Zheng Hao saw that although the first suggestion was approved by everyone, but also had the suspicion of being an afterthought, if he couldn't come up with a good suggestion, then when he first arrived in the base area, this image would be greatly discounted, and he mentioned the spirit at that time, and said again: "King Chuang, the commander, I have a word for the development of the base area now, I don't know if I would like to see it?" ”

Actually, Zheng Hao was a lot worried, what he said forward was actually very pragmatic and advanced, but he just met Lu Shi, a more advanced traverser.

In fact, at any time, not all the literati are good at amplifying their words, and they are misleading the country, but this court values those who are good at amplifying their words, and those who are practical are not tolerant of those so-called Confucians who guide the country, and some scholars still have a certain insight, such as Li Yan in the late Ming Dynasty is an example, if Li Zicheng listens to Li Yan's words, the country may sit firmly, but Li Yan, a practical talent, is still not allowed to talk about Qing and pretend to be a ghost Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance.

Guo Tianxing said with a smile: "These are all their own brothers here, where is there anything that cannot be said?" It's right to say that the brothers are executing, and it's okay to say it's wrong, but it's right. ”

Zheng Hao was encouraged, and said in his spirit: "Although the method we implement first in the countryside and then in the city is good, but you see, this countryside is vast, and I don't know the details of it elsewhere, but I am familiar with this Ganquan, just this Ganquan territory, the circumference is not less than 500 miles, and the population is nearly 100,000. As soon as this Ganquan passes through the stone gate, it is almost the world of horse bandits, and the Ganquan County Government is beyond the reach of the whip at all, not to mention that our strength is still insufficient, but we can't spread the seeds but we don't have the opportunity to serve, but in the end, we can't even collect the seeds. ”

Lu Shi listened, nodded lightly and said: "Mr. is right, after all, our army only has these tens of thousands of men and horses, but there are too many to support, and there is Fuxian first, and then there is Luochuan where Wu Tao led the troops to, and now there is this vast area of Ganquan, and we have to guard against the encirclement and suppression of the government at any time, and the resistance of the landlords is strong, if we really do everything, but we can't, but I don't know what Mr. can do to solve this dilemma?" ”

"Stick to the main points and lead the noodles with points. Abandon remoteness and consolidate vested. ”

Lu Shi's eyes lit up, and he praised loudly: "It's good to stick to the main points, and lead the face with points." It's really incisive to give up remoteness and consolidate vestedness, which is exactly what I can't think of these days. Then he asked, "You can have a detailed plan." ”

In fact, now, Lu Shi has begun to consider its current situation more than once, in a short period of time, with the joint efforts of himself and his brothers, the base area has fought several clever battles, the development of power is too fast, the scope is too large, now it seems to be smooth sailing, the future is bright, in fact, this is all undigested things, once the official army repelled the raid of the Mongol Tatars after the year, free up their hands, and then Zhang Yuan and others to help, then, now the base area that his brothers have worked hard to build has become a mirage, Bi will collapse, once such a situation occurs, the possibility of the people supporting us again is small, after all, the current seems to be strong so that everyone thinks that the backbone of the backbone, but once the strength of this appearance is exposed, it will make many people centrifuge from morality, now we must consider a safe way, for this reason Lu Shi spared no effort to strengthen the construction and protection of the two fundamentals of the Black Tiger Village and Huluyu, but it is a bit laissez-faire to other places.

In fact, Lu Shi doesn't know the current measures of Wu Tao and Mr. Li, and if he knew, he might not be happy.

"But there is no detail, this is just the last two days when I saw the Cao Meng brothers outside the city to implement the king's strategy and felt it." Zheng Hao is also honest, but it is not easy to think of this.

"When I saw that King Chuang was based on the strong order of the landlords and the people to reduce rents and interest rates, the militia system that occurred was to raise soldiers for the people, and to deter or buy the surrounding poles for local security, so I remembered a loophole."

"What vulnerability?"

"Our own soldiers are in the distance of the Black Tiger Village or Huluyu, but this vast Ganquan land is only left with the militia, so that once a pole repeats, invade the fortress, the militia can only assist the landlord to guard for a while, and it will not work for a long time, and our Black Tiger Village is more than 100 miles away from here, and it is more than 300 miles away from the stone gate, once there is an alarm, it is too late to rescue, and once those landlords ask for help and we are unable to rescue, the first we lose our trust in the landlord Haoqiang, they will complain, and second, we lose our trust in the people, They will waver in our hearts. But we chose a place in this Ganquan to live with a standing army, once the place is attacked, we can quickly attack, and we can also guard against the Yan'an official army, so as to win a buffer for our cottage. ”

"It's a huge place, but it's impossible to prevent it." Lu Shi was a rare face and worried.

"So I suggest, first, our forces should stop at Ganquan Shimen in the west, Ganquan County in the north, and in the south, that is, to see the idea of King Chuang, and then in the middle, establish a standing military camp."

All the people in the hall were unwilling to hear this kind of suggestion, so they expressed their suggestions one after another, and finally Chen Che said with pity: "But it is a pity for other places to give up, it is time for us to expand the territory when the officials and troops are weak, and once the officers and soldiers come to their senses, it will be difficult to find such a good opportunity." ”

"Brother Chen's words are both reasonable and unreasonable" After such a conversation, Zheng Hao slowly got used to what everyone thought and said.

