The submission of the Taiyuan Wang clan also means the submission of Taiyuan County.

The county commanders of the remaining three counties of Taiyuan County, Yangyi County, Wu County and Daling County heard the news of the Taiyuan Wang's return to Han Cheng, and rushed to Taiyuan County to hand over the 'Surrender Form' to Han Cheng.

Since then, the land of the eight counties of Taiyuan County has also been included in Han Cheng's territory.

From Zhongdu County to Taiyuan Wang's return to Taiyuan County, in less than a month and a half, the entire Taiyuan County was completely taken down by the Fenwu Army.

Although there are still some forces that do not obey Han Cheng's management, they have no impact on the overall situation.

After the war, the biggest problem was governance.

After Han Cheng left Huang Zhong and the men and horses of the Qinglong Battalion and the Qianggong Battalion to garrison Taiyuan County, he hurriedly returned to Yinguan County, Yanmen County.

He ordered his scribes to be gathered.

Brainstorming has always been the practice that Han Cheng called for. Choosing the best development plan from the different opinions of many people is the wisest decision of a lord.

Three days later, Han Cheng's scribes came to the county office of Yinguan County, exchanging things with each other while waiting for Han Cheng's arrival.

Within a while, Han Cheng and Li Ru were late.

Han Cheng led everyone into the hall and said to the subordinates standing aside, "Serve tea to you!" ”

Then he turned to the crowd and said, "Sit down, everybody!" ”

Among this group of people, there is Xu Miao who came from Shuofang County; There was Cui Lin who came from Yunzhong County; There is also Han Ye and Gongsun Fang, who came from Changshan County; Min Chun, who came from Dai County, and Wang Ling, Wang Chang, and Jia Kui from Taiyuan County.

Han Cheng looked at the scribes gathered and couldn't help but sigh: "

Fighting a war is the business of generals and strategists; But it is your business to govern the place.

Although you don't have to go to the front line to fight the enemy, in my Han Cheng's heart, you are as great as the soldiers in front.

You are in the rear, ensuring the stability of every county, providing food, grass and goods, and housing the families of the dead soldiers and the places of the wounded and wounded soldiers, and you will not pay less than the generals in the front.

But generals may be passed down through the ages because of the power of the First World War, what about you?

Ten years later, maybe someone will remember you; But in a hundred years, who will remember your name? ”

Li Ruxin, who was sitting on the number one chair under Han Cheng, said: "High! This sycophant, oh. No, that's a high word! ”

Everyone was a talented and agile person, how could they not understand Han Cheng's thoughts?

Although Han Cheng said such a lost truth in addition to patting their ass, this lost truth was enough to move their hearts.

I don't know who took the lead, everyone knelt on the ground and said in unison: "The lord has us in his heart, we are already content, and I wish the lord to die without regrets!" ”

Han Cheng was inspired by it, and at the same time, he also had a little purpose of his own.

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Han Cheng pretended to be dumbfounded and said, "What are you doing here?" I'm just telling the truth. ”

The fastest reaction was none other than the youngest Wang Chang, and as soon as Han Cheng's voice fell, Wang Chang immediately replied: "The lord is telling the truth, but it is also a heartfelt word, we can meet this master, it is really a blessing for three lives." ”

Everyone already had words in their hearts, but not as fast as Wang Chang, they all looked at this sixteen-year-old young man more or less with their eyes, and said in their hearts: "Young people are fast!" ”

After Wang Chang finished speaking, Cui Lin hurriedly added a few words: "We know that the lord has not forgotten us, and we can only repay the lord's kindness by doing our best." ”

After Cui Lin finished speaking, Han Cheng hurriedly restrained Han Ye, who was about to speak, and said, "I know all of your thoughts. Now let Captain Han get down to business. ”

Xin said: "My obedient, I don't stop there, today's theme has been changed to 'On Han Cheng's Great Achievements'." ”

Li Ru is okay with calculations, but when he says such a crepe thing, it's really a little worse, and he can't interject all the time.

Hearing Han Cheng say that he finally let himself speak, he sat upright and said, "In the first two months of the battle, we obtained a total of 500,000 stone of grain and captured more than 30,000 soldiers. And the Taiyuan Wang clan also took out 400,000 taels of gold to help us build the city. ”

After listening to Li Ru's report, everyone instantly found a feeling of 'big tyrant': there is money, people, and food.

Everyone knew what it meant to have a lot of wealth and money-free manpower, but they didn't need it in their own hands, so they just lamented that the battle was very fruitful.

Only Han Ye in Changshan County was very anxious, because Han Ye was really short of money and food.

Because of the continuous war, the stability of Changshan County and the name of Yanmen County's 'land division order' spread more and more widely, and hundreds of thousands of people came to Changshan County with their families.

Although Changshan County has a solid family background, it can't stand so many stutters.

As soon as Li Ru's words fell, Han Ye immediately got up and said to Han Cheng: "Tell the state pastor, there are more and more people who have fled to Changshan County, and I ask for the aid of 50,000 stone of grain." ”

Han Cheng looked at his younger brother and said in his heart: "Han Ye has grown up, and he has become more and more concerned about the affairs of the people. ”

He said, "Accurate! When you go back, you will have 50,000 stone of grain with you. ”

Han Ye knew that he was a little presumptuous in what he said, and said embarrassedly: "Xie Zhoumu is sympathetic. ”

Han Cheng waited for a while, and when he saw that no one in the crowd got up to speak, he said, "Since I have so much wealth and manpower, I plan to develop and merge the state." ”

Everyone had no objection to Han Cheng's development direction, and quietly waited for Han Cheng's next step.

Seeing that everyone was so sensible, Han Cheng said: "The first step is to rebuild Dacheng County in Shuofang County and Jiuyuan County in Wuyuan County.

