Chapter 593: It Begins

It's really not suitable!

Chen Duan muttered to himself in his heart.

However, since people asked, and this is still Lingnan, where the emperor is far away, Chen Duan feels that he can "talk nonsense".

"Qin II died for many reasons-"

Even if he hasn't read history books, Chen Duan has strategists around him.

In private, they will also "learn from history".

Chen Duan was jealous of Chen Jing, not only because Chen Jing "treated others with himself", but also because Chen Duan was indeed ambitious.

Since there is ambition, it is also necessary to study the history of the predecessors so much.

Therefore, Chen Duan can really tell the many reasons for the fall of the Qin Dynasty.

Gu Tingcheng didn't bother to listen, so he directly interrupted him and said, "There are indeed many reasons, but 'Qin Law is too strict' is one of the important reasons. ”

Gu Tingcheng threw out this topic, just to remind not to use the method of governing the army to govern the place.

In the barracks, it is true that military law should be strict.

However, governing the local area is not applicable.

Qin Law is notoriously strict, and if they are late for conscription, they will be beheaded, how can Chen Sheng and them not rebel?

On the surface, Qin seems to have been destroyed at the hands of the Second Emperor.

But if the Qin Law is not changed, even if Fusu comes to power, it will not last long.

To govern troubled times, we need to use heavy codes.

But the world is unified and peaceful, so it must be adjusted in a timely manner.

Soothing, gentle, stable, peaceful!

Chen Duan: ......

He's not stupid.

And Gu Tingcheng's "reminder" is not obscure.

Hehe, moved Qin Fa out.

Why, in the eyes of the little girl of the Gu family, she, the King of Liang, has become a "tyrant" like Qin II?

Tsk, isn't it just a little embarrassing for her at the city gate?

The little girl's heart is too small, and she actually scolded him as a tyrant by using ancient irony!

The corner of Gu Tingcheng's eyes caught a glimpse of Chen Duan's crying and laughing appearance, and he knew that he had misunderstood.

Uh, well, Gu Tingcheng admitted that she was indeed suspected of "revenge", and she took advantage of a little verbally.

But, in fact, she really wanted to remind Chen Duan -

"Your Highness, Guangcheng is the port of Lingnan, and it is the most prosperous, where Lingnan and even overseas businessmen gather."

The richness of Guangcheng is not because of how rich the products are, but because of the superior geographical location.

By the sea, by the inland.

There are natural harbors, and there are also excellent shipping conditions.

Merchants from the south to the north gather here.

The prosperity of commerce will naturally lead to the original economy of the local area.

Chen Duan saw that Gu Tingcheng no longer "talked about the ancients", but returned to Guangcheng itself.

The thriving commerce of Gwangseong is also mentioned.

He nodded in agreement, "Guangcheng is indeed prosperous. Several commercial houses have done their business in Jiankang, even in the Northern Dynasties! ”

It was precisely because he knew that business was prosperous that Chen Duan increased his management of businessmen.

Raise the tax law, limit prices, and control the commerce of Guangcheng in the form of laws.

Wait a minute!

Law!

Qin law?

Chen Duan seemed to understand.

He looked at the beautiful girl at the bottom of his head.

"Gu Qing, do you think I shouldn't use the method of governing the army to manage Shangjia?"

Chen Duan sat up straight and looked straight at Gu Qingcheng.

"Whether it should be or shouldn't be is not something I can judge. It depends on whether the city is stable and whether the people can work happily. ”

Gu Tingcheng replied lightly.

Chen Duan: "Oh? My Canton is unstable? Can't the people be happy? ”

Gu Tingcheng never plays tricks with others, but likes to come up with tangible evidence.

"Qing has been in the city for less than half a day, and Xu is a leopard in the tube. However, the situation in Guangcheng is indeed different from what Qing imagined. ”

"There are thirteen trading houses in the city, but eight of them are suspended, and the five that are open are not as prosperous as they used to be."

"There is also the price of rice in the city, although it has not increased, but there is no rice in the rice shop."

Chen Duan was not wrong to control prices and raise commercial taxes.

Gu Tingcheng has similar measures in Luozhou and Yuezhou.

But he only has "power", but no temptation.

Gu Tingcheng said the current situation of Guangcheng's commerce, "...... Businessmen seek profit. It is far better to suppress it with power and limit it with law, than to drive it away with profit! ”

Chen Duanhu said, "So, you cooperate with the Huang family to run the shipyard together?" ”

Gu Tingcheng raised his eyebrows, oh, I knew that Chen Duan had been in Lingnan for a few months, not just competing for interests with Guangcheng Assassin History.

He also conducted an in-depth investigation of Lingnan.

"That's right!"

Gu Qingcheng generously admitted.

It's no secret.

Moreover, Gu Tingcheng also wanted to show himself to Chen Duan.

In addition to her "harmonious" cooperation with the local wealthy families, there is also her means of governing the city, as well as her expertise in infrastructure.

"Lord, are you interested in going to my Wu Fort?"

Gu Tingcheng took the initiative to send out an invitation.

She knew that Chen Duan wanted to cooperate with her.

And Chen Duan also knew that she coveted his soldiers, his ordnance and war horses.

Both sides have intentions, but both sides are observing and probing.

It is still very necessary to show your strength in a timely manner.

"Since Gu Sanniang sincerely wants it, then the king will go and take a look!"

"However, Sanniang has already come to my Guangcheng, so I can stay in Guangcheng for a few days."

"I heard that Sanniang is also training. This king is quite curious, I don't know how this king's Xuanjia soldiers are compared with Sanniang's maiden soldiers? ”

Chen Duan also mentioned the word "women's soldiers".

He is also deliberately telling Gu Tingcheng: This king also has a deep understanding of you.

So, it's all a thousand-year-old fox, so don't play any tricks.

"I have long heard that His Royal Highness King Liang has a method of military training, and the Xuanjia soldiers under his command are brave and martial, and one is ten."

"If you're lucky, I'm willing to go to the barracks to have a look."

Gu Qingcheng really didn't blindly brag.

Chen Jing will be jealous of Chen Duan, and it is also related to the fact that Chen Duan has 20,000 wolf-like elite soldiers under his command.

And these 20,000 horses, Gu Qingcheng is also very covetous.

……

The two sides come and go, and the atmosphere is also "harmonious".

After lunch, Gu Tingcheng followed Chen Duan to his military camp.

Sure enough, the horses were strong, the helmets were bright, and the screaming soldiers were like tigers about to rush out of the gate.

Such 20,000 horses, put on the battlefield, are enough to launch a large-scale battle.

Even compared with the cavalry of the Northern Dynasty, it is not much worse.

Gu Qingcheng's eyes were full of imperativeness.

She became more and more enthusiastic about Chen Duan.

This time, there was no need to deliberately show off, Gu Tingcheng directly wrote a complete set of governance regulations for governing Guangcheng.

Land endowment, commercial tax, reclamation, people's care, water conservancy, road construction, etc., Gu Tingcheng has achieved all aspects and is methodical.

She also wrote a set of methods for restoring and developing Guangcheng's commerce, and actively contacted the local wealthy families.

Chen Duan felt more and more that the Gu family, a little girl who was only fourteen years old, already had the potential to be a virtuous helper.

And her words and deeds are also like a housewife who can stabilize the rear and a good partner in her career.

Scourge Waters: ...... Suddenly, I had a bad premonition.

Your Majesty, when did you become so "virtuous"?
