Chapter 767

Now everyone's mind is wondering who should manage the North County, and the premise is that the territory of the Western Chu state cannot be controlled by the eastern Wan and the southern Wei Dynasty. But even Nangong Qing couldn't think of a good way for a moment. He couldn't think of who the courtiers should send to take care of this huge land.

Beijun is the predecessor of North Vietnam. In addition to the main city Lingxi, there are 36 cities and counties. It is the appearance of a country. Even if it belongs to the Western Chu for the time being, it will not be reduced by half. However, if the West Chu is mismanaged, it is likely to be coveted by the nearby Dongwan, so we have to be careful.

Nangong Qing's favorite candidate is naturally Nalan night, but Nalan night didn't hesitate to refuse the jealous position of everyone. He couldn't think of who else to choose.

"Your Majesty, what is the reason why it is difficult for Beijun to appoint officials?" Luo qingluan asked, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Nangong Qing had thought about this for a long time and said, "although Beijun is now subordinate to the Western Chu, it is not a city at all. A piece of land is as simple as a country. It is not easy to manage. Moreover, it is far away from the Western Chu. If someone commits a crime, it is not only difficult to investigate, but also difficult to defend, so it gives me a headache."

"Since it is difficult to defend, why does your majesty have to defend it?" Luo qingluan blinked.

"No?" Nangong Qing wondered.

Don't you want the north county that has been defeated and give it to others?

How can he be willing to give up such a large territory and a whole country? This is a feat that can be recorded in history. If he gets it and gives it up, even if he dies, he will have no face to see the ancestors of the Nangong royal family.

"If I don't keep what I said, naturally it's not to give up the North County, but to find a way to turn the North County into a place where the East Wan and the South Wei would not or could not seek to seize, so as to fundamentally solve the problem." Luo qingluan said again.

At this moment, even Nalan night was surprised. He couldn't think of how to reach the level said by Luo qingluan.

The laissez faire north county is coveted by no one?

This is incredible.

"Qingluan, do you have another idea?" Nalan looked at her with a smile.

This little woman always has all kinds of strange ideas in her mind. Maybe she can really think of something.

Looking at their curious eyes, Luo qingluan said slowly, "if you can turn Beijun into a place where any force or individual is reluctant to destroy and is unwilling to destroy easily, even if you don't need heavy troops to guard, that's OK."

"Reluctant to destroy?" Nalan seemed to think of something, but it was too vague to be understood.

"Let me make an analogy. For example, there is a hen. The hen can lay a golden egg every day. You say, if it is a smart person, whether to kill the hen to eat meat or carefully raise it to keep the hen laying golden eggs all the time?"

Luo qingluan's metaphor was very clear. Nangong Qing immediately said, "naturally, it's good to keep a hen and lay golden eggs all your life. But even so, it's hard to guarantee that no one will steal the hen?"

With a slight smile, Luo qingluan said, "if the people who raise this hen will use part of the money bought by the golden eggs to help the poor, build bridges and roads, make good friends, so that everyone can get benefits. Will there be fewer people who steal the hen again?"

Looking at Nangong Qing's thoughtful eyes, Luo qingluan said again: "if the person who owns the hen is a man of high moral integrity and there are a group of guards in his family to guard the chicken, in this case, will someone steal the chicken or even hurt the chicken?"

There was silence, and Nangong Qing and Nalan night were deep in thought.

They had never thought about such a hypothesis before, and Luo qingluan's words gave them a new hint. If we can turn Beijun into the hypothetical hen, then everyone will be happy.

But North County is North County. It can't be as simple as a chicken. What specific methods should be used to do this.

"Qingluan, what you said is very reasonable, but to become a fact......" Nangong Qing frowned, "but it seems unlikely. What exactly should you do? If you have an idea, just say it directly?"

"My idea is that if we can turn Beijun into a commercial city of mutual exchange and high trade, regardless of status, country, ability and goods, we can do business in Beijun. Through Beijun, we can transfer to Dongwan, southern Wei, Western Chu, and even some other marginal vassal tribes. In the long run, as long as every country can be in Beijun The county gets benefits. Even if you covet it again, you won't easily destroy everything in the North County. "

Luo qingluan spoke slowly. This was just her temporary idea. There were still many things to be formulated and improved. Now she only said this idea. Whether it was feasible or not still needed Nangong Qing to convene all the officials to discuss it.

Nangong Qing thought for a moment and said, "but if it is true, Beijun will only be coveted by Dongwan and Nanwei. How can they not want such a prosperous Beijun?"

