The post-war reconstruction work in the surrounding areas of Luoyang and even the entire Yin area of ​​Henan is by no means a matter of one day or one night.

In particular, Li Su had the idea of ​​building a new city, selecting a site, inspecting, organizing immigrants to resume production, and providing government-encouraging subsidies to extremely poor immigrants... All kinds of preliminary preparations must have been extremely busy.

Fortunately, after the original population in Yinhe, Henan Province was small, it was easy to paint a piece of white paper, and could directly and unhinderedly carry out the underlying planning without considering confrontation with the vested interest class.

This feeling is a bit like the later generations when planning Xiongan New Area, and the constraints and resistance are much smaller than the "demolition of the old city".

After Li Su took office, he spent five or six days to investigate and thoroughly clarify the latest household registration situation. He himself ensured that every county in Henan Yin was here.

As for Zhuge Liang, who was about to serve as the Henan Yin, there are no other major political leaders at present, Li Su's temporary requirements for this proud disciple have been higher, requiring Zhuge Liang to come to every township in the county.

However, there is no need to hurry up. It is okay to visit it within half a month. It can be regarded as a supplement and experience of Zhuge Liang's daily civil and financial shortcomings.

This is also a test of Zhuge Liang's ability to govern. Zhuge Liang has been an official for more than four years. Before that, the positions of Lingtai Ling and Taishi Guan were all technical and academic bureaucrats of the central government.

His only local official resume was that he started directly as the prefect of Hedong. He was at the county level and had never been exposed to grassroots civil affairs in the county. He was too unearthable.

Moreover, during Zhuge Liang's tenure as the prefect of Hedong, his internal affairs were mainly focused on raising military supplies. He did not need to do local construction and restore production. Such a resume was undoubtedly a bit abnormal, which was not conducive to his future growth into a comprehensive prime minister.

Since Li Su has encouraged Zhuge Liang to grow and has saved Zhuge Liang ten years of natural training and growth, he has the responsibility to help Zhuge Liang make up for his shortcomings.

There is still half a month left, and after the New Year, Zhuge Liang will be twenty years old.

Such young people are a little tired. As long as they keep up with nutrition and exercise, their energy can be recovered quickly and will not damage their health. Li Su also pays great attention to the rhythm, and the indicators he sets will not cause overwork.

...

In addition to Zhuge Liang, the Henan Yin, who is about to take office (Zhuge Liang is now the Minister of the Ministry of War, responsible for coordinating the expansion of the new army this year, and will not be transferred to Henan Yin after the first month of next year), Li Su also used the power of Sikong and Sili's lieutenant to appoint prefects in Hedong, Hanoi and other surrounding areas to be in charge of the survey and investigation work in the above-mentioned areas.

After Li Su's careful consideration, after Zhuge Liang left Hedong, the vacancy of the Hedong prefect was Zhao Lei, a logistics civil servant under Guan Yu, and Wang Fu was the chief secretary—

These two people have always been following Guan Yu. Two years ago, Guan Yu first attacked Luoyang and was defeated by Yuan Shao's camp, and they also followed Guan Yu to escape with hardships.

Zhao Lei's official qualifications were older than Wang Fu, so there was no problem in becoming the prefect of Hedong. In history, Zhao Lei followed Guan Yu and followed Maicheng and was also captured by Pan Zhang. Wang Fu lived until the Battle of Yiling and was killed when he followed Liu Bei to the battle.

Considering that Guan Yu would continue to take charge of the Hebei War Zone in the future, Li Su gave Guan Yu face and let his old civil servant become the prefect of Hedong, which facilitated Guan Yu's logistical needs, and he was also considerate.

After all, when Guan Yu uses troops against Lu Bu next year, the Hedong region will also play the role of attacking positions and logistics bases. Military resources must not be damaged, and people who know the truth must be used to know Guan Yu.

Li Su thought about it for the position of Hanoi Prefect. Considering that the Hanoi region will be mainly rebuilt after the war next year, it will not have to serve as a logistics base for offensives, so it is better to find a local Sili with older experience.

After all the selections, Li Su chose a local Dongzhou Shili, Sili, where the Chang'an court fled to Liu Bei, and was transferred to Hanoi to serve in a position in a foreign county.

Li Su finally chose the Sijian, who had no sense of existence before. This person was a Sili native who chose the opportunity to join Liu Bei after the Li Guo Rebellion in Chang'an, five years ago. He was 32 years old and now 37 years old.

Before he came to join the imperial court, his old position in the Chang'an court was just the Huangmen Minister, who was the same as Zhong Yao, who was 40 years old at the time. However, Zhong Yao had a good fate. His Huangmen Minister received the imperial edict from Wang Yun of Dai and named Liu Bei as "King of Quanshou Hanzhong". Then when the imperial edict was sent, Wang Yun was killed by Li Jue. Zhong Yao could not go back, but he became a prosperous person in Liu Bei and now he is a Situ.

After Sho Jian surrendered to Liu, Liu Bei appointed him as the prefect in Wudu on the eve of the Northern Expedition to Guanzhong, and became the prefect in Yinping. Later, he was not promoted much, and at most he was transferred to Tianshui and Longxi.

