Chapter 406: The Three Cities of the Prairie
Two days later, in the brilliant, tall and majestic Chaotian Hall, all officials gathered, wearing a royal robe, and Yuan Xigao, wearing a crown, sat on the golden dragon throne.
"King, after this battle, the two tribes have been completely controlled by our army. The Eight Banners system is rapidly underway. Now our territory is vast and extraordinary. From Goguryeo to the east, the four Han soldiers are powerful, and from the west to Anding, it can destroy Xiliang, from Qingzhou to the east sea in the south, shock Xuzhou, and from Langjuxu Mountain to worship the spirit of the champion Hou." Li Ru, who stood first, stood up and reported loudly.
The officials in the hall immediately showed a look of pride. The current territory of Dayan is incomparable to any prince in the world.
Yuan Xi smiled and nodded, saying, "This is all the diligence of all the ministers, and the glory of Dayan cannot be separated from your efforts."
"Thank you" the ministers politely said.
"Right Prime Minister" Yuan Xi shouted softly to Tian Feng, who had already gone to court again. Although Tian Hao escaped from the hands of the Huns, he has not found it now. Yuan Xi was once worried that Tian Feng would fall ill again, but fortunately, Tian Feng finally survived.
"I'm here"
"The grassland seems to be deserted, but in fact there are still many resources to collect, among which war horses are one. If you want to completely take the grassland into your arms, you must immigrate to Zhucheng. How are you preparing for the grassland casting plan that you discussed a few days ago?" Yuan Xi asked.
"After discussing the discussion between the King, Shangshutai and the Privy Council, it was decided to build three cities in Yuwuhe, Cherlago Grassland and Saiyindashan, respectively, to form a corner, to cooperate with Yunzhong County, and to control the entire grassland," Tian Fenghui reported.
"What are you going to do?" Yuan Xi asked.
"The Shangshutai has calculated that in order to complete the plan completed by the king within two years, it was decided to transfer 30,000 Goguryeo people, 60,000 Huns and Xianbei people. After the other four Koreans are controlled, they will also transfer 30,000 people to build three cities, a total of 100,000 people," Tian Fenghui reported.
"It's very good, just use this to handle it and speed up," Yuan Xi reminded.
"No!" Tian Feng replied.
Yuan Xi smiled slightly and said, "When there is a city, the next thing is to move people over. Shangshu Ling, what are your countermeasures?"
He could have these slaves built the city, and no matter how much the losses were, he would not feel distressed. However, it would be more troublesome to let the people of Dayan leave their hometown and the grassland ahead. Although with his current prestige, he could directly order it, it would be better to be willing to do so.
"Reported to the King, the Shangshutai decided that anyone who was willing to immigrate would be given houses, cattle and horses, and exempted from taxes for two years. In addition, Zhuge Sinong suggested that the King's honorary soldiers be sent out to station 100 people to three cities and extend their descendants," Han Yan stood up and said.
"Xun Soldier" Yuan Xi frowned and said, "Kong Ming, tell me the reason, Xun Soldiers have made great contributions to Dayan."
Standing under Han Yan, Zhuge Liang, who is now a farmer in charge of finance and in charge of property management in various places, stood up and said seriously: "Report to the king, there will inevitably be a lot of turmoil in the past when immigrants are. If everything depends on officials, it will inevitably be unsupported. The heroes are the most loyal and bravest men of Da Yan, and they also have a great prestige in the hearts of the people. If they can go through it, one shows that the king attaches importance to the three cities in the grassland, two can serve as examples, and their guiding roles, three can also better pass the initial period, and four can lay a certain guarantee for the safety of the three cities."
Yuan Xi thought for a while and said, "Okay, that's the decision. Send a hundred honorary soldiers over, Ju Hu!"
"I'm here" Ju Hu immediately stood up.
"You are in charge of the Audit Department and control the meritorious soldiers in various places, and you will arrange the candidates," Yuan Xi ordered.
"I obey the order" Ju Hu responded.
"King, the three cities do not have names yet, please give them a name," Han Yan said with his fist.
