Chapter 232: Grace and Might

The two Yulin soldiers strode in: "King Yuwen, the execution has been completed." ”

Wang Xu waved his hand, and the two Yulin soldiers turned around and walked out.

At this time, the forty county orders were completely stunned, Wang Xu actually said that he would kill him, and even the investigation was exempted, this style is really different from the government, after all, the anti-thief is the anti-thief, all the power is in the hands of Wang Xu, Wang Xu can judge life and death with a word! This made the county commanders even more insecure, and looked at Wang Xu in awe.

"Take a good look, this is the fate of the secret thief, are there any people like Wu Xingming among you?"

As soon as Wang Xu finished speaking, everyone trembled and said, "No, no, no." ”

"I will concentrate on internal affairs in the future, and I dare not have the slightest rebellious heart."

Wang Xu glanced at everyone again, and finally walked up the jade steps and sat on the throne: "Get up, I hope you will remember today's words, otherwise once he Wu Xingming is in the future, it will be your end!" ”

Everyone asked Nuo Nuo to get up, but they didn't dare to open their eyes to look at Wang Xu on the throne, even though a few people raised their eyes boldly, they immediately lowered their heads.

Wang Xu suddenly smiled and said: "You don't have to be afraid, for those rebellious thieves, this king will not be soft, but he is extremely protective of his loyal subordinates; Hexi County is fertile for thousands of miles, and the territory is vast, and you will need to work together in the future. ”

After hearing Wang Xu's words, the county commanders were all happy in their hearts, and from the analysis of Wang Xu's words, their county order position must have been retained, and Wang Xu did not plan to change people.

"We will obey King Wen's will."

"King Yiwen is the first to look forward."

Wang Xu nodded with a smile, and then picked up a stack of pamphlets on the table: "These pamphlets contain the new official system and new policies I formulated. The first thing to do after returning to their respective county offices is to implement all the policies in these booklets. ”

Xiangyue took the booklet, walked down the jade steps, and handed out a copy to each county order.

"Take a good look at it, it must be strictly enforced!"

Wang Xu said: "Refer to the new official position. You are all Jiupin County Order, and the relevant appointment documents will be issued to you by the Military Aircraft Department in the fastest time. ”

Everyone was overjoyed: "Thank you, King Wen." ”

Wang Xu beckoned back, and Xiangyue ordered someone to bring a large amount of silver and bottles of Wenwang Immortal Brew.

Wang Xu said with a smile: "The initial decision of Hexi County is something worth celebrating, this king has decided to reward each person with a thousand taels of silver, and King Wen has two bottles of immortal brewing, I hope that you will manage the county and not let this king down." ”

Slap and rub three times. Enwei and Shi, this is the emperor's technique, Wang Xu has already thought about it, and it is necessary to make the county orders of each county sincerely convinced.

Sure enough, everyone's gratitude was beyond words, and they didn't expect Wang Xu to be so generous, and it was a thousand taels of silver at every turn. It's really like flowing water, you must know that Jia Hui and the others only have a few hundred taels of silver a year. And the amount of a county order is only a few dozen taels.

"Thank you, King Wen!"

Wang Xu waved his hand, and the forty county commanders all walked out of the hall happily with the silver and immortal brew in their arms, and everyone did not have the previous fear color, but they were still afraid of Wang Xu from the bottom of their hearts, and they always remembered the scene when Wu Xingming was beheaded. The crowd still shuddered.

Wang Xu looked at Jia Hui and said, "Has the money and grain of the government treasury of Hexi County been counted?" ”

Jia Hui stepped out of the ranks, took out a piece of music, and said, "It's been counted, please take a look at it." ”

Xiangyue stepped forward and took it, and Wang Xu took it and looked at it carefully. After a while, Wang Xu's face was gloomy, and he was puzzled: "Why is there only 150,000 grain in this huge Hexi County?" ”

"I remember that when we captured Guxi County last year, we still had more than 200,000 deniers of grain; The land of Hexi County is twice that of Guxi County, how can this be? ”

Han Shushu is more familiar with Guxi County, and said: "King Yuwen, because of the soil and climate here, the people who farm in Hexi County are very scarce, and most of the people mainly feed horses for a living. ”

Wang Xu suddenly remembered that when Li Yunhai came to Hexi County to buy grain, he also said that there was not much grain in Hexi County, but there were as many war horses.

If there is no food, then the next thing is trouble; Wang Xu originally thought that he would start a large number of army expansions next, but now it seems that it is a little difficult.

Putting this matter aside, Wang Xu looked at Jia Hui and continued: "Your military aircraft department must do its best to do two things now, first, it is the farming season at this moment, and the people near the Yangtze River must cultivate a large number of people, I think there is no different from Guxi County after that; This matter is left to you, well, you can tell the people that after the autumn harvest, the government will pay a high price for their grain! ”

"Second, we must select forty students with good martial arts in the Wuying Palace, and serve as the county Wei of each county, as for the original county soldiers in each county, all of them will be disbanded, and new county soldiers will be recruited, the number of which will be one thousand, and they will be implemented immediately."

Jia Hui said: "Don't worry, the lord will do it immediately." ”

This concludes the morning session.

Wang Xu left the main hall and walked towards the harem, but as soon as he entered the harem with his front foot, Li Zhi, Sun Yu and others came, as if something was wrong.

Outside Zhang Xue's room, Wang Xu looked at a few people and said, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Sun Yu said: "Lord, isn't it time to expand the cavalry under the last general, this Hexi County is full of war horses." ”

Li Zhi and Liao Yun also have quite an opinion, Li Zhi's subordinates are all recruits, and they have suffered heavy casualties, and now even the establishment is crippled; Liao Yun is even more miserable, he originally only had 5,000 people, and there were only more than 3,000 people left in a battle some time ago, this strength is far worse than Huang Quan and others, and even Qiancang and Min Ling are not as good as them.

Wang Xu understands everyone's intentions very well, but this matter is a bit difficult to do.

"Do you think I don't want to expand my army? Food shortage, how can it continue? ”

Wang Xu has already calculated, there are less than 150,000 grain left in the past, plus the current 150,000, it is only about 300,000, if you raise an army of 100,000, it will only be enough for six months, that is to say, it can last until the autumn harvest; But the autumn harvest has a hairy use, and Hexi County doesn't even have the people to farm.

If the army is to be expanded, then it must be fair, at least restore the strength of all the generals, and Liao Yun's troops should be increased to 20,000, so that all the troops will add up to about 150,000 (plus Zhao Long's army).

This is not counting the county soldiers in each county, forty counties, each county has a thousand people, this is 40,000 people! How much food should I eat? All the troops added up are almost 200,000.

Sun Yu said: "Lord, we can buy it, buy it from Beijun." ”

"Li Yunhai has been buying food, but that is also a drop in the bucket, and it is impossible to maintain the use of the army." Wang Xu sighed: "The matter of expanding the army, let's discuss it later." ”

Everyone dispersed helplessly, and Wang Xu walked into Zhang Xue's room. (To be continued......)