After all, I have accumulated four years of prefecture qualifications. I can transfer from a poor and remote mountainous county to a Fubi County around the capital, which can be slightly upgraded to half a level.

When Li Su chose him, he didn't think he was very talented. He just thought that Shooting and Shooting Brothers were originally a long-standing family in Sili, with a good reputation and suitable for appeasement and long-term battles of the people.

After Shooting Jian left, Tianshui's prefect could continue to serve as his younger brother Shooting Yuan. Four years ago Shooting Yuan was only 27 years old, and he lacked his official qualifications, so he would definitely not be a local prefect, even in remote areas. Later, he followed his brother to become a county magistrate and chief minister, and gradually accumulated achievements in governance, and now he can be promoted.

In addition, with the brothers Shoojian Shoo, who joined the other Dongzhou scholars who entered Sichuan, such as Meng Da, who was a fellow villager in Fufeng, has accumulated enough qualifications this time and has promoted the prefect with Shoojian and become the prefect of Longxi.

Finally, there is actually another county under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice. However, because Luoyang was not restored, Hongnong guarded Hangu Pass and Tongguan, which was the throat gate between Chang'an and Luoyang, so in those years, it was temporarily under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou.

Luoyang was only revived a month and a half ago. Before Li Su became the Sili Captain, Liu Bei did not adjust the jurisdiction of Hongnong County. He has just arrived.

However, after Hongnong was transferred back to Sili, for the sake of security and checks and balances in Chang'an, Liu Bei transferred Huayin County and Tongguan in Hongnong County to the direct management of Jingzhao Yin.

In this way, the Chang'an area is in charge of Tongguan and the Luoyang area is in charge of Hangu Pass. No matter which accident occurs during the rule of the emperors in the future, it can ensure that the chaos between the two capitals will not spread.

When Hongnong County was under Yongzhou's jurisdiction, the prefect was an aide under Zhang Fei and Du Ji from Jingzhao. Since now he is just adjusting the territory, there is no need to make more troubles with personnel, so he continues to use it. It is nothing more than transferring it to Li Su's direct subordinates.

In addition, there is a Nanyang County in Jingzhou. Although it does not belong to Sili, it also borders Henan Yin where Luoyang is located, and it is Liu Xiu's imperial township.

Next year, we will focus on building the canal there. Li Su also hopes to rectify the land road between Nanyang and Luoyang, so we have focused on adjusting the prefect of Nanyang County.

He found the prefects of various counties in the Guanzhong area, hoping to choose a remote and poor county with good management talents, and then to the densely populated Nanyang. Finally, he chose Zhang Ji, who had just been promoted to the prefect of Anding County last year.

Zhang Ji was just a county magistrate just four years ago, but in history he was promoted by Zhong Yao for his "governing the three auxiliary counties".

In this life, Zhang Ji performed the best in the management of disasters during the severe drought and earthquake in Guanzhong in 194, and was promoted by Li Su to the chief of Anding County the following year. Later, in the process of establishing Yinchuan County for Ma Chao and recovering Hetao, Anding County had excellent military logistics work, so Zhang Ji gradually became the prefect.

From this point of view, this person is indeed good at scheduling local private resources. He does the same amount of things and can exploit the people as little as possible. It is also a matter of the people to move to Nanyang County, where major projects will be fully started next year.

Zhuge Liang, Zhao Lei, She Jian, Du Ji and Zhang Ji arranged the four counties of Sili and Nanyang clearly. Li Su was in charge of the center, and there were capable people in the circle of counties next to him.

...

After roughly organizing the personnel work for local governance, the current civil affairs situation in each county was roughly counted in the following days.

The situation is indeed not very optimistic. After many wars and displaced in Yin, Henan, the total population is only 56,000 households and more than 267,000 people.

What's even worse is that Hanoi County, which has just been revived this year, has only 32,000 households and 184,000 people left.

The other Hedong County was also considered a war zone. When Zhang Liao invaded the year before yesterday, it fell below 200,000 due to war damage. However, in the more than a year when Zhuge Liang became the prefect of Hedong, although he had to coordinate and raise military supplies for the front-line army, the population still increased instead of falling, and recovered to more than 200,000. This year's latest census was 225,000.

From this point, we can also see that Zhuge Liang has indeed had a trick in managing the local area. At least he can implement the rule of law, prevent the powerful from oppressing the poor and restoring productivity.

Hongnong County has never been destroyed by war, but the Wuhan Mountain area has only a few fields and has been stable at 150,000 people.

The last Nanyang County was tug-of-war by Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu, the remnants of Nanyang Yellow Turbans before 196, but was taken back by Liu Bei after 196. In the past two years, it has not been destroyed by the troubled times. It was only Li Su recruited troops and recruited civilians many times. To this day, there is still nearly 800,000 people left.

After this chaotic era, Nanyang County was still in a state of too many people and few lands, and there were still many poor farmers and tenants with no land. It can be seen that Nanyang's population was very perverted in the early years.

