Chapter 3 Chicken Fighting Caused by Dirty Uneportion
"Zhou Mu Miao Zan, my subordinates are just throwing bricks to attract jade, just express what they have seen. Yuan Hao and Gong Da are all heroes in the world. There must be ravines in their hearts. If there are any shortcomings, you can add more advice. Guo Jia smiled, but his eyes were cunning. In an understatement, he casually threw a big hat on their heads, which made Tian Feng and Xun Da a little embarrassed for a while. Saying what you think is almost equivalent to agreeing with Guo Jia's unrighteous move to let He Chen cross the county; if you don't say anything, it will show that you have no opinion.
He Chen praised in his heart, and even introduced Guo Jia as a knowledge in his heart, which almost said what he could only think about for the time being but did not dare to say. It is said that Guo Jia's surname is different from that of ordinary people. Today, I have a deep understanding of it. No wonder he was impeached by Chen Qun at that time, but this guy is still self-righteous and independent, because it is covered by Cao Qian, the great god. Do all celebrities have surnames? Grandma, Brother Guo, there is no Cao to cover you now, and Uncle He is desperate to support you. However, He Chen didn't want to make the other two counselors unhappy because of Guo Jia's words. He always had to give a buffer time for everything. Since Guo Jia has broken this layer of paper, they will definitely think about it in the next day.
"Haha, Feng filial piety is a little far away. At present, it's better to pay attention to the eight counties of Jingzhou first. As for the future, no one may be there." He Chen blinked his eyes, vaguely mentioned it, and then laughed out loud.
Guo Jia also had a beautiful heart. She suddenly understood He Chen's consent. Obviously, He Chen didn't want Tian Feng and Xun You to step down for a while. He nodded secretly, looked up at He Chen, and agreed, "What Zhou Mu said."
"Xiangyang got its name because it is located in the sun of Xiangshui. Located at the junction of Nanyang and Nanjun, several mountains, Qinling, Tongbai Mountain and Dabie Mountain are across the middle, blocking the north-south traffic, leaving only a small passage. Even if the brave soldiers and horses want to go south, they must first open this joint; there is also a Han River flowing from the northwest to the southeast, passing through the middle, more It adds the geographical advantage of Xiangyang.
Listening to Guo Jia's detailed analysis, He Chen couldn't help nodding and said, "In the words of the world, its shape is in Xiangyang; in the southeast, it is in Jiangxia; in the words of the lake, it is in Jingzhou. Since ancient times, there has been a saying of iron Xiangyang and Fancheng made of water. On the one hand, Xiangyang City has a dangerous natural barrier, and on the other hand, it has a city with a tight layout and compact structure, coupled with strict guarding facilities, which has been easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times.
"Xiangyang made of iron, Fancheng made of water? Lord Zhou Mu's words make a lot of sense. Xiangyang City is on the south bank of the Han River, and the Han River is used as the moat in the north of the city. The city is high and deep, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Fancheng is on the north bank of the Han River. Whenever the enemy soldiers go south to attack the city, there is no danger of land and it is not easy to defend. This metaphor is extremely vivid. Tian Feng listened to the two of them talking about it, and his heart was also a little itchy. Finally, he couldn't help interrupting and admiring.
He Chen was ashamed again. Xiangyang City was fine. At least it had developed, but Fancheng was very different. This was the saying that Guan Yu began to circulate after flooded the seven armies.
"That's right. Lord Zhou Mu was really prepared, otherwise he wouldn't have known so thoroughly. There are more than ten thousand peaks in the southwest of Xiangyang City, including Zhenwu Mountain, Fenghuang Mountain, Xianshan Mountain and other magnificent mountains, which constitute the outer natural barrier of Xiangyang City, while the north and east of the city are surrounded by turging Han water. Whether it is walking, horse riding or boating, the barrier formed by these natural geographical conditions is difficult to overcome. Therefore, Lord Zhou Mu is not allowed to march forward, but to persuade him to surrender first.
"Persuasion to surrender?" He Chen meditated a little, and a person suddenly came to his mind. He was Deng Zhi.
"The words of filial piety make sense. Thousands of miles of officials are only for money. Why do Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng gather tigers to live in Xiangyang? Nothing but power and wealth. As long as you know it with emotion and induce profit, it is estimated that it is not very difficult. Once back to the point, Xun You also put aside the gloomy expression just now and began to make a plan.
"It's so just right. There is already a suitable candidate." He Chen breathed out and said with a smile on his face.
"I don't know who the state herdsman is?"
At this time, Guo Jia and the other three were a little surprised. For a moment, they couldn't think of any lobbyor who could make He Chen say such a word.
"This person is Deng Zhi after Deng Yu." He Chen did not hide it, and generously confessed Deng Zhi.
"It turned out to be this person. Although Deng Zhi is a little eager, he has sharp teeth, clear thinking, flexible mind and quick wit. He is indeed a good candidate. The state herdsman's vision is really first-class. Xun You couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise.
He Chen accepted all the praises about Xun You, and everyone talked about the situation again.
