I’m The King Chapter 509: : Shannan County
Shannan County is a new administrative county established by the Qin State after defeating the Huns. His choice of location is extremely ingenious. It not only guards the Huolan Mountain Pass, but also maintains the ability to attack the Huns on the prairie. It is a defensible posture, and at the same time, it firmly blocks the Dai County of Zhao State.
The Huns have been defeated, and the greater purpose of Shannan County is actually to open up another offensive line to conquer Zhao. After several years of operation, a medium-sized city has stood up in this desolate land at the beginning, with high walls and flying military flags, proclaiming the sovereignty of the Qin people over this place.
Every moment, new immigrants will arrive in this place. Outside the city, patches of new residential areas are forming. Within Qin, the people need to pay extremely heavy taxes. The system flourished as soon as possible, and the Qin State Chaotang specially formulated a new policy for Shannan County, obtaining land for free, and at the same time, exempting it from taxes for three years.
There is no need for any other stimulus, this one alone has caused a lot of Qin people to leave their homes, come to this completely strange land, and start their hard work.
Shannan County's administrative scale is a county, but its current scale is at best the size of a county, but because of the special importance of this place, it is specially assigned as a county.
The yield of the land that has just been reclaimed is not high, and it cannot meet the consumption of the people and the army here. It is still necessary to transfer a large amount of food from the interior to make up for the shortage here.
Because the population here is underpopulated and extremely poor, there are very few caravans here to trade, because the income earned from a trip is often not worth the travel expenses and consumption, which also makes the daily necessities here extremely scarce .
In short, it is poor here.
He Yangguang, the governor of Shannan County, is a general. Because of the special features of Shannan County, the highest officer here can only be the general who leads the troops. He Yangguang is a pure warrior. Leading troops to fight is his specialty. How to manage people's livelihood is a complete layman. Therefore, the Sima assigned to him is an official who is good at managing people's livelihood. But this official is Gao Yuan's acquaintance, Lu Chao from Yan, Lu Hong's only son.
After the Qin people completed the centralization of power in the hands of King Wulie of Qin and established real counties and counties, although the hereditary nobles still occupied most of the high positions, some useful talents also began to defect or were taken by the Qin people. Compared with these people, Lu Chao, who is from Yan, has an incomparable advantage. His teacher is Li Ru, a person who is generally respected among Qin people.
Lu Chao, who was just 24 years old this year, took up the post of Sima of Shannan County.
At the beginning, when He Yangguang saw this young doll, he was very skeptical. If Lu Chao hadn't had such an aura as Li Ru's disciple, he would have almost asked his boss for a replacement, but the two cooperated After a while, He Yangguang had to thank his boss for finding him a good partner.
Lu Chao is a good hand in managing people's livelihood. He grew up in the county government since he was a child. scale, and the population is not large, and Li Ru's academics are not only theoretical, but also a lot of practice. Lu Chao followed Li Ru for two years and traveled all over the world. He not only inherited Li Ru's theory, but also Perfectly integrate the knowledge he learned in the county government since he was a child into Li Ru's theory.
Handling the affairs of Shannan County is just a piece of cake for him.
After working with He Yangguang for half a year, He Yangguang handed over all the logistics and distribution rights of his army to Lu Chao, and he completely got out of these affairs and concentrated on training his army. He knew very well that Once the war breaks out, his army is definitely the vanguard.
And two months ago, a new army of 5,000 people was transferred to join him. Seeing the arrival of this army, He Yangguang understood that there might be a war when spring begins, and This battle, without a doubt, will be aimed at Zhao Guodai County.
5,000 new recruits were transferred, He Yangguang didn't pay much attention to it, Qin is now at war with South Korea, the general Li Xin has taken away the main force, the defense of Hangu Pass has never been relaxed, because what he is facing directly is what Qin attaches the most importance to The opponents of Zhao State, Zhao Mu, and General Wang Xiao were stationed here. These two places almost concentrated the most powerful army in Qin State, Shannan County. From the beginning, thousands of cavalry and nearly ten thousand infantry were stationed. Commander Ying, after the Huns on the grassland were completely defeated, began to gradually deploy troops to supplement these two places. In the end, He Yangguang's men had only a thousand infantry and a thousand cavalry left. But these two thousand troops are veterans who have been fighting for a long time. Now there are five thousand recruits, and these veterans are scattered among the recruits to serve as grassroots officers. He Yangguang is sure to turn these recruits into an elite team this winter.
After two months of training, the recruits have begun to look a little rough from the initial jerky. He Yangguang even began to consider whether to take them to the grassland to find one or two unlucky Hun tribes to let them Practice your hands.
