Chapter 841: Boiled Frogs in Warm Water
"Liu Zhang's matter is just a trivial matter, I'll just let Jing Wusi keep an eye on it when I go back, you don't care, don't tell me, during this time in your south study, just stare at a yellow-mouthed child, don't do anything else?"
Mu Jing is not very concerned about Liu Zhang's affairs, after all, Liu Zhang is not Liu Yan, and they are not opponents at the same level.
He dared to elevate Liu Zhang to the top.
The biggest reason is that Liu Zhang is not a big threat to himself.
If Liu Zhang can turn the tables and seize power under his nose, then his world-sweeping dragon map is useless to live, and he will die directly.
So listening to Hu Zhao's nagging about this, he was in a little unhappy, raised his head slightly, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, looked at Hu Zhao, and asked, "Are you idle and a little panicked?" ”
"Zhao is not stupid!"
Hu Zhao pouted: "If it's Liu Yan, I still have three points of mind, just one Liu Zhang, and I can still put all my attention on him, the Minghou Mansion is just inspecting the officials during this time, and it's already too busy, staring at him is just piggybacking, after all, he also recruited some officials, I have to see if these people can be used!" ”
"Inspectors? Then report back and let me know! ”
When Mu Jing heard this, he pinched the wrinkles on his forehead with his fingers, he felt that he was only in his twenties and had wrinkles, people were really old, he couldn't help but sigh, and said: "I don't know if there is time to inspect this year, you let me have a preparation in my heart first!" ”
This Yizhou is new, it is the alternation of old and new powers, the place is bound to be disordered, he wants to personally inspect it, it will definitely be able to appease the people, but now it may not be able to go away, first of all, the army will not be able to let go.
"At present, in Yizhou, Ba County is the most stable!"
Hu Zhao began to report: "When Ba County encountered Gan Ning as a giant before, he cleaned it up once, and many officials suffered, and after Xi Zhi was stationed, he also took the opportunity to pull out a group of people, and when we came in, Ba County's power was in a vacuum, and it was just enough to quickly replenish his own people!" ”
"How is Ye Ru doing?"
Mu Jing personally put Ye Ru down from Hanzhong, just optimistic about him, thinking that he could control Ba Jun, but what the result was, he didn't dare to pack the ticket.
"Ye Mingsheng's ability can be said to be good, after he took office as the Taishou of Ba County, he acted vigorously and resolutely, first transferred a group of descendants from the Taishou Mansion in Hanzhong, and after having the support of the Taishou family, he began to inspect the situation of the county officials in each county, and before we were strong, our army was still stationed in Ba County, and it was a coincidence, just when you held a military conference, whether it was the pastoral army or the Yizhou army, the generals were here, he borrowed this momentum, and the action was so fast, I was a little impressed!"
Hu Zhao said: "With a little more training, this person can enter the South Study and assist Liu Jin in handling government affairs!" ”
"You're so optimistic about him?"
"It's a capable person, but he hasn't been able to meet the stage where he can play, in the past, in Hanzhong, maybe because of the kid of the Su family, he was a little restrained in doing things, but in Ba County, he let go of his hands and feet!"
Hu Zhao thought for a while, and said softly: "Actually, we people, dealing with government affairs, are all inexperienced, and some old people, there is still a bit of a gap, whether it is me, Liu Jin, Xi Zhicai, if it is not lucky, I have to meet the master, I can't be in a high position at this age, the more so, I feel that our Minghou Mansion needs some veterans to sit in charge!" ”
The bigger the territory, the more Hu Zhao has this idea.
Minghou Mujing's age is too young, the young man is in charge, above the employing people, and he also favors young people, young people are not bad, they are full of enthusiasm to do things, a little less calculation of their own gains and losses, and a little more pragmatic state, but after all, there is less experience.
"What does that mean, veteran?"
Mu Jing stared at this Hu Zhao suspiciously, he invited out, this sentence is meaningful.
"Cai sacrifice wine!" Hu Zhao said: "Cai Saijiu is a little pedantic, but in the handling of government affairs, he is indeed more experienced than all of us, this person can be a great sage of the court in the past, not in vain!" ”
"It's not that I don't want him to enter the Minghou Mansion, it's that he can't think about it!" Mu Jing said with some regret, Cai Yongzhicai, how could he not know, but this old man is not very optimistic about him, and he has no intention of being here for him.
