Chapter 306 Congratulations!

Chapter 306 Congratulations!

When the army triumphantly entered Wuwei County, Cao Cao, the governor of Wuwei County, went out of the city for fifty miles to meet the army.

When Liu Bei saw Cao Cao, he didn't show off on a tall horse like before. He jumped off the horse, patted Cao Cao on the shoulder, and was very friendly to him.

"The rest of the eunuchs are all thirty miles out of the city, why come to you but fifty miles out of the city to meet me?"

"They are them, and I am me. If I don't do this, I can't express my deep respect for the king!"

Cao Cao smiled, straightened his crown clothes, and gave a long salute.

"Cao Cao, the prefect of Wuwei County, welcomes the triumphant return of the king!"

Liu Bei nodded and reached out to support Cao Cao.

"This battle is not dangerous. I am deeply aware of the fact that the barbarians are strong from the outside and do nothing at all. It is just because the big man has internal strife and has no time to look north, so the barbarians are rampant and continue to invade the south. Given time, I will definitely send an army to the north to wipe out the grasslands. Man, seal the wolves to live in Xu, and restrict the stones, so that there will be no more worries in the northern border of the Great Han!"

"This is the great achievement of General Wei, Huo Huoqi and others!"

Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei with a look of admiration: "If Xuande can achieve such a great achievement, every family in the three prefectures of Youbingliang will definitely set up a shrine for Xuande, and Xuande will definitely be famous in history!"

"This is exactly what I'm after!"

As Liu Bei said, he took Cao Cao's hand with a smile, and immediately walked alongside him, and they entered Wuwei County to drink and have fun together to show their closeness.

During the banquet, Cao Cao was very envious of the heroic Liu Bei. Thinking of Liu Bei's lofty ambition to wipe out the barbarians in the grassland, Cao Cao couldn't help but yearn for it.

It is true that the governance of a county and a state can promote culture and education, demonstrate aspirations, make people's livelihood stable, and gain the admiration of all people, but leading troops on the battlefield, decisively winning outside the territory, and promoting the might of the Great Han in the enemy's borders, can such a goal be achieved? ?

Cao Cao couldn't help but began to think about himself as a general leading the army on the battlefield.

On the eighth day of the seventh lunar month, Liu Bei returned to Ji County smoothly. Officials from Ji County and Hanyang County followed Cao Cao's example, and under the leadership of Bie Jia Yan Zhong, they went out of the city fifty miles a day earlier to meet Liu Bei.

When meeting Liu Bei, Yan Zhong highly praised Liu Bei's achievements, and all the officials saluted Liu Bei together to show their respect.

"Welcome to the triumphant return of the emperor!"

They saluted collectively and chanted collectively. Liu Bei enjoyed such respect very much.

Liu Bei accepted it calmly, shook hands and hugged everyone, and then enjoyed barbecue with everyone, and then returned to Ji County together.

The benefits brought by this battle to the entire Liangzhou are really too great.

In less than two months, Liu Bei earned Liangzhou more than 170 million cattle, sheep and horses, a Xianbei population of about 26, as well as a huge amount of gold, silver, copper, pearls and jade, as well as countless bone products and furs. Products, these are wealth.

If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid I'm so happy that I can't even speak.

However, the Liangzhou officials trained by Liu Bei are all professional. After getting the news, under the leadership of the ecstatic Yan Zhong, everyone immediately began to discuss how to digest this huge wealth.

First of all, of course, there is a wave of rewards. Those given to soldiers, officers, and officials who carry out logistics work all need rewards. Everyone has worked hard on the logistics front for the progress of this war. According to Liu Bei's regulations, generous rewards are a matter of course. As it should be.

Rewarding money, rewarding objects, and distributing part of the captured spoils to those who participated in the war and made contributions, this is what Liu Bei has always been doing.

And after all the expenses of the reward are calculated, the remaining net income is still very large.

More than 100 million livestock can not only be used to fill the gaps in the livestock farms controlled by the state government, but the horse herd with a scale of more than 20 can also greatly increase the number of horses controlled by the Liangzhou state government.

In this regard, Ji Jian is the happiest.

