According to Guan Gong's policy, he was very tolerant of those who did not do much evil and had the intention of reforming their evil ways, and not only forgave their sins, but also found a piece of land to properly arrange for them, so that they could get rid of the status of bandits and become peasants again.

For those who have committed the most heinous crimes and will not repent of death, of course, he will sacrifice thunder and kill them one by one. Ci is not in charge of the army, Guan Gong is a general who has been fighting in the world for decades after all, he is not a soft-hearted person, he will never tolerate the enemy, he has done much better than Liu Hou.

Guan Gong's prestige is too strong, and the anti-bandit operation presided over by him has already scared those water bandits. Therefore, there was basically no major battle to suppress the bandits this time, and as soon as the officers and troops arrived, the bandits fled one after another.

In addition, Guan Gong also left them a way back and allowed them to surrender anyway, so most of the water bandits surrendered quickly, and the remaining small number of stubborn ones were also eliminated in a short time. The battle against bandits went very smoothly and was won in a short period of time.

As soon as the Yunmengze bandit war ended, the war in the Central Plains was basically over, and most of the wars on the remaining three battlefields in the west, north, and south used foreign warriors, so a large number of troops were idle.

After fighting for so many years, there are quite a lot of veterans in the Han army, and there are many people who have served for five years, and there are even a small number of "grandfather" veterans who have served for ten years. This was not uncommon in the years of warlord scuffle.

Some warlords who were reckless in their military force even forced men over the age of 10 and under 60 to enlist in the army to fight for themselves. Therefore, "baby soldiers" and "grandfather soldiers" often appear in these troops.

The combat ability of such soldiers is certainly very poor, but in the past, many times in wars were based on the number of people, and when the number of people increased, it would cause a kind of psychological pressure on the opponent, and sometimes even this psychological pressure could become the key to victory.

Although there were some veterans in the Han army at this time, these veterans were only about thirty years old, which was not too old.

Now that there is no war in the country, it is time to let these veterans go out and enjoy their lives. As a result, a large number of veterans began to retire from the army and change jobs, and Liu Hou treated them very well, and everyone was assigned a piece of land of different sizes according to their merits, time in the army, and rank.

On top of that, their output on these lands was exempt from paying taxes for thirty years. Thirty years later, it's almost time for them to retire. This is the biggest difference between them and other people who are also allocated land.

Everyone else's land is subject to taxes, and if they don't pay taxes for three consecutive years, the land will be repossessed by state. These veterans are exempt from the equivalent of 30 years, even if their land is abandoned for 30 years. Even if they don't plough the fields themselves, they can feed them by collecting rent.

Therefore, after these veterans were discharged from the army, they instantly became landlords, and the imperial court treated them well. In addition, Liu Hou vigorously promoted education in the army, and these veterans not only had basic literacy, but also had a skill, even if they did not plough the fields after changing jobs, they could also engage in other handicraft production, so their livelihood was no problem at all.

A large number of veterans have retired from the army, but the troops cannot be dispersed, after all, a huge empire needs a large number of troops to guard. At that time, Liu Bang said: "Ande warriors guard the Quartet? "The big man now is much bigger than he was back then, and there are more warriors who need to defend the Quartet.

Therefore, while a large number of veterans are discharged, it is necessary to recruit a large number of new recruits to fill the vacancies left by the veterans, and at the same time to maintain the structure of the army.

Now Guo Youzhi is proposing to mobilize these recruits to deliver food to the disaster area. According to the standards of the Hong Army, the training time of recruits is very long, and there are many training subjects, and the mountain march with heavy loads is one of the training subjects.

Anyway, they usually spend a lot of food on this kind of high-intensity physical training, so it is better to take the opportunity to let them transport food, which can not only train the troops, but also save the money and food for hiring migrant workers, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Everyone agreed with Guo Youzhi's proposal, and just as they were about to further discuss the scale and other details of the new recruits to be sent, a little yellow hurriedly ran in, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said, "Your Majesty, Qin Tianjian said outside that he had an urgent matter to see. ”

Liu Hou felt very strange, the head of Qin Tianjian observed the celestial phenomena, explored feng shui, and recorded the climate, what could he be in a hurry? Could he have predicted where a drought or flood would be? That's a big deal, but are the weather forecasts reliable in this era?

No matter what happens, people still have to see each other, and Liu Hou asked Xuanqin Tianjian to meet him. Not long after, a young man in an official uniform walked in quickly. This young man looks like he is only in his twenties, his eyes are bright, his skin is fair~fair, he is handsome, and his manners are elegant.

If it weren't for that eager look, I guess he would look better. After seeing him, Liu Hou felt a little stunned, in his imagination, the person who could hold the position of Qin Tianjian should be a white-bearded old man, at least a middle-aged man, how could he be such a hairy boy?

Liu Hou, a small sesame mung bean official like Qin Tianjian, was rarely seen, so he felt strange, but several cabinet ministers were obviously familiar with him, so they all looked indifferent, waiting for his next step.

After Qin Tianjian came in, he first saluted Liu Hou, and before Liu Hou could ask, he couldn't wait to shout: "Your Majesty, something is wrong." ”

Liu Hou has a black line, he is the most annoying to such a person, as soon as he comes up, he will say that the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good, etc., for fear that others will not know that he is a broom star and a crow's mouth, and he is here to report bad things.

This kind of person has the power to instantly destroy the good mood of the superior ~ as soon as he appears. Today's Qin Tianjian is no exception, and as soon as Liu Hou heard him speak, his mood immediately sank.

Liu Hou picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip before letting Qin Tianjian get up and speak. After the young Qin Tianjian stood up, he didn't care about the emperor's ugly face, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, just now the bead in the dragon's mouth in the southwest of the earth movement instrument fell, and I am afraid that there will be ground movement in the southwest direction. Please also ask Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible. ”

"What?" Liu Hou was so shocked that he almost fell off the teacup in his hand, earthquakes can be big or small, small earthquakes, even people can't feel them, the destructive power of a big earthquake is amazing, and it is not surprising that thousands of people have died.

Moreover, in this era of superstition, all kinds of natural disasters will be given various meanings by some well-intentioned people, and will even be used by people to realize their bad intentions.

The most common example is to describe various natural disasters as the emperor's immorality, offending the heart of heaven, and so on. At this time, the emperor often has to sacrifice to the heavens, pray sincerely to God, make a review, and even issue an edict against himself.

This is a very serious matter, and if it is not done, it will affect the stability of the throne, and even the stability of the country. Of course, even if there are no such factors, whenever there is a natural disaster, there will always be more or less people who will be affected and there will be casualties, which is also what Liu Hou is most worried about.
