The original 600,000 households and population of more than 3.4 million people in Yonghe and Yonghe Prefectures, plus the disaster victims and poor people brought by Kang Peng from Luoyang, as well as Dong Zhuojun's soldiers, the total population has been close to 4.5 million, accounting for about one-tenth of the population at the end of the Han Dynasty. There are more than 800,000 acres of fertile land and nearly 3 million acres of dry land that have been developed in Yonghe and Yonghe Prefectures, and there are still more wastelands that have not been cultivated, and there are many forests, minerals, rivers, and lakes.

After last night's banquet, Kang Peng, despite the fatigue of coming from afar, personally sent the happy rich merchants of the Chang'an Shi clan out of the gate, and discussed with the strategists for another night. As soon as the sky was bright, Kang Peng got up and came to the Chang'an Mansion and issued a series of orders that shocked Yonghe.

First of all, Kang Peng made adjustments to the official positions of his subordinates, some were demoted and some were promoted, and some useless official posts were abolished, so as to avoid the overlap of powers and improve the efficiency of military and political affairs. In terms of internal affairs, Jia Xu still served as a military advisor, assisting Kang Peng in commanding the whole army, making suggestions, deciding military strategies, and consulting on military and political affairs; Chen Gong served as Jia Xu's deputy, and Dong Zhuojun joined the army and was also in charge of weapons production and development. Li Ru served as the minister of Yongzhou, responsible for military logistics production, in charge of the treasury and the coordination of resources and manpower, the appointment of low-level officials, and the issuance of all government decrees; Sima Lang served as Li Ru's deputy, serving as the chief officer, and was also in charge of road construction and people's education. Lu Su was in charge of foreign affairs, business development, and communication with local wealthy merchants. Zao was only in charge of the reclamation of Tuntian, and was crowned as the governor of Tuntian, and was also in charge of animal husbandry. Even Wenhua Hou Huatuo was also given a medical order, and Kang Peng's order to him was to train a group of qualified doctors for future needs. Wu Yi, Wu Ban and Li Su respectively served as the state capital and guarded strategic places.

In terms of military affairs, Kang Peng ordered to recruit middle-aged men from the disaster victims to join the army, adjust the age structure of the army, all soldiers over the age of 35 were discharged, some money and food were distributed, and five acres of wasteland were reclaimed, which was exempted from taxation for three years. Robbery', Kang Peng said that he was not allowed to rob, but he knew the temper of these eight masters of Xiliangqiu, these words were just for the people, but what Kang Peng didn't expect was that the retired soldiers of the Xiliang Army did not need to rob women at all, in this widow remarried to the usual Han Dynasty, it was the women of the victims who took the initiative to post the retired soldiers upside down, in order to find a safe place, many retired soldiers married two or three wives, which Kang Peng did not expect. Soldiers under the age of 18 return home, become reserve soldiers, regularly go to the army to participate in training every month, can participate in the war at any time during the war, and those who have no home to return all participate in military production, and receive cultural education in their spare time.

Contrary to the expectations of Kang Peng, Jia Xu and others, Dong Zhuojun after a period of adjustment, the number of troops did not decrease but increased, the victims saw that Dong Zhuojun received so many preferential treatment after leaving the army, land, money, food and wives, and there were not hot eyes, as long as the victims reached the age requirements, they all signed up for Dong Zhuojun, and many poor people in Yonghe and the two states also signed up to participate. The most sought-after is the position of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry retired 20,000, and cleaned up a batch of sick old horses and sold them to the people, leaving less than 10,000 cavalry positions, but there are more than 100,000 people competing, so that Dong Zhuojun can calmly select qualified cavalry. The competition among the Black Cavalry was also fierce, and all the rest were kicked to the Flying Bear Army to serve as infantry.

A month later, Dong Zhuojun's army was adjusted, because of the insufficient supply of horses, the number of Xiliang iron cavalry who pursued excellence was reduced, from 100,000 to 90,000, led by Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Zhang Xiu and Niu Fu as deputies, 60,000 were stationed in Chang'an, and 30,000 were stationed in Jincheng to defend the threat of the northwest. The black cavalry was expanded to 60,000, led by Xu Rong, with Zhang Liao and Xu Huang as deputies, stationed at Tongguan and Qingni Pass to defend against the threat of Luoyang and Jingzhou; Kang Peng originally wanted Zhang Liao to be the commander of the black cavalry, but he couldn't withstand the advice of Jia Xu and Li Ru, and he still reinstated Xu Rongguan, who was loyal to Boss Dong, which was considered cronyism. The Flying Bear Army has expanded the most, the number has reached 250,000, led by Li Dao, Wei Yan, Guo Yan, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji and others as deputies, 100,000 are stationed in Chang'an, and the others are stationed in Meridian Valley, Wuzhangyuan and Jincheng, Kang Peng originally wanted Wei Yan to work in the cavalry, but he didn't know what he was thinking, and insisted on going to Meridian Valley to bring the infantry, saying that he wanted to train an elite mountain soldier for Dong Taishi, and Kang Peng also went by him. Gao Shun continued to lead the trapping camp and was also in charge of law and order in Chang'an; Sun Ce was kicked by Kang Peng to the Yellow River to recruit young sailors, and began to train Dong Zhuojun's first batch of sailors from an early age.

