52. The best thing that traversers are really good at is plagiarism.
"My lord, although you trust me so much and entrust all the government affairs in Xihe to my command, there is a shortage of talents in Xihe now. You should at least pay attention to the government affairs, otherwise you will have to see Meifeng and me off after this winter.
I'm not afraid of anything if I'm alone, but it's hard to guess whether something will happen to Miss Wu."
Seeing that Li Shushi handed over his proposal to him, he planned to rub oil on the soles of his feet. Cheng Yu couldn't bear it and finally broke out. Poor our Li Shushi, if he wanted to escape to heaven, Huang Xu would chase him in front of him, and Cheng Yu would follow him every step of the way.
Fucking, especially watching
The brush in his hand had begun to emit black gas, but Cheng Yu was unaware of the angry glare on his face. Li Shushi doubted that if he really ran away, his butt would most likely be subjected to mutton skewers.
treatment.
"Zhongde, you are now old enough, and you should think about the future of your Cheng family. And looking at you like this, it is obvious that your anger is too strong and you lack the coordination of yin energy. As the saying goes, 'if the yang does not exist, the only person will be alone.
The shade is not long. By the way, Zhongde, is there anything you want to tell me?"
Seeing that Cheng Yu's face had turned purple, Li Shushi wisely changed the topic to more serious matters.
"After sorting it out these days, Meifeng and I have a general understanding of the situation in Xihe. We have to admit that the situation is not very good, or it will be much worse than we originally expected."
Hearing Li Shushi ask him, although it was obvious that he was changing the subject, Cheng Yu still answered with a serious expression. And after hearing Cheng Yu's answer, Li Shushi's originally playful expression became equally serious, which made the original expression more serious.
Huang Xu, who was pestering him to ask questions, quietly left here. Both Li Shushi and Cheng Yu found it a bit incredible that Huang Zhong, who was straightforward but impulsive, could have such a well-educated and calm son.
"How bad is it? How will it affect our plans, and to what extent?"
Putting aside the daydream about Huang Xu, after all, although Huang Xu has great potential, it seems to Li Shushi that although he has not inherited his father's outstanding talent in martial arts, his intellectual potential is over 80, although he is still far from being a first-class counselor.
Distance, but think about it, guys like Lu Meng, Liu Ye and Fazheng who can be famous in Han history have not been able to reach the threshold of 90, so we can still look forward to his future, but his body is still in the stage of recuperation and the accumulation of knowledge
There are also many shortcomings.
"What should I say? As the frontier area to ensure the logistical supplies for the soldiers under the command of the Xiongnu Zhonglang General, this area is still sufficient in terms of storage of military supplies. If we are trapped here, then we will not need to provide for all the troops within two years.
The city's soldiers and civilians are worried about the food problem. At this point, as long as I make careful calculations, there will definitely be a surplus and not a shortage."
Cheng Yu's words should have been good news, but Cheng Yu's expression was still extremely serious, and Li Shushi felt that the uncle in front of him obviously added an accent to the word "military and civilian". Judging from the scribes' habit of speaking in roundabout ways,
This is obviously the focus of Cheng Yu's emphasis, and it should also be the reason for the bad situation Cheng Yu said.
Li Shushi just thought for a moment and understood the meaning of Cheng Yu's words - Xihe County is short of men. You must know that if the Xiongnu Zhonglang general has only 30,000 Han soldiers, the number of Han soldiers will be 30,000, and these soldiers will need rations.
The transfer was carried out by the Xihe River. Including the foreign soldiers gathered under his command, there were ten thousand to twenty thousand people.
They live under the command of the Xiongnu Zhonglang General, but live in their respective tribes. They will only be recruited when they are needed. However, in order to ensure the loyalty of these people, in addition to the war period, they also need to serve for them on weekdays.
Solve part of the ration problem. If we add up the rations, we can basically calculate that we need at least 40,000 people a year.
Of course, there are not only the troops brought by Li Shushi in Lishi City, but also many local people. However, if no special incident occurs, the people will basically not consume the food in the grain reserve, so unless there are special circumstances,
Grain depots do not need to calculate their food consumption, but what Cheng Yu said is obviously an extreme situation.
Because it is located at a border fortress, the taxes collected are directly converted into military supplies and stored. In other words, the army's granary and the prefect's palace's granary in Lishi City are shared. In this case, Li Shushi connects the army and
The total number of prisoners will be almost there
Fifty thousand people, that is to say, if the city is closed, Li Shushi's troops will just replace the soldiers under the command of the Xiongnu Zhonglang General. Even so, Lishi City can still support it for two years and still have a surplus. This shows that the population in Lishi City
It's really sad.
"The roads between Xihe, Hedong and Taiyuan counties are not smooth, and Shangjun in the west is even more infested with barbarians, so if there is a change in our food and grass, we have to deal with it ourselves. But now the population we can control
Even supporting our own army is somewhat difficult, let alone taking care of General Zong Lao Zhonglang. However, the situation here is too complicated. It is impossible for us to consider the issue of disarmament, so this has become our future development.
The biggest problem.”
"Zhongde doesn't have any better way?"
"They are all distant water that cannot quench their thirst. The fundamental reason why Xihe County's population is losing so quickly is the intrusion of the barbarians. You must know that for the victims, the terror of the barbarians is probably three times more terrifying than the harsh government.
Divide it."
