"Mr. Kuai laughed, Liang is a South Korean envoy, and his mission has not yet been completed." Zhang Liang did not refuse or agree, but said something that was mocking.

Lu Zhe, who was paying attention on the side, lit up his eyes after hearing this. He heard Zhang Liang's hint, which was Zhang Liang saying that if the mission of this trip was achieved, and King Han allowed it, he was willing to serve under the account. However, he forgot that there was an exchange of officials during the Warring States Period, and Zhang Liang meant to come to obey orders as Han Chen, rather than come to take refuge.

Kuaitong temptation is just a kind of conversation, which is just a kind of conversation with each other's subordinates, and Lu Zhe is not allowed to solicit it in person on the current occasion.

"If Zhang Liang comes, then the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty can be regarded as all recorded." Lu Zhe's mood became very happy.

Travelers, there is always a hobby of gathering historical celebrities, and Lu Zhe is naturally no exception.

After inspecting the section of the city wall in the north of the city, Lu Zhe went to see part of the air canal and caisson well, and finally looked at the chain bridge connecting Nanjun and Cangwu County.

Nanling City is still in the stage of infrastructure construction, and the necessary sewage and drainage system has not yet been perfected, so Lu Zhe has an acceptable attitude towards the desolation of the city. Waiting for the infrastructure of Nanling City to take shape, even if others don't say it, he will carry out part of the immigration to fill the city.

After a brief look around, seeing that it was almost noon, Lu Zhe also ordered to go home.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Lu Zhe immediately smiled and said to Kuaitong: "Tomorrow, we will officially summon the envoys of various countries. ”

Kuaitong responded with a smile: "It's time to summon them one by one." He saw that Lu Zhe was in a very good mood, and said: "The envoys of various countries have come with the purpose of asking for help this time, does the Lord have any regulations?" ”

To be honest, Lu Zhe hadn't figured out how to deal with it yet, and only waited for the envoys of Zhao, Wei, and Han to put forward their respective goals before they could consider them one by one.

"In the face of the Qin army's attack, Zhao must have wanted to form an alliance with us to fight against Qin. In fact, Zhao has also been seeking help from other countries, but it is obvious that the old six countries are not reliable at all. That's why they come to the Lord. We are now mainly resting and recuperating, and it is impossible to send troops to Qindi in a short period of time. However, it is not in our interest to sit back and watch the Qin army destroy the Zhao State. After Kuaitong finished speaking, he talked about Wei Han again: "The goal of Wei is simple, but he is to befriend us and find a backer nearby." The other is to test our attitude towards Wei accepting the loan of seven counties from Chu. South Korea also has the same goal, and in addition to testing our attitude towards borrowing land from the Chu State, it may also seek help in terms of wealth and grain. ”

In order to deal with the aggressiveness of Qi, it is no secret that Chu took out Surabaya County to borrow the territory of Wei and Han under the hype of Xiang Liang.

"The state of Chu cannot master Surabaya County. The division of Surabaya County was lent to Wei and Han respectively. In some ways, this is also in our interest. "Lu Zhe would not be willing to see the increasingly powerful Qi State Dye Guide, so it would definitely be in their interest for Wei and Han to take Surabaya County as a buffer zone.

"Presumably, Xiang Liang also guessed the attitude of the Lord, so he hyped it up." Kuaitong is a Qi person, but he is now Lu Zhe's adjutant, what he should do is to think about how to protect Lu Zhe's interests: "We can also support Wei and Han on a certain basis, so that Wei Han can take over the territory of Surabaya County smoothly." But for Qi and Chu, what we should do is to deepen the contradictions between the two countries. ”

Compared with the pattern in history when the world was in chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Chu State immediately rose to become the strongest among the countries, and after the rise of Lu Zhe, he occupied the Nan County, Hengshan County, Lujiang County, and Jiujiang County that should have belonged to the Chu State, and the Chu State was far less powerful than it should have been in history.

Opposite. Since this version of history is the corresponding preparation of the nobles of various countries, the restoration of each country is relatively smooth, and the Qi State immediately restores its old territory after the successful restoration, and there is not much threat next to the Qi State. As a result, the strength of the Qi State has recovered, and it is the fastest among the original six countries.

In the original history, the state of Qi has always been dependent on the state of Chu, in fact, not only the state of Qi, but also Zhao, Wei, Han, and Yan were also subject to the state of Chu in the original history. And now? Lü Zhe rose out of thin air in the south. The State of Qi is not the weak Cunzi who struggles to stand up from the smoke everywhere, so it is replaced by the strong State of Qi and the weak State of Chu.

"In addition, although we will not attack Qin Land for a short time. But we can't sit back and watch the Zhao State perish. As soon as Zhao is dead, Qin will have a chance to breathe and will definitely draw his hand to deal with us. Kuaitong thought for a moment and said, "If Zhao Envoy asks for an alliance, we naturally can't agree. However, in some respects, it was possible to reach an agreement with the Zhao State, such as the trade routes that the Lord had always valued? ”

Yes, Lu Zhejue couldn't sit back and watch the fall of Zhao State, and should give Zhao State support to some extent, but he never thought through how to judge the strength of support.

