Chapter three hundred and seventy-fourth to the people to benefit

Xu Shu then spoke, cement needed to mobilize large-scale personnel to take lime, and it also needed to be processed in industrial parks, but the current industrial zone has not yet begun to be formed.

"Zi Yang, everything in the renovation of the industrial zone will be left to you!" Liu Mang pointed at Liu Ye and said, Liu Ye's talent is no less than Xu Shu, but the two have different emphasis. Liu Ye focuses more on military strategies and institutional techniques, while Xu Shu is better at military strategies and internal affairs, so Xu Shu is in charge of the overall situation, and Liu Ye is responsible for the industrial zone. "You can find all the money needed by Zi Yang in the industrial zone!" In Shouchun, Yang Hong said that Liu Mang's cheap father-in-law Yuan Shu had accumulated over the years, which is not a problem with money.

"Liu Ye receives the order!" Liu Ye stepped forward and clasped his fists at Liu Mang to take the order.

"Lord, there are as many as one million people in the city. Although there is food and grass supply, it will not be a problem in the long run!" Xu Shu said that a big problem in Shouchun now. The food, clothing, housing and transportation of the people have almost been solved. Another problem is that these people have nothing to do now. It is not the time of busy farming. The time for those fields to be reclaimed has long passed. If these people have nothing to do, something will happen. In ancient times, the high taxes of the rulers in ancient times, in addition to allowing themselves to have more food and grass to fight for the world, there is another way to get the people busy so that they will not form refugees. Once people are too idle, they will naturally think more and not be able to vent their energy. This will cause trouble. Therefore, more than a dozen fights and fights in the city have occurred in the past few days.

"I am about to discuss these things with Yuan Zhi and you all!" Liu Mang nodded. Although the people now have land because of the household registration system, they cannot cultivate because of the wrong season, so they are no different from unemployed in modern society. This is the millions of unemployed people. Except for those who are in the army, the unemployment rate basically reaches 90%. If there is no turmoil, there will be ghosts.

"There are 700,000 strong people among the million people of Yuanzhi." Among these 700,000 women of the age of 200,000, and the remaining ones are 500,000 strong in the fifteen to forty. In the chaotic times, there are many elderly, weak, sick and disabled people who can run to Shouchun. After all, if you have families and weak people, you won't come here for a long distance, and you may die halfway. "Transfer 300,000 strong! I'm going to form an army!"

Liu Mang's words shocked everyone present and stole 300,000 strong. This expansion of the army is really terrifying. Not to mention the 300,000 troops, now Shouchun can support 100,000 troops, which is really to the limit. Even if Yuan Shao used the four continents of Hebei, the wealthy land, it would be almost the same. You should know that the expansion of the army is not just the consumption of military rations. Another point is the armor. The 300,000 troops, which is impossible to empty Yangzhou. Moreover, Liu Mang is still forming a new white horse, Congyi and the Western Liang Iron Cavalry Yiyang Martial Arts, all need to be formed. These soldiers and horses need armor and weapons. Now Shouchun is wearing the treasury of Lujiang, and there are no extra weapons and armor for other troops. He also expands the army by 300,000. This is to be a military force! Even Zhang Xiu in Nanyang dares not play like this.

And the most important point is that the people are willing to join the army! Since ancient times, good men have not served as soldiers, and good irons are not used as nails. If you want to use swords and force others to join the army!

"My lord think twice! This is absolutely impossible. Military and military affairs have been the way to cause disaster since ancient times!" As the leader of civil servants, Xu Shu had to oppose Liu Mang's suggestion on the spot. Liu Ye fell down beside him, "Three hundred thousand troops, plus some are almost four hundred thousand now! How many people are going to train troops!

Although the number of people in this war is an advantage, what can a group of mobs without soldiers do? They just consume food and grass in vain! Liu Ye and Xu Shu were afraid that Liu Mang was attacked by Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu's three coalition forces because of their small troops, so they were angry and prepared to expand their army. Once they expanded, they were so many, and they were completely blinded by hatred.

The only scholars at the scene did not speak to dissuade him was Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe. He expanded his army by 300,000. He was also shocked. It was really a way to cause disaster. The Yellow Turban Army had millions of soldiers! But in the end, it was not that all the Zhang brothers were dead, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled, leaving behind some of the former Yellow Turban Community Commanders. Jia Xu didn't speak, but that he saw that Liu Mang didn't look like the kind of shy and angry person at all. His expression looked very normal and could not have been on a whim. In addition, since Liu Mang came up with it, he naturally wanted to gather ideas. Jia Xu watched the development of the situation calmly, and he was also looking at what the new lord had made.

