Country and Beauty

Due to the special nature of the Institute of Martial Studies, it was necessary to keep the secret. Xie Fei thought that he had to separate these more than ten thousand skilled workers and their families into one. With so many people living and eating, along with the support personnel and guards, there should not be less than fifteen thousand people. Xie Fei used the Immortal Gate Mountain in the southwest of Qingzhou as a secret base and moved all of the more than 100 households that lived there. The Shenxian Gate Mountain is a strange and steep mountain with abundant vegetation and rich original ecological aura. The Immortal Gate Mountain was completely stained with forest, red, yellow, and green. From afar, they could see that the top of the stronghold was like the hair of an ancient lady. It was commonly known as the "stronghold with a bun".

The village was surrounded by cliffs and cliffs. From the bottom of the cliff, the towering "hair bun" pierced the clouds. From the top of the village, one could see mountains and ravines as far as the eye could see and the houses were only the size of a fist. In and out of the mountain stronghold, there were only two mountain entrances, the east gate and the west gate. On both sides of the mountain ridge were deep valleys that caused one to feel dizzy and dizzy. In the middle of the mountain ridge, there was a bulging stone bag blocking the way, just like a bunker in a modern war.

The "quarry shed" was originally a quarry in ancient times.

In order to strengthen the mountain stronghold's defenses, Xie Fei built a high and thick stone wall around the mountain with the square stone. On the platform at the top of the mountain, he built a watchtower, a horse running field, a cistern, a rice mortar and other living facilities. The top of the stronghold was very big. The stronghold was divided into four small strongholds: East, West, South and North. Each small stronghold had a natural high point, and the four high points resonated with each other.

In order to transport weapons easily to the outside, as well as food supplies to the inside, Xie Fei added on the construction of the official road.

The Immortal Gate Mountain was also a treasure mountain, and the ore reserves here were extremely rich, its quality was also very high, and compared to the Jingshan s of Xie Fei's peach forest, the quality was not inferior to the Jingshan's. Not only were the ore reserves high, the surrounding environment was also extremely suitable for large-scale mining. However, due to the limited manpower, this place had only used less than 1% of its production capacity. It was actually not difficult to get enough manpower, Xie Fei only needed to issue a recruitment notice, and there would be enough people to apply. However, there was one problem here. It was not like the common practice in the ancient times for Xie Fei to recruit people for his work, he would force them to work for him, and Xie Fei would pay them well and would not force them to work too much. Although Xie Fei had a golden mountain and a silver mountain, they only produced around 40,000 taels of gold annually, with less than a million taels of silver. Right now, the province was full of useless work, and money was needed everywhere in order to recruit people. For the big picture, Xie Fei's current financial situation was very tight, so how could he possibly come out with a large amount of money to recruit labourers. Thus, this matter had been dragged on.

However, in order to satisfy the basic needs of the Institute of Martial Studies, Xie Fei had captured those six thousand strong people, who refused to surrender even at death's door, as hard labor. Other than giving them three meals a day, there was basically no need to pay any other fees. Furthermore, the output of the food was extremely high, and the prisoners did not have the right to rest, so they were able to work continuously for a long period of time. Naturally, Xie Fei would not allow them to scold or even kill prisoners at will.

Xie Fei handed over all six thousand of the captives to the commander of the Institute of Martial Studies's garrison, Li Qing. Li Qing was Li Shan's younger brother, and was one of the first fifteen to follow Xie Fei. Li Qing was not only extremely loyal to Xie Fei, he was also a talented person, and was extremely intelligent. After three months of quick training from Xie Fei at Qu Yang Military Academy, Li Qing had already grown into a mature Black Shirt Army officer.

Xie Fei clearly told Li Qing: "Every captive needs to be recorded and recorded, and their labour must be used in a reasonable manner. Scolding and cursing of a captive are strictly prohibited, and captives are not allowed to be killed for no reason either. If anyone dares to go against these prohibitions, I will punish them severely! "

Seeing Xie Fei's stern face, Li Qing immediately kneeled on the ground and replied seriously: "This lowly one will spare no effort to carry out Master's orders. If you violate his orders, you will be willing to accept my military punishment."

Right now, Xie Fei's forces in the Azure Province were fully operational, and all sorts of matters were being carried out in an orderly fashion. In the past few days, the political affairs of the Azure Province had gradually started to take a turn for the better as military, political, and farming affairs began to develop in an orderly fashion. Xie Fei traveled between the Apricot Forest Hall, the Qingzhou University, and the Institute of Martial Studies everyday. Originally, when Xie Fei had calmed down the Azure Province, there were many things to do, so there would be a lot of busy things to do. However, Xie Fei had only set up all the rules and regulations to be handed over to his subordinates, the civil officials to deal with. Naturally, Xie Fei was able to become a hands-off manager.

Merchants were the most knowledgeable in the world, and it was they who spread the news. The Black Shirt Army attacked the detritus s of the Huns, defeated the Otherworldly King, and allied troops of the Huns. With the momentum of a thunderbolt, they restored the peace of Qingzhou. In the period after Xie Fei restored the peace of Qingzhou, the deeds of the Black Shirt Army were spread to every corner of the Central Plains by the merchants.

