Chapter 270 Focus
Although the imperial court has not yet approved the memorial regarding the abolition of the Anxi and East Protectorate's Palaces and the restoration of the Beiting Protectorate's Palace, outside the customs, policies are already being implemented in accordance with this.
The Great Qin Court in Chang'an is now gradually becoming a flag. When needed, it is used and used. When not needed, it is discarded like worn out shoes.
So people outside the customs did not take this memorial seriously.
Approval or not has little impact, and there will be no less things to do.
It's just that after getting the approval from the court, it seems more straightforward.
In any case, no one has jumped out yet and said that he wants to start over again, overthrow the Qin Dynasty, and be the master of his own country.
He Zudao went around wreaking havoc silently and never said anything publicly, so no one could figure out the true intentions of this lunatic.
Linghuye entered the pass under the pretext of suppressing the rebellion of King Qin, but he was holding a real imperial edict covered with the imperial seal. Anyway, until now, the court has not denied this.
Of course, I heard that a steward in Ouchi has disappeared,
Xueshi Zhou, who was responsible for making imperial edicts, was dismissed from office and returned home.
No one knows whether these things have anything to do with Linghuye entering the customs.
As for many other forces, they either claim to protect their hometowns and prevent He Zudao from poisoning their hometowns, or they claim to clean up the group and eliminate traitors.
Anyway, it sounds like all of them are loyal to the emperor and love the people, and are devoting themselves to the Qin Dynasty and dying for themselves.
Who cares what you think privately?
Outside the pass, there was still a debate over where the headquarters of the Beiting Protectorate should be located.
A considerable number of people believe that Zhenwu City should be restarted.
After all, Zhenwu City has been the ruling center outside the Pass for hundreds of years.
Since the establishment of the Beiting Protectorate at the beginning of the founding of the Qin Dynasty, the government has been placed here.
After hundreds of years of management, Zhenwu City is indeed It is also the most suitable.
But Li Dachui disagreed.
In his opinion, the area around Zhenwu City is already well-established. Da Qin has already formed a huge centripetal force for the surrounding people. It only needs a little management to become a solid area.
He wants to place the seat of the Beiting Protectorate in Aquarius City.
Zhenwu City is located to the east, so over the years, the development of the east side of the pass has been far better than that of the west.
The so-called black areas outside the pass are basically concentrated in the west.
Placing the new political center in Aquarius City can better manage and rule the western region, thus truly managing the outside world as a whole.
You must know that in the past, the western region showed no respect or obedience to the Beiting Protectorate.
Because the Beiting Protectorate has never taken care of them, but regards them as savages. Except for thinking of them when they need military exploits, in normal times, it does not matter whether these people are alive or dead.
With Aquarius City as the political center, Tai'an City and Zhenwu City as the two economic centers, Yuan'an City, Qingtongxia, and Yezhuling as the military centers, with Qingshui River and Juma River running through it It was Li Dachui's overall idea to build a complete area under the jurisdiction of the Beiting Protectorate with Xuanwu Prefecture as the transit point of the Maritime Silk Road and the rivers outside the pass as the main artery.
The area outside the customs covers thousands of miles. The latest population census has nearly three million people. Li Dachui even thinks that this number should be conservative. I wonder if there are still people hiding in those nooks and crannies!
Of course, population is population and manpower is manpower.
If we want to bring so many people together to achieve overall effectiveness, there is a long way to go.
In the past, Linghuye’s practice of pulling in batches and beating them up broke many people’s hearts.
It is easy to destroy but difficult to build.
It is even more difficult to bring back the alienated heart.
The road can only be walked step by step.
This is also the reason why Li Dachui spent all his efforts in the early stage to undermine the stability of Beiyuan and plunge Beiyuan into a state of war.
Otherwise if Linghuye escapes, a unified Beiyuan will inevitably launch an attack outside the pass.
What greater contribution could there be than a newly-appointed emperor seizing the springboard outside the Pass to attack the Qin Dynasty that they had dreamed of for decades? What could be more effective in boosting domestic morale and thus winning domestic support in one fell swoop?
This will not change just because Dayuan is the one who sits on the throne of emperor.
Regardless of whether it is Tiele, Akedun or even Yu Zhebie,
as long as he sits on the throne of the emperor, he will do this.
But now, they are fighting to the death, and the situation has been completely reversed.
Beiting Protectorate will usher in the golden period of their development.
If millions of people can really be twisted into a rope, what is a chaotic Beiyuan?
The total number of people in Beiyuan City must be just over five million at most!
If we can really destroy Bei Yuan and then turn around and march into the pass, we will have no worries at all.
Li Dachui and Xiao Changchai rode into Aquarius City together. In front of the Duhu Mansion, Mao Daxian, Zhang Ruo and the main figures from various states, prefectures and counties were already standing in front of the door to greet them. .
