Chapter 90
The next day, it was dawn and the sun shone on his butt, and Lu Ning slowly got up. After washing up, the guards brought food. Lu Ning realized that his stomach was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back. This time, the rushing attack consumed a lot of energy. Not to mention Lu Ning, even Zhao Yun and others felt very tired.
Lu Ning just finished eating, Zhao Yun, Tian Chou and Mai Zi all came together.
Lu Ning said to the three of them: "Thank you for your hard work, have you been Wenyuan? How is Huguan recovered?"
Tian Chou said: "Lord, Huguan was successfully captured. There were no major casualties, and no unexpected situations. It was basically the result of internal and external cooperation. General Wenyuan would not arrive in the afternoon."
Lu Ning thought for a while and said, "Have the people in Shangdang City eliminated their panic? They told the soldiers not to disturb the people. They found that there were incidents of smashing, smashing and looting, and they should be dealt with seriously. For those who are more angry, they should be killed. Everything should be focused on stabilizing the people's hearts and paying attention to maintaining normal social order."
Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, you'll handle it as you told me."
Lu Ning said: "Zilong, how many new recruits have been reorganized according to our army's requirements."
Zhao Yun smiled wryly and said, "The Shangdang Department has more than 20,000 soldiers. In the end, there are less than 3,000 people who can meet our army's requirements. I don't know what to do with the rest."
Lu Ning said: "They all surrendered voluntarily, and they ordered surrender by Zhang Yang. They cannot be treated like the soldiers of Ding Yuan's troops. If they fail to meet the requirements, they will be converted into farmers and distributed to them to farm."
Mai Zi said: "Lord, then will our land allocation plan for Shangdang be implemented according to Yanmen's policy?"
Lu Ning said: "That's for sure. There can't be a variety of policies in our jurisdiction! We want to make those big households automatically hand over the excess land through taxes. Anyway, if they don't hand over, each household with more than 20 acres, the more than 80% of the taxes will be collected. If there is a barren person, the fine of fifty taels of gold per mu will be confiscated. In this way, those big households will take the initiative to hand over the land, and the people will also have their own land, and the people will support us more."
Tian Chou said: "Lord, this is good, I'm afraid that those big families will escape from our jurisdiction. If that happens, we won't lose too much. How can we stabilize those big clans?"
Lu Ning smiled and said, "Zi Tai, don't worry, we have won the hearts of the people on the land, and our preferential policies in industry and business should attract many businesses, and our clans transfer funds to industry and business. After all, we have the lightest taxes in the industry and business industry. As long as they do it well, it should be more cost-effective than farming. As long as our policies can make money, will they not be able to get along with money? They will definitely smile so much that they can't even keep their mouths together."
Mai Zi said: "Then let's handle it according to the lord's wishes."
Lu Ning said: "Whether it is the newly built territory or the original territory, the grain can only be in and out of the country. This is discipline and anyone must implement it. You must strictly prevent someone from taking advantage of the situation and transporting the grain out of the jurisdiction, especially those newly built areas. Large households who have opinions about us will definitely secretly transport the grain out of their own if they find out that they are confiscated."
Mai Zi said: "It's the lord."
Lu Ning said: "After Wen Yuan comes, Changsui will deal with government affairs in Shangdang. Wen Yuan leads troops to station in Shangdang. Zilong will immediately clear other counties. Resolutely suppress those who resist to the end. If you should kill them, you should kill them. You must conduct a re-examination of all surrendered officials. If you pass, use them. If you fail, let him go home. For officials who embezzle and accept bribes, we must deal with them strictly and severely. We do not need garbage. I am a lack of talent, but I am not a turtle turtle. I will definitely not use those with poor character. If the officials are not moral, no matter how talented they are."
Tian Chou, Mai Zi and Zhao Yun said, "It's the lord (big brother)."
Zhao Yun said: "Brother, then I will send more troops to clear and recover?"
Lu Ning smiled and said, "You will lead the troops tomorrow. Wen Yuan left him five thousand flying bear soldiers and five thousand storm soldiers in Shangdang. Those three thousand new recruits will be left for Wen Yuan and let him train well. Zilong led 5 thousand flying bear soldiers and five thousand storm soldiers to clear him."
Zhao Yunlong said: "It's the eldest brother."
Lu Ning said: "Zilong, after you clear out other unrecovered places, you must personally lead 10,000 troops to guard the Xihe River. It is connected with the northern land, and the Huns and Tartars will come to invade at any time. You must be extremely cautious. As for the battle on the prairie, you, Junyi and Wenyuan will take turns. We cannot relax our guard on the Tartars on the prairie! We must take the initiative to attack and let them follow us. Otherwise, the Xianbei iron cavalry on the prairie will have a huge threat to us. We do not have the ability to fight decisively with them now. We can only use guerrilla warfare, mobile warfare, harassment warfare, sneak attack and other tactics and means to use our army's mobility to eliminate their Tartar cavalry in the movement."
Tian Chou said: "The lord is right. The Xianbei tribes on the prairie actually have their own settlements on the northern prairie. Although they migrate south to overwinter every year, there are a certain number of people and cavalry guarding their long-term settlements, but their strength is not that great. As long as our army maintains high mobility at any time, we can also launch sneak attacks on his nest, so that their Tartars will suffer greater losses."
Mai Zi said: "Lord, Zhang Taishou and others are still waiting for you to meet you outside. They came early in the morning."
Lu Ning smiled and said, "Let them wait a little longer, let's study the work."
Mai Zi said: "The lord needs to leave Shangdang for more times. Can you stay for a while?"
Lu Ning said: "I will leave tomorrow. How dare I stay too late? Do I have to go back to Jinyang to study how to deal with the court accountability?"
Zhao Yun said: "Then there are no soldiers around you, how can this be done? Now there is no news from Lu Bu and others, and I don't know where they are hiding. What if you encounter them?"
Lu Ning laughed and said, "Don't worry, aren't there Ziman, Zitai and more than 200 guards? Besides, I'm not a person with no self-defense ability at all. At least I can deal with second-rate characters."
Mai Zi said: "Didn't it mean that Lu Bu was injured?"
Dian Wei said: "Lu Bu has more than ten and twenty arrows hanging on his body! I don't know how he is injured?"
Lu Ning said to Mai Zi: "Changsui, go and call Zhang Yang and the others in."
