"Okay, let's talk about disarmament later, do you have anything else to report now?" Xiao Chen said.

"King Qiyu, now the grain and grass in our country can meet the food of the people in the country, but the problem of land is still very troublesome!" Xun Yu walked out of the civil official column and said.

Xiao Chen was confused and asked, "Wen Ruo, didn't you just take over the extensive land in Jiangzhou?" Coupled with the previous three places of Buni County, Sanguan County, and Linhai County, the territory has more than doubled, is the land not enough? ”

Xun Yu smiled bitterly and said, "King, the land is enough. Weichen, the land of the three counties, has already arranged for more than 20 million people to live, plus the original 30 million people in the six counties, Jiangzhou alone is enough to arrange the remaining more than 30 million people. However, up to now, only 15 million people have migrated to the three counties, and Jiangzhou has just relocated more than 6 million people. This is still because the people who moved away are close to the land of the three counties and Jiangzhou, and it will be even more troublesome if they want to relocate. The original six counties are okay to say, although the road is not very wide, it is not narrow, and the dense road does not take much time. The only trouble is that out of the six counties, on top of new territories such as Jiangzhou, there are no very good roads at all. Not to mention the narrowness of the roads, there are very few. The area around the city is quite dense, and some of the more remote places don't make sense at all. ”

Xun Yu said this, and Xiao Chen also understood what was going on. So he said, "Is there any good way now?" ”

"Wechen plans to build roads while moving people!"

"Oh? Let's go into details! ”

"No!" Xun Yu bowed and continued: "Weichen's plan is for us to organize people to relocate the people, and call on the immigrants to build roads while walking, and build roads wherever they go!" ”

Xiao Chen frowned and said, "I'm afraid this plan is a bit difficult!" In order for immigrants to move and repair at the same time, there must be a large immigration base. Otherwise, God knows how long it will take! “

"That's right, the king is getting to the point. Therefore, Weichen plans to immigrate 30 million at a time. Among them, 5 million people were relocated from Fengdu County, divided into two routes, one to Beichen County first, and the other to Tachi County. Along the way, 5 million people relocated to expand the roads as they went, and at the same time mobilized 100,000 troops to help take care of them along the way. The roads in the Six Counties were already very good, so they only needed to expand them simply. After arriving in Beichen County and Zhong County, 2.5 million people from Beichen County will be dispatched to the three northern counties together with the immigrants from Fengdu County. Along the way, we have to build roads vigorously, not to mention how difficult it is, but it is by no means easy. Zhongjun also dispatched 2.5 million immigrants to the Jiangzhou area with people from Fengdu County. “

"Wait, Wen Ruo, I see what you mean. I have an idea now, let's consult! Before Xun Yu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Chen. However, Xun Yu also had an idea in his heart when he heard that his king, and there was a hint of joy on his face.

"Come on, take the sand table!"

"No!"

Soon, a very large sand table appeared in the main hall. This is not a complete sand table, but a combination of many small sand tables.

"Look, everyone!" Xiao Chen was carrying a thin wooden stick in his hand, and his surroundings were already surrounded by court ministers.

"Five million immigrants from Fengdu County, as the prime minister said, came to Beichen County and Zhongjun respectively. Then he immigrated five million from Beichen County, and all the way to meet the people from Fengdu County to go north, and all the way to Lu County. Then he moved five million people from Lu County, met the immigrants from Beichen County all the way, and went north into Yun County. The other road is to the northeast of the central county. After entering Tachi County, another group of immigrants from Fengdu County transferred five million immigrants from Tachi County to the north of Yunjun. In the end, another 5 million immigrants were transferred from Yunjun County to enter Jiangzhou. In this way, 30 million is enough. In addition, before all the immigrants set out, a road must be re-detected by the localities, and this road must meet the requirements of accommodating sixteen carriages to become a galloping road! “

"Xiuchi Road?" Xun Yu exclaimed.

