Chapter 361 The Current Situation of Sihai County

Outside the city of Sihai County.

A Potu Shiro landed slowly, and Zheng Ming led Chen Duo, Yan Lingji and others out of it.

After that, he took a carriage and drove towards the county town.

The carriage moved slowly, and the breeze blew gently, blowing the wheat on both sides of the road and swaying the branches.

Yan Lingji stood outside the carriage, holding the small swallowing python in one hand, stroking the hair of the shawl with the other, looking at the county city that was getting closer and closer with her soft eyes.

In the carriage, Zheng Ming was leaning on the soft bed, and Chen Duo obediently took out a box of snacks and handed it to his mouth.

Zheng Ming just went back to Dali.

Three months ago, Lian Xing gave birth to a fat boy, and Zheng Ming was afraid that they would not be well taken care of here, so he sent the two of them back to Dali.

Although Sihai County was very peaceful during this time and was not affected by the great prosperity and chaos in the slightest, it might not be the case in the future, if someone called at the door one day, it would be bad.

So Zheng Ming sent Lian Xing and the child back to Da Li as a precaution.

The carriage came leisurely to the front of the palace, Zheng Ming got off the carriage, glanced casually at the quiet street, and entered the palace.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the palace, Xiao Fuzi came out to welcome him.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Zheng Ming nodded slightly, and while walking towards the palace, he asked, "What's important recently?"

Xiao Fuzi followed behind him and said, "There is nothing else, but there is one thing that His Majesty should be interested in."

"What's the matter!" Zheng Ming walked into the backyard and came to the study.

The desk in the study room is full of paperwork, which seems to have been accumulated for a long time.

"Three days ago, Emperor Sheng was seriously ill, and the crown prince supervised the country!" Xiao Fuzi said.

Zheng Ming sat in front of the desk, raised his eyebrows, and then opened the paperwork on it to read.

"Not dead yet?"

"No. According to Jin Yiwei, Sheng Huang is currently bedridden." Xiao Fuzi said.

Zheng Ming nodded slightly.

If you haven't died yet, that means it's not time yet.

After casually reading a few books, Zheng Ming threw them aside.

Most of them were sent by Jin Yiwei, and a small part of the information about the major forces was sent by the cabinet and the governor's mansion, nothing too important.

In fact, there is no need for Zheng Ming to worry too much about Sihai County now. All aspects are already on the right track. Zheng Ming doesn't need to stare at everything, he just needs to know the specific details.

"Where's Jia Xu?" Zheng Ming asked.

"Master Jia Xu is in another courtyard." Xiao Fuzi said.

Zheng Ming thought for a while, shook his head slightly, and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it together at the Xiaochao meeting tomorrow."

He just came back, and he didn't bother to deal with these messy things, so let's be lazy first.

All night.

The next morning, Zheng Ming summoned Wang Shouming, Huang Feihu, Gao Shun, Jia Xu, Dongfang Bubai and others to the palace.

In the spacious hall, everyone was seated, and the maid served tea.

After a cup of tea.

Zheng Ming said, "Let's start with the cabinet first."

Ever since he came to Immortal Land, Zheng Ming has almost never held an early court. Even if Sihai County established a small court, Zheng Ming never thought about opening the early court again.

In his opinion, morning court is a waste of time, and if you have time for morning court, it is better to sleep more.

Of course, not going to the early court does not mean not dealing with political affairs, but Zheng Ming likes to hold small meetings.

Political affairs call the cabinet for a small meeting, military affairs call the governor's mansion, and cultivation matters call the worship hall. If they are all involved, then all of them will be called together for a small court meeting.

Wang Shouming opened the document in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, as of last month, the primary, secondary and advanced schools for practitioners in Sihai County and Suihe County have all been constructed. It will take about a year to complete the expansion of the new holy place together with the temple.”

It can be said that it is not easy to complete the establishment of the cultivator training system in Sihai County and Suihe County in more than two years.

However, the cabinet still did it, which fully demonstrates the abilities of Wang Shouming, Zheng Ziming and others.

Zheng Ming nodded slightly, and Wang Shouming continued: "As for the construction of official roads in Sihai County and Suihe County, [-] miles of official roads have been completed, almost one third of which is completed. It is estimated that the plan formulated by the Ministry of Industry will be completed within the next three years. .”

To get rich, build roads first.

Zheng Ming never gave up his attributes as an infrastructure madman.

Even in fairyland, basic road construction is the top priority of people's livelihood.

A good road can bring about economic development, the flow of people, and the spread of culture.

Although the cultivation world of the Dasheng Dynasty tended towards high martial arts, ordinary people still lived the lives of small farmers. Zheng Ming could not ignore the livelihood of ordinary people because of those practitioners.

Because ordinary people and practitioners are his subjects, they can provide him with luck.

Wang Shouming continued: "Last month, the cabinet completed the tax collection for the first year of Sihai County. Among them, 5 taels of tax silver and 120,000 Lingshi were collected."

Zheng Ming raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "Have all the cultivating families paid taxes?"

The collection of spirit stones is basically all from the cultivating family, and the main tax collection is the commercial tax of Fangshi.

At the beginning, Zheng Ming still needed to collect personal income tax, but after thinking about it, he gave up because it was too difficult to operate.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the cultivating family has all paid taxes in accordance with the tax law, and there is no evasion." Wang Shouming said.

Zheng Ming was a little surprised.

He didn't expect these cultivating families to be so knowledgeable.

Wang Shouming motioned for himself to finish speaking, and Zheng Ming looked at Gao Shun and Huang Feihu again.

Gao Shun began to say: "Your Majesty, the Governor's Mansion currently has eight legions of the Xianwu Army, each with 100,000 people, a total of 800,000 people, and another 300,000 reserve troops, who are undergoing military formation training and are expected to be completed in four months. .”

