Chapter 324 Jizhou Strategy
Zhubo Zhao had different opinions: "Reducing the land rent and distributing agricultural tools are all OK, but seeds are not. Now we still have effective jurisdiction here, and once the seeds are distributed, it may be difficult to control it. To win over tenants with more influence, ordinary tenants will surrender. As for some hard-working people, we must not be polite."
Lu Su thought for a while: "It's better to come and open a warehouse and release grain. After a rough look at the granary in Jizhou, it was piled up like a mountain. Three years of old grains have grown rice and insects. Instead of letting the insects eat it, it's better to open a warehouse and release grain to help the poor people."
Lu Bu deeply agreed that the Xuzhou army wanted the territory of Jizhou, and it was not just a matter of fighting. If we wanted to develop in the long term, the people's hearts were the first step, and social stability and cohesion were the foundation. Yuan Shao was deeply rooted in Jizhou and was in a hurry.
"Zi Jing's words are reasonable, so let's arrange some of them. However, our main task is to strictly guard against the enemies around us."
Lu Bu followed the advice and agreed to Lu Su's suggestion of releasing food.
After negotiation, there were three types of people who received the food. The first was Yuan Shao's army, who was now recruited and surrendered to Lu Bu's army and the dead Yuan Shao's army. Each person received 500 kilograms of grain and distributed it to his family. If the soldiers who died did not have the food from their families, they would save it. The second was that the houses were burned due to the war, and the homeless people received 300 kilograms of grain per household. The third was that poor households received 200 kilograms of grain per household.
In addition, it is to recruit people and start construction and dig rivers.
Jizhou is an endless plain with flat and fertile land everywhere. The road looks relatively flat, but only when you walk on an iron horse can you know how bumpy it is. Riding a little faster can make your intestines come out.
Dozens of large stone mills worth hundreds of kilograms were manufactured to process and transform the road. Loess, sand and lime were mixed in proportion and then tamped and firmed, and finally flattened with the mill.
Roads are just for easy access, but rivers are related to the lives of the people.
Most of the rivers in the plains are shallow, and the embankments on both sides of the shore are simple. There is no problem in normal years. Once heavy rainstorms occur, the water will flood Jinshan, which often floods the villages and countless people die.
However, repairing rivers in the Central Plains is a very difficult task. Stone alone is very troublesome, and it has to be transported from one or two hundred miles or even further away. The people of Jizhou were shocked to see lightweight cars on a large scale. There are such exquisite wheels in the world.
Fortunately, the road construction does not have much technical content, but it is the most labor-intensive. The surrounding area of Jizhou is densely populated, so the strategy of picking one out of five Dings is adopted. In addition, there is no food and drink at home. No matter men, women, young and old, as long as you go to the construction site to work, you will be given some food and drink.
A total of 200,000 yuan was drawn, and a huge project was started.
The large families in Jizhou are still very supportive, and every family pays for money and supplies because they are the biggest beneficiaries.
At the beginning, the strong men still had some complaints, after all, no one was willing to work.
But soon everyone discovered that the food on the construction site was so good.
Usually, people usually eat two meals a day, but they don’t eat after lunch.
But the construction site is not the case, with rice porridge and pickles for breakfast, sorghum rice with hot sauce at noon, and a meal comes before work in the evening, and dinner is full. It is a cornmeal steamed bun that everyone has never eaten before. It is golden, sweet and delicious.
Although Yuan Shao is still diligent in his work and loves the people, due to his backward productivity, the people of Jizhou still have a luxury to be able to eat enough.
And there are no supervisors who hold whips, only the officials in each village and the pavilion chiefs are responsible for supervising, so they are not so tired when working.
During this period, there were also opera troupes touring back and forth, performing some jokes and dramas. At the same time, they told everyone that they were building roads and rivers for whom?
After teaching, everyone realized that the road was built for everyone. Caravans only used horse-drawn carriages when the road was ready. Caravans could pass through the caravans.
After the food is released, the society will be more stable, and at least there will be no large number of people starving to death after the war.
At this time, Zhuge Liang's role was still played out, and the battle was very tragic.
More than 1,800 people were killed in the Xuzhou army. These people were not to be said, they were their own brothers. Nowadays, they were concerned about returning to their roots, so Lu Bu spent a lot of effort to transport these people back to Xuzhou for burial.
However, more than 5,000 Yuan Shao's army was killed, and the local family members claimed it and asked the family members to take it home for burial. However, in the years of chaos, most of them were not claimed.
Zhuge Liang arranged for a cemetery to be buried. Kong Ming was wearing a Taoist robe and holding Buddha dust in his hand to save sentient beings. He also found hundreds of soldiers to play the role of Taoist children.
This look is fairy-like and looks very beautiful.
Lu Bu went to worship in person, which was the only way to settle the dead Yuan Shaojun.
Xu Shitou was quite strange and asked, "Lord, can you really be saved if you die?"
Lu Bu shook his head: "Kong Ming's move is intended to resolve hatred. Whether it is Xuzhou or Jizhou, they are all states of the Han Dynasty. They are always a family fighting. People will never make enemies. Settling down for the living."
Xu Shitou thought something
On the way back to the city, thousands of people knelt on both sides of the road.
Lu Bu was puzzled and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Mr. Wen is very wise. We are here to thank Mar. Wen for burying these dead soldiers. These people are all children of Jizhou."
"This is what I should have done. Let's go home, it's cold."
Just when Lu Bu was busy in Jizhou, Gao Shun led more than 10,000 troops to Changshan County.
Zhao Yun and Zhao Xin went out to welcome him. Although they were both the main generals, Gao Shun's status was much higher than that of Zhao Yun, who was promoted by the emerging ones.
Zhao Yunduan sat on the horse and watched from a distance. Just now, Gao Shun's former army came to report and said that the brigade of troops was still twenty miles away.
Zhao Xin smiled and said, "Are the general curious about iron horses? He travels 15 to 200 miles a day, which is more powerful than cavalry."
Zhao Yun nodded: "It is said that it can continue, and it has been like this for several consecutive days. This is really amazing. I also heard that General Gao is strictly prohibited from governing the army and does not drink alcohol. He is a very capable general."
As we were chatting, black shadows appeared on the horizon. At first, there were only a few black shadows, followed by the black shadows and formed a straight line. The first one was a team of cavalrymen. They were wearing several flags, first the flag of the Xuzhou Army, then Gao Shun's tooth flag, and the flag of the deputy general who led the team.
When contacting the horn, sending messages to the horse, and meeting your own family must be careful to avoid the enemy pretending to be.
Like Zhao Yun's cavalry, they also rode short Hun horses, one man and two horses.
Looking back, it was an iron horse, with two big wheels, and people rode on it with their feet, but they were not as slow as the horse. Looking at the baggage and food loaded on the back seat, they could have more than 100 kilograms of food.
