Zhao Jia was stationed in Daijun for a short time, less than a month before and after, and the ruling foundation in Daijun was not deep, on the contrary, Li Mu had been stationed in Daijun for many years, and he had won the hearts of the people, and most of the soldiers in Li Mu's army were also from Daijun, so after seizing Daijun, the people were not disgusted with the army of the plateau, and they were very obedient to the rule of the plateau.

As a result, order in the city also settled down quickly, and it only took three or four days for Daijun to basically restore normal order, and the residents dared to go out on the streets, and the shops were also open. Of course, this is also related to the bold opening of the plateau, because two days after occupying Daigun, the plateau announced the opening of the city gates, allowing residents inside and outside the city to enter and exit on their own.

It turned out that after Zhao Jia entered Daijun, he was afraid that Li Mu's old troops would enter the city, so he ordered the city gate to be closed and the people inside and outside the city were forbidden to enter and leave freely.

Although the commerce of Daijun is not very developed, life in the city is inseparable from commercial exchanges. There was no circulation inside and outside the city for a month, and the daily necessities were not replenished, resulting in soaring prices and material shortages, which also had a great impact on the lives of urban residents. And Gao Yuan ordered that the city gates be opened, and the residents were allowed to enter and exit on their own, so that the goods could circulate, which was indeed something that the people of Daijun were very much looking forward to. And comparing Zhao Jia and Gao Yuan's behavior in Dai County, Gao Yuan naturally made a judgment, so Gao Yuan is also very popular with the people.

In the past few days, Ning Qi and others have also made detailed statistics on the food, materials, money, and so on in the city, and now there are more than 363,700 stones of grain in the city, more than 257,200 stones of horse material, and more than 5,000 stones of salt; In terms of armaments, there are 227 large bed crossbows, 187 stone throwing machines, more than 27,000 bows, more than 12,000 swords, about 100,000 other weapons, more than 53,000 helmets, and more than 6,000 tents. Other materials include 1,260 pieces of gold, more than 5 million pieces of knife coins and copper coins, more than 1,200 pairs of jade walls, more than 8,000 pieces of cloth, more than 30,000 catties of bronze piers, and more than 60,000 heads of cattle, donkeys and sheep.

On the whole, the materials in Daijun City are still quite abundant, enough to support half a year or even longer. There are two reasons for the abundance of materials, one is that Li Yinghong originally moved a large amount of food and materials to Dai County, and Zhao Jia stationed in Dai County, which also brought a considerable part of the materials, of course, now it has become the bag of the plateau.

In addition, the vast majority of the captured soldiers chose to surrender to the plateau and were willing to serve the plateau. Although the Zhao people were strong, brave and aggressive, and generally did not surrender lightly, in the Battle of Changping that year, the Zhao army held out for 47 days in a desperate situation where there was no food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside, and more than half of the troops were lost before they were dragged physically and mentally exhausted by the Qin army, and all surrendered to the Qin army.

But the Qin army is an enemy army after all, and the current situation is different, although Zhao Jia regards himself as the orthodoxy of Zhao, but he is not the king of Zhao after all, for the soldiers, Zhao is actually destroyed, Zhao Jia and Zhao Cong are just the remnants of Zhao, and Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong are also the remnants of Zhao. But Zhao Jia and Zhao Cong are both clans of Zhao State, but Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong are from military backgrounds, so in the concept of ordinary soldiers, the identities of Zhao Jia and Zhao Cong are unattainable, and Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong are much closer.

Moreover, Li Mu's prestige in the Zhao military is extremely high, even if he is not a soldier under Li Mu, he also has a sense of admiration for Li Mu, and in this regard, Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong also take a lot of advantage. Of course, the identity of the plateau's generals also has a great impact on the soldiers.

Under the combined effect of these reasons, Gao Yuan announced to the surrendered troops that only the first offender should be corrected, and the accomplice would not be counted, and as long as he was subordinated to himself, he would be treated the same as other soldiers. So the soldiers were immediately willing to submit, anyway, under whose hands they were not a mess.

With the addition of the subjugated army, the army under the control of the plateau now has about 168,000 people, more than 5,300 craftsmen, more than 72,000 war horses, and more than 700 chariots.

At the same time, it was ascertained that there were three counties and 12 cities under the entire Dai County, with a total of 185,217 households and a total of 862,527 people. Among them, there were 26,727 households and 165,377 people. There are 6,282,800 acres of land in total.

However, this is more than ten years ago, when Li Mu was still stationed in Dai County, because in the past ten years, Li Mu has left Dai County, the management is lax, and the registered population and land properties have not been recounted. In more than ten years, there will certainly be a lot of changes, so these data can only be used as a reference, and cannot be used as a basis for tax and labor, and it is necessary to conduct a new census of the land and property of the registered population of Dai County.