During this process, he was even more satisfied with Lu Chao, because Lu Chao organized the logistics of an army of up to 7,000 people in an orderly manner, which completely freed him from worries.
What made He Yangguang even more amazed was that Lu Chao had always been polite and courteous to him, a guy who hadn't read much, without any contempt.
In this regard, he can only lament that there are no worthy scholars under the prestigious name. The disciples taught by Master Li Ru are indeed outstanding among the people, and the future of this person is limitless.
It is precisely because Yiyiwu cooperates so tacitly, even though He Yangguang is higher than Lu Chao, he respects Lu Chao very much. He knows very well that without Lu Chao's efforts, he might have taken Shannan County made a mess. In addition to the troops stationed in Shannan County, the population is also increasing day by day, and it is becoming more prosperous day by day.
This makes He Yangguang very excited, because this will become the capital for his future advancement.
The weather is very cold, and the annoying snow keeps falling. He Yangguang walked into the Sheriff's Mansion in Shannan County. He had just completed a day of training with soldiers.
Three nines in summer and three volts in winter, He Yangguang is a general who has fought in wars. He has not learned much about the art of war, but he knows very well that if he can't bear this kind of suffering, he can't be regarded as an elite team at all.
As soon as he stepped into the Sheriff's Mansion, he saw Lu Chao. Not long ago, there was news from Yan State and Liaoxi that Lu Chao's father, Lu Hong, had died in battle. What made Lu Chao sad and indignant was that his father did not die in the battle with the Donghu people, but in the internal struggle in Liaoxi. He Yangguang, who was also a military general, was very sad when he died at the hands of Zhang Junbao. This is probably the greatest sorrow of a military general.
Lu Hong was wearing an official uniform, but instead of the usual jade belt around his waist, he replaced it with a hemp rope. He Yangguang knew that Lu Chao was mourning for his father. Shannan County is so busy now, He Yangguang was still worried If Lu Hong wanted to leave here and go back to the country of Yan to handle the funeral, then Shannan County would be in a mess. Even if the superior immediately sent a new person to take over, it would be impossible to get started in a short time. This would definitely affect the battle against Zhao next year.
Lu Chao's performance made him very admired. This young official did not neglect his duties because of this, but worked harder. He Yangguang is very clear about Lu Chao's thoughts. After the war against Zhao next year, if Qin State can use this to defeat Zhao State, then Yan State, which has lost the barrier of Zhao State, will be directly exposed in front of the Qin army. At that time, Lu Chao's hatred will be easily rewarded.
But then the news from the Black Ice Terrace surprised both He Yangguang and Lu Chao. Lu Chao's enemy died, and Zhang Junbao fell into the hands of Gao Yuan. Gao Yuan beheaded for public display, and Liaoxi City fell into Gao Yuan's hands.
Gao Yuan, He Yangguang is not very clear, he just vaguely heard about this character, for ordinary people in Qin, Yan is too far away, Gao Yuan's impressive achievements against Donghu, They didn't know very well, but the legendary love between Gao Yuan and Ye Jing'er was widely sung, but He Yangguang was not interested in these romances.
Until drastic changes occurred within Yan State, Gao Yuan took control of Liaoxi in one fell swoop, and defeated tens of thousands of Yan troops under Jishi City, forcing Tan Feng and Zhou Yu, the new rulers of Yan State, to sign an alliance under the city. After He Yangguang was informed of the situation , began to pay attention to this person.
The superior asked He Yangguang to send people to find out about Jishi City. In the depths of the grassland, a city stood up. This is not what the people of Qin want to see. Because of this matter, He Yangguang found Lu Chao, because he knew that Lu Chao was also from Liaoxi, from Fufeng.
When he heard about the relationship between Lu Chao and Gao Yuan, he really opened his mouth wide in astonishment. In fact, the relationship between Lu Chao and Gao Yuan is not particularly close, because at that time Gao Yuan~IndoMTL.com~ was indeed a prostitute, but Lu Chao was an outstanding young man. Not used to Gaoyuan, if it weren't for the special relationship between the two families, Lu Chao wouldn't even talk to this guy.
But four years later, when he left home, he was still a guy who was arranged by his father to dawdle among the county soldiers, and he actually did a lot of big things that shocked the world. This really made Lu Chao a little jealous. In comparison, the things he was proud of before were nothing.
But Gao Yuan was able to personally behead the enemy who killed his father for him, and finally his father did not love him in vain.
He told He Yangguang everything he knew, but He Yangguang couldn't connect the Gao Yuan in his mouth with the current Gao Yuan.
Four years are enough to change a person a lot. He Yangguang sent some people to sneak into the grassland, but I'm afraid they won't come back in a short time.
"He Junshou!" Lu Chao bowed his hands to him.
