Shi Xiaolei of Lantian County took a reward order issued by Xi'an Mansion and said with a smile: "Hahaha...... Interesting, so interesting, brigade commander, take a look, come and see that my current head is worth 10,000 taels of silver. ”

Shi Xiaolei said with a smile, he was a little excited when he was rewarded with so much silver for the first time, and after hearing this, Li Chaosheng glanced at him and said, "To be precise, the heads of you and Brother Chaolong are worth 10,000 taels of silver." ”

Shi Xiaolei said at this time: "That's not cost-effective, it's better to report it first, get the five thousand taels of silver, and then carry your own head by yourself, so that you can earn fifteen thousand taels." ”

Li Chaosheng laughed when he heard this: "You are really a talent, okay, don't talk nonsense, your firearms battalion has exposed a lot of problems in this battle, you hurry back and take your soldiers to improve it, by the way, communicate with Lao Sun Tou and them, your feedback is very important for them to improve their firearms." ”

Hearing this, Shi Xiaolei said: "I went to find them, the old grandson didn't pay attention to me, he seems to have been studying the gunpowder formula you gave recently, brigade commander." ”

Li Chaosheng was very satisfied when he heard this, this old grandson usually doesn't say much, but the things he explained have always been done seriously, and he has never cut corners, and Li Chaosheng, the foreman of the old grandson, agrees with this.

Shi Xiaolei said and looked at Li Chaosheng and said: "Brigade commander, our team has not been expanded for a while, and we now control a population of more than 300,000, and there are only more than 6,000 regular troops, is it a little less?" ”

Li Chaosheng listened to Shi Xiaolei's words and said: "It's okay, thirty to one, such a ratio of soldiers is the least burdensome for the economy of Lantian County, in addition, although we only have 6,000 regular troops, but our townships and towns have more than 40,000 militias, although they are not out of production, but the combat effectiveness is not weak, if it is seriously organized, it is much more powerful than the Ming Dynasty's Weisu Army." ”

Li Chaosheng said, Shi Xiaolei said: "Even if we add the militia, we are less than 50,000 people, Wang Jiayin, Hong Chengchou They don't have 100,000 people in their hands, compared with them, our soldiers are too few." ”

Listening to Shi Xiaolei's words, Li Chaosheng pondered slightly, this is also a fact, compared with these people, his own soldiers and horses are a little too few, thinking of this, Li Chaosheng pondered slightly: "That's right, it seems that you can try to expand the army, at least to 10,000 people." ”

Li Chaosheng thought about it, and then said to Shi Xiaolei: "You go and find Li Chaolong and Liu Airen." ”

Shi Xiaolei immediately smiled when he heard this: "Okay! ”

Immediately after running out to find Liu Airen and Li Chaolong, half an hour later, the two came to Li Chaosheng's county office, at this time Li Chaosheng looked at the two and said: "Two, just now I thought of a question, the number of our regular army in Lantian is a little small, and I am ready to expand the army to 10,000." ”

Hearing this, Li Chaolong said excitedly: "Okay, the army should have been expanded a long time ago, and the big guys have already discussed it." ”

Li Chaosheng said at this time: "But the expansion of the army is not a blind expansion of the army, our Lantian County expansion has the rules of Lantian County, in this way, we will start to accept the victims in winter, at present, with the 200,000 quintals of grain we have gotten, we can recruit 70,000 refugees this year, and when these refugees are integrated into our Lantian County, we will fill the vacancy of labor in the county, Liu Airen." ”

"Here."

"You have to select 4,000 militiamen in your militia team who meet the recruitment standards of our county in all aspects and send them to the Lantian camp, and then Li Chaolong will conduct training, after the training is completed, after integrating into the major battalions and regimental units, when the time comes, Lao Tzu can be promoted to division commander."

Li Chaosheng said, looking at the two people in front of him: "When the time comes, you can also be promoted." ”

Both of them laughed when they heard this, and then saluted in unison: "Guarantee to complete the task." ”

Sending the two away, Li Chaosheng found Guo Bao and Liu Zhushu to discuss the accommodation of the victims, in fact, it is very simple, that is, from now on the storage of the victims, the storage work is very simple, but it is also necessary to do a good job of prevention, first of all, after the victims enter the territory of Lantian, the local militia will send them to the isolation point of a village and town as soon as possible.

No one knows whether these people have the virus on them, whether they carry the plague or not, and they must first undergo a one-month labor quarantine.

