Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 181: Ports and Watchdogs
"Xue Rengui reported that the specialty products of Xihai County are A-grade sea fish and S-grade sea salt. In addition to building salt fields, sea salt can also be used to pickle fish. In addition, shipyards can be built at the mouths of local rivers to produce Ocean-going merchant ships for trade, and across from Seohae County is the land in the southern part of Korea.”
Xian Liang, who is in charge of the economy, encouraged Chutian to occupy a port a long time ago, first to mine sea salt, and second to develop foreign trade as soon as possible.
Maritime trade was very prosperous during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and even became an important source of finance for the Southern Song court.
Now it seems that shipping has no effect, but in the later stage, whether it is used to transport food and troops, or to fight against Goryeo and Dongying, strong navy is needed.
Chutian can train a high-level horse infantry army in one year, but given him a year, he may not be able to form a combat-capable navy.
If the crusade against Goryeo is across the Yellow Sea, the navy will need at least five or six years of preparation time.
Chutian had already made preparations: "You buy blueprints for salt drying fields, shipyards, docks, and navy camps from merchants, send them to Xihai County, and arrange for local officials to build them."
"Do you need your subordinates to personally go to Xihai County to preside over the construction?"
"No, you can stay in the lord's mansion, otherwise it will be inconvenient for me to use other people here."
Chutian arranged for a group of officials to take over Xihai County.
"How many levels are required for the salt farm, shipyard, wharf, naval battalion building?"
"The most advanced blueprints available in the salt yard are used. As for the shipyard, wharf, and naval battalion, level 4 is enough."
Chutian knew very little about the navy.
Tier 4 shipyards can produce plank boats (class 1 civilian ships), sentry ships (class 2 war ships), walking keels (class 3 war ships), squatters (class 4 war ships), small sand boats (14 meters long, 2.7 meters wide, single-masted hard-sail sailboats, used for coastal shipping along the river), medium-sized sand boats (17-21 meters long, 4.18-4.28 meters wide, two-masted hard-sail sailboats), which can basically meet the current needs.
The 4th-level navy battalion can recruit most common navy units. Unless it is a special navy unit, a higher navy battalion is required.
Advanced naval battalions can not only recruit high-ranking units, but can also recruit more soldiers at a time. A first-level barracks can recruit 100 soldiers at a time, and a fourth-level barracks can recruit 500 soldiers at a time.
Docks can increase the probability of ships on the route entering the port for supplies, and at the same time have a bonus to the port.
Chutian made plans to turn Xihai County into a port city.
As for Xu Sheng, Chu Tian remained in Liangshan Town to develop the Yihe Marine Division. The goal of the Yihe navy is to go south to besiege Xiapi City and control the Yihe River Basin.
Although the boats from the Yi River cannot be transported to the Yellow Sea, the trained sailors, boatmen, and navy soldiers can be sent to Xihai County.
Small and medium-sized wooden boats are not important, but sailors, soldiers, and boatmen are important. Chutian can use the wood from the coastal hills to build boats.
"The government monopolizes the sea salt in Xihai County, and the shipyard mainly produces cargo ships."
Considering that Chutian has no ability to fight at sea, the port of Xihai County is mainly for trade. In the future, it may even consider selling and purchasing goods to and from Yangzhou, Korea, and Dongying.
Xia Xia Liang reminded: "Lord Lord, you should set up a special salt and iron officer to control the salt and iron in each county."
Chutian has indeed overlooked something. Since it has decided to monopolize salt and iron, it is natural to have special officials to manage it: "Each county should set up one salt and iron official, and two salt and iron supervisors to prevent salt and iron. Iron officials use power for personal gain."
Chutian had to establish a monitoring mechanism.
Governing seven counties with a population of 2 million, Chutian's official team has thousands of people, if there is no supervision, corruption will easily occur.
Xia Xia Liang suggested: "It's better to take this opportunity to establish a monitoring system, and Fang Xuanling, who evaluates the performance of officials, is responsible for it. Unannounced inspections of officials are carried out from time to time."
Her words greatly benefited Chu Tian.
At present, the official performance evaluation system of Langya State is a small examination every year and a major examination every three years.
This is a regular review.
The irregular assessment proposed by Xia Xia Liang and Fang Xuanling's regular assessment will be carried out at the same time, which will effectively reduce corruption.
Chu Tian thought about it: "You are in charge of the history of supervision, and you are responsible for establishing a 30-person supervision agency, and from time to time to conduct surprise supervision of officials in various ministries. The supervision agency is divided into two parts, the north and the south. , 6 people are temporarily fixed in the south, and the north will be monitored.”
"Me?"
"The two assessment methods should be separated."
"Yes."
Xia Xia Liang thought of a lot of things in his hands, so he said goodbye and went to deal with it.
Chu Tian added: "The supervisory agency is only responsible to me."
