"Tuntian!" said frustratedly: "Instead of letting millions of people eat dry rice, it is better to let them eat dry rice and increase some income for my Youzhou!" Although Youzhou

is rich and the military salary of two million people is not a lot of pressure, since it can create more wealth, why not do it?

"That's a good idea. Li Tianlong nodded and said, "Do you have any other suggestions?"

"Hehe, lord." Guo Jia smiled: "Jia has a proposal. Although this tuntian is good, it is also dispensable. I'm not short of that grain in Youzhou! It's better to let these two legions go north to pioneer the land

!" "Pioneering?!" Li Tianlong suddenly smiled when he heard this: "Good idea!"

Fu Zhi frowned: "No." My lord, the farther north you go, the colder it gets, and the four fields are full of frozen soil, and there are no people, so no matter how big the territory is, what's the use of coming?

Chen Qun also spoke: "The northern territory is deserted, the weather is cold, and it is quite inconvenient for the army to advance. And it was that land that was included in the territory, because of the sparse population, it was inevitable to migrate north. But the environment is too poor, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve!" Li

Tianlong thought about it carefully when he heard this, and felt that what the two said was not bad, but compared with these shortcomings, the benefits gained by entering the northern Xinjiang were greater! Li Tianlong did not say anything about this benefit, but only fixed his eyes on Guo Jia.

Guo Jia was confident and said with a smile: "It's not that Jia hasn't considered these reasons. But have you ever thought that the invasion of northern Xinjiang is not all about territory!" Guo Jia said, and asked in a blink of an eye: "The rise of a force is nothing more than money, grain, system, and the advanced nature of the leading class, and it goes without saying that the grain output in Youzhou is huge; the political system is enlightened and advanced, and all kinds of suppression in agriculture and commerce have been relaxed; it is needless to say that the lord is wise and martial, and everyone here is a great talent in the world, not to mention that.

"In addition, there is also the strength of the army! The strength of the army is the premise of ensuring all this!"

"My Youzhou army is strong, and it is obvious to all. The method of training troops from the source of self-righteousness can train an army with an iron will and a man as one. But don't forget that there is also the equipment of the fine grain!

Where did the steel armor and steel knives come from? Iron ore and coal mines!"

"Iron ore has been an important weapon of the country since ancient times, and its importance goes without saying. But the importance of coal mines is no less than that of iron mines! Without coal, where would steel come from? Without steel, how could we arm the army? More importantly, the use of coal today has penetrated into almost thousands of households, and has already threatened an indispensable part of the lives of the people of Youzhou!"

"Although my Youzhou is very rich in these two mineral deposits, wouldn't it be better if I could have more mineral deposits?" Guo Jia looked at the few people who were gradually suddenly surprised, and said: "I have heard the lord say that in the north of my Youzhou, the land in the north of the grassland, there are rich coal and iron resources!

Although it is cold in the extreme north, it is just mining, and it can make do!"

"Hehehehehe..." everyone laughed.

"Well, that's it. Li Tianlong clapped his hand and said: "On the same day, the two generals Zhao Yun and Yan Liang will be ordered to convey the task of pioneering and prospecting. In addition, several prospecting experts were recruited from Youzhou College to pioneer with the army. After all, although Zilong and Yan Liang fought well, this prospecting and steelmaking is not what they are good at, hehehehe..."

Li Tianlong said with a smile: "The military arrangements are basically like this, and now I would like to ask the public to talk about the problems of people's livelihood."

Hearing this, he arched his hand to Li Tianlong and said: "Since the great war in 185, from the official calculation in 186, to the present nearly four years, the total population of Youzhou Bei County, the five cities of Northern Xinjiang, and the Liaodong Territory under the jurisdiction of the Lord Duke, including the prisoners of the original various ethnic groups, has exceeded 100 million, and the specific data obtained in this year's census is 125.3 million, reaching a quarter of the heyday of the entire Han Dynasty!"

