Biquge www.xbiquge.bz, the fastest update of Tang Yin in Another World!

Tang Yin seemed to understand Qiu Zhen's meaning, but seeing that he had no intention of continuing, he stopped asking to read the full text.

He changed the topic and said to the commanders of his troops: "No matter what, this victory is not enough to deter the barbarians, nor can it prevent the barbarians from continuing to invade in the future. Therefore, the recruitment will continue and the training must still be persisted." !”

"Yes! Sir!" The four corps commanders, Bai Yong, Juno, Guyue and Li Wei, all stood up to respond.

Tang Yin was silent for a moment, then turned to ask Qiu Zhen: "Given the current situation in Pingyuan County, is it possible to continue to increase the number of corps?"

"Well..." Qiu Zhen thought about it seriously, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not. The establishment of five corps within one county is already the first of its kind in the Feng Kingdom. If another new corps is added, I'm afraid Wang Ting will not be able to do it." Not only will Bian not approve it, but he will also be suspicious of your motives. After all, a big tree attracts the wind!"

Tang Yin nodded. Qiu Zhen's concerns were justified. He rolled his eyes, smiled faintly, and said, "We don't need to add new corps, but we can expand our establishment! With one corps, we can expand it to 15,000." There may be 20,000 people, so this is equivalent to adding a new regiment."

Qiu Zhen didn't expect that Tang Yin would come up with such an idea. He was stunned, and then smiled and said: "Although your idea is good, military pay and supplies are a problem! Now the county only gives us five regiments of military pay, food and grass." and supplies, if your Excellency expands the establishment, military pay, food, grass, and supplies will all be insufficient."

Tang Yin had taken this into consideration and said: "Because of the frequent battles with barbarians, it is understandable that Pingyuan County's military supplies are excessively consumed. We can ask for more military supplies, food and wages from the county. In addition, we can also rely on the county's To support the army through taxation, of course, the prerequisite is that the county’s tax revenue must be raised first.”

As he spoke, he looked at Shangguan Yuanji. Shangguan Yuanji was the main executor of internal affairs. Naturally, he had to ask Shangguan Yuanji if he could raise taxes.

The latter naturally understood that Tang Yin was asking him, so he looked straight and said: "Your Excellency, you want to increase your troops to ensure the long-term peace and order of our Pingyuan County. Even if I, Shangguan Yuanji, dig three feet into the ground, I will find money to assist you. Of course, Some policies still need approval from adults!" As he spoke, he took out a fold of the official document from his sleeve and handed it to Tang Yin.

Tang Yin looked at Shangguan Yuanji in surprise, then looked at the official document in his hand, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. It turned out that Shangguan Yuanji had been prepared for it! He unfolded the official document and looked at it carefully. The first item above was to vigorously support agriculture and reward cultivators. If you cultivated well and turned in more grain, you could also obtain a junior title.

Shangguan Yuanji saw that Tang Yin was looking seriously, so he stepped forward and explained: "Pingyuan County has been in war for years, and many people have fled to the barren mountains and forests for refuge. The farmland has not been cultivated for many years, and large areas are abandoned. To revitalize Pingyuan County, grain production is The top priority is also the basis for supporting the expansion of the army. Therefore, farming should be restored first. Use rewards to attract the people who have taken refuge to return to their homes, and use titles to stimulate people's enthusiasm for farming. Only in this way can Pingyuan County's agricultural products be restored in a short time. It’s paying off.”

Tang Yin nodded his head while listening. As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass move forward. The army cannot be without food for a day. Food is very important to the army. It can even be without military pay, but it cannot be without military rations.

He thought for a moment and then responded: "This can be implemented!"

Shangguan Yuanji continued to explain: "Second, revitalize business. For a long time, Pingyuan County has suffered from internal and external troubles, and business has been at a standstill. Materials within the county cannot be sold, and materials from outside cannot be sold. This is also the main factor causing poverty in Pingyuan County. In order to attract businessmen to enter Pingyuan County, first of all, there must be a stable and peaceful environment. Now that the barbarians have been defeated, the banditry in the county has been eliminated, and the environment is no problem. Secondly, the business tax must be reduced or reduced. As long as it is profitable, businessmen will naturally come eagerly. Only Only the large influx of businessmen can bring the long-lost prosperity to Pingyuan County."

Makes sense! Tang Yin nodded and said: "This one is also approved!"

Seeing that Shangguan Yuanji wanted to continue explaining, while everyone else was sitting on their chairs looking absent-minded, Tang Yin waved his hand, temporarily interrupting Shangguan Yuanji, and said to everyone: "If you have no other military matters to discuss, then go back and rest first. Bar!"

"Yes! Sir! I'm resigning!" Everyone was a military general and did not care about government affairs. After hearing Tang Yin say that they could leave, they were relieved and stood up to leave one after another. Only Qiu Zhen stayed and did not leave. It was not because he cared. Government affairs, but he hasn't finished what he just said.

After everyone left, Tang Yin smiled at Shangguan Yuanji and said, "Yuanji, keep talking!"

Shangguan Yuanji nodded and said: "The third article is to promote talents in an eclectic way. According to the Feng Kingdom calendar, regardless of military and political affairs, officials must first have titles before holding official positions. In this way, it is equivalent to replacing those without titles. Talents are excluded, and it is difficult for ordinary people to hold titles. Therefore, official positions have been occupied by nobles for a long time. Your Excellency should break this boundary and promote talents without prejudice and treat them equally."

