Lu Zhonglian coughed lightly: "Your Majesty, the minister has an understanding of the barbarians, although they are brave, but they are also afraid of power, our purpose is to not have a war with them, just be at peace with each other, and wait until the strength is strong, it is okay to destroy or surrender." ”

Ren Tian nodded, and what Lu Zhonglian said was what he thought.

Historically, the barbarians are really difficult to deal with, Zhuge Liang's seven captures and seven verticals during the Three Kingdoms period are because only Meng Shu can help govern the southern barbarians, and outsiders are not easy to make, this is called the barbarian barbarians, placed in the Ming Dynasty, this is called the Tusi system, that is, the local ethnic minorities are used to govern the ethnic minorities, but the problem is very big in the later period, and the land has to be changed.

"In that case, leave this matter to General Tian."

"Yes."

Tian Dan received the holy decree.

Ren Tian looked at Yang Yuji again: "General Yang, your performance is also very good, after you train an army, I plan to send you to the city of Guangling County to garrison and defend, are you willing?" ”

The marksman guards the city, which is too terrifying, and this is also to ensure that the road to Guangling County is not blocked.

Yang Yuji hugged his fists: "Your Majesty trusts, and the end will never give up." ”

Ren Tian raised his glass again and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, on the day of celebration, don't say anything about whether you will die or not, you are my ministers, who will fight for me when you die?" ”

The atmosphere in the hall was good, extremely harmonious, and Xie Dang took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, the county guard of Pingyuan County, you should also think about it, and Pingyuan County is extremely important, and you can't make mistakes." ”

Ren Tian pondered for a moment: "Xie Aiqing has a suitable candidate?" ”

Xie Dang shook his head: "I don't have it for the time being." ”

Ren Tian put down his wine glass: "I didn't expect that my new country is still short of talents, and I can't think of a suitable person for a while." ”

The county guard is mainly responsible for governance, and in the future, this plain county can basically be used as a livestock farm and horse breeding farm in the new country, and the breeding of war horses and the production of furs can be carried out in the plain county.

Another point is that after the war, these cities were annexed by the new country, and they were not prosperous and could not collect enough taxes, and the tax revenue of the new country could plummet in a short period of time, and it would be impossible to maintain its finances.

This also urgently needs the county guard to govern and increase prosperity.

Su Shi thought about it, and stopped talking, this scene was seen by Ren Tian, but he smiled: "This matter, let's put it aside for the time being, Xie Aiqing, what else do you have to say?" ”

Xie Dang said again: "Your Majesty, the territory of the new country is expanding, and there are too many places that need to spend money, one is that from Pingyuan County to Nanxian County, the transportation is not very convenient, so the minister suggested that the road be repaired." ”

"How much silver?"

Xie Dang thought for a while: "I don't know for the time being, but the minister estimated that it would cost at least three thousand gold." ”

Crash!

Ren Tian's hand holding the wine glass almost trembled, three thousand gold?

The funds in his treasury are now known to be more than 8,000 gold, and this is still plus the country that destroyed the entire Plains County, and looted from the treasury of the Lieguo Wan Country and some small countries, and it turned out that he would ask for 3,000 gold as soon as he opened his mouth??

Looking at the holy decree that appeared in front of him, Ren Tian also sighed, the infrastructure project is really costly.

However, this road repair is also extremely important, and Ren Tian still drafted this holy decree.

Ye Gong was originally sitting there quietly, and when he saw that Xie Dangti's request was directly agreed, he couldn't wait to say, "Your Majesty, the minister is also playing here." ”

Ren Tian glanced at Ye Gong, and his tone was not good: "Shen Aiqing, you are also looking for me for money?" Do you know that you ask me for money the most? ”

Ye Gong's face was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, this, Hejian County is indeed in urgent need of money at present." ”

"Say."

"Your Majesty, the minister observed the river on the edge of the river county, and found that if this river swelled, it would bring uncontrollable flooding, and the minister wanted to prevent it from happening and build a dike."

"Straightforwardly, how much does it cost?"

Ye Gong hesitated a little: "Your Majesty, in fact, there is not much, now there is no need to build the entire embankment along the river, only need to build the key part of the embankment first, and the money required is as long as 5,000 gold......"

Ren Tian almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood, and Ye Gong immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister has observed, the land of Hejian County is fertile, in fact, it is extremely suitable for reclamation, compared with Linchuan County and the rest of the counties, Hejian County is the most suitable as a granary, if the reclaimed land is flooded, it will outweigh the losses, and now my country's grain should not be much." ”

Zhisu Neishi Song Zhun said: "Yes, because I supported Hejian County and Linchuan East County before, and this year, Pingyuan County has also become our territory, and my country's stored grain is indeed not too much." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister can guarantee that if Hejian County is secured, the grain produced by the reclaimed farmland will be able to supply the entire new country!"

Ye Gong was categorical.

Ren Tian pondered for a moment: "Yes, but I won't be able to dial that much for a while, so let's dial three thousand taels first." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing Ye Gong's happy face, Ren Tian seemed to realize something, I'll go, Ye Gong, this kid is still playing with himself?

It is estimated that Ye Gong didn't plan to ask for so much at the beginning, but he was worried that he would not allocate funds, so he only had five thousand gold, as Lu Xun said, this house is too dark, and a window must be opened here, and everyone must not allow it, but if you advocate demolishing the roof, they will come to reconcile and be willing to open the window.

Ren Tian was really a little angry and funny, but he didn't plan to pursue it, he just looked at the treasury, and there were only more than two thousand gold left, and in the next development, those cities also need to be funded to help, and more importantly, the new country is already upgrading the scale of Nanxian County, a small and junior city, the upgrade is completed, and basically the new country can immediately rush the scale of the country to a medium-sized principality.

All in all, the money is a little insufficient.

Ren Tian thought for a while: "Lin Aiqing, how is the current expansion of the new country caravan route?" ”

Commerce is really profitable, but commerce must be traded with other countries, and the plains have been beaten down by the new country, and the territory of the new country naturally cannot be traded, and it must be expanded to the rest of the country.

Lin Xiangru clenched his fists: "Your Majesty, at present, the caravan is expanding the water trade route, and there is no new progress for the time being. ”

"Okay, give the order to go down and let the scouts investigate the surroundings, and next to Hejian County and Lin Chuandong County, they will start to probe vigorously."

"Yes."

"Shen Aiqing, you asked for money, and I gave it, but how did I do the things I told you before?"

Ye Gong didn't dare to slack off: "Your Majesty, the research and development of the ship is progressing very smoothly, and it should be developed in winter, please rest assured, Your Majesty." ”
