In the military aircraft tent, a group of front-line soldiers gathered together for one thing, that is, the governance of the newly received territory of Buyeo City.Liu Hongji is the military and political governor of Hebei Province, and he knows the situation on the border best, so he was the first to speak: "This Buyeo City is a land of right and wrong, and the ownership belongs to Goguryeo, but they have never really benefited from this city."
Because it borders the three barbarian lands of Khitan, Yao, and Murowei, it is often patronized by these three tribes, and it has become a place where it exists in name only, and it is actually a place where five things don't matter.The Goguryeo monarchs and ministers were cautious, and it seemed that they were cutting the land, but in fact they threw us a burden. ”Several of the other generals nodded their heads, acknowledging that this was a useless place.Wei Zheng looked at the envoy Wang Si, "Wang Shangshu, since we have this land, it is my Tang territory, Goguryeo is incompetent if it is not governed, and Datang can't ignore it."
Moreover, the Tang Dynasty is mighty, and Fuyu City has returned to us, and the surrounding small tribes should not dare to attack.I don't know what good strategies Wang Shangshu has for how to govern?
”Wang Si pondered for a moment, and said with a complicated expression: "The plague in my Datang Hebei Province has not been smoothed out, and now there is another piece of right and wrong, not to mention governance, just in terms of public security, I am afraid that a strong army is needed, and the gains outweigh the losses!"
”Li Ke gently pushed down Du Shaoqing beside him, and said loudly: "Before, we were all against receiving this land, only Doctor Du persuaded to accept it, presumably it will not be to help Goguryeo quickly reach a contract, there should be something else, why not let Doctor Du talk about it?"
”Everyone looked at Du Shaoqing, except for Wang Si, who was not very optimistic, everyone else knew Du Shaoqing's ability.Du Shaoqing took out a simple strategy from his arms that he had made in the past few days, because it took three days to dismantle the corpses of Jingguan on the front line, he was an outsider, and he made a plan when he had nothing to do."
Everyone, Buyeo City is a rare treasure, but Goguryeo has eyes and doesn't know gold and jade.This is the junction of the five countries, not the best city to govern the people, but the best place for the circulation of commercial goods, with this city, we Datang can easily trade with the four neighboring countries in the Northeast, four are barbarian grazing land, the supply of goods is sufficient, open to business, it is equivalent to Datang to seize the resources of the entire Northeast. ”Wang Si frowned and said: "Doctor Du, the way to govern the country, you still have to rely on businessmen?"
Is this child's play?
”Du Shaoqing straightened his waist and said loudly: "Is it child's play for the country to earn money from other races, enrich the treasury, benefit our people, and benefit the country and the people?"
Shinong, industry and commerce are the lifeblood of the country, why is the way of governing the country ashamed of words and business?
”Wei Zheng persuaded: "After listening to Doctor Du, we are not rotten Confucians who don't know how to change, and can benefit the country and the people, so why bother?"
”"In order to ensure that Buyeo City can become a stable commercial center, there must be an army of no less than 5,000 stationed all year round to guard it, otherwise all the empty talk, Buyeo City will still look like it is in the hands of Goguryeo."
Wei Chigong retorted: "Five thousand permanent troops?
Datang is a government military system, where is there a permanent army?
Just the side of His Majesty, and the little troops guarding the royal city are permanent, and Buyeo City costs 5,000?
It's impossible, I can't afford to make offerings. ”"After listening to me, the income of the 5,000 army Fuyu City can be fully afforded, surrounded by three nomadic barbarians, rich in leather goods, livestock, herbs, etc., they are all abandoned on weekdays as worthless, thrown aside and stopped no one wants, our Datang can use the domestic half of the price to buy unlimited, and then transport into the country, plus the loss of transportation all the way, the cost is not less than 20% of the domestic one, the net profit is eighty percent, can not afford to raise only 5,000 people?
I can afford to eat meat every day. ”"This, this, you're so profitable?
Does anyone sell it?
”Wang Si's eyes widened in disbelief."
