Zhang Chao then made Gao Shun stunned for a moment, and then after seeing that the other party was not joking, he nodded and said: "Yes, if you can give the training place and have enough food and weapons made of fine iron, Shun can train an elite division equal to Zhang Jiajun." ”

"Okay." After hearing Gao Shun's words, Zhang Chao immediately smiled and said: "Then I will do whatever you want, the sergeant will be at your disposal, the weapons will be assigned by you to be built, and the food will be enough, but I don't know how many months you can train a strong army?" ”

Zhang Chao looked at Gao Shun with great interest, but fortunately, Peping did not answer disappointedly, "Three months, at most three months, you can train a strong division of five hundred people." ”

"Okay, I'll promise you, I'll give you three months, and then I'll see your results." Zhang Chao responded with a voice. For Gao Shun's trapping camp, he can be said to be very much looking forward to it.

"No." Gao Shun hugged his fists and replied, and at the same time, his eyes were full of excitement, he always thought that his long-cherished wish would be completed with the support of Zhang Chao, and his name Gao Shun would also be famous all over the world because of the trapped army.

In the field, Zhang Liao had been pulled away by Zhao Yun for a while. Without enough experience, how could he be Zilong's opponent, but this also stimulated his fighting spirit even more. This is the difference between a famous general and an ordinary person.

Ordinary people will often be deeply hit and collapsed when they encounter setbacks, but as a strong person, they will indeed be more and more courageous until the moment when they overcome their limits.

Zhang Chao's camp has added two more generals, and the whole group is also running at a high speed. Time flew by in the midst of all the preparations.

The three regulations announced by Zhang Chao also set off a strong influence in the entire Jinyang City. The first of these, increasing the population, encouraging and rewarding production, has caused a strong response from the people.

Especially not long after the regulations were announced, a family surnamed Song among the original residents of Jinyang City happened to give birth to a child, and it was still a boy.

After Zhang Chao learned about the matter, he personally went to the house of the person surnamed Song, took out a generous gift to congratulate, and also took out a certain amount of silver taels according to the previous regulations. This money is just enough to cover the child's needs when he gives birth.

Zhang Chao's actions quickly spread in Jinyang City, and everyone knew that the general was not talking about himself, but was really moving. For a while, many people had ideas in their hearts, especially young men and women who had just gotten married, and even some men and women who had already given birth to children, and they were thinking about whether to continue to have children, and at the same time they could get rich rewards while expanding the population of their families.

In terms of reclaiming wasteland, Zhang Chao's policy is equally encouraging. The regulations say that all the land cultivated by the people only needs to hand over one-third of the harvest from the harvest, and the rest belongs to the farmers themselves. In order to get this one-third, Zhang Chao's government paid to protect the absolute interests and safety of farmers, and even for some people who did not have cattle and farm tools, Zhang Chao also proposed paid rental services.

The policy states that you don't have seeds, farm tools, and the state shepherd's office can provide them, and even the cattle can be prepared. Just change to one-third of the harvest to one-half, and that's half a family. In this way, as long as you want to, you can achieve the goal of a hundred hands, and even pay taxes later, it is completely a matter of great profit, if you encounter a disaster year, there is no harvest, it is equivalent to a grain of grain does not have to be handed over, you just wasted a year's physical strength, and there will be no loss in itself.

As soon as these policies were introduced, they aroused great favor among the peasant households, and for a time more and more people were looking for seeds and cattle from the state pastoral government.

For these needs, Guo Jia was prepared for a long time, and prepared a large number of cultivated cattle and seeds bought with money and distributed them.

With more wasteland being cultivated, and the money in the treasury is also decreasing a lot, Lu Su, who is in charge of internal affairs, has to go to the chief military advisor Guo Jia to discuss, once the money is used up, what to do at that time? A huge state capital, you can't have a little money to spare, otherwise it is very likely that something else will happen.

In terms of money, Guo Jia had no better way, so he had to come to the Mussal's Mansion with Lu Su to ask for help.

Zhang Chao saw that Guo Jia and Lu Su were coming together, and what they were doing was money, so he smiled and said, "Fengxiao and Zijing don't have to worry. I have seen the treasury, and there will be no problems with money for the time being, as long as it can be supported until the end of the year, once the farmland is harvested, there will be a lot of more grain, so the crisis can be solved. ”

Regarding Zhang Chao's optimism, Guo Jia and Lu Su still have some worries in their hearts. There is a case in everything, and if something unexpected happens, how can it be good?