Liu Mang shook his head as he heard the dissuasion of Liu Ye and Xu Shu and others. How could it be that Liu Mang was so angry that he regretted it because of the small number of troops in Yangzhou. However, Liu Mang won the battle after all. Liu Bei lost his white-eared heavy armor and killed the general Chen Da's general. Zhang Xiu was even more martyred. Who was even more shameless and angry? "Is it true that Ziyang said that if I don't form this army, then I don't need to spend money and food!" Liu Mang asked directly, and this sentence made Xu Shu and Liu Ye stunned for a moment.

When they heard that Liu Mang wanted to expand his army of 300,000, their first reaction was to oppose it, but they subconsciously forgot that even if they did not expand their army, these 300,000 people would have to be raised in Shouchun, even more than 300,000, with a population of 1.12 million. These are all eating Liu Mang's military rations.

"Young lord!" Another battle was about to stand up. The man called Liu Mang's Young lord. There was only Zhang Liao in the audience. After all, Zhang Liao was Lu Bu's minister, and Liu Mang was just Lu Bu's son-in-law. Although he still obeyed Liu Mang's orders, his title did not change.

"Young lord! Where did the ordnance weapons of these 300,000 troops come from!" Since we want to expand the army, we naturally need ordnance weapons. We can't let these soldiers go to the battlefield empty-handed.

These soldiers and horses really don’t need weapons! “Weapons and weapons are available everywhere outside the city!” Liu Mang answered Zhang Liao’s questions casually. Zhang Liao was a little confused. Liu Mang cured them and pointed out “These 300,000 soldiers and horses do not need weapons. Give them the bark as armor and wooden sticks as weapons!”

"How can such an army go to the battlefield!" Zhang Liao frowned and said opposing. His words about Zhang Liao's position were even better than Liu Mang in Lu Bu's army, so he didn't care whether to offend or not Liu Mang said it on the spot. It would be fine if Liu Mang listened, but if he didn't listen, it would be better to have conflicts. You can transfer him to Lujiang with a letter. He stayed in Shouchun and had to train the Western Liang Iron Cavalry and he felt uncomfortable for a day. "Young lord, don't learn from that Zhao family!" Zhang Liao's words were not just to be polite, but to be provoked.

What does Zhao'er mean? Isn't it just Zhao Kuo at all? Isn't it just pointing at Liu Mang's nose and scolding Liu Mang for talking about it on paper?

"Bold! What's the matter for you to talk to your lord like this?" Xu Sheng and Huang Xu were about to stop him, but he was stopped by their respective chief generals Cheng Yu, deputy generals Wang Wei and Zhao Yun.

Although Zhao Yun was also very dissatisfied with Zhang Liao, he knew that in general, he could not move roughly in the main hall of discussion. Cheng Yu and Zhang Liao knew each other, and Wang Wei was even more a good man, no matter who was right or wrong, it would be difficult to deal with once he took action.

The state of the military generals under his command made Liu Mang a little helpless. Originally, there were only Liu Mang's sect, which was fine. Everyone was the same lord, but now there were two more factions, one was the newly joined Xiliang Iron Cavalry, that is, Ge Jun and Zhang Hu. Although these two people were newly joined, they did not speak because they were surrendered generals and there was no pigeon talking. The rest was Zhang Liao, who was the old man of Lu Bu's army, and even Liu Mang had to give him face. What he thought was to return to Lu Bu's command to command his Bingzhou wolf cavalry instead of staying in Yangzhou.

"Don't make a noise!" Liu Mang pressed his hands and pulled the tugs between the gang of martial artists. "General Wenyuan, you are right. Such soldiers are difficult to get to the battlefield, but the soldiers I want now are not directly on the battlefield!" Zhang Liao lost his temper and Liu Mang knew.

After all, half of his troops, Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, died in battle, and now he wants him to stay in Yangzhou and leave Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. As the main general, he naturally feels not good. Liu Mang gave in to him, but it does not mean that Zhang Liao could speak to him in the main hall.

So Liu Mang called himself the king in his words. This is a kind of alienation and a warning that no matter how much Zhang Liao is Lu Bu's chief general, you are just a spoof of retainers, but he is Lu Bu's son-in-law and even has the title of King of Shu. Can you, a minister, still shout at your master?

Zhang Liao stopped talking. He also knew the rank and inferiority, and Zhang Liao was also considered a loyal and righteous person. He respected Lu Bu and naturally had a little respect for Liu Mang. He was in a depressed mood before, but now he is much better.

"These 300,000 troops are not used to go to the battlefield! These troops are used as engineers and reserves! They serve as soldiers during wartime to supplement the losses of front-line troops. In addition to daily training, they also need to build various water conservancy projects, forging cities, and even maintain public security in the entire Yangzhou!" Liu Mang said to the civil and military officials below.

