In addition to building houses for the ruling class, the highlands in Huaizhong City also served as weapons warehouses and granaries. The warehouses and warehouses close to the Huaishui River were essentially different.
Places near water sources are generally temporary warehouses or transfer yards.
After the beginning of summer, the intensity of the war between Wei and Zheng suddenly intensified, and both Zheng Chengzi and the monarch of Wei seemed to have good helping hands.
Zheng Chengzi borrowed a large amount of grain from Zhou State, and apart from part of it being used as military ration, most of it was used to pay Li Jie.
At this time, Li Jie's northernmost major construction site was in the Nandun Kingdom. Dun Ziqi, the king of the Nandun Kingdom, shamelessly went to Jishui to receive the grain in person.
The monarch's seals were all handed over to Li Jie's people. He was willing to be a tool and could arrange whatever arrangements were made by Huaizhong City. Anyway, as long as he did not go back to his hometown to deal with those gangsters, he would never return to the capital of Nanton.
no problem.
"Shou Li, over at Nandun, the Zheng people want more eagle feather arrows."
"Haven't we already sent 40,000 arrows? Why do we need more?"
President Li was immediately shocked. Considering the scale of the Wei-Zheng war, it was hard to say whether five thousand arrows could be shot in one encounter. He was still thinking about more arrows. Can he finish them?
"I don't know."
The crocodile man shook his head, and then said, "The news I recently found out is that the Zheng people not only borrowed food, but also borrowed strong bows and crossbows."
"Can I borrow a strong bow or a crossbow?"
I was shocked just now, and now I am shocked. What the hell is this?! Is it easy to borrow food, and can it be borrowed?! In a war, the biggest loss is weapons and equipment. It is not a pity to die, but it is a pity to lose equipment.
The king is really tempted to urinate blood.
"Someone is lending it to me in Guangwu, Henan."
"Guangwu, Henan?! Isn't that the territory of the Jin Kingdom?!"
President Li's mouth twitched, "Is Wei Cao crazy?!"
The crocodile messenger who didn't look very sure immediately said: "Shou Li, this matter has not been confirmed yet, but Mr. Wu passed the news over just in case. Our people visited Zheng State and could only confirm that it was
I am from the Jin State, but I don’t know if it is the arrangement of the Jin State’s Shangqing.”
Intelligence is sometimes like this. If you encounter unconfirmed information, you must first report it to the superior. After analysis, it will be summarized. Maybe there will be no misjudgment, or the potential intentions of strategic opponents can be analyzed in advance.
"etc."
Li Jie asked the messenger to stay in the office for a while, and then he went to the back office, where "Little Peach Blossom Fairy" was translating some books.
After seeing Li Jie come in, Gui Zhen put the brush aside and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Whose territory belongs to the Jin Kingdom in Guangwu, Henan?"
"Gwangmu-eup?"
Guizhen thought for a while and said, "The Han family of Jin State."
"Han? Are you sure?!"
"Sure."
"That's strange. Hasn't the Han family always followed the Wei family?"
"In the early years, the Zhao family was the dominant family, so the Han family naturally needed the support of the Wei family. Today, the Wei family is just like the Zhao family back then, and the Han family is not what it used to be."
"This big company disease is really killing people."
"No birds?"
"Yes, no birds, no birds!"
After Li Jie got the answer, he turned around and left. When he got outside, he said to the passerby, "Check the Han family."
"The Han family of Jin?"
"That's right." Li Jie nodded, and then asked, "Is it Zhongxingyun who helped Wu Chan in Jin?"
"Exactly."
"Prepare Dr. Nanton's seal and the letter of appointment and send them to the State of Jin."
"yes!"
The position of Dr. Nanton was originally planned to be reserved for Dun Ziqi, but this top-notch licking dog cheated and said that he just wanted to do his part for the general, even if he was cleaning public toilets in Huaizhong City.
At first, President Li thought about letting a licking dog clean the public toilet. Wouldn't it make him full? Besides, Dun Ziqi is also the king of the country. With such a sign, any troubles in Nandun Country can be eased.
one time.
After all, now that they are arrogantly carrying out large-scale construction in Nanton Kingdom, Chen Guo’s cheap father-in-law is really under great pressure.
Chen Guo's talents were already in a state of decline, but in the end, one Gui Tian and one Oda were taken away, which made everyone in Chen Guo feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Li Jie, who unified the Huai River, seemed to them to be a more powerful overlord of the Huai River than the Xu Kingdom.
When the Xu State was showing off its power, there were still Emperor Zhou and the people of Chu who could mess with them, but now there is nothing wrong with it. Emperor Zhou himself just plays in the mud at home every day, and the State of Chu is even more stubborn, and all the territory east of the Dabie Mountains has been lost.
Clean!
No one can control Li Jie. How can Chen Guo with his little strength be able to counter Li Jie's troops?
What makes Chen Guo's people even more disgusted is that even if they want to ask for reinforcements, the closest friendly forces to Chen Guo are actually the troops of Xiang Yang.
And Biyang State has now become Fucheng of Wu State.
It can’t be said that Chen Guo asked people from Wu Guo to attack Li Jie!
Chen Guo has Chen Guo's entanglements. President Li himself doesn't want to irritate Chen Guo's fragile nerves too much, but things have caught up, right?
Now the territory is large enough, and the only country that needs to be renovated is the Nandun Kingdom. The rest of the land is considered "expert land", and every carrot and hole should be used to provide some benefits to the younger brothers.
Not everyone in the battle sequence wants to continue killing people at the captain level. Those who don't want to kill people have done enough and go and become a county captain. There is nothing wrong with that.
In the relatively safe rear, the role of the county lieutenant was to maintain law and order, capture thieves, and then frighten the small group of dishonest barbarians and barbarians.