Of course, don't say it's a half-percent price purchase, if we exchange silk, jewelry, tea and other precious things, I am confident that I can exchange a hundred cattle with those barbarian leaders, what is the price of domestic cattle?
Two or even three runs, how much is a piece of silk?
I basically didn't spend any money on it. ”Hearing this explanation, everyone looked at Du Shaoqing, where is this miracle doctor?
is simply the world's number one profiteer.Wei Zheng shook his head and said: "No, the cattle of the barbarians are all wild and unconvincing beef cattle, and they can be used to kill and eat meat, but they can't be used for farming, and the profits are not so big." ”"Bison?
Beef cattle?
What bison doesn't tame?
Piercing the nostrils, it's so easy. ”"What do you say?
You mean to say that you have a way to tame bison?
”Wei Zheng got up directly and came to Du Shaoqing and asked, "If you really have this ability, it will definitely be a great achievement, the matter between you and the princess, the old man will give up his old face and stretch out his head to fight with His Majesty for you." ”Du Shaoqing was stunned, and asked weakly: "Is Datang very short of cultivated cattle?"
”Liu Hongji nodded and said, "Is it just a shortage?"
It is simply a desperate shortage, it is impossible for the people to plough a cow per household, an average of five households in the country plough a cow, and in some poor places there is even a cow per village, and most of the fields are pulled by people.National legislation prohibits the killing of cattle, but it still has little effect. ”Well, with such an explanation, Du Shaoqing felt that he was about to pick up a great achievement, and replied with a solemn nod: "I am confident that I can tame bison quickly, and I can tame as many as I can, so in this way, this Buyeo City actually doesn't have to do anything else, just buy bison at a price under the guise of buying beef cattle." ”Liu Hongji waved his hand, "Come on, quickly send someone to buy back ten bison from the Khitan clan, no matter the quality, the sooner the better." ”This is a doer, and he wants to test the truth immediately, and then Du Shaoqing continued to explain his plan and discernment, what he said was reasonable and well-founded, and everyone kept nodding, that is, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Wang Si was impressed, and said in his heart This Du Dacai, it seems that in addition to a little businessman's habits, he is indeed a great talent for governing the country.Three days later, as Du Shaoqing said, in front of all the generals, he really used the way of piercing his nostrils to tame ten bison, Wei Zheng knew that this trip, in addition to exterminating the plague in Hebei, was to dig out Du Shaoqing's true ability, and even calculate Goguryeo's compensation, which was not as important as getting a Du Shaoqing.Within a few days, Wang Si left first, the war in Hebei had subsided, and his envoy was useless, so he went back with the letters of plea from several generals, Wei Zheng didn't write any pleas or anything like that, he said that this matter would be put on hold and go back to Chang'an to interview the emperor in the future."
Let's go, Yingzhou will leave General Wei Chi to sweep the tail, we should go back to Youzhou to finish the plague."
Wei Zheng took Du Shaoqing and Li Ke and a few people, and also set off to rush back to Youzhou.Outside Youzhou City, eighty percent of the victims left, the remaining twenty percent were the real plague that had not been eradicated, the remaining eighty percent were cured, and there were also displaced people who had not been sick, and now that their homes were fine, they spontaneously went back to harvest food.Before Du Shaoqing and Li Junxian walked to the medical officer's camp, they heard the continuous thanks of the surrounding victims, "Doctor Du is back, thank you Doctor Du for saving your life!"
Your family is a great person. ”Du Shaoqing said in his heart that these people are really enthusiastic, and they thank the family directly.But what another person said made Du Shaoqing dumbfounded, and the man shouted: "Doctor Du, you and your wife are both living bodhisattvas, we thank you." ”My wife?
It's even stranger, my wife is in the palace."
Oh, the divine doctor and the divine doctor's wife are really a good match, talented and beautiful, a natural pair."
Hearing this, Du Shaoqing couldn't think of it anymore, it would be really stupid, he slapped his thigh, "My wife is here?"
Didn't she say that she was taking care of her children at home?
What are you doing in the plague zone?
General Lee, quick, help me find her. ”
