Chu Ning led Bai Su into the conference room, and the chiefs of various departments sitting on both sides of the long conference table stood up and saluted, and Chu Ning returned the salute and then took their seats.

Civil affairs officers headed by Huo Yunshu and Qing'er sat on Chuning's left; military officers headed by Mrs. Yan and Liu Changgui sat on Chuning's right.There was a long conference table in the middle, and they looked at each other awkwardly.It was the first time for them to experience this face-to-face discussion method, and they were still mixed men and women.

This is the first time that the large meeting room has been used after the Liaodong County Guard's Mansion was built. Not only did the custom of kneeling and sitting on formal occasions in the Daqing Dynasty change, but it also changed the habit of sitting casually in discussions of the former Weimin Army.

Of course, this is not the seating order that Chu Ning forced to set, but before Chun Ning came in, after disregarding factors such as gender, family background, fame, seniority, etc., these people were ranked solely based on their positions in the Liaodong County Governor's Mansion sitting times.

As Bai Su sat down next to Chuning, everyone turned their attention to Bai Su.

Although there are rumors like "Chu Shijun is Bai's maid" and so on, and although everyone knows that there is Bai Su standing behind Chu Ning, this is the first time that Bai Su has participated in the affairs of Chu Ning's subordinates. Sitting next to Chuning.

This means that from now on, Bai Su's status under Chuning's command—that is, the entire Liaodong power group—is no lower than that of Huo Yunshu and Mrs. Yan.

On the civil affairs officer side, the current number of people is relatively small. Apart from Huo Yunshu and Huo Wanqing, there are only Xie Yunzhu, Zhu Erxi, Wang Yuande, Jia Pei, Zhang Bo, He Qilang and others.Zhuo Yuan, as the head of the Craftsmanship Division, was in charge of developing ordnance, and originally wanted to sit on the military officer's side, but after seeing Huo Wanqing, he didn't hesitate to sit on the civil affairs side.Anyway, in Zhang Bo's Public Works Bureau, the iron materials used to make farm tools are all refined by his craftsman, so it won't look inappropriate to sit here.

Although Feng Jiuqing took the post of Director-General of the Department of Foreign Affairs, but now the Department of Foreign Affairs is just an empty shelf. Chuning treats her as a brick, and moves it wherever it is needed. If she can write documents, she can cultivate fields. When she is not around, she can still stay behind and stay calm.It's just that at this moment, she was sent by Chu Ning to check the rented house and hasn't come back yet, so if she was here, she would also sit with Huo Yunshu.

On the military officer's side, there are Mrs. Yan, Liu Changgui, Yan Lingge, Sun Xing, Chu Rou, He Wu, Peng Yong and others. In addition, the twelve chief inspectors of the Zhaoyi Army, besides Chen Fu, are still stationed in Huang County. In addition, the remaining eleven all participated in this meeting.

What was more embarrassing was Qu Ruzhong, who was now transferred from the Zhaoyi Army by Chu Ning and took the post of Chief of the Security Department.However, in Chuning’s previous organizational structure, there were separate named divisions, such as Operations Research Division, Xuanjia Division, String Control Division, Xiaoqi Division...these are all paid a bit higher than Zhaoyi Army’s Procuratorial Division .Therefore, Qu Ruzhong can neither return to the Zhaoyi Army now, nor dare to sit on the side of the civil affairs officer rashly, for fear that he will sit in the wrong position and stand on the wrong side.

After Chu Ning sat down, he looked at the clearly defined sitting time and remained silent. After a while, he waved his hand to signal Qu Ruzhong to sit by Huo Yunshu's side, which set the tone for his future position.

"This time I gathered you all in Muyang City. I wanted to take advantage of the New Year's Eve to have a reunion together." Most of the people present knew each other, and Chuning didn't need to introduce any more, just said: "However, recently There are a few things that my envoy can't make up his mind for a while, so I invite you to come here to discuss in detail for this envoy."

Following Chuning's words, the hearts of all the people in the room began to thump - what happened this evening had already reached their ears, and they thought it was not a big deal at first, after all, such things as buying and selling wives and children , can be seen everywhere throughout the Daqing Dynasty, not to mention that the law did not prohibit it, even if it was expressly prohibited by the Daqing law, the court would not be able to control it.

However, now it seems that the newly appointed Liaodong female sheriff seems to be very concerned about this matter.

As Chu Ning spoke, he observed the expressions of everyone, some disapproving, some seriously thinking, some nervous and apprehensive... Including Huo Yunshu and Mrs. Yan, they didn't take it too seriously.

