I Built a Territory in Ancient Times - Chapter 172

efforts are unlikely to succeed. Where is Duan Wang who can do what he wants?

It is said that King Duan entered the capital this time to discuss the Xiqi Corridor with the imperial court, and he did not know how the matter was going. If the court resolution is not passed, it is also expected, this matter is like a fantasy, and the court’s finances are not rich, how could King Duan be allowed to make trouble?

Liu Zhen was mixed, and now Duan Wang is back. It seems that there is a backbone, and now Liangcheng is like this, and it has nothing to do with Ming Yu, and only Ming Yu can solve it.

“My lord, I wonder if the matter of the lord is going well?” Liu Zhen asked. In fact, what he wants to say is that it doesn’t matter if the Xiqi Corridor fails.

Ming Yu shook his head and nodded again, “It’s a long story, I’ll talk about it later.” He was in a good mood, and he couldn’t explain many things for a while, and he had to sort out everything. to make a decision.

Liu Zhen shook his head and nodded, and he didn’t know whether it was successful or not, so he could only endure it after hearing Ming Yu’s words.

General Wei was already impatient at this time. He pulled Liu Zhen away and asked two steps forward: “My lord, is the news true? The court has really promised to recruit new soldiers at will?”

General Wei is a military general, and his concern is naturally to increase troops to fight. Before Ming Yu asked someone to bring a letter, he said the court’s decision on recruiting reforms. However, this was a major event, and without the imperial edict, he couldn’t believe it was true. So when I saw Ming Yu, I naturally asked about this big event.

Ming Yu smiled and nodded, “Of course it’s true, this king even brought back the imperial edict, how could it be false, but it is impossible to recruit new recruits at will, but there is a basic amount. This is a new establishment , directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial military department.”

General Wei stroked his beard and laughed, “Okay, that’s great! Sure enough, the lord has a way. As long as this system works well, it will send a steady stream of new recruits, and we don’t have to worry about the lack of our people.”

Liu Zhen glared at him and said with a sneer: “Yes, there are more new soldiers, and the military expenditure is also a lot? How many months have you been in arrears on the military salaries in your army?”

One sentence made General Wei unable to laugh anymore, and said angrily: “This general has already asked the court to distribute money, food and military salaries. It’s just that these old foxes who don’t work in the court know the inner struggle all day long, and don’t care about borders at all. The life and death of the army is simply out of line!”

“Okay, don’t blame the ministers in the court, the court is also difficult, which one doesn’t want to spend money?”

“Humph! The imperial court is difficult, but those people who harm the country and the people have a tough time!”

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Ming Yu smoothed out, “Okay, there is no need for the two of you to argue. Regarding the military salary, this king has also mentioned it to the father, and it will be issued as soon as possible.”

General Wei was satisfied, and gave Liu Zhen a triumphant look. Liu Zhen shook his head and ignored him.

Mo Jiang just now had to step forward, cupped his hands and said, “Your Highness, everything is prepared according to your instructions.”

Ming Yu patted his shoulder and said with a smile, “Thank you for your hard work.”

A burning gaze fell on Ming Yu’s hand, and Ming Yu realized something. When he turned his head, he saw Xie Yixiu’s solemn face, and staring at the hand that fell on Mo Jiang’s shoulder.

Ming Yu was stunned for a moment, then retracted his hand embarrassedly, and then said to Mo Jiang, “You will have to trouble Commander Mo for a lot of things in the future.”

“It is your subordinate’s duty to serve His Highness. No matter what His Highness instructs, your subordinates will definitely go all out.” Mo Jiang swore that he didn’t like His Highness treating him so politely.

“Okay! In the future, there will be more than five hundred guards under the command of Mo. The newly recruited army will be handed over to you. Do you have the confidence to bring an iron army for this king?” Ming Yu restrained his smile and said solemnly.

139 Chapter 139

Mo Jiang’s heart was shocked and his fighting spirit was high, “This subordinate has confidence!”

Ming Yu just laughed, this was the recruit leader he had negotiated with Xie Yixiu along the way. Ming Yu wants to train the newly recruited recruits into a new army with strong combat ability and good style. Just like the guard battalion, which has a completely new look, but the team is more capable of fighting and knows how to cooperate with tactics.

Mo Jiang has this ability and strength, he can bring out the guard camp, I believe it will not be too difficult for the new army.

“That’s good, I hope this strong army can be invincible. The future Xiqi Corridor depends entirely on them.” Ming Yu nodded with a smile, he looked around and asked, “Is Xu Wen here?”

