At the head of Zhen'an County, Shengzhou, Han Zhigu sneered repeatedly.

As the chief clerk of the Lifan Court and the chief of the Lisheng Prefecture, Han Zhigu knew that he had no way out, and at the same time he gave up any shame. In the face of various ridicule and insults from the Khitans, he was calm and unsuspecting in the face of changes, and had a demeanor of spitting on his own.

There were soldiers in Shengzhou, with about a thousand people, mainly soldiers of the imperial guards who were "retired and rehired" in Daxia, new soldiers of Yunzhou Yuan, and soldiers of Datong, who were unwilling to be soldiers in the palace, and soldiers of the Qing Pass.

Han Zhigu took them as the foundation and recruited more than 10,000 people from various clans to guard Zhen'an County inside and outside Zhen'an County, which is the original Beilou, which is the only county in Lishengzhou.

As for the elderly, weak, women, children, cattle and sheep, they had already moved eastward at night - this was the news conveyed by the Khitan Sakurai tribe, which was grazing further north, with blood.

Yan Gu spent a lot of money with his subordinates and found out about A Baoji's ranch, so he gathered his troops in excitement. Unexpectedly, he overestimated his strength and was beaten after being discovered.

He ran fast at the bottom of the jurisdiction and was the first to flip, and the loss was not big.

Yan Gu only took off a layer of skin, his nephew was surrounded, and he didn't know his life or death. His subordinates were killed and injured thousands, and his strength was greatly damaged.

After the news came back, Han Zhigu made a quick decision and immediately organized manpower to transfer the elderly, weak, women, children, cattle and sheep. At the same time, he recruited young men and women, built camps, and nailed them firmly to Lishengzhou, preparing to hold the enemy and buy time. As long as they were still there, A Baoji would not be able to plunder at will unless he did not worry about the way out.

When the transfer was just ordered, no one objected. It was only late May, and after a winter, the cattle and sheep had just eaten a few bites of fresh pasture. After a little rest, you had to travel a long distance again, don’t consider the mood of the herdsmen?

But Han Zhigu's attitude was very firm. The warriors who came from the Central Plains also supported him. The tribal chiefs who had just suffered a crushing defeat last year did not dare to force themselves, and pinched their noses and agreed.

That's not all. Seeing that they were reluctant, Han Zhigu went to supervise them personally, with a stern tone and a tough attitude. Finally, he successfully retreated before the enemy attacked and covered up the traces.

Now, the facts proved that his worries make sense. He was reluctant to leave the jars and jars, and the end result was losing everything.

"The more fierce the thieves scold, the more they are, the more they are timid." Han Zhigu turned around, looked at the leaders of many clans behind him, and said, "A Baoji is a dog that is a lost family. The saint has arrived in Fuyu, Tielin, Tiande, Youguo, Luoyan, and the guards gathered one after another, with no less than 100,000 elite troops. He dared not come with the courage of A Baoji. Tens of thousands of troops in the camp in Rouzhou are eyeing him, so what should A Baoji use to fight? If you have a family and a career, and have surrendered to the court, don't think about everything. Remember, don't miss yourself!"

"I dare not! I dare not!" Everyone looked at me and I looked at you and responded.

Han Zhigu snorted coldly and said no more.

He knew that the main military force of Li Shengzhou was still surrendering people, mainly Shulu, Chute and Xi people.

At this critical moment, you must stick your feet, the tougher the better. People are so mean. You speak kindly, comfort and win over them, but they will make people feel undecided. If you are tougher and explain the consequences clearly, these people who have just experienced failure will not dare to rebel in a short period of time.

Of course, there is another level of grasp, which is not simple, everything depends entirely on the spot. Han Zhigu actually did a good job, accurately grasping the entangled psychology of the Khitan people and avoiding a chaos.

"Woo——" the sound of blowing horns continued.

There were more and more Khitan cavalry gathered outside the city, and the defenders gradually calmed down after experiencing the initial panic.

The Daxia Imperial Army who was rehired after retirement is still reliable.

Their existence greatly soothes the hearts of the people. The Khitans did not have the determination and ability to overcome difficulties, and they were also afraid that if they suffered heavy casualties and injuries, they would collapse first.

This is the fear of beating both ends of the wolf, and it is more bad!

"At the evening, I will send people out of the city to send a message. I will go in two batches, one to the west, one to the Yikunzhou to find Liangdutou, and one to the east, and go to Fuyu Mansion to report to the saints." Seeing that the Khitans had no intention of taking the initiative to attack the city, Han Zhigu felt relieved, and after giving a few instructions, he got off the city.

Next, he would urge some left-behind people to fail to control arrows and prepare materials to repair the city walls - what if the Khitans can't figure it out and really attack the city? It's always right to be prepared for any trouble.

At the same time, he is also working hard to analyze the current situation.

A Baoji's southward move can only be regarded as a robbery at best. He should not have the courage to fight the Xia army, so he can only harass him and withdraw if he gets some benefits.

