4. War Potential and War Power

Li Shushi didn't know what impact his proposal would have on the future candidates in this plane. It might become a curse for millions of candidates who were tortured, and it might become an auspicious sign that all students must visit before taking the exam.

However, one thing is certain, that is, Cheng Yu seems to have a few more gray hairs on his head.

Qiu Shanngle, who was highly respected by Cheng Yu, had been sitting there quietly, with a calm look, coupled with his wheat-skinned face, giving people a sun-like feeling, which made Li Shushi feel again

The frustration I experienced from Zhang Wen.

Because Cheng Yu's brain has been troubled by questions such as whether to take the exam and what questions to use if the exam is taken, the next report can only be conducted by Qiu Shanngle's friend alone. It's just that he is still young and it is his first time with Li Shushi.

Qiu Shanngle, who dealt with him, quickly learned about Mr. Li's "powerful ability" that left everyone speechless.

"Your name is Qiu Shanngle, and your pseudonym is Hongyin."

"Uh, yes, yes. Lord Prefect, do you have any questions?"

Before Qiu Xiaopenyou could focus on the manuscript, Li Shushi suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with what he wanted to report. Even though Qiu Shanngle was very calm, he was slightly stunned by Li Shushi's question.

"When Wang Mang, the traitor, was in chaos, he issued an edict that "there must not be two names in China." Although this person has passed away, his customs are still there. Everyone is ashamed of having two names. I don't know why you are different from others, but you are not afraid of what others say.

fear?"

"My ancestors didn't like Mang's chaotic government in the past, so he moved his family to this place to hide in the mountains, so he would not be able to follow Wang Mang's government."

Some people think that Wang Mang's mere fifteen years in power had a limited impact on the mighty Eastern Han Dynasty plus the Wei and Jin Dynasties. But in reality? There are many customs that once recognized by society, the inertia faced by those who want to modify them is huge.

.Unless the ruler deems it extremely necessary to make changes, forcing changes will only waste people and money.

It's like Wang Mang insists on changing the Xiongnu to surrender and the Shanyu to submit. That is interfering with the habits of the Huns. The Xiongnu are naturally quite dissatisfied. But removing the second name is different, because there was no similar custom originally, and now Wang Mang

Artificially created one, and turned this new custom into a status display

This is undoubtedly a symbol that the nobles who always like to use various means to flaunt themselves as different from ordinary people are willing to accept it. Unexpectedly, the Huns who had fought against Wang Mang's name change had no resistance at all to Wang Mang's decree to remove his second name.

Instead, "make it smoothly and get rid of the second name", which is called a smooth flow.

Of course, because Wang Mang has a bad reputation, there are also people who express their unwillingness to be complicit with him by refusing to implement all his policies, just like the Qiu Shanngle in front of him who doesn't care about his second name at all.

"Oh~ I see. Okay, Hongyin, please continue."

Fortunately, Qiu Shanngle didn't show any interest in finishing second, otherwise Li Shushi would have definitely "helped" him to change his name to Qiubi in a very malicious way. Which is better for horse monkey, shochu, or simply steamed bun card?

.

Li Shushi's interruption made Qiu Shanngle, who had prepared a lot of rhetoric, not know how to speak for a while. After all, although he was full of knowledge, he was still a minor under the age of twenty, and the tone of the person he usually interacted with was not the same.

They were all very polite to him. At first glance, he felt a little uncomfortable with Li Shushi, a guy who seemed to talk nonsense.

After all, one can be strong without desire. Since he accepted Cheng Yu's conquest of Li Shushi on behalf of him, it proves that he still has some desires for Li Shushi and hopes to achieve certain goals through Li Shushi. Therefore, Li Shushi, the prefect, evaluates him.

It's very important. After all, although Cheng Yu can replace Li Shushi

There are many problems to deal with, but when Li Shushi said that he would leave it entirely to Cheng Yu to handle such a major matter as Xiaolian, neither Cheng Yu nor anyone else would believe it, not to mention that Li Shushi also asked about Qiu Shanngle's character with great care just now.

, which proves that Li Shushi will not let go of those important things easily.

So although some of Li Shushi's behavior was a bit outrageous, he was a Shangguan, so certain actions were tolerated. Plus, it was his first time, so he was still a little bit nervous.

Of course, I thought that a certain Qiu would never admit this, but why did the corners of his mouth suddenly twitch?

However, after such tossing, the little excitement that Qiu Shanngle had in his heart gradually subsided. Looking at the report draft he prepared, he suddenly felt that the rather gorgeous words in it were very dazzling. I don’t know if he felt that they were

too

Too tedious and boring, just like Li Shushi who always interrupts here and there. I still feel that Li Shushi is not worthy of those gorgeous things. Anyway, Qiu Shanngle's words in the subsequent report were extremely concise, and he felt a bit capable.

