He took the document from Ye Teng and took a brief look at it. It was indeed a letter about drawing people from the four counties to fill the newly occupied area.
Build a city and think it will be strong, and then gradually move south, fighting steadily.
Allocating people’s power?
That's quite easy to say.
The current development of the four counties lacks people's power, and the development of the entire Zhuxia land lacks people's power.
"According to what the document said, there are not many people being transferred at the moment, only three thousand people, but... there will be more and more people in the future."
Ye Teng said again.
Over the past few years, the four counties have developed vertically and horizontally, and have accumulated some strength. Coupled with the development of many water conservancy projects, the population has indeed increased a lot.
However, compared to the vast land of the four counties, it is still too little.
Now we want to mobilize people's power into the south. Although it is all for Da Qin, after all... it is not appropriate to develop in the four counties.
I don’t know how Wu Zhenhou made his choice.
Once this opening is opened, more people will be relocated next.
Three thousand people.
Six thousand people.
Ten thousand people.
…
That's incredible.
"Who makes the four counties closest to those places?"
"Relocating people from the four counties must be relocated, but it is not a migration without any cost."
"Ye Teng, we will draw up a document later and say that the three thousand civilians can move, but... the four counties will form a joint caravan and go south with the army in order to make a profit."
"Half of the profit goes to Shouchun and is used to build the Chi Road, the main road to Lingnan, and half goes to the four counties for their own purposes."
"At the same time, when the army is building the city, it must recruit local women and intermarry with them. If the soldiers stay in the city, they will be rewarded with acres of land and money."
Zhou Qing put down the paperwork in his hand and smiled slightly.
It is impossible to develop the land south of the Yangtze River in a short time, but no matter what, there will always be a start.
People's power is always a huge problem.
Looking at Ye Teng, he kept talking.
"Wu Zhenhou wants to rectify the entire Jiangnan first, and rectify the entire Jiangnan first?"
Have you stayed with Marquis Wu Zhen for many years? You are very clear about Marquis Wu Zhen's way of doing things, and you admire him even more? As for the four counties? Marquis Wu Zhen never interferes in the smallest details.
It is just a matter of gradually integrating the four counties into one.
Clean up the roads, water conservancy, mountains, forests, and fields in the four counties, and these are the places where time, energy, and financial resources are wasted.
In the past, when reorganizing the four counties, the focus was often on acres of land. How to produce more food was the focus.
How to expand the number of households under his command is the key.
Wu Zhenhou's move may seem irrelevant, but in fact, looking at the entire four counties, both the amount of grain and the level of merchants' commercial taxes are increasing year by year.
In this way, the four counties were fed back, which led to rapid development of the four counties.
No matter how hard it is to reward births, in just a few years, there have been one or two hundred thousand more newborns in the four counties.
That's proof.
Wen Wuzhenhou's argument about the land south of the Yangtze River is almost the same.
"The government, the government, takes the initiative to relocate the people? After all, it is somewhat passive. Let the people from the Zhuxia land take the initiative to go to Jiangnan? That is the general trend."
"How to get them to take the initiative to go there? There will naturally be something to attract them in Jiangnan? It just takes a long time."
"Even if it's long? I have to do it."
Zhou Qing stood up from behind the case and looked at Ye Teng.
According to the current momentum, it will take decades, or even a hundred years, for Jiangnan to truly develop.
In the early stage, setting up some of the most basic facilities will save you a lot of trouble in the future.
"Businessmen's pursuit of profit can reduce the amount of money invested by the government."
Ye Teng saluted.
In the Qin Dynasty, there were many places where money was needed, not to mention the vast land south of the Yangtze River that was not inferior to the Chu State.
Driving merchants to the south of the Yangtze River to share the profits can be done, and everything can be well controlled.
"If you want to completely bring the land south of the Yangtze River under your control, building a city is the first step, opening up the south of the Yangtze River is the second step, the magnificence of the Xia Dynasty enters the south of the Yangtze River, and the integration of Hunyuan is the third step."
"Deceptively simple."
"..., you first formulate a document with my words, and then send it to Shouchun. Shouchun is under a lot of pressure."
Zhou Qing sighed.
In fact, the land south of the Yangtze River is now a wilderness, with nothing in it except endless mountains and dense forests.
However, the land south of the Yangtze River had to be developed.
"Here."
Ye Teng nodded and saluted.
"Right."
"There is one more thing, which is a personal matter of this prince's."
"Immediately send a team of people, holding the seal of this Marquis, to the West Route Army and hand this document to him."
When his eyes fell on the map of the march of the West Road army, Zhou Qing remembered something again.
The army on the west route moved southward along Dongting and Yuan River. With their marching speed, they were not far from where the colorful phoenix was.
I told the colorful phoenix before that no one would disturb it.
It would be nice to turn dozens of miles in radius and hundreds of miles into a restricted area. With my current status, it is not difficult.
As he spoke, he returned to the case again, wrote the document with a pen, and stamped it.
"Here!"
Ye Teng nodded.
******
"General, according to the report from the scouts, King Yan is still staying in his palace in Xiangping City, unmoved."
"The soldiers and horses of the Yan Kingdom guarding the city are in constant readiness all day long, and their defense is empty."
More than a month was enough for Xin Sheng to march to the Liaodong area without daring to act rashly. He marched secretly and approached Xiangping.
On the one hand, they constantly dispatched scouts to inquire for information.
However, judging from the information he had inquired about again and again, Xin Sheng felt... as if King Yan had given up resistance.