"Sir, I am short-sighted, please advise me." Chen Che is used to letting his brothers refute it, in fact, even the king of the cottage can be refuted by everyone speechless, so Zheng Hao saw that Chen Che was not the slightest bit annoyed, and his heart was even more yearning for this group, this is really a group of positive brothers, and there is a very big start-up atmosphere.

At that moment, he was no longer restrained: "In fact, it is inevitable that the official army will attack again, after all, the official army is powerful, even if you have such a tenfold place, it is just a castle in the air, and you are helpless if the official army really wants to level you." ”

Everyone knew this, so they nodded yes together.

"Therefore, we have to hold a few points, the official army is coming, we will consume it with him, and look for an opportunity to drive away the official army, the official army is gone, we will come back, after all, this is the base area that King Chuang said."

In fact, it is not easy for Zheng Hao to have such knowledge, but he can be regarded as a top-notch talent, if he really goes to the army, it is a blessing to break into the army.

Seeing that Zheng Hao was no longer talking, Lu Shi slowly stood up, walked around the lobby with his hands behind his back, and said while thinking about it, this is also a Lu Shi's signature action that everyone in the army is used to, even in that small cave, Lu Shi is also like this, when he has a big idea, he has to walk around in the middle of the ground. Everyone waited with bated breath for King Chuang's decision.

"But what is the war really fought? Now we are weak and fighting with the officials and the army for the people's will and manpower. It goes without saying that the will of the people is self-explanatory, we have the advantage, but what about manpower? Lu Shi moved his fingers and calculated: "Now according to the scope of the Zheng Hao brothers, according to the number of people reported by the Mencius brothers, the people who depend on us outside the city are about 50,000, we still have 80,000 in Fuxian, and Wu Tao brothers will not be less than 80,000." Then we have about 200,000 people, plus more than 30,000 people in our Huluyu, then we have 230,000 people in our sphere of influence. Then he stood down and thought, "That's about it, in fact, if Wu Tao has a population of nearly 100,000 in one place, then Lu Shi will be even more confident."

In this way, I heard a burst of inhalation in the lobby, and Guo Tianxing jumped up all of a sudden, and said in surprise: "What? Now we all have so many mouths? Hahaha. ”

Lu Shi despised him very much, just these 250,000, not to mention the quality, that is, a small county in the future will be two to three times as much as yours, does this make you happy and forgetful?

Zheng Hao also secretly took a breath of cold air, he didn't expect that this army would gather so many Dingkou in just a short period of time when he came to Weinan, he really had the means.

Lu Shi didn't care about the commotion of everyone, and still paced slowly on the ground: "How many people are west of Ganquan Shimen?" "This is for Zheng Hao.

Zheng Hao stood up and said: "Back to King Chuang, according to the county's household register, there should be sixty or seventy thousand, but this is the early year of the Apocalypse, although there are births now, but the number of natural disasters in successive years must be less than the number of times, and there should be 30,000."

"What about the north side of Ganquan?"

Wang Xin didn't know why King Chuang was asking this, but since he had joined the base area, of course he knew everything and said everything. After thinking about it: "After all, it is close to Yan'an, and now there are about 40,000 real numbers." ”

"Well, that's good." Lu Shi nodded. "So as long as we do a good job of reducing rents and interest rates, demarcate wasteland, divide fields, divide land, arrange public security, and let the people have a good living environment, we are letting out our words, and we will collect displaced people, I think the peasants in those two places will definitely come with their families and mouths."

"yes, I didn't think of that." Zheng Hao, Chen Che and others loudly praised King Chuang's quick thinking.

"Ganquan itself is vast and sparsely populated, all of which are several battles of deep loess, and there are several large rivers running through the territory, although there is a great drought, there is also abundant water, as long as you are willing to reclaim, it is a good field." Zheng Hao began to dance, and none of these people knew Ganquan better than himself.

"If we divide the land according to the policy of the base areas, then we will definitely be able to attract the people from the surrounding areas to flock to come, and we will have a large number of people entering, with the entry of displaced people, with the population base, and with the guarantee of land rent, then we can appropriately increase the number of soldiers, as long as there are tens of thousands of strong soldiers in hand, we are not afraid of how many officers and soldiers come."

"With the power of our cottage windmills, irrigation will definitely be a prospect of abundance."

Zhao Si picked it out and said happily.

"I've also heard about the magic of our old camp's windmills, and this is indeed a way to benefit the people." Zheng Hao was even more excited.

Only Lu Shi smiled bitterly. "The windmill is not said to be built, it costs money, although the cottage has some surplus, but the cottage uses money everywhere, and the cost of the windmill really can't come out again."

What should I do about this?

Everyone was staring at each other and was speechless

If you can't think of it, you don't want to, wait for the third uncle Wu Tao to come back and discuss it, Brother Zheng, tell me, where is it appropriate for us to set up a cottage base in Ganquan? ”

Zheng Hao listened to King Chuang's question, and immediately said a feng shui treasure.
