I Built a Territory in Ancient Times

efforts are unlikely to succeed.Where is Duan Wang able to do whatever he wants?

King Duan's visit to Beijing this time is said to be for the imperial court to discuss the matter of the Xiqi Corridor, and he does not know how the matter is progressing.If the imperial court's resolution is not passed, it is also expected. This matter is like a fantasy, and the imperial court's finances are not rich, so how could it be possible for Duan Wang to mess around?

Liu Zhen has mixed feelings, and now King Duan is back.It seems to have a backbone, Liangcheng's current state has nothing to do with Ming Yu, good or bad, only Ming Yu can solve it.

"My lord, I don't know if the matter of my lord is going well?" Liu Zhen asked.In fact, what he wants to say is that it doesn't matter if the Xiqi Corridor fails, you can take your time and don't need to rush for a while.

Ming Yu shook his head and nodded again, "It's a long story, I'll talk about it later when I go back." He was in a good mood, and many things couldn't be explained clearly for a while, so he had to sort everything out to make a decision.

Liu Zhen shook his head and nodded at the same time, he didn't know whether it was a success or a failure, and he could only endure Ming Yu's words.

General Wei was already impatient at this time, he pulled Liu Zhen away, took two steps forward and asked, "My lord, is the news true? Did the imperial court really promise to recruit recruits at will?"

General Wei is a military commander, so he naturally cares about increasing troops to fight the war.Earlier, Ming Yu asked someone to bring a letter, explaining the imperial court's decision on recruitment reform.However, this is a major event, and he couldn't believe it was true without the imperial decree.So when he saw Ming Yu, he naturally asked about this important matter.

Ming Yu smiled and nodded, "Of course it's true. The king even brought back the imperial decree. How can it be false? However, it is impossible to recruit recruits at will, but there is a basic amount. This is a new establishment , directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial military department.”

General Wei stroked his beard and laughed loudly, "Okay, that's great! Sure enough, the prince has a solution. As long as this system works well, it will send a steady stream of recruits, and we don't have to worry about our lack of people."

Liu Zhen glared at him, and said with a sneer: "Yes, there are too many new soldiers, and the military expenditure is also a lot? How many months have you been in arrears with the military salary in your army?"

One sentence made General Wei unable to laugh anymore, and he said indignantly: "The general has asked the imperial court to distribute money, food and military salaries. It's just that these old foxes who don't do anything in the imperial court know how to fight within each other all day long, and don't care about the border at all." The life and death of the army is simply unreasonable!"

"Okay, don't blame the ministers in the court, the court is also difficult, which one does not need money to spend?"

"Hmph! The court is in trouble, but those people who harm the country and the people have a hard time!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Ming Yu smoothed things over, "Okay, you two don't need to quarrel anymore. Regarding the matter of military pay, this king has also mentioned it to the father, and it will be issued as soon as possible."

Only then was General Wei satisfied, and he glanced at Liu Zhen triumphantly.Liu Zhen shook his head and ignored him.

At this time, Mo Jiang had no choice but to step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, everything is ready according to your instructions."

Ming Yu patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work."

A scorching gaze fell on Ming Yu's hand, and Ming Yu realized something.Turning his head, he saw Xie Yixiu's cold and serious face, and stared at him with the hand on Mo Jiang's shoulder.

Ming Yu was taken aback for a moment, then withdrew his hand embarrassingly, and then said to Mo Jiang: "I have to trouble Commander Mo for many things in the future."

"Serving Your Highness is the duty of your subordinates. No matter what your Highness orders, your subordinates will definitely do their best." Mo Jiang swore that he didn't like His Highness being so polite to him.

"Okay! In the future, Mo will command more than five hundred guards, and the newly recruited army will be handed over to you to command. Do you have the confidence to bring out an iron army for this king?" Ming Yu suppressed his smile and said solemnly.

139. Chapter 139

Mo Jiang's heart was shocked, his fighting spirit was high, "The subordinates have confidence!"

Only then did Ming Yu laugh, this was the leader of the recruits he had discussed with Xie Yixiu along the way.Ming Yu wanted to train the newly recruited recruits into a new army with strong combat capability and good style.It's the same as the guard battalion that has completely changed its look today, except that the team's combat capabilities are stronger and they know how to cooperate with tactics.

Mo Jiang has this ability and strength, he can bring out the guard battalion, I believe the new army will not be too difficult.

