Regarding Zu Ti's departure from the mountain, Liu Tai naturally didn't know.

As for Gou Chun's envoy Gou Xi, Liu Tai also had the idea that it would be best if he could come back, and how much he would be on guard against Gou Xi if he couldn't come back.

But now, what is more important is that Liu Tai put his mind on continuing to build Qingzhou.

Because the winter wheat harvest is abundant!

The bumper harvest of winter wheat has made Liu Tai have a lot of money in his hands.

For Liu Tai, he is not afraid of running out of money, because as long as any modern person has power, it is not difficult to get money.

Because the nine-year compulsory education has more or less studied political thought, and knows what the essence of money is.

For Liu Tai, the real problem is materials, especially the food that must be grown for a year to grow from the land.

This thing, even if Liu Tai has great ability, he can only wait until it grows and matures.

Now that the winter wheat harvest has been successful, Liu Tai is relieved, but he immediately started the next step.

Liu Tai immediately called Chu Yi, Cao Wei, Zhang Song and Yang Man over to start the next meeting.

"I've seen the county lord." These people were discussing and working in the interior hall, and when they saw Liu Tai coming, everyone saluted together.

After Liu Tai returned the salute, he said to Liu Yao and Xi Jian beside him:

"Zhengchang, you go and guard the door, don't let anyone approach, Daohui, you are responsible for making meeting minutes and recording the meeting."

"Obey!" Liu Yao and Xi Jian agreed to come down, Liu Yao went out to guard the gate, and Xi Jian found a pen and paper and began to record.

Seeing such a posture, the four of them came back to their senses, and their faces couldn't help but show a little seriousness.

Obviously, the next big thing is coming.

Liu Tai looked at the crowd, "Everyone, I came to you today because after the autumn harvest, our grain and grass have been harvested.

In addition to deducting the part needed for this year's military needs, a part of the grain can be freed up to develop Qingzhou! ”

To tell the truth, Liu Tai has not taken any initiative to build the entire Qingzhou, not because he doesn't want to, but because he doesn't have enough resources in his hands, and even if he wants to build infrastructure, he doesn't have enough food.

Again, money is really not a problem for Liu Tai, who has gradually replaced it with salt tickets.

The real problem is that the people will consume food violently as long as they work, and it is necessary to ensure that the people have enough food to work.

In this case, if Liu Tai can't solve the problem of rations for the common people, it would be good to say that he was only close to some of the main roads in the city, but as long as the distance is far, then there is not enough food to really kill people.

And for these hard-working employees, Liu Taizhen hopes that none of them will die.

They are dead and who they exploited, and they didn't see that as long as the common people are not married and have children, even the greedy capitalists will begin to become much more amiable.

Chu Yi heard Liu Tai's words and said, "There is Wang Jun in the north, Shi Le in the west, and Gou Chun in the south still hasn't returned, can the county prince consider these matters?" ”

"Naturally, it was taken into account!" Liu Tai nodded and replied when he heard Chu Yu's words.

"If this is the case, please inform us of the county announcement, and we will definitely do our best to plan for the county princess." Chu Yu said.

Liu Tai nodded when he heard Chu Yu's words, "Where to start first, by the way, start with the terrain!" ”

Several people present glanced at each other, but they didn't expect Liu Tai to start from the terrain.

Liu Tai opened his mouth and said, "If we enter the troubled times again, we will naturally be determined to revive the Han family and realize the unification of the world."

One of the first-class places is naturally Guanzhong, there are 800 miles of Qinchuan inside, and there are many passes such as Hangu Pass, Wuguan, Dasan Pass and so on as a barrier, as long as the local area is developed, you can sit and watch the world.

The second is Shu and Jiangdong, both of which have natural hazards as a barrier and can be used as a force to divide one side.

Relatively speaking, Qingzhou, where we are now, is third-class in terms of terrain! ”

"If you can take Jizhou and get Youzhou, and Youzhou and seize Sizhou, and occupy the north of the Yellow River, the world can still be determined, and the general must not be depressed!" Chu Yu looked at Li Tai and said again and again.

"Mouyuan rest assured, how can I be arrogant!" Liu Tai heard Chu Yu's words, waved his hand and said, "It's just that after I read the map of our Qingzhou these days, I have a little idea in my heart." ”

"Please also ask the general to make it clear!" Chu Yi heard Liu Tai's words, but said respectfully.

"The back area of our Qingzhou, north of the Bohai Sea, south of the Yellow Sea, west of the Luzhong Mountains and Jishui as a barrier, within the Lubei Plain and the Jiaolai Plain, if it can be successfully developed, its strategic value, is not inferior to the land of eight hundred miles of Qinchuan!"

