Xun Yu said with a smile: "The naming of these seven cities is secretly in line with the heavenly phenomena, and he will definitely be famous in Yunzhou one day." ”Fan Qingyue nodded and said: "At present, the construction team is repairing the fortifications, and it is expected that it will be completed in half a month." ”Li Mufan hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then shook his head slightly."
Beiyunzhou's vitality is greatly damaged, and it will not go south for the time being.""
Let Ah Qiang leave a dozen backbones to continue repairing with the Sky Fox Clan, and the construction team will immediately go south to Yunlan and build ten new big cities and twenty small cities on the plain!""
ShhhEveryone gasped when they heard this.This king is really full of courage, and he will build thirty cities in one go!
Fan Qingyue was about to speak, but one of them got up and said, "King, Weichen thinks this move is inappropriate!"
”Looking at it closely, a man in his thirties and a delicate appearance who spoke was Kou Zhun, a famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty.I saw him arch his hand and say: "The kingdom is newly decided, and the people are still unable to live and work in peace and contentment, but they want to build a large number of buildings, which is a move to work the people and hurt money, and please think twice about the king!"
”Everyone looked at this person in a daze, this business was single-handedly won by Li Mufan, and in the hearts of all officials and people, he was a god-like existence.Now this person has jumped out to accuse the king, which is really commendable.Li Mufan was not angry, but said with a smile: "What Kou Aiqing said is reasonable, but you only know one and don't know the other. ”"Now that the vitality of Beiyun Prefecture is greatly damaged, the demon clan will not attack in the short term, the elf clan is powerless, and the clans in Nanyun Prefecture are difficult to protect themselves.""
It's time for us to show our strength, how can we look ahead and look backwards?"
Kou Zhun hesitated: "Having said that, the king's project is really huge!"
”"There are countless amounts of money and grain needed, and now the trade routes are not passable, the autumn grain has not been harvested, and the treasury has long been perfunctory......," Li Mufan said with a smile: "Aiqing doesn't have to worry too much, I didn't make anything else from this king's trip to the Dragon Bone Tower, but I still made a lot of money." ”As he spoke, he took out five storage rings and handed them to Fan Qingyue and said, "Qingyue, there are a billion spirit stones in here, rush into the treasury first." ”Hearing this, everyone gasped again.One billion spirit stones, it's simply astronomical!
Kou Zhun opened his mouth and said with joy on his face: "In this way, Weichen has no objection." ”Li Mufan nodded at him: "Then it's decided, let's continue." ”Fan Qingyue said with a smile: "After the minister finished speaking, let's ask Lord Xun to report." ”Seeing Li Mufan's gaze looking at him, Xun Yu got up and arched his hand: "King, my lords, in Weichen's opinion, my Ming Kingdom has now entered a relatively stable period. ”"At present, there are more than 4.7 million ethnic groups and 800,000 foreign races in the country.""
The territory is bordered by the desert in the north, the sky fox in the south, Yunqin in the west, and the Lost Mountains in the east.""
When Cuihua was pregnant, she drew a map of the mountains and rivers of the Ming Kingdom, and according to her, the country covers an area of 4.5 million square kilometers."
Li Mufan calculated slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.The area of the ancient country is about 9.6 million, and now it is almost half.Xun Yu said again: "The generals are recruiting troops, and at present, the whole country has 70,000 troops, 300,000 insect troops, and 20,000 foreign captive troops. ”"Wechen expects that the number of troops can be increased to 100,000 within half a year."
Li Mufan sighed slightly, the strength of the regular army was still stretched.Sure enough, Xun Yu continued: "Although the country is not small, the problems we face are even greater. ”"First, the population is insufficient, the population of Liyang, Linjiang, Qingshi and other cities is less than 300,000, and other cities are even more unbearable.""
Second, a lot of land is barren and uncultivated.""
Third, there are not enough troops to deal with multi-front operations.""
Fourth, there is no tax revenue.""
Fifth, the trade route has not been completely opened, and the trade with the Sky Fox Clan and the Elf Clan is only superficial, and the sea trade is even more distant.""
Finally, there is a shortage of local administrative officials and a lack of effective governance, and at present, the people are mainly governed by families, especially in rural areas.""
Weichen learned that now the people in the countryside only know that there is a family master, but they don't know that there is a court."
Hearing this last one, Li Mufan sighed secretly in his heart.He knew about this stubborn disease when he was a little king, so even if the people of the Zhao family bullied the widows of martyrs, he only punished them with small punishments.The reason is that it is afraid of causing a backlash from various families and causing unnecessary trouble to the rare and stable situation.However, for a parasite-like family, especially the Zhao family, sooner or later he will give this group of people an explanation!
Now that many problems are in front of him, he finally understood the sentence: governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh.()
