Who sent these dead soldiers, Zhao Hui can also guess.

But when was his whereabouts leaked?

And who leaked it?

Mother Xu and the little maid were both shocked.

Guo Jia was calm and calm, without the slightest nervousness.

It seems that if Zhao Hui was killed just now, he would not have died.

Guo Jia said: "These dead soldiers, if I admit it correctly, are the dead soldiers under Yuan Shao's account." ”

Guo Jia took refuge in Yuan Shao at the beginning, although he was not allowed to reuse, but he was more clear about some things about Yuan Shao.

On the border of Youzhou, Jizhou, there are only Yuan Shao's people.

The strength of these dead soldiers can only be cultivated by Yuan Shao.

It's all trained and cultivated from a young age.

After Xu Shu calmed his mother's emotions, he came to Zhao Hui and Guo Jia.

"Could it be that someone from the Zhen family leaked the news?"

Although he will marry the daughter of the Zhen family soon, when it is time to doubt, Xu Shu will still be suspicious.

Zhao Hui shook his head: "It shouldn't be them." ”

If the Zhen family really wants to kill Zhao Hui and do it in the Zhen family, it will be easier to succeed than now.

set a fire at night and burned the entire yard, and Zhao Hui and several others were also burned to death, and there was nowhere to run.

The Zhen family doesn't have this need, after all, they are already going to cooperate with Zhao Hui, and the secret recipe of the thousand miles that Zhao Hui promised them has not been given to them yet.

The Zhen family now least wants to see Zhao Hui die.

Guo Jia said: "Although we are not from the Zhen family, we should have exposed our whereabouts in the Zhen family." ”

After all, he stayed in the Zhen family for several days, even if he asked Zhen Tu to keep it secret, there were thousands of people in the Zhen family plus servants.

If Xun Chen didn't do well, but Xun Chen came, not only Xun Chen, but also many people would deliberately focus their eyes on Zhen's Mansion.

Zhao Hui and his entourage first followed Zhen Mi to help the refugees, as long as they had the heart to inquire, they would eventually be able to find out some news.

After disposing of the body, Zhao Hui and his party continued to move forward.

Although he was assassinated, it had no effect on Zhao Hui.

Shadow Guard never showed up.

On the road ahead, there were no more accidents.

Zhao Hui returned to Jicheng, and Guo Jia was appointed as a military advisor to sacrifice wine.

The matter of population statistics was fully handed over to Guo Jia to deal with.

Before this, there was no definite number of how many households there were in Youzhou.

Even if it is the government, there is only an approximate number, almost 500,000 households.

But Zhao Hui believes that this number is far lower than the real number of households in Youzhou.

Counting household registration is a very large task, which is not easy and requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

Liu Yu before, even if he knew that there was a problem with the household registration, there was no way to recount it.

Because at that time, even if he spent a lot of time and financial resources, he sent someone to recount.

The results are not much different from what they are now.

Too many people will hide their hukou and lie about the number of people.

The officials of the counties below, as well as the wealthy families, will not report it truthfully.

Some people will even hide in the mountains and wait for the people who count their household registration to leave before returning.

Unlike the later generations, without a hukou, many things cannot be done.

Now that they don't have a hukou, the impact on them is really very small.

The most important thing is that they can avoid paying taxes.

Even in Youzhou, where Zhao Hui is located, taxes account for nearly one-third of the people's income.

Compared with the ten taxes and one thirty taxes in the early Western Han Dynasty, the quality of life of the people today is far inferior to those people at that time.

But even Zhao Hui can't give these people a tax of thirty and one now.

Now we can only do our best to keep these people alive.

If ultra-low taxes are really implemented, the people will be comfortable in the past two years.

But when the time comes, Yuan Shao will raise troops to attack Youzhou, and Zhao Hui will take something to stop it.

Wine and books alone could not sustain a large army.

It was because too many taxes were concealed that Zhao Hui was in a hurry to recount the population.

Zhao Hui is now in Youzhou, and he is three out of ten, which is much lower than the ten taxes and five for Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others.

Not counting the troops in the hands of those Taishou, Zhao Hui can now fully control 80,000 soldiers and horses.

Of these, 40,000 were elite, 30,000 were reorganized by the Montenegrin Army, and 10,000 were newly recruited.

Even though Zhao Hui gave the soldiers a good treatment, in the recruitment of new soldiers, fewer and fewer people responded from the counties.

The entire Youzhou has a population of about 3 million.

Now Zhao Hui has 80,000 troops in his hands, and the troops in the hands of other Taishou add up to about 20,000.

One of the thirty men was a soldier.

That's a very high percentage.

If it wasn't a last resort, Zhao Hui didn't want to increase the number of soldiers.

There is no mandatory requirement for conscription to be sent out.

At the recruitment office, there were fewer people queuing up than before, and the conditions for the dormitory were higher than before.

Only those who are over thirty years old and under forty years old and physically strong are drafted.

At least 30 years old, if you start a family, the children in the family are almost in their teens.

Even if a man enlists in the army, although the woman suffers a little, she can barely live with her children.

Those who are over thirty years old and in good health, but have not yet started a family, can only say that their family situation is too bad, and no woman wants to marry them.

It is their own choice to fight for fame in the army.

Compared with Yuan Shao's army of more than 100,000, Zhao Hui is still under great pressure now.

"I want to send people to various places to conduct uniform training for men under 30 and over 15."

Zhao Hui and Guo Jia, Xu Shu and others discussed.

The number of soldiers does not meet Zhao Hui's requirements now.

They also do not want to force conscription, nor do they want to relax the conditions for conscription.

He also needs to ensure the stability of Youzhou.

If conscription is compulsory, it is easy to send out all the popular support that Zhao Hui has gained during this time.

Xu Shu said: "If these people are trained well, will there be chaos?" And gathering them together for no reason to train together, I'm afraid it will also make them resentful. ”

Xu Shu is still more worried, if he trains these people well, but he can't manage them in a unified manner, it will be easy to make trouble in the local area.

Zhao Hui wanted to train these people because he wanted to develop them into a kind of militia.

When it is really a last resort, you can also use these militias.

And even if you don't have to, each village has a militia, which can deal with some bandits and bandits and ensure the safety of their own villages.

As for saying that after training these militiamen, they will cause chaos in the local area, this Zhao Hui is not too worried.

If someone wants to rebel, and a pull is hundreds of people with whom.

Then it can only show one, he Zhao Hui is a failure in the governance of Youzhou.

It didn't give these people a good life.

Zhao Hui believes that as long as these people can live a good life and see hope from Zhao Hui, no one will rebel and make trouble.

Compared with other princes, Zhao Hui has the advantage of having newspapers in his hands.

Shanggu Minbao has been changed to Youzhou Minbao.

Anything can be confirmed from the newspaper.

Even if there are people with different intentions, it will not be so easy to deceive the people.
