Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 798

Chapter 803
"It's the same in Lishan Village!" The head of Lishan Village didn't object anymore.He is also clear that joining Recalling Huangcheng has no disadvantages, only advantages!
Ran Zhi received Liu Defa, Gao Chuankui and others that night.Ran Zhi made it clear that he accepted Liu Defa and other three villages to join.Then the imperial court conducted detailed negotiations on the relocation and resettlement of the three villages.

With the addition of Liu Defa and other three villages, the population of Ran Zhi's power has suddenly reached 5000.According to the scale of Wei State, it has also reached the scale of Zhongxian County.For Wu Qubing, who supported him from the beginning, Ran Zhi did not suppress Wu Qubing because of Liu Defa's great power and influence.

Ran Zhi's political skills are not too weak. Ran Min's original title was Marquis of Xiuwu, who inherited Ran Zhan.Since Ran Zhi was born, he has been the young master of Marquis Xiuwu.So he called himself Marquis Xiu.Recalling Huangcheng as Xiuwu Kingdom.He made Wu Qubing the Marquis of Xiuwu, Shi Shou, Liu Defa, the Boss of the Xiuwu Kingdom, and Gao Chuankui as Cao who caught the thief.

With the addition of Liu Defa and others, Ran Zhi's strength skyrocketed.Not only the increase in population, but also the wealth and ships accumulated by the three villages.Yuanyang Village started as a pirate, owning thirty or forty small boats of various kinds.

Three months later, Ran Zhi's Xiuwu City absorbed more than [-] surrounding villages, and the population of Xiuwu Country increased to more than [-] people.Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the sixth year of Kaiyuan, when the spring is warm and flowers are blooming. It has been more than three years since Ran Ming became the crown prince of Wei.Ran Ming walked with the youngest child in his arms among the sea of ​​flowers in the palace, behind him was Wang Meng who kept talking.In the more than three years since Ran Ming became the prince of Wei, Ran Min has completely delegated power.Ran Min is a general who is used to fighting on the battlefield, and he doesn't like to be an emperor. Ran Min is deeply conflicted about the daily tedious government affairs.Therefore, Ran Min handed over the power to Ran Ming.

In fact, after Ran Ming gained power, he did pretty well.After three years of hard work, the state of Wei has built highways in Yecheng, Luoyang, Chang'an, Jincheng, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang.At the same time, the expressway from Yecheng to Liaodong via Beiping is also nearing completion.With the three-day highway, Wei Guo can quickly transport the army to the destination in the event of a war.

Not only infrastructure, but also people's livelihood has improved greatly.According to statistics, the population of Wei State has exceeded 270 million households, reaching more than [-] million people.

The news that Wang Meng brought was not about the northern grasslands, nor about Jin, but about Ran Zhi.After nearly three years of expansion, Ran Zhi has basically unified Yizhou, and he is truly called the king of the establishment, named Wuwang.The population under Ran Zhi's rule has exceeded 10 after three years of annexation, plunder, and natural breeding. Ran Zhi adopted the Han people in Yizhou who no longer engaged in the traditional life of men farming and women weaving, but evolved into the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The Fubing system.

All the males of the Han people in Yizhou, except those who are good at internal affairs and technology, were all organized into an army.In Yizhou, which has a population of only 10, Ran Zhi has a strong army of 7000.Among them, there are more than 800 sailors, more than [-] large and small warships, and more than [-] cavalry.I'm afraid that nomads who are all soldiers can't reach the level of perversion like Ran Zhi.

Wang Meng said: "Three months ago, the Xiuwu Army took [-] warships as the forerunner, broke through Linhai County, smashed more than ten cities in a row, looted more than [-] people and a large amount of property, and crossed the sea. In addition, Yang Yun is here Killed by an arrow in battle!"

Ran Ming showed a playful smile: "Brother Prince, what a great way!"

Yang Yun was originally a chess piece arranged by Wang Meng next to Ran Zhi. After Yang Yun's accidental death, he lost control of Ran Zhi.Although there are still a few chess pieces that entered Yizhou with Yang Yun.However, as Yang Yun's direct descendants, these people will inevitably be suppressed by Ran Zhi, and they no longer have a decisive say in Yizhou.

Thinking of this, Wang Meng felt a headache.

