The first thousand and twenty-six chapters of heaven
"After all... the foundation of the four counties is still slightly weak, not as good as Guanzhong, Longxi, and the Central Plains."
Bai Qianhong sighed slightly.
There is nothing that can be done about this. In ancient times, most of the Xia tribes and alliances gathered on both sides of the river. The land was flat and open, and the houses were easy to build. The two sides of the river in the south were bright.
For thousands of years, and continuing to this day, rich and prosperous places have begun to appear in the Xia of Ling, with Guanzhong, the Central Plains, and Qilu taking the lead, while other regions are slightly worse.
The four counties under your lord's general jurisdiction are undoubtedly second best.
After the words came out, the rest of the people in the hall also nodded. Compared with other counties and counties in the Qin State, the foundation of the four counties is indeed very weak, whether it is in terms of wealth, manpower, or arable land.
"Haha, although the foundation of the four counties is weak, there may not be anything that can make up for it."
"The way of heaven is to make up for the excess damage and make up for the deficiencies. The foundation of a country and a land lies in the land, and more importantly in the power of the people. For example, Korea in the past had little land and few people. It was impossible to become a great country among the Xia Dynasties."
"Since King Ping of the Great Zhou Dynasty moved eastward, the Chu State has suffered repeated defeats in foreign wars. However, due to the vast territory and large number of people in the country, some losses can be made up in only ten or eight years."
Hearing the sound, Zhou Qing also smiled softly. The strength of a place cannot be forged without the right time, right place, and the unification of three elements. Even in the long river of time, in the next thousands of years, the four counties will not be the most prosperous.
place.
However... despite this, it is not necessarily impossible to make changes. Otherwise, what is the difference between the summers of today and the summers of ancient times?
"Your Majesty's words, when Wu and Yue were fighting for the throne, were the Yue Kingdom's ten years of life and gathering, and what are the lessons learned in the ten years?"
I have been following the master for a long time, and I have noticed the starting point of the master's strategy. Bai Qianhong's delicate eyebrows are moved by it, and he speaks crisply, and all kinds of things are rolling in his mind.
"Ten years of reunion, ten years of lessons?"
Ye Teng heard that the Yue State's strategy was indeed good, but it took time. It would take a full twenty years for the Yue State to have a single blow. If the single blow could not succeed, then the Yue State would
It is impossible to turn over again.
This shouldn't be what the adults said, but... this meaning should be mixed in.
The rest of the people looked at each other and couldn't help but think.
Being able to enter the political hall is already Wu Zhenhou's affirmation for them. As long as they can perform well in the next few years, it will not be difficult to return to their respective counties and take over as county guards.
And Ye Teng, the only county governor in the political affairs hall, is afraid that he will enter Xianyang, Guanzhong as an official. Jiuqing is at his fingertips, and the center is just around the corner.
"What if the population of the four counties increases by tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands in the next few years?"
Ten years of gatherings and ten years of lessons do have some meaning in their own plans, but unfortunately, not all of them. The four counties are vast and vast, not inferior to Guanzhong in the slightest. The only thing lacking is the people's power and arable land.
"For more than a hundred years, the method of household registration and naturalization in the Qin Dynasty has been adopted in all major counties and counties. I don't need to say much about this method. The number of people is several weeks, which is the foundation of the country."
"When it comes to numbers of people, common affairs arise naturally, so how can we not do it right? Divide the fields, order tribute, make utensils for use, provide food and salary, set up field services, build the army, and build the state's laws.
The family is used to establish the system, the five rituals are used to repair, and the five punishments are used to measure. Their only purpose is to judge the number of people."
"All the plans you and others have planned and all the things I have said are all based on this. Among the four counties, only Shu County and Qianzhong County were incorporated into the Qin State very early, and the other two counties followed slightly."
Zhou Qing slowly said that most of the current emphasis falls on this.
"In the past, Sima Cuo attacked and plundered Bashu, and not long after he led troops to Dongting, there was the Battle of Changping. Also, in the later years of King Zhaoxiang, the government was slightly unstable. He did not have strong control over the four counties, and the government's power did not penetrate deeply into them.
inside."
"Afterwards, the throne of the Qin Dynasty changed. To this day, although the civil registration of the four counties is there, the control of the people's power is far less than that of Guanzhong, especially the south of the four counties, close to the Baiyue, barbarian, Qiang and other places."