At the same time that Dong Zhuojun solved the internal problems, Kang Peng issued a recruitment order to the world, recruiting virtuous people from all over the world, whether they were born in the scholar clan or civilians, as long as they have a skill, they can get jobs in Yongliang and Liangzhou, and those who are outstanding can also become officials. As Kang Peng estimated, the effect of the recruitment order on the scholars was not very good, the scholars were frightened by Kang Peng's performance in Luoyang, no scholar dared to come to Chang'an to send him to death, none of the famous Confucian literati came, only a few nerds from Yonghe and the two states came to sign up, and there were some broken scholars who had no way out, all of them belonged to the kind of people who were full of sage books and were incompetent, Kang Peng was not angry, they were rewarded first, and they were all named idle posts in the book, In order to show his determination to seek talent, he only waited for the opening of schools in the future, and then let them teach students to read and write.

The recruitment order is not without benefits, because Kang Peng treats businessmen and craftsmen well, many skilled craftsmen come from all over the country to sign up, excellent blacksmiths, farming experts, technicians, carpenters, Langzhong, etc., etc., three teachings and nine streams, everything, Kang Peng also rewarded one by one, and set aside a special place outside Chang'an City to build a housing workshop and let them produce various materials. Fortunately, Dong Boss's two living treasure brothers have made a great contribution this time, they looted the savings of the Han Dynasty palace for hundreds of years when they evacuated Luoyang, and Kang Peng also unceremoniously emptied the Luoyang official treasury when he left Luoyang.

With the close cooperation of Ai Quan and Ma Zhan, the four-wheeled carriage and tables and chairs were quickly produced, the four-wheeled carriage only did a little bit of tricks and feet on the steering of the front wheels, but the load capacity and stability were far better than the two-wheeled carriages, very popular with the merchant coachmen, tables and chairs are a must-have for every family, as long as the two new products and honeycomb coal are produced, they will be snapped up immediately, so that Chang'an's already prosperous market will go to a higher level, and it is expected that the cost will be recovered and profitable within three months, and the livelihood of thousands of poor people can also be solved. It also made Ai Quan and Ma Zhan grateful to Kang Peng, Ai Quan heard that Kang Peng was going to build a school, and immediately ran to Kang Peng and patted his chest, saying that the land of all schools in Chang'an City was purchased by him and dedicated to Taishi. Ma Zhan even offered a night lion horse purchased from the Huns at a high price to Kang Peng to show his gratitude and boast that this horse can travel thousands of miles a day. It's a pity that Kang Peng is used to riding that black childish horse, and he doesn't like white, so he gave Zhao Yun a reward for the night lion horse.

In the busy, time flies quickly, in a blink of an eye, it is the fifteenth day of the first month of the second year of Chuping, the Lantern Festival, Kang Peng has not put down his work, although the development of Chang'an has gradually been on the right track, but the burden on Kang Peng's shoulders has not been reduced at all, the food for the victims in the winter is still tight, and they have to prepare farm tools for the coming year, and the weapons and equipment of the recruits need to be produced, these are Kang Peng's headaches.

"Xianggong, today is the holiday, you can rest for a while." Cai Wenji walked into the study lightly and said softly to Kang Peng, who was still working under the lamp.

Kang Peng didn't raise his head, "It's okay, the prime minister will rest after approving these official documents." ”

Cai Wenji smiled, sat aside and waited, but after waiting for a long time, seeing that Kang Peng put down the official letter and picked up the letter again, without the slightest intention of stopping, Cai Wenji's Miss Jiao had another seizure, and twisted Kang Peng's thick arm fiercely, "Old ugly ghost, Mrs. Ben told you to rest, didn't you hear?" ”

Kang Peng was in pain, quickly put down his work, hugged Cai Wenji into his arms, and kissed her tender face, "Good, Benxiang will finish his business soon, you go to rest first, stay in Benxiang and then go to your room, and then fight with you......"

