Lord, he is not a man [infrastructure]

Anhe City failed to defend it. In fact, on the tenth day after An Shen led his soldiers to retreat to Anhe City, Anhe City was broken, and it was broken from the inside.

After retreating to the city, a large number of soldiers continued to flee every day, and they could not be stopped.

Killed a batch, originally wanted to warn other soldiers not to run again.Unexpectedly, this killing stabbed Lou Zi instead, and the remaining soldiers completely turned against each other, killed Shangguan, and ran to open the city gate.

The moment An Shen heard that the city was broken, he slumped on the chair and didn't speak.

All the lords who had defected were asking him what to do.

What can he do?

Take someone out?

How many people are there with him now?

Anshen knew that there were people arranged by Tang Bo in Anhe City, otherwise his soldiers would not have lost their minds so quickly.

But he couldn't catch those people who played tricks in the dark. Tang Bo could buy those soldiers with food, money, houses and fields. What about him?

Although he later told the soldiers that as long as he defended Anhe City and beat Bailuling away, he would give the soldiers various rewards, and if he could kill Tang Bo, he would be rewarded even more.

But it didn't work.

Because Tang Bo was not an invader, he had the most justifiable name for attacking Sita County and Anhe Territory.

And what Tang Bo did the most was that he brought all the people he could find out of the city, and let those old and young shout to the city, saying that this land belonged to the new lord, and they should have listened to the new lord , and the new lord treats them well, will not overcharge them for food, and will exempt them from taxes for three years.It is also guaranteed to provide them with better seeds and better tools for farming, and in the future, all labor such as building roads and cities will be cancelled. If manpower is needed to do these things, they will be paid for food.

Some of the soldiers' families in the city were indeed in the city, but most of the soldiers' families were mud-legged, and they were scattered all over Sita County.

When the family members or relatives, friends and neighbors of these soldiers come, how can the soldiers in the city have much heart to defend the city?

Who doesn't want to go home?

Who wants to work hard to fight and still not have enough to eat every day?

In the end, Tang Bo even asked people to shout to the city that if the rebel Shangguan was captured or killed alive, he would be rewarded with houses, fields, and gold coins based on his merits.

Those superiors who had restrained the soldiers from escaping from the city were afraid that the soldiers would assassinate them for the rewards. When the soldiers secretly negotiated to escape, these superiors turned a blind eye.

In this way, more and more people are running.

The fewer people left, the more vulnerable they will be. No one wants to stay as cannon fodder for certain death.

After Anshen ordered that the soldiers were not allowed to escape any more, and that they would be killed without mercy if they were found, the remaining soldiers were instigated by someone with a heart to blow up.

Anshen listened to the noise of Bailu leading the army rushing into the city after the city was broken, and slowly sat up straight.

He is the princess, the highest administrative official of Sita County dispatched and appointed by the Grand Duke, and Tang Bo would never dare to kill him.

"We are nobles. What Tang Bo wants is nothing more than the control of the territory. We just hand it over. As for the family wealth, you can keep it if you can. If you can't keep it, you don't need to force it." , also said to himself: "Tang Bo can't kill nobles at will."

An Shen was right. Tang Bo might not be able to kill An Shen and other nobles who didn't invite him to fight because of his superficial relationship with Duke Luma and others, but he didn't come.

The two killers, Gu Ding and Zhen Lao, came.

The old man hated the princess Anshen and An's family to death, and also hated other lords who made trouble for him and the leaders of Baowanghe.

Gu Ding is eager to cut the weeds and get rid of the roots.

The two hit it off immediately, and after entering Anhe City, they went straight to the castle.

In the end, not a single person was left alive in that hall.

At that time, only Gu Ding and Zhen Lao were the only ones who entered this hall. After they entered, they closed the hall door tightly, and no one was allowed to go out or enter.

No one knew what happened in the short 10 minutes after the two entered. When Gu Ding opened the door and walked out, there was only a pile of corpses left inside.

What Gu Ding and Zhen Lao said to the outside world was: Princess Anshen had a dispute with the lords under him, and some wanted to surrender, but Anshen refused, and finally the two sides fought. When they entered, Anshen and his men, And those lords all killed each other.

Some people don't believe it?

The attitude of the two of them is very bachelor: Anyway, we have given an explanation, believe it or not, it is up to you.Besides, even if you don't believe it, what can you do with us?

Dou Yu came out after Gu Ding occupied the castle, and he turned into a restaurant girl in makeup.

