After patting his head, Li Shushi and Ju Shu next to him looked at each other, with helpless expressions in their eyes.
The liquidation work in Henan and Nanyang counties has basically come to an end, which can be considered as a thought.
Cheng Yu was personally responsible for this matter, and Li Shushi was very worried about leaving it to the subordinate officials. After all, those people couldn't figure out Li Shushi's bottom line on this matter. When doing things, they would inevitably have some differences based on their own ideas -
Li Shushi felt distressed if he stayed too much, but worried about causing unnecessary resentment if he stayed too little, so he needed someone close to him to take charge.
What's more, in order to make things perfect, Li Shushi also recruited the people who stayed in Henan and gave them double wages, allowing them to renovate the originally dilapidated palaces or simply build several palaces based on the ruins.
between.
This can be regarded as a "gift" to Liu Xie. Even if Liu Xie will not come back here for a long time, Li Shushi has to spend this money for the sake of appearance. After all, he has taken over Luoyang.
Later, although production was restored after these years, only the area where the royal palace was located was not allowed to be entered by the people at will, but no one was sent to tidy it up.
After all, even if those palaces were rebuilt, he would not be able to choose to move in, so it would be better not to waste money carelessly.
At least in these matters, Li Shushi still behaves quite stingy.
Unfortunately, even with double the wages, the progress of the construction period is still unsatisfactory.
This is not because the workers are not enthusiastic enough. In fact, twice the wages are enough to ensure that even in the depth of winter, the construction site will be a bustling scene. However, this year's colder weather than in previous years makes the construction more difficult.
After all, even in a modern society with a large number of construction machinery, construction in winter is the most difficult.
Another reason is that there are not enough young laborers in Henan and even Nanyang.
Let’s not mention Nanyang for the time being. It is already unbearable to look at. Even if there are still some powerful families left, many of them support Liu Biao in the south more than the princes of the Central Plains. And the strength is not weak, such as the one who was returned to Zhao by Li Shushi intact.
The Wen family to which Wen Pin and Wen Zhongye belonged had extremely good fighting power. Li Shushi was really eager to leave these families to Cao Cao, the black-skinned dwarf who had a black heart and a black heart. Let's see how he would handle these things.
Bomb guy.
On the contrary, the situation in Henan, where Luoyang is located, is very complicated.
To put it bluntly, it is because the population structure there is too complex.
Before Liu Xie issued that tentative edict, the population of the entire Henan County had made great strides to recover to a considerable size. Although it probably could not reach the scale of over one million households in its glory days, according to the results of this inventory,
, the population has not only passed the million mark. Even the threshold of two million does not seem to be an insurmountable barrier.
This is really an extremely surprising result.
But if you think about it carefully, it's not completely unacceptable.
The source of the population of Henan County can be roughly divided into three parts - the people who were brought to Xiliang by Dong Zhuo and returned to Henan County, the people who fled or migrated from the Central Plains area, and the people who migrated from Nanyang.
In addition, there are some powerful families who moved from Bingshuo and some foreign people with a strong Chinese culture. However, these people are either the management family members who hold official positions in the local area, or the businessmen and their subordinates who travel back and forth. They are related to Henan County.
Compared with the millions of people, it is just a drop in the ocean. But because these people either have power or control the flow of materials and money, their importance is actually slightly higher than that of ordinary people.
Among the three groups of people mentioned above, those who are most likely to accept relocation are those people who come from far away from the Central Plains area - these people originally envied the peaceful life under Li Shushi's rule. There were frequent troubles around them, so they had to choose
uprooted
Life, especially for the people from Runan Yingchuan and other places, who had been squeezed by Yuan Shu, felt that their life under Li Shushi's rule was now very good, and this also made them suspicious of Cao Cao or even the Han who might get here.
Emperor Liu Xie didn't trust him.
For these people, since they have already moved once, moving again is not a big problem. They will be well settled in the new place anyway, and the officials also promised them that unless the Bingzhou Army collapses
.Otherwise, there will be no similar large-scale relocation activities in the future, and everyone can run their own small lives with peace of mind.
Through the efforts of Cheng Yu and Jia Xu, these people basically understood that if it were not for the imperial decree, the Bingzhou Army had no intention of moving them. It can be said that such a move was entirely caused by jealousy. The emperor ordered Li Shushi to move out.
Disobey.
Regardless of whether such publicity is good or bad, at least it has no negative impact on Li Shushi.
Unless someone maliciously pulls this off.
As for the remaining common people, they are either unable to leave their hometown, or they are forced to move here due to the tug-of-war between the Bingzhou Army and the Jingzhou Army. They do not have much favorable impressions of the Bingzhou Army, so the relocation is very difficult, and even
It also caused some
If Cheng Yu, a guy who actually has the ability to become a general and a prime minister, wasn't here, Zhong Yao might not be able to cope with the rebound. Qu Yi's energy is no longer south of the Yellow River, and Sizhou's main force is the same.
