Xu Village is a large village with thousands of households, Xu Ding and Xu Chu, as the leaders of the village, trained their own arms, in fact, they are also considered local heroes, but the scale is smaller, so their horizons are wider than Feng Zhong and Tang Yu.

The people of Xu Village were properly resettled, and Long Xiang assigned the former Hefei Governor's Mansion to the Xu brothers to live, and Xu Ding did not refuse because of his large family.

The administrative level of Hefei Hou State is the same county, and there are four large mansions in the city, namely Hefei Hou Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Main Book Mansion, and the Governor's Mansion.

The minister of state is the same as the county order, and assists the lord of the country in charge of the military and political affairs of the Hou State; The prime minister's main book is the same as the county, and he is in charge of civil affairs, documents, and warehouses; The lieutenant is the same as the county lieutenant and is in charge of law and order. (Hou Guo is the same as 10,000 large counties, 10,000 large counties are county orders, and small counties below 10,000 households are county magistrates)

With the increase of Hefei's population, the official structure has gradually improved.

Originally, as the chief bookkeeper of Lu Su, he should have moved to the Prime Minister's Mansion or the Chief Bookkeeper's Mansion, but in order to facilitate his consultation, Long Xiang left him in the Junsima Mansion to live and work (Hefei Hou Mansion).

Seeing that all the generals agreed, Lu Su nodded and said, "Since Yunqi has decided, I will assign it according to the roster when I go back, so that everyone can move into the new house as soon as possible." ”

"Hmm."

Long Xiang answered, turned around and continued walking.

After only two or three steps he stopped, he felt a hard object and looked down to see that it was a small rock.

It should be that there are more people visiting, and the ground is protruding by being trampled.

"You can actually move a few days later, if you put a layer of cement mortar on the floor, the room will not only be smooth but not awkward, and the daily cleaning will be much cleaner."

Long Xiang pointed to the small stone at his feet and made kind suggestions to the people next to him.

Due to the shortage of materials in the early stage of construction, Longxiang not only used a large number of public walls in the planning and design, but also eliminated the delivery standards for projects such as wall flour water, ground leveling and plastering, and road hardening in the community.

Lu Su frowned and questioned: "Yunqi wants to plaster the whole house?" It is estimated that it is at least half a finger thick, and how much cement does it take for a hundred suites? I'm afraid that the cement workshop will take two months day and night, and although the idea is wonderful, it will take too long..."

"yes, that's fine now, let's not make it too complicated..."

Feng Zhong had more contact with Lu Su, and because he was in charge of the craftsman battalion, he was very clear about the materials in the city, so he immediately stood up and agreed.

"Plastered in a hundred suites?"

Long Xiang waved his hand after hearing this, and hurriedly corrected: "I mean voluntary, you can live directly." ”

"What do you mean? Is there anyone who doesn't want to live in a good place? ”

Tang Yu looked confused.

Long Xiang explained with a smile: "Although this batch of new houses is directly distributed, it is not free to increase the use of cement, and it needs to be exchanged for grain, and of course, craftsmen must also pay for construction." ”

"What?"

Tang Yu scratched his head when he heard this, and the generals in the room all looked at each other, and said in their hearts, what does Long Xiang mean? Changing practices to plunder food?

Lu Su faintly thought of something, but he kept pondering and didn't open his mouth to guess.

Long Xiang Zhengse explained: "You think I want to take advantage of the grain? In fact, this is not the case at all, you are all my arms, Hefei's humerus, and you know a lot about the things in the city.

The grain of Hefei comes from the cultivation of peasant households, and the grain produced is taken from the people, and used for you and soldiers, craftsmen, officials, etc., when there are few people, it can still be properly distributed, but when there are more people and less land, and there is more grain, the official warehouse will not be able to make ends meet..."

Long Xiang explained clearly, and everyone could hear it clearly.

A small city is like a small country, and if the government cannot make ends meet, there will be big problems, and the people will flee and go into exile, or the worst will provoke popular uprisings.

Feng Zhong understood Long Xiang's worries, so he admonished: "It's really not possible to collect fewer displaced people, and let's build fewer houses, so it's good to keep Hefei as it is..."

