"Second, taxes on agriculture and animal husbandry should be collected less, or even none, in order to encourage population and farming; And the profits of business are very large, and the profits and taxes of the eleven should be drawn! The homeless are a minority, and they must have the ability to gain themselves. ”

Guan Ning said slowly: "The land of Liaodong has a wide range of iron and stones, mountains and forests, when it can be used to make iron, and it is close to the sea, there are benefits of salt and fishing, it is indeed a treasure land, as for the distance from the Central Plains - my group set off from Linji Port in the Beihai Sea and took a big boat, but in three days, it will reach Liaodong, which is not as far as the land route at all!" ”

"Third, the population of Liaodong is very small, but there are many young and strong, which is a big trouble!" Guan Ning said: "The ancestors once set up brothels to collect taxes, and my Liaodong can also be imitated, which has three benefits: one is to increase the financial revenue of our Liaodong Army through tax collection, and the other is to help social stability, meet the requirements of young men and even the army, and protect women from good families from harassment; The third is to attract a large number of talents to come to our Liaodong, and the fourth is to send prostitutes to the enemy, and the soldiers are bloodless. ”

"Lay a good foundation, accumulate grain and grass, refine the armor soldiers, and when the time comes, you can respect the king and coerce the Son of Heaven to cut down disrespect."

Speaking of which, even Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai were moved, this is the old way of running the country, this kind of trick is not passed on by Guan Zhong himself, and he can't know the trick, and the generals are even more unaware.

Yan Rou sighed and said: "Lord, Mr. You'an is talented, Rou should give way, and Mr. You'an will be the long history!" ”

Yan Zhanshu waved his hand and said: "Zihe doesn't have to give way, you have been with me for the longest time, and you have contributed a lot, and Mr. Fengxiao and Mr. You'an have their own strengths, and you can be the chief of the army!" Fengxiao military strategy is its strength, so it is a military general, supplemented by a fierce general, you can stand alone; The ability of ambition is also in the military strategy, which can be used as a military advisor to assist me; Mr. You'an is only a little magnanimous, and governing government is his strength, and he should be a different driver, and he is the head of civil officials; Zizhong is a waiter, but his business talent is outstanding, but he is in charge of business, and he communicates with me in Liaodong and gathers popularity. ”

Turning his head to look at the generals: "The generals listen to the order-"

"The last general!" More than a dozen generals led by Zhao Yun bowed their heads together.

"Zhao Yun, a former general, overseers of 10,000 troops, and zero in the north of Koding, explore the road to Xianbei, and at the same time pay close attention to Xianbei's movements! Yan Liang, the right general, the military division is Yan Rou, the overseer is 10,000, and he can recruit 5,000 young and strong people on the spot to expand the army, and conquer Fuyu in the east within a year! ”

"No!" Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, and Yan Rou were all very excited when they heard this.

"Gao Ran, as the left general, supervises the army of 3,000, and has jurisdiction over the Liaohua Department of Shanhaiguan 6,000, recruits 6,000 young and strong people on the spot, trains them into an army, and looks at Beiping and Youzhou on the right to ensure that the left side of our army is not lost."

"No!" Gao Ran responded calmly.

"Han Dang, as the rear general, has jurisdiction over Tai Shi Ci and the second general of Chi Mitu. Guo Jia is a lieutenant general in the military division, and when he fights, he takes Guo Jia as the commander. The overseer army is 15,000, and the southern expedition to Goguryeo is also a year! ”

"No!" Guo Jia's blood boiled when he heard this, he was a scholar, and he was able to command ten thousand armies, display military strategies, and the lord's great kindness, but he could only repay him with all his might.

"No!" Tai Shi Ci and Chi Mitu were also very excited, only Han Dang was a little dissatisfied, how could he be regarded as a veteran, but under this new military advisor, he wanted to look at Zhao Yun and Yan Liang together, uh, they are strong in martial arts, and they can't compare, but Gao Ran is almost the same, and he is also alone, and his face can't help but look a little unpleasant.

When Yan Zhanshu saw it, he smiled and said, "Yigong, don't you want to fight?" Why don't you exchange with Bo Sheng, let Bo Sheng go to the charge, and you go to guard the back road? ”

"No, no, no-" Han Dang suddenly woke up, thinking that he would have nothing to do to train recruits and never be able to go to the battlefield again, he couldn't help but shudder, that kind of thing should be left to Bo Sheng's stuffy gourd to do, hehe smiled and said: "My old Han is still more comfortable fighting on the battlefield!" "The key is to make meritorious service quickly!

