After the showdown, Luoyang lost the confidence to continue fighting.

Zhang Han's 100,000 troops, plus Wang Buxu's 50,000 elite troops, I don't know how many more people are behind.

Although there is no siege now, what will happen even if we escape?

The city has been lost and the governor is dead, what will be the fate of these people?

Still following the old routine, the Xingyang defenders laid down their weapons and surrendered out of the city, leaving Zhang Han in charge of receiving and guarding these surrendered troops.

Wang Buxu, on the other hand, directly led an army of 50,000 to Luoyang City.

As the companion capital, Luoyang has a royal palace.

It's just that because the emperor has not been here for many years, the palace seems a little lonely, and the people responsible for guarding and cleaning are not doing their duty as well.

In this matter, Wang Buxu seemed to have discovered the origin of certain characteristics of later generations.

When the emperor comes, he will often notify him in advance, and then mobilize a large number of manpower to clean the house inside and outside within a day or two. In this way, everyone is happy.

Zhang Liang became busy.

This has become a habit of Wang Buxu's army. Every time a city is captured, the first thing the literati do is to collect information left by the government, especially information on population, taxation, cultivated land, etc.

This will save them a lot of time in the future.

In other words, the time saved is precious time for them to prepare for war and defeat the princes of the world.

"Go and send a message outside, asking them to come see me!" Sitting in the Luoyang Palace, Wang Buxu ordered with some emotion.

Who could have imagined that one day, he would be sitting here?

"Who?" Zhang Buyi was suddenly stunned. He was still thinking about who killed Yan Le? The timing was perfect.

"The people who killed Yan Le!" Wang Buhung thought for a while and decided not to identify them for the time being.

"Then I will say that killing Yan Le is a meritorious service and ask him to come and receive the reward?"

"Yeah!" Wang Buxuan nodded.

For this group of people, Wang Buxiu was very moved.

In fact, letting them go that day was not without the idea of ​​planting good karma, and now that I have a status, I need more people like this around me.

It's not that Zhang Buyi is not good, but because Zhang Buyi has no opponents, he will easily relax after a long time.

"Master, it's time to establish a country now, right?" As soon as Zhang Buyi left, Zhang Liang led several of his followers, holding a lot of bamboo slips in his arms, and said with a smile.

"What's the gain?" Wang Buxu glanced at it and asked.

"There are 52,839 registered households in Luoyang, with a population of 317,344. In addition to Luoyang, Sanchuan County has 276,444 households with a population of 170.

Forty thousand two hundred and seventy-nine." Zhang Liang reported a set of data with a smile.

This is the advantage of capturing Luoyang. It is not only a big city, but also the county seat of Sanchuan County.

At the Sheriff's Mansion, he can get all the data on the entire Sanchuan County.

"It is only a matter of time to capture the entire Sanchuan County and Yingchuan County. No later than the beginning of the year, the Young Master can send troops to capture the three counties of Hedong, Hanoi and Dongjun. By then, the Young Master will rule over one million households and four to five million people."

..." Zhang Liang still had a smile on his face.

Previously, the reason why Wang Buxing vetoed the establishment of a country was that he only had one city of Xingyang, and the city was small and there were few people, so the establishment of a country was not enough to convince the people.

So this time, Zhang Liang directly showed his trump card first.

Not to mention other things, Sanchuan County alone has a population of two million, which is enough for the king to establish a country without hunger.

Although these data deviate from reality, there is nothing wrong with them as a reference.

Wang Buxu clicked his tongue, feeling a little unbelievable.

That’s more than one million households? Four to five million people?

No wonder the ancients often said that those in the Central Plains will win the world. Under these conditions, as long as you are not a fool, it is impossible to play the game.

During this period, the total population of the entire Qin Dynasty was approximately between 25 million and 30 million, and the population of the Central Plains alone accounted for one-fifth or one-sixth of the entire empire.

More people means the land is fertile and there is food to eat.

"Then let's prepare first, and let Chen Ping come back for detailed discussions after he regains Yingchuan County." Wang Buxu nodded.

It was impossible not to establish a country. There were a group of rebels around him, some earlier than him and some later, but none of them was stronger than him.

This person is king over that, and even if the king is not hungry and doesn't feel anything wrong, the hundreds of thousands of brothers who follow him will feel very uncomfortable in their hearts.

Make it seem like everyone else except yourself is orthodox.

"Sir, the recovery of Yingchuan County can be postponed, and there is no need to rush the recovery of Sanchuan County. The founding of the country must be given top priority now. Other things can be completed step by step after the founding of the country." Zhang Liang

suggested.

"Why?" Wang Buxian was a little confused.

Does the founding of a country mean that it is established immediately?

First of all, why don't you prepare something?

Have you compiled the list of soldiers who need to be canonized?

Don’t we need to discuss the policy policies of various places?

What about the selection of county governors and magistrates in various places?

It is true that no one has done this before, but the end is not that miserable. The reason why Wang Buxian postponed the founding of the country is simply because of talent. High-level talents are too scarce.

Whether they were civil servants or military generals, otherwise, why would Wang Buxu bring 50,000 people here in person?

Isn’t there still no one available?

Anyone who was of any use was sent out to work.

"If the name is not right and the words are not right, as long as the country is established, with the strength that the young master has shown this year, the world's heroes will naturally come to join him!" Zhang Liang said with a smile.

"..." Wang Buxu had a black streak on his head.

He understood what Zhang Liang meant.

Probably you, Wang Buxuan, are very good and can fight well, but before you defeat Zhang Han, some people will not come to join you.

Others are waiting for you to become king. You are not even a king, so why should we take refuge in you?

Wouldn't it be better to join Chen Sheng, work as a part-time official, gain some real power, lead troops on expeditions, and at the same time become a self-proclaimed king?

If we don’t plan for a great future, how about you being a county magistrate? Or a school captain?

The problem is that you can't give these newcomers directly to the captain.

This is true if you think about it carefully.

When Zhang Liang came, he was in a state of decline. He originally wanted to join Jing Ju, but he heard that he was tougher and better at fighting, and he was also an old Korean, so he turned around and joined Jing Ju.

Chen Ping had an unsatisfactory life with Wei Wang Jiu, and his reputation had spread, so Chen Ping, who was determined to cause trouble, came.

Guan Ying was a blind cat who bumped into a dead mouse, and he worked his way up from the grassroots level step by step.

Peng Yue is also a blind cat who hit a dead mouse. He was deceived by rumors.

Apart from these four people, none of the other famous historical generals and celebrities came to seek refuge.

Sure enough, wall grass was really a species that was not in short supply in that era.

Thinking of this, Wang Buxu waved his hand: "Recruit Chen Ping to come back and discuss the founding of the country!" The population number refers to the geography of "Hanshu", which is about 300 BC, nine years after the plot in the book.

For more than ten years, the actual number of people may be less than the plot timeline, but there is no other channel to check this kind of data. If I try to reduce it one by one, I will be confused, so don't take it seriously.

Just treat this as the data I have reduced. In addition, regarding the population of Luoyang, the Han Dynasty only records the number of households but not the population. The data of 317,344 is based on the ratio of six people per household.

It is calculated because the household registration ratio of Sanchuan County is 1:6.29, the household registration ratio of Dong County is 1:4.13, Hanoi County is 1:6.66, Yingchuan County is 1:5.11, Hedong County is 1:4.06, and Nanyang County is

1:5.4. I say all this just to tell you that the data of six people per household in Luoyang is not something I came up with just by scratching my head, but after calculating so many data and referring to the surrounding environment and the ratio of household registrations, it cannot be achieved in Luoyang.
