Tanzhou, Fucheng, Fengji.

Tan Wangfu wants to completely maintain the rule of Tanzhou, it must recruit troops, after all, Tanzhou is not like other places, there is such an exception as the Xingwu Army, as long as the Xingwu Army is there, Tan Wangfu can not relax, 20,000 troops who obey the orders of the imperial court are not only a great threat to Zhou Shaoyu, but also for Tan Wangfu.

That's why Feng Ji thought that it was best to let the imperial court take back the Xingwu army.

They don't know for the time being, today's Chenghui has completely fallen into the hands of Zhou Shaoyu, according to the normal development, stabilized Tanzhou, then the next step, naturally is to start with Chenghuizhou, which is no matter what, and build Chenghui into a logistics base, so Xingwu Army is definitely an eyesore.

After continuous recruitment, the army that directly obeyed the orders of Tanwangfu has now reached the scale of 10,000 people, which is the benefit of the name, and Tanzhou is indeed not as short of population as Chenghuizhou, and Tanwangfu is not short of money, don't look at the time is not long, it is easy to break 10,000.

However, Feng Ji, who was inspecting the army, was very dissatisfied, without him, no matter how you look at it, it is a rabble, although the armament is not complete, and even the clothing is not unified, but it is just one word, chaos! Such an army, I am afraid, is barely a city at most, and as for external attacks, there is no hope at all.

"What did the Qin family say?" Looking at the drills of the Tan Wangfu army, Feng Ji frowned, turned her head and asked the commander of the Tan Wangfu guards beside her.

The Qin family is also one of the Great Liang Generals, but it is the kind that has declined, and it is not the existence of one of the several Great Generals' Mansions, and the army under its control is pitiful. But after all, it is a general's gate that has been inherited for many years, and in any case, it has a little bit of the ability to lead troops, and it is naturally the best object for Tanwangfu, which is in dire need of generals.

"This ...... The Qin family did not make a clear statement, but ......" hesitated for the commander.

"But what, just say what you have!" Feng Ji said impatiently, don't look at her as a little woman in front of Zhou Shaoyu, but Zaitan Wangfu, its rights are not small at all, and she is fully qualified to call others.

"The Qin family has a daughter who is very interested in leading troops and is willing to serve the Tan Palace." The commander of the guards had no choice but to say truthfully, but what he thought in his heart was not good to say, after all, Feng Ji was also a woman.

"Woman?" Feng Ji's brow furrowed even deeper.

As a woman, Feng Ji does not rule out promoting women to politics and even leading soldiers. Not to mention anything else, in her intelligence, Gao Xiujun, who occupies Jingxian County, Chenghuizhou, is also from the Gao family, but he does have some ability, so it is not a problem for men and women, the important thing is his own ability.

It's just that after all, the current environment is still the way of men, and last time, Zhou Shaoyu's poetry will recruit a few talented women to enter the Tan Wangfu as officials, but the effect is not ideal. Second, he was also ostracized by other male officials. So the end result is very unsatisfactory.

And leading troops is more important than political affairs. After all, whether it is a soldier or a general, all of them are men, and a woman directly becomes a general, not only responsible for training the troops, but even leading them to fight.

"In the past, I can call the shots for her five hundred people to try, do a good job, Tan Wangfu doesn't mind reuse. In short, be sure to convey the past to the Qin family, I am the palace of the king, and I am thirsty for talent. Feng Ji pondered for a moment, and finally decided that without him, it was really the Tan Wangfu that there was really no talent to lead troops.

"Whoa." The commander of the guards clenched his fists and received his orders.

After looking at it for a while, Feng Ji returned home disappointed, began to draft a fold, and proposed to the imperial court, to be precise, to Gao Yuyao, who was the queen mother, to transfer the Xingwu army from Tanzhou. As long as the Xingwu army is transferred out of Tanzhou, even if the army of Tanwangfu is rubbish, with the advantage of numbers and armaments, it should not be a problem to attack Chenghuizhou, once it can take Chenghuizhou and make it a back garden, Tanwangfu will also have greater capital to peek into the world.

Although there are not many people in Chenghuizhou, and the output and taxes are limited, don't forget that further south of Chenghuizhou is the territory of the Miao family, and the profits generated by its annual trade with Daliang are enough to feed more troops. Even if you don't monopolize it, just setting up checkpoints to forcibly pay taxes is a big deal, and the sooner you occupy Chenghuizhou, the thicker the foundation you can save.

Similarly, Zhou Shaoyu also thought of this, but he took the completely opposite route.

Setting up cards to forcibly collect taxes can certainly increase a lot of income, but it will also block a lot of small caravans from passing through Chenghuizhou.

Zhou Shaoyu is ready to continue to absorb the displaced people from the north, in other words, Zhou Shaoyu is chasing stable development, and the development of a place, how to get rich with agriculture alone. Anyway, today's Chenghui Prefecture can be described as a lack of materials, and many things are bought with money, but they have nothing to sell.

Therefore, attracting businessmen to buy and sell is the top priority, and with the development of Chenghuizhou, Zhou Shaoyu will make more profits in the real sense.

For example, the head of a small village in the island country did not set an entry tax under his smelting, and any merchant traded freely, so that the smelting continued to trade, and it became the top commercial center of the island country at that time, and the wealth of the people was far beyond other places, and then it was in line with an old Chinese saying, hiding wealth from the people. Only then did it gradually become more and more capital to buy flintlock pistols to form a gun team, and then advance towards the ambition of the world's armed forces.

In short, the agriculture of Chenghuizhou, because Zhou Shaoyu brought a lot of high-yield seeds that are not available here, basically don't worry, then there is only business, once the business develops, and absorbs enough displaced people, then at that time, Chenghui is the real rear, money, food, food, people! Zhou Shaoyu will never do anything about killing chickens and taking eggs.

Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries and ascended the throne as the emperor and became the first emperor, which is powerful enough, but in Zhou Shaoyu's opinion, the reason why the huge Qin Dynasty fell so quickly was really because of tyranny? Otherwise.

With the overall social uniform at that time, most of the resources of the society were in the hands of the nobles of various countries, and there were very few ways for commoners to get ahead, and the Qin Dynasty changed the law, how many ordinary people without roots rose? And the soundness of the legal system of the Qin Dynasty, if it is really studied in depth, is enough to amaze anyone.

Why was the Qin Dynasty extremely powerful when it had not invaded abroad, and its domestic growth was increasing day by day, but after destroying one country after another, it accelerated its demise?

Of course, there is national hatred, and there is also the dissatisfaction of the nobles of various countries, but more often than not, Qin Shi Huang was too eager.

The implementation of any system takes time, and the Qin Dynasty changed the law, and there was enough time to lay the foundation and gradually change. And once a certain country is destroyed and the harsh system called by the Qin State is forcibly implemented, then the consequence is that not only the original nobles of various countries are dissatisfied, but even the people at the bottom are dissatisfied, what else can you do if you don't oppose it?

This is enough to show the importance of steady progress.

Although the Liang is in chaos now, the heritage is still there, and the people's sense of belonging is also there, in the final analysis, it has not really reached the point where complete civil strife is enough to confirm the demise of the Liang after all. Therefore, Zhou Shaoyu is not in a hurry at all, and he can build a good foundation, so that he can have a greater grasp of the competition for the world in the future.

Look at the Three Kingdoms, someone Cao is a hero, such a heroic character, has not been unified all his life, and he is not in a hurry.