Then, at the various teahouses and restaurants, there were basically all those people who were telling stories about how amazing and powerful the Black Shirt Army was, and how it cared for the citizens and punished the tyrants. However, the meaning expressed by those who told stories was basically the positive one, and the majority of the citizens had mixed feelings about the various actions taken by the Black Shirt Army. In the eyes of the vast majority of the people, the Black Shirt Army was the name of the strongest and most invincible war god, and was a well-deserved title of the Chinese warlord. As the rumors of the matters regarding the Black Shirt Army spread, the reputation of the Black Shirt Army and Xie Fei became even more famous, and in the eyes of the masses, Beigong Chun was the undisputed war god. After calming down the Azure Province, Zu Ti, Chen Chuan, Chen Chuan and Ran Zhan became one of the most famous martial generals in the world.

However, the spread of these rumors also had a negative impact on the Black Shirt Army. The reason was simple, the so called 'The wood is fine in the forest, but the wind will destroy it', the peak of Black Shirt Army's prestige would definitely attract the attention of everyone in the world, and at the same time, would enrage many people with ulterior motives. In the hearts of many people, they had already formed a circle surrounding the Black Shirt Army. Once the time was ripe, these powers would join forces and launch a fierce attack on the Black Shirt Army.

Xie Fei took care of the capital construction work of the Institute of Martial Studies, and gave the things that were good for inventing weapons to the professional technicians, so that Ning Dan could work together and command the Institute of Martial Studies. Then, Xie Fei returned to Qingzhou City. He still had one more thing to do. Xie Fei wanted to follow Li Shimin's example and establish the Floating Cloud Pavilion. He wanted to place the corpses of the fallen soldiers into the Floating Cloud Pavilion to be revered by tens of thousands of people. 's actions were not only to calm Hei Shanjunshibing's heart, he also had another goal, which was to incite the Chinese people in the entire world to be courageous and courageous. This made them understand that the Black Shirt Army was for the nation and its people, and its achievements were brilliant and glorious, and its blood was a very special thing. With bloodlust, it would allow people to have a very unique characteristic, which was very important to the country, and it was hard to imagine what it would be like if a country lacked the heart to advance. No matter how strong the sheep and horses were, they would still be eaten by humans in the end. Although the wolves were small, they were bloodthirsty and ate meat everywhere. The Han people were actually just herbivores. Although they had the strength and could work as hard as an ox, in the end, they became a delicacy in the mouths of others.

The three largest dynasties in Chinese history are the Tang, Yuan, Qing and Tang dynasties. Li Shimin possessed the bloodline of the Xianbei member, so he could not be considered a real Chinese. Everyone in Yuan knew that he was the ancestor of the Mongols, not to mention the people in Qing and Qing dynasties. But what is the reason why we can't see the Chinese style when we turn over history? It's actually very simple, because we aren't bloodthirsty enough, much less bloodthirsty enough. Although there were people who would refute this point of view, why did they let someone else's knife land on their head? Why did they not know what resistance was?

As soon as Xie Fei entered the Cyan Plains City and returned to the Cyan Plains City, Chen Wu, Xun Chuo and Pei Xian immediately came to see him.

The moment Xie Fei entered the inner hall of the thorny history Hospital, the three of them quickly stood up and saluted: "Master!"

"Everyone, no need to be so courteous. Sit down." Xie Fei said warmly.

Xie Fei walked up to the main seat and sat down, then asked: "Is there an urgent matter for everyone to look for me?"

After a moment of silence, Xun Chuo said, "My lord, our finances are already rather difficult. The key problem is that we are the most lacking in food, so the recent expenses are enormous. Xun Chuo's tone revealed his obvious worry.

Xie Fei lowered his head to think for a moment, then raised his head and asked: "What suggestions do you two have?"

Xun Chuo and Pei Xian looked at each other, then looked at Chen Wu. In the end, it was Xun Chuo who said: "I recommend that Master temporarily increase the taxes, especially reintroduce the tax on the road and increase the tax on the businesses. At the same time, temporarily deduct the wages of the workers in the official industry. This way, we can increase our income by a large amount, and even if we have to deal with it for another two years, it won't be a problem! "

Xie Fei frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Pei Xian and asked: "What do you think?"

Pei Xian immediately cupped his fists towards Xie Fei and replied: "In terms of internal management, the constitution is far inferior to Xun Chuo! He thinks that Xun Chuo's suggestion is the only feasible one at the moment! "

Xie Fei lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then, he raised his head and looked at Pei Xian and Xun Chuo, his expression extremely solemn. Xian and Xun Chuo unconsciously sat up straight, staring at Xie Fei. Xie Fei shot Chen Wu a questioning look.

Chen Wu hurriedly stood up and said, "This subordinate agrees!"

Xie Fei shook his head and replied sternly: "If you want to compete for the world, the most important thing is to obtain the hearts of the people, and to truly obtain the hearts of the people does not depend on small favours or favours, but on the credibility of the ones with power. If you do not have the credibility, no one would believe you, and talking about winning the hearts of the people, the same goes for the principle of trust. "Since we have already promised the people before, from today onwards, we will not collect any taxes in the Azure Province, and within three years, we will pay half of the tax. Then, no matter how difficult it is, we cannot break this promise."
