Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 744 Touring Sanchuan County

"My lord, if you want to make Princess Ji Ying the Crown Princess of Wu, it's not difficult."

Dou Ji laughed lightly, and said: "The Prime Minister of the Wu Kingdom, Bo Shun, is a courtier who flatters and flatters him. He is extremely greedy, but he is also trusted by Qingji."

"The monarch can send envoys to the state of Wu, bribe Bo Tong with a lot of money, let him speak well, and then send the portrait of Princess Ji Ying to Empress Wu. Empress Wu is eager to love her son, and I am sure this will happen!"

"good."

Zhao Yang nodded in satisfaction.

……

After the Xu Tian alliance ended, the princes of various countries returned home one after another.

And Qing Ji wanted to inspect the vast territory of Wu State.

This seems to have become a practice.

In the past 20 years, under Qingji's hard work and unremitting efforts, the state of Wu has been engaged in external expansion wars, so the territory opened up is vast, and millions of "new Wu people" have been incorporated.

In order to publicize his own kindness, demonstrate Wu's mighty force, and frighten Xiaoxiao, Qingji will conduct a large-scale tour every few years.

This is Qingji's first tour since he claimed hegemony, so the tour team is not small.

In addition to the servants and maids in charge of serving, there are also the Habayashi Army, the Huben Army, and the rest of the guards. There are more than 5000 people, and there are countless vehicles and boats.

Gong Zihong, Gong Zixi, and Gong Zifan accompanied him, and Xi Shi and Zheng Dan, who were much loved by Qingji, would always be by his side.

Ministers like Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, and Fan Li were also on the tour.

Such a large patrol team naturally costs a lot. Fortunately, the current state of Wu has a strong national power and a full treasury.

The first stop of Qingji's west tour is Taolinsai and Yindi, namely Sanchuan County in Wu State.

For this Sanchuan County, which was newly incorporated into the territory of Wu State, Qingji was particularly important.

Because Sanchuan County is not only the bridgehead for Wu Guo to attack the Central Plains, the military base to contain Zhou, Zheng, and Qin, but also the largest "horse farm" and horse production area in Wu State.

"Chentian Rangju, see the king! The king has lived for thousands of years!"

"Thousands of years, king!"

At this time, on the banks of the Luoshui River, Tian Rangju led the officials of Sanchuan County, large and small, to welcome Qingji.

Tian Rangju and the others looked dusty, their robes were stained with a lot of dust, even mud, dirty.

The officials of Sanchuan County behind him are exactly the same, like civilians working on the construction site.

"No gift, flat!"

"Thank you king!"

Qingji looked around for a week, looking at Tian Rangju and others who were disheartened at the moment, he couldn't help asking in surprise: "Tian Rangju, wait for this?"

"Let the king laugh."

With a look of sincerity and fear on his face, Tian Rangju bowed to Qingji and said, "I and my colleagues in Sanchuan County are responsible for supervising the construction of the new city, and have the responsibility of supervising the work. I don't know that the king came so fast, so the second and third sons haven't cleaned up. Please forgive me crime!"

"It's okay."

Qingji waved his hands with a smile.

Qingji is very fond of Tian Rangju, a minister who does everything by himself and is naked.

Tian Rangju can do it!
Not only leading troops to fight wars, but also dealing with internal affairs or infrastructure construction, Tian Rangju is a good hand.

"How long will it take for the new city in Sanchuan County to be completed?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, within half a year at the latest, this new city will take shape."

"good."

Qing Ji nodded slightly, and said again: "Tian Rangju, as the governor of Sanchuan County, you have a long way to go. There may be more than one city in Sanchuan County in the future. I will thank you."

"Serving the king, why should I quit working hard?"

Tian Rangju is an upright person, not good at flattering, so Qingji knows that what he said is from the heart.

This made Qing Ji feel even more gratified.

In fact, the State of Wu does not need to build too many cities in Sanchuan County. At least for now, one or two new cities are more than enough.

The vast area south of Luoshui and north of Funiu Mountain is roughly the entire territory of Sanchuan County in Wu State.

This place used to be basically a place where the Yang, Ju, Quan, Gao, Yi, Luo and other Rong tribes lived together, as well as Luhun's Rong, Yin Rong and Guazhou Rong.

Commonly known as the "three no matter zone"!
Nominally, Sanchuan County in the State of Wu was the territory of the Zhou royal family, or the territory of the Jin State.

But now the royal family of Zhou and the state of Jin have already existed in name only, so naturally they have no control over this place.

It's not that there are no other cities in Sanchuan County, but its geographical location is not good.

In the previous Sanchuan County, there was only one city——

Chongcheng!

Chongcheng is located on the banks of the Yishui River, so it is no longer considered a border city.

And Sanchuan County is a county of Wu State anyway, how can there be only one city?
Even if Qingji intends to make Sanchuan County the horse production area of ​​Wu State, he cannot relax Sanchuan County's defense.

As a border county, Sanchuan County is extremely unqualified.

Fortunately, Qingji is good at "replacing defense with offense". Once Sanchuan County is invaded by an enemy country, Qingji will not choose defense, but counterattack and attack.

Such an important horse producing area, Qingji will never let Sanchuan County fall to the enemy.

"Your Majesty, in addition to building a new city, I also plan to repair Chongcheng by the Yishui River."

"The main thing is to expand the scale of the city, add shops, markets, houses, etc., to attract merchants and make Sanchuan County self-sufficient. Please allow it."

At this time, Tian Rangju made a suggestion.

Chongcheng is a city with a long history.

During the Shang Dynasty, this place was a Chongguo, which was granted the title of Marquis by the Shang Dynasty.

The most famous monarch in Chongguo is none other than Chonghouhu.

During the Wuding period, Chonghou Hu was the border guard and participated in the conquest of Zhou, Mao, Qiong and other Fang kingdoms.

And in the era of King Zhou of Shang, there seemed to be another Chonghouhu who played the role of "informer"...

"The widow is ready to play."

With a big wave of his hand, Qingji agreed with Tian Rangju's proposition.

After all, the vast majority of Li Shu in Sanchuan County are Rong people who are good at grazing but not good at farming, and they don't know anything about business...

To a large extent, Sanchuan County may need assistance from the state.

If Sanchuan County's financial problems can be solved by itself, it will save Qingji a lot of trouble.

Immediately afterwards, Qingji, accompanied by Tian Rangju and other officials from Sanchuan County, went to inspect the new city site on the south bank of Luoshui River.

The water in Luoshui is vast and the grass is delicious.

Qingji and the others stood on the military chariot, looking around, they could still see the herds of cattle and sheep by the river, and the shepherds were waving long whips to drive away the lagging cattle and sheep.

"What..."

"Moo!"

People are braying, sheep are neighing, and cattle are braying.

This is really a good picture of "the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep", full of poetic and picturesque!

"The water of the Luohe River is pale. When offering sacrifices to Daze, it suddenly faces the south. Luobin prays, and the color connects three lights."

Qing Ji thought of the "Song of Sacrifice to Luoshui", and couldn't help feeling it, and sang it out.

Luoshui, from ancient times to the present, has been covered with a layer of mystery.