This is one of the main heroes who made the Anhe soldiers and the city residents feel uneasy. He is familiar with Anhe City and knows the preferences and weaknesses of some important people. He led a group of people to deal with the taverns and servants, spreading All kinds of news, and at the same time secretly engaged in sowing discord and assassination.

With Douyu leading the way and naming names, none of the damned people in the city ran away.

When Mrs. Anshin heard that her husband was dead, and her eldest and second sons were also dead, she committed suicide.

I don't know if she really committed suicide. Anyway, Douyu said she committed suicide, so she committed suicide.

Except for An Sanshao who ran away, everyone in the An family was caught, including those illegitimate children.

But Gu Ding didn't kill all these illegitimate children, many of them were from the same background as Dou Yu, and some of them lived worse than slaves.

For these people, Gu Ding treated them as ordinary people as if he didn't know their backgrounds.

As for how to deal with the daughter-in-law of An's family, Gu Ding rushed back to ask Tang Bo's opinion - he was just looking for an excuse to see Tang Bo, and Tang Bo knew this, so he let him go back and forth, anyway, Gu Ding was not too tired Also very happy.

Tang Bo said that if these women want to leave, no matter where they go, let them go.Bailuling can also hire mercenaries to escort them to their destination, but they cannot bring any extra property except their clothes.

Young Master An, Second Young Master An, including Third Young Master An, all had children left behind.

When An Sanshao left, he didn't bring his wife and children with him.His wife is still counting on her husband to come back to take her to Luma City, but she doesn't know that her husband has already left Tonglei Country.

An Ershao's wife cried and said that she was going back to her parents' house, but her father turned out to be the lord of the Peacock Lord.

Seeing Lukong's face, Tang Bo asked Douyu and the others, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with him, he sent away An Ershao's wife, including An Ershao's two children.

The lord of the Peacock Lord sighed when he received his daughter and grandchildren back, accepting Tang Bo's love.Then in less than two months, the lord married his daughter again, and married her to the Principality of Zijiao as a continuation wife, even bringing her two children there.

Mrs. An's wife is the eldest daughter of Earl Dexi. She was asked by Princess An to take her children to the rhino area to find her husband long ago. She went and never came back.

However, Mrs. An's wife has a lot of opinions on Tang Bo who caused the disappearance of her husband and children's father. Earl Dexi broke up several times but failed to get back his daughter's thoughts, and then found that she even secretly taught the two children to hold grudges After avenging his father, Count Dexi decisively separated his daughter from his grandchildren.

Earl Dexi put his daughter under house arrest, brought his grandchildren to him to raise them himself, and at the same time sent them to the primary school in Bailuling.The child is still young, and there is still a chance to correct it after hearing and seeing.

For Earl De Xi, the An family killed his eldest son, and he was able to support the blood of the An family because of his daughter.If the daughter and the grandchildren are not good enough, he doesn't mind taking care of them himself.He has other children and offspring, and it certainly can't be ruined by those few.

Including the family members of the An family, Tang Bo has one solution for the family members of the old lords: public trial.

Those who commit serious crimes shall be put to death.Those who are not worthy of death are sent to labor camps.Both men and women are included.

For children under the age of 13, women and adult men who have no obvious crimes, they are allowed to choose to leave on their own. If they want to stay, they can stay, but they can no longer have the original title and power, and they will only be treated as ordinary people. They are treated the same, and part of their property will be distributed to them as appropriate.

Most of the noble families chose to leave, they gathered together, and Tang Bo hired mercenaries to send them to Luma City.

Gu Ding, Zhen Lao and others actually disapproved of Tang Bo's handling, and they felt that Tang Bo was too soft.

Tang Bo felt that this was a matter of concept, he could not have explained it, but seeing that Gu Ding had the intention of dealing with those family members secretly, he made it clear what he thought.

"Maybe one or two of the descendants of these families and nobles will grow up with hatred and will take revenge on me in the future. But so what?"

Gu Ding raised his eyebrows: "Take care of them now, and don't worry about them becoming trouble."

Tang Bo waved his hand, signaling Gu Ding to walk with him, and the two walked along the river while talking.

Gu Ding held Tang Bo's hand.

Tang Bo knew that there were guards following behind him, and people nearby would see them, but he didn't push Gu Ding away.He's the kind of guy who, once he makes a decision, goes his own way.

