I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Southland, located in the north of Mingzhou, is not an area within Mingzhou, but Nanzhou under the rule of Great Rome.

It’s just the beginning of the kingship of various places, and changes have also taken place in the South.

The territory of the southern country is even broader.

The resources in its territory are also richer.

The king of the Southern Kingdom, named Wang Tan, was originally from the clan of Great Rome. He was in the clan of the former Nanzhou, and he was the official general of Zhennan. But Wang Qin was not satisfied with this. After the turmoil of the world, Wang Qin directly rebelled and killed the state shepherd in Nanzhou in the past. Then he became the king of himself and became the king of the south.

Wang Tan himself is extremely shrewd, not a mediocre master. He even governed the southern country, reduced taxes, amnesty the world, pardoned countless criminals, and allowed countless people to return home and reunite with their families.

Wang Tan has a high prestige in southern China.

The strength of Southland is also extremely strong.

Wang Tan’s temperament is also calm, he is not at all anxious to expand. The world has just begun turmoil, and it is not known what will happen in the future. Therefore, the strategy Wang Qin adopts now is to stabilize himself and develop his strength.

This is a very good suggestion.

This is exactly what makes the Southern Kingdom under Wang Qin’s rule, the strength of the South China is rapidly increasing. You must know that in the earliest days, the overall strength of the South Kingdom was incomparable to the Ming Kingdom, but now, the strength of the South Kingdom has surpassed that of the Ming Kingdom.

On this day, Wang Tan is discussing matters with the prime minister.

The prime minister of the South is named Wuyoudao.

This person used to be Wang Tan’s staff. It can be said that Wang Tan’s strategies for governing the country were almost entirely out of the question. Wuyou Dao has strategy and ability, while Wang Tan is not suspicious of employing people, and the emperor and his ministers benefit each other.

Wu Youdao said solemnly: “Majesty, the minister, the main busy thing during this period is to check the population. At present, the population of my southern country has been checked. The population is about 130,000. This is about 130,000. The number of people is still a little insufficient. The area is large and sparsely populated. Many land is controlled, and the population is still unable to increase on a large scale. So at the moment, the minister believes that reforms should be made and changes should be made to further enhance our strength. “

Wang Tan said: “The prime minister thinks, what should we do?”

Wu Youdao said: “The minister thinks that there are generally five aspects to this matter. To proceed.”

“Five aspects?”

Wang Tan was also a little surprised after hearing this.

Because this thing is obviously not simple.

Of course, Wang Tan is also 100% in favor of increasing the population. Wanting to further enhance the strength of Nanguo, or even, wanting Nanguo to truly dominate one side in the future, and to base itself in troubled times, this is the long-term way.

If you don’t develop population, that won’t work.

It is the rootless Ping.

Wang Tan suppressed the surprise in his heart, said solemnly: “Prime Minister, what are the five aspects? The first time you speak, this king is also a little shocked.”

Wu Youdao said: “First, the king releases the palace ladies and allows the extra palace ladies to leave the palace. After all, there are many palace ladies in the palace at the moment, so there is no need to keep so many people. The king is a country. As an example, the people of the world will be grateful for the king’s kindness, and the people’s hearts will be more stable.”

Wang Tan thought about it after hearing it, and said: “Alright!”

He has always been indifferent to wealth, even more how, the palace ladies in the palace release a group of them to go home. It has a big impact on his palace, not at all.

Wuyou said: “Great King is wise!”

Wang Qin stroked his beard under his jaw and said: “There is nothing wise or not, this is what should be done. After the establishment of our southern country, now we must be in order to the people. With people, my southern country will naturally stand tall. If it is the other way round, it would be a big mistake to think that with the southern country, there will be people.”

Wu Youdao said: “The strategy of the king is rare in the world, and it is also a hero. The king is like this. In the future of our southern country, we will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the world and even further sweep the universe.”

