Chapter 343: Pick up the pace

"Today's matter, don't leak it out for the time being, Daqi's primary purpose now is to strengthen himself.

Recently, isn't it going to conquer Tushanbu? In this way, the military department Shangshu ordered the defenders of Qingzhou in Jingzhou to send 5,000 troops each, and after destroying Tushan, they hoarded troops in Tushan, Jingzhou, and Qingzhou.

Within two years, we must push the southern border of our Daqi to the Yangtze River.

Yang Hao said in a deep voice.

When the generals heard that there was another battle to be fought, they suddenly came to their senses.

Most of the civil officials thought about it more, and Shaoyan said: "King, the land of Miao Barbarian is mostly dense with mountains, jungles and rivers, and my Daqi has always been dominated by cavalry.

It's hard to make a difference in a place like this.

If it were to be attacked by an infantry army, I am afraid it would not have been fought in a period of time.

Moreover, not long after the summer of my Great Qi, all states need a lot of money and grain.

At this time, if the grain and grass are spent on Miao Man, the minister feels that it is a little inappropriate.

"The minister also thinks that what Zuo Xiang said is extremely true, and the king should think twice."

Yin agreed.

Yang Hao pondered for a moment and said: "I don't know what the two prime ministers said, but time doesn't wait for me, now I seem to be strong, but in fact it is just a projectile land."

There are strong enemies in the West, how can this king be at ease.

This land of Middle-earth is the world of my great Qi, and if we do not speed up our pace, what awaits us in the future may be the danger of extinction of the country and the species.

Everyone was silent again, although they also felt that the mysterious civilization was somewhat threatening, they couldn't understand Yang Hao's mood at this time.

The atmosphere in the study was a little dull, and after a long time, Ren Zhong, who had been promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "King Qiyu, the minister has a strategy to solve the worries of the Miao people. ”

"What's the solution?"

"Since the terrain of the seedling land is complex, the king can't attack it, and my clan can slowly figure it out.

"I don't know how Ren Shangshu is slowly drawing?"

Shaoyan asked.

Ren Zhong smiled and said, "King, colleagues! Nowadays, the Miao people rely on our country for many materials.

As long as I cut off the supply to it, the Miao people will be in chaos.

Of course, this is a situation where both sides completely tear their faces.

Chen felt that since the Miao people were so dependent on Daqi, why didn't we use materials as bait, exchange things for land, and build cities in newly acquired land, so as to gradually advance southward.

After I Qi people gain a firm foothold over there and find out the local environment, the Miao people can only go through the road of defeat or submission.

After Yang Hao listened, his eyes showed a look of thought.

"What if the Miao people don't change?"

Ren Zhong smiled when he heard this: "The king is too worried, the Miao people are just some loose tribal alliances, and some of them, the minister believes that they should be very willing to give up their land." ”

Yang Hao patted his head and secretly said that he was old and confused, but he didn't expect this layer.

"Good! Ren Shangshu's words are extremely good! Just act according to this policy, and draw up a detailed charter in a while, and let Jingzhou and Qingzhou Assassins assist in completing this matter. ”

After a pause, he said: "Whether this plan works or not, we must be ready to move troops." ”

"Obey your orders!"

And they all bowed.

The meeting in the imperial study was dispersed, and after a few days, the ordinary people did not notice it, but the officials of the Qi State vaguely felt that the atmosphere in the court was a little strange.

The sudden decree required local governments to speed up the progress of various projects.

Especially in the punishment of corruption and bending the law and doing things unfavorably, its intensity makes people feel numb when they see it.

And Yang Hao took advantage of this almost to bring the spy organization to the fore completely.

The establishment of a regulatory organization different from that of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Jinyiwei does not listen to the dispatch of any department, and belongs to the army of the Son of Heaven alone.

The establishment of Jinyiwei immediately made the officials of the DPRK and China sit on pins and needles.

In the past, they only knew that Yang Hao had a special group in his hands, and when they got it to the surface, they knew how terrible this organization was.

In troubled times, Yang Hao was so fierce that he even felt scared, under a series of strict supervision methods.

In the entire year of the eighth year of Hongwu, there were no cases of officials violating law and discipline.

As the imperial court tightened its belt, it increased its support for various projects.

Let the infrastructure construction of Qi country be caused by a rapid pace.

Until the beginning of the ninth year of Hongwu, when the imperial court summarized the year-end summary, the roads in each state had been completed by two-thirds, and if it continued at this speed, it would take less than a year to realize that all roads in the territory of Qi would lead to Chang'an.

Hubu Shangshu expanded the statistical results and continued to read: "This year, a total of 53 roads have been built in Daqi, and its main roadbed has been completed except for Qinzhou.

An iron ore mine was discovered in Qinzhou, and the household department has allocated materials to start building a dam.

The new dam is expected to be completed in the 11th year of Hongwu.

The southern track has been laid to Jingzhou, and it is expected to be connected to Chang'an within a year.

At this age, the average grain output per household is 2,000 catties, and the raw hemp is 1,000 bunches, and the border states have completed agricultural transformation, and the land distribution has been preliminarily completed.

The above household statistics have been recorded.

After listening to this, Yang Hao nodded with satisfaction.

This result is still within the scope of his acceptance, although there have been some minor turmoil this year, on the whole, the Qi country is still moving forward steadily.

In particular, the increase in grain production has made him more confident.

"How big is my population now?"

Tobe Shangshu said: "Back to the king!" According to state reports, the recorded population is about 1.3 million.

It is not clear for the time being that it has not been registered, but it is thought that there will be no less than 200,000 people.

"Well, the results will be counted as soon as possible, and the local governments will be ordered to improve the household registration system as soon as possible, so that I can have one book for each household.

The policy of encouraging childbirth will continue to be implemented, and those who are found to have killed infants without cause must be severely punished.

"Command!"

"How's the military department?"

"Back to the king! This year, a total of 33,000 people who have returned home from various armed forces have been paid retirement benefits, and the corresponding merits have been settled.

But so far, we have a total of 100,000 troops.

More than 47,000 soldiers have been recruited this year, and 3,100 low-ranking officers have been assigned to the relevant armies.

Due to the destruction of Tushan, Zhang Dutong's department guarded this place, and the rest of the departments were in their own towns, and there was no abnormality.

Yang Hao nodded and said: "Order Zhang Song to give an ultimatum to the small clan in the south, one is to choose to submit, and the other is to let them die!" There is no third way to go. ”

Listening to Yang Hao's murderous words, the ministers suddenly felt a pang in their hearts, and secretly guessed what the reason why Yang Hao was so anxious.

Those poor jingle places, to be honest, are dispensable in most people's hearts.

Conquest there will only increase the burden on the Qi State, but as the founding monarch, Yang Hao already has incomparable majesty, plus most of the time, his decisions are right, so no official jumped out against anything.
