Zhi Xuan

During the trip to the dense forest, Zhi Xuan brought back ten altars of monkey wine.

Xuancheng was still under construction, and he still lived in Haocheng, so it was logical that the monkey wine was also sent to the city lord's mansion in Haocheng.

The warehouse has already been prepared, and the government order personally led people to move the wine jars, counted the quantity, and then sent special personnel to guard it to ensure that everything was safe.

When Zhixuan Qicheng leaves, this batch of monkey wine will be taken away together.At that time, the wine jar will remain the same, but the wine contained in it will be replaced by another kind.

During this trip, Zhi Xuan not only brought back fruit wine, but also inspected the hot springs in the forest, and found fish schools in the springs, and became more and more sure that there were waterways connecting the springs.Where it will lead is not yet known.

Time is tight, and he has no time to arrange the matter of the hot spring for the time being. He can only summon the government order and order him to select a group of servants to guard the hot spring, so as to open fields by the spring in the coming year.

"Ability is one of them, but more importantly, you must be loyal and keep your mouth shut."

If vegetables can be grown in winter, Zhixuan will open up another way of making money.This year's time is too late, and we have to wait another year to really see the effect.

"promise!"

The magistrate was very trusted by Zhi Xuan, and he learned about the function of the hot spring and his plan from him.After receiving the order, arrangements were made on the same day, and five people were selected from the accompanying attendants, plus twenty soldiers, to be responsible for guarding the hot spring.At the same time, hurry up to investigate the forest, clear up hidden dangers, and pave the way for Zhixuan's next plan.

The hot spring is still a trivial matter, and the construction of Xuancheng is the top priority.

Zhixuan once wanted to move the capital, but considering various conditions, he thought that the matter should not be urgent.After thinking about it in every possible way, he intends to find another way. The capital of Xiyuan Kingdom remains unchanged, with the built Xuancheng as the accompanying capital.In order to ensure the smooth flow of roads, the grassland tribes were confiscated to build official roads. Taking the Chi Road in Qin Dynasty as a template, it was further widened and lengthened. The road was [-] steps wide and could accommodate chariots running side by side.

This matter requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and Zhi Xuan cannot be arbitrary.Fortunately, Su Hu and Yang Hao are both in the grassland, and there are also officials attending the wedding, all of whom can be summoned for discussion.

"Accompanying capital?"

"Credit?"

After hearing Zhixuan's plan, the doctors and officials looked at each other, puzzled by the unfamiliar words.After Zhi Xuan's explanation, he suddenly understood.

Before changing to the wedding, the doctors would 100% refuse to agree to Zhi Xuan's proposal.

Isn't it a joke to set up an accompanying capital on the grassland to stand side by side with Xicheng Capital?

Things are different today.

Two new cities have sprung up from the ground, and the scale is magnificent and amazing.Especially Xuancheng, in terms of city size and facilities in the city, has the potential to catch up with the Western Capital City.

There are three gates on the city wall, and sewer pipes are laid in the city. Two long roads cross the city and lead straight to the four city gates, which can be described as extending in all directions.

All the workshops in the city have not yet been completed, and only the buildings in the north and south of the city have a small scale.According to Zhixuan's plan, the two places are the Clan Square and the Guoren Square, the east of Liucheng and the west of the city are the Common People's Square, and the Slave Square is outside the inner city wall, which is temporarily designated as the Outer City.

This kind of architectural style is unique. Looking at the big cities of the vassal states, it can be called unique.

Su Hu, Yang Hao and others personally walked through the inner and outer cities. The inner city alone is larger than the Western Capital City, and the outer city is built around the inner city. Its scale is almost the same as that of the inner city, or even larger.

Such a grand plan is amazing.

If you rely on slaves and conscripts, I am afraid that it will take several years or even ten years, which will inevitably waste people and money, and may make the country unstable.

Zhixuan was ingenious, exchanged a large number of Di people from Zhao Hao, and also arrested a considerable number of Rong people by himself, easily eliminating hidden dangers.Not only that, the Dijon prisoners of war undertook most of the labor, which cost far less than conscripts, and there was no need to buy clan slaves, which was definitely a good deal.

Such a method opened the eyes of the clans. When capturing the savages, they wiped out many Dirong tribes and captured a large number of prisoners.

