Chapter 86 Establishment of Institutions for the Benefit of All Parties

Indemnify! Just two words were placed in front of Liu Mang, the king of the Southern Han Dynasty. I have to say that Gongsun Jian is very arrogant. But people have that strength, Wu Guo was defeated in his hands twice, and Zhou Guo himself couldn't do anything about him. Therefore, Liu Mang endured the anger in his heart and sent envoys to start negotiations between the two sides.

You don't have to think about the outcome of the negotiations to know that it is bad. How could the Southern Han Kingdom cede land and sue for peace? He was not defeated, but he just withdrew his troops. If you're not convinced, then you can continue to do it. But Gongsun Jian's tone was also unusually tough. Lao Tzu soldiers have all brought, what is the matter if you don't fight. I can't explain it to my sergeants! They all hope to make a fortune by fighting wars!

So there was no need to talk about it anymore, and the two sides went straight to fight. There is no need for the help of the army under the king of Chu. The Zhou army, which had been impatient for a long time, dispatched all the troops, and did not even reserve the reserves, so they went up directly to attack and attacked the Southern Han army, which had no fighting spirit.

This is also a hell of a sight, I have never encountered such a well-equipped army that is not afraid of death. The Southern Han army cursed in his mouth, but the speed of escape under his feet did not slow down at all.

It was very easy, and Gongsun Jian easily occupied two prefectures and counties of the Southern Han Kingdom with his own troops. However, Gongsun Jian did not stay, and after some searching, he directly handed over the looted territory to his new father-in-law, Qian Tuan. From now on, this will be your base. You have to take good care of it and don't get it lost, otherwise I'll be in trouble as a son-in-law. You can't help one old man fight another old man.

Unexpectedly and simply dealt with the south, Gongsun Jian suddenly felt a feeling of idleness. Then go directly to the capital and marry a new daughter-in-law by the way.

Fortunately, Gongsun Jian sent a letter to his home to explain the situation before, so as not to make Qian Mingyue and Feng Wan'er think too much. But even if he doesn't write a letter to inform him, the girl from Gongyu Dance will secretly inform him.

For the Gong Yu Dance, there is no problem with having a few more mothers, as long as you are good to yourself. But it's no problem to be bad for yourself, it's a big deal to let Wei Meng, Ding Feng, Ma Teng and a few other uncles kill them. Therefore, Gongyu Wu happily followed Gongsun Jian towards Shangjing City again.

But this time, the court of the Zhou State panicked. Why didn't your Gongsun Jian return to his own territory after the battle, so he ran to the capital? Could it be that you are not ready to rebel and change the dynasty? It's a pity that Gongsun Jian's reasons are also very legitimate. I'm here to greet you!

Come and greet you, bring tens of thousands of troops? The court of the Zhou State said that it would not believe anything. So an edict was sent to Gongsun Jian. Don't say anything, you go back to the station, I will send you all the wives and dowries you want to marry, and promise that there will be a lot of everything.

Gongsun Jian was also really obedient, and as soon as he received the holy decree, he immediately turned around and returned to his own territory. But many generals in the army all found Gongsun Jian together.

O lord! The court of the Zhou State is incompetent to this point, what are we waiting for? It's better to take it directly. Qian Hong is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and now that he has begun to contact those nobles, once he eases up in the future, he will not have this opportunity.

I have to say that these generals are still very discerning, but Gongsun Jian doesn't think so. Capturing Shangjing is not the same as occupying the entire Zhou Kingdom, and with his current situation, the possibility of occupying the entire Zhou Kingdom is very high. But what about the next reign? Those nobles of the family who have fallen roots in the tree, may they admit defeat? Plus the external environment. Who knows if the time comes, whether the Northern Qi of Wu and even the Southern Han will take the opportunity to pounce and take a bite?

Therefore, after thinking about it, Gongsun Jian decided to continue to implement the strategy of 'building a high city, accumulating grain, and becoming king slowly'. A good meal is not late, the key is to be able to enjoy it alone without being disturbed.

Returning to Linshui County, Gongsun Jian'an settled down and began the next development plan. Now the territory of the three provinces and eleven provinces in hand needs to be well managed. In particular, although Tien Nam Province was subordinate to Gongsun Jian, the new policy was not fully implemented, especially the crucial land reform plan had yet to be resolved.

This is Gongsun Jian's established policy, and it must be resolutely promoted, and then in this way, he can win the support of the people at the bottom, and only in this way can he be supported to go further in the future.

Therefore, as soon as he returned to Linshui County, Gongsun Jian began to convene a meeting to study the next issues about Tiannan Province. As the representative of the Li family in Tiannan Province, Li Wenfang immediately stated that he and the family behind him, as well as a group of big families attached to them, were willing to pay their own land free of charge, and only kept some private property and land as rations for family members.

Gongsun Jian welcomed and accepted this, and also stated that he would make compensation to the Li family within a certain range in the future. In addition, he also encouraged the Li family not only to limit their vision to Tiannan Province, but to look at the world more broadly, especially in the business they are good at, and try to go out and become bigger and stronger. And Gongsun Jian's Zhou Wangfu will also give some support.

With the support of the Li family, the next thing will be much easier. And another problem has been solved. It is the question of the choice of the governor of Tiannan Province. The candidate proposed by Li Wenfang before Hou Pu officially passed the assessment of Gongsun Jian and others, and was appointed as the governor of Tiannan Province.

