"Is this the strength of Taiyuan City at this time, in addition to the Xuanda reinforcements, or the strength of the entire Taiyuan Mansion at this time?" Chang Yu asked.

"Lord Huichang, at this time, in addition to the reinforcements from Xuanda and Da, Taiyuan has a net strength of more than 50,000 heads, and these 67,000 people are the strength of the entire Taiyuan Town."

Ying Shisheng hurriedly replied.

Taiyuan Town has jurisdiction over three passes, nineteen mouths and thirty-nine forts, that is to say, there are more than 10,000 people in Ningwu and Yanmen Sanguan at this time.

That is to say, there is still water, and the more than 10,000 people in the three passes have not been verified, which will be discounted.

Taiyuan has 50,000 troops at this time, plus 228 reinforcements from Xuanda and Da, which means that the net strength is nearly 80,000, and it can fight hard with the thief army, Chang Yu thought to himself.

As for the salary, he copied 400,000 yuan from Datong's Jiang Jiu's house, which was almost enough to cover the military salary owed by the imperial court to Taiyuan, and as for the 20,000 Datong reinforcements brought by Yang Zhenwei, the arrears have been settled in Datong, and in order to stimulate morale, they also advanced their military salary for half a year, which is an unprecedented thing, so the military salary of 20,000 horses and horses is not taken care of for the time being.

In addition to the 400,000 yuan robbed from Fan Yongdou's hometown yesterday, there are still 300,000 left after deducting the robbery commission, which is enough to last for a while, but Chang Yu still feels that it is far from enough, just in case, he doesn't plan to use this old book, he still has to borrow it!

"Mr. Zhou, the salary can be sent today, but the ugly words are ahead, our family will not correct the past, and the current ones only need to catch one and kill one" Chang Yu's eyes swept around the generals present, full of killing intent.

"Forgive them for not daring!" Zhou Yuji also snorted coldly,

Chang Yu smiled faintly, and then said: "This governor actually hopes to have a few bold."

Everyone was puzzled

"In this way, someone will give Ben Du a sacrificial knife, and it just so happens that he can also kill chickens and monkeys to set an example!"

Everyone shuddered.

"The people of Dongchang and Jinyiwei will keep an eye on this matter, check one and kill another"

Chang Yu continued with a cold face: "The soldiers guarding the city have to support their families, and the soldiers guarding the border passes are the same, the imperial court will not chill their hearts, General Zhou will send someone to bet some silver to the soldiers of the three passes and also pay the silver, by the way, count the actual troops and military resources, and the people of Jinyi Wei will follow."

Zhou Yuji nodded, everyone present was afraid of Chang Yu at this time, this person killed people at every turn, and even the general soldiers of Datong said that they would be slaughtered, which was really frightening, but they admired the level of its water, and it was not indiscriminately killing innocents.

As soon as he came forward to take care of the most difficult food and salary problem, Cai Maode and others were still happy in their hearts.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I just listened to the meeting about the resettlement of refugees, and we have a little suggestion, but I would like to hear it," Chang Yu said with a faint smile after Liwei, and glanced at everyone.

"I would like to listen to the factory superintendent" Cai Maode usually rejects eunuchs very much, just like everyone thinks that there is no good thing in Dongchang, but at this time, he actually has another feeling for Chang Yu in his heart, he has met twice, and after talking, he feels that this person is really different.

"Tens of thousands of refugees are pouring in, and there is a lot of pressure to be close to the government, so why don't you rely on the power of the private sector at this time."

Civil power? Cai Maode and Zhou Yuji looked at each other as if they understood but did not understand.

"There are many big families in the city, Governor Cai and your lords can lead a few households to set an example, set up porridge shacks, donate clothes to refugees to ward off the cold, or let them build simple houses, etc., your lordship's face will definitely be appreciated."

Cai Maode and Sun Kangzhou nodded slightly: "This plan is feasible."

"Necessarily doable"

Chang Yu smiled slightly: "As long as the guidance is done properly, not only the big households will lend a helping hand, but also the ordinary people will accumulate good and virtuous virtues. ”

Everyone nodded, and they all thought that this discussion was good, and Chang Yu said that he would go to the Jin King's Mansion in person to persuade the King of Jin to join it, and everyone was overjoyed.

"As for the security in the city, it is inevitable that there will be pressure" After all, there are so many refugees, not to mention the security conditions at this time, even in later generations, in those developed countries, it is often out of control.

But what is the reason why they are causing trouble? It's boring, having nothing to do, and leaving their hometowns and cutting off their income, so they go to steal chickens and dogs or even kill people and set fires, but if we find something for them to do, and pay them a salary, so that they have money to earn, do you think they will be in the mood to make trouble? Chang Yu looked at everyone and said.

"What are you doing?" Everyone wondered what the refugees could do except eat and drink.

Chang Yu smiled slightly, got up and walked to the door, pushed open the door, a gust of cold wind hit in, everyone couldn't help but shiver, and tightened their sleeves casually.

"General Zhou, last night we met General Niu Shen (quite a division commander) and chatted with him for a while, and I heard him say that you are going to dig the ground as a trench to block and contain the enemy army?"

