Chapter 276 Lianghou and Liangzhou Shepherd

  The operation process of Liang Zhoumu was still very smooth, and it came down after nearly three months.

   After taking the official position of Liangzhou Mu, the original resistance of the entire Liangzhou dropped by 90% in an instant, and some areas did not even resist, and sent a letter from afar to express their surrender.

   Then Jiang Lu arranged for manpower to reform, and divided, suppressed, and absorbed all these forces, and finally formed his forces.

  After the entire Liangzhou became his private land, corresponding modernization reforms began, and various changes continued to occur in industry, agriculture, and so on.

  In just three years, the overall productivity has increased by more than ten times.

  Now Jiang Lu is also a warlord with 100,000 sun and moon soldiers in his hands. Of course, apart from him, the strength of the soldiers under his hands has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

  Especially the few people who followed Jiang Lu at the beginning, they also had 50,000 soldiers in their hands.

  Gu Shanhai's status has also risen with the tide, and basically everything he wants will be delivered as soon as possible. For this reason, Gu Shanhai is also like a fish in water in his own research on the art of war.

  There are at least 500,000 Taoist soldiers in the entire Liangzhou. This terrifying expansion rate is due to the modernization reform.

  Gu Shanhai is naturally leading all of this. In a world with extraordinary powers, it is relatively easy to carry out such reforms, because the upper echelons are all powerful.

   What's more important is that the 500,000 soldiers are not the limit. The reason why they don't continue to expand the army is because they are worried about attracting the attention of warlords in other states.

   Yes, now is the era of warlords.

  Two years ago, after a year of entanglement between the forces of all parties, the state pastor finally formed a position that was enough to destroy Otaki.

  Nowadays, the prefectural pastoral power is a collection of administrative, judicial, financial and military powers, with the right to appoint independently, and can open the three divisions of Fuyitong, which is the existence of a small imperial court.

   This is also the case, directly weakening the power influence of the Otaki imperial power, and the local power is completely out of control.

  If it weren’t for everyone’s need for a face, keep Emperor Otaki, and now they will directly enter the script of the hegemony.

The reason why Liangzhou kept a low profile was because he was accumulating strength. Don't look at the fact that there are only 500,000 Dao soldiers now. If he really wants to fight, he can quickly train 500,000 Dao soldiers within a month. Once Liangzhou reached its limit.

  Yes, in the eyes of other states, it is unbelievable that a small Liangzhou can support a million soldiers.

  The main reason is that productivity has increased, and many problems are no longer a problem.

  The reason why there are no million Dao soldiers now is because the last person who had a million Dao soldiers is now cold.

  Although a small Xiaoliang State's 500,000 Taoist soldiers may surprise people, they are not eye-catching at all.

   After all, this is only Liangzhou, among some big states, but tens of thousands of soldiers are entrenched, this is the real warlord overlord level.

   It's like rolling out a group of monsters.

   It wasn’t so scary when we fought with the barbarians. After all, at that time, there was still imperial power to restrict the family and military masters. Now they are the masters of their own, so naturally they are a little more presumptuous.

   It is the people at the bottom who have suffered, and these costs are shared to the bottom, otherwise the high-level would be nothing.

   Liangzhou is much better. Modern agriculture, industry and other reforms have increased productivity. As long as you are willing to work, at least you can eat and drink without worrying about starvation, and you can still have a lot of money and food every year.

Gu Shanhai also talked with Li Yu once, Liangzhou is developing so well, no one is tearing at each other in terms of force, and it is not easy to attack each other, so it is possible to manipulate and invade other states through commercial and economic means, and the result is Not so good, because the commerce is not developed and the merchants are still in the cheap industry, so they are not welcomed at all.

  The words "struggling with the people for profit" suppressed the development of commerce, making the merchants' lives not so good. In fact, even in Liangzhou, many people complained about this.

But it is not without benefits. Li Yu used this momentum to incorporate many big businessmen, and under the leadership of Gu Shanhai, formed the prototype of a state-owned enterprise, took business into his hands, and then unified acquisition and unification Selling has formed a more in-depth regulation of the family and market prices.

   This has the advantage that you don't have to worry about the price fluctuation of grain, because the seller is the official power of Liangzhou.