Seeing this, Chuning knew that it was not a good time to bring up this matter, so the words on his lips became: "I think you all know that although I, Chu Ning, now bear the name of Liaodong County Governor, but in reality In fact, it is still in the territory under the name of the county guard, which is just the Shepherd City."

Everyone sitting here, except Chuning himself, even Bai Su thought that she would bring up the matter of He Xiu and others in Muyang City, but unexpectedly, Chu Ning surprised everyone by making Madam Yan hang up the Liaodong County map.

"According to the latest information sent back by the Military Intelligence Department, General Gu Wenxiong and the fifth prince stopped at Qielu City after taking back Bintu, Jiaoli and other counties in western Liaoning, and confronted Murong Xianbei across Yiwuli Mountain."

Qielu City, the prefecture of Liaoxi County, is near Fuxin City in Chu Ning's previous life. Yiwulu Mountain is called Yiwulu Mountain, which is the dividing line between Liaodong and Liaoxi counties. The west side of the mountain is Liaoxi County, and the east side of the mountain is Liaodong County.

"What do you mean by facing off across the mountain?" Mrs. Yan stood at the other end of the long table, opposite to Chuning, her eyes slowly swept across the people present, and she said in a deep voice, "It means that we don't care about our Liaodong life or death."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the people present changed dramatically, but Madam Yan pointed at the map with a wooden stick again, and continued: "The current Liaodong County is divided into three parts. The area above Xiangping County is in the hands of Murong Xianbei; Tacheng from the county government down to Taxian County is in the hands of Goguryeo; and Muyang City...is right under our feet."

Xiangping, the prefecture of Liaodong, is located in the Liaoyang area of ​​Chuning's previous life, and there is a city of Anshan nearby, which was once known as the steel capital of the sky/chapo.There is also a city of Fushun nearby, known as the coal capital of Tian/Chao.

The iron mines in Anshan, the coal mines in Fushun, and the gold mines in Jilin, these three are the places that Chuning dreamed of acquiring besides Dalian.

Now, Anshan is called Xinchang County, and Fushun is called Houcheng, both of which are in the hands of Xianbei.As for Jilin...Chuning doesn't know what it's called now. It should be within [-] miles north of the capital city of Goguryeo, Wandu. I don't know if it's in the hands of Goguryeo or Xianbei.According to Feng Jiuqing, there is still a remaining tribe of Donghu, and two tribes that split off from Donghu, Shiwei and Khitan, and there is another Yilou. Anyway, it is a mess.

Although Mrs. Yan only hung up a picture of Liaodong County, looking at the large area of ​​green occupied by Xianbei and the large area of ​​red occupied by Goguryeo, and looking at the blue color of her two-year-old child the size of a palm, everyone present felt a little Terrible.

Especially Chuning, even though he had already made psychological preparations, he still felt delicate under the strong contrast.

Originally, the town of Ta County was still there, that is, Pulandian in Dalian in Chu Ning's previous life, but since Ta Lao Xianzun led people to Muyang City last month, even that side was taken over by Goguryeo.

So, now the land of Chu Ning, the governor of Liaodong County, is really pitifully small, and the emperor in Chang'an City actually used such a small piece of land and an empty name to exchange [-] yuan with Chuning. , is simply blackmail.In comparison, Xiao Hongfei's [-] guan was spent too much. The huge Liaoxi County has now been taken back. Even though most of the population has been taken away by Xianbei, the territory is still there anyway, and it looks comfortable.

"After reading the map, do you have anything to say?"

Chuning glanced at everyone present, but lowered their heads one by one, no one dared to meet her eyes.

"Since you don't want to talk about it, let me tell you."

Chuning rhythmically knocked on the table a few times, like thunder, knocking on the hearts of everyone, he couldn't help pulling himself together, for fear that the female sheriff would feel uncomfortable seeing that her territory was too small, and deliberately find a mistake , Ask someone to blame—didn't you see that the few people who came from Huang County yesterday were all driven to the quarantine area by her, and they were not released until now?

What was the meaning behind this move? Although Chuning did not express it clearly, everyone present was clearly aware of it.

"My envoy heard that there is a gold mine in Black Bone City."

All of a sudden, Chuning dropped a thunderbolt to everyone's surprise, and before everyone had time to react, she said, "Therefore, the envoy hopes to take this place down next year. "

After about ten breaths, everyone who was stunned by the gold mine began to calm down. Mrs. Yan was the first to speak: "The Black Bone City is now the territory of Satyuan Taili in the east of Koguryo. Yuan Taili is one of the five great Satari in Goguryeo , Moreover, he snatched this Black Bone City from Xianbei, and his strength should not be underestimated."

