Chapter 164

(wrong statement: previously, it was written that the kuiji Prefecture was located in Wu County, but it was wrong here. Wu County belonged to Wu County. In the early Eastern Han Dynasty, the kuiji Prefecture was really Wu County. Later, it was divided into Wu County and kuiji county. The kuiji Prefecture moved southward to Shanyin County, now Shaoxing, Zhejiang.)

I'm sorry for the mistake, but I'll change it now

Zhang Yu also wondered why people in Wu County were so busy.

Zhang Yu took the team South to Kuaiji county.

"Quick, quick, line up and come one by one."

"Everyone gets two big cakes first, and they can get food along the way. When they get to Kuaiji County, they still have food to eat."

"Don't crowd, line up and go to Kuaiji county together."

Zhang Yu saw a lot of people, about a thousand people, in an open space, where people organized the distribution of food.

Zhang Yu also heard about Kuaiji County several times, which is obviously related to Kuaiji county.

Zhang Yu dismounted and walked over.

"What are you doing, little brother?" Zhang Yu asked.

"Hey, you don't look like a refugee, are you passing by. This is where we recruit refugees in Kuaiji county. For those refugees who are willing to go to Kuaiji County, we will arrange food along the way so that they can reach Kuaiji county. " The man answered Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu nodded to himself. He insisted on recruiting refugees. It seems that Zhang Zhao and his family are doing it all the time.

Zhang Yu did not continue to disturb, with people continue to move forward.

On the way, Zhang Yu saw several places to recruit refugees.

Kuaiji county is the largest county in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it has a small population and needs a large population.

Two days later, Zhang Yu arrived in Shanyin county.

"Lord, this is Kuaiji county. It's not very desolate here." Dian Wei has heard Zhang Yu say that there are no 200000 people in this county. The land is large and the population is sparse.

Zhang Yu naturally knows what happened in Kuaiji County before.

Now they see many residential areas along the road. Some people are reclaiming wasteland and preparing to plant crops.

"It seems that Zibu's achievements are great. They may have recruited refugees more than I expected." Zhang Yu said expectantly.

"Let's go to the sheriff's house and see what our territory has changed now." Zhang Yu said happily, and urged the horses to speed up.

Entering the county, there are many more people on the street, but it's no exaggeration.

Speed up the pace, Zhang Yu to the sheriff's house.

"My Lord, my Lord is back. Go and tell you."

Just outside the sheriff's house, a soldier recognized Zhang Yu.

These soldiers were brought back by Zhang Yu from Guangzong city. They all knew Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu takes Dian Wei in. The other soldiers are tired all the way and arrange for them to go to the barracks to rest.

"See you, my Lord."

Xi Zhicai, Zhang Zhao and Xiang Heng are in the list. They quickly meet Zhang Yu.

Ling Cao, Zhou Cang and others are training in the barracks, but not in the prefecture.

"When I'm away, it's hard for you to go in and talk." Zhang Yu picked up several subordinates and went in together.

"Zibu, let's talk about what kind of situation Kuaiji county is now." Zhang Yu is looking forward to the changes of Kuaiji.

Zhang Zhao first sorted out his thoughts, then saluted the crowd and said, "Lord, the biggest change is the population. Before, the population of Kuaiji county was less than 200000, but now there are more than 500000 people. The population of each county has been greatly enriched."

Zhang Yu nodded and said happily, "you have done a good job. On the way back, I also saw you set up places to recruit refugees. Population is the foundation of a place. To develop, there must be enough population."

Several people agree.

Zhang Zhao added: "Lord, although we have a population of more than 500000, the population of Kuaiji county is too small. In addition, now that the war is over, there are fewer and fewer refugees. It won't be long before we can increase the population by recruiting refugees. "

"Don't worry about it. I will solve the problem of population. Now the refugees are recruited. Can they be resettled? How about the burden of the county?"

Population growth is a good thing, but it's no use if they can't be well resettled.

Zhang Zhao went on to report that: "Lord, all the refugees have been properly resettled, but a lot of money and food have been consumed. If the Lord hadn't captured so much in the battlefield, I'm afraid our county would not be able to operate."

Zhang Zhao finished and simply compared Zhang Yu's account.

If 300000 refugees are recruited and each of them spends 100 copper coins for resettlement, it will cost 30 million yuan.

It's still as economical as possible.

These refugees need to eat and drink along the road. When they get to the place, they need to build houses for them, and they need to produce farm tools and seeds for them.

So it's very, very little that everyone spends an average of 100 copper dollars.

"Lord, now our county's finance is almost bottoming out. The tax revenue is only a few hundred thousand copper dollars a year, which is not enough for the county's spending in a few days." Zhang Zhao said.

Zhang Yu suddenly felt that it would cost so much to run a site.

The recruitment of 300000 people made Zhang Yu spend all the tens of millions he earned on the battlefield.

However, Zhang Yu is not very worried about money. He has a system. Although he feels that it is a great loss to exchange points for money, he can only do so when there is no way.

Then Zhang Yu learned about all aspects of Kuaiji county.

After understanding, Zhang Yu felt that there was a long way to go to run Kuaiji county.

First of all, the income of Kuaiji county is just a little agricultural tax. Now Zhang Yu has to raise soldiers and horses. That money is only enough to raise soldiers and horses. There is no extra money for development.

At this time, Zhang Yu needs a lot of money to invest.

"Well, I've got a general idea of the situation. Now I'm going to assign some tasks for you to arrange immediately." Zhang Yu said.

Several people are sitting in the right seat, ready to listen to Zhang Yu's arrangement.

"Next, we have an important thing to do, which is to set up counties. The more, the better. If there are conditions, we will set up counties. If there are no conditions, we will create conditions." Zhang Yu said.

A few people wonder, Zhang Yu this is to make which, Zhang Yu unexpectedly suddenly proposed to set up a county.

"Lord, we set up the county without permission. Is that the imperial court?" Xiang Heng reminds us.

Zhang Yu raised his hand to stop it, and then said, "the imperial court doesn't have to worry. No one will come to us for trouble. Besides, we set it up in private, and we don't report it to the imperial court."

"Lord, now our population and talents are there. Setting up redundant counties is not only meaningless, but also a waste of resources." Said Xi Zhicai.

Zhang Yu didn't answer Xi Zhicai's question, but said: "it's very important to set up a county. Head Xiang, you have to arrange it. Now I'm short of talents here. How many Xiang people can be arranged to manage a county?"

Xiang Heng stroked his beard and began to calculate.

The reason why Zhang Yu set up a large number of counties is very simple. There are four times that he has not exchanged rewards for the basic population.

According to the rules of the system, each county increases its population by 1000.

At present, there are only 15 counties in Kuaiji County, which can increase the population by 15000.

It's too few. If Zhang Yu sets up more counties, he can get more people.
