The Hetao area of the New Year is still immersed in snow and ice, but the city of Toyoshu, which has been crowded in recent days, has suddenly become lively in recent days, and after the sudden influx of tens of thousands of people in the Guannai, the city has become extremely crowded, and all kinds of shops that used to be closed in winter have also opened, doing their best to attract customers.

In order to make room for the people, the military camps that were originally located in the city have also been moved outside the city, and new houses and shelters have begun to be built in various parts of the city to accommodate the people.

"Hurry up and see, the Assassin's Mansion has made an announcement." A group of soldiers approached the crowd, holding a poster and sticking it to a wall, which immediately attracted the crowd to watch. This is the third time in half a month that the Assassin's Mansion has issued a notice.

"In recent years, the population of Toyosu has withered, the rivers and canals have been deserted, the cultivation is not diligent, and the people are suffering...... The new Fengzhou Inspector hereby warns the people of Fengzhou to build rivers and canals, reopen Qianmo, control agriculture and mulberry and care for the people, and promote water conservancy and ensure prosperity. From now on, all those who participate in the project of controlling the river in the Assassin's Mansion will be given all the food, ten cents of wages, and the daily settlement will be paid, and the work will be used for relief to help the people...... "After the soldiers left, the people immediately surrounded them, and those who were literate immediately read out.

"Second brother, let's go back and talk to my sister-in-law, let's go quickly." We didn't catch up with the road construction notice a few days ago, and we can't leave it behind this time. One of the young men whispered to one of the people beside him.

"Let's go, why are you still stunned? Go back and call Dalong and them, I know the manager who recruited people, and I will definitely be able to line up this time. After speaking, he walked away quickly with the brothers beside him.

As soon as he left, he immediately took a lot of people with him. And as time went on, more and more people gathered around to see this latest notice.

"Lord, the latest batch of cash-for-work relief is much better than before, the manpower needed for the river repair project is now basically full, and the required tools Fengzhou Treasury have been sent, and the construction can start today." In the Assassin's Mansion, Li Xuanqing listened to Cen Tianshi's report while pondering the problem of land cultivation after the beginning of spring.

"There are not enough people, if only there were tens of thousands more." Li Xuanqing sighed, everything in this Hetao area is too small, and after years of civil strife in the Central Plains, some displaced people finally fled here. I remember that several large-scale migrations in history could not increase the number, and finally had to sacrifice the method of exiling criminals. guarded the famous granary in the north in later generations, but did not have the manpower to develop it, which can be regarded as making Li Xuanqing drunk.

However, his words made Cen Tianshi on the side stumble, and he almost fell to the ground, what do you mean by tens of thousands of people? Can you feed it? As far as the little grain from the Fengzhou Treasury and the robbery brought along the way are not enough for these people to eat the next season's harvest now, right? Thinking of this, Cen Tianshi couldn't help but remind: "Lord, it's understandable that you want to develop the plains, but we don't have enough food to store!" With the current population, we still have at least 20,000 stone of grain to hold on to the next season. ”

Li Xuanqing smiled, waved his hand to signal Cen Tianshi to sit beside him, and said with a smile: "I'll figure out a way for the food shortage, I have drafted three methods, and I want to ask Mr. to help consider it." When he saw Cen Tian, he heard that he had a way to solve the problem of grain and grass, and his eyes were green, and he couldn't help but laugh: "First, these days, Yang Tiancheng and Xu Tianxiang have sent people back to send back good news, and Jiuyuan, Yongfeng and Feng'an have all taken it down. These three cities have a lot of grain in stock, and I have ordered them to transport all of them back to Fengzhou except for the necessary military rations and emergencies, which is estimated to be at least about 3,000 koku, right? ”

"Secondly, from the day after tomorrow, Chen Yu, Tie Liang and Yang Tiancheng will each lead a team to encircle and suppress the bandits and thieves in Fengzhou from the east, north and west, and strive to eliminate all bandits by the end of February, you must know that due to the sharp increase in trade with the Uighurs in recent years, these bandit leaders rely on robbing past merchants, basically they are full of brains, but they have a huge amount of wealth and grain in their hands, as long as they are eliminated, they can bring back at least 5,000 stone of grain, and 10,000 or 20,000 free labor." Li Xuanqing put up his second finger and said with a smile.