He is with Gu Ding, what other people think is none of his business?

accurate?Dislike?Have a problem with them?There is a way to say it, and he promises to let the other party stay where it is cool.

Seeing Tang Bo's calm and relaxed appearance, Gu Ding grinned and jumped a few times like a child.

Tang Bo: "..." He couldn't help but smile.

"I'll do it, don't bother you." Gu Ding said.

Tang Bo shook his head, "We will have many enemies in the future. As long as the White Hart collar continues to develop, as long as I am still alive and in power, I will have constant enemies. The nobles we have to deal with in the future are not one or two. Kill all their descendants and family members? If the descendants of nobles must be killed, what about the families and descendants of those generals and soldiers? How can you ensure that the families of those dead soldiers don’t hate me?”

Gu Ding frowned.

Tang Bo hooked Gou Guding's palm very easily: "There are also descendants of criminals who have been judged by me, and even some people who have been affected by my policies. They may hate me. Could it be that these people and their families Kill them all too?"

Gu Ding was tickled by Tang Bo.

Tang Bo chuckled: "It is impossible for me to guard against everyone. These descendants of nobles may assassinate me in the future, but Luma City may send someone to assassinate me today. Even the king may want to do it because of some interests. Kill me, and the enemies of the Marquis of Thunder might hate me because I healed the Marquis well, and other dukes will be greedy for our caravan interests and want to assassinate me. That's why I have guards around me, and eight hundred little giants He also became my personal bodyguard."

Tang Bo really didn't care: "This has nothing to do with benevolence, it's just unnecessary. We can't kill everyone, there will always be fish that slip through the net. If that's the case, why bother?"

Gu Ding thought for a moment, then nodded: "I understand what you mean."

After discussing business matters, Gu Ding wanted to do something else, and proposed enthusiastically: "Tang Tang, let's eat roasted leg of lamb. This time we found some very special spices in Anshen's warehouse. There is a kind of It tastes very similar to the cumin you mentioned, and there is also a leaf that tastes very spicy, and the chef in Anshen said it is called spicy leaf."

"Oh? Then you must try it. If the taste is good, see if you can get the seeds to plant." Tang Bo immediately became interested.

Before the autumn harvest, the entire territory of Sita County was successfully taken over by Tang Bo.

The first thing Tang Bo did after taking over the whole Sita County was to count the population, and the second thing was to send survey teams and exploration teams to measure the actual land of Sita County and survey the mineral resources of Sita County.

The third thing is to gather the scattered population and move them to the planned villages and towns.They are allocated five acres of land per person, and half an acre of land for each person at most for the homestead.

There is no money for the land, and there is no tax for the first three years of cultivation.But homesteads cost money to buy, and farmers can apply for interest-free loans if they have no money.

The first thing these relocated people have to do is to build houses for themselves. They have specific plans for the location and appearance of their houses, and they will not be allowed to build them randomly.

For building materials and labor money, loans can also be made, but this kind of loan is a low-interest loan.

The fourth thing is to continue to pave the way.

The fifth thing is to publicize the laws and regulations of Bailuling to the public every day, and arrange school-age children to go to school.

The sixth thing is to remove the slavery status of serfs and other slaves...

One by one, there are a lot of things to do at the beginning of the territory's acceptance. Fortunately, before Tang Bo, he had accumulated rich experience in managing the Bailu collar and gathering the Hongshan collar and the red taro collar, and everything was done in accordance with the established rules and regulations. , Each project has a special person in charge, unless they can't solve the problem, they will ask Tang Bo here.

In this way, although everyone is busy, it is not chaotic, and everything is handled in an orderly manner.

But even so, Tang Bo himself has to instruct a large number of official documents every day, read a large amount of statistical data and the latest reports from various places.If it wasn't for Tang Bo's insistence on working from nine to five in the morning, and also arranging rest days for himself, Gu Ding would have wanted Tang Bo to retire now.

Of course, it is impossible for Tang Bo to retire now.White Hart Collar has just begun to develop, and everything has not stabilized yet.If Tang Bo lets go now, unless Gu Ding takes over immediately, and Tang Bo also assists from the side, Bailuling may not continue to develop, but will go backwards.

When the original Sita County people figured out what interest-free loans and what low-interest loans are, the autumn harvest of the entire New Bailuling would be over.

Tang Bo fulfilled his promise. This year, he did not collect a grain or a copper coin from the villagers.Instead, he distributed the grain he collected from the Anheling granary to poor households, refugees, and slaves without permanent property, so that they could go through the most difficult initial stage.

