Chapter 182

"Xue Rengui reported that the specialty of Xihai county is A-class sea fish and s-grade sea salt. In addition to building a saltern, sea salt can also be used to marinate fish. In addition, a shipyard can be built at the mouth of the local river to produce ocean going merchant ships for trade. Opposite Xihai county is the land in the south of Gaoli

The cool summer in charge of economy encouraged Chutian to occupy a port for the first time to exploit sea salt and develop foreign trade as soon as possible.

Maritime trade was very prosperous during the song and Yuan Dynasties, and even became an important financial source of the Southern Song Dynasty.

At present, shipping seems to have little effect, but in the later stage, whether it is used to transport grain and army, or to attack Korea and Japan, it needs a strong navy.

Chu Tian can train a horse Trooper of high rank in one year, but if he is given one year, he may not be able to form a navy with combat effectiveness.

It will take at least five or six years to prepare for the expedition across the Yellow Sea.

Chu Tian had already prepared: "you can buy drawings of salt yards, shipyards, docks and Navy camps from merchants and send them to Xihai county to arrange the construction of local officials."

"Do you need your subordinates to personally go to Xihai county to preside over the construction?"

"No, just stay in the Lord's house, or it will be inconvenient for me to use other people here."

Chu Tian arranged a group of officials to take over Xihai county.

"How many levels of buildings are needed for saltworks, shipyards, wharves, and Navy camps?"

"The saltworks use the most advanced drawings that can be bought. For shipyards, wharves, and Navy camps, four levels are enough."

Chu Tian knew little about the Navy.

The fourth class shipyard can produce wooden board ships (first-class civil ships), sentinel ships (second-class warships), Zouke (third-class warships), Pang (fourth-class warships), small-sized sand vessels (14 meters long, 2.7 meters wide, single mast hard sailing ships, used for coastal shipping along the river), and medium-sized sand vessels (17-21 meters long, 4.18-4.28 meters wide, twin masted hard sailing ships), which can basically meet the current demand.

The fourth level Navy battalion can recruit most of the common Navy arms. Unless it is a special Navy branch, it needs a higher Navy battalion.

A high-level Navy battalion can recruit not only high-level arms, but also more soldiers at a time. Level 1 barracks can recruit 100 soldiers at a time, and level 4 barracks can recruit 500 soldiers at a time.

The wharf can improve the probability of ships entering the port for replenishment on the route, and has a bonus to the port.

Chutian made a plan to turn Xihai County into a port city.

As for Xu Sheng, Chu Tian still stayed in Liangshan town to develop the Yi River Navy. The aim of Yihe River water division is to attack xiapicheng and control the Yihe River Basin.

Although the ships of Yihe River can not be transported to the Yellow Sea, the trained sailors, shipbuilders and navy soldiers can be sent to Xihai county.

Small and medium-sized wooden ships are not important, but sailors, soldiers and shipbuilders are important. Chutian can use the wood from coastal hills to build ships.

"The production of shipyards in Xixian county is mainly carried out by the government."

Considering that Chutian did not have the ability to fight at sea, the port of Xihai county was mainly for trade. In the future, Chutian could even consider traveling to Yangzhou, Korea and Japan to sell and buy goods.

Summer cool reminds: "Lord, you should set up a special salt and iron officer to control the salt and iron in each county."

Chu Tian did neglect it. Since he decided to monopolize salt and iron, it was natural to have special officials to manage it: "each county should set up a salt officer and an iron official, and another two salt and iron supervisors to prevent salt and iron officials from abusing their power for personal gain."

Chutian had to establish a monitoring mechanism.

There are two million people in seven counties, and there are thousands of officials in Chutian. If there is no supervision, it will easily lead to corruption.

"It's better to take advantage of this opportunity to establish a monitoring system, with Fang Xuanling, who assesses the performance of officials, to be responsible for it," he suggested. From time to time to carry out surprise inspection of officials. "

Chu Tian benefited a lot from her words.

At present, the official performance evaluation system of Langya state is one small examination every year and one major examination every three years.

This is a regular assessment.

The irregular assessment proposed by xialiang and Fang Xuanling should be carried out at the same time, which will effectively reduce corruption.

Chu Tian thought about it for a while: "you are the history of supervision, responsible for the establishment of a 30 person supervisory organization, and conduct surprise supervision on the officials of various departments from time to time. The supervisory organs are divided into two parts: the northern part has a temporary quota of 24 people, and the southern part has a temporary quota of 6 people to supervise the north. "

"Me?"

"The two assessment methods should be separated."

"Yes."

Summer cool thought of the hands of many things, leave to deal with.

Chu Tian added: "the supervision organization is only responsible to me."

He wants to keep the supervisory body firmly in his own hands.

This is why he asked xialiang's authority to be separated from Fang Xuanling's.