He wants to keep the watchdog firmly in his hands.
This is why he asked Xia Xia Liang's authority to be separated from Fang Xuanling's authority.
Fang Xuanling conducts regular performance appraisals of Baiguan, which is the self-examination of the Ministry of Personnel.
The supervisory agency is in the hands of Chutian, and Chutian can investigate whoever he wants, even if he snares his subordinates for crimes. This is external monitoring.
At the same time, there is a self-inspection agency within the supervision agency.
Supervisory agencies have been established since ancient times to ensure the loyalty of officials and to prevent corruption and bribery.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chutian established the most basic monitoring agency in Langya Kingdom.
At present, the officials of Langya Kingdom have been baptized by the flames of war, and they do not dare to mess around for the time being.
Chu Tian ordered Xue Rengui's army to be recalled again, leaving Yin Li to recruit 2,000 troops there.
Xue Rengui also participated in the crusade against the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, so he could not stay in Xihai County.
Xihai County did not dare to rebel, otherwise it would be attacked at any time by Chutian with the forces of six counties.
Chutian always stationed its elite troops in Xiacheng, and the troops in small counties ranged from 2,000 to 5,000, lacking the strength to rebel.
Xia Xia Liang recruited 30 officials to set up a supervisory agency. Every month, one or two teams of supervisors would be sent to each county to conduct secret investigations, which made the officials of each county feel terrified.
The ultimate person in charge of the supervision agency is Chutian. As long as Chutian wants to convict, the supervision agency will always find a reason.
Li Kui, Commander of Diannong, came to report after the summer was cool: "The demobilized Taishan thieves have been allocated to the riverside plains in Kaiyang, Yangdu, and Juxian counties, and it is expected that they will all be resettled before the spring equinox. A total of 100,873 Taishan thieves were placed. In the other half of the year, a total of 21,312 pirates, the remnants of the Xuzhou Yellow Turban Army, and their families were placed in Jiu Town, Hedong."
Chu Tian also did not expect that the number of Taishan bandits plus ordinary bandits would be so large that these people would become an important labor force and source of soldiers for Langya Kingdom.
He estimated that the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans provided more labor than the Taishan thieves.
Li Kui continued to report: "Because the country of Langya is relatively quiet, the population of Beihai and other places flowing into Langya is as high as 20,000. There are even refugees from Yanzhou and Jizhou."
"Among the refugees who have never been bandits, they moved into Xiacheng, and arranged for them to reclaim the barren fields and settle the fields."
Chutian is eager for more people to enter his territory.
This time, his crusade against the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans was to rob people and cattle.
The Qingzhou Yellow Turbans looted all over the place, and Chutian went to rob them, justifiably plundered the Qingzhou population to Xuzhou.
Chutian re-examined the resources, and found Grade 4 iron ore resources in the Mengshan area of Yangdu County, and found Grade 4 copper ore resources in the Wulian Mountain area of Juxian County.
The fourth-level natural resources are already very objective. As for the high-level natural resources, only special places have them.
For example, the North Sea Fishing Farm is a 10-level marine fish resource, and the Potosi Silver Mine is a 10-level silver ore resource.
The Jiaodong Gold Mine in Qingzhou is also of high grade, and the Anshan Iron Mine is also famous.
Chutian has established five-level mining farms in two places. Each mining farm has about 2,000 to 3,000 miners to provide Chutian with copper and iron resources.
Needless to say the importance of copper, copper coins are the most basic circulation unit in "Lord", and they are also hard currency. Although Chutian and officials discussed more with silver taels, the commoners at the bottom used copper coins.
Chutian cannot issue banknotes, which are worthless in troubled times and will only lead to inflation.
Iron ore resources are involved in the production of weapons, farm implements, and armor.
In addition to the fourth-grade iron ore, fourth-grade copper mine, and third-grade gold mine, there are some scattered natural resources in Chutian's territory. As long as there are resources, Chutian will build mining farms to make every effort May increase the output of resources in hand.
Fang Xuanling walked in in a hurry: "My lord, it's not good, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army has already appeared at the junction of Langya Kingdom and Beihai Kingdom!"
"It seems that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army intends to actively defend and burn the flames of war to our country of Langya. Zhou Yafu, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan are ordered to guard the first line of defense, and do not give the Qingzhou Yellow Turban an opportunity. The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army wants to The border is putting pressure on them, let them move, and we will dispatch troops in March according to the original plan. Then Hua Mulan will lead a cavalry to the border to monitor the movements of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, so they cannot be too arrogant.”
Chutian did not panic because of the actions of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. Three generals held the first line of defense of the Langya Kingdom, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans could not break through.
The counties in the northern part of Langya State and Dongwu County were attacked by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army entered the Langya State.
