The county town?

These remarks aroused the ponderance of various officials of the DPRK and China.

If we can continue to manage them at different levels, we will only need to manage six or seven county agencies, as they did a year ago, and there will undoubtedly be a lot of streamlining.

Qin Changfeng, the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, held the wat board and said: "The old minister has a suggestion, Your Majesty may wish to issue an order to allow the counties to migrate their populations to the county seats, so that the whole country can take the county town as the center, so that the major caravans can be more convenient, and a large market county town has been formed." ”

Yang Mu felt that it made sense, so he waved his hand: "Allowed!" The establishment of a large trade fair, your Ministry of Commerce has to bother more, within two years, all the counties must have the prosperity of today's Cangcheng, it is possible? ”

"With the guarantee of his life, he will do his best to achieve this wish."

Immediately, Yang Mu asked someone to present a map, and after consulting with the ministers, four areas were demarcated.

Among them, Cangguo is called Gyeonggi itself, which is not among the county seats, and the subordinate counties are under the jurisdiction of the Cangcheng government.

In the rest of the place, Shendi and Zhengdi were merged into one and became Longxing County.

The land of Shengguo that was seized was divided into Leyuan County and Linshui County with Leyuan City and Linshui City as the county seats.

In this way, the entire Cangguo has formed three counties and one capital, divided into four complete blocks, and each county has set up a county guard, a county officer, and a county lieutenant, which is also a situation of separation of powers.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Yang Mu suddenly felt much more relaxed.

After the system was established, the rest of the work would be left to the 12 ministries and the two prime ministers, and in another month, when everything in the local area could be put into operation, his work would be much easier.

Just after the beginning of spring, Yang Mu made another private visit to Weifu, ordering the Ministry of Industry to organize the people to dig canals to irrigate the land, and at the same time promote the waterwheel drum car and threshing machine just developed by the Ministry of Science and Technology, teach them how to use and manufacture, and strive to be applied to agriculture this year.

"Your Majesty, there is a little problem on the border trade side." On this day, Qin Changfeng, the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, came to report.

"Sheng Guo is restless again?" Yang Mu frowned.

"It's not Shengguo, it's our ally of Cangguo, Dongguo." Qin Changfeng Dao.

Dong Guo ......

Yang Mu pondered, since the battle with Sheng Guo, Cangguo has proved its strength, and Dongguo has also tasted the sweetness from it, the exchanges between the two countries have been very close in the past six months, caravans are endless, and a large amount of silver money has flowed into Cangguo.

Taking this opportunity, Cangguo also purchased war horses and military supplies on a large scale, forming a very delicate cycle.

Relations between the two countries had been steadily developing, but the situation had changed since the Jin State had won a major victory in the war with the Wei State a month earlier.

It's not that there is any rift in the relationship between the two countries, but that the emperor's health is deteriorating, and now the state affairs of the cave country are handed over to the crown prince.

Dong Guo is a country canonized by the Son of Heaven, naturally follow the etiquette system, the prince did not have too much turmoil after the supervision of the country, in a short period of time, he showed the opposite side of his father, ambitious, quite a sense of distress, under the advice of a courtier, set his eyes on Sheng Guo.

To put it simply, Dong Guo has started to fight Sheng Guo's idea again.

Therefore, as early as half a month ago, Dongguo sent envoys to Cangguo to negotiate sending troops to fight together.

However, Yang Mu took into account that the results of last year's battle had not been fully digested, and although the national strength of Cangguo had improved, it had not completely risen to a level, even if it was won, it might be a miserable victory, and I am afraid that it would cause the Dongguo to turn around.

The wall is down, and everyone pushes it, and the country will face an extremely disadvantageous position.

So, he politely declined the request.

Unexpectedly, the prince of Dongguo was so eager that he began to make a fuss about border trade and test Cangguo.

If it is determined that Cangguo will not participate in the war, it is very likely that he will attack Shengguo alone.

"I'm too eager." Yang Mu muttered, and then asked, "These days, what are the movements of the Dongguo caravan in the city?" ”

"Caravan ......" Qin Changfeng hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I don't know, among the caravans that come to Cangguo now, there are relatively few caravans sent by the officials of various countries, and there are more and more private caravans, and even the caravans in Sheng Guo are mostly private caravans." ”

"So...... Stand down, I'll take care of this matter on my own. ”

Yang Mu waved his hand to let Qin Changfeng retreat, and then summoned the Jinyi Guards and asked them to check the recent movements of the Dongguo army.

At the same time, he also recruited Ge Lie, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and inquired about the construction of the various armies of Cangguo.

In the past six months, the five major legions of Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, and Qilin have all completed a great transformation.

First of all, the four major legions in front, each of which reached a full strength of 50,000 men.

Another is that after seeing the field ability and running ability of the Qilin Army, the four major legions also followed suit, and in addition to the original armor team, they also formed a cavalry unit of 3,000 people.

The cavalry units of the four legions are different from the Kirin Legion.

The fighting mode of the Qilin Legion is pure cavalry combat, facing a decisive battle of thousands of troops, with strong combat effectiveness and mobility, so that the enemy can only be played around and suppressed.

However, the cavalry units in the four major army corps mainly cooperate with the infantry, such as breaking up the phalanx, fighting in a roundabout way, and cutting off the grain route, which can be regarded as a part of a group army, obeying the dispatch of the commanders of their respective corps, and adapting to different battlefields.

The expansion of the five major legions has become the largest expenditure of the Cangguo, especially the Qilin Army, which is the most expensive to spend money and food, not only needs to raise 50,000 soldiers, but also needs a huge expenditure to raise more than 40,000 war horses, plus the cost of weapons and equipment and the purchase of war horses......

It can be said that don't look at Cangguo has made a lot of money in the past six months, but it has earned a meal for the five major legions, and if such a spending speed is placed in Sheng Country or Dong Country, I am afraid it will not be able to sustain it for a long time.

200,000 ......

Yang Mu pondered, if the Qilin Legion is excluded, such an army is already very powerful compared to half a year ago, but if he wants to have the strength to compete with the Dong Kingdom after destroying the Sheng Kingdom in one fell swoop, he is still not completely sure.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, rest."

At this time, the queen walked in, took a felt wool cloak, and put it on Yang Mu.

"You're here." Yang Mu took a deep breath, grabbed her soft hand, and said, "It's so late to come from Yuling Palace to Zichen Palace, it seems that I am not going to go back tonight." ”

Empress Shi Ran smiled: "Naturally, I miss Your Majesty." ”

"Hehe, then I'm going to have to enjoy it tonight...... Not...... I have always had a question, why has it been so long, only Concubine Nuo in the harem gave birth to the prince, but you and Miaoxi's stomachs have never moved? ”