  Of course, in order to avoid the outflow of strategic materials such as food, you need to show a local certificate if you want to buy it, and each household has a quota and rules such as not being able to buy more.

  At least, many modern systems can crush this ancient extraordinary world.

  It means that these systems cannot be copied mechanically. The premise of everything is to increase the productivity to match the conditions. If you really want to come and copy it and implement it, you may succeed, but it is more likely to abolish yourself.

   "Teacher, look." Jiang Lu hurried over.

   "Can't you be more stable? How old are you?" Gu Shanhai looked at Jiang Lu's appearance and taught him a lesson. Now he is a serious warlord, and he is still in a hurry.

   "We'll talk about Wenjian later, the imperial court has granted me the title of Marquis." Jiang Lu hurriedly put a copy of the imperial edict on the table.

  Gu Shanhai opened it and saw that Jiang Lu had become Marquis of Liang and led Liang Zhou Mu.

   "How did this good thing fall into your hands?" Gu Shanhai was a little puzzled, there must have been some marquises, and the previous group of warlords who came back from Yong'an were also conferred marquises.

  Under normal circumstances, Jiang Lu is not qualified for this, and even if it is not possible to operate it.

   It was a special period when Liangzhou Mu was operating. Even at that time, Gu Shanhai didn't think about operating a Lianghou, but now it's a good thing, and he just gave it away for nothing. What a matter.

   "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. I don't know. I have to wait for the spies from Yong'an to report back. This matter is a bit deep." Jiang Lu also said after calming down.

  He is also full of doubts about this.

  It is unlikely that there will be a pie in the sky, and it is more likely to fall into a trap, so he came to Gu Shanhai immediately.

   It's just a done deal, there is really no way to solve it.

  The imperial edicts have all come down, and it is impossible to accept them.

  Gu Shanhai didn't have any clue, and then he investigated through prophecy and divination.

   I discovered a very interesting thing, that is, not only Jianglu was made a marquis, but all the prefectures were made marquises, and the prefects who were originally marquises were promoted to a higher level and directly made kings.

   All of a sudden, everyone has become a power of princes, and it is completely confirmed that everyone is the essence of warlords.

   More importantly, Emperor Taki died.

  That's right, he fell into the water and died. As for whether it was true or not, Gu Shanhai didn't pursue it. He only knew that the newly appointed Emperor Taki was less than three years old.

  The edict to confer king and marquis was issued by the previous Emperor Taki, who died the next day after it was issued.

  The edict will definitely not arrive in Liangzhou in a day, it will take a while.

   At least half a month.

   Judging from this series of strange methods, it should be someone who wants to change from a prince to a king with a different surname.

  The attack was quick, accurate and ruthless, and it also blocked everyone's mouths. Everyone benefits, so don't beep, if you don't take it to show that you are noble, you will become an outlier, don't blame everyone for killing you.

"Nowadays, it is the best way to respond to all changes with the same. It is still the same sentence, to build a city with a large amount of food." Gu Shanhai sees it very clearly. Taki is a fig leaf, whoever strikes first will be unlucky.

   It’s okay to be king slowly, now it’s just a prelude to the troubled times, it’s not suitable to shout this sentence, because no one wanted to be king at all.

   It can only be said that the person who came up with this trick was stupid, and kept consuming Otaki's prestige to continue this fuse, but everyone wanted to say hurry up and start fighting.

  Even Gu Shanhai had the same idea, he was quick to say: boring, I want to see blood flow into rivers.

The main reason is that he wants to watch the big scene, collect the evil spirit of the army, etc. to build white tigers, but all of them fall into a strange peace. Early birds.

   If Liangzhou's great situation is really defeated, who will provide him with resources to study various experiments.

   "Is there a way to find out who came up with this idea?" Gu Shanhai asked again.

   "Still investigating, it will take a while, teacher, you also know that our overall power is no match for those big states." Jiang Lu also said helplessly.

  Although it has developed rapidly in the past three years, the corresponding background is still too poor.

Take the spies as an example. There are quite a few people who have been sent to Yong'an over the years, but the information sent back is not very precious. It is basically ordinary information, but it was passed to him in advance, and the timeliness is not very good. .

  His edict of the marquis has arrived, but the spies have not had any information about it until now, and they don't even know about the marquis.

   "Tsk, I'm afraid this matter will be troublesome." Gu Shanhai was thinking and didn't know how long it would take.

