Junan, as the base camp of Changfeng, was operated by him for several years, and a large number of materials hoarded in the city were counted by Wang Bao, Wang Ling and others in two days before they got the specific amount.

"Lord, this is the household registration list in the city, as well as the material list, please take a look." In the original Junan County Ya Hall, Wang Ling handed the counted account books to Han Lie.

Taking a roll of round bamboo slips, Han Lie put it on the desk in front of him and said, "Yanyun, you should have a good harvest from your face, you might as well read it with everyone." ”

"Whoa." Wang Ling said happily: "There are a total of 21,671 households in Junan, with a total population of 63,537. ”

"So many people?" Hearing Wang Ling's words, even Xu Huang, who had always been calm, couldn't help but exclaim.

"Sixty-three thousand, that's the population of a county." Zhao Yun was also surprised, knowing that since the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army, the population of many counties has been less than one-third of the original.

Especially in Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places where the Yellow Turban rebels were hit hard, it can be said that there are ten rooms and nine emptiness, just like when Han Lie counted his household registration in Yecheng in Donglai, the population of the county was less than 10,000, which was still because Donglai was remote and the impact was not particularly large.

Similarly, Han Lie led the army all the way south, passing through Donglai County, most of the county population is less than 10,000 people, which is also the reason why he has only gathered 30,000 people along the way.

It is also the reason why everyone will be surprised to see a county with a population of tens of thousands when they see it along the way, so they will suddenly see a county with a population of tens of thousands.

Whether the population is for a wealthy family, or a county, or a country, it is fundamental, no population, no matter how much arable land is useless, no population, it means that there are no soldiers, no productivity, there will be no food, so in the era of cold weapons, the reproduction and prosperity of the population is often the thing that the ruler cares about the most.

This is also why the old people will say that unfilial piety has three no queens, and there are no descendants, which means that the incense is cut off, and a country has no people, so it is naturally not called a country.

In the face of everyone's surprise, Wang Ling couldn't help but say: "Actually, this is not surprising, Junan has rarely had a war in recent years, and Taishan Kou is within his own range, and his rule and maintenance are quite good, so many people who fled around have chosen to settle down in Junan, plus the population of Taishan Kou plundered everywhere, thus creating such a large population in this county." ”

Hearing Wang Ling's explanation, everyone also thought so, and Han Lie also spoke: "It seems that Taishan Kou can stand tall, and it still has a lot to do with their governance of the territory, if it is not for Chang Xuan to take the initiative to attack this time, we are afraid that we may not be able to capture Junan if we increase the number of 20,000 horses." ”

"What the lord said is very true." Wang Ling echoed and said, "My lord, Junan is nominally the territory of Langya County after all, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay permanently, will all the people in the city move?" ”

"Needless to say, 60,000 people are enough to feed 6,000 soldiers, and they must be relocated." Dian Wei immediately showed his attitude.

Han Lie nodded, and said, "Junan is located in the area of Mount Tai, which is indeed not conducive to perseverance, and it is inevitable that the population will move away, but with such a large population, resettlement is a big problem, and we must make proper arrangements." By the way, Yanyun, you can talk about the material problem. ”

"Whoa." Wang Ling said: "The treasury has a total of 15,000 stones of grain, 7,000 pieces of weapons and armor, 3,000 gold in gold, 43 million copper coins, and a number of cloth and silk, worth 20 million yuan. ”

"What, such a big city, only this little food?" Hearing that there was only 15,000 stone of grain in the treasury, everyone was a little dumbfounded, but it was normal to think about it.

Junan is located in a mountainous area, the land is barren, although there are 60,000 people in the city, but they have to feed 12,000 soldiers and horses in Changxian, this ratio is quite large, almost an average of six people to feed a soldier, if it is a rich area, it can barely support, in a poor ravine like Junan, it is obviously impossible to feed such soldiers and horses.

This is also the reason why the group of Taishan Kou did not go out to plunder in the autumn, because if they did not stock up on the food for the next spring before winter, the army might go hungry; This is also the reason why they have money but no food in their treasury.

For more than a year, in order to balance the Taishan group, Tao Qian strictly controlled the grain in the East China Sea, Xiapi, Pengcheng, Guangling and other places, and appointed Danyang Haoqiang Rong as the minister of Xiapi, and at the same time served as the transfer envoy of the four counties, responsible for collecting all the grain and grass in various places, so as not to let a grain flow out of the north.

Tao Qian's salary at the bottom of the kettle can be said to be a fundamental sanction for the Taishan Bandits, forcing them to not mention that they could not increase their troops at all, and they had to keep looting to the north, so that the reputation of the Taishan Bandits became synonymous with thieves in the mouths of the people of Qingzhou.

"It's okay, I'll go to Tao Yuanjun to solve the food problem, Uncle Xu, you and Wang Renjing immediately led the troops to take the people of Donglai to Licheng immediately, Gongming, Zilong, you led the troops to forcibly relocate the local people, whether they want to or not, they will all be escorted to Licheng, at this time, we will not talk about benevolence and righteousness, this is a matter of principle, do not hesitate." Han Lie made this decision for two reasons, one is that he really needs these populations, and the other is that the current Licheng can completely feed these people, as long as it is properly arranged, the rich Haizhou Bay, let alone feed 60,000 people, even 600,000 people can be stuffed.

The reason why Han Lie is so confident is naturally that the first city he went to in the late Han Dynasty was Licheng, if Han Lie's memory was not wrong, Licheng was the location of Lianyungang in later generations, and Licheng at this time was just a small city on the coast of the East China Sea, but the geographical area was actually the entire area of Lianyungang in later generations.

