Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 125 If the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached

"Li Chunfeng!"

"exist!"

As soon as Li Chunfeng came out, he attracted everyone's attention.

A monk in the entraining period.

Although all of you here are not ordinary people, except for Uncle Zhong, Zhou Qing and others who have been in the city of gods, this is probably the first time in your life to see a great monk in the Qi-entraining stage.

Full of awe.

"Excuse me sir, how about building a ceremony?" Qian Yuan was also very polite.

"Chunfeng takes orders."

Li Chunfeng is not a pure Taoist priest. He has been an official for decades, and Li Cao is in charge of sacrifices, education and other fields, which are exactly what he is good at, and it is not difficult for him to be strong.

In particular, Li Chunfeng is proficient in arithmetic and is really the best candidate to promote mathematics. Qianyuan is too busy to do this at all.

Handing it over to Li Chunfeng is perfect.

Of course, in Qianyuan's plan, Li Chunfeng was only in charge of Li Cao part-time. His real role was still on the battlefield, and he was the first guardian of the fiefdom in the true sense.

With Li Chunfeng around, Qianyuan can sleep at night with a lot of peace of mind. Based on the perception of the monks in the entraining period, any thief who dares to sneak into the feudal palace will have nowhere to hide and will seek his own death.

It is more reassuring than the guard camp.

With the delineation of the candidates for the establishment of Liu Cao, the discussion on the restructuring of the feudal prince's mansion has come to an end. Before the imperial court's decree is officially issued, this matter can only be prepared in secret.

According to the system, in addition to Langzhong, Yuanwailang and the principal, each cao will also set up each room in accordance with the six-ministerial structure of the imperial court. The entire structure is more complex than the government office, and the personnel involved cannot be sorted out at once.

Fortunately, there are rules to follow for everything, and the five organizers are all outstanding, so there is no need for Qian Yuan to worry about it.

As for the transformation at the county level, it can only be advanced after the feudal prince's mansion is built. The meal needs to be eaten one bite at a time, and Qianyuan is not in a hurry.

In addition to discussing the structure of the feudal palace, this discussion also has an important agenda, which is to summarize the just-concluded war and discuss the next military deployment.

It is related to military affairs, so it is naturally reported by Guo Jia.

"It was confirmed yesterday that the Qingqiu North Route Army made major adjustments after the war. The Fox Demon Army's defense area was reduced by more than half. It was responsible for guarding the entire Zulong Mountains and was instead responsible for only Hulao Pass and Manniu Pass. This means Now, the fiefdom needs to face the threat of the entire fox demon army on a regular basis, and the defensive pressure is two or three times higher than before."

As soon as the show started, Guo Jia threw out such a breaking news.

Although in the war that just ended, the Qingqiu Kingdom dispatched the fox demon army and half of the leopard demon army to deal with the Qingqiu Mansion, but that was a temporary deployment during the war, and it was different from the normal garrison.

To put it bluntly, with the current situation of the fox demon army, troops may be sent to attack Yize Pass or Zhennan Pass at any time, but if there is a slight slack, the enemy may take advantage of it.

The just-occupied Red Viper Pass is a perfect example.

It is reported that the Leopard Demon Army has not evacuated the Red Viper Pass so far, and it depends on the posture of not leaving, which makes the Second Division a headache. If you attack by force, you are worried that the sacrifice will be too great;

With the adjustment of Qingqiu North Road Army's defense area, the Leopard Demon Army is responsible for guarding the three northern passes, and it is even more impossible to evacuate the Red Viper Pass easily. They don't take the Second Division seriously at all.

This is also a threat to Qingqiu Mansion.

"Although the war is over, the state of war emergency has not been lifted, and will remain so. Needless to say, although our army has won two battles in a row, in terms of strength alone, the Fox Demon Army is still stronger than the guard division. Therefore, I propose that while replenishing troops, we should expand the garrison division, at least to form a fourth brigade, and expand the strength to 1 people." Guo Jia took advantage of the situation to launch an army expansion plan.

"I disagree!"

As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, Uncle Zhong stood up and objected.

"The size of the fiefdom's army has exceeded the limit of the fiefdom's tolerance. Military expenditures have squeezed out most of the fiscal revenue. Many things that should have been done, and projects that should have been started, had to make way for the army and temporarily stopped. Now that the battle is over, The garrison division has also proved its combat effectiveness. Even if it can't win all the battles, it's no problem to hold the border. I don't understand why it needs to expand the army? If the army expands, the Yamen should go bankrupt.

"If the skin doesn't exist, the hair will not be attached." Uncle Zhong said earnestly.

