Tang Dynasty: Starting from Kou Zhong, the heavens rise!

"promise!"

The attendant next to him immediately responded and recorded it in the book.

Everyone knew very well that this reward was to praise the merits of these women who had been in charge of the Chu State.

Of course, for now, Song Yuhua has made great contributions to the pacification of 21 counties in Bashu, and she has the potential to be the first lady of Chu.

Shang Xiuxun was in charge of the Chief Pastoral Supervisor, and his father was the president of Mo Gongyuan. The military all supported Shang Xiuxun, ranking as the second wife.

Next are Wanwan, Shi Qingxuan, and Shi Feixuan. The former has the master Yin Queen and the father of the evil king, and the latter also has the support of the remaining power of Buddhism.

It's a pity that the Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan was trying to make a move during Kou Zhong's retreat, and was stripped of her position as a wine worshipper in the Nuyuan. The disciples of the Yingui Sect lost their power and were replaced by the disciples of Cihang Jingzhai. The master's concubine Xuan was vaguely ranked fourth. Madam's power, Wanwan fell to fifth place.

But everyone knows that Wanwan is the first person to know and have the deepest relationship with Kou Zhong. This is just to punish Zhu Yuyan and will not affect Kou Zhong's impression of Wanwan.

Wanwan didn't have any objections to this. It would definitely be inappropriate to continue to let Zhu Yuyan stay at the women's garden's wine-offering position. It would be better to strip her of her position and let her relax first, open her heart, and adjust her mood. , practice again.

"Yuhua!"

"This time you go south, and one hundred thousand Hengbo troops are at your disposal."

"I heard that people in Lingnan are not very peaceful recently. Nghe An County has many mountains and dense forests, making it difficult to control."

"My old father-in-law, a swordsman, is inevitably overbearing. How can he control the place if he kills everyone with one sword?"

"You personally go there to suppress and use them, resettle the locals and Han people in Longchuan together, and divide the fields into households."

"What bad thoughts can the common people have? They just want to have enough to eat."

Looking at Song Yuhua, Kou Zhong said with a faint smile on his lips.

"..."

Everyone present could not help but twitch their mouths. The sword practitioners are domineering, but what about you?

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that Kou Zhong was determined that Song Que would not attack his daughter and let Song Yuhua control Lingnan from Ngee'an County.

Ngee'an County is located in the Chaoshan area of ​​​​later generations. No fewer than 20 Han people moved south to the area. They built enclosed houses, huddled together for warmth, and competed with the Li people for farmland. It borders Nankang County of Jiangzhou to the north and Longchuan County to the west. It can be regarded as the earliest developed area. One of the Lingnan regions.

As long as we control this place, hundreds of thousands of people are enough to divide it into two counties, or even multiple counties. They can receive supplies from Jiangzhou at any time, posing a threat to Nanhai County, the hometown of the Song clan. Once there is a change, a hundred thousand Hengbo troops will be enough to take over. Nanhai County deters Lingnan counties.

"If I know this, I will live up to the king's expectations."

Song Yuhua's beautiful face full of mature charm was full of determination.

Immediately.

Everyone present could not help but mourn for Song Que. This Lingnan belonged to the Chu State and did not escape.

"Feixuan, Wanwan, Qingxuan."

"Qingxuan will be in charge of the women's garden in Beijing for the time being. Feixuan and Wanwan, you will first open women's gardens in Bashu, Ganlong and Qingliang."

Then, Kou Zhong ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Master Feixuan, Wanwan and Shi Qingxuan nodded, their beautiful eyes shining brightly.

At this time, Kou Zhong looked at Shang Xiuxun: "Xiu Xun, in addition to Jingling Racecourse and Poyang Racecourse, the Si Mu Superintendent also needs to establish Xihai Racecourse and Yiwu Racecourse as soon as possible. There is no racecourse in Guanzhong for the time being, and it is only for the breeding of exotic animals." base."

"Fifteen thousand of the best war horses handed in from all over the country were selected and the spirit beast elixir was mixed into the water for feeding."