Xun Yu was taken aback by Xiao Chen's last sentence, this road is completely different from the ordinary road. Chidao is the most important road in a country, and it is different from the dense road network in China. Chi road is an ultra-long-distance road, and all the way to the city, what turns, forks, etc. are the least requirement, can not then there is no best. It is not as dense as many road networks in China, and the twists and turns are the same as the Quartet.

The most famous gallop road in history is the gallop road built by Qin Shi Huang, a gallop road from Xianyang to Jiuyuan, which is longer than the distance from Fengdu County of Beichen Kingdom to the northernmost city. However, as soon as the road was passed, Daqin's Northern Army came directly to Xianyang in less than a month. This is still infantry, if it is cavalry, it will not take three or five days. That is to say, if the Beichen Kingdom builds a galloping road from Fengdu County to Jiangzhou, the army can reach Jiangzhou in only one month, and the military benefits are very great.

Of course, it is also very difficult to build a gallop road, and the amount of manpower and material resources consumed is definitely not as simple as it is said. In particular, the gallop road to be built by the king of his own family is not far from the width of the gallop road built by Qin Shi Huang. It can accommodate sixteen carriages, and it has to be fifty meters wide.

"King, I'm afraid we won't be able to bear it in China!" Xun Yu said worriedly.

"Why can't you bear it, the First Emperor was able to complete the construction of the galloping road across the country with millions of people, can't the 30 million immigrants of our Beichen Kingdom plus the people along the way not be able to complete it?" Xiao Chen looked at the sand table in the territory of Beichen Kingdom and said softly.

Hearing Xiao Chen say this, Xun Yu also felt a little confident. Yes, what the First Emperor can accomplish with millions of people, if Beichen Kingdom can't accomplish it with tens of millions of people, then he might as well go home early and pick up the child. Among the 30 million immigrants, six or seven million are strong men. And along the way, as long as the court is called, there will be more than 10 million strong men in various places. As for the food and grass needed, it is not a problem. Even if these people are normal immigrants, they still want the imperial court to provide food, so it is better to give them food and let them help cultivate the road. It's certainly a lot of time, but it's good for the whole country.

You don't have to worry about the rest of the supplies, especially wood, stone and iron. Having occupied a vast area, the resources that can be obtained each year are far beyond the resources consumed. In addition, the current Xipingguan fortress group, Tianlong fortress, and coastal fortress are almost completed, and the domestic resources can almost be supplied to build Chidao.

"The king is wise, such a gallop is of great benefit to both the army and the people!" Xun Yu said with sincere praise.

"Haha, that's right, my plan is to use the gallop to increase the speed of the march of the domestic army. At the same time, merchants and ordinary people can also walk on the gallop road. However, we can use some road fees and road fares to collect some benefits and increase our finances! Xiao Chen said with a smile, that's right, the game version of the highway. Actually, the Chidao thing is completely a highway.

"Hmm~" Xun Yu was stunned, obviously thundered by Xiao Chen's words. Then I thought about it and realized that it was really the case. If the people want to take the distance in the country, it is definitely more convenient to take the road than the rest of the road. Because there are not so many bends in the gallop, it is not easy to get lost. In ancient times, it was very difficult for people to run farther, and the most important thing was that there were too many roads and it was easy to get lost. Not to mention businessmen, with the artifact of Chidao, the cost of a truckload of goods can be reduced by more than half. And it's faster, so you can run many times a year.

"The king is really a god, but Weichen has another suggestion. We can spread along the gallop to the rest of the country, and build some small gallop roads to the city. In addition, put more signs on the gallop road, so that the people do not get lost! Xun Yu said happily.

Xiao Chen was also surprised, damn, this Xun Yu has sorted out the main parts of the highway, amazing. "That's right, just like Wen Ruo said. In this way, although we have some troubles, we can benefit countless future generations! “

"Besides, what Wen Ruo said is also a bit troublesome. Now that all the roads between the cities have been completed in our country, it is enough to link the gallop road and the cities along the road. As for street signs, we can put them all over the country. Xiao Chen continued.

"Well, what the king said is reasonable, this can save a lot of manpower and material resources!"

"In this case, the matter of galloping and the matter of relocation are thus decided! Plus, we need to build another army! ”

"O king, now that our government is in difficulty, if we increase the army, the finances will not be able to support it!" Xun Yu said.

