Chapter 163

Zhao Tai frowned when he heard the news that there were not enough manpower.

"The army has been victorious in successive battles, and has captured half of Julu County. Zhao County has also taken down two cities in a row. Every time a city reaches a city, it must be replenished with troops. The total number of troops has exceeded [-]. Every city is under military control. How can it be Will there be a shortage of manpower?"

He has as many soldiers as he wants, if the requirements for soldiers have never been lowered, [-] is considered a small amount, and he can afford [-].

As long as the soldiers are tightly restrained, there will be no problems in the captured city in a short period of time. Under military control, he has actually tried his best to save civil servants one after another, just to avoid insufficient manpower. However, the result is still coming.

"My lord, in fact, the military control system has saved a lot of manpower. The money, food and materials were moved to the warehouse for guarding, and there was no time to count them. The reform steps were gradually followed by the local army."

"But military management can't do everything. The soldiers brought out from Changshan can still be used. After all, they can read and write. They can re-measure the fields and distribute them to the people. This workload is not ordinary. With the assistance of the army The processing is also progressing slowly, and the people elected through the imperial examination simply cannot meet such a big gap.”

Money, food and materials can be piled up first, and the same is true for cleaning up and calculating later. The selection of talents for the imperial examinations in various places can also keep the place running, but no amount of it will be enough.

In fact, there are not many people at the decision-making level, what is lacking is a large number of grassroots personnel, even if it is saved again and again, this gap will not be saved.

In an era of low literacy rates, this problem cannot be avoided at all.

The main reason is that Zhao Tai's system is too advanced and requires a lot of manpower, and the reform is not so easy to change.

After only laying down such a small territory, the shortcoming of Zhao Tai's talent reserve continued to magnify. If it was a land of one state, or a land of two states according to Xi Zhicai's plan, Zhao Tai really doubted his ability to manage it.

Is it too idealistic to be king based on the two states?

"Fortunately, I kept a hand, otherwise it would be embarrassing now."

no one available?It's impossible at this stage, after all, there are [-] spare officials hidden in Zhao Tai's Black Mountain, no matter how he planned it before, but now he doesn't care so much, use it first.

"Send a letter to Montenegro and ask them to call 1000 people out to listen. People with a high literacy rate and proficient in numeracy are enough, right?"

Zhao Tai looked at Feng Min, Jiang Kuang, and Xie Sheng. Whenever they said no, Zhao Tai couldn't help but crush them to death.

Half of the reserve talents were directly proposed, and Chang Shan didn't use that many people, so how could it be insufficient.

"Enough is enough, let alone one thousand, even five hundred is enough to keep the entire Julu and Zhao County in order, and one thousand is more than enough."

Isn’t it more than enough? Julu has fifteen counties, Zhao County has five counties, adding up to twenty counties, even if the 25 people are evenly distributed, there will be 25. If they take the lead in handling affairs, and let the army cooperate, as long as Zhao Tai doesn't do other things, [-] is enough, not to mention Zhao Tai also transferred [-].

The ancient times are not as good as the modern ones. In modern times, let alone 25 people, [-] people are not enough for a county. This is the gap of the times.

"That's enough, go and deliver the message."

The matter was solved by Zhao Tai in a few words, seemingly with great ease.

But if he hadn't done education beforehand, even if it was just some basic education, wouldn't he be caught blind now.

The root of solving the problem lies in preparation in advance. Otherwise, with the poor literacy rate of the Han Dynasty, even if he is full of advanced ideas and systems, no one can use it.

The talent gap has been temporarily resolved, but it has not been completely resolved, which is far from the expected level.

However, Zhao Tai's troops went out of Changshan, and they attacked the city like a broken bamboo all the way. The strength of the troops was like a snowball, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was only a matter of time before Zhao Tai swallowed the land of Jizhou.

The key is that the land that has been laid down is extremely stable, and the aristocratic family class has dissipated. This is the reason for the stability.

The army is completely controlled by Zhao Tai. There may be a lot of people from the aristocratic family mixed in, and it may cause a little trouble, but from the top up, these officers are all served by soldiers from Changshan. incite defection?Someone needs to be willing to follow them.

If you want status but no status, if you want money and food but no money and food, if you want influence but no influence, what will they use to make trouble for Zhao Tai.

It is impossible for them, who were beaten as civilians, to do the kind of thing that others occupied the city site in the past, and as long as they were upset, they could gather an armed force to seize control of the city.

Unless they can persuade those who have divided their fields to stand on their side, but this is not a joke. Dividing your things is inherently an antagonistic relationship, and it is absolutely impossible to make money with peace when it is about interests.

You said you want to have a good relationship with me, but I'm still not happy. There is no good relationship between enemies.

With the injection of 1000 people from Heishan, the management of the entire site was like adding key machine gears. The fall of Julu and Zhaojun was accelerating.