Cheng Yu said that he was helpless. After all, if there were not so many raging grassland peoples in Xihe, it would not be Li Shushi's turn to come and serve as the governor. After all, although the roads are impassable, the land here is not too barren, and the rivers can be used for irrigation.
It can also provide sufficient water. Even though the climate in winter is a bit harsh, the population of Youzhou further north is far greater than here.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Hong, who has always been a bit stingy, also made a tax-free commitment to Li Shushi, because the taxes that can be collected here are really pitiful and he has to risk his life. The price of the West Garden can be
It can be seen that the cheap ones are not even as valuable as the county magistrates in the Central Plains region.
Of course, it can also be said that as long as Li Shushi can stabilize the situation here, it should not be difficult to make Xihe prosperous with generous policies in this era of natural disasters. However, the prerequisites for achieving this goal are
Let all Li Shushi's plans almost come into play
This has led to a dead end. Even if Li Shushi has the ability to stabilize the situation in Xihe, the time it will take may be enough to use up all the time of this preferential policy. I don't know if it will be enough. Even if it is enough, I'm afraid there won't be much time left.
So Liu Hong is a very shrewd businessman.
However, in Li Shushi's view, although Liu Hong's good policies only lasted for five years, as mentioned before, the taxes in Xihe were basically converted into military supplies on the spot, so even if the tax holiday passed, it would just allow Li Shushi to put the original money on himself.
The wealth in the right pocket is just transferred to the left pocket. If there is any problem with the clan members, I am afraid that in order to stabilize the situation and he does not make any big mistakes, Liu Hong will completely let himself be caught by the military and political affairs, and then he will be more free, right?
.
"Then, if the existing population really cannot afford the consumption of our army, then let our army farm."
Regarding Cheng Yu's concerns, Li Shushi, a time traveler, blurted out such an idea without much thought. "Tramping? It seems to be a way. Speaking of it, Emperor Xiaowu wanted to ensure that the supplies of the border troops were not protected by the Huns.
This method has been used in the past, and the effect is quite good.
.Our situation today is very similar to the Han Dynasty’s confrontation with the Xiongnu in the past. My lord’s idea should be able to solve the current predicament. Moreover, many of the Yellow Turban Army were originally from farmers and were familiar with farming, although they could not compete with the Hu people.
For direct confrontation, it is enough to defend against enemy attacks."
Regarding Li Shushi's unthinking answer, Cheng Yu originally thought that his lord was planning to liven up the atmosphere again, and was about to condemn his improper behavior. However, after all, he was also a top existence with an intelligence potential of 90+. After a little aftertaste, his brain noticed Li Shushi's answer.
The idea didn't seem to be a joke, although the tone of his words was calm and without thinking.
As Cheng Yu said to himself, the concept of farming actually appeared as early as the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but in the final analysis it is just a kind of reverse thinking. Of course, people who can think reversely basically have good IQs.
Tuntian first appeared because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty captured the Heshuo area that was originally in the hands of the Xiongnu. However, due to the nature of the Huns' cavalry coming and going without a trace, Emperor Wu had to face a very troublesome situation, that is, his Han Dynasty
Emperor Wu could spend huge sums of money to capture these areas, but the Huns were able to use harassment and sneak attacks to make him unable to defend these areas even if he spent huge sums of money. In the end, not only did the troops lack supplies, but the Huns who suffered heavy losses also recovered a lot.
vitality.
Therefore, allowing the local garrison to open up wasteland and cultivate land on the fertile Hetao Plain to be self-sufficient while building military fortresses for reinforcement became the only practical and best solution after Emperor Wu thought hard. The above was the beginning of farming.
The reason why it is called reverse thinking lies in the issue of troop sources.
From the Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty, there were basically not many professional soldiers. Most of the soldiers worked on farm work and gathered during wartime. They had no military pay. Unless they fought in a stalemate for a long time, they also had to raise their own military rations. This was the famous total war during the Warring States Period.
The garrison system is an inheritance of the idea of total war. It also involves farming and receiving military training on weekdays, and concentrating during battles. It just gathers soldiers who were originally scattered in various places to form a superior force in a region, thereby ensuring that there are enough
The military force can be used to defend against the enemy's attack or be quickly recruited to conduct offensive operations.
At the same time, because the prime-age labor force owned by the army is obviously far greater than the demand for land, soldiers can be allowed to take turns in farming and military training, which can maximize the combat effectiveness of the army and prevent it from becoming rusty due to farming.
Of course, the most important thing is that there is no loss caused by grain transportation (you must know that the number of people who are eaten on the way during long-distance grain adjustment is a shocking number, which is why water transportation was so important in ancient times) and
Uncertainty can ensure the combat endurance of the troops to the greatest extent.
The above are the benefits brought by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty after he implemented garrisoning. Later, after continuous improvement, the military garrison system that we are familiar with was formed. The general war of hiding troops from the people became garrisoning, although it would cost some troops.
The combat skills become rusty, but it can provide more troops for the battle, so overall the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
Of course, this system is just a prototype now, and it will not be carried forward by a certain black dwarf until later and form a fixed system. But now that Li Shushi is a time traveler, Meng Degong, if you are not careful, you will have another headache.
The aura above has dimmed a lot.
p.s. Did you eat too well during the Chinese New Year, but you ended up with diarrhea due to indigestion? What a shame...
