Chapter 186 A new official takes office (Add a small chapter to ask for a monthly ticket)
After entering Li Ji's account, Sun Xiangfu knew exactly what the current situation in Shuozhou was. In simple terms, it was chaos.

When Liang Luoren killed Liang Shidu, he basically killed all his confidantes. These people were all the main officials of Shuozhou at that time, and why Liang Luoren rebelled against Liang Shidu, besides seeing the general situation clearly, was not because of his subordinates. The soldiers can't live in poverty anymore, so they messed around.

As for a traitor like Liang Luoren, Li Shimin naturally looked down on him, and it was impossible for Zai to lead troops in the border village, so he was conferred the title of county prince and made him the right Xiaowei. Generals without real power went.

So, the first situation Shuozhou is currently facing is that there are no civil and military officials.

The second situation is that the treasury has insufficient grain and grass reserves.

The food stored here is used to feed the original thousands of horses in Shuozhou. Now the imperial army has more than 1 cavalry, plus infantry and civilian husbands, there are more than 3 people. The land of Shuozhou was originally There are less than 5 people, and the increase has nearly doubled. It is no wonder that there is enough food and grass.Therefore, the food gap is huge.

Not only that, judging from the public opinion surveyed by Li Ji in the past few days, the people in Shuozhou have insufficient food and grass in their homes, and it is difficult to survive until the ice and snow melt in March next year, let alone the autumn harvest. There are more than 3000 households. By the beginning of next spring, it is hard to say whether there will be 3 households. This is why Liang Shidu has paid attention to Shuozhou for more than ten years, but turned Shuozhou from more than 1 households to more than [-] households.

Now that Sun Xiangfu has accepted the emperor's order, these problems are the problems he faces. Li Ji doesn't seem to want to help him share them at all. He just set up a unity camp with 3000 people according to the territory of Shuozhou. .

The main general is an old army under Li Ji, named Guo Po.Deputy lieutenants, brigade commanders, and centurions are mostly served by Guo Po's original subordinates. As for the soldiers, most of them are strong men drawn from Liang Luoren's old troops. The entire Shuozhou army is only two thousand young men. Zhuang was left to serve as a soldier, and all the rest will be returned to the people.

Sun Xiangfu felt that the name of the general that Li Ji gave him was very unlucky, and he thought it backwards, just like the current situation in Shuozhou, it was a broken pot, and he even carried it on his back.

"Then what, go to the death row camp and get Old Tang to help me."

When it comes to politics, we still have to rely on literati. In this regard, Sun Xiangfu actually has a shortcut. As long as he writes a letter to Wang Xu, Wang Xu can send him a hundred people who can read and write. People come over, but in this way, Sun Xiangfu is in danger of being ostracized. He doesn't want Shuozhou to become the whole Wang family.

Therefore, the first thing he thought of was Tang Fengyi, who had worked in Guangzhou for many years. Sun Xiangfu himself had never been a local official, and he didn't understand the settings of the local government office, so he had to rely on Old Tang for this.

In addition, Sun Xiangfu also thought of a way to make a list to recruit talented people. Anyone who can read and write can come to the government as an official. The more the better, now he doesn't care about any talent.

"Lieutenant Guo, I entrust you with the full power of the Unity Battalion. You can go to the arsenal to allocate the equipment for [-] soldiers. As for how to garrison, I will give you a charter as soon as possible."

Sun Xiangfu is an idiot on the battlefield. He doesn't know how to run an army, let alone command a war, but he knows how to hand over professional matters to professional talents. Guo Po, he fully delegated power.

"Reporting to Sun Changshi, at the end of the next few days, there will be an inspection tour of various parts of Shuozhou. Among the four counties, Shanyang County is all on the border with the Turks, and most of the area is grassland. It is the most difficult to guard against. Therefore, , should be equipped with at least three battalions of full cavalry. Some areas around Mayi City are adjacent to grasslands, but the city is strong, and two battalions of infantry can be sent to defend the city, and one battalion of cavalry can be used for maneuvering.

As for Shanyin County, Huairen County and Ying County, they are all within the defensive line, and it is enough to send a cavalry brigade commander to cooperate with the county government officials to arrest the bandits. "

The first battalion of Datang is about 500 people, and the first brigade is 300 people. Of course, this is not an absolute value. When Guo Po said this, Sun Xiangfu understood what he meant. In Yang County, the defensive troops are placed in Mayi City. As for the three counties within the defense line, a brigade of cavalry is sent to patrol and arrest the bandits.

"Okay, let's do as you want! After the army is sent down, immediately set up a place to recruit talents. At the same time, let the people without household registration go to the government to register, and tell them that the people with household registration will not only have to pay no taxes for three years. You can also get the Yongye Field allocated by the imperial court, starting this winter, each household will be given [-] catties of coal per month."

For the newly recovered places, the imperial court generally has a tax-free policy. Li Ji has already explained the actual situation in Shuozhou to Li Shimin. Therefore, Li Shimin gave here a three-year tax-free period. What you want here is not worse than the taxation in an upstate.

Sun Xiangfu's move naturally wanted to quickly stabilize the hearts of the local people. You must know that they have been ruled by Liang Shidu for more than ten years.

The so-called hundreds of catties of coal are just local materials. Shanxi coal is everywhere, but the people don't know how to use it. At a large coal mine, I organized people to mine some. At present, honeycomb coal has been produced in the coal workshop in Mayi City. As soon as the team of craftsmen under Sun Xiangfu comes over, the safer coal stove will be It is produced in large quantities. After all, there are only more than 1 households in Shuozhou, and each household has a stove, which is only more than 1.

However, food is the problem that must be solved. In this regard, he will ask Wang Xu for help.

After writing a letter in a hurry, Tang Fengyi arrived at the yamen lobby with his hands in his sleeves.

"Why is Sun Changshi looking for this old man?"

"Of course it's helpful to ask knowingly."

"In what name?"

"How about Chang Shi's staff?"

"Yes, yes, but can I make a request?"

"Say."

"Could you stop letting me live in the cave at the city gate? Master Liang has built such a gorgeous mansion. Wouldn't it be a waste not to let people live in it?"

"You corrupt official, enjoy yourself to the fullest, let me tell you guys, you're all moving to Liangshidu today, no, let's live in my house! It just so happens that I'm short of manpower. Let's fight for great wealth! There is no problem in living a good life in this Shuozhou."

With a word from Sun Xiangfu, the palace-like mansion in Liang Shidu belongs to him. This is the benefit of power, but he has not forgotten the poor people in the death row camp. These people are the team he can use in Shuozhou .