This kind of autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves made the imperial court uneasy. In less than two months, the two counties were completely captured.

No matter how fierce the resistance was during this period, it could not withstand the bombardment of explosives. The more important thing was that the imperial army had no intention of fighting, and it could even be said to be passive.

Zhao Tai's army is too fierce, on the one hand, they can't fight, on the other hand, the impact of the reforms on them is too great.

People regard soldiers as human beings and put the common people in the first place.

As for them, they won't get anything if they work hard, and they may get some rewards if they win, but that reward is not enough to stick their teeth between them.

Zhao Tai directly pays the army and distributes the land. No matter how much the imperial court rewards them, can they still distribute the land to them?
Of course, they can already get military pay. If they don't give military pay, they can't. If Zhao Taidu gives it to the court but doesn't, the gap in their hearts will only be bigger.

It can be said that Zhao Tai has changed many systems by himself, and it is impossible to divide the land, but the military salary is supported by the family, and he will give it as soon as he bites his teeth, and it will be more than Zhao Tai's, which is completely involved.

However, Zhao Tai will not follow them to increase the increase, and the reform will restore the freedom of the people. The division of land is something that the imperial court and aristocratic families can't afford, so they can only find a way in terms of military pay.

To say that the effect is still there, at least the soldiers are willing to sacrifice their lives, but in the face of absolute strength, to sacrifice their lives is really to lose their lives with money.

This has turned into an endless loop again, and how many people are willing to do things that cost their lives but spend their lives.

When Zhao Tai heard the news, he was still a little surprised. The recruitment system and military payment system that only existed in the Tang Dynasty were directly used in the Han Dynasty.

This is development, but this development is not good news for Zhao Tai.

It is not a good thing for the resistance to become stronger, it will kill people.

No matter what the ups and downs of the outside world are, Zhao Taicai stopped attacking after the two counties were captured.

It's not that the fight cannot be continued, but that it is unnecessary to continue the fight, or if the fight continues, the entire Central Plains may become a hell on earth.

It was spring plowing at this time, and whether the people could live to the next year depended on the grain grown this time.

If Zhao Tai continued to fight, of course he could get a bigger land, but he could delay farming, what would happen to the people who had no food at home, they would starve to death, and it would be a more serious human tragedy than during the Yellow Turban Uprising.

Zhao Tai has never forgotten what kind of life the people lived when he first came to this world. It was already miserable enough at that time, but now he finally survived to the time when he can farm and the world has stabilized and he can take a breather.

If the war is still going on, what if Zhao Tai lays down the territory and sees starving corpses everywhere?

He can help the people, but how long can he help? Is it one month or two months?That simply can't be helped.

Whenever there is a war, the time of farming will basically be avoided, unless it is a war against a foreign country.

The people will starve to death if there is no food, and if there are too many deaths, there will be a great epidemic, which is something no one wants to see.

You can capture a city at any time, but not at this time.

Anyway, even if the court was given time to prepare, he would not be Zhao Tai's opponent, so it's no big deal to slow down.

The capture of the two counties not only enlarged his territory, but also nearly doubled the number of troops, but the impact on Zhao Tai was actually not that great.

On the whole, it makes governance much more difficult, which is far from comparable to governing a Changshan county.

It can be said that compared with Changshan, the territory of the other two counties is similar to the primitive society.

The simplest thing is that Changshan has completed the planning of the hospital, and the school is about to start operation.

High-yield crops are used for cultivation, less than half of the agricultural tools have been replaced by iron products, and business is slowly recovering. This is a place with rapid development.

The other two counties have nothing at all. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are a desert, but if they want to turn them into a place as prosperous as Changshan, it will take a lot of effort.

If you manage the spring plowing well now, it will be considered a success. No matter how you develop, you must first keep your stomach free.

"Military division, the place has been defeated, and there will be no more military operations in a short time. As for the military division's previous statement of defending the Zhuohe River, it seems that it has become unnecessary. I don't want to fight them. , where does the imperial court have the guts to attack me?"

"Since there isn't much to do in the military, then the internal affairs need to be done more by military advisers. Julu, Zhao Jun, all waste is waiting to be done."

Zhao Tai spoke sincerely, as if he could do without Xi Zhicai.

But Xi Zhicai knew that it was Zhao Tai who wanted to dump the government affairs again, so could Xi Zhicai refuse?He couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Because just like Zhao Tai said, no one dares to attack his territory.

What is really difficult is governance, not siege of cities.

He had never seen this kind of reverse. When others fight a war, they don't worry about governing because they make good friends with the family, but they worry about how to win the battle.

When it came to Zhao Tai, it was completely reversed.

 Thanks to the readers: "The signal is not good and there is no book to read" for the reward.

  As usual, it will be added later, maybe tomorrow.
