After Kuaiji and Yuzhang recruited nearly two million Shanyue people, Wu County and Danyang County also followed suit and recruited a group of Shanyue people. However, there were not many Shanyue people in these two places, and their population did not grow much.
In this way, Yangzhou¡¯s population soared to five million. With two kinds of food, sweet potatoes and corn, Liu Ke didn't panic at all.
However, the governors in various places are so busy that they can¡¯t live in thatched huts all the time when the population is too large. Moreover, there is not enough land for cultivation, so land reclamation has become a top priority.
As soon as Liu Ke returned to Dongyang, Lu Su came to complain.
¡°My lord, we can¡¯t approve any more, the treasury is about to run out of money.¡±
????????? This is the truth if you don¡¯t know how expensive firewood and rice are.
When Liu Ke saw that there were so many poor people in Kuaiji and Yuzhang counties, he kept allocating funds.
Lu Su felt miserable, so Liu Ke signed, and the document was finally handed over to him. He saw that all the wealth he had finally accumulated was lost.
That feeling can be imagined.
"We are all engaged in construction, what can we do without money!" Liu Ke said irresponsibly.
Lu Su couldn¡¯t help but murmur that these investments would not be able to be earned back without two years of taxes.
"I really have no money"
"If you don't have money, go to Zhao Yu and ask for it. You should have some wealth." Liu Kedao.
"But didn't my lord separate the Liu family and the Yangzhou treasury?" Lu Su asked confused.
"Is it okay to issue an IOU? When the treasury has money, we can just pay it back." Liu Kedao.
"Isn't it too embarrassing?" Lu Su said cautiously.
"I moved from the left pocket to the right pocket, who dares to gossip?" Liu Ke said domineeringly.
Isn¡¯t it enough to spend your own money?
What¡¯s more, I even issued an IOU.
"Besides, after the Liu family bought some land, their business did not expand much, and they still had some savings.
The most important thing is that he wants to expand his army and has no money to play tricks!
Going to Kuaiji with only 20,000 troops was a last resort. Who wouldn¡¯t want to go out with hundreds of thousands of troops to show off his power?
Expanding the army is always the first thing to do after a full meal. Therefore, when Liu Ke's order to expand the army was issued, no one objected.
First, let¡¯s talk about the garrison forces in various places. Since the number of troops deployed was 10,000, they couldn¡¯t suppress even a single rebellion. How could this work?
Zhang Zhao, the prefect of Kuaiji, led the army to supervise Guan Hai, and the garrison expanded to 30,000.
Zhang Hong, the prefect of Yuzhang, and Liao Hua, the military commander, expanded the garrison to 30,000.
Zhou Xin, the prefect of Wu County, and Mi Fang, the military commander, expanded the garrison to 20,000.
Yu Fan, the prefect of Danyang, led the army to command Zangba, and the garrison expanded to 20,000.
Zhuge Jin, the governor of Lujiang, and Lu Fan, the military commander, expanded the garrison to 30,000.
Mi Zhu, the prefect of Jiujiang, led the military commander Gan Ning, and the garrison expanded to 30,000 + 30,000 naval troops.
Lu Su, the governor of Guangling, had a garrison of 50,000.
In this way, a total of 210,000 defenders were raised. Coupled with the growth of population and the accumulation of people's wealth, there is no problem in raising these troops through taxation in various places.
Even more troops can be raised, but Liu Ke considers productivity, how can he do coolies without men?
To be honest, these defenders usually shoulder the heavy responsibility of farming, so they are not really regular troops.
Among them, the biggest personnel change was in Lujiang. Liu Ke boldly appointed a young prefect, Zhuge Jin. His ability was sufficient and he was fully qualified.
And Xun You has long wanted to return to the center. To be honest, he is more suitable for conspiracy.
The same goes for Gao Shun. He didn't want to stay where he was and strongly demanded to return to the team, so Liu Ke directly appointed Lu Fan.
Lu Fan performed well in the fight against Shanyue and made great contributions. He would not have been promoted to such a high level all of a sudden, but he was lucky.
Sometimes, luck is really unpredictable.
The next step is the reform of important corps. Liu Ke planned to let the cavalry form a separate army, so he divided it into the Tiger Guard Army, Dongyang Army, and Yangzhou Cavalry Army.
To be honest, Liu was very proud that a southern regiment could develop such strong cavalry.
The commander of the Tiger Guard is still Zhao Yun, and he has three captains: Chen Heng, Zhang Ying, and Fan Neng. This time, the army has been expanded to 50,000 people, with mixed arms.
The commander of the Yangzhou cavalry is Tai Shici, and the deputy commander is Zhang He. This expansion of the army is 50,000, of which 5,000 are heavy cavalry and the rest are light cavalry.
