Chapter 493 Two Months Later

After the failure of the last trial in Chiyou Cave, Shang Ji died down and did not take the initiative to go to the trial again.

After that battle, Shang Ji pondered over and over in his mind, thinking about how to defeat the siege of the three Chi You phantoms. After thinking hard for two days, Shang Ji found that he really couldn't break through this barrier before his strength improved significantly.

Of course, if Shang Ji finds a few high-level strange items, such as the ghost face shield he used back then, he can easily advance to the sixth floor.

But in this way, the cart is turned upside down, and the original meaning of the trial is completely lost. Among the generals of the Shang Ji army, defeating Chi You Xuying without deliberately looking for foreign help has become the unspoken rule of everyone.

Shang Ji temporarily suspended his plan to enter the trial again, and gave the opportunity to those who needed it. He himself took advantage of the east wind enshrined in the Martial God Pavilion, and plunged into the tide of cultivation!

With the return of major generals such as Liu Yi, Zhao Yun, and Zhang He, the entire list of enshrined offerings in the Wushen Pavilion has also been finalized. There are more than 500 places, and some mid-level generals are lucky to live in the Martial God Pavilion and enjoy the cultivation increase of the Martial God Pavilion.

Shang Ji lived alone on the fifth floor of the Martial God Pavilion, enjoying a 200% super high cultivation efficiency bonus, so naturally he couldn't waste this opportunity.

The time was spent in the practice of Shang Ji, and in the blink of an eye, another two months passed, and the Pingzhou Senior Military and Political Joint Conference was held once a month in the City Lord's Mansion Chamber!

"My lord, the first three-year plan has been carried out for more than three months, and all affairs are progressing smoothly. After three months of adjustments, the Pingzhou government affairs system has been completely cleaned up, and the lord's government orders can pass through the entire Pingzhou without hindrance!"

Deng Yan stood up and said loudly.

"My lord!" As soon as Deng Yan's words fell, Liu Yi said immediately: "For the sake of three months, the army's rectification has been successfully completed. Although there were minor twists and turns during the period, the Pingzhou Army lived up to the high expectations of the initiative and completed the completion of the Pingzhou Army. Thorough cleansing. What the lord's sharp blade is pointing at, it will be restrained by the battle flag of the Pingzhou Army!"

Shang Ji looked at the two with a smile, and nodded in satisfaction.

The three-month military and political rectification is not easy, especially in the military. The specific content of the small twists and turns that Liu Yi mentioned is: a total of 19 rebellions involving more than 10,000 people, 1,867 military officers and family members were executed, dismissed from their posts, and more than 12,000 people were imprisoned. A total of 13,000 person-time job adjustments have been made within the military system, and more than half of the original Pingzhou army has been disbanded on the spot or downgraded to township bravery.

For a period of time, there were wars everywhere in Pingzhou. If there were not more than a dozen powerful generals including Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Su Huan, and Zhang Yun, and the former Liaodong elite army of millions of elites suppressed it, Pingzhou might have really fallen into chaos.

Fortunately, the result was good. After enduring the pain of reform, Pingzhou entered a stage of rapid development.

Seventy percent of the construction of the 4 million regular army that Shang Ji had in mind has been completed, and the remaining finishing work is expected to be completely completed within a month.

The construction of another 1.8 million war army has been completed one step ahead of schedule, that is to say, there are now more than 1.8 million rank-5 troops under Shang Ji's command!

This is a very scary number. Before Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, due to years of slack in military equipment, Luoyang's northern army might not have assembled two million fifth-level elites.

"Hongzhu, tell us about the development of Pingzhou in the past few months, so as to give everyone a boost!"

Shang Ji chuckled and waved to Deng Yan.

Deng Yan stood up with a smile on his face, cleared his throat, and a loud voice sounded in the hall: "It is no exaggeration to describe Pingzhou as changing with each passing day in the past three months!"

"The first is the population. Now our total population in Pingzhou has exceeded 90 million. As of yesterday, the specific number is 92.67 million!"

Speaking of this, Deng Yan smiled and said: "It seems that the strategic goal we formulated at the beginning was a bit low. In just three months, the total population has exceeded 90 million. After three years, our population will have to exceed 90 million. Five hundred million!"

Everyone laughed when they heard the words, Shang Ji also showed a smile, waved his hand and said: "Don't be too optimistic, the population growth in the past three months is mainly due to the population trade with Yanhuang,

Such good days are rare. We have to down-to-earth encourage births and attract immigrants! "

"My lord has taught me a lesson, my subordinates must remember it!"

But even if the influence of Yanhuang is excluded, the population growth of Pingzhou has exceeded everyone's expectations.

Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, was incompetent. Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion ended, the situation in Jizhou could not be stabilized for a long time. The Yellow Turban Army was gone, but bandits from all over the place swarmed up. Faced with this situation, Han Fu was helpless.

The long-lasting war caused the number of refugees in Jizhou to expand rapidly, and Shang Ji took this opportunity to recruit people in Jizhou.

Without any additional cost, as long as some rations are provided, these refugees will obediently drag their families and run away with Shangji.

Instead of stopping this, Han Fu provided convenience as much as possible.

Population is a precious resource for Pingzhou, which has a vast area and sparsely populated areas, but it becomes a burden to be able to live in a densely populated area like Jizhou! Especially the hungry and screaming refugees, who may become the source of turmoil at any time.

