Chapter 485: In One Day
Liu Yi returned triumphantly, and reunited with the family after a long absence after returning to Beiping, which had countless parting feelings, but only rested at home for three days, Liu Yi began to go to the state capital every day, at this time Jizhou was fixed, the situation was not completely stable, he could not help but ask about political affairs, and he already had a few ideas in his mind during the battle of Jizhou, and now it is time to implement it.
Today, when he walked into the state capital, Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu were already sitting on the council, after Liu Yijun's victory in the battle of Jizhou, the battalions were extremely damaged, and they must try to replenish them.
"The old lady's gift is very heavy, and I will thank the lord." That night, after Liu Yi and Cai Yan talked about staying in Yan Dan, yesterday Liu's mother invited the two of their wives to a banquet, and gave this thing away, and the two ladies were envious when they heard it that day, but this was the birthday gift of the husband's father-in-law's mother, and it was useless for them to think about it, but now they were overjoyed, and they would naturally mention it in front of the two of them, how could Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu not know the preciousness of this thing, and they were also extremely grateful to the lord in their hearts.
"What's so thankful for this, Zhicai and Wen He have worked so hard for perseverance, and they don't know how to rest when they return to Beijing after the big victory, I hope this Yan Dan can be used by men." Liu Yi was very sincere in his words, and he let these subordinates who went with him to rest after returning to Beijing, but the two military advisors were already here at this time, but they were quite ashamed to be at home for three days.
"My lord, I and Zhicai said that there were conscriptions in all states a year ago, and it is not appropriate to recruit them at this time, but there are five or six hundred thousand people in Goguryeo, and there can be thirty or forty thousand if you want to be strong, and this place is bitterly cold, and the people are quite strong, and if you refine it, you can become a strong army, I don't know what the lord's will will be." The two of them smiled when they heard this, and they didn't need to spend too much time on this matter between the three of them, so they immediately brought up the matter that the two had just discussed, and it was actually a conscription from Goguryeo!
"Zhicai, Goguryeo is already the territory of our Han Dynasty at this time, and it is now assigned to Pingzhou, if it is levied with 30,000 or 40,000 strong, will it be harmful to production?" Liu Yi said this in his mouth, he really didn't regard those sticks as people in his heart, they didn't do less things to help and abuse back then, and later claimed that how much of my Huaxia essence came from them, Lao Tzu will merge you now, see if there are still those fart things, but Lang Sheng is unwilling to do the things that dry up and fish.
"Rest assured, my lord, we have already consulted Xianhe in detail about this matter, and it is precisely what he said that will not hinder us from discussing this." When Xi Zhicai heard this, how could they not know what the lord was doing.
"That's good, Zhicai Wenhe is arranged, but these people must be scattered and incorporated into various battalions, and they must not form an army alone, not my race, their hearts will be different." Liu Yi groaned slightly, and then agreed with the words of the two military advisors, and of course he had to make the due explanation.
"Even if you add these 30,000 or 40,000 people, it is not enough for the vacancy of our army, this time in Jizhou in addition to 10,000 cavalry, the infantry army also has 70,000 soldiers, but the Yuan family has been in Jizhou for a long time, deep-rooted, I am afraid that it is rare for a while, so I dare not move lightly, but the letters of the generals are coming." Jia Xu pointed to the thick bamboo slips on the table and said to Liu Yi, these are all letters from four places.
"Hehe, it is common sense that the generals have this heart, but because the strength is a temporary situation, at this time, we should try our best to ensure the needs of Jizhou, let the battalions stationed here be full first, and the rest will be made up in the future. As a general, who doesn't want to have as many under his command as possible? However, there are also priorities, and at this time, it seems that the Jizhou garrison is the most important thing at present.
"The lord sees it, I will do the same, I think the generals should die this time." Xi Zhicai said with a smile, borrowing the power of the lord is indeed the best way in front of him.
"There is another thing to discuss with the two military divisions, the former Jizhou general Gao Ran Juyi has the talent to command the army, and he can also use it for me, but these two people are not Yan Liangwen and ugly, and they don't know deeply, if they are used in Jizhou, they are afraid that they will not be able to be trusted, and it seems inappropriate to use them in Sizhou, so it is quite difficult to decide." Gao Lan and Juyi came to Beiping with Liu Yi this time, but they have not been able to figure out how to settle them, with the talents of the two, they can be the commander of a battalion, but now Liu Yi does not have so many soldiers.
"I can't imagine that the lord will also have a time when he doesn't know how to use people, but the two are really difficult to arrange, in my opinion, it is better to let Gao Ran be the deputy of General Zhang He, Ju Yi is the deputy of General Xu Huang, the second battalion of Long Xiang and Huwei are the elite of our army, and they will make meritorious contributions in every big war, and the identity of this deputy commander will not disgrace them, and Gongming Junyi is a heavy general of our army, and he is loyal to the lord, so it must be enough to suppress the two, and then he can also let the two of them train recruits first, and they can be more able to test their ability." In terms of knowing people and employing people, several military advisors have great trust in the vision of the lord, and now they are quite surprised to see him embarrassed by this.
