Great Qin Empress's Infrastructure Handbook

Chapter 327 Appease the Grassland People

Feng Quji was silent for two seconds. He deeply suspected that His Majesty gave him a holiday and let him go out just to give Zhao Qingrui something?

No matter what he thought, Feng Quji was still going to have a look.

He has fought for Daqin for so many years, and he has devoted most of his life to Daqin. He really doesn't want anything to happen to Daqin.

Thinking of this, Feng Quji directly agreed.

On the other side, on the grassland, all the tribes of the Xiongnu today have been included in the territory of the Great Qin, and even the Yuezhi Donghu, which was comparable to the Huns before, have all become the territory of the Great Qin.

There are many Daqin troops stationed everywhere now, and these troops will basically be stationed in these places in the future.

"General, Lord Wang has already summoned the leaders of the tribes to discuss matters, and I want to invite you to come too." Xiao Bing said respectfully.

"When will it be discussed?" Meng Tian nodded. The area that Wang Xian came to take over is the largest map on this side, and it is also the most difficult to manage.

Anyway, she is a child of the Wang family, Meng Tian is still very optimistic about her.

The reason Wang Xian invited him over was to frighten the dishonest people in those small tribes.

He was not displeased with this girl's doing this, and even appreciated it. Unity can unite all forces, as long as she has the ability, she can't do whatever she wants.

"Tomorrow's hour."

"I see, you go tell Wang Xian that I will be there." Meng Tian nodded, looked at the watch on his wrist, and raised the corners of his lips.

This watch was specially exchanged by Zhao Qingrui. There were three pieces in total, all of which were handed over to Ying Zheng himself.

Ying Zheng already had a better watch, so he naturally gave this watch as a reward.

After having a watch, he no longer needs to ask other people for the time. For him who is self-disciplined and rigorous, having this watch is simply too convenient.

Meng Tian had one of these watches, Wang Jian had one, and the other was kept by Ying Zheng, and hadn't been rewarded yet.

Early the next morning, Meng Tian brought two guards to the Sheriff's Mansion.

The hastily built Sheriff's Mansion is not spacious, but it is enough.

"I've met the general." Seeing Meng Tian approaching, Wang Xian came out to greet him in person.

The relationship between the Meng family and the Wang family is good, and Wang Xian is naturally very familiar with Meng Tian.

"You don't need to be too polite. I didn't expect a girl who was so young at the beginning to be so big and so outstanding in a blink of an eye." Looking at Wang Xian, Meng Tian felt a little emotional for a while.

"The general is absurd." Wang Xian chuckled. Although she had her own pride, she was not proud in front of everyone. At least in front of Meng Tian, ​​she was very humble.

"Never arrogant or impetuous, that's right, as expected of a child taught by Mr. Wang." Meng Tian chuckled lightly.

"Please, general, I've prepared tea and I'm waiting for the general to come over." Wang Xian was helpless, she was used to being praised often.

She knows that there are a lot of compliments, and they are nice, but she knows that she can't be careless.

Now she is regarded as the confidant of His Highness the Crown Prince, and she is still a member of the Wang family. The Wang family is too prosperous. If the Wang family continues to prosper, sooner or later, it will arouse the fear of His Majesty and the others.

There are also countless people staring at the Wang family, wanting to pull the Wang family down from the high platform.

Walking into the main courtyard, the leaders of more than a dozen small tribes had already arrived.

As Meng Tian walked in, the voices of these people disappeared in an instant, and they also became cautious.

When Meng Tian came here, these leaders had naturally met him, and Meng Tian even received them personally. He slaughtered the leaders who resisted before, and then supported an obedient one to go up.

Seeing Meng Tian, ​​they immediately saluted, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

The leaders of them are afraid of Meng Tian, ​​they are afraid that if he is unhappy, he will kill them directly and help someone to go up.

There are many advantages to being a small leader, and they were also scared of being killed by the Qin army, and all those who were disobedient were cut off.

Meng Tian took a sip from his teacup, but didn't intend to speak.

For today's affairs, Wang Xian is mainly in charge, so he won't overwhelm others.

"Since everyone is here, I don't want to talk nonsense. I called everyone to the Sheriff's Mansion today to discuss one thing, which is the future development of our Muye County." Wang Xian coughed lightly and stood up. .