It doesn't matter if you are disobedient, the whip is whipped twice, and they are taken to Zhixuan in batches to wash their faces. When they see the wolves following the chariot, the Di people don't care, and the Rong people immediately fall to the ground, yelling "God" .

Yang Hao sent troops to capture a large number of Rong people before.

In the past, he would not keep prisoners, and would cut off their heads for military exploits.This is not the case now, the Xiyuan clan has already mastered the code to tame the Rong people, so naturally they will not waste it easily.

In the era of vast land and few people, this is a real labor force.Building houses, mining, logging, and land reclamation do not require any skills, and it is quite easy to do manual work.

For feudal slave owners, slaves were a kind of property.

A slave owner who does not try to make money is not a good slave owner.

When the savages were almost caught, the Xiyuanguo clan began to attack the grassland tribes, beating and arresting them, and quickly emptied the surrounding area of ​​Xuancheng.Sometimes they go too far, and it is inevitable that there will be friction with the Bei'an Guo clan.

Relying on this method, the clans who followed Zhixuan to the grassland accumulated a lot of wealth in a short period of time.Some small families made an inventory and found out that their property in the grasslands has accumulated no less than several generations just by enclosing land, mining and arresting people.

The result was astonishing.

It's just that the problem also arises.

Xuancheng is located in the grassland, and Haocheng is watching and helping each other, but the defense force is still weak.Now every garrison, the bandit Hu Bu dare not approach to harass, and if he dares to come, he will deliver food.When the big troops leave, it is inevitable that there will be no evil thoughts.

If you don't leave and stay in the grassland, the family's foundation is in the western capital, which is really embarrassing.

Zhi Xuan's proposal solved the problem easily.

"Use Xuancheng as the accompanying capital, and stay there for half a year every year. The rest of the time, the six ministers take turns stationing. People are relocated in the inner city, and troops are stationed in the outer city. Bunkers are built outside the city."

"Establish monuments on the land where each family occupies, and after reporting to Zhongdu City, I will formally confer titles on them."

"The Chi Road was built from Xuancheng directly to the border areas of our country. A military fort post station was set up beside the Chi Road, which can be used for sending messages and dispatching troops."

"Gather craftsmen in the workshops outside the city, and set up a village fort. There is not enough soldiers, and the craftsmen will distribute weapons, so they can defend themselves."

"Build earthen towers and wooden villages high, and set up beacon towers. You can set up another one in your jurisdiction to ensure nothing goes wrong."

After Zhi Xuan finished speaking in one breath, Doctor Qing listened attentively and listened very carefully.

After his words came to an end, everyone began to discuss in low voices, discussing the points he raised.Some details are still unclear, but everyone quickly reached an agreement on the plan to establish an accompanying capital and build Chidao.

There is so much wealth in the grassland that even a big clan like Suhu Yanghao cannot ignore it.

Zhixuan proposed to retain the status of the western capital, and use Xuancheng as the accompanying capital, which can solve the problem and is in the interests of all parties. Even if it is unprecedented, the clans will not object.

The most wonderful thing is that Zhixuan lives in the city for several months every year, and the six ministers take turns guarding the rest of the time, which can prevent the dominance of one family from the source and form a balance before the clans.

After some discussion, the doctors all agreed.

"That's a good idea."

Regarding Chi Dao, everyone also has no objection.

At the same time, Su Hu and Yang Hao suggested that it should not only be built in the grassland, but also in the country, from the frontier to the Western Capital City, and then from the Western Capital City to various fiefdoms.

As for whether the road will benefit the enemy after the road is repaired, Doctor Qing didn't even think about it, he laughed on the spot, expressing that he was not worried at all.

"If you dare to come, you will be killed!"

This is not wild talk, but the true thoughts of the clans.

Their military self-confidence makes them not afraid of any enemy, no matter whether it is a one-on-one or a one-on-many, as long as they dare to come, they will definitely let them come and go.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much." Su Hu stroked the black beard on his chin, his face full of pride and confidence.

Zhi Xuan raised his chin, glanced at everyone, and found that no matter how old or young, or whether the family was big or small, all the senior officials present counted one by one, and when they mentioned foreign enemies, their expressions were contemptuous, just like Su Hu.