Xu Huang and Zhang He have followed Liu Yi for a long time, and his ability to unify the army is even the best in the army, and in addition to Gan Ning and Zhao Yun, the two generals in the army are the highest, and they must be able to shock the two generals of Gao Ran Juyi, because of the battle of Yecheng that year, Zhang He gritted his teeth when he mentioned Ju Yi, and he couldn't let him go to the Tiger Guard Camp.
Discussed with the two military divisions for a morning in the state military, lunch in the state capital, after a short rest, then came to the side hall to listen to Chen Qun Zhong Xiang and others on the state political affairs report, originally Liu Yi had implemented the policy of encouraging childbirth, the people have children The government is rewarded and will improve with the increase in childbirth, for example, if a family has more than three children, then they can get financial compensation from the government every year, but the previous instructions are for men, and now Chen Qun and Zhong Xiang have proposed to add women to their list, This made Liu Yi very relieved, he had such an idea at the beginning, but he did not implement it due to considerable resistance, and now he took the initiative to mention it from the bottom up, which proves that the foundation he laid before still plays a role, of course, it is allowed.
The year before last, the Agricultural Affairs Department promoted a new planting method, and there were a lot of new farm tools for ploughing the land, which made the harvest of several states last year increased a lot, at that time this was also one of the reasons why Liu Yi sent troops to fight with Yuan Shao, the people's harvest was more, and the income of the state capital was also greatly increased, but due to the consumption of the Jizhou War, there was no more surplus than in previous years, but this has made Liu Yi overjoyed. This shows the progress made over the years.
Zhang Zhao, Xu Shu, Guo Tu, Tian Yu, Jian Yong and others were in charge of the administration of Jizhou, they were very conscientious, came up with a lot of ideas that were conducive to the development of production after the war, and also declared a series of preferential measures in Beijing, such as reducing the taxes of farmers in the two years after the war, setting up agricultural machinery offices in each county, and the government provided farming cattle and farm tools and other things for the people to use free of charge, and then slowly changed to rent, especially after a few people discussed and felt that although the administrative law of Youzhou was good, it could not be copied in Jizhou and therefore put forward a lot of suggestions. It is very targeted, one of which is to increase the production of sea salt, all of which also makes Liu Yi feel that he is using people properly. The fact that subordinate officials can boldly put forward their own suggestions is a situation that he would like to see.
I have been discussing with Chen Qun and other officials for a long time about the matter of Jizhou, and I have agreed to many of the practices they proposed, and at this time, Tian'er's investigation for several months has also yielded results, and the officials at the county and county level are basically law-abiding, Yuan Shao has done quite effectively in this regard, and Liu Yi entrusted this matter to Guo Jia, so that he must act publicly, and the evidence must be ironclad! In addition, Liu Yi also ordered that these local officials in Jizhou should be sent to Youzhou Academy for further study on a regular basis to learn the advanced experience and governance methods of various places, and would arrange for them to go to various places for on-the-spot inspections, that is, at this time, Liu Yi made up his mind to vigorously study the improvement of papermaking technology on the basis of Cai Lun of the previous dynasty.
Although he came from later generations, Liu Yi is not a jack of all trades, let alone came with any system, but he can attach importance to many talents with special abilities in the people, and these people can often give him a lot of surprises under his inspiration, such as the design of farm tools, waterwheels, including the warships of the Flying Tiger Army in recent years, have benefited from this method. His idea is to imitate the later generations of Di Bao, now used mostly bamboo slips, which will make the information transmission not easy, the workload of officials increases, often an article is a few catties of bamboo slips, diligent officials read even more than 100 catties every day, which not only has an impact on the efficiency of political affairs, but also a kind of resistance in the promotion of culture.
Silk silk can only be used in some special places, such as the military, large-scale use is not realistic, if you can vigorously promote the improvement and popularization of paper, Liu Yi can set up flying pigeon stations in each county and township, so that the state government's decree can be quickly issued, the experience of various places can also speed up the speed of promotion, and let him understand the public sentiment everywhere as soon as possible, Liu Yi is not stingy in these aspects, of course, the specific things will be discussed by Chen Qun and others after the implementation of the details, popularization will also take a long time, But after all, it was a good start.
After this discussion, it has come to the time when the sky is dark, and the state government also has time to go to and from work, but many officials are very diligent here, and often take the initiative to extend the time, which also makes Liu Yi sigh, and strictly stipulates, the health of these officials is a wealth to him, and he must not ask carefully, the state government's exclusive sanatorium is set up for this, this move has long made the officials feel the carefulness of the lord, and also makes them do their best.
After a busy day, this dinner is definitely going home for use, and work also needs to combine work and rest is Liu Yi has repeatedly emphasized, and he is still thinking about getting some fitness equipment or entertainment projects to improve the conditions of officials at work, but everything still needs to be gradual.
Hit the horse to their own door, the family are all stepped forward to greet each other, the horses of Liu Liu, Liu Qi and others were taken away to feed and recuperate, as for the dark cloud cover snow has its own special stable, his washing and feeding are Liu Yi himself, perennial so, today Liu Yi got off the horse and saw that there was a frame in front of the carriage quite eye-catching, these days I learned that General Liu has been fighting hard for a long time, in addition to inviting Liu Mansion no visitors to disturb, asked the family to know that it is Luoyang Taishou Zhang Ji's frame, he came to Beijing on business this time, at this time with the guest hall.