Muye County is the name given by the imperial court, and it is the county under her current jurisdiction.

This county is close to the current border and not far from the Western Regions. This location is not good.

"Your Majesty Sheriff, just say what you want, and when we get back, we will let people do what he said." One of the leaders immediately stood up and said righteously.

Others: Σ(°ロ°)
"That's right, Lord Sheriff just give orders." The others immediately echoed.

Wang Xian was silent for two seconds, are these people so stupid?
In fact, there is no way to do this. This place has been occupied by Daqin, and it is Daqin's territory. They are very clear about the strength of the Qin army. Killing them is like killing chickens and dogs. In the face of absolute strength, they are honest in an instant. up.

Another point is the sweet potatoes and all kinds of food that Wang Xian brought over.

"The land in the grassland is not suitable for growing food. The imperial court means that some potatoes can be grown here, but the output is definitely not as good as that in the Central Plains. The grassland is mainly for grazing, and more cattle and sheep are raised, and the cattle and sheep are used for other food. place in exchange for food and various supplies." Wang Xian said seriously.

Wang Xian's words immediately made these little leaders excited and hesitated.

They naturally want all kinds of good things from Daqin, but they are afraid of being cheated.

"My lord, there won't be any problems if we trade with people from the Central Plains, right? In the past, we couldn't get much salt from the merchants from Daqin with a sheep." Speaking of this matter, the little leader became indignant.

Those merchants just bullied them, the prairie people, deliberately defrauding them with prices that were countless times too high.

"I know your worries, don't worry, now you are all citizens of my Great Qin, protected by my Great Qin's laws, those merchants dare not drive up prices anymore." Wang Xian said calmly.

"At that time, you can send people to inquire about the price of cattle and sheep, and exchange them for Daqin's money, so that you can buy whatever you want."

"Is it true that no one will trick us?" Even with Wang Xian's guarantee, they were still very worried.

"Of course not. If someone tricks you, you can directly send someone to file a complaint with the county lieutenant in each county. Then the county lieutenant will deal with those who drive up prices according to law." Wang Xian looked firm.

"Since there is a guarantee from the governor, we will naturally believe it." Wang Xian's reassurance reassured them a lot.

Cattle and sheep are the basis for their survival. Although they are attached to Daqin now, their hearts have not yet fully attached.

"Since this is the case, I also hope that you can cooperate with my Daqin's policies. I know that some decrees are not suitable for the grasslands, and the imperial court is already making revisions."

"As long as you sincerely cooperate with Daqin, you will have the supplies you need in the future, and your children will be able to study and study in the future, and have the opportunity to become officials." Wang Xian drew a big cake for them.

"Can I read?" Reading, although they are little leaders, they also know a lot of things.

Daqin's knowledge is much more useful than what they have passed down. If they can get ahead by reading, it must be infinitely better than raising cattle and sheep on the grassland.

"Naturally, you are already citizens of Daqin, so Daqin naturally treats you equally."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, we will absolutely cooperate with the imperial court's decree." These little chiefs said one after another, the grassland is really too poor, and the strength and wealth of the Central Plains make them extremely yearn for.

Unexpectedly, just after they were beaten down to join Daqin, Daqin was willing to give them so many good things, and even let their children study.

At this moment, their dissatisfaction with being forcibly subdued by Daqin dissipated.

What they ask for is not much. Apart from being full, they just hope that their children can live a better life.

Daqin gave them such a guarantee, and they were naturally grateful in their hearts.

Meng Tian quietly watched Wang Xian subdue these people, and was also very satisfied in his heart, this girl is very smart.

Knowing what these people need, this hand can control these people to death.

After this meeting, when these people go back, they will definitely let the people in their tribe work hard to cooperate with Daqin's policy.

After sending these people away, Wang Xian discussed with Meng Tian about the defense.

The situation on the grassland is a bit complicated, and it is still close to the Western Regions.

His Majesty also attaches great importance to the Western Regions. Although the Western Regions are far away from the Great Qin, the geographical location of the Western Regions is still very important.

Controlling the Western Regions can minimize the remaining power of the Huns.

At the same time, because the Western Regions are located in the central zone of the temperate grasslands of the Eurasian continent, once a rebellion occurs on the grasslands, it is the only way for the Huns to flee westward. Therefore, the Han Dynasty occupying the Western Regions also blocked the Huns' escape route to the west.

