Three hundred and five, welcome the triumph of the prince!
When the army entered Wuwei County in triumph, Cao Cao, the guard of Wuwei County, went out of the city fifty miles to meet the army.
When Liu Bei saw Cao Cao, he didn't ride on a tall horse like before, jumped off the horse, patted Cao Cao's shoulder, and was very friendly to him.
"The rest of the Taishou are all thirty miles out of the city, why did they come to you and go fifty miles out of the city to meet me?"
"They are them, I am me, if you don't do this, you can't express your reverence for the prince in your heart!"
Cao Cao smiled, then straightened out his crown and robe, and bowed.
"The subordinate Wuwei County guards Cao Cao, and welcomes the triumph of the prince!"
Liu Bei nodded and stretched out his hand to help Cao Cao.
"This battle is not dangerous, I am deeply aware of the external strength of their barbarians, just because the Han civil strife is not stopped, there is no time to look north, so the barbarians are rampant, continue to invade the south, in time, I will wave the army to the north, level the barbarians of the grassland, seal the wolf Juxu, Le Shi Yanran, so that the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty will no longer have to worry about trouble!"
"This is the great achievement of General Wei and Huo Huqi and others!"
Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei with admiration: "If Xuande can achieve such great achievements, every household in the three states of Youji and Liang will definitely establish an ancestral hall for Xuande, and Xuande will definitely leave a name in history!" ”
"That's what I'm looking for!"
Liu Bei said, took Cao Cao's hand with a smile, and immediately went parallel with him, and entered Wuwei County to drink and have fun together, to show closeness.
During the banquet, looking at the proud Liu Bei, Cao Cao was very envious, remembering Liu Bei's pride and ambition to level the barbarians of the grassland, Cao Cao couldn't help but yearn for it.
Although the governance of one county and one state can declare culture and education, highlight ambitions, make people's livelihood stable, and be admired by all people, can it also achieve such a goal by leading troops to fight on the battlefield, winning a decisive victory outside the territory, and preaching the power of the Han Dynasty in the enemy's territory?
Cao Cao couldn't help but start thinking about what he would look like as a general leading the army on the battlefield.
On the eighth day of the seventh month, Liu Bei successfully returned to Ji County, and the officials of the Ji County Prefecture and the Hanyang County Government followed Cao Cao's example, and under the leadership of Yan Zhong, they went out of the city fifty miles a day in advance to meet Liu Bei.
When he met Liu Bei, Yan Zhong highly respected Liu Bei's achievements, and all the officials saluted Liu Bei together to show respect.
"Congratulations to the triumph of the prince!"
They saluted collectively and chanted collectively, and this kind of respect made Liu Bei enjoy it very much.
Liu Bei accepted it calmly, shook hands with everyone and hugged each other, and then enjoyed a barbecue with everyone, and then returned to Ji County together.
The benefits brought by this battle to the entire Liangzhou are too great.
In less than two months, Liu Bei earned more than 1.7 million cattle, sheep and horses and about 260,000 Xianbei population, as well as a huge amount of gold, silver, copper, pearls and jade, as well as countless bone products and fur products, all of which were wealth.
In other words, I am afraid that I am already happy and can't even speak.
However, the officials of Liangzhou who were trained by Liu Bei were all professional, and after getting the news, under the leadership of the ecstatic Yan Zhong, everyone immediately began to discuss how to digest this huge wealth.
First of all, of course, there is a wave of rewards, for the soldiers and officers, as well as for the officials who carry out logistics work, these need to be rewarded, everyone has worked the logistics front for the progress of this war, according to Liu Bei's regulations, the reward is deserved.
Rewarding money, rewarding goods, and taking out part of the captured loot and distributing it to the people who participated in the war and contributed to it, this is what Liu Bei has always done.
And after all the expenses of the reward are taken into account, the remaining net income is still very large.
More than 1 million livestock can not only be used to fill the vacancy of the state-controlled livestock farms, but a herd of more than 200,000 horses can also greatly increase the number of horses controlled by the Liangzhou government.
At this point, Ji Jian is the happiest.
Not every horse can become a war horse, and war horses are also elite-level existences among the horse herd, so he has always been worried that there are not enough horses to breed more war horses, so that the Liangzhou army does not have enough war horses to use.