Liu Tai blew a wave first and then said, "However, the biggest problem in Qidi is that the defense line of the Yellow River in Jishui in the north is not reliable, so we must solve Wang Jun, so as to ensure that the rear area of vigorous development will not be captured by the other party."

Otherwise, our army will not have the capital to start over!

During the Warring States Period, the State of Qi was destroyed by the State of Yan, and although it was restored, it no longer had the prestige of the Eastern Emperor.

In other words, starting from the land to compete for the world, the southern opponent is easy to say, but if we face the northern opponent, we can't afford to lose a game! ”

When the important people present heard Liu Tai's words, their faces couldn't help but become a little serious.

Although since ancient times, the Qi land regime has not been able to achieve anything, but Qi has the existence of a top country like Qi State.

And hearing Liu Tai's current statement, everyone came over in a trance, Qidi can be divided into this place, but even if it is divided, there must be people with enough strength to divide it.

Even if it is not as good as the soldier Han Xin, at least he is the world's first-class handsome.

Otherwise, as long as the battlefield in the north loses one game, the shortcomings of Qidi's lack of sufficient depth will be exposed.

Therefore, when the world is in turmoil, there are many people who divide the world, but there are few people who can rule the world.

Except for some geniuses, it is difficult for others to control the land in the northern part of Qingzhou as a foundation.

Because this area is really only the kind of strong people who maintain a strong can operate, once the situation is weak, Qingzhou will naturally be taken and wanted!

But any country has to take into account the risks and the cost of trial and error, and who can guarantee that they will not make mistakes.

Liu Tai looked around at everyone, but saw that their faces had become serious before he said slowly:

"After we occupied Qingzhou, we first had to deal with the wealthy families in Qingzhou, and then we fought with Wang Jun, so I didn't have time to arrange.

But with the end of the Battle of Nanpicheng, the danger in the north has somewhat decreased.

With this bumper harvest, we have the basis for the large-scale reclamation of surplus grain in two plains in the hinterland. ”

"Does the general mean that he wants to invest the resources of the entire Qingzhou in the development of this large plain?" Chu Yu couldn't help but say when he heard Liu Tai's words.

"It can only be said that the development of these two fields is the mainstay, and this will not change for at least the next three years!" Liu Tai said seriously,

"Even if we fight Wang Jun, we must try our best to ensure that the development of these two places can continue!"

"If we defeat Wang Jun!?" Hearing Liu Tai's words, Chu Yu couldn't help but ask, "When the time comes, you can have it in hand!" ”

"Then the enemy we are going to face is likely to change from Wang Jun to Shile, and Jizhou is afraid that it will all be within the scope of the opponent's attack.

Therefore, the development of this place still cannot be stopped, because Jizhou will become a battlefield, and here it will become the rear! ”

Liu Tai looked at Chu Yi and said, "In other words, until the northern enemy is resolved, the land of Qingzhou will still become our hinterland.

So if you don't want to be strapped for food in the future, then these two plains must be developed! ”

Hearing Liu Tai's words, Chu Yu thought for a moment, nodded and said:

"People who have no foresight must have near-term worries, the general intends to tilt resources to the development of this Qingzhou, and I agree with the general's decision!"

When everyone saw that even Chu Yi agreed, no one else came out to oppose it.

And Liu Tai's reasons are also very sufficient, in this kind of strategic matter, only Liu Tai and Chu Yu can make a decision.

"But!" Chu Yu looked at Liu Taidao and said, "Before we fully develop this hinterland, Gou Xi in the south is okay, with the Lushan Mountains as the defense line, even if Gou Xi wants to attack, he will take Langya Kingdom and Taishan County at most."

But what about the northern kings Jun and Shile?

They are not easy to get along with, and they will not give us time to develop the land calmly! ”

"I agree with that, so this year I will try my best to recruit soldiers and increase the number of soldiers!" Liu Tai said,

"Of course, the local government soldiers are mainly recruited, and I am the elite of the government soldiers, which can ensure the combat effectiveness of the soldiers to the greatest extent. After all, even if it is a government soldier, at least last year has been training for a year! ”

"Do you want to expand the number of troops directly under the county?! How many people is the general going to expand the army? Chu Yu couldn't help asking.

"About 30,000 or so, and the number of mobile troops under your command will reach 80,000!" Liu Tai said to Chu Yu.

"Many!" When Chu Yu heard Liu Tai's words, he shook his head at Liu Tai and said,

"At the end of the battle of Nanpicheng in March, we have replenished a group of soldiers who have been wounded and retired from the army.

Now, if I add more, I think that adding another 20,000 people is already the limit.

