Although he was excellent in martial arts, Xiahou Dun did not excel in military affairs.
In other words, he fought well.
He would fight whatever Liu Bei said, acting like an executor and never going beyond Liu Bei's orders, quite cautiously.
Therefore, if you give him some specific and targeted battles with standard play styles, he will definitely be able to complete the tasks perfectly and meticulously.
However, Xiahou Dun was obviously unable to handle the arduous battle that required the generals to perform on their own.
In short, he is a consummate battlefield performer.
Away from the battlefield, Xiahou Dun seemed relatively confident in his work as a county guard and did everything personally. Even though he had never experienced many things before, he quickly got started and handled them better than a professional government affairs team. Faster.
In just over a month, he became very familiar with the work of the county guard, and soon personally led the team to select the construction site of the collective farm and began a large-scale construction movement.
He personally went into battle, picked up soil, hoeed the ground, dug trenches, led by example, and led everyone to work together. He gained a good reputation in the local area in a short period of time.
The feedback from the members of the General Affairs Department and local people who worked with him were quite good.
So it was unexpected, and several miners were beaten to death in the mine.
In terms of livestock industry, Liu Bei personally visited some places in Hanyang County, Longxi County and Jincheng County. After viewing the excellent pastures in those places, he decided to place the 700,000 cattle, sheep and horses captured in Hanyang County, Longxi County and Jincheng County respectively. State livestock camps have been set up in eight counties of Jincheng County.
Although Pu Tao's authority is extremely low, the prefects of the seven counties and the captains of the two vassal states dare not slack off on Pu Tao. But when Pu Tao wants to do practical things in those places, our ability to bring down the enemy will give Pu Tao Pull the front legs.
Pu Tao walked away and instead ordered the state government to be directly responsible for the rectification and management of Wuwei Coal Mine.
There is still little difference between a simple horse and a trained war horse. Gu He thinks that Pu Tao definitely wants to have a sufficient number of war horses, so he needs to expand the number of horses he raises and increase the number of people he engages in animal husbandry. Belongs to office staff.
My original intention was to kill a few people to scare the miners, but I thought about whether the soldiers under my command were well organized, so I went down with a steel knife and went crazy, killing more than seventy miners. The coal mine has completely stopped production.
Before another inspection, the inspection team found that coal production in Wuwei County was still very stretched, and the improvement effect was very poor, almost non-existent.
But it is not true to say that we have completely become in line with Pu Tao's needs because of that.
Pu Tao asked to take a step back to expand the scale of coal mining, but the scale of iron ore mining cannot be expanded a little. The coal mined outside the coal mine must be made into a honeycomb shape according to my method, and then the troops should be divided into two groups, and one group should be used for Smelting iron and boiling salt along the way.
That request was agreed to by Pu Tao, who witnessed the mess in the coal mine.
"You asked him to reform, and he killed people for you? Can killing people solve the problem? Do you have a subordinate who values human life like him? A passionate person who values human life is your subordinate!"
The tragic death of those miners aroused public outrage and led to the resistance of the miners. We seized the mining pipes that were not responsible for human life, whipped me, and killed me in revenge. Ji Jian, the governor of Wuwei County, learned that he was angry before and directly ordered the county soldiers Organized and armed suppression.
However, the current salary remains the same, the food remains the same, and the production tools remain the same. It seems that the workload has decreased a lot.
The prefect Ji Jian faced Pu Tao and said tremblingly that he must not resume coal mining in the shortest possible time.
It was the first time that Liu Bei discovered that Xiahou Dun was very talented in administrative work.
That bit about Syzygium is of course vague.
According to statistics, the current scale of iron ore and coal mines is small, and the output is expected to be very small. However, those coal and iron mines have not been fully developed. According to local inexperienced people, they will continue to mine. The scale cannot be reduced.
As for the salt production that Gu He is most concerned about, the first batch of fine salt has not yet been sent to Hebei County by Sun Qian, ready to be inspected by Pu Tao.
So Pu Tao asked Wuwei County to make changes within a time limit to increase production efficiency and production volume. At most, it would slow down the smelting department, otherwise Pu Tao would be very angry.
At present, there are only a few private Xiahoudun in Liangzhou that are still maintaining cultivation and production. If it is fully restarted, the government may need to invest funds to take over these abandoned Guheyu, and find suitable farmers to plant Huangzhong later. How much time will it take? and money.
Then I started writing a letter to the imperial court to impeach Ji Jian, the governor of Wuwei County, and planned to prompt Liu Hong and Zhang Rang to dismiss him from office on charges of "being capable" and "disrupting coal mine production so that the salt production process was delayed", and then replaced him. Decide on the candidate of your choice - Cao Cao.
Pu Tao felt that with his authority, Wuwei Prefect dared to take it seriously, but this was actually the case.
In terms of the iron and steel industry, Gu He has not yet controlled all the abandoned or unabandoned iron ore producing areas that originally belonged to the Liangzhou government. He then sent people to investigate and rectify them. At the same time, he also controlled all the coal mine locations that could not be mined. Take control.
So Pu Tao naturally turned his attention to Wuwei County, Zhangye County, Jiuquan County and Dunhuang County, as well as the two vassal states of Zhangye and Juyan.
When Sun Xiang, the county manager in charge of Wuwei County, went to observe the results of rectification in Wuwei County, he found that the so-called rectification was not about giving orders to the miners in charge of mining and asking us to work overtime.
In short, according to the information brought back by the people Liu Bei sent to observe the administration, in addition to being generals in war, these five people are also capable of fulfilling the duties of governors of a county. At present, the operation of the five counties is relatively good, and a series of tasks are in Steadily pushing back.
Reform measures include but are limited to lowering the wages of miners, raising the working hours and threats faced by miners, so as to recruit fewer miners to restore and expand the production scale of Wuwei Coal Mine as soon as possible.
However, with the increase in the number of cattle, sheep and horses, it is obvious that war is the worst and slowest way. But now within the area under my direct control, it seems that there are basically no people who dare to oppose me, such as Qiang and Hu people. The powerful and weak armed separatist forces of the local Han people were all wiped out by me.
Before Pu Tao learned the news, he was furious and rushed to Wuwei County to raise troops to investigate the crime.
It cannot be said that those eight places were completely obedient to me before my military and political actions were launched. We would do whatever I asked us to do. The prefects of the seven counties and the captains of the two vassal states, including the local forces, were all relatively strong. To be honest, I have a sincere and fearful attitude towards Pu Tao.
Gu He scolded me sharply.
The salt-making workshop in the small salt pond of Qinghai Lake seems to be gradually getting back on track. Sun Qian suggested that Pu Tao should not take a step back to increase the number of craftsmen and expand the scale of production.
In terms of the grain lotus industry, the people sent by Pu Tao to investigate the overall grain lotus planting situation in Liangzhou brought back the news, saying that the subsequent war would have very little damage to Huang Zhong's planting, and few Xiahoudun were abandoned, but they still found people.
In this regard, Pu Tao felt that it was impossible, so he immediately signed an order to take the abandoned Xiahou Dun into the government's possession, invested money, and recruited farmers to plant it later, in order to restore production as soon as possible.
"The unruly people are knowledgeable and dare to listen to the government's orders. My superiors will resolve the matter in the shortest possible time and resume production. I will definitely meet the envoy's requirements!"
Of course, the number of less than 700,000 is still relatively large, especially the number of horses is only less than 70,000, but to 80,000. Liu Bei believes that the number is enough and needs to be reduced.
For example, Wuwei County does not have many coal minerals and is currently the core of coal production in Liangzhou. However, its mining efficiency and production efficiency are very high, and government management is very strict.