The quarantine points that these people carry are actually the construction sites on the periphery where the reservoir is about to be built, and they can work in them for a month, as well as quarantine.

Li Chaosheng will use them to build the reservoir in the newly occupied area, and if the reservoir is built, even if it has contributed to Lantian County, at this time, the mayors of each village and town can receive the quota from Li Chaosheng, and then bring back the victims they have received back to their own villages, and then each person is allowed to lease one acre of land as a ration field, and this land is all the person's personal harvest except for some land rent.

And because these victims are promoting and planting new crops such as corn and sweet potatoes, the yield is enough for these people to eat and drink, first ensure their food and drink, and then find them some county order to work, to give them some subsidies, such as helping to repair a canal, helping the county order to plant some land, as long as they are not too lazy, soon they will be able to live a relatively good life.

And as long as the days are stable, the big guys will have support for Lantian and a sense of belonging to Lantian County, so over time, if anyone comes over and doesn't let them live such a day, they will fight with whom, this is also the basis of Li Chaosheng's rule, it can be said that Li Chaosheng does not use force to expand his territory.

Instead, they use this method to expand their territory and expand their power, so that every piece of land that is incorporated into Lantian is real land, and no one will divide it.

This is what Li Chaosheng has mentioned many times, consolidating the country does not take the risk of mountains and rivers, and the world does not take the benefits of military revolution, this is the best policy.

And the loss of Fan Yongfa's 200,000 quintals of grain also alarmed many people in Shaanxi, at this time, in a ravine in Yulin, Shaanxi, Wang Jiayin looked at an official announcement and said with annoyance: "Ah, what a big deal I missed, 200,000 quintals of grain, enough for us to eat for several months, this damn Fan family is really rich." ”

Hearing this, Wang Ziyong said: "Big brother, don't be annoyed, let's sit here for a while and rest, and when the rest is good, we will attack Yulin Mansion, and we will have food after defeating Yulin Mansion." ”

Wang Jiayin frowned and said: "Yulin is not easy to fight, Hong Chengchou and Yang He are not easy to fight, we can't act blindly." ”

Hearing this, the king said to himself: "If you can manage those, they are only 100,000 soldiers and horses, if we take Yulin Mansion and coerce the people in the city, we will have 300,000 people. ”

Wang Jiayin laughed when he heard this: "Don't worry, don't worry, Hong Chengchou is in a hurry now, he has already revealed his flaws, give us some time, it won't be a problem to defeat him." ”

When Wang Ziyong heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "Haha, that's good, that's good." ”

Wang Jiayin looked at Wang Ziyong at this time and said: "But if we defeat Hong Chengchou, we can't stay in northern Shaanxi, we have to go to Gansu and Shanxi." ”

"Ah, why?"

Wang Ziyong asked, Wang Jiayin said: "Because northern Shaanxi can no longer support us." ”

Hearing this, Wang said to himself: "Southern Shaanxi is still very fat, I heard that Lantian County in southern Shaanxi is very rich, if we can rob them, we can live a comfortable life." ”

Wang Jiayin heard this and said: "We can't get by, Xi'an Mansion is heavily guarded, we can't break through the defense line of Xi'an Mansion, and we can only watch the fat of Lantian." “

Hearing this, Wang Ziyong sighed: "Her mother, really hold your breath, by the way, big brother, I recently met a good man in Dingbian, named Zhang Xianzhong, quite powerful, the people who traveled with him called Huanghu, I went to recruit him, he said let him go back to his hometown to prepare, after the winter, he gathered the brothers of the eighteen villages in his hometown to join us." ”

Wang Jiayin smiled when he heard this: "Okay, the more heroes like this, the better, the more heroes like this, this Ming will be over, hahaha......"

Wang Jiayin laughed, Wang Ziyong also smiled happily, although they had a hard time, but they didn't feel bitter, no matter how bitter they were, could they still be bitter back then?

Shaanxi border army camp, at this time Hong Chengchou was playing against Yang He, Yang He was kind to Hong Chengchou, originally Hong Chengchou was only a political envoy in Shaanxi and not in charge of the military, but after Yang He came, because no one was available, he gave Hong Chengchou the right to fight, and then Hong Chengchou did a good job, and Yang He was one of the few talents who could stand alone.