The saint also looked down upon him. He only recruited some of the Yingzhou soldiers wandering on the grasslands as the protective forces on the flanks of the army. In addition, the troops stationed in the Qishengzhou itself, as long as there was no large-scale rebellion, Abaoji would have no chance.

On the contrary, if he makes some mistakes, he may be bitten by the Johor Bahru camp and suffer another big loss.

After suffering losses, if the treatment is improper or the loss is too great, the alliance of the Khitan remnants, Wugu and the Wu people that Abaoji hurriedly kneaded will collapse again and will no longer be a disaster.

"I was originally Yueliduo's mother, and I should have been loyal to Yueliduo. I have no place to be sorry for A Baoji..." Han Zhigu worked hard to build his mind, calm down, and took big steps.

*******

At the end of May, Shao Shude arrived in Fuyu County, Xianzhou, which would be his temporary residence.

At this moment, he received news from the Seven Saints Prefectures and Yong'an Palace, so he asked Yue Liduo about his opinion.

"Your Majesty, Abaoji went south and was just robbing." Yueliduo said.

"Why do you think so?" Shao Shude asked.

"Abaoji urgently needs victory to regain prestige, but he cannot bear the failure." Yueliduo analyzed: "So, he will definitely control the battlefield trend carefully. Once he sees the main force of the King's Army, he will escape. Anyway, he should have taken advantage of this, and he can explain it by withdrawing troops."

"You really saw through A Baoji." Shao Shude sighed: "If you were a man, you would have no place in the sea long ago, so you have to stand aside."

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to this direction. He found Chen Cheng, Zhao Guangfeng and others, while inspecting the suburbs of Xianzhou, while talking about the development of Chenzhou - Zhang Quanyi, the Liaodong Road Transport Author, and Han Congyun, the governor of Xianzhou, were also present.

Lao Zhang's work ability is not enough, and Shao Shude is very satisfied. Therefore, he asked Chu, who was serving with him, to stay in the city and no longer show up, although Lao Zhang may not mind at all.

Zhang Quanyi's development of Xianzhou was mainly concentrated in Fuyu County. After the winter of last year, he organized manpower to strengthen the city, built a lot of livestock, and counted materials from various places to communicate with each other.

Liaodong has a characteristic, because the infrastructure such as roads, reservoirs and other infrastructure is extremely decayed, and there is a lot of rainfall in summer, and floods often break out, flooding the roads, so in the winter after snow, it actually undertakes a lot of transportation tasks.

This strange state even lasted until the puppet Manchukuo period. After the spring pulp period arrived, the roads were muddy and floods broke out frequently in summer. Therefore, it was better to wait until the land was frozen hard before transporting it on a large scale - carriages, ox carts, sleds, and whatever it was used. The natural river channel became a highway, which was even flatter than the post road, which was also a great wonder.

After Zhang Quanyi counted the materials in various places, he worked tirelessly to organize the transfer of manpower. At the same time, he rectified the stations in various places, and even the Dog Sled Station during the Bohai Kingdom period carefully inspected and tried to rebuild and resume operations.

After the beginning of spring, people will be organized to plow spring. At this time, the seedlings have grown and spring seedlings have grown, which looks very pleasant.

"Your Majesty, there are more than 600 hectares of arable land in Fuyu County, all of which have been sown. There are more than 1,000 hectares of idle fields, and 300 hectares have been sown." Zhang Quanyi introduced: "They are all planted. Next year, I will ask someone to try to plant some wheat. If the wheat is not good, then plant rye. Before I came, I asked someone to transport a batch of rye seeds from Shenzhou and picked a large round seed. Sinong Temple will also transport a batch of newly cultivated seeds, which will be around July..."

Zhang Quanyi's introduction mainly focuses on farming. It can be seen that he is very familiar with these things.

"Fuyu has only such a few people, and you have to plant thousands of acres of land. Can you be busy?" Shao Shude asked.

"Your Majesty, how did the Tubo people grow barley in the past, and how did the Xi people grow millet?" Zhang Quanyi replied.

Shao Shude understands.

The Tubo people planted food and ignored it after sowing seeds.

Anyway, there is a lot of land, so it is easy to harvest. Usually, grazing is done. When harvesting in August, men, women, young and old will join forces to catch a fight. The amount of harvest can be harvested is as much as possible. Everything will go with the flow.

They don’t expect to live on this food as a supplement to the income from grazing. Don’t say that, for many tribes, this is actually quite reasonable. It is not only more nourishing than simply grazing, but also has a stronger ability to resist risks than pure farming. After all, there are two sources of income.

"You can do the farming work, I believe you." Shao Shude said: "Well done, why should I be stingy with the reward?"

When Zhang Quanyi heard this, his face turned red.

He knew that it was very difficult for civil servants to get a title. Even a county man had to spend countless efforts to fight for it, and most of them could not win it. Since the saint opened this mouth, then the Zhang family had a great chance. How could he not be happy?

