Chapter 35 Immigration Strategies
The night is like ink, even if there are more than a dozen oil lamps lit in the lobby, it can't make the lobby brighter, Lu Bu sits on the main seat, his angular face looks a little cold in the dim light, Xiong Kuohai and Zhou Cang are guarding the door, Zhang Liao, Guan Hai, Xu Sheng, Chen Xing, Zhang Xiu, Wei Yan are sitting in a row on the left, as for Pei Yuanshao, He Yi, He Man and others, they are not qualified to enter here, on the right hand, but after Chen Gong and Jia Xu, compared to the lineup of generals under Lu Bu's account, the strategists are a little monotonous.

The rhythmic footsteps entered through the door, and the yin wind brought up made the lights in the room sway, Gao Shun came in with a little dust on his face, swaggered forward, and came to the main throne and arched his hand towards Lu Bu: "Lord, the Wuguan has been breached, and now it is garrisoned by two thousand people led by General Hao Zhao." β
"Sit." Lu Bu nodded, pointed to the vacant position on the left, his face did not show too much joy, with Gao Shun's ability, it was not so surprising to gather the most elite infantry under Lu Bu to break through the Wuguan guarded by only a thousand people.
"Thank you, Lord." Gao Shun intervened, strode to the position beside Zhang Liao and knelt down.
"Wuguan has been opened, the people of Nanyang, now has gathered in Wancheng to Wuguan this area, tomorrow, the migration of the people, these population, is the foundation of our future rise, there is no room for loss, here reaffirms a military order, no one, regardless of the general, shall not persecute the people, shall not seize their finances, let alone rape. If an adulterous woman is found, she will not be forgiven! What do you think, now let's talk about it, if not, tonight out of this door, for tonight's decision, there must be no more objections, Gao Shun, you take the trapping camp as the foundation, form a law enforcement team, and strictly investigate military discipline! Lu Bu intersected his fingers with his hands and said in a deep voice.
"Whoa!" Gao Shun got up to receive the order, thought for a while and said: "Lord, now the land of Sanfu, thousands of miles of barrenness, the county is vacant, this to Chang'an, not less than a thousand miles away, the last general thinks, when the advance army, will be along the way Shangluo, Zheng County, Lantian three counties occupied, one can be used as the foundation of our army, two can also be placed along the way some people, after all, millions of people, it is impossible to settle all in Chang'an. β
Lu Bu nodded and pondered: "Not only these three counties, but also the ten counties of Chang'an, all need to be stationed in separate populations, but at present, these three counties are the most important first, Wei Yan." β
"The last general!" Wei Yan stood up and bowed.
"This relocation is related to the future of our army, and there must be no mistakes, so I will take you as the vanguard, lead two thousand troops, occupy these three counties, send people to garrison, and prepare to lead the people, in addition, the bandits and grass along the way, those who are willing to submit to the army, move back to the counties, choose their elite and strong to be incorporated into the army, and those who are unwilling to submit will be killed!"
"Whoa!" Wei Yan replied angrily.
"In addition, has the grain and grass in Nanyang counties ever gathered?" Lu Bu said in a deep voice, Yongzhou is a wasteland now, there is no grain and grass, don't expect the people to talk to you about the future and ideals, you can't live now, how can there be any future to speak of.
"In addition to the seizure from the hands of the wealthy families, now our army has raised 700,000 stone of grain and grass, thousands of cattle and horses and other livestock, plus the grain and property carried by the people themselves according to the lord's words, not a single cent has been taken, enough for our army and this million people to support the autumn harvest, if these million people can be settled before April, although it is a little late, but if you cultivate in time, before the autumn harvest, you can still drive out a batch of crops." Jia Xu, who was temporarily used as an account by Lu Bu, explained the current harvest in detail, then sat back in his seat and kept silent.
Zhang Liao frowned and said: "It's just that the people are dragging their families with their mouths, even if Zhang Lu in Hanzhong is not blamed, I'm afraid the speed of travel is not much faster, when Dong Zhuo moved the people of Luoyang into Jingzhao, he hurried day and night, coerced by knives and axes, and it was only fifty miles a day, from Luoyang to Chang'an, the population was almost half lost, even so, if you want to reach Chang'an before April, I am afraid it will be very difficult." β
Chen Gong nodded in agreement and said, "Since the lord wants to take these people as the foundation, he must not be as angry as Dong Zhuo. β
Lu Bu nodded, what he wanted was the population, the food was not enough, he could rob the Qiang people and the Hu people, but his own population could not be less.
"My lord, there will be a concern in the end, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not." Zhang Xiu hesitated for a moment, then got up and said.