He was transferred to the north of the Yellow River.
Even though the Bingzhou Army has enough experience in relocating hundreds of thousands of people, the amount of food and grass required is still a huge amount. If they hadn't saved a lot of money in the past few years, I'm afraid it might not be possible.
Affordable.
However, with the expansion of these populations, Guanzhong and even Xiliang as a whole should be able to achieve better development.
Perhaps those water conservancy facilities that have become somewhat clogged and abandoned also need to be tidied up.
By the way, during the great population migration, the several rebellious counties and related personnel in Hongnong were also cleaned up. The Yang family in Hongnong lacked a strong leader, and another one had considerable influence and was related to Xiliang.
Even though Zhang Zhi, the family member of the Hongnong Zhang family, had already shown an extremely deferential attitude towards the Bingzhou Army, Li Shushi showed no mercy this time either.
The places vacated by the rebel families can just be used to resettle some people who moved from Henan.
Especially the Mianshui barbarians who moved out from Nanyang and trusted Gan Ning took the opportunity to relocate in a wide area from Hongnong Luhun to Jingzhaoshang County. In addition, some Qingzhuang were merged into Bingzhou
If the army is stationed elsewhere, even if the powerful commanders of the Mianshui tribe want to do something, the Mianshui tribes who gradually mix with the Han people will eventually lose their original cohesion.
Originally, these problems were enough to give Li Shushi a headache, but God seemed not to let him go.
"This winter seems to be much colder than previous years."
"Moreover, many places have reported heavy snowfall that has rarely been seen in previous years. Although every few years I feel that the winter seems to have gotten a lot colder, but it is so obvious like this year. It is the first time, but I didn't know that the weather would be like this.
Is it a blessing or a curse?"
"It's a blessing, not a curse. You can't avoid it. However, with this heavy snow, no matter whether it is the battlefield in the north or the south, it will be impossible to fight. Fortunately, Uncle Zhang Zhi acted quickly and solved it in advance with the help of Zhongde and Zi Jing.
Hongnong's problem, otherwise if Hongnong also receives as heavy snow as Weijun, Yanmen, and Daijun, the trouble will be big~"
"Uncle Zhang Zhi acted quickly. It's better to say God bless him. Otherwise, the road surrounded by Hongnong mountains would be rugged. As long as the snow was heavier, it would be difficult for so many people to enter Guanzhong quickly, even if they wanted to continue walking.
At that time, I don’t know how many people who originally trusted us would encounter unexpected events.”
"Yes, if something like that really happens, I'm afraid there will be no difference between me and Dong Zhongying."
"My lord, there is no need to belittle yourself. Even if such a misfortune does happen, my lord will win the hearts of the people far more than Dong Zhongying."
"Haha, it's a pity that Wei County and the eastern part of Hanoi have now turned into a snowfield. It is impossible to use troops at all. It does give those rebellious people a chance to breathe, and it also allows those with evil intentions to see more hope."
"My lord, don't worry too much about this. Those people launched a rebellion in the name of dedicating land to the imperial court. How will they deal with themselves in the end? Will they really accept orders from Xuchang? By that time, their rhetoric will
Then they will be completely exposed. And those people who were deceived by them and blindly followed them will wake up and change their banners."
"Speaking of Wei County, Shen Zhengnan has worked very hard in the past few years, with a salary of a thousand dan and a job of two thousand dan. It can be said that if Wei Jun did not have his support, I am afraid that those powerful families would have betrayed me and defected to me.
Go to Yuan Shao."
"But Shen Zhengnan was born in Wei County after all, and he has very close ties with the families in Wei County. Although based on my understanding of Zhengnan, he should not be the kind of disloyal person who would betray someone after choosing someone to be loyal to.
He is a human being, but he must also be wary of the possibility of coercion or coercion by powerful men who are becoming more and more restless."
"That's right. Shen Zhengnan has given me enough loyalty through so many years of hard work. I must give him something in return. Otherwise, it will chill his heart and make him make a last resort choice. This will be detrimental to him.
I all have a sad ending. So in response
, after being the county magistrate for so long, it is time for him to serve as the governor of one side. As for Uncle Ma Weng, I don’t want him to stay in office for too long. After so many years, some people should be allowed to move around, otherwise
It is easy to hook up with the township party, but the tail is too big to lose."
"Then where does the lord plan to send Shen Zhengnan?"