"Let's talk about food production. The grain producing areas of Youzhou and its dependent territories are concentrated in the three central and southeastern parts of Youzhou and a large area of the Liaodong Dependent Territory, with an area of 15 million mu of cultivated land, and this year's total grain output has reached 320 million stones! The per capita output has reached almost 30 million stones!

"This year, the tax revenue from the reserve commercial sector has increased slightly compared with last year, reaching 15 million gold!" After

speaking, it was Chen Qun's turn.

Chen Qun is in charge of Youzhou's administration and temporarily manages the legal system on behalf of Tian Feng, so in the past few years, he has been very busy, and his whole person has lost a little weight, but because of the conditioning of blood and wine, his spirit is very good, otherwise Li Tianlong would have given him a vacation and let him recuperate.

"My lord, there is not much to pay attention to when it comes to the administration of officials. As far as the promotion, appointment and dismissal of officials are concerned, our Youzhou has formed an independent and unique system. Elementary schools, middle schools, and graduate schools are progressing step by step, and Confucianism, military science, science, and medicine are parallel.

As for the examination of the performance of officials, with the assistance of the secret department, it is very simple, which official's behavior is hindered, and the dismissal is: which official has outstanding political performance, can be promoted.

"As for the legal system of punishment..."Speaking of this, Chen Qun grinned at the corners of his mouth, and said with a bitter face: "Maybe it's because Qun is not good at it, but it can make me dizzy and haggard recently

!" "How come?" Li Tianlong said: "I see that you have always handled it very well, the entire Youzhou can be said that the officialdom is ruled by officials and the people are not closed at night

!" "Lord!" Chen Qun looked like he was in distress and said: " In the past two years, public order incidents have become more and more frequent. It is not that the place is restless and bandits are rampant, but that there are often fights and brawls in various places.

"Often, over trivial matters or quarrels, fights break out on the streets, and sometimes even group fights!

Although there have been no major fatalities due to the severity of the law and the strict inspection of public security in various localities, a careful count of these incidents has a tremendous negative impact on social order!"

"The local yamen are often overcrowded, and officials have reported it many times. But because it did not cause serious consequences, it was really difficult to deal with the "Ding frame brawl, at most detained and detained for half a month, and then according to I, the people did not have a headache."

Li Tianlong was speechless when he heard this, and only after a while did he say: "How can this be?

The cause of this phenomenon is many and complex.

There are two points.

This caused this to be frustrated for a moment, and continued: "First, just because my Youzhou is quite rich now, every family has surplus food every year, and there is spare money every year, so they no longer have to worry about their livelihood, and they have some excess energy. "Second, because of the popularity of grassroots martial arts institutes. "

Oh, where does this start?" Li Tianlong said curiously. Li Tianlong can understand that the people have excess energy and idle eggs, but what does this have to do with the grassroots martial arts academy?"

In addition, the instructors of the grassroots martial arts academy are basically from the veterans of the Youzhou Army, so most of the educated teenagers have the blood of soldiers. A few years ago, when the Zhuhu and Liaodong lords in Northern Xinjiang had not yet been destroyed, and the threat of Youzhou was still there, everyone hated the same enemy, which was not bad. Now that the Hu clan has been wiped out and the countries have been destroyed, the young people seem to have lost the goal of venting their blood, and their energy is too high, so, "I see!" Li Tianlong was stunned, and then fell silent.

"A nation cannot be without blood. A nation without blood is destined to be a lamb to be slaughtered.

"But if the blood is too strong, it's not good.

"Because the flesh is strong, it is difficult to tolerate and easy to be impulsive. To put it mildly, because of the disappearance of trivial things, a big fight, or even red eyes, will cause death. At worst, it is said that there is no law for the king, and it is a chaotic people, and it will even bring calamity to the country and the people, causing irreparable losses.

"It's two sides of the same thing, and no one can be perfect.

"If this martial style is blocked, this king does not want to see it. Therefore, it can only be guided!"

