Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 63 Developing Shuofang

Shuofang Anxi Duwei Mansion.

"Guo Wei, let me introduce you. This is Shi Xu Jingzong, the head of the Duwei's residence. He was originally one of the [-] scholars in the Prince of Qin's residence. He has extraordinary abilities. It is fortunate that Shuofang has his help. Otherwise, I would be too busy." Zhang Gongjin Pointing to a middle-aged scribe, he introduced.

Xu Jingzong, it turned out to be him, Feng Daiwen thought of this legend about the traitorous minister of Zhenguan, who is famous in history,
"I have seen the deputy governor, and I need the governor to raise more points in the future. Please forgive Feng Dudu if I don't do well." Xu Jingzong politely saluted Feng Daiwen:

"I've met Xu Changshi, and I need Master Xu's help in the future." Feng Daiwen said with a smile:
"I won't introduce these two. General Li Zhengbao and General Xin Liaoer are familiar with Shuofang. The sages are here to help me. General Li is in charge of public security in Shuofang, and General Xin is in charge of guarding against Turks," Zhang Gongjin said with a smile. :

"Haha, the two generals and I are old acquaintances. I am very glad to see you again." Before the two of them could speak, Feng Daiwen said to them happily.

"I've seen General Feng." The two were also very happy to see Feng Daiwen again, and quickly saluted Feng Daiwen's military post.

Then Zhang Gongjin introduced other officials, big and small, respectively.
"Come, let me introduce to you. This is King Shi Mazhou and Ma Bin, the head of Princess Guang'an's mansion, who was specially sent by the sage to help me. This is Mr. Xi, and Feng Daihuo, the general of the army." Feng Daiwen also spoke for everyone. Made an introduction.

"Since everyone is here, I will not be polite. The sage ordered me to wait for the mutual market in Shuofang. We will not only do it, but also do it beautifully. Shuofang has been plagued by wars for many years, and the population is sparse. Xu Changshi, Shuofang has a large population. Did you find out?" Feng Daiwen asked.

"Returning to the deputy governor, Shuofang has been in war for years. It has been found that there are 28 people, and many of them have fled in remote mountainous areas. It has not been found for a short time," Xu Jingzong replied with a salute.

"Increase publicity efforts to let every commoner hiding in the mountainous area know that it is now the Tang Dynasty, go out of the mountain to register, distribute land, and publicize to Guanzhong that each person who is willing to immigrate to Shuofang will be given ten acres of high-quality land, farm tools, and housing. , food, ordered Shuofang to recruit a large number of workers, including food and housing, five dollars a day for young adults, and three dollars for women. Shuofang established a school. All boys and girls under the age of 12 must receive education. The school provides food and accommodation, publicity, and arranges work. Leave it to Xu Changshi to take charge." Feng Daiwen thought that Xu Jingzong was indeed capable, and he found out about the population tunnel in Shuofang in a short time and gave him an order, but there really was no suitable person to do it.

"I will issue an order to guarantee the completion of the task," Xu Jingzong said happily.Since Li Shimin ascended the throne, he had not been promoted, nor had he made any specific arrangements. This time he was appointed as Shuofang's chief. Seeing that Feng Daiwen came with so many people, Shi thought that he would be ostracized, but he was very excited when he saw Feng Daiwen assign important tasks to him.

"The school is established in the south city, the mutual market is established in the north gate, and cotton is planted in a mountainous area outside the city. It requires good lighting. General Li Zhengbao is familiar with Shuofang, so you will assist Ma Changshi in this matter." Feng Daiwen continued to order and arrange:
Ma Zhou and Li Zhengbao hurriedly gave the order,

"General Xin Liaoer, you send people to inform all the ethnic groups in the grassland that on the first day of June, Shuofang will start to trade. There are a lot of grain, salt, farm tools, silk, and porcelain. You can exchange cattle, sheep, horses, and furs. Dudu Zhang and Ben The official is the protection," Feng Daiwen said to Xin Liaoer:
Xin Lier also stood up to receive the order
"Feng Daihuo leads the Rattan Armored Army to guard the outside of the city to guard against the Turks. Xi Junmai recruits and trains [-] new troops. Remember that we only need elite soldiers," Feng Daiwen ordered to the two:

