Chapter 691

"Especially the population of Luoyang and Hongnong. Before the Dong Dynasty moved the capital, the population of Yin in Henan Province was 1.01 million, but when the general took over the governor of Luoyang, there were only a few cities in Guandong with less than 400000 people. Today, however, the population of Luoyang alone has reached 500000, which is more than when Luoyang was the most prosperous

Tian Feng's words surprised everyone here. Even Huangfu Chaobo didn't expect that the total population of Henan county today was more than half of that of Dong Zhuo when he was in Luoyang. You know, when Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, the total population of Luoyang was just over one million, but that was because of the accumulation of the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty for two hundred years. Now when I took over Luoyang, it was still a piece of white land, but now it has reached 500000, which can be said to be a miracle.

After everyone digested his own words, Tian Feng continued: "there is Hongnong county. When I took over Pingdong general's house, the whole county had less than 30000 people after two strong migrations by the Xiliang army. Now, the total population of eight cities under Hongnong's rule has reached 200000, which is equivalent to the original number."

Then Tian Feng told everyone about the number of acres of land reclaimed and the grain income of each season. Then there will be the income from commodity trade.

When this long string of figures came out of Tian Fengkou, people were shocked to find that their own patriarch's power was so huge. How long did it take? Within a few years, they had gone from a big county magistrate to a vassal who now governs more than two million people.

Thinking of this, all the people in the audience looked at the young man above the throne with awe. As time goes on, it seems that the power of staying in the top position for a long time is growing day by day, and now it has come to the point where people can look up to it.

At this time, however, Huangfu Chaobo was lost in meditation, unaware of the changes of his subordinates. After Tian Feng finished introducing the situation of internal affairs, he woke up with a start. Then he turned his head and looked at Bing Cao and engaged in Xu Shu.

Because they had already said hello to everyone in advance, both Tian Feng, who was in charge of civil affairs, and Xu Shu, who was in charge of military affairs, were ready.

Seeing Huangfu Chaobo's eyes, Xu Shu stood up and saluted the first collection of Huangfu Chaobo. Then he saluted all the people in charge of the meeting and said, "my Lord, you have just heard Tian Biejia's words. I believe they are all like some people. They must be very excited and hard to control themselves."

All the people present nodded their approval.

Seeing this, Xu Shu said with a smile to all the people, "then someone will come to lower the temperature. Tian Biejia once said that the number of people under the rule of our Pingdong general's house has reached more than 2.2 million, even more than the population of the three counties before the Dong thief's rebellion. "

"But what do you know about the number of troops under general Pingdong?"

After hearing this, they were stunned and shook their heads.

Later, Xu Shu said word by word: "there are three hundred and fifteen thousand soldiers."

Everyone was in an uproar. With a population of 2.2 million, it is surprising that 320000 soldiers are supported, which is such a high proportion.

After the discussion, Xu Shu continued: "this is just the number of soldiers, including 100000 soldiers, 200000 guards and 15000 sailors. This does not include the sailors on the ships and the maintenance personnel of the ships. Moreover, of the more than 300000 troops and horses, there are 45000 cavalry, and 150000 horses. "

If we say that the number of soldiers and horses in front of us is just a surprise, then the number Xu Shu said behind us is a shock to us all. So many horses consumed as much food as soldiers, that is to say, nearly 600000 troops and horses were consumed under the whole Pingdong general.

"Fortunately, the general has always attached great importance to commercial affairs. In addition, we have won a lot of wars in Suzhou, so we have accumulated some wealth. Otherwise, Tian Biejia would not be so easy to tell you about Suzhou." With that, Xu Shu made a joke on Tian Feng. Tian Feng also showed a rare smile. Although it was just a flash, it can be seen that he was in a good mood.

The rest of them also laughed at Xu Shu's words.

After everyone laughed, Xu Shu continued: "however, these things are temporary, and now our Pingdong general's house is still full of difficulties."

"Luoyang is a place of four wars, and there is not much land that can be used for farming. Now it has become saturated, especially in Hongnong. The population of 200000 has basically reached saturation. Although half of Hanoi is controlled by the general's office, it is not impeccable. The other half of Hanoi is still controlled by the aristocratic family."

"The only way to do this is to control Hedong as soon as possible. Hedong was once the rich land of the Han Dynasty and was known as" the mountains and rivers inside and outside ". In recent years, although it was disturbed by the southern Huns and the Baibo bandits, now the southern Huns are accepted by the Xiake. The Baibo bandits, General Yang and General Han, have abandoned the secret and turned to the light. It is believed that there are two generals coming out, so they should be able to accept the Baibo army easily." Xu Shu finally said;

Huangfu Chaobo is noncommittal about Xu Shu's idea. For Hedong, it's best not to send troops, but judging from the current situation, it's unlikely.With a nod, Huangfu Chaobo turns his eyes to Shi a again. As the general in charge of intelligence under his command, Shi a has gradually entered the role of intelligence leader. Seeing that Huangfu Chaobo's eyes looked at him, Shi a quickly got up to salute, and then saluted all the people in the hall. Then he came to the map of the hall.

"Lord, ladies and gentlemen, next, I will introduce the situation of Sizhou and the surrounding forces to you." With that, Shi'a picked up a stick and explained it to the map one by one.

It is needless to say that the situation in Luoyang, in the words of the time people, is that the government is in harmony with the people. Next is Hongnong. Since last year, Hongnong removed the two counties that did not accept discipline, the situation has been gradually improving. It can be said that these two counties are the most tightly controlled by the state.

However, the development potential of the two counties is limited. Luoyang is a little bit better. There are still a lot of grain income in the ten counties in the east of Shaanxi, while Hongnong has little.

Hanoi is relatively stable at present. Several counties to the east of Huai county have been under the control of the prefect's office, so after more than a year of steady transition, they have been basically under control. Of course, it can only be said that it is basically controlled, which is far from Luoyang Hongnong. As for the cities to the west of Huai County, they are basically under the control of the aristocratic family. Although there is no clear refuge, but also did not tear his face, every so often there are still some money and grain turned over to the prefect's house.