"To put it mildly, it is to create conditions and give opportunities for them to vent. First, we can guide this blood to our own use and create something beneficial, and second, we can sort out the social order and improve the political system.

"And now, there is exactly this condition!" Li

Tianlong said a lot as if no one was around, the light in his eyes gradually grew, and suddenly, he looked up at Guo Jia, with a smile on his face.

At this time, if Guo Jia and the others still don't understand, then they can't be regarded as characters who have been passed down through the ages.

The four of them looked at Li Tianlong with admiration, and their expressions were full of admiration.

"It is an excellent note to direct the people's minds to the development of the Far North. Chen Qun said: "But my lord, in what name should this strategy be carried out? Is it

forced or left to his free choice?"

"My lord," he said, "if this thing is successful, there should be a large number of enthusiastic young people who will go to the far north." Too many people are too scattered and not conducive to the normal development of things, when a dedicated department should be set up to supervise the matter.

"Everyone, the lord is in his chest!" Guo Jia didn't spend that mind to meditate, raised his eyes to look at Li Tianlong, and saw that he was full of confidence in his smile, so he immediately woke up everyone and laughed.

"Oh!" everyone

stared at Li Tianlong.

Li Tianlong glared at Guo Jia and said with a smile: "You have a lot of eyes

!" "This king just had a flash of inspiration and thought of such a way!" Li Tianlong looked at the four of them and said, "Establish a guild, a public guild!"

In fact, this is also a way to let players relax, otherwise they will lose the market of the entire player, although Li Tianlong doesn't care about this, but not everyone doesn't care about their opponents blocking themselves, isn't it, so there is this mercenary union.

Everyone was even more interested and engrossed.

"This king calls it the Mercenary Guild!" Li Tianlong's eyes flashed with a strange light.

"Mercenary Guild?" everyone was confused.

"The main function of this guild is to release and hand over tasks!"

"What do you say?" Guo Jia was even more anxious and hurriedly asked. This is the first time he has heard of this so-called guild, such a functional nature! From ancient times to the present, it can be said that it has never been seen before! "The government issues tasks, and private individuals or groups accept tasks, and after completing and handing them over, individuals or groups are rewarded!" Li Tianlong said with a smile: "We divide mercenaries into several levels, and take the number and difficulty of completing tasks as the promotion criteria. In terms of welfare, it is either political welfare, such as the qualifications to be an official and join the army, or the secret book of martial arts, or the money and land! In terms of obligations, it is to assist the army in attacking cities, or to scout the enemy and detect opposing forces, or to help the people resist natural disasters!"

"In the mercenary union, like-minded people can also allow the formation of mercenary groups, and the mercenary groups are also divided into several levels, and each level also has corresponding benefits and obligations. Of course, the size and number of mercenary groups should be strictly scrutinized and controlled, there is no doubt about it.

"This expedition to the Far North is a good opportunity to initiate. When the mercenary union matures and the number of registered mercenaries reaches the standard, we can expand the goal, such as issuing a task to obtain the head of a certain country in Yingzhou and hand it over to the mercenaries to do, or posting that it is okay to explore the sea area, explore even the overseas continent

!" "In this way, according to the rules set, the role played by the mercenary union will be incomparable, or even irreplaceable!" After

Li Tianlong's words were finished, Guo Jia and the others were a little dumbfounded.

Extravagant, indeed generous!"

Lord," Guo Jia came back to his senses, frowned, and said, "As the lord said, there are two sides to everything.

The establishment of the mercenary union, the increase in the number of mercenaries, and the formation of the mercenary team will play a great role in promoting the development of Youzhou, but if the mercenary team is tempted and controlled by hostile forces, it will be tantamount to burying a huge hidden danger within us

!" "Not bad!" nodded approvingly, and added: "The mercenary union system can be said to be a new and never-before-seen system. When the mercenary guild grows, it will generate tremendous power, and if it is mastered, its benefits will be unmatched, and if it is not controlled, it will have a high chance of being counterattacked!"

the other two also nodded their heads repeatedly.

