After all, he was also a civil servant who had won the Jinshi. Although he was in a military town and acted very vigorously and resolutely, civil servants still had some courtesy, so he followed Sheng Changbai's words.

"Then let me tell you something."

This time Sheng Changbai took it seriously and didn't want to wait until the two of them got to know each other after a while.

Time is quite precious and should not be wasted.

"The first point is that the road from Bianliang to Qinzhou is difficult, the transportation of grain is not easy, and the losses are huge. Qinzhou still needs to develop its own potential. Now there is a kind of improved variety in Bianliang, which is quite suitable for planting in our Qinzhou area. After some time,

, the improved seeds will be sent to you, and I still need Ming Gong’s help for promotion.”

The first thing is to promote potatoes, as there are many rivers in Qinzhou.

The land is actually considered fertile, making it a suitable situation for planting.

However, because the territory is crisscrossed with mountains and hills, many terrains are mountains and hills.

Even if the land is good, the conditions for planting are not that good.

In addition, there are many troops stationed in Qinzhou, and the people eat horses and chew them, which consumes a lot of money.

In the case of insufficient local food supply, there is still a need to promote high-yielding crops such as potatoes.

"If improved seeds are really effective, I will definitely support it." Wang Zhizhou replied.

"The second thing is that I have some ideas about the foreigners who come to Qinzhou to trade. In addition to wanting to trade more horses for Dazhou, I also hope to conquer these people and use them for Dazhou."

The second is to recruit some soldiers to serve as mercenaries for the Zhou Dynasty.

After all, these people are also nomadic people and grew up on horseback.

The difference with Xixia soldiers actually lies in weapons and equipment.

Although the current smelting technology of Dazhou is still inferior to that of Xixia.

Even the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty was proud to obtain a sword produced in Xixia.

But aside from that, the gap between Dazhou's smelting technology and Xixia's is not too big.

Even though the gap is huge, Sheng Changbai is confident that he can catch up with this gap by climbing up the technology tree.

We didn't do it before because Dazhou has been busy with internal fighting.

There is no pioneering spirit at all, but the smelting technology has been improved.

Sharp weapons may only cause more casualties in the Zhou Dynasty, which is completely unnecessary.

But the situation now is completely different. The new emperor has great ambitions and wants to surpass the achievements of his ancestors and rival the Han Dynasty.

To prove that one of his own lineage is capable and qualified enough to inherit the throne.

If he is determined and capable, Sheng Changbai can help him by climbing up the weapon technology tree.

There is no need to pursue too high quality, the quality of smelted steel exceeds that of Xixia.

Improve the basic gunpowder ratio and improve Zhou's cannon-building technology.

It is enough to be able to pry open the city walls of Liao Kingdom with the power of artillery.

After listening to Sheng Changbai's words, Wang Zhizhou first felt a little happy, and then felt a little sad:

"Yushi Sheng, you have a good idea, but you don't know that the situation in Qinzhou is a bit complicated. After all, this is a border state, and the situation is different from other state capitals. I, the governor, can't do everything in the state."

The word is settled. Our superiors and subordinates in Qinzhou have always had two attitudes towards Fanbang."

"Then I wonder who in Qinzhou has a different attitude?"

Wang Zhizhou's attitude was still very obvious, and he was willing to conquer other countries, and Sheng Changbai could clearly see it.

"Some generals, led by General Xiang, the deputy commander of the army and horses, believe that the foreign country does not know how to be a king, does not accept education, fears power rather than virtue, and there is no need to recruit them. If they want to subdue them, they can just kill them."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The deputy commander of the army and horses is the deputy to the commander of the army and horses along the way, and is the second person in the military on Qinfeng Road where Qinzhou is located.

It is only stationed in Qinzhou, but it is not completely under the control of Qinzhou.

It is also because of this that in a situation like the Zhou Dynasty where the nobles were noble and the military was humble, the deputy governor could compete with the prefect of a prefecture for some say.

Of course, it is true that he holds real power and has tens of thousands of troops under his command, which gives him the confidence to fight for the deputy capital.

If he is really a short-term general, he is several levels higher.

It is impossible for military commanders to dare to talk to civilian officials.

"A proud and powerful general, if the sergeants in his hands are elite enough, the general will naturally be a lot more unruly." Sheng Changbai couldn't say what he thought of the Western Army.

When he didn't understand the situation, Sheng Changbai had a lot of sympathy for the Western Army, but after understanding it, Sheng Changbai also felt that there was a reason for the Western Army's current situation.

Although the Western Army is somewhat pitiful, it receives much worse treatment than the Forbidden Army and does more dangerous things than the Forbidden Army.

According to Sheng Changbai's understanding, soldiers in the Western Army actually had no salary.

The imperial court only gave the northwest the right to summon local braves to fight the enemy and to establish military camps.

The northwest provides its local warriors with a subsidy of two hectares of land for each archer, and those with horses can receive an additional 50 acres of land.

But as soon as he arrived in the northwest, Sheng Changbai clearly realized the reason why the imperial court treated the Western Army poorly.

As a local army, the Western Army was far less obedient to the imperial court than the Central Forbidden Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

For the emperor, the Western Army was not his direct descendant at all.

They are not as obedient to their commands as the Forbidden Army, and of course they will not receive such good treatment.

"When I have free time, I will convince Xiang Duguan."
