On the second day after Liu Ce arrived in Hanling City, he began to manage the town. Vertex Says X 23 U OM

In a dilapidated official office, temporarily turned into Liu Ce's office, Hong Yingwen placed a dusty book in front of Liu Ce's desk, which recorded the population and materials of Hanling City, as well as the land and minerals of the nearby manor.

Liu Ce picked up the book and blew on the dust on it, and suddenly the gray smoke filled the surroundings, he waved his hand to disperse them, opened the book and read it slowly. At present, the population of Hanling City is 57,000, and there are 14 manors and 7 fortresses. There are 200 waist knives made of pig iron, 140 spears, 35 foot bows, 670 pounds of iron, and all pig iron, and then a bunch of messy weapons such as willow knives, darts, boring handles and other short weapons, but the number is not much, and some even only stay on paper.

Looking at the numbers on these books, Liu Ce frowned, he didn't expect that the armament of a border city was so scarce and erosive, there was not even a piece of leather armor, at least half of those dozens of foot bows could not be used due to maintenance problems, and the border city originally recorded a population of 248,000, but now there are only more than 57,000 left, and they are all counted from the manor farm fortresses in various places, and those big families have already gone to Yuanzhou City, which is a hundred miles away, what is Jiang Xun thinking in his head? A good border city will be defeated to this point!

Looking at the farmland again, there are only a pitiful 4,500 acres, and one acre of land here is harvested three times a year, and due to the lack of hydraulic fertilizers and other objective factors, the yield of rice is more than 80 catties at a time, and the output of grain is only 250 catties a year, and it can only be satisfied by planting crops with slightly higher yields such as potatoes and sweet potatoes. However, if you eat this kind of food for a long time, your body will become weaker and weaker, and where will you have the strength to work hard and train the army? There is a lot of abandoned land outside the city, but due to the frequent invasion of the Hu people and the raids of bandits, the villagers gradually lost their enthusiasm for farming.

However, to Liu Zhiwei's surprise, less than ten miles away from Hanling City, there are two iron mines and a coal mine, the quality of the minerals in them is not bad, and the most important thing is that these minerals can be mined in the open pit, and there are two huge stone quarries twenty miles away, one of which is rich in limestone mines. In the eyes of others, this limestone may not be worth a penny, but Liu Ce came through after all and understood what that thing meant......

However, it is a pity that these things are currently occupied by bandits and bandits everywhere, and many bandits are also aliens who are hiding from the Hulan people outside the fortress, which is extremely fierce and makes people very headache.

Liu Ce silently planned the development of the town, first of all, if he wanted to develop steadily, all the bandits and bandits in his jurisdiction must be eliminated! This must be done, but now that I have just arrived, many things need to be carefully considered, and I can't do whatever I want like in Heyuan, after all, in addition to the Jingwei Camp, I will have to feed 70,000 or 80,000 people (more than 10,000 Jingwei Camp families) under the rule, and the main thing is to ensure their safety.

"Then let's start with the public order in the city, the grain and grass brought this time can last for a while, so don't be too anxious for the time being." Liu Ce brushed his mind and decided where to start first.

"Xu Hui!" Liu Ce shouted, and Xu Hui outside the door immediately walked in.

Xu Hui said, "What does the general command?"

Liu Ce said: "You and Ye Bin took five hundred horsemen to bring the families of the soldiers who came to the Han Tomb to settle down!" Go now! ”

"Yes!" Xu Hui was ordered to go twice.

Liu Ce saw Xu Hui leaving and said, "Su Wencan! ”

"Humble duty!"

"Give you ten days, no, five days to figure out how many bandits and bandits there are near the Han Tomb! Remember to check carefully and report back. ”

"Yes!"

"Qin Mo!"

"General, please command."

"You are familiar with the Han Tombs, immediately draw a topographic map of this place, the more detailed the better."

"Yes."

"Yang Youhuai, Sun Cheng, Yang Fan!"

"The last general!"

"The three of you immediately organized people to arrange security and sanitation in the city! By the way, clean up the corpses of the people outside the city, and remember that the dead are the greatest, so be cautious. ”

"The last general commands!"

"Yang Kaishan!"

"The last general!"

"Gather all the craftsmen in the city at once! Remember that I want all the craftsmen, gathered in the square, I have something to say! ”

"Yes!"

