Datang: Angry at Li Er, he still begged me to come out of the mountain

Chapter 240 About the Future Development of the Western Zhou Dynasty

Jiang Yunqing had a very strong premonition that a huge change would take place here in a short amount of time, but he only had tens of thousands of people in his hands, so how would he guard this place and the people here? ?

After walking through the main thoroughfare of Xizhou City, Jiang Yunqing came to the city wall of Xizhou City.

The desert wind and sand blowing in the face made Xizhou City look like a lonely old man lingering in his dying years.

The first one grabbed a handful of the earthen city wall built with earth, and looking at his own earth, Jiang Yunqing became more and more sure that the city wall was definitely not defensive, it just looked like this.

It just looks like it.

And foreign enemies did not dare to invade, but Li Shimin's Majesty Khan's majesty was there that day. In the final analysis, it was not about how powerful the Xizhou city walls and Xizhou soldiers were, but how powerful Datang was.

"Lord Duan, what do you think of this city wall?" Jiang Yunqing asked with a gloomy expression.

"This..." Duan Tianping looked a little embarrassed, "General Yun, you know it yourself, why bother asking more."

Compared with the impregnable Chang'an City Wall, this city wall is like a child playing house. These earthen walls are probably not as good as the wooden fences outside Jiangjiazhuang. If there is really an enemy invasion, this The walls fall when they are pushed.

"Bluestone, sandstone, glutinous rice!" Jiang Yunqing sighed helplessly. He really is a man with money, but it's hard for a man without money. Money has to be earned by trying to find a way. How can it come out of thin air.

The poverty in Xizhou far exceeded his imagination. If he wanted to build Xizhou, everything would have to start from scratch, which made Jiang Yunqing feel extremely difficult.

Governor's Mansion!
A group of Western State officials are sitting here.

Jiang Yunqing took out a stack of thick paper and put it in Duan Tianping's hands.

"The handwriting is very good."

But when he looked down at what was written on the paper in his hand, Duan Tianping's face immediately became very ugly.

These are the initial construction methods of Xizhou. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than: making the business bigger and stronger, recruiting workers and investment, building cities, and expanding the territory.

Originally, when a new official took office, he was not allowed to interfere with the place where he was appointed. However, Jiang Dalangjun did the opposite and acted very anxious. Although he had obtained the military power, he knew that Duan Tianping still had his heart in mind. Li dissatisfied with him.

Jiang Yunqing knew that Gao Hu was really convinced of the six thousand soldiers, but it was still hard to say about the other two Guogang captains, especially the Xizhou soldiers and horses. It was obvious at a glance that they were definitely veterans in the officialdom. , It's just mixed with smooth essence and smooth essence.

As an outstanding officer in his previous life, Jiang Yunqing really hoped to integrate military and political affairs, but now reality tells him that this is indeed impossible in Xizhou. The separation of military and political affairs is to give Duan Tianping and the officials of Xizhou a chance, a Steps, but if they are all so ignorant, don't blame Jiang Yunqing's sword for not recognizing people.

Today's officialdom is completely different from the officialdom of later generations with a complete system. If an official now comes here for the first time, he is just a solitary person, a mere commander. If he wants to integrate into the local group, he will definitely not be able to do it without someone for three to five years. .

The purpose of Jiang Yunqing's coming to Xizhou is also very simple, to find trouble, to train troops, to fight whenever he can, and to shoot anyone who can get his hands.

He also doesn't want to engage in cliques and private interests in this poor place in Xizhou. If you make me look good and give me face, I will naturally make you look good and give you face. But if you don't know how to be funny, then It's hard to say.

If a city wants to develop, safety must be the primary issue. It is a matter of survival. If it can't withstand a piss, what safety is there?

Therefore, the city wall must be built. If it is said that the governor's mansion can't afford the money, Jiang Yunqing will not believe it even if he is beaten to death.

"General Yun, this, I don't understand?" Duan Tianping is just pretending to be stupid.

"I don't understand, come on, let me explain it to you."

Jiang Yunqing looked at Duan Tianping, and said, "Master Duan, you have said it yourself. Now those people from other countries regard Xizhou City as a big piece of fat, so they need to be cured. Simply put, it is a serious illness with strong medicine." .”

"Why do you use strong medicine for a serious illness?"

"There are five counties under the city of Xizhou, but the population is not very large, so sometimes it is troublesome to do things. The most important thing now is to expand the city, attract residents, and make the population of Xizhou City more abundant. The population is large. There will be more merchants, and the common people will have something to eat, drink and do things, and there will be no harm at all. A country is people-oriented, and so is the city.

Moreover, grass seeds are distributed to the common people, and they are all used for greening the land, and those that can be greened are counted as theirs, and the grassland is used to raise chickens. "

I talked about raising chickens again, but Duan Tianping didn't pass it.

"Significant matters such as recruiting an army must be reported to the court and await the court's approval. The difference between a city of 2 people and a city of 10 people is simply a world of difference."

Ha ha!

Jiang Yunqing understood that this Duan Tianping didn't want to have a good time, but he didn't want to talk to him either. He said to himself, "Recruiting workers, recruiting workers widely, as many as there are, and building a city is a must. I guess Lord Duan would like it too." Want the handle of an extremely strong city wall?"

"Well, this official can promise you, this is also the most important duty of the court governor." Duan Tianping said.

"The other thing is to recruit soldiers from the army. Otherwise, how can we defend the city with 4000 people? It will definitely not work."

"Wait a minute!" Duan Tianping looked at Jiang Yunqing dumbfounded, "General Yun, what do you mean? What do you mean by four thousand defenders?"

"Gao Hu's two thousand troops and horses have been controlled by Li Yueniang. They were taken over by me. Now aren't there only four thousand defenders left in Xizhou City?"

Duan Tianping: "..." Is there anyone who handles things like you?
"General Yun, you need to wait for the court's approval to recruit troops and buy horses. Doing this privately is considered treason. This is killing without mercy." Duan Tianping said with a slumped face.

"If the imperial court does not allow recruitment, there are only 4000 people, so tell me, how to defend the city?"

Jiang Yunqing looked at Duan Tianping and said: "I have something to say first, my special forces will not help you defend the city, and the special forces are not in the Tang army."

"If something goes wrong, will General Yun be responsible?" Duan Tianping looked at Jiang Yunqing and asked.

"Do you think Jiang doesn't usually study?
There are three levels of repeaters, upper, middle and lower. The upper class has 200 people, and it can be increased to a maximum of 500 people. There are 1000 people in the central government and 800 people in the lower government. Each government has a Zhechong captain. , left and right, Guoyi Duwei, Biejiang, Changshi, Bingcao, and Junjun.

According to the level of the military system, Xizhou is the upper mansion, and there is one Zhechong mansion in each county. There are five counties below Xizhou, that is, there can be a maximum of 500 people. If you go to recruit 500 people, it is not too much, it is completely in line. "
