Yanmen County governs: Shanwu, Woyang, Zhongling, Yinguan, Loufu, Wuzhou, Juyang, Lao, Pingcheng, Yi, Mayi, Jiangyin and other twelve counties, and the main county is governed in Shanwu. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info county standing soldiers and horses 2,000, 500 cavalry, 1,005 foot soldiers, county guards ranging from 50 to 200, because Yanmen is located on the border, conservative north Xianbei raging, and the people are displaced, so that the county population withered, life is poor, but also create a strong people, horse thieves swarm, the last Yanmen Taishou is to die at the hands of horse thieves.

The above is what Liu Xuewu learned about in Shanwu, originally Yanmen had thirteen counties in Gaozu, but unfortunately under the years of war, one county has long been lost, and it has become 12 counties. Liu Xuewu also felt tricky about this important place where no one asked for money and no money, but fortunately, the five hundred guards also arrived a few days after Liu Xuewu arrived, and what made Liu Xuewu even more happy was that he also brought one-third of Liu Xuewu's assets, which were exchanged for gold for the convenience of carrying, and counted them carefully, there were always 200,000 gold, which was enough for Liu Xuewu to show his strength. After resting for a few days, Liu Xuewu also got to the bottom of the situation in each county of Yanmen, first changed the county orders of the twelve counties, and then set up a concept of learning from Wujiao, and ordered the guards to set up a recruiting banner in each county, and arranged ten guards in each county.

There is one county lieutenant, one prince, five tun chiefs, two scholars, civil and military teachers, and five hundred guards in each county.

Then verify and register the population of each county, borrow Zhuge Kongming's rich and strong strategy recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms to implement the soldiers, idle time for agriculture, wartime for soldiers, and later consider the soil quality of the Yanmen region, mainly agriculture and animal husbandry, a large number of cattle and sheep are raised, and then wild boars are introduced in captivity.

In addition, Liu Xuewu's modern method of breeding and cultivating and the idea of militarized management of the defenders made it possible to implement both economic and military development.

Then there is the trade with the Xianbei tribe, attracting foreign merchants to come to purchase, using the identity of the Han clan to mobilize contacts to send business invitations to major families, organizing Yanmen border auction houses, auctioning all kinds of iron horses, and selling leather, grain and grass. Calculating the Yellow Turban Uprising that will be triggered in two years, Liu Xuewu was pressed on a big stone on his shoulder, and he ruthlessly developed all the resources available in Yanmen.

Then Liu Xuewu asked the counties to encourage childbirth, set up medical centers, iron shops, martial arts halls, post stations, and set up horse markets in Shanwu. However, there was a not so good situation, originally Liu Xuewu was going to set up a porcelain factory to produce gorgeous porcelain to sell to Xianbei in exchange for horses. It's a pity that the soil of Yanmen has been tested many times and is not suitable for burning ceramics, but can burn bricks. In addition, Liu Xuewu discovered a large number of open-pit coal mines in Pingcheng and Wuzhou, which made Liu Xuewu happy for several days, so Liu Xuewu immediately ordered to organize the defenders to mine coal mines, set up a brick factory, and burn Xuewu bricks named by Liu Xuewu himself. Fortunately, there were no modern people in the Han Dynasty at that time, if you have a casual look, you will know what to learn from my bricks, in fact, it is the current red bricks, but it is only doubled compared to the current red bricks, the process is the same, and the damp red clay and clay are two to one

Mix, then use a wooden mold to press into a square, and then put into the special kiln hole, with coal high temperature air pressure, seal the kiln to bake, two days later open the kiln to take the bricks, a piece of big red bricks will come out, this is Liu Xuewu in Yizhou when he ordered people to repeatedly experiment and come up with the best method, this is also no way, the Han Dynasty technology is backward, there is no modern equipment and technology, but the effect of the soil method is not much worse than the modern one.

The bricks were fired in a steady stream, and Liu Xuewu also ordered the county defenders to build walled houses according to the actual situation according to the design drawings, and planned to prepare for real estate in the Han Dynasty.

Some people may say, why is it a defender, it should be in Liu Xuewu's concept, the defender is the people's children's soldiers, not to mention that these are all raised by his own money, so the defender is also his private army, one of his properties, since there is no war training is a waste of reality, it is better to use money to make money, that is, it can be developed, and it is not idle, and it can also train soldiers, and it also saves a lot of money for hiring migrant workers. Liu Xuewu also used Gaoxin to gather hundreds of craftsmen who were slightly famous in Bingzhou to develop and specialize in new weapons and various military and civilian equipment or materials.

Considering that the wood consumed every day is not enough, and there are not so many woods cut down in the state, Liu Xuewu is also very helpless, the tree is not said to be changed in a year or two, until Liu Xuewu went to inspect Yinguan County, saw the dense bamboo forest, and immediately ordered the county defenders to find moist land near the water source, and plant a large number of bamboos.

Why grow bamboo? Bamboo can be grown into timber in three to five months, and bamboo shoots can be turned into bamboo shoots in two decades, which can be used to replace wood, make arrowheads, and serve as food, and even the mixed feed developed by bamboo leaves later is even more popular with herders.

Half a year has passed, it can be said that Yanmen has undergone earth-shaking changes, the county town is more than twice as large as before, the people in the county are allocated a new house for each household, and the orphans sheltered by the Jiaoguan have been nearly 10,000, according to the statistics of each county, the total population of the 12 counties is more than 400,000, and the average county is only 3 to 40,000 people, that is, several thousand households per county. Originally, Yanmen Pass was famous since ancient times, and the army was stationed all the year round, and the children of the military family lived here, and gradually formed Yanmen County, but it was a pity that there were many years of war, and the people were scarce. According to the Han Dynasty's recruitment of soldiers, only 40,000 soldiers and civilians can be recruited, but Liu Xuewu has been drawn several times before he came, and was pulled by Ding Yuan to form the invincible Bingzhou Iron Cavalry in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so for recruitment, Liu Xuewu can only voluntarily join the army in addition to the 500 defenders in each county.

However, if those policies continued, the people of Yanmen County could live in good houses, eat well, and wear clothes. In addition, the successive opening of factories, with the caravans of major families, the furs, equipment, and horses of Yanmen County were sold all over the country, and grain and salt were brought from all over the country, and the economy of Yanmen was stimulated, and the life of the people was better day by day.

It's a pity that Liu Xuewu is too optimistic, what kind of place is this, the border pass is important, and it will be winter in half a month, Xianbei knocked as usual, Lu Bu was ordered to lead the army to be stationed in Yunzhong, and tens of thousands of Xianbei troops attacked Yunzhong and turned their heads and went straight to Yanmen. Ma Yi bore the brunt, Liu Xuewu heard the news, and led Shanwu 500 cavalry, 500 foot soldiers and 1,000 soldiers to come to Ma Yi to garrison. Here, Liu Xuewu is very grateful to Qin Shi Huang from the bottom of his heart for the Great Wall built by Qin Shi Huang, so that there is such a natural danger as this Yanmen Pass to resist the enemy army.
