Chapter 646: Buried in Great Development (1)


The attack on Dabolu Kingdom and the direct battle with the Tubo army was the first time that Feng Changqing led an army as the commander-in-chief.

Judging from the entire battle process, as the commander-in-chief, Feng Changqing had insufficient experience in commanding on the battlefield.

The Tang army was unstoppable all the way.

It is because there are experienced generals such as Duan Xiushi, Zhao Chongxuan, and Jia Chongguan.

The Dabolu Kingdom and the Tubo Army were defeated by the Tang Army's vanguard before they had time to fight the main force of the Tang Army.

Feng Changqing originally wanted to pursue the victory, but was dissuaded by Duan Xiushi.

He discovered the ambush by searching the mountains and forests on both sides, saving the Tang Army from suffering. to the ambush misfortune, from this point we can see Feng Changqing's lack of experience in battle.

Zhao Ziliang collected information from many aspects and conducted a detailed study of this battle.

Feng Changqing's strength lies not in commanding on the battlefield, but in administrative matters such as branching, camp fields, etc.

In the past, when Gao Xianzhi was the governor of Anxi, Gao Xianzhi would do it every time.

During the expedition, Feng Changqing always stayed behind as an envoy to handle military and political affairs, and provided timely logistical support to Gao Xianzhi's army.

From these aspects, Feng Changqing had few battle experiences, and it can also be seen that Feng Changqing's Inadequate experience in battle.

Since Fumeng Lingjin left Anxi, the Anxi Protectorate has Gao Xianzhi in terms of military construction and Feng Changqing in terms of civil administration.

These two people are the best partners.

They have managed Anxi in an orderly manner and improved the army's combat effectiveness.

The administration is well organized and the logistics are sufficient.

This is why the Anxi Protectorate was able to regain its strength within a year or two after Gao Xianzhi's defeat in Hengluosi.

Zhao Ziliang saw this, so on the premise that there was no external threat, he began to vigorously develop people's livelihood and economy within the jurisdiction of the Beiting Protectorate; he vigorously migrated refugees from the Central Plains and Jiangnan to open up wasteland and expand pastures in Beiting. scale; vigorously build roads, encourage industry and commerce, open up trade routes; encourage afforestation, and manage deserts.

In June of the twelfth year of Tianbao, after tens of thousands of people fighting continuously, the new Hengluosi City was finally completed.

All the streets, residential buildings, commercial areas and factories in the new city were completed.

The original Duhufu in Tingzhou was , Jiedu Envoy's Office and other military and political offices in Beiting were relocated one after another, leaving only the Tingzhou Governor's Office to govern Tingzhou.

In order to strengthen the management of the Western Turkic tribes, the Chuyue Ministry, and the Chumi Ministry, Zhao Ziliang wrote to the court suggesting that the establishment of the Mengchi Protectorate and the Kunling Protectorate should be restored.

The Mengchi Protectorate managed the five Western Turkic tribes. , the Kunling Protectorate managed the Chulu Department and the Chuyue Department, and placed the Chumi Department under the jurisdiction of Tingzhou.

Under the jurisdiction of the Beiting Protectorate, the Beiting Protectorate was promoted to the Beiting Protectorate.

The Beiting Protectorate governed the Mengchi Protectorate, Kunling Protectorate and Taixi Protectorate.

At the same time, the Beiting Xingying Jiedu Mansion took back the Taixi Protectorate.

The three military governors are only responsible for managing local civil affairs and coordinating the relations and conflicts between various ministries within the territory.

The imperial court quickly responded and approved Zhao Ziliang's proposal.

After receiving the reply, Zhao Ziliang sent people to establish the Mengchi Protector's Palace and the Kunling Protector's Palace, and on the other hand, he planned to expand and build the area from Tingzhou to Yuegong City. , the road from Yuegong City to Suiye City, from Suiye City to Hengluosi City, from Hengluosi City to Samadjian City, and from Hengluosi City to the west to the station on the north shore of the Caspian Sea.

When summoning Beiting officials to discuss road construction, Zhao Ziliang pointed to a few thick red lines drawn on the map and said: "In order to facilitate business travel, from now on, our Beiting Protectorate will build three roads: The first one starts from Beiting to Hengluosi City, the second one from Hengluosi City to the station on the north shore of the Caspian Sea, the third one from Hengluosi City to Samadjian City, All cement ash roads must be built, and cement ash sandstone concrete shall be laid on the original road base.

As long as the construction of these three roads is completed, the impact of weather conditions on business travelers, pedestrians, messengers and troops will be greatly reduced.

Roads cause a lot of wear and tear on horses' shoes, but as long as we change the horseshoes frequently, there will be no problem.

Excluding the salaries of relevant officials, architects and related service staff, we do not need to spend a penny to build these three roads.

All labor is used.

We can use local materials to build the sand and gravel for the roads, and the cement ash used is also every section.

We build kilns on site and make the tools ourselves.

Now, we are short of someone who knows the construction skills.

The construction technicians who are skilled in supervising the construction of these three roads.

In addition to road construction, these three major roads also have many bridges to be built, and several of them are large rivers.

The width of the bridges is not short.

To build such large bridges, ordinary technicians It’s simply not up to the task, so we have to send someone to Chang’an to hire a technician.

I wonder if you have anyone you can recommend.”

At this time, Cen Shen stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Qi Zhenjieshuai, if we want to find such a person, we don't have to send people to Chang'an.

