Chapter 41: Lu Bu was angry
After visiting the naval base, Lu Bu was generally satisfied.
He also knew that if he was in a hurry, the navy could not be built overnight.
The only dissatisfaction is that the number of naval personnel is simply too small.
Guan Cheng has already recruited all the pirates around him, but the number is only about 5,000.
Lu Bu's goal is a million navy, which is completely far from it.
And to go out on an expedition, Lu Bu must have at least 30,000 naval staff.
But Lu Bu didn't want to recruit troops. Because now Xuzhou has a lot of industries to prosper, a large number of workers are needed.
Although he can still recruit another 200,000 young people, this will definitely affect economic development.
Lu Bu will not pull all the young and strong into the army like the other candidates.
It's a complete reversal of the cart before the horse, and it simply can't last.
There are only old and weak women and children among the people, and what do they use to give birth.
Therefore, Lu Bu ordered all the 100,000 conquest troops to come to the sea for training.
Each batch lasts for a month, and then 25,000 are selected from the 100,000 elite soldiers to join the navy.
Of course, the trapped camp also has to come to Haixun.
Lu Bu will have to cross the sea in the future, trapping the camp as his personal guard, of course, he must be able to withstand the dizziness of the waves.
As long as Lu Bu is elite, he is absolutely elite.
The reason why there are defeats is actually because the soldiers are too weak in many cases.
In this way, even if there are millions of troops, they are not of great use.
What Lu Bu wants is a peerless soldier who will not retreat like a trapped camp.
Only with such an army will Lu Bu be sent to the battlefield.
Of the 160,000 troops under LΓΌ Bu's command, only the most elite 100,000 horses were the conquest army.
The other 50,000 were guards, who were mainly responsible for guarding the city and various mines. The remaining 10,000 old and infirm were organized into government officials, whose duties were similar to those of the police in later generations, mainly responsible for local security and handling civil disputes.
Lu Bu took Zhen Mi to play for a month, and then returned to Xiapi.
The first thing is that Lu Bu summoned his ministers to learn about the latest situation.
Chen Gong took the lead and said: "Report to the lord, the tripartite war between Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei has caused many displaced people to enter Xuzhou, and I have completed all the settlements. β
"Hmm!" Lu Bu nodded: "What we want is the population, and we can accept as many people as we want." In the early stage, you must settle down well, and you must not let people starve and freeze! β
"Don't worry, the palace has already been explained." Chen Gong continued: "In addition, Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao half a month ago. But he managed to escape, and his whereabouts are unknown. β
"What, I don't know whereabouts?"
"Yes!" Chen Gong said: "Our intelligence system is still insufficient, and we have not been able to find out Liu Bei's whereabouts. But what can be found is that Liu Bei and his personal guards were not defeated, but their whereabouts are unknown. β
Lu Bu frowned, this Liu Ranran is still a real person as his name.
However, where did Liu Bei flee to?
If you follow the historical trajectory, Liu Bei should be going south at this time. The first stop on the south trip should also be Jingzhou.
However, how did Liu Bei get from Hanoi to Jingzhou.
Could it be!
All of a sudden, Lu Bu thought of something he didn't want to believe.
That is, from his rule to the south.
The reason why he thinks so is that Lu Bu knows that Lu Zhu and Lu Fang have a very high status in the Elk family.
The Elk family has invested heavily in Liu Bei, how can they give it up easily.
But Lu Bu didn't know about this matter, which meant that the elk family made small moves behind his back.
Although Lu Bu does not have any evidence, this possibility is very high.
All of a sudden, Lu Bu's mood was not beautiful.
Lu Bu let out a deep breath: "Ignore Liu Bei for now, continue to report." β
Chen Gong had no report, and Pang Tong stepped forward and said: "Lord Qi, the ID card sample has been released, please take a look at it!" β
Lu Bu took the small piece of iron handed by Pang Tong and nodded with satisfaction.
The iron sheet is thin, and it is not much different from the ID card of later generations.
It contains your name, address, gender, date of birth, and number.
And this number, of course, Lu Bu directly used the ID card compilation method of later generations.
It contains relevant information such as address, date of birth, etc.
And all this information is naturally not written, but stamped.
Although the speed will be slow, as long as you keep doing it, you will soon be able to establish a household registration system.
In the future, whether it is people's livelihood management, or search and meticulous work, etc., it will be a great weapon.
"Yes, well done!" Lu Bu praised.
"But!" Pang Tong said in a condensed voice: "Most of the families have no objection to the matter of making up households for the whole people, but there are a few strong and strong ones who have a bad attitude and resolutely resist it!" β
Lu Bu's face turned cold instantly: "The purpose of the whole people's household registration is to facilitate population management, and this is not to deprive them of any benefits. If there are any more resistors, give me military suppression! β
"No!" Pang Tong responded.
Pang Tong is well aware of the importance of population management, and these heroes are deeply afraid that their own interests will be exploited, or they are afraid that Lu Bu will find out all the details, so they will strongly oppose it.
But since Lu Bu gave the iron-blooded order, he didn't mind bloodshed.
Lu Bu exhaled, suppressed his mood, and asked, "By the way, I asked you to ask Zhuge Liang to come out, is there any news?" β
"This!" Pang Tong froze, and his face was not very good-looking.
Lu Bu frowned: "Didn't invite you?" β
"Hey!" Pang Tong sighed: "Back to the lord, Tong has asked Kong Ming three times according to the lord's request." Kong Ming first refused on the grounds of studying, and finally made it clear in impatience that he would not assist the lord and say that you are ......"
"Say what am I?"
Pang Tong swallowed his saliva, and had to say truthfully: "Say that you are a traitor!" β
Lu Bu's fists tightened instantly, and a nameless anger rose in his heart.
"What about Mr. Shuijing, Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan, Xu Shu and others?"
Pang Tong shook his head and said that it was not successful.
The anger in Lu Bu's chest was even stronger.
He first asked the Elk family to send someone to invite him, promising all kinds of fame and fortune.
And after having Pang Tong, he used Pang Tong's relationship to invite, but he still refused.
How is this not what makes Lu Bu very hot.
"Good, good!" Lu Bu shouted angrily: "In this case, he will never show mercy on the battlefield!" β
Pang Tong's heart was also tight, and he was very uncomfortable.
Everyone was his mentor and friend, and he hoped that they would all be able to assist Lu Bu.
It's a pity that no matter how much he persuades, it is ineffective, and Pang Tong is helpless.
Seeing that Lu Bu was angry, Chen Deng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Qi, the canal route has been surveyed. This is a map of the road, and please take a look at it. β
"Oh~!" Hearing this, Lu Bu finally had a good mood: "Hurry up and take it!" β
Soon, Lu Bu finished reading one drawing after another, and he was in a happy mood.
"Well, well done! You remember, land within ten miles of both sides of the canal is not allowed to be bought or sold. These lands will be given to meritorious men, and no one will be allowed to touch them! β
"No!" Chen Deng responded. How did he not know that as long as the canal was really opened, the land on both sides of the river would definitely be precious in the future.
"Hahahaha, let's go, let's go to the factory to see if the excavator has been successfully developed!" Lu Bu's mood finally improved.
