Tang Yin seemed to understand Qiu Zhen's intention, but seeing that he did not have any intention to continue, he decided not to pursue the matter.
With a sudden change in tone, he said to the Regiments under his command: "No matter what, this victory isn't enough to intimidate the Savage Country, and it can't stop the further invasion of the Savage Soldier in the future. So, we still have to continue recruiting more soldiers, and we still have to persevere in our training!"
"Yes!" "My Lord!" Bai Yong, Zhu Nuo, Gu Yue and Li Wei, the four regiment leaders, all stood up and acknowledged it.
Tang Yin was silent for a moment, then turned and asked Qiu Zhen: "With the current condition of the Pingyuan County, is there any possibility of increasing the number of divisions?"
"About this …" Qiu Zhen seriously thought about it, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid not. Within a county, the establishment of five legions is already considered the first step in opening up the Feng Country. If we were to add a new legion, not only would Imperial Court not approve it, we might even suspect the lord's motives.
Tang Yin nodded his head, Qiu Zhen's worries were well-founded, he rolled his eyes and laughed: "We may not need to add new troops, but we can increase the number of troops we have, right? For a single regiment, we can expand it to fifteen thousand people or maybe twenty thousand people. In that case, we can only wait for Yu Zeng to add in a new regiment. "
Qiu Zhen never expected Tang Yin to think of such an idea, he was stunned, then also laughed and said: "Although Master's idea is good, but the soldiers' salaries and supplies are a problem! "Right now, the county only provides us five legions with salaries, rations, and supplies. If you augment the team's composition, we will only be able to get insufficient rations, rations, and supplies."
Tang Yin had already considered this point, and said: "Because we frequently battle with the Savage Soldier, it is understandable for us to expend too much of our Pingyuan County and military resources. We can ask the counties for more military food and rations, and furthermore, we can also rely on the county's tax revenue to support the army.
Saying that, he looked towards Shangguan Yuanji, getting involved in internal affairs. Shangguan Yuanji was the main executor, whether or not he could raise the taxes, he naturally had to ask Shangguan Yuanji.
The latter naturally understood that Tang Yin was questioning him, his expression was stern as he said: "Master, if you want to increase the number of troops, to ensure the longevity of my Pingyuan County, even if I, Shangguan Yuanji, were to dig three feet into the ground, I will give you money to assist you. Of course, there are some policies that still need to be approved by the Lord! " Saying that, he took out a folded document from his sleeves and handed it over to Tang Yin.
Tang Yin looked at Shangguan Yuanji in shock, then looked at the document in his hands, and could not help but shake his head and laugh. He opened the document and took a closer look. The first line was to vigorously nurture the agriculture and reward the farmers. If they were to cultivate well and hand in a lot of food, they could even get a primary rank.
Shangguan Yuanji saw that Tang Yin was looking at it seriously, walked forward and explained: "The Pingyuan County have been in chaos for many years, and many citizens have fled to the wilderness to seek refuge. The farmlands have been left uncultivated for many years, and a large part of the land has been abandoned. To reward and attract the people who seek refuge back to their homes, and to use their title to arouse the enthusiasm of the people who live in the fields. Only then, will Pingyuan County's farming efforts be effective in a short period of time. "
Tang Yin nodded his head while listening. As the saying goes, the army must not move. Food must not be lost for a day in the army. Food is crucial for the army. They may not even have a salary, but they must not lack military provisions.
He pondered for a moment and then replied, "This rule can be implemented!"
Shangguan Yuanji continued to explain, "Second, revitalize the business. This has always been the main reason behind the poverty of the Pingyuan County. In order to attract merchants to enter the Pingyuan County, first, there has to be a stable and peaceful environment, and now that the Savage Soldier has been greatly defeated, the bandits in the county have all died down, so there is no problem with the environment. Secondly, there is the need to reduce the business tax, and as long as there is a profitable situation, merchants will naturally be very enthusiastic about it.
Makes sense! Tang Yin nodded his head: "This rule is also approved!"
Seeing that Shangguan Yuanji was going to continue explaining, while the others were seated in their seats, Tang Yin waved his hands and interrupted Shangguan Yuanji, saying to the rest of them: "If everyone does not have any other military matters to discuss, then let us go back and rest first!"
"Yes!" Lord! This subordinate will take his leave! " Hearing Tang Yin say that he could leave, they felt relieved of a heavy burden and quickly got up to leave. Only Qiu Zhen stayed behind, it was not because he was concerned about the affairs of the army, but he had not finished his words just now.
After everyone had left, Tang Yin smiled at Shangguan Yuanji: "Yuanji, continue speaking!"
Shangguan Yuanji nodded his head, and said: "The third rule is to not care about the rules, and to promote talent. In terms of the Feng Country and calendar, regardless of whether it is in military affairs or not, their officials all need to first obtain titles, this way, they would be able to exclude those who do not have titles, which makes it difficult for ordinary citizens to obtain titles. As a result, their official positions have always been occupied by the nobles, so the lord should break this boundary, and promote those who do not have any prejudices, and treat them equally. "
"Yes!" Tang Yin had a deep understanding of this, and he himself did not have any prejudices towards this. Nobility and commoners were the same in his eyes, but to put it another way, he felt that ordinary people were even simpler than nobles.
