Chapter Seventy-Three: Building a New City (Part 1)

(Ask the brothers to refuel and kill the strongest druid on the fourth floor of the rookie list, the difference in points is not much, if the druid's chrysanthemum is exploded, it will continue to explode today!!) )

"En" saw Xun Yu's gaze, Liu Tai nodded, Liu Tai's heart was also shocked by the current population of Jixian County, I don't want Jixian County alone to have a population of more than 1.5 million, today's era is not like the future generations are full of high-rise buildings, a place of more than 1,000 square meters, can live hundreds or even thousands of people, under Liu Tai's rule, the general family of three covers an area of about 200 to 300 square meters, although Jixian County is the military and political center of the two states, but there are not so many places for the people to live, Even if Luoyang, the capital of the imperial court today, is full of more than a million people.

"It seems that the expansion of Jixian County should be carried out as soon as possible, but now that the financial resources of the two states can ensure that Jixian County will not suffer major losses after the expansion?" After thinking about it for a while, Liu Tai glanced at the officials present, and saw that the officials were also shocking the population of the two states, and said loudly.

Xun Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "The lord doesn't know, since the displaced people have been properly arranged, the finances of the two states have been much looser now, unless the lord has recruited an army of more than one million to fight abroad, it is still more than enough to expand Jixian alone." ”

"Oh, since it won't cost the people and money, then let Wen Ruo handle it, of course, the main materials for building the city are mainly cement and hard stone, don't deliberately strengthen the city wall, there is no need for that, if it is really beaten by the enemy army to the city of Jixian County, no matter how strong the city wall is, it is meaningless." Liu Tai saw that he would not work for the people and lose money, so he nodded and agreed, even the most picky Tian Feng did not have the slightest opinion, after all, the population of Jixian County is too much, and the difficulty of management is too great.

"Hey, it would be nice if the Mo family helped, the main craftsmen and designers who built the city are almost very lacking, and now there is no one in charge of the Ministry of Labor, hey..."Liu Tai sighed deeply, and said lightly at the corner of his mouth.

"The lord doesn't need to worry, the expansion of the city, even if it starts now, it will take more than half a year to wait for all the high-quality stones to be quarried, and the old city wall will also be pushed to, in a short time, it is impossible to start construction, I think Mr. Ma Jun should return to Jixian County by then." Xun Yu on the side thought for a while, then bowed down and said to Liu Tai.

"Yes, I hope so." Liu Tai nodded, he didn't stop Ma Jun's departure at the beginning, Liu Tai regretted it very much, he knew that now the embarrassing situation of the Ministry of Industry in Erzhou, how could he not let Ma Jun leave, Ma Jun is also powerful, he left for more than half a year, and there was no news at all.

"Oh, by the way, what is the situation in Liaodong now? Is the evidence of the Gongsun family's crimes collected enough? Liu Tai suddenly remembered that the three counties of Liaodong had not yet been returned to his rule, and he couldn't help but feel irritated in his heart, and asked out loud with anger on his face.

"Lord Qiqi, Liaodong is under the control of the Gongsun family, almost like a monolith, in a short period of time, there is no way to shake its ruling power, unless Gongsun Du himself makes a faint move, or the imperial court newly orders Liaodong to be too guarded, otherwise we have no chance to take advantage of it." Guo Jia, who was in charge of collecting intelligence, said helplessly, even if he was as smart as Guo Jia, he had no way to deal with Gongsun Du in the past six months, and he hated Guo Jia all the time.

"Damn!!" Liu Tai's eyes flashed with anger, the three counties of Liaodong and a subject country are important bases for Liu Tai's later expedition to the east of Sanhan, Goguryeo and other countries, and it is also the springboard for the expedition of the future, and now it is occupied by Gongsun Du, supporting troops in Liaodong and respecting himself, ignoring Liu Tai's order, Liu Tai is eager to eat his flesh and eat his bones!

"Why doesn't the lord transfer Gongsun Du out of the hands of eunuchs?" Xi Zhicai, who was on the side, suddenly said something that shocked everyone present speechlessly.

"Huh?" Liu Tai heard Xi Zhicai's words, his brows furrowed deeply, and he didn't answer directly, but thought about it, and saw that the officials present all looked disapproving, and shook his head helplessly and said: "If you take the eunuch, you will eventually end up with tongues, this plan is not appropriate." ”

Tian Feng on the side also nodded after Liu Tai's words and said: "The minister also thinks it is inappropriate, but now the Gongsun Du who has seized Liaodong is a big trouble for the lord, and he has to get rid of it. ”

"Hey... It's not proper, the lord has played the Son of Heaven many times, but Gongsun Du has been safe and sound in Liaodong, it can be seen that Gongsun Du is very likely, it is a chess piece for the Son of Heaven to balance the lord, if the lord plays the Son of Heaven again, it may cause the Son of Heaven to be dissatisfied with the lord, and then the gains outweigh the losses. Xi Zhicai shook his head and said disapprovingly.

