Liu Tai looked at everyone and said, "It's naturally a good thing that we can successfully defeat Wang Jun and obtain Youzhou."

But it's easy to fight Youzhou, but it's not easy to sit in Youzhou, especially when others attack Youzhou and Qingzhou at the same time.

Then we will be caught between the end and the end, so that the overall strategy is in a passive state! ”

"Then it's better to attack Shile and rob Yecheng, I already wanted to kill the slave species of this Qiang tribe!" Wang Sang shouted decisively.

"General Wang, don't worry, now that Ming Gong and Shi Legu are Han courtiers, how can they raise troops without an edict." Chu Yu hurriedly came forward to persuade him.

"The emperor sings every night, I heard that even the queen has changed six, where is the appearance of Emperor Guangwen at the beginning!" Wang Sang said disdainfully, "Do you think that if he messes with women every day, the world will automatically come to him!" ”

"Ahem!" Liu Tai coughed a few times and said, "Now that he is my great man, don't talk about it!" ”

Hearing Liu Tai's words, everyone somewhat understood that Liu Tai did not mean to rebel, but looking at Liu Tai's not very polite tone, they also knew one by one that it was not necessary to say how much Liu Tai respected Liu Cong, the current son of heaven.

Liu Tai waved his hand and said, "Okay, there is nothing wrong with the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, and it is impossible for us to fight Shi Le directly."

After all, I don't want my uncle to be rebellious because of this, and let Shile live for a few years! ”

Seeing Liu Tai's words, everyone understood Wang Sang's plan to attack Shile directly.

"Ming Gong summoned us here, but we already have a draft in our hearts?" Chu Yu opened his mouth to draw out Liu Tai's words.

Liu Tai nodded when he heard this: "Actually, it's simple, we want to guard against Shile, but it is impossible to put too many resources into it, so my suggestion is Jizhou, as well as several counties and counties in Youzhou, to further expand the number of government soldiers."

Arm the people in the border areas and form a civilian defense system from households to security and from security to villages.

And our government soldiers will also regularly train these border villages to familiarize them with the battlefield.

If Shi Lezhen fights us one day, they can cooperate with the government soldiers to become a force of resistance on the front line, and buy us time for dispatch! ”

"If it's just a government soldier, it's easy to say!" When Chu Yu heard Liu Tai's words, he was relieved.

Because the government soldiers are basically responsible for their own armor, or they are responsible for food, even if they are dispatched, they are basically dispatched in the local county, and even if they are really dispatched to distant places, at least in one state.

Therefore, relatively speaking, the cost of raising government soldiers is not high, and the government soldiers themselves have fifty acres of land, and there are various hidden benefits, and they are also happy to accept these professions.

And Liu Tai heard the meaning of Chu Yu's words, and continued: "The number of soldiers must be increased!"

However, to specifically increase the number of soldiers, you first need to conduct a census and land measurement in Youzhou and Jizhou before making a decision!

Uncle Zhang, Daozheng, one of you is responsible for the census and land measurement of the land we have obtained.

Of course, you may not have enough manpower, Xi joins the army, and you need your army to support them one or two.

We must first find out the population and land situation within our borders, and only then can we further govern and recruit troops, otherwise all words will only be on paper. ”

"I'll do it!" Zhang Song, Gou Chun and Xi joined the army, but they hurriedly saluted Liu Tai.

Liu Tai nodded when he saw that everyone answered, and continued:

"By the way, when you go down to investigate, you can tell the local scholars calmly.

In the future, as long as I, Liu Tai, am still in charge of Youji, I will conduct a census of population and land every five years.

If they do not report an accurate number, the next inventory will be based on the number they have reported.

The next time the inventory of the lands was discrepant, and the ins and outs of the lands were not explained.

The extra land will be reclaimed by the imperial court, and the lost land needs to be made up for by them. ”

Liu Tai looked at Zhang Song and Gou Chundao, "The land that the two of you investigated this time is the foundation for us to govern Youzhou. ”

"I'll understand!" Zhang Song heard Liu Tai's words and replied again and again.

Anyway, he must be in charge of inquiring about the population, and as for what the land has to do with him, he agreed to talk about it first.

And Gou Chun heard Zhang Song's shameless answer next to him, so he could only agree to come down first.

Liu Tai knew very well that they couldn't find out why they went down to investigate, so they could only say that they could do it as much as possible, and there were some results.