"Yes, general, the last general will follow the order." Xi Junmai shouted happily when he saw that he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

"Doctor Zhang, do you think this arrangement is appropriate, but what else is there?" Feng Daiwen asked Zhang Gongjin to ask:

"Very good, there's nothing wrong with it," Zhang Gongjin stroked his chin and beard comfortingly when he saw Feng Daiwen's orderly arrangement:
"Okay, there's not much time, let's make arrangements as soon as possible, and others will assist." Seeing that the arrangement was almost done, Feng Daiwen ordered:

After everyone had left, Feng Daiwen asked Zhang Gongjin, "Although Uncle Zhang's recruitment of soldiers was approved by the sage, you still need to report to Chang'an, and you need to ask the cooperation of all counties in the pass for the emigration."

"Haha, the old man will take care of this matter properly, my nephew is free to do it." Zhang Gongjin said with a big laugh:
"Shuofang's population is too small, and the weather is cold, so we can only develop commercially," Feng Daiwen explained to Zhang Gongjin:
"Well, what my nephew said is true. If it's just a mutual market, should the ministries of the grassland be prepared for their troubles? If they come to rob them, it will be difficult. After all, even if we recruit 3 soldiers, we only have more than [-] horses," Zhang Gongjin worried. arrive:

"Prairie people are wolves, and they will be honest only when they are hurt. Are there any Turkic people in the grassland outside Shuofang?" Feng Daiwen asked:

"Yes, they are all small tribes. They are probably sent to test our reaction. After all, Shuofang is also the Hetao area, and it is the best grassland." Zhang Gongjin said:
"Hmph, that's very good. I'm worried about not having enough manpower to build Shuofang," Feng Daiwen said coldly:

"You mean nephew?" Zhang Gongjin asked in disbelief:
"That's right, the soldiers of Shuofang took refuge in Datang not long ago, and their training and fighting will are too weak, so they just pulled them out to see the blood." Feng Daiwen raised his brows,

"I sent troops for no reason to steal the grassland. I'm worried that someone in the court will impeach me," Zhang Gongjin said with a frown:
"Uncle, don't worry, the sage is wise. He has long thought that it is difficult for us to do things in Shuofang, so he allows you and me to do things cheaply. Huh, who said that only the grasslands can come to the Central Plains to rob me, just repay them in the same way. "Feng Daiwen explained:
"That's good. I'll arrange someone to find out how many tribes there are outside Shuofang. This time I'll play a big one, and I won't let any one go." Zhang Gongjin is also a general after all. Hearing that he has no worries, he said happily:
"That's right, after the investigation is clear, we will divide our troops into several groups, sweep them quickly, and requisition all the horses in Shuofang, so as to escort the prisoners," Feng Daiwen said:
"Well, you take all you can fight, I just leave [-] elite soldiers, you must be fast, you can't let the tribe support, and you don't let them run away," Zhang Gongjin suggested:
"That's right, I'm planning to divide the troops into three groups, the elite soldiers will attack, and the latter will catch up to take the prisoners." Feng Daiwen said excitedly:

"That's right, that's right. You can't let the cattle, sheep and horses go. After the fight, take all the horses away. You only need to leave a small number of people and horses to guard them. You can't escape without horses in the vast grassland." Zhang Gongjin laughed straight:

"Hey, that's right, that's right, just tie them up, just use their belts to tie up their hands, I still don't believe that I can run away with bare buttocks," Feng Daiwen thought of the uncle who later saw him catching bad guys and giving his ideas arrive.

"Hahaha," Zhang Gongjin didn't know what he thought of, so he patted his thigh and laughed wildly.

The two war fighters are there, you talk, I talk about the perfect plan, and there is a burst of creepy laughter from time to time,,,