"Fan Chou has proven that it is more suitable for him to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy than to be a prefect. Although Xu Ji of Jiuquan is an upright man, he is not capable enough to hold the post of prefect. It is not suitable for him to serve in Jiuquan.
It is just a temporary measure, and it should be changed now. Dunhuang Huaxiong is no longer suitable.
He will jointly serve as the governor of Dunhuang County, and the war is imminent, so I also need to transfer him back. Similarly, Shangjun, who has no big enemies around, does not need to open his jaw to continue guarding, and can consider transferring him back. In addition, I also plan to serve in Yi
I have established a new county and placed it under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou for the time being. I may establish a new state in the future."
"My lord, you have so many ideas, but Wei County is a large county and the situation in the county is complicated. If it were the above-mentioned counties, it might be difficult to fully utilize Shen Zhengnan's abilities, leaving him with a sense of restraint that he cannot use."
"I know Zhengnan's loyalty to me very well. However, Zhengnan allows the powerful people in the county to grow, so that once they leave Wei County, a large-scale rebellion may break out. This is also a problem that cannot be ignored. Zhengnan
The reason for doing this is that I am afraid that his sincerity still does not belong to me. He is not willing to take on some things for me that may be contrary to his identity."
"This is inevitable, after all, they have been treated that way. After all, not everyone is 'brainwashed' by you like Zhongde."
"So I won't give him any extra rewards. I think this approach is actually acceptable to Zhengnan."
"Don't you plan to give Zhengnan a surprise?"
"But according to the information I know, this approach will not make Zhengnan feel too much joy. Perhaps it will make him more surprised. It may even make him panic. He is just like you.
She is a smart person, but the difference between her and you is that she has always been outside this circle, so I am worried that a smart person will waste too much time on this kind of thing. Of course, this is still a better result.
It would be really bad if my thoughts went astray."
"It seems that Professor may be very lucky."
"No, on the contrary. This should be my luck, because with your ability, I can get a high enough status and enough respect anywhere, but I would never be able to get there without your help.
today’s level.”
"In that case, I have some ideas. I wonder if my lord would be interested in hearing them?"
"But it doesn't matter, Gongyu's opinions are worth listening to."
"Because of the lord's indulgence (look at Li Shushi), Wei County can be said to be one of the places least affected by Bingzhou, and the power of powerful families here is extremely strong. It has even reached the point where a large amount of land in the county has been annexed. Therefore,
For the Lord, Wei County may have become a hot potato, and for Cao Mengde, it is no less a huge trouble than Yanzhou, but for Yuan Benchu, it is an excellent supplement."
"In fact, Yuan Benchu never lacked efforts in Wei County, even Mikawa and Hongnong in Kinki."
"It is precisely because of this that the significance of Wei County to Yuan Shao will be greater. Because the value here does not lie in the land or population, but in the people's hearts, which Yuan Shao cannot abandon. If Yuan Shao ignores those who rebelled because of his instigation
families, then the only possible outcome for these families is to be annihilated by our army.
My lord, you should still remember how you made the powerful families in Bingzhou and Lianghe bow their heads and surrender to you."
"I was originally dissatisfied with me, and was later instigated by the princes of Guandong. However, when a large-scale rebellion broke out in Hedong, the Kwantung Allied Forces were unable to provide timely rescue. As a result, the power of the powerful Hedong family was severely damaged. It is precisely because of this
It was only after the First World War that those families saw the situation clearly and realized that without foreign aid, they had no way to compete with the Bingzhou Army. Only with such confidence did we have the space to use various methods. Well,
I understand what Gong Yu means."
"The families in Wei County are inextricably linked to the Jizhou native faction under Yuan Shao, so their meaning to Yuan Shao is slightly different from the Bingzhou and Lianghe families. If Yuan Shao abandons these families, then there will definitely be
It has greatly shaken the confidence of Yuan Shao in the local Jizhou faction under Yuan Shao's command, and without the support of these people, Yuan Shao's power will be greatly weakened."
"I already know the reason why Yuan Shao must send troops, but if we let the other party make stable arrangements and plan the overall situation, it will not be of any benefit to us. It is precisely because of such considerations that we have to implement a preemptive strike plan."
"At that time, there was no heavy snow to block the road, so we had to sit back and watch the situation in Wei County deteriorate day by day, but it also caused the northern battlefield to cease, so Yuan Shao had enough time to rescue the rebels in Wei County, but
It is difficult to contact the North.
Yuan Shao has been running Hebei for a long time. Except for Wei County, Zhao State, Changshan, Qinghe, and Julu all have high walls and deep fortifications, like iron barrels. Even though our army is stronger, it is still confined among the large and small fortresses densely scattered in Jizhou.
, in the face of powerful families who have evil intentions towards us, even if we can achieve a temporary victory, the consumption and price paid will undoubtedly be extremely huge."
