Since ancient times, the main factor limiting population growth is nothing more than war disease and famine, the war itself will lose a large number of people, at the same time, it will also displace a large number of people, and these displaced people can not cultivate normally, which will cause starvation, a large number of people will starve to death, disease is the executioner of the people's lives, too many people die because they are sick and cannot be treated, not to mention the famine, the people take food as the sky, and there is no food in the years of famine. A large number of people had to beg along the roads or starve to death. ，

For war, it can be controlled to minimize the impact on the population, and for diseases and famines, it is natural that it can be prevented and dealt with.

Hua'an asked Li Shuqu and Huangfu to come so that they could help him solve the problems of disease and famine, so that the population could grow rapidly.

"What happens if the sick don't get timely treatment, and the hungry don't have food to feed their hunger?" Hua An looked at the two of them and asked.

Hearing this, the two thought for a moment, and they both suddenly realized that they finally understood that Hua'an's intention was to let them solve the problem of disease and hunger.

"What does the king mean to continue to expand the construction of water conservancy and medical centers?" Li Shuqu asked.

Hua An smiled, nodded and said: "Yes, this is the plan of this king, not only that, this king hopes that you can cultivate more talents, and give the knowledge you have learned to more people without reservation, so that I can have more medical and water conservancy talents in Dajin, so as to benefit the society and the people, what do you think?" ”

Obviously, in this era, a lot of knowledge is inherited from father to son, and some people with skills are unwilling to pass on their knowledge and abilities to irrelevant people. So as not to let the apprentice control himself, he will threaten the interests of his family, which is the biggest reason why the scholar clan can prosper for a long time, because they have a monopoly on knowledge, except for the children of their family. Others can't learn these things, and for this reason, they naturally don't have certain abilities.

"The king can rest assured that as long as he encounters qualified talents, his subordinates will definitely put what they have learned all their lives into order to benefit the community and the people." The imperial doctor responded with a straight face.

"Your Majesty, when your subordinates meet a proud disciple, they will not hide their secrets." Li Shuqu said.

Obviously, there was some ambiguity in what they were saying. If you meet a proud disciple, you will teach each other, so if you can't meet a proud disciple with good qualifications, wouldn't you have to keep the most core ability, however, many core abilities are in their hearts, as long as the two of them are unwilling, no one can take it away and share it, so. This must be done in a matter of persuasion, not by force. so as not to backfire.

Hua An looked at the two of them and said happily: "I can have two great talents in Dajin, it's really a blessing for the community!" This king has decided to expand the school hall in Luoyang City on a large scale, and gather talents from all over the country to let them come to Luoyang City to study. However, in this way, the two of them have worked hard. ”

"It's not hard, it's what we should do to share the worries of the king." Li Shuqu and Huangfu said in unison.

Hua An nodded happily, and then said: "The two great talents have worked so hard for the social work of Dajin. How can this king owe you, this king has decided to build a stone monument for the two of you in the school in Luoyang City, and to be admired by future generations forever. ”

Li Shuqu and Huangfu Doctor were a little surprised when they heard this, they didn't expect that Hua'an would give them such a high treatment, and building a statue in the capital is not an honor that anyone can have, and the two of them suddenly felt flattered.

"Your Majesty, how can Li Shuqu be virtuous, it is not worth it for the king to do this."

"The king has already erected a statue of the ancestor of my Huangfu family, so my statue will be exempted!"

Li Shuqu and Huangfu Doctor both opened their mouths to reject Hua'an's kindness.

Hua An smiled, and said: "Both of you are rare talents in my Great Jin, this king erected a statue for you in recognition of your contribution to imparting knowledge, if you feel guilty, then you can teach more of your knowledge, so that Dajin has more talents like you, haha!" That's it, this king will have someone paint you in the afternoon, and you only need to stay in Luoyang City in the future and teach knowledge. ”

Obviously, Hua'an has made up his mind and does not allow the two to refute, after all, as long as they are more willing to pass on the knowledge they have mastered to more people, so that the entire Dajin will have more talents.

Talent is the most important resource for the country's prosperity, only with enough talents, in order to make Dajin stronger, medical and water conservancy talents, seemingly very inconspicuous, but play a very vital role in the strength of the country, after all, the strength of the country has a great relationship with the population, and the rapid development of medicine and water conservancy, will promote large-scale population growth, so that the national strength can be enhanced more quickly.

