Wu Qian and others arrived in Liang County on 18 February.

The recruits began training immediately after two days of rest.

Start with the basic recognition of the golden drum flag, and occasionally intersperse with some queues and skill training, and after the body slowly adapts, it will gradually increase.

Shao Xun took the time to teach some basic knowledge of bows and arrows, showed a few hands, and established a glorious image for the recruits, and then went to Liangxian Martial Arts to teach for a few days.

These things are important, but they don't happen overnight.

The most important things have been discussed.

The thirteen counties of Yuzhou are divided into three categories in principle.

Category 1: Straight collar.

As the name suggests, this type requires you to send your own henchmen and officials to control deeply, including but not limited to measuring the fields, clarifying household registration, assigning servants to collect taxes, educating the people, and so on.

You need to do everything yourself.

Undoubtedly, this will require a large number of competent officials to fill the vacancies, or to slowly turn the old local officials into their own.

Moreover, these officials must also be able to reconcile the intricacies of local relations.

For example, Shao Xun asked for 5,000 apprentices to be levied in a certain county, and after receiving the order, Taishou divided the 5,000 quotas into counties - this quota was not set casually, it required Taishou to have an in-depth understanding of the situation in each county.

After receiving the order of the Taishou, the county commanders sent officials to the townships to collect and distribute people.

This step is also crucial, is the officer capable? Are you familiar with the local situation? Can you recruit enough people within the allotted time?

If the officials are incompetent, they will not be able to do it.

So where are the competent officials? Generally in the local Haoqiang or noble families.

Outsiders can't actually do this job well, unless they get the support of the head snake, just like Shao Xun greeted Du Tan and Du Yin brothers in Yiyang and asked them to cooperate with their students - in the final analysis, it is Shao Xun who subdues the Du brothers, the biggest snake in Yiquanwu, so that his students can open up the situation, otherwise it will be like being blind.

So, when will his students be able to get rid of the Du brothers and complete the task on their own?

This requires the accumulation of time, mainly to accumulate contacts and experience, and also to see their respective understanding and ability.

This is true of servitude, and so is taxation.

So, is there an easy way to do it?

Of course, there is, entrusted to the family and let them manage the county. If you need anything, just tell them and ask them.

They are big families that have been rooted in the local area for decades, hundreds or even hundreds of years, and they are the head snakes of the land, and they are clear about all kinds of things in the local area. If you are willing to support you seriously, the levy, donation, and grain levy will be able to get you done soon.

Historically, the princes of the Northern and Southern Dynasties were not fools, everyone knew the benefits of centralization, and everyone knew the advantages of directly controlling the population, money and grain instead of relying on agents to collect it, the question is whether you can do it?

Your will, after all, needs someone to execute, do you have this person?

Shao Xun is very sober, he knows where the boundaries of his ability are, and he will not mess around.

With the team of students he cultivated, as well as some of the Hebei scholars who took refuge in him, after spending several years, he has barely clarified the five counties of Liang, Yiyang, Yangcheng, Yangzhai and Luyang, and Xiangcheng is still slowly establishing an order that belongs to him, and it still takes time to digest.

In addition to the twelve counties in western Henan (including the seven counties of Xiangcheng County), he took the five counties of Chen County (Chen, Xiang, Ku, Yangxia, and Wuping) to the direct collar, which already belonged to the bowl and looked at the pot, and reached the limit of the stage.

In addition to the first type of straight collar, the second type is semi-straight collar.

For example, Yingchuan County, which is right under the nose, is a place with a bit of foundation, but not much foundation.

He intends to slowly control it by accumulating over time.

Behind Yingchuan, what he wants to cut are Runanguo, Xincaiguo, and Liangguo.

First get the land directly under the Sima clan's sect, break through step by step, and slowly cut it.

The third category is a place where there is no foundation at all, and they can only be restrained by the righteousness given by the imperial court system. As long as you can provide him with money and food, you can do whatever you want.

Some of these things he told his subordinates and generals, and some of them hid in their hearts and didn't say them explicitly, but some smart people should have seen a thing or two.

******

On February 20, after moaning in pain for half the night, Lu Xun gave birth to a son.

Shao Xun was so happy that he scratched his ears and cheeks.

This is his second child and second son. He doesn't have a patriarchal mentality, but in this world, his son can really help too much.

For Lu, this is the first child in her life.

When I heard the sound of a child croaking to the ground, tears poured out like a flood that burst the embankment.

At this moment, she only felt that there were no regrets in her life.

The grievances that I have suffered have finally paid off at this moment.

Yes, she was committed to Shao Xun and was not very reluctant at first. It's just that by mistake, I broke my sister-in-law and his private relationship, and under the influence of my sister-in-law, I feel that this person is not so unacceptable.

