"Ladies and gentlemen, although we have arrived in Liaodong, we have only taken the first step on a long road, and we must not slack off! The current situation is very unoptimistic, but Yu firmly believes that if we unite as one, Liaodong will gradually become rich. After looking around, he found that everyone was in good spirits, so he spoke.

"We only obey the Lord's orders." The crowd saluted in unison and replied.

"Alright, let's talk about your official positions. Xun Yu served as the county commander of Liaodong County, Xi Zhicai served as the chief bookkeeper, and Guo Jia served as the military advisor of the army. ”

"No" the three of them got up and agreed.

At this point Huo Yu paused, now Liu Zheng is the captain of Xiangping City, responsible for Xiangping's comfort, this person is talented, if he is relieved of his military power, I am afraid it will be difficult to control his heart, if you want to take it, you must give it first, so, secretly observe the time before making plans.

"Come on, hurry up and invite Liu Zheng to come to the meeting." After making up his mind, Huo Yu ordered the guards outside the door.

Seeing that the guards were ordered to leave, Huo Yu's eyes swept to a group of generals, and then said: "Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Zhang Fei, Xu Rong, Gao Shun, Feng Xiaowei, Liu Ji is the leader of the personal guards, Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, Liu Pi, and Gong Du are the commanders of the army, and they will train 3,000 soldiers with all their might, in case of emergency, and take Gao Shun to recruit soldiers to arrive and then divide the labor." ”

"Promise", although the official position is not high, but it is better than nothing, and everyone is a promise.

With the official position sealed, the people began to discuss the current situation, and divided it into two parts: civil and military.

In terms of civil affairs, Huo Yu summed up the difficulties he is currently facing: first, the weather is gradually starting to get colder, which is not conducive to farming and there is a shortage of food. Second, crop yields are too low; Third, the transportation is inconvenient.

So Huo Yu issued three orders, one was to repair the houses in Xiangping City, and issued a recruitment order, as long as there is craftsmanship, whether it is a blacksmith or a carpenter, all can apply. The other is to report the current situation in Liaodong to the grain and grass invited by Liu Yu, the Taishou of Youzhou, and contact the Xu family and the Zhen family to purchase grain and crop seeds. The third is the order to pay a lot of money to find a black stone.

The crop yield in Liaodong is low, so efforts can be made to transform agricultural tools and build new water conservancy, and Huo Yu proposed the method of storing manure and fertilizing. Everyone could accept Huo Yu's explanation after listening to it, but except for Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, and Guo Jia, the others were a little strange when they heard this third order, and Huo Yu smiled and did not answer.

In terms of military affairs, Huang Zhong presided over the overall situation and carried out military training, and all branches of crossbowmen, cavalry, sword and shield soldiers, and spearmen must be fully equipped. After the arrival of the 4,000 Danyang soldiers recruited by Gao Shun, a large-scale reorganization was carried out. However, the training of the troops must be carried out only after the repair of all the houses has been completed, and at present, except for the normal garrison, the rest of the officers and men have all devoted themselves to the repair of the houses. The second is how to prevent Xianbei and win over Wuheng.

Just as everyone was talking, Liu Zheng walked in quickly, bowed and said, "Xiaguan Liu Zhen, I have seen Lord Taishou." ”

At this moment, Liu Zheng's heart was uneasy, as the saying goes, the new official took office with three fires, and he was burned by the first fire when he was so sad.

Huo Yu waved his hand and let Liu Zhen take a seat, and then motioned for everyone to continue to discuss how to prevent Xianbei. In other words, the lack of strength is still the biggest problem, and there is no other way but to defend.

Among the people present, I am afraid that only Liu Zhen knows Xianbei best, so Huo Yu said: "Liu Duwei has a way to break Xianbei?" ”

"Lord Taishou, in the current situation, there is only defense as the only option, but the premise is to do a good job of collecting enemy information to avoid excessive losses." Liu Zhen and Xianbei fought several times, and the field battle was indeed not conducive to the Han army, and only defending the city was the best policy.

"Liu Duwei, are Xianbei people good at attacking cities?"

"Back to Lord Taishou, there is nothing else in the Xianbei siege except the cloud ladder."

As for the method of wooing Wu Heng, it is simple, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping have been doing business with the Hu people in the north all the year round, and at this time, the two of them are naturally responsible for exchanging the war horses and some other livestock that Huo Yu needs.

Fortunately, the Han people who were plundered by the Xianbei people were only used as slaves, but they did not know how to select craftsmen from them and learn the crafts of the Han people. In this special historical period, Huo Yu vaguely remembered that there had never been a big traitor, and the difficulty of defending the city was still much smaller. But if you want to strengthen the city defenses, it seems that there is only one thing that suits! As soon as this thing came out, the matter of building cities and roads was also solved.

After everyone discussed, Huo Yu appeased Liu Zheng and asked him to continue to serve as the governor of Xiangping City. Then Huo Yu ordered someone to post the notice immediately, and arrange for someone to spread the notice to the entire Liaodong County.

For several days, Huo Yu went out early and returned late every day, not only mobilizing the people, but also leading a group of soldiers to start repairing the houses in Xiangping City, and the city defense was entrusted to Huang Zhong and Liu Zheng. Fortunately, the houses in Xiangping City did not suffer serious damage, and after more than ten days of hard work, basically all the people had their own residences, at least a place to shelter from the wind and cold.

On this day, Huo Yu was exercising in the backyard of the county government, Dian Wei came to report, Xun Yu asked to see, and was waiting in the study. In the past half a month, everyone has been busy, and the opportunity to meet has decreased a lot, and when he came to the study, Huo Yu found that Xun You had lost a lot of weight, so he said: "Gongda, no matter how many things there are, you must also pay attention to rest, and your body is important." ”

"Thank you for your concern, it's fine." Xun You got up and saluted, and then said: "Lord, now the people have been settled, and the winter ploughing is on the right track, and after the recruitment order was issued, more than 300 people have come to apply. ”

"I don't have to worry about Gongda's errands, how many blacksmiths and carpenters are there among these three hundred people?"

"There are one hundred and eighty-six blacksmiths and carpenters, and the capable ones have been selected according to the order of the Lord and are waiting for the Lord to summon them. Discuss with Zhicai to follow the example of the pre-Qin Dynasty to set up a recruitment hall"

"The matter of the Recruitment Pavilion can be decided by the two of you. After lunch, summon the chosen one. There is another thing, there are still a lot of vacant land in the city, and then work hard to choose a place for Gongda and Zhicai, and Yu wants to set up a craftsman museum. ”

Xun Yu went as promised, and when he left, Huo Yu once again emphasized that he should pay attention to rest and not overwork. Looking at Xun You's departing figure, Huo Yu had mixed feelings in his heart, there were no more internal affairs talents around him, only relying on Xun You and Xi Zhicai, it seemed that he still had to find a way to fool a few talents who were good at internal affairs.

Seeing that winter plowing is approaching, I don't know how many livestock Su and Zhang can exchange for this trip, so let's solve the problem of coal first!