If you really want to figure out how much land these families have in their hands, I am afraid that when the industry produced can feed back agriculture, then when you supplement the grain according to the land controlled by the imperial court instead of collecting taxes, I believe that a lot of land will jump out to ask for food.

Just like the policy of apportioning the land into the mu, the real power of adding the land into the mu is to liberate the shackles of taxation on people, and similarly wait for the industrial productivity to feed back to agriculture, and also liberate the shackles of taxation on agricultural taxes.

After all, compared with such a small agricultural tax, it is really better to let agricultural grain produce more and trade it as commercial grain to foreign countries.

Liu Tai continued, "Continue to return to agriculture itself, and our agricultural technology from Qingzhou can be tried from Youzhou."

Especially the pig iron is really inexhaustible, just enough to make farm tools for the people, as for the hundred steels that want to go further, then leave it to the people to fight slowly.

At the same time, Youzhou is relatively sparsely populated, and a lot of grain can be tried to be intensively managed to maximize the production of grain!

The second is to build roads, Youzhou, Jizhou, and the entire main road to Qingzhou for me to find a way to build first.

And with the spread of these infrastructure constructions, it is also possible to absorb all kinds of idle people in the entire Youzhou, especially those deserters of Wang Jun.

I don't believe it, can they still eat bran and drink thin every day as deserters, but as long as they are willing to work here, they can at least eat three meals a day! ”

"Isn't it too much for three meals......" Listening to the words that kept coming out of Liu Tai's mouth, Yang Yu's eyes were a little dazed, as if he was listening to a book from heaven, not that he couldn't understand it, but he couldn't believe it.

Working in this world, you still have to give food to the conscripts? And three meals a day, this kind of thing is simply unheard of, unheard of!

"Three meals! If the guy who works eats two meals and has no strength in his body, then the work is very slow! Liu Tai waved his hand.

To tell the truth, even in modern society, people who do manual work must be fed.

And sometimes it's not just three meals, but at noon tea time, the host may invite them to eat another meal.

Well, when Yang Yu heard Liu Tai's categorical words, he felt that if those defeated soldiers were afraid that they would not say a year, they would have to admire them if they could support them for two months, after all, who would want to rebel if they have food!

And Liu Tairuo knew Yang Yu's thoughts, but he would also express his approval of Yang Yu's ideas.

The reason is very simple: the contradiction of this era is the contradiction between the lack of productive forces and the growing material needs of the people.

Basically, as long as you can eat, it is actually not difficult for the whole world to settle down.

Of course, being able to eat can not only settle people, but also wolves.

Therefore, Liu Tai understood that if he wanted to solve the rout, he had to find a way for them to work and give them food.

In this way, for Youzhou in Jizhou, it is one more laborer and one less rebel, otherwise relying on slaughter alone will only kill more and more.

At this point, Liu Tai continued:

"From the aspects of transportation and agriculture, and for the convenience of our dispatch of soldiers, it is necessary to dispatch the soldiers under our command to the Youji, Qingsanzhou, which we now control, at least within half a month.

Therefore, in addition to building the first fleet where Jiaozhou Bay is located, we also need to build a second fleet in Bohai Bay. ”

"And build a fleet?!" Hearing this, even Chu Yu was a little difficult to accept this time.

After all, the main goal of the fleet is to deal with Wang Jun, and now that Wang Jun has been solved, especially since the world already knows this trick, even if he wants to have any suddenness, it is not realistic.

What's more, the Dongwu region where Sima Rui is located has enough shipping heritage, and they have had the experience of contacting Gongsun Du, but it is not difficult for them to make cross-sea ships.

In such a situation, to be honest, Chu Yu thinks that it is enough to have an army in Jiaozhou Bay, and it is a pure waste to build another fleet!

"A second maritime army must be formed!" Liu Tai said in an unquestionable tone,

"However, the nature of this army is mainly defensive in nature, and their greatest role is to maintain the smooth flow of the entire Bohai Sea shipping lane.

They were able to send our soldiers from the waterway to Youzhou and Qingzhou in a few days.

Especially if the enemy plans to attack Youzhou, it will be too long for us to rush over Qingzhou by land.

