Rebirth: I’m Lv Bu

Chapter 413: Population at the end of Han Dynasty

Ellen waved his hand and said, "I really can't stay here anymore, so I have asked Dian Wei to move my bedding and salute to the barracks!" Then he scolded himself, "It's really a world wonder!" I was forced to move by his captives!" Xu Shu couldn't help but smile.

Ai Lang suddenly asked curiously: "Old Xu, do you have any intention of shutting Sun Ren here?" Quickly clasped his fist and said, "Please allow the subordinates to sell the pass. It won't be long before the lord will understand. "

Ailang felt that this matter was a trouble, so he let Xu Shu worry about it, why bother himself, when he thought of it, he couldn't help saying: "Let's do it with you." Then he thought of Sun Jian and said, "Old Xu, Sun Jian and they all retreated. Yuzhang, I always think this is a trouble...." Xu Shu nodded and said: "Sun Jian and others are naturally troubles, but we can't go south to eliminate them completely for the time being. According to the scout's return, let's go to Yuzhang, the mountains and rivers are steep and thorny. Congsheng, most of our troops are soldiers from the north. During this period of time, we went to the east of the Yangtze River to fight. There were not a few officers and soldiers who fell sick and fell ill. Looking at this situation, if we go south, I am afraid that they will be completely dragged by the water and soil here. It broke down. The army urgently needs to rest and cannot fight anymore. This is the first and the second. Sun Jian has set up several dangerous checkpoints on the only way to Yuzhang from then on. It is not easy to attack in haste. Now the new civilians in the four counties of Jiangdong are still unstable. If they continue to go south with quick success and instant benefits, they may cause unpredictable changes. If they rush south and lose in battle, the consequences will be even more unimaginable."

After hearing Xu Shu's analysis, Ailang couldn't help but dispel the idea of ​​continuing to go south to Yuzhang.

Xu Shu said: "Today's work is still adapted to stabilize Jiangdong. As for the remnants of Sun Jian, it will not be too late for the remnants of Sun Jian to conquer when the opportunity is right in the future. Lord, in order to fight in the vast south in the future, the subordinates think they should consider It’s time for the people from the south to form a soldier and horse!” Ai Lang suddenly moved his heart and praised; “Old Xu’s suggestion is good! I didn’t even think of it! Since we northern sergeants can’t adapt to the southern climate, use Southern The people of China have formed an army dedicated to fighting in the south! That’s good!” Then he said to Xu Shu, “Old Xu, this matter is up to you and Wen Yuan to discuss it. We must proceed as soon as possible. I hope this army can do it as soon as possible. Chengjun! If you need anything, just speak up!" "Yes! Thank you lord!"

Ai Lang remembered something and quickly asked: "By the way, how many people are there in our newly occupied four counties?" Xu Shu clasped his fist and said, "This matter is about to be reported to the main public. According to the recent household registration, the population of the four counties It's about 2.5 million. The exact number is still being counted, and it will be reported to the lord in the near future...." Ai Lang looked happy, it seemed that the number of people exceeded his expectations. It’s no wonder that although Ailang is Lu Bu’s body, but his soul comes from modern society almost two thousand years later. In his era, whether it is a history book, an expert or a film and television drama, they all vowed to say that the population of this era is less than Ten million, so in Ailang's subconscious mind, there is always a fear of insufficient population in the newly occupied areas. Before launching the war of crossing the river, he thought that the population of the four counties of Jiangdong might be less than 1.5 million. Now that I heard that the actual number was almost twice what I thought, I was naturally overjoyed.

In fact, the claim that the population in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was only less than 10 million has been questioned by more and more people after entering the 21st century. Most people believe that the population in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was less than one thousand. Wan is unlikely, and thinks that there should be a population of about 30 million or more to be more agreeable. As for the reason for the sparse population of registered households in historical books, many people believe that the collapse of the central government led to the loss of household registration and the local tycoons concealing the taxable population.

Xu Shu continued: "However, these are only the population numbers reflected by the household registrations of the counties and counties. As far as the subordinates know, the current household registration information was later re-edited by Sun Jianling. The household registrations previously compiled by the court have been basically due to the previous war. All of the above are lost, and although Sun Jian has reorganized it, because the time is short and Sun Jian’s attention is mainly on the battle, a large number of taxpayers must be missed. According to previous experience, many places are powerful. I am afraid that a considerable number of taxpayers have also been concealed. Therefore, the real population of the four counties may far exceed the number reflected in the current household registration."

Ai Lang said with joy: "Okay! The more the population, the better!" After a little thought, he said: "This matter, you have to pay attention! As the taxpayer population increases, the money we can receive will naturally increase!" Xu Shu clasped his fist and said, "Subordinates understand!"

At this time, Dianwei rushed in, clasped his fist and said, "General, Wu Jing is asking for a meeting outside."