Seeing that Hua'an had made up his mind, Li Shuqu and Huangfu Doctor had to agree, but the little selfishness that originally existed in their hearts was also completely integrated by Hua'an's favor, and they secretly made up their minds in their hearts to cultivate the most talents for Dajin in the shortest possible time to repay Hua'an's kindness.

After arranging Li Shuqu and Huangfu Doctor, Hua An summoned his subordinates to discuss various strategies for the Northern Expedition to Yan in the main hall.

When deciding to go on the Northern Expedition to Yan, Hua'an had already thought of a lot of strategies, and had already understood the general situation in Yanguo, and even the terrain of Youzhou and Pingzhou had been explored, and it had been made into a very intuitive sand table model.

Hua An stood in front of the sand table model, pointed to the various locations in Youzhou and Pingzhou, and explained briefly.

"The Northern Expedition to Yan, the scale of my Great Jin will send troops of more than 500,000, of which the main force of soldiers and horses from Jizhou to the north, directly to the direction of Jicheng, the capital of Yan State, to attack, and the other side division from the northeast of Liao, threatening the back of Yan State, thus forming a two-sided attack on Yan State, the main force of the army has 400,000 soldiers and horses, including the 100,000 Jingzhou Army that is about to go north, the partial division of Liaodong, in addition to the less than 100,000 troops under the command of General Wang Wu, there are also 50,000 reinforcements of the Yangzhou Legion Water Army, I Dajin two ways attack, It is expected that the Yan Kingdom should be unable to resist, but this king is very worried that the soldiers and horses such as Goguryeo Sanhan Fuyu will reinforce the Yan Kingdom. If such a situation occurs, it will be very unfavorable to our Northern Expeditionary Army. Hua An said and looked at his subordinates.

"The king doesn't have to worry, except for Dai Guo, who is a hardcore ally of Yan State, the rest of the small countries are oppressed by Yan State, as long as we promise huge profits and say that we will not encroach on their land. subordinates believe that these ways.

"Yes! Your Majesty, as long as the conditions we give are generous enough, Goguryeo and other countries will definitely be tempted, and when the time comes, I am afraid that they will unite with my Great Jin and jointly crusade against Yan. Zhuge Xiong said loudly.

Hua An nodded: "I hope so, but we still have to prepare for the worst, like this." When things don't go the way we predicted, we can adapt. ”

"Wang, the last general suggested attacking the west and defending the east, and the main army of more than 400,000 launched an attack in the direction of Jizhou, while the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Liaodong attacked cautiously, mainly taking a defensive position, so that Yan could not do its best to defend against the attack of the main force of our army on the western front." Wang San suggested loudly.

"There is some truth in what General Wang said. However, you still have to move with the camera. If Yan Guo throws all the main troops and horses into the western front, and the eastern front is extremely empty, then more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Liaodong should immediately take the initiative to attack and completely capture Pingzhou, and echo the soldiers and horses of Jizhou. to flank the main army of the Yan State. Zhuge Xiong said.

"Yes! Oh, yes! General Zhuge is right, everything depends on the specific situation, the army should move, attack if it can attack, and defend if it can be guarded. Only in this way can our army be invincible. Several generals chimed in.

"Your Majesty, the 400,000 main forces of soldiers and horses in Jizhou, led by General Xie An, should not have much of a problem, but the soldiers and horses in Liaodong and Jizhou are separated by the North Sea, and the transmission of orders will not be very timely, Liaodong must have a respected general to command in a unified manner, does the king plan to let General Wang Wu command, or let Han Yong of the Yangzhou Army command?" Wang Meng said loudly.

Hearing this, Hua An nodded and said: "What General Wang said is very reasonable, Liaodong is far away from Jizhou, if General Xie Ai is in charge, it will be difficult for Liaodong's soldiers and horses to receive orders in time, but whether it is General Wang Wu or General Han Yong, this king is very uneasy!" After all, Liaodong's soldiers and horses are fighting against the water, once Goguryeo and other small countries form an alliance with Yan, it is very likely to launch an attack on Liaodong, and this Northern Expedition to Yan is an extremely important military operation of our Great Jin, and it cannot be defeated. After speaking, he looked at Wang Meng.

