Chapter 194: Yan Guo Sends Troops

After more than three months of hard work, the fields have been planted with green seedlings, and when you look at them, all of them are green. At this time, the spring ploughing is basically over, and there is still a month or two before the summer, so during this time, the farmers can also take a break and accumulate strength for the summer watering.

Of course, at this time, it is often the time for the government to collect labor. Sometimes wars are waged during this time, but of course the plateau will not start wars, and this year's labor is mainly to dig canals and build houses, which are all related to the vital interests of the people, so the people are also very willing to participate in this year's labor.

At this time, the land inventory and household registration statistics of Dai County had basically ended, and after careful investigation, Dai County found a total of 5,674,700 mu of land, and another 537,000 mu of newly reclaimed land.

Of these lands, a total of 1,265,500 acres of land directly under the government were directly under the government. Some of them belonged to Li Mu and survived by Gao Yuan, and some were originally owned by officials of Zhao, but these officials were either dead or had become ministers of Qin, and these lands naturally became terra nullius and were taken over by the government. Others were confiscated in this land clearance. Now the land is leased to the people, and the rent is very low. Therefore, it is also very popular with the people.

At the same time, after the split, there were a total of 228,751 households registered in Daijun, with a total of 977,725 people. The fact that these two tasks can be completed in a period of more than three years is inseparable from the vigorous cooperation of the local powerful forces. After destroying the Zhao family in Linhe Village, the local powerful forces in the entire Dai County were suppressed, and in the subsequent investigation work, the powerful forces did not dare to oppose blatantly. In this way, the statistical work was also carried out very smoothly.

Of course, because of the large population, there are many new households that have been divided, and the division of property and land cannot be completed in just two or three months, so Gao Yuan also authorized these wealthy and powerful households to first record the total land and property of the whole family and the household registration after the split, and give them six months to divide the family property, and then register it with the government. Those who fail to register with the government within the time limit will be forcibly divided by the government according to absolute egalitarianism.

On the whole, although some people resisted during the inventory of the land, first, in the process of the inventory, the officials sent by the plateau were basically able to deal with it impartially, and at the same time, they also incorporated a large number of idle people in society, strictly prohibited private fights, and also made the social order much more stable; Moreover, when checking the soil fields and counting household registration, it was also focused on cracking down on the powerful forces, and the most important point was that the taxes and labor forces formulated by the plateau were not high, so it was still approved by most of the people, and the rule of the plateau in Daijun was also gradually stabilized through this incident.

However, the biggest problem facing the plateau at present is the shortage of labor, after all, the population of Daijun is not more than one million, and there are only about 300,000 young and strong men, and even if young women are included, it is only about 500,000 or 600,000. In addition to the need to resettle the soldiers who have been transferred to the people, a large number of houses need to be built, and canals have to be dug up, and now the fields of Daijun are basically located near the river, which is more conducive to irrigation, and after the newly cultivated more than 500,000 mu of land, the land near the river has basically been reclaimed, and if it is to be reclaimed, it can only be in a place far away from the river. This requires the digging of canals to divert water for irrigation.

In order to build the Zhengguo Canal, it took more than ten years and millions of laborers to use before and after, and South Korea even regarded the excavation of the Zhengguo Canal as a tired Qin plan. However, the canal was successfully dug and it was a matter of a hundred generations. Therefore, after the Qin State dug the Zhengguo Canal with the strength of the whole country, the national strength did not decline, and the opening of the Zhengguo Canal made the entire Guanzhong region a fertile soil, and there was no disaster year again, but the result made the Qin State richer and stronger.

Of course, Daijun does not need such a huge project as Zhengguo Canal, but with the current labor force of the plateau, it is impossible to establish a river canal system covering the entire territory of Daijun without five or six years.

Fortunately, the small population also has the advantage of a small population, that is, the land needed is not much, and the current fields are basically enough, and there is no need to cultivate new fields on a large scale, so the canals are not so urgent, and the canals of the existing land need to be managed well.

But now there is another big project on the plateau that needs to be carried out urgently, that is, the expansion of the county seat. Now Daijun is the base of the plateau, it is naturally necessary to strengthen the defense of Daijun, the plateau plans to build an outer city wall on the periphery of the existing city wall of Daijun, and build four to six acropolis, forming a perfect defensive body, but this project is also costly, requiring a lot of manpower and material resources.

It's just that the increase in population is not an overnight thing, it will take at least 20 years or more, and it will not be urgent. At least for now, the shape of Daijun is still good, and the development prospects are very good. Therefore, the plateau is also relatively reassuring.

However, although the internal situation of Daijun is very good, the external situation is not very good, and the envoy to Yan was rejected by Yan Wangxi, so he had to return to Daijun without finding anything. And Lin Wenqing's trade with Yan was also very difficult, and several Yan merchants who had trade with Lin Wenqing in the past also refused to trade with Dai County.

