"Of course, this map is only a rough drawing of Xiazhou. The specific and detailed map will not be determined until the Xiazhou Prefectural Mufu Office conducts survey and mapping."
Hearing this, Meng Yi and others' eyes fell on the map on the wall in the middle of the study. They all knew that since Ying Gao mentioned the map, summoning them this time was most likely related to the map.
Looking over the map, Meng Yi felt a sense of wonder in his heart. He couldn't help but look at Ying Gao and said: "Such a large piece of land belongs to our Great Qin. After this battle, Ying General's military exploits should be awarded the title of Marquis!"
At this moment, Qian Ming suddenly spoke to Meng Yi and said: "Meng Yi Prefecture Shepherd, do you dare to ask if General Ying has not yet been granted the title of Marquis in the capital of Qin?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their attention to Ying Gao, and at the same time, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Meng Yi's face. It was really embarrassing to discuss this topic in front of Ying Gao, the person involved.
However, Meng Yi did not intend to blame Qin Ming. He knew in his heart that these people did not understand the culture of Da Qin, and it was normal to have such questions.
But speaking of it, even he had some doubts. Logically speaking, Ying Gao had already been granted the title of Marquis due to his military exploits.
Meng Yi knew very well. After all, with the help of the Jiuyuan incident, his eldest brother Meng Tian and Wang Ben both became marquises and opened up new territory and expanded the territory. Ying Gao had not established much yet.
Just one Liangzhou and one Xiazhou, this is a first-class military meritorious service. If the Great Qin Dynasty had never granted the title of king, Ying Gao could have been granted the title of king for his military achievements.
The more he thought about it, Meng Yi also looked at Ying Gao, and he was also very curious about this.
Sensing Meng Yi's gaze, Ying Gao couldn't help but smile and said: "In Great Qin, it is the most difficult to become a marquis. This requires solid military exploits."
"In the Qin Dynasty, one cannot be granted the title of a marquis without military merit. With my military exploits, I have actually reached the threshold of being granted the title of a marquis. The reason why my father has been holding back is because the time has not come yet."
"All you need to know is that in Great Qin, there are only a handful of people who are granted the title of marquis!"
At this point, Ying Gao changed the topic and said: "The reason I have said so much is not to tell you how difficult it is to become a marquis, but to tell you how difficult it is to become a marquis based on military merit in Great Qin."
"In the future of Great Qin, wars will occur frequently. As long as you are in the army, you may not be without the possibility of becoming a marquis."
"Of course, all of this requires you to fight hard. In the Qin Army, only the strong are worshiped. There is no room for the weak to survive."
After listening to Ying Gao's explanation, Qian Ming raised his hands towards Ying Gao and said, "Thank you, General Ying, for clearing up the confusion. I understand!"
"Um."
Nodding slightly, Ying Gao walked to the map, pointed at the map and said to everyone: "This is the basic territory of Xiazhou. It is basically determined."
"The first thing Japan will ask you to do today is to determine the location of Xiazhou's governance."
Having said this, Ying Gao's stern eyes passed over everyone, and then he chuckled and said: "You can speak freely on this matter."
"Of course, Ben will listen to the truth!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell into silence. Choosing a place of governance was not as simple as choosing a mansion.
Even if you choose a mansion, you still need to choose the landscape, feng shui and other conditions, let alone choose a state seat.
This is not only related to the country's people's livelihood, but also related to the future development of Xiazhou.
At this moment, Meng Yi's expression became extremely solemn. He knew that choosing a local government should not only consider political experience and culture, but also consider folk rumors, Feng Shui and the Five Elements.
This is an extremely complex matter.
"General Ying, the location of Xiazhou's administrative seat is connected to Xianyang of Bashu at the top, and to the extreme south at the bottom. Therefore, when choosing the location for the governance, it cannot be too close to Bashu, nor too far away from Bashu."
Fan Zeng's frown relaxed at this moment, and he turned towards Ying Gao and said, "It's just that there are no people in the extreme south because Qin Jinzhong coerced people to go north. In this way, there are two locations to choose from."
"One is used as a temporary government office for transition, which is beneficial to the government's administration, and then another real government office is built to prepare for the future."
"I think the real seat of Xiazhou should be chosen near Tang Mingguo."
"Sir, I agree with what the military advisor said!"
At this moment, Meng Yi also spoke: "I think that Wumeng will be the temporary seat of government. It is close to Bashu and the location is relatively superior."
"And the real government seat, I also feel, should be established on the homeland of Tangming Kingdom."
Meng Yi and others chose the hometown of Tang Ming Kingdom because, firstly, there were no people in the area, which was conducive to the construction of the government office, and the other reason was that Tang Ming Kingdom was located in the center of Xiazhou.
If the government is established here, it can take care of both the south of Bashu and the extreme south. From here, it can control all aspects of Xiazhou's east, west, north, and south.
At this moment, others headed by Qian Ming also began to express their position, saying: "General Ying, we also agree with the words of the military advisor and the state pastor, temporarily establishing it in Wumeng, and the real government will be established in the homeland of Tangming Kingdom.
"
Hearing this, Ying Gao chuckled and couldn't help but take a deep look at Qian Ming and others. He naturally knew that only Meng Yi and Fan Zeng had seriously considered the matter of setting up a governance office.
Others are just following them.
Because except for Qian Ming and Dian Jun, everyone else is a military general. It is weird for a military general to be able to see the deep meaning.
The homeland of Tang Mingguo!
In fact, in Ying Gao's mind, his choice was also based on Tang Ming's homeland, because to set up a government office, it must have convenient water and land transportation, and a river is needed to nourish the city.
In Tang Ming Kingdom, there was a river that was famous even in later generations, called the Mekong River.
In later generations, there was a city in the middle reaches of the Mekong River called Vientiane, but Ying Gao didn't like this name. He preferred an ancient title.
Moon City.
It is said that Wanxiang in ancient times was a semicircular city with mostly white or yellow buildings surrounded by green bamboo forests, looking like a crescent moon from a distance.
This name is more suitable for the tastes of Central Plains people.
"Um."
Ying Gao nodded and said to Fan Zeng and others: "Pack up your things. After the scholars and people from the court arrive at Ailao King City, we will go south to the homeland of the Ming Dynasty for on-site inspection."
"Now move on to the second thing!"
Hearing this, Fan Zeng and Meng Yi looked at each other and did not object to Ying Gao's decision. After all, if they wanted to set up a governance center, they would have to make an on-site inspection before making a decision.
A government office has a great impact on a place.
At this moment, Meng Yi raised his hand towards Ying Gao, with a slightly flattering smile on his face, and said, "I wonder what the second thing that General Ying is referring to is?"