Cen Tianshi nodded, he was also deeply troubled by the many thieves in Fengzhou, but he was not so easy to fool, and immediately retorted: "The grain of these five thousand stones is estimated to be only enough for the rations of this extra population, and this part is not counted." ”

Li Xuanqing didn't refute either, and said with a smile: "Then the third way, find a way to let the three major families in Fengzhou City take out the grain they have stored, but I asked Xiao Si to inquire, the grain in the warehouses of these three families is estimated to be no less than 50,000 stones, as long as they can take out half of it, we will win." ”

Cen Tianshi saw Li Xuanqing's third finger, and couldn't help laughing: "The key is that there is no way for them to obediently take out the grain, I have been to Zhang's house three times, and I have given five hundred stones of grain." After he said this, he suddenly reacted, since Li Xuanqing said this method, it means that he has already thought of a way, and hurriedly asked: "Doesn't the lord have an idea?" ”

Li Xuanqing nodded, "This is the next plan, don't leak it out for the time being, I promise that they won't give you 30,000 stone of grain at that time, I'll call you lord, how about it?" After a pause, he didn't care about Cen Tianshi's embarrassed appearance when he said this, "There is another way, this method is relatively slow, but from a long-term perspective, it is an indispensable aspect of Fengzhou's future development." ”

"The lord is talking about commerce?" Cen Tianshi saw that Li Xuanqing's face gradually became serious, and he knew what the solution was, "But we have only taken over Fengzhou for less than a month, and this method is really slow." ”

"This is the future development plan for Fengzhou's agriculture and industry that I wrote, and you can see if there are any problems." Li Xuanqing took out a copy of what he had been thinking about in the past few days from his desk and handed it to Cen Tianshi.

Cen Tianshi didn't understand what a plan was, but through getting along these days, he had long been accustomed to the new words that often popped up in the mouth of his young unspoken lord, and he understood that because he had not read the book systematically, he didn't know what words to use to come up with the way to come up, and he didn't know that Li Xuanqing directly borrowed the vocabulary of later generations.

However, since Cen Tianshi took over this plan that was more than a dozen pages long and full of neat and neat small letters, his face changed, and as he read it page by page, the whole person entered a state of madness again, and he was still babbling something in his mouth while reading. Li Xuanqing looked at his appearance and was secretly amused, his plan was copied from the development of the Hetao Plain in later generations, but some of the things that should not have appeared were modified and became the copycat he wrote.

"I always thought that the lord was not good at government affairs, but now it seems that it is really shallow. The plan of the lord is really strategic, and the agriculture and industry are comprehensive, covering the development plan of the Hetao for a hundred years. God bless China, send down gods like the lord, and thank the people who are suffering all over the world in the heavenly era. Cen Tianshi suddenly knelt down in front of Li Xuanqing, kowtowed respectfully, his face flushed, and said in a repeated voice: "When you meet the master, you should do your best to help the lord complete the great cause." ”

Li Xuanqing was taken aback by this guy's reaction, and didn't understand why this guy suddenly kowtowed and praised himself, but he felt a black line jump in his head for these words of praise, and hurriedly helped him up, and said a little weakly: "Sir, it's not that there are too many things in the past few days, I'm tired, it's just a plan, everything stays on paper, there are still many details to be filled, and it is not worthy of your praise." ”

However, Cen Tianshi obviously misunderstood Li Xuanqing's words, and thought that this guy was modest, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said solemnly: "The lord is the lord, those details are naturally filled in by the ministers, the lord can rest assured, Tianshi immediately began to arrange people to implement the lord's plan step by step according to the plan, and ensure that the lord's plan will not be disappointed." The revival of China is hopeful, and the people of the Central Plains have also been saved, haha. After speaking, he ignored Li Xuanqing and ran away with the plan.

Li Xuanqing didn't understand the number one Wenchen he had found. It stands to reason that the people of this era are typical representatives of heavy agriculture and suppression of commerce, and their plans introduce at length handicrafts, mining, iron smelting and steelmaking, boiling salt, new textiles, porcelain, etc., which are all primitive industries, not to mention the measures taken to strengthen the role of commerce. This guy can't be from time in time, right?

Forget it, is there still a problem with him understanding his thoughts? I've probably been thinking too much lately. Li Xuanqing smiled bitterly and suppressed the messy thoughts in his head, and led a few people straight to the barracks.