"You're not bad. Li Tianlong nodded and said with a smile: "But this king also has his own opinions." "

First, there is no doubt that the mercenary union must always be in the hands of the king, and it must be a law and regulation, and it will always be carried out!" "Second, the king is

not worried about the mercenaries being tempted and controlled by the locality. First, in terms of the comparison of the internal and external environment, our Youzhou has an absolute advantage, and whether it is the will of the people or the military strength, it is not comparable to other places outside Youzhou.

When the mercenaries walk out of Youzhou, they can deeply feel the difference between heaven and hell. Indeed

, the people of Youzhou are aspiring, and Li Tianlong's prestige is irreplaceable. The people don't know the Han Emperor, only Li Tianlong. Moreover, Li Tianlong's behavior inside and outside makes Youzhou people have a sense of pride and honor from the heart, and for outsiders, they are all proud and proud of themselves as Youzhou people.

It's a belief.

It is not easy to convince people of their faith.

"Both, the strength of my Youzhou army is the best in the world! This is a reassuring pill, no one dares to ignore it! Whoever has the heart to rebel has to consider the gains and losses! If you are a smart person, you will know what choice to make, if you are a reckless man, hehehe... "

If a reckless fool is tempted to make trouble without thinking, such a person is very easy to deal with, and naturally there is no need to be afraid. If you are a smart person, it is impossible not to see the advantages and disadvantages, and you will give up the lives of your whole family by painting cakes and money.

At the end of the day, there's only one reason.

Powerful!

I am strong, it is the pillar of the sky, the rain hits, I

will not move! Go and let him blow for some "Besides, isn't there still Wenhe?" Li Tianlong looked at Jia Xu and said with a smile: "There is a dark surveillance, secret guidance, and a guarantee, where can that nonsense happen?"

This clause apologizes, is it not the most powerful guarantee!

When everyone heard this, they were all impressed.

Regarding the mercenary system, in fact, Li Tianlong only had a flash of inspiration and came up with it.

As soon as the mercenary is said, in fact, in ancient Chinese history, there were very early days. Of course, we don't know if there was a dart game in the Han Dynasty, but it can be created!

The nature of the work of the dart game in history is the same as that of mercenaries.

The task is assigned by the employer, and the dart board receives the dart, and then completes the task and gets the reward. It's just that the limitations of the dart game are too small, and it has not completely stepped onto the stage of history.

Li Tianlong's move to establish a complete and government-led task system not only allowed them to really come to the forefront, but also completely extracted its potential and used it as a driving force for social development.

According to Li Tianlong's vision, the world at this time is still. It's small' and there are many places to be explored and discovered. Many resources are still buried in the wilderness and wilderness. Examples include sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes.

These three crops all originated in the Americas on the other side of the ocean, and their yields are extremely high, their uses are extremely wide, and their planting techniques are simple! If they can be used by the Chinese nation, Li Tianlong believes that from now on, there will absolutely be no more disasters of starvation to death

! Of course, it should be a long time before it is possible to grow these three crops! After all, it was still very difficult for Li Tianlong to cross the ocean and go to the other shore at this time!

But it was not impossible.

For example, the sailor. Li Tianlong's investment in the water division is greater than that of any other legion. For the study of the big ship, Li Tianlong has been paying attention to even the slightest progress of the Mo family.

In order to let his sailors be able to travel around the world without fear of the storms and storms in the ocean, take what he wants, and go where he wants

! There is also a way to go to the Americas, that is, from the easternmost corner of Asia, when the Bering Strait freezes in the cold winter every year!

These things are very troublesome for Li Tianlong and for Zhengsuofu. But if it is distributed to the people and let the mercenaries do it, then it will be much simpler

! In this way, Li Tianlong only needs to issue tasks and wait for Weiguo, and everything will be fine!