When everything is on track, New Bailuling has a lot of work that needs to be done by hand. If you do the work, you will be paid, and if you are paid, you will have food.The New White Deer Leaders don't have to worry about the next winter and the lack of success in the coming year.

Similarly, Tang Bo did not enlist the conscription required by Luma City.

Originally, the White Deer leader thought that the lord would take the opportunity to recruit some soldiers after the lord gathered Sita County. Even the soldiers who surrendered thought that they would continue to fight for the lord.

Unexpectedly, the lord did not intend to keep them at all. Instead, people asked them whether they wanted to be farmers, craftsmen, or merchants. They all made new arrangements for them according to their personal wishes.

Those who want to stay in the army have to take part in the assessment. After passing the assessment, they have to study and train for a period of time, and then they will be assessed again. Only after passing the assessment can they stay in the army.

It is no exaggeration to say that Tang Bo has no shortage of soldiers now.

After taking over the entire Four Towers County, the population of New Bailuling reached about 25.

After deducting the number of troops and Bailuling's original population of 12, only about 8 people were collected in the entire Sita County.

This is an inconceivable population size in the modern view of the earth, and it is inconceivably small.

But at this time, this amount is normal for a tower county.Although due to various reasons such as floods, many people in Sita County died and ran away, but before the flood, the population of Sita County was only about 14 to 15.

Now the total population of New Bailuling can exceed 20, which is already the second largest among the five tower counties in Luma City.Tang Bo only announced the amount of 20 to the outside world, concealing the actual number of troops.If you add the amount he concealed, Tower County has the largest population.

However, considering that the entire Luma Principality is only as big as a province in his previous life, the area of ​​Sita County is only about the area of ​​two large cities including the county seat, and considering the current low productivity , Medicine is weak, then this population is very reasonable.

All add up to 25 people, of which his actual number of soldiers has reached [-].

The ratio of civilians to soldiers has reached five to one, and four people support one soldier, which is not normal at all.

But this is also due to the special situation in the Luma Principality. Most of the troops of the White Deer Leader do not come from the local White Deer Territory, but Gu Ding and the others collect them from the entire Luma Principality.

Soldiers have to be supported once they are recruited, and 5 people don't know how much they will eat every day just to eat and drink.

Tang Bo has done calculations. According to the current population and output of Bailuling, [-] soldiers are just right, and it is not impossible to support more, but it is not necessary.

How many soldiers did Duke Luma send to the battlefield?

forty thousand!

This is already an army.

The number of soldiers that the Grand Duke of Green Hemp is now forcibly recruiting is basically knocking out the bone and sucking the marrow.If most of these soldiers died on the battlefield, the population of the Luma Principality would be severely hit, and none of them could recover in more than ten or twenty years.

Tang Bo doesn't need new soldiers, but Duke Luma is desperate for the number of soldiers now.

Except for the New White Hart Collar, almost all the adult males in the other Four Towers counties were transferred.

These recruits who have never received any war training will be killed by cannon fodder when they go to the battlefield. Most of them will die on the battlefield after their first charge.

But Duke Luma couldn't take care of that much anymore. The Duke of Lanji put too much pressure on him. If he couldn't withstand this wave of attacks, he would have nothing. Then why does he care about the life and death of the people?

They are my people, sacrifice for me.

When Duke Luma heard that Tang Bo had captured the entire Sita County, he had no time to make trouble for Tang Bo, so he only sent an envoy to Tang Bo to send him 2000 million catties of grain and [-] soldiers within a month. .

The Duke of Luma also asked the envoy to tell Tang Bo: I know you are rich, and others can't afford so much food, but you can.You can go to other principalities to buy cheap food.

The Duke of Luma also used both hard and soft methods on Tang Bo. First, he asked the messenger to tell Tang Bo: I know you are a capable person. As long as you can continuously provide me with food, grass and even soldiers, let alone a Sita County, I can The Three Towers County is also assigned to you.

Of course there are tough ones. The Duke of Luma asked the envoy to tell Tang Bo: If you are disobedient and don't support me, I will send the gods to deal with you.Even if I lose the battle with the Principality of Lanji, I will drag you to die together.Do not believe you can try.

This is definitely a rogue approach.

Gu Ding pretended to be a guard at the time, and stood beside Tang Bo and listened to everything, his face turned black with anger.
