If you want to be rich, build roads first. This has been true since ancient times!
What's more, there are so many captives here, and it would be easy to cause trouble if they were released. It would be a waste of food to raise them, so they are most suitable as laborers.
Everyone looked at the map and marveled. It was hard to imagine that no one else could have such handwriting and courage.
Duke Wei couldn't help but admired: "This project is no less than the Great Wall of the Qin Dynasty, but the Great Wall focuses on defense, and this road focuses on people's livelihood. Once it is completed, the Turkic people will no longer have to worry about it. This move will be of great benefit to the future.
Great kindness!"
"The King of Han is wise!" Everyone sincerely praised
They are all people who know the military. They may not have a deep understanding of the benefits of building roads to the people's governance and people, but they are very clear that they will have great military benefits. Once the roads are built, it will be very convenient to mobilize troops and transport food.
With these two roads, the entire Turks can definitely be firmly controlled.
Qin Huaidao had a panoramic view of everyone's reactions, thinking that everyone would have to sit on one side in the future, and they could not know anything about the governance of people's livelihood, let alone meddle randomly. With a thought, he continued: "Next, let's talk about the governance of the people. Although the military and civilians govern separately, the civil servants have not yet arrived.
Previously, military agents were needed, such as the current situation."
Everyone nodded to express their understanding. Military generals opened up territories and civil servants governed a country. The division of labor was reasonable.
However, it takes time for civil servants to come over, and during this gap period, military commanders need to act as agents. Everyone knows their own shortcomings, so they cheer up and prick up their ears.
Qin Huaidao combined his own understanding with the experience of later generations and explained it slowly. First, let’s talk about public security and use barbarians to control barbarians. Firstly, it is easier for the local people to accept it. Secondly, the local people are familiar with the situation. Thirdly, they can come forward to coordinate when problems arise. The fault lies not with the Han Palace but with the local people.
You can shirk responsibility and ensure fairness.
This theory was unheard of by everyone and felt very novel, but Qin Huaidao explained it in a simple and easy-to-understand way, and used leading troops in battle as an example. He was able to understand and master it very quickly.
Next is people's livelihood. The biggest way to mobilize people's enthusiasm is profit. Everything in the world is for profit. Whoever opens up wasteland will use it, and the right to use it will be protected so that everyone has no worries. It must be highly motivated. If the tax is exempted for another three years, the local people's livelihood will be very fast.
recover.
Don’t worry about animal husbandry. The locals are very proficient. Planting is a weak point. It’s not a big problem to send people over to guide you. Once the road is clear, cattle, sheep, melons and fruits are all things that bring money. The Western Region is vast and sparsely populated. As long as you are willing to work, you can transport things.
You have to go out and develop quickly.
Qin Huaidao also mentioned minerals, which require professional and technical personnel. They will then need to be protected and monopolized, and cannot be mined privately, otherwise something will happen.
There are also fisheries. There are many large and small rivers in the Western Regions and they are rich in resources. However, the locals in the Western Regions are afraid of water, do not know how to cook, and do not like fish, so they can easily explore them.
Lin Linzongzong talked for about an hour, and everyone felt as if a door to a new world had opened, and they were very excited.
After the meal, the meeting continued.
Qin Huaidao wanted to leave as soon as possible, but the older one couldn't be left behind. After everyone sat down, his eyes fell on Su Dingfang and solemnly said: "Su Dingfang, Li Junxian."
"Here!" The two quickly stood up and clasped their fists.
A flash of surprise flashed in Li Junxian's eyes, and he immediately became more expectant. He came over. Wasn't this the moment he had been waiting for? He glanced at Su Dingfang from the corner of his eye. Is it possible that he wanted to partner with him? But that's fine, going to the grassland is more interesting.
Qin Huaidao looked at Li Junxian. This guy was a fierce general and suitable to be a guard commander. That's what Li Er was used for. But with Luo Wu by his side, he had no choice but to let him go. He said solemnly: "Appoint Su Dingfang as the commander-in-chief of the Northern War Zone. Li Junxian
As deputy, I will vigorously develop people's livelihood after returning to the Western Regions. I don't have enough civil servants, so I can only use the military as an agent. I will hand it over after the civil servants are appointed."