This is the ultimate goal of Li Tianlong to create a mercenary union

!" "During this time, Changwen has one more important thing to do!" Li Tianlong looked at Chen Qun and said seriously: "Changwen is proficient in ancient and modern laws, and this aspect is what you are best at.

As for the mercenary union, we must not only form invisible restrictions from all aspects, but legislation is the most important thing!"

"Therefore, when the mercenary union is established, that is, the day when the mercenary bill is promulgated!

After all, after such a long discussion, he was well aware of the pros and cons of the mercenary union and Li Tianlong's intentions, and he believed that he could make a perfect check and fill in the shortcomings in all aspects!

"So this king can rest assured!" Li Tianlong laughed.

"Now, you will put forward your own opinions and suggestions on the current political system in Youzhou.

"No, you don't. Guo Jia shook his head and looked at Li Tianlong: "The current system is still effective, and it is not time to reform the system." "

Not bad. Chen Qun also nodded yes.

"Hahaha..."Li Tianlong laughed and said quite domineeringly: "Indeed, it is true! It's not time to reform the system! But this king believes that this day is not far away

!" "I said how do I feel that the lord is a little different today, so that's the case!" Guo Jia's face stretched, as if he was very happy: "The lord has made a decision and no longer holds the Luoyang royal family?"

Li Tianlong smiled, his heart was a little heavy, and he shook his head and sighed: "Yes, make a decision!" The Luoyang royal family, after all, is a mud that can't support the wall

!" As he spoke, Li Tianlong's eyes became sharp, and he said: "The world of the Han Dynasty has no hope at all! I, Li Tianlong, can see it, the world is full of dry sores, what is needed is not to make up for the leaks, but to break and stand up!"

He clenched his fists fiercely and drank: "Lao Tzu has a saying: I have three treasures, one day is kind, two days is thrifty, and three days dare not be the first in the world."

I, Li Tianlong, don't believe in this evil, and I am willing to take the lead in the world and clean up the mountains and rivers for one day! The lord of the world, this king should not let go

!""Hahahaha...."Guo Jia heard this, his face was full of excitement, and he stood up and laughed without an image: "Lord, you finally understand! Do you know that Feng Xiao has waited so hard for this day?!"

"Yes!" Frustration also sighed: "Just like Feng Xiao said, this Youzhou is too small, and it is not enough for us to show our ability!"

This usually calm and modest frustration actually said such things, which shows his excitement.

"Hey, hey, hey..."Jia Xu's dark laughter made Chen Qun's face stiffen, and he only heard him laugh in a dark voice: "In this way, those empty cells in my dark dungeon may not be enough!" Li

Tianlong made a clear declaration of seizing the world for the first time, which made these old courtiers who had followed him for ten years excited!

One will have a bigger stage waiting for them to display their talents, after all, Youzhou is small, and now it has almost reached a bottleneck, and if you want to grow, you have to look outside: If Li Tianlong seizes the world, they will be the founding heroes! What a glory is this

? After all, isn't it just to worship the marquis and worship the generals?

This is the ultimate goal of scholars and warriors since ancient times!

Think about the Lingyun Pavilion on the Xuanhuang Tower, one day, the statue in it, admired by all generations, what a glory!

But the premise is that Li Tianlong has won the world, established a dynasty, and proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven!

When everyone temporarily suppressed the excitement in their hearts, Li Tianlong immediately said: "Regarding all aspects of military, politics, and people's livelihood, there are basically so many of them. As for the development of the dark department, there is Wen He, and this king does not have to worry. There is another important matter that needs to be resolved after discussing these things this time!"

"In the past, whenever a major event occurred in Youzhou, or a policy was issued, it was posted on the notice board of each city to let the people know. But the king thought that this was not enough.

"This king has thought about it for the past few days, and the entire Youzhou needs extremely strict supervision in all aspects. Only the shadow department and law enforcement agencies are too single. So the king decided to create a newspaper!".
