Chapter 108: There is a lot of money and food in the human city
Liu Tianhao and Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping organized their families to start packing and sealing the mansion and preparing to move to Lunu City!
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were originally big families in Yi County, and there were many servants, so the matter of moving was quickly arranged.
Under the leadership of Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, the group went to Wuji County in the southwest! And Yi County is located in the northeast of Lunu City, while Wuji is in the southwest of Lunu, in the opposite direction! In this way, Yixian must have at least more than forty miles to Wuji!
Liu Tianhao and the others had basically been delayed for half a day in Yi County, but it was impossible to arrive at Wuji that day, so Liu Tianhao directly took Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping to Lunu City first!
After taking the Zhongshan country, the recruitment of displaced people can already justifiably use the deployment of officials in Zhongshan, and naturally Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping can be liberated, Liu Tianhao's arrangement for the two is to continue to let them be responsible for selling horses to Wuhuan in the three counties of Shanggu, but he plans to only buy them, after all, war horses are scarce resources!
In the evening, Liu Tianhao introduced Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping to Jia Xu and Li Yang, Jia Xu was already familiar with Su and Zhang, mainly to Li Yang, because now Lu Nucheng's government affairs are handled, Jia Xu is the general decision, but the implementation still depends on Li Yang!
Including Jia Xu, Liu Tianhao's subordinates still don't know that time is already very tight, and in another year, maybe less than a year, they will meet the troubled times!
The three counties of Yanmen, Yunzhong, and Daijun don't need Liu Tianhao to worry about it, but Zhongshan Country is different, Jizhou is the base camp of the Yellow Turban, even though Zhongshan Country is located in the northwest of Jizhou and is far away from Julu County, but Liu Tianhao still doesn't dare to take it lightly! The Yellow Turban Army of Taiping Road is known as a million people, and most of these millions of people are still concentrated in Hebei and Henan!
The only thing that makes Liu Tianhao feel a little comforting is that according to his current observations, the Yellow Turban Party members, whether they are soldiers or armaments, are too far from the private soldiers of the officials and even the landlords!
Liu Tianhao and Jia Xu carefully discussed the direction of Zhongshan State's governance.
Now that the cold winter is about to pass, the spring harvest will not start in three or four months, which is the time for farming! Liu Tianhao planned to let Jia Xu organize the private soldiers of the lords, gentry, household servants, and recruited homeless people in the city to work together to strengthen the city wall of Lunu and widen and deepen the moat around the city!
Jia Xu deeply praised Liu Tianhao's suggestion!
After winning the Zhongshan Kingdom, Liu Tianhao intends to transfer his foundation center to the Central Plains, after all, the other three counties are successively grasslands, which belong to the bitter cold land outside the Saiwai, not to mention the scholars, even the ordinary people in the Central Plains are reluctant to go! Han people who have adapted to agricultural life are still more inclined to live in the Central Plains!
Since you want to transfer the foundation center to the Central Plains, Zhongshan is a good choice, although it is located in the northwest of Jizhou, it is far away from Desili, Qingzhou, and Yanzhou, not to mention Yuzhou, Jingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou! There are disadvantages and advantages, Zhongshan is the majestic Taihang Mountains in the west, the Yanzhao Great Wall in the northwest, Youzhou in the north, the Hutuo River in the south, and only Bohai County in the east, and Bohai County to the east, is the real Bohai Sea!
The terrain of Zhongshan Country is perfect for Liu Tianhao! After the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion a year later, as long as Liu Tianhao didn't have to care about the northwest and south sides of Zhongshan Country at all, as long as he made good use of the Hutuo River, he could easily defend the Yellow Turban from the south! In this way, Liu Tianhao only needs to wave his troops east out of Zhongshan, advance can be attacked, and retreat can be defended! It's a godsend!
The most important thing is that Liu Tianhao took Daijun, Yanmen, Yunzhong, Daijun, and Zhongshan Kingdom, and with the momentum of returning to the dragon, the land of the four counties and countries supported each other!
Liu Tianhao didn't have to completely reveal the Yellow Turban Rebellion a year later to Jia Xu, he just vaguely mentioned that the world will be in chaos, and he must do his best to build Zhongshan into an iron bucket as soon as possible!
Jia Xu is not only proficient in strategic planning, but also very powerful in government affairs!
The two discussed for a night and decided to start with people, cities, money, and food.
As for people, in the short term, at least within a year, to recruit and pacify the displaced people in Zhongshan Kingdom, or expel them from Zhongshan Territory, Liu Tianhao knows that these people may take up arms to stab themselves at any time in the future, only by controlling them, or expelling them, Zhongshan Kingdom can be considered safe! In the long run, Liu Tianhao plans to wait for Cai Yong to arrive in Zhongshan, under his guise, to recruit the world's party scholars, even if it can't be compared with Yingchuan and Xiangyang, Liu Tianhao also plans to build Zhongshan into a place north of the Yellow River where the style of study is prevalent and the law is good!
