After Yang Hao returned to Chang'an, he did not enjoy a few days of family fun and devoted himself to complicated government affairs.

Although the officials of Qi State did a good job, many things did not satisfy Yang Hao.

Now for Qi State, the most important thing is the development of Youyu's minerals.

Before Yang Hao left Xin, the occupied areas had already begun to organize the construction of roads and cities to prepare for the transportation of minerals in the future.

Although the smelting of metals can be carried out in the mining area, it is easy to leak out the high-tech mastered by Qi State.

After all, the work of smelting is not high-tech, and it is easy to copy it as long as you master the steps.

The safest way is to put the smelting work in the hinterland of the Qi State, that is, the Zhou Dynasty in Chang'an City, if the enemy can obtain these technologies from Chang'an, it means that the high-level of the Qi State has been decayed.

The construction of the occupied area requires a huge amount of human resources, and these people not only include the laborers of the original Xin clans, but also need to send a large number of supervisors from the Qi State.

If you use the army to do this, it will greatly affect the training progress of the Qi army's recruits.

Therefore, Yang decided to recruit thousands of people from among the existing Qi citizens to specialize in the supervision of labor.

Extracting thousands of people from the original nearly 100,000 citizens of Qi is a very complicated project.

If there is no detailed planning, it is likely to affect the current living conditions of Qi country, and it is not conducive to this year's cultivation.

After all, the foundation of the Qi State is the agricultural technology that was ahead of this era.

Agriculture is the top priority of Qi State, and Yang Hao thought about it for a long time when he was in Xincheng.

The solution he came up with was to lease the cattle seized by Youxin to the peasants for a fee, and as long as the peasants could pay the rent, the cow could be said to be the private property of a peasant before the lease expired.

As for the calves born by a cow, the farmer can fully and always own the calf as long as he pays a certain amount of money.

Although the Youxin clan is not mainly agricultural, the number of domesticated cattle in its tribe is quite considerable, but these cattle are not ploughing cattle, but used to pull carts, or beef cattle for food.

In the entire occupied area, the number of such cattle is not less than 5,000, counting the wild cattle operating in the wild, theoretically the number of cultivated cattle that Qi can obtain can be doubled.

Counting the original number of cultivated cattle in Qi State, more than 10,000 cultivated cattle can fully ensure that farmers can have at least one cultivated cattle available in each household.

This will greatly increase the speed of wasteland reclamation, even if there are fewer people to cultivate the land, at least the efficiency will not be much slower than before.

In addition, the occupied area will also farm, although its efficiency may not be as efficient as the local side, but mosquitoes are also meat in small sizes, and as long as the output can ensure the consumption of those laborers, it will not cause too heavy a burden on Qi Guo9.

As long as the roads in the occupied areas are paved, the territory of the Youxin clan will be firmly controlled by the Qi State, and then vigorously support the development of local agriculture, which will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Yang Hao's plan was very detailed, at the beginning of March of the second year of Hongwu, the court of Qi conscripted 5,000 recruits from the original citizens, counting the original 3,000 troops, the standing army of Qi had expanded to 8,000 people.

With such a huge military force, in terms of the population of Qi State, it can definitely be called a reckless army.

It's just that these more than 8,000 people, it is impossible for all of them to be elite divisions, Yang Hao feels that as long as these 5,000 recruits can be guaranteed to reach the current level of 30% of veterans, in terms of defense, Qi State can guarantee the absolute security of the existing territory.

In just a few years, the Qi Kingdom will be proud of the crowd, and there will no longer be an opponent like this.

Yang Hao has this confidence, and this confidence comes from the material foundation of Qi State's prosperity in the Middle Earth Tribes.

To put it bluntly, the food of Qi can feed more people, and there are enough things to support itself to support such an army that is only responsible for fighting.

Maybe there are people who are born brave in this world, but Yang Hao believes in the training of the day after tomorrow, and the soldiers who come out of the regular army of Qi are first-class brave men in any tribe.

The expansion of the army also changed the military system of Qi.

The rank of officer had been raised from the highest battalion commander to regiment commander, and the 8,000-strong army was divided into four regiments.

It's just that although this regiment leader is the best commander, he has also been more restricted than before.

The military power is currently firmly in the hands of Yang Hao, unless there is a war, these four regiment commanders can only stay in Chang'an City, and there is no way to mobilize a single soldier.

Although there are some drawbacks, their fortune and status have been greatly improved.

Yang Hao allowed them to choose a location near Chang'an City to build their own manor, as long as it did not exceed the level of the palace, whatever they wanted, and even the number of their servants increased from the original number to more than twenty, it can be said that they are the most luxurious group of people except for Yang Hao, the emperor.

What is the purpose of being a soldier and fighting a war with Yang Hao to fight the world, isn't it just to make your life better.

Now Yang Hao has given them status and enjoyment, although they can't eat and live in the barracks like before, but now it is enough.

Anyway, when the time comes, it is still themselves who lead the troops to fight, and they can enjoy it in Chang'an City at ordinary times, in their eyes, in this world, except for Chang'an, the rest of the places are outside the world.

According to the official statement of the Qi State, those places are barbarian lands, not kingly, no different from savages, and they will give up the luxury of Chang'an City when their heads cramp, and they will run to those places with nothing to do.

Yang Hao is not afraid of the generals being greedy for money, as the saying of later generations said that civil officials do not love money, and generals are not afraid of death, and the world will be peaceful.

After all, military generals pin their heads to their belts to help them fight the world, if he reprimands them as harshly as he asks civil officials, then he Yang Hao is not human.

Enjoy it honestly when you should enjoy it, as long as you go to the battlefield to win the battle for Lao Tzu, you are a good soldier, a good general, and a good courtier in the eyes of Yang Hao.

After the recruits were assigned to their respective garrisons, the Miao people in the south also came all the way to Chang'an City.

When these Miao people watched the huge army of uniformly dressed and brightly armored people pass by them, the shock in their hearts could not be described in words.

Only now did they know how wise their original approach was, and what a terrible disaster it would be if they had fought with the Qi people regardless of the fact that such an army had entered Sanmiao.

It's just that they don't know that what passes by them is just some recruits, just useless goods, and the real combat effectiveness can only be described as the five scum of war.

Yang Hao didn't know that the Qi army had a normal army movement, but the frightened Miao envoys.
