Chapter 140: Split the soil and seal the territory and become the king

Du Heng was granted the title of king and his fief was Hengzhou.

In today's era, the "fair king" who was actually granted a title is to actually control a "kingdom".

Hengzhou is located in the south of Daqi, bordering 100,000 mountains and not far from the border of the country. It is considered a remote and wild place, and is naturally far from the prosperous mainland prefectures.

But... this is a state with a radius of thousands of miles and a population of tens of millions.

If Du Heng did not intend to go to Hengzhou to take charge of the fief, the fiefdom affairs would still be managed by officials stationed in the court, but... all taxes and properties in Hengzhou were all Du Heng's.

"Prince, the Ministry of Revenue has sent someone to deliver the documents!"

The eunuch Liu Jing, the chief eunuch, picked up a stack of documents and sent them to Du Heng's study. "This is a map of the five prefectures and 62 counties in Hengzhou, population and household registration, and production materials from all over the country."

"Yeah, let it go!"

Du Heng nodded and continued to look at the Hengzhou officials' list and salary and benefits sent by the Ministry of Personnel.

Du Heng will pay the "salaries" of these Hengzhou officials in the future!

After seeing the "salary" in the Ministry of Personnel's document, Du Heng realized that the salary standards of "two thousand stones" and "one thousand stones" of officials' salaries are really just food.

However, these foods are not ordinary food, but spiritual rice, and they are also "yellow spirit rice" used for official duties.

"After a year, I can send out more than one million stone spiritual rice?"

Du Heng took a breath of air conditioning, "As King Heng, I... won't lose money, right?"

"Your Highness is joking!"

The eunuch Liu Jing, the chief eunuch, said with a smile: "The official spiritual field in Hengzhou has at least five million stone spiritual rice harvests in a year. How could Your Highness lose money?"

Speaking of this, Liu Jing handed over another document, "In addition, your expenses are not just the salaries of officials! This is the document transferred from the Ministry of War."

"Ministry of War?"

Du Heng frowned, took the document, opened it and took a look...

"War in Hengzhou? Are you fighting? Please mobilize 300,000 stones of spirits, 10,000 sets of soldiers and armor, 5,000 war horses, and a number of supplies..."

Du Heng rubbed his eyes, "Hengzhou Governor, who is fighting with?"

"The mountains and barbarians among the 100,000 mountains."

Eunuch Liu quickly explained, "Hengzhou is on the verge of 100,000 mountains. In order to avoid being attacked by the barbarians of the mountains and rivers, they will have to clean up theirs in a few years."

To avoid being attacked?

In other words, I suspect you might come to beat me, so... I will deal with you first!

Du Heng smiled, this one can be there.

But... Du Heng looked at the Ministry of War's "request for military funds to be allocated" and his lips trembled a few more times, "Eunuch Liu, is this military expenditure also borne by the Heng Palace?"

"Yes!"

Eunuch Liu nodded, "This is a military operation organized by Hengzhou itself. It must be you, King Heng, who will bear the military expenses."

I'll go! I always think this "King Heng" is a big pit!

Du Heng rubbed his eyebrows, "How much does it cost to continue this battle? Forget it, allocate military supplies! Eunuch Liu, where to purchase these military supplies? Send them to the Hengzhou garrison as soon as possible."

"Your Highness, we don't need to purchase military supplies."

Eunuch Liu smiled and said, "The Ministry of War sending this document is actually equivalent to sending you a bill. If you agree, the military supplies will be sent directly from the Ministry of War to Hengzhou."

"Is that true?"

Du Heng nodded, "Okay, let's do it according to the previous convention!"

It's the first time I'm a prince, I'm not familiar with my business!

"yes!"

Eunuch Liu bowed to accept the order, "I will go and arrange it now."

"etc!"

Du Heng rubbed his eyebrows and said to Eunuch Liu: "Call Zhang Fugui over!"

"yes!"

Eunuch Liu took the order and left.

A moment later, Zhang Fugui, the original "sales office manager and property management" of Changuiyuan, ran in happily.

"Greetings to Your Highness Heng!"

Zhang Fugui bowed to Du Heng, "I don't know what orders should I give to you?"

"Zhang Fugui, do you want to be an official?"

Du Heng looked at Zhang Fugui with a smile.

"Your Highness...I won't be a eunuch!"

Seeing Du Heng's strange smile, Zhang Fugui trembled all over.

"Who wants you to be a eunuch?"

Du Heng smiled and shook his head, "I appointed you as Cao Zhan, a member of the Hengwang Mansion, and sent you to Hengzhou to take charge. Do nothing else. I will keep an eye on the income and expenditure accounts of the Hengzhou governments."

"House Cao Zhanshi? One thousand stone official?"

Zhang Fugui was full of joy and bowed quickly, "I received the order to thank you! Haha, no one in my Zhang family has ever been such a big official!"

"Okay, okay!"

Du Heng waved his hand at Zhang Fugui, "After receiving the official uniform seal, you can set off directly to Hengzhou and stare at Hengzhou's accounts for me. Don't let me greed for my money!"

"Yes! I will definitely take charge of Hengzhou household accounts for the prince!"

Zhang Fugui bowed to accept the order, said goodbye and left.

Du Heng threw away all kinds of political documents in Hengzhou, "I don't bother to care about these broken things. I just focus on the accounts and collect money. All other things are left to the court officials."

The Hengzhou fiefdom... is too far apart!

If you have the opportunity to go to Hengzhou in the future, and then play the "farming game" again, and now you won't care about this for now.

The trivial matters to be dealt with have been dealt with now.

Hengzhou doesn’t care about specific matters first, just send Zhang Fugui to manage the accounts. The originally planned contraction force and selling the industry is no longer needed.

Without King Kang, isn’t there still King Heng? I’m not afraid of anyone making any decisions!

Putting aside these trivial matters, what Du Heng has to do next is what Master Qiu said about "fighting the Imperial College" and the other is to study "the strongest physique".

As a member of Jixia Academy, fighting against the Imperial College is politically correct, and this is an unswerving position!

Of course, the Imperial College also thinks so!

The day after tomorrow, the new generation of "branches of the country" in the Imperial College will come to Jixia Academy to communicate and learn from the new generation of "proud sons of heaven" in Jixia Academy.

To put it bluntly, it’s just a fight!

Fighting runes, fighting spells, fighting swordsmanship, fighting body refining, fighting formation, fighting alchemy, fighting weaving, fighting beast control... all kinds of competitions, all kinds of dry fights.

In front of countless people, let’s see if he is the “branch of the country” or the “pride of heaven” is awesome.

Du Heng naturally had to participate in this battle.

You said you have been named king? Many royal children and even emperors have studied in Jixia Academy!

When studying, his identity is a scholar, and his academic exchanges have nothing to do with what "king" it is.

If you lose during the competition, even if you are a noble man, there will definitely be countless people scolding you.

If you win during the competition, even if you are a poor family, there will definitely be countless people cheering.
