Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 406 New starting point, new dormancy!
On October [-], the two countries reached a ceasefire agreement.

The two countries will use the existing occupied area as the boundary to delineate a new border line, avoiding the outbreak of a human civil war, and disappointing the monster race who are preparing to watch the excitement.

At this point, Dongsheng Shenzhou ushered in a new pattern.

With the destruction of the three major demon kingdoms in the south, the human race once again had the absolute upper hand in Dongsheng Shenzhou, suppressing the arrogance of the demon race.

Whether it's the Black Tiger King or the Spirit Snake King, they haven't spoken too hard recently, and the two demon kingdoms have consciously reduced the harassment on the border between Qi and Zhao. Depending on the situation, it seems that they are going to lie dormant for a while.

Let Qi Zhao and the two countries pick up a ready-made bargain.

If it wasn't for the joint efforts of Qi, Chu and Zhao to curb Daqian, if the four countries joined forces, they would actually be sure to drive the monster race out of the Dongsheng Shenzhou boundary in one go.

It's a pity that internal fighting is the nature of the human race, and it cannot be controlled by any one person.

Qian Yuan could only sigh secretly.

…………

As the war ends, so does winter.

The palace, Zichen Palace.

In the imperial study room, Qian Yuan was reviewing the county and county planning for the newly occupied area proposed by Shangshutai.

In Lion Country, except for the northern area occupied by Chu State, referring to the practice of Qingniu Kingdom before, it was planned into Yanzhong County, Yandong County, Yannan County, and Yanxi County.

The southern part of the country is planned as Yuannan County.

In this way, Dagan will add another five counties, and the territory in Dongsheng Shenzhou will reach ten counties.

As for the candidates for the new five counties, Shang Shutai gave a list of ten people for Qianyuan's reference in making decisions, and also attached the detailed resumes of the ten people.

They are all the best.

Among them, there are those who have performed well in the seven yamen, such as Liu Song, the doctor of the Ministry of Officials, and the prefects or prefects of the five prefectures of Penglai, such as Feng Kaishan, the prefect of Kunwu County, and Zheng Jiuzheng, the prefect of Liusha.

In the past five years, there have also been those who have stood out among the five prefectures of Qingniu, such as Yu Lun, the prime minister of Kuibei County, Tang Yougong, the prime minister of Kuidong County, and so on.

Most of them are rising stars in the officialdom.

Because Dagan has established a system of promotion, appointment and removal, and evaluation of officials that runs through the top and bottom, and the channels are smooth, outstanding talents will only emerge in a steady stream.

There is no need for Qianyuan to call civil servants to save the field, and those trained locally are sufficient.

…………

Qianyuan had just circled the five candidates for the county guard, and the female officer notified that Pei Ju, Minister of the Ministry of War, was asking to see him outside the hall.

"Bring it in."

Qian Yuan immediately guessed that Pei Ju had come to report to him on the situation of the army reorganization.

In the just-concluded southern campaign, although Dagan won a complete victory, he also lost 5 to [-] people, which needs to be replenished in time.

Right now, the lowest cultivation level of the soldiers in the Great Army is the middle stage of martial arts, so it will be very troublesome to replenish, but we can't directly recruit local troops to replenish them like before.

Just as he was thinking, Pei Ju had already entered.

"sit!"

Qian Yuan smiled and asked the female officer to show Pei Ju some tea.

"Your Majesty, this is the army reorganization plan drawn up by the Ministry of War. Please take a look at it." Sure enough, the monarch and his ministers had just exchanged a few words when Pei Ju presented a memorial.

This is not a memorial written by the Ministry of War, but just a draft. Obviously, Pei Ju was unsure about some details, so he rushed to the Zichen Hall to face the saint in person.

Qian Yuan took the memorial and read it carefully.

Regarding the replenishment of soldiers, Pei Ju did not embarrass Qian Yuan. The memorial has already made detailed arrangements, and the local army can draw [-] to [-] elite supplements.

There are also more than [-] martial arts students accumulated in the middle and high-level martial arts academy in the past five years.

It can barely be arranged.

Even if there is a slight deficiency, wait another year, and when the new batch of martial arts students graduate, they will be able to make up for it immediately, and there is no big problem.

Pei Ju's dilemma is actually the question of whether to expand the army.

"If the Three Kingdoms Alliance of Qi, Chu, and Zhao are used as the imaginary enemy, the Staff Department of the Ministry of War has repeatedly deduced and came to the conclusion that at least an additional [-] troops would be needed to barely suffice." Pei Ju said.

