On the way back, how could Nan Ye know that someone in Luoyang was calculating him? He had Cai Yan in mind, and rushed to Luoyang almost non-stop along the way. Now the name of Zhenyuan Dart Bureau has spread all over the world with the footprints of those merchants, seeing the banner of the Dart Bureau and Nan Ye, no blind thief dares to rob the road, so Nan Ye returned to Luoyang very smoothly.

According to the usual practice, Nan Ye still went to the arsenal outside the city to inspect first. At this time, the arsenal was expanding again, and there were 20,000 more Montenegrin soldiers and their families who could not expand it. Nan Ye found that the scale of this arsenal is getting bigger and bigger, and the total number of people in the arsenal after this expansion is probably about 50,000, most of these people are craftsmen and soldiers, and the other is their relatives, and these relatives are engaged in more service work in the arsenal, such as cleaning, cooking and other miscellaneous items are in charge of them.

50,000 people is not a lot in modern times, usually there are thousands of students in a single university in China, and the number of students in a university town composed of several universities is often more than 100,000. But at the end of the Han Dynasty, a population of 50,000 was impressive. You must know that the population of the entire Henan Yin is only one million.

Henan Yin has jurisdiction over 21 counties: Luoyang, Pingxian, Pingyin, Gucheng, Henan, Xincheng, Liangxian, Yanshi, Wushi, Gongxian, Chenggao, Xingyang, Juan County, Yuanwu, Yangwu, Zhongmu, Kaifeng, Yuanling, Xinzheng, Mi County, Jingxian. Among them, Luoyang accounts for almost half of the total population of Henan Yin, about 500,000. The remaining 500,000 people are divided equally among 20 counties, each with a population of only 25,000.

Calculated in this way, the number of people in the arsenal is already equivalent to the population of the two counties combined, how can this not make Nan Ye frightened? If he relied on cultivation to feed these people, he would need at least two counties of land, and Nan Ye relied on industry and commerce to feed these 50,000 people, and only one large arsenal was enough. It can be said that after this expansion, the arsenal is somewhat similar to the cities or industrial parks of later generations, and it is completely different from ordinary counties.

After Nan Ye discovered the problem of overpopulation, he decided not to add more people to the arsenal, not only that, but also to reduce some personnel, so as not to be criticized. Fortunately, there was no arable land in the arsenal, and the people lived very densely, occupying little space, and outsiders could not imagine that there would be nearly 50,000 people in this arsenal, so there was no suspicion for the time being. But in the long run, there will definitely be a day when flaws are exposed, so it is better to reduce staff in time for insurance.

Seeing Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping, and Xi Zhicai, who came back first, and others who stayed in the arsenal, Nan Ye expressed his doubts in his heart.

Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "The mage is very worried! I have a plan that is feasible, and although it violates the art of war, it is suitable for this time. ”

Nan Ye asked, "What strategies does Zhicai have?" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "In the art of war, there is a saying that 'ten are to surround it, five to attack it, and to fight it twice, and the enemy can divide it'. This enemy can be divided, that is, in the case of equal strength, try to disperse the enemy and destroy each one. We can now use this strategy and disperse the people and horses gathered here to various dart bureaus after training, so that the population in this arsenal will naturally be smaller. ”

Hearing this, Nan Ye clapped his hands and applauded: "Not bad! Not bad! Dart bureaus around the country are short of manpower, and it is a good idea to break them into pieces. ”

Xu Huang said: "Mr. Zhicai's method is only applicable to soldiers, but not to those craftsmen. I have a way to hide people's eyes, but I don't know if I can do it. ”

Nan Ye knew that Xu Huang was both civil and military, and when he heard that he had a plan, he immediately rejoiced: "Gongming, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it!" This is the time to brainstorm and discuss success and failure later. ”

Xu Huang said: "This time I have benefited a lot from sending troops to fight thieves, and I have gained a lot of knowledge. Although the thieves were defeated, the dock forts they built were really easy to defend and difficult to attack, like small cities. If we hadn't beheaded the thief first, I'm afraid it would have been impossible to pull out sixteen villages in a row. I wondered if it would be possible to build this arsenal into a dock fort, with a wall on the outside and a watchtower on the inside, which could be used for defense and make it difficult for people to see the reality in it. ”