It was Ran Ming's huge plan to let Yang Yun pretend to be a "betrayer" to join Ran Zhi.Yizhou, also known as Taiwan, has been China's territory since ancient times, but the real development time of this Yizhou was very late.Today, more than [-]% of the barbarians are in an uncivilized state.Ran Ming also wanted to obtain this enclave in advance.But it is a pity that he has no ability under his hands.But it's different to induce Ran Zhi to go to Yizhou. This can not only avoid Ran Ming's infamy of killing brothers, but also use Ran Zhi's hand to completely Sinicize Yizhou.

Since Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, set up prefectures and counties, and established the central government's direct management method, this has become an inherent mode of newly developing territories.Under the influence of the idea of ​​the central government's official standard, no one is willing to become an official in a remote area.Talents are unwilling to go to remote areas, and the officials assigned will not do their best. Whether it is the three counties and 56 counties of Jiaozhou laid down by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, or the four counties of the Han Dynasty in Liaodong, in fact, these inherent territories have not been retained.Although these places belong to the Chinese cultural circle, they are the places where Sinicization failed the most.

Ran Ming had discussed this issue with Wang Meng, but Wang Meng's opinion was actually the same as Xi Chao's opinion to Huan Wen.There are two kinds of systems, that is, knowing because of the vulgarity, or governing because of the righteousness of these two political systems.Governance according to customs is a consistent practice in China, whether it is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, or the Mongol Empire.They all adopted the method of governing according to the custom.The advantage of this kind of rule is obvious, that is, less investment and quick results, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, there will be repetitions.

The experience of later generations made Ran Ming realize that it is not advisable to rule because of customs, especially for the flying area of ​​Yizhou, and remote areas like Liaodong and Western Regions.However, it takes a lot of energy to deal with it from the ground up.

In this case, Ran Zhi became the best candidate.I have to admit that Ran Zhi is actually a very capable person, otherwise, it would be impossible for Ran Zhi to resist the attack of Yan State's soldiers for a hundred days (104 days) in Yecheng. Although Ran Zhi was betrayed by a traitor in this battle And failed, but no matter how history is whitewashed, one thing is beyond doubt, that is, after the battle of Yecheng, Yan Kingdom was unable to go south within four years.

As expected by Ran Ming, Ran Zhi unified the whole territory of Yizhou in just three years. He not only forcibly consolidated the scattered Han people, but also looted a large number of Yizhou immigrants like pirates.Such a thing, if we wait for Ran Ming to wipe out the Jin country step by step and unify the world before doing it, let alone whether it will be successful, at least immigrating to Yizhou, it is impossible to do it.After a long period of war, the population of the Han people has reached the lowest level since the unification of the Han Dynasty. Even with the maximum support for population growth, it will take a hundred years for the population to become overpopulated.

When such a thing happened, Wang Meng blamed himself very much.

Ran Ming had no choice but to persuade: "Jing Lue needn't be so discouraged, in fact, this kind of thing has already been expected by this palace!"

"His Royal Highness has already thought of it?" Wang Meng felt incredible.

Ran Ming nodded and said: "Ran Zhi, this person knows too well. He is a person with a strong desire to control. How could he allow someone who doesn't understand to gain absolute power! In fact, I'm sure that from the very beginning, He never trusted Yang Yun. In this world, he would not trust anyone except Pei Bi."

Wang Meng said: "How is this impossible?"

"How is it impossible?" Ran Ming asked back: "Although Yang Yun is smart and capable, he is not a politician after all. He can't even hide his acting from Gu, let alone Ran Zhi. I'm [-]% sure that Yang Yun's death was definitely not an accident, it must have been ordered by Ran Zhi. If Ran Zhi can't cultivate his confidant in three years, even Gu will look down on him!"

Hearing this, Wang Meng didn't bother with this issue, and soon he regained his composure. "His Royal Highness, Yizhou must not lose control."

Ran Ming nodded: "Jing Lue has a good idea!"

Wang Meng thought for a while and said, "Ran Zhi has unified Yizhou. He needs powerful soldiers to fight the world, but he still needs scholars to rule the world!"

"That's a good idea!" Ran Ming said, "Ran Zhi is suspicious by nature, how can we gain his trust? If you can't gain Ran Zhi's trust, such a pawn is useless. First of all, Ran Zhi knows that almost all the servants of the palace, In addition, Ran Zhi's heart was hurt by the nobles of the Wei State, and it is difficult for the nobles' children to gain Ran Zhi's trust."

"I have a good candidate!" Wang Meng said, "Perhaps we can gain Ran Zhi's trust!"

