Chapter 44: The territory has been expanded to enrich the country, and the military army has temporarily suspended for peace

Beliaowei originally wanted to defect to the Grand Duchy of Kiev, but was chased by Zhao Jin and did not dare to take the road to the west. Instead, he fled to the south, so he went to the Principality of Rostov and asked Constantine, Grand Duke of Rostov for help. Grand Duke Constantine sent Count Ubilyuchka as commander to compete with the Han army for the Hexi territory originally belonging to the Duchy of Mogilio. However, the Han army has retreated and taken away all the supplies and people that can be taken away.

Grand Duke Constantine supported Liao Zuowei as the new monarch and gave more than 1,000 serfs to Liao Zuowei. At the same time, he helped Liao Zuowei recover the Hexi territory and ceded half of the Hexi territory to his country.

Biao Zuowei gathered Mojilio's fled army and civilians, and received a total of 10,000 to 20,000 people to rebuild Mojilio. Because the new country has a small territory and few people, it dares not be called a duchy and reduced to a marquis. Since then, the Marquis of Mogilio has become a vassal of the Duchy of Rostov.

The Principality of Rostov is the southernmost country among the East Slavic countries. Its geographical conditions are superior to other countries. Its territory is centered on the Don and Donetsk River basins suitable for farming, and occupies the coastal area of the Sea of Azov suitable for grazing. This Principality of Rostov is not only relatively developed in agriculture, animal husbandry and fisheries, but also has rich mineral resources. It is unique and rich among the Eastern countries! In later generations, the Don River Basin belongs to Russia and has always been an important grain-producing area in Russia; the Donets River basin belongs to Ukraine and has become a world-famous "Donbas" industrial zone with its rich minerals and dense urban agglomerations.

The Principality of Rostov is quite powerful and the army is well equipped. Yan Han has known before. Zhao Jin did not intend to fight war with such a country for the time being, so he voluntarily gave up Hexi. After returning to Hedong, Zhao Jin sent troops to defend the Volga River and used the river as a barrier to confront Rostov, Bensa, Sara and other Dongsi countries.

At this time, the total population of Yanhan is estimated to be about 1.4 million, which is beginning to have strength. The safety of the capital is initially guaranteed by the Cangling in the east and the Fuhe River in the west. Then, the next step is to vigorously develop the economy.

In order to survive and develop, first, Yanhan must build a strong army, which requires military expenditure and materials, which cannot be done without economic backing; second, it requires better living conditions to stabilize the hearts of the people and attract immigrants, which also requires materials, and taxes cannot be too high.

Then, with the wealth accumulated in Seoul, it can only sustain the country and the army for a period of time. After that, the only way to maintain the national munition under the condition of low taxes is to improve productivity and open up financial resources.

How to improve productivity and open up financial resources? Zhao Jin has been thinking about it since the uprising, and he has never forgotten to develop his national strength even in the most tense battle. Now that the war has come to an end, the Yanhan regime is about to officially establish a country, and more measures to enrich the country and security are about to be implemented.

First of all, the administrative region should be demarcated. Zhao Jin decided to divide the territory controlled by the rebels into four areas: Kinki, Beidi, Wudong and Fudong, set up a government, 12 prefectures, and counties under the state.

Kinki region, that is, the area of Anhan, including the capital Anhan Prefecture, Zanzhou and Zezhou. It has jurisdiction over five counties and currently has a population of more than 400,000.

Northern regions, including Ouzhou and Yezhou. Because of the vast territory, there are 27 counties with a population of nearly 400,000.

The Wudong region, that is, the area east of the Ural River, set up Cangzhou behind the Cangling Pass, and the fortress city of Muzhou in the Mugogaru Mountains northeast of Cangling. Due to its small population, this area will not have a county seat for the time being, and there are about 50,000 to 60,000 herdsmen in Wudong.

The Fudong area, that is, the area east of the Volga River, takes Lianye Sheyi City as Lianzhou and Taliangbu City as Tazhou. From north to south, there are also Mingzhou, Liuzhou, Yizhou and Gezhou, a total of six states. It has jurisdiction over 22 counties with a population of more than 500,000.

In view of the current situation, each state implements the integration of military and politics, and each state appoints a governor, who is responsible for both guarding and the people. The officials of the Zhenfu are called "gong Cao", ranging from two to four people. Each county appoints a county magistrate, who is responsible for governing the county administration and leading the county's militia. The official of the county magistrate is called the "main book", ranging from one to three people.

Among the states in the country, Cangzhou guard Haidu Khanate, Zanzhou guard Illi Khanate, Lianzhou guard Rostov Principality, Mingzhou guard Sara Principality, border defense is the most important, so it must be appeased by a powerful general.

So in November of this year, the Yanhan Kingdom was officially established, and Zhao Jin's title changed from general to king and was promoted to generals. Senior generals are awarded the title of general, and in addition to the general number, they often get a national official title. The partial generals who are not qualified to build the number also have their own official titles, and Yan Han's military officer system has been determined since then.

The name of General Li Dazuo remains unchanged, and the official Sima is added.

The name of General He Anping remains unchanged, and the official Situ is added.

The name of the right general of Wuda remains unchanged, and he is the governor of the south of the town and the governor of Zanzhou.

Zheng Tongfu is a partial general and leads the garrison.

Li Huazhen is also a partial general and leads the captain of the Beijing camp.

