Nanguo, located in the north of Mingzhou, is not an area within Mingzhou, but Nanzhou under the rule of the Great Qin Dynasty in the past.
It's just that various places began to become kings, and the southern kingdom also changed.
The territory of the Southern Kingdom is even wider.
The resources in its territory are also more abundant.
The king of the Southern Kingdom, named Wang Qin, was originally from the clan of Daqin, the clan that was in charge of Nanzhou in the past, and was officially the general of Zhennan. However, Wang Qin was not satisfied with this. After the turmoil in the world, Wang Qin rebelled directly, killed the former state shepherd of Nanzhou, and then proclaimed himself king, becoming the current Nanwang.
Wang Qin himself is extremely shrewd, not the master of mediocrity. He even governed the southern kingdom, reduced and exempted taxes, amnesty the world, pardoned countless criminals, and made countless people go home and reunite with their families.
Wang Qin has a high prestige in the Southern Kingdom.
The strength of the southern country is also extremely strong.
Wang Qin's temperament is also calm, he is not in a hurry to expand. The world has just started to be in turmoil, and what will happen in the future is unknown. Therefore, the strategy Wang Qin adopts now is to stabilize himself first and develop his own strength.
This is very good advice.
Just like this, the strength of the Southern Kingdom under Wang Qin's rule has increased rapidly. You must know that in the earliest days, the overall strength of the Southern Kingdom was not even comparable to that of the Ming Kingdom, but now, the strength of the Southern Kingdom has surpassed that of the Ming Kingdom.
On this day, Wang Qin was discussing matters with the prime minister.
The prime minister of the Southern Kingdom was named Wu Youdao.
This person used to be Wang Qin's staff. It can be said that Wang Qin's governance strategies are almost all unreasonable proposals. Wu Youdao is strategic and capable, while Wang Qin is unsuspecting in employing people, and the monarch and his ministers will win each other.
Wu Youdao said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the main thing I'm busy with these days is to check the population. At present, the population of my southern country has been checked. The population is about 130,000. This number is still not enough. , The local area is vast and sparsely populated, and a lot of land is controlled, but the population still cannot be increased on a large scale. Therefore, at present, the minister believes that reforms should be carried out, and changes should be made in order to further enhance our strength."
Wang Tan said: "The prime minister thinks, what should we do?"
Wu Youdao said: "I believe that there are five aspects to be carried out on this matter."
"Five aspects?"
After Wang Tan heard it, he was also a little surprised.
Because this matter is obviously not simple.
Of course, Wang Qin also agrees 100% with regard to increasing the population. If you want to further enhance the strength of the southern country, and even want to make the southern country truly dominate one side in the future and gain a foothold in troubled times, this is the long-term way.
It will not work without developing the population.
It is a rootless apple.
Wang Qin suppressed the surprise in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, tell me, what are the five aspects? The king is also a little shocked when you mention five aspects."
Wu Youdao said: "First, Your Majesty releases the maids, and let the extra maids in the palace leave the palace. After all, there are many maids in the palace at the moment, so there is absolutely no need to keep so many of them. As a role model for a country, the Majesty releases them on his own initiative. The court ladies and the people of the world will all be grateful to the King for his kindness, and the hearts of the people will be even more stable."
After Wang Tan heard it, he thought about it and said, "Yes!"
He has always been indifferent to money and sex, what's more, the release of a batch of maids in the palace to go home does not have much impact on his palace.
Wu Youdao said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Wang Tan stroked the beard under his chin and said, "What is wise or not? This is what we should do. After the establishment of our Southern Kingdom, we now have to think about the people. With the people, our Southern Kingdom will naturally stand tall If it is the other way around, thinking that with the Southern Kingdom, there will be people, it is a big mistake."
Wu Youdao said: "Your Majesty's strategy can be said to be rare in the world, and it is even more powerful. If Your Majesty is like this, in the future of our Southern Kingdom, we will surely be able to gain a foothold in the world, and even sweep the universe."
"Hahaha¡¡"
After Wang Tan heard it, he couldn't help laughing.
Seemed quite proud.
You must know that Wu Youdao has always been a calm person, and he rarely praises him like this. What Wu Youdao said now also made Wang Tan applaud in his heart, thinking that it was an excellent thing.
After Wang Tan laughed, he changed the subject and said, "Prime Minister, let's talk about the second point."
Wu Youdao became serious, and said: "Secondly, the imperial court issued an order that if a woman does not marry at eighteen, the imperial court will directly intervene and select a candidate for marriage. Originally, the minister's plan was to think that he could be younger again.?So, I tend to join forces with Du Qi. "
"Attack the Fire Nation at the same time."
"Further, strive to carve up the power of the Fire Nation and further enhance our strength. After all, for us, the current steady development is the most suitable."
Wu Youdao said: "Your Majesty, this is the subject's consideration. However, how to choose and how to make a decision still needs to be decided by His Highness, after all, this is what His Highness is good at."
Wang Qin nodded when he heard it.
He also weighed in his heart.
Which point to choose?
It is obviously not the most appropriate strategy to wait and see what happens, because you will get nothing. Once Du Qi destroys the Fire Nation, Du Qi's strength will increase too much, so Wang Qin needs to intervene.
For Wang Qin's intervention, it is not appropriate to be an enemy of Du Qi for the time being, it is best to get a share of the pie.
Wang Tan thought for a while and said, "Prime Minister, I will adopt your strategy. However, since we adopt such a strategy, how should we arrange it?"
Wu Youdao said: "I am willing to go to Hongshan County in the Xia Kingdom to visit Du Qi. The first is to bring Lan Jiuzhen there to show sincerity; the second is to unite the two parties; the third is to Take this opportunity to test Du Qi, and then observe Du Qi's overall strength. After all, if you haven't observed it yourself, you don't know the situation."
Wang Tan thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, we must consider the fate of offending the Fire Nation. Therefore, this matter must be carried out in secret for the time being, and cannot be arranged immediately. At least, we must be able to unite with Du Qi before we can Only by handing over the person can the true news of Lan Jiu be revealed."
Wu Youdao nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I understand."
Wang Qin said: "Since the prime minister has already made an idea, let's arrange it earlier. My lord, I am waiting for your good news."
"The minister resigns!"
Wu Youdao immediately got up and left.
After all, he is the prime minister and is responsible for many things. Now that he wants to leave, he has to go to handover and arrange all the government affairs in his hands before he can go to Xia Guo.
As for Lan Jiuzhen, it can only be imprisoned. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
