Although Xiao Jiang did not have this task, his nature was to pluck wool. He was very interested in the relics left by Xiang Yu, so he used Zhang Rang's method to get into the Shangdang County Sheriff.
This official position is neither big nor small, but it happens to be located in the area where the Ren family buried treasure. Xiao Jiang chose this place for the convenience of going there. At the same time, he also planned to train a team. Even if he did not strive for world hegemony, he had to guard against other forces affecting his plans.
Shangdang is located on the border of Bingzhou, at the top of Taihang. There are Danzhu Ridge, Yangtou Mountain and Fajiu Mountain in the middle, and two basins on both sides. This place has been a strategic location since ancient times. If the north wants to peek into the Central Plains, it only needs to occupy this place.
You can advance, attack, retreat or defend.
Starting from the early Han Dynasty, in order to prevent Shangdang County from becoming too powerful, the original territory was divided and the new counties of Leping, Jianxing and Yining were formed. Therefore, Shangdang's current territory is only one-third of the original one.
Less than that, but it is still in the most critical place.
With the resources of two basins, Shangdang is neither rich nor poor. It can maintain the livelihood of 10,000 county soldiers in Shangdang County and officials from various places. In contrast, Bingzhou often fights with foreigners. The county soldiers here have a lot of combat experience, even compared to
The regular army is stronger.
Therefore, when the Yellow Turban incident occurred, there was no impact here, and officials in various ministries maintained normal order.
The eldest son was the governor of Shangdang County. Xiao Jiang and Long'er had just entered with a summons, and soon two generals and two civil servants came out to greet them.
"At the end of the day, General Zhang Yang, the lower official Zeng Bing has met the governor of the county. Your Excellency is coming from afar. We have prepared a small amount of wine for the little man to catch the wind and wash away the dust."
The seven people each reported their names. The Hu people had not seen the current situation of the lower party when they came. The original prefect had just removed his armor and returned to his fields. Historically, Zhang Yang was supposed to take over as the prefect, but now he is just a cavalry captain.
Mu Shun is an infantry captain, responsible for training soldiers and guarding the Huguan Fortress. If it was to welcome the military and political leader of the Hu people, I would dare to leave without authorization.
"Wu Qing, he didn't arrive at Xia Dang yesterday. Doesn't he have any preliminary ideas about Xia Dang's governance?"
Xiao Jiang laughed and said:
Bingzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and is mainly engaged in mining and breeding. This makes Bingzhou's food and grass burden smaller, so you decided to develop from county soldiers to farming. If you can let the army ensure the food and grass problem by itself, then the people of Bingzhou will
It cannot be developed in that way.
Zeng Bing reported to the county treasury, and the Xia Dang did not yet have a Bingzhou grain depot. This was used to support the rear line of military rations, and it was also under the management of the county guard.
Zeng Bing is the county heir, Yang Xuan is the chief minister, and they are also children of Bingzhou local aristocratic families. Looking at the group of local talents, Wood said with a smile: "Yang
"Shangguan has just arrived in Bingzhou, but he has heard that the people in Bingzhou are fierce and fierce. This is because of the intrusion of Zhang Yi's youth from the north.
"General Zhang, how is the military situation?"
The local products are quite rich, but the collection of copper, iron and other minerals is controlled by the government. The annual income can support the expenses of the entire county. Currently, the county treasury does not have 18.87 million yuan left, and 870,000 yuan in food.
stone."
"Chief Ding, please bring this low-handed man over here for a while."
I saw a long-bearded woman in her seventies retreating first, followed by a handsome and handsome woman two meters tall in front of me. Wood said with a smile:
After thinking about it, Hu Ren looked at Zhang Yang and asked:
Before the foreigner saluted, Xiao Jiang looked at the foreigner and said:
The barbarian nodded. At most, he would be a bachelor commander there. The money and food could not guarantee that the party would suffer from famine within a year even if there were natural or man-made disasters.
As for internal affairs, Zeng Juncheng must remember that if there is little development, your army cannot cultivate wasteland for military camps. This will not guarantee that your military rations will be limited. If the soldiers are full, they will not have the energy to train. Only if there is no training, there will be no worse combat effectiveness.
, today you will talk about that first, and you will analyze it based on the actual situation."
"Xiao County Governor, your few brushes can only deal with Zhang Yi. To be honest, there are many people in the army who are better than you. Even Hanoi County Governor Ding Yuan and Ding Jianyang are far better than you. By the way, I heard that I haven't
One man was extremely brave with his hands, and it was hard to beat him even with a Fangtian painted halberd. This man's surname was Lu, his given name was Bu, and his courtesy name was Fengxian. He had a warm and quiet personality, but he was not very talented.
Zeng Bing nodded and said:
Xiao Jiang smiled and said:
Now Xiadang County has one thousand infantry, eight thousand archers, and one thousand cavalry. They have been training day and night without slacking off.
Wood knew that it was a temptation from his subordinates. I smiled and said:
By the way, we will be outside today, you let them meet first before we talk."
As for military training and internal affairs development, this of course needs to be decided before a careless investigation. If you do not have the guidance of Zhang Xiaoren in the Bingzhou, your Xiadang County will definitely get worse and worse."
The Hu man thought for a while. What happened to Ding Yuan and Lu Bu now? Zhang Liao and others were still wandering around. I nodded and said:
"He is the county official, so he will finish by introducing the development of the county."
"Tomorrow you will go to Jincheng to meet Mr. Zhang. Zhang Yi harasses the border every year. Your area is the front gate of the Central Plains. General Zhang and General Mu need to strengthen their training. As for the details, we will wait until you come back.
After Xiao Jiang finished speaking, he turned back to the side room and shouted:
After a meal, the Hu people checked into the governor's mansion. On the seventh day, they rode alone to Jinyang. They met Xiao Jiang, the current governor of Bingzhou. She was a lowly northern woman with sword-shaped eyebrows and small eyes.
You are the governor, but your complexion is like bronze, and you have a strong sword hanging on your waist.
"The villain has been fighting Zhang Yi for many years. He must be very skilled in archery and horsemanship. You are making a fool of yourself."
"There is no eldest son in Xia Dangzhi. Tunliu, Xuushi, Didu, Duanshi, Yuwu, Xiangyuan, Tongti, Nie, Lu, She and other towns have a population of 870,000. Because there were so many refugees in those years, you
There are also villages built by nearly 70,000 refugees in various mountainous areas.
After chatting for a while, the Hu people went to a banquet. The banquets in that era had no wine, meat, and singing and dancing. Unfortunately, the Hu people knew how to appreciate it and ate the complicated food that was served at those banquets.
Mu Shun and others were slightly startled, because the newly arrived chief officer had such a temper, so Xiaojia followed suit and sat down at the governor's house. The barbarian looked at Zeng Bing and said:
"The governor of Ding County, Lu Fengxian, the barbarian Xiao Yuanchen who is not the governor of Dang County."
"You are the pillars of stability for the lower party. Xiao Yuanchen has come all the way and needs a little help from you. Since you guys haven't been waiting for a long time, let's talk about the situation of the lower party first. As for Jie Fengjiu, we'll talk about it later."
"Since Xia Dang is the first pass out of the Central Plains, the governor Xiao Jiang gave Xia Dang very little help.
There are no more than 2,000 county troops in the eldest son and no more than 7,000 troops in Huguan. The rest of the troops are stationed in Xiangyuan so that they can go to the border to fight Zhang Yi at any time."
"Chief Xiao is a heartless person. His idea is wrong. By the way, he has a sword hanging on his waist. He can be considered a martial arts practitioner. What if you guys want to compete and learn from each other?"