In troubled times, at the beginning of the founding of the country, it was inevitable to attach importance to martial arts and light literature. Among the civilian officials of the Yanhan Kingdom, there are only a few with high status for the time being:

Skou Zhang Han.

Taicang ordered Liu Shide.

Sannon Yumo.

Zheng Wenchu.

Since the kingdom has been established, the year should be determined according to the rules of the Oriental people. Zhao Jin and Wenwu discussed several times and finally decided on the word "Xuanhuang". The allusion comes from the Book of Changes: "The dragon fights in the wild, and its blood is mysterious." Yan Han started the country thousands of miles away, and it was the dragon fighting in the wild! The year "Xuanhuang" symbolizes the unity and struggle of the descendants of the dragon, not afraid to throw their heads and shed blood, and fight for the establishment of a strong nation!

The previous temporary year number of "Xiangxing" will be terminated after the official year number is available. This year was originally called "Three Years of Xiangxing", but now it has been renamed "the first year of Xuanhuang". Next year, it will start from the second year of Xuanhuang. The Song Dynasty was destroyed in February of the second year of Xiangxing (1279). Zhao Jin revolted in September, and now it is November of the first year of Yanhuang (1280). After more than a year of territorial expansion and the establishment of the Yanhan Kingdom.

It is not only called the king, but also set up some concubines. After consideration, Zhao Jin decided to appoint the following concubines:

Huifei Liu Huiniang.

Waifei Weiyi.

...Are these two? Well, let's do this for the time being. Hui Niang is equivalent to "bad chaff" and can't be thrown away no matter how developed it is; Naviuyi's concubine is to strengthen the centrifusis of the northern people and show her kindness as a king.

What do you say? Just like Muhammad married nine wives, but only one virgin, the other eight are widows, and most of them are widows of his comrades-in-arms. According to the Hadith, Muhammad married the virgin Oish, with a bride price of 500 silver coins; he married the widow, Wim Habibai, but the bride price was as high as 4,000 silver coins. This is not only about marrying a wife, but also about raising the widows and descendants of his comrades-in-arms, which is an aspect that Muhammad is widely praised by the Arabs.

Hui Niang and Viuyi are both women who have experienced many hardships and are infertile, but Zhao Jin does not dislike them and makes them concubines. Why don't the soldiers and civilians of Yan Han feel that the king is broad and kind! In particular, the soldiers and civilians of all ethnic groups in the north were delighted because the young girl in the north became a princess and felt that the Yanhan Kingdom was their own country.

At present, there are four ethnic groups in Yanhan: Huaxia ethnic group, Northern ethnic group, Dongsi ethnic group and Central Asian ethnic group. So, should we also establish a concubine of the Dongsi nation and a concubine of the Central Asian nation? Zhao Jin has also considered this problem, but there is no suitable candidate, so he put it aside for the time being.

As for the important heirs of being the monarch of a country... Zhao Jin was quite confused at this time! It turns out that Zhao Jin has been busy for a year since he decided to spend money. Although he has been busy with the expedition for most of his time, he has not been able to engage in women... But at least he has taken time to make a lot of women! How come their stomachs... didn't move at all!

Is it possible that the king himself is not?! Zhao Jin was shocked in his heart and wanted to find out, but there were no instruments and equipment of modern hospitals in ancient times. How to check it? If you say it, the subjects must be frightened, so they can't be leaked!

Trouble! It's nerve-racking!

...Forget it, you can only take one step at a time. Hide this problem for the time being and slowly find a way to solve it.

From then on, Zhao Jin secretly worked hard, such as deliberately looking for some women who had given birth to children to see if they could have children again; and quietly looking for some prescriptions for children and grandchildren! Whether it can be done or not will take time to verify...

As for the matter of Xiangzhi... When he came back from chasing Mojiliao's remnant army, Zhao Jin's maids Valen Jingna and Damala presented the blood book written by Xiangzhi and couldn't help but be moved. At this time, Xiao Qian looked at another blood book next to him and was stunned. After a long time, Zhao Yu said, "Xiao Qian, such a thing happened. Are you going to divorce my sister?"

Xiao Yu was shocked and said, "The last general dare not!" Hurry down on your knees.

Zhao Yu said, "It's not a question of daring! You might as well tell me what you really think. If you want to rest, it won't affect our brotherly relationship.

Xiao Yu said resolutely, "The last general is unwilling to divorce his wife."

Zhao Jin nodded. So it was colorful and sent back to my sister to match Xiao. The generals came to celebrate, as if they were getting married for the second time.

Zhao Jin said to Xiangzhi in private, "Sister, Xiao Yu is indeed an open-minded general. Don't worry! If he dares to bully you in the future, I will help you beat him!"

Xiangzhi couldn't help smiling and bowing to Zhao Yingying: "Thank you, brother." Because of the care of her husband, Hui Niang, sisters, and her husband's comfort and love, she has been reborn since then. She is still cheerful, stronger and more virtuous, and works hard to assist her husband to make contributions. Xiangzhi also took Valenkinna and Damaraduna as Xiao's concubines and formed a warm and harmonious family with them. So, what else is Xiao Yu dissatisfied with? He felt happy and happy, and from now on, he will be more loyal to serving his father-in-law.

After Zhao Jin became king, Chu, Xiangzhi, Jinyuan, Yuluan, Xing'er and Ping'er were all princesses. Jumping from a lowly little woman to a noble princess, this is really a godsend, like a dream! Li Tu, Xiao Yu, Wu Da and Qi Jin became the son-in-law accordingly, loyal and energetic!