Zheng Ming nodded, he knew all this.

For more than a year, Sihai County and Suihe County have put down their flags and drums, and have made every effort to recruit and train new recruits.

Among them, the Xianwu Army belonging to Dali has four legions, Sihai County has two legions, and Suihe County has two legions.

Although the overall strength of the army is still not as good as that of the rebel families such as the Bei family and the Xiao family, it has been greatly improved.

Gao Shun continued: "Now the Seventh Army and Eighth Army are commanded by General Yan Mingchen, and they are supporting the Bei family's army in Yiyang County."

"In addition, in terms of logistics, the Governor's Mansion has added [-] Poto Shiro ships, and the current number of Poto Shiro ships has reached [-]."

"There are more than [-] mechanical beasts of various types, which are providing logistical support for the Seventh Legion and the Eighth Legion."

The logistics consumption of the Xiandi war is very serious. Food, grass, pills, shields, armor, weapons, etc. all need logistical support.

Without a sound logistics support system, the frontline troops would be in a very dangerous situation.

But now Dali's logistics support system has tended to be institutionalized, and the main means of transportation are small and medium-sized organ beasts.

Mechanism beasts have many advantages, such as fast speed, saving manpower, being able to cross obstacles and so on.

In short, mechanism beasts are used in many ways in the military.

However, the number of Potoshiro is still not enough, only 800,000 ships. You must know that the current Xianwu Army has [-]. Once a full-scale war breaks out, [-] Potoshiro ships will not be enough at all.

Although Zheng Ming has repeatedly expanded the production scale of Potoshiro, and even sold Potoshiro in large quantities in order to earn the expanded spirit stones, but the time is too short after all, and the production scale of Potoshiro still cannot keep up with the demand.

"What is the current production efficiency of Potoshiro?" Zheng Ming asked.

Gao Shun replied: "Currently the workshop in the camp has 48 docks, which can complete a manufacturing every three months."

That is to say, 48 Podoshiro ships can be manufactured in three months. If Dali is added, it should be [-] ships in three months.

The flying boat base on Dali's side has stopped expanding the scale of the manufacturing of Potoshiro.The reason is that many of the materials needed to make Potu Shiro are not available in Jiuyu Shenzhou, and they need to be transported from Sihai County.

It was a waste of resources to transport it back and forth, so Zheng Ming directly stopped the expansion there, and only kept the flying boat and mechanism research institute.

In fact, the efficiency of making Podo Shiro is not low now, 240 ships can be manufactured in three months, and [-] ships in a year.

But Sihai County's demand for Potu Shiro is really too great. It needs to connect to Dali, connect to Feiyun City, and also needs it in the army. In addition, it also needs to sell Potu Shiro to earn spirit stones.

Zheng Ming estimated that even if the manufacturing scale was doubled, it would not be enough.

After Gao Shun finished speaking, it was Dongfang Bubai's turn.

As the master of the hall of worship, Dongfang Bubai is responsible for many things.

I saw Dongfang Bubai said with a heroic face: "Your Majesty, there are currently 520 registered enshrined enshriners in the Sihai County Shrine Hall, 23 people at the Tongxuan Realm, and two people at the Bright Dao Realm."

Entering the Immortal Land, the requirements for offerings in the Hall of Offerings have also increased to a higher level. Only practitioners above the Cave God Realm are eligible to become offerings.

At present, the worship hall in Sihai County is mainly responsible for the management of practitioners in Sihai County and Suihe County, and the registered offerings include almost all the masters and powerhouses in Sihai County and Suihe County.

Needless to say, there were quite a few of them in the Cave God Realm and the Profound Realm, and Zheng Ming had quite a few of them, plus those cultivating families, there were still hundreds of people.

As for Ming Dao Realm, there are only Huang Feihu and Jiu Jianxian, and Ben Boerba and Ba Boerben are no longer enshrined in the ranks.

"Currently, the Baizong Hall has covered all the county towns, and all the staff are in place."

"In addition, the holy land currently has more than 10,000 taels disciples."

Dongfang Bubai said slowly.

After Zheng Ming finished listening, he tapped on the table lightly.

Baizongdian is one of the most important institutions under the Highness of Consecration. It is mainly responsible for cracking down on cultivators' crimes, maintaining the relationship between ordinary people and cultivators, and preventing cultivators from indiscriminately harming ordinary people.

This is a bit similar to the yamen's catchers. In fact, within Dali, Baizongdian is similar to the yamen's catchers, and they are all dispatched by the local government.

As for the Holy Land of Sihai County, which was only temporarily established two years ago, without even a name, Zheng Ming plans to wait for the right time to move all the six Holy Lands of Dali here. Currently, the Holy Land of Sihai County is only recruiting young folks. Genius nurture.

After listening to their reports, Zheng Ming had a rough idea.

At present, the various policies of the government offices at all levels in Sihai County have tended to be perfected. Although there are still loopholes in some places, the impact is not very great.

What's more, the Dudu Mansion's savings for several years have finally yielded results. The 800,000 army is enough for Zheng Ming to step in in this prosperous and chaotic world.

Time to strike!

Thinking of this, Zheng Ming looked at Jia Xu and said, "Sheng Huang is seriously ill and is bedridden. All the officials in the Da Sheng court are uneasy, and the forces of all parties are increasing their offensive power."

"Everyone, it's time for us to get ready to attack!"

He stood up, put his hands on the table, and looked at everyone with sharp eyes.

After coming to Xiandi for four years, he has been silent for four years. Except for occasional troubles, he has been restraining his hands and feet and developing wretchedly.

Now the wings are gradually plump, and it's time to soar into the sky.
