Within the territory of the state of Chu, the Xuzhou region, which is divided according to the new government. This area is the core area of the state of Chu, because Pengcheng is here.

After a period of buffering, all parts of the Chu State have basically "changed their flags", the original King of Chu has also been demoted to the duke, and Li Yuan has also been deposed, no one will care about them anyway. Because they are now anxious to welcome the arrival of the new King of Chu.

According to the previous division of the Chu State itself, each region established a parliament according to the taxes paid and the size of the strength, and then elected the state assembly through the local council election, and then the state council elected the governor, and the governor established the state government. At the time when Gongzi was responsible for raising funds, the state governments of various places in Chu were being organized in this way, and at the same time, they were responsible for giving them local powers, and at the same time, they also created conditions for the autonomy of various parts of the Chu State.

"What do the three orders issued by the King of New Chu last meant?" Huang Bo asked a young councillor in confusion, Huang Bo was a local nobleman, because his family was relatively weak, he only became a local councilor.

"It's for us to expand externally, not internally to annex land, and have money to spend outside." Chen Gong said. He is a state legislator in Xuzhou. So I know a little more. Naturally, they have a say in the local councillors.

"I don't know what it means?" Huang Bo asked puzzled.

"Quite simply, our slaves are free. They have all become our subordinates, but with so many troops, logically speaking, if they want to pay their salaries, the army of the king of Xinchu will give it, and we will naturally give it, otherwise our army will run to the king of Xinchu. Chen Gong said.

"And these people, joining the army is not free for nothing, they have to give us five to ten years to work, what are these times for?" Chen Gong said.

"Naturally, it is an external expansion. We occupy an area, such as your county, if there is such a large place, half of the county is yours, the other half is the state, the resources, the population, the land, are all yours, and these armies are doing this. Chen Gong explained.

"Oh, if you occupy such a big land as Xuzhou, or as big as Chu State, wouldn't it." Huang Bo was speechless in surprise, and Chen Gong was already staring at him sternly. Don't they know the truth in this? Naturally, they know. If they occupy a place as big as Xuzhou, they can naturally become the governor of Xuzhou, and if they occupy a Chu country, they will naturally be a new king, don't they know such a situation? Know, of course, they know about it.

"However, if we want to develop at present, we must have a navy, and the new government has announced that we will be allowed to set up a large number of naval forces, but we do not have many navies here, and the ships are all offshore ships, how can such ships transport a large number of troops to the south. Obviously this is not possible. Chen Gong said worriedly. Most of the state legislators are very worried about this matter, because there is sea in the Xuzhou area, but they are all small-scale sea vessels, and these sea ships are obviously still quite far from the navy. And without sea vessels, they would not be able to expand.

"We can't compare with those nobles in the south, they naturally have warships, as long as they are reorganized, they can become a navy, they can expand, but we don't have these ships, we can't let us use these fishing boats to expand, it's very unfavorable to us." Chen Gong said distressedly.

State legislators and local councilors are such an important opportunity, in the future, if anyone occupies a large area of overseas land, who can expand their strength, for the nobles of the Chu State who rank in strength, it is a good opportunity to break the current position.

"This. Don't know, I have a great idea. The hesitant Huang Bo, who was struggling on the sidelines, had a bold idea.

"Maybe your solution will work." Chen Gong asked.

"Hmm. I'll just say it. Huang Bo hesitated.

"Let's talk about it." Chen Gong waved his arms and said.

"It's very simple, it's to recruit those pirates, water pirates for our naval force." Huang Bo said.

"What?" Hearing this, Chen Gong almost jumped up. How could such a person cooperate, none of these pirates in him was a good person.

"Forget it. Go on. At this time, Chen Gong waved his hand helplessly.

"I think like this, we don't know water, even recruiting sailors takes time, training, and it costs a lot of money, and we have to build ships, and when we are all ready. The nobility of the south already occupied large tracts of land. This is extremely bad for us. Huang Bochen said.

"Moreover, it costs a lot of money to do these things, and without this money, we simply don't come, and for us, it's another investment, and we have to pay taxes, and we don't have this money." Huang Bo said.

"And recruiting those pirates, water pirates, can solve a lot of our problems, we can not be trained, they have ships, as long as we arm them." Huang Bo said.

"Can those pirates be trusted?" Chen Gong asked directly.

"Trustworthy, the life of pirates is not easy now, and there are fewer ships robbed in trade. Naturally, they are not happy, and they can't do business, and now that the new government intends to expand, they naturally don't want to dwell on such people. The most important thing is that they also want to have a good birth, have a backer, and it is also better, and for them, there is no loss. Huang Bo said.

"Hmm. What you say seems to make a lot of sense. Chen Gong nodded and said. In fact, what Huang Bo said had already touched his heart. As Huang Bo said, after they invested in this, the nobles of the south had already participated in the expansion. They end up with nothing. And in a short period of time, it is impossible for these sailors to form combat effectiveness, so it is extremely disadvantageous to them, the three orders are fair to everyone, but in reality it is not, because many conditions cannot be met, in this case, they have to think of other ways to do it, what is this method, of course, to recruit sailors, or directly convert those pirates into regular army. This is the only fastest way.

"Just do this, although there are some worries, but we can effectively control them." Chen Gong thought for a while and said.

"Yes, yes." Huang Bo nodded happily. Announcement: Biquge APP is online, supporting Android and Apple. Please pay attention to the WeChat public account to enter the download and installation: appxsyd (press and hold for three seconds to copy)