"The four of you, leading the troops to the battle, that is, the general of one side, you don't have to report to me on all matters, if you have a fighter, attack on your own, and make up the report when the time comes, just explain the reason. In addition, when recruiting young and strong, if there is a city wall that is unwilling to send people, pull it out, and clean it up for traitor, I am short of manpower here to build Xiangping New Town. Yan Zhanshu's mouth leaked a cold breath, and when he heard this, he was cold.

"Chuan Champion Hou, General Anbei, and Liaodong Taishou Yan Military Order-" More than a dozen fast horses ran in all directions with Yan Zhanshu's order, and the general's order was conveyed to each castle: "Liaodong is divided into five counties, each county is divided into five townships, each township is divided into 10,000 people, each township is divided into five forts, and each fort is divided into 2,000 people. When the soldiers were dispatched, 200 men were drawn from each fort, divided into a company, five companies were divided into a battalion, and a county should have 5,000 young men and strong, gathered into a regiment. ”

"Anyone who does not obey military orders is a traitor, and he will be pulled out!"

Yan Zhanshu's voice spread throughout Liaodong, and the dignitaries and nobles in various castles were panicked, was their life as an emperor about to end? The army of 40,000 people, and many Wuhuan barbarians in it, are what everyone has seen. In the past, whether it was Goguryeo, Ding Ling, or Fuyu, at most two or three thousand people came to plunder, and they sent some food and retreated, and they couldn't capture the walled city.

But this new champion Hou is different, he started as a rebel, and he once captured the state governance of Jizhou - Yecheng, and there are countless large and small counties, our small walled city can withstand the attack of the barbarians, but it can't stop the siege equipment of the same Han people!

Each walled city recruited 200 people, and it didn't seem to be so much, so just endure it, and many small walled cities have confessed. In Xiangping City, Gongsun Zhaozheng discussed with Gongsun Lou and Liu Zheng: "Yan Zhijun's move is ruthless, there are 200 people in each fort, and his army will have 20,000 more people this time." ”

"But Xiangping is just a bigger castle for us, wouldn't we have to send thousands of people?" Gongsun Lou said he was very dissatisfied.

"His military order is that no matter how many men you have, each castle must have two hundred men - according to his military order, we can concentrate our men in a few large forts, and then send two hundred men to each fort." Liu Zheng thought of a solution.

"Hmm-" Gongsun Zhao nodded approvingly: "This method is good, Lou'er, pass the word, our Gongsun family's walled city will start to concentrate, just do it!" ”

"Wait! The head of the family, it is not just a matter of transferring young and strong, once this law is implemented, he will know everything about the reality of our fort defense! Liu Zheng slowly tasted the power of this military order: "If he turns his face and wants to attack the city in the future, those young people who are transferred away, their families and relatives, do we still need to prevent it?" ”

"Sizzle-" Gongsun Zhao gasped, so he said, "You can't even give it to a young man?" ”

"Can't give!" Liu Zheng said categorically: "Giving is a disaster, and the legacy is endless!" ”

"However, Yan Zheng's 40,000-strong army is just outside the city, so we can't even give this little face, right?" Gongsun Lou felt that it was obviously inappropriate to do this.

"In this way, after the manpower is concentrated, select the young man who is not dragged down by the family and has the fewest relatives, and hand it over." The lesser of two evils, Gongsun Zhao thought about it, and still felt that it was not appropriate to have a bad relationship with Yan Zhanshu, after all, judging from last night, the other party still had good intentions.

Soon, the movements of the Gongsun family were collected by Yan Rou's spies and reported to Yan Zhanshu.

"Well, that's a real way to take advantage of loopholes! Take a look," Yan Zhanshu casually handed over the information to Guan Ning on the side, and pouted: "Mr. You'an, this is the family, and it is really a thief of the country!" ”

"I see," Guan Ning glanced at it, but said with a smile: "This is not a good thing." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Yan Zhanshu only saw that this was taking advantage of his military orders, and couldn't help but be curious when he heard it.

"The lord's Xiangping County is a county for industry and commerce, and it is not intended for farming and warfare. He gathered all his men into five castles, which were divided into five parts: iron ore collection, armor building, medicine collection, fur and nitrate, and commercial transportation, saving me a lot of trouble! Guan Ning laughed: "Otherwise, if you want to relocate the displaced people, you will also have to be responsible for settling down and dividing the land, this cost is not a small amount, isn't it all saved?!" ”

"That's right!" Yan Zhanshu couldn't help laughing: "However, this kind of thing is not punished, I am afraid that some people in other counties will follow suit." ”

"Isn't there a shortage of manpower to build a city?" Guan Ning also laughed gloomily: "The lord has spoken before, and several generals are not people who dare not make a move, right?" ”
