Han Xiang

Chapter 99
Xu Village is a large village with thousands of households. As the leaders of the village, Xu Ding and Xu Chu have trained their own armed forces. In fact, they can be regarded as local tyrants, but on a smaller scale, so their horizons are wider than Feng Zhong and Tang Yu.

The people of Xu Village were properly resettled. Long Xiang allocated the former Hefei Duwei's Mansion to the Xu family brothers to live in. Xu Ding did not refuse because of his large family.

The administrative level of Hefei Hou State is the same as the county, and there are four large mansions in the city, namely Hefei Hou Mansion, Guoxiang Mansion, Zhubu Mansion, and Duwei Mansion.

The state minister is the same as the county magistrate, and assists the state leader to take charge of the military affairs of the Hou State; the state minister is the same county magistrate, who is in charge of civil affairs, documents, and warehouses; (Hou Guotong counties with [-] households, the county with [-] households is the county magistrate, and the county with less than [-] households is the county magistrate)
As the population of Hefei increased, the official structure gradually improved.

Originally, as Lu Su's master secretary, he should have moved to Guoxiang Mansion or Master Registrar's Mansion, but Long Xiang left him to live and work in Jun Sima Mansion (Hefei Marquis Mansion) for the convenience of asking for advice.

Seeing that all the generals agreed, Lu Su nodded and said, "Since Yun Qi has made a decision, I will assign them according to the roster when I go back, and let everyone move into the new house as soon as possible."

"Ah."

Long Xiang responded, turned around and continued walking.

After walking two or three steps, he stopped. He felt something hard sticking to his feet. He lowered his head to see that it was a small stone.

It should be that there are more people visiting, and the ground is highlighted by being stepped on.

"In fact, you can move a few days later. If you put a layer of cement mortar on the floor, the room will not only be flat and not sticky, but it will be much cleaner for daily cleaning."

Long Xiang pointed to the small stone at his feet, and made kind suggestions to the people next to him.

Due to the shortage of materials in the early stage of construction, Longchamp not only used a large number of public walls in the planning and design, but also eliminated the delivery standards for the interior walls of the rooms, the ground leveling and plastering, and the hardening of the roads in the community.

Lu Su frowned and questioned: "Yunqi wants to plaster the whole house? It is estimated to be at least half the thickness of a finger, how much cement would be used for a hundred houses? I am afraid that the cement workshop will not stop day and night, and it will take two months. Although the idea is good, But waited too long”

"Yeah, this is fine now, let's not make it too complicated"

Feng Zhong had a lot of contact with Lu Su, and because he was in charge of the craftsman camp, he knew the materials in the city very well, so he immediately stood up and agreed.

"A hundred suites are all plastered?"

After hearing this, Long Xiang waved his hands, and quickly corrected: "I mean voluntary, you can live directly."

"What do you mean? Is there anyone who doesn't want to live well?"

Tang Yu looked confused.

Long Xiang explained with a smile: "Although these new houses are allocated directly, the increase in cement is not free. It needs to be exchanged for salary. Of course, craftsmen are also required to pay salary for construction."

"What?"

Tang Yu scratched his head when he heard it, and the generals in the room all waited and watched, wondering what Long Xiang meant?Change the way to plunder the salary?
Lu Su vaguely thought of something, but kept stroking his beard and meditating without opening his mouth to guess.

Long Xiang sternly explained: "You think I want to exploit my salary? In fact, that's not the case at all. You are all my arms and Hefei's shoulders, and you know a lot about the affairs of the city.

The food in Hefei comes from the farming of farmers, and the food produced is taken from the people and used for you, soldiers, craftsmen, officials, etc. When there are few people, it can still be properly distributed, but when there are more people and less land, and more salary and food, The official warehouse will be unable to make ends meet.”

Long Xiang explained clearly, and everyone could hear him clearly.

A small city is like a small country. If the government cannot make ends meet, there will be big problems. At the least, the people will flee into exile, and at the worst, it will stir up civil uprisings.

Feng Zhong understood Long Xiang's concerns, so he remonstrated: "It's really impossible to take in fewer refugees, and let's build fewer houses. It's good to keep Hefei as it is."

