Chapter 181 Ports and Supervision Agencies

"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 commercial products. Ocean-going merchant ships, 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, firstly to mine sea salt, and secondly to develop foreign trade as soon as possible.

Seaborne trade was very prosperous during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and even became an important source of finance for the Southern Song court.

Shipping seems to be of little use now, but in the later stage, whether it is used to transport food and troops, or to attack the Kingdom of Korea and the Kingdom of Dongying, a strong navy is needed.

Chutian can train a high-level horse infantry army in one year, but if he is given a year, he may not be able to form a combat-capable navy.

If the crusade against the Koryo Kingdom 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 of salt drying fields, shipyards, docks, and navy camps from the 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 do you need for a salt farm, a shipyard, a wharf, and a naval battalion?"

"The salt drying field uses the most advanced blueprints that can be purchased. As for the shipyard, wharf, and naval battalion, level four is enough."

For the navy, Chutian has limited knowledge.

The fourth-level shipyard can produce plank boats (first-class civilian ships), sentinel ships (second-class warships), walking Ke (third-class warships), squatters (fourth-class warships), 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 fourth-level navy battalion can recruit most of the common naval units. Unless it is a special navy unit, a higher navy battalion is required.

Advanced naval battalions can not only recruit high-ranking troops, 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 has made plans to turn Xihai County into a port city.

As for Xu Sheng, Chu Tian remained in Liangshan Town to develop the Yihe Naval Division. The goal of the Yihe navy is to go south to besiege Xiapi City and control the Yihe River Basin.

Although Yihe boats 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."

Taking into account 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 from Yangzhou, Goryeo, and Dongying.

Xia Xia Liang reminded: "Lord Lord,

You should set up special salt and iron officials to control salt and iron in each county. "

Chutian has indeed neglected, since he decided to monopolize salt and iron, then 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 the salt and iron officials from using their power for personal gain. ."

Chutian had to establish a monitoring mechanism.

Governing seven counties with a population of two million, Chutian's official ranks are over a thousand people. If supervision is not carried out, 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. Unexpectedly conduct surprise inspections on officials."

Her words benefited Chu Tian a lot.

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, responsible for the establishment of a 30-person supervisory agency, and irregularly conduct surprise surveillance on officials of various ministries. The supervision agency is divided into two divisions, the north and the south. Quota of 6 people to monitor the north."

"I?"

"The two assessment methods should be separated."

"Yes."

Xia Xia Liang thought of a lot of things in his hands, so he said goodbye 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.

That's 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 Chutian's hands, 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 existed 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 supervision institution 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.

Chutian ordered Xue Rengui's army to be recalled, leaving Yinli to recruit 2,000 troops there.

Xue Rengui also participated in the crusade against the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, 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 dispatched to various counties 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, the captain 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 be resettled before the spring equinox. A total of There were 100,873 Taishan thieves. In the other half of the year, there were 21,312 thieves, the remnants of the Xuzhou Yellow Turbans and their families, who were mainly placed in Jiuzhen in Hedong.”

Chutian also did not expect that the number of Taishan thieves plus ordinary thieves 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 calm, there are as many as 20,000 households in the country of Beihai and other places flowing into the country of Langya. There are even refugees from Yanzhou and Jizhou."

"Among them, the refugees who have not been bandits moved into Xiacheng, and arranged for them to reclaim the barren fields and settle the fields."

Chutian is eager for more population 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, while Chutian went to rob them, and justifiably plundered the population of Qingzhou 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 famous one is the Anshan iron mine.

Chutian has established five-level mining farms in two places, and each mining farm has about 2,000 to 3,000 miners to provide Chutian with two kinds of resources: copper and iron.

Needless to say the importance of copper, copper coins are the most basic unit of circulation 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 involve 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 increase the number of available resources as much as possible. resource output.

Fang Xuanling stepped 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 the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans will not take the opportunity. The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army wants to put pressure on the border. Let them move, we will dispatch troops in March according to the original plan. Let Hua Mulan lead a cavalry to the border to monitor the movements of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, so they cannot be too arrogant."

Chutian was not flustered by 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 country made him reused by Guan Hai and Dorgon.

Facing the mighty Yellow Turbans, the lords of various counties and Dongwu County were unable to resist and were easily destroyed by Wu Sangui.

The magistrates of the various counties discovered that all the Yellow Turbans were under the city, and their scalps tingled.

The Yellow Turbans were so numerous that they were like locusts. Wherever they went, even the bark of the trees was eaten up, the spring water was 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 there are at least 50,000 or 60,000 outside the city. How should we defend this?"

The military generals in the counties saw the locust army below, and their palms were sweaty.

The Yellow Turbans were numerous, and their generals didn't care about the lives of these cannon fodders. They used crowd tactics every time they attacked the city.

The rank of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army is not low, because the Qingzhou Inspector and the Prime 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 the Yellow Turban Army in other states.

The counties are still under the control of the Han court, and the magistrate of Zhucheng is the one who guards the counties.

"Immediately recruit Xiangyong to defend the city and ask the Prime Minister of Langya for help! 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 Turban Army has captured no less than fifteen counties in Qingzhou!

Chu Tian was the official minister of Langya and his nominal boss. It was reasonable and reasonable to ask Chu Tian for help when the counties were attacked.

"The Qingzhou Yellow Turbans have begun to attack the city!"

Some of the defenders screamed and saw that in the phalanx of 50,000 yellow turban infantry, hundreds of ladders were carried out, and the elite yellow turban was 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 constant 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 counties were anxious and used the Huoya 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, and the yellow flags fluttered. As the first batch of siege troops, more than 10,000 Yellow Turbans rushed to the cities 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 Zhucheng, and further south, it was Juxian, which made him fall 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.

Tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans attacked Zhucheng, the defenders of the city wall fired rockets, and the flaming arrows burned down the ladders of the Yellow Turbans, and black smoke billowed.

The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army fell into madness, and the defenders defending Zhucheng also fell into madness.

The Yellow Turbans would 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 lot of manpower to dig tunnels and wanted 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 were on the verge of collapse at any time in the face of the continuous storming of 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 they will arrive within eight days!"

"So fast?"

The county magistrates were overjoyed when they heard 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 counties learned that there were reinforcements, their morale was boosted, and they strengthened their determination to defend.

Two black war eagles hovered in the air, Hua Mulan led the cavalry day and night, and was ordered to come to delay Wu Sangui's entry into Kou Langya.
