At this time, after the addition of Ba County, there were twenty-one 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, Ba County.

In the past few years, Wu has basically increased the territory of one county a year, and the speed of expansion is jaw-dropping.

The risk of this is huge, and it also makes Ji Ran, Wen Chong, Kong Qiu and others deeply worried.

After all, if you take a big step, it's easy to get into Dan......

The foundation of the state of Wu at this stage is not solid.

Once there is a major crisis, it may collapse like "a thousand-mile embankment collapsed in an anthill".

"The King."

At this time, Daxing Ling Yanghu stood up and said to Qing Ji: "The countries of the Western Regions have surrendered. However, the Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, and these small countries are scattered, some of which have less than the population of one county and one city. ”

"Why don't the king take advantage of the situation, destroy the countries of the Western Regions, and change it to the land of a county in my Wu country?"

"No!"

As soon as Yang Hu's voice fell, the right prime minister Kong Qiu immediately retorted: "The Western Regions, for my Wu country, is an 'enclave', why should you place a county?" ”

"Furthermore, although the Western Regions is a transportation hub between the East and the West, an important trade route, but it is a barren land, a barren land, and turning the Western Regions into a county may cost national strength for no reason."

"Please King Mingjian!"

Hearing this, Qing Ji smiled slightly and said: "The intention of the widow is to set up a capital protection mansion in the Western Regions. ”

"Dadu Hu, with a rank of 2,000 stones, is equivalent to a county guard, and its subordinate officials have one deputy lieutenant and one Cheng, and two Sima, Junhou, and Du Lieutenant."

"The duty of the protector is to rule the countries of the Western Regions, manage the tuntian, and issue the order of the widows, and the countries are in turmoil, and troops must be sent to conscript."

"All countries have self-translated chiefs, domain chiefs, monarchs, eunuchs, officials, Dalu, Baichang, Qianchang, Duwei, and Qu, Danghu, generals, and princes, all wearing Wu seals!"

"The king is wise!"

In this way, the capital of the Western Regions is almost the same as a county in Wu State.

After all, even their monarch had to be canonized by King Wu.

"I wonder how many troops the king plans to garrison in the Western Regions? Who is Daduhu? ”

Ji Ran asked with a frown.

"The widow has been selected, the capital protector of the Western Regions is Wu Fan, the deputy lieutenant Wu Ming, and the rest of the officials and generals will be selected later."

After a pause, Qingji said again: "The intention of the widow, in Wulei and Shule City, the administrative offices of the Western Regions Protectorate, there are 15,000 garrisons, half of which are the Wu army and half are the Western Regions coalition army, and they are unified for training. ”

Fifteen thousand?

Actually, you don't need so many soldiers and horses.

Qingji is just preparing for the next battle to destroy Qin.

Hearing this, Ji Ran couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "King, the minister thinks it's inappropriate. ”

"There are too many garrisons in the Western Regions, and the grain and straw are transported from the mainland of our Wu country, and the losses on the way are innumerable. If it is borne by the countries of the Western Regions, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the countries, and please think twice! ”

Qing Ji said: "The weapons and equipment and military salaries of the garrison in the Western Regions are allocated by the Wu State, and the countries are responsible for maintaining and paying for the purchase. As for grain and grass, the meaning of the widow is to implement the system of tuntian in the Western Regions. ”

"Farm tools, houses, seeds, and cattle are uniformly distributed by the state, and soldiers are used for farming, and the fields are used for military rations."

"The Western Regions Protectorate has another general in charge of the affairs of the Western Regions Tuntian."

Tuntian system?

After Qingji's explanation, including Ji Ran, all the ministers and doctors realized the cleverness of the Tuntian system, and there was no objection.

In war, food is the material basis of conquest.

In order to ensure the supply of grain and grass, the development of agricultural production is also a very important means!

In order to obtain a long-term and stable supply of grain production in the event of a protracted war, it is all the more necessary to establish a certain form of grain production base.

It is best to build such a grain production base not far from the war zone, so as to ensure that the loss of food on the road due to the employment of people to carry the grain can be reduced.

This is Tuntian!

In this era, each war did not last long, so there was no need to build a logistics base for food production.

It was not until the Qin and Han dynasties that the tuntian system really came into being.

For example, Qin Shi Huang made Meng Tian to send 100,000 people to attack the Xiongnu in the north, and learned that the south of the river was blocked, and built forty-four county seats, near the river, and it was suitable to fill it.

For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty reclaimed 600,000 soldiers in the Yellow River Hetao and the Zhangye and Jiuquan areas in the west of the river......

This is enough to show that the soldiers take turns to defend the border, which is not a long-term solution.

Qingji must truly ensure the security of the Western Regions, when there is a planned migration, develop production in the border areas, and link the defense of the country with the protection of the family!

However, there is still a long way to go.

Except for some criminals, where did Qingji get the population to fill the Western Regions?

"The king, the minister has something to do!"

In the imperial history, Cheng Bo stood up with a tooth wat in his hand.

"Say."

"The minister thinks that the sons of the king should be canonized as kings and given fiefs to show their dignity! As Gongzi Fan, Gongzi Xi generally, the prince who goes out of the town, the king should be crowned as the king, divide the sons, and then the king will rule the arch, so that the Wu royal family has a long history! ”

“……”

Bo's dog-legged personality has always remained the same, and he is good at figuring out his intentions.

Qingji let Gongzi Fan serve as the protector of the Western Regions, and Gongzixi served as the county guard of Ba County, controlling the three northwestern counties of Wu State, it can be imagined how important Qingji is to them.

In time, don't say it's a fiefdom, I'm afraid that the matter of sealing the country to the princes can be done!

This is not a fiefdom, but a fiefdom, and the concept between the two is not to be confused.

The power of the feudal monarch is too great, how can Qingji have no scruples?

"Bo Ba, what do you mean is to let the widow split the territory and seal the territory?"

The look on Qingji's face was quite complicated.

"Exactly."

The word "rippling" is a bit glaring, but it does mean that.

I saw the flattering Xiang Qingji and said: "The king, the princes are getting older, and each has their own strengths, and they are the pillars of my Wu country." ”

"Today, the territory of Dawu is vast, with a radius of thousands of miles, and many counties have been merged, which is difficult to govern."

"Although there is a county guard and a county commander in charge, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes and omissions, and there will be negligence."

"If the king can divide the princes, and take the land of several counties, or even the land of one county as his fief, he will definitely suppress the place, and he will work as one, and all the young people will not dare to act rashly!"

"Please King Mingjian!"

Ripping the ground?

This so-called "splitting the soil" is actually splitting the soil.

"Shangshu Yu Gong" said: The tribute is only the five colors of the earth.

The king seals the five-colored soil as a society, and if the feudal princes cut their own square color soil with it, it will be returned to the national society......

The four sides are covered with loess according to their square colors, and when they cut the soil, they are covered with white grass and wrapped with white grass.