Ai Lang felt a little strange, and said: "What did he come over suddenly?" Xu Shu immediately clasped his fists and said: "Master, forgive me. This is what the subordinate means. This Wu Jing is Miss Sun Ren's uncle, and the subordinate thinks this person might be able to convince the grandson. Miss Ren surrendered to us." Ai Lang laughed and waved his hand: "You are in vain! Sun Ren's little girl is just a tigress! It's useless to say anything to me!" Xu Shu smiled: " Try it for now. That won't hurt us." Ai Lang nodded with a smile, and said grimly: "Follow you to toss. But you must be wasting your effort!" Then he moved his heart and said to Xu Shu: "Old Xu , This Wu Jing can be said to be Jiangdong’s old fritters, why don’t you let him be your deputy, what do you think?” Xu Shu smiled, clasped his fist and said, “The master is wise. This decision is no better! "Iron laughed and said, "Since you think it's okay, that's it!" Then he said to Dianwei, "Old Dian, tell him to come in!"

Dian Wei Yingnuo ran down, and after a while, he led in a middle-aged man dressed in a Confucian shirt with a refined but somewhat restrained manner. When the man saw Ai Lang, his expression changed immediately and he hurriedly stepped forward to worship; "Guardian Wu Jing pays homage to the general!"

Ai Lang waved his hand, "Forget it!" "Thank General!" Wu Jing straightened up, but still stood with his head bowed, clasped his fists and said: "The criminal minister is hereby sent to persuade his niece Sun Ren by the order of Master Xu Shu. ......" Xu Shu smiled and said, "Master Wu, don't call yourself a guilty minister anymore! The lord has decided that you will not drive Jiangdong as my assistant to govern Jiangdong." Wu Jing's eyes widened, shocked and unbelievable. appearance. After recovering, he knelt down in a hurry, and kowtowed towards Ailang: "The general is graceful, sin, no, his subordinates are impressed by the five-year-old, and he is so impressed to repay the general's great kindness!"

"Okay, okay, don't move, just kowtow, get up!" "General Xie!" Wu Jing stood up again, his face was full of joy, and he looked like a different person from just now.

Ai Lang smiled and said to Wu Jing: "If Master Wu can persuade Miss Sun Ren to return, it will be a great achievement. I will reward merits and punish crimes here. I will never be stingy with rewards." "Yes! My subordinates understand!" After a pause, he said with embarrassment: "The general commanded that his subordinates shouldn't say much. It's just the general Rongzi. My niece has a stubborn personality since she was a child. The subordinates are afraid that she will not listen to my uncle. Advise!..." Ai Lang smiled and waved his hand, and said: "You don't have to worry about anything. I still understand Sun Ren, success is the best, and I won't blame you for not succeeding." Wu Jing heard this. , Immediately felt relieved, and worshiped; "Thank you for your understanding, the general!" Ai Lang said; "Okay, don't waste time, let's pass it. She is now in her boudoir." Wu Jing worshipped. : "Subordinates obey!" Then he bowed and exited the hall.

Wu Jing came out of the hall and drove straight to the backyard. Soon after, Wu Jing came to Sun Ren's boudoir. Seeing a few officers and soldiers guarding outside the boudoir, Wu Jing clasped his fists and said, "A few, the general asked me to come over to see Miss Sun Ren." The officer-like person smiled and clasped his fists: "You are welcome, Mr. Wu. The military commander is already I've explained it, please come in." Wu Jing thanked him, and immediately pushed the door into the room.

Sun Renzheng was in a bad mood. When he heard the muffled noise, he couldn't help but furious, and shouted: "Who told you to come in! Get out!"

Seeing Sun Ren standing not far away, Wu Jing glared at this side, and smiled: "Shang Xiang, don't you even know your uncle?" Sun Ren had already recognized Wu Jing, and his eyes were unbelievable. The expression came, and then the expression of surprise filled his eyebrows, rushed forward, grabbed the endless arm, and exclaimed; "Uncle, you, you are safe and sound!? We thought we thought that you had already suffered from Lu Bu. That traitor's poisonous hand!" Seeing Sun Ren's excitement, Wu Jing couldn't help but feel moved and said: "I heard that you were taken prisoner and I was very worried. But seeing you live here safe and sound, I feel relieved! This It is the grace of the general!"

Sun Ren was taken aback, then let go of Wu Jing's arm, and frowned and asked, "Why is my uncle so respectful to the traitor Lu Bu?" Then he remembered something and asked incomprehensibly: "How can you come here?" When Wu Jing heard Sun Ren's question, he didn't know how to answer it.

Sun Ren looked back suddenly, took a step back, and asked, "Uncle, you, have you surrendered to Lu Bu?"

Wu Jing felt a little ashamed, and then said: "Now the general is sitting on both sides of the river and is fighting against Cao Cao! Sooner or later the world will belong to them! Shangxiang, we should follow the general trend and serve the general!..."

Sun Ren said angrily: "So you are here to be a lobbyist for Lu Bu! You, how can you be worthy of your father? How can you be worthy of your mother?"

Wu Jing quickly said: "Shangxiang, you must not be obsessed with it! It is for their good, for the future of our family, we should go to the general! Otherwise, blindly with the general as an enemy, wouldn't it be ruining our family in Jiangdong? Hundred years of foundation?!......"