"I heard from Yang Houde that these Goguryeo soldiers have a very high armor rate, which is far from comparable to that of Xianbei." Yan Lingge added: "If you want to win Black Bone City, you must expand your army."

"Are you going to expand the army?" Huo Wanqing immediately exploded when she heard the word "army expansion": "Now the Weimin Army has three full-staffed divisions, the Xuanjia Division, the String Control Division, and the Xiaoqi Division, plus the Guards Bureau, the Special The Department of War, the Department of Medical Affairs, the Department of Military Jurisdiction, the Sentry Commander, etc. work together, and the total establishment has exceeded 500 people!"

"Although the Zhaoyi Army doesn't have so many coordinating officers, the twelve inspectors, like the Xuanjia Division, are full-staffed divisions. The total number of soldiers is nearly 400. In addition to the three thousand Fengming Iron Cavalry... you Do the math yourself, is it necessary to expand to one hundred thousand troops to take down a mere Black Bone City?"

Gold mines are naturally wanted, but it is best not to mention such money-burning things as military expansion, hehe.

Naturally, Chu Ning would not confront Qing'er head-on, so he looked for the opportunity to wink at Yan Lingge and let Yan Lingge come out to block the sword: "Although there are nearly 9000 soldiers under the envoy's command, the information sent by the sentry He said, that Black Bone City is a mountain city built with stones, and Fengming Iron Cavalry and Chief Rou Si's Xiaoqi Cavalry are not suitable for siege battles..."

"That is to say, what you want to expand is the infantry?" Huo Wanqing's face suddenly improved when he heard that it was not the cavalry, and asked: "Except for the Fengming Iron Cavalry and the Xiao Cavalry Division, there are still more than [-] infantry troops. Pawns... how much is expected to increase to take down Black Bone City?"

Madam Yan made some calculations and replied, "At least five thousand more."

"Five thousand?" This time even Huo Yunshu couldn't help it anymore: "I heard that the total population of this Shepherd City is less than [-]. Except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, including women, those who can really work , and only in the early [-]s. Director Yan, you are going to take out [-] strong men in one breath, and who will be left to do the work of building houses and paving roads in the future?"

If it weren't for the fact that Huangxian County was still on an errand, and Huangxian County really needed reliable people to support it, Huo Yunshu would have come to help.But even though he was in Huang County, he knew everything about Muyang City. Chuning didn't hide it from him. Instead, he asked people to give him a copy of the corresponding reports. After all, when it comes to dealing with family problems In terms of internal affairs, Huo Yunshu is much more reliable than Feng Jiuqing.

"The house can be repaired slowly, and the road can be repaired slowly. These things can't run away sooner or later." Sun Xing retorted: "But once the news of this gold mine spreads, Goguryeo can immediately dig it out."

The first half of Sun Xing's sentence was nothing, but when he finished the second half, everyone present looked at him in unison.

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Sun Xing rubbed the back of his head in confusion, and said in a daze, "Now that so many people know the news, who can guarantee that they won't say anything?"

Immediately, several chief inspectors of the Zhaoyi Army gritted their teeth with hatred.They were soldiers from Liaodong County. They retreated to Liaoxi to hang out with Xiao Hongfei because of their defeat, and they were kicked by Xiao Hongfei to Chuning. Chuning picked them up. At that time, I was still excitedly making small calculations in my heart for a while, and now Sun Xingyi said that they, the second master... no, the third master general, was able to walk out of this conference room alive because of the blessings of the gods.

The scene was very embarrassing for a while, but fortunately Huo Wanqing still couldn't understand the embarrassment, she followed Huo Yunshu's words and used population to calculate: "If there are another 3000 infantry, the Liaodong County Guard will have more than [-] soldiers and horses. But by then, the entire Shepherd City will have a working population of only [-]..."

"Currently, ordinary soldiers are paid 27 cash, and corporal commanders are paid 81 cash... Theoretically speaking, if the infantry is expanded to 2, it needs to be organized into [-] divisions and [-] bureaus... plus Feng Ming For the Ministry of War and the Department of Cavalry, the cavalry pays [-] taels of cash... just the salaries are more than [-] taels of taels per month."

"The daily ration of the horses is one liter, salt three-in-one, plus some fodder, and the daily consumption is one hundred and fifty ren...that is to say, these horses have to eat more than 50 guan every month." Everyone was stunned. Huo Wanqing continued to calculate quickly: "Each soldier has a catty of food per day, a certain amount of meat, vegetables, oil and salt. Four sets of clothes, plus armor and weapons... Do the calculations yourself. After a year, even if you don't Give extra rewards, how much will this person spend for eating horse chews and taking out his salary? Is [-] yuan enough? Not enough! Send all the people in this shepherd city to dig gold, and it may not be possible to dig up these few coins in a year. Come, a thousand catties of gold!"