Lu Su immediately stood up and retorted: "General Feng is absurd. Maintaining the status quo is tantamount to complacency. Although we want to keep aloof from the world, we can't stop others from coveting us. Only by growing stronger can we protect ourselves. Let's listen to what Yun Qi says."

"Yes, yes, listen to Yunqi."

Tang Ju tugged on Feng Zhong's sleeve.

Long Xiang nodded and continued: "Hefei does not open business now, does not use money, private transactions are all exchanged for grain;
If the houses are all distributed by the government, and the green bricks and cement are provided free of charge by the government, the grain storage in the official warehouse will be emptied sooner or later;
If green bricks and cement become paid purchases, part of the grain will be returned to the official warehouse, and a healthy turnover can be achieved. "

"Frugality depends on people, this method is wonderful." Lu Su stroked his beard and nodded.

Feng Zhong took the lead to echo: "We don't understand these things, Yun Qi can just decide directly, anyway, brothers will not be hungry if they follow you."

Long Xiang smiled and said: "I will discuss the standard with Zijing when I come down, but this kind of thing needs an example. Uncle Zhong, you take the lead in changing some cement. When the floor of the house is done, others will naturally follow."

"Okay." Feng Zhong nodded solemnly.

Tang Xi smiled and walked over: "Hey, if Lao Feng's salary is not enough, I will make up for him. We must make it better."

"Then I will be disrespectful."

"Hahaha"

Accompanied by Tang Yu's laughter, the group continued to visit with Long Xiang, and soon walked out from the south gate of the community.

Looking at the empty entrance, Long Xiang always felt that something was missing.

Suddenly Long Xiang slapped his thigh and said to Lu Su: "Zijing, later on, you can mention a word for this hundred courtyards, and then hang a plaque at the gate, which is also a place name for this place."

"What word?" Lu Su raised his eyes and asked.

Long Xiang squeezed his chin to think, remembering that the names of those neighborhoods in later generations were all kinds of strange, there were Western style, Chinese style, classical style, and modern style, but most of them were not suitable for the current situation.

"Just call it Hefei No. [-]. If a similar new house is built in the future, it will be convenient to continue down the row."

"I think it will work"

When Lu Su was thinking about answering, he was suddenly interrupted by the sound of horseshoes.

He and the others turned around instinctively, only to see a rider coming from the north flying dust, who seemed to be a ranger scout under Cao Xing's command.

"There may be a situation in the north"

Cao Xing clasped his fists at Long Xiang in embarrassment, and then trotted up to meet him with a dark face. He was worried that the scouts would run too close before stopping, and everyone would be covered in dust.

After talking briefly with You Qi, Cao Xing immediately turned around and ran back, his eyes full of surprise.

Cao Xing glanced at Tang Xi first, then clasped his fists and reported to Long Xiang: "General, Luo Yicheng sent someone to send the news. Yuan Shu vomited blood and died a few days ago. Shouchun is panicking now."

"What?" Tang Yu's eyes widened.

Feng Zhong and others were shocked, but Long Xiang remained calm.

"I expected that Yuan Shu would die, but I didn't expect it to be so soon, alas."

Lu Su sighed, and then frowned: "Shuzi Yuan Yao is mediocre, I'm afraid it will be difficult to carry on the great cause, and I don't know who Shouchun will fall into."

Cao Xing added: "Yuan Yin is in charge of the overall situation."

"Yun Qi, the big tree Yuan Shu has fallen, the Qiao family," Tang Jue reminded in a low voice.

When Long Xiang frowned and thought, Lu Su murmured again.

"Yuan Yin is also a mediocre person. He was kicked out of Danyang by Sun Ce last year. If Cao Cao took the opportunity to go south at this time, Shouchun would have no power to resist."

"That bridge."

Long Xiang's eyebrows squeezed into a Sichuan character.

Lu Su knew that Long Xiang was worried about the Qiao family, so he smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry about Yun Qi, Yuan Yin never fought to the death in Danyang, and he will certainly not stick to Shouchun, he should escape early."
