Ryukyu Island, Takayama Palace.
Wang Muzhi arrived with a group of reserve officials from Qiongzhou. These people were all young historians selected by Wang Muzhi from Qiongzhou.
Qin Yun had already greeted them before coming to Ryukyu.
The fight against Ryukyu is not to vent one's anger or passion, but to utilize Ryukyu's resources for one's own use.
Although Ryukyu was devastated after the Japanese continued to deplete the land for fishing for many years, there are some things that cannot be moved away, namely mountain ores, fishing timber, and farmland.
When the Fuso people came, they killed half of the people on Ryukyu Island, especially the young adults. Now that the Fuso people have withdrawn, they have left behind large tracts of land and properties.
After a period of statistical summary, Wang Mu came forward to report.
"Your Majesty, there are currently 600,000 people in Ryukyu Island, but most of them are old and weak, and there are very few people who can be recruited."
"However, there are a lot of timber and mineral resources. After our preliminary survey, we found that there are two coal mines that are easy to mine."
"There are also a lot of ironwood forests that can be used to make big ships. When the Japanese evacuated, there was still a lot of wood and ship foundations that had not been transported away."
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Leave everything to the Ministry of Industry. I want to see an invincible fleet in the shortest possible time."
"promise!"
"Your Majesty, according to your instructions, we have discussed that Ryukyu will be a county first and will be under the jurisdiction of Qiongzhou. Currently, there are Gaoshan Prefecture, Pengdao Prefecture, and Kinmen Prefecture, with nine counties under its jurisdiction."
"These are the magistrates and county magistrates selected by the ministers. I would like to ask the prince to take a look."
Qin Yun glanced at everyone. According to the requirements, the magistrates were appointed to be in their prime. These were old officials with certain experience, while the county magistrates who were responsible for specific tasks chose young people.
Three of them are descendants of aristocratic families in western Sichuan, one each from the Liu family, the Yun family, and the Bai family.
There are also some children of the Ji family. Among them, the one who serves as the magistrate of Peng Mansion is still Ji Qing's nephew Ji Wuming.
The prefect of Kinmen Mansion is Bai Feiyang's distant cousin.
As for Qin Yun, the prefect of Gaoshan Prefecture, he decided to use local people. Of course, he was also a member of the thieves.
This arrangement has almost included all the forces under his command.
After all, others would tuck their heads in their belts and follow Qin Yun to conquer the world. Those who deserve titles and rewards must not be stingy.
Qin Yun warned: "You are all talented people from Qiongzhou. When you come to serve as officials, you must remember that the first thing is to be selfless for the public, and the second thing is to be considerate of the people. I do not ask you to pay many taxes every year. You only have one." The goal is to help the people of Ryukyu resume production, recuperate, and open up new fields."
"Still according to the rules of Qiongzhou, when new fields are developed, 70% will be turned over to the government and 30% will be kept for ourselves. The land reserved for ourselves cannot be bought or sold privately. If you want to trade it, you can sell it to the government."
"We will obey the king's order!"
Qin Yun nodded: "Go ahead and take office. I hope to see Ryukyu flourishing in three years."
"promise!"
The officials bowed and retreated, and Qin Yun waved again.
"Yang Yong!"
"The humble position is here."
Qin Yun: "What's the situation in Yue State now?"
Yang Yong cupped his hands and said: "Back to my lord, the Yue Kingdom has lost most of its city. Fortunately, the weapons production line supported by Qiongzhou has started production. With the help of firearms, the situation has been stabilized. However, artillery has also appeared one after another in the Wu Kingdom."
Qin Yun's heart sank. The emergence of gunpowder had indeed changed the world's structure.
After all, it is not difficult to reproduce this thing. Mononitrate, disulfide, and charcoal. The ancients were not fools. If it really doesn’t work, find a few guys who practice elixirs, or find a few old doctors who risk their lives to taste more. Can find the recipe.
At present, the only thing Qiongzhou still leads is the rifle, as well as the craftsmanship and range of the cast iron artillery.
But the problem is that Qiongzhou's productivity is limited, and Ryukyu has to prevent Fuso's counterattack, so the artillery that can support it is very little.
Qin Yun pondered for a moment and asked: "How are you doing after Lan Tian and others join the battle?"
"Hui Wangye, we have stopped the decline so far, but if we want to counterattack, I'm afraid we have to wait until next spring."
