"The lower officials understand that they must strictly guard against death and protect the territory and the people!" Lu Fang hurriedly said.

Hearing this, Li Xin paused, and then took a sip of the tea on the table. This bite made him a little surprised, because this is tea and not tea soup.

But he didn't know that the whole Huashan army was now affected by him and Wang Meng, and basically no one drank tea soup anymore, basically drinking this kind of tea. It is said that this has become a popular trend under the rule of the Huashan Army.

Of course, there are many reasons for this, the most important one is because making tea is much more convenient than boiling tea soup, which can save a lot of time. Even the most ordinary people can afford to drink.

"In the next time, how are you going to take care of this Xiayang County?" After taking two more sips, he asked.

"Settle the people first, agriculture second, recruit displaced people to return to their own places, register their household registration status, and allocate land to resume production! At the same time, pay close attention to the four borders to prevent anyone from crossing the border! Lu Fang replied.

"Very good, as long as you can do this, basically there will be no problem in this Xiayang County! Do a good job! As an official, for the benefit of one party, in the future, the people of Xiayang County will remember your kindness! When Li Xin heard this, he was very satisfied and encouraged.

"Yes, the lower officials will follow the teachings of the adults!"

Here in Xiayang County, Li Xin stayed for more than an hour, and waited until the accompanying soldiers had rested for a while before leaving. When leaving, he deliberately rushed to the edge of the Yellow River and went south along the bank, preparing to go to Dali County.

"It is worthy of being the mother river, the birthplace of Chinese culture, and when I see this Yellow River, I seem to have a special sense of intimacy! Who knows, even after thousands of years, this great river still flows on the earth, feeding the people on both sides! "At this time, the Yellow River was much clearer than in later generations, but the flow was a lot. Walking on this shore and listening to the sound of the waves, Li Xin couldn't help but feel surging.

Along the way, the place they passed through was a plain land, and because this place was close to the bank of the Yellow River, there were many more people. After all, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water! For many people, the Yellow River is one of the ways to make a living, especially during the famine.

There is also a Heyang County between Xiayang County and Dali County, but this county is relatively less important in comparison. Because it is not as close to the bank of the Yellow River as Xiayang and Dali County, and at the same time, it was once incorporated into Xiayang County.

Because it is only more than 50 miles away from Xiayang County, it is basically under the influence of Xiayang County. Therefore, only a hundred soldiers were stationed in this place, the purpose of which was to maintain law and order in the city, and at the same time to be responsible for patrolling the river. Li Xin only stayed there for a short time, and then went straight south.

Dali County is more than 100 miles away from Heyang County, and it is also the seat of Fengyi County, so the scale of this place is naturally different. The place under the current rule of the Huashan Army is, basically, the largest in this county, and the best defensive measures.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Meng has already moved the government affairs system of the Huashan Army to this place. This is equivalent to him personally sitting here, plus Liu Xiaohai and others are also working here, and for a while, the center of gravity of the Huashan Army has shifted from Huayin County to this Dali County.

Now on the south bank of Weishui, all that remains are wounded soldiers and civilians, as well as many prisoners captured last time. And when things are completely settled on the North Shore, the captives will slowly move over.

Li Xin entered the county seat of Dali at sunset, and then went to see Wang Meng.

"I also know what you said, but now that Guanzhong has a population adjustment of zero, it is really not an easy thing to restore all these wastelands to farmland. As for the fortification you mentioned, I agree that Shimen Pass and Diaoling Pass are extremely important, and I will arrange materials to repair the wall as soon as possible. After listening to what Li Xin had seen and heard along the way, Wang Meng was also a little helpless.

"Yes! We are short of everything, especially people and food! If you sit and eat empty, I'm afraid it won't work! Li Xin also understood his pressure, so it was not good to say anything more.

"Now that we are short of manpower, in my opinion, how about removing Fuxi County? Its land was divided into Zheng County and Huayin County respectively, and then, Uncle Zhou was transferred here, and he served as the commander of Dali County, what do you think? After thinking for a moment, Wang suddenly made a proposal.

"Remove Fuxi County?" Hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he hadn't thought about this problem before.

After thinking about it carefully at this time, I felt very reasonable. After all, the place on the south bank of Weishui is not particularly large, and now that there is a shortage of manpower, it is completely possible to drop some places.