“hahaha…”

Wang Tan couldn’t help laughing after hearing this.

He seemed quite proud.

You must know that Wuyoudao has always been calm and seldom praised like this. Today’s utter remarks also made Wang Tan applaud, thinking this is an excellent thing.

After Wang Qin smiled, his conversation turned, and he said, “Prime Minister, let’s talk about the second point.”

Wu Youdao became serious and said: “Second, Imperial The Court issued an order that the 18th woman would not marry, and the Imperial Court directly intervened and selected a candidate for marriage. The original plan of the minister was to think that he could be younger and marry the 16th person, but after considering that it was too harsh, It is easy to cause problems. Therefore, a rule is set, 18 will not marry, and the Imperial Court will directly interfere. This arrangement makes women marry early and cannot stay in the boudoir.”

Wang Qin said: “It’s right!”

Wu Youdao said again: “Third, the Imperial Court issued an order. As long as the third child is born and he is one year old, the government will give three hundred grains. Jin, a sheep as an additional reward. Doing so is to encourage childbirth. Today, in my southern country, there is a vast land and sparsely populated areas. If people can give birth to more children, the population can increase rapidly in the future. Even a fourth , The fifth child, the government will give awards.”

Wang Tan said: “Prime Minister, why don’t you give the awards when you give birth to the child? Instead, you have to wait until you reach the first year of age. Recognition.”

Wu Youdao said: “My lord, the hearts of the people are unpredictable. Many children are born, and the children are small and difficult to raise. Therefore, in order for the children to grow up, certain conditions must be given. Before one year old, it’s easy to have all kinds of illnesses. If there is a little illness, the child may be gone. After one year old, the child is more likely to grow up.”

Wang Tan’s face is more He smiled, and praised: “The prime minister is very considerate, very thorough, yes, yes!”

Wuyou said: “The king is overwhelmed.”

Wang Tan said: “What about the fourth point? “

In Wu Youdao’s eyes, there is a touch of brilliance, said solemnly: “The fourth point, starting from the third child, gave birth to a girl. In terms of the third condition, the government again Two extra commendations.” After Wang Qin heard this, he thought carefully in his heart, and he immediately understood. He nodded and said: “The prime minister’s consideration is indeed meticulous. Women are in the local area, many people Don’t wait to see. However, women cannot be separated from having children. Therefore, the government gives preferential treatment to allow more women to grow up. In the future, after we marry, we will have children and we will have a sad population. Further growth.”

Wu Youdao said: “That’s what it means.”

Wang Tan said: “Where’s the fifth?”

Wu Youdao said solemnly: “Fifth, it is tax relief. Whenever a farmer has a fifth child, and the youngest child is also one year old, he can be exempted from domestic corvee. This is the greatest incentive.”

After Wang Tan heard that, I couldn’t help but laughed, and said, “The prime minister, the prime minister, you have tried so hard to encourage the people to have children, but you have broken your heart! “

Wu Youdao said: “This is nothing we can do. Our southern country is very sparsely populated and has a serious shortage of population. Regarding the issue of the southern country’s territory, under the current circumstances, it is perfectly fine to accommodate at least 800,000 people. If our population can exceed half a million, then for our southern country, the overall strength can more than double. Population is the most critical and a major issue restricting our development. “

Paused, Wu Youdao said with emotion: “Unfortunately, the world is in chaos, and the population control in various places is extremely strict, and the people are prohibited from leaving at will. Therefore, it is basically impossible to get people from other places. Therefore, in the present moment, we can only rely on ourselves for everything. “

Wang Tan nodded and said: “The prime minister is reasonable, you can arrange this matter, and this king will fully cooperate. “

“Report! “

At this moment, Court Eunuch entered.

After Court Eunuch stood still, he reported: “Reporting to the king, a man named Lan Jiu came out of the city.” Really, claiming to be the Prime Minister of the Huo Country, came to the Southern Kingdom by the order of the King of the Huo Country. “

Wang Tan instructed: “Xuan! “

Court Eunuch got the order and turned around to inform.