The two were playing chess, and then Yang He sighed: "Wang Jiayin's group of thieves ran away again." ”

Hong Chengchou said: "No way, these thieves are connected to each other, if you want to catch Wang Jiayin, the king of Yichuan will hang on the left, the god of Xin'an, and the god of Heshui will be obstacles, if you don't get rid of them first, it will be difficult to catch Wang Jiayin." ”

Hearing this, Yang He's expression remained unchanged, but he glanced at Hong Chengchou, who looked at the chessboard with his eyes down at this time, as if he had just said something unintentionally.

The few people proposed by Hong Chengchou just now, especially Shen Yikui and Shen Yiyuan brothers are all benchmarks erected by Yang He, Yang He's attitude towards Shaanxi anti-thieves is mercy, and his idea of suppressing bandits is Zhao'an.

In fact, this proposition cannot be said to be wrong, it can only be said that it is too benevolent, Yang He believes that the people rebelled, not because they really wanted to rebel, but because they wanted to eat enough, so when Zhao'an was the mainstay, and then solved the problem of their food, they could pacify Shaanxi without a fight.

But Yang He didn't know that most of the hearts of people in Shaanxi had changed at this time, and the more important problem was that Yang He couldn't solve the problem of eating in Shaanxi.

It's a pity that he is not, he has no way to solve the problem of eating for the people of Shaanxi, and he is too merciful to the anti-thieves, which led to his tragic end, that is, many years later, he set a benchmark for the Shenyikui brothers, which led to his impeachment, so that he ended up in the army and died on the road.

And it was also his Huairou policy over the years that raised the bandits in Shaanxi, all with fat heads and big ears and big tails, and finally caused the entire empire to bury him.

It can be said that Yang He died without complaining, but Yang He doesn't think he's wrong, at least he doesn't think now, they think they are doing a good job, in order to subdue Shen Yikui's brothers, Yang He even invited Shen Yikui's son-in-law to the military tent, eat and live with him, I don't know what it is, Shen Yikui actually came to surrender, so Yang He pardoned Shen Yikui's guilt in public, and then did not dismiss Shen Yikui's army, arranged an official position, and gave them Ansai City as a place to garrison the army.

The angry general Du Wenhuan scolded, and finally left with his own people in discouragement.

It is precisely because of this that Hong Chengchou came to Yang He to play chess, and wanted to order a little bit of his boss by the way.

Yang He looked at Hong Chengchou at this time and said, "Yan Yan thinks I shouldn't recruit a god?" ”

Hong Chengchou hurriedly clenched his fists at this time: "There is no such intention in humble position." ”

After saying this, Hong Chengchou lowered his head and said: "However, I feel that the thief is difficult to change, and it is better to eradicate it than to surrender to prevent future troubles." ”

Hearing this, Yang He looked at Hong Chengchou and said: "Yan Yan, these people rebelled only because they had no food to eat and couldn't live anymore, they are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, how can you and I, as officials, ignore the lives of the people." ”

Hong Chengchou said: "No matter how pitiful they are, they should not rebel, they should pay the price for rebellion." ”

"No, no, their rebellion is a last resort, if they have a bite to eat, why should they rebel, they can't blindly kill and suppress the people, otherwise it will only lead to more people rebelling and bring us more enemies, we can't kill all the people at that time, right?"

Yang He asked Hong Chengchou rhetorically, and Hong Chengchou said: "My lord is right, they rebelled because they couldn't eat, as long as they had a full meal, they wouldn't rebel, but my lord, do we have the ability to let all the people in northern Shaanxi have enough to eat?" ”

"This ......"

Yang He was a little speechless by Hong Chengchou's question, but Yang He thought about it and continued: "There will always be a way, you see, although Shaanxi attracts disasters, but people in Lantian County, Lantian County will have smooth wind and rain, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Hong Chengchou shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this: "My lord, there is only one Lantian in Shaanxi, and the success of Lantian cannot be replicated. ”

Yang He frowned, wanting to say something, but sighed helplessly, but said stubbornly: "Always, there will always be a way." ”

Yang He actually knows in his heart that there is no way to learn Lantian in Shaanxi, and even all places in Daming have no way to learn Lantian, and the success of Lantian He Yang He has investigated, in fact, it is very simple, and there is nothing surprising about it, but it is to repair canals, repair reservoirs, and manage places, and there is nothing surprising about the place, all of which are stipulated by the Ming Law.

As a result, even if this is the case, officials in other places can't do it, what is the reason, is that people become officials in order to get rich, everyone wants to get rich, so they can only squeeze the people, as for the repair of water canals, who pays for it?

If everyone is for the public, who can shake this great tomorrow, it's a pity, it's a pity.