"To clarify, after the war, the garrison division revoked the establishment of the two independent battalions, and took away the personal guard battalion and the city defense battalion. The number of troops was reduced by [-]. Therefore, the establishment of the fourth brigade was only based on the pre-war basis. The establishment of a battalion has been increased." Guo Jia explained.

Uncle Zhong sneered: "Feng Xiao was joking, aren't the personal guard battalion and the city defense battalion not counted as feudal troops?"

Seeing that Uncle Zhong was not easy to fool, Guo Jia turned around and said, "My lord said, 'If there is no skin, the hair will not be attached', I also agree with it. But have you ever thought about it, if you don't frighten the monsters, you can beat them to death." They dare not invade the fief, completely solve the border troubles, isolate the war, and create a stable environment for the fief. What development are they talking about?
"Every time the monster clan invades, the people of Nanguan County, Yingshui County, and Yize County panic, and many of them leave early. In such a situation, they can't even achieve stability, so where does the financial revenue come from?

"So, my opinion is, I'd rather suffer a bit more now, and endure another year. It would be best to declare war on the Yaozu in the spring of next year, seize the initiative in the war, defeat the fox demon army in one fell swoop, and solve the border crisis once and for all."

What Guo Jia said was impassioned, which made people's blood boil. Those civil servants who were firmly on the side of loyal uncles, such as Cao Rui, did not feel wavered.

Uncle Zhong was unmoved, not to mention whether he could win next year, even if he won, the army has already expanded, and it has become an established fact, can it still be cut off?

No matter how you look at it, it's all a conspiracy.

But Guo Jia has already talked about this point, and Uncle Zhong is not good at refuting.

Qian Yuan also had a headache, and he also knew that it would be difficult for a government to support so many troops in one mansion, but to defeat the fox demon army, it is imperative to expand the army.

Isn't the fief able to achieve today's achievements because of two great victories?
Fish and bear's paw, after all, can not have both.

Seeing that the debate between the two sides came to an end, Qian Yuan said: "About this issue, I think we should look at it in two steps. First, should we expand the army? I think so. The geographical location of Qingqiu Mansion determines that if there is no strong army , any development is a tree without roots. Whether it is population, agriculture, industry or commerce, it is impossible to develop in a war-torn land, which is the major premise of everything." Qian Yuan is qualitative.

Uncle Zhong sighed and said nothing after all.

Qian Yuan continued: "The second question is how to expand the army. It is impossible to say that an army can be transformed overnight, and it needs at least half a year of training, so the sooner it is prepared, the better. What I am worried about now is that the soldiers Where did it come from? The last time the garrison division was formed, the fief soldiers were basically exhausted."

Warriors are not like rice, which can grow once a year.Qingqiu Mansion is already sparsely populated. If conscription is forced, the conscription standards will only be lowered, which is not allowed by Qianyuan.

Military expenditures are inherently large, so naturally the higher the quality of soldiers, the better.

With the right to establish a mansion and establish teeth, he became a real vassal king. Although Qianyuan was powerful in the fief, his activities outside the fief were correspondingly more restricted, and it was impossible to recruit troops from other places.

This is one of the court's bottom lines and cannot be touched.

Guo Jia seemed to have been prepared for a long time, "Your Highness, regarding the soldiers, I think of two channels, but both need to be approved by His Highness."

"You said."

"The first channel is the half-demon." Guo Jia said surprisingly, "Half-demon fighters participated in the two wars, and their loyalty and combat effectiveness have been proved. The officials think that it is time to give the half-demon an official title."

Guo Jia is an aborigine, so he has no objection to the half-demon.

As soon as this remark came out, the others did not say a word, no matter whether they agreed or disagreed, they would not express their attitude in a hurry, because this issue was too sensitive.

Only Guo Jia dared to speak.

Qian Yuan didn't have any strange reactions, he let the half-demon fighters participate in the battle twice, besides to test the loyalty of the half-demon clan, he was also making an attempt.

Compared with ordinary people, soldiers are more likely to accept the appearance of half-demons as "comrades in arms". It is one of Qianyuan's plans to integrate half-demon fighters into the army at an appropriate opportunity.

Guo Jia was afraid that he had seen this point a long time ago, so he dared to bring it up.

Qianyuan said calmly: "It is not impossible to let the half-demon officially join the ranks. The problem is that there are less than 500 half-demon warriors in total, and some of them have to join the black guards, which is really a drop in the bucket."

It seems that it is time to expand the training scale of the secret base.

Guo Jiadao: "Besides the half-demons, there is actually a group of people who are neglected in the fief. They are large in size and good at fighting. They are really the best choice for conscription."

"who is it?"

Now, Qian Yuan was really curious.