"That's good. I hope this strong army can be invincible. The future Xiqi Corridor depends entirely on them." Ming Yu nodded with a smile, looked around and asked, "Is Xu Wen here?"

Xu Wen was arranged by Ming Yu to build a horse farm before, but now the renovation has basically been completed, and the stables and sheds have been built long ago.Although there are not many good horses now, it only takes a few years. I believe that the scale of the horse farm will gradually expand, and eventually it will be able to supply the army for self-sufficiency.

The racecourse is almost done, and the rest will be left to the professionals.The horse breeders who came back from the Western Regions are also taking apprentices, the purpose is to train more horse breeders to ensure the operation of the horse farm in the future.

As for those who are able to work hard, Ming Yu, a workshop outside the city, is also handed over to him, and he is in charge of it.

Hearing Ming Yu's question, Xu Wencai trotted forward panting after everyone passed on the words.

"I'm late to greet you, please forgive me, my lord." Xu Wen kowtowed and confessed.

When he received the news from King Duan, he had gone out early and planned to rush over.But when he was about to leave, someone rushed to report on the workshop. Originally, he planned to suppress it and deal with it when he came back.Unexpectedly, the man said that it was an urgent matter, and it was best to deal with it as soon as possible.There was no other way, so Xu Wen had no choice but to go with him, and when he was done with it, he hurried over, and the prince had already arrived.

Ming Yu helped him up, without any intention of blaming him, "It's nothing, this king didn't intend to disturb you to come to greet him, and you have intentions to go out of the city to greet him."

Everyone saluted, "This is what should be done, and it is the duty of being a minister."

Ming Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone is so familiar, there is no need to be polite."

Everyone also laughed. After getting along for a long time, they all understood Duan Wang's temperament and knew that what Duan Wang said was not a joke.They are blessed to have such a magnanimous and kind prince, no matter what they do, they are full of energy.

"My lord, were you looking for a minister just now?" Xu Wen asked after he had calmed down.When he was far away, he heard the prince looking for him. At this time, the prince must be looking for something important.

"Oh! Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that a caravan from behind has brought some supplies over. If there's a need and it's suitable, we can talk about the price and negotiate a sale."

"Oh! Why didn't the prince say it earlier? It's so necessary. I'll talk about it now." Xu Wen heard Ming Yu's words, and before Ming Yu finished speaking, he hurriedly left and went to see.

Seeing him rushing away, Ming Yu was stunned for a second before laughing: "The caravan doesn't know how to run, so why rush?" But Xu Wen had already disappeared.

You know, there has always been a shortage of supplies in Liangzhou, and many things can't be bought even if you have money.Hearing Ming Yu's words, how could he not be in a hurry?

Ming Yu shook his head, "Why is he so impatient? I think he was very cautious back then!"

Xie Yixiu softened his expression when he heard him whispering. "There are still not enough talents in Liangzhou now, let's see how they are being forced."

Ming Yu made a bitter face, "That's right, there's no other way, talent is scarce, and one person can only be used as a few people. But this is indeed not a long-term solution, we still have to recruit talents from outside."

Xie Yixiu nodded, Liangzhou needs to develop without anyone.

Ming Yu then sighed: "It's a pity! Judging from Liangzhou's current environment, it is impossible to attract useful talents. We still have to start from two aspects."

He had been thinking about this issue a long time ago, and speaking of it now, he was in order.

"Oh? Which two aspects?" Xie Yixiu asked.

Ming Yu explained his thoughts, "One is to attract useful talents from outside, and this requires the fulfillment of various conditions before it can be implemented. The other is to build schools and allow school-age children from seven to 12 years old to study in schools. Improving the quality of the whole people can also cultivate a new generation of useful talents. What do you think?"

Xie Yixiu stared at him without saying a word, Ming Yu was surprised, thought there was something on his face, and touched his face involuntarily.Asked: "What's wrong?"

Xie Yixiu came back to his senses, shook his head and said: "It's nothing, it's just that what the prince said can't be achieved overnight."

Ming Yu sighed, "Yeah, this is also the reason for my headache. If I want to achieve the goal as soon as possible, I can only start implementing it earlier. But look, I have a lot of things here, and everything is chaotic. It is also impossible. And the school still needs teachers and talents, which is an unavoidable problem.”

"Don't worry. Take your time, you will be able to do it one day." Xie Yixiu