Wang Tan turned and looked towards Wu Youdao and said: “Prime Minister, if I remember correctly. Lan Jiuzhen was the eldest brother-in-law of Gulha in Ming State, and he was also very powerful in Ming State. He has now become the prime minister of the fire country. “

Wu Youdao said: “My lord, this is something that can’t be helped. Earlier news came back that Ming State had been destroyed and Gulha had died. Therefore, it is not uncommon for Lan Jiuzhen to be in Huo Nation now. “

Wang Qin nodded.

He remembered it, Wu Youdao mentioned it before, but Wang Qin didn’t take seriously at all.

He didn’t pay attention. .

After all, the war between Southern Mingguo and Xia Country has nothing to do with his Southern country. As long as Gulha and Du Qi do not intervene in the Southern country and actively invade, then Wang Tan will not attack.

It’s not a long time, and Lan Jiuzhen is already stepping in.

Lan Jiuzhen is dressed in fine clothes and a big shirt with a bo collar. He saw Queen Wang and looked at nothing. Dao, then said: “Fire country envoy Lan Jiuzhen, pay homage to His Royal Highness Nan Wang. “

Wang Tan said: “Lan Jiuzhen, what position do you hold in Huo Nation now?” “

Lan Jiuzhen said: “He is the prime minister. “

Wang Qin nodded, in his heart he praised Chen Can for his courage. After he won Lan Jiuzhen, he dared to be directly appointed as the prime minister and handed over the government affairs to Lan Jiuzhen. He did have some courage.

p>

Wang Tan said solemnly: “You are here now by Chen Can’s order, what’s the matter? “

Lan Jiuzhen said: “Under the order of my king, I specially came to form an alliance with the Southern King, and then discussed the joint deployment of troops to attack Xia Country Du Qi. “

After Wang Tan heard this, he thought about it.

Attack Du Qi?

Lan Jiuzhen saw that Wang Tan hadn’t spoken yet, so he said again: “Du Qi is very aggressive and very vicious. He was a businessman in Fushan County early in the morning, but in a short time, he took Songyang County and Jingyang County. Even now, even Ming Guo has been captured. The Xia Country he established is to continue to expand. “

“I can even conclude that his next step is to attack either the southern country or the fire country. “

“The so-called preemptive strike. “

“So my king arranged to go to the south, hoping to promote the alliance between the two countries. Then, we work together to encircle Du Qi’s Xia Country. “

Lan Jiuzhen said solemnly: “Whether it is my fire country or the southern country, they are all extremely powerful. If we both send troops at the same time, Du Qi’s Xia Country will inevitably be unstoppable and will inevitably be divided. When the time comes, Du Qi will be divided between you and us. “

Wang Tan’s heart is very calm.

not at all because of his interests, he has a special heart, because he has always been a calm temper.

Wang After Qin thought about it, he had a plan in his mind, and said: “Prime Minister Lan, it is very important at this time, and it is also related to my southern country’s national policy. So now, I have to think about it and discuss it with my subordinates. Reply again. You go down to rest, this king has discussed the result, and then tells you again, what do you think? “

Lan Jiuzhen said: “As it is! “

Wang Qin immediately called the soldiers, and asked them to take Lan Jiuzhen down to rest.

Wang Qin looked towards Wu Youdao and said: “Prime Minister, this matter you What do you think? “

Wu Youdao said: “My lord, Rong Chen thinks about it.” “

Wang Qin nodded, without urging, he waited quietly. After all, at the moment, it depends on what kind of analysis Wu Youdao gives before making a decision.

After a long while, Wu Youdao said: “My lord, about this matter, the minister has roughly thought about it, and found that we are facing the following three situations at the moment, we can choose from. Therefore, the minister first analyzed it. “

Wang Tan said: “Please tell me, Prime Minister. “

What he values ​​most about Wuyoudao is Wuyoudao’s analysis of the situation, with no details, and the analysis is extremely clear.

