Chapter 735: Raising a Soldier with Ten People

General Zhenbei, increase the title of governor, and lead the county guard of Sanchuan County?

Qingji's appointment not only made the person concerned, Tian Sui Tho, sincerely frightened and trembling, but even the ministers and doctors above the court were surprised.

What is this concept?

A county guard, with an official rank of 2,000 stones, has the right to govern civil affairs, and in the event of a war, he can act cheaply, and even be able to transfer troops and send generals, which is great enough!

However, Qingji also sealed Tian Sui Tho as the general of Zhenbei and increased the title of governor!

Not to mention the name of the general of Zhenbei, the key is the governor of the capital, which is similar to the "holding festival" and "holding the festival" of the later dynasties, and has the right to cut first and then play, and the power is particularly great.

That is to say, at this time, Tian Sui Tho was equivalent to the envoy of the feudal town during the Tang Dynasty, as the military and political leader of the county......

If possible, Tian Sui Tho can even divide one side, rank among the princes, and establish a country on his own!

Of course, Qingji will not allow this to happen.

After so many years of getting along, Qingji has understood Tian Sui Tho's personality.

Tian Sui Tho can be said to be loyal to Qingji, and has no other intentions.

Over the years, he has made countless contributions to Wu Guoguo, and he has made outstanding achievements.

For these, Qingji sees it in his eyes and remembers it in his heart.

For example, Sun Wu and Wu Zixu, Qingji will not be released casually, because he still has a lot of use.

And Tian Sui Tho is different.

Tian Sui Tho is a generation of famous generals, both civil and military, and it is more than enough for him to guard Sanchuan County.

Because Sanchuan County, which is composed of Taolinsai and Yin Land, is a strategic place, and the bridgehead of Wu State's attack on the Central Plains cannot be lost, so it is necessary to defend it by a general like Tian Sui Tho, who can carry and fight!

It is worth mentioning that to date, the state of Wu has owned a full twenty counties.

They are: Wu County, Huiji County, Jiujiang County, Surabaya County, Minzhong County, Lujiang County, Cangwu County, Nanhai County, Xiang County, Guilin County, Nan County, Nanyang County, Yuzhang County, Qianzhong County, Dian County, Jiaozhi County, Hanzhong County, Hengshan County, Wuling County, Sanchuan County.

At the beginning, Qingji planned to include Taolin Sai and Yin Land into Nanyang County.

It's just that considering that Nanyang County has fertile land and a large population, it would be biased to put it into a strategic place......

Moreover, the Sanchuan County established by Qingji is still divided according to the 36 counties of the Qin Dynasty, which is based on evidence.

Historically, after the Qin State occupied Xingyang and set it up as Sanchuan County, it became the center and gateway of the Qin people in the East, shouldering the mission of running the East and becoming a military, political and economic center.

Occupying this place of "the world's waterways" controlled the waterway transportation network, which strengthened the Qin State like a tiger and accelerated the pace of dominating the world.

The territory of Sanchuan County in the Qin Dynasty is basically the ancient "Henan Land" located in the "middle of the world", or "Heluo Land", which is "Zhongguo" in the original sense!

It was the main road to the east of Xianyang, the capital of Qin, and it was also a strategic point for the Qin state to control the east.

Later, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rose up, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang raised troops against Qin, and Sanchuan County was the key point of attack and defense.

Of course, the "Sanchuan County" established by Qingji now does not include Luoyi, Xingyang and other cities, but there are also He, Luo, and Yin Sanchuan in the territory, and also includes part of Nanyang County......

At this time, the state of Wu was extremely powerful.

According to Qingji's own estimates, the number of households in Wu now is roughly 1.91 million households and a population of 9.5 million!

And this, still a conservative estimate!

"Tian Sui Tho, how many soldiers and horses do you need to guard Sanchuan County? How much does it take to be self-sufficient? ”

Qingji finally threw this question out.

On the matter of whether to resettle the more than 500,000 Liujin immigrants to Sanchuan County, Qingji believes that it is up for debate.

Now, as the county guard of Sanchuan County, Tian Sui Tho is undoubtedly the main master!

Hearing Qingji's question, Tian Sui Tho lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally replied: "The king, the minister thinks that if he wants to stick to Sanchuan County, not to invade the borders of other countries, and have the power to protect himself, the minister needs at least 20,000 soldiers and horses!" ”

"Raise a soldier with ten people, Sanchuan County, at least 200,000 people!"

200,000 people?

Qingji has already consulted the classics of the population and households of Sanchuan County (Yin Di, Taolinsai).

After Rong Di there was upside down for a while, and after participating in the Central Plains melee several times, the population of Sanchuan County was less than 100,000.

In other words, it is really necessary for Qingji to populate the population of Sanchuan County.

After thinking about it secretly, Qingji said slowly: "The required population will be replenished from Nanyang County and Nanjun." As for the more than 500,000 Liujin immigrants, fill in Nanyang County and Nanjun! ”

"The king is wise!"

The ministers all shouted, saying that they had no objections.

After several "big reshuffles", there are very few remnants of the Chu State who can still stay in Nanyang County and Nanjun.

This is exactly what Qingji likes to see.

Rao is like this, the population of Nanyang County and Nanjun County is never too small.

As the land of the old Chu, the Nanyang Basin is fertile and has been relatively mature.

Where the land is fertile, the population is large, and this is a constant truth throughout the ages.

In today's Wu Kingdom, the most populous counties are Wu County, Nanjun County and Nanyang County.

As for the other counties, some may not even be able to collect taxes, and they still need to be subsidized by the state......

In Sanchuan County, Qingji had a mature idea and planned to use it as the "pasture" of Wu State, so he was not ready to move Rong Di in Sanchuan County.

After all, when it comes to raising horses, few Chinese people can compare to these Rong Di who grew up on horseback!

……

After leaving the Great Dynasty Meeting, Qingji deliberately left the national lieutenant Sun Wu and the great Sima Wu Zixu.

It's just that this time it wasn't the usual summoning them in the Zide Palace, but on the school grounds of the Wu Palace.

Qingji waved his hand, and then a guard brought a yellow horse.

Qingji pointed to the radiant yellow horse and asked, "Changqing, Zixu, you see, what is the difference between this horse and other horses?" ”

Hearing this, Sun Wu and Wu Zixu glanced at each other, and then carefully looked at the yellow horse in front of them.

Both of them were very observant, so after a while, they came to a conclusion.

This yellow horse is not much different from other horses, there are three real differences, and they are all in terms of attire.

First, on the back of the yellow horse, there is a seat made of a wooden frame wrapped in leather.

It appears to be a stuffed soft object, shaped to fit the rider's hips, and is raised both front and back.

Second, the horse's hooves are surrounded by "iron shoes", as if they were nailed, and they seem to be quite light, stamping out a penetrating nail hole from one side.

Its edges are undulating and curved into a non-slip spike at both ends.

Third, the yellow horse also has a pair of pedals hanging on both sides of the horse's back, which are made of iron, and it seems that it is just right for people to step on them.
