Chapter 373 Shouchun Great Groundbreaking
In Shouchun, Yangzhou, under the witness of Lu Bu and Zhang Liao and others, Zhang Xiu's youngest son Zhang Lei finally worshipped King Liu Mang as his adoptive father. All kinds of etiquette and clothing were according to the standards of the princes. Shouchun was also very busy, and it also wiped out the shadow of the previous war.
Seeing Liu Mang accepting his adopted son, Lu Bu couldn't help but look a little strange. Lu Bu worshipped a lot of adopted fathers, Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, but none of these two had a good ending. They were all picked up by Lu Bu with a Fang Tian Painting Gaul. Lu Bu even had a title called Adoptional Father Killer, but now his son-in-law has accepted an adopted son, which has to make Lu Bu say that it is a fate to make people.
Etiquette is very complicated. After all, it is now ancient times. It cannot be exempted as Liu Mang said. Waiting for everything to be done, Zhang Lei knelt down and asked Liu Mang to call his adoptive father and serve tea and water. This was finally completed. Generally, adoptive fathers and adopted sons are divided into two types. The first is like Liu Bei's adopted son Liu Feng, whose original name was Kou Feng, who was not from the Liu family at all. Liu Bei had no sons. Then he got an adopted son from the Kou family. The Kou family also wanted to hold Liu Bei's thighs. After all, Liu Bei was over 40 years old. At this time, most families had several sons, and even the sons should be alone.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's sons were all over twenty years old, Cao Cao's son Cao Ang died in battle, and those who had daughters like Lu Bu had married, but Liu Bei still had no descendants. So Liu Bei couldn't help but worry about whether he could not give birth to a son, so he adopted an adopted son and let his adopted son live with him.
The ancients are different from modern people. They value their ancestors very much. Change surnames is equivalent to changing surnames, and they will not be buried in the royal family after death. However, Han clan relatives like Liu Mang are still noble as princes. If they really accept adopted sons, Zhang Lei should also change his surname and become Liu Lei, but Liu Mang still let Zhang Lei's surname Zhang, which is the second adopted son. Just like Lu Bu's view of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, such adopted sons have no inheritance rights. If he has inheritance rights, why did Lu Bu kill Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo? Neither of them have a son.
Liu Mang asked Zhang Lei to continue his surname to Zhang. One reason was that Zhang Lei and Zhang Xiu's only descendant were Zhang Xiu's only descendant. He can be regarded as the only descendant of the Zhang family. Zhang Ji's son killed Zhang Xiu's son Zhang Quan, and now there is only such a boy Zhang Lei left. Even though Liu Mang is an enemy of Zhang Xiu, he cannot cut off his descendants.
The second reason is that Zhang Lei will still be of great use in the future. Now it can be used to appease the newly joined Xiliang Iron Cavalry. After all, the Zhang Xiu's Zhang family still has prestige among the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Another reason is that there will be a good excuse for the war against Nanyang and even Jingzhou. That is, Zhang Xiu's death is used as a reason for starting the war. Zhang Xiu's son avenged Zhang Xiu, which is very at ease.
Finally all the red tape was over. Liu Mang gave Zhang Lei a book of the Analects and a long sword. This sword was also brought by Liu Mang from modern times. It was made of titanium alloy. The solidity of the material was not as strong as Liu Mang wearing the Aries Saint Clothes. Liu Mang gave these two things to mean that Zhang Lei could be literary and martial, literary and prosperous, and martial, and could be able to stabilize the country. Liu Mang's attention to Zhang Lei really made people all over the world admire him. Not only did he take in his enemies' descendants, but he also had such expectations for him. For the adoptive son, Liu Mang's reputation has been raised to a higher level. Ge Jun and Zhang Hu and others who knelt on the ground were also grateful. They regarded it as returning home.
A few days later in Shouchun, Lu Bu had something to deal with in Lujiang. Their army was dispatched. Although Jiangdong and Jingzhou started another war, it was inevitable that the clown could not think about it and jumped out to provoke. So Lu Bu stayed for a few days and set off. Gao Shun's camp of trap also left. Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry also went back with him. On the waterway, more than a dozen large ships in Shouchun were also delivered to Ganning. Ganning directly followed the Yingshui River to Hongze Lake, and then walked through Hongze Lake. Tu Tang was able to enter.
In the Yangtze River waters, then returned to the Lujiang Water Village. Thousands of craftsmen left with Gan Ning, who were the ones who maintained those warships. There were no navy troops on the Yingshui River that were Gan Ning's opponents, and only two thousand navy troops were left behind. This navy Liu Mang kept it to test sailing in Lujiang County and the new ship experimented in the captain in Shouchun, and was also preparing to train another navy! The wind and waves in the sea were much larger than rivers, and Liu Mang always needed to prepare to enter the sea.
Now there are only city management troops, black chess army, two main forces, and Zhao Yun's white horse Congyi and Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Each of the four soldiers is elite, but the white horse Congyi is still in the process of being formed, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is also under Zhang Liao's training. As for the troops and horses, Yiyang Wushu Wei Yan has already begun to be selected and is preparing to return to Shouchun, but Liu Mang asked him to stay in Guangzhou and obey Hao Shao's orders.
In the Shouchun meeting hall, a group of civil and military officials have already arranged their positions.
The leader was naturally Xu Shu, a military advisor from Yangzhou, and then Liu Ye. After all, the harder it was Jia Xu who was newly joined. Although Jia Xu may be better than Xu Shu, he still ranked third. It was not that Jia Xu did not fight, but that Jia Xu knew that his new joining was Qian Bo, and the most important thing was that the two of them had little good impression of him, Jia Xu. If Jia Xu fought for him now, he would only humiliate himself. After all, you, Jia Xu, had no help in joining Yangzhou, and it was already very good that you could stand in the third position without any credit.
