Chapter 138: Waste to be rebuilt, brainstorm to build a city together

"The generals listened to the order, and now I order Luo Zhiyun to be the main general, leading Hong Hawei, Jiang Jiping, Wu Dongxing, Jinan Wei, Scar, Xiaoying, Zhisuo, Xiao Xiong, and Tie Hong, to lead 60,000 troops, to take all the remaining cities in our west, replace our men and horses in each city, completely unify our west, and build the west into an iron wall. I'll give you three days to get your troops in order, pack your bags, and you'll set off in three days!" I began to give orders to the generals in the hall.

"The two generals Feng Tao and Xiao Yuanhong led 20,000 generals to transport grain and grass to supply the 60,000 troops,"

"Although I have sent a large army to recover the city, I hope that you can surrender without a fight, so that the soldiers of these states and counties will automatically stop resisting, and collect them into the army with their hearts, and strengthen our army!"

"You must be disciplined all the way, be a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, establish our reputation, it is strictly forbidden to harass the people along the way, if there is a violation of the order, the paper cloud can be cut off on the spot, no need to report!"

"After you enter the city, take over the city, make a list of the people, arrange all the men and horses in the city to our existing people, and send all the original military horses in the city back to Tongzhou, Diao Wulong will be responsible for registration, and Liu Qingyang will take over the training!"

"The original assassins, county orders, and officers in the city were all sent to Tongzhou, and Diao Wulong personally assessed and passed the examination, continued to appoint, failed the assessment, and demoted for observation!

"All the official treasury in the city are sealed, and Diao Wulong will personally send people to count them, and after appointing trusted officials, they will be opened according to the situation! All the amount of money spent in the official treasury must be reported to Diao Wulong, and it will be decided after Diao Wulong has reviewed and approved!"

"Liu Qingyang led Wuyang, Qin Zhixing, Fang Shoushan, Li Yun, Zhang Huang, Xu Yao, Cao Qin, Wang Mingli, Hua Shi, Li Yun, Gao Jun, Zhang Qiming, Zhang Linchun, Xi Shenyan, Nan Kaiyun, etc., to lead all other armies to garrison and train troops in Tongzhou!"

My voice is loud. This series of orders came out casually and rang in everyone's ears.

Diao Wulong came along the way, and he had already carried out reasonable disposal of various prefectures and counties, installed officials, appointed important tasks, and managed prefectures and counties. There are still a few states left in the west that have not been reunited. I asked Luo Zhiyun to lead the army to unify, and by the way, separate the original soldiers of each other, so that everyone can run in, in case they form factions and cause trouble in the future.

"Do you think there are any objections or additions. Now we can all say it, and we will all discuss and decide!" I continued as I looked at the crowd.

"The last general has understood, no objections, no additions!" Luo Zhiyun shouted loudly to all the generals in the hall.

All the generals nodded their heads and did not make any further comments.

"Lord Diao. You're the hardest!" I said to Diao Wulong, "There's a lot going on in this city. There are so many more tasks to be added. It's up to you to do it, let Qianli Bole help you in the next two days, and when this period is over, you will carry out the examination among the generals and the people, and select outstanding talents to help you complete these things. ā€

"We just took over Tongzhou, so naturally there are more things. We must develop well!" Diao Wulong replied, "The reuse of talents you mentioned is also something we should consider in the future!"

"It's spring, it's planting season!" I thought. He continued, "Tomorrow I will take 20,000 soldiers to open up wasteland outside the city, develop those wastelands, open the official treasury of Tongzhou, we will buy tools and seeds from the people, plant all these wastelands, and ask the experienced people of the people to guide them, so as to enrich the grain and grass of our officers and soldiers, and be self-reliant and self-sufficient!"

"Wheat is a common crop on our side, we can mainly grow wheat in the wasteland, according to the weather here, we can plant two crops a year, plant one in winter, harvest in spring, plant another in spring, and harvest in autumn! Since you want to lead a large army to open up wasteland and cultivate land, manpower is definitely not a problem!" Diao Wulong thought for a moment and then said.