"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it, I said that before leaving this door, any question can be raised, but after leaving this door, the decision we make here is the final decision, and it only needs to be implemented." Lu Bu said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Zhang Xiu bowed and said: "There were 20,000 troops in Nanyang before, and they fought with the lord before, and some of them were damaged, and then the people brought by the lord were only 20,000 people, and now General Wei Yan took away 2,000, plus the tiger and wolf soldiers around the lord, the two thousand people who were guarded by Wuguan, and the actual available ones were less than 15,000, and the population we want to take away is a million people, plus they have left their hometowns, it is inevitable that they will have resentments in their hearts, plus there are many people, once they are not handled properly, it is very easy to have conflicts and riots, and the lord does not want to follow Dong Zhuo's example, if there is a riot, And how to deal with it. β
"Not bad." When Lu Bu heard this, he couldn't help laughing, Zhang Xiu was uncomfortable, but then he looked at Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu didn't know much, but this problem is the most acute problem, and it is also the biggest difficulty in this relocation, not only Lu Bu has such a problem, since ancient times, encountering this kind of large-scale migration, this kind of problem is also the most tricky.
Are you teaching me?
Lu Bu couldn't help but be a little happy in his heart, although it was Jia Xu who used Zhang Xiu's mouth to teach himself, but it has already shown that Jia Xu has moved his heart to work for himself under his own oppression, which is a good sign, as for this problem, it may be difficult for others, but for Lu Bu, the problem is not big, what he did in his previous life is management, and he has some experience in how to manage the grassroots.
"Gongtai, how did you do what you were asked to do before?" Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong.
"It has been perfected, and the candidates have been selected into a book." Chen Gong smiled.
Then he turned to the people: "The lord has considered this problem before, and discussed with me some plans for your reference, I have ordered people to take villages and towns as units among the people, and elect people with higher prestige and outstanding ability, although these people have no great ability, but in the past they had some prestige in the local area, with these people as leaders, responsible for leading the villagers with the army, and then every other section, set up an army, not responsible for supervising the march, only responsible for protecting the migration of the people, if there is any dispute among the people, and then intervene in an official capacity, In addition, the lord promised that after the successful migration, the county magistrates, county lieutenants, copywriters and other positions in various places would be selected from these people. β
A flash of surprise flashed in Jia Xu's eyes, this novel idea was the first time he had heard of it, he was a wise man in the world, and he had already understood the benefits after just thinking about it.
First of all, the government is elected from among the people, and the army will not intervene, which largely avoids direct conflict between the army and the people.
Secondly, Lu Bu uses the official as a bait, although it has not yet begun, but Jia Xu can be sure that these elected leaders will definitely try their best to reach their destination as soon as possible, as long as they are not stupid, they must be selected for merit, and these characters who can be elected by the people at the bottom may not have the talent to go through the world, but they must have it, and they will definitely figure it out, and they will definitely spare no effort to urge the people to hurry, and they have enough prestige among the people, and in terms of effect, I am afraid it is more effective than coercion with knives and axes, Don't look at the county order is not a big official, but in the eyes of Shengdou Xiaomin, being able to sit in the status of the county order for a lifetime is already burning incense on the ancestral tomb.
Finally, and most crucially, it seems that these people benefit, but in fact, it is Lu Bu who gets the most benefits in the end, why? Selecting the best also solves the most critical problem for Lu Bu, the talent of governing the place!
This is what Lu Bu lacks the most, you must know that Lu Bu is now in the wealthy family, and his reputation is rotten, which Lu Bu himself knows, just looking at his migration this time, he directly lined up the wealthy family, and even some wealthy families wanted to join, but they were directly rejected by Lu Bu, just looking at this, Lu Bu is obviously very clear about his own situation, and without the support of the wealthy family, it also means that in the hands of Lu Bu, there is a serious lack of management talents.
No matter how powerful the war is, someone has to govern the place you have conquered, right? This is also why there is a saying that those who win the world have the world, but Lu Bu's trick directly broke this iron law, those managers elected by the people, may not have any talents, but they start from the people, know better about the people's suffering, and know better what the people want, big things can't be done, but the management of the place, I'm afraid it is more handy than those people from the family, and more importantly, these people are raised by Lu Bu himself, and the sense of belonging to Lu Bu is naturally very strong, as long as these people don't have brain convulsions, If they do something angry and resentful, when they make some achievements in the future, the people's gratitude to these people will be directly transferred to Lu Bu, so that in less than a year, Lu Bu will be able to completely control the hearts of these millions of people!
Jia Xu looked at Lu Bu, but just as he found that Lu Bu was also looking at him, he smiled and nodded, no longer speaking, but in his heart, he had a sense of identity with Lu Bu for the first time.
"Do you have any other questions?" After discussing some specific details, seeing that everyone was no longer talking, Lu Bu asked.
"The Lord is wise, and we have nothing to add." Everyone shook their heads, and after saying some clichΓ©s, Lu Bu waved his hand and announced the end of the first high-level meeting since Lu Bu became an army.