Such a large coastal area was still a wasteland at this time, and if this sea area was used, Han Lie was confident that it would be enough to create amazing wealth.

"Whoa." Regarding Han Lie's move to forcibly relocate the people, all the generals obviously supported it in their hearts, so this was a loud answer.

"Zilan, you are in charge of the prisoner work, I want you to select two thousand strong people from the captives to enrich the team, remember to select a group of clean family members, it is best to have a small family in the city, so that it is easier to return to the heart." In this battle, Han Lie's troops lost 700 people, annihilated 10,000 horses and horses, killed more than 2,000 people, and captured more than 6,000 people.

However, based on the current shortage of materials, and the fact that he had just arrived in Xuzhou, Han Lie did not dare to be too public, once the troops were expanded, not only would there be an economic burden, but also would be criticized, replenishing 2,000 people, excluding the 700 soldiers killed and disabled in the battle, Han Lie actually only increased 1,300 troops, from the original 4,100 to 5,400 people, such a base will naturally not cause much impact, and at the same time, it will not increase too much military salary expenditure.

"Whoa!" Xia Houlan got up and bowed, then turned around and retreated.

"Brother Dian, you take the guards to Tancheng with me, Yanyun, you pick out some valuable gifts for me, I need to visit some people in Tancheng this time." Han Lie finally named Dian Wei to follow him to Tancheng to visit Tao Qian, and at the same time asked Wang Ling, the main man, to prepare a batch of gifts for himself, after all, if he visits Tao Qian, the number of etiquette cannot be lost, and secondly, some local celebrities in Xuzhou are also the objects he needs to make friends with.

"Whoa." The two people who sat on the ground at the bottom of the table hurriedly got up and responded.

Han Lie stayed in Junan for only one night, and then led Dian Wei to lead fifty personal cavalry retinues, carrying gifts worth thousands of gold, and went to Tancheng, the seat of Xuzhou Governance.

Before leaving, Han Lie naturally said goodbye to Cai Yan, she had always understood what Han Lie was going to do, and in order to comfort Han Lie, she took the initiative to offer a kiss.

As for the people who moved to Licheng, how to resettle, this way south, Han Lie synthesized the knowledge in his mind, and had already written a detailed resettlement plan, believing that as long as Wang Ling and Wang Leopard were arranged according to their own methods, there would not be too much chaos.

Just when Han Lie and Dian Wei and his entourage rushed to the city of Tancheng, the news that Chang Feng was defeated and killed under the city of Junan also spread throughout Xuzhou.

The mansion of the handsome Zang Ba pushed by the Kou Gong of Kaiyang Taishan.

Wu Dun and Sun Guan Sun Kang, brothers who learned that Chang Feng was defeated and killed, rushed to Kaiyang to meet Zang Ba from their respective territories, and above the huge hall, Zang Ba and the others were a little gloomy at this moment, and the atmosphere was also quite tense.

"Dashuai, you really can't bear to watch our brothers, one of them die in the hands of that Han Lie?" After a period of silence, Sun Guan looked directly at Zang Ba on the main seat with some irrepressible expression, and from his undulating panting, Sun Guan's excitement could be seen at this moment.

Zang Ba, who was sitting on the main seat, was wearing a gray robe and a feather crown on his head, about thirty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face, an inch-long black beard on his lips and chin, and a ring-headed knife hanging from his waist.

Zang Ba looks majestic, but he is not like Yin Lichang in the Taishan group, and Wu Dun was born in a reckless manner, he is the son of an official eunuch, although his father is a small official in Taishan County, but since he was a child, the etiquette education he received was the influence of loyalty to the country, so even if he later fell into the grass Kou, he still has the court in his heart and is determined to make contributions to the country.

This is also the reason why Tao Qian first arrived in Xuzhou four years ago, just sent someone to send a letter of recruitment, and he did not hesitate to lead three thousand soldiers and horses to defect, and then he followed Tao Qian through dozens of stations, swept away and annihilated the Yellow Turban rebels in Xuzhou in one fell swoop, and was awarded the post of cavalry captain by Tao Qian.

Now the reason why he chose to support the army in Kaiyang to protect himself was also because he found that although Tao Qian was benevolent, he was too pedantic and loyal, because after Tao Qian annihilated the Yellow Turban thieves, he was worried that they would be disloyal to the imperial court, and tried to confiscate the military power of these people in one fell swoop, and under the bewitchment of some of the powerful people who were plundered by them when they were thieves, he was actually ready to punish some of them.

Zang Ba was categorically unbearable for this, and in the end he had to leave with Taishan and the group, which caused the fact that he had self-respect for the army.

At this moment, in the face of Sun Guan's questioning, Zang Ba's brows furrowed slightly, and he said after a long time: "Chang Xuan's death is all his own fault, but the revenge of killing my brother has to be avenged, from now on, send a scout team Han Lie to conduct a comprehensive investigation, I want to know all the details of this person, only by thoroughly grasping the information of this person, can we know each other and know ourselves." ”

"Please rest assured, this matter will be handed over to me Wu Dun is, I will definitely let that Han Lie pay for his blood debt." Wu Dun squinted his eyes, and the hatred for Han Lie in his eyes was not concealed at all. If you want to say who he has the best relationship with among the Taishan group, it is undoubtedly Yin Li, but he is his best brother, but he was killed by Han Lie's men and horses under Beihai City, and he has not even been able to find the corpse capital for burial.