It was not a simple reinforcement of the city walls, but the tearing down of the walls and rebuilding them.

It is necessary not only to expand the scope of the county seat, but also to increase the height of the city wall and thicken the thickness of the city wall. What do you think? ”

After hearing Han Cheng's words, everyone was stunned, and then they talked and discussed it from ear to ear.

In the minds of these people, Shuofang County and Wuyuan County in the north of Bingzhou are desolate places, exiled places, and it is not worth rebuilding the city at all.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Xu Miao, who knew the situation in these two counties, was elected as a representative by everyone, stood up, and said respectfully to Han Cheng:

"My lord, my subordinates think that the plan to rebuild the city is not appropriate.

Shuofang County and Wuyuan County in the north of Bingzhou are desolate places, and even if they build cities, they can't develop, isn't this a waste of manpower and financial resources?

Besides, it will not cost a small amount of money to rebuild these two county towns according to your plan. ”

Han Cheng saw that everyone's attitude was very consistent, and said in a calm tone: "Jingshan! Is that what you mean, or is that what everyone means? ”

Xu Miao replied politely: "This is the result of everyone's discussion. ”

Han Cheng was very disappointed, and could only sigh in his heart: "Hey! There are some things that you can't blame them, after all, they don't see things from the same perspective as themselves. They have to start from the overall situation, and they only think about local gains and losses. ”

Han Cheng eased his disappointment and said calmly:

From a military point of view, this plan was to build a garrison in the land of these two counties, and when the ethnic minorities went south, in order to ensure the smooth flow of supplies, they would inevitably consider the existence of these two cities, and only by pulling out these two cities could they go south smoothly.

And if we build these two cities with thick walls, we only need to send a small number of troops to defend these two cities, and we can indirectly prevent the minority people from moving south. For that reason alone, I think these two cities must be built. ”

After everyone heard Han Cheng's reason, they felt a burst of remorse in their hearts.

"Why didn't I think of that?"

"What the lord said makes sense!"

Han Cheng lowered his head when he saw some people, and continued: "From a business point of view, there are huge business opportunities hidden in this plan.

For where there is a city, there is a place for trade; Where there is a place to trade, there will be merchants.

Cheap tea and cloth from the south, and even expensive silk products, would come with merchants to the northern steppes;

The cheap wool and mutton on the grassland could also go to the Central Plains or the southern region through the merchants.

The difference in the price of an item between the north and the south is enough to make merchants flock to it.

Besides, if we become the biggest businessmen and monopolize this business, we will make a lot of money. ”

The crowd bowed their heads again. Han Cheng is right! Not to mention anything else, the huge price difference between the north and the south is all gold.

Han Cheng continued: "In addition to the two aspects just mentioned, there is another point in this plan, and it is also the most important point.

The army of the Southern Xiongnu is already part of my Fenwu army, and in the same way, the people of the Southern Xiongnu are also the people under the rule of my Han Cheng.

They also have the right to enjoy life, and after the completion of these two county seats, the people of the Southern Xiongnu can also buy their favorite things in the county market like us: food, drink, play, and use. ”

Xu Miao can best understand the contradiction between the Han people and the Southern Xiongnu people.

In the past few months, there have been no less than 300 disputes between the Han and the Southern Xiongnu alone, and many of them are not ranked at all.

Xu Miao also knew that the reason for these contradictions was that the Han people looked down on the Southern Xiongnu people.

The policy of building a city by the lord will well reduce the contradictions between the Han people and the Southern Xiongnu people.

Thinking about this, Xu Miao said: "Lord, after listening to you, Jingshan suddenly realized. Jingshan is willing to atone for his sins and is responsible for all matters related to the construction of the city. ”

Han Cheng said: "Okay! None of you here know these two counties better than you. Don't worry, do it boldly."

After Han Cheng finished solving the first step plan, he was slightly happy in his heart, and then continued: "My second step plan is to merge the two counties of Yunzhong County and Dingxiang County into one county, and call it "Yunxiang County".

And mainly expand the construction of six of the county seats-Shanan County, Yunzhong County, Wuquan County, Dingxiang County, Shanwu County and Luo County.

And all the current people will be moved to these six counties, and the other counties will not be needed. ”

After hearing Han Cheng's words, Cui Lin, who was particularly familiar with the two counties, thought for a moment, felt as if he understood Han Cheng's thoughts in his heart, stood up and said to the people sitting again:

"Guys, let me tell you about this second step.

The land of these two counties is small and the fertility of the land is uneven.

Originally, there were 13 county seats, and the largest county was only more than 10,000 households and more than 30,000 people; The smallest county has less than 1,000 households and less than 3,000 people.

It takes a lot of time and manpower to make official appointments or deal with government affairs.

The six county towns expanded and built by the lord are the best choice in terms of geographical location and fertility of the land.

In this way, we can cultivate the most fertile land and produce the most grain for the people under our rule, so that we can collect the most taxes.

It can be said that the land is fully utilized according to the actual situation. ”

After finishing speaking, Cui Lin said to Han Cheng: "Lord, I don't know if what I said is right, if there are any shortcomings, please give me some advice." ”

Han Cheng said: "What Cui Lin said is exactly what I meant, do you have any objections?" ”

Seeing that what Cui Lin said was in order, everyone replied in unison: "No objection!" ”

Seeing that the second step of the plan was successfully passed, Han Cheng continued to say happily: "The third step plan is to build a state academy in Taiyuan County, Taiyuan County.

As long as the children of the people under my rule, as long as they are between the ages of six and ten, the children of innocent people can be admitted to the hospital to study. ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall instantly erupted in opposition, and the three of them stood up without hesitation to stop Han Cheng.
