107. Reposition, continue to develop

As Nanzhao took the initiative to repair the book and make friends, Chen Guo took the initiative to abandon Yunzhou and retreat, and the Far East finally returned to peace.

This time, after several successive wars on the Far Eastern continent, Dongshui finally established its position.

took Yunzhou from Chen Guo and Tianzhou from Nanzhao, and Chen Guo and Nanzhao had to tolerate and ignore this.

This Far Eastern War affected the neighboring countries, whether it was Nanzhao or Chen, or the countries to the west, or even the countries further west.

Liu Yeyun, the general of Nanzhao Zhenguo, died unexplained on the battlefield, and the ghost operator of the Western Chu general was also forced to flee for his life, and the four-nation alliance army was crushed in the iron lumps and fire-breathing iron cylinders airdropped by the East Water. Everyone is talking about the results, but they are more concerned about the weapons used by Dongsui, and it is really unbelievable that Shikoku can be defeated in a small place.

All kinds of rumors about Dongshui's weapons have been spreading, all in all, Dongshui has shown its potential and heritage through these wars.

Chen Chen sat in the capital of Shengzhou and looked at the current territory, feeling a little uneasy, originally only occupied the Dongshui Peninsula and islands, but now the territory has almost quadrupled.

In terms of regional construction, Dongshui Shengzhou has been at the forefront as an economic center and an industrial center respectively, but Yunzhou and Tianzhou are extremely backward.

The Yunzhou area is mostly forested, the timber is more abundant and diverse, and the Tianzhou area has more water areas and better fish resources, if the Dongshui is to be further stabilized, then these two areas must be peaceful.

Although these two regions are not very plastic, Yunzhou and Tianzhou are the gateways to the east and west and south, respectively, and the geographical location is really important, so naturally these two regions cannot be left out in the cold.

The people of the two states are very happy and joyful to be able to join Dongshui, for them, whoever gives them money and a stable life, then they will go with whom.

A few days ago, the people may still have concerns about Dongshui's actions, but with the rise of Shengzhou and the improvement of the living standards of the people there, the people in the surrounding areas have eliminated their doubts about Dongshui, and even wish they were also Dongshui people.

Therefore, when the Dongshui army entered the city, Yunzhou and Tianzhou did not resist much and directly welcomed the army into the door.

After the people and horses sent to deal with the matter, they all returned to Shengzhou, and in the hall of the capital of Shengzhou, Chen Chen held a meeting, and the civil and military officials stood on both sides.

The court pattern of Dongshui was also reshuffled after this war. The three giants of civil officials are still Shangguan Yu, Wu Kexin and Qin Ruhai are the core, and the military attache this time is Chen Cheng, Wei Commander and Yang Cheng as the first assistants.

In this war, the major merchants were active and enthusiastic, and they all supported the imperial court with one heart, so Chen Chen made an exception to open the Dongshui Chamber of Commerce, the chairman of which was served by Chen Biao, the king of Xiaoyao, and the officials of the chamber of commerce were all the children of merchants.

In the past, they were only allowed to hold a fictitious position, but after this time, Chen Chen made an exception to give them enough power, and also authorized the children of merchants to enter the imperial court, specifically responsible for the development of the Dongshui commercial road, and completely separated commerce and politics.

The major merchants are naturally ecstatic about this, this is full of power, so some big families directly enter the Dongshui Imperial Court as officials by the patriarch or patriarch, such as the four major merchants in the imperial capital are all from the leaders of the business to the imperial court to serve as officials.

People in other countries were shocked when they heard about Dongshui's reforms, because in this era, women and merchants were not allowed to participate in politics, and military attachés were not allowed to participate in politics.

But Dongshui broke all this, and merchants, women and military attachés all entered the court to meet the prince to participate in national affairs, which really caused a sensation in the surrounding area.

"Guys, what do you think of this war? Now that Yunzhou and Tianzhou have joined the territory, how do these two regions develop? Chen Chen looked up at the crowd, hoping to hear their opinions.

Shangguan Yu got up and gave up his hand, as the prime minister, he naturally had to do something: "Lord Qiyu, the minister thinks that the pattern of Dongshui and Shengzhou has been finalized, and there is nothing to make a name for itself, we can concentrate our strength on the two states and islands." ”

Chen Chen nodded and smiled: "The prime minister's words are reasonable, and this king also plans to do so." ”

Qin Ruhai stepped forward and said: "Lord, the laws cannot be forgotten, the minister thinks that now that the territory is expanding, then some laws also need to be revised." ”

Chen Chen's face was happy, this Lord Qin is really not to be underestimated, he actually has such a clever vision, and there are many civil disputes caused by the expansion of the territory, so this law naturally has to be perfected.

