Chapter Seventy-Two: The Mercenary Project Begins

191 A.D. [Luoyang]

Although it is only a year later, but the workers who rush to work day and night are stimulated by attractive salaries, or Luoyang has undergone earth-shaking changes, if the original Luoyang is just a county seat in later generations, even county-level cities are not counted, but today's Luoyang alone has the scale of a medium-sized prefecture-level city in later generations, of course, it can do so fast because Liu Wei did not repair the outer city wall. You must know that this construction speed has been twice as happy as Zhou Shizong (Zhao Kuangyin's predecessor) Chai Rong built the new capital Kaifeng nearly a thousand years later, when Chai Rong used 100,000 people to work for two years, but people built the city wall;

The reason why Liu Wei dared not to build the city wall is also considered, Luoyang is surrounded by plains, flat terrain, and rich in agricultural materials, if the enemy army surrounds Luoyang City, the Luoyang people in the city have no food, because agriculture is placed outside the city by Liu Bian, and the besieging army can have local supplies, saving long-distance transportation and supply consumption, so Liu Bian did not build the city wall of Luoyang, and Liu Bian's ultimate idea is to take Luoyang as the center to make a west to Hangu Pass, east to Hujiao Pass, A megacity to the north of Mengjin Port, and to the south are the towering mountains that are natural barriers, and both passes are much stronger than a city wall, so there is no need to build the city wall;

On the other hand, Liu Wei has planned Luoyang City in the new city as an industrial zone, but in fact, the industry that Liu Wei thinks about is not the kind of industry that later generations; When Liu Bi was a child, he always listened to Comrade Lao Fang's nagging about the party's teachings on labor to create wealth, and Liu Bi has always regarded it as the truth, but when he grew up, he slowly found that it didn't seem to be so true, many farmers and uncles in mountain villages cultivated the land by themselves, and their sweat beads dripped eight petals a day, which was definitely a model of labor, but they felt that they had not created wealth, and they barely had enough food and clothing; Later, Comrade Lao Fang's views also slowly changed, telling Liu Biao that science and technology create wealth, Liu Bian felt that this time it was much more reliable than the statement that labor creates wealth, and it sounded so lofty, but after thinking about it, it is true that some science and technology are creating wealth, but it is not the fundamental reason, many cutting-edge science and technology began to be invented for the purpose of not for the civilian field, not even for making money, what atomic land, intercontinental missiles, stealth fighters, submarines, nuclear bombs, these things seem to be particularly money-burning, There is no sign of wealth creation; Later, Liu Wei listened to a public class of a cottage teacher, and the teacher mentioned a point of view that refreshed Liu Bian's cognition, the teacher said that division of labor and collaboration are the foundation of wealth creation; The teacher also gave an example, that is, a worker who operates each process by himself cannot produce even one needle a day, but if the needle-making process is divided into more than a dozen, more than a dozen workers can create tens of thousands of needles a day through detailed division of labor and cooperation, so as to create wealth in a simple and magical way; This is the reason for the generation of wealth, Liu Wei was shocked to hear it at the time and worshiped the teacher as a god, and later learned that this was mentioned in Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations in the seventeenth century hundreds of years ago, but he just knew; Through the deep memory of that open class, Liu Wei now has a strong confidence that he can use the detailed division of labor and cooperation to set up various factories in the new Luoyang urban area to produce some daily necessities without any high-tech;

Liu Wei introduced a lot of policies a year ago, generally speaking, it is a policy to encourage the birth of babies and encourage locals to bring outsiders to Luoyang, including the protection of private property, but also to let businessmen from all over the world come to Luoyang to do business, it is best to settle in Luoyang or buy a property, in fact, the so-called protection of private property is just Liu Wei's wishful thinking, in this era, it is difficult for you to really protect private property, powerful people through some means to take away other people's private property you can't manage, maybe a lot of times you don't even know, But that is not what Liu Wei is most concerned about, and the only way that Liu Wei can protect private property is that the government and the army that Liu Wei can control do not take away other people's private property;

However, although Liu Wei used so many policies to recruit all kinds of people to Luoyang, the effect did not meet Liu Wei's requirements, Luoyang to 191 A.D. was only about 130,000 people, for the city of Luoyang, which is now basically completed, it is still a very small population, and 100% of it is concentrated in the old city of Luoyang, and the new city is now like a ghost town, except for the workers who are still working, they can't see life;

Liu Wei thought that he needed to do something now, the first thing was to start his "mercenary plan" immediately, Liu Wei used two plans to carry out at the same time after discussing with Jia Xu, one is to post the list everywhere in Luoyang City, His Royal Highness the King of Hongnong in Luoyang City recruits talents, all those who can recommend the wise men and famous generals for the King of Hongnong are rewarded, and the generals who are recommended are still the generals of the headquarters to lead the troops and horses, and never disperse the troops, and the grain and grass are distributed by the King of Hongnong, as long as they obey the deployment of the King of Hongnong to attack the target when they go out of the war; Anyone who can recommend more than 5,000 people to the army of more than 5,000 people can directly serve as the deputy general of the army, by the king of Hongnong for the salary, all can recommend more than 10,000 troops of the army of the competent people not only serve as the army's deputy general, but also can be suspended to the imperial court's Shaofu or Zhongshu Order, Liu Wei as a prince can be directly sealed in his own fiefdom, in fact, in today's troubled times, as a state pastor, there are many people who go to seal others and become state pastors, as long as they have strength, report to the court, the court loves to listen or not. Pen? Interesting?