Zhou Yuji nodded!

Chang Yu smiled: "The time is urgent, the amount of work is large, and it is just in vain, and there is a ready-made river over there as a screen, why spend that effort."

"But the river is in the north of the city, so would it not be to abandon the city." Ying Shisheng took over and said.

"The city of projectiles, there is no danger to keep it, what is the use, if it is useful, it will be emptied" Chang Yu pursed his lips, Zhou Yuji and Ying Shisheng frowned at the same time, and nodded slightly.

"This is where the real trenches are to be dug!" Chang Yu said and pointed out the outside of the city!

Zhou Yuji and Ying Shisheng got up and walked outside the door, and looked into the distance from the battlements, and there were no refugees entering the city intermittently in the distance.

There is a big river in the west of Taiyuan City, the Fen River, which flows straight down from the west of the city to the southwest through the east side of Qingxu and divides into several branches, and it is also this Fen River that allows several cities including Taiyuan to have moat water sources.

At this time, there is a water canal seven or eight meters wide in the south of the city, which is to divert water from the east of the city as the moat of Taiyuan, but because of the drought and cold, the water is shallow and frozen.

In addition to this moat, there is no barrier in the south of Taiyuan City.

"Instead of digging a pit in vain over there, why don't you put some effort here, Mr. Zhou racked his brains last night to build Taiyuan into an iron wall, and now you can start construction." Chang Yu said with a smile.

Zhou Yuji nodded slightly: "Widen and deepen the moat, dig another trench a few miles away to set up obstacles, so as to resist the approach of the thief army's artillery, well, at least he can't approach easily."

"Anyway, the refugees are idle, and they can't be allowed to work in vain, although this project is large, it is not very difficult for tens of thousands of laborers." Ying Shisheng said casually.

At this time, Cai Maode and the others also walked out of the city tower, standing behind Chang Yu and listening to them, hearing this, Sun Kangzhou couldn't help but interject: "What General Bing Ying said is extremely true, but after listening to the words of the factory governor just now, you still want to pay them wages?" This, why is this, besides, we don't have any money in hand, who will pay for it? ”。

Everyone looked at Chang Yu.

"The wages must be paid, which can stabilize the people's hearts and make them feel that even if they leave their hometown, they have food and shelter and money to earn, even better than staying in their hometown.

Chang Yu said with a slight pause and said: "Second, we can also mobilize their enthusiasm and make the project complete as soon as possible." The third and most important point is to win the hearts and minds of the people."

As soon as the words fell, everyone was stunned, and then fell into silence, each of them understood Chang Yu's words in their hearts, and then nodded silently.

"Kill three birds with one stone, stabilize the hearts of the people, and if you win the hearts of the people, you can complete it as soon as possible, but the lower officials still can't help but ask, Lord Governor, who will pay the silver?" Cai Maode, this old fritter, must listen to the quasi-letter.

"We're out!" Chang Yu smiled faintly: "Our family has a bit of furniture, this little wallet is round!" ”

Wow, everyone couldn't help but exclaim, tens of thousands of people's wages, no matter how little you have, you have to get tens of thousands of taels, this eunuch actually responded in one bite, it is really a power eunuch, and he has looted a lot.

"Lord Governor, the holy decree has arrived" At this moment, several eunuchs hurriedly walked over.

Chang Yu glanced at it, raised his eyebrows, and it was the people from Dongchang who passed the decree! It seems to be an urgent decree.

Chang Yu, as the factory governor, is considered to be a public official, so he is called a minister, but he is still very casual and kneels directly to receive the order, saving the cumbersome procedure of cleaning his hands and changing clothes.

The holy decree was very short, so short that Cai Maode, Zhou Yuji and others were dumbfounded, but they couldn't help but scold Chang Yu in their hearts: This liar.

Chongzhen traveled thousands of miles to Chang Yu and gave him a holy decree to supervise the military affairs of Taiyuan.

The eunuch has been sent to the military field to supervise the army for a long time, but the difference between the prison army and the overseer is a world of difference, the supervision of the army is the meaning of surveillance, only allowed to listen to and see can not point fingers, the inspector is the governor to inspect, to put it bluntly, Taiyuan's military affairs Chang Yu is in charge.

It's really a lie, Chang Yu came to Taiyuan from Datong in the name of the factory governor and lied about supervising military affairs, Zhou Yuji and Cai Maode and others also believed it, but at this time, Fang Zhi was deceived by this goods, and he was pretending to be forced before.

But now people have a real B! What can they say, just wait for the factory governor to show his majesty.

Chang Yu knew the slander in the hearts of Zhou Yuji and the others, but he was thick-skinned, his face did not change and his heart did not beat, he got up to take the holy decree, and then asked the eunuch in a low voice: "Does the emperor have a secret decree?" ”。

With his understanding of Chongzhen, he would not have made such a simple will for thousands of miles, the holy decree is a scene, and there are definitely some things to nag about.

Sure enough, when the eunuch heard this, he also replied in a low voice: "Can Father-in-law Chang take a step to speak?"
