Chapter 109: Information Gathered
Three days later, Yang Jie and the others took advantage of the night as a cover, and sent two batches of grain to Wang Bao's Nancheng military camp in one night, and delivered the remaining 400,000 catties of grain.
At the same time, Liu Xian also took advantage of the night to mobilize the more than 200 recruited young men of Yang's County to quietly carry the grain out from the south of the city, and then transport the grain back to Liufu in Liulin Village.
In addition, the more than 100 scholars were also borrowed by Wen Shen and asked them to do some duties that were originally supposed to be done by officials in Yang's County.
The first thing they helped Wenshen did was to re-register the people of Yangshi County. This work is extremely important, whether the government wants to govern them, or Liu Xian wants to control Yang's County, it is necessary to know the real population situation of Yang's County now. How many men and women are there? How many young and strong?
As long as he knows these basic situations, Liu Xian can plan for these situations and then let these people do something.
There are some things that really can't be delayed for too long, and we must let the people of Yangshi County carry out self-help production actions as soon as possible and produce some products with economic benefits as soon as possible.
Of course, what these scholars have done is not only this, they are now equivalent to being trained how to be a qualified official, a qualified investigator, a detailed work, etc., Liu Xian asked, when they registered those people, they also made certain daily inquiries to different people. It is necessary to have a certain understanding of each and every one of the people, and to obtain some useful information from talking to each of them every day. Every day, everyone has to make a report and hand them over to Liu Xian.
These are also all done by Liu Xian and asked those who read.
From this, Liu Xian can get some unexpected information. For example, in such and such a place, what kind of character is there, and this character is good at doing something, even if this person was originally a blacksmith, carpenter, plasterer, etc. Or, in which town or village, there was once a strong man, or who used to see such and such a big man and where, and so on. These may be the experiences of some people in the past, and now according to what they say, these people may not be able to be found, or perhaps, these people may have died in the Yellow Turban riots. But from it, Liu Xian can also get some useful information.
In particular, through the oral accounts of some people, Liu Xian can have an understanding of some places, such as where there is a mountain and where there is a bridge, or what special products will be produced in what place, and what kind of customs and customs are in which place.
The workload is indeed a bit large, but Liu Xian told those scholars that when registering their household registration for the people of Yangshi County, they could also ask about other things by the way.
Let's put it this way, more than 100 scholars have been trained at one time to have the ability to obtain the information they want from the oral statements of some ordinary people. This is equivalent to more than 100 seeds suitable for intelligence work, and it is also more than 100 seeds of talents who are suitable for those official positions in government departments in the future. In the future, when more people are recruited, they can be able to bring the old with the new, and some readers can be quickly trained by word and deed.
Liu Xian plans to set up a special intelligence department in the future, and among the intelligence departments, there will be special training institutions. The functions of this intelligence department will also be subdivided one by one, so that each person who is suitable for which part of the work can give full play to their abilities and talents in a certain link.
With this intelligence organization and its development and growth, Liu Xian will be able to know the affairs of the world without leaving home.
This intelligence department is not only needed by Liu Xian now, but will also be needed in the future, even if there is a real chance to unify this big man, it is also needed. Therefore, Liu Xian does not have to worry about wasting his material and financial resources to train these scholars.
Not to mention, Liu Xian really found some extremely useful information from it. For example, some salty stones were found in an underground lava cave in the eastern part of Yangshi County. There was a time when the stones were ground into powder and eaten as salt.
These are some rumors from the mouth of an old man in Yang's County who is more than 60 years old.
This, for the average person, may not feel anything. But for Liu Xian, this is a very useful piece of news.
The main thing is that because of this news, some of the information that Liu Xian had seen in his mind was activated.
Of course, these materials, maybe when Liu Xian was in later life, he also saw them occasionally, and at that time, Liu Xian didn't read them carefully at all, and he didn't remember them. However, now those data memories appeared in his mind.
It turns out that this Yang County should be the Ning Jin of later generations. In the eastern part of Ningjin, a large number of salt mines are stored in the area. The salt mines here have reserves of more than 100 billion tons.
What is the concept of 100 billion tons? Let's put it this way, according to the industrial capacity of later generations, 10 billion tons of reserves will be discovered, which will take more than 600 years to be mined. 100 billion tons will not be mined for 6,000 years.
But unfortunately, these salt mines are hidden more than 2,000 meters underground, and they cannot be mined with the industrial capacity of the Three Kingdoms era.
However, this does not mean that there is no possibility of salt deposits in shallower places.
In some underground lava caverns, in some underground rivers, salt deposits may occur.
In this Han Dynasty, salt itself was an extremely important and precious material, and in many places, it was really impossible to eat salt. In addition, salt is basically controlled by the government. If Liu Xian can find a place to produce salt mines, then it will be sent.
For Liu Xian, this is not the only useful information, there are other things. But this is not going to be useful for the time being.
Now Qian Kuan has handed over his inn to Liu Xian, although his wife is a little reluctant, but Qian Kuan also talked to her about the situation in Liulin Village, and then, his wife went to Liulin Village, and he was reluctant to come back.
In this way, Liu Xian settled with him according to Qian Kuan's opinion and the money he had placed in this inn before. In this way, the Qian Inn really belongs to Liu Xian.
Qian Kuan handed over a basement in the inn to Liu Xian for use, which has always existed in the inn. It is mainly used by the innkeeper to save some valuable items, and in fact, it is also a place to store wine.
Liu Xian kept the information collected by those scholars in that underground secret room. There, it was temporarily used as Liu Xian's archives.
However, at this time, the county lieutenant Suo Qi took a team of people and arrived at the Qian Inn with Wen Shen.