Han Fu is eager to recruit more refugees to relieve the pressure on Jizhou.

"Hong Zhuo, let's talk about other aspects. Our changes in the past three months are not limited to the population surge!"

Deng Yan nodded and continued: "Within three months, we built 480 new villages in Pingzhou, of which 300 were solely funded by us. We provided funds and materials for 121 villages. Provide development planning, and participate in management. The rest is a joint venture village!"

"The development momentum of these more than 400 villages is good. Not only have a large number of immigrants been resettled, many villages have initially achieved a balance of income and expenditure, and even a very small number of villages have begun to make profits, which has improved a lot for us. Such basic materials. This is a very good phenomenon. In recent days, the number of aliens who have asked the city lord's mansion about related issues has increased sharply. After the lord's wedding, it is expected that there may be a wave of village construction. The success rate of the Wancun plan is very high !"

"Well, it's a good start. For the aliens who actively invest, we must support them normally and ensure their safety. Yanchen, the military situation submitted by the alien village must be taken seriously. If there are any bandits or herds of beasts, we must The processing was completed in the shortest possible time. If someone is biased because of their identity as a different person, they must be dealt with seriously! Don't affect the overall image of our Pingzhou because of the bad performance of a few people!"

"Of course, the crimes committed by aliens must be dealt with impartially. Be sure to treat them fairly and equally!"

"The last general obeys the order!" Su Huan hurriedly got up and replied.

Shang Ji nodded, signaling Deng Yan to continue.

"In terms of urban construction, many cities with serious defects have been repaired accordingly. However, because Pingzhou owed too much debt in the early years and the amount of funds needed to repair the city was too large, the city temporarily only repaired some important buildings. Several gentlemen It means that it is hoped that in three years, the existing more than 300 cities in Pingzhou can be restored to normal levels!"

"Well, this matter cannot be rushed, but I request that military-related buildings must be repaired first."

"Well, my subordinates understand that military buildings have always been in the first sequence of Pingzhou construction!" Deng Yan nodded solemnly.

The current situation in the whole world is very strange. On the surface, singing and dancing are peaceful, even though Jizhou is full of bandits, it is just ringworm and scabies. Little impact on the world.

Even generally speaking, the strength of the big man is still rising rapidly. However, under the superficial prosperity, undercurrents are surging everywhere, and the newly born princes of all walks of life are trying their best to accumulate strength.

Under such circumstances, Shang Ji certainly did not dare to ignore military development.

"In terms of taxation, there are also frequent success stories!"

"Although most of these three months have been uneven." Speaking of this, Deng Yan glanced resentfully at the generals sitting on the other side. The generals headed by Liu Yi looked straight ahead, not looking at Deng Yan at all.

"Under the premise of continuous rebellion everywhere, Pingzhou's taxation in the past three months has not only not declined, but has increased to varying degrees, with an average increase of 30% year-on-year. In addition, the Government Affairs Office estimates that next month's tax The growth rate is likely to exceed 100%. According to the development of this situation, in three years, our Pingzhou can basically achieve a balance of financial revenue and expenditure, and even achieve a slight surplus!"

The substantial increase in taxation is firstly due to the increase in population.

In addition, although Deng Yan complained that the generals started one war after another non-stop, it was precisely because of the war that all the thieves and bandits in Pingzhou were wiped out, and the public security situation in Pingzhou was unprecedentedly good. When public security improves, tax increases will naturally follow.

Another point is that now that Shang Ji is in charge of Pingzhou, and Xianbei is in civil strife, the Xianbei rangers that can be seen everywhere on the frontier in the past have all disappeared.

Without the harassment of the Xianbei people, the development of Pingzhou will naturally be smoother.

In fact, in addition to tax revenue, Shang Ji also made a big deal!

Bu Dugen of Xianbei got in touch with Shang Ji and asked Shang Ji to buy weapons, armor and food.

The struggle between Bu Dugen and Ke Bineng has entered a fierce stage, and the two have fought with real knives and guns on the grassland several times.

In the overall situation, Ke Bi Neng was more dominant, and Bu Dugen, who fell into a disadvantage, decisively abandoned the righteousness of Xianbei and asked for help from Shang Ji, the mortal enemy of Xianbei.

After convening a small closed-door meeting, Shang Ji agreed to Bu Dugen's request to purchase weapons and armor, and sold the two million sets of ordinary-grade equipment obtained from the rectification of Pingzhou County soldiers at a rather exaggerated price. Budugen! As for the food, I can only express my apologies, he is still short of food!

Although he didn't buy any food, Bu Dugen recovered some of his disadvantages with the help of the equipment secretly supported by Shang Ji, and now the two are still fighting on the grassland.

This transaction was carried out in secret, and even the core executives of the Pingzhou Army didn't know much about it. This transaction also provided Shangji with more than 30 million yuan of funds, but this fund did not appear in Pingzhou's accounts, and Deng Yan's statistics of financial growth did not calculate this part.

"In addition, we have also achieved good results in the construction of Chidao construction, academies, private schools, medical centers, martial arts halls and other facilities. As long as the funds can keep up, there will be no problem in completing the scheduled goals within three years! And it is very likely to exceed the target on a large scale! "

Deng Yan finally ended with this sentence, ending the report on government affairs.