Xiao Chen laughed and said, "Wen Ruo is too worried, this king is planning to form a road protection army. The main task of this road guard is to protect the passage of the road, to eradicate bandits around the road, and to repair the road, and they do not carry out war tasks. The personnel are composed of retired officers and soldiers, so that the subsequent dismissal of soldiers can also be properly arranged! ”

Xun Yu thought for a while and said, "What is the salary of the road guard?" ”

"It's not much, it's the same as the Ministry of War, and it's tentatively set at one-fifth of the regular army's salary!"

"The king is wise!"

"My king is wise, long live my king, long live, long live!" The ministers in the hall shouted in unison.

"Okay, everyone Aiqing!"

"King Xie!"

"Wen Ruo, tell me about all the domestic affairs now. I haven't been in the country for more than a year, and I don't know much about some domestic matters! Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"No!" Xun Yu responded and continued: "King Qiyu, at present, our country is gradually recovering, if there is no war this year, it will reach the stable level of two years ago at the end of the year. Now the most important thing is the matter of relocation, as long as the relocation of the people is completed, our country will definitely develop rapidly, and it will be richer than before the war. The pressure on food is gone, and as long as the fields are harvested in the last season of this year, the food needs of the relocated people can be guaranteed. There should be a lot of surplus in the next season's grain harvest, and in a few years, the Zhenguo warehouse can also be filled again. “

"On the fiscal side, the annual tax revenue has increased by 1 million taels of silver compared with the four years of Fenghuo, reaching 6,300,000 taels of silver. If half of the army were to be cut off, the annual salary would be reduced from eight million taels of silver for the year to four million taels of silver. Within the national treasury, more money can be saved, which can be used on top of domestic economic development. Although the tax revenue this year has reached 6.3 million taels of silver, the treasury is still short of more than 4 million taels of silver. “

"The land tax has risen to 800,000 taels of silver this year, the commercial tax is as high as more than 3 million taels of silver, and the salt tax has also reached 2.5 million taels of silver. As long as he cultivates this year, it is expected that next year's tax revenue will reach eight million taels of silver. Removing the four million taels of silver from the army and the salaries of the court officials, the remaining three and a half million taels of silver is not a problem. After the completion of various infrastructure facilities in the country, the money used to operate in various places will be up to two million taels of silver. In this way, there is still 1.5 million silver left, which is more than 1 million taels more than the remaining silver of the three years of Beacon Fire! “

Xiao Chen frowned and said, "How can there be so many left, since there are so many left, why don't you use it." Only when the money is used and used on the people of the world can our Beichen Kingdom last for a long time. Spend all the excess money, and leave 500,000 taels in the treasury is enough. “

Eh, Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, feeling that what his king said seemed to be still reasonable, so he responded: "No! “

"Well, go ahead, what's more!"

"There's nothing left on the finances, and there's nothing left for the rest of the ministries. In the first half of this year, there were obviously many more offenders in China, and more than 350 people were beheaded alone. It is more than double the total number of beheadings in the three years and four years of the Beacon Fire, presumably because of the previous food crisis. But now that the war has stopped, I think the number will definitely drop in the second half of the year. And the Ministry of Rites came with some people, including our Han Chinese, and many foreigners. If the king had time, he could meet with these foreign envoys in person. In addition, everything in the country is prosperous! ”

Xiao Chen thought for a moment and said, "Well, tomorrow the Ministry of Rites will send a few people to talk to those foreign envoys." If there is something important, report it to me, and some small things will be done by yourself in the Ministry of Rites! ”

"No!" The Minister of Rites immediately responded.

"Alright, retreat!" Xiao Chen understood what he wanted to know, so he naturally had to retreat impatiently. There are three little daughters-in-law waiting for me in the backyard, by the way, where did the girl Ziqing who came back with her gone. Alas~ Trouble!

"Retreat~!" Xiao Dezi duck screamed.

The ministers in the palace immediately shouted: "Congratulations to my king, long live my king, long live long live!" ”