"In the near future, these fifteen thousand horses will be used to form the Chu Kingdom's heroic cavalry to conquer the Turks."

"it is good!"

A bright smile bloomed on Shang Xiuxun's face like the warm spring sun, which made people feel warm in their hearts.

Immediately, the women left the hall one after another, knowing that the next topic was not something they could participate in.

"Mr. Bu."

At this time, Kou Zhong's eyes fell on Bu Tianzhi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and said calmly: "Bashu, Ganlong, and Qingliang are all under the control of our army."

"I want to use Shuzhou to take charge of Shu County, Linqiong County, Meishan County, Luchuan County, Jianwei County, Yuexi County, and Ziyang County."

"Bazhou governs Ba County, Paxi County, Fuling County, Tongchuan County, Danqu County and Thanh Hoa County."

"Establish Yizhou to take charge of Jinshan County, Wenshan County, Pingwu County, Yicheng County, Tongchang County and Wudu County."

"Establish Chuanzhou and change Hanchuan County into Hanzhong County, Hanzhong County, Shunzheng County, Hechi County, Dangchang County, Hanyang County, and Lintao County."

"Shangluo County and Xiyang County were abolished, Lantian County and other places were merged into Jingzhaoyin, the Han River Basin was merged into Xicheng County, and the lower reaches of Luoshui River were merged into Nanyang County."

"Establish Yongzhou to take charge of Fengyi County, Fufeng County, Anding County, Beidi County, Tianshui County, and Longxi County."

"Establish Qinzhou to take charge of Shangjun, Diaoyin County, Yan'an County, Honghua County, Shuofang County and Yanchuan County."

"Establish Liangzhou to take charge of Longxi County, Jincheng County, Pingliang County, Huining County, Lingwu County, Wuwei County, and Zhangye County."

"Establish Suzhou to take charge of Wuhan County, Chuihe County, Xiping County, Xihai County, Heyuan County and Lintao County."

"Hezhou was established to take charge of Dunhuang County, Yiwu County, Shanshan County and Qiewei County."

"Ling Jing was appointed the governor of Yizhou, Tang Jian was the governor of Chuanzhou, Wen Yanbo was the governor of Yongzhou, Yu Shinan was the governor of Qinzhou, Xie Tongshi was the governor of Liangzhou, Wei Shizheng was the governor of Hezhou, and Liang Shuo was the governor of Suzhou."

"Fan Zhuo is the captain of Yizhou, Fengzhen is the captain of Chuanzhou, Luo Feng is the captain of Yongzhou, Chuan Mouxun is the captain of Qinzhou, Chen Changlin is the captain of Liangzhou, Bai Wenyuan is the captain of Hezhou, and Jiao Hongjin is the captain of Suzhou."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Upon hearing this arrangement, Bu Tianzhi's eyes immediately lit up.

A state was established from six to seven counties with a population of 50 to 200 million. This was a system of the Chu State that was different from that of the Sui Dynasty. It made it easier to manage local areas and eliminated the risk of local rebellion. The newly established states were all The appointment of the original governors of the Chu State, as well as some local officials from the Sui Dynasty, as governors was enough to eliminate the influence of the previous rebellion against the king.

In addition, the state captains are either the leaders of the Sichuan Gang, the leaders of the Bamong League, or the local county captains of the Chu State. All of them have master-level cultivation, which is enough to suppress a state.

"In this case, Master Na Ling ordered the Bao Tao Army to be dispatched to Shuofang County in the name of the Fifth Army Commandery to kill all the Liang divisions first."

"At what level do you dare to call yourself Emperor Liang?"

"Leave Wuzhou of Dingxiang and Guo Zihe of Yulin aside for the time being. When our Chu Kingdom's knights are fully trained, we will deal with these traitors together."

"We have issued a decree to the world that if anyone dares to collude with the barbarians, we, the State of Chu, will not spare him!"

With a cold face, Kou Zhong shouted sharply.

"promise!"

Xu Ziling immediately responded and went down to make arrangements.