The geographical location of the Western Regions determines that Daqin wants to go to the world, such as using it as a springboard and a transit point.

For the grasslands, the Western Regions are always under the military threat of the Central Plains Dynasty like a sharp sword hanging over their heads, preventing them from rebelling.

The Western Regions are the barrier for the hinterland of the Central Plains Dynasty, and at the same time, they have expanded sufficient strategic depth for the Central Plains Dynasty.

Why was the Western Zhou Dynasty destroyed by the dog army and caused the country to perish, because the location of the capital is too remote.There are threats all around: Qiang, Quanrong, Di, etc., and you will reach the capital after a short charge.

The Western Regions are very important to the Great Qin. The Western Regions not only bear the deterrent effect of the Central Plains Dynasty on the grassland regime, but also communicate with each other and can provide a large amount of taxation.

In addition, the role of the Western Regions as a barrier to the hinterland of the Central Plains cannot be underestimated.

There are also various new crops suitable for Daqin in the Western Regions. Once the business route from Daqin to the Western Regions is opened, the benefits will be immeasurable.

The person who is now in charge of the Western Regions is Li Xin, who was specially sent by His Majesty.

According to His Majesty, Li Xin might be stationed in the Western Regions for a long time in the future.

But this is also a good thing, he can also shock the entire grassland in the Western Regions.

"You've done a good job. No wonder His Highness is so reassuring about you. He sent you to this important location as soon as he came here, and you have a position like a county guard." Meng Tian looked at Wang Xian with admiration.

This girl is getting better and better, but his family has no suitable children, otherwise he really wants his children to marry Wang Xian.

Of course, this kind of thing can only be thought about. The status of the Wang family and the Meng family in Daqin is already big enough. If they marry again, His Majesty may have trouble sleeping and eating.

"It's not enough. These people only made compromises for temporary benefits. I still need to do a lot." Although Wang Xian was very happy to be praised by Meng Tian, ​​she was also very clear-headed.

Next, it should be the construction plan of the Silk Road. It is not so easy to build this road, and the imperial court must allocate funds.

"Then what are your plans next?" Meng Tian asked with a light smile.

"Let's introduce some caravans first. Only when the merchants come, can the things here be circulated and their original way of life changed." Wang Xian said seriously. If these people want to completely belong to Daqin, they still need to be made It needs to be completely integrated with Daqin's Qianshou.

"It seems that you have your own plan, and I won't bother you too much. If you need any help, just come to the barracks and find me." Meng Tian looked at Wang Xian with a confident look, and said softly.

"I will. I will have to trouble the general." Wang Xian nodded and smiled.
-
Feng Quji set off with a few large boxes handed to him by His Majesty, and left Xianyang in a low-key manner.

After so many years, it was the first time he left Xianyang.

Walking on the road in a carriage, the voices of Guizhou chiefs talking could be heard from time to time.

Lifting the curtain and looking at it, Feng Quji's heart trembled slightly. He had also seen the life of Qianshou before, and the current Qianshou has really changed greatly from before.

Under the governance of Daqin, life in Qianshou is getting better and better.

The walking path has also become wider, and the road is no longer bumpy.

That's great, this is Feng Quji's only realization right now.

Perhaps, he should trust His Highness the Crown Prince more, Daqin really got better under her hands.

A few days' journey, although the journey was exhausting, he saw a lot of things along the way, saw the joy of a bumper harvest in Guizhou, he also cleaned up a few people who intended to embezzle and cheat on taxes and grains, and saw the merchants' love for Daqin. attached.

"Master, we will be able to reach Shangjun tomorrow, and we have already arrived at the post office." The guard said respectfully.

"Well, let's go rest for the night first." Feng Quji nodded.

Feng Quji was used to the comings and goings of the post office.

Relying on the post office, the income of the imperial court has increased a lot, and there are still many places to make money in the imperial court. These are all thought out by Zhao Qingrui.

"Old gentleman, I'm sorry, we only have middle-class rooms here." The post office official said kindly.

"Let's go for a middle-class room." Feng Quji didn't make things difficult for anyone. All the people he lived in were upper-class rooms. The service of the upper-class rooms is still very good. It's good to try the middle-class rooms.

"Thank you for your understanding, old man. I'll bring you some of our specialties later." The old man's understanding made the little official heave a sigh of relief.