"Wang, the last general is willing to go to Liaodong and be responsible for commanding Liaodong's partial divisions, please ask the king for permission." Wang Meng shouted for help.

The Northern Expedition to Yan is an extremely important action, not allowing the slightest mistake, for this reason, Hua'an not only carefully considered almost all the details, and also, the appointment of generals is also very cautious, all the generals who are transferred to the front line are fierce generals who can fight well, Jizhou direction has Xie Ai in charge of command, Hua'an naturally does not need to worry too much, and the partial division in the direction of Liaodong is responsible for containing Yan from the side, the importance is also self-evident, but Wang Wu's ability is obviously inferior to Murong Ke of Yan State, so, Hua An was very worried that Liaodong's soldiers and horses would be eaten by Murong Ke first, but Hua An was a lot more relieved when he thought that Yangzhou's 50,000 naval troops would immediately reinforce Liaodong.

At this time, Wang Meng took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Liaodong to lead this partial division, Hua'an was naturally very happy, and immediately responded: "Okay, great, with General Wang going to Liaodong to lead the partial division, this king can sit back and relax, General Wang can select 3,000 elite men and horses from Luoyang City to go together." ”

"Yes, the king, the last general must be fortunate not to be dishonored, and capture the Yan Kingdom for the king as soon as possible." Wang Meng said confidently.

"Good, good." Hua'an nodded with great satisfaction, Jizhou has Xie Ai to lead the army, Liaodong has Wang Meng's partial division, the rear grain and grass are sufficient, and there are still 400,000 reserve soldiers and horses in Luoyang City, no matter how you conceive, the Northern Expedition to Yan is a victory in sight, and there is no possibility of defeat at all.

Thinking that Youzhou and Pingzhou can be recovered soon, Hua An's heart can't help but be a little excited, as long as Youzhou and Pingzhou are recovered, all the lost territories of the Great Jin Dynasty will be recovered, and the next step is to expand the territory.

"Your Majesty, news has just been sent back from the direction of Jingzhou, and the Pingdong general Huan Chong has gathered 100,000 Jingzhou troops, and he will march north in two days." A confidant soldier reported loudly.

When Hua An and his subordinates heard this, they were all very happy, and the Jingzhou army was finally dispatched, and it seemed that they still did not dare to violate the holy decree.

"Deng Qiang and Yang An, the two of you immediately go back to prepare, and in five days later, you will lead an army of 100,000 to go north to Mengjin, and take the lead in crossing the river, waiting for the main force of the Jingzhou army on the north bank of the Yellow River." Hua An ordered loudly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the last will obey." Deng Qiang and Yang An, Zhengse led the order.

At this time, everything is ready, as long as it goes well, it is already a sure thing for the Great Jin Dynasty to recover Youzhou and Pingzhou, and Hua'an only needs to wait for the news of victory in Luoyang City.

However, at this time, after all, Youzhou and Pingzhou have not been recovered, so Hua'an still does not dare to be careless, and from time to time in the main hall, looking at the sand table model of Youzhou and Pingzhou, thinking about the possible defensive strategies of the Yan army, and according to each other's strength, they also estimate the possible losses of the Northern Expedition to Yan, as well as the grain, grass and military materials that need to be consumed.

Although Hua'an has thought of a number of routes to attack Yan, Hua'an still handed over the initiative of how to attack Yanguo to Xie Ai and Wang Meng, because he believes that these two generals will be able to complete their tasks well and successfully recover Youzhou and Pingzhou, as for whether the route of the march is consistent with what they think, it doesn't matter, after all, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and they can better find the enemy situation and fighters on the front line, and immediately seize the fighters to attack the Yan army.

The front-line operation is commanded by the subordinate generals, and Hua'an does not need to worry too much, but the consumption of manpower and material resources in the war is very huge, so the amount of manpower and material resources determines how far the Great Jin can expand in the future, and how far it can plant its banner.

The number of manpower and material resources depends on the size of the population, only a large population and a reasonable division of labor can produce huge manpower and material resources, so that the Great Jin has a huge strength and can expand to distant regions.

Therefore, although the consumption of manpower and material resources in the Northern Expedition to Yanguo was very huge, Hua'an still had to spare some manpower and material resources to expand the academy in Luoyang City to train medical and water conservancy talents, and in addition, water conservancy construction should continue to be strengthened so that heaven and earth could produce more output. u
