The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 342

Even so, Jia Min still decided to say what he should say.

Since Wang Ziteng came to inspect on behalf of the emperor, he had to report his work situation to him.

Still the same sentence, I am selfless in my heart, and I am open to business.If Wang Ziteng came here as an uncle to visit relatives, he wouldn't bother to tell him these things.

The second aspect of Jia Min's report is about the economy.

The key point is to build the city wall as a leader to attract a large number of foreign population.Create a large number of employment opportunities and business opportunities in Bukui, and then develop Bukui's construction industry, planting and breeding industry, and further expand to the animal husbandry and collection industry in the South Vendura grassland.

The ultimate goal is to develop Bukui's economy and let a large number of people settle in Bukui, so as to achieve the goal of enriching the frontier.

Managing exiles and enriching the frontier is Bu Kui's basic position, and it was also the original intention of the imperial court to set up Bu Kui's Yamen here.

Jia Min felt that his main energy should not deviate from this direction.

As for the Battle of South Wendura he initiated, it was also for this purpose, and it was a measure he had to take to eliminate the threat of the three major tribes to Bu Kui.

The content of the third aspect of the report is about the military situation.

Because of the impact of the recent battle of South Wendura, this is also a topic that cannot be avoided.

As soon as he heard Jia Min mentioning military issues, Wang Ziteng immediately regained his energy, and his expression immediately became more friendly.

So Jia Min explained the reasons for launching the Battle of South Wendura, the process and the results of the battle.In the middle, Wang Ziteng interjected and asked a lot of questions, and Jia Min answered them truthfully.

Regarding the current military situation, Jia Min mainly introduced two aspects.One is his current military expansion.

After the Battle of South Vendura, 1000 people were selected to join the army among exiles.At the same time, 2000 people were recruited from the four major tribes.In Bukui and surrounding areas, 1000 people were also recruited.

In this way, he expanded by 4000 people, plus the original more than 700 people in the Fubingtuan, and there were nearly 6000 troops.

At present, these four thousand recruits are already in place and are undergoing training.

The second major task of the current military situation is the task that the Fubingtuan is currently engaged in among the four major tribes.

It mainly includes daily patrol and public security, inventory of land, pasture, forest, water source, water surface, population inventory, maintenance of market order and safety of commercial routes, etc.

These things are actually not what the army should do, but the responsibility of the local government.

However, the current prefectures and counties have not yet been established, and the officials sent by the imperial court have not yet arrived, so Jia Min took on this responsibility first.

Moreover, Bu Kui itself is a yamen that integrates the military and the government, and will also have leadership responsibilities for the newly established prefectures and counties in the future.

The original tribal leader system in the South Wendula Grassland has been broken by Jia Min. At present, there is actually a power vacuum, and Bu Kui's power is needed to intervene to maintain order there.

Otherwise, there will be a chaotic situation without a leader.

Since Jia Min broke the original order, he has the responsibility to maintain the order there.

In the future, after the imperial court has all the officials, the members of the Fubingtuan will transfer power, withdraw from the grassland, and stop interfering in the affairs of the local government.

Jia Min put the military issue at the end.

The reason for this is also because he believes that this issue is really not that important compared with the previous immigration affairs and economic issues.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Seeing that Jia Min finished speaking, Wang Ziteng asked a question.

"That's all I think about now, and it's a big deal to do these things. It won't take a few years to see obvious results."

Seeing that Jia Min didn't answer according to his own train of thought, Wang Ziteng had no choice but to cut to the chase.

"What do you think of the situation in North Vendura?"

The problem of North Vendura is actually the problem of the Tatars.

"The Tatars are very strong at present. I am not their opponent yet. Even if I expand the army to 4000 people, I can only adopt a defensive posture. They have at least [-] grassland cavalry, and their strength is still very strong."

Regarding this point, Jia Min is not alarmist, the Tatars are indeed very powerful.He himself also believes that it is indeed not the opponent of the Tatars at present.

"Didn't you easily defeat the 700 cavalry of the four tribes with [-] men?"

Wang Ziteng looked at Jia Min with a smile.

I said uncle, who told you that I easily defeated [-] prairie cavalry?Do you know how much painstaking effort I have spent?How much preparation have you made in secret?
"Uncle, we are relatives. Others may misunderstand this, but I don't want Uncle to misunderstand this. Therefore, I must tell Uncle the truth, I definitely did not easily defeat the grassland cavalry."

"Although the prairie cavalry are not as strong as invincible as in the legend, their strength is indeed not to be underestimated."

So, Jia Min told Wang Ziteng how he prepared for this war and the details of the war process.