"These 300,000 are just my estimate. Anyone who is of the right age needs to enter the reserve service, and select the best and record 300,000! The extra three-line organization!" Liu Mang could not directly expand the army of hundreds of thousands. Once these hundreds of thousands are out, they have no effect except to drag their backs. Moreover, the entire Yangzhou is in a mess and needs manpower. How could Liu Mang be able to be in a military state?

But now, for the sake of Shouchun's stability, Liu Mang must organize these things and use them to rebuild the entire Yangzhou system.

If it is a reserve force, it is also an engineering soldier, so these Yangzhou civil and military officials settled down a little. At this time, Jia Xu finally said, "Lord, it is good for lord to farm, and the reserve force can ensure that our army's troops are continuous!" Liu Mang's strategy for farming can not only allow the people to have something to do but also coordinate and plan. There is also a good thing that is to replenish soldiers quickly. Some troops were destroyed, and the replenished soldiers were all children of peasants. They worked in the fields all their lives, and they would take a long time to train. This kind of reserve force is different. Although they are also new recruits, they have been trained at least in this way, so the time for the damaged front-line troops to recover their combat power will be accelerated.

"But lord!" Jia Xu grasped one of the shortcomings of Liu Mang's plan, that is, "The lord's plan to station troops also requires troops to be stationed, but if these people are unwilling to teach their descendants to enter the reserve service! "A good man is not a soldier and does not make nails. This has become a law. In ancient times, there were only two types of people who entered the army. The first type was from a military family. If this kind of people wanted to achieve fame and fortune, they could only be in the army, and the other was the people who could not survive! These people could not live at home and did not have enough food in their homes. They were just a young man and had to eat. That is to say, people's appetite increased when they were young. Such people could not eat enough, and they could only enter the army for survival. Although the army would die, they could eat enough at least!

Now the people in the city have food and grass provided by Liu Mang. In addition to Liu Mang's household registration system, everyone has land. As long as they survive this time, they will naturally have enough food and clothing. Who would foolishly send their children to the army? In war, it would be a death.

Liu Mang frowned. This was really a problem: "Now Shouchun's food and grass are planned in a unified manner. If someone refuses to join the army, there is no need to distribute his food!" Liu Mang said to his civil and military officials. He doesn't want to raise people who eat and drink for free. If someone doesn't join the army, then he will starve to death.

"Lord, no!" As soon as Liu Mang finished speaking, Xu Shu stood up and opposed it, cutting off the food of the people. Liu Mang could think of it. What was they originally coming to Shouchun for? It wasn't it just for the land of Shouchun? It was also for more life. Before, Xu Shu reduced the food distribution because Zhao Yun made a private decision and almost turned Shouchun into a mutiny. If Liu Mang came out again, he would die in a war and not get food. Once these people were the people, they would die if they could not get food.

If it changes, then Liu Bei and Sun Ce on the side might be laughing to death! Because they attacked Yangzhou, were they letting the people go to mutiny? What's more, there are more than 200,000 Shanyue people among the millions of people. These Shanyue people were originally very disgusted with joining the army. They believed that this was the Han people who deliberately wanted them to die. These Shanyue was a big problem for Sun Ce. If Shanyue could be allowed to join the army, Sun Ce would have done it long ago, so it would not be until now.

"Wouldn't that be done?" Liu Mang was a little angry. Raising millions of people for nothing was not Liu Mang's style. Moreover, Liu Mang's reserve system was intended to prepare for the future dominance of the world. He occupied a small territory, only Yangzhou, and in the north, Lao Cao was about to unify Hebei. Jiangdong and Jingzhou on the Yangtze River in the south were much richer than his Liu Mang's army and had a much stronger foundation. He did not have the natural danger of the Yangtze River to block the enemy. The entire Yangzhou was a flat horse, and he was bound by Xuzhou and Yanzhou. Once Cao Cao took action, the first one was unlucky.

Liu Mang's Yangzhou is much worse than these old princes in all aspects, but Liu Mang's Yangzhou has something that none of these princes does not have, that is, the young gentry! Without the intertwined relationship, the entire Shouchun in Yangzhou is just one million people! Originally, the gentry families in Shouchun either moved to Jiangdong or were destroyed, so Shouchun is a land without a border, extremely clean. Even Lujiang County has gentry, but large clans like the Zhou family were slaughtered by Liu Mang with a butcher knife. It can be said that Yangzhou can be regarded as being allowed to do things by Liu Mang.

Originally, he thought that without these complex interest relations, he could have more understanding of policies, but who knew that there was still the threshold for the people.

