Chapter 252 Under the Governance of Chen Palace
Anyway, I am not in a hurry to decide which camp to join next year, and in the next time, Ye Teng, Guo Jia, and Chen Gong will naturally start chatting mode.
Of course, the so-called small talk is not separated from the government affairs of the forces of Tianma City.
Since Chen Gong joined, all the government affairs of the forces in Tianma City have basically relied on him, the chief steward, to take charge and take the helm, and Ye Teng rarely cares.
Today, I took this opportunity to learn from Chen Gong about the development of the territory:
"Seeing that the year is coming to an end and the end of the year is approaching, taking advantage of today's leisure, can the public talk about the development of our party in the past year?"
"It's okay, I should have reported to my lord a long time ago, but you were too busy to find a chance.
Overall, we have been doing better than expected this year. There are three main reasons: first, we have eliminated and expelled all the corrupt officials under the control of the family, firmly controlled the governance of Yanmen in our own hands, and eliminated the biggest drag on the factor;
And won the battle of the family's counterattack, since then, the family's action against us can only rely on the bandits in the field, although it also caused a certain amount of trouble, but it was quickly extinguished, but it accelerated the process of our banditry;
Second, the lord's job search order has fundamentally solved the dilemma of talents, and there are still people looking for jobs one after another. Coupled with the talents brought back from Luoyang by the lord this time, the current officials and talents in Yanmen County, Tianma City, and Zhenbei City can be said to have basically been solved and reached a full state! Of course, if you have to govern Changshan Country next year, the gap is still not small.
Third, the entry of the Zhen family greatly promoted the prosperity of the territory and fundamentally solved the depression of Yanmen County. In terms of commercial prosperity alone, Yanmen County is now in the best period in history.
Once, Yanbei County was located in the borderland, there were nomads all the year round, bandits were everywhere outside the city, and business travel was regarded as a daunting way, so the market was depressed all year round.
Nowadays, the prestige of the lord in China is rising, if there is a chance, the lord can visit a few more wealthy businessmen, such as the Mi family and the Chen family in Xuzhou, the Kuai family and the Cai family in Jingzhou, the Lu family and the Quan family in Yangzhou, and Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, who are in Zhongshan with the Zhen family, as long as there are a few more, then I can expect prosperity under the rule of Tianma City! ”
Speaking of this, Chen Gong paused, saw Ye Teng nodded thoughtfully, and continued to report:
"After more than a year of unremitting suppression of bandits, Yanmen County has barely achieved self-sufficiency in food this year, and the food gap is much smaller than we estimated.
This year's military rations mainly rely on Tianma City, because Tianma City has achieved a bumper harvest of grain. However, the food demand of the new population and the previous business travelers actually relied on the business travelers led by the Zhen family to put a large amount of food on the market. So, our food is still a little tight.
But I believe that there will be a big change next year.
In terms of population, there has been a significant increase! Not only has Yanmen County itself increased its population by millions, but it has also sent a lot to Tianma City and Zhenbei City.
Now the population of Yanmen County has reached 56 million, the population of Tianma City has reached more than 6 million, and the population of Zhenbei City has also reached more than 1 million.
In terms of talents, the overall has been able to meet the needs of the administration, but as long as the pace of expansion does not stop, we will always be short of people! Although under the guidance of the lord, we have also vigorously promoted education and established our own talent training system, but after all, far water cannot quench the thirst of the near, and we have to rely on foreign introductions in the short term.
In terms of economy, over the past year, the lord has invested more than 20 million gold in the Tianma City system, and it can be said that the investment in one county alone is definitely second to none in the whole of China, but we are still short of money!
The main reason is that too much is invested in the military. The more than 10 million gold I took from the lord was taken away by Chen Xi's little girl, and the talents cultivated with these pills basically flowed to the military, so they can only be regarded as military funds.
And Yanmen County is in ruins, city walls, roads, water conservancy, displaced people, etc., everywhere needs money! Therefore, I have always been very tight on my money, and not long ago I had to rescue Yu Zhen Jiming and ask him to borrow 1 million gold from the Zhen family to barely get through the difficulties. ”
When Chen Gong said this, he looked at Ye Teng expectantly.
Helpless, Ye Teng had to answer boldly: "Don't look at me, I'll inject you 5 million gold later." "I lamented in my heart, the money I robbed from Luoyang was going to be gone again in a blink of an eye, and I just invested 10 million yuan in the Zhenbei Army......
Seeing Ye Teng's statement, Chen Gong nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Excluding the resettlement of displaced people, Yanmen County next year will definitely be economically self-sufficient, and the money given to me by the lord, in addition to returning Zhen Jiming, the rest will be mainly used to resettle the displaced people, of course, it will basically be resettled in Zhenbei City and Tianma City."
Seeing that the troubled times are coming, once the princes start to discuss Dong next year, there will be more and more displaced people! The investment in this area is still impossible to estimate! ”
"Xing, the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer! No matter how many displaced people there are, we have to settle them properly, if you don't have enough money, you can ask me for it, if I'm not there, you can also borrow it from the Zhen family.
Food should be hoarded now! For the sake of those poor people, we have strong soldiers in our hands, even if we rob a few more greedy and unkind families, the world must be able to understand! "Ye Teng has the posture of holding the heart of a bodhisattva and performing thunderbolt means.
Guo Jia cast a look of approval at Ye Teng, which was meaningful: If I don't accept others, I will obey you! The robbery can be said so justifiably and deservedly, and it seems to be standing on the moral high ground......
Chen Gong didn't seem to see Guo Jia's expression, and said respectfully: "No! I will ask the Zhen family to help and start stockpiling food immediately. In troubled times, if you can save the people more, you will be a Buddha in ten thousand families!
Under the governance of Lin Feng, Tianma City has developed quite well, the team of alchemists is still expanding and improving, the horse husbandry industry, especially the war horse above the horse level, is developing rapidly, and grain can greatly support Zhenbei City and Yanmen County.
Since Zhenbei City is the only territory that has opened a teleportation array in the depths of the grassland thousands of miles away, there is basically no problem with security. We have firmly formed an effective reign in the steppe, so to speak!
Today, the Ye family firm in Jingcheng County, with its continuous war horse auctions, can provide us with a lot of financial income every month! ”
After listening to Chen Gong's report, Ye Teng stood up, respectfully saluted him, and said, "Gongtai talent!" Yanmen County has a long history like yours, which is a blessing for tens of millions of people! ”
