Chapter 67 Solving the Population Problem
It should also be the case, otherwise, not all talents in the Three Kingdoms are born for the battlefield, there are still many internal talents, and the system will naturally not ignore their importance.
Liu Meng was mixed with joy and sorrow at this time, and the good news was that as long as he worked hard to expand his territory and worked hard, then in the future, the monthly killing intent value provided by the territory may exceed the gain gained by killing enemy soldiers in battle, and become the main means of enhancing his strength.
Just like this time, although he won the county town of Hedong, he didn't get much killing intent value, but he only got about 10,000 when he attacked the Niu Fu camp, but these are just a drop in the bucket for him, at this time there are still 7,000 people in the halberd battalion, which is only enough for the halberd battalion to maintain for half a month, do you want to kill those soldiers? Not to mention whether Liu Meng is so cold-blooded, that is, no enemy will dare to surrender to him in the future, and he, Liu Meng, can't do this.
The worry is that he has no internal affairs talents now, although Guo Jia has tax collection skills and is also involved in internal affairs, but his main role is still in the war, and he is reluctant to make him a city guard.
It seems that we can only find a way to attract talents from all over the world, not to have a name or surname, but to be able to govern internal affairs.
The county town of Hedong was broken, the main force of Niu Fu was wiped out, and the remaining cities were well recovered, and those border cities had more than two or three thousand soldiers, and only a few hundred soldiers.
After mastering a place in Hedong, plus a tiger prison, Liu Meng's monthly killing intent value increased to 15,000, but it was still not enough to maintain his subordinates, there was no way, the scale and population of the remaining cities were far inferior to those of Hedong County, but fortunately, it only consumed 10,000 per month, and now it can still support eight months.
"Fengxiao, now that my ability has changed, the energy I obtain can change due to the change in the size and population of the city in the territory, I wonder if you have a way to attract the population to move over, or do you have any internal affairs talents to recommend me?"
Liu Meng knew that Guo Jia and the internal affairs genius Xun Yu were good friends, and he said this to remind Guo Jia to recommend Xun Yu to him.
"Jia is an internal political talent, and he is known as Wang Zuozhicai by the world, and his internal affairs methods are no worse than Jia Jun's strategic means." When he said this, Guo Jia's eyes were full of confidence, and he only lost more than 1,000 soldiers to gain a place in Hedong after he went out to the army twice, Guo Jia did have the capital of self-confidence.
"Oh? Could it be that Xun Yu is Fengxiao's friend? Why didn't Feng Xiao say it earlier, I will go with you to invite him. Liu Meng made a surprised and sincere look.
"It's a pity that he already has a famous lord, I heard that Cao Cao issued a recruitment order, and when Jialai defected to the lord, he moved to Chen Liutou with his family to Cao Cao." Guo Jia smiled bitterly.
Liu Meng was a little speechless, can't you finish what you said in one go? Hurt me to waste a look in vain.
"This, it seems that Cao Cao's people are all around him, Dian Wei and Xu Chu's two god-level bodyguards are considered the top military forces in Cao Cao's army, and Guo Jia is Cao Cao's most relied on strategist, is it a bit unkind to dig up his top internal affairs talents? How can I say that I am also good friends with Cao Cao now, forget it. Liu Meng could only comfort himself like this.
However, if Liu Meng is really given a chance, he will spare no effort to dig these people up, although he respects Cao Cao, and the relationship between the two is also very good now, but he doesn't know if Cao Cao will change in the future, after all, history has not changed much now, although he protected Emperor Xian and did not let it be in the hands of thieves, but the prosperity of the Han family is still far away, God knows whether Cao Cao will rise again after his strength grows in the future, and he will still have the safest idea of taking these talents under his command.
This is also Liu Meng's contradiction, in later generations his favorite monarch is Cao Cao, although later generations scolded him more than praise, but he is the part of the people who praise, he does not want Cao Cao to bear the infamy as in history, so he has been making friends with his heart, in order to one day calm the princes of the world and Cao Cao to discuss the foreign races outside the Saiwai in order to raise the prestige of the country, which is not contrary to Liu Meng's original intention after coming to this era.
"As for the matter of the population asked by the lord, Jiazhi thought that the lord's original idea could be implemented, at this time, the impact of the Yellow Turban Rebellion has not been eliminated, a large number of people have been displaced, as long as the lord takes back the land in the hands of the big families in Hedong and distributes it to the people for farming, it can attract a large number of displaced people, but this move is afraid that the lord will become the enemy of the clan, and how to choose is up to the lord."
"Feng Xiao thinks that if he gives some compensation to the big families, will it reduce their resistance? For example, to seal some high-ranking official positions but have no real power, or promise to repay double in the future, etc. ”
"This method is feasible, but these must be established when the lord lets them see the prospects of our army, and they will spare no effort to support it, and I am afraid it will not have any effect at this time."
"Haha, what's the matter, why can't I talk about big things if I have filial piety? I think that it will not be long before these people will see the prospects of our army. Liu Meng is full of confidence.
"Jia will do everything in his power to help the Lord achieve great things." Guo Jia was very moved.
"Now that the population matter has been resolved, can we also follow Cao Cao's promulgation order to recruit talents?" Liu Meng asked.
"I'm afraid the effect is not too good, the lord's power is still weak, there is not enough money, food and grass, although there are many sergeants, most of them are soldiers, and it is difficult to use them in the war without a period of reorganization, these can not be hidden from those people." Guo Jia said helplessly.
Speaking of this, Guo Jia's eyes lit up, and he patted his leg and said: "Yes, when it comes to descending soldiers, I think that these Xiliang soldiers can also be used, and the lord can let these people write letters at home, so that their families can move to Hedong, although it is difficult to leave the homeland, but moving here can not only reunite with the family but also arable land to plant, it is estimated that there will be no fewer servants, and this move can also make these soldiers return to their hearts as soon as possible, which is really killing two birds with one stone." ”
Liu Meng also felt that this matter was feasible when he heard it, and Guo Jia really kept surprising him.
Although there is no good way to solve the matter of talents, but the matter of population has been solved, Liu Meng knows that the food should be eaten one bite at a time, as long as he has the strength of the population, it will slowly expand, sooner or later one day these clans will see his prospects.
After the two orders were conveyed, they attracted the attention of the displaced people around Hedong, and they came to Hedong one after another, and the same was true for Xiliang, who packed up their bags and looked at Hedong after receiving letters from their relatives.
On this day, Liu Meng was discussing with Guo Jia about the resettlement of the first batch of displaced people, when suddenly someone came to report that a woman asked to see him.
PS: Some readers feel that the protagonist is a failure to be very good to Cao Cao, and even say that the protagonist is afraid that the enemy in the future will be too weak, so in this chapter I explained the psychology of the protagonist, of course, whether the two will become enemies in the future, it's too early to say, a hundred people may have a hundred opinions, I don't know if you approve or not?