Shao Shude continued to wander in the fields, picked up a handful of soil and took a closer look.

Well, we must actively utilize the gifts of nature.

"Have the troops in the palace started to divide the land?" Shao Shude asked again.

"It has begun. Since March, more than 2,000 people have been divided into three Zhechong Mansions. This matter is supervised by the King of Qin, and I am just cooperating." Zhang Quanyi replied.

Shao Shude nodded and sighed, "There are not enough people."

There are so many martial artists in the world! There are so many military soldiers to arrange! The problem caused by this is that there are not enough troops.

Although the Great Xia was not slavery, the troops of the government were not slaves, but farmers and tenants. In fact, they were serfs.

If serfs are abolished by law, are there no serfs? Tsarist Russia tells you that it is impossible. In order to resettle the warriors, Daxia turned a blind eye, and a large number of de facto serfs were produced.

No one wants to be a serf.

After defeating the Khitan, Bohai, and occupying the states of Shen, Xian, Xia, Huan and other provinces, the people of all ethnic groups such as Bohai, Xi, Khitan, Goguryeo, and Sogdian on these newly obtained lands have basically become serfs and sent to various government soldiers as troops.

But it was still far from enough. Shao Shude even had to find a way out from the Central Plains, sent a group of prisoners to encourage his family to follow him, and at the same time, he forced the rebels of Wei Bo, Xichuan, Longyou and other places to be relocated as the military command of the government.

Even the prisoners captured on the battlefield moved their entire family and tried every means to replenish the population.

The martial artist is so fucking!

He read the classics and learned that the Northern Zhou Dynasty, with a population of 7 million, had only about 48,000 soldiers for a long time. How many people would he arrange now? No less than 100,000!

If you calculate carefully, good guy, it is enough for all the people in the Bohai Kingdom to be demoted to slaves. But this will inevitably cause unrest and lead to a delay in the Northeast's situation. And unrest will lose the population and aggravate the deterioration of the situation. How to operate depends entirely on the level of the officials.

Zhang Quanyi, can he do it?

"You already know about the discovery of Han Mine Cave in Chenzhou, right? Tell me what I thought about." Shao Shude decided not to worry about this matter anymore, and instead asked about mining.

In fact, in later generations, we discovered ancient mine caves in Anshan area, with a total of six. The earliest mine caves were said to be from the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty. Next to the mine caves, ancient wells dug by the Tang Dynasty were also found, and porcelain from the Liao Dynasty was also seen. It can be seen that since the Qin Dynasty, the development of these mine caves has not been interrupted.

As for why the scale has not increased? In fact, it is very simple. There is a very bad curse for the development of civilization in the Northeast region: the population is periodically cleared.

Sima Yi slaughtered Liaodong and moved the population of Goguryeo in the Tang Dynasty. Both of these led to the collapse of Liaodong's social and economic situation.

It goes without saying that Sima Yi killed people, but Goguryeo's "retirement households" were moved in the Tang Dynasty, namely officials, literati, merchants, handicraftsmen, etc., which basically successfully degenerated into a state of ignorance.

The Liao and Jin dynasties finally developed, with millions of people in the Northeast, and the Mongols came again and killed them all.

In the late Yuan Dynasty, Liaodong gradually grew in population, and then it ushered in the cruel end of the dynasty. Nine out of ten houses in Liaodong were empty, and thousands of miles away were uninhabited.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was another cruel killing, and then the Qing Dynasty entered the pass in a large number, and there was a desolation outside the pass.

This kind of periodic population clearance is really hurtful to the social development of a place. It repeatedly interrupts the process of civilization and even makes big strides. If it can develop, there will be ghosts.

"Your Majesty, there is a shortage of people." Zhang Quanyi's answer was concise.

"What if there is someone?" Shao Shude asked.

"We have to wait." Zhang Quanyi said: "When the grain is stable and harvested for a year or two, and have some savings and the situation stabilizes, we can only start mining and smelting iron."

"You are steady." Shao Shude smiled and said, "In fact, Liaodong is rich in meat, fish, skin, wild goods, and wood. It is very good. If you have sufficient manpower, you can indeed become a rich place."

"Your Majesty, the most valuable thing in Liaodong is the land." Zhang Quanyi said: "Thousands of miles of fertile soil are harvested in a huge amount of grain every year. With a long flow of water, nothing can be compared."

"Zhang Qingguo is a talented person, so he immediately grasped the key point." Shao Shude said: "Do it well, let me open my eyes and see how much food can be produced in Liaodong."

"Your Majesty, as long as you can be stable for five years, Liaodong will be self-sufficient." Zhang Quanyi said with confidence.

After five years of pacifying Liao, Shao Shude laughed in silence.

Zhang Quanyi's words actually have preconditions. "Stability" and "stability". Throughout history, it is actually a luxury product and the main service content provided by capable countries.

Whether Liaodong is stable or not depends entirely on how he is fighting Bohai this time.
