Chapter Forty-Eight: Development is King
"This can be regarded as a technique to drive away tigers and devour wolves. ”
Xu Hong saw that his plan had succeeded, and he was relieved in his heart.
"Well, in this way, the two forces are in attrition, and it is a very good thing for our forces. ”
"But the strength is still weak, and it should be vigorously developed. ”
So Xu Hong went to inspect the city defenses of various cities, it doesn't matter if he goes, he goes to a place, loses his temper once, and accumulates to directly fill up the angry man value of the angry man system.
"What kind of bullshit city defense is this, it has no effect of blocking the enemy at all. ”
Xu Hong sat on the ground angrily, no wonder he was angry, the city defense of these cities only has bows and arrows, once the bows and arrows are shot, there are only stones left, and there is no other way.
"Whew, I'm. ”
It's no wonder that he is angry, because of such a posture of city defense, let alone guarding against first-class forces, even if the second-rate princes come to attack, they will not be able to defend it.
"The meaning of having to farm is to preserve one's own strength, and at the same time develop and expand one's own strength, but now that the city is like this, let alone strengthen its strength, it is very difficult to even save oneself, so how can we talk about development?"
"No, we should find a way. ”
So Xu Hong used the qiman system, and after consuming the qiman value, he obtained 10,000 rolling logs and stones, and directly threw them to the Xuzhou city defense general.
"Take it and use it, pay attention to maintenance at ordinary times, and never use it at ordinary times. ”
"I know... Got it. ”
The city defense general looked at the city defense props piled up in the warehouse, stuttered directly, his eyes widened, and he looked at him in disbelief, Xu Hong rode out of Xuzhou City directly, and then began to go to various cities one by one, not surprisingly, he continued to get angry again, because the city defense was really bad, he really couldn't help it.
"What should I do?" asked General Pan Feng, scratching his head.
Xu Hong knocked on his skull and said, "Can't you think of a way by yourself?"
"Outside the four city gates, not all of them are open land, dig ravines directly, and do all this near the city, and then leave only a flat drawbridge leading to the inside and outside of the city, and when the city is defended, the drawbridge is put away, so that the enemy's cavalry will be powerless. ”
"What a good idea, oh you are so smart!"
Pan Feng patted his head and sighed that he couldn't think of it even if he died.
Immediately afterwards, Pan Feng went to do so, and soon the city he guarded reached the standard that Xu Hong was satisfied with.
Xu Hong continued to move forward, Liu Sandao scratched his head even more, he didn't understand what he meant, he had no choice but to help get it out first.
"Isn't there a big boulder down here? It's also very difficult to clean up, so it's better not to clean it up, and near the stone, there are a lot of small gravel piled up, leaving only one road, which can be used by the people of the city at will, and the rest is not easy to defend. ”
Liu Sandao said in surprise: "The military master is really a god. ”
"Don't be busy praising me, isn't there the last road left? Dig more potholes under the road, but on weekdays, hang them with various drawbridges, and once the battle starts, just put them all down and let the enemy taste the bitterness. ”
Liu Sandao knelt down directly and thanked the military advisor.
Then Xu Hong continued to move, and Xing Daorong's side was better.
"What do you say, I will do. ”
"Isn't there a moat outside your city? On this side of the city at the ferry, there is a great deal of timber and gravel, and if the soldiers step on it, they will be pierced by the thorn bushes, and then they will be blocked from the advance? ”
Xing Daorong gave him a thumbs up.
"Oh, I'm tired, but I can take a break. ”
Xu Hong sat next to Jiang Gan, and Jiang Gan asked: "If there is anything about the military advisor, just give orders." ”
"Inform Gou An and Guo Tu that there has been a shortage of food in the army recently, and ordered the two of them to find a way to transport the soldiers' food, and the gold hardship fee has been paid to them. ”
"Hey, hey, it's easy to say that the military advisor, last time the two of them got a lot of benefits, and they were very profitable to work, and this time they have money, I believe they will be able to buy a large amount of military rations. ”
Xu Hong also learned later that Guo Tu and Gou An had made friends with a large number of princes and soldiers, and they did not fight with them on weekdays, plus they had a lot of gold, so they purchased military rations everywhere, and then transported them back to Xuzhou, making a lot of price difference in the middle, and even the soldiers and commissariat officers who worked with them also gained a lot of benefits.
"Good guy, is the largest black market food market in the Three Kingdoms?"
In Xu Hong's mind, this idea unconsciously popped up.
After finishing the matter of the soldiers' rations, Xu Hong went to check the situation of the soldiers' rations again, and after reading it, he shook his head again and again, and directly ordered.
"If you hand in all the grain this year, you will only be left with rations and seeds, and you will be exempt from forced labor and taxes next year. ”
As soon as Xu Hong's order was reached, the people in the jurisdiction were directly boiling, and there was a situation in various places where they enthusiastically handed over the rations.
"Hey, hey, hey, since then, this year's harvest has stabilized, and everyone has food to eat. ”
Then Xu Hong went to check the amount of gold in the treasury, and then sighed and ordered.
"Those who do business in subordinate states and counties, if they voluntarily pay this year's tax and silver, they will be exempted from half of the tax next year, and if they do not pay it within the time limit, they will pay double the tax next year and kill their heads directly!"
As soon as this big order was issued, all the merchants consciously handed over the gold, so the treasury was directly filled, and Xu Hong left satisfied.
"Next up is the war horse. ”
Xu Hong knew that if there was no cavalry in the north, the army would have no combat effectiveness, and there would be no way to confront the other princes.
"Encourage every family to raise horses, if the breeding is qualified, you can use war horses to offset taxes and forced labor, one horse is enough. ”
The enthusiasm of the people for breeding was very high, and Xu Hong struck while the iron was hot, and sent all kinds of subordinates to personally take the foals and lend them to those who were willing to breed.
"When you grow up, just send it directly to the government, and now you will be registered. ”
"Establish an official-government horse breeding station, collect a large number of good horses, and then recruit horse breeders from the six counties of Xuzhou, and one person raises horses and the whole family is exempt from forced labor and taxes. ”
Xu Hong's method was very good, and soon many professional horse breeders came, and then gathered them together and began to domesticate the foals collectively.
"As the so-called development is king, well, these basic ones are almost done, and the next step is hehehehe. ”
