Five hundred and eighty-fourth chapter Xu Xutuzhi
Luo Zhaoyun began to manage civil affairs in six northern counties, which was a big test for him. This is different from leading troops to fight, fighting on the battlefield, focusing on placing troops, making surprise plans to defeat the enemy, engaging in economics, and people's livelihood issues. It requires a real cycle of progress, not leaping forward or exaggerating, otherwise it will backfire. There are many lessons in history.
Although Luo Zhaoyun had a lot of resentment in his mind, he did not dare to go too far from the limitations of the times. If the people could not accept it and the aristocratic families would treat him as an alternative and leave him.
Just like Wang Mang, he carried out changes, promoted banks, made finance, issued new monetary policies, etc., and created too many names in the short term, which made the people and the clans unable to keep up with his pace. As a result, they all had skepticism, and the extent was too large in the end, resulting in failure.
Sometimes, Luo Zhaoyun suspected that Wang Mang was actually a time traveler. Otherwise, many government decisions and decisions were too similar to later generations, and were very different from the thinking of the Qin, Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties. It was definitely an alternative, but it ended up failing.
At present, Luo Zhaoyun is working steadily, first solving the problem of food and clothing, exempting taxes, restoring farming, surveillance of household registration, re-dividing the fields, and fixing the people in rural fields and villages. Only in this way can the stability of the population and the peace of society be guaranteed, and the unsuccessful deeds will not be a bandit or gathering people to cause trouble.
Secondly, Xu Min established wineries, dyed cloth workshops, weaving workshops, etc., to absorb surplus labor, and even many housewives used it, which allowed many people to obtain wages and supplement their household expenses through daily work.
Some large palace cities such as building cities, building channels, and building courtyards used prisoners of war, while the other used farmers and workers. The former was atonement for sins and meritorious service, while the latter earned wages and earned labor points for the family, which could offset the labor service in the future.
In this way, the people's paid labor without compulsory oppression, and they do not care about the life and death of the people's workers as usual, and no longer let them die. The people in Zhuo County are grateful for this recruitment model. Although the wages are not large, they can make up for their household expenses and ensure their survival, and they all accept it happily.
Shanggu County and Liaodong County were also included in his territory. The population of six counties reached 800,000, but compared with the border areas, it is still vast and sparsely populated.
Luo Zhaoyun used his military generals to ask for talent orders for their family. Soon someone came, such as Changsun Wuji's uncle, Changsun Shunde, and served as the Right Guard of Luoyang. He was sent out to suppress the rebels by local counties and counties. He fled on the way and defected to Zhuo County.
There was also a talented scholar, Wen Yanbo, the direct consent of the Sui Dynasty, who also went north to Zhuo County and was directly promoted to the Chief Secretary of the General Administration by Luo Zhaoyun.
In addition, the Lu family, Zu family and others in Fanyang have some middle-aged scholars who have defected, which has supplemented the talents in governing the people.
The younger generation, Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui, were all used by him in an extraordinary manner and entrusted with important tasks.
The coins of the six northern counties began to be unified and standardized, and the Wuzhu coins of the Sui Dynasty were still used. However, since Luo Zhaoyun knew about the distribution areas of some copper ore and iron ore and sent people to mine, there was enough reserves in ore. In addition to weapon manufacturing, copper coins and iron coins, the circulation was also buffered.
Moreover, the money house of the United Chamber of Commerce was established, and the money was sold, which could be exchanged for copper coins, silver, gold, etc., which made the economic exchanges and circulation of the six counties play a good role in promoting the economic exchanges and circulation.
On this day, Luo Zhaoyun received two letters from Tuyuhun.
One letter was written by Li Jing to him, telling Luo Zhaoyun that the Tuyuhun troops are currently consolidated at 80,000, with strong soldiers and strong horses, guarding the border, monitoring the abnormal movements in Tubo and the Western Regions, and suppressing nearby rebellions.
Chang'an City sent an envoy to mobilize the troops and return to Guanlong to protect the security of Xijing, but Li Jing refused.
In the letter, Li Jing mentioned the situation in the world and advised him to go to Tuyuhun as soon as possible, accept the command of the frontier garrison, take the opportunity to raise an army, and then attack Xijing, imitate Cao Cao, and use the emperor to command the princes.
Luo Zhaoyun was a little moved. Most of the 80,000 soldiers on the border were soldiers trained by his generals five or six years ago. He had a certain relationship and could take over as soon as possible. Perhaps he could unexpectedly conquer Chang'an, take over Li Yuan one step ahead of him, seize Chang'an City, and disrupt the steps of Li family to seize the world.
"This is a good move. From the southwest border, garrison, reverse Guanlong, seize Chang'an, and be invincible!" Luo Zhaoyun pondered for a moment, affirmed this idea, which was very close to his original idea. However, he still couldn't move for the time being, and he had to wait for the opportunity. At least Li Yuan, Xue Ju, Li Gui, and Liu Wuzhou had to start a new army first so that he could just right it. Otherwise, Luo Zhaoyun would become the target of public criticism.
The second letter was written to him by Murong Ziyan. Last year, she took Suo Zhe back to the western part of Tuyuhun and gathered some of the Tuyuhun tribes. She had secretly supported Suo Zhe as the new Tuyuhun King. However, Suo Zhe was only eleven years old after all, so the decision-making power was in the hands of Murong Ziyan.
Through various skills, she combined the military tactics, thirty-six strategies, traitors and other books she learned in the Central Plains, became even more eccentric and versatile. She was like a fish in water when dealing with the simple and honest tribes on the grassland. She soon united a large force to eliminate dissidents, expand her troops, fight against the invasion of Tubo and avenge her father.
In the letter, Murong Ziyan asked for the support of the Sui border garrison, especially the help of Li Jing, Hou Junji, Guo Xiaoke and others, and sent troops to attack the Tubo army in Tuyuhun.
She had already seen clearly that the main generals of the border garrison seemed to obey Luo Zhaoyun's instructions, so she wrote a letter to ask for help.
Luo Zhaoyun once promised her to help her unify the tribe and deal with Tubo in exchange. At that time, he would need a top-class war horse in Tuyuhun, as well as cooperation, etc. So after reading the letter, he decided to let Li Jing decide and help Murong Ziyan within a certain limit.
"Li Yuan, Li Yuan, when did you start the army? This new beginning of chaos in the country will be kicked off. Once you are a thief in Sui, I will become famous for my army." Luo Zhaoyun smiled coldly and paid attention to the movements of the Li family in Jinyang.