"Yes!" Tang Yin knew this very well, and he had no family prejudice himself. Nobles and common people were the same in his eyes. On the other hand, he felt that ordinary people were more simple than nobles.

At this time, Qiu Zhen interjected: "If titles are not required to promote talents and appoint officials, then the first point, using titles to reward outstanding farmers will be meaningless."

Shangguan Yuanji smiled leisurely and said: "Master Qiu is talking about the fourth point I want to say, which is to bear the blame with the title! Sir, our charming people have a straightforward and strong temperament, and are easily competitive. Private fights often occur. Due to personal reasons, Many people are imprisoned for hurting others in fights, but if they have a title, they can offset their guilt, thus encouraging people to strive for titles.”

Tang Yin frowned. He had no objection to Shangguan Yuanji's first three points, but he couldn't agree with the fourth one. He used his title as the culprit. If he was guilty, he was guilty. How could he use his title to offset it? Of course, the modern idea of ​​equality for everyone cannot be used to regulate people of this era, but Tang Yin still felt uncomfortable.

Shangguan Yuanji saw Tang Yin's dissatisfaction, he sighed softly and said: "This provision is actually only temporary. Its purpose is to stimulate people to work hard in order to win the title and obtain a 'gold medal for immunity from death' for themselves. When the plains are reached in the future, After everything in the county is restored to prosperity, this article will naturally be invalidated."

Tang Yin pondered for a while, nodded and agreed: "Okay! This one can also be approved!"

"Thank you, sir!" Shangguan Yuanji cupped his hands and continued, "Article 5: Attract people from other cities and counties to move into Pingyuan County..."

Shangguan Yuanji spoke and Tang Yin listened. The former spoke eloquently, and the latter listened with great interest. By the time Shangguan Yuanji explained all the twenty items in the official document, a full hour and a half had passed.

After finally understanding all the contents, Tang Yin let out a long sigh. This official document looked tired to him. He didn't know how much Shangguan Yuanji had to put into writing it.

He smiled gratefully at Shangguan Yuanji and said, "Yuanji, thank you for your hard work. I agree with all of these twenty items. Just go ahead and do it!"

Shangguan Yuanji stood up, bowed respectfully and deeply in front of Tang Yin, and said, "I humbly obey my orders!"

Talented people are rare, and people who appreciate and trust them are even rarer. After Shangguan Yuanji defected to Tang Yin, it can be said that his talents in internal affairs were brought into full play, which laid a solid foundation for the rapid rise of Yepingyuan County.

It's my turn! After Shangguan Yuanji finished speaking, Tang Yin sighed with him, and Qiu Zhen on the side also sighed.

Before Tang Yin could greet him, he took out the map of Feng Country and spread it on the table.

Tang Yin looked at Qiu Zhen in confusion, wondering why he was so crazy.

Qiu Zhen looked at Tang Yin, then at the map, and asked: "Sir, if there is an accident over at Tongmen and there are changes in the capital, how do you think we should protect ourselves?"

Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked in question: "Do you think Ningguo will not keep its promise and raise troops to attack again!"

“Everything is possible, and it’s never wrong to take precautions before they burn.”

Tang Yin stood up, walked to the table, looked at the map, and shook his head slowly. The terrain of Pingyuan County was not good, with plains on all sides, and there was no danger. If an enemy really attacked from within, it would be impossible to resist it. He smiled bitterly and said: "If Ning Bing can really march straight in and hit us, we will have no choice but to fight to the death."

Qiu Zhen shook his head and said: "Otherwise! Sir, there is actually a natural danger that can isolate enemy soldiers from the outside and make it difficult for them to step into our county!"

"Oh?" Does Pingyuan County still have such natural dangers? Tang Yin lowered his head and checked the map carefully. After searching for a long time, he still couldn't find the natural danger Qiu Zhen mentioned. He asked suspiciously, "Where is it?"

"At this!"

Qiu Zhen pointed his finger across Pingyuan County all the way to Tianguan.

After Tang Yin and Shangguan Yuanji looked at it, their expressions changed slightly.

Tianguan is the entrance to Tianyuan County, and everything to the north of the pass is the territory of Tianyuan County. Tang Yin also passed Tianguan when he took office in Pingyuan County. At that time, he felt that Tianguan, a fortress city, had a unique terrain, even better than Tongmen. However, Tianguan was located in Fengguo and had no strategic significance.

Tianguan is not under the jurisdiction of Pingyuan County, but directly under Tianyuan County. Tang Yin is only the county magistrate of Pingyuan County, how can he control Tianguan?

Qiu Zhen naturally understood the confusion of Tang Yin and Shangguan Yuanji. He looked around, lowered his voice and asked, "Are you just satisfied with being the head of a county?"

When Tang Yin heard this, he immediately narrowed his eyes.

Qiu Zhen said seductively: "Your Excellency's goal is not only external, but also internal. Internally, the goal is to be the head of Tianyuan County!" After a pause, he continued: "The head of the county, Yu He, is just a greedy person. Your Excellency, you should make preparations and replace those who are useless. Once you control the entire Tianyuan County, you can use Tianguan as a barrier. No matter whether the Ning army comes or the royal court is going to harm you, we can wait without fear!"