As soon as Nan Ye wanted to praise this good idea, Xi Zhicai said: "The dock fort can be built by thieves, but we can't." In the early years, Emperor Guangwu ordered the destruction of Wubao, although it was forbidden and could not be stopped, but after all, it was not legal. If it is good to build a fort elsewhere, it can be used as an excuse to prevent thieves, and the establishment of a dock fort on the side of Luoyang City can only provoke criticism in vain. ”

Xi Zhicai's analysis, Nan Ye knew that this was not possible, but he had another idea, and asked Xi Zhicai: "Wubao is not legal, why don't I report to the imperial court to set up a county here?" ”

Everyone was stunned by Nan Ye's words, this county is often only set up when the territory is expanded. No one has ever heard of the county in the county, only the county where the princes eat becomes the Hou country, and the county where the queen and princess eat becomes the yi. Although Master Nanye's mining is here, the mage has not been made a marquis, and it is obviously far from establishing a marquis.

Nan Ye also knew nothing about the laws of the Han Dynasty, so he dared to say anything. Xi Zhicai explained the county system to him again, and Nan Ye realized that his idea was a little unrealistic. However, Nan Ye did not give up this idea, in his opinion, as long as Emperor Ling and the Ten Standing Servants nodded, there was nothing that could not be done in the territory of the Great Han, and no law was as effective as the emperor's words. If you want to achieve your goal, you can spend money to buy a marquis, and then turn this land into a marquis, isn't that justified!

Although Xi Zhicai is used to using swords and going sideways, he is still very disciplined in doing things, and he is not used to using bribery when he reads poetry and books, so he didn't think of Nan Ye's idea. However, he is not a rigid person, after listening to Nan Ye's thoughts, he felt that this move was indeed feasible, and suggested that Nan Ye have a chance to give it a try.

After discussing the development direction of the arsenal, Nan Ye asked Xi Zhicai and others to lead him to the small treasury. This time, after he gathered the stars of the thieves in the world, the skill of 400 stars has been activated, and he can use the three-talent skill to store more treasures. The flawless jade box and the Tao Te Ching in the warehouse are just right to fill the treasure slot and increase the number of stars.

At this time, Nan Ye is no longer as fond of showing up as he was when he first obtained the skill, he knows that this peculiar skill is the foundation of his life, and it is his biggest hole card, so the fewer people who know, the better. However, when the time is right, he doesn't mind revealing his abilities, which will convince his people more and help increase his mystery.

Nan Ye's ability to have this kind of thinking is also a sign that he has gradually matured from a student. As a superior, you must maintain a certain sense of mystery in order to make your subordinates awe-inspired, if you let your subordinates understand the bottom line of your boss, your boss will be easily controlled by your subordinates.

In the past, Nan Ye did not have the consciousness of such a superior, and that was because he faced Han Hu, Su Shuang, and Zhang Shiping all day long...... None of these people had the mental strength to control Nan Ye, and they had all seen Nan Ye's spells and were in awe of him. But later, with the think tank of Xi Zhicai, Nan Ye obviously felt that his brain was a little insufficient, and sometimes he had to think for a while to understand the deep meaning.

It's not that Xi Zhicai is disloyal, it's just that Nan Ye found that Xi Zhicai can already subtly influence some of his decisions, especially recently, he often instilled some "lofty ambitions" in himself, and Nan Ye, who was harmed, remembered the rebellion.

In order to nip this sign in the bud, Nan Ye called Xi Zhicai, Xu Huang, Shi A, Dian Wei, Zhou Cang, Guan Hai and others into the secret vault this time, and ordered guards to guard them outside the door, and no one was allowed to be put in.

Everyone didn't know what Master Nan Ye's intentions were, so they all followed him into the vault. I saw that Master Nan Ye turned a blind eye to the gold and silver treasures in the vault, and walked straight to a wooden shelf, on which was placed a jade box with extremely delicate carving and a white and flawless texture, and there was also an ancient book next to the jade box.

Nan Ye first picked up the "Tao Te Ching" given by Cai Yong, and recited it silently: "Turn cards!" The Tao Te Ching immediately turned into a card the size of a bank card, and was sandwiched between Nan Ye's middle and index fingers.

Xi Zhicai and the others were completely dumbfounded when they saw this scene, they had never seen Master Nan Ye use this kind of spell. Although everyone was shocked, the degree was completely different. Some people are curious for a while, but some people have an uproar in their hearts.