Jia Xu was also very calm. He was not as incompatible as Sun Qian and Pang Tong in Liu Bei's army. In his opinion, gold would always shine.
Among the generals, Zhang Liao is the leader, because Zhang Liao is a veteran who has followed Lu Bu for a long time. Even if Lu Bu discusses affairs in Lujiang, then the first general is Zhang Liao, even Liu Mang, sometimes he has to give in to Zhang Liao, because Zhang Liao's strength is where, this person is not only a general, but also a general.
Then there were Cheng Yu, Xu Sheng and Zhao Yun, who were all the chief generals of the first army, and after them were their respective deputy generals Wang Wei, Huang Xu and others. Huang Xu's father, Huang Zhong, the second-strong military force in the Lu Bu army, did not rank the position because he was standing behind Liu Mang. Among the civil servants, there was another person who might stand before Xu Shu, and that was Yang Hong, but Yang Hong went to Lujiang to pick up Miss Lu and others.
"All people are here!" Liu Mang looked at his civil and military personnel, and except for Wei Yan and Hao Shao, they were basically all here. Even Zhang Hu, the Ge army of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, came to the main hall.
"My lord, all have arrived!" Xu Shu, as the head of civil servants, was also a figure in Yangzhou's military and political affairs besides Liu Mang.
"Okay! Promote the tent to discuss matters!" Liu Mang started to discuss matters immediately without being pretentious. The issue discussed this time was the future direction of Yangzhou. The battle of Yangzhou repelled Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu's coalition and defeated the conspiracy of the three families. However, Liu Mang's army also suffered a lot of losses, naturally needed to be re-planned.
"Yuanzhi, have you finished counting the Shouchun household registration?!" Liu Mang asked Xu Shu first.
"Report to the lord, the Shouchun household registration has been counted by using the lord's method. The rest of Guangzhou, Hefei and Lujiang are all on the way to choose a date!" Xu Shu said and handed Liu Mang a document. The number of registered people counted this time. If a modern person would be surprised if he could understand this document, he would be nonsense! Who can't understand Arabic numerals? The reason why the ancients were so troublesome was because their counting method was rather complicated, and it would be fine if they were less than ten. If hundreds of thousands were really caught, for example, the simple amount of food and grass, it might take half a day to order. What does Han Xin mean to order troops? It is just a person's ability to recognize numbers when taking the postgraduate entrance examination. Liu Mang looked at it and simply taught Arabic numerals.
Xu Shu got such a new set of arithmetic methods, and his efficiency increased immediately. The household registration in Shouchun was quickly checked to almost 240,000 households. Each household had about four to six people, and the total population was 1.12 million! As for the people in Guangzhou, Hefei, all the people in Guangzhou, Hefei, all had only tens of thousands, after all, large-scale people were all in Shouchun.
One million, one hundred and twenty thousand is not a small number. A great man once said that to apply the words of this great man, no matter how small a number is, multiplying one million is a very large number, and no matter how small a problem is, it is also a huge problem.
Liu Mang is now considering the issue of food, clothing, housing and transportation for this million people. Everyone eats a pound of rice a day, which is one million pounds a day. People have sent money to buy food and grass. Now it is housing and transportation.
"Lord! The first batch of cement houses have moved into the people." Xu Shu reported to Liu Mang that the first batch of cement houses began to be built before Liu Mang left Shouchun. At that time, millions of people were divided into 10,000 teams by Liu Mang, and went to open mountains and split stones to find lime to make cement.
"How is the quality of the first batch of houses?!" Liu Mang wanted to ask this question. Most of the ancients were wooden houses. Wooden houses were not only low when built, but also particularly prone to fires. Once ignited, most of the city would be burned down, so it was terrible to fire. And using cement to make it, it cannot be said that fires would be avoided, at least it would not be so terrifying when burned. Moreover, cement houses were also dry, and there were many trees in Huainan area, which were very wet. Those wooden houses had lived for a long time and could not stand it.
"Sturdy and stable!" Xu Shu used these four words to answer Liu Mang's words. This cement is really a good thing. Generally, building a house requires a lot of wood. It is impossible to cut down the wood until it is successful in a few months. However, this cement house can be completely started in about half a month, and then it will be able to live in a while. The quality is much stronger than some wooden fences.
"Okay, this is the best! One hundred thousand people are proudly resettled!" Liu Mang nodded. The cement house not only saves resources, but also is good for Liu Mang's future expansion of Shouchun. The wooden house is messy when it is built. Your house is built like this and my house covers a lot of land, but this cement house can be fully planned.
"Haha, lord, this is not a hundred thousand people, 400,000 people are proud to stay!" Xu Shu shook his head and said with a smile at Liu Mang.
"Four hundred thousand?!" Liu Mang was stunned for a moment. He remembered that he had built 30,000 houses for each house so that three to four people could live in, because Liu Mang could not be sure whether these houses were strong, but now he had settled 400,000 yuan at once. Liu Mang was stunned for a moment.
From Xu Shu's explanation, Liu Mang realized that he really underestimated the ancients' hard-working ability. Originally, the square of fifty squares was stuffed into dozens of people by themselves! For the people, as long as there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
"The second batch of houses is built as soon as possible, so don't let the people sleep in the open again and live in tents!" Some people still live in tents because many houses were originally guarding the city in Shouchun were demolished, and it is difficult to resettle how big the people are.
"Lord, it's easy to build a house, but this cement!"
Chapter completed!
