Recently, He Shen has been very unhappy, because no matter where the emperor went before, he was the only one who could serve in front of him, but now there is another Liu Hong, this old guy has no less experience in serving people than himself, and he has robbed a lot of his own work, which makes He Shen very uneasy.

He Shen's small abacus Li Jun didn't care, after all, no matter where it is, monopoly is not a good phenomenon, even in the palace, before He Shen's family was dominant in the palace, and was privately called the ancestor, Li Jun knew it clearly, and now bring Liu Hong, the second ancestor, out and neutralize it.

At the last court meeting in the third year of Zhenguan, Li Jun discussed with the ministers how to dispose of the territory of the three countries of Lingnan, according to the most conventional method, Zhang An and others wanted to set up a county in Lingnan, but this proposal was suppressed by Li Jun.

The Three Kingdoms of Lingnan are very different from Hang Aishan, Hang Aishan was the territory of the Tang Dynasty before, but it was robbed by the Northern Jin during the first emperor, in just a few years, the people there are still interested in the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty will re-establish the county there, and there will be no obstacles to the convenience of the people, which is one of them; The second is that the Hangai Mountains are vast and sparsely populated, and there is a lot of agricultural land, and the people can cultivate immediately after the establishment of the county, which will not affect their livelihoods, while Lingnan does not have these two conditions, the people here have been ruled by the Three Kingdoms for more than 300 years, and they have no sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty, so Li Jun rejected the proposal of Zhang An and others.

Li Jun is ready to restore the state system in Lingnan, Dayu is divided into Kyushu, and now Datang is no longer just Kyushu can be satisfied, so Li Jun first experimented in Lingnan, and it will be much more convenient to re-divide the state in the future, which is actually similar to the provincial system in later generations.

Li Jun's proposal was approved at the court meeting, and the newly defeated three kingdoms of Lingnan were named Guizhou, and the governor of Guizhou was appointed by Sun Kun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the governor was Lin Dahong, the general of Zhengnan, and Xiao Ting, Li Jun's father-in-law, succeeded him as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

The reason why he chose Gongsun Kun is because of this guy's loyalty, and on the other hand, his daughter Gongsun Qiong has just become pregnant with the dragon seed, which can be regarded as a reward for the Gongsun family.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Jun left Zhang An and Gongsun Kun alone, and there were some things that still needed to be explained to these two guys.

Li Jun looked at the silent two people below, and first asked Gongsun Kun: "Gongsun Aiqing, do you have any doubts about going to Lingnan?" ”

Gongsun Kun hurriedly agreed: "Your Majesty has already arranged it very properly, but there is one point, the minister doesn't want those old oilmen in the officialdom, and the minister wants the Shang Shuling and Gantang students who are going to be divided this year." ”

After the end of the imperial examination, Li Junqin designated a scholar named Wang Yaochen as the champion, and the list eye was Gao Pei, so the previous old Jinshi have all gone down this year, Shang Shutai and Gan Tang have exchanged a batch of blood, Gongsun Kun is now proposing this condition, Li Jun is really a little embarrassed.

Li Jun thought for a while and asked, "Tell me your reason, if it is reasonable, I will try my best to arrange it." ”

"Your Majesty, those old officials who have been in the officialdom for a long time have long lost their ambitions, and they are proud of corruption one by one, such people can't be used, and those students are different, the scholarly spirit is just when Fang Yu is reprimanded, so the minister would rather use these milk tigers who have not yet come out of the mountain, and will definitely not use those old and sophisticated guys, those who have been deceived by the officials for many years, with the knowledge of the minister, they can't be found at all, since it is a new people, a new territory, then it is also time to use new officials." Gongsun Kun carefully explained.

Li Jun agrees with Gongsun Kun's idea, this new place should indeed be a bit new, but there is one thing that Gongsun Kun thinks wrong, that is, Guizhou does not need many officials this time.

So Li Jun nodded with a smile and said: "Gongsun Aiqing's words are very reasonable, I will think about it, but there is one thing I also want to tell Aiqing in advance that there are now more than 50 large and small cities in the whole of Guizhou, each city is equivalent to a township, and the five townships are combined into one county, which means that Guizhou is ready to be divided into ten counties, and it is enough for each county to be equipped with fifty officials." ”

"Your Majesty, this can't be counted like this, officials not only have to manage the city, but also take care of the countryside, so fifty officials in one county are far from enough." Zhang An explained with a smile.

Li Jun felt that at this time, Zhang An must have felt that he was a stupid hat who didn't understand people's livelihood, Li Jun was not angry, picked up a piece of slash on the table and handed it to the two: "Two Aiqing, take a good look, this is Xiao Renjie's recital, after reading it, the two of them will understand." ”

The two of them took it and looked at it, and they sweated profusely when they looked at them, which was really incredible.

Li Jun continued to ask, "Two Aiqing, do you understand now?" I don't need to send officials to the countryside at all. ”

"Your Majesty is stupid, please forgive your sins." The two hurriedly pleaded guilty.

Li Jun waved his hand and said: "Okay, this matter will be kept secret for the time being, and after the New Year, I will be looking for the two Aiqing to discuss it well, and now the cabinet can prepare in advance, and the notice will be distributed in Guizhou, and all the people will come to live next to the city for four months, and after four months, those who don't come and want to stay in the wilderness do not need to be registered." ”

"No, the minister obeys." Zhang An didn't dare to slack off and replied immediately.

I originally wanted these two to stay for a while, but at this time, a little chamberlain hurriedly ran over and said, "Your Majesty, Zhaojun Niangniang is about to give birth." ”

Li Jun counted the days, but it was only these two days, so Li Jun immediately abandoned the two ministers and went straight to the harem.

Zhang An is a little proud, so he can't help but feel a little pimple in his heart, Li Jun is already the father of several princes and princesses, and it's not the first time to be a father, as for leaving two important ministers?

On the way out of the palace, the more Gongsun Kun thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he arched his hand to Zhang An and said, "Lord Shoufu, do you think that Xiao Renjie's method is reliable?" If the fiefs of the nobles were to be transferred to Lingnan, there would be no resistance, right? ”

Zhang An replied with a smile: "Lord Gongsun, don't worry, the old man feels that His Majesty will definitely have a back hand, anyway, the old man is moved, not to mention anything else, even if the three generations of Hou become the sixth generation of Hou, it can also make many people's hearts move, including the old man, we have worked so hard in the officialdom in this life, so hard, what is it for?" It's not for future generations, just this old man feels that it is enough, if there are other good conditions, this thing will definitely go smoothly. ”

"What Lord Zhang said is very much, if you want to completely bring the land of Lingnan into the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court is afraid that it will not be able to handle it, this method is indeed a good way, after going back, the lower officials will let the family prepare and prepare, the children in the family have not suffered hardships, it is not bad to take this opportunity to exercise, maybe you can train a few talents."

"Haha, the old man also has this intention, the dog is not filial, this year's imperial examination is not on the list again, just go to Lingnan to exercise."

With that, the two old foxes looked at each other and laughed.
