Chapter 163 Palace(2/2)
Huge and numerous.
What a primitive and wild scene.
"How many people are there in Guangchengze?" Shao Xun asked again.
Tang Jian shook his head, expressing his ignorance.
Shao Xun was silent. He really lacked capable civil servants around him. Such ordinary people from a noble family rarely came to seek refuge with him.
The military-political group he founded is a bit deformed.
"However, I heard that there is a large settlement and several small villages on the southern edge of Guangcheng Ze. There are probably hundreds of households, some of which are local people and some of which are refugees from the south." Tang Jian added: "I can't be sure, but it's just
Listen."
"Send people to investigate. If there is a settlement, occupy it." Shao Xun said expressionlessly: "The people of the settlement are assigned to the Long Sword Army officers and soldiers as troops. If they are unwilling, drive them away."
"Promise." Tang Jian replied that he would inform Chen Yougen about this matter.
"That's it, Guang Chengze still needs time." Shao Xun got on his horse and said, "Go home."
He left as soon as he said he would, without any hesitation.
There isn't much to do in Guangchengze for the time being.
In the summer, he might try to recruit a group of refugees to grow crops here for a season and get a feel for the land here.
Next year, more fields will be sorted out, and the planting area can be expanded. After harvesting one crop, it will be ready to be distributed to the soldiers.
The Long Sword Army is still recruiting people, and they must carefully assess various skills before they can be recruited. It is relatively strict, and the current number is close to nine hundred.
After they are divided, the financial burden will be greatly reduced.
Semi-off-the-job soldiers like the Silver Spear Army can slowly try to be completely off-the-job. Everything is ultimately linked to economic strength.
