People, still people!

As Hua Rong began to reorganize the Dengzhou Naval Division, Ye Chun began to lay the keels of new ships in the three new docks, whether it was in the army or on the docks, the population undoubtedly became the bottleneck of the next expansion of the Naval Division.

Ximenqing's idea of the Dengzhou Navy Division is quite grand, and it is definitely not to rely on a large amount of money to build an invincible fleet at sea, but to build a complete industrial chain centered on the Navy Division and radiating various industries in Dengzhou, a remote military state.

From collecting timber, to soaking qualified ship materials, to ship construction, and other sea ships to supply various livelihoods, its ultimate goal is to build Dengzhou into the largest maritime trade center in the northern Song Dynasty. At that time, relying on the freight capacity of Shandong Logistics Institute, its impact will radiate to the entire Shandong and even the northern coastal roads, and even enough to affect Bianliang Tokyo.

This is undoubtedly a grand project, and the biggest constraint at the moment is population.

Dengzhou is located in a remote area, with less than 100,000 registered people, although there are a large number of displaced people, but they have fled from other states and counties, and the government has no control at all. Moreover, the soldiers required by the water division must also be young and strong who are good at water, and the people in Dengzhou are reluctant to change their military status, and the main composition of the Great Song Xiang Army is the homeless bandits, and the government cannot collect them, this problem is simply unsolvable in the eyes of Hua Rong and Ye Chun.

At the time when the water division was a little anxious, Sun Zhizhou, who was the head of a state, was also troubled, Wang Jie, such a general, was robbed and killed by bandits on the ground in Dengzhou, including Wang Jie, a total of 47 people were killed, this kind of thing, even in Qingzhou, where bandits are most rampant on the ground in Shandong, has never happened.

Needless to say, just this matter, Sun Zhizhou's evaluation will definitely be affected, and now he can only make up for it and find a way to exterminate that group of daring Dengyun Mountain thieves. It's just that this gang of thieves dares to intercept and kill the relatives of military ministers on the official road, and they can even succeed, and their combat power is afraid that they are not bad. Of course, Ximen Qing's subordinates still have nearly 100 elite combat power, but that is not something that Sun Zhizhou can beak.

According to the list of the three ya's soldiers, there should be two commanders of the infantry forbidden army in Dengzhou Mansion, but in fact there are only 600 of them, fortunately, these 600 people are all soldiers, from this point of view, the "sick lieutenant Chi" Sun Li still has a bit of the true character of a martial artist, not a fool who is blindly greedy.

It is precisely because of Sun Li and these 600 soldiers that Dengzhou City was able to keep the city unbroken in the disaster year and block the impact of those mountain people on the state capital. Therefore, Sun Zhizhou and others will not send this strong force out to suppress the thieves, after all, although there is no large number of thieves in Dengzhou, but there are many mountain people and rogues scattered everywhere, if those thieves take advantage of the situation and break Dengzhou City, it will be too late to regret it.

In short, the current Sun Zhizhou is in a dilemma, not only wanting to make Sun Li out of the city to suppress thieves, but also afraid that Dengzhou City will be lost, but he is sentenced to Lu Zai is quite bold, and he broke into the yamen of the logistics office, and asked to see the logistics office that has been promoted at this time.

For the intention of this general judgment, Ximen Qing is naturally clear, and after some refusal, he finally reluctantly agreed, once there are traces of thieves around the city, the guards on Ximen Mansion will try their best to help, which can be regarded as selling the face of this general judge.

Waiting for this Lu Tong to leave the yamen of the logistics office, Ximen Qing put a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then ordered his cronies to go to Dengyun Mountain.

Got Ximenqing's guarantee, Sun Zhizhou immediately ordered the infantry army to raise the jurisdiction of Sun Li's army to enter Dengyun Mountain, but before Sun Li's forbidden army approached Dengyun Mountain, the following two small counties near the sea came to the official document, there were a large number of thieves looting fishing villages along the coast, burning houses all the way, looting materials, just a few days, there have been more than a dozen fishing villages have been looted, and the people have lost countless money, fortunately, the gang of thieves seems to be interested in wealth and goods, and has not killed anyone, so far, no people have been injured by thieves.

Hearing such news, Sun Zhizhou dared to hesitate, and immediately asked Sun Li's forbidden army to be recalled to Dengzhou, and he was ready for a thief to attack the city.

For this situation, Ximenqing is also quite confused, the officials and soldiers do not know how to suppress bandits, only seek self-protection, and let the thieves wreak havoc in the township. Fortunately, there are people around him who understand, Hua Rong is the former Zhizhai of Qingfeng Village, and the reason for this is also clear, in the final analysis, it is Taizu who formulated the military system of "strong cadres and weak branches".

Although this national policy ensured that the strength of the central government was far stronger than that of the various state capitals, and eliminated the local threat to the central government since the Later Tang Dynasty, it also made the local states and counties very weak and powerless in dealing with some bandits and robbers. Today, the imperial court has become more and more strict and harsh, and no matter the forbidden army, the army is all erosive, which has made the strength of the bandits and robbers in the entire Great Song Dynasty increase dramatically, increasing and decreasing.

After all, the countryside can still be prevaricated, if the thieves break through the state capital and county, then it is impossible to hide it, at that time, the court will be investigated, and the officials on the political side will inevitably take their posts and go to remote military states.

As the time went on, in just one month, the number of unemployed and poor people who had accumulated in various prefectures and counties had reached 10,000, and this was undoubtedly a hidden worry for those who were in charge of the government. These poor people who have no shelter and food are like layers of dry firewood, as long as there is a little spark, it will become a prairie fire, and it cannot be said that it is another wave of displaced people that will sweep the entire Dengzhou.

Just when Sun Zhizhou and Lu Zai were at a loss, Ximenqing sent a message that the Dengzhou Sailor was willing to accept these homeless people, but Sun Zhizhou needed to convert the civilian registration of these homeless people into military registration.

In fact, it is a national policy to organize the displaced people into the Xiang Army during the disaster year, but now the number of Xiang troops in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty has reached one million, but it has no combat power, and the money and food of the imperial court are in vain.

Ximenqing is now in charge of the logistics office, a big source of wealth, and his tentacles have spread to all parts of Shandong, and his control and image of private goods are more efficient than those of the government. Therefore, in terms of financial resources, Dengzhou is far inferior to a remote military state.

And more importantly, the current Dengzhou Naval Division has been assigned to the logistics institute Yamen and management, Ximen Qing wants to expand the sailor, and its money and grain are naturally borne by the logistics department, and there is no need for Dengzhou Mansion to spend a copper.

With such a good thing, Sun Zhizhou and Lu Tong judged how could they refuse, and immediately nodded in response.

However, in half a month, Hua Rong's 3,000 sailors were fully manned and officially put into training, and Ye Chun's side was also fully staffed, and the entire sailor wharf was crowded, which was even more lively than Dengzhou Capital City.