Wuyoudao has sharp eyes and said: “First, When Lan Jiuzhen came to ask for help, we naturally agreed directly. So, that’s what Lan Jiu really described, we team up to deal with Xia Country. “

Wang Tan said: “What about the second? “

Wu Youdao said: “Secondly, that is that we ignore it and watch the changes for the time being, and just ignore ourselves. If the blue nine are really united, then let go, ignore the fire country. “

Wang Tan said: “What about the third? “

In Wu Youdao’s eyes, a light flashed, said solemnly: “Third, we did the opposite, and in turn united Xia Country’s Du Qi to directly deal with the fire country. “

Wang Tan was shocked when he heard this analysis, and he deserves to be his counselor.

This analysis of Wu Youdao is really bold.

Wang Qin said: “Prime Minister, which choice do you prefer? “

Wu Youdao replied: “Reporting back to the king. Regarding this matter, the minister believes that Du Qi from Xia Country is indeed not easy to deal with and extremely powerful. Such a person is actually not suitable as an enemy at the moment. Because we are fighting with Du Qi right now, I don’t think that even if we add the fire country, it may not be able to wipe out Du Qi. The simple truth is that Ming Kingdom was directly wiped out, showing its strength. “

“Furthermore, the previous news is that the Fire Nation once sent tens of thousands of troops to aid Gulha. The end result is that Chen Can’s own troops have also been lost. Not only did he not help, not only did he not get the benefits, but instead caused a lot of trouble. “

“From this battle alone, we can see the strength of Du Qi. “

Wu Youdao said: “So to deal with such a person, you either do not take action, or you temporarily maintain the relationship. The two sides maintain a peaceful relationship. As for what the future looks like, it depends on their respective developments and capabilities. “

“So, I tend to unite Du Qi. “

“At the same time attack the fire country. “

“Further, strive to divide the power of the fire country, and further enhance our strength. After all, for us, the steady development right now is most suitable. “

Wu Youdao said: “Great King, this is the consideration of the minister. But how to choose, how to decide, still needs His Highness to decide, after all, this is what His Highness is good at. “

Wang Tan was nodded when he heard it.

He weighed it in his heart.

Which one to choose?

Obviously, change is not the most suitable strategy, because it will get nothing. Once Du Qi extinguishes the fire country, then Du Qi’s strength will increase too much, so Wang Qin’s intervention is required.

Wang Tan’s intervention is not suitable for Du Qi for the time being. It is best to get a share of the pie.

Wang Tan thought about it for a while and said: “Prime Minister, just adopt your strategy. But since we have adopted such a strategy, how should we arrange it? “

Wu Youdao said: “Small Official is willing to personally walk through Xia Country Hongshan County to visit Du Qi. The first is to bring Lan Jiuzhen over to show his sincerity; the second is to unite the two parties; and the third is to take this opportunity to test Du Qi and observe Du Qi’s overall strength. After all, if you haven’t personally observed it, you don’t know the situation. “

Wang Tan thought for a while and said, “Since this is the case, then we must consider the fate of offending Huo Nation.” Therefore, this matter will be carried out in secret for the time being and cannot be arranged immediately. At the very least, you must be able to unite with Du Qi before you can hand over the person to reveal the true news of Lan Jiu. “

Wu Youdao nodded and said: “The king is relieved, the minister understands. “

Wang Tan said: “Since the prime minister has an idea, make arrangements earlier. My king, waiting for your good news. “

“The minister retire! “

Wu Youdao immediately got up and left.

After all, he is the prime minister and is responsible for many things. If he wants to leave now, he must first hand over the government affairs in his hand. All arrangements are made to go to Xia Country.

As for Lan Jiuzhen, it can only be imprisoned.