Coupled with the influence of the current situation, he followed him half-pushed and half-followed him in the end.

Of course, she doesn't regret it.

This evil spirit is too good at coaxing women, and too brave, I don't know how many times she has been asked to secretly wash the bedding, and she doesn't dare to borrow her hand - of course, she became numb later, and she didn't care if the maid knew.

Now that she has given birth to Lin'er, she only feels that her life has reached this point, and she has reached perfection.

Thinking of this, she struggled to turn around, looking at the child held in her hand by the maid, and a happy smile bloomed on her face.

She was already thinking about how to play with the child in the future, how to teach him to read and write, how to teach him the principles of life, and then let his grandfather teach him martial arts and military strategies......

There is also - she originally had a good impression of Nanyang Princess Liu, and she also felt guilty in her heart, but at this moment, there was no guilt.

Most of the money accumulated by King Fan Yang in his life is still in the Luoyang Palace, including money and silk, gold and silverware, calligraphy and painting, land deeds, grain, etc. The other part was sent by her to the Green Willow Garden and handed it over to Shao Xun to fund him to raise soldiers.

The part of Luoyang, she originally planned to hand it over to the Liu family to express her apologies, but now she has changed her mind.

The moment she saw her son, she seemed to activate the mother beast's calf instinct, and she wanted to leave everything to her child, even if the child's father would earn him more of the family business in the future.

This is the property left by the mother to the child, and the meaning is different.

Lu Shi was exhausted and lay back down, but his eyes were still swirling on the swaddling clothes.

Outside, Shao Xun had calmed down.

Father Shao Xiu pretended to be calm and chatted with his son about military affairs.

After her mother Liu visited Lu's, she went to Le's place again to accompany her to be a female celebrity and gossip.

Shao Xun gave a thumbs up in his heart, Ah Niang's emotional intelligence is too high, and she is also kind-hearted, helping him stabilize the backyard, amazing.

"Although that Shile killed the king's chariot, he wandered around, and he didn't look like he could do things." Lao Shao said solemnly, but his ears were pricked up, and when he heard his grandson's cry, he stroked his beard happily.

"Grandpa Gaojian." Shao Xun arched his hand and said perfunctorily.

The king chariot ride is Wang Kan, and it has been hung up.

The battle of Cangyuan Pavilion was defeated for dozens of miles, and he was chased and killed by the Shile cavalry.

He died before Yuan Fu, the assassin of Yanzhou, who was defeated by Shi Le and Wang Mi in Juancheng, and was killed by the mutinous troops after retiring from the city.

Shao Xun had a little impression of Yuan Fu.

This gentleman is a native of Runan, who has served as a Taishou of Runan, and is very active in the court.

The Son of Heaven asked Xiuguang to become a garden, and immediately produced food and food.

Sima Yue asked him to repair the Qianjin Yan and immediately produce food and food.

After Yuan Fu's death, there was one less loyal and good man in the Great Jin Dynasty.

After Shile wreaked havoc in Yanzhou, he crossed the river to the north and tossed north.

This guy is really fast in and fast out, focusing on plundering, just like stealing chickens.

Wang Mi has not retreated, and returned to Baima from Juancheng, not knowing what he wants to do. If he dies and goes south, what awaits him will be "four defeats in three years".

"The people of Yuzhou, save it if you can, don't always think about letting people help you burn the wasteland." Shao Xiu suddenly sighed and said, "The land was obtained by burning the wasteland, but the grass and trees on the ground were also burned. ”

After saying that, he got up and left, and went out for a stroll.

Shao Xun was stunned.

My father thinks a lot, and his heart is really good, at least much purer than a person like him who has entered the dye vat of power.

Shao Xun stayed in the Green Willow Garden for another three days.

On the 23rd, after the assembly of the armies, he bid farewell to his family and led his troops eastward.

Before leaving, he sent Pei Kang to Luoyang, Sima Yue could leave, but the right guard forbidden army could not take it away.

This is a full 10,000 people, even if they can't fight with the Huns, the defense of the city is qualified.

The next war with the Xiongnu was endless, and the "elite division" was important, but the "line-filling division" was also indispensable. You get people away, and I recruit and train them from scratch, how can it be ready-made?

Anyway, when the words were brought, he didn't care what Sima Yue's expression was when he found out. If Sima Yue really insisted on going his own way, he would directly stop him halfway, which would be too ugly.

On the 27th, the army entered the territory of Yingchuan.

At this time, Shao Xun received the news: Hou Xunxian of Yingyang Pavilion died violently at home.

The army sped up and headed straight for Yingyin County.

Hou Xun of Jibei County led the Xun clan to work hard.