The above data may not be of any concept, but if you compare them with the Huan Ling period, you will know the difference-

Before the chaos in Huanling, Nanyang County and Henan Yin, where the capital was located, were both super densely populated areas, with more than 2 million people. Henan Yin is now less than half as high as when it fell to its peak, while Nanyang still has one-third of the size left at its peak.

There were more than 800,000 people in peacetime before the Hanoi War, more than 600,000 people in Hedong, and nearly 200,000 people in Hongnong peacetime. Now it has fallen to 200, 30% and 70% of those in peacetime.

Therefore, there has been a slight situation in Hedong area where there are few people and many fields, and no one is growing in the fields.

Fortunately, Guan Yu was stationed there, and Guan Yu also realized that it was not good to let the troops idle during the stalemate period. So at the beginning of last year, when Zhuge Liang was the prefect of Hedong, he took turns to divide some of the soldiers and military garrisons to reduce the pressure on transporting grain in the rear.

As a result, the extra fields that were not planted in Hedong were temporarily digested by the military camp.

Yin and Hanoi, Henan are now typical cases of urgent needing immigrants to plant barren and vacant fields. Nanyang has been able to export more than 100,000 surplus labor to the outside world so far.

In the new year, Li Su must take the exam for the issue of immigration rectification. After all, there are still many people and land behind Liu Bei's camp, which has been peaceful for almost ten years.

The most typical example is the three counties of the Chengdu Plain that have been in the long-term stability and long-term stability, and now the industry and commerce are highly developed. Even after the split of Yizhou Dianzhou, Gaba County of Yizhou still has a population of more than five million.

The fields in Chengdu and Jiangzhou will definitely not need five million people without a new generation of intensive farming and production methods to increase labor density. Shu County and Jianwei County have been absorbing the excess agricultural population through industry and commerce over the years.

Some people may wonder: When Li Su was the governor of Yizhou a few years ago, and even when he helped Guan Yu pacify Liang, he claimed to have immigrated at least 200,000 foreign countries every year?

At the beginning, I immigrated to the vicinity of Chencang to enrich the damaged Guanzhong. In the following years, I mainly immigrated to Tianshui, Longxi and even Jincheng County. The immigration to foreign countries lasted for four years, so why are there more than 5 million people?

There is no way, because the more than 5 million people in the Tianfu Country, with enough food and clothing, and industry and commerce, the people are living too comfortable, so the annual population growth rate exceeds 200,000. In a peaceful and comfortable state, the population will naturally grow by one-twentieth, which is 5%, which is not an exaggeration, right?

If Li Su hadn't insisted on letting Zhuge Jin organize the transfer a few years ago, Chengdu would soon have a population explosion again.

Now that Luoyang and Hanoi are so destructive, Li Su has to consider letting Zhuge Jin continue to organize the people to immigrate to Sili by water and occupy the deserted fields.

It is best to organize it recently, do it during the Chinese New Year, and then strive to enter the land reclamation and production when spring plowing is in February next year--

In fact, there is no question of "reclamation of land", because the fields around Yin, Henan are basically all mature land. At most, they have not been overgrown with weeds for two or three years, but there are no hard bones such as trees and rocks that are troublesome when refining land.

Before spring, while it is dry in winter, set fire to wasteland in advance to process the weeds, and then plough the ground and destroy the weeds deeper below the ground, so that you can happily farm.

Fortunately, the preparations for immigration do not take too long, because Zhuge Jin has formed a working habit over the years and knows that he will definitely organize at least 200,000 immigration to the outside world every year to alleviate the population pressure in Chengdu.

But where to move every year, we have to wait for Li Su's specific strategic plan. If you come to Luoyang this year, it will be more convenient than continuing to immigrate to Longxi and Jincheng.

You cannot go to Longxi and Jincheng all the way. You need to cross the Qinling Mountains when you cross the remnants of the Qinling Mountains, so you have to use a large amount of amphibious caravans, a standard means of transportation for the colonial pioneers of Western Regions.

If you come to Heluo, although the distance has become longer, you don’t have to take the steep mountain road.

The population to immigrate to the Chengdu Plain and Jiangzhou should go down the Yangtze River directly, and then go to Jiangling and then turn to the Han River. The Qingshui River will reach north of Wancheng, and then take Luyang land to enter Henan Yin.

If you organize the immigrants of the terrestrial sluts in Hanzhong, you can directly flow down the Han River through the upper and lower waters, directly transferring the water to Wancheng, saving the section of the Yangtze River.

The two waterways of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and the Shangyong Han River were no longer difficult to navigate under the control of Li Su for many years. They were just necessary sections of rivers with large gaps. They just rely on local farming and used fiber-pulling corvee instead to rent and dispatch boats, and dragged the boats over. Several years ago, Guoyuan arranged these things properly.

Considering that the scale of immigration this year may be higher than in previous years, Zhuge Jin's workload and organizational difficulty will be greater, Li Su even considered giving Liu Bei a stamp, suggesting that Zhuge Jin and Sun Gan's positions be transferred and rotated, and also accumulating more diverse work qualifications for both parties.

Zhuge Jin was appointed as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to manage the relevant immigration organization work and assist Li Su in rebuilding the new capital. Sun Gan, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, went back to serve as the governor of Yizhou for several years.