Lu Su immediately stood up and retorted: "General Feng is fallacious, maintaining the status quo is equivalent to resting on our laurels, although we want to have no quarrel with the world, we can't stop others from coveting it, only by developing and growing can we protect ourselves, and listen to what Yunqi says." ”

"Yes, yes, listen to the clouds."

Tang Yu tugged at Feng Zhong's sleeve.

Long Xiang continued: "Hefei has no business now, no money, and private transactions are exchanged for grain;

If the houses are all distributed by the government, and the bricks and cement are provided by the government free of charge, the grain stored in the official warehouse will be emptied sooner or later;

If green bricks and cement become paid purchases, some of the grain will flow back into the official warehouse, and it will be able to make a benign turnover. ”

"Abundance and thrift are made by people, this method is very wonderful." Lu Su nodded.

Feng Zhong took the lead in echoing: "We don't understand this, Yunqi just decides directly, anyway, my brother won't go hungry if he follows you." ”

Long Xiang smiled and said: "I will discuss a standard with Zijing when I come down, but this kind of thing needs an example, Uncle Zhong, you take the lead in changing some cement, and when the ground in the house is finished, others will naturally follow." ”

"Okay." Feng Zhong nodded solemnly.

Tang Yu smiled and leaned over: "Hehe, if Lao Feng's food is not enough, I will make up for him, and I must make it better." ”

"Then I'll be disrespectful."

"Hahaha..."

Accompanied by Tang Yu's laughter, the group followed Long Xiang to continue the visit, and soon walked out of the south gate of the community.

Looking at the empty entrance, Long Xiang always felt that there was something missing.

Suddenly, Long Xiang slapped his thigh and said to Lu Su: "Zijing, go back and mention a word to these hundred courtyards, and then hang a plaque at the gate, which can also be regarded as a place name for this place." ”

"What's the word?" Lu Su asked back with empty eyes.

Long Xiang pinched his chin and thought, remembering that the names of those communities in later generations were strange, including Western, Chinese, classical, and modern, but most of them were not suitable for the present.

"It's simply called Hefei No. 1, if a similar new house is built in the future, it is convenient to continue to row down..."

"I think it's okay..."

As Lu Su was thinking about answering, he was suddenly interrupted by the sound of horses' hooves.

He and the others instinctively turned around, only to see a rider from the north coming with dust, as if it was a ranger scout under Cao Xing's command.

"Maybe there's something up north..."

Cao Xuan clenched his fists awkwardly at Long Xiang, and then trotted up to meet him with a black face, he was worried that the scout would run too close before stopping, and everyone would be splashed with dust.

After a few brief words with the ranger, Cao Xuan immediately turned around and ran back, his eyes full of surprise.

Cao Xuan glanced at Tang Yu first, and then clenched his fists and reported to Long Xiang: "General, Luo Yicheng sent someone to send the news, Yuan Shu vomited blood a few days ago, and Shouchun is now panicking..."

"What?" Tang Yu's eyes widened.

Feng Zhong and the others were shocked, but Long Xiang was not shocked.

"I expected Yuan Shu to die, but I didn't expect it to be so soon, alas..."

Lu Su sighed, and then frowned: "Yuan Yao, the son, is mediocre, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to inherit the great cause, and I don't know who Shouchun will fall into..."

Cao Xuan added: "It is Yuan Yin who is presiding over the overall situation..."

"Yunqi, Yuan Shu's big tree has fallen, and the bridge family..."Tang Yu reminded in a whisper.

While Long Xiang frowned and pondered, Lu Su muttered again.

"Yuan Yin is also a mediocre talent, he was only driven out of Danyang by Sun Ce last year, if Cao Cao takes the opportunity to go south at this time, Shouchun has no power to parry..."

"The bridge..."

Long Xiang's eyebrows were squeezed into a Sichuan character.

Lu Su knew that Long Xiang was worried about the Qiao family, so he smiled and comforted: "Don't worry about Yunqi, Yuan Yin has not fought to the death in Danyang, and he will definitely not stick to Shouchun, he should flee in advance..."