"You have a point! So do it! In addition, since our focus has shifted, some things have to change. Well, let Uncle Qin take over as the county commander of Zheng County, transfer Uncle Wu to Huayin County as the county commander, and you are in charge of Dali County, Uncle Zhou's words, let him go to the current county order! What do you think? After thinking about it for a while, Li Xin added a little more of his thoughts.

"In this way, there are a lot more people. You've got a lot more complete ideas, so let's do it! Wang Meng groaned for a moment, and finally agreed.

"Now that it's decided, let's do it quickly! You've written the paperwork, and I'll make arrangements as soon as possible after I use the seal. There is no objection to this matter, and Li Xindang will make a decision. After saying that, he wanted to turn around and leave.

"Wait, there's one more thing, I think you should think about it too!" Seeing this, Wang Meng hurriedly stopped him.

"What else?" Li Xin said curiously.

"The scale of our Huashan Army is getting bigger and bigger, and it is already very inconvenient to do things according to the previous set. The civil officials are okay here, after all, the county orders are all carried out by you and me. But now there are more and more soldiers in the army, and after this expansion, it will reach 20,000, and when those wounded recover in the future, I am afraid that there will be more than 20,000. If you govern the military again as a captain, I'm afraid it won't work! Wang Meng motioned for him to sit down first, and then said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Li Xin immediately understood what he meant. Indeed, his position as a lieutenant was set up according to the standard of commanding 5,000 people. However, after several expansions, the Huashan Army now has far more than 5,000 people.

In the past, I was so busy with the big war that I didn't have time to adjust. After all, if this is done in a big war, it will inevitably lead to chaos in the military system, which will affect the combat effectiveness of the Huashan Army. But now that you've settled down for the time being, it's time to think about it.

Moreover, in the past, everyone didn't feel anything, purely because the entire Huashan Army was under his governance. Therefore, whether there is or is not the position of captain is not so important in everyone's hearts. As long as everyone knows that it is him Li Xin above, and all the orders are given by him, everyone will abide by it.

However, with the expansion of the territory of the Huashan Army and the gradual regularization, the contact between them in the future, and the exchange of documents and orders between the garrisons in various places will inevitably involve the issue of this title and rank. At that point, there may be a lot of confusion.

And if the order is given by him Li Xin personally, there is basically no problem, and the Huashan army will abide by it. However, if the rank of those generals below is unknown, once they encounter a big war, it will inevitably lead to the phenomenon of multiple orders. For example, do the soldiers of the first battalion listen to the orders of the captains of the other battalions?

"You have a point, and it's time to solve this problem. I'll go back and think about it first and see how I can solve it! Thinking of the seriousness of this problem, Li Xin felt that it was necessary to consider it carefully.

"Okay, you go back first! If anything, I'll come back to you! Wang Meng saw that he understood what he meant, so he didn't say anything more.

Li Xin took the problem and temporarily lived in the original Taishou Mansion. The original Taishou here in Dali County, the son of Yu Zun, died during the last Zhou Tong's attack on Dali County. Then, the Fu Qin court sent another Taishou over, but the last time Fu Jian and their defeat retreated, this Taishou also ran away. As a result, there is only an empty house left.

I have to say that this is really enjoyable, the house is large, and the layout is not bad. When Na Taishou fled, it is said that he only took his own family with him, but left a group of slaves behind. At this time, these people were sent by Wang Meng to serve Li Xin.

Li Xinke had never had such a good life, he was quite unaccustomed to it for a while, and he had something to do, so he sent these people down directly. Moreover, his own soldiers also took over the defense of this mansion, for fear that they would be unfavorable to Li Xin.

"How do you design it? The squads and brigades were set up out of place, they were originally improvised, and now they should be changed. Moreover, the system designed this time should be able to be used for a long time, after all, there will be more and more wars in the future, and it is impossible to redesign it after every battle! Li Xin sat in the study that was originally too guarded, biting the pen and thinking about it.

This is an important question, and there is no room for sloppiness, so he writes and draws on the paper, often without writing a few words, and then crumples the paper and throws it out. After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't come up with a specific solution, so I couldn't help but feel a little angry in my heart, and stood up and walked back and forth in the room.

After walking for a while, I simply pushed open the door and went to the courtyard, ready to find inspiration.