The current military camp has long been moved by Li Xuanqing to a leeward place about ten miles north of Fengzhou City, and there are only 2,000 recruits in the city who belong to the Assassin's Mansion to serve as city defense troops and envoys. However, when Li Xuanqing came to the barracks, he found that it should have been in the cold winter, and this barracks was actually the same as the large-scale development of Fengzhou City, and there was a lively scene everywhere. I saw the soldiers of the phalanx carrying out all kinds of training under the command of various generals.

Military power is the most important thing in troubled times, so Li Xuanqing is also relieved to see this scene, he has basically plunged into government affairs in the past half a month, Xu Tianxiang went to the east again, and for the time being, he couldn't come back because he was worried that the Tiande army would counterattack, and he was really worried that these guys would take advantage of the chaos while no one was in charge.

After Li Xuanqing arrived at the big tent, he ordered someone to beat the drum and raise the tent, and the things to be explained today were very important, and there was no way for the herald to tell them. As soon as the drum sounded, Tie Liang and their main generals suddenly understood that only Li Xuanqing would gather everyone, so they hurriedly asked their deputies to continue to practice, and they quickly came towards the big tent.

The drums beat three ways, all the generals arrived, and when the drummers stopped, everyone paid homage to Li Xuanqing in unison. The most important military discipline in the army, Li Xuanqing will not relax at all, until everyone has done all this, and then he began to explain his purpose today.

"Chen Yu, how is the situation in the army now? After the transfer of veterans, how is the training of the recruits? To what extent did the soldiers of the Tiande Army deal with it? Li Xuanqing sat on the main seat and asked Chen Yu while flipping through the military register.

"Lord Qi, the Tiande army surrendered 8,000 people, screened out 4,000 qualified soldiers to supplement the regular army, 2,000 soldiers entered the box, and the remaining 2,000 unqualified ones were handed over to Cen Thorn Shi Xiu River Embankment. At present, there are 12,000 regular troops, 9,000 van soldiers, and 500 cavalry. Chen Yu heard Li Xuanqing ask himself, and hurriedly replied, following Tie Liang during this time, he finally knew to what extent the military discipline of the Iron Gun Capital had been implemented, so he didn't dare to take it lightly when he saw Li Xuanqing asking at this moment.

Li Xuanqing nodded, motioned for him to sit down, stood up, and said solemnly: "There are two important things to explain to you today. The first is to change the military system. ”

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a movement in the quiet tent, and Tie Liang came out and said, "Does the lord mean to reorganize the army?" ”

Li Xuanqing nodded and continued: "It is both a reorganization and a reform of the military system. The military system is based on the army as the smallest unit, a group of two troops, this remains the same, a team of five groups, the establishment of 50 people, a brigade of five teams, the establishment of 250 people, the brigade commander with a team of personal soldiers, a total of 255 people; The first guard and five brigades, with an establishment of 1,275 people, Wei Zheng is assigned to a group of pro-soldiers, and five secretaries and clerks are adjutants, totaling 1,290 people; The three guards are a capital, all of which are commanded and assigned to a team of pro-soldiers, a number of adjutants, a total of 4,000 people, all of which are set up in camps and are not announced to the public for the time being. Now I command—"

All the generals stood up together, only to hear Li Xuanqing's faint voice coming out continuously: "The whole army of the Tiance Army is reorganized into three capitals, the first capital is under the command of Xu Tianxiang, and the three guards of Li Tianyi, Chen Fan and Wang Houchun are temporarily stationed in Feng'an and Jiuyuan; The second capital commanded Yang Tiancheng, under the jurisdiction of Liu Baoliang, Wang Yongnian, Zhang Cheng three guards, stationed in Yongfeng; The third capital commanded Chen Yu, and had three guards, Wu Huan, Chai Jia, and Qian Laoliu. Tie Liang is responsible for the formation of the independent heavy armor guard of the Tiance Army, Hu Xiaosi is responsible for the formation of the Xuanying Guard of the Tiance Army, Hou Yong is responsible for the formation of the direct team of the Tiance Army, and at the same time controls the cavalry guard, and Zuo Tiancheng is responsible for the formation of the logistics department of the Tiance Army......"

With Li Xuanqing's order, the Tiance army, which had been kept in the boudoir, began to surface inside, and through this reorganization, the army that had traveled thousands of miles from Chang'an really matured.

"I order, the three capitals of the Tiance Army will be responsible for clearing out all bandits and robbers in their respective jurisdictions from now on, for a period of one month, and the people of Fengzhou must be returned to the people of Fengzhou before the end of February." Li Xuanqing's voice was high, turning into a roar that resounded throughout the barracks.