"Zhao Di is short of food, we won't have a big war in the near future, why don't we trade grain to Zhao Guo? Once Zhao Guo makes up for the dilemma of lack of food, it can be supported for more time. Kuaitong thought about it.

Lu Zhe shook his head categorically, after the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops in a row for several months, most of the food they looted from the Baiyue people was gone, and they were not so rich that they had no place to use food.

I don't know how long the turmoil in the world will last, food is a material that can be more than less, and Lu Zhe would rather take out the wealth than agree to take out the grain.

"Lord, things are urgent, and the support given to Zhao Guoliang now is buying time for us. Nanjun, Hengshan County, and Cangwu County can increase at least 600,000 mu of cultivated land in spring ploughing next year, and as long as the harvest is made in the autumn of next year, we will not be short of grain. We can trade food for a population in need, and that will do us more than harm. Kuaitong persuaded.

"Huh?!" Lu Zhe has paid less attention to civil affairs recently, and was surprised to hear that nearly 600,000 acres of cultivated land will be developed next year: "So much? ”

"It's not much." Kuai Channel: "The development speed of Nanjun is extremely fast, and Manager Xiao has made plans for the plains of Cangwu County, and Hengshan County has also begun to stabilize dìng, and 600,000 mu of cultivated land is only the first phase of development. ”

It's strange that Lu Zhe hasn't received Xiao He's relevant report yet, so how can Kuaitong have the relevant number in his hand.

"Manager Xiao talked with Tong a few times, and also borrowed the map of mountains and rivers to consult, which is the number of developable acres of land obtained by sending people through field investigations, but Manager Xiao has not personally gone to check, so he has not reported for the time being." Kuaitong briefly explained, and then said: "Of course, that is based on the labor force of nearly 200,000 tuntian soldiers after you reorganize the army. After the completion of the first batch of development, the second batch can be developed with idle manpower, and it is expected that nearly 1.4 million mu of land will be developed within three years. ”

Lu Zhe was stunned for a moment, 1.4 million mu is 14,000 hectares, and the area is 933.33 million square meters, this figure seems a bit terrifying.

Horror? It doesn't seem surprising at all. Vaguely in the Western Han Dynasty, the acres of land under the names of nobles are often hundreds of hectares, and the acres of fields under the names of some marquis are also one or two thousand hectares at every turn. And how many nobles were there in the Western Han Dynasty? There are nearly a hundred marquis alone. The land of these nobles is mainly concentrated near Chang'an, and Xiao He took out the land of the three counties to plan 14,000 acres as acres, which is actually considered a small amount.

What is the total area of land under Lu Zhe's rule now? The land of the five counties is about the area of the three modern provinces of Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi, how big is that? In fact, if it is really developed, it will not be too difficult to develop the woods and wasteland into acres, and add 100,000 hectares of cultivated land for Lu Zhe.

In the current years, the annual output of one mu of land is about three to four stone of grain, and the annual output of 600,000 mu is taken as a middle figure, that is, it can produce 2.2 million stone of grain a year.

The amount of grain consumed by the 100,000 army per month should be about 30,000 stones, and if there was no situation in the war where the baggage troops were looted by the enemy and the granaries were burned down, the output of Lu Zhezhi in the next year would have been able to feed the 100,000 army for six years. However, there are hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn, and in fact, a year's grain production capacity can support 300,000 troops for a whole year.

Of course, in fact, it is impossible to use all the grain produced to feed the army, and a considerable part of the government's grain production needs to be invested in the people, so as to ensure that the people will not run out of food and cause turmoil.

The number of acres of land in the public family has a preliminary amount, and it is time for Lu Zhe to set aside land to reward his subordinates, and their current titles are still according to the system of the Qin State, so it is easier to calculate how much land should be obtained for what title.

According to preliminary calculations, the land that Lu Zhe needs to reward his command should be about 3,000 hectares, and his plan is to set aside the corresponding land on the Cangwu side for reward, knowing that Kuaitong and Yan Bi disagree with this plan, after all, Cangwu County is too desolate, and they are worried that everyone will complain.

Although Cangwu County is desolate, the land is quite fertile, and Lu Zhe actually has good intentions when he divides the land he wants to share in Cangwu County.

There will be many complaints about the land in Cangwu County, and the land in Nanjun has corresponding plans, and then Lu Zhe also re-planned it, taking Hengshan County and the newly acquired Lujiang County into account.

As the land is about to be rewarded, with the land, it is natural to need people to cultivate, Lu Zhe's command is basically following the rise of the people in Weimo, it is destined that there is no huge number of clansmen to farm, so the demand for slaves will also follow, if Lu Zhe does not ask about slaves at the city gate, Yan Bi, who hears many requests, will also find an opportunity to report to Lu Zhe.

These things can't be solved overnight, and it's not something that Lu Zhe can handle alone, he is already considering establishing departments such as three provinces and six ministries to deal with the corresponding affairs, and these will have to be carefully consulted with all the subordinates later, but the premise is that there are enough chief officials.