"Edict: Fan Zhuo, Fengzhen, Luo Feng, and Chuan Mouxun have contributed greatly to the pacification of Bashu. They will be awarded viscounts with the titles: Jiangjin, Langzhong, Fuling, and Yufu. Di Zhisun, the governor of Bazhou, bestows viscounts with the title: Jinguan."

"Order Li Gui, Guan Jin, Liang Shuo, Li Yun, An Xiuren, and Cao Zhen to come to Chang'an to have an audience."

Then, Kou Zhong issued two more orders.

"promise!"

The attendants of the King of Chu quickly recorded it and prepared to ride on Jin Yiti to deliver the edict.

Chapter 1: The gold jar is opened for the first time, and there are endless surprises!

As orders were issued one after another, only Kou Zhong, Chen Laomou, and Fu Junma were left in the Qinzheng Hall.

"All the gold, silver and jewelry obtained by the Ministry of Internal Affairs from Yang Gong's treasury were cashed in and made into gold, silver and copper coins for circulation."

"After discussing with the Ministry of Household Affairs, we began to spread it to the fifteen states and three counties under the rule of Chu State."

"The Dangxiang people south of the West Sea, Fuguo, Jialiang, Bobi, Sunyu, Gongda, Bubo, Baoji, Tubo, Xiangxiong, Big and Little Bolu, Nuguo, Niboluo and other countries, as well as Baizi in the southwest , Pubu, and Piao all need to exchange our currency at the border before transactions are allowed."

"Order the Ministry of Household Affairs to send people to Shuzhou, Suzhou, Yizhou, and Hezhou to set up customs clearance ports and markets to collect customs duties and commercial taxes uniformly."

"The silk, tea, salt and iron we have can be traded with various ethnic groups for cattle, sheep and horses under the regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Hangzhou and Minzhou have opened markets to restore the commercial prosperity of the Sui Dynasty and attract merchants from all over the world. , bringing their wealth and goods.”

Glancing at Chen Laomou, Kou Zhong ordered.

After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, it ended nearly four centuries of strife and division since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and provided good conditions for the development of social production. When Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian was in power, agriculture and handicrafts developed greatly, and commerce was extremely developed.

Chang'an, the capital of Xijing, has two cities, the east and west. The east market is a famous city, and the west market is famous for its famous people. There are five kinds of customs, people are mixed up, and Huarong is mixed. They go to farming and do business, competing for day and night profits; doing nothing, competing for a knife. end.

Tokyo's Luoyang business is also very developed, especially after the construction of the canal connecting the north and south waterways, it has become a distribution center for goods from the north and the south.

There are three cities in Luoyang: the east city is named Fengdu, the south city is named Datong-, and the north city is named Tongyuan.

There are 120 rows and more than [-] shops in Fengdu City. Tongyuan City is adjacent to the canal of water transportation in the east, and there are tens of thousands of ships in the river.

Besides Luoyang and Chang'an, Danyang's business can be compared with the two capitals. Nanhai County is a commercial port for overseas trade. Jiangdu, Xuancheng, Piling, Wujun, Kuaiji, Yuhang, and Dongyang are commercial cities in the southeast region. Jinguan City It is the commercial center of Bashu region.

Since Chu State no longer considers exorbitant levies of miscellaneous taxes as a key issue in fiscal revenue, land taxes only play an equal role, and more of them are customs duties and commercial taxes. The development of commerce is the top priority at the moment, especially in Chu State, which has almost When he controlled three-fifths of the world.

There are no less than 50 local state soldiers, county soldiers, and county soldiers in the 150 states alone, not to mention the [-] million soldiers directly under the [-]th Army. Of course, most of them are still in training and suppression. place.

There are six major granaries in Hangzhou, Jiangzhou, Huizhou, Yongzhou, Shuzhou, and Jingzhou. Food can be guaranteed, but soldiers and armor need more smelting.

Now, at least two-thirds of the Chu army still use the weapons and armor of the former Sui Dynasty, and Miao Dao cannot even equip one-half of the direct guards.

