Chapter 1755 Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish
Not long after.
Outside the Dezheng Hall, the sound of brisk footsteps was heard. Emperor Chu looked up and saw Naya entering the hall with three people behind him.
He glanced at the three people attentively and confirmed that the people coming were Li Bao, Yu Dayou, and Kou Zhun.
"Caomin Kou Zhun, Li Bao, Yu Dayou, see your majesty!"
After entering the palace, the three of them knelt down and saluted one after another. The loud sound spread, and Emperor Chu motioned for the three of them to stand up and take their seats without raising his wrist.
Kou Zhun has a talent for managing the world and is rich in talents. He was born and raised in Taichu City and has witnessed the changes in Taixu and Shitian.
Even so, he did not choose to enter the official career. This time he was summoned. Emperor Chu wanted him to serve as the governor of Taixu County and take charge of the 108 cities in Taixu.
However, all this is just the idea of Emperor Chu. It also depends on whether he is qualified for the task. If he cannot shoulder the heavy responsibility of building and managing Taixu Land, Emperor Chu will also consider keeping Zhang Liang.
Being in charge of the 108 cities of Taixu is equivalent to a feudal official, and the power in his hands is not small at all.
"Kou Zhun, I want to make you the governor of Taixu County and take charge of the 108 cities of Taixu. I wonder if you have the confidence!"
Kou Zhun was a little frightened because of the blessing from heaven. He couldn't even believe his ears. The governor of Taixu County was in charge of the cities. He had too much power. In an instant, he went from an ordinary citizen in Taichu City to a big official in charge of tens of millions of people.
The ups and downs were so fast and so exciting that Kou Zhun was caught off guard.
"Your Majesty, I am confident that I can manage Taixu County well!"
Kou Zhun suddenly stood up, raised his fist and saluted, with a firm expression and a sonorous and powerful voice.
"Kou Zhun, I asked you to be the governor of Taixu County. First, let's talk about what good ideas you have about post-disaster reconstruction work."
Hear the sound.
Kou Zhun raised his head and said confidently, "Your Majesty, the land of Taixu has always been rich and fertile. The land is vast and connected to the Tianhe River in the west. The people should not be so poor."
"We have experienced the devastation of Taixu, Sky Devouring, and Light in three successive wars. The mountains and rivers were shattered, and the people were in dire straits. However, I feel that we have still accomplished a great deal."
"After the flood, the divine grace was overwhelming, and the people were busy investing in the construction. This is a good start. Next, we should complete the post-disaster reconstruction and the development of Taixu County in three steps."
"First, distribute the land ravaged by floods to the people for cultivation and planting."
"Second, the empire funded the construction of houses for the people so that they would no longer gather in the city."
"Third, develop the Tianhe sea area and build a larger port so that people can go fishing and even go to the Western Continent for business."
Kou Zhun spoke, and Emperor Chu nodded slightly, agreeing very much with the three points he proposed, among which the development of the sea area coincided with him.
The most important thing is to let all the people work, and work is the primary productive force.
The refugees were escorted by the Chu army to Aurora City. It was time for them to return to their homes. As for the distribution of land and the construction of their homes, Kou Zhun needed to implement these tasks one by one.
"Kou Zhun, the three-point method you proposed is simple and effective. I think it is very implementable. Just go ahead and do it. I will fully support you."
"Your Majesty, I must work hard first, be helpful without spending any money, work without resentment, be lustful without being greedy, be peaceful without being arrogant, and be powerful without being fierce."
"Very good, I'll wait and see!"
At this time, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liang, Bai Qi, and Emperor Xin came to the outside of the Dezheng Hall. Cao Zhengchun entered the hall and informed the Emperor of Chu that he immediately ordered them to come in.
It's better to come early than to come by chance. The Emperor of Chu was just about to send someone to announce their entry into the palace.
The ministers entered the Hall of Dezheng, bowed one after another and took their seats. Emperor Chu asked Kou Zhun, Li Bao, and Yu Dayou to introduce themselves. This was a way to get to know each other and they would inevitably interact with each other in the future work.