Liu Ke personally served as the commander-in-chief of the Dongyang Army, including two commanders of the Shesheng Battalion.In addition to bows and arrows and Yuanrong's crossbows, they are also responsible for catapults, well rails and crossbows. The crossbow is a new weapon in Iron Ox City. It uses a crossbow arrow that is about the same thickness as a spear. It is very powerful and can directly break through the wooden city gate or embed it in the city wall.
Shesheng camp is still under the command of Huang Zhong.
There are 10,000 people in the Guards Battalion, led by Dian Wei. He has complained for a long time because there are more people and it is difficult to take the lead.
" Equally depressed is Gao Shun, who is trapped in the camp. His troops have also expanded to 10,000. For him, this is a huge challenge. I hope he will not be in a hurry when commanding.
As for Lu Bu, Liu Ke gave him a fatal order to train the Cavalry. His unit was directly named the Cavalry Battalion, with a strength of 10,000.
Zhang Liao was also a cavalryman and commanded a battalion of ten thousand wolf cavalry.
Counting Gan Ning¡¯s 30,000 navy troops, the Dongyang Army has a total strength of 90,000 troops.
Liu Ke plans to go out on his own when the navy army matures, and he will still be under the name of Dongyang Army for now.
Calculated in this way, with 210,000 defenders + 190,000 regular troops, Yangzhou¡¯s total military strength reached 400,000, making it one of the most powerful forces in the world.
Dong Zhuo smiled slightly at this. Some time ago, he absorbed Ding Yuan's troops and forcibly captured strong men. Luoyang's troops had reached a terrifying half million.
This is only the strength of one city. If we add his troops staying in Xiliang and Chang'an, I don't know how much it can reach.
In short, I just can¡¯t afford to offend him.
There are many new recruits in Liu Ke¡¯s camp, so he plans to train them for a while and does not plan to start another war.
Yangzhou must take some time to digest the current harvest, whether it is livestock or population.
With enough manpower and animal power, Liu Ke naturally built roads with great fanfare.
Now he doesn¡¯t have the ability to build the Yangtze River Bridge, otherwise he would really have to give it a try.
But with Gan Ning¡¯s navy, water transportation is still not a problem.
Liu Ke could clearly feel the rapid development of business, which is why he was so eager to build roads.
The current situation is that roads cannot keep up with the development of business. Their caravans traveled to all parts of the country, even if they were bandits, they were still polite.
Who doesn¡¯t know the famous Dongyang Hou?
He saved the world from danger, defeated the Karasuma Iron Cavalry, gathered so many refugees, and even donated sweet potato and corn seeds for free
The literati said that their blank pages were no longer enough to write the glorious deeds of Dongyang Hou.
Even the paper is produced in Dongyang, not to mention some books.
Nowadays, as long as the books in the world are certified by both Cai Yong and the Dongyang government, one thousand copies can be printed for free. If it is an only copy, it will be even more extraordinary. Marquis Dongyang will give you money and beg you to print it.
"Moreover, Dongyang Hou respected Confucianism and opened academies everywhere.
After these many measures, all the literati in the world were subdued, and few criticized Dongyang Hou.
I heard that there was a short-sighted guy who scolded the Marquis of Dongyang for seven days and seven nights. He vomited blood and died of shame.
Leaving aside the cultural aspect, even farmers say Dongyang Hou is good. Especially in Jingzhou and Xuzhou, we often see craftsmen wearing cow head costumes building barrel carts everywhere and irrigating farmland for free.
¡°Although they later sold the Quyuan Li, they only earned some hard money.
Just like that, the word cow became completely popular. People who praise you say "you are so awesome" and "you are awesome", while those who are more rude just call "you are awesome".
Liu Ke was quite speechless about this. I just asked you to build up the brand effect, and I didn¡¯t ask you to brag everywhere.
¡°In this way, the residents of the three states are as good as wearing a pair of pants. Liu Ke unknowingly completed product dumping, involving all aspects of the industry, such as food, furniture, silk, etc.
As for the two state governors' desire to purchase a batch of armaments, Liu Ke refused on the grounds that they did not have enough.
Now that there are so many military expansions, where can I find the time to build them for you?
Our own defenders don¡¯t have enough old equipment to take care of you.
The reason why Liu Biao and Tao Qian were so jealous was because at the beginning of spring, Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, used 10,000 cavalry to defeat Karasuma and 30,000, causing the opponent to throw a rat weapon.
And Liu Yan only had the 3,000 heavy armor gifted by Liu Ke. He was so awesome. If he was equipped with 30,000 pieces of armor, wouldn't he be invincible?
Liu Ke could only say to them, go home and dream.
There is another happy event, that is, the expansion of Dongyang City has finally been completed. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