"Kings!"

"Go and handle this matter personally."

Chen Laomou, the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, responded with a serious face.

"Ok!"

With a slight chin of his head, Kou Zhong then looked at Fu Junma and said: "Our great state of Chu now has fifteen states, and the local government has envoys to control tens of thousands of households in several states."

"Sima Feng, the envoy of the Southwest Town, supervises Ba, Shu, Yi, Sichuan and all counties in central Guizhou, Southwest Hebei, Pube and other places."

"The northwest town governor was established by thousands of households in Yongzhou, Qinzhou, Liangzhou, Suzhou, and Hezhou, and Luo Qifei was appointed as the northwest town governor."

"As the governor of Jiangnan Town established by thousands of households in Jiangzhou, Huaizhou, Huizhou, Minzhou, and Hangzhou, Mai Yunfei was appointed as the governor of Jiangnan Town."

"In addition, Jiangxia County Qianhu Office, Jingzhou Wanhu Office, Hedong County Wanhu Office, Hongnong County Wanhu Office, and Jingzhao Yin Qianhu Office are temporarily under the direct jurisdiction of Jinyiweinan Town Fusi, Jinjiang Ba is the earl, and the title is: In Jiangxia, Jin Li Junxian was made an earl, with the title: Jiujiang."

"Sima Feng, Luo Qifei, and Mai Yunfei of the Jin Dynasty are viscounts, and their titles are: Xunyang, Shouchun, and Leping."

"Promote Gao Zhandao, Fu Jian, Ma Gui, Shi Jie, Wen Qin, Dongfang Bai, and Pu Shengfeng to barons."

"In the remaining states, ten thousand households are designated as Xuanqiwei, thousands of households are designated as Enqiwei, and hundreds of households are designated as Yihuiwei."

"The number of Jinyi Tiqi under the jurisdiction of Fusi in Beizhen has increased to a thousand. First-class masters from the army and Jinyi guards from all over the country have been selected to join."

The Jinyiwei is considered a military system, but it is independent of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, and each reward requires special arrangements.

But for the Chu State to expand its territory, the role played by Jin Yiwei was immeasurable.

"promise!"

Fu Junma's cold face showed no unnecessary expression and she responded.

Although her relationship with Kou Zhong is not as good as that of Xu Ziling, there is no need to say much more. She is the No. 4 Grandmaster among the elders of Chu State, which is enough to explain everything.

"In that case, go ahead and do it."

"Order Jingua Warriors to guard the outside of the palace. No one is allowed to disturb you without Gu's orders."

After waving his hand, Kou Zhong added a few words.

"promise!"

Chen Laomou, the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Fu Junma, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, and the attendants of the King of Chu left the Qinzheng Hall one after another.

Soon, only Kou Zhong was left in the hall. A glimmer of light appeared in his eyes, and he said silently in his heart: "System, turn all the bronze jars into gold jars and silver jars."

[Ding dong, congratulations to the host for synthesizing a gold jar, eight silver jars, and seven bronze jars left! 】

The system sounded a mechanical prompt as quickly as ever.

From April to now, a full six months have passed, at least more than 180 days. The chance of unlocking high-level treasures from bronze jars is too small. Koo Zhong can only open silver jars and even gold jars as much as possible.

"System, open all the cans!"

Without thinking, Kou Zhong made a decision directly.

[Ding dong, congratulations to the host for opening the golden jar and obtaining: a small spiritual vein! 】

what?

Hearing the mechanical prompt sound in his mind, Kou Zhong's eyes almost popped out of his head.

Generally, spiritual veins are divided into micro, small, medium, large, giant, innate spiritual veins and ancestral spiritual veins.

Generally, a three-star world can only produce micro spiritual veins that can cover ten miles at most. Small spiritual veins can already cover a hundred miles. Medium spiritual veins can cover a thousand miles. Large spiritual veins can cover a land of thousands of miles. Giant spiritual veins can cover a land of ten thousand miles. The pulse can cover a land of one hundred thousand miles.