"Guo Tao, Chen Qing!"

"The last general!"

"You and Hong Yingwen will work together to bring the principals of the Fort Manor here! Go back quickly! ”

"Yes!"

"The rest of the people are standing by! Remember not to disturb the people! ”

"Yes!"

……

One after another orders flew out of Liu Ce's mouth, and the originally lifeless Hanling City suddenly became busy! Especially in the area of cleaning, many people swept out a whole cart of garbage from their houses under the military order, and they were quite surprised when they saw that the place where they lived was so dirty.

In the square, about 330 craftsmen stood in place, not knowing what the newly appointed Taishou wanted to do.

Liu Ce greeted them when he saw them and said, "I have a thing here, which of you can make it?" After speaking, he pulled out the ring knife on his waist.

Those craftsmen looked at it and secretly said that it was a good knife, but still no one dared to stand up! They didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Liu Ce's gourd.

"What? No one, wouldn't it? You can take it and watch it......" Liu Ce asked again.

Still no one was willing to speak, and at a glance the craftsmen looked timid and afraid.

"Humph!" Liu Ce's face was cold, and he said, "It seems that they are all famous and famous!" Seal the sorrowful year, pull it all out and cut it! What's the use of these wine bags and rice bags! ”

"Yes! Someone ...... come," Feng Chounian agreed, and shouted to the soldiers behind him to step forward to pull them out of the town and behead them.

Immediately, these craftsmen believed it and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and one of the blacksmiths climbed close to Liu Ce's heel and said, "My lord, spare your life!" It's not that we won't do it, but the treasure knife in your hand will know at a glance that it is made of pure iron, although the villain doesn't know how to make it, but as long as the villain is given some time to grind, it will be able to imitate it, but there is no good iron material that can't be built at all...... Spare your life......"

Liu Ce glanced at Feng Chounian, Feng Chounian nodded, immediately waved to the soldiers behind him to retreat, and then stood behind Liu Ce.

Liu Ce picked up the craftsman and said, "What's your name?"

The craftsman said timidly: "The little one's name is Wu Chengxiao, and he is a subway craftsman. ”

Liu Ce patted him on the shoulder and said, "Tell me how this knife is, tell the truth!" ”

Wu Chengxiao took the ring knife and looked at it carefully, and saw that Liu Ce really had no intention of obstructing, and soon devoted himself to the study of the technical link.

"My lord, with all due respect." Wu Chengxiao squinted at the back of the knife, "The back of the knife is slightly uneven, not in a straight line, the blade is slightly concave and convex, this knife should be made of high-grade fine iron, and the edge of the knife is also extremely sharp, but ...... This cannot be used for a long time, otherwise it will be damaged and affect the combat use......"

"Oh?" Liu Ce was taken aback, due to the rush of workmanship, Gao Laohan and Feng Ying had said similar problems when these ring head knives were just created, and they didn't want this Wu Chengxiao in front of him to be able to say it so accurately, so they couldn't help but admire a little.

"If it is not bad as expected, adults should be in a hurry to shape the knife and simplify many processes, right?" After reading it, Wu Chengxiao respectfully returned the ring head knife to Liu Ce with both hands.

"Wu Chengxiao, you are very good!" Liu Ce nodded and said, "Soon I will reopen the furnace in the city to make blade equipment, you will be the team leader, and after the two blacksmiths Feng Ying and Gao Laohan arrive, you will go to their place to report, and ...... other."

Liu Ce turned around and pouted at Feng Chounian, who immediately stuffed two ten-heavy silver ingots into Wu Chengxiao's hand, and Wu Chengxiao took the silver two pieces in place.

"Wu Chengxiao, you can name the shortcomings of this knife to show that you have indeed studied this trip, this is what you deserve, and I am here to announce that anyone who has craftsmanship will be rewarded, as long as I Liu Ce is in one day, your life will be better than before! It's just that you have to be able to show your worth! ”

These words were not only said to Wu Chengxiao, but also to the more than 300 craftsmen present, I only hope that they can understand that the value of their existence is by no means humble, and even extremely great. Of course, these things cannot be instilled in them at one time, they need to be gradual and slowly experience and change by themselves, so that they can show a different style in the future.

