After the suppression and purge inside and outside Youzhou City were completed, some popularity and bustle was restored with the return and resettlement of the population;
The Chinese military tent where I was sitting in the city gate building was officially moved to the more convenient and spacious Baiqu Garden in the inner city. The predecessor of this place was the Linshuo Palace in Zhuojun built by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty when he conquered Goguryeo. So it occupies a vast area and is full of gardens.
Of course, I didn¡¯t move here just for enjoyment and temporary comfort, but for the convenience of handling political affairs and issuing orders, and it also has a symbolic sense of ownership; after all, compared to the dilapidation and desolation of other places in the inner city, there are so many things here. There are ready-made large-scale functional public buildings and large halls and places used for meetings, discussions, and even celebration banquets and collective meetings.
Therefore, it is possible to move in and work without any major construction work, and by the way, many ancillary departments for subsequent management and disposal can be accommodated.
As for the strategy for dealing with the aftermath, Huai Town has already concluded a plan this morning; it is nothing more than "registering households to improve the people", clearing acres of land, regulating rivers and canals, "building roads and clearing up wasteland", etc., focusing on restoring production and self-rescue. It's just a matter of self-help, and there is a set of skilled officials trained in the Huai region to take over and promote it.
The well-established organization and management system is also a good method and is worth continuing to promote in newly occupied lands; at least until the remaining soil with resistance and resistance is gradually screened out and filtered out, most of them are restricted. The personal freedom of urban residents, and the collective labor reform and gradually bearing the unique brand of Huai Town are always a tried and tested panacea.
After all, most foreign wars and expansions throughout the ages have sought nothing more than population and land, various social resources and their derivative products; and for those who have initially achieved the foundation of primary industrialization and the self-replication cycle of the primary production system For Huai Town, this time there is no exception.
Population means more low-end labor force and potential soldier base that can be invested in industrialization, while land represents the output of resources such as food, livestock, and minerals, and the accumulation of production raw materials.
Therefore, the gains from this war should be far more than this. In addition to the population in Jicheng City under Youzhou Prefecture; they are scattered in Liangxiang, Anci, Zhuoxian, Gu'an, Yongnu, Changping, Huaizhou under Youzhou Prefecture. The population in Rong, Lu and other ten counties can be summarized as more than 200,000 (although most of them are old, weak, women and children), and it is said that when Youzhou Town was at its peak, the number of soldiers and civilians within the territory could even reach one million. mouth.
Then, based on the judgment and estimation of the household registers obtained in Youzhou City, the nine states in front of Pingludao Mountain, which have just entered the control of the Huai Army, have at least a million remaining residents, waiting for the next step in the establishment of political power at all levels. Detailed inventory and compilation after getting up;
And this does not include the unregistered people who are hidden and covered up by the names of generals and wealthy families who occupy vast fertile fields; and this part is also the private military force of family generals, tribes, private soldiers and so on inherited from their era. The main source and basis is expected to reach one-fifth to one-third of the daily registered population.
In addition, there is a relatively special population under the name of Youzhou Jiedushi and Hepinglu Dudufu. They are the households in the Yanbian military settlements and rear camp resettlement areas inherited from the Northern Dynasties. Because they have to bear the responsibilities of various These include military service and military-related transportation matters, as well as raising war horses and cattle, providing fodder, armor, leather materials, horns and other miscellaneous supplies. Therefore, this part of the population belongs to a special group that only does corvee work but no taxes. At its peak, it reached dozens of places. There are nearly 200,000 to 300,000 registered households.
In Youzhou alone, there are Luping, Zhuocheng, Dewen, Lucheng, Leshang, Qinghua, Hongyuan, Liangxiang, Kaifu, Zhenghe, Dinghe, Zhehe, Liangdu and Xianning, a total of ten Everywhere, daily management is carried out with the military government as the predecessor.
However, due to years of wars and continuous recruitment, a large number of military households lost their young labor force as the backbone of the economy. They could no longer undertake corresponding military service and went bankrupt, fled, and fled. In addition, the authority of the Northern Dynasties declined and local vassals After the town was re-established, the local generals and wealthy families secretly invaded, annexed and even plundered, and used power and economic oppression to turn the corresponding land and personal relationships into their own names; in fact, except for a few areas close to Yanbian In addition, most of the military garrison sites have been abandoned for many years, and only a few thousand households here and a few hundred households there are left in the accounts of each state, but there are only a few symbolic short positions.
