In today's world of China, time passes very quickly.
Due to the blessing of world consciousness, the growth and reproduction speed of all things in the world is increased five times, and the world is changing every day. Dramatic changes are also urging people to speed up their work.
The food in the farmland outside the city is growing every day, and it is time to harvest.
Near the fields, two civil servants and a hundred guardsmen guarded the farmland, guarding against wild animals, birds and possible refugees, and ensuring the safety of farmland grain and grass.
In the farmland, rice is like waves, there are also some wheat, various vegetables...
These grains and vegetables seem to give people a strong vitality and make people feel very comfortable. The more hungry people are, they will feel this kind of happiness after seeing the food in the farmland.
"These past few days, it feels like a dream! Every day when I wake up, I worry that Sihong will still be occupied by the former Qin army!"
A civil servant looked at the farmland in front of him and sighed in a low voice.
His face was a little yellow and his body was thin. At first glance, he looked like someone who was often hungry. With a waistband hanging on his waist, he is a clerk of the Sihong Commandery Envoy, and is also the lowest official.
"Brother Li said yes!"
Another literary official next to him also said: "Although my lord is young, his literary and martial arts skills are much better than Liang Cheng's! When Liang Cheng was here, we scholars were not taken seriously at all, and it was difficult for us to have enough to eat!"
"Liang Cheng only paid attention to soldiers and horses, but did not pay attention to the people and civil affairs. Sihong seems to be strong, but in fact it is very fragile. It has hundreds of thousands of people sitting in vain, but it is unable to exert the power of these people!"
The civil servant surnamed Li deeply believed this.
yes! A population of hundreds of thousands is quite a lot.
They are all scholars and know the importance of population and people. If the power of hundreds of thousands of people is fully utilized.
Cultivate 100,000 acres of fields around Sihong, and each round can harvest more than 100,000 shi of grain.
With a large amount of food, you can be kind to the people and win their hearts. With the sincere support of hundreds of thousands of people, no matter which direction we expand, we can get twice the result with half the effort.
As a result, Liang Cheng wasted his advantage. He knew how to cultivate farmland to store grain and grass, but he did not pay much attention to civil affairs and only focused on sending troops to annihilate the large and small forces in the territory.
Boom!
At this time, the gate of Sihong City had been opened, and dozens of cavalrymen surrounded a few people out of the city, running towards the military camp outside the city.
The two civil servants heard the sound and looked immediately.
"It's my lord and Mr. Bu Zhi and Chen Yi!"
The two clerks recognized each other's identity. It doesn’t matter whether the other party sees it or not. They quickly saluted in the direction of the cavalry.
The breeze blows on my face. The sky is filled with white clouds and the weather is fine.
The air in the New World is extremely fresh, and the fragrance of the vegetation outside the city blends into the breeze, making people feel relaxed and happy.
At this time, Sihong City has been lifted from the blockade, and people in the city can use the roads to get in and out.
After registration, there were 147,367 people in the city. If calculated by households, there should be close to 50,000 households. Many of the households here are small households with one man and one woman.
There are only a few large households with more than a dozen people in a family of three generations.
After re-registration, they were no longer hard laborers of the former Qin army.
All you need to do is follow the orders of the chief of security and do some work in the farmland or in the city for half a day. This is much easier than before.
With free time, naturally some people want to go out of the city to see it.
They immediately hid on the sides after seeing dozens of cavalry. The fear of the army soldiers still remained in his eyes. It will take some time for the people in the city to settle down.
"There are too many people in the city! So many people gather in the city, wasting the fields outside the city!"
Wang Jing looked away from the surroundings, slowed down his horse, and said with emotion.
Shen Yi said: "What the Lord said is absolutely true. Sihong City accommodates hundreds of thousands of people, which is too crowded, and so many people rely on the 10,000 acres of farmland outside the city to survive... Liang Cheng's vision is too shallow and he did not consider Sihong City. Hong Dang should run the business well!"
If Wang Jing and the others were the original Liang Cheng.
They will definitely disperse the people in the city to the surrounding areas, build villages and towns, and cultivate farmland around the villages and towns.
Whether it is a military settlement or a civilian settlement, the land around Sihong can be developed.
Unfortunately.
Liang Cheng had no such idea. The officials and scholars who took refuge in the former Qin Dynasty either were too humble to speak, or because they did not want to sincerely work for Liang Cheng, so no one took the initiative to make suggestions to him.
For more than half a year, Sihong looked like a city, but in fact it was no different from a military camp.
Surrounded by cavalry, the three of them followed the opened dirt road and gradually approached the military camp used to train new recruits.
On the way, the three of them kept discussing.
After the annexation of Sihong, which had hundreds of thousands of people, Donghu's original establishment and official levels were no longer suitable, and there was an urgent need for additional adjustments.
In the process of discussing with the two people around me, a new system was gradually formed.
"There are about 170,000 soldiers under our army. We don't need to mention food, grass and weapons for the moment. The most important thing right now is the army! The East Lake Army originally had 4,000 combat soldiers and 2,500 guard soldiers, a total of 6,500 people!"
"If we add the two thousand prisoners recruited, the hundreds recruited by Mr. Bu and Si Xingfang, and the five thousand newly recruited soldiers, we also include the three thousand soldiers and horses in the former Qin Shui Village."
"My lord, you have seventeen thousand soldiers and horses now!"
Shen Yi calculated.
After doing this calculation, he suddenly felt a little emotional in his heart.
What is the concept of 17,000 soldiers and horses? Not long ago, the entire East Lake Army only had more than 10,000 soldiers.
The number of troops is less than three thousand.
In just a short time, the lord Wang Jing led his elite troops to defeat powerful enemies one after another, and even captured a city. If the original East Lake Army was just a small force, it seemed like an inferior force.
Now, use the former Qin and Liang Cheng as a stepping stone.
In the eyes of everyone, Wang Jing became a prince fighting for hegemony.
"Not just 17,000, there are more than 14,000 former Qin soldiers still in the military camp in the city, and Li Kaifang's 3,000 troops... If the general can annex these two troops, there will be 34,000 troops! "
Bu Zhao on the side added.
Wang Jing waved his hand and said: "Soldiers should be elite rather than numerous. No matter how many soldiers there are, if there are no qualified generals and rigorous training, they will be just a mob!"
"We seem to have more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, but right now there are only two or three thousand who can fight in battle! The others have not returned home yet, so they cannot be counted as our soldiers and horses!"
Bu Zhi smiled and said: "With the general's ability, it is only a matter of time before the former Qin soldiers and Taiping troops are recruited!"
Wang Jing immediately smiled after hearing this.
After getting acquainted with Bu Zha, Wang Jing found that he was different from the cold records in history books. He was a living person with his own emotions and desires.
Bu Zhi has a relatively modest personality, and his tone is also very tactful when giving suggestions.
He can be called a humble gentleman.
In other words, Bu Zhi's IQ and EQ are very high. No matter what you say, you won't be offended.
