Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 201
With the reorganization of the Minwei City Guard Brigade and the second, third, and fourth brigades of the First Division, the situation in Minwei Prefecture has completely stabilized.

The local aristocratic families, large and small, consciously draw a clear line with Taixuzong.

Whether it was out of guilt, or because they were worried about the liquidation of Prince Qin's mansion afterwards, these aristocratic families have actively cooperated with Li Wei's administration in Jiwei Mansion, without causing any obstacles.

The expected storm did not happen.

This made Qianyuan a little disappointed, and he felt that he had missed a good opportunity to reshuffle the cards in Jiwei Mansion.

It can be seen that the aristocratic family's cunning, flexibility, and thick skin have been cultivated to the peak. Fighting them is really a lot of brains.

Li Wei rushed to the palace to report on his duties this time, mainly to ask for policies from the palace, and was going to show his strengths in the Jiwei Mansion.

The first one is the development of copper mines.

There is a large-scale copper mine in Jishan County, Minwei Prefecture, which has not been effectively utilized due to low mining efficiency.

When Li Wei served as the magistrate of Yingshui County, he devoted all his efforts to promoting the construction of a steel factory in Yingshui County. Now that he is working in Jiwei Prefecture, he is naturally eager to start a modern copper mine.

This requires technical and financial support from the Palace.

Qian Yuan didn't even think about it, and agreed directly. A copper mining factory is of great significance to the fiefdom. Among other things, copper is indispensable for wires and cables.

Second, Li Wei wants to follow the example of the Qingshui Pass and open up trade at the Qingshui Pass.

The border trade at the Fieshui Pass has become one of the financial pillars of the fiefdom, and it has indirectly driven the rapid development of the new area to the east of Qingqiu City.

Given that the fief has already reconciled with Wanhua Gate, there seems to be no obstacle to opening the Qingshui Pass.

But Qian Yuan did not agree.

On the one hand, considering the strategic security of the fief defense, opening two passes at the same time will put a lot of pressure on the Fourth Brigade of the First Division, which is responsible for guarding the pass.

Second, it is easy to cause vicious competition between Qingqiu Mansion and Jiwei Mansion.

The most important thing is that Wanhuamen's attitude is unclear.

According to the report of the secret agents of the black guards lurking in the city of Zhaoyao, after losing the Jiwei mansion, the county guard Zhao Wuya went up the mountain again and again, urging him to seek help from the sect alliance.

Under Zhao Wuya's insistence, Taixuzi also seemed to realize that the strength of Taixuzong alone was not enough, and he began to relax, and agreed to send people to contact Kunlun faction and Wanhuamen.

Qian Yuan had to defend himself.

After being rejected, Li Wei seemed very disappointed. He originally wanted to take advantage of the opening of the Qingshui Pass to follow the example of Qingqiu City and promote new technology industries in Jiwei City.

Now it seems that there is no play.

Qian Yuan also made two demands on Li Wei.

The first is to cooperate with the soldiers and do a good job in the logistics support of the garrison in Jiwei Prefecture.

Lightning took down Jiwei Mansion, and the Southwest Corps seized a large amount of weapons and equipment, as well as grain and grass supplies, but they needed the cooperation of the local government to send them to the various ministries in a smooth manner.

Li Wei naturally nodded in response.

The second requirement is to vigorously promote Jiuzhou No. [-] rice and potatoes while intensifying efforts to transform spiritual fields and strive to achieve [-]% of the spiritual fields.

This requirement is a bit high, and the interests of many people are involved, which is a difficult task.

Li Wei didn't think too much about it, and agreed directly.

Qian Yuan liked Li Wei's brute force, and he praised Li Wei greatly, and they had a pleasant talk.

…………

After seeing off Li Wei, New Year's Eve is here.

Because of the new death of the fifth rock, under the instruction of Qian Yuan, the New Year's Eve in Prince Qin's Mansion was very quiet, and there was no big celebration to comfort the dead.

Just after the Spring Festival, the palace welcomed a group of special guests. It was Ziyue's fifth Panshi descendant from the First Legion. There were as many as 12 people, and the lowest was Ying Zheng.

These 12 people did not come secretly, and they all had military dispatch orders in their hands.

It can be seen that the fifth scorching sun has given the greatest cooperation. Of course, among them, there is also the factor that the ninth prince Qianshen does not want to destroy the ally relationship with Qianyuan.

The game behind it is far more complicated than it appears on the surface.