Cai Wenji's face was flushed, she quickly covered Kang Peng's mouth and punched him twice, "Nonsense!" Today is the Lantern Festival, and I want you to take me out to see the lanterns. ”

Kang Peng frowned and said, "What's so nice about the lamp?" You really want to see it, and Xiang'er and the others should take some of their own soldiers out to see. ”

"No." Cai Wenji said coquettishly: "Bad husband, since you arrived in Chang'an, you haven't taken me shopping once, and you are not as good to me as before." ”

Kang Peng couldn't refuse his beloved wife's request, so he obediently changed into civilian clothes and went out with Cai Wenji, and when he was about to reach the gate, a few little girls who were having a snowball fight in the courtyard stopped them, Sun Shangxiang tilted his head and asked very majestically: "Bad master, Sister Cai, where are you going?" Zhen Mi and Wu Xin also shouted: "Yes, yes, go there?" ”

Kang Peng was about to speak, Cai Wenji grabbed him and stepped forward to pat Sun Shangxiang's little face, "Xiangxiang is good, my sister and Taishi will go on business, you take Mi'er and Xin'er to play at home, and the sisters will come back soon." ”

Sun Shangxiang pursed his lips, "Liar, what kind of business are you doing so late?" It was clear that my sister wanted to go out with the bad master to see the lights, and she didn't want to take us to get in the way. Sun Shangxiang pouted again: "My sister married the Taishi, and she also learned badly from the Taishi." ”

Cai Wenji was told the central thing by Sun Shangxiang, her pretty face was slightly red, and she was about to argue, but something happened that made Cai Wenji angry - Sun Shangxiang threw herself into Kang Peng's arms! hugged Kang Peng's neck and said coquettishly: "Bad master, you take us to see the lights, if my sister beats you again at night, when Xiangxiang grows up and marries you, you can divorce your sister." ”

Zhen Mi and Wu Xin also hugged Kang Peng left and right, and said coquettishly: "Taishi, take us there, we will marry you when we grow up." ”

was hugged by three little beauties, and heard their soft words promise for life, Kang Peng almost blurted out yes, but seeing Cai Wenji's pretty face that was colder than the cold wind, Kang Peng swallowed the word "good" that was about to be exported. "Xiangxiang, Mi'er, Xin'er, you guys are playing at home honestly, Benxiang and your sister really have something to do."

Time has been close to the time, the streets of Chang'an are still crowded, the lights are flickering, lively and extraordinary, every household hangs out all kinds of lanterns, there are all kinds of animals, flowers, melons and fruits, different forms, decorate Chang'an City like the sea of lights, the most eye-catching is the dragon lantern that is more than ten zhang long, folklore, the lantern watcher drilled from the dragon lantern, you can be prosperous, there are many young couples who believe it, every time they drill the dragon lantern, they will smile, a joyful scene.

It's a pity that Kang Peng couldn't be happy, because-"Old ugly ghost, I see you wanted to agree just now, Xiang'er and they are only ten years old, do you still want to harm them?" Cai Wenji asked viciously.

Kang Peng had a bitter face, "Wen Ji, Benxiang has said it more than a dozen times, Benxiang won't treat them badly, it's enough for Benxiang to have you." Cai Wenji was willing to believe it, snorted heavily, and turned her head to look elsewhere.

After all, Cai Wenji is still a little girl, and it didn't take long for her to be attracted by the colorful lights, and she shouted from time to time to get closer to see, but she was tired of the soldiers who protected her safety, and followed her all over the street, for fear that she would encounter danger.

Kang Peng has no interest in the lights, he is still thinking about his modern knowledge and what can be learned, although Dong Zhuojun has strong military strength, there are still many things that are lacking, such as special forces, scouts, engineers, etc. are all arms that need to be developed urgently; Especially in the area of intelligence, Dong Zhuojun can be said to be completely blank, and it is also a department that needs a lot of investment; And hot air balloons, which are also possible in this era. In terms of internal affairs, it is imperative for culture and education to inspire people's wisdom, and the assembly line production model can also be used for reference......

Kang Peng sighed and took his mind back, these things are complicated, and they will not be able to do it for a while, so they will discuss it with Jia Xu and Li Ru, they have much more experience than themselves.

At this time, the first watch was struck, and the bronze bell on the highest bearing terrace in Chang'an City also rang leisurely, "Knock." "Boom." "Boom." The crowd let out a burst of cheers, according to folk tradition, this is the end of winter, the beginning of spring, and people are busy for the new year.

Kang Peng suddenly smiled, and said in his heart, winter has passed, will spring be far away?
