Yuan Shu was destroyed, Liu Cao and Yuan were suspended, and the gunpowder smoke in the Central Plains finally dispersed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Peace is temporary, but it is also precious. The princes of all parties took advantage of this rare opportunity to recuperate.

Autumn is coming, and the Central Plains ushered in a long-lost harvest year.

In particular, under Liu Mang's rule, the seeds improved by Jia Siqian were popularized on a large scale, and the grain output was generally greatly increased. If the output is less, the output will increase by two or three percent, and the grain output in Hedong and other areas that were the first to promote improved seeds has doubled!

The cotton harvest was abundant, and Yu Hao, the zodiac woman, improved the textile machine, and the output of cotton cloth had increased several times.

All units of the Luoyang Army gradually replaced linen cloth with soft and warm cotton cloth, and non-combat injuries such as abrasion and frostbite were greatly reduced, and the army's combat effectiveness was improved.

Agriculture is thriving, and animal husbandry is developing even faster.

Liu Mang and Gegen Shan Yu became Anda, and Han and Hungary cooperated. The Hu people were responsible for grazing, and the Han people provided pastures for the winter and daily necessities.

Nomadic livestock in the outer part of the country and in the annexed states, numbered in the millions.

The Hu people grazed more easily and safely, and the Han people got more meat and more cattle. Agriculture and animal husbandry are prosperous, and Han and Hungary are win-win.

Under the guidance of horse breeding expert Yu Ren Yu Jie, and several pastures in the state, the number of war horses has exceeded 100,000!

The production of iron ore and coal mines has risen steadily.

Liu Mang personally gave instructions to vigorously develop the mining industry. In Yanmen, Taiyuan and other places, several new mines have been put into production.

With the precedent of the success of the Huren Iron Mine, families from all over the country have taken the initiative to apply for capital and cooperate with the government to develop minerals.

With Liu Mang's current strength, there is no need for the intervention of Saga Capital at all. The subordinate staff also spoke out one after another, suggesting that the mining government camp.

Liu Mang insisted on cooperating with the family.

This decision was made not only to fulfill the previous commitments, but also to manage the relationship with the Maison.

In the past few years, fighting with the family, Liu Mang has gradually mastered the skills of getting along with the family.

The existence of the gate valve family has both a negative side and a positive side. Dealing with the problems of the Maison, like controlling water, blindly blocking it can only arouse strong resistance from the Maison, and may even push it to the hostile side.

Dayu's success in controlling the water lies in the guidance of the situation.

The same should be true for the family.

The primary goal pursued by the gate valve family is to prosper the family business and have a long-term family fortune. This goal, while narrow, is not problematic in its essence. As long as there is no super gate valve that can affect the fortunes of the country, the stable development of the family is allowed and has a positive effect on maintaining social stability.

The family of gate valves can provide talents and soldiers, which are the resources that Liu Mang urgently needs.

It is a positive approach to tie the fate of the family to oneself with economic interests.

In Jizhou, Yuan Shao also had a close relationship with the family.

However, Liu Mang's approach to Yuan Shao is fundamentally different.

Although they all have a close connection with the family, the master-slave relationship is the opposite.

Yuan Shao, for the sake of money, food and soldiers, was subject to the Jizhou family. In Jizhou, the family is the master, and Yuan Shao is the follower.

Liu Mang, providing opportunities for the development of the family, can control the family. Liu Mang is the master, and the family is from.

……

At present, the areas controlled by Liu Mang include the entire territory of Bingzhou, most of Youzhou Dai County, the entire territory of Sili Xiaoweibu in the narrow sense (excluding the Yongzhou part), all of Yuzhou except Liang Guo and Pei Wai, the northern part of Nanyang County in Jingzhou, the northern part of Lujiang County in Yangzhou, and the area between Yongzhou Jingzhao Yin Chang'an and Tongguan.

The population under his rule exceeded 10 million.

The total number of troops is more than 300,000. Among them, there were about 60,000 cavalry, including 5,000 heavy cavalry Tielin Army.

The Luoyang army was well-trained and well-equipped. The only weakness is the water army.

Yu Dayou and Wang Jun led nearly 30,000 sailors, trained hard, and the sailors' skills in water, bow archery and boat driving made rapid progress.