"In less than three years, our granary will be full, and even outside the barn will be scattered grain!" I was full of confidence in the future, and said to everyone, "At that time, we will sell the land to the people at the lowest price on the market, resell those lands at the lowest price, rent or give them directly to the people, so that the people can eat without worry, and at the critical moment, we can open the granary according to the situation and relieve the people!"

"Let's apply this method of yours to all prefectures and counties," Diao Wulong said happily, "Let the managers of all prefectures and counties also directly lead troops to open up wasteland and help the common people farm the land! Use the amount of wasteland reclaimed every year as the criterion for evaluating the performance of officials! If there is any non-compliance, they will be directly removed from their posts and investigated!"

"This can be considered!" I looked at everyone and said, "We must pay attention to protecting our environment when we reclaim a large amount of wasteland, and if we make a policy at the top, it may cause a turmoil below, and we must be cautious when formulating policies to ensure that there are no worries before deciding to implement it! We want to reclaim wasteland, but we must ensure that our primeval forests, primeval grasslands, If the original vegetation is not destroyed, otherwise it will cause soil erosion, and we will not get the benefits from the wasteland, and we ourselves will first face the dilemma of soil erosion!"

Seeing that everyone nodded, I didn't stop and continued: "Not only can we not destroy our primeval forests, primeval grasslands and primeval vegetation, but we must also mobilize soldiers to actively plant trees, green our surroundings, and change our environment!"

"Like this mountain in the west of the city, we want to plant trees, flowers, and grass on the mountain, we want to open up roads on all sides, we want to build pavilions and pavilions on it, and we want to make our mountain the most beautiful scenery in the city!"

Perhaps I was accustomed to enjoying the beautiful scenery in the Yuanming Forest, and I wanted to transform this mountain into a place with pleasant scenery.

"Our generals here should find a place outside the city and plant a tree there every year," I said for a long time, looking at the atmosphere on the scene a little strict, I couldn't help but joke to everyone, "When we get old, we all go to the trees we planted to enjoy our old age, and when we die, we will bury them in the trees we planted!"

"Haha, laugh wildly at this mention yƬ, I'm in favor of it first!" Zhisuo spoke suddenly.

"Why are you in such a hurry, don't think you're old and just want to enjoy yourself!" Scar asked, glaring at him.

"Yes, yes, we are still counting on you to go into battle to kill the enemy, don't you think about being lazy!" Xiao Xiong said.

"Haha, that's of course, I naturally won't be lazy when I go into battle to kill the enemy, but I also have to plan for my old age!" Zhisuo touched his beard and smiled.

"I've already picked a good place for you!" Xiaoying said with a smile, "It's in that Dingjun Mountain!"

After Xiaoying finished speaking, everyone was stunned and felt that Xiaoying's words were a bit excessive.

"Dingjun Mountain is a resting place for hard-working soldiers, if I go there, maybe it will be my honor!"

"Zhisuo said well, in the future, we will all put the soldiers who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield to Dingjun Mountain, and we must build Dingjun Mountain well, where there are many kinds of cypress trees and many kinds of lawns!" everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and I continued.

"Our city tower should also be reinforced," Luo Zhiyun's thinking became active, and after seeing what I said, he immediately said, "We will build a high city wall according to the topography of our Tongzhou, and use the city wall to connect all the mountains around us, and at the east gate, we will slowly slope the terrain from west to east, so that we can advance and attack, retreat and defend!"

"When the enemy comes to attack, we will only defend but not attack for the time being, and we can defend it for three to five years by virtue of the terrain! We will rely on our geographical superiority to recuperate in the city and gain three or five years, and our troops will grow, and when the time comes, we will go out of the east gate and go straight to the world!" Liu Qingyang, as the chief general in the army, was not willing to lag behind and expressed his military views.

"Marshal Luo, General Liu, what you said is very good," I picked up the words of the two of them and said to the generals in the hall, "We have to start from scratch now, if we have any opinions, let's discuss them together!"

When everyone heard this, they all became lively and spoke freely. (To be continued......)
