The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 45 The Mi County Magistrate Is Coming
It can be said that the harvest captured by Tian Dan is the mine with the greatest value. The resources of this part of the mine can provide ore resources to Xinguo for a long time.

However, there is a problem here, that is, this mine is not within the scope of Xinguo.

Ren Tian looked at Tian Dan: "Commander Tian, ​​what suggestion do you have?"

"Your Majesty, this mine is of great help to the new country. In addition, after I sent people to the north to investigate, I found that the north is a vast plain. This plain is huge, with many countries, and Qinglong Mountain is just stuck in Linchuan. The passage from the county to the plain, so I suggest that the pass city be built directly on Qinglong Mountain, although it will cost a lot, but once it is completed, it will be of great benefit to the new country."

According to Tian Dan, in Ren Tian's map, there is also a gray area in the north of Qinglong Mountain. This area is called the Southern Plain, but the specific situation is unknown.

Ren Tian was also excited in his heart. Building a pass on Qinglong Mountain basically means occupying Qinglong Mountain and turning Qinglong Mountain into the territory of Xinguo.In the game, there are three states for cities and land outside the territory, which are occupation, looting, and destruction. As the name suggests, occupation is to turn land and cities into land cities of your own country, but it takes a certain amount of time; looting is robbery , to plunder the valuable items of the city; to destroy it is to burn it, to destroy the city, if I can't get you, I don't even want to get it.

The rest of the ministers in the court looked at each other, and Sikong Du Hong clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, building the pass is not an easy project. It costs about a hundred gold to transport materials and send troops to station in the construction process. Stationing is basically a financial burden on the new country.”

Sima Guobai also stood up: "Your Majesty, I don't think so. There is a mine on Qinglong Mountain. This alone can completely make up for the investment in the early stage. The minister proposed to Commander Tian to build the pass of Qinglong Mountain."

At the same time, while Ren Tian was pondering, a virtual box popped up in front of him.

"Will you adopt the minister's suggestion to build the Qinglong Mountain pass? It will take three months to build the Qinglong Mountain primary pass, and 70 craftsmen will be called in, costing [-] gold. (The more craftsmen you call, the construction time can be greatly shortened) "

Looking at the information on this virtual edict, Ren Tian naturally chose to confirm it directly.

"Of course the mine can't let it go, this matter is left to—"

Ren Tian glanced at the ministers in the court, but found that there were very few internal affairs talents available.

For example, Sikong Du Hong, Situ Zhang Guangzhi and others have several projects on their bodies, such as reclaiming farmland, renovating roads, and repairing city walls. These projects have not yet been completed, and at most they are nearing completion. Can't find it.

It seemed that Ren Tian could only choose the taller one out of the shorter ones, and chose a minister named Tian Heng. This minister was promoted from the county before, and his ability was not very strong.

Tian Heng received Ren Tian's order and immediately got up to thank him.

"Wang Xuan, I order you to practice more diligently and send troops to occupy Qinglong Mountain."

Tian Dan said again: "You can order Deputy Commander Wang to build a beacon tower on Qinglong Mountain and prepare for the beacon fire. If the pass of Qinglong Mountain is attacked, it only takes an hour to send troops from Ping County."

Ren Tian nodded: "Quasi."

It is so easy to have a capable minister, basically no need for players to use their brains, they will give various suggestions.

So Liu Bang in history has a very famous saying.

"I am not as good as Zifang in strategizing and decisively winning thousands of miles away; I am not as good as Xiao He in governing the country, caring for the people, giving them money, and keeping food and roads; even with millions of people, I am not as good as Xiao He. Han Xin. The three are outstanding people, and I can use them, which is why I take over the world."

For a good monarch, knowing people and making good use of them is the most important thing.

A virtual imperial decree appeared in front of him, Ren Tian pondered for a moment, put a jade seal on the imperial decree, and then there was a ding.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict said:
The terrain of Qinglong Mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are important resources in the mine. Tian Heng is now in charge of the construction of Qinglong Mountain pass.This is it. "

The content of this edict is still half-literal, but the meaning is easy to understand.

All in all, the capture of Qinglongzhai this time is really very rewarding, including population, cattle and sheep, horses, and treasures, the very precious blueprint of the Bandit Barracks, and the mine resources on the mountain. , The use of troops in Qinglongzhai is definitely the most correct thing.

War is indeed very costly, but if war can bring huge benefits to make up for the loss, then there is every reason to wage war.

This time, the discussion on the military situation is basically coming to an end, but Fang Ren cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to announce."

"Play."

Fang Ren was a courtier who was sent to Mi County last time, and his current position is an official of Honglu Temple, in charge of the foreign affairs of the new country.

"Your Majesty, Xie Dang, the county magistrate of Mi County, has come to our new country. He has something to see His Majesty, and he is currently waiting at Honglu Temple."

Ren Tian was stunned for a while, the magistrate of Mi County came?

The rest of the ministers in the court heard it, and they also talked about it.

"The county magistrate of Mi County, seeing that my country is strong at this time, must have come to intercede."

"Before, our Xinguo traded with him. I didn't expect Mi County to reject our country and dare to humiliate His Majesty. My Xinguo assisted him regardless of the past. Could it be that Xie County Magistrate wants to make progress?"

"Your Majesty, I don't think there is any need for an interview. There is no reason for our Xin Kingdom to interview him."

Those ministers were chattering and chattering, and there was some noise in the courtroom. This kind of courtroom environment is considered normal. In the courtrooms in history, there were courtiers who called each other "his mother" and fought in front of the emperor. , is not without.

However, Ren Tian was a little curious: "Fang Aiqing, the county magistrate Xie came to our new country, why?"

"I don't know, but Magistrate Xie said that I came to thank His Majesty."

Ren Tian smiled: "In that case, let him have an audience."

Not long after, Xie Dang came in from the outside. Under the watchful eyes of the officials of the Xin Kingdom, he lowered his head and walked to the middle of the hall. Ren Tian also saw the official Xie Dang, who was probably in his 40s, so he was a bit old. up.

In ancient times, there were very few officials who were able to be ministers at a young age. Famous officials with extremely high positions must have sufficient qualifications, that is, the qualification line must be met.

"Long live, long live, Your Majesty."

A very standard etiquette.

"Flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xie Dang stood up, and Ren Tian said with great interest: "Xie County Magistrate, I heard Fang Ren say that you came here this time to thank my new country?"

"That's right, Xie is ashamed. His Majesty sent envoys to discuss trade with Mi County before, but His Majesty's envoys spoke too much. If the price increased by [-]%, my Mi County would be squeezed out, so I didn't agree. I thought it would be because of In this matter, His Majesty had a bad relationship with Mi County. Unexpectedly, when Mi County was in an emergency, His Majesty sent Commander Tian to rescue Mi County regardless of the previous suspicions. Xie was really grateful. On behalf of Mi County, thank you Xin Your Majesty."
