Chapter 1390

"If the king wants to restore the people's livelihood of Binzhou, it will take years. Now there are strong enemies in several counties in the north. Therefore, the minister believes that Binzhou can be divided into two, four counties in the South and Leping as a Binzhou, and five counties in the north can establish a new state."

As soon as Fazheng's words were said, all the people present were surprised. Zhao Yun said in his heart: this faxiao is straight. It's really a young stroll. How can this ship say such an important thing rashly.

Huangfu Chaobo was moved in his heart. He really had this idea. He didn't expect Fazheng to have this idea, but he didn't know what his purpose was.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Chao Bo nodded to him quietly and motioned him to continue.

The expressions of all the people around him were seen by FA Zheng, but he didn't care. He continued: "king, the reason why Wei Chen suggested this is for one purpose. If Bingzhou is a place with ten counties, it will inevitably be too large and more difficult to manage."

"If we divide Binzhou into two according to what Wei Chen said just now, the new County in the north is the border county, and most of its focus should be placed on resisting the enemy, while the five counties in the South can develop with peace of mind and all-out efforts. In this way, the two states have their own focus, which can make the officials act more specifically. What the king added is only dozens of officials in the governor's office of a state."

This time, everyone was in front of him. Huangfu Chaobo still didn't speak and gave him another look.

"In addition, Wei Chen suggested that the new County in the North should not be equipped with too few infantry in each city except for a large number of cavalry. Of course, these infantry, in addition to defending the city, can also be transferred in turn to cultivate fields around the city in peacetime and return to the city to defend the city in wartime."

Yes, he is indeed a man with ideas, which is somewhat similar to the western Xinjiang reclamation corps of the real state Dynasty. Of course, this practice is also practiced in the game and in the history of the Three Kingdoms. In history, Cao Cao is the biggest beneficiary of the reclamation of farmland. Both Yanzhou and Jizhou and Guanzhong behind him are the only magic weapon for the rapid improvement of the strength of the state of Wei.

"The army is only cultivating around the city, but aren't those places far away from the city wasted?" Zhao Yun asked;

"No!" When FA Zheng heard Zhao Yun's question, he bowed and saluted: "it's normal for general Pingbei to have this question. In the general plan of the lower official, except for these soldiers who settle the fields, the large fortress stronghold also needs to place personnel far away from the city."

"But these people are not all soldiers or ordinary people, but both live together, or even ordinary people do not cultivate fields like around the city, but let them graze. Let them raise a large number of cattle, sheep and horses, which provide war horses for cavalry, and cattle and sheep can provide meat for the army."

"Not only that, the large number of cattle and horses raised under Xinzhou can also train a large number of cattle and pack horses for farming for the rest of the Tang Dynasty. In this way, it can not only alleviate the needs of domestic farmland cultivation, but also provide livelihood income for the people in the state."

By this time, Huangfu Chaobo had recognized Fazheng's statement. According to his idea, the counties in the north were originally places with abundant water and grass. Since it was not good to use them for planting crops on a large scale, they were just used as animal husbandry bases in the whole Tang Dynasty.

You know, Yunzhong ranch is a horse base in the post Sui and Tang Dynasties. In addition, raising a large number of cattle and sheep also has great advantages. One is that it can train and raise a large number of cattle to provide cattle for other prefectures and counties. The second is that beef and mutton is a large amount of meat for both the army and the people.

Another point is that a large number of cattle and sheep can provide a large number of fur and tendons for the state of Tang. These are strategic materials. Leather armor and bowstring need these as raw materials.

What he said about the reclamation of farmland is also to provide some food for the soldiers, horses and people in Xinzhou. When they can't get it, all the food needs to be transported from the inland counties. Although they can't achieve self-sufficiency, they can still solve some urgent problems.

Another point is that a large amount of material circulation is bound to promote the further development of Commerce. Even if FA Zheng did not put forward this point, it should be conceivable with Huang Fu's super broad IQ.

The five counties in Binzhou can develop vigorously with confidence. They only need to develop the economy at ease and provide food, grass, arms and equipment support for Xinzhou in the north.

In this way, it is very beneficial for both officials and ordinary people. After all, people's energy is limited. If it is really managed by a large state, the officials of the Ministry of CI Shi have to manage the people's livelihood, try their best to restore the economy and the army, and consider responding to the invasion of foreign enemies at any time.

If you have a strong ability, you can still cope with it, but if you are a little worse, you are likely to ignore both sides. In the end, you want to attend to both sides, but you can't attend to both sides.

"Pa Pa!"

Thinking of this, Huangfu couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, what Xiaozhi thinks is very lonely. How many troops and horses should be arranged in the newly established state to resist the attack of the three enemies?"

"According to Wei Chen, as general Pingbei said, in terms of cavalry, 50000 to 80000 cavalry can be used, while in terms of infantry, there are 41 cities and five passes in the five counties. The infantry stationed in several counties and cities and several important passes should be at least 3000 to 5000, and the number of infantry stationed in ordinary counties should also be about 1000."

"The reason why the number of troops stationed is not many is that these cities need to face the invasion of Xianbei people. The Xianbei army is mainly cavalry. In terms of attacking the city, it is far different from the soldiers and horses of all countries in the world. Ordinary cities are of little use to the Xianbei army. Generally, they will not consume too many troops on these cities."

"In terms of troop arrangement, we still have tens of thousands of cavalry here, so it is also a good check on Xianbei cavalry. Therefore, in terms of the arrangement of infantry, Weichen is not prepared to arrange too much."

Huangfu Chaobo listened to FA Zheng's words while considering the arrangement of troops and horses.

There are more than 40 city passes in five counties. If calculated according to the arrangement of Fazheng, at least ten cities need to be arranged with about 5000 soldiers. If calculated in this way, it is 50000 soldiers.

In addition, for the other nearly 40 cities, even if only a thousand foot soldiers are arranged, it also needs nearly 40000 foot soldiers. In addition to these, it also needs about 20000 mobile troops. In this way, the state needs nearly 100000 soldiers. If you add 58000 cavalry, you need nearly 200000 troops and horses.

God, at the thought of this, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but get a big head. This is only a state that needs 200000 troops. In this way, it's impossible to estimate 1.5 million, and it is likely to exceed 2 million. You should know that although he has just won the nine counties of Bingzhou, plus the refuge of several counties in youbeiping, he will not exceed 20 million people on a full scale.

Just then, there was a rush of footsteps outside the hall, and then a voice came from afar.

"Report, report to the king, Youzhou urgent report from Luoyang!"