"A new corps?" Qianyuan was surprised.

"Exactly."

Qian Yuan smiled wryly, "Ai Qing thinks, given the current situation of the imperial court, is it possible to expand a corps?" Even supplementing the war damage has to be pieced together, so there is no condition to expand the army.

Unless the threshold for the army is lowered, this is unacceptable to Qianyuan.

"Then, what does Your Majesty mean?" Pei Ju said calmly.

In fact, the call for military expansion did not come from the Ministry of War, but from the demands of some military generals, especially those militants who clamored all day long to attack and destroy Chu.

Obviously, the army is already very dissatisfied with Chu State's previous actions.

When did the Dagan army suffer such a dark loss?

I heard that small-scale conflicts broke out from time to time on the border of Chu State, and generals such as Li Jing and Xue Rengui turned a blind eye.

Obviously, he also wanted to use this to channel dissatisfaction in the army.

Qian Yuan did not hesitate, and said: "There is no need to mention the matter of expanding the army. I am still thinking, when will the standard of generals be raised to the late stage of martial arts, and there will never be any situation where there is no need to make up for the number."

"Wei Chen understands!"

Pei Ju smiled and nodded, now he has a reason to stop the mouth of the lieutenant.

"In addition, in order to reward the soldiers who have worked hard this time, it is just the end of the year, so the Ministry of War will pay two months more." Qian Yuan added.

"Your Majesty, Shengming!"

This time, Pei Ju had nothing to say.

…………

Two days later, the Ministry of Officials announced the appointment and dismissal of officials.

He promoted Liu Song to be governor of Yizhong, Feng Kaishan to governor of Yidong, Zheng Jiu to governor of Yannan, Yu Lun to governor of Nixi, and Tang Yougong to governor of Yuannan.

It marked that Daqian's rule over the land of five counties began to get on the right track.

At the same time, the Ministry of Household Affairs launched a second 1000 million immigration plan, preparing to relocate 1000 million people from Penglai Island to the newly established five counties within three years.

With the current population growth rate of Penglai Island, there is no problem at all.

As for the development plan for the new five counties, it can only be discussed after the year after the year, when the imperial court and the governors of the five counties sort out the local conditions.

…………

The winter of Shenwu's 11th year was extremely calm, and it was already Shenwu's [-]th year in a blink of an eye.

As soon as the spring began, the Lifan Academy immediately sent three envoys to the countries of Yan, Yue and Wu in Nanzhan Buzhou to discuss the establishment of diplomatic relations and trade with the three countries.

Originally, the Lifan Academy only selected the Wu and Yue countries, and the Yan country was added by Qian Yuan.

From Dagan to Yan Country, if you take the sea route, you have to cross more than half of the East China Sea and then enter the North Sea to reach Yan Country. The journey alone will take more than a month.

Not to mention, there is also the uncertain factor of the North Sea Monster Race.

Qian Yuan insisted on this, of course not because Luo Mengli, an old friend, was in Yan country, but hoped to make arrangements in advance to collect information on the three major demon countries in the north of Dongsheng Shenzhou through Yan country, a transfer station.

It is also to further control the sea power.

…………

Unsurprisingly, the three countries of Wu, Yue, and Yan successively agreed to establish diplomatic relations with Daqian and open maritime trade.

At this time, Daqian was no longer as well-known as it was when it first came out. It had successively destroyed the Green Ox Kingdom and the Lion Kingdom, and had great prestige. It was an existence that no kingdom would despise.

On the premise that there is no actual conflict of interest, it seems natural to establish diplomatic relations with Daqian.

some of,
The Yue Kingdom, which is not among the five sects, is the most enthusiastic.

Like Dagan, the Yue Kingdom implemented a dynastic system. Although there were sects of cultivation within the kingdom, they all succumbed to the royal power.

At this point, the two countries are naturally close.

If it is not the first time to deal with each other and they are not familiar with each other, the King of Yue is even ready to form an alliance with Dagan.

As for the development of maritime trade, the Three Kingdoms of Wu, Yue, and Yan didn't really take it seriously because they didn't know much about the specific situation of Dagan.

As everyone knows, Dagan has already regarded the Three Kingdoms of Wu, Yue, and Yan as a new point of trade growth and a dumping ground for cheap cultivation items, providing growth momentum for the industrialization of cultivation within the dynasty.

Yuannan County, which was just established, is close to the water, and it has become the priority development goal of Daqian in the next step. The imperial court plans to invest huge sums of money to speed up the construction of the port and infrastructure in Yuannan County.

For a while, it was in full swing.