Fang Xuanling carried out regular performance appraisal on all officials, which was the self inspection of the Ministry of officials.

The supervision organization is in the hands of Chutian, and Chutian can check whoever he wants to check, even if he is charged with the crime of snaring his subordinates. This belongs to external monitoring.At the same time, there are self inspection organizations within the supervision organization.

Supervisory organizations have existed since ancient times to ensure the loyalty of officials and prevent corruption and bribery.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chutian set up the most basic supervision organization of Langya state.

At present, the officials of Langya state, after the baptism of war, did not dare to mess around for the time being, so they would not talk about it in the future.

Chu Tian also asked Xue Rengui's army to be called back, and Liu Yinli recruited 2000 soldiers to garrison there.

Xue Rengui also participated in the crusade against the Yellow turban army in Qingzhou, so he could not stay in Xihai county.

Xihai county did not dare to rebel, otherwise it would be attacked by the troops of six counties of Chutian at any time.

Chutian always stationed the elite troops in Xiacheng, and the troops of small counties ranged from 2000 to 5000, lacking the strength of rebellion.

In the summer, 30 officials were recruited to set up a supervision organization. Every month, one or two teams of supervisors were sent to each county for secret investigation, which made the officials in each county scared.

The ultimate person in charge of the supervision organization is truking. As long as truking wants to be convicted, the supervision organization will always find a reason.

Li Jie, the commander of Diannong, came to report after the summer was cool: "the demobilized Mountain Tai thieves have been assigned to the plain along the river in Kaiyang, Yangdu and Juxian counties. It is expected that all of them will be resettled before the spring equinox. A total of 100873 Taishan thieves were placed. In addition, a total of 21312 mountain bandits, remnants of the Xuzhou Huangjin army and their family members were captured for half a year, mainly in the nine towns of Hedong

Chu Tian didn't expect that there would be so many mountain bandits and ordinary mountain bandits. These people would become an important source of labor and troops in Langya state.

He estimated that the Qingzhou yellow turban army provided more labor than the Taishan bandits.

Li continued to report: "because Langya is relatively peaceful, the population flowing into Langya from Beihai and other places is as high as 20000 households. There are even refugees from Yanzhou and Jizhou

"Among them, those who had not been mountain bandits moved to Xiacheng and arranged for them to reclaim wasteland and open up wasteland."

Chu wanted more people to enter his territory.

This time he attacked the Yellow turban army in Qingzhou to rob population and cattle.

The Yellow turban army of Qingzhou plundered all over the country, while Chu Tian robbed them, righteously plundering the population of Qingzhou to Xuzhou.

Chutian re inspected the resources, and found grade 4 iron ore resources in Mengshan area of Yangdu County, and copper resources of grade 4 in wulianshan area of Juxian County.

The fourth grade natural resources are already very objective. As for the advanced natural resources, only special places can have them.

For example, Beihai fishing ground is a grade 10 marine fish resource, and Potosi silver mine is a grade 10 silver mine resource.

The grade of Jiaodong gold mine in Qingzhou is also very high, and Anshan Iron Mine is also famous.

Chutian has established five level mining sites in two places, each of which has about 2000 to 3000 miners, providing Chutian with copper and iron resources.

The importance of copper is needless to say. Copper money is the most basic unit of circulation in Lord, and it is also hard currency. Although the discussion between Chu Tian and the officials was more based on silver, the common people at the bottom still used copper coins.

Chutian can't issue paper money, which is worthless in troubled times and will only lead to inflation.

Iron ore resources are related to the production of weapons, farm tools and armor.

In addition to grade IV iron ore, grade IV copper mine and grade III gold mine, there are some scattered natural resources in Chutian's territory. As long as there are resources, Chutian will build mining sites to increase the output of resources as much as possible.

Fang Xuanling came in in in a hurry: "my Lord, it's not good. The Yellow turban army of Qingzhou has appeared at the junction of Langya state and Beihai state!"

"It seems that the Qingzhou yellow turban army intends to actively defend and burn the war to our Langya state. Let Zhou Yafu, Zang Ba, sun Guan guard the first line of defense, not to give Qingzhou yellow scarf opportunity. The Yellow turban army of Qingzhou wants to put pressure on the border and let them move. We will send troops in March according to the original plan. Huang Hualan's front cavalry should not be allowed to move in front of them

Chu Tian was not flustered by the actions of the Yellow turban army in Qingzhou. There were three generals guarding the first line of defense of Langya state, and Qingzhou yellow turban army could not break through.

The counties in the north of Langya state and Dongwu county were attacked by the Yellow turban army of Qingzhou. The Yellow turban army of Qingzhou invaded Langya state, and there were yellow turban and flags all over the mountains and fields!