I have to say that this Hou Pu is indeed very talented, and he is willing to work hard for people, and he was not able to pass the first assessment of recruiting officials because of poor arithmetic, but he quickly spontaneously learned arithmetic, and obviously made rapid progress. This also made Gongsun Jian see the advantages of his love of learning and being good at thinking. In addition, Hou Pu himself was born in the Hou family of the Great Family of Tiannan Province, but his relationship with his own family is not very good. Therefore, this also led Gongsun Jian to finally appoint him as the first governor of Tiannan Province.

With Hou Pu taking office, the implementation of the new policy in Tien Nam Province has also officially begun. However, this time Gongsun Jian did not use the previous violent means, he directly handed over the task to Hou Pu and Li Wenfang, and tried his best to use their local power and popularity to peacefully solve a series of problems such as land. However, when encountering that kind of diehard, Gongsun Jian will not be soft. Of course, he handed over these rights to Hou Pu, in a word, three months must complete the implementation of the new policy in Tien Nam Province. Otherwise, Gongsun Jian wouldn't mind doing it himself, and it would be estimated that it would be crowded by then.

After deciding on the affairs of Tiannan Province, Gongsun Jian began to shift his focus to Dingnan Province. Unlike the situation in Tiannan Province, Dingnan Province was defeated by Gongsun Jian with his troops, and those big families had already been killed by him. So the implementation of the New Deal here has been very good from the beginning, although some people have been secretly active recently, trying to purposefully sabotage the implementation of the New Deal. But this small group of people had already been controlled by Hu Tianyi's Security Division, so Gongsun Jian was not afraid that these people would be able to turn the sky upside down.

As for the definition of Dingnan Province, according to the consultation of Gongsun Jian, Feng Huaidao and Shi Fangheng, the geographical conditions here are superior, and the land is fertile and suitable for the vigorous promotion of agricultural economy. In the future, it needs to become an important logistics grain and grass support base for Gongsun Jian. Therefore, there is a need for someone who understands agriculture to be responsible for leadership. Zhang Yi, the governor of Dingnan Province, who was originally appointed, is a talent in this area, and he is doing a good job. However, Gongsun Jian felt that it was not enough. In his eyes, these are primitive agriculture, and a lot of resources are wasted. Therefore, he decided to pass on some of the knowledge he had learned in his previous life to some people, and try to make agricultural production change towards a modern and intensive model. In particular, compared with the more underground farming industry, almost all the meat on the market is raised by individual farmers, so it is inefficient and cannot meet the needs of the market.

After personally inspecting Dingnan Province, Gongsun Jian, Governor Zhang Yi and others discussed and held meetings together and shared their experience. Those advanced theories also benefited Zhang Yi and others a lot, and they all showed deep admiration for this young prince. I never expected that King Zhou would not only lead troops to fight and govern various places, but also have such insight and knowledge in agriculture.

After giving guidance on direction and knowledge, what to do next is the matter of Governor Zhang Yi and the prefects and counties below him. It is impossible for his Gongsun Jian to be meticulous in everything, and it is better for the details to be done by the people below. And he is in charge of the general direction.

After solving the affairs of Dingnan Province and Tiannan Province, Gongsun Jian finally took a breath and rested. And at this time, he found out that there were more people in his palace.

As early as when he went to Dingnan Province to inspect, Qian Yuehua, the daughter of the king of Chu, and Sun Zhilan, a princess sent by Wu State, had already arrived at the palace, waiting for Gongsun Jian to come back and complete the marriage. For this kind of political marriage, Gongsun Jian is psychologically repulsive. Especially I feel a little sorry for Qian Mingyue and Feng Wan'er. But to his surprise, Qian Feng and the others didn't care at all, and the four women quickly got along harmoniously.

Speaking of which, Qian Mingyue and Qian Yuehua have the closest relationship, after all, the two are cousins. And although Sun Zhilan was married here to make peace, she liked the freedom here more than the palace of Wu State. Originally, she was a princess who was not valued at all, and her biological mother's status was low, so it is conceivable that her status in the Wu royal family was almost dispensable. If she hadn't been sent to be married this time, her fate would probably have been married to the son of the big family of Wu as an exchange of interests. was able to marry here, especially after meeting Feng Wan'er and Qian Mingyue after coming, she knew that she was so lucky. The old rules are no better than obeying anything, everyone is equal and free here. This was something that she had never imagined before.

Looking at the four women sitting together chattering endlessly, Gongsun Jian felt a little big. If you come here, you will be safe. Anyway, I don't have a lot of time at home, so it's a big deal to arrange something for them to do, so that I can save myself.

Fortunately, he soon discovered that Qian Yuehua and Sun Zhilan, the two newcomers, are very good, at least for now, there are no signs of jealousy. Compared with Qian Mingyue, who longs for freedom, her cousin Qian Yuehua is more quiet, and writes every day in addition to reading. A lot of times you don't feel that there is such a person. And Sun Zhilan may have lived in the palace since she was a child, but it is estimated that she is also very poor. Therefore, she is extremely obsessed with money, and after she met Liu Fanglan, she began to follow Liu Fanglan all day long to learn how to do business.

One night, after playing with Sun Zhilan, Gongsun Jian looked at the woman in his arms and asked with some curiosity why the other party likes to do business and make money so much? And the other party's answer made Gongsun Jian a little surprised.

"Lord, the slave family is not a concubine, and even if you give birth to a prince in the future, you have no hope of inheriting the throne. Besides, I've seen enough of the intrigues in the palace since I was a child. Therefore, I hope that I can save enough money for my future children so that he can live a prosperous life with peace of mind. ”

After listening to Sun Zhilan's words, Gongsun Jian's mind suddenly appeared with the picture of several sons vying for the throne more than twenty years later. Thinking back to Sun Zhilan's words, I have to say that the woman in my arms is smart enough.