"Gong Jin, where is Jiguang and how are his injuries?"
Zhou Yu and Qi Jiguang followed the sound and stood in the center of the hall, bowing and saluting.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry for your concern, but I have already recovered from my injuries."
Emperor Chu's gaze passed over Zhou Yu and Qi Jiguang. Their injuries were healed, and their former glory was restored.
"Gongjin, Jiguang, what do you two think about this battle with the Bright Empire?"
Qi Jiguang and Zhou Yu stood firm at Kuangsha Pass. They were always on the front line of the battlefield and had been fighting the enemy for the longest time. Asking them what they thought about the Guangming enemy was definitely the most real and effective.
The two looked at each other, and Qi Jiguang said: "Your Majesty, the Bright Empire is far away from home, and its ships are stronger and more powerful than Chu. The three armies of Wu and Chu suffered greatly in this battle, so the promotion of firearms is inevitable.
OK."
"In a battle on the battlefield, we may be able to win with the superiority of cavalry, but once we retreat to the sea, the three armies of Wu and Chu can only retreat and sigh."
"Navy, strong ships and cannons are what I and Chu need most right now. There are many cities along the Tianhe River. If the enemy troops come back and attack the coastal cities one by one, the people will never have peace."
"Your Majesty, if the people are prosperous, the country will be strong. With Wu Chu's current strength, I can already look across the world, open up sea areas, forge strong ships and cannons, build a naval force belonging to Chu State, and extend the territory to the Western Continent."
"Your Majesty, you have said that if the invaders can go, I can go too. The enemy armies of Guangming are entering the Eastern Continent one after another. Why can't our navy of Chu go to the Empire of Guangming?"
Qi Jiguang's impassioned voice was as loud as a bell, and the noise in the hall was extremely noisy. The soldiers did not expect that Qi Jiguang had such a deep understanding of the Guangming enemy.
Every word is precious and hits the mark.
"good!"
"General Qi's words were concise and comprehensive. He pointed out the shortcomings of our army and proposed improvement plans. I am very pleased."
"Just now I was discussing with Kou Aiqing the development of Taixu County. General Qi mentioned the preparation of the navy, the opening of sea areas, the withdrawal and promotion of firearms, and the forging of treasure ships. I have kept all these in mind."
"The right way is to govern a large country like cooking small dishes. Things must be resolved one by one. I have appointed Kou Zhun as the governor of Taixu County."
"Qi Jiguang, Zhou Yu, Li Bao, Yu Dayou, and Zhang Shun stepped forward to accept the seal!"
"Feng Zhou Yu as the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou as the Governor-General of the Navy, Li Bao and Zhang Shun as the Admirals of the Navy, and you and other five people are responsible for the establishment and training of the Chu Navy."
"As for the treasure ship and firearms, I will ask the Academy of Sciences to start forging them as soon as possible and strive to put them into the sea as soon as possible."
Kou Zhun was promoted to the governor of Taixu County. Qi Jiguang and Zhou Yu were all promoted. At the same time, Emperor Chu gave them great rights to recruit talented people among the people. Anyone with talent can be reused.
.
At the same time, Emperor Chu had no involvement in the establishment and training of the navy. Zhou Yu, Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dayou made the final decision.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will never disgrace my mission!"
The five generals Qi Jiguang and Zhou Yu bowed to express their gratitude, with expressions of ecstasy on their faces, clearly looking like they were going to do something big.
............
At night.
The lone star hangs in the sky, the cold wind blows, and the dead trees on the distant mountains are swaying, and their shadows are like ghosts walking in the dark night.
Outside the Dezheng Hall, only Zhang Liang and Zhuge Liang were standing on both sides of Emperor Chu. The night wind blew slowly, and Emperor Chu suddenly spoke.
"Kongming, Zifang, starting after dusk, I felt a trace of the dragon's breath, which should be coming from the direction of Muke Village."
"The dragon is hidden in the west, and heaven and earth are united. Your Majesty's words are reasonable. From the celestial phenomena, we can see that there is indeed a sign of dragon energy overflowing in the direction of Muke Village." (To be continued)