In this regard, Zhang Chao said with great confidence, "Don't panic, what is money?" If you want to create its value, there is a very important thing, that is, it needs to be circulated. If money cannot be spent, it cannot be valued. In the same way, if money is not spent, economic development cannot be stimulated. Therefore, where you have to spend money, you can't save it, as long as you spend it on the right path, it will bring more benefits. ”

Zhang Chao's views on the economy made Guo Jia and Lu Su feel a little reasonable. Thinking that Zhang Chao is not in a hurry as the main meeting, why should they be in a hurry. Saying that the five hundred carts of treasure that were stolen from Dong Zhuo at the beginning would indeed be used to support it until the end of the year, so there would not be too many ideas.

Zhang Chao's face was very confident. But after Guo Jia and Lu Su found him, he still did some measures, such as encouraging businessmen to do business.

In ancient times, it was difficult for businessmen to have any social status, because at that time, they were "heavy on agriculture and suppressed business", and they were unable to engage in politics. So much so that in the Qin Dynasty, merchants could not wear silk clothes, and in the Han Dynasty, merchants would confiscate all their family wealth if they made false declarations.

The status of ancient businessmen can refer to the first batch of self-employed people after the reform and opening up, and the self-employed at that time were richer than most of the people around them, but what about being rich, the poor people in the family could not see the self-employed, which was related to the social atmosphere.

Zhang Chao is also wary of businessmen in his heart. Merchants seem to be a group that only cares about their own interests. Businessmen have an impact on all aspects of the country, and the influence is powerful. They do bad things, and they are very destructive, especially the kind of behavior that does not care about the safety of the country. Therefore, unchecked businessmen are more harmful.

Zhang Chao, who knew this well, launched a series of measures, such as the ministry businessman can do business, but he must register in the pastoral master's mansion, and then the government will regulate the scope of his business. In this way, not only can the interests of businessmen be less conflicted, but also play a certain role in commercial protection. For example, the Wang family sells salt, and so does the Li family, and the two often have malicious rivalry, but after the registration of the herdsman's mansion, the east of the city belongs to the Wang family, and the west of the city belongs to the Li family, so that the conflict will be reduced, and while the interests of the merchants can be guaranteed, they also have to pay heavy taxes to the herdsman's mansion and pay half of the income tax.

In this way, Zhang Chao's government is equivalent to having a large amount of wealth. And businessmen can make a lot of money because they don't have to compete at malicious low prices. Although they still have to pay heavy taxes, their safety is guaranteed, and even if the money is paid to a certain extent, they will be allowed to make military merits, and their descendants can use this to enter the army or find an errand in the patriarch's mansion to improve their social status.

With all kinds of measures, Zhang Chao is both for the people and for himself. As a result, he quickly won the hearts of the people of Jinyang City, and even some of his initiatives were spread, which attracted the envy of merchants and farmers in other counties.

Zhang Chao was personally enshrined by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and was appointed as the state pastor. But whether he can really have power depends on his personal strength in the end. Now his power is not enough to cover the entire state, so he can only take Jinyang City as the center and gradually radiate to the periphery. Fortunately, under the guidance of some good policies, Taiyuan County, where Jinyang City is located, is also returning to the center. Especially when Zhao Yun appeared in some other counties of Taiyuan County with the newly formed thousand Dragon and Tiger Army cavalry when nothing happened, the deterrent force played by it made many people have to surrender.

The situation in Taiyuan County began to stabilize and develop in a good direction. Looking at the situation in the country, the princes are also using troops everywhere to achieve their own goals, or accumulating strength, and Zhang Chao himself began to prepare to use troops to Hedong County.

It is said that under the circumstance that the state has not yet been fully grasped, it is a bit hasty to use troops to Hedong County now. It's just that Zhang Chao is still determined to regain Hedong in a war.

Hedong County has a very special location, it is a passage connecting the state and the division. It can be said that if you don't hold it in your hand, you will have no way to go north. In other words, if you want to go out and attack the north, then this is the only way to go.

For Zhang Chao to send troops to Hedong County, the strategist Lu Su questioned, Zhang Chao's answer is indeed that sending troops to Hedong County is not only reasonable and legal (with the edict of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty as evidence), but also can deter some small people, so that people in other counties and counties in the state can see their strong strength, so as to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger.

What made Zhang Chao happy was that Guo Jia and Jia Xu, the two military advisors, did agree with this matter. In particular, Jia Xu also volunteered to become the military advisor of this battle to coordinate and arrange this matter.

Compared with Guo Jia, who is responsible for formulating foreign policies and grasping the overall situation, and Lu Su is in charge of internal affairs, Guo Jia is indeed responsible for internal integrity, and to put it bluntly, it is the work of the current Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Procuratorate. It wasn't what he wanted, and now that the state wasn't rich, or even poor, there was no better job to do. Jia Xu, who already wanted to build a career, had long wanted to find an opportunity to show his talents, and he was not in vain for Zhang Chao's trust and reuse.