In a country that favors martial arts, no matter the clan, the people or the common people, they all take pride in their military exploits.

In other words, the clans of the Xiyuan Kingdom would be fine if they don’t go out to bully others, and if they dare to come to your door to make trouble, if they don’t beat you to rethink your life, they will lose!

The self-confidence from top to bottom and the arrogance from the inside out made the humiliation of the five cities firmly in mind.

Now when they are provoked again, there is no need for Zhixuan to open his mouth, the clans take the initiative to twist into a rope, and when Yuan Tao gets married to Zhongdu City and the wedding is successfully concluded, it is time for them to draw their swords!

For this reason, Fan Xu and Luan Hui, who were far away in the western capital city, had even written the call to action, and they could read it out immediately after filling in the blanks with the objects of crusade.

Fan Xu is good at citing extensively from sources, while Luan can write profound and beautiful writing. The two work together with forceful pen and ink, and every word is like a knife.

When the call to action was written, it was natural to send it to Zhixuan for review.

After reading it, Zhi Xuan had only one thought, to use the most civilized words to compose the most vicious sentences, and it is a human miracle that the target is not scolded until he vomits blood for three liters.

Zhixuan decided to set up an accompanying capital to build Chidao, the news cannot be concealed and there is no need to conceal it.Zhao Hao and the Bei'an Guo clan soon learned that after discussing, they sent a memorial to the Marquis of Bei'an to jointly report the matter.

As the Minister of Bei'an, Zhao Hao will become the Minister of State in the future.This made it impossible for him to stay in the grassland for a long time, just like Zhi Xuan.

It's just that there is an essential difference between the two people's situation. The throne of Bei'an Kingdom will be inherited by the crown prince, and the name of the accompanying capital is not right, and it will cause a series of problems, which may cause more harm than good.

After careful consideration, in the memorandum delivered, Zhao Hao did not mention the accompanying capital at all, but focused on Chidao.

With years of leading troops in battle and good political wisdom, Zhao Hao saw the significance of building Chidao at a glance.The same is true for the Bei'an Guo clan.

Everyone jointly petitioned, hoping that the Marquis of Bei'an would allow the road to be built.It does not seek to reach the level of the Xiyuan Kingdom, at least it can ensure smooth communication, ensure the rapid transmission of news, and facilitate the transfer of troops.

After the road is clear, the monarch can further stabilize the domestic rule, and the clan can better control the fiefdom.For the power of the monarch and the power of the ministers, both are increasing, which is also a win-win situation in another sense.

Regarding the manpower and material resources spent on road construction, Zhao Hao wrote clearly in the memorandum that Dinu came from the grasslands, and the materials and food were jointly raised by the clans.

There is no such reason in the world to enjoy the benefits without paying, and it is the same in Bei'an.What's more, the fact that Zhao Hao was a man did not cost the slaves of each family, and the clans had already taken considerable benefits.

Gong Zihao's request was very reasonable, and it was read out in the court, and none of the families who wanted to build the road opposed it.

Since there is no objection, the Marquis of Bei'an directly made a decision, and each family has money to pay and food to pay, and start working directly when the money and food are in place.

During this period, the Dinos sent by the grassland arrived one after another.

Seeing the batches of di slaves brought here, from Bei'an Marquis Shi Ziyan to Bei'an's ministers and officials, they all took a deep breath.

Thousands of people were transported back three times, and it is reported that there will be several batches later.

How many Di tribes did Gongzi Hao destroy?Shouldn't they have scanned all the Di people on the grassland?

In fact, Zhao Hao sent back a large number of Di people not to surprise everyone, but mainly to build roads, and secondly to make money.

After marrying Zhixuan, Zhao Hao learned a lot about business.

These dinus are just testing the waters.

If the experiment is successful, Zhao Hao will let go and open up a new way of making money for Hao City.

At that time, the tribes on the grassland will be transformed into leeks waiting to be harvested, and money and food will be readily available.

Before changing to the wedding, no one would have thought that Gongzi Hao would make such a move.

Now, under the influence of Zhi Xuan, Zhao Hao began to look at Qian, galloping on the road of iron-blooded and brutal slave owners, and never looked back.

Because of his change, the tribes to the north and the wildlings further north were doomed.
