During Shouchun in Yangzhou, under the witness of Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others, Zhang Lei, the youngest son of Zhang Xiu, finally paid homage to Shu Wang Liu Mang's adoptive father. Busy, but it also swept away the shadow of the previous war.
Seeing Liu Mang accepting his adoptive son, Lu Bu couldn't help but look a little weird, he had quite a few adoptive fathers, Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, but none of these two ended well, and they were all beaten by Lu Bu. The painting halberd was chosen, and Lu Bu even had the title of foster father killer, but now his son-in-law has accepted a foster son, which has to be said by Lu Bu to be a trick of good fortune.
Etiquette is very cumbersome. After all, it is ancient times, and it cannot be exempted as Liu Mang said. After everything is done, Zhang Lei knelt down and asked Liu Mang to bring tea to his foster father. After that, it was finally completed. Generally, there are two types of adoptive fathers and adoptive sons. The first type is like Liu Bei’s adoptive son Liu Feng, whose original name is Kou Feng. He is not from the Liu family at all. Liu Bei has always been childless, so he got a adoptive son from the Kou family. The Kou family also hugged Liu Bei's thigh. After all, Liu Bei is over forty. At this time, most families have several sons, and even sons should be alone.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's sons are in their twenties, Cao Cao's son Cao Ang died in battle, and those like Lu Bu who have daughters are also married, but Liu Bei still has no heirs, so Liu Bei does not think he is It's not that he was worried about not being able to have a son, so he adopted a foster son and let the foster son and his life live together.
The ancients are different from the modern people. The ancestors value the surname very much. Changing the surname is equivalent to changing the clan. They will not be buried in the clan after death. And the Han family clan like Liu Mang belonged to noble princes and kings. If he really adopted a son, this Zhang Lei should also change his surname to Liu Lei, but Liu Wei still let Zhang Lei be named Zhang. This is the second kind of son, just like Lu Bu looked at Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo. This kind of adopted son has no inheritance rights, if he has inheritance rights. Lu Buhe wanted to kill Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, but neither of them had any sons.
Liu Wei let Zhang Lei continue to be named Zhang. One reason is that Zhang Lei is the only heir of Zhang Xiu, and can be regarded as the only descendant of the Zhang family. Zhang Ji's son killed Zhang Xiu's son Zhang Quan, and now only Such a kid is Zhang Lei, even though Liu Mang and Zhang Xiudi can't cut off their heirs.
The second reason is that Zhang Lei will still be of great use in the future, and can be used to appease the newly joined Xiliang cavalry. Nanyang went to war. There is even a very good excuse for starting a war against Jingzhou, and that is to use Zhang Xiu's death as a reason to start the war. Zhang Xiu's son Zhang Xiu took revenge, which is very reassuring.
Finally all the red tape was over, and Liu Mang gave Zhang Leiyi a long sword from the Analects of Confucius. This long sword was also brought by Liu Mang from modern times. It was made of titanium alloy, and the material was not as strong as Liu Mang's body. Under the Aries Saint Cloth, Liu Mang sent these two things to represent that he wanted Zhang Lei to be able to write and fight, to prosper the country with literature, and to stabilize the country with martial arts. The importance Liu Mang attaches to Zhang Lei really impresses everyone in the world. Not only did he take in the heir of his enemy, but he also had such expectations for him. After accepting his adopted son, Liu Mang's reputation has now risen to a higher level. Ge Jun, Zhang Hu and others who fell on the ground were also grateful, and looked at their hearts.
A few days after Shouchun, Lu Bu still had something to deal with in Lujiang, and their army was dispatched. Although Jiangdong and Jingzhou were at war again, it was inevitable that there would be no jumping clown who couldn't think of jumping out to provoke, so Lu Bu stayed for a few days before leaving. Gao Shun's trapped camp also left, and Bingzhou wolf riders also went back together. On the waterway, a dozen large ships from Shouchun were also handed over to Gan Ning, and Gan Ning headed directly to Hongze along the Yingshui River. Go forward to the lake, then go to Hongze Lake, pass Tutang on the way, enter the waters of the Yangtze River, and then return to the Lujiang Water Village. There are thousands of craftsmen who leave with Gan Ning, who maintain the warships. There are no sailors on the Yingshui River that are Gan Ning's opponents, and the remaining 2,000 sailors are better than nothing. This sailor Liu Mang just keeps it and goes to try it out in Lujiang County and among the captains of Shouchun. The new ship, and prepare to train another navy out! The wind and waves in the sea are much stronger than the rivers, Liu Mang always needs to be prepared if he wants to enter the sea.
In Shouchun now, there are only the urban management army, the black chess army, two main forces, and Zhao Yun's white horse Congyi and Xiliang cavalry. Each of the four soldiers and horses is an elite, but the white horse Congyi is also In the process of formation, Xiliang cavalry is also under the training of Zhang Liao. As for another soldier, Ma Yiyang, Wei Yan has already begun to be selected, and he is also preparing to return to Shouchun, but Liu Mang let him stay in Guangzhou for a generation to obey Hao Shao dispatched.
In the Shouchun meeting hall, all civil and military personnel have already arranged their positions.
The leader is naturally Xu Shu, the military adviser of the entire Yangzhou, followed by Liu Ye, and then the newly joined Jia Xu. Although Jia Xu may be better than Xu Shu in terms of experience and resourcefulness, he still ranks third. It's not that Jia Xu doesn't want to fight, but that Jia Xu knows that his newcomer is more powerful than Qian Bo, and the most important thing is that the first two people don't have a good impression of Jia Xu. If Jia Xu goes to fight now, then he will You will only humiliate yourself. After all, you, Jia Xu, joined Yangzhou with no help, and no credit. Being able to stand in the third position is already very good.