Moreover, with the power of Daijun alone, it is definitely impossible to compete with the Qin State, and even the current army of more than 100,000 cannot be fed, so the top priority is to try our best to expand the territory and expand their territory and population. But now the state of Qin is too powerful, and for a considerable period of time, it is impossible for its own strength to compete with the state of Qin, so it is not feasible to expand its territory to the south. And the north is already a desert, it is useless to grab it, there is room for expansion in the east and west, the west of Dai County is Yanmen County and Yunzhong County, and the east is Shanggu County, the old land of Zhao Kingdom in Duli, of course, it is also a place that can be seized.

It is not difficult to occupy these three counties, but these places are also vast and sparsely populated, and the population of the three counties together is less than half of that of Dai County, so even if all three counties are occupied, the current situation will not change much. But if you can expand it a little bit, and occupy all three counties, at least you will have much more room for maneuver.

In addition, Gao Yuan also considered that under the current situation, it was not appropriate to maintain a regular army of 1670,000 by himself. As a matter of fact, it is impossible for any country to maintain a large number of regular troops, and the vast majority of soldiers are military and civilian, working as farmers in peacetime and conscripting into the army in wartime. Even the Qin State claims to have a million soldiers, but the regular army is only between 200,000 and 250,000, and the rest of the army is also recruited from the people.

Even if he occupied the three counties of Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Shanggu, he was only equivalent to the size of a medium-sized vassal state, and there was no need to maintain such a large number of troops. It is enough to keep only 60,000 to 70,000 regular troops, and the rest of the soldiers are disbanded and returned to the peasants, on the one hand, it can expand the agricultural population and increase agricultural production; On the other hand, it is also hiding troops from the people, and can quickly organize a strong force in wartime. Of course, the conventional armies that have been retained are all elite, and they are mainly cavalry troops, and the soldiers who have been disbanded and returned to the peasants must also have a strict organization, so that when there is a war, the army can be organized in the shortest possible time.

Of course, these things cannot be worked out all at once, and how to select and allocate the regular army, how to organize it, and how to organize the soldiers who have disbanded and returned to the peasants all need to be planned in detail and discussed with everyone before they can be formulated.

Therefore, Gao Yuan realized that things are simply complicated, as if everything is important, everything should be done immediately, and it seems that it is indeed not an easy thing to do.

At this moment, a soldier reported to the plateau that Wu Zhanpeng and Shen Shen had returned, and of course they also brought all the villagers of Yanbei Village, and at the same time, there was also a group of wild horses brought by the plateau's BMW Chilong.

After hearing the news, Gao Yuan was also very happy, and he had been waiting for the villagers of Yanbei Village to arrive, because Jiang Huanwu, Ling Feng and others were all talents that Gao Yuan was needing. Therefore, Gao Yuan also put other things aside first, and led Li Yinghong, Yun Yao, Geng Yanyu, Zhao Xuan and others to go out of the city to greet Jiang Huanwu and his party.

When they came to the outside of the city, they saw Guiguzi, Jiang Huanwu, Han Xiuwan, Jiang Mingxia, Ling Feng and others leading many villagers to wait outside the city.

Gao Yuan and the others first gave a salute to the Guigu Valley, and then met Jiang Huanwu and the others, naturally there was a cold noise, greeting each other after the separation, and at the same time, Gao Yuan also introduced Zhao Xuan and Jiang Huanwu to each other, although the two had never met, but in fact, they were both apprentices, so they were familiar at first sight. And Li Yinghong and Geng Yanyu also met Han Xiuwan through Yun Yao's introduction, and several women also talked very speculatively for a while, while Jiang Mingxia went to find Yun Yao's big wolf Xiaobai and BMW Chilong.

After talking for a while, Gao Yuan led everyone into the city together, and at this time, more than 2,000 tents had been set up in several places in the city, and tomorrow they would start to move from the camp outside the city to the city, and the villagers of Yanbei Village were also the first residents to settle in the city.

Gao Yuan also repeatedly explained to Jiang Huanwu and the villagers that living in tents in the city was only temporary, and that in the future, it was necessary to designate a place to build a house, and then move to a new home when the time came.

However, the villagers are still very grateful to the plateau, it turned out that only two days after the plateau left Yanbei Village, the Xiongnu concentrated more than 3,000 cavalry troops, killed Yanbei Village, fortunately, the village had already prepared, one step ahead of the retreat to Yanmen Mountain to hide, so the personnel were not injured. However, the Xiongnu searched for a few days near the village, but could not find anything, so they had to vent their anger on the village, set a fire and burned the entire village into ruins, and then evacuated from Yanbei Village.

Although the villagers were not injured or died, their homes had been destroyed and they could never go back. Fortunately, at this time, Ling Feng and others came to Yanmen Mountain with Wu Zhanpeng, Shen Shen and the army to meet the villagers. At this time, the villagers had nowhere to go, so they were also willing to follow Wu Zhanpeng and Shen Shen to move to Daijun to settle down, so everyone walked out of Yanmen Mountain together and marched to Daijun. And along the way, it sheltered many refugees who were ransacked by the Xiongnu and escaped.

After coming to Daijun, I found that there were ready-made tents here, and the protection of the city and the army, and the villagers were very satisfied.