One of the merchants sued Lin Wenqing, in fact, the merchants of Yan State did not exclude doing business with Daijun, after all, for merchants, as long as they made money, they could do business with whomever they wanted, but Yan Wangxi issued an order to strictly order all merchants in Yan Kingdom to do business with Daijun. The reason is that Yao Jia, the envoy of the Qin State, has reached the Yan State, and Ju said that he was persuading Yan Wangxi to send troops to attack Daijun, but he was strongly opposed by Yan Prince Dan and Taifu Juwu, so Yan Wangxi was still in Yuyu, but he refused to meet the envoy sent by the plateau, and also said that Yan Wangxi did not have much good impression of Daijun.

After receiving this news, Gao Yuan was also a little confused, because the famous Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin in history was planned by Yan Guo, although the main planner was Prince Dan, but such a major event, King Yan was overjoyed, although he came to this time and space and disrupted the history of this time and space, but it didn't seem to affect Yan Guo's decision-making, so joining forces with himself to resist Qin should be the right choice for Yan Guo, but Yan Guo just refused to make friends with himself. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Yan Guo intends to arrange this way in order to curry favor with Qin State, so that Qin State can relax its vigilance against Yan State, and it is also possible to assassinate Qin.

So will Yan send troops to attack Daijun at the request of Qin? Gao Yuan is also a little uncertain, after all, the current international situation is indeed too complicated, and he made a mistake in judging the alliance with Yan State, and Gao Yuan did not dare to make a simple judgment lightly. However, the heart of harming people is indispensable, and the heart of guarding people is indispensable, Gao Yuan still ordered that Sima Shang, who was stationed in Shanggu County, prepare for it, strengthen the defense, and send a large number of spies to closely observe the movements of Yan State.

Originally, after completing the land survey and household registration division of Dai County, Gao Yuan planned to implement the new decree to the three newly occupied counties, but now Yan Guo may attack him, so Gao Yuan did not dare to act rashly, so he had to stop for a while, and then talk about it after he could figure out the true intentions of Yan Guo. In addition, Gao Yuan also knows that even in Dai County, the local heroes are not willing to abide by the new law, and Gao Yuan has received several reports, and many local heroes and heroes have frequently gathered, just to discuss how to deal with themselves.

Of course, if the plateau and the army are located in Daijun, they will naturally not be afraid of any actions of the powerful in these places, but once the Yan State sends troops to attack Daijun, it must send troops to resist the Yan army, and the Daijun is empty. Therefore, although I don't know if the Yan Kingdom will send troops, Zisi must also think of a plan to deal with it first.

First of all, it is natural to stay in Dai County to have enough troops, which is not difficult, although there are not many standing troops now, but there are more than 100,000 troops in Dai County, all of which are placed in Dai County, this group of people themselves are regular troops, and they can fight when they are pulled up, so the strength is not a problem. Guan Jian is trying his best to defeat the Yan army, only by defeating the Yan army in a short period of time can he suppress the local powerful forces, even if the local powerful forces really make trouble, as long as they defeat the Yan army, they can also rush back in time to rescue. It is afraid that the two sides will fight a war of attrition, which will not only be protracted, but also the plateau cannot be consumed now, and if there is really a war, it is best to end it within three months.

Therefore, Gao Yuan not only had to think about the arrangement of staying in Daijun, but also had to think of several plans that could defeat the Yan army as much as possible, which really made Gao Yuan struggle with his brains. Of course, the best result is that Yan Guo does not send troops.

It's just that although the original hope is beautiful, but the reality is very ruthless, in mid-April, the plateau received the news sent by Sima Shang to Daijun, Yan sent an army of 200,000 to attack Daijun, the leader of the army will be Yan Prince Dan, the deputy will be Taifu Juwu, Shangqing Tian Guang and the original Qin general Fan Yuzhi.

Fan Yuzhi was originally a general of Qin, and was alongside Huan Qi, Wang Jian, and Mengwu, but later he launched a rebellion with Prince Chengjiao, and after the defeat, he fled to Yan for refuge, but his family members were killed by Qin Wangzheng. At that time, Prince Dan was recruiting talents and decided to take in Fan Yuzhi, but Taifu Juwu was worried that taking in Fan Yuzhi would be attacked by the Qin army, so Prince Dan had no choice but to place Fan Yuzhi in the territory of the Xiongnu. However, this time the Qin State asked the Yan State to send troops to attack the Dynasty, and Fan Yuzhi was open to the net, pretending not to know.

Knowing that the Yan State was still sending troops in the end, Gao Yuan also immediately ordered to collect 30,000 troops and prepare to meet the Yan army.