   "How much trouble can it be?" Jiang Lu rarely heard Gu Shanhai say trouble.

   "It's so troublesome that someone might blackmail the emperor to order the princes." Gu Shanhai couldn't help but think of this matter.

Jiang Lu was a little puzzled, what kind of trouble is this, Emperor Long is just a puppet, no one can listen to his orders, even a royal family member like him ignores Emperor Long, let alone other princes and kings with different surnames .

  If someone really wants to listen, it won't be reduced to this level.

  At this time, Jiang Lu didn't know that Emperor Taki had changed, so he was naturally a little confused.

   "Just wait, maybe in a few days we will be on the side of Lord Qing again. This time, maybe we can join in the fun."

   Not everyone can do it by coercing the emperor to make the princes. You have to have enough strength to do it. Without the corresponding strength, it is almost like dying.

  Cao Cao’s ability to handle Han Xiandi for a lifetime is because he has enough strength. Isn’t that what Dong Zhuo did before, and the result was not so fast.

   "Really? But it's better to go to the Qing emperor's side." Jiang Lu didn't finish his sentence because it was inappropriate to say it.

What he meant was that it would be better to take the opportunity to engulf the neighbors for real money. If he really wants to come to the side of the Qing Dynasty again, most people's attention will be diverted away, and he will even bring his main force to greedy for cheap. Wouldn't it be a good start? opportunity.

   Going to the side of the Qing Dynasty, earning fame, not earning profit.

   "The idea is very good, but are you sure you can not go if you don't want to?" Gu Shanhai teased.

  Many things are beyond our control.

"I can go, but it's not impossible to do both. It's enough for me to take 100,000 sun and moon Taoist soldiers." Jiang Lu knew that he must go, but he just went. Then expand.

   "Wait. You don't intend to let me come, do you?" Gu Shanhai suddenly realized that in the two-pronged approach, Jiang Lu would definitely not be able to take charge of the overall situation after leaving.

   Letting Zhanyan or his three sworn brothers or even Li Yu and others come, it is definitely not enough to suppress the scene, and it is not qualified.

   Only Gu Shanhai can make these people obey.

  If someone dares to violate or question, without Gu Shanhai's presence, Li Yu and others will immediately come forward to let the other party understand Gu Shanhai's status in Liangzhou.

   "Teacher, your intuition in terms of work is terrifying." Jiang Lu only felt relieved to hand over the rear area to Gu Shanhai, and he himself was not at ease if he gave it to other people.

   "It has nothing to do with intuition, I know what you want to do just by opening your mouth." Gu Shanhai was a little speechless, no matter what, he was also his apprentice, if he really didn't understand anything, how could he be a master.

   "If this matter is true as you guessed, teacher, then Liangzhou's follow-up plan will require you to sit in charge." Jiang Lu also put away his playful smile, and then said seriously.

"Leave it to me, work hard." Gu Shanhai shook his head a little helplessly, but fortunately he didn't have much to do, and more of it was to calm down the scene as a Dinghai magic needle, and the rest, whether it was Zhanyan or Li Yu and the others, were all for him. have relevant experience.

   "The situation is changing day by day. I never thought that in just a few years, the entire Otaki would be corrupted to this extent." Jiang Lu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

  Before the barbarians, Otaki still had the same scenery, but because of the corvee, he was defeated.

  Gu Shanhai didn't talk too much about this topic, but drove people away directly: "You are so free today, how can you still have time to sigh?"

   "Ah, here." Jiang Lu smiled resentfully, and then said, "Don't you think the timing is just right?"

   "Okay, you're done feeling, it's time to go back and deal with official business." Gu Shanhai said it a bit blatantly, and he was more tactful just now.

  Hearing this, Jiang Lu had no choice but to leave. He wanted to fish for a while, but Gu Shanhai ruthlessly drove him back to work.

  After leaving Gu Shanhai's mansion, he immediately underwent a huge change, becoming a self-indulgent and self-angry existence, showing his emotions and anger.

   The aura exuded by him is that of a high-ranking person who has been in a high position for a long time, not a disciple who complained to Gu Shanhai.

  A person who can master the military and political affairs of a state, and lead the army to attack the city by taking the lead, how could it be a person who is out of tune.
