Chapter 128: Rest assured
After Lu Bu finished talking about how to solve the problem of how to eat food for the army and civilians, he stopped and looked at Chang Lin and Hu Wubiao, wanting to hear what suggestions they had. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Chang Lin thought for a while and said: "Yuanyin and Yuanyang are both near the river, if you can provide some chickens, ducks and lambs, you can let the children who have nothing to do be free-range, and when the weather is cold, you can also provide some nutritious meat, which is more conducive to the border people who have just come here to resist the cold winter." ”
Lu Bu nodded and agreed to Chang Lin's request.
Hu Wubiao also added: "Is it possible to set up a grass market facing the Southern Xiongnu and Qianghu people in the north of Yuanyin, and send troops to maintain order and let the three parties trade goods every five and ten, so that it can be convenient for the people, and the Yuanyin County Government can also collect taxes, and then use the taxes to buy grain, so as to reduce the burden on the county and Tiance Mansion." ”
The bazaar is generally within the castle and is the city of the city. Grass markets are generally in the countryside and are open regularly. Hu Wubiao's grass market means that it is located in the wild north of Yuanyin County, and people gather to trade every five and ten.
Lu Bu thought for a moment and replied: "The idea of opening a grass market in the north of Yuanyin is feasible, but it is necessary to set the rules in advance, draw up the regulations, and more importantly, strictly prohibit our people from privately providing weapons, pig iron, medicinal herbs, saltpeter, sulfur and other important controlled materials to the Southern Xiongnu and Qianghu people!" ”
Chang Lin and Hu Wubiao nodded at the same time, fully understanding what Lu Bu meant.
Lu Bu continued: "Regarding the aspect of wearing, there is no problem at the moment because it is still the end of summer and the temperature is high. However, it is important to prepare for the winter in advance! I have heard that 70 miles east of the white soil is rich in coal, and if you dig some depth, you can dig some depth, and you can dig very flammable carbon, which has a huge reserve in the ground and can be collected and used. When I return to Lishi, I will instruct the craftsmen to make some stoves for burning charcoal, and then you can organize the people to imitate them, and rely on them to keep out the cold in winter. ”
"In addition, I also heard that the Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions produces a kind of white cotton, which is suitable for weaving cloth in the defense line, and the locals call it Baidian. Clothes made of white laminated cloth are not only durable and wear-resistant, but also close to the body and absorb sweat. After the grass market is opened, you can pay attention to it, send people to trade with the Qianghu people, and let them find a way to get some cotton seeds, and try to cultivate and plant them around the Xihe River in the future. ”
After Lu Bu finished talking about "wearing", Chang Lin and Hu Wubiao had no more suggestions for the time being. However, the problem of clothing is not very urgent, because as long as you have a place to live, even if you wear less in winter, you will not freeze to death in the wild.
"On the issue of housing, I would like to emphasize a few words in particular. In the past few days, I braved the rain to inspect the earthen caves in the two counties that have been abandoned for more than 10 years, and found that the inside is still intact, except that the doors and windows have been demolished, in fact, it is still habitable. For this reason, I believe that as soon as the weather clears, we should organize manpower to repair and strengthen the existing caves in Yuanyin and Yuanyang counties, so that the people can temporarily live in them. After that, he vigorously built caves in the two counties, so that all the people and the army could live in the caves! ”
"In addition to the caves, the county seats of Yuanyin and Yuanyang counties are also dilapidated, but with the current manpower, it is temporarily impossible to rebuild. Therefore, except for the two county government offices, other brick and tile houses and mud houses are not allowed to be built for the time being. In order to take the lead, the Lu family and the Huang family will also live in caves and do not build manors on flat land for the time being. Regarding the security protection of the two counties, the Tiance Army will be solely responsible, so it is strictly forbidden for any family to build a dock fort in the county! ”
The fort was originally a fortification used by Haoqiang to protect himself, and the construction was not only labor-intensive and time-consuming, but once completed, it became a basis for Haoqiang to resist the local government. Although the Lü clan also had a dock fort, it was on the side, and the purpose was not to fight against the government but against the Hu people. Now that the border people have moved inward, Lu Bu has set a rule in advance, strictly prohibiting any family from engaging in this kind of city within a city, Guo within a Guo.
"Finally, there is the problem of use, which involves a wide range of aspects, from ploughing cattle and horse-drawn carts to small needles and threads, all of which are needed by the people. Nowadays, all kinds of materials in the entire Xihe County are very scarce, so they can only let the military and civilians save money, and everything is simple and frugal. Important materials such as salt, medicinal materials, lamp oil, work tools, cooking utensils, and stoves involved in civil use will be separately listed in Yuanyin and Yuanyang, and will be allocated and replenished regularly according to the total population. The scarce materials allocated and supplemented by the Tiance Mansion are limited to the people of the two counties for their own use, and foreign transactions are strictly prohibited. Moreover, it is not provided free of charge, and the people need to pay a certain amount of money and goods for equivalent transactions. ”
According to his own considerations these days, Lu Bu carefully sorted out the issues involving the people's "food, clothing, mastery, and use" to Chang Lin and Hu Wubiao, and the two listened very carefully, and secretly marveled at Lu Bu's erudition and erudition.
From the government's collection of taxes and material embargoes, to the white cotton cloth and the charcoal stove, one will mention seventy miles east of Baishi, and the other will mention the Western Regions Changshi Mansion thousands of miles away, such a meticulous and concerned lord is really unheard of!
Zhang Liao and Xu Rong have been sitting in the tent to listen, they used to listen to Lu Bu specialize in military calculations, and now they listen to Lu Bu teach civilian officials the experience of governing internal affairs, but the two are not as surprised as Chang Lin and Hu Wubiao, but take it for granted. In their impressions, there didn't seem to be anything that Lu Bu didn't know and wouldn't know.
After explaining everything that should be explained, and telling what should be told again, Lu Bu can finally let go and entrust the affairs of the two counties to Chang Lin and Hu Wubiao.
After another two days, the weather finally cleared, and Lü Bu left Zhang Liao and Hou Cheng to guard Yuanyin and Yuanyang, and he took his wife Yan and daughter Lü Wen, as well as 4,000 cavalrymen, and carried more than 3,000 Xianbei prisoners, carrying a large number of livestock and booty, and went to Lishi together.
Yuanyin and Yuanyang are currently barren, there is nothing worthy of the Southern Xiongnu and Qianghu people risking their lives to plunder, there are 1,000 cavalry and 1,000 trapped warriors to defend temporarily, which can basically cope with it for a while.
When Lu Bu returns to Lishi, he will definitely have to make a major adjustment to the defensive forces of each county, and at that time, he will naturally send more troops to Yuanyin and Yuanyang. With the style of revenge and revenge of the Tiance army, if anyone dares to come to Yuanyin and Yuanyang to harass at this time, then wait for Lu Bu to lead the cavalry to cut off the head again!
Lu Bu originally wanted to take his parents to live in Lishi's Tiance Mansion for a while, but Huang and Lu Liang were reluctant to leave, they were now full of enthusiasm for building a new home, but they were not very enthusiastic about the so-called enjoyment of brocade clothes and jade food.
Lu Bu understands the traditional thinking of his parents, and he knows very well that even in another 2,000 years, the Han people's love and attachment to their homeland and homeland will be no different from now.