Xu Wen was previously arranged by Ming Yu to build a horse farm, but now the renovation has been basically completed, and the stables and sheds have long been built. Although there are not many good horses now, it will only take a few years. It is believed that the scale of the horse farm will gradually expand, and eventually the army will be self-sufficient.

The horse farm is almost done, and the rest will be left to professionals. The horse breeders who came back from the Western Regions are also bringing apprentices. The purpose is to train more horse breeders to ensure the operation of the horse farm in the future.

And Xu Wenneng worked a lot, and Ming Yu, the workshop outside the city, was handed over to him together, and he was in charge of it.

Hearing Ming Yu’s question, and after everyone passed it on, Xu Wencai trotted forward panting.

“The minister welcomes the late arrival, please forgive me.” Xu Wen kowtowed and pleaded guilty.

When he received news from Duan Wang, he originally went out early and was about to rush over. However, when he was about to go out, another person rushed to report the workshop. Originally, he planned to suppress it and deal with it when he came back. Unexpectedly, the person said that it was an urgent matter, and it was best to deal with it as soon as possible. There was no other way, Xu Wen had to walk with him, and when he was finished, he hurried over, and the prince had already arrived.

Ming Yu lifted him up, and didn’t mean to blame, “Nothing, this king didn’t want to disturb you to come to greet him. You have intentions to go out of the city to meet you.”

Everyone saluted, “This is the righteousness and the duty of being a minister.”

Ming Yu waved his hand and said with a smile, “Everyone is so familiar, so there’s no need to be polite.”

Everyone also laughed. After getting along for a long time, they all understood Duan Wang’s temperament and knew that Duan Wang’s words were not a joke. They are blessed to have such a generous and benevolent prince. No matter what they do, they are full of energy.

“Your Highness, were you looking for a minister just now?” Xu Wen had calmed down and asked. When he was far away, he heard that the prince was looking for him. At this time, the prince was looking for him, and there must be something important.

“Oh! Actually, it’s not a big deal. It’s just that a caravan from behind has delivered some supplies. If you need it, you can discuss the price and negotiate the sale.”

“Oh! Why didn’t the lord say it earlier, it’s too much needed, the minister will talk about it now.” Xu Wen heard what Ming Yu said, and before Ming Yu finished speaking, he hurriedly retire and went to have a look.

Seeing him running away in a hurry, Ming Yu was stunned for a second before laughing: “The caravan doesn’t know how to run, so what’s the point of rushing?” But Xu Wen had long since disappeared.

You know, Liangzhou has always been short of materials, and many things cannot be bought with money. How can I not be in a hurry when I hear Ming Yu’s words?

Ming Yu shook his head, “Why is his temper so urgent? I think his temper was too cautious back then!”

Xie Yixiu softened his expression when he heard him muttering in a low voice. “There are still not enough talents in Liangzhou now, let’s see what they have forced people into.”

Ming Yu grimaced, “That’s right, there’s no other way. Talents are scarce, so one person can only be used by a few people. But this is indeed not a long-term solution. We still have to recruit talents from the outside.”

Xie Yixiu nodded, Liangzhou wants to develop, no one can’t do it.

Ming Yu then sighed: “What a pity! From the current environment in Liangzhou, it is impossible to attract useful talents. We still have to start from two aspects.”

He has been thinking about this issue a long time ago, and at this time, it is also well-organized.

“Oh? Which two aspects?” Xie Yixiu asked.

Ming Yu explained his idea, “One is to attract useful talents from outside, which requires all conditions to be implemented. The second is to build a school so that all school-age children from seven to twelve years old can enter the school to study. , to improve the quality of the whole people, and to cultivate a new generation of useful talents. What do you think?”

Xie Yixiu stared at him without saying a word, Ming Yu was surprised, thinking that there was something on his face, he touched his face involuntarily. Asked: “What’s wrong?”

Xie Yixiu came back to his senses, shook his head and said, “It’s nothing, it’s just that what the lord said is not something that can be accomplished overnight.”

Ming Yu sighed, “Yeah, this is also the reason for my headache. If you want to achieve your goals as soon as possible, you can only start implementing them earlier. But you see, I have a lot of thoughts here, and everything is messy, and it will take a while. It is impossible. There are still schools that still need teachers and talents, and this is an unavoidable problem.”

“Don’t worry. Take your time, you will be able to do it one day.” Xie Yixiu