He stayed in Xiangping City all day long, not going out, just drinking and having fun, and his body collapsed long ago.
As for the garrison outside the city, they are quite numerous, with sixty or seventy thousand remaining.
I thought it was a big obstacle, but...the soldiers were the same, they didn't train, they just stayed in the camp all day, either basking in the sun or sleeping.
There is a shortage of food and supplies!
Well, it is true that it would be very difficult to maintain the food and supplies of 60,000 to 70,000 people with all the things that King Yan Xi took away from Jicheng.
A large army cannot have enough food, grass and baggage, and it cannot have enough training.
Combat power!
One can imagine.
Although they claim to have 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers, they are probably just a bunch of scattered soldiers.
"Be careful of fraud."
"We will continue to move forward in secret."
"Military Sima, you lead 10,000 elite troops to the Prince's Mountain in the east of Xiangping City in a roundabout way."
"I personally led the troops to enter from the front. Half a month later, the city of Xiangping was unmoved. Then... we will attack from behind and attack the city of Xiangping."
"Capture King Yan!"
Xin Sheng said cautiously, he did not bring many troops on this trip and could not take risks. If the city of Xiangping was deceived, it would be over.
Looking at the map of Liaodong, he thought for a moment and then ordered to proceed.
Regardless of whether the city of Xiangping was deceitful or not, we should first besiege it. As expected, it was really vulnerable and the city was directly destroyed.
Capturing King Xi of Yan alive was also a great achievement.
"Yes, General!"
The army commander and other generals were also happy.
Stationed in the land of Yan, there has been no major war. If you want to obtain the most dazzling military achievements, there is only one thing - King Xi of Yan.
Fortunately, General Mingrui arrived before Wang Ben and led his troops to march eastward, otherwise, the military achievements would have been weakened.
"Hurry and prepare half a month's supply of food and grass, and leave tonight."
Xin Sheng laughed.
I was really looking forward to that result.
After the Battle of Yan and Zhao, he had been here all the time, while the other generals either guarded Wei and gained military exploits, or went south to Chu to gain military exploits.
General Li Xin, in particular, almost defeated the Chu State, which is really enviable. Although he suffered a slight defeat last year, the Chu State was still destroyed.
You can't fall behind either.
"Here!"
"..."
The Army Sima and the other generals each bowed and became even more joyful. They immediately left the military tent and prepared for the next important matter.
…
…
"The State of Qi has really mobilized its army to gather beside Cangshan Mountain, with no less than one hundred thousand soldiers."
"It is said that there may be an army of 150,000."
Pengcheng!
Bai Qianhong left the place where the army was stationed in Huainan, the land of Chu, and led an army of 100,000 people, mixed with infantry and cavalry, straight into the land of Surabaya.
According to what Wang Shu said, Tan County is also under the jurisdiction of the governor, but compared to Surabaya, Tan County is not a big problem.
Because Yang Duanhe's army has been sweeping back and forth several times.
One hundred thousand troops marched all the way, replenished on the spot, and stationed outside Pengcheng, where they stayed for more than seven days.
In the past few months, a lot of news came from all sides, and all of them fell into Bai Qianhong's hands. Many things turned out exactly as she imagined.
It is no longer a secret that Qi State secretly mobilized its army.
Lanling City, as a well-known city close to the Qi State, began to lose its previous calmness and began to experience a bit of chaos.
The land of Confucian Songhai in the east of Edom is getting quieter and quieter.
It seems quiet, but in fact, there are many people from the Eight Lineages of Confucianism in Lanling City, especially Confucian Yan Yan, Confucian Yang Kuanwen, etc.
The power in their hands is extremely important even within Confucianism.
Yingge was wearing navy blue light armor, with a capable and heroic appearance. After reading a document in his hand, he whispered calmly and looked at Bai Qianhong next to him.
"Cangshan Mountain is secretive, and it is difficult to find out the specific people and horses."
"The Qi State has an army of 400,000, and is adjacent to the Yishui River in the north. There are 100,000 soldiers and horses."
"There are close to 100,000 troops east of Wei. No matter how many soldiers and horses there are in Cangshan, they are at most between 100,000 and 150,000, not more."
"That is...the Qin troops stationed in Lanling City are afraid that they are in danger."
Bai Qian has red hair and a crown. He looks like a man. He is wearing light purple armor. Although it is not heavy armor, it is made of hundred-refined iron and is extremely tough.
The eyebrows are already delicate without makeup, the facial expression is calm, and every move shows no power of its own.
I have already read the documents in Ying Singer, and I have also sent orders and snares to find out as much as possible about the soldiers and horses in Cangshan.
But there has never been a more specific number.
In fact, I am not worried about the Qi soldiers and horses in Cangshan Mountain, but Lanling City... is in some danger.
Lanling City is not big, and the Qin army stationed in it is only three to five thousand, which is already a lot.
Sure enough, if Qi State wants to stop the Qin army from moving north, it must have a stronghold city, and that stronghold city is now obvious.
Only Lanling City meets this requirement.
Over the past few years, hundreds of families have gathered in Lanling City, which is already a harbinger. It is really... far-reaching.
To the east of Lanling City, there are mountains and rivers, and it is not far from the sea.
To the south, the waters of Tan County were covered with swamps, making it difficult for the army to march on land.
The only way is to enter from the land of Surabaya, capture Lanling City, pass through Cangshan Mountain in the north, and enter the land of Qi.
Or go eastward from the Wei area guarded by Yang Duan and Wei.
Or it can be moved from the north to the south by Yishui.
It's a pity that those places are not under our jurisdiction.