"Yes! Now that the road is blocked by heavy snow, we can lure out part of Yuan Shao's strength, and then give him a head-on blow. This will not only eliminate his effective strength, but also greatly dampen the morale of Yuan Shao's army and the Jizhou family. It will inevitably happen later.
No matter how much Cao Mengde wants to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold back. At that time, whether to continue to deal with Yuan Shao, or to concentrate on dealing with those barbarians in the north who have suffered heavy losses due to the heavy snow this winter, all the initiative lies with us.
In hand.
Humph! I don’t believe that even though the weather is unpredictable, the geographical difference between the north and the south will cause the snow in the north to melt first!”
Of course, the above are just preliminary ideas. How feasible such an idea is and whether it can achieve the expected goal is obviously impossible for Li Shushi to make a decision based only on Jushou's words.
However, from a personal point of view, Li Shushi still admires Jushou's plan. Because he has experienced enough wars, he still remembers when he commanded the Yellow Turban Army and faced the Li family headed by Li Dian in Shanyang County.
There was fierce resistance from the local powerful, and the reason why those families were able to withstand the attack led by Li Shushi relied on the various large and small forts, as well as the mutual support between the forts.
He will never forget that when he was in Hanyang, he personally participated in the training of those powerful private soldiers. He knew very well what level of combat effectiveness those powerful private soldiers could reach as long as there were people who were good at training or standardized training methods. Perhaps the Central Plains
The people in the area really can't compare with Xiliang, a place where bravery is common, but the men of Yanzhao have never given up on their courage.
It may not be difficult to bulldoze one fort, but ten, twenty, thirty... the cost will only continue to increase, and morale will not decrease due to victory. Especially when the number of people stationed in these forts is only
Just some powerful private soldiers, not counting the main force of Yuan Shao's army who was watching from the side.
If you think about it carefully, isn't this the method used by Li Shushi to resist the aliens when he was running the north - increasing the cost of the aliens' southward raids, slowing down the opponent's ability to move like the wind, so as to either make the aliens on the northern grasslands aware of the situation?
Retreat if it is difficult, or delay the time to prepare for the army to move north to clear up the enemy.
Yuan Shao used the shield made by Li Shushi to fight against Li Shushi's sharp spear. Li Shushi did not want to be the contradictory Chu man in "Han Feizi", let alone the guy who was beaten to death and watched from the sidelines.
Got a bargain.
Speaking of which, Li Shushi gave Luoyang to Cao Cao, the emperor of the Han Dynasty and the actual commander of the army in the name of the emperor. Now he used Wei County as a bait and threw it to Yuan Shao, but he didn't know about the earth-shattering Guandu Battle in another dimension of history.
Will there be another war?
Speaking of which, because of the appearance of his butterfly, both Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were much weaker than in the history of another plane - Yuan Shao mainly suffered losses in territory, including the Bingshuo area, Hanoi and Wei County combined.
However, the area and population are not small. In addition, if it were not for the recent acquisition of many war horses from the Xianbei and Wuwan people, Yuan Shaojun's cavalry unit, which had been lacking a stable source of war horses in the early stage, would still have the old foundation left by Huangfu Song when he was running the northwest.
.
As for Cao Cao, the loss of territory is secondary. The most important thing is the loss of various talents that will definitely make Cao Cao cry without tears. The only thing that can comfort him is that Lu Bu is no longer the biggest troublemaker in the Central Plains.
After the appearance of Sun Ce, Cao Cao was a little more calm about the management of his rule than before, although the addition of Sun Ce, a less powerful guy, also gave Cao Cao a splitting headache.
It is also interesting to say that in the history of another dimension, the Battle of Guandu broke out in the fifth year of Jian'an, that is, in 200 AD. However, because Li Shushi, the increasingly fat butterfly, fanned the battle two years earlier.
Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was released from Chang'an, so the era name of Xingping was no longer in the history of this plane, but it directly entered the first year of Jian'an from the fourth year of Chuping.
This also means that when next year comes, it will also enter the fifth year of Jian'an, a year with a special meaning. The war to determine the ownership of the Central Plains will indeed begin next year under the plan of the Bingzhou Army.
.
Could this be a prank from God?
Or is it just a funny coincidence?
Such meaningless conjectures will eventually just be Li Shushi's random thoughts when he is bored.
If I say it out loud, will it be regarded as random thoughts?
Li Shushi's thoughts once again habitually flew to unknown places.
Pan Sen: The author of "Blossoms in America" used a vest to open a book called "Tokyo Gentleman Story". The content is still very interesting, and this time the author actually spent a lot of money to hire an artist to do the vertical painting. He is really the conscience of the industry... (
