Lu Dynasty

Chapter 286 Civil Affairs
The next day, apart from Zang Ba, who I sent to guard Wubao, and Zhao Lei, who was guarding the grassland, was not there.The other generals, including Huang Ming, were all present.I watched everyone under my command gathered together and began to give orders.The most important thing for us now is to rebuild Chang'an and Luoyang. Luoyang is not in a hurry now, but Chang'an must be rebuilt.I took out a design drawing, which is the city of Chang'an that I planned.I expanded the base of Chang'an City. The original Chang'an could accommodate nearly a million people, and now Chang'an is large enough to accommodate millions of people. In the Chang'an City I designed, both sewers and drainage facilities are very reasonable. Yes, the city center is no longer a palace but a school.The school is surrounded by facilities such as the Chang'an Ling Yamen and the Imperial Palace to ensure that students can receive a good education.

I handed the blueprint to Huang Ming and asked: "Do you see if there is any problem? Use cement to build it. As for the palace, leave a space first, and then decide whether to build a palace or a palace later!" In fact, this is also thanks to Li Jue and Guo Si , Dong Zhuo, get rid of Chang'an and Luoyang, otherwise, just do it like me, and the demolition and resettlement fees will definitely make me bleed.

Huang Ming received the blueprint and said: "Master, if you build it like this, it will take a year for 10 people to build it!"

"I'll give you three months at most!" I said with a smile, "Aren't there many slaves on the grasslands? Transfer a hundred thousand and use them first! Soon Chang'an will be ours. If any of those slaves can speak Chinese, First turn to the first batch of Han people to participate in the construction of Chang'an. We have to be responsible for the people under our command, but we can't support them for nothing? Starting tomorrow, those who are over 50 years old and unable to work will gather in the north of the city to boil water every day Cooking porridge, which does not require physical strength, will be handed over to Zhang Ji to manage. The remaining capable people and young adults who are willing to join the army will be dealt with by Cao Xing. For the project, we will distribute food and fodder on a daily basis, and this matter will be handed over to Tian Feng!"

Tian Feng said: "Master, do I need to relieve myself of the responsibility of managing military discipline and law?"

"No, you pick a few more interesting ones to inspect, and if you find someone who violates military discipline and laws, I'll hand it over to you!" I laughed and said, "All the soldiers removed from the cavalry in Xiliang will first serve as garrison soldiers. Cheng Lian will take care of them, and those who know how to breed horses, Cheng Lian, you can find a pasture in the direction of Chang'an to Xiliang to breed horses for them!"

Zhang Fei hadn't heard of his appointment after listening to it for a long time, so he immediately became anxious. He ran out and said, "Brother, what am I doing?"

"Don't worry, you must be leading the troops!" I smiled and said, "The most urgent task now is to deal with the people's livelihood in Chang'an. We can't let the people under our command be short of food and clothing like other princes. So food is an important thing. Things! Xi Zhicai, you should be the chief farmer first. From now on, I will hand over the agricultural affairs of all the land under my command to you. The sweet potato you tried to grow should be successful! Let the field soldiers plant it first. Make military rations, and then promote them to the common people, I don’t think the common people would like to be hungry!” Xi Zhicai nodded after listening to my order.

I said to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, you are in charge of intelligence. Now let Jia Xu handle the information with you. There are some things that need to be dealt with urgently. You don't need to report to me, just execute them directly. With Jia Shi's eyes that can see through people's hearts, add Come on you, Guo Jia, you are my eyes and ears! There is another very important thing, you should focus on the Jiaozhou area. I heard that there is a kind of rice that is cropped three times a year. It may be because of the northern climate. , but at least two years and three times!"

"No... no way!" Guo Jia said, "My lord, who did you hear that, how could there be that kind of rice that is cropped three times a year?"

However, Jia Xu said very gloomyly: "Fengxiao, my lord said that there is, even if there is no, you should pay attention to it. As the saying goes, there is no reason for it. If there is such a kind of rice that is ripe three times a year that we find first, then It is an important weight for the lord to dominate the world!"

Tian Feng stroked his chin and said: "It seems that there is such a thing. It used to be reported by the governor of Jiaozhou or the prefect of Cangwu that there is a kind of rice that is ripe several times a year, but His Majesty Lingdi just laughed it off! My lord Said, I really have some impressions. This incident became a big joke back then, and the official who played the show resigned at that time! Everyone said that the official left in shame and anger. Could it be that what he said was true? ?”

Jia Xu said: "I think he left because he was disappointed with the big man. Emperor Ling didn't even send someone to check it out after receiving the memorial, so he just laughed it off and said he was a fool. It really didn't wrong him."

"Master Jia, please be merciful! After all, Emperor Ling has been dead for so many years, why bother to turn over his old account!" I laughed and said, "Because of the limitations of vision, many people think that others can't do things that they can't do. No. Now if I tell you that people can fly in the sky and live under water, you will definitely not believe it. But do you know what it will be like in a hundred years or a thousand years? Emperor Ling thinks that it is impossible for three-season rice to appear Yes, it’s auspicious. But he doesn’t know that everything has a reason, but we don’t know it!”

"My lord also told me not to talk about Emperor Ling, you talked more than me!" It seems that Jia Xu has a good life with me, and he even dared to joke about me!
I smiled and said, "I won't talk nonsense, Huang Ming, since you have taken over the construction of Chang'an, Mi Zhu will be in charge of business and trade, and you will be responsible for assisting him. All matters must be agreed by the two of you. If there is any disagreement Come to me again. As for the funds needed for the construction of Chang’an, you should review and budget first, then report to Mi Zhu, and then ask Mi Zhu to report to me. Mi Zhu, as for the business of your own family, leave it to Zifang or Huan’er, you Just be a guide!"

"Then leave it to Zifang! Huan'er is a girl's family, how can she handle business in public. Now I regret that I indulged her. Now she is almost 20 years old and hasn't married yet! I'm really worried about her What's next!" Mi Zhu said with a sigh.

When Mi Zhu said these words, Tai Shici's expression was a little strange.Tai Shici remembered what his mother said, but if he came to ask me now, it was obviously not the time.After seeing Tai Shici's expression, I patted Mi Zhu on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry! Xiaohuan'er is also my younger sister. If she really can't get married, I will take care of her for the rest of her life, but I'm afraid that someone will marry her in a hurry." !" After I finished speaking, I gave Tai Shici a clear look, which made him confused.

After hearing Mi Zhu's words, Mi Fang said, "Brother, leave the business to Huan'er, I want to lead the army! And I'm not good enough for business!"