In the long run, there is no hope for promotion, but droughts and floods will ensure a good harvest, and by retirement age, there will always be a lack of benefits.
It's unclear whether those ambitious people can continue to live.
A country like Nanton that has an immortal king, chaotic national conditions, political turmoil, economic collapse, and a declining population is indeed very suitable for "shock therapy."
There is nothing excessive about using a place like this to attract top talents who are one of a kind.
With the resources brought by Bank of China Cloud, a Nanton country was transformed and allowed to be governed, which was a bit overkill.
However, this is something Li Jie has carefully considered. It is still unknown whether Bank of China Cloud can fit the model of Huaizhong City. There are not a few children sent to Huaizhong City by nobles from various countries. President Li does not think that all these guys are born with rice.
Insects can't do anything but eat.
In fact, after being tempered, the personal qualities of these family wastes are obviously far better than those of common people and savages.
It is also about literacy, but the children of the nobles obviously progress much faster, and their ability to accept is much stronger.
After all, they have experienced literacy training since they were young, and basic arithmetic has its own rules. They may not understand this advantage themselves, but it shows that children of nobles are "smarter" than common people and savages.
Much more.
These guys were not able to quickly integrate into the system of Huaizhong City at the beginning. As time went by, they gradually became familiar with it and gradually adapted.
Li Jie thought about it, even if the talents of Zhongxingyun wanted to adapt to Huaizhong City, it would still take some time.
For the top leader of a new territory to transition, it won't hurt face, and you can get a closer look at the situation, which is the best of both worlds.
After writing the document, the seal of King Wu had already been stamped on the blank letter of appointment.
There are two documents with the seal of King Wu, one is naturally the letter of appointment, and the other is the decree of the established county.
Like the letter of appointment, the decree for establishing counties and counties is also blank. After laying down a piece of land, if Li Jie is willing to create a county, he can just fill in the name on it, then report it to Gusu, and that's it.
Anyway, the State of Wu was ruled like this in the past. It conquered Jiangbei and Huai River. It was always done blindly. The old monster didn't take the territory he obtained seriously at all.
In the old monster's view, with this majesty of this person, cats and dogs all have to be humble and small?
Isn't this kind of thing that can be solved naturally after just ten years or so?
To be honest, the old monster's idea... is so right!
But the key to the problem is whether the domineering boss can survive long.
If you live a long time, this matter will count; if your life is not long, then it is still a fool's errand!
President Li put the letter of appointment in a long copper tube and handed it to the messenger: "Seal it in wax and send it to the State of Jin."
"yes!"
The crocodile man began to seal the long copper tube directly in the office. After sealing, while the wax seal was still soft, Li Jie stamped the red wax seal with his private seal.
"You must hand it over to China Banking Cloud with your own hands, and no one is allowed to touch it."
"yes!"
After giving the instructions, Li Jie took out another jade token and handed it to the crocodile man, "Go to Xinzheng and receive another five hundred gold!"
"yes!"
After explaining everything, the crocodile man left.
Three days later, the Xinzheng team passing through Wangwu Mountain finally slowed down and slowly passed through Tianmen Pass, then turned to the river and headed for Jiangcheng.
When Xinzheng's team arrived in Jiangcheng, Zhongxingyun had already returned from lobbying in the north. After being prepared, he planned to leave for Zheng in three days.
As soon as he returned to Jiangcheng, he heard that a team had arrived from the south. Wu Chan secretly told him that there was a secret envoy from the lord among them.
This made Zhongxingyun feel very strange. He had already decided to become an official in the Kingdom of Wu, so why did Li Jie send a secret envoy here?
Having given a large amount of money before, BOC Cloud felt that these Wu people were idiots, and now they are sending a secret envoy. Are they trying to get the money back secretly or something like that?
With all kinds of cautions in mind, Bank of China Cloud was actually not sure what these Wu people were thinking, and always felt that they were a bit neurotic.
"Wu Jun, this secret envoy..."
"Mr. Zhongxing, the person here this time is Tongzhuan Crocodile, a confidant of the lord's confidant! Something big must happen!"
Wu Chan had a solemn look on his face and thought to himself: Could he be trying to assassinate a Jin official?!
Just as I was thinking wildly, I saw the crocodile man arriving at the Jiangyin Guild Hall. After making a strange salute, he took out a long copper tube from his arms, and then presented it to Zhongxing Yun with both hands: "Shou Li
If you have a destiny, you must leave it in the hands of Bank of China Cloud."
Wu Chan, who was about to join hands, immediately retracted his hand as if being pinched by a crab, then stood aside with a smile, and quickly said to Zhong Xingyun: "This is a confidential document!"
Surprised by Wu Chan, BOC Cloud was also a little nervous. He took the notice tube and after confirming that the wax seal was OK, he opened it and shook out the letter of appointment.
"Um?!"
Wu Chan had sharp eyes, and when he saw it was a letter of appointment, his eyes bulged. However, he didn't know much about the characters in Zhongxing Yun, so he asked Wu Chan on the side: "What does this mean?"
"The general appointed Zhong Xingyun as the doctor of Nanton County!"
“Nanton County?!”
The confused BOC Cloud has not yet figured out the situation. What the hell is this?!
"Nantun County..." Wu Chun turned his head and looked at the alligator man. The alligator man clasped his fists and saluted and said seriously, "Nandun Kingdom surrendered, so a county was established. Nanton Kingdom was changed to Nanton County, and a county official was established.
Now it seems, congratulations to the doctor of Bank of China..."
"Doctor...doctor?!"
Bank of China Cloud, who has been busy showing off recently, almost threw out the letter of appointment with his hand trembling.