If it were someone else, he wouldn't need to go into such detail.However, since it was Wang Ziteng, Jia Min explained in detail.

Wang Ziteng asked his opinion on the situation in North Wendura, which made Jia Min realize that this may not be a random question, but a purposeful one.

He didn't want Wang Ziteng to have any misunderstandings here, or to be precise, he didn't want Wang Ziteng to have a tendency to underestimate the Tatars.

"Okay, Brother Ming, let's go back first, I won't leave these few days, I'll talk about it later."

Said, Wang Ziteng picked up the teacup.

"Uncle is tired all the way, so let's take a rest earlier, and my nephew will say goodbye."

Jia Min backed out, and Master Jiang came out from behind the screen.

"What do you think of this kid?"

Wang Ziteng asked,
Master Jiang has been with him for more than 20 years, and Wang Ziteng has always trusted him very much.

"This son is thoughtful, his words are clear and analytical, he always has novel and bold plans, and he does things down-to-earth. He is really a rare talent. Congratulations for having this descendant."

"He's a bit clever, but he's also a rebellious and sharp-edged person, and he needs to be tempered in the future."

Even so, Wang Ziteng had a look of appreciation on his face.

"It's not surprising that when he first arrived in Jia's mansion, he had some conflicts with them. After he has some experience in the future, he will become more sophisticated and tactful. Anyway, he is also Shiweng's nephew, and he is closer than others."

"Shiweng don't blame me for speaking bluntly, among the descendants of Shiweng's four families, this son is the best."

Mr. Jiang's words at least show that he has a good understanding of Jia Min's previous affairs in Jia's mansion.

"This son does have some skills. His fame and his current status and achievements are all earned by himself. Only this point is beyond comparison."

"Some people say that he got what he is today because of my help. In fact, you know that none of this has anything to do with me."

"Yes, others don't know it, but I know it. It's really rare to see such an achievement at such a young age."

"I'm afraid it's a sharp-edged tree that attracts the wind."

"It's no wonder that when Shi Weng was young, he was also full of vigor and suffered repeated setbacks?"

"Forget it, let's not mention this matter. What do you think of the North Wendura matter?"

"I think what Jia Min said makes sense, don't talk lightly."

"I'm afraid that people in the court don't see it that way. Now, the talk of war against North Wendura is rampant. It seems that the Holy One is also tempted. Otherwise, why would you ask me to come here?"

"This matter needs to be carefully considered by Shi Weng."

"Forget it, let's talk about it after I stay here for a few days."

The next day, Jia Min sent a platoon of soldiers to escort Prince Teng to various places.Jia Min didn't care about sending the soldiers out, and let Wang Ziteng do his own thing.He didn't care where he was or what he was doing.

Wang Ziteng also asked the officials of the Fubingtuan and Yamen for questioning, but since the conversation that night, he never asked Jia Min again.

Jia Min was also happy to be at leisure, and came to Wang Ziteng's place every morning to pay his respects. After doing all the courtesy of a junior, he went.As for official business, I will not mention it again.

He also understands that it is not easy for a person like Wang Ziteng to climb to such a high position today.

What decisions they want to make must be the result of their foresight and afterthought, and they cannot be controlled by themselves.

I have told him everything I should say, and I have fulfilled my duty.

Now it's different from when I was in Jia's mansion.At that time, what matters can be decided by oneself, or can be forcibly decided by oneself.

However, now that he is a member of the officialdom, although he can speak his mind in Bukui, he is still a small person in the court.Many things are beyond their control.

On the evening of the seventh day of November, Wang Ziteng called Jia Min to the posthouse.

"Tomorrow, I'm going back to the imperial capital. I'm sure you can guess a little bit about my intentions for coming here. Now let me ask you again, what do you think of the war in North Wendu? "

"I am firmly opposed to starting a war. If you start a war at this time, you will definitely lose. If my uncle came here just for this matter, I would also advise my uncle not to think about starting a war."

"Do you know what people in the court think of it now?"

"I won the battle of South Vendura, which is just a special case. There are many accidental factors. There is also a touch of luck. The Tatars are stronger than the four tribes. It is not easy to defeat them Uncle, please be careful."

"To be honest with my uncle, my military intelligence personnel are still spying on the Tatars. This matter has been going on for a long time, and I still know the situation there. You and I are uncle and nephew. No matter what uncle thinks of me, we You must be responsible for your uncle. At least you must provide your uncle with a true opinion, so as not to make a misjudgment."

"If you have to go to war, who do you think is appropriate to preside over the overall situation?"

"I, however, also have to have two prerequisites."

"you?"

Wang Ziteng stared at Jia Min.

"Yes, it's me!"

Jia Min also stared at Wang Ziteng.