That would be a dereliction of duty.
Now I'm relieved.
In addition to the horses, the remaining livestock can be used for grazing and breeding, can also be used for banquets, and can also be sold, providing enough meat for the army, and even putting some of them in the Liangzhou market.
Anyway, there are many uses.
As long as the management keeps up, it's all money.
According to Liu Bei's order, gold, silver, copper, pearls and jade and other valuables, in addition to the rewards, after the points are recorded, select the most precious and valuable batch to be dedicated to the emperor, and then select a batch of slightly inferior ones to give to his elders and friends in the capital to exchange feelings.
All the rest will be put into the state government's public account for future construction expenditures.
As for those grassland specialties, Liu Bei plans to also select some high-value ones to give to Liu Hong, and then select a batch to give gifts, and the others will all be included in the public account for official expenses.
No matter what he does, he can't forget to give gifts, whether it's to please anyone or to thank someone, this expenditure is a must for a local military and political governor like him.
In the end, there are the 260,000 Xianbei people who are the most troublesome to deal with.
But when it comes to trouble, it's not difficult to deal with.
The nomadic tribes generally have the custom of being noble and strong and lowly old, and the average life expectancy is low, the so-called old, in fact, are a group of people who run up at the age of forty, and there are very few people who really live to the age of fifty or sixty.
So in Liu Bei's eyes, they are all strong laborers.
Since it is a strong labor, how can it not be used?
Liu Bei decided to treat them differently.
He considered that after a long period of war, there were many people in Liangzhou whose families were fragmented, and there were also many single young men.
Especially in the army, there are many soldiers who can't marry wives for various reasons.
So he decided to select the school-age women in this group of Xianbei people to be assigned to the single young men in Liangzhou, but the identity is not a wife, but a concubine, and the young men can still marry Han women as their wives in the future.
This article is just so that they can have children as soon as possible and increase the population of Liangzhou.
If it is a high-quality human macho man with strong fertility who has many children, if the family's economic situation is acceptable, even if he already has a wife, he can apply to the Liangzhou government to obtain a Xianbei woman of appropriate age.
As for all the remaining Xianbei prisoners of war, they were all put into the slave status controlled by the Liangzhou government, so that they became official slaves under the control of the Liangzhou government, and were used to engage in various heavy manual labor assigned by the government, such as various construction work, various mining work, and various excavation and filling work.
The Liangzhou government has a large number of water conservancy projects, road construction projects and city renovation projects to be carried out in the future, and they had to negotiate because of the lack of manpower.
Now that there are more than 100,000 strong laborers at once, and there is no need to pay them, it is certain that these great projects will be planned and started at once.
In this way, it is possible to effectively reduce the burden on the people of Liangzhou, and if there are more such officials and slaves, the people of Liangzhou will need to bear less servitude, or even disappear, and they will be able to give birth with peace of mind.
Officials are strongly supportive of this.
Under the political reforms promoted by Liu Bei, the recovery of agricultural production is an important indicator for administrative officials.
Now that there is a large number of strong laborers to share the responsibilities of the people of Liangzhou, agricultural production can be regarded as safe, and the farmers can continue agricultural production with confidence without worrying about being transferred too much labor.
The things after the war were almost dealt with, and Liu Bei began to reward his subordinates who had made contributions to this battle.
Although the official reward still needs to be reported to the imperial court for approval, it is just a formality.
Liu Bei has determined how everyone will be promoted here, and there will be one more procedure in the imperial court.
What the imperial court can really bring to everyone is mainly the growth of the title and the growth of the food estate, as well as a glory.
As for the material rewards, Liu Bei will also give them one, so that they can get two rewards.
Of course, for them, the most important thing is the military position that Liu Bei can decide.
Liu Bei, the military and political government of Liangzhou, has the final say, and the army is the existence of Liu Bei's strict control, and the promotion of positions in the army is also Liu Bei's decision, and the Luoyang court basically does not participate in this link.
The promotion and demotion of military positions that really determine the level of power are all decided by Liu Bei.
PS: I ate a few delicious mushroom and green vegetable buns in the morning, and they were very fragrant, so I added a more chapter.