This account is not unknown, it scares people to death, not to mention Black Bone City, even if Chuning went to snatch Jilin now and dig both sides together, with the productivity of this era, it may not be able to dig enough output.

If it wasn't for the war dividends this year, Chuning made a lot of money, plus he made some extra money by selling salted fish, cement, high-end liquor, etc. With the commercial tax revenue of less than [-] yuan in Muyang City, he could only I'm afraid they'd starve to death long ago and break up the gang, so why would they leave a balance of more than [-] yuan in Qing'er's hands.

There may not be war dividends next year, and after the Dongnae County Road is completed, where to sell the cement is also a big problem.

"In the final analysis, there is still a shortage of manpower." Huo Yunshu couldn't help sighing: "If the labor force of Muyang City is doubled, and the infantry is expanded to [-], it can barely support it. It's a pity that the population of Liaodong and Liaoxi , Most of them were taken away by Xianbei..."

According to the account Huo Wanqing threw out, the civil affairs officer naturally disagreed with the expansion of the army.In their view, even if they get the gold mine and fight Goguryeo, they may not be able to defend it later, and the gain outweighs the loss.

But what the officer saw was another matter.

Chuning is now the county guard, even if he only has one empty title, but based on the land occupied by Liaodong County before, there should be at least two county lieutenants under his command.

Lieutenants in frontier counties like Liaodong and Liaoxi naturally have a higher position than Gao Zhimin in Dongnai County, just like Xiao Hongfei before, who has not yet taken the position of county lieutenant, and with a lower position, He pulled [-] soldiers and horses, and took advantage of this Eastern Expedition to become a sheriff.

Therefore, military officers are very eager to expand the army, because expanding the army means that they have to be promoted.Civil servants don't know what these military officers think, so naturally they won't agree to the expansion of the army. He hasn't got a decent official position yet, so he won't allow others to get on top of him.

Chuning looked at it with folded arms, and made it clear that since both parties were reasonable, let's discuss it clearly, and act according to whichever reason is more reasonable to convince her.

Just when the two sides were arguing endlessly and torn into pieces, Feng Jiuqing walked in with a stack of rosters in his arms, with a face like black carbon.

Everyone at the scene calmed down in unison, with a 'thump' in their hearts at the same time, and Feng Jiuqing said: "I checked all the low-rent housing just now, and there are 74 people who have not returned to the room for more than three days, including 48 men and women. 26..."

The author has something to say: Reply Leng:

[-]. Pinggang City, Beiping County, according to the current geographical location, should be between Chengde City, Chifeng City and Chaoyang City. There is a plain area there, which is now called Ningcheng County. There is a Dianzi Town on the left. It is said that the archaeological Workers have discovered the ruins of the ancient city there.

310. If you refer to the map of the early Jin Dynasty, AD [-], please assign Xuantu to Xianbei, bring Fang Lelang to Goguryeo, Liaodong, the upper half to Xianbei, the middle to Goguryeo, and the Dalian Peninsula to Chuning.

[-]. Liaoxi County is not lost, according to my previous plot, it is still a complete county.This is a gradual process. Last year, Xuantu and Lelang were lost. This year, Liaodong was lost. Then Xianbei went to Liaoxi, Beiping and Yuyang to rob. Come here... So, the land in these places has been preserved. If you look at it from a modern map, that is, from Fuxin across to Chifeng City, this large piece of land still belongs to the Daqing Dynasty.

[-]. Although the place name Qinhuangdao is related to Qin Shihuang's east tour, it seems that the name "Qinhuangdao or Qinwangdao" did not appear in historical materials until the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.The ancient name should come from "Yu Gong", called Jieshi. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was entered into Feiru County for a while, and then it was various counties... So, I simply used the name Jieshi, but Jieshi at that time should be in Now near Suizhong County, because there seems to be Qin Shihuang's palace in Suizhong.

As I mentioned earlier, when Chu Ning went to western Liaoning for the first time, Xiao Hongfei withdrew from Liucheng (near Chaoyang City) and went down to Suhu County (near Shishijia Town below Chaoyang City - near Dongdatun Township) to stay in the Tang Dynasty. Just beside the water (Xiaoling River), which is between Chaoyang City and Suizhong.

At that time, Bai Su asked the caravan to send supplies, which was based on Jieshi.

Therefore, Qinhuangdao is now under Xiao Hongfei's name, and Chuning and the others are using it.

In the end, I am very happy that everyone is watching so seriously, thank you!
