Chen Mo's eastern tour, there are more or less people in the court who know, and those who are well-informed will send messages to their familiar families, and they have been vigilant recently, there is no best dirty and broken thing, if there is any, keep it, don't make public grievances, otherwise the gods will be difficult to save.

Chen Mo's attention and dedication to the people's livelihood are known to the whole court, especially in the Central Plains, in the past two years, various inspections and secret visits, local officials are greedy, this is nothing, Chen Mo also acquiesced, after all, the imperial court now has to use money and grain for many things, this time the territory has expanded, the population has almost doubled, and the officials' salaries cannot be issued in time in many cases, and many people in the DPRK and the Central Government have owed them for several years.

Now that you have to use people and money, you are naturally overstretched, so the officials are greedy for ink, as long as they don't cross the line, Chen Mo won't care, but you have to hurt the people's livelihood, especially when the whole country is restoring the people's livelihood, even if you are Chen Mo's relatives, it is not easy to make it, the Zhen family has several people who have been directly cut off their heads, and they are not even punished for the sake of Zhen Mi's face, this time Chen Mo's secret visit, if Chen Mo finds out in person, then the consequences will be his own.

It's not that no one wants to secretly see where Chen Mo is going, and have a preparation in advance, but Chen Mo is very concerned about his own safety, this unannounced visit, there are thirty-six teams of people pretending to be Chen Mo's frame and walking separately, it is not easy to find the real way under the hidden ability of Chen Mo, an expert in military use.

Fortunately, Chen Mo came down to inspect this time, not too long, three months later, Chen Mo ended the inspection and returned to Luoyang, along the way, seven county orders in Jizhou were dismissed, and on the Central Plains side, from Zhongmu to Runan, sixteen county orders were dismissed, so that the county commanders in the Central Plains were in danger.

"Zhongda, what does the prime minister mean by this?" Luoyang, Sima's house, Sima Lang pulled Sima Yi, who had just come back, frowned and asked.

"What do you mean?" Sima Yi wondered.

"Twenty-three county orders have been dismissed at once, aren't you afraid that people's hearts will be unstable?" Sima Lang frowned and asked.

"The new policy of the lord has been implemented well in the Central Plains, and a large number of Shu clans and poor families have leaned on the side of the lord." Sima Yi smiled when he heard this.

"What does this have to do with the removal of local county ordinances?" Sima Lang was stunned.

"These people choose to serve the lord, although there is a new deal in their favor, but the court must also have something to say, remove a group of outdated and incompetent officials, and then select a group of new officials from these people, and at the same time release the Taixue disciples, so that the local forces will not resist too much, and the lord can also take advantage of this step by step to change the old official system, and after five years and ten years, I am afraid that the Central Plains will also be like Guanzhong, and the local officials will be completely served by the Taixue disciples. There is only one way to enter the academy, and these twenty-three county orders are just a temptation for the lord, and if it is done, more people with insufficient talent and virtue will be eliminated in the future. Sima Yi explained with a smile.

"I see." Sima Lang frowned when he heard this: "Why does this prime minister always like to grasp power from the local level?" ”

"Even if the DPRK fights fiercely, it will not affect the place, whether the country can be stable, it all depends on the place, it seems to be laborious, but in fact it is the root of the problem, brother looks at the past Chaozhong Dou how fierce, but someone can really shake the position of the prime minister?" Sima Yi said with a smile.

Chen Mo's roots are in the locality, so no matter how fierce the opposition forces in the DPRK and China are, they can't shake Chen Mo, look at these years, even if there are still people who oppose Chen Mo now, but Chen Mo's foundation is getting more and more stable, and you will find that most of the younger ones are on Chen Mo's side.

Those old ministers of the Han family will eventually fade out of the court, and as these people gradually withdraw from the stage of history, there will be fewer and fewer people loyal to the Han family in the court and even the world until they disappear.

It was precisely because of this that Sima Yi chose to stand on Chen Mo's side from the beginning, and even wanted to pull the Sima family to stand in line, but the current Sima family is not his final say.

"Humph!" Just as Sima Yi was talking, a cold snort came from behind him.

Sima Yi was startled, and hurriedly threw up his hand and stepped aside.

"Chen Mo rebelled against the chaos of the dynasty and bullied the king, although he is prosperous now, he will not die well one day, you little thief, he will not implicate my Sima family in the future!" Sima Fang glared at Sima Yi coldly and said disdainfully.

"That's what my father said." Sima Yi lowered his head and lowered his hand, knowing that his own Lao Tzu hated to see him now, as for arguing, it was completely meaningless, Sima Yi was too lazy to fight, time would tell.

"Father, I heard that the prime minister is still in court?" Sima Lang hurriedly took the robe that Sima Fang had taken off and asked.

"Hmm." Sima Fang nodded, glanced at Sima Yi, who was low-eyed and pleasing to the side, and frowned: "If it is really as you just said, this time the choice of the twenty-three counties and county orders, you should calculate it carefully, and you must not let the traitor be proud!" ”

"It's useless, father, unless all the twenty-three county decrees are rejected, even if only one or two people are promoted, the prime minister's goal will be achieved." Sima Yi shook his head and smiled.