"Thank you, Young Master (King of Han)!" Su Dingfang and Li Junxian were overjoyed and solemnly clasped their fists.
"The appointment of other army commanders, division commanders and other personnel will be decided through discussion between the two of you. However, you cannot be partial to the grassland ministries that you have taken refuge in. Submit a list." Qin Huaidao said with a smile, no doubts about those who are suspected, no doubts about those who are employed, and full delegation of power.
When everyone heard that Su Dingfang was responsible for making appointments and dismissals, they all looked at Su Dingfang with envy in their eyes.
Su Dingfang did not dare to trust anyone, so he quickly said: "Thank you, Young Master, for trusting me. I will recommend two candidates for each position, and list the merits, conduct, etc. in detail, and ask the Young Master to make a decision."
It is one thing to trust the King of Han, but another thing to do himself. Su Dingfang is not stupid.
Qin Huaidao smiled and did not answer, and turned to look at everyone. His eyes fell on Fang Yiai, who was full of expectations. They both walked out together. Everyone has become the commander-in-chief. How could Fang Yiai not be tempted?
"Fang Yiai?"
"Arrived!" Fang Yiai quickly stood up and clasped his fists, his eyes eager.
Qin Huaidao continued: "Appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the central theater, stationed in Loulan, Qiemo, Ruoqiang, Yangguan, Yumenguan and Dunhuang. Cheng Chuliang, who is staying at Yumenguan, will be the deputy."
"Thank you, King Han!" Fang Yiai was overjoyed. Hanzhou is the foundation, and this trust is heavy.
Qin Huaidao motioned for him to sit down, his eyes fell on Xue Rengui and Cheng Chubi, thought for a moment, and said: "Brother Xue, Cheng Chubi, there are more than 30,000 prisoners in Hanzhou who were captured after the last Turkic prince's defeat.
The road construction should be almost complete. Based on these prisoners of war, plus the existing garrison of Hanzhou, we will form an army to guard Hanwang City, with Brother Xue as the commander-in-chief and Cheng Chubi as deputy."
The Imperial City of the Han Dynasty is the foundation among the foundations, and Qin Huaidao would not trust it if it were left to others.
"It all depends on the young master's orders." Xue Rengui also felt Qin Huaidao's unconditional trust and responded solemnly.
Cheng Chubi did not expect that he would be promoted to deputy, one level higher than the commander, and he agreed wholeheartedly.
"Bring all the original troops from Yuegong City and form them into a guard regiment." Qin Huaidao added, then looked at Duke Wei Li Jing, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Shibo, you'd better come back to Hanzhou with me.
, the military department cannot be empty."
"Okay, I've fought enough for more than a year, so let's go back." Li Jing agreed.
Qin Huaidao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Derjian: "Brother Shi, please go back as well. The staff cannot be in vain. It must be built and put into operation. You can draw the required manpower from all armies."
"Follow the order!" Li Derjian agreed wholeheartedly. Although he also wanted to lead the troops on one side, he was unable to use force to subdue the arrogant and powerful generals. He felt that going to the staff headquarters would be more effective.
Finally, Qin Huaidao's eyes fell on Luo Ying and continued: "Luo Ying, I will promote you to the commander-in-chief of the special operations force and expand it to 50,000, 20,000 army, 20,000 air force, and 10,000 artillery force. The specific situation will be discussed in detail later.
listen."
"Thank you, King Han!" Luo Ying was overjoyed and quickly thanked him, his eyes shining brightly.
Others are also envious. Although there are only 50,000 troops, the combat effectiveness of the special operations force is obvious to all. Twenty thousand can defeat one hundred thousand without any problem. Now that there is an air force and an artillery force, a unit that everyone has never heard of, the future combat effectiveness may be unbelievable.
This is trust, this is the absolute trump card!
With this army here, no one dares to have any dissent.