I wanted to meet Lord Qin and talk about this matter, but I didn't expect him to take the initiative to bring it up, Chen Chen laughed: "It's rare that Lord Qin has such an awareness, you, as the highest judicial officer of Dongshui, naturally have the right to make changes, so you just have to do this matter." ”

Without waiting for Lord Qin to retreat, Wu Kexin hurriedly started: "Lord Wang, education can't be left behind, now there are many nationalities, and various ethnic groups are mixed, this official language and official academic must be determined, otherwise it will cause a big mess, the minister plans to set up patriotic education and enlightenment education to further ensure that the people and students are concerned about Dongshui." ”

Chen Chen was even more surprised at this time, and he didn't expect that Lord Wu would still have such an idea, this is too important, as Lord Wu said, there are more people who have more right and wrong, and there are smiling faces everywhere, so this thought and culture cannot be left behind.

It seems that they have managed too much and buried their talents, and now they can do it, and they can rest well.

"Okay, it is worthy of our three giants of Dongshui, with the three of you here, Dongshui will naturally be stable." Chen Chen vigorously rewarded him, and he was relieved.

The eyes of the people below looked at Shangguan Yu and the three of them were extremely jealous, they used to think that the three giants were always intriguing and had little ability, but today they saw it, but they were extremely shocked, this is simply three people, especially good at observing words and feelings, and if it falls into their hands in the future, I am afraid that life will not be easy!

Chen Chen is also full of joy about this, there must be checks and balances, one family is not spring, a hundred schools of thought are spring!

Commander Wei spoke on behalf of the military attache about the construction of the army, ready to expand the army again, hoping to increase the military strength, Chen Chen naturally has no opinion on this, from his heart, he also attaches great importance to the armed forces, in his heart, the center of all work is the army, the army is strong, the waist is hard, what are you afraid of?

"Lord, what is the prince going to do about the construction of the two states?" Shangguan Yu and everyone looked at each other and asked softly.

"Yunzhou has high terrain and rich forest resources, so let Yunzhou rely on wood to develop, and then produce wood crafts such as tables and chairs, which can be supplied to Dongshui and can be directly sold to other countries. Chen Chen's eyes swept over the members of the Chamber of Commerce, stretched out his hand to look at the names of the major merchants, picked up the brush and sketched out the names of several merchants, and then handed the list to the prime minister.

"The timber business of these merchants is doing well, and some of the handicrafts are also good, in this case, Prime Minister, you will take them to Yunzhou to develop, by the way, everyone must remember that we must be sustainable, we must not cut down all the trees, we must stipulate the number and limit of cutting trees, once the trees are cut down more, it will kill people, and the mudslide landslide is very fatal. By the way, the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Industry will also follow at that time, you have to start the construction of Yunzhou as soon as possible, and everything will be taken care of by the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Industry and the Chamber of Commerce. ”

The construction of Yunzhou is not worth Chen Chen to worry about, and there is nothing to worry about, I believe that the leader of the Ministry of Industry has been with him for so long, and he should do a good job.

Prime Minister Shangguan Yu nodded and agreed, and then went down to take people to Yunzhou.

"Commander Wei, you and Chen Cheng will also go to Yunzhou, take the best craftsmen, and immediately rely on the terrain to build the Yunzhou moat." Chen Chen thought about it, and gave the two of them the matter of building the moat.

Originally, he planned to go there himself, but Tianzhou needed to go by himself, so he had to send two people there.

The two of them also went down under the order.

Chen Chen turned around and said to Qin Ruhai and Wu Kexin: "You two can stay in Shengzhou, make iron tools, steel and cannons and the like for the time being, and wait for the king to make a decision." ”

The natural environment of Shengzhou is also a little worse, so Chen Chen also re-planned the development of Shengzhou, except for cement, stone and iron, which need to continue to develop, all other things are stopped.

"The road construction in our country must not be stopped, and the road repair project continues, Master Li Chuanwen, do you remember?" Chen Chen suddenly remembered to build the road, and hurriedly instructed Li Chuanwen that building the road is a big deal, and this must not be stopped.

Lord Li hurriedly reported: "Don't worry, the road repair has not stopped for a moment, most of Dongshui and Shengzhou have covered cement roads, and the road exploration in Yunzhou and Tianzhou, the minister has already sent people to do it, and it won't be long before the roads between the four states will be unblocked." ”

"Okay, well, Lord Li seems to be very insightful, and this king is deeply grateful." Chen Chen praised and was full of joy.

After carefully planning and arranging the affairs of Shengzhou, Chen Chen and Yang Cheng rushed to Tianzhou.

Taking Yang Cheng to Tianzhou this time, Chen Chen was also thoughtful. Commander Wei, Chen Cheng has been with him many times and is very familiar with each other, but Yang Cheng is not very familiar with him, so this time he acted alone with him, Chen Chen really wanted to take this opportunity to see his ability and resourcefulness.