As for the city, it is to use the recruited displaced people, as well as the servants of the lord and gentry in the city, to take advantage of the idle time, idle is also idle, it is better to mobilize the whole people, deep ditches and high ravines, and build soil and solid walls; Not only Lunucheng, but also the four counties of Yixian, Wuji, Anxi, and Gaoyang, all have to work together!
The third is money, which doesn't bother Liu Tianhao very much now, because he has Mi Zhu's support! The Mi family is already rich and rivals the country, and now Liu Tianhao hunts in the three northern counties, as well as the grassland animal furs taken from the Xianbei people, all of which are sold in the Central Plains states through the Mi family! Moreover, through Mi Zhu's case of entering the business with business, as well as the recent refuge of Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, Liu Tianhao has the confidence to trade with other businessmen in Zhongshan and take what they need! Therefore, the problem of money really doesn't bother Liu Tianhao very much, even if the money is really spent, won't the world be in chaos a year later? There is a chance to make money!
The last is food, this is the most important point, Liu Tianhao and Jia Xu both know each other very deeply! Otherwise, Liu Tianhao would not have let the army hunt the grassland every day when he first arrived in the clouds, and dried the meat until it was jerky! Because he knows from later history that in this era, when there is a war or natural disaster, there is really a phenomenon of cannibalism!
What is the root cause of the Yellow Turban Rebellion? It's not that religion is blindly believing, but that the people of the world can't fill their stomachs, and they can't even save their lives, so what's so terrible? Taiping Road is nothing more than a façade!
The three Zhang Jiao brothers have been preaching for more than ten years, why do they have to wait until 184 to revolt? Because, in the past ten years, although the people of the world were poor, they were still able to barely survive, and this year, that is, in 183 years, there will be a catastrophe in the agricultural land of the eight states of the Han Dynasty, drought in the north and flooding in the south, and the particles are difficult to harvest, just like that, the imperial court is not willing to reduce the taxes of the people, so the people can't survive!
Eat leaves, gnaw bark! The people are ignorant and hungry, men, women, children, husbands and women, and children, all of whom can eat their mouths, just to survive!
Zhang Jiao is still very powerful! There is courage, there is vision, what is lacking is great wisdom, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are like this, and Zhang Jiao's three brothers are like this! Therefore, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rose up and fulfilled Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, and finally Liu Bang; The three brothers of Zhang Jiao rebelled and fulfilled the heroes, and finally fulfilled Wei Shuwu and Sima!
Zhang Jiao detonated the dynamite fuse that destroyed the Han Dynasty, and the fall of the Han Dynasty officially began!
Say a thousand, say ten thousand, food is the fundamental! Collecting people needs food, building cities requires food, and quelling chaos also requires food, so why should the heroes grab land? Because it is necessary to grab land to grow food, only if there is more food, the population will be larger, and if the population is more, there will be more soldiers, and if there are more soldiers, continue to grab land, this is a cycle!
As early as when Liu Tianhao left Xuzhou with Mi Zhu, the Mi family had already taken action, and hundreds of millions of copper coins were used to buy grain, copper and iron materials according to Liu Tianhao's requirements!
Now, Liu Tianhao and Jia Xu are discussing again, preparing to open the treasury of Zhongshan cities, and use the treasury money to purchase grain from surrounding states and counties!
That night, Liu Tianhao and Jia Xu talked about late night!
On the second day, Jia Xu faced the bureaucrats of Zhongshan and began to assign tasks, and Li Yang supervised it!
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping took the money and went to Shanggu again to buy horses for Liu Tianhao; Horses are too much!
The reason why Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were arranged to go to Shanggu to buy horses, instead of accompanying him to Wuji County to Zhen's house, was because Liu Tianhao felt that he was now working with Jia Xu to deal with the big and small things of Lu Nu well, which was the key!
As for Wuji, it's not too late to go with Tai Shici in a few days!
Liu Tianhao has already sent people to the three counties of Yanmen, Yunzhong, and Daijun, and ordered Gao Shun to lead 10,000 soldiers, with the six strong generals under Lu Bu's account, to stick to the three cities of Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Daijun! Xianbei on the grassland is already very honest, Liu Tianhao thinks that Gao Shunshou will come over!
Therefore, he wants to deploy Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Tai Shici, Ju Yi, Hu Che'er and other generals, as well as nearly 30,000 troops, on the side of Zhongshan to deal with the Jizhou Yellow Turban in the near future!
Because the disciple of Zhang Jiao of Taiping Dao rebelled and went to Luoyang to inform, the imperial court issued an order to all states and counties to prevent the Yellow Turban mob, but the imperial court still seriously underestimated the power of Zhang Jiao's 36 generous 72 small squares of nearly one million people!
Liu Tianhao just wants to be armed in advance and be the first person to eat crabs!
Fame and fortune, this will be a start to kill many birds with one stone!
