Chapter 115: Receiving Jiangdong
Standing on the tower of the inner city of Xiangyang, looking at the large tracts of land that should have been fertile land in the outer city, Jia Xu was puzzled and distressed, and couldn't help asking: "Does the lord want to use this place as a place to store soldiers and grain?"
At the beginning, Wei Xuan told him his strategy, build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become king. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Now, the walls of Xiangyang City have been built very high, and the next step should be to accumulate grain, but with such a large piece of land, how much grain does it take to accumulate it.
Wei Xuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "How can this place of wealth be used as a garrison for soldiers." ”
Jia Xu became more and more puzzled: "Where to make money?"
Wei Xuan nodded and said, "Xiangyang New City has been completed, but the people don't have to be dismissed. Houses and markets can be built here, and sold to officials and citizens. ”
The most lucrative business at the beginning of the 21st century was real estate development. In the foreseeable future, Xiangyang will become not only the center of Jingzhou, but also the center of the entire Han Dynasty, and even the center of the world. When the time comes, not to mention the outer city of Xiangyang, even the land on the outskirts of the city will be expensive. Although Wei Xuan has money in his bag, there are too many places to use it, and he has to find another way to make a living. Engaging in real estate development in the outer city of Xiangyang is his first step.
Cai Mao is the Taishou of Nanjun, and Xiangyang is also his place of governance. If the outer city of Xiangyang is always deserted, his face will be dull. So for Wei Xuan's decision, he raised his hands in favor. Just thinking about it, he arched his hand and said: "To build a house, 50,000 people are enough." ”
presided over the expansion project for four months, and Cai Mao can be regarded as half an expert, and his opinion, Wei Xuan naturally has to adopt it. However, Wei Xuan had already prepared, waved his hand and pointed to the south, and said loudly: "Changsha and Wuling, the land is vast and sparsely populated, so the rest of the people can go there to open up wasteland and cultivate fields. The government and the government each account for half of the acres of land obtained, which can be planted by themselves, or purchased by the government at their own expense. ”
In the final analysis, the Han Dynasty was still an agrarian society, and what people wore and ate in their mouths was inseparable from the hard work of the peasants. However, in this era, the level of production was low, and in order to obtain more grain and cloth, more land could only be cultivated, otherwise the so-called extensive grain accumulation could only be an empty word.
Of course, this will likely lead to soil erosion and rapid deterioration of the environment, but this has little to do with Wei Xuan, because he has only been here for less than eight and a half years.
As he was talking, he suddenly saw a fast horse galloping towards him. The knight on horseback carried a small triangular red flag, which was the post man responsible for delivering the letters. While the post guards in other places were only responsible for maintaining the daily operation of the post stations, the post guards in Jingzhou added this duty. After all, each post man was only responsible for the transmission of letters between the two post stations, and they would be more familiar with this section of the road, and the process of passing was a little more cumbersome, but more efficient, and less prone to error.
The post man arrived outside the city gate, threw the stirrups and dismounted, and went straight to the city tower, shouting loudly as he ran: "Lord Qi, there is an emergency military situation in Luoyang!"
A personal guard had already stepped forward, took the letter, and presented his hands in front of Wei Xuan.
Wei Xuan unfolded the letter and looked at it, and said excitedly: "Okay!
It turned out that this was an urgent report sent by the detailed work sent to the Tiger Prison Pass. On February 28 of the first year of Chuping, the Kwantung Coalition Army, with Gongsun Chan as the vanguard, began to storm the Tiger Pass. The Battle of Tiger Prison Pass began, and Wei Xuan could implement his plan for the Eastern Crusade.
