Chapter 110

Tang Yin didn't seem to understand what Qiu Zhen meant, but seeing that he didn't mean to continue, he didn't ask any more.

He changed his words and said to the corps commanders under his command: "No matter what, this victory is not enough to deter the barbarian state, nor can it prevent the continued invasion of the barbarians in the future, so the conscription must continue, and the training must still be persisted!"

"Yes, my lord!" Bai Yong, Zhu Nuo, Gu Yue, and Li Wei, the four corps commanders, all stood up in unison.

Tang Yin was silent for a moment, then turned his head and asked Qiu Zhendao: "With the current situation in Pingyuan County, is it possible to continue to increase the corps?"

"Well...... this" Qiu Zhen thought about it seriously, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not." Within a county, the establishment of five corps is already a precedent for the country of wind, if a new corps is added, I am afraid that the royal court will not only not approve it, but also suspect the motives of the adults if it is not good, after all, the tree is a big wind!"

Tang Yin nodded, Qiu Zhen's concerns were also reasonable, his eyes rolled, he smiled faintly, and said: "You don't need to add a new corps, but we can expand the establishment! One corps, we can expand to 15,000 or maybe 20,000 people, so that it is equivalent to adding a new corps." ”

Qiu Zhen didn't expect Tang Yin to come up with such an idea, he was stunned, and then he also smiled and said: "Although the adult's idea is good, the military salary and materials are a problem! Now the county only gives us the military salary, grain, grass and materials of the five corps, and if the adults expand the establishment, the military salary, grain and grass, and materials will be insufficient. ”

Tang Yin had already taken this into account, and he said: "Because of the frequent battles with the barbarians, it is understandable that Pingyuan County's military consumption is too large, we can ask the county for more military salaries, and in addition, we can also rely on the county's taxes to support the army, of course, the premise is that the county's taxes must be taken away first." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Guan Yuanji, engaged in internal affairs, Guan Yuanji is the main executor, whether he can raise taxes, naturally he has to ask Guan Yuanji.

The latter naturally understood that Tang Yin was asking himself, his face was straight, and he said: "Your Excellency wants to increase your troops to ensure the long-term peace and stability of my Pingyuan County Magistrate, even if my official Yuanji digs three feet into the ground, he will make money to assist your lordship." Of course, some policies still need to be approved by adults!" As he spoke, he took out a fold of official documents from his cuffs and handed it to Tang Yin.

Tang Yin looked at Guan Yuanji in surprise, and then looked at the official document in his hand, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile, it turned out that Guan Yuanji had already prepared! He unfolded the official document, looked at it carefully, and the first thing was to vigorously support agriculture and reward the cultivators.

Guan Yuanji saw that Tang Yin was serious, walked forward, and explained: "Pingyuan County has been in war for many years, many people have fled to the barren mountains and forests for refuge, the farmland has been uncultivated for many years, and a large area is deserted. Only in this way can the agricultural products of Pingyuan County be fruitful in a short period of time by attracting the people who have taken refuge to return to their homes and arousing the people's enthusiasm for cultivating the land with their titles. ”

Tang Yin nodded his head as he listened. As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass are moving forward, the army cannot be without food for a day, food is very important to the army, and there can even be no military salary, but there can be no military food.

He pondered for a moment, then replied, "This can be implemented!"

Guan Yuanji continued: "Second, revitalize commerce. All along, Pingyuan County is worried about external troubles, business is in a state of stagnation, the county's materials can not be sold, the outside materials can not be sold recently, this is also the main factor that causes poverty in Pingyuan County, in order to attract businessmen into Pingyuan County, first of all, there must be a stable and peaceful environment, now the barbarians are defeated, the county bandits have been eliminated, there is no problem with the environment, and secondly, it is necessary to reduce or exempt business taxes, as long as it is profitable, businessmen will naturally come enthusiastically, only the influx of businessmen can bring Pingyuan County a long-lost prosperity. ”

Tang Yin nodded and said, "This one is also approved!"

Seeing that Guan Yuanji was going to continue to explain, and the others were sitting in the chairs with absent-minded looks, Tang Yin waved his hand, temporarily interrupted Guan Yuanji, and said to everyone: "If you don't have other military affairs to discuss, then go back and rest first!"

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates retire!" Everyone is a general in the army, and they don't pay attention to government affairs, and when they heard Tang Yin say that they can leave, they were relieved and got up to say goodbye, only Qiu Zhen stayed and didn't leave, not because he cared about government affairs, but because he hadn't finished what he had just said.

After everyone left, Tang Yin smiled at Guan Yuanji: "Yuanji, you continue!"

Guan Yuanji nodded and said, "The third is to be eclectic and promote talents." In terms of the calendar of the wind country, regardless of military and political affairs, its officials need to have a title first and then have an official position, so that it is equivalent to squeezing out these talents who do not have a title, and it is difficult for ordinary people to have a title, so the official position has been occupied by those nobles for a long time, and adults should break this boundary, and promote talents without prejudice and without discrimination. ”

"En!" Tang Yin was deeply aware of this, and he himself had no prejudices, nobles and commoners were the same in his eyes, on the contrary, he felt that ordinary people were more simple than nobles.