I have a classmate named Hong Lin who is a classmate of Xiaguan.

This person is quite good at construction.

Two years ago, he joined us."

A caravan went to the Byzantine Empire of Vernon to learn a lot of construction techniques from Vernon.

They returned not long ago and happened to stay at an inn in the city in the past few days.

If the commander-in-chief allows it, the lower official recommended this person to the commander-in-chief to be in charge of roads and bridges.

Supervision matters” Zhao Ziliang had not heard of Hong Lin, and did not know whether he was qualified.

Since Cen Shen recommended this person, he must have some abilities.

So he said to Cen Shen: "In this case, Master Cen will go there in person."

Please come here, this master builder, and I will meet him."

"No" Cen Shen agreed and immediately turned around and left.

After Cen Shen left, Zhao Ziliang continued to tell the officials present: "In addition to these three main roads, we must build roads leading to towns.

The construction of roads between towns that are not on these three main roads must be built by the military and civilians organized by each town. , the costs are borne by each town itself, and the regional boundaries between towns are used as boundaries.

The roads to be built later in towns must be fully connected.

The cost of road construction is not allowed to be shown to the local people, and is borne by each town itself.

With their own money, the people will bear the corvee themselves.

The plan of the Imperial Guard and the Jiedu Envoy is to complete the construction of transportation roads between all towns within three years.

This will be used as a performance evaluation for urban officials.

If they are completed well, Will It will greatly increase the chances of promotion.

Local officials who do not complete the work well, or who take the opportunity to make money, plunder the people, or cause trouble during the road construction process will be held accountable for their crimes, and the Jiedushi government will send officials to carry out strict supervision."

An official at the scene stood up and raised his hands and said: "Commander, the towns under the jurisdiction of the Beiting Protectorate are rich and some are very poor.

The towns with a large population are naturally rich, and the towns with a small population are very poor.

There must be many towns that take If we don’t spend money to build roads, is it unfair to judge the performance of local officials based on this?”

Zhao Ziliang said: "For particularly poor towns, they can apply to the Jiedushi Mansion for road construction funds.

The Jiedushi Mansion will allocate part of it after review and approval, and the remaining shortfall will be solved by the town itself.

This is also a test of a place.

When officials are incapable of administration, capable officials will naturally think of ways to get money to make up for the shortfall, and incompetent officials will naturally find ways to get money to make up for the shortfall.

Local officials may think of robbing the people or reselling public property to obtain insufficient funds, or they may be timid and dare not plunder the people or resell public property to obtain funds, and have no way to make money, so they can only drag their commander-in-chief to do it.

I plan to take this opportunity to clean up the worms and incompetent people among the officials in Beiting, and let them move their places to talented people."

All the officials stood up and raised their hands, shouting: "Commander is wise and wise."

Zhao Ziliang continued: "Now that all parts of our Beiting, including the territory under the jurisdiction of the Taixi Protectorate, have stabilized and social order is improving, I believe that there is no need to set up so many checkpoints in various places.

Based on the actual situation in each place, we will abolish them.

Some insignificant checkpoints, free trade routes, Businessmen from all over the world are allowed to freely pass and do business in our Beiting territory, as long as they do not violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty and the decrees promulgated by the Beiting Protectorate and the Xingying Jiedushi Prefecture.

Not only can we not embarrass these business travelers, but we must also protect their lives and property.

It’s safe.

Only in this way can we do business in Beiting.

The circulation of trade goods and money in a developed country and a good economy is the same as the blood circulation in the human body.

If the blood vessels in the human body are smooth, the person will be healthy.

If the blood vessels in the human body are not smooth, the person will get sick.

The flow of trade goods The faster money circulates, the more vitality we have , the slower the speed, the weaker our Beiting will become.

The construction of the three main roads is the carrier of the flow of commercial goods and money.

The better it is built, the more spacious and flat it is, the greater the amount of commercial goods and money circulation will be. , so building roads is currently one of my top priorities in Beiting.”

"The second most important thing in our Beiting is that we are bringing in more and more refugees from the Central Plains and Jiangnan.

According to the latest statistics, the number of Han people in our Beiting has reached 800,000, and there are currently another 50,000 or 60,000 They are coming from the direction of Tingzhou one after another.

We want to give this Some Liu Ming prepared tents so that they would have a place to live when they arrived.

They also needed to prepare some food and fodder to help them survive the initial difficult period.

After they arrived, they had to give them farm tools and two kinds, and organize them to open up wasteland and cultivate the land, but they could not Destroy existing pastures” "Third, we must increase our efforts to encourage industry and commerce and strengthen the management of commerce and trade.

We divide businessmen into three categories.

The first is local businessmen, the second is businessmen who come from the Central Plains and Jiangnan, and the third is businessmen from other countries. .

The Jiedushi government will set up a city office to manage trade matters, and a number of administrative offices will be established under the city office to be responsible for collecting tariffs and trade taxes, formulating tariffs and encouraging industrial and commercial measures, and sanctioning illegal merchants coming from other countries. luxury Goods, these luxury goods can only be used for enjoyment and have no effect on our people's livelihood and military.

Therefore, high tariffs must be set.

Our locally produced luxury goods can be exported at reduced tariffs.

For tea, Lower tariffs can be set for porcelain, silk, brocade, and other specialties of the Tang Dynasty.

In short, for goods that are beneficial to our people's livelihood and military, we must lower entry tariffs and raise exit tariffs
