Guo Jia organized his thoughts, combined with Ying Zige's hint last night, and prepared to start his performance.
Just as he was about to speak, a thought flashed through his mind, and the words he spoke changed.
"My lord, now that the two counties have been newly acquired, everything is waiting to be revitalized. I wonder what my lord has planned?"
Ying Zige was stunned for a moment, thinking that Guo Jia was lazy again, so he secretly gave him a roll of his eyes.
Guo Jia had a smile on his face and looked at Ying Zige lazily, making it impossible to detect his true thoughts.
Seeing Guo Jia's reaction, Ying Zige secretly shook his head.
"This prodigal son, I just want you to tell me that last night's candle-lit night talk was for nothing? It's not a crime to be lazy! What else do you ask? Of course you are the one who plans the overall situation, Meng Yi is in charge of internal affairs, and Meng Tian is in charge of military training.
, and Gu is behind the scenes taking care of everything!
Thinking in his mind, Ying Zige's face was extremely calm and he thought slightly.
"Come on, since this guy is lazy and doesn't follow the routine, and doesn't know what's going on in his heart, let's go around him first and go alone."
Thinking of this, Ying Zige raised his head and turned his attention to the other civil and military personnel: "Everyone, now that the two counties have been newly acquired, there are many wastes waiting to be revitalized. Whether it is military or political affairs, they should make new achievements. I also hope that you will
Let’s encourage each other.”
Everyone responded in unison: "I will obey the Lord's order!"
After saying that, Ying Zige sorted out his thoughts for a moment, and then began to calculate his wealth with the civil and military officials.
It has to be said that at this time, Fang can highlight the advantages of having a good internal affairs talent. Ying Zige only needs to throw out his own problems, and Meng Yi will naturally sort out and report them in detail.
From the beginning to the end, there was not a single stumbling block, and at the same time, he did not take out any record-keeping slips, which made Ying Zige wonder whether Meng Yi had a computer notepad installed in his head.
A report and a question.
One sorting and one calculation.
In short, with the tacit cooperation between Ying Zige and Meng Yi, two hours passed by in a flash.
Ying Zige also probably had a preliminary understanding of his current wealth. At the same time, he also understood why Guo Jia obviously understood what he meant, but was temporarily lazy today.
"This internal affairs matter is indeed not something ordinary people can do. It seems that from now on, all matters in this area should be left to Meng Yi."
After thinking about it, Ying Zige secretly made a clear statistic in his mind.
First of all, the biggest change was the military strength of the various tribes that increased greatly after acquiring the land of the two counties. In addition to the wealth accumulated in Beiyuan before, Guo Jia gained 22,000 usable troops in the attack on Longxi. In addition, he gained 22,000 usable troops in Hebei.
The city received 15,000, Tianshui received 23,000, and the independent armies of Huben, Langya, and Golden Fire Cavalry each amounted to 3,000.
At this time, 70,000 soldiers and horses were gathered. Although there were many old and weak soldiers among them, according to Meng Yi's calculations, after training and sorting out, it is definitely not a problem to get 50,000 elite soldiers.
.
There is no separation between military and government!
After thinking about military affairs, Ying Zige turned his attention to domestic affairs. In a word, he was poor! The finances were poor, and the talents were even poorer.
With the help of Wang Yi, Jicheng was easily captured, especially after integrating the accumulation of Jicheng over the years and the long-term heritage of Da Qin.
Ying Zige believed that the internal affairs problems that happened to most princes today would never come to him.
But after taking over the two counties, he realized that his idea was still naive.
Among the two counties, Tianshui is better.
After all, as one of the two most prosperous counties in the ten counties of Liangzhou, although the entire Tianshui County is not as good as the counties in the Central Plains, it is not even as good as the counties of Yongzhou, which are also considered the land of Liangzhou.
However, under the governance of several powerful men and Ma Zun, the governor of Tianshui County, the entire Tianshui County can be considered to have sufficient food and grass, and the people of Yin County are rich.
From the perspective of Ying Zige, who has two thousand years of experience, as long as he slightly adjusts the industrial structure, he believes that Tianshui will soon become the most solid logistics base for the entire Great Qin force.
However, this premise is that there is no drag from another county.
Longxi is exhausted, this is an indisputable fact throughout Liangzhou and even the world.
When Ying Zige decided to take Longxi, he was naturally well prepared, but when Meng Yi actually reported the internal affairs of Longxi, he couldn't help but be surprised!
As one of the ten counties in Liangzhou, Longxi is located on the border, but it also has ten counties.
It is said that with a base of ten counties, no matter how poor you are, there should be a limit. However, Longxi broke this common sense.
Let’s talk about the people first. Longxi, which has ten counties, has less than 30,000 households with a population of 150,000 according to Meng Yi’s statistics.
You must know that Longxi is not like the Central Plains, with countless tenant farmers who are hidden by aristocratic families.
Longxi County is a poor place on the border. It can be said that there are no aristocratic families in the entire territory. If there are any, they are just one or two wealthy families.
But Ying Zige calculated in his mind that even if those wealthy families were included, the population of the entire ten counties in Longxi would only be 150,000 or 60,000 at most.
In other words, the population of Longxi in one county is about 50,000 more than that of Jicheng in one city, and this does not include the old, weak, sick and disabled.
If counted, the number of young men available in Longxi is only about 70,000 to 80,000 at most, and 20,000 of them were recruited into the army by Li Xi and are now subdued by Guo Jia.
This means that there are only fifty to sixty thousand young men and women who can work in the ten counties of Longxi, and the number of men and women among them has not yet been calculated.
Thinking of this, Ying Zige already had a headache, but what Meng Yi said next made him even more uncomfortable.
Since Ying Zige started his army, although there has been a shortage of top talents because of his heritage in the Qin Dynasty, the talent gap at the mid-level and lower levels has been basically zero.
However, after taking over the two counties, Ying Zige found that the mid-level and grass-roots officials who used to have too many places to place them suddenly were not enough.
Whether it’s Tianshui or Longxi!
Based on what Meng Yi said, Ying Zige silently calculated in his mind. Even if he had exhausted all the details of the Great Qin legacy, there was still a lot missing.
All of these things suddenly fell on Ying Zige's shoulders, making him feel caught off guard.
While deep in thought, he couldn't help but secretly sink his mind into the sea of consciousness, and wanted to ask Lu Wu if he could resurrect a prime minister with the talent to handle government affairs, appease the people, and also make money and food.
Before he could ask, Meng Yi's voice called him back.
"My lord, the current situation of our army is roughly like this. Among them, the allocation of generals and generals needs to be arranged by the lord, and the personnel problems in Longxi are urgently needed to be solved!" After Meng Yi finished his report, he looked at Yingzi, who looked solemn and slightly lost in thought.
Ge, silently cupped his hands and returned to his seat.
"Fengxiao, what do you think we should do?"
When Ying Zige came back to his senses, he knew that he was a little anxious, so he simply put down his idea of asking Lu Wu and looked directly at Guo Jia, who was enjoying a drink.
"Lord! Longxi is exhausted. This is an indisputable fact. According to Doctor Meng Yi's words, there are three ways to wait for the lord's decision."
As soon as Yingzige opened his mouth, Guo Jia, who was contented at the same time, immediately changed his expression, stood up and replied warmly.
In fact, Guo Jia seemed to have been lazy, but his ears did not miss every word of Meng Yi's report, and he was constantly thinking about countermeasures in his mind.
Because he knew that once Meng Yi was over, Ying Zige would definitely leave these problems to him to solve. At this time, he must not be lazy, otherwise Ying Zige would have to deduct all the ten gourds of wine every month.