At this time, Tian Feng said, "Jourman, yesterday, the lower official sent people to count the supplies overnight. Now there are general statistics. Have you taken a look at it?" There is also how to settle the exiled people, and wait for the distribution of state herdsmen.
Before He Chen could speak, Guo Jia stood up and said, "Since Zhou Mu still has something important to discuss with his two colleagues, he will leave first."
"slow." He Chen stretched out his hand to stop Guo Jia, who was ready to turn away. Whether the other party was sincere or wanted to test himself, he must not let him leave at this time, otherwise the hard-won good impression may have a pimple and leave a little crack in his heart. He Chen smiled and said, "Fengxiao is no longer an outsider now, and there is nothing to hide from you. You don't need to deliberately avoid leaving."
Guo Jia looked a little hesitant and said excitedly, "Xie Zhoumu."
He Chen was interested in Tian Feng's forehead and said, "Let's talk about the situation of the people first."
Speaking of this topic, Tian Fengxian said sadly: "In just a few tens of days, our sergeant has received more than 70,000 to 80,000 people, and this number is still increasing. In view of the limited capacity of Luyuanguan, most people can only be arranged to walk in Nanyang. On the way, there are many temporary stations to help. Maintenance. . Due to the large quantity, the supply of food in our army will be tight in less than half a year, which will be a thorny problem at that time.
"There are so many people?" He Chen was shocked. Shit, 70,000 to 80,000 mouths. If I have money, I will be poor sooner or later.
"Tian Feng and Xun You, you two must come up with a draft in the shortest time. Benzhou Mu has worked hard to rob so many people, and you must find a way to settle them. Whether it's letting them find a job in the city or reclaiming wasteland or something, we must come up with the most specific and feasible way. He Chen said categorically, and his words were rapid and powerful, showing his firm determination.
"I understand." The two answered at the same time.
Tian Feng said again, "Here is the general account book checked yesterday. Please have a look at it."
"Take your time to read the account book when you are free. You can report the approximate number now." He Chen waved his hand.
Xiao Yi Tian Feng is mature and steady, and knowledgeable, but when it comes to this batch of property, he immediately put aside the look of depression just now and said with some excitement: "Because of the overnight count, it can only be roughly classified. It is not clear how much property there is. However, it is estimated that the state animal husbandry harvest this time is very large, including more than 30,000 taels of gold, more than 100,000 strings of money, thousands of silk and satin, and a hundred pieces of jade, among which pearls, jade and jade agate are not counted. The total value is estimated, and it is estimated that the tax revenue of Shangnanyang County is more than three years.
The three people present were shocked by this huge wealth and were stunned.
Although He Chen smiled, the stiff muscles on his face and the acupuncture points from time to time showed the great joy in his heart. It's the same thing. These two people are very happy. How many armor can be made, how many weapons can be made, how many schools can be opened, and how many people can be organized to open canals to cultivate fields. How long the fuck do I have to count this? Will I collapse my bed when I count it?
said, I also have a day when I count money to cramps in my hands.
Compared with He Chen's silver is infinite, Xun You is much more down-to-earth. While breaking his fingers, he calculates: "Now Wancheng is a number of counties in the world. Although the city is high and thick, due to the continuous war in the past few years, there have been many cracks. In the past, it was just a simple reinforcement. Now with this huge amount of money, it can be changed from new. Repair it and completely build a strong city; and..."
"Cultivation of the city is secondary. This batch of property should be used on a good blade of good steel, and it should not waste money for vain things. In the eyes of my subordinates, the white water passes around Wancheng and has been in disrepair for a long time. If there is a rainy day, we are afraid of flooding. We can first organize a large number of people to dredge the river road and irrigate thousands of mu of fertile land. Tian Feng simply interrupted Xun You's long words, hurriedly threw out his thoughts, and said in a loud voice.
"Hey... Don't just think about repairing this and that. After a while, we will send troops to several counties in Guiyang. Just as we are recruiting troops to buy horses, hoarding grain and grass, and training a group of elite soldiers. Moreover, the state animal husbandry has long been regulated, and these goods can't move anything except to buy military food. After going back this time, we must first form a group of special main gun regiments, and then form a sailor army to go to the east to Wuhui, guard the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and make all preparations. Among them, I don't know how much money is used for armor, weapons, and food and salary. You don't want to think about it. At this time, He Chen saw that the two counselors were about to divide up all the pile of belongings in a few words. He couldn't help jumping straight and roaring with a thick neck.
"Training elites is not a daily skill, ranging from a year and a half to several years. Doesn't the master want to ascend to the sky in one step?" Tian Feng was also a little anxious and immediately retorted.
"It is said that Nanyang will take the front position. If the city is not strong, how can it be this great responsibility?" Xun You's tone also improved by eight degrees.
"No, let's do it first..."
It's just a moment. The three people who were originally in harmony are like a fighting rooster, looking at each other angrily and foaming.
Guo Jia, who was solidly hung in the ordinary, was stunned and couldn't make a sound for a long time.
