"Monarch, if you want to make Princess Ji Ying the crown princess of Wu Kingdom, it is not difficult."

Dou Li chuckled lightly and said: "In the imperial history of the Wu Kingdom, Cheng Bo is a flattering minister, and he is extremely greedy, but he is also trusted by Qingji. ”

"The monarch can send someone to envoy Wu Guo, bribe Bo Biao with a lot of money, let him speak well, and then send the portrait of Princess Ji Ying to Empress Wu. Empress Wu's beloved son is heartfelt, and the ministers are sure that this matter will be successful! ”

"Good."

Zhao Ying nodded with satisfaction.

……

After the end of the alliance of Xu Tian, the princes of various countries returned to their homes one after another.

And Qingji is to inspect the vast territory of Wu State.

This seems to have become a common practice.

In the past 20 years, under the hard work and unremitting efforts of Qingji, the state of Wu has been carrying out a war of foreign expansion, so the territory opened up is vast, and millions of "new Wu people" have been incorporated.

In order to publicize his grace and prestige, as well as to show the strength of Wu State, and to deter Xiaoxiao, Qingji will carry out a huge patrol every few years.

This is Qingji's first patrol after claiming hegemony, so the scale of the patrol team is not small.

In addition to the attendants and palace ladies who are responsible for serving, there are also the Yulin Army, the Tiger Ben Army, and the rest of the guards, more than 5,000 people, and countless vehicles and ships.

Gongzihong, Gongzixi, and Gongzifan are with him, and Xi Shi and Zheng Dan, who are favored by Qingji, will also be by his side.

Ministers such as Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, and Fan Li were also in the patrol team.

Such a large patrol team, the cost is naturally a lot, fortunately, today's Wu State, the national strength is strong, the treasury is full, and the expenses used to celebrate the patrol are just a drop in the bucket for the treasury of Wu State.

The first stop of Qingji's western tour was Taolinsai and Yindi, that is, Sanchuan County of Wu State.

For this Sanchuan County, which was newly included in the territory of Wu State, Qingji is particularly important.

Because Sanchuan County is not only the bridgehead of Wu's attack on the Central Plains, the military base of Zhou, Zheng and Qin, but also the largest "horse farm" and horse-producing area of Wu.

"Chentian Sui Tho, see the king! Long live the king! ”

"Ten thousand years of the king!"

At this time, on the bank of the Luoshui River, Tian Sui Tho led the officials of Sanchuan County to welcome Qingji.

Tian Sui Tho and the others were all dusty, and their robes were stained with a lot of dust, even mud, and dirty.

The officials of Sanchuan County behind him are also the same, like people working on the construction site.

"No courtesy, flat!"

"King Xie!"

Qingji looked around, looked at Tian Sui Tho and the others who were disgraced at the moment, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Tian Sui Tho, what are you waiting for?" ”

"Let the king laugh."

Tian Sui Tho looked sincerely frightened, bowed to Qingji and said: "The ministers and colleagues of Sanchuan County are responsible for supervising the construction of the new city, and they have the responsibility of supervising the work. I didn't know that the king came so quickly, so the second and third sons didn't freshen up, and asked the king to forgive his sins! ”

"It doesn't matter."

Qingji smiled and waved his hand.

For a minister like Tian Sui Tho who does everything himself and is naked, Qingji is very fond of it.

Tian Sui Tho is capable!

Not only to lead troops to fight, but also to deal with internal affairs or engage in infrastructure construction, Tian Sui Tho is a good hand.

"How long will it take for the new city in Sanchuan County to be completed?"

"Back to the king, at the latest, in less than half a year, this new city will be able to begin to take shape."

"Good."

Qingji bowed slightly, and said: "Tian Sui Tho, as the county guard of Sanchuan County, you have a long way to go. In the future, Sanchuan County may be more than this city, and you will be tired. ”

"To serve the king, why should the ministers give up their hard work?"

Tian Sui Tho is an upright person and is not good at sycophants, so Qingji knows that what he said is from his heart.

This made Qingji's heart even more gratifying.

In fact, Wu did not need to build too many cities in Sanchuan County, at least for now, one or two new cities would be more than enough.

The vast area south of Luoshui and north of Funiu Mountain is roughly the entire territory of Sanchuan County of Wu State.

In the past, this place was basically the Rong tribes such as Yang, Zhu, Quan, Gao, Yin, and Luo, as well as the places where Lu Hun Rong, Yin Rong and Guazhou Rong lived together.

Commonly known as the "Three Regardless Zone"!

Nominally, Sanchuan County of Wu was the domain of the Zhou royal family, or the territory of the Jin state.

Now that the Zhou royal family and the Jin Kingdom have already existed in name only, they naturally can't control this place.

It's not that there are no other cities in Sanchuan County, but its geographical location is not good.

The previous Sanchuan County was just a city-

Chongcheng!

Chongcheng is located on the bank of the Yinshui River and is no longer a border city.

And Sanchuan County is a county of Wu State, how can there be only one city?

Even if Qingji planned to make Sanchuan County the horse-producing area of Wu State, he could not relax the defense of Sanchuan County.

As a border county, Sanchuan County is extremely unqualified.

Fortunately, Qingji is good at "attacking instead of defending", once Sanchuan County is invaded by the enemy, Qingji will not choose to defend, but to counterattack and attack.

With such an important horse-producing area, Qingji will never let Sanchuan County fall to the enemy.

"The king, in addition to building a new city, the minister also plans to repair Chongcheng on the bank of the Yinshui River."

"The main thing is to expand the scale of the city, add shops, markets, houses, etc., so as to attract merchants to gather, so that Sanchuan County can become self-sufficient, and ask the king for permission."

At this time, Tian Sui Tho made a suggestion.

Chongcheng is a city with a long history.

During the Shang Dynasty, this place was a Chongguo and was named a marquis by Shang.

The most famous monarch of Chongguo is none other than Chonghou Hu.

During the Wuding period, Chonghou Hu was a border guardian and participated in the conquest of Zhou, Ji, Qiong and other Fang countries.

In the era of King Shang, there seems to be a Chonghou Hu, who played the role of a "whistleblower......

"The widow is allowed to play."

With a wave of his hand, Qingji agreed to Tian Sui Tho's proposition.

After all, the vast majority of Li Shu in Sanchuan County are Rong people, good at grazing, negligent in farming, and even more ignorant of business......

To a large extent, Mikawa-gun may need help from the state.

If Sanchuan County's financial problems can be solved by itself, it will save Qingji a lot of trouble.

Immediately afterwards, Qingji, accompanied by Tian Sui Tho and other officials of Sanchuan County, came to the address of the new city on the south bank of Luoshui to inspect it.

The water potential of Luoshui is vast, and the herbs are delicious.

Qingji and the others stood on the cart, and as far as the eye could see, they could see herds of cattle and sheep on the riverside, and the shepherds were waving long whips and driving away the cattle and sheep that had fallen behind.

"Baa Baa ......"

"Moo!"

People are barking, sheep are neighing, cows are chirping.

This is really a picture of "the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep", full of poetry!

"The water of the Luo River is pale in color. Sacrifice Daze, suddenly to the south. Luo Bin prayed, and the color was connected with three lights. ”

Qingji remembered the song "Song of Xiluo Water", and couldn't help but feel it and sang it.

Luoshui, from ancient times to the present, has been covered with a layer of mystery.