"I guess he's going to think about it by now!"
"Why?"
"Because he's got a goal!" The corners of Hu Zhao's mouth raised a calculating smile, and he said in a low voice: "Jingwusi should have discussed it with you, he has a close correspondence with Situ Wang Yun of the Chang'an Imperial Court!" ”
"What do you want to say?" Mu Jing squinted.
"Cai Shangshu naturally won't do anything to hurt the lord, but if he has the intention of persuading the lord to be loyal to the court, how can he not enter the game with his body?" Hu Zhao said.
"That's a good idea!"
Mu Jing's eyes brightened suddenly: "That old guy thinks about how to be loyal to the Han family all day long, how to save the people in the world, and if he doesn't give him a chance, then it can't be said, Wang Situ has helped us a lot!" ”
He has always wanted Cai Yong to go out of the mountain, and Cai Yong was forced to be helpless when he left Hanzhong, so he came out to wave the flag and shout for him, the effect is particularly good, and the stability of Hanzhong is his confidence to seize Yizhou.
But this old guy saw that Mu Jing stabilized Yizhou, and retreated, and now he is back to Hongdumen to learn teaching.
The plot between him and Wang Yun, Mu Jing naturally knew.
This can't hide from the pasture.
But Mu Jing doesn't take it seriously, because he knows Cai Yong too well, Cai Yong is a person like him, the bottom line is too clear, and there are some things that he can't do without supervision.
If Wang Yun's lobbying is used to let him come out and sit in the Minghou Mansion for himself, it will be perfect.
"Kong Ming, I'll leave this matter to you!" Mu Jing said.
"You are his son-in-law, or the lord of the Ming Marquis Mansion, you go in person, it's more sincere!"
"You made this suggestion, of course you go!" Mu Jing said shamelessly.
The corners of Hu Zhao's mouth twitched, why, he was not the only one who calculated him, and he would be left alone when the time came.
"There's one more thing you need to see for yourself!"
Hu Zhaohe, a major public matter, could only accept his fate, he put this matter aside first, and then took out a file from a pile of files and handed it to Mu Jing.
"Important?"
"It's about the biggest benefit of Yizhou!"
"Salt!"
Mu Jing had already guessed before he opened the file.
"It's salt!" Hu Zhao said: "The salt of Bashu can be used in all directions, but the salt affairs have never been controlled by the Yizhou official, but controlled by the major families, the annual salt introduction is not approved by us, but the local county government can approve it, the most important thing is that salt is a necessity, they are not afraid that they can't sell it at all, and they threaten us without fear!" ”
"The largest salt wells in Yizhou are all in Jiangyang!" Mu Jing opened the file, looked at it carefully, and said: "Fushijing and Dagongjing can already support the salt supply of the entire southwest, which is really profitable!" ”
The well salt of Bashu has a long history, and during the period of Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the salt unearthed from the Fushi Well and the Dagong Well can shock the court.
"We've got to get the salt back!" Hu Zhao said.
"Now is not the time!"
Mu Jing shook his head and said bluntly: "I don't dare to touch their bottom line!" ”
When Yizhou was seeking stability, he was a dragon crossing the river and was not afraid of a mountain tiger, but if he fell out with the head snake, the overall impact may not be great, but the small things will inevitably continue, and it will affect his deployment when the time comes.
"The salt tax in Keyi State is the key to our revenue!" Hu Zhao emphasized.
"I know!"
Mu Jing said: "But the matter of salt affairs, we can't be in a hurry, compare our hearts with our hearts, if others dare not give us space to live, we dare to rise up, if we beat some people to eat, they are not fighting with us, when the time comes, it will be cheap, it is the people outside, how many people are trying to watch our jokes!" ”
"You can't have them all the time!"
"Of course you can't follow them like this, salt is the most important thing in Yizhou, sooner or later you have to take it back, and even take two wells, I want it, but this matter, it's a strategy, you have to boil frogs in warm water!" The corners of Mu Jing's mouth raised slightly, and a sinister smile appeared on his face, which made Hu Zhao feel a chill.
"What do you want to do?" Hu Zhao asked.
Mu Jing replied in a gloomy voice: "Of course, we are in harmony with them, not only can we not take care of their nest, but we also have to do business with them, I am the best at doing business!" ”