Wu Sangui, who joined Dorgon, rode a war horse and led 3,000 Yellow Turban cavalry and 50,000 Yellow Turban infantry as the vanguard of the invasion of Langya.
His knowledge of the terrain and roads of Langya made him much used by Guan Hai and Dorgon.
The lords of Zhuxian and Dongwu County faced the mighty Yellow Turban army and were unable to resist, and were easily destroyed by Wu Sangui.
The magistrates of the various counties found out that all the Yellow Turbans were under the city, and their scalps felt numb.
The Yellow Turbans were so numerous that they were like locusts. Wherever they went, even the bark was eaten up, the springs were drained, and all the villages that blocked the Yellow Turbans were destroyed.
"Your Majesty, there are only 5,000 Han soldiers in our city, and at least 50,000 to 60,000 outside the city. How should we defend this?"
The military generals of the various counties saw the locust army below, and their palms were sweaty.
The Yellow Turbans were numerous, and their commanders didn't care about the lives of these cannon fodders. They used crowd tactics every time they attacked cities.
The rank of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army is not low, because the Qingzhou Inspector and the Minister of Beihai have always given heads to the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, resulting in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army's combat effectiveness far superior to that of other states' Yellow Turban Army.
The counties are still under the control of the Han court, and the magistrate of Zhucheng guards the counties.
"Immediately recruit Xiangyong to defend the city and ask for help from the Prime Minister of Langya! There are aliens in the city, they may be able to contact the Prime Minister of Langya!"
The order of Zhucheng hurriedly recruited the residents of the city to defend the city, and tens of thousands of villagers and free players had to come to the city wall to defend the city.
Once the city is captured by the Yellow Turbans, all their property and food will be looted. Therefore, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army must not be allowed to break through the city!
The Qingzhou Yellow Turbans have captured no less than fifteen counties in Qingzhou!
Chutian is the official appointed minister of Langya by the court, and he is also his nominal boss. It is reasonable and reasonable to ask Chutian for help when the counties are attacked.
"The Qingzhou Yellow Turbans have begun to attack the city!"
Some of the defenders screamed in surprise. They saw hundreds of ladders being carried out of the phalanx of fifty thousand Yellow Turban infantrymen, and the elite Yellow Turbans were standing in the rear to supervise the battle to maintain morale!
Because of the addition of Dorgon and Wu Sangui, the Yellow Turbans are undergoing transformation. They have special attack teams, supervisory teams, team leaders, and transport teams.
The only thing that doesn't change is that Dorgon and Wu Sangui still regard them as cannon fodder and use crowd tactics to attack the city.
"Prepare fire arrows and kerosene, and they must not be allowed to climb the city wall!"
The magistrates of the various counties were anxious and used the Fire Arrow Team.
Villages and towns are easy to be captured, but as long as the county towns are well-defended, they can hold back the Yellow Turbans for a while.
woo-
The desolate trumpet sound echoed on the battlefield, yellow flags fluttered, and more than 10,000 Yellow Turbans, as the first batch of siege troops, rushed to Zhucheng like a tide!
Wu Sangui reined in the reins of the war horse and squinted to observe this bridgehead in the north of Langya Kingdom.
After conquering all the cities, and further south, it is Ju County, where he was smashed into the sand.
Zhucheng is not within the sphere of influence of Chutian, because Zhucheng is too close to the sphere of influence of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. If they occupy Zhucheng, they will face the pressure brought by the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans~IndoMTL.com~ Tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans attack Zhucheng Attacking, the defenders of the city wall fired rockets, and the flaming arrows burned the ladder of the Yellow Turbans, and black smoke billowed.
The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army went into madness, and so did the defenders defending Zhucheng.
The Yellow Turbans will burn, kill and loot. For their own property and life, the defenders of Zhucheng must defend the city walls! The city wall is the only barrier against the sea of people!
The fire arrows of the defenders played an important role. Many of the ladders erected caught fire, and the Yellow Turbans' siege speed slowed down. However, the Yellow Turbans began to use a large number of manpower to dig tunnels, trying to destroy the foundation of the city wall.
"Is there a response from the Prime Minister of Langya? We can't keep it going like this!"
The magistrates of various counties are on the verge of collapse at any time in the face of a steady stream of strong attacks from the Yellow Turbans.
"Some foreigners have already contacted the Prime Minister of Langya, and the Prime Minister of Langya has sent a light cavalry to march 1,200 li in a hurry and arrive within eight days!"
"So soon?"
The county magistrates were overjoyed to hear the news. On the eighth day, the army marched for 1,200 miles, and the speed of such an advance was terrifying.
When the guards in the various counties learned that there were reinforcements, their morale was greatly boosted, and they strengthened their determination to defend.
Two black war eagles circled in the air. Hua Mulan led the cavalry day and night, and was ordered to come to delay Wu Sangui's entry into the Kou Langya Kingdom.