At this time, Qiu Zhen interjected: "If the promotion of talents and the appointment of officials do not require titles, then the first one, rewarding those who excel in agriculture with titles will lose its meaning." ”

Guan Yuanji smiled leisurely and said: "What Lord Qiu is talking about is exactly the fourth point I want to say, to take the title to the crime! My lord, we are straightforward and fierce in temperament, easy to compete and competitive, private fights often occur, and there are many people who are imprisoned for hurting people in private fights, but if you have a title, you can offset the guilt with the title, so as to encourage people to fight for the title. ”

Tang Yin frowned, he had no objection to the first three articles of Guan Yuanji, but he could not agree with the fourth article, he could not agree with the fact that he was guilty of the crime, and guilt was guilty, so how could he use the title to offset it? Of course, the modern idea of equality for all people cannot be used to regulate the people of this era, but Tang Yin still felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Guan Yuanji saw Tang Yin's dissatisfaction, he sighed lightly, and said: "This article is actually only temporary, its purpose is to stimulate people to work hard to farm, so as to win the title and obtain a 'gold medal for avoiding death' for themselves. ”

Tang Yin pondered for a while, nodded and promised: "Okay! This article can also be approved!"

"Thank you, sir!" Guan Yuanji thanked him and continued: "Article 5, attract the people of other cities and counties to move into Pingyuan County......"

Guan Yuanji spoke, Tang Yin listened, the former talked endlessly, and the latter also listened with relish, and after Guan Yuanji finished explaining the 20 articles of the official document, a full hour and a half had passed.

Finally understood the content of the whole department, Tang Yin let out a long sigh, he looked tired of this official document, and he didn't know how much thought Guan Yuanji had to put into compiling it.

He smiled gratefully at Guan Yuanji and said, "Yuanji, you have worked hard, I agree with all these twenty contents, you just let it go!"

Guan Yuanji stood up, respectfully bowed in front of Tang Yin, and said, "Obey orders!"

Talented people are rare, and people who know how to appreciate and trust him are even rarer. After Guan Yuanji defected to Tang Yin, it can be said that his talent in internal affairs was brought into full play, which laid a solid foundation for the rapid rise of Yeyuan County.

But it's my turn! After Guan Yuanji finished speaking, Tang Yin breathed with him, and Qiu Zhen on the side also breathed a sigh.

Without waiting for Tang Yin to greet him, he first took out the map of the Wind Country and spread it on the table.

Tang Yin looked at Qiu Zhen puzzled, not knowing what he was crazy about.

Qiu Zhen looked at Tang Yin, then at the map, and asked, "My lord, if there is really an accident on the Tongmen side and there is a change in the capital, how do you think we should protect ourselves?"

Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you think that Ning will not keep his promise and raise troops to attack again!"

"Anything is possible, and there's nothing wrong with preventing it before it burns. ”

Tang Yin got up, walked to the table, looked at the map, and slowly shook his head, Pingyuan County is not in good terrain, plains on all sides, there is no danger to be the first, if there is really an enemy attacking from the inside, it will not be able to resist at all. He smiled bitterly and said, "If Ning Bing can really drive straight into us and fight us, we will only have to fight to the death." ”

Qiu Zhen shook his head and said, "Otherwise, my lord, there is actually a natural danger, which can isolate the enemy soldiers from the outside, and it is difficult to step into our county!"

"Oh?" Is there such a natural danger in Pingyuan County? Tang Yin lowered his head, carefully checked the map, and after looking for a long time, he didn't find the natural danger Qiu Zhen said, he asked suspiciously, "Where is it?"

"Here!"

Qiu Zhen's fingers swept across Pingyuan County and pointed all the way to Tianguan.

Tang Yin and Guan Yuanji looked at it, and their faces changed slightly.

Tianguan is the entrance to Tianyuan County, and the north of the checkpoint is the territory of Tianyuan County. Tang Yin also passed by Tianguan when he took office in Pingyuan County, and at that time he felt that the terrain of Tianguan, a fortress city, was unique, even better than Tongmen, but Tianguan was located in the territory of the Wind Country and had no strategic significance.

Tianguan is not under the jurisdiction of Pingyuan County, but directly under Tianyuan County, Tang Yin is only the county guard of Pingyuan County, how can he manage Tianguan?

Qiu Zhen naturally understood Tang Yin and Guan Yuanji's confusion, he looked left and right, lowered his voice, and asked, "Could it be that adults are only satisfied with being the head of a county?"

When Tang Yin heard this, he immediately narrowed his eyes.

Qiu Zhense said: "The goal of the lord is not only to be external, but also to the inside, and the goal is the position of the county head of Tianyuan County!" After a pause, he said again: "The county head Yu He is just an insatiable and useless person, the lord should prepare as soon as possible and replace him." If we control the entire Tianyuan County, we can use the Tianguan as a barrier, whether the Ning army calls or the royal court wants to be unfavorable to the adults, we can wait without fear!"