"Next, I want to ask the four counties to record the civil registration again. The four counties will follow the road, straight road, and build important roads. I will also send special personnel to enter the southern barbarians, recruit their people, and value their strength.
, in the hope that Zhu Xia Fenghua will expand."
Facing the gazes of the five people, Zhou Qing continued.
The strength of the four counties and the abundant people will bring enough tax revenue and goods, putting the development of the four counties on the fast track. Similarly, the development of the four counties will also make the people feel at ease, and they can live and gather with confidence.
With a solid foundation, and if we continue step by step, the development of the four counties will definitely get better and better. Not to mention reaching the power of future generations, at least it is not like the four counties in front of us, which lack confidence in the center.
In addition to being used for Qin's southern defense, goods and manpower accounted for a very low proportion.
"There are indeed many people from Baiyue, barbarians, and Qiang people."
"Although... the elegance is not obvious and the etiquette is barbaric, it can be easily used because of this. According to Qianhong's understanding of the south of Qin and the south of Chu, it will not be difficult to recruit 50,000 to 100,000 of his people within five years.
thing."
"It will not be difficult to reorganize household registration and encourage the gathering of students. Within five years, it will not be difficult to integrate 50,000 to 100,000 people. If this is the case, the foundation is established."
Bai Qianhong naturally knew a lot about the remaining tribes of Baiyue and the barbarians in the south, which were not included in the grandeur of Zhuxia. She also knew their background. Their existence was, on the one hand, the gathering of tribes from three generations to bless the remnants of the ancient feudal kingdom.
In addition, for thousands of years, the Xia have been in constant disputes, and a large number of people have continued to flee into it. The largest group was naturally when Wu and Yue were fighting for hegemony. Several forces separated from each other, and in the land of Baiyue today,
occupies a considerable position.
Five years is not a long time, and it will not be difficult to include its people according to the Lord's policy.
With the renovation of the blessing roads, it is much easier to manage those people, and there is no need to worry about anything happening to them. With their absolute strength, they have only one path to choose.
"Wuzhenhou's policy is a great plan for the country."
"Maybe it will take a little longer, but it will be successful. The four counties should accumulate their strength, with Shu County, Nan County running through Ba County, and Qianzhong County two counties. The four counties will become one, and they will become a whole and become the Qin State south of the Wei River.
The most important county."
"When the number of people increases, we can build a city where mountains and rivers gather to accommodate them. With the city as the center, we will be prosperous and stable."
Ye Teng praised.
This strategy cannot be called a great plan for the country. If this strategy is to be realized, it will take decades, and it will undoubtedly be extremely energy-consuming for any county governor.
With that kind of time and energy, opening up acres of wasteland and raising grain and grass taxes in a short period of time can be regarded as the outline of political achievements. Spending on Chidao and Straight Road is a bit wasteful, but...from the perspective of the entire Qin State.
Marquis Wu Zhen's strategy was a good one.
Thirty years later, the four counties will be integrated into one and will definitely become an important town of the Qin State. Whether it is the taxation of grain and grass, the large number of people, the breadth of roads, or the prosperity of mountains, rivers, fishing and hunting, everything can be used.
It is no less than advancing the Qin law further in the four counties, and even when the Qin State is unified, the Chu State's Jiangbei and Jiangnan can also use this strategy to rectify the vast areas.
"If there are enough people, the four counties can cultivate more than twice the current acres of land, develop fishing and hunting with abundant water, abundant trees in the mountains and forests, abundant minerals, and rivers of grass and trees."
Feng Shuo, the magistrate of Qianzhong County, nodded.
"In Shu County, Yun brocade is now very prosperous. In Ba County, the cinnabar is very strange. In Qianzhong County, there are many strange trees. In Nan County, there are many prosperous commercial markets. The four counties are integrated and complement each other.
.”
A word from Hu Sha, the magistrate of Shu County.
"Whether it's a big plan, a big strategy, or something else..., everything is in your hands."
"Tomorrow, I will submit a document to Xianyang. During the period, I will dispatch some Central Academy students to use it here. For today's matter, you will continue to discuss the details and draw up an outline."
"Soon, the four counties will be sent to serve as a coordinating force."
With such instructions, everyone should know how to do it. Now... everything is still in general terms. The detailed plan should be followed by four counties. Zhou Qing looked at the five people and issued another order.
If you want to do something, you have to do your best.
A flower in bud will bloom more beautifully and can be appreciated better.