Wu Sangui, who took refuge in Dourgen, rode on his horse and led 3000 yellow turban cavalry and 50000 yellow turban infantry as the vanguard of invading Langya state.

His understanding of the terrain and road of Langya made him highly valued by Guan Hai and Dourgen.

The Lords of Zhuxian and Dongwu counties were unable to resist the mighty yellow turban army and were easily destroyed by Wu Sangui.

County magistrate found that the city was all yellow scarf army, not from the scalp numb.

The number of the Yellow turban army was too large, just like locusts. Everywhere they went, even the bark was eaten up, the spring water was drained, and all the villages blocking the Yellow turban army were destroyed.

"County magistrate, there are only 5000 Han soldiers in our city, and at least 50000 or 60000 people outside the city. How can we keep it?"The generals of the counties saw the grasshopper troops below, and their palms were covered with sweat.

The number of the Yellow turban army is large, and their master does not care about the life of this group of cannon fodder at all. Every time they attack a city or territory, they use the sea of men tactics.

The rank of the Yellow turban army in Qingzhou is not low, because the governor of Qingzhou and the Prime Minister of Beihai have always sent heads to the army, which leads to the fact that the combat effectiveness of the Yellow turban army in Qingzhou is far better than that of other states.

The counties were still under the control of the Han Dynasty, and the magistrates of Zhucheng were in charge of them.

"Immediately recruit the villagers to defend the city and ask for help from Langya state! There are strangers in the city. They may be able to contact the Minister of Langya

The order of Zhucheng quickly recruited the residents of the city to defend the city. Tens of thousands of brave villagers and free players had to come to the city wall to defend the city.

Once captured by the Yellow turban army, all their property and food will be looted. Therefore, we must not let the Yellow turban army of Qingzhou break the city!

Qingzhou yellow turban army captured no less than 15 counties in Qingzhou!

Chu Tian was officially appointed by the court as the Prime Minister of Langya state, and also his nominal superior. When the counties were attacked, it was reasonable and reasonable to ask Chu Tian for help.

"The Yellow turban army of Qingzhou has begun to attack the city!"

The garrison exclaimed. In the square array of 50000 yellow scarf infantry, hundreds of ladders were lifted out, and the yellow scarf commander of elite arms was supervising the battle in the rear to maintain the morale!

Due to the joining of Dourgen and Wu Sangui, the Yellow turban army is undergoing transformation. They have special attack teams, supervision teams, partner soldiers and transport teams.

The only constant is that Dourgen and Wu Sangui still take them as cannon fodder and use the sea of men tactics to attack the city.

"Prepare fire arrows and kerosene, and never let them climb the wall!"

The county magistrate of Zhuxian county was anxious and used the fire arrow team.

Villages and towns are easy to attack, but the county can stop the Yellow turban army for a period of time as long as the defense of the county is proper.

Wu -

the bleak sound of the horn reverberates in the battlefield, and yellow banners are waving. As the first batch of siege troops, more than ten thousand yellow turban troops rush to the cities like tides!

Wu Sangui reined his horse and squinted at the bridgehead in the north of Langya.

Capture the cities, and then to the south, it is the Juxian County that made him sink.

Zhucheng is not in the sphere of influence of Chutian, because Zhucheng is too close to the sphere of influence of Qingzhou Huangjin army. If you occupy Zhucheng, you will face the pressure brought by Qingzhou Huangjin army.

Tens of thousands of yellow turban troops launched attacks on the cities. The garrison rockets of the city walls were fired in unison. The flaming fire arrows destroyed the Yellow turban army's ladder, and black smoke billowed.

The Yellow turban army in Qingzhou fell into madness, and the defenders defending the cities also fell into madness.

The Yellow turban army will burn, kill and plunder. For their own property and life, the garrison of the cities must guard the walls! The wall is the only barrier to block the sea of people!

The fire arrows of the garrison played an important role. Many of the ladders were on fire, and the speed of the Yellow turban army's attack on the city slowed down. However, the Yellow turban army began to use a lot of manpower to dig tunnels to destroy the foundation of the city wall.

"Did the Minister of Langya respond? We can't hold on to it! "

Faced with the incessant attacks of the Yellow turban army, the county magistrate of Zhuxian county was on the verge of collapse at any time.

"The Prime Minister of Langya state has been contacted by a stranger. The Prime Minister of Langya has sent a light cavalry to rush for 1200 Li, which can be reached in eight days."

"So fast?"

County magistrate of Zhuxian county was very glad to hear the news. On the 8th, the army was forced to March 1200 Li, which was a terrible speed.

When the garrison of Zhuxian County learned that there was reinforcements, their morale was greatly improved and their determination to defend them was strengthened.

Two Black Hawks hovered in the air. Hua Mulan led the cavalry day and night, and was ordered to delay Wu Sangui's invasion of Langya.
