Of course it’s uneasy!

There are more than 60 prefectures and counties in these three prefectures and two prefectures, and each of them is not allowed to be guarded by a thousand people.

Even when playing games, there must be at least two hundred people guarding it, and in some states there are thousands.

That shouldn't be more than 40,000 people.

The hundreds of forts in the north need to be guarded by 20,000 people.

At least one army in the south should be guarding the Ming Dynasty.

There is one army in the west, one army in the east, one army in the capital, and one army in reserve.

No matter how Han Xi calculated it, it would take at least 300,000 troops to secure it safely.

But now the actual military strength is only half, which makes Han Xi feel very insecure.

Unfortunately, when Han Xi asked the two military advisors about a room, they both said that he would decide after the autumn harvest.

With this large territory, Han Xi felt that his abilities were limited. In the peaceful years of the Ming Dynasty, he would only be as talented as a county magistrate, so his main focus was to listen to advice.

Han Xi would always ask the two military advisors if he had any strategies. As long as the military advisors thought there was no problem, there would definitely be no big problem. But this time, he was prepared to ask.

"Your Majesty, most of the capital's food is transported from the south. Now the land is severely abandoned, so it is not advisable to recruit too many soldiers and take risks." Military Advisor Xun persuaded again.

Seeing that what Military Advisor Xun said was no different from last time, Han Xi smiled lightly and said: "Hey, this time I don't want to form a road army. Isn't it because the ice in the Bohai Sea has begun to melt? I am afraid that the Ming army will support Shanhaiguan from the sea. , so I want to form a navy."

"This navy can not only patrol the sea, but also patrol the river. It can also fish on weekdays."

Hearing what Han Xi said, Military Advisor Xun thought for a moment, then bowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise, but my subordinates are not thinking carefully."

It’s done.

Han Xi continued with a smile: "Hey! What's the matter? You two deal with a lot of official matters and have to answer my questions every day. It is inevitable that you will have something to think about. Let's do this! You guys can see if you are suitable in the capital. People, call ten of them to be your assistants!"

"You should also discuss the number of naval troops."

"As you command, Your Majesty." The two military advisors stood up and bowed.

In fact, Han Xi could summon assistants from the system to the two strategists, but this would feel like blocking the ascending passage for the people below.

Therefore, Han Xi only recruited farmers to upgrade his positions in some key positions.

As for other positions that are not very important, put them out if you can.

soon.

In this way, the morning's time spent dealing with government affairs has passed.

Han Xi usually deals with government affairs in the morning, goes for walks around the city in the afternoon, and has fun in the evening!

Life is very regular.

After lunch, Han Xi led more than 300 people out of the palace.

These days, Han Xi encountered a lot of assassinations. He also suffered several injuries.

The worst time I played with a woman was when I was almost killed.

But now Han Xi also discovered that as long as there is still breath, the imperial military doctor can breastfeed him, just like a game.

Ever since he learned about this ability, Han Xi often went out of the city to find inspiration for governance.

After leaving the imperial city, the three hundred people were reduced to pieces, with only four people protecting them.

Just after leaving the city gate, Han Xi saw some palace maids carrying some cloth and some vendors trading things outside the side gate city wall.

Most of the palace maids exchanged some rouge, flower ropes, and some steamed buns and the like.

There were so many palace maids in the imperial city that Han Xi gathered them to weave cotton.

The palace ladies could receive a piece of cotton cloth every month.

Once Han Xi saw a vendor sneaking into the imperial city to sell steamed buns.

Seeing this, Han Xi designated a trading area in a small area of ​​​​Pianmen, and sent soldiers to guard it every time.

As for why these palace maids were not allowed to leave?

The entire palace is so big, it needs a group of people to take care of it. No one takes care of it. Within a year, the palace is full of dust and full of ghosts.

After leaving the Imperial City and going to Fangshi, there were not many people on the streets.

During this time I was working in the workshop.

At this time, there were probably more than 500,000 people in the capital.

Some fled south, and some farmers who came to the city later were arranged to cultivate land in other prefectures and counties.

Of the 500,000 people, 150,000 are still working in the workshops.

There are fifty workshops that make clothes by hand, involving fifty thousand people.

After all, the imperial soldiers who came out were all wearing the same clothes, so how could this be done?

At least every imperial soldier should be equipped with two sets of summer clothes, two sets of autumn clothes, and two sets of winter clothes. And those detectives.

In this way, that is nearly 1.2 million sets of clothes.

It takes three to five days to make a set of clothes by hand. Because not every woman is a skilled seamstress, it is normal to be slow.

After production, one person can probably make one set every three days, or ten sets per month.

After a few months, more than two million sets of clothes were sewn, which was enough. After another month of production, Han Xi plans to abolish forty of these workshops and retain only ten.

The iron workshop does not produce weapons, but makes farm tools and helps Han Xi refine silver ore and iron ore.

In one month, Han Xi could get 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 jins of iron ingots.

The mines are all purchased within the system. Excluding the cost of purchasing the mines, 50,000 silver can be credited to the account in a month, plus the 16,000 taels that Han Xi earns from daily exercise.

You can also get 530,000 empire coins in one month.

By the end of April, there were more than two million imperial coins.

At this time, Han Xi's system had a total of 37 million empire coins. Seeing so many empire coins, he always wanted to summon some soldiers.

"The store is for rent, price is negotiable."

There was a group of people standing in front of a wooden fence, and Han Xi also came up to watch and listen to what these people were saying.

After the officials, nobles, and eunuchs in the city were purged, thousands of shops in the city were vacant, so Han Xi had people put up notices for rent.

Although there are four markets opened by Han Xi in the city, all kinds of basic daily necessities are available in them.

However, ten Chuufang cities serve more than 500,000 people, and one Chuufang city serves 50,000 people.

For this reason, those markets are crowded with people every day.

"Hey! You said that when the army comes back, will this store be taken back?"

"Keep your voice down, didn't you see that you can rent it for a short period of time? You're afraid it's fine just for a short period of time."

"Haha! Now all the craftsmen in the city's workshops are rich, so they can definitely make money by opening a shop."

Everyone was talking quietly.

At this time, the merchants in the city were waiting and watching. After all, it was leased. What would happen if the officers and soldiers came back and were regarded as rebels?

After looking at it for a while, Han Xi shook his head and left. They are all a group of people who have no vision. If they don't get it now, it will be difficult to get it when he conquers the entire Hebei.

Later, Han Xi went to the city where construction was under way. He saw people everywhere at first glance, and vehicles of all sizes were crowded on the paths.

If you don't have any strength, you may not be able to squeeze in.

Han Xi was also surprised and didn't understand why there were so many people every day.

There are about a hundred shops in a market.

It has been a few months since I bought it. Except for the time when the capital city gate was opened, there were fewer people, but within a few days, the number of people doubled.

"Hey! Looking at you like this, you seem to be from other places, right?"