In fact, what Cheng Yu needs Li Shushi to know are mainly three aspects - one is the change of population, which can be said to be the foundation of a place's development. Someone has labor, soldiers and tax revenue, and at the same time, it is more likely to find available talents.

Even if there is really nothing to show for it, you can still train it yourself. Although it is a bit troublesome, the larger the base, the greater the number of talents will be.

Therefore, as long as the peak population that a region can accommodate has not yet been reached, the more people, the better.

In addition, because the number of powerful people in Xihe was limited, although the proportion of tenants and slaves who took shelter from powerful people accounted for an alarmingly high proportion of the total population of the original Xihe County, the total number was not large due to the limited population in Xihe.

Once the population is diluted, the proportion quickly drops to a point where everyone is comfortable.

Li Shushi didn't intend to delve too deeply into the secret population of the powerful. After all, these were the cornerstones for the powerful to survive in Xihe, where the surrounding environment was so harsh. If everything was peaceful, Li Shushi could still consider tracing it slowly, but after the Xianbei people's attack on Gao

After the wolf massacre, although the strength of Xihe's defenders was not bad, it still gave many powerful men the idea of ​​strengthening their own strength.

However, thanks to Li Shushi's policy of establishing civilian villages, new immigrants entered Xihe and had the protection of the army and the land provided by the government. In addition, Li Shushi's tax revenue was far more generous than the 50-50 split of the powerful people. Perhaps all

The only thing people worry about is how long this generous governor can stay in Xihe, and whether his successor will once again use various methods to take away the property that the people finally laid down. This may be the only reason for the powerful

A place with advantages.

But overall, due to the excellent record and the reputation established over the past year, as well as the many prisoners captured by the Xihe County soldiers under Lu Bu's leadership, the total population of Xihe is recovering at an astonishing speed.

And this speed increases as Li Shushi

There is a possibility that travel in the northwest will continue to increase. It seems that the prefects in the areas around Xihe are beginning to be more willing to drive the refugees, epidemic victims, and remnants of the Yellow Turban Army to Xihe who cannot be resettled under their control. Anyway, Zhou Yu slapped the yellow cover, and a wish

Hit one and be willing to suffer.

However, with the group of shamans and witch doctors trained by Su Xiaololi before she left, as well as the existence of the master Luo He who should be called the "Druid", as long as an isolation zone is set up on the main channel leading to the Xihe River, the epidemic will be

The impact on Xihe will be minimized.

As for the Yellow Turban Army, it seems that Li Shushi originally obtained the position of prefect by strangling the Yellow Turban Army.

The population issue is satisfactory, but other aspects are frowned upon.

If the country is compared to a person, then agriculture is the skeleton, various industries are the muscles, and commercial circulation is the blood.

Due to the multiple factors of political turmoil and foreign invasion, although Xihe is administratively much better than the adjacent Shangjun, this is more because of the support of Pingzhou County, which is sheltered in the Taiyuan Basin, and Lishi, which was once used as a fortress.

The city wall is still relatively strong, but overall it is still in dilapidated condition.

With the farming system in agriculture, after several years of development, it can basically ensure that the treasury is full. And commercial circulation is because it can trade various materials with Karasuma, Xiongnu and other foreign tribes, coupled with the guarantee of the mercenary system established by Li Shushi

If it can basically be guaranteed that the government will not be isolated from other areas, then what Xihe lacks most now is various types of skilled talents.

Just like the trebuchets that played a huge role in the city defense battles last winter and this spring. Although we know that the trebuchets are very effective, if they are used intensively with some crude black powder, they can be very effective against the enemy.

It was a shock and a blow, but the craftsmen in Xihe found it difficult to make even the simplest wooden trebuchet.

What was used before was the inventory that had been stored in the Xihe Armory in the past. The craftsmen in Xihe could only ensure that the trebuchets would not be lost in key battles because of their age. Although the key core parts were not

It can be produced, but the quality is still inferior to those of the original ones that are somewhat old.

The production of trebuchets is already considered a simple object, not to mention other more complex step crossbows and bed crossbows.

Of course, with the continuous influx of a large number of refugees, these problems should be alleviated. After all, this is still a period when the Han Dynasty dominates the world, not a time when warlords are fighting. Therefore, although there are many powerful people who are willing to take the opportunity to absorb these talents,

But that is more limited to some outstanding blacksmiths and craftsmen who can make handicrafts. Li Shushi believes that unless his luck is really bad, this gap should be gradually bridged.

If it really doesn't work, the worst he can do is go to Luoyang to rob when the world is in chaos. This is the spiritual victory method of Li Shushi, who is helpless at the moment. Of course, he will never dare to say this, otherwise he will be prepared to be beaten by Lu Zhi and others the next day.

The treatment of being stuck in bed.

In general, Xihe's development momentum is good, but because its foundation is too poor and there is no foundation, there are many flaws. After all, Rome was not built in a day, and Xihe cannot become a top metropolis overnight. If it really is

In that case, it must have been Goldfinger's Total War and not here.
