Chapter 359: Reshaping Guanzhong and Building a New City
Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Jiang Wan and others took the volume in Deng Zhi's hand. After only a few glances, everyone was already angry!
According to the records in the volume, the crimes of the Guanzhong family include: embezzling the people's land, hiding a large number of people, refusing to pay all kinds of taxes, killing slaves and maids without permission, hoarding, joint price control, bullying men and women, etc. It's hard to write!
"Deng Zhi, Fei Yi, and Ma Liang listen to orders!"
Li Mu looked around at everyone and immediately shouted in a deep voice.
"The subordinates are here!"
Deng Zhi, Fei Yi, and Ma Liang are the three of them, Shi Lidao.
"From now on, in accordance with the laws and regulations of Liangzhou, the three of you will list the crimes of the various families in Guanzhong one by one, and after five days, you can send their crimes to all the cities in Guanzhong."
Li Mu shouted in a murderous voice.
With the help of movable type printing, it was naturally easy to print tens of thousands of indictments.
"We will obey the orders of the lord!"
Deng Zhi and the three of them gave the order!
"Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Ma, Dian Wei, and Fu Yi listen to orders!"
Li Mu turned his head to look at Zhao Yun and the five of them again, and shouted in a deep voice.
"The last general!"
Zhao Yun and the five replied in unison.
"The day when the charges against the Guanzhong family are announced is the time to arrest the culprit. After the discussion was over, you and the other five people rushed to the counties of Guanzhong to closely monitor the Guanzhong family! ”
Li Mu looked at Zhao Yun and the five of them, and shouted in a deep voice.
"I will live up to the trust of the Lord!"
Zhao Yun's five people gave the order!
"After the collapse of the Guanzhong family, there were naturally not a few seized grain, cloth, salt and iron and other materials."
Xu Shu looked at Li Mu and said in a deep voice: "Now, the two cities of Chang'an and Luoyang are dilapidated, I don't know ...... The lord can learn from the construction of Ningcheng...... Use the method of cash-for-work to re-expand and build these two cities? ”
As soon as Xu Shu's words fell, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Ma and other generals thought in their hearts, wondering if there were enough manpower, material resources, and financial resources to support the construction of Chang'an and Luoyang.
Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, Ma Liang, Zhuge Jun, Ma Jian and other scribes, in addition to thinking about human and financial resources, also considered one more level.
What Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others are thinking about is that now, the Han family exists in name only, and the rise of their own lords is just around the corner. Whether it is a temporary secession or a future unification of the world, this capital city is the top priority!
"The acres of farmland in Guanzhong are seriously abandoned, the water conservancy facilities are dilapidated, and the roads have not been repaired for a long time. If all kinds of materials are used to build the two cities, it will be difficult for Guanzhong to resume production in a short time. ”
"Moreover, if the two cities are built, in the eyes of all the people in the world, I, Li Mu, will become a person who does not want to make progress and is greedy for pleasure! At that time, will the world's best talents sincerely serve me? ”
After a while, Li Mu thought about it for a while, and then muttered.
"What the eldest brother said is very true!"
"The people of Guanzhong have been repeatedly warned, and they have long been living in poverty. At present, we should treat the people lightly and favorably so as to be close to the hearts of the people. When production resumes in Guanzhong, the construction of the two cities can be discussed again. ”
As soon as Li Mu's words fell, Zhao Yun had already made up his mind in his heart, and immediately said aloud.
"We will second what the lord and General Zhao said!"
Huang Zhong, Ma, Dian Wei, Fu Tong and others replied in unison.
"In the past, when Gaozu first got Guanzhong, there was nothing to take from property, nothing to luck for women, and he won the hearts of the people and finally won the world!"
Jiang Wan then seconded: "Jiang Wan seconded what the lord and General Zhao said!" ”
"What Gong Yan said is reasonable!"
"But...... This time and that time! When Gaozu won the Guanzhong, his power was far less than that of the lord, and King Xiang was the leader of all the princes in the world. Therefore, Gao Zu had to endure it! ”
"Nowadays, looking at the princes all over the world, the lord has the hope of the Spring and Autumn Qi Huan Gong and the male of the Warring States Qin Huiwen King. The princes of the world, don't know it! ”
As Liang said before, at this time, it is not advisable for the lord to expose his ambitions too early. Liang thought that the lord could build Chang'an City first and make a show for the princes of the world! ”
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, looked calm, and said aloud without hurrying.
"What Mr. Kong Ming said is reasonable!"
Fei Yi hesitated: "It's just ...... If financial, material and human resources are concentrated on the construction of Chang'an City, it will directly affect the production recovery of Guanzhong. What can I do? ”
Zhang Ji made a rough estimate, and then said loudly: "If you just build a city in Chang'an, you don't need to worry about financial and material resources!" It's just that...... Even with the manpower of Liangzhou, the manpower is probably still insufficient! ”
"It's not difficult to solve the problem of manpower!"
"After the coming year, the people of Guanzhong can be allowed to plant summer grain first, and then organize the people to build water conservancy and build cities. At the same time, soldiers from major legions can be dispatched to participate in the construction of new cities. ”
"As Liang can see, if the two states can combine the power of the two states to build water conservancy and build a new city, there will be no delay. At that time, if there is still a shortage of manpower, the process of building Chang'an City can be slowed down first. ”
Zhuge Liang still shook the feather fan lightly and said unhurriedly.
"Lord, what Kong Ming said is extremely true!"
"Just as Ningcheng was built back then, we can also recruit craftsmen from nearby states and counties. Nowadays, the Zhen family has shops all over the world, and when the time comes, the businessmen who cooperate with the Zhen family will inevitably come to the market. At that time, there will be no shortage of money and manpower! ”
Xu Shu took over the conversation and said loudly.
"What does the second brother think?"
Li Mu nodded, then looked at Zhao Yun and asked loudly.
"Big brother! What Mr. Kong Ming said is very true! ”
Zhao Yun had already made up his mind in his heart, and then said in a solemn voice: "It's just ...... When there is a shortage of manpower, we should give priority to building water conservancy and repairing roads! ”
"Why is Shi Yuan silent?"
Li Mu looked at Pang Tong and asked with a smile.
"What Kong Ming said seems to be a waste of money and labor, but in fact, it has a hundred benefits and no harm! What General Zilong said is the most pro-people and safe! What both of them said was the best policy! ”
Pang Tong said with a smile: "The lord is most worried about the manpower problem, at that time, you just need to improvise!" Don't hesitate! ”
"Good! That's what you say! ”
Li Mu didn't look forward or backward in his chest, and immediately said: "At the beginning of April next year, Chang'an City will be rebuilt." After dealing with the Guanzhong family, we will prepare all the materials needed for the construction of the new city in advance! ”
"We will obey the orders of the lord!"
Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others replied in unison.
"Since there is a lack of manpower, this time to treat the Guanzhong family, it is not appropriate to kill too much, only to kill the evil. In his family, the woman is a handmaiden, and the man can be a coolie! ”
Li Mu looked at everyone and said loudly.
"The lord is wise!" The crowd agreed.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the hall.
"Get out of here!"
Then, there was a roar.
"Lord!"
Just when everyone was surprised, he strode to the hall, and walked quickly to Li Mu, immediately knelt on the ground, and said in a sad voice.
Li Mu's heart tightened, and the uneasy premonition in his chest became heavier and heavier!