Jia Xu is also very indifferent, he is not like Sun Qian and Pang Tong in Liu Bei's army. In his opinion, gold always shines.
Among the generals, Zhang Liao is the first, because after all, Zhang Liao is a veteran who has followed Lu Bu for a long time. Even if Lu Bu discusses affairs in the Lujiang River, Zhang Liao is the number one general. Even Liu Mang sometimes has to give way to Zhang Liao Because of Zhang Liao's strength, this person is not only a general, but also handsome.
After that, Cheng Yu, Xu Sheng, and Zhao Yun were tied together. After all, they were the chief generals of the first army, and behind them were their respective lieutenants Wang Wei, Huang Xu and others. And Huang Xu's father, Huang Zhong, the second most powerful soldier in Lu Bu's army, did not go to line up because he was standing behind Liu Mang, and there was one other civil servant who might stand in front of Xu Shu, and that was Yang Hong. But Yang Hong went to Lujiang to pick up Miss Lu and others.
"Everyone is here!" Liu Wei looked at his group of civil and military personnel. Except for Wei Yan and Hao Shao, basically everything is complete. Even Ge Jun Zhang Hu of Xiliang Iron Cavalry came to the main hall.
"My lord, we are all here!" Xu Shu, the head of civil servants, was also a figure caught by Yangzhou's military and government besides Liu Mang.
"Okay! Raise the account and discuss the matter!" Liu Mang immediately discussed the matter without being pretentious. The issue discussed this time was the future direction of Yangzhou. The loss is not small and naturally requires re-planning.
"Yuanzhi, can you complete the statistics of Shouchun household registration?!" Liu Mang asked Xu Shu who was on the side first.
"My lord, use the lord's method. Shouchun's household registration has been counted, and the rest of Guangzhou, Hefei, and Lujiang are all on the way and will arrive at a certain date!" Xu Shu said, and handed a letter to Liu Mang, which is this The number of household registrations counted this time, if a modern person sees this copybook, he will be surprised, because he can understand it, nonsense! Who can understand Arabic numerals! The reason why the ancients were so troublesome in counting is because their counting methods are relatively cumbersome, within ten is fine, if it is hundreds or thousands, it is really blind. For example, it may take a long time to order as much food and grass as there are troops. What is Han Xin's order of soldiers! It is just a test of a person's ability to read numbers. Liu Mang looked at the cumbersomeness, so he simply taught the Arabic numerals.
Xu Shu obtained such a new set of calculation methods, and his efficiency increased immediately. Shouchunzhong's household registration was quickly checked, and there were almost 240,000 households, and each household had four to six people. The total population is 1.12 million! As for the people in Gwangju, Hefei, there are only a few tens of thousands in total. After all, a large number of people are in Shouchun.
1.12 million, this 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 multiplied by 1 million, it is still a very large number. Multiply the problem by a million and that's a huge problem.
What Liu Mang is thinking about now is the food, clothing, housing and transportation of this million people. If each person eats a catty of rice a day, that is a million catties a day. The problem of food and grass has been sent to withdraw money to buy it everywhere, and now it is housing.
"My lord! The first batch of concrete houses have already lived in the common people," Xu Shu reported to Liu Mang. The first batch of cement houses started to be built before Liu Mang left Shouchun. At that time, there were millions of people. The surname was divided into teams of ten thousand by Liu Mang, and they went to open mountains and split rocks to find lime and make cement.
"How was the quality of the first batch of houses?!" Liu Mang wanted to ask this question. The ancients had many wooden houses. Not only were wooden houses built low, but they were also particularly vulnerable to fire. Once ignited, most of the city would be destroyed. It will be followed by being burned, so a fire escape is very scary. And making it with cement can't be said to avoid fire, at least it won't be so terrible when it burns. Moreover, the concrete houses are also dry. In the Huainan area, there are many forests and rain, which are very humid. Those wooden houses have been lived for a long time, and they really can't stand it.
"Sturdy and stable!" Xu Shu answered Liu Mang's words with these four words. This cement is really a good thing. Generally, a lot of wood is needed to build a house. It is impossible to cut down the wood until the construction is successful within a few months, but this cement house can be completely dry in about half a month. It will be able to live in after a while, and the quality is much stronger than some wooden fences.
"Okay, this is the best way! Hundreds of thousands of people are happy to settle!" Liu Mang nodded. The cement house not only saves resources, but also is good for Liu Mang's future extension of life. The wooden house is easy to build. It is messy, your house is built like this and mine is built like that, it takes up a lot of land, but this cement house can be completely planned.
"Hehe, my lord, this isn't one hundred thousand people, four hundred thousand people are happy to stay here!" Xu Shu shook his head and said to Liu Mang with a smile.
"400,000?!" Liu Mang was stunned for a moment, he remembered that he had built 30,000 houses, and each house accommodated three to four people, because Liu Mang couldn't be sure whether these houses were strong or not, but now All of a sudden, 400,000 yuan was placed, and Liu Mang was stunned on the spot.
From Xu Shu's explanation, Liu Mang realized that he really underestimated the ability of the ancients to bear hardships and stand hard work. The original fifty square meters were abruptly stuffed into dozens of people by the people themselves! For the common people, as long as there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, it is enough.
"Build the second batch of houses as soon as possible, and don't let the people live in tents anymore!" Difficult to place.
"Master, it is easy to build a house, but this cement!" (To be continued...)