When the river from Guanggu City to Bohai Bay is unblocked, then Guanggu City will not even take three days to get on the boat to the Youzhou area, and if we build a canal to the Bohai Sea, then we will be able to completely control the three states of Youjiqing! ”

"And build a canal?!" When Chu Yu heard Liu Tai's words, he forcibly held back his thoughts and wanted to roar, and said,

"Ming Gong, you have to think clearly, if we let go of Manan Mountain, then Shile will not rest!"

"I know!" Liu Tai said calmly, "But we don't say far, only say that this year and next year, will he dare to attack us?!" ”

Hearing Liu Tai's words, everyone present looked at each other, but they also had to admit that at this time, Shile Allah launched an attack, unless he was crazy.

Needless to say, after he lost his moral protection, Liu Tai was so excited that he directly led his soldiers and horses to kill Shi Le, and he had to kill Shi Le completely.

Therefore, Shi Le would never dare to take the initiative to attack Liu Tai.

Liu Tai said: "Therefore, we will have a long period of stable development, and what we need to do during this time is to develop ourselves as much as possible."

Through large-scale projects, we will absorb all kinds of people, so that they can have food to eat and work to do, so that the whole society can be stable.

At the same time, we also need to develop the marine resources of Bohai Bay.

Some of the military shipyards are open to the civilian sector, allowing them to build large ships for fishing throughout the Bohai Sea.

And you can use these large ships to go to the Liaodong region and trade with them.

Horses, furs, herbs, or jade, and we traded with them salt, brocade, and books.

Wang Jun was defeated, we became the strongest in the north, as long as we don't move first, then the entire power in the north will be stable.

What we need to do is to tap into our own potential and make us stronger! ”

Liu Tai said his thoughts to everyone, and also gave everyone enough time to think.

To be honest, for Liu Tai, he really doesn't need to worry, he is only a few years old now, and he hasn't married Wang Wei yet!

He is also ready to wait until the conflict between the Xiongnu and the Han people breaks out, and then hold high the banner of the Han Dynasty and participate in the struggle for hegemony in the world in the name of Han.

Unlike now, no matter what you do, you need to follow Liu Cong's decree, so that your every move needs to be restricted.

Don't say it, when you break free from the shackles, you will go to Shile for trouble as soon as possible.

After all, without Liu Cong above his head, it would be reasonable for him to attack Shile in the name of revenge for Wang Mi.

Therefore, after killing Wang Jun by himself, Liu Tai decisively chose to recuperate.

Compared to Shi Le, who didn't know how to develop his potential, Liu Kun had no development potential at all, and the Murong clan was now an immature nascent civilization, so it could be said that time was on his side.

Don't mention, none of his soldiers have been replaced with armor of the hundred-steel level!

And he didn't want to build the entire Yongji Canal, but only wanted to build the section of the North Canal from Tianjin to Beijing.

That is, the canal from Lushui to Baihe to Bohai Bay, with a total length of about 148 kilometers.

Because this is a canal that history has proved to be able to be repaired, if this canal can be successfully completed, for himself, as long as this waterway is successfully opened up, and all kinds of dangers on the waterway are moved and reclaimed, then he will be able to put his troops in his hands directly from Qingzhou to the hinterland of Youzhou in a week!

What is this concept in ancient times, you must know that the limit of an empire is about the range that can be reached by soldiers in a hundred days.

For Liu Tai, even if there are really people under Shi Le's command who are good at dancing with long sleeves and saying that Liu Kun in the north and Sima Rui in the south will attack him together.

Liu Tai is also sure that after defeating one side, he will complete his troop deployment within a week.

But in this case, Liu Tai's biggest weakness is the Murong Xianbei clan.

Because with the completion of Liu Tai's strategic concept of Bohai Bay, the only weakness he has left now is to cross the sea at Murong Xianbei in Pingzhou to attack Liu Tai's hinterland.

It was as if he could use the Bohai Sea, the bathtub that belonged to China, to complete the easy military dispatch of the three states of Youji, Hebei and Qingdao, and in the same way, Murong Xianbei could attack Liu Tai's hinterland at any time through the ocean.

To some extent, this strategy of a large bathtub must not have a gap in the tub from the beginning.

Otherwise, neither the fall of Rome nor the Spain that Justinian I had on his mind will tell you what the price of such a large bathtub will pay if there is a gap.

But as long as the strategic closed loop is completed and the entire big bathtub is occupied, the transportation cost of the entire organization will drop to an incredible level.

The most important thing is that the ocean, a strategic resource that is somewhat unfamiliar to China, has really appeared in China's strategic vision for the first time.