If you replenish more, it will even affect the blood-forming ability of the government soldiers! ”

For Chu Yu, the government soldiers are completely different from the soldiers directly under Liu Tai.

Because the government soldiers have military land, they only need to farm when the farmers are busy and train the soldiers when the farmers are not working, and the state itself does not collect taxes.

Therefore, in addition to preparing armor, the army is basically responsible for everything else, and even the military rations must be prepared by the government soldiers.

But even so, the soldier is willing to eat, after all, this is the best way to rise.

But Liu Tai's standing army directly involved in the battle was different, they not only had to pay the official salt stamps, but also needed the official to prepare food.

It is more important to eat three meals, teach military history, etc., which is very stressful for logistics.

Therefore, Chu Yu didn't care about the increase in the number of government soldiers, and even felt a little willing.

Because as long as there is a field, it is good, as for when the field is not enough, then as long as the soldiers go out to conquest, there will naturally be a field.

But the mobile army directly under Liu Tai is completely different.

They are very much in need of logistics, and it seems that they have only increased by 20,000 people, but the entire comprehensive calculation shows that the current army of 70,000 people in Liu Tai's hands is not much compared to the logistics consumption of the usual army of 100,000 people.

As a person who really manages money, how can Chu Yu not have a big head!

The only thing that makes Chu Yu fortunate is that Liu Tai is not a reckless soldier, even if he is captured from the hands of the soldiers on the battlefield, he can use his wrists to consume the capture in the hands of the soldiers to the maximum.

And this way can promote the prosperity of many industries in the rear, especially after winning the battle of Nanpicheng last year, Liu Tai first exchanged the salt ticket for the capture of the soldiers, and then counted the things that the soldiers needed, so that the rear factories were fully operational, and when the soldiers returned, Liu Tai sold all kinds of materials to the soldiers at a low price.

This makes the factories in the rear look forward to when Liu Tai will fight again, so that he can get rich again.

To be honest, Liu Tai is indeed a little ruthless in collecting materials and directly collecting the seventh layer.

But most of the soldiers are willing, because if it is a small piece of delicate things, the soldiers are their own personal collections, but those relatively large things can only be exchanged, otherwise, even if they are held, it is not very convenient to march.

In addition to Liu Tai's official purchase, some merchants around the barracks also came to buy and seize.

It's just that the seizure of the original acquisition of these merchants was probably purchased at a price of one percent, and Liu Tai gave them three percent, which was already very polite to some extent.

And with Liu Tai's basic price increase, merchants want to buy more money.

Therefore, the soldiers still supported Liu Tai's policy, and Chu Yu in the rear naturally supported this policy even more.

"Twenty thousand...... Liu Tai heard Chu Yi's words, thought for a while and nodded, "Just twenty thousand!" ”

Seeing that Liu Tai passed this order, Chu Yi was relieved, otherwise if Liu Tai refused, he would be in trouble.

Liu Tai continued, "In terms of army recruitment, I will order to go down, and in contrast, the comprehensive investment in these two plains should be planned more comprehensively, and give you a more specific direction." ”

Everyone looked at each other and thought Liu Tai was looking down on whom?!

Although it is said to develop these two plains, in the final analysis, it is not farming, and as a Chinese, who can't farm!

And Liu Taidao: "Agriculture first needs various production technologies, fortunately, Wang Di is already compiling, and it should be possible to take the top of the "Qi Min Yaoshu" compiled by him according to the season."

Then there will be an intensive labor force, which allows Zhang Song to help get more middle-aged people to top it.

And derived from this, the first is the construction of water conservancy facilities and roads and bridges, which is a big project, Uncle Cao is still building Guanggu City, so I can only let Guo Pu run first in the early stage, build the framework first, and complete it together with the canal.

Coupled with agricultural supporting facilities, such as water conservancy mills, keel waterwheels, irrigation drum trucks, etc., Zuyan needs you to look for those who are good at technology to see who knows this technology.

And when these are solved, I am afraid that a large number of livestock will need to be used in the future.

Let's wait until you take Youzhou, but the grass seeds should be prepared first, and they can be used directly when the time comes!

The most important thing is that these lands are cultivated by ourselves, and without the participation of the wealthy families, all the grain can be harvested, which is the most important thing.

However, in order to prevent land annexation, a tax bureau dedicated to the recovery of taxes should be established, and whoever has more land in his hands will fiercely investigate his family's Qiantian tax and forced labor tax!

By the way, do you have anything to add? ”

Chu Yi and the others looked at each other, and for a moment they all had a feeling that they really didn't know how to farm.

Immediately shook their heads!

After the next update, you don't have to wait
