Battle for hegemony at the end of the Qin Dynasty in the military god system

Chapter 193 Xiang Yu Visits Liangshan City
After Xiang Yu and others repaired in Daoshu's military camp for a day, they set off for Liangshan City with Sha Pojun and others.Xiang Yu has been trying to repair the relationship with the generals of the Liangshan Army during this period. After some efforts, although he has not been completely forgiven by them, at least he will not give Xiang Yu a cold look.Xiang Yu was very pleased, at least he realized that if a person cannot properly maintain interpersonal relationships, and wants to repair them in the future, the price he will pay cannot be solved with a few nice words.

After two days of running around, everyone finally arrived at Liangshan City.When Xiang Yu and others came to Liangshan City for the first time, they were all amazed that there was such a big city in the world.Because the entrance is Liangshan Lake, Liangshan City built a large water village here. There is a large dock in the water village, and boats come and go, which is very lively.

Xiang Yu said with emotion: "There are so many people here!"

Sha Pojun proudly introduced: "This is the entrance of Liangshan City. This water village is connected to Liangshan City. It is the urn city of Liangshan City. It is also the first line of defense of Liangshan City. Liangshan's water army and some government servants are stationed inside. Troops. It can be said that if you want to attack Liangshan City, the first hurdle is Liangshan's water army. With the natural moat of Liangshan Lake, even if a large-scale enemy army invades, you don't have to worry about it."

Under the leadership of Sha Pojun, everyone finally saw the city wall of Liangshan City. There were all kinds of arrow towers and slinging equipment on it. There was also a moat outside the city. The suspension bridge and gate were all made of iron. At first glance, they looked like they were difficult to destroy. city ​​defense.To Xiang Yu and others, this Liangshan City is not like a county-level city at all, and these defensive methods are more abundant than Xianyang City.

Entering Liangshan City, Sha Pojun said with a smile: "This is the outer city of Liangshan City, and it is also where the people of Liangshan live. There are rich facilities here, such as taverns, teahouses, inns, markets, blacksmith shops, grocery stores, etc. We have everything, even Taoist temples, Confucian colleges and other buildings here. Of course, there are also military facilities. It is divided into four districts, east, west, south and north, which are respectively managed by the Sifang Yamen to manage public security, and the civil court is responsible for trying civil cases. There are also The largest military camp of the Liangshan Army is also in the outer city, and it takes you half a day to ride around the city."

Shu Suntong exclaimed in surprise: "It's so big!" After a pause, he asked: "I found that the pedestrians on the road are all in a hurry. Why?"

As soon as Shu Suntong said this, it also attracted the attention of other people, especially Xiang Liangjun's envoys. They came here to accompany Xiang Yu, and secondly, they also wanted to see the strength of Liangshan Army.Therefore, he is very concerned about the behavior of the residents of Liangshan City.

Sha Pojun smiled and explained: "Although Liangshan City has a lot of benefits, it also has requirements for every resident. Every industry in Liangshan forces needs people to manage and do it. Therefore, every resident is required to actively Participate in the operation of various industries. By participating in these industries, they can get paid and can exchange all items sold in Liangshan. Of course, every industry here is owned by Liangshan forces, and the products produced in it, such as food, clothes, and some iron Quality farm tools, swords and the like are all sold by the Liangshan commercial yamen, here, as long as you work hard, you will be warmly dressed, well fed, and even have rest days for some recreational activities.”

Shu Suntong was shocked when he heard this. He felt that Sha Pojun was vague. The system Liangshan currently operates seems to be a complete system, not only what Sha Pojun said, but also other aspects.He decided to discuss it with Sha Pojun at night. He was so interested in this system that he was not fascinated when Sha Pojun introduced other facilities in Liangshan City.

Xiang Liangjun's special envoys were overwhelmed by Sha Pojun's words. Is there really a place in this world where you can dress warmly and eat well?Even their senior generals have experienced times of starvation.

Although Xiang Yu had experienced a life of escape with his uncle Xiang Liang, he had never been hungry.However, I have seen many hungry people eat their children alive because of hunger.Hearing Sha Pojun say that Liangshan City can make everyone live comfortably as long as they work, he was very happy, and asked with a smile: "Brother, Liangshan City, can people really live comfortably?"

Sha Pojun's Liangshan City has only begun to take shape, and it will take a long time to work hard to achieve the real situation where everyone has no worries about food and clothing.In particular, the reputation of Liangshan City has spread, attracting many refugees to go there. Recently, this phenomenon has become more serious.As a result, the products produced in Liangshan City were in short supply, and there were even short-term shortages in clothing and food.

"My dear brother, you think too much. This model is still facing a lot of problems when it was first started. A large number of hungry people have flooded in, causing the food supply to be unable to keep up. These hungry people are thinking about easy jobs, such as city inspections, city management, and business operations. Etc. And those positions that require a lot of manpower are not wanted, such as quarry, logging, plantation, etc., these are the cornerstone of the city. So now we have enacted the law of urban construction, stipulating inspection and management of these easy For a position, you must prove that you have the ability in this area, and you must accept the review of a large jury before you can enter the job. A large number of refugees are encouraged to enter industries that need people, improve their benefits, and give them time to rest. But even In this way, people’s inertia still cannot be changed. Perhaps it is because the New Deal has not been implemented for a long time, and time will give us an answer.” Sha Pojun replied with a little disappointment. In his opinion, the implementation of the New Deal was entirely for the sake of Considering common people, it is a pity that nowhere can be exempted from the evil side of human nature.

Xiang Yu saw Sha Pojun's troubled look and replied with a smile: "Brother, you are a fan of the authorities. Now that these poor people are not oppressed by corvee, they will not take the initiative to make a living. Think about it, besides poor people and slaves, there are other people in this world There is a profession with a large number of people, and that is the knight-errant. These people are not engaged in production, they are idle all day long, talking about cats and dogs. Which one of them does not think that they can achieve great things. But it turns out that these people are mediocre and discerning monarchs. We will not give these people a chance, and they will end up dying in despair. If we want to change the current situation in Liangshan City, we can only be ruthless, implement a corvee system for civilians who are unwilling to work, and force them to do corvee forcefully."

After hearing Xiang Yu's words, Sha Pojun suddenly realized that he was too impatient, and these systems were simply not suitable for the current era.In this day and age, you are all living under the oppression of corvee. If you suddenly let them loose the bond of corvee, they will be at a loss and don’t know what to do. This is why many hungry people get food and clothing after , will choose to avoid the heavy work, you must know that doing things in Liangshan is much easier than Qin's corvee, and you can get paid after doing it, which is something they never dared to imagine before.Sha Pojun felt that since the New Deal had begun, it could not be abolished and changed day and night, which would make Liangshan forces lose their credibility.He thought about calling a group of ministers to discuss how to revise the New Deal when he went back, and to formulate a complete plan based on the current actual situation.
