My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 215 Post-War Summary Meeting (Part )

"Unconsciously, Luwu has gradually become a place that we can rely on as a foundation!"

"It's just that Fengxian, Hou Cheng and others are not here. They are all guarding different places, which is not very good."

After understanding the situation, Lu Yi did not immediately make any arrangements or orders. Instead, he sighed with some melancholy.

"Brother, what's the problem?"

Cheng Lian heard how sad he sounded and quickly stood up to comfort him.

"Wait until the Xianbei retreat, then we brothers can drink together all night long!"

"Haha, that's true..."

Lu Yi smiled once, then put away the smile on his face.

Everyone perked up upon seeing this, they knew that this was a sign of Lu Yi's seriousness.

"In this battle, Gao Shun, you and the eight hundred cavalrymen have made great contributions, and you must be rewarded handsomely!"

"In addition to the double military pay and per capita bounty during the war, each of the other 800 cavalrymen will be rewarded with 10,000 coins!"

"Gao Shun, as the commander-in-chief, has made great contributions in commanding the army, so I will reward you with 100,000 yuan."

"In addition, the rewards for the disabled will be doubled, and those killed in battle will be ten times the rewards!"

"Gao Shun would like to thank the Pavilion Master for his appreciation and reward on behalf of his men!"

As soon as Lu Yi said this, Gao Shun immediately bowed down with an excited look on his face.

He did not value the material things that Lu Yi rewarded him with, but he valued Lu Yi's ability to value him so much and rely on his behavior even more.

The so-called scholar dies for a confidant.

As a man with a deep scholar spirit in his heart, Gao Shun has found a confidant for whom he can die.

The others looked at Gao Shun with envy.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Yi gave a reward of nearly 10 million yuan.

They would be lying if they said they weren't envious.

But no matter how envious he was, Gao Shun and his 800 men had been living in the open air for half a year, hiding in the Taihang Mountains, and their bodies and minds were put to great test.

This battle would decide the outcome of the battle. Otherwise, relying on the 2,000 auxiliary troops in Luwu, if they rashly went out of the city and fought against the Xianbei people, they would surely be defeated.

Therefore, although everyone was envious of Gao Shun and others, they did not feel the slightest bit of jealousy in their hearts.

After Gao Shun left, Lu Yi looked at Cheng Lian who was looking expectant.

"Although Gao Shun and his eight hundred men are extremely brave, I have also seen the contributions made by you, Cheng Lian, and your two thousand auxiliary soldiers day and night."

"Two thousand auxiliary soldiers performed their duties faithfully and protected our Luwu from loss, which is also a great achievement."

"Like the other guys, in addition to the normal military pay, each person will be given an additional 3,000 coins as a special reward for defending the city!"

"Since Cheng Lian is the main commander, he will also be rewarded tenfold like Gao Shun, 30,000 coins!"

"Cheng Lian thanks you for the reward, Master!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Lian excitedly bowed and accepted the reward.

Gao Shun and his 800 cavalrymen served as a special force.

Not only is the training intensity greater, but the combat risks are also greater. Therefore, both the daily military pay and the post-war rewards are higher than those of Commander Cheng Lian's two thousand auxiliary troops.

Cheng Lian did not feel the slightest bit unhappy about this.

"In addition, I will not forget the contributions and efforts of the four village heads, Zhao Nong, Qian Sang, and Wang He."

"Once the war starts, no one will be spared once the city is breached."

"And the successful protection of Luwu over the past six months is also inseparable from the efforts of everyone!"

"Except for this newly captured horse, all the people in Luwu will be rewarded 2,000 yuan for men, and half the reward for the elderly, women and children will be 1,000 yuan. Everyone will get a share!"

"And the several managers have worked very hard in the past six months. The reward for each person will be increased fivefold to 10,000 coins!" "We would like to thank you for the reward, Master!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Nong, Qian Sang, Wang He and others all bowed to Lu Yi with joy and accepted the reward.

Seeing that Lu Yi had been giving out rewards for a long time, it was finally their turn, so they were all very happy.

After Lu Yi rewarded the soldiers, he naturally would not forget the officials in charge of the civil affairs system.

Civil affairs and military affairs are interdependent.

No matter how brave and capable a military is, it is only superficial.

The civil affairs system that continuously provides nourishment to the military and inputs soldiers is the more core content and cornerstone.

Even if the divine army descends from the sky, their food, wages and supplies will be cut off.

The soldiers would be defeated in an instant if they had no money, no food, no weapons and no protective gear.

Therefore, Lu Yi attached more importance to the civil system which did not have brilliant military achievements.

Fortunately, after more than a year of running-in, this civil affairs system has become increasingly mature.

The first step was to absorb refugees, servants and other illegal residents of the imperial court into the Luwu system.

The second step is screening and training. After kicking out some bad apples, these illegal households will become Lu Yi's private property. Lu Yi will screen and divert them on the basis of stabilizing their hearts and ensuring their lives.

Most healthy men would be assigned to the farmers they were most familiar with.

They farm during the farming season, train during the leisure time, and serve as auxiliary troops during the war. They are the main force guarding Luwu.

Because farming and defense were integrated, it was not too difficult for Lu Yi to mobilize 2,000 auxiliary troops, which accounted for one-third of the original population of 6,000 to 7,000.

The food they ate was produced by their own farming, and their skills were honed during their spare time.

As for the creation and preparation of weapons and equipment, it is also one of their important tasks in daily life.

Lu Yi was very strict in assessing the farming and defense auxiliary soldiers, and his reward, punishment and promotion systems were also very detailed and open and transparent.

Therefore, no matter when and where, as long as there is a powerful enemy attacking, Luwu has the most basic defensive force.

Only a few loyal, reliable and physically fit strong men will be selected to serve as full-time professional men.

Lu Yi’s training and assessment standards for them were even more stringent.

Correspondingly, the food and wages were far beyond what ordinary tenant farmers could imagine.

The food standard of at least one meat meal a day was guaranteed at the end of the Han Dynasty, and even some minor nobles could only afford it.

If they were even worse off, they might even eat worse than Lu Yi's soldiers.

Normally, they serve as caravan servants and are the guarantee of the Lu family caravan's business trip.

Once war comes, they will assemble immediately and can be transformed into the most advantageous spears in Lu Yi's hands when he takes the initiative to attack!
in this way.

One mile, one meter.

One farming and one fighting.

A two-way positive cycle is formed.

As long as Lu Yi maintains this cycle and carefully controls the timing, he can make his power grow rapidly like a snowball.

However, most people can only see the splendor of a battle and a fight.

The exaggerated casualty ratio, the astonishing number of beheadings and the huge spoils were all talked about and praised by the world.

However, they naturally neglected the more important military construction, the supply of money, food and materials, as well as the maintenance of the civilian population which was ten times, dozens or even hundreds of times the number of soldiers.

However, mediocrity is the main theme of this world.

How many people can see beyond the calm and boundless surface of the deep sea and look beneath the water to get a glimpse of the full view of an iceberg that is countless times larger than the corner above the sea?