"My lord, are you telling the truth?" Wu Chengxiao choked up and said, craftsmen belong to the cheap industry, and their status in the Great Zhou Dynasty is extremely low, no one will pay attention to them at all, how can they not be excited when they hear Liu Ce's words now?

Liu Ce nodded firmly and said, "Of course it's true!" I, Liu Ce, swear, as long as I live for one day, I guarantee that you can live a good life, and I can't guarantee that you will be prosperous and rich, but I can make you worry about food and clothing! However, you need to trade your own skills! ”

"Since your Excellency said so! Then what else do we have to say, just follow the instructions of the adults! My lord, I'm a stonemason......"

"My lord, I'm a carpenter......

"My lord, I'm also a blacksmith, I'll ......"

There was an instant uproar in the square, Liu Ce looked at all this, his heart was full of relief, and secretly thought: "It's time, I hope everything is in time, five months, I only have five months, I must have enough strength to protect myself before the Hulan people invade the south in autumn at all costs!" This is my territory, and it is the root of my Jingwei Battalion! I will never let the people of Hanling be bullied by Hu Nu again. ”

……

On April 10th, Xu Hui and Ye Bin came to Hanling City with nearly 20,000 people, and these people from Heyuan will take root here. However, they followed the Jingwei Battalion, and had unconditional trust in this disciplined and invincible army.

……

On the castle tower, many craftsmen are measuring the gaps in the ruins, using the carbon pen in their hands to write down a series of data in Liu Cefa's parchment notebook for future restoration. Under the castle tower, many carpenters are vigorously sawing all kinds of wood that have been cut down, sweating profusely, but the enthusiasm of the individuals is very high. There are also those blacksmiths, who continue to rebuild hundreds of catties of iron in the warehouse to create a thorny thistle terrestris on all sides, some large and some small, the large thorns are more than three centimeters long, specially used to deal with cavalry, and the small ones are less than two centimeters, which are special for infantry......

The reason why these craftsmen worked so hard was because Liu Ce formulated a series of reward and punishment regulations, which greatly improved the treatment of craftsmen. With Feng Ying and Gao Laohan and hundreds of thousands of catties of iron in place, the blacksmith workshop officially started......

"Not everyone is a good craftsman, those new apprentices only need to teach him some simple parts to make the process, and then separate these processes for them to make, you only need to grind the core part of the manufacturing yourself, isn't it much faster?"

The craftsmen repeatedly thought about Liu Ce's rhetorical plan called "assembly line", and suddenly felt that it seemed to be very reasonable, and after working for a few days according to what he said, the efficiency became much faster, and these local craftsmen gradually admired Liu Ce, and those craftsmen in Meihe Town were already familiar with this.

Seeing that the work of the craftsman was gradually on the right track, Liu Ce exhaled, and after throwing these technical problems to Feng Ying, Gao Laohan, and Wu Chengxiao, he began to work on the next thing to recruit soldiers.

……

"Kill!"

"Spare your life! Don't kill me! Don't kill me! ”

Jiang Ruoyan fell into a nightmare again at this time, the dream was full of scenes of the people being slaughtered in Xiwen Town that day, I saw her drenched in sweat, her closed eyes and frowns, and finally shouted and woke up from the nightmare again, panting in her mouth, trying to calm herself.

……

"Those who do not want their wives and children to be slaves! Pick up the spear on the ground! Stand side by side with us! Skinn and cramp the Hu people who have mutilated you! Drink their blood! From now on! You're part of the Jingwei Battalion! On the school ground, Wu Zhenying stood on the review stand, holding an iron loudspeaker, and loudly cheered up the newly recruited soldiers below.

After two days of recruitment, Liu Ce recruited a total of 2,500 soldiers, who were temporarily assigned to Wu Zhenying's place to start training, and then assigned to various departments one by one after passing the qualifications. You must be lucky to be selected into this army! Now you can't slack off, the welfare in our army is good, as long as you are willing to practice hard and obey the command, then I, Wu, you can ensure that everyone can live a good life, but if you are careful, hum ......"

Liu Ce watched all this from a distance, nodded and said, "This Wu Zhenying is quite suitable for training recruits." ”

Since the Jingwei battalion was expanded into a flag regiment, Liu Ce directly upgraded the flag commanders to the battalion flag envoys by default, and the original 100 commanders and below were promoted by default, and there were no 1,000 commanders for the time being.