All dismissed? How is that possible?

Although Sima Fang is quite resentful of Chen Mo, he also knows that this is impossible, not to mention that Chen Mo is selected normally according to the rules of the imperial court, even if it is not, who Chen Mo wants to promote, not to mention that only he Sima Fang, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military together cannot veto Chen Mo's proposal completely, and the twenty-three county county orders are indeed corrupt and pervert the law, oppressing the people, even Sima Fang can't see it, and he can't say anything to ensure that they stay in office, and it is self-inflicted humiliation to say it.

"Father, this heavenly way is constant, and the change of dynasty is a normal thing, so why should my father go against the prime minister because of this? The prime minister may have been, but this father sees the world as much better than in the past under the prime minister's governance, so why should my father ......" Sima Yi said with a smile.

"Shut up!" Sima Fang pointed at Sima Yi and scolded: "You rebel, I, Sima Yimen, am a loyal minister of the Han family, how can I boast of this chaotic minister and thief!?" ”

Sima Yi reluctantly chose to shut up, it turned out that it was irrational to choose a hard bar with Chen Mo, but he couldn't persuade his father, so he could only control it secretly, and just keep the family when necessary, anyway, with his father's ability, to be honest, he couldn't make any big waves.

"You go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find out, who are among those county orders promoted this time? Are there any people in the Tai Academy who can win over those disciples? At the end, Sima Fang instructed Sima Yi again.

"Oh~" Sima Yi was feeling depressed, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly got up to say goodbye, and ran away with a smoke.

When he came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chen Mo was discussing with Xun You in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jia Xu was sitting with the old god on the side, and when he saw Sima Yi coming in, he smiled at him.

Sima Yi hurriedly made a return gift, although this old man doesn't do anything on weekdays, he can't see anything powerful, giving people the biggest feeling of kindness, but Sima Yi doesn't dare to have the slightest disrespect for Jia Xu, this old man who seems harmless to humans and animals, but he almost subverted the Han Dynasty with a word, Chen Mo treats him with great respect, how dare Sima Yi pose in front of Jia Xu...... There is no existence in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion where Sima Yi can put a score.

"Zhongda is here." Yang Xiu on the side saw Sima Yi and beckoned to him, in this prime minister's mansion, if you talk about family background, you have to count the two of them as the highest, and they can talk more on weekdays.

"What happened?" Sima Yi knelt down beside Yang Xiu and asked.

"There was a flood in Runan, and the disaster relief is being discussed, and in addition, Shouchun has been continuously harassed by Jiangdong since this year, and three county commanders have died, and the county commanders in that area have resigned and are discussing replacement candidates." Yang Xiu said in a low voice.

Koto.

Sima Yi nodded, since Chen Mo pacified the Central Plains, although he has recruited fishermen in the East China Sea, Langya and other places to form a water army, but this general who is good at water warfare does not, and now Jiangdong is so presumptuous, it is because there is no water army here, and the next thing should be to start recruiting generals who are good at water warfare in the country.

However, this kind of generals are mostly in Jiangdong and Jingxiang, and Jianghuai also has them, but the Central Plains has not relied on water wars over the years, and now when they are preparing to fight water wars, talents with this talent have already been excavated by Jiangdong, and it is not easy to form a water army now.

"This water war general, since we can't find it, then we will practice it ourselves!" Chen Mo was also a little distressed about this matter, water warfare is different from land warfare, there are no generals who are good at water warfare, even if the fishermen are trained into a water army, they will not be able to exert their power without the command of the generals.

"Lord, there are no generals in our army who are good at water warfare, how can this be practiced?" Xun You smiled bitterly.

"Find those coastal watermen, those who can surrender will surrender, and those who can't surrender will be beaten." Chen Mo patted the table: "The method of water warfare, I will publish a book as soon as possible, let the generals try it, those who have talent here can be sent to dispatch the navy." ”

"The lord is also good at water warfare?" Yang Xiu said curiously.

"I've read some books that record the method of arraying in the water, but the water battle has never been fought, so now I focus on defending Jiangdong, and see if the method recorded in my books is useful, this art of war is also fought, and this is also a law that can't be helped." Chen Mo shook his head, he had never fought a water war, but he was going to go to the system immortals to learn how to fight, and then write a book and give it to the generals to try, now there are many generals under Chen Mo's command, he doesn't believe that there is no one suitable for water warfare.

"Prime Minister!" Sima Yi clenched his fists and said with a smile: "Xiao Chen thinks that he can send a fine work to Jiangdong to visit, if he can persuade one or two Jiangdong martial artists to vote in the future, wouldn't this matter of the navy get twice the result with half the effort?" ”

"Zhongda is right." Chen Mo nodded: "Let Zhongda do this matter." ”

The existence of the system immortals, Chen Mo has no way to explain to others, and he doesn't need to explain anything, and Sima Yi's method is not wrong, so Chen Mo decided to try both sides together, if he can recruit a few naval generals, it would be the best, if not, the naval generals who trained themselves here would not be pulled down.

"Huh~" Sima Yi got up to take the order, just on this ground, he went out to avoid the limelight, and was sandwiched between his father and Chen Mo, sometimes uncomfortable.