However, the foundation and planning they left behind are still very good, so as long as the reclamation groups and immigrants from Huaidi make some repairs, they can immediately put it to use. In addition to the expected population, the biggest gain from Pinglu Road is the land, or in other words, the large tracts of fertile farmland located on the Yanshan Hebei Plain, known as thousands of miles of fertile land, and its supporting ready-made water conservancy facilities;
???????????????????????????????????????????????¡The total number of acres of land is nearly three million. Moreover, they are mainly highly developed cultivated land and irrigated areas. Due to the developed water conservancy due to the vertical and horizontal distribution of cross-currents, at least a quarter of them are fertile and mature upper fields; while the lower-grade sand fields and slopes with lower output value Fields, gravel fields, and stables used for raising horses and grazing livestock only account for a small proportion, and the rest are almost all relatively stable middle-field products.
It is precisely by relying on the stable and rich resources in the piedmont area that are relatively equal to floods and droughts that the many vassal towns in Pinglu Road in the past dynasties have been supported and maintained, as well as the daily needs of managing and recruiting the long-term troops stationed under the command of Andong Xingying, and A deformed system that valued military affairs over people's livelihood; and the Khitan people who emerged from the grasslands in later generations only truly completed the transition from nomadic to agricultural feudal dynasty because of the population of the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures ceded by Shi Jintang. , and became a lifelong powerful enemy and evil neighbor on the head of the "iron-blooded Song Dynasty" who claimed to be the first and the last.
Now, it will become an important part of our new militaristic system that integrates farming and war in Huai Town.
But what surprised me was that there was no movement or reaction from the Hebei side, not even a little extra tentative move; it was like they had completely accepted the reality or were cowardly, and allowed all kinds of things to happen. People and materials from the south bank of the Yellow River are also continuously transported to Pinglu Daolai through Cangzhou.
On the other hand, the garrison and several patrol water camps that asked me to stand by locally have never been able to find any opportunity or reason to use them. You must know that the flat terrain from Jizhou to Cangzhou and Dezhou is as far as the eye can see. If there are enough troops, long-term harassment, advance and destruction can be carried out.
But if the other party is so forbearing, I can only temporarily let it go without fear of expanding the scale of the war, and put all my efforts into digesting the newly acquired territory as a priority.
But, is it really that simple?
at the same time,
Far away in Pengcheng, Xuzhou, Huaibei, a spontaneous victory parade had just gone through, and it was still immersed in some kind of joyous aftertaste; even the city squares responsible for sweeping the streets and clearing away debris afterwards assigned labor teams to get to work. He is also extremely hardworking and brisk.
Because in the subsequent propaganda and indoctrination in Huai Town, the staged victory of this punishment war also means more land that can be allocated and resettled, more positions used for promotion and assignment, and larger and higher positions. The development space; broader business opportunities and soil for home ownership; almost all strata of the society that can participate can directly or indirectly benefit, or feel the related benefits and opportunities.
In the back house that has been renamed the Governor's Mansion, in a corner of the flower-filled courtyard, a petite figure is burning incense and praying devoutly.
It¡¯s just that what is placed on the incense table is a stack of unfolded screen-fan-style portraits, but they are gilt and silver and look lifelike. Accompanying the curls of the precious dipterocarp cigarettes are the sounds of pious prayers.
"I would like to send my message to you, Nagato, the great moe god,"
"This is my message to all the gods and lords of Dongfangtian Fantasy Township"
"I honor the protector of my destiny, the goddess Kaguya of Mount Dahorai."
"Changyoulangjun's martial arts are prosperous and he is always in trouble Disasters are inevitable"
"Secondly, I hope that the faithful girl will grow up in good health, be favored for a long time, and have continuous branches and leaves."
At this time, a figure of Pingting who was standing far away came over and asked for instructions.
"Master Jin, please send a message from Zuodian (Xiao Yuwen's family)."
"There are representatives of relatives from the south. I hope your Majesty will be able to meet with you."
¡°By the way, I would like to hand over some personal belongings¡±
