Chapter two hundred and thirty-eight of Xun's uncle and nephew
Next, Su Fan took Uncle Xun Yu and his nephew to the location of the Ministry of Industry, especially the place where the equipment was made. It took several days to visit the entire Donghai City.
At this time, Xun Yu's uncle and nephew realized how much power and potential their lord had.
Not to mention other things, in terms of conscription alone, the lord can recruit two to three million troops in a short period of time, and there is no pressure on logistics. Moreover, these soldiers recruited are not entirely old, weak, sick, or disabled, but have been trained for several years.
Long-lasting soldiers and horses.
After joining the army, they also realized why the soldiers under their lord were so elite.
They are completely out of work and train almost every day. Their military skills are very good, and they eat well. Their physical fitness is also very strong, and many of them even reach the level of strength training.
In terms of personal physical fitness alone, the soldiers of the East China Sea Territory are stronger than the Imperial Army.
The reason why the Forbidden Army is powerful is because the Forbidden Army has a special training method. Although it is very crude, it was also developed by the Shenhan court.
There are also corresponding body-building methods in the East China Sea Territory.
Generally speaking, no one would take out this kind of method and leave it to people at the bottom to practice it.
In addition to the army soldiers, the young men and women who usually live in the villages in the East China Sea Territory will be gathered together for training if there is no work in the farmland.
Of course Xun You knew the benefits of doing so.
It can be said that the physical fitness of these millions of young men is comparable to the regular armies under many princes.
It's just that this intensive training will inevitably consume more food. Even if many princes have regular army training, they only train once every few days.
Some are not even as good as these 'militiamen' under the Lord's rule.
When they came to the East China Sea Territory, Xun Yu and his nephew realized how powerful their lord was. He only had about 300,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and his territory was only the county of East China Sea.
But if it really wants to expand, I'm afraid it will be able to expand to a state in a very short time.
At night, Xun Yu's uncle and nephew stayed up all night.
In less than half a month, Donghai Territory has brought more surprises to the two of them than in the first half of their lives.
"Gongda, what do you think of my lord's East China Sea territory?"
"The people are prosperous and the animals are prosperous. This should be the scene of a prosperous age."
After Xun You was silent for a moment, he slowly uttered a few words.
"Yes, my lord should be the hero of the world, as powerful as Yao and Shun."
In Xun Yu's eyes, Su Fan's abilities were comparable to those of ancient sages. After all, he single-handedly turned the former wilderness of the East China Sea Territory into the holy land of Taoyuan it is now.
Such talent is truly unparalleled, even Xun Yu himself felt ashamed of himself.
“It seems we made the right choice”
Xun Yu's eyes were burning, and he followed him at first because of his title as Yuzhou Mu and Zhendong General.
The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers choose their king.
Su Fan has gained a certain reputation in Hanoi. As a child of an aristocratic family, they are destined to choose a side.
Since Su Fan has bowed down and come here, of course they can't help but give him face and come and have a look. If they are not happy with what they are doing, they can leave at any time.
During the month in Donghai County, Xun Yu had already made up his mind due to his lord's trust. After arriving in Donghai Territory, Xun Yu decided to assist Su Fan in unifying the world.
He is not a minister of the Han Dynasty, nor is he die-hardly loyal to the divine Han. Don't blame the common people for the divine Han to be in his current situation. They rebelled because they could no longer survive.
The Lord's East China Sea Territory can be said to be the prosperous age in his mind, where the people live and work in peace and contentment. All of this was created by the Lord in just a few years.
The potential of the East China Sea Territory is so great.
"But are there too many Mohist disciples on my lord's side?"
Xun Yu was also a little worried.
He is a disciple of Confucianism and has no hatred towards Mohism or other schools. In his opinion, as long as Confucianism, Legalism or Mohism can help improve one's strength, that is the most important thing.
However, he knew that today's scholars are still dominated by Confucianism, and the Mohists have always been suppressed by Confucianism.
Confucians are aware of the horrors of Mohism.
"Wen Ruo, are you worried that my lord's place will trigger a conflict between Mohism and Confucianism in the future?" Xun You naturally knew what Xun Yu was worried about.
"Yes, Mr. Lu is an orthodox Mohist disciple and serves as the chief official of the Ministry of Industry. My lord, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Agriculture are obviously from Da Sinong and Shaofu. Although they have changed their names, they are
It’s still an official position”
"If the Lord only accepts some Mohist disciples, it is possible for Confucianists to accept them, but if Mohist disciples are allowed to reach high positions, it will inevitably arouse dissatisfaction and even hatred among many Confucians."
Xun Yu didn't know how strong Confucianism was, but if they really targeted the lord together, it would be a big trouble.
At least most of today's talents come from Confucianism.
"Haha! Wen Ruo, your worries are unnecessary. Do you think that my lord's use of Mohist disciples will cause dissatisfaction among the Confucians, and that he will be targeted at that time, and no one will want to come over?"
"good!"
Xun Yu nodded.
"Then what do you think of today's East China Sea Territory?"
"It's very good, very dynamic, with great potential, abundant resources and vast resources, it's simply unimaginable,"
These days, he has also seen the barns in the East China Sea Territory, and the barns are filled with grain.
Seeing these grains, Xun Yu felt quite at peace in his heart. In troubled times, nothing is as precious as grain.
"Especially the official way. It's unimaginable that my lord can actually build such a good way."
What shocked Xun Yu the most was the wide concrete road. In his eyes, this official road was a lifeline. No matter what natural or man-made disaster happened, the government could deal with it immediately and quickly.
Distributing supplies is very convenient and quick.
"Yes, this official system allows the lord to react quickly when encountering war."
When Xun You heard this, he also nodded. The official way in his eyes could greatly speed up the army's travel and reduce the difficulty of food transportation.
And they all know that the lord will promote this official policy to the entire Donghai County and even the entire Xuzhou.
If the whole of Xuzhou is really involved, then all parts of Xuzhou will be connected together, and in this way, power will be greatly concentrated.
After all, once the road is open, any government order will be implemented quickly, and it will be difficult for the local government to hide anything.
Your chances of becoming a local emperor are greatly reduced.
"Official affairs aside, you have also seen that here in the East China Sea Territory today, the government is almost well-connected. Although there are some places where management is chaotic, there has never been any trouble."
"Most of the people here are not Confucian disciples, and they still keep this place in order."
"Besides, look at Captain Zao, he is an orthodox Confucian disciple, but he has so many Mohist disciples and Taoists, but he doesn't say anything at all?"
"Really smart people don't care at all. As long as the lord has enough power, there will still be many people who will come to seek refuge with the lord."
"As for the power of my lord, you have also seen it these days. In terms of mobilization ability, my lord is definitely the most powerful among the princes in the world."
Xun You was quite shocked by the militia system in the East China Sea Territory. If he persisted in this way, the number of soldiers and horses in the East China Sea Territory could continue to increase.