With a slight glance, Luo qingluan looked at him: "since your majesty controls the North County so hard, why do you have to be strong in the North County? If you turn the North County into a completely neutral place, neither Western Chu nor Eastern Wan and southern Wei. The three sides form mutual checks and balances and constraints, naturally no one will want to destroy the North County."

"But..."

Luo qingluan interrupted Nangong Qing: "I know what your majesty means. Your majesty is reluctant to give up the territory laid by Nalan night, but the more reluctant you are, the more you will lose it. If there is any more trouble caused by the Marquis, will your majesty guard every year and every day? The special geographical environment of Beijun has caused the current situation, which is not suitable for the territory really belonging to the Western Chu, but as long as the Western Chu can get benefits and is really good At the same time, it is enough for Nalan to beat the North County at night. "

"Sometimes, if you lose some, you will get some, or even more..."

When Luo qingluan finished this sentence, Nangong Qing was silent.

If you lose some, you will get some. He understands the meaning of this sentence, but he really explores the reality. Who will be willing to lose first? Even if he, sitting on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, wanted to give up the North County and make it a neutral place, he was very reluctant to give up.

Looking at Nangong Qing's tangled appearance, Luo qingluan didn't say much.

She knew that her suggestion was too advanced and beyond the understanding of the rulers of this era. But she still said, just because she held a little hope, Nangong Qing was not only a pure emperor for her and Nalan night, but also their friend.

As a friend, she put forward some suggestions for his reference. She sincerely hopes to help him solve the problem.

She just needs to explain the situation clearly. As for what the final choice is, it still depends on Nangong Qing himself.

"As the existing master of Beijun, it does not seem cost-effective for Xichu to give up the control of Beijun. But your majesty should think about whether it is better to get Beijun and cause a lot of trouble, or whether it is more cost-effective to nominally turn Beijun into a neutral force and then enjoy all kinds of convenience and wealth brought by Beijun."

To put it bluntly, this is the question of letting Nangong Qing choose face or inside.

It is indeed a glorious sight to have Beijun, but we should send a large number of troops to control it to prevent such artificial opposition as guanhou. And not only, but also the covet of Dongwan and Nanwei to Beijun. It's hard to defend day and night.

To lose Beijun, let it become a neutral place and open up business. At first, Xichu only served as the manager of Beijun, formulated relevant regulations and systems of Beijun trade, and dispatched personnel for management and defense. Because Beijun was originally the territory of Western Chu, Dongwan and southern Wei naturally did not have an opinion. On the contrary, they felt that local businessmen could also get benefits because they took advantage of them.

But the north county does not set up officials, but uses... Such as the trade guild to manage it uniformly. With practical interests, attract businessmen from Dongwan and southern Wei Dynasty to join them, exchange what they need, and the real benefits such as taxes obtained by Western Chu are the practical interests.

During the conversation, Luo qingluan said a lot of ideas, some of which came to her mind, some of which were the experience of previous lives. By the way, she drew lessons from them, including some key points for attention and so on. Nangong Qing listened as if it were a Arabian Night, but his eyes gradually cleared and nodded again and again.

"The person I said sent to Beijun as the president of the trade guild is Nangong Yu, the second prince."

Finally speaking of the most important candidate, Luo qingluan smiled: "if this candidate is the second Lord, your majesty should agree? The second Lord is the best way to grow business. If he manages it, when the independent business model of Beijun is improved, whether it is the specialties of the southern Wei Dynasty, the goods of Dongwan, and our things of Western Chu can be transferred through Beijun."

"As long as we can ensure the safety and order of North County and firmly control the rules and systems, the huge taxes and related derivative industries generated by North County can not only feed the people of North County, but also fill the national treasury with surplus."

Luo qingluan spoke out his preliminary ideas one by one. He didn't stop talking for more than two hours. Until it was dark, Luo qingluan's mouth was dry, and Nangong Qing was more and more excited. His eyes lit up. The three people were empty in their stomach, so he reluctantly let Luo qingluan and Nalan go out of the palace at night.

Nangong Qing took advantage of his excitement, hurriedly used some food, and hurriedly called Nangong Yu, the second prince, into the palace to talk and discuss all night.

The future of Western Chu, because of Beijun, has had a long-term impact under the words of Luo qingluan

For Luo qingluan, this is just a little idea and a little suggestion to solve the problems of Nangong Qing and Nalan night. And what she paid more attention to was the people who came back to the house with Nalan night today - several of Nalan night's classmates.

Back to the palace, Luo qingluan was about to ask Nalan night, but before he opened his mouth, the door was pushed open from the outside.

A slim voice and shadow rushed in like a whirlwind, bringing out a gust of fragrance. The pleasant voice was full of excitement: "elder martial brother, you're finally back. I've been waiting for you for a long time. I have something to ask you!"