However, because there were no big rivers and lakes under Liu Mang's rule, the Yellow River and the Huai River, the main waters in the region, were not suitable for large warships, and the Luoyang Navy lacked large warships, let alone actual combat experience on the water.

Yu Dayou and Wang Jun repeatedly requested to participate in land operations in order to cultivate the fighting consciousness of the officers and men of the navy.

The training difficulty of the naval army is far greater than that of infantry and cavalry. This naval army is Liu Mang's treasure and the capital for the southward conquest in the future. Small casualties and losses are unbearable.

However, the cultivation of a sense of battle is also extremely important. Liu Mang agreed that the navy would participate in ground operations in batches, but it could only focus on training and undertake logistical support tasks, and was not allowed to charge into battle.

……

The soldiers and horses are strong, and the generals of the various departments have also been slightly adjusted.

Xu Da and Su Dingfang are still in charge of the military affairs of the division and the state respectively.

Wang Zhongsi was promoted to general of Northern Yuzhou, and Yue Fei was promoted to general of Southern Yuzhou, and was in charge of military affairs in Yingchuan and Runan.

The main task of the next step is to solve the Xiliang Army Group. In order to avoid irritating Jingzhou, Chang Yuchun still commanded Nanyang's military affairs as a captain of Luoyang Baguan.

The larger change was the Western Front Corps.

Deng Qiang was promoted to deputy governor of Liangzhou, Guo Kan was transferred to the general of Southern Yongzhou and general Hongnong, and Xu Shiji was transferred to the general of Northern Yongzhou and general of Hedong.

was promoted to Deng Qiang and other generals, expressing Liu Mang's determination to recover Yongliang.

The fanfare adjustment of the generals of the Western Front Army is to tell Yang Guang that the next step is to eliminate you!

Yang Guang is capable, but his temperament is extremely irritable.

In the face of Liu Mang's provocation, Yang Guangding will be more impatient, more reckless, and more likely to make mistakes.

……

Government affairs.

The eldest grandson, Wuji, was appointed as General Wei and was in charge of military affairs.

Li Hongzhang served as the secretary of the Shaofu and was also responsible for salt, iron, coal and other mining affairs.

Jing Xiang Ren Taichang Shaoqing.

Kou Zhun was appointed as the middle of the imperial history and was in charge of supervision.

Fang Xuanling and Zhang Juzheng shot left and right servants for Shang Shutai.

Fang Xuanling was in charge of imperial court affairs, and Zhang Juzheng was in charge of land tax reform.

After several struggles, the dissident forces in the court have been basically eliminated, and the relationship with the scholars and the family group is good, and Liu Mang has fully controlled the court situation.

Liu Mang's authority has been established, and the families and clans in various places have gradually turned from confrontation to cooperation. The resistance is no longer there, and the time is finally ripe for land tax reform.

Zhang Juzheng, as the right servant of Shangshutai, was fully responsible for all matters related to the reform of land taxation.

Fan Zhongyan, Wang Shouren, Gao Xi, Bao Zheng, Yu Chenglong, Jia Kui and others are in charge of local government affairs.

The Hongnong area is the most important place to protect the Yongliang operation, and Wang Meng and Di Renjie are in charge.

Under the rule of Liu Mang, the government is harmonious and the hearts of the people are harmonious.

Liu Mang calmed down and studied matters related to the Songshan Alliance with Liu Bowen, Du Ruhui, Li Yan, etc.

The main purpose of the Songshan Alliance is to make a pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven and be loyal to the Han family. Although the princes supported their own troops, they did not dare to speak of self-reliance.

Princes from all over the country, including Shixie in Jiaozhou and Liu Yu in Yizhou, all expressed their positions, either in person or sent people to participate.

Only Jingzhou, because Liu Biao was seriously ill, did not give a clear answer for a long time.

Although the princes of the alliance are just a formality, they are of great significance. As the initiator and organizer of the alliance, Liu Mang has a heavy responsibility, and all aspects must be considered thoroughly.

Including the Son of Heaven sacrifice, which princes to negotiate with alone, and the topics of consultation, Liu Mang has to look at them one by one.

For several days in a row, Liu Mang was busy until the second half of the night.

After another midnight, Liu Mang rubbed the back of his neck, preparing to rest earlier.