Historically, the battle between Dong Zhuo and the Kwantung coalition army in the Tiger Prison Pass has been full of twists and turns. Now due to Wei Xuan's intervention, Dong Zhuo's side has lost Hua Xiong and Hu Zhen. The losses on the side of the coalition army were even worse, Cao Cao's troops and horses were completely gone, the princes of the Eighteen Towns were also missing Sun Jian, and Yuan Shu was only left with the remnants of the defeated generals. Dong Zhuo should be able to gain a slight upper hand. According to Wei Xuan's estimate, it should not be as easy for the Kwantung coalition forces to conquer the Tiger Prison Pass. And the longer it drags on, the more beneficial it will be for Wei Xuan's plan.
Wei Xuan was waiting to go down to the city to gather the generals, and when he saw the joke and hurriedly came over, he pointed to the city with a happy face and said: "Lord, look, Wen Ruo and Feng Xiao have come to meet each other!"
Under the city, Xun Yu and Guo Jia were each interrogated by the guards with more than a dozen followers. After all, the inner city is different from the outer city, which can be entered and exited at will, while those who want to enter the inner city must go through a permit.
Wei Xuan was overjoyed, and immediately ordered: "Hurry!
As the saying goes, good things come in pairs. Here, Wei Xuan had just met Xun Yu and Guo Jia, and before he had time to slowly catch up, another sergeant came to report there, and Wei Zi brought more than 2,000 people to ask for a meeting outside the city.
In October last year, after Weizi returned to Chenliu, he immediately erected the banner of recruitment. In order to avoid arousing the suspicion of Chen Liutai guarding Zhang Miao, Wei Zi only said that he wanted to join the army of Dong Miao, and funded Zhang Miao a batch of grain and grass. Zhang Miao really didn't have any suspicions, and let Wei Zi recruit troops everywhere, and gathered more than 2,000 people.
Wei Xuan ordered Wei Zi's troops to camp outside Xiangyang City, waiting to be incorporated into the western suburbs for training. He swept it with his divine sense, and suddenly found that one of the people inside was only six feet tall, but his breath was strong, and he couldn't help asking, "Who is this?"
The man himself stepped forward and arched his hand: "My lord, my subordinate is a Yangping defender, and his surname is Lemingjin." ”
Wei Xuan suddenly said: "It turns out that you are Le Wenqian." ”
Le Jin was surprised: "The lord also knows the name of his subordinates?"
Wei Xuan said with a smile: "Wen Qian is brave, today Wei has added another general! I will first entrust you to the post of general, and then be promoted after making military achievements in the future." ”
In the romance, Lejin is not famous. But in history, he and Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, and Yu Ban were called the five good generals under Cao Cao. Although Wei Xuan didn't know his true deeds, from this alone, it could be seen that his talent and martial arts must be extraordinary.
Le Jin because of his short stature, his appearance is not good, and he is not valued by Wei Zi, at this time after listening to Wei Xuan's words, he couldn't help but be excited, and immediately bowed to the ground, and said loudly: "Thank you for the love of the lord, my subordinates are willing to go to the soup for the lord, and never give up!"
......
After the completion of the expansion of Xiangyang, Wei Xuan made a strict distinction between the functions of the inner city buildings, the yamen is the yamen, and the mansion is the mansion, which is no longer mixed up as before.
In this way, the building of the state pastoral yamen is much simpler, only the meeting hall, the study room and the place where the officials are on duty, but there are two entrances in the front and back, and more than a dozen houses.
At this time, the meeting hall was full of people, bringing together all the cronies of Wei Xuan's subordinates, including Jia Xu, Cai Yong, Xi Bian, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Wei Zi, Wu Xu Huang, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Ping, Gan Ning, Sun Ce, Le Jin, Huang Jie, and Cai Mao, Xun Shuang, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Huang Zu, Zhao Dian, and Liu Du in each county.
Among these people, Sun Ce had the lowest official position, and he became a school captain, while Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Wei Zi were even whiter. Those who can sit here are all named by Wei Xuan himself.
Wei Xuan looked around at everyone and said loudly: "The battle in the Tiger Prison is in full swing, Wei wants to take this opportunity to take Jiangdong, what do you think?"