Not every horse can become a war horse, and war horses are also elite among the horse herd, so he has been worried that there will not be enough horses to breed more war horses, so that the Liangzhou army will not have enough war horses to use.

That would be his negligence.

Now I feel relieved.

In addition to the horses, the remaining livestock can be used for grazing and multiplication, they can also be used for banquets and rewards, and they can also be sold to provide enough meat for the army, and even some of them can be put into the Liangzhou market.

Anyway, it has many uses.

As long as the management keeps up, it's all money.

Precious items such as gold, silver, copper, pearls and jade, according to Liu Bei's order, except those for rewards, after the points are recorded, select the most precious and most valuable batches to dedicate to the emperor, and then select a batch of slightly inferior ones to present to him The elders and friends in the capital exchanged feelings.

All others are included in the state government's public accounts and used for subsequent construction expenditures.

As for those grassland specialties, Liu Bei planned to select some expensive ones to dedicate to Liu Hong, and another batch to be used as gifts, and all others would be included in the public account and used for official expenses.

No matter what you do, don't forget to give gifts. Whether it's to please someone or to thank someone, this expenditure is a must for a local military and political chief like him.

Finally, there are 26 Xianbei people who are the most troublesome to deal with.

But it's troublesome, but it's not difficult to deal with it.

Nomadic tribes generally have the custom of noble, strong and inferior, and the average life expectancy is low. The so-called old are actually a group of people who run up from the age of 40. Very few people really live to the age of 60 or [-].

So in Liu Bei's eyes, they are all strong laborers.

Since it is strong labor, how can it not be used?
Liu Bei decided to treat them differently.

He considered that after a long period of war in Liangzhou, there were many people whose families were broken up, and there were also many single young men.

Especially soldiers in the army, there are many people who cannot marry wives due to various reasons.

So he decided to select women of the right age among these Xianbei people and assign them to single young men in Liangzhou, but their status is not wives, but concubines. Young men can still marry Han women as their regular wives in the future.

This article is just to enable them to have children as soon as possible and increase the population of Liangzhou.

If there is a high-quality human male with strong fertility and strong fertility, and if the family's financial situation is acceptable, even if he already has a wife, he can apply to the Liangzhou government to obtain a Xianbei woman of the right age.

As for all the remaining Xianbei prisoners of war, they were all transferred to the status of servants controlled by the Liangzhou state government, making them official slaves controlled by the Liangzhou government, and used for various heavy physical labor assigned by the government, such as various construction work, All kinds of mining work, and all kinds of digging and filling work and so on.

The Liangzhou government will have a large number of water conservancy projects, road construction projects and city renovation projects to be carried out in the future, which had to be discussed due to lack of manpower.

Now that there are 10,000+ strong laborers all of a sudden, and there is no need to pay them, it must be that these large-scale projects are planned and started immediately.

In this way, it is possible to effectively reduce the burden on the people of Liangzhou. If there are more such official slaves, the corvee that the people of Liangzhou need to bear will be less, or even gone, and they can give birth with peace of mind.

In this regard, officials are strongly supportive.

Under the political reform promoted by Liu Bei, the recovery of agricultural production is an important indicator for the assessment of administrative officials. If there are too many workers, what will happen to agricultural production?
Now that there are a large number of strong laborers to share the responsibilities of Liangzhou people, agricultural production can be regarded as safe, and farmers can continue agricultural production without worrying about being transferred too much labor.

The affairs after the war were almost handled, and Liu Bei began to reward his subordinates who made contributions to this battle.

Although the official award still needs to be reported to the imperial court for approval, it is just a formality.

Liu Bei has determined how everyone is promoted here, and there is only one more procedure at the court.

What the imperial court can really bring to everyone is mainly the growth of the title and the growth of the city, as well as a glory.

As for material rewards, Liu Bei will also give them one, so that they can get two rewards.

Of course, for them, the most important thing is the military award that Liu Bei can decide.

Liu Bei has the final say on military affairs in Liangzhou, and the army is under Liu Bei's strict control. The promotion of positions in the army is also decided by Liu Bei, and the Luoyang court basically does not participate in this link.

The promotion and relegation of military positions that really determine the level of power are all decided by Liu Bei.