"Oh!" Ran Ming asked curiously, "Is there such a person?"

"Yes" Wang Meng said, "Pei Yu!"

Pei Yu is Pei Bi's elder brother. Because of Pei Bi's matter, although neither Ran Min nor Ran Ming blamed him, but in the officialdom, there are too many people who want to please Ran Min and Ran Ming.Pei Yu, who was originally a Fang Si Lang in the Ministry of Officials, sat on the bench because of this.This Pei Yu resigned in anger and stayed at home.At this time, the Pei family is not the Pei family of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and has not yet risen to that height. Seeing Pei's loss of power, there are many people who are jealous of Pei's fields and wealth.Under all kinds of pressure, Pei's life is very difficult.

Ran Ming said: "You can give it a try!"

Ran Ming is very aware of these noble families, they will not be really loyal to a certain person, but to their own family.As long as they are given the hope of raising the Pei family, they will definitely spare no effort.

Wang Meng then showed Ran Ming the income of Zhongnan Development Company and Nanyang Development Company.Ran Ming looked at the financial statement for a while, and said displeasedly: "What's going on, the profit of the year before last was still 160 million gold, why was there only 95 gold left last year?"

Wang Meng said: "It is said that Nanyang Development Company was suppressed by the Gupta Dynasty."

"No. No!" Ran Ming pointed to the report and said, "Nanyang Development Company only accounted for 30.00% of Ben Gong's revenue. Last year, Nanyang Company only shrunk by less than 30%. What happened to the [-] gold?"

As for the financial statements, Ran Ming had read them for more than 30 years in his previous life. As a gang-related group, Ran Ming was too clear about the tricks in the financial statements.Ran Ming handed the child in his arms to Gong'e, and carefully watched the detailed financial statements.

As far as making false accounts, the professional accountants of later generations are at the level of ancestors.Even so, it still cannot be foolproof.In this era of accounts, although Ran Ming's new accounting method is adopted, there are also loopholes that can be exploited.In fact, these accounting loopholes were deliberately reserved by Ran Ming himself based on his previous life experience, with the purpose of testing those greedy fools.

Time passed unconsciously, gradually Ran Ming watched for more than an hour.Just when Wang Meng was falling asleep, Ran Ming suddenly threw the report on the ground.He shouted loudly, "I'm mad at you, I'm mad at you!"

Wang Meng said: "Your Highness, this is..."

Ran Ming said: "Except for the inner ghost, he dares to covet Mo Bengong's money, he's getting impatient!"

Wang Meng turned pale with shock, he is the manager in charge of Ran Ming's private account, if there is a leak in Yizhou, it is understandable, after all, Ran Zhi is too smart.But when there was a problem with the accounts, Wang Meng had an inescapable responsibility.

Wang Meng said: "Your Highness, who is this ghost?"

Ran Ming said: "Who is in charge of Zhongnan Company now?"

Wang Meng thought for a while and said, "He Huan!"

Ran Ming said: "He Huan, he has been with Gu for almost six or seven years!"

Wang Meng: "The ghost is him?"

Ran Ming said: "I can't be sure if it's him, but he audited the shortfall of nearly 20 gold. Whether it's him or not, he can't stay in Zhongnan Company any longer!"

Wang Meng said: "Meng understands what happened!"

Ran Ming said: "Send someone to find out what's going on. Besides He Huan, there is also the Jin family. Of course, it is necessary for Zhongnan Kaigong Company and Nanyang Development Company to clean it up."

Of course Wang Meng knew that the Jin family was Ran Ming's concubine, but he didn't expect to use her. He Huan was a retainer, and he betrayed the lord, so he was punished severely, but the Jin family was Ran Ming's concubine, and he had to get Ran Ming's concubine. authorized.

Ran Ming said: "If the evidence of the crime is convincing, they, together with their relatives, no matter whether they are accomplices or principal offenders, will all be thrown into the sea!"

Ran Ming hated it very much, some people just remember beatings but not gratitude.No amount of favor can compare to beating.

Generally speaking, the situation of Wei State at this time is good. The Jin Dynasty used the benefits brought by the development of Lingnan to frantically expand its army and prepare for war. Naturally, Huan Wen did not show weakness.In fact, there is no need for Ran Ming to worry, Huan Wen and Sima Dan have already been in an endless situation. Huan Wen has not perished, or the Jin Dynasty has not perished, and their open and secret struggles will continue.