Xun Yu saw that Xi Zhicai was arguing with Tian Feng, took a step forward, bowed slightly to Liu Tai and said: "The minister has a strategy, which can determine the political situation in Liaodong!" ”

"Oh??" Liu Tai looked overjoyed, and immediately stood up and said, "If Wen Ruo has a plan, why don't you report it early, Wen Ruo said it directly." ”

Xun Yu nodded, and then after thinking about it for a while, he said out loud: "Actually, it is not difficult to determine Liaodong, after all, the four counties of Liaodong are all bitter cold lands, and most of the fertile land is under the control of the Gongsun family. ”

"Well, Lord Xun is right, Liaodong is sparsely populated, if the lord hypes up the good governance of Youzhou, the people will definitely flock here, but I have to consider whether Gongsun Du will send troops to guard the entrances in and out of Liaoxi, if the people are stopped by Gongsun Du in Liaodong Shu Kingdom and are not allowed to enter the rule of the lord, everything is empty talk." Guan Ning, who has always rarely spoken at official gatherings, said indifferently, Guan Ning can be outstanding, Liu Tai can be said to have tried his best, with the help of Liu Zheng, Liu Tai spent a month in a row, soft grinding hard soaking Guan Ning, Guan Ning finally couldn't stand Liu Tai and took up the professorship of Beijiang University.

Then it was logical that Guan Ning was pulled into the core of political power in the two states by Liu Tai, and was appointed by Liu Tai as the squire of the Ministry of Officials, the Minister of the Military Aircraft Department, and assisted Xun You in handling the appointment of officials, but most of the time, Guan Ning stayed in Beijiang University to teach students, and his prestige among the scholars was very high.

Originally, some time ago, the dragon-bellied Bingyuan, who had been traveling for a long time, also returned to Liaodong, but he was not driven down by Liu Tai, Bingyuan saw Guan Ning, sighed at the changes in the two states, and left again, fortunately, Liu Tai was affirmed by Guan Ning, and if Bingyuan was interested in going out, he would definitely choose the two states.

"Gongsun Du has always been as timid as a mouse? Does he have the guts? Liu Tai's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Guan Ning suspiciously and asked.

Guan Ning nodded and said: "In the early stage, with the talent of the strategists under the command of Gongsun Du, he will definitely not be able to detect the temptation of the lord's policy towards the people of Liaodong, and after a large number of people leave the counties of Liaodong and enter the rule of the lord, Gongsun Du will definitely send a large army to block it, but after all, a large number of people can be brought under the rule of the lord, and it should still be useful." ”

Liu Tai nodded, naturally he would not think that Gongsun Du was a complete idiot, and watched all the people under his rule leave the three counties and a subject country in Liaodong and become a bare-bones commander, after thinking about it, he said to Guan Ning loudly: "Youping and Muzhi (Liu Zheng), when you stay in Liaodong for a long time, this matter will be handled by the two of you, with Muzhi's prestige in the three counties and a subject country in Liaodong, it will definitely attract a large number of people to vote." ”

"The minister Guan Ning (Liu Zheng) received the order." Liu Zheng and Guan Ning took a step forward at the same time, bowed to Liu Tai and said.

Not long after, after Xun Yu reported many matters about the civil production of Erzhou, Liu Tai ordered the meeting to be dismissed, and the hundred officials returned home, waiting for Liu Tai's call, but in a short time, the generals and ministers will be in Jixian for a period of time, after all, everyone's family is small, they have stayed in Jixian County, and they have not seen each other for a long time, so they naturally miss it very much.

Originally, Liu Tai didn't want to leave the families of many courtiers in Jixian County, after all, there is no doubt about employing people, don't you need to use suspicious people, this truth, even the very suspicious Cao Ying is clear, let alone Liu Tai?

But led by Tian Feng, he insisted that the officials' families must stay in Jixian County, otherwise what if the officials in power became ambitious and supported the army to respect themselves? Of course, this possibility is very small, with Liu Tai's prestige in Erzhou, even if Huang Zhong supports the army and respects himself, it is impossible to divide the territory and annex the north, let alone those civilian officials who are not allowed to hold military power? But Liu Tai saw that the ministers were resolute, so he had no choice but to agree.