Just then, Qiu Zhen spoke up: "If you don't need a title to promote your talent, then the first reason will be to reward those who are outstanding in farming with their title."
Shangguan Yuanji laughed leisurely, and said: "Master Qiu is precisely the one who spoke of the fourth rule, to be punished by a title! "Master, we, the people of Feng Ren, have a straightforward and intrepid personality, it is easy for us to be competitive, private wars often occur, and many people are imprisoned for personal fights. However, if we have a title, we can cancel the blame, and use it to encourage people to fight for a title."
Tang Yin frowned, he did not have any objections to Shangguan Yuanji's first three positions, but for the fourth rule, he could not agree on this point, taking the responsibility of being a noble was still a crime, how could he use a noble title to make up for it? Of course, the modern way of thinking on the equality of men and women could not be used to regulate the people of this era, but Tang Yin still felt uncomfortable.
Shangguan Yuanji saw through Tang Yin's discontent. He lightly sighed and said: "This rule is actually only temporary, the goal is to motivate people to work hard to cultivate, so that they can obtain the title of nobility, and obtain a 'death saving gold medal' for themselves. When everything in Pingyuan County returns to its peak, this rule will naturally become invalid."
Tang Yin pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Alright! This rule can also be approved! "
"Thank you, master!" Shangguan Yuanji cupped his hands in thanks, and continued: "Fifth, attract people from other cities to move into Pingyuan County …"
Shangguan Yuanji explained, Tang Yin listened, the former talked nonstop, and the latter listened with relish. By the time Shangguan Yuanji had finished explaining the twenty lines of the official documents, a full hour and a half had passed.
Tang Yin finally understood the entire contents of the document and heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at the document, he felt tired even though he had no idea how much effort Shangguan Yuanji would have to put into writing.
He smiled gratefully to Shangguan Yuanji and said: "Yuanji, you've worked hard. I agree to all twenty details, go ahead and do it!"
Shangguan Yuanji stood up, bowed respectfully in front of Tang Yin, and said: "This lowly subordinate will do as you command!"
Talented people are hard to come by, and those who appreciate and trust them are even harder to come by. After Shangguan Yuanji pledged his allegiance to Tang Yin, it could be said that his talent in internal affairs was brought to bear to the maximum, which laid a solid foundation for the rapid rise of his Pingyuan County.
It's my turn! When Shangguan Yuanji finished speaking, he and Tang Yin heaved a sigh of relief together, while Qiu Zhen also heaved a sigh of relief by the side.
Without waiting for Tang Yin to speak, he took out the map of Feng Country and laid it on the table.
Tang Yin looked at Qiu Zhen in puzzlement, not knowing why he had gone crazy again.
Qiu Zhen looked at Tang Yin, then looked at the map and asked: Master, if there is a change in Tong Gate, how do you think we should protect ourselves?
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, and asked: "You think that Ning Country will not keep their promise, and will raise their weapons again?!"
"Everything is possible. There can be no mistake to prevent it from going unburned."
Tang Yin got up, walked to the table, looked at the map, and shook his head slowly. The Pingyuan County situation was not good, there were four plains and no danger existed, if there really was an enemy attacking from the inside, it was impossible to stop them. He bitterly smiled and said, "If the Ning Armament really can go straight to the point and attack us, we can only fight to the death."
Qiu Zhen shook his head and said, "Otherwise! Master, there is actually a heavenly danger that can cut off the enemy from the outside, making it difficult to step into our county! "
"Oh?" Was there such a heavenly risk to the Pingyuan County? Tang Yin lowered his head and carefully checked the map. After searching for a long time, he still could not find the place Qiu Zhen mentioned.
"Here!"
Qiu Zhen's finger swept across Pingyuan County, all the way until his Heaven Pass.
After Tang Yin and Shangguan Yuanji finished watching, their expressions changed slightly at the same time.
Heaven Pass were the entrances to the Tianyuan County, and the northern part of the checkpoint was the Tianyuan County territory. When Tang Yin went to the Pingyuan County to take over the job, he also passed by the Heaven Pass. At that time, he felt that the terrain of the Heaven Pass was extremely good, even surpassing Tong Gate, but the Heaven Pass was located within the borders of the Feng Country, it had no strategic significance.
Heaven Pass wasn't something that was governed by the Pingyuan County, it was something that was directly related to it. Tang Yin was merely a county governor of the Pingyuan County, how could he possibly control the Heaven Pass?
Qiu Zhen naturally understood why Tang Yin and his were so confused. He looked around, lowered his voice, and asked: "Could it be that sire is only satisfied with being the head of a county?"
After Tang Yin heard this, he squinted his eyes.
My lord's goal is not only to get an outsider, but also to fight internally. His goal is the first position in Tianyuan Prefecture!" After pausing for a moment, he continued, "The Prefecture Lord Yu He is just an insatiable and useless person. Your excellency, you should prepare in advance and replace him. Once we control the entire Tianyuan County, we can use the Heavenly Barrier as a barrier. Regardless of whether it's the Ning army or the royal family, we can wait without fear!
