Chapter Seven: The Lifeblood of Liaodong [No. 6 Second Update]
When a dragon blade warrior quickly went to inform Guo Jia and the others, Wang Tianjie slowly sat on the chair and gradually calmed down and thought slowly.
"Big brother (lord), what happened to make it so urgent?" Lu Bu and the others entered the council hall almost at the same time, and they all immediately asked.
Wang Tianjie waved his hand slowly, then stood up from the chair and walked to the model, and said to everyone: "Everyone, let's take a look at the overall terrain of our Liaodong!" ”
Although Lu Bu and the others who heard the words were a little puzzled, they still quickly came to the model and observed them carefully.
"I wonder what everyone thinks after reading it?" Wang Tianjie asked.
After looking at it for a long time, Zhang Liao first spoke: "My lord, from the topographic map, from the overall topography of our Liaodong, we can show that the central part of the entire Liaodong has formed a vast area and fertile soil "black soil" due to the many rivers that have been continuously scoured and precipitated for a long time, and its surroundings are all surrounded by tall mountains or plateaus, which can be said to form a natural defensive barrier for our Liaodong, and only the plain area in the south can lead to the Central Plains. However, in contrast, although there is a flat plain in the south that can lead to the Central Plains, it is not wide enough. It's like ......, it's like ....... Zhang Liao couldn't remember what to use to describe it for a while.
Seeing that Zhang Liao spoke so well-organized, and he still has a certain level of professionalism. It seems that Zhang Liao has indeed benefited a lot from studying "Tiancheng Book", which made Wang Tianjie nod secretly in his heart.
"Isn't it, like a big cloth bag?" Seeing that Zhang Liao couldn't describe it for a while, Wang Tianjie replied on his behalf.
"Yes, yes, like a big cloth bag!" After listening to Wang Tianjie's description, Zhang Liao agreed.
And Guo Jia, who had not spoken, began to frown slightly at this time.
At this time, Wang Tianjie made a gesture of tying a rope and tying a knot to everyone present and said at the same time: "If a cloth bag is tied to death by someone so tightly, then what will happen to the things in the bag?" ”
When Wang Tianjie said this, the expressions of everyone present, including Guo Jia, changed drastically, and it was obvious that everyone had realized what Wang Tianjie was referring to.
"Look here!" Wang Tianjie planted a small red flag in the fatal position of the diorama and continued: "As Zhang Liao said, and I used to think so, in Liaodong can be said to be almost all surrounded by tall mountains or plateaus, forming a natural protective barrier for us, but it was not until today that I saw this physical terrain and landform model, and I suddenly realized that the situation in front of us at this moment is also precarious.
If our enemies fasten this place like a sack before we do, then we will be slaughtered by our enemies like a turtle in an urn and a tiger in a cage. Wang Tianjie said with a stern expression.
When he saw that everyone's expressions were solemn, Wang Tianjie also relieved in a timely manner: "This place is like the lifeblood of our throat, but the key depends on who is in control." If we can get a better deal out of here, it will be a very good situation for us. Once this place is firmly controlled by us, we can not only attack and retreat, but also this is also our "springboard" for the Central Plains in the future. ”
"My lord, what are you waiting for? Send me to the old man and promise to take it down for the lord. Dian Wei said hurriedly.
Everyone present listened to Dian Wei's words, and they all laughed, and Dian Wei was confused for a while. Tai Shici told Dian Wei the reason why everyone laughed, and after learning the reason, Dian Wei looked a little embarrassed and laughed. However, after this episode, the extremely tense atmosphere just now was suddenly relieved a lot.
"Bonghyo, what do you think?" Wang Tianjie asked Guo Jiadao, who had been speechless.
And Guo Jia first looked at the topographic map silently for a long time, and then said slowly: "Lord, this is Guo Jia's dereliction of duty, and he almost buried all the hard work of the lord." ”
"Huh! Fengxiao don't blame yourself, how can you not blame you. If you really want to blame it, you can only blame me, and I was too taken for granted before. When I saw this from the model, it really made me break out in a cold sweat.
But fortunately, we have been seen early, and it is not too late to remedy it. Fengxiao, how do you think we can firmly grasp our lifeline? Wang Tianjie said with a smile and changed the subject.
In fact, Guo Jia can't be blamed for this, if it weren't for Wang Tianjie's idleness and sudden desire to build this Liaodong terrain and landform model, I'm afraid that even Wang Tianjie would not have shown this fatal point.
"My lord, from the topographical analysis, here is a plateau in the west and the vast sea in the east, and only the middle is a flat plain terrain. If the lord casts a solid fortress here, and then sends a general to garrison here, it will definitely be a trend of 'one husband is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open', so that the lifeline can be firmly grasped in the hands of the lord. The talented Guo Jia pointed to the key in one sentence.
"Feng Xiao is right! Come to everyone, it can be said that this is the only and fastest passage from Liaodong to the Central Plains. However, since there is hardly any checkpoint between here and the main city, once the enemy attacks is undoubtedly unimpeded, the main city can be attacked directly.
Moreover, although we have earned a lot of taxes from a large number of merchants during the continuous economic development in the past year, I think that the goods that were concealed or falsely reported by these merchants during this period have also caused us to lose a lot of tax revenue. Wang Tianjie asked.
And Tian Yu and Zhen Yi, who were in charge of the economy, all nodded, although they knew that a large number of businessmen had concealed and falsely reported their information, but they had been suffering from no solution. As a result, we can only watch the continuous loss of large amounts of tax revenue.
"Then, if we build a fortress here, we can not only firmly control the lifeblood of our Liaodong, but also lay the foundation for our future pursuit of the Central Plains. It also firmly controls the economic and trade lifeline of those merchants, and we can take stock of the goods and commodities of the merchants when they pass through the fortress, so that we are not afraid of these merchants evading taxes. In addition, with the continuous development of commerce, the fortress we have built is bound to quickly become a huge commercial city.
Although it may be necessary to build such a fortress in the early stage, it may cost us all our previous savings, but from the perspective of long-term interests, it is definitely a huge profit.
In addition, the construction of this fortress can also relieve the pressure on the main city as much as possible, so as to ensure the safety of the lives and property of the common people. Therefore, in the overall strategic sense, it is definitely more strategic. Wang Tianjie analyzed the pros and cons of building a fortress in detail.
As Tian Yu and Zhen Yi, who are in charge of the economy, they fully understand what Wang Tianjie said about how great the establishment of the fortress will be for the Liaodong Economic Exhibition, and the tax evasion of businessmen alone can increase by at least 30% every year, and the increase in this fund every year alone is very objective, and as Wang Tianjie analyzed, it will definitely play an immeasurable role in the Liaodong Economic Exhibition.
At the moment, Tian Yu and Zhen Yi expressed their full support for the establishment of this fortress in terms of financial resources.
Others also expressed their full support for the establishment of the fortress in the shortest possible time.
