Chapter 23 Gongsun Advice
The next day, the four of them went to Gongsun Chen's mansion to ask for their resignation, and after getting the documents, they quickly returned to Gaoxian County, but it was already evening when they entered the city, and they did not go to the county mansion.
When Zhang Hao returned to the compound with Gongsun Du, Gongsun Du was very curious about these people in front of him, but he didn't ask, after all, he had just gotten acquainted, and he hadn't reached the point of putting his heart in his heart.
Although he didn't ask questions, he still secretly went to see those young people who were Lou, these people looked like Buyeo, but the words they said were different from those of Buyeo, Gongsun Du had seen Buyeo people, but he didn't know that there was a Rulou.
Zhang Hao looked at Gongsun Du's appearance, and couldn't help but be secretly amused, and took the initiative to tell him about the origin of these people, just telling him that these were the aliens he had met outside the Han Dynasty.
didn't tell him in detail about Lu Lou, not because he wanted to keep it secret, nor because he couldn't trust Gongsun Du, but because Lu Lou didn't border with the Han Dynasty, Gongsun Du didn't have any concept at all, and it was too troublesome to explain.
The next day, Zhang Hao took Gongsun Chen's papers, accompanied by Gongsun Du, visited Gaoxian County Order, and got a hundred hectares of wasteland, a full 10,000 acres, but the location is located in the north of the county, next to the Buyeo people.
The current Buyeo people are not honest, and often come to rob the people nearby, and it seems that there is no stopping in this place.
However, Zhang Hao did not blame the county order, if it were not for this position, it would be impossible to get so much land, even if it was wasteland, it would be owned by the imperial court at this time.
"What do you think?" After seeing the wasteland, returning to the courtyard in the city, Zhang Hao summoned everyone and asked.
Tong Fei, Hua Tuo, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Jiang Hehuhai, as well as Zhang Wen and Gongsun Du sat in a circle.
"I don't care about anything else, as long as there is a place to grow my herbs," Hua Tuo spoke first, he didn't care about anything else except those herbs.
"Zihan, I suggest recruiting tenants, we can't cultivate such a large piece of land, I don't know if you have enough money, if not, I have some savings." Gongsun Du proposed.
He didn't know Zhang Hao's financial resources, thinking that he should have no money to save after going out for so many years, and even wanted to empty his family to help Zhang Hao.
"Brother Shengji, don't worry, money is not a problem, I don't know if Brother Shengji has heard of glass?" Zhang Hao asked with a smile.
"Of course I've heard it, I've also bought it, which famous family doesn't put some glass at home now, isn't it...... Yes, Haohantang, I didn't think of it earlier. Gongsun Du patted his forehead as he spoke.
Zhang Xi's glass business has been opened in all states and counties, although a vast hall has not opened in all cities, I also have one or two shops in each county.
"Brother Shengji, if you have any suggestions, although you say, money is not a problem." Zhang Hao looked at Gongsun Du.
"In this case, we can build a village next to the farmland, otherwise we will waste a lot of time going back and forth between the farmland and the city every day." Gongsun Du said again.
"Yes." Zhang Hao nodded in agreement.
"My lord, the Buyeo people are extremely fierce, and now that the cultivated land is on the edge of the Buyeo people, do we need to recruit private soldiers?" Zhang Wen said.
Zhang Wen has a deep understanding of the looting of the Buyeo people, and they don't know how to kill people for money.
"Yes, Zihan, I think it's necessary." Zhang Fei echoed.
The others nodded their heads.
"Well, we do need some private soldiers, but we shouldn't do too much, choose young and strong recruits, we can also train them."
"I suggest that the private soldiers be professionalized, if they are trained, a group of cavalry can be trained, we have no danger to defend here, and it is far away from the county seat, and the county soldiers have no time to rescue."
"If there are cavalry, we can keep the enemy out of the village without destroying the crops in the village."
At this time, the private soldiers in the hands of the wealthy clans were not only responsible for defending the family, but also responsible for other work such as farming in peacetime, and only became soldiers when they needed to fight.
Gongsun Du proposed to professionalize the private army and only be responsible for war, which increased the investment in maintenance, but also increased a lot of combat effectiveness.
As for cavalry, in the era of cold weapons, it is undoubtedly a very powerful type of troops, and its mobility is particularly strong, but the consumption of money is very huge.
"Brother Shengji is reasonable, but I don't know where to buy a good war horse now." Zhang Hao asked helplessly.
He had just arrived here, and he was not familiar with anything, and if he wanted to form a cavalry, he needed a large number of war horses, and it was not bad for a horse dealer to buy a dozen horses in his hands.
"I do know a person, but he is in the subject country of Liaodong, and Zihan can go to him to buy it." Gongsun Du said.
"Please also ask Brother Shengji for advice."
"This person's name is Yang Xiong, his ancestors have been selling horses for generations, and he has a lot of good horses in his hands, but the price is slightly higher......
"Price is not a problem, as long as we can buy the quantity that can meet our needs." Zhang Hao said indifferently.
He is not short of money now, and Zhang Xi is still making money for him.
After that, there are some details, most of the time Gongsun Du is proposing, and the others only add a sentence occasionally.
It can be seen that this Gongsun Du is not only both civil and military, but his experience and foresight are beyond the reach of others now, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun are still young, Hua Tuo only cares about those herbs, and Tong Fei lacks some governance experience.
After some discussion, it was decided to recruit 3,000 tenants to be responsible for farming, 1,000 private soldiers to be responsible for armed protection, and Gongsun Du was responsible for recruiting manpower.
At this time, there are already many refugees in various regions, plus many people who are hovering on the fringes of refugees, it is not a matter of recruiting people, as long as they can support them, some people are willing to vote.
As for the construction of villages, it is up to the rivers, lakes and seas to do it, and they don't need to do it themselves anyway, just hire some craftsmen, just throw money.
Tong Fei, with the assistance of Zhang Wen, continued to train the 100 young people.
The work here was in full swing, and Zhang Hao took Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun out of the county seat, preparing to find the horse dealer introduced by Gongsun Du for Zhang Hao, and galloped all the way to the subject country of Liaodong.
This Liaodong subject country and Liaodong County are not the same place, between Liaodong County and Liaoxi County, in the Cao Wei period, changed to Changli County, and the current seat of governance is in Changli County.
In Changli City, I found the horse dealer named **, and after explaining his intentions, the horse dealer still had a somewhat unhappy look.
Although the three of them are well dressed, they are still dolls in his eyes, and they can't say that they are dolls from a big family who came here to entertain him.
At this time, Zhang Hao was only nineteen years old, less than twenty, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were only fifteen or sixteen years old, even if a big family wanted to buy a horse, they would not let this doll buy it.
At this time, the price of horses has risen to the price of 2 million yuan a horse, which is not affordable for ordinary people.
