Chapter 579 Personnel Arrangements Before Going West
Dong Hu really needs to go back to Liangzhou to take a look. Not only does he need to walk around Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and the grasslands in the south and north of the desert, he needs to take a look at the situation in various places, and to see with his own eyes whether the general has any other thoughts, and to understand whether his influence can control the soldiers and horses everywhere. He doesn't want to be a bear peeling corn. He broke one and threw another one, and he doesn't want to let the Wanli Grassland escape from control.
In his heart, the Wanli Grassland is a more important existence than the Central Plains sky.
Daya understood his intentions. If he always lay at the door of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, those guys would definitely be in a group. Only by staying away from them would the princes fight each other. Once the fight caused hatred, it would be much more difficult to join forces again. Even if they join forces again in the future, they would definitely be on guard against each other, fearing that the other party would swallow their troops.
Knowing his intentions, he no longer insisted on his desire to return to Liangzhou. During the day, Da Ya was still completely different. When Dong Hu was discussing the military military soldiers with several veterans, she just acted as an assistant. But at night, the thirty-year-old woman became a female wolf who was asking for help. Even though Dong Hu was at the peak of young and middle-aged, she almost begged for mercy.
For three consecutive days, Dong Hu was a little afraid of his beautiful eldest daughter-in-law. After three consecutive days of military discussion, the veteran generals slapped their beards and chuckled. The young generals sat upright, but their eyes were occasionally glanced at him and the much more beautiful big girl. He was so angry that he would occasionally tap Dong Chong, Zhang Liao and Wu'anguo with a small bamboo pole on the heads of the three.
He explained to several veterans in private, and the veterans were far more aware of the importance of Liangbing than the impulsive young generals. He also agreed with him that he wanted to return to Liangzhou.
For three days, I handled government affairs during the day and worked with Da Ya at night. When I saw the time, I would accompany the children to tell some small stories and take them around Luoyang, so as to inspect the restoration of Luoyang City.
Luoyang is the imperial capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Perhaps because the Eastern Han Dynasty is poor and the business is underdeveloped, its population size is far from a million-level city, but it is difficult to restore its original appearance in a short period of time. Except for the many store-style wooden buildings built on both sides of the street, other places are rubble. Moreover, even the wooden buildings on both sides of the street, looking at the black on the wood they built, you know that it was demolished and built by many destroyed houses.
There were all the signs of "Dong" on the street. When he saw this scene, Dong Hu secretly covered his mouth and was embarrassed. Da Ya's eating habits were too ugly. The dozens of main streets in Luoyang City were all full of signs of "Dong". It was difficult for the generals in the army to do business, but he didn't say much. After all, he also needed countless copper coins to support the issuance of paper money and needed countless money to support the army.
Although I didn't say anything on the surface, I told Da Ya privately about this. The ownership of the store can be kept in my hands, but I need to rent it to others at a low price, and draw up a contract or something. If the store is destroyed, the renter will pay for the repairs themselves. The rent is used as a security management fee, a sanitation fee, etc. There is no need to look so ugly.
The 21 cities in Luoyang have a population of one million, and the average number is only 50,000 in each county. In later generations, there is a population of one million.
In addition to the regular soldiers, all the more than 100,000 young and strong prisoners became re-detained personnel in the military farming "labor reform" and re-detained personnel.
Recruiting is different from forcibly recruiting soldiers. The more than 100,000 prisoners captured this time were all princes. The soldiers recruited by each family using the righteousness of "supporting the Han Dynasty" were very proactive, so some transformations were carried out, and they could not simply divide the land directly into the people. The prisoners need to be kept in charge. If the prisoners perform peacefully in three or two years, they can become people who do not need military law constraints.
After Dong Zhuo moved the capital, Yin Twenty-one counties in Henan Province became a land without owners. Once Dong Hu forcibly occupied all the land, hundreds of thousands of people became his tenants.
Luoyang and Liangzhou are very different from Bingzhou. He can not collect taxes north of Yanmen Pass in Bingzhou, and can only tax one in Liangzhou, but not in Luoyang. Luoyang faces pressure from the enemy of "30 million" and needs more taxes to support soldiers. The miscellaneous taxes have been cancelled, but the "land rent" has become one in ten taxes, thereby increasing the taxes to support soldiers.
The time was too short, and he could not accurately determine the population of the twenty-one counties, and could only estimate it to be about 600,000. Excluding the 200,000 young and old who could not be cultivated, 400,000 people could cultivate at least 4 million mu of acres. The yield per mu of three stones of grain can produce 12 million stones, 10 taxes and 1.2 million stones of grain. Based on the 21 stone of grain consumed by each soldier, he could raise 60,000 soldiers. However, if the consumption of horses is included, this tax is definitely not enough, so soldiers also need a certain number of military farms. In addition, more than 100,000 prisoners will farm, and there is no problem in feeding 60,000 soldiers, at least they will not be hungry.
In three days, Dong Hu discussed personnel arrangements with some veterans, and some were just a big deal, and he didn't even call the generals who were traveling outside to ask for advice. However, time was too tight, so he could only do this. The rest was left to some veterans to deal with.
Dong Buyi was in charge of the army, first from Lintao, second from Liangzhou, then from Yellow Turban Army, and finally from other places. Yaoshan, Yang Yi, Dong San, and Dong Si had a respectable status, and there was nothing to worry about with them assisting Da Ya.
As long as the army is not in chaos, other things are not considered big.
Three days later, except for Dong Gu, Dong Hu did not take anyone with him. Dong Chong was dissatisfied and was scolded severely. Then he sent his elder brother to Hangu Pass without saying a word.
After many years of running around, not only Dong Hu and his wife and children were separated, but his soldiers were also the same. Zhang Liao and Liu Yue married for two years, but had no children for two years. Dong Chong and Erya got married ten years ago. For ten years, they fought south and north, and they only had one son...
Dong Hu has always felt a little guilty about his younger brother and sister. He died early. Many people can't even remember their names and appearances. Those who followed the battles in the north and north are also thousands of miles apart from his wife and children all year round. This time, he did not bring anyone except Dong Gu who had been away from his hometown for six years.
Dong Gu is the patriarch of Beiheqiang. When he left the Hehuang Valley, he brought three or four hundred Beiheqiang to accompany him. Since the first year of Zhongping, he fought south and north for six years. Only dozens of people were left. This time, there were only dozens of people following Dong Hu, all of whom were going back to their hometown to visit relatives.
Looking at the direction where dozens of riders disappeared, Da Ya said nothing for a long time...
"When Huwa is going back to Liangzhou, he should bring more troops, only a few dozen cavalry..."
"well……"
Yao Shan sighed softly, and everyone else showed a look of worry, but Da Ya stepped forward to support Yao Shan’s arm.
"Uncle Dashan doesn't have to worry too much. There are five thousand northern camps in Chang'an. Sanya should be able to take good care of her husband. After entering Liangzhou, you have Hou, Xiao Yi and Uncle Sanshan. I believe them. After entering Xining, there is a tripod and shaking them. We have nothing to worry about."
Yao Shan sighed: "Thuwa has been staying in Liang and border areas for many years. It seems that he ignores the affairs of the court, but in fact he offended many people. Even if some men are not suitable for the plateau climate, it is still OK to send Tigerwa to Xining City."
Yang Yi nodded and said, "What Dashan said is that even if the tiger baby brings a thousand sons, we won't be worried."