All the civil and military officials below stopped talking. Is this a big thing about the Minyi thing? Is it a big thing? Is it a magistrate of the Qing Dynasty for ten years? It has been an official since ancient times, so I don’t care about the civil righteousness? I say that the Minyi thing is small. Once it becomes big, for example, if Liu Mang really threatens with cutting off food, the possible ending is that the officials force the people to rebel, and the entire Shouchun Yangzhou is in turmoil. Then the conscript and Yangzhou used by Liu Mang will be completed, and he may even have to take over the elite of his command. Let Liu Bei come to pick peaches. Although Liu Bei is now cowardly and beaten by Lu Bu’s army, Liu Mang believes that once the Yangzhou riots, Liu Bei will definitely come from the east.

"Yuan Zhiziyang, is there nothing I can do?" Xu Shu and Liu Ye were also in deep thought. The conscription was really difficult. If they were strong, the people might mutiny. Even if they didn't mutiny, would you dare to use such unwilling soldiers? Don't end up stabbing you by the sword. Don't be strong. Why do people fight with you if they have land and food supply? So since ancient times, the Han people have been a docile nation. As long as they are not on the dead end, they will never rise up to resist. They will adapt to bad situations instead of changing bad situations. This is why the Han people can be invaded by foreign tribes again and again but can stand firm.

Xu Shu and Liu Ye were both in deep thought. The people behind him had no good plans. Only Jia Xu was calm and composed. His little eyes narrowed, as if he was pretending to sleep.

"Jia Xu!" Liu Mang still forgot this old fox! This old fox has served as a lot of official positions over the years, so he must have more experience in the people than the two young people, Xu Shu and Liu Ye.

"Mr. Wenhe's military and political affairs, but he has closed his eyes and rested. Mr. must be clear. I don't know if there is any good way to teach me!" Liu Mang looked at Jia Xu with flickering eyes. You must know that this question was raised by Jia Xu, and Jia Xu could see at a glance that the most difficult thing in recruiting troops is not military food or military weapons, but the hearts of the people. If everyone is unwilling to join the army, you can do this. If Jia Xu has a way, then Liu Mang can naturally implement the strategy of farming. If not, when Jia Xu's military affairs, he will close his eyes and rest his mind as despising the master. Liu Mang will definitely deal with this old fox. He can still close his eyes and rest his mind. This is ridiculing this military strategy! Liu Mang is unhappy, so he will naturally not make the old fox feel comfortable.

"Uh!" Jia Xu is a completely shot while lying down. He didn't want to intervene in this military and political situation. After all, he just joined Liu Mang's army. No matter whether it is right or wrong, it will offend people. If it is right, it will inevitably give people a feeling of stealing the limelight. Especially when Xu Shu and Liu Ye and others are there, you say that neither of them has come up with. What is the matter when you said Jia Xu? Is it considered a provocation? Your Jia Xu's ability is stronger than us? If you say it wrong, you can't help but be ridiculed. He Jia Xu naturally needs to be rich and prosperous after he has been guaranteed for his life. You say that this first military strategy is right or wrong, so it's better not to say a word.

But Jia Xu seemed to escape from the past, but Liu Mang didn't let him go! Jia Xu shook his head with a wry smile in his heart. He had to stand up and never answered that his new lord's character could really punish him. This lord never played according to common sense.

After being forced, Jia Xu had no choice but to stand up. Sure enough, Jia Xu did not disappoint Liu Mang. "Lord, the lord's plan to station troops is feasible, but forcing the people is not advisable!"

After hearing Jia Xu's first sentence, Liu Mang turned his eyes white. Some of the people present were fools, wouldn't they know? Isn't this just nonsense?

"Forcing the people can force the people to rebel, so why does our army need to force the people to rebel!" Jia Xu said another nonsense. If he did not force the people, the people would willingly send their sons and husbands to join the army!

"The people are not afraid of death, so why do they fear it if they die?" This statement comes from Chapter 71 of Lao Tzu, which means that the people are not afraid of death, so why should they use death to force the people? Liu Mang forced the people directly to force the people to death. The people will naturally rise up to resist for the sake of their lives, anyway, they will die, right?

What do Jia Xu mean by these words? Are you criticizing Liu Mang's fault? Do you want to mock Liu Mang? If that is the case, Jia Xu's goal has been achieved. Just when Liu Mang was a little angry, Jia Xu continued to say, "But Tai Shigong also said that Tai Shigong said that the world is bustling for profit and goes all the bustling for profit! Whether it is the people or the gentry living in troubled times, it is just a struggle for profit. If the lord wants the people to join the army actively, he only needs to give the people benefits!"
Chapter completed!
