In the Supreme Hall, Yang Qiu looked at some memorials reported from various places.
A look of joy appeared on his face.
"Yes, there are good harvests everywhere, and in our Sui Empire, every household has begun to have surplus food. Mr. Di Renjie has appointed you as the Supervisory Minister, responsible for supervising various places;
By the way, is there any news about Li Bai and his entourage? Counting the time, we have been going to Caizhou for so long, why haven’t even a memorial been sent to them?
In this case, Di Renjie, your first stop is to go to Caizhou and check it out carefully. "
At this moment, a bad person came to Yang Qiu and took out a letter and handed it to Yang Qiu.
After Yang Qiu received the letter, although his face was expressionless, the anger in his heart could hardly be suppressed.
The letter was written about matters in Caizhou County.
"It was just a second-grade warrior, but there was actually a conspiracy to rebel. Qin Zongquan, the prefect of Xucheng in Caizhou County, secretly assembled 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack the envoys of Lin Zexu, Wei Zheng, Li Bai and others;
Fortunately, the Tauren Army was so powerful that almost all of Qin Zongquan's 5,000 troops were wiped out. As a result, rumors spread out somewhere that the imperial court was preparing to take action against Caizhou, and those noble families who were hiding in the dark;
He also took the opportunity to secretly add fuel to the flames. At the same time, a man named Huang Chao, whom Qin Zongquan supported, claimed to be emperor and named his country Daqi. His abbreviated name was extremely ridiculous;
Fortunately, with the assistance of Li Bai and others and Dongfang Yumei, the orphan of the new general, they were able to kill all the unknown rebels;
After thinking over and over again, I decided to rest for three years, stop foreign campaigns, and use these three years to recuperate;
The next step of the plan will be made in three years. Not long ago, when my university empire conquered the Ming Dynasty, it also annexed several small countries around the Ming Dynasty;
Among these small countries, the Kingdom of Koryo is the most special. Our Sui Empire will not surrender to Koryo with just one soldier, nor will it be easy for me to dethrone the King of Koryo from the throne.
After all, they voluntarily surrendered. I divided the Kingdom of Korea into autonomous counties and decided to implement the Tuen Order in Korea. What do you think? "
"Your Majesty's plan is very clever. Koryo surrendered voluntarily and was accepted as a part of our Great Sui Empire. However, the internal strength is still there. Your Majesty can extend the grace order.
We can also establish colleges or academies in Koryo, transfer the culture of our Great Sui Empire into them, and then break down the interior of Koryo step by step;
Let the Koreans and the people of our Sui Empire intermarry with each other. If this happens within a hundred years, the Koreans will completely become part of our country. "
Zhang Liang stood up and expressed his opinion.
Yang Qiu was quite satisfied after hearing this.
After the small incident in Caizhou ended, the court meeting also officially ended.
Yang Qiu had a busy day yesterday, and today he was ready to have a good sleep.
After resigning from the court, Yang Qiu came to the harem.
At this time, Cai Lun beside Yang Qiu spoke.
"Your Majesty, the beauties paid tribute by the Han Dynasty have arrived in the harem not long ago. Your Majesty, please don't go and visit."
"In a few days, we should put state affairs first, otherwise I will really become a foolish king who only loves beauty."
"This slave talks too much, please be punished by Your Majesty."
"No, having said that, how many people can the artillery corps be expanded to now?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, the artillery corps can now be expanded to 30,000 people, and a large amount of iron ore has been transported from various places to the vicinity of Chang'an City;
According to His Majesty's instructions, five arsenals have been established in several other important cities in the Sui Empire, and one more arsenal is currently being built in Fuzhou;
It is expected that the construction will be completed in another 4 months, and by then the output will be greater. In addition, we have developed a new flintlock gun, which is still in the experimental stage;
Also in accordance with His Majesty's instructions, these soldiers were divided into the Shenji Battalion. The Shenji Battalion currently has 100,000 people, of which 70,000 are reserve soldiers and 30,000 are regular soldiers;
Among them, there were only 20,000 flintlock muskets, and the soldiers took turns to practice. "
"Within three years, I will see these 100,000 soldiers, each with a flintlock rifle."
"I accept the order. In addition, I have recruited talents from all over the country. Not long ago, there was a group of craftsmen from the Han Dynasty. One of them was named Ma Jun. I think this person is quite good.
He adopted him as his adopted son, but your majesty can rest assured that the slave will never show favoritism. He is now the new manager of the arsenal in Fuzhou. He only needs to wait until the arsenal in Fuzhou is established;
He is responsible for the management, and his ability is obvious to all. This is the catapult he invented and improved. Please take a look at it. "
After Cai Lun finished speaking, he took out a design drawing of a sling.
Yang Qiu nodded after reading it.
"I decided to improve the artillery. This project can allow him to participate. At the same time, he will not be transferred to Fuzhou. An additional arsenal will be built in Julu County, Jizhou, Han Dynasty;
Send him there, and at the same time dispatch some soldiers from the Shenji Battalion to arrive there. I recently received a message from a bad person;
The Han Dynasty has been completely reduced to a group. Not long ago, there was an incident where 18 princes attacked Dong Zhuo. The Han Dynasty's general He Jin was assassinated by a beautiful woman at a banquet;
According to the intelligence, the beauty is Dong Bai, the granddaughter of Dong Zhuo. Since the incident has completely caused civil strife in the Han Dynasty, I want to focus on one person, Cao Cao, the governor of Dongjun;
This person happens to be not far from Jizhou. If there is any trouble with him, the Shenji Battalion will be the first to beat him and use him as a training target;
I have found many powerful people among the Han people, including Dian Wei from Chenliu, Xu Chu from Xudu, Li Dian from Shanyang, Lejin from Yangping, Chen Dao from Ruzhou, and Taishi Ci from Donglai;
Among them there are many strong men at the master level. They will become the sharp swords for the few to conquer the big Han in the future. In addition, they really need to be wary of Lu Bu in Bingzhou;
This Lu Bu came to us because of the relationship with the Empress Dowager Lu Pheasant. He has two generals at the Grandmaster level under him, namely Gao Shun at the early stage of the Grandmaster stage and Zhang Liao at the late stage of the Grandmaster stage;
Not long ago, I sent an envoy to him, wanting to marry his daughter Lu Lingqi as my concubine in the West Palace. Lu Bu didn't refuse, but he didn't agree either. The envoy had been delayed there for almost half a month. . "
