Since people asked about Bu Nao, and it was not Lingnan, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, Chen Duan felt that he could "speak nonsense".
"Qin II died for many reasons——"
Even if he has not read history books, Chen Duan still has advisers around him.
Privately, we will also "learn from history".
Chen Duan was feared by Chen Jing, not because Chen Jing was "using himself to save others", but also because Chen Duan was really ambitious.
Since we are ambitious, it is not appropriate to study the history of our predecessors.
Therefore, Chen Duan can really tell the many reasons for the demise of the Qin Dynasty.
Gu Qingcheng was too lazy to listen, so she interrupted him directly and said, "There are indeed many reasons, but 'Qin's law is too harsh', so I don't want to mention one of the reasons."
When Gu Qingcheng brought up that topic, did he want to remind Buqi to use military methods to govern the place?
In military camps, military laws should indeed be strict.
However, it does not apply to governing local areas.
Qin's laws were notoriously harsh. If you were late for the corvee service, you would be beheaded. How could Chen Sheng and others not rebel?
On the surface, we are looking at whether Qin seems to be destroyed by the second generation.
But if Qin's laws are not changed, even if Fusu is in Taiwan, he will not last long.
To govern troubled times, heavy codes are needed.
But Tiandong has been unified and peaceful, so we need to make timely adjustments.
Comfort, gentleness, stability, peace!
Chen Duan:......
He is not stupid.
And Gu Qingcheng's "reminder" is not obscure.
Haha, I moved Qin Fa out.
How come, in the eyes of the little girl of the Gu family, her Liang Wang has become as "tyrant" as Qin II?
Tsk, why don't you give her a little trouble at the city gate?
The little girl was so petty that she actually used ancient irony to call him a tyrant!
Gu Qingcheng caught a glimpse of Chen Duan's dumbfounded look out of the corner of his eye, and knew that he had misunderstood.
Uh, okay, Gu Qingcheng admitted that she was indeed suspected of "retaliation" and took a small verbal advantage.
But, in reality, did she really want to remind Chen Duan——
"To the east of the palace, Guangcheng is the port in Lingnan. It is the most prosperous. There are many merchants from Lingnan and even overseas."
The prosperity of Guangcheng is not only due to its abundant products, but also its superior geographical location.
Close to the sea, close to the mainland.
It has a natural port and excellent shipping conditions.
Merchants traveling from north to south gather here.
The prosperity of business will naturally drive the local economy.
Chen Duan saw that Gu Qingcheng no longer "talked about the past" and returned to Guangcheng itself.
The prosperous commerce in Guangcheng was mentioned very much.
He nodded and agreed, "Guangcheng is indeed prosperous. Several business houses have done business in Jiankang, even in the Northern Dynasty!"
Knowing that business was booming, Chen Duan increased the management of merchants.
Raise tax laws, limit prices, and use laws to control Guangcheng's business.
etc!
Law!
Qin Fa?
Chen Duan seemed to be blushing.
He looked at the beautiful girl at the east end.
"Gu Qing, I don't think he should use the same military methods to manage merchants?"
Chen Duan straightened up and looked straight at Gu Qingcheng.
"Whether it should or should not be done is not for him to make a judgment. Instead, he wants to see whether the city is stable and whether the people can work happily."
Gu Qingcheng replied calmly.
Chen Duan: "Oh? His Guangcheng is not stable? The people are not happy with their work?"
Gu Qingcheng never talks nonsense to others, but he likes to give concrete evidence.
"You have been in the city for less than half a month, so you may have a glimpse of the situation. However, the situation in Guangcheng is indeed different from what you imagined."
"There are thirteen trading houses in the city, but eight of them are temporarily closed. The five that are open are not as prosperous as in past months."
"The price of rice in the city has not increased, but there is no rice for every shop."
Chen Duan was not wrong in controlling prices and raising commercial taxes.
Gu Qingcheng had similar measures in Luozhou and Yuezhou.
But he has "power" but no inducements.
Gu Qingcheng explained the current situation of Guangcheng's business, "...Businessmen pursue profits. It is far better to drive them away with profits than to suppress them with power and restrict them with laws!"
Chen Duan suddenly said, "So, I cooperate with Mr. Huang to run the shipyard together?"
Gu Qingcheng raised his eyebrows, oh well, he knew that during those few months in Lingnan, Chen Duan was competing for interests with the governor of Guangcheng.
He also conducted in-depth investigations into Lingnan.
"That's right!"
Gu Qingcheng admitted generously.
That's not a secret.
Moreover, Gu Qingcheng also wanted to show herself to Chen Duan.
In addition to her "harmonious" cooperation with the local wealthy families, she also has the skills to manage the city and her expertise in infrastructure construction.
"My lord, are you interested in going to his Low Yi Castle?"
Gu Qingcheng took the initiative to extend the invitation.
She knew that Chen Duan wanted to cooperate with her.
And Chen Duan also knew that she coveted his soldiers, his weapons and horses.
Both parties are interested, but both are observing and testing.
It is very necessary to show one's own strength in a timely manner.
"Since Gu Sanniang sincerely wants to ask for it, I will go and have a look!"
"Bu Nao, Sanniang has come to Guangcheng and will stay in Guangcheng for a few months."
"I heard that Sanniang is also training soldiers. I am quite curious. I wonder how my black armor soldiers compare with Sanniang's women's soldiers?"
Chen Duan very mentioned the three words "women's soldiers".
Did he deliberately tell Gu Qingcheng: This king wronged me? He also had a deep understanding.
So, you are not a thousand-year-old fox, so don’t play any tricks.
"I have long heard that the king of Liang has a method of training troops in the east of the palace. The black armor soldiers in the east are so brave and powerful that one is worth ten."
"If you are not lucky enough, I would like to go to the military camp to liberate Ran."
Gu Qingcheng is very sincere and does not just brag.
The fact that Chen Jing was afraid of Chen Duan was also related to the fact that Chen Duan had 20,000 elite soldiers in the east who were like wolves and tigers.
And Gu Qingcheng also coveted those 20,000 men.
…
The two sides went back and forth, and the atmosphere was "harmonious".
After lunch, Gu Qingcheng followed Chen Duan to his military camp.
Sure enough, the horses were sturdy, the helmets were bright, and the soldiers were howling, each one looked like a tiger about to rush out of the gate.
Such 20,000 troops, placed on the battlefield, would be enough to launch a large-scale battle.
Compared with the cavalry of the Northern Dynasties, they are not much different.
Gu Qingcheng's eyes were full of determination to win.
She treated Chen Duan wrongly and became even more enthusiastic.
There was no need to show off deliberately that time, Gu Qingcheng directly wrote a complete set of administrative regulations for the governance of Guangcheng.
Gu Qingcheng managed everything in an orderly and comprehensive manner in terms of land taxation, commercial taxes, land reclamation, people's welfare, water conservancy, road construction, etc.
She quickly wrote a set of methods to restore and develop Guangcheng's business, and actively contacted the local wealthy families.
Chen Duan felt more and more that the fourteen-year-old girl from the Gu family already had the potential to be a good foreign aid.
And her words and deeds are like a matron who can stabilize the home front and a good business partner.
Huoshui:...Suddenly I had a bad premonition.
When did my Queen Bidong become so, so "virtuous"?