"Haha" Yuan Xi smiled and said, "This orphan has long been thought about, and it is called Guihua, Suiyuan, and Ulan. What do you think!"
The ministers "The King of Kings are wise" immediately praised that the name is just a title and has little meaning.
"King, in addition to building cities and immigrating, there is also an arrangement for the management of grasslands. In the past, it was fine if it was just Wuhuan, but now the entire grassland belongs to my Dayan. It must be managed in a unified manner. Should we directly surrender to the states, set up a protective palace, or re-divided into one area," Tian Feng asked.
"The grassland is too big, and it is too pressured to hand it over to the various prefectures. As for the Protectorate, it is even more inappropriate. The grassland is not the countries in the Western Regions. There is no need for this. I can separate it separately. At present, there are three cities, but this is only a preliminary stage. There will definitely flourish in the future. Not to mention other things, the scenery of the grassland is worthy of appreciation. I will go to visit the Langjuxu Mountain in the future to worship the Champion Marquis, not to mention the Eight Banners there to manage it. So from today on, we will set up Yunzhong County as the starting point, wrap the entire area in, and officially separate it from the various prefectures." Yuan Xi waved his hand and announced.
"No!" Tian Feng responded and said curiously: "Who is the governor of Yunzhong Prefecture and the general of the army."
Hearing this, a hint of excitement appeared on the faces of many officials who were upward. Although this Yunzhong Mansion is not as good as the other three mansions, it is obvious that it has great potential and is definitely a coveted position.
Yuan Xi glanced at it and said with a smile: "This is not yet confirmed. The three departments of Shangshutai, Privy Council and Military Department have a good discussion and report it to the orphan."
"No!" Tian Feng, Li Ru and Pang Tong responded at the same time.
"I will talk about this first. Let me discuss another thing about population growth. I read the memorial of Shangshutai. I followed Emperor Gaozu. Any woman who has not yet married at the age of fifteen will receive a capita tax. This can indeed make people's population soar, but it is too strict. I set this age to the age of eighteen. To increase the population does not necessarily start with women, but men can do it too! Anyone who gives birth to four children will be rewarded. Now Yunzhong Prefecture controls large areas of grassland, land, and cattle and sheep, and there are no fear of being rewarded." Yuan Xi said softly. When he read the plan, he was surprised. At the age of fifteen, he was not a man in his previous life. It was a bit unreasonable to destroy women like this, and Dayan has not yet reached that point.
"The king is kind and love, and I immediately ordered the Shangshutai to modify it." Han Yan said again.
"Okay" Yuan Xi nodded with satisfaction.
After going to court, Yuan Xi summoned the central ministers together in the Huagai Hall.
"Although I, Dayan, defeated the two tribes, I don't mean that I can rest assured. Not only has the Eight Banners of the two tribes been successfully formed, but the road to unification is also far from the road to unification. You must always remind the people below to be slackened and lazy," Yuan Xi said seriously.
"promise!"
"Kong Ming, we have consumed a lot of food, grass and money in this battle!" Yuan Xi asked.
"Report to the king, there are many. After all, there are nearly 200,000 people who have been mobilized, and the money is okay. The key is food and grass. If the food and grass are used normally, it is probably impossible to hold on if the war starts again. What's more, the construction of the three grassland cities also requires some of it," Zhuge Liang replied softly.
Looking at Yuan Xi's face suddenly with a hint of worry, Li Ru clasped her fists and said, "Are you really worried about that Cao Sikong?"
"Yes, Cao Cao is a hero. If he knew this, he would definitely seize this opportunity to expand his strength," Yuan Xi frowned.
"The king is worried. The real battle may be short of food and grass, but it is still okay to scare Cao Cao a few times," Pang Tong said with a smile.
Sima Yi next to him immediately shook his head and said seriously: "My father was once an official in Xudu. I know Cao Cao's question very well. It is absolutely not enough to be scared alone. He himself has a spirit of adventure."
"Zhongda is right, he cannot keep any fantasies about Cao Cao," Yuan Xi nodded.
"Report to the King, Commander Zhang asked for a visit." At this time, Zheng Chun ran in and reported.