They all attach great importance to a long-term planning and decision-making meeting for the next five or even ten years, and have been preparing for it for a long time, but they don’t know why today Early in the morning, the two guardians changed their itinerary temporarily and went to the countryside for inspection. Of course, the leaders are right.
It is naturally extremely important to care about the production and life of ordinary people in such heavy snow.
Love the people as your own children!
In fact, it’s not just them. Now, as long as it is from one force inside and outside the customs, who doesn’t care about this meeting of the Protectorate?
Aquarius City can now be said to be full of spies.
In the past, the spies were concentrated in Tai'an City, but as the political center outside the pass moved westward to Aquarius City, the spies also began to shift their positions.
For example, a calligraphy and painting shop.
Speaking of it, this calligraphy and painting shop is just a branch, but Zhu Chi has always been stationed here.
The Zhu Chi of today is not the Zhu Chi of two years ago.
At that time, he was just a guy exiled thousands of miles away in Nanchu, and he was dispensable.
But now, with the opening of the Maritime Silk Road, a large number of goods from Nanchu passed through the sea route and went directly to Xuanwu. While meeting the needs outside the customs, they also used Xuanwu as a starting point to go west by sea and by land. Enter the Yuan Kingdom.
Although it was just a trip, the huge profits have set off a craze for sailing in Nanchu. As a result, Nanchu's shipbuilding industry has reached a peak. Orders from large shipyards have been scheduled for five years. In the past, some The half-dead small factory also came back to life.
Some merchants in Nanchu who couldn't order ships went directly to Cai Ming in Xuanwu Prefecture. Within three months, Cai Ming's shipyard had received orders for more than ten sea-going ships.
After Cai Ming got the drawings of a large treasure ship from Li Dachui, he experimentally built one, and it was bought on the spot by Zhu Chi, who was near the water first come first served, on behalf of the Zhu family.
This large ship with more than 3,000 pieces of materials cost more than 200,000 yuan. Now he is on the way to Nanchu. Once he arrives in Dachu, he will definitely cause a sensation in all parties and the court. of special attention.
Because Nanchu boasts that its shipbuilding industry is unique in the world, but they cannot build such a large ship with more than 3,000 materials.
Zhu Chi invested all the profits from the goods organized by the Zhu family at one time to buy this ship. Naturally, it was another investment in the Queen Mother of Da Chu. After this ship arrived in Da Chu, it would inevitably It will leave port again, and it will definitely become the research object of Dachu Shipyard.
Water warfare is actually much simpler in some aspects than land warfare.
Basically, it is a situation where the big fish eats the small fish and the small fish eats the shrimp.
Like Da Chu's current main warship, if it encounters such a large warship with more than 3,000 materials at sea, it will basically be a dead end.
Although Da Qin is in chaos now, the Beiting Protectorate is still a subordinate of Da Qin.
What it possesses is what Great Qin embraces.
Da Chu and Da Qin have always been hostile.
But we cannot ignore this just because we have a good relationship with Li Dachui and the others.
Maybe at some point, when the faces on both sides are exposed and the faces of the dogs are exposed, they will start fucking the guy directly.
Such things are really numerous in the interactions between countries.
As long as Da Chu thoroughly studies this ship, with Da Chu's background in the shipbuilding industry, it will not be a problem to crush his opponents at sea.
Zhu Chi is now very proud.
Li Dachui led the Maritime Silk Road, and he was responsible for contacting Nanchu. As he successfully established contact with the Anxi Protectorate, he was already classified as a separate person in the country. The Zhu family also found a way out of desperation. The old man in the family was recruited into the court again. Although he was just a member of the Ministry of Rites and offered wine without any real power, he could often see the Queen Mother. Compared with the past, this was a huge difference. .
Being able to see the number one leader often and not being able to see the number one leader often are two different things.
The road outside the Zhu family's gate, which was overgrown with weeds, has now been trampled bare again.
This is especially true after the first voyage, when the participating merchants make a lot of money.
You must know that if you don’t get through Zhu Chi’s joint, even if your goods arrive at Xuanwu, they may not be able to be unloaded at the shore!
Now that the Anton Protectorate has disappeared, the Anxi Protectorate is about to be upgraded to the Beiting Protectorate, Li Dachui is about to take power, and Zhu Chi is even more fiery.
But Zhu Chi also has his own troubles.
Some important figures in the country have secretly arrived outside the customs. It is said that they want to investigate some connections between important figures in the Anxi Protectorate and the Demonic Cult.
Zhu Chi actually didn't care whether he was a demon sect or not.
The magic city can be said to be everywhere in Nanchu. Although it has been suppressed crazily, it is still a wildfire that cannot be burned out, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates.
What if there are a few demon sect brats outside the customs?
What happened to Guan Nanchu?
Is it possible that these guys can still hold real power outside the customs and one day pose a threat to Da Chu?
Impossible.
Even if this person is the steward of the city lord's mansion.