There are so many go-getters here at once, but Qian Yuan is worried.The small temple of the Southwest Army Corps has a radish and a hole, and it really can't fit it all at once.

It is reported that the Ninth Prince originally wanted to arrange for some people to join the Third Legion, but was resisted by the generals headed by the Legion Commander Zhan Tian.

It can be seen that the xenophobia of the Third Army will only be more serious than that of the Southwest Corps.

According to Ziyue, this is only the first batch.

After deliberation, Qian Yuan decided to temporarily place most of them in the new barracks and the Green Willow Villa as instructors, and then make arrangements for the next expansion of the army.

In order not to chill the hearts of these soldiers, the treatment of pills has been increased.

There are only two exceptions.

One is Wu Qingke, known as Fatty Wu, former deputy director of the First Army Corps' Combat Preparedness Department.The last time Ziyue contacted and asked the First Army to purchase military supplies on its behalf, it was Wu Qingke who handled it.

I don't know if the third prince found out about this matter, or simply suppressed it. During the purge last year, Wu Qingke was demoted to be a granary gatekeeper.

What a shame.

As soon as the fifth Ziyue called, Wu Qingke ran over.

According to Ziyue, although Wu Qingke is a fat man who looks more like a businessman than a soldier, he is very good at allocating logistics supplies for the army.

Otherwise, he would not be able to take the position of deputy director of the combat readiness department.

Qianyuan had no doubts about employing people, so he directly appointed Wu Qingke as the head of the Bingcao War Preparation Section.

It seems that his status is not as good as that of the deputy director of the First Army's combat readiness department, but Wu Qingke is responsible for the mobilization of food and grass for the fiefdom army, and has great potential, so he naturally agrees.

The other is Gao Rui, a hard-working, cold-faced young man.

However, this is a master of intelligence. He previously served as the deputy director of the Military Intelligence Department in the First Army Corps. Similarly, this time he was appointed by Qian Yuan as the head of the Bing Cao Military Intelligence Department.

Speaking of which, the military intelligence department has been established for some time.

But every time there is a big war, the black guards are still required to provide information, which embarrasses the generals in the army, including Guo Jia, and has long hoped that the military intelligence department can provoke the leader.

In this way, the military intelligence department will be responsible for the military intelligence, and the black guards will no longer be used.

The burden on Gu Rui is not light.

The arrival of Fatty Wu and others is a great supplement to both Bingcao and the Southwest Corps, further consolidating the army's foundation.

Talent is rare.

…………

When Qian Yuan was still engrossed in recruiting a new batch of military talents, the Bing Jia Division gave him another big surprise.

Just after the Lantern Festival, Master Yan Zhi, the head of Bing Jia Division, took Qian Yuan to visit the XC area.

The so-called XC area is the original western suburb of Qingqiu City.

After the new area in the east, the industrial area, and the military area in the western suburbs successively became large-scale, Qianyuan took advantage of the situation and made a major adjustment to the urban planning of Qingqiu City.

The original Qingqiu city area was renamed the main city area.

The three new districts on the outskirts of the city are called Donglin New District, Nancheng District (Industrial District) and XC District in turn. It can be regarded as a formal establishment for the three new districts, allowing their development to be on the right track.

The area of ​​the entire Qingqiu City has nearly doubled.

Except that there is no formation, Qingqiu City is already faintly comparable to the county city.Such a fast construction speed also benefits from the popularity of cement, which greatly speeds up the construction speed.

After more than a year of construction, the XC area has completely changed.

The outskirts of the city are tall city walls built of stone, and there are tall arrow towers, watchtowers, and monk towers at intervals, which can be said to be armed to the teeth.

It can be regarded as the urn city of Qingqiu City, or even a satellite city.

At the foot of the city wall, there are neatly arranged barracks, school grounds and other military facilities one after another.The Qingqiu City Guard Brigade and the First Division First Brigade are stationed here.

Surrounded by the barracks in the middle is the real core of the XC area.

The granary, arsenal, and dozens of various military workshops of the Bing Jia Division are all located here, and even the newly established alchemy hall is located here.

It can be described as a military important place among military important places.

It was one of the large-scale military workshops that Master Yan Zhi wanted to show Qian Yuan to. He said that after his painstaking research, he finally developed a remarkable large-scale weapon.

"Epoch-breaking, epoch-making."

With Master Yan Zhi's calmness, he was so excited, which really aroused Qian Yuan's curiosity.