Qin Yun nodded: "Then wait, time is on our side. Once Ryukyu's resources are digested, it will only be a matter of time to destroy Wu. Tell the King of Yue that I will never let her down!"
Yang Yong nodded: "By the way, the prince discovered something interesting in the intelligence network of Wu State."
"whats the matter?"
Yang Yong muttered: "The remnants of the Liansheng Cult have appeared in Wu Kingdom."
Qin Yun narrowed his eyes slightly: "Lianshengjiao is really an invincible Xiaoqiang. Have you found out their relationship with Qin Zheng?"
Yang Yong shook his head: "What is certain at present is that the Liansheng Cult is involved in all the major families, and even..."
"Even what?"
Yang Yong paused for a moment: "It's even possible that the Liansheng Cult was created by major aristocratic families to tolerate adultery."
Qin Yun sneered: "If you didn't tell me, I would have expected it. These powerful families have monopolized all the upper-level resources in Daxia, and countless people rely on them for their livelihood."
Wang Muzhi on the side sighed: "Yes, it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son, and everyone under the eyes is an ant."
Qin Yun smiled and said: "You don't know that ants are the most tenacious things in the world."
Yang Yong on the side said puzzledly: "Didn't the prince uproot the Yuan family?"
"The rest can be easily solved by the prince's intervention."
Qin Yun laughed loudly: "You think of things too simply. What you see is that the Yuan family is a powerful force in every state, but what you can't see is that there are hundreds of thousands and hundreds of people who are attached to the Yuan family. Thousands of people."
"It's like a towering tree. We just cut off the top tips."
"The top of the tree is gone, but as long as the roots and trunk are there, it will eventually grow back, over and over again. This is the law of history and the law of dynasty changes!"
Wang Muzhi's heart sank. He didn't expect that his prince could see it so clearly. He originally thought that his prince was just a man who was fierce in fighting and decisive in killing.
But now it seems that the countless gaps in this prince's heart are really elusive to him.
Qin Yun glanced over, and Wang Mu subconsciously lowered his head.
Qin Yun smiled: "Okay, no need to think too much about these theoretical things. There is actually only one thing we have to do now!"
Everyone listened attentively.
Qin Yundao said: "The general trend lies with the people. As long as the people can live and work in peace and contentment, with fields to cultivate and clothes to wear, small businessmen and hawkers can make money, the poor have channels for advancement, and the rich dare not act recklessly and trample on the king's laws, let There is fairness in the world, and that is enough!"
"Come, read after me, our goal is..."
The ministers paused, but still followed Qin Yun.
"Our goal is..."
The ministers looked at Qin Yun.
"Everyone appreciates his own beauty, the beauty of others, the beauty is shared, and the world is united!"
Wang Muzhi's eyes lit up, and the other ministers also started chanting, but then they either pondered or shook their heads. Only Yang Yong, Chen Jin and others scratched their heads and scratched their heads.
What the hell is this?
Yang Yong's eyes suddenly lit up, yes, she is a beauty!
He heard that the Ninth Princess Fuso, the new princess of Qinshan, was taken back by the Tokugawa family.
According to the custom of the prince choosing a beautiful woman from place to place, the prince conquered Ryukyu but failed to bring the beauty back.
At this time, Qin Yun asked with a smile: "Everyone, do you understand?"
Yang Yong raised his head and said: "I understand, Beizhi, let's do it now!"
Qin Yun said happily: "You can teach me!"
The ministers also looked at the leader of the Jinyi Guard who was the first to follow Qin Yun, and they all cast envious looks. He was worthy of being someone close to the prince. He actually understood such an obscure and difficult concept at once, and he immediately understood it. We must practice it, high, true is high!
However, the next day, during the morning meeting, Yang Yong excitedly held a picture scroll and said that he wanted to draft a girl from Ryukyu for the prince.
Qin Yun was furious.
"Come here, pull me out here. I'll hit fifty big boards again. I'm an ignorant and incompetent person. Is this the kind of person I am?"
Yang Yong said aggrievedly: "My lord, didn't you say you wanted a beauty?"
Qin Yun laughed angrily at him: "You bastard!"
The ministers laughed along with him.
Yang Yong was still puzzled. He just thought that he had failed to complete the important task of inciting his father to rebel. It seemed that he would have to continue to suffer miserably.
He wrote a letter when he got back.
"Dad, my son is in danger, come here quickly!"
