A pot of tea was drunk until it was cold, and after Jiang Pu finished saying what he had to say, he also got up to say goodbye and went back on a business trip, while Chen Xu sat in the room for half an hour before returning to the Qinghe Marquis Mansion.

The driving force behind this matter is most likely Wang Qian.

He was using the merits of the Wang family and their status in the emperor's mind to dispel the emperor's investigation into the Yanmen Pass.

Because the Manchu Dynasty civil and military including the emperor, the only person Wang Jian couldn't see clearly was Chen Xu, and he wanted to bring the matter to a successful end before he died.

It's a pity that Chen Xu didn't take out the recital, but secretly arranged for someone to go to Yanmen Pass to inquire about the situation.

Wang Qian's arrangement did not get the desired result, so he guessed that Chen Xu might not stop there, so before he died, he asked Chen Xu to show mercy to Wang Li's subordinates in the future.

"Lao Tzu is really still too white, and he has to put me together before he dies!"

Back at the Hou Mansion, Chen Xu locked himself in the study, looking through the army reform plan he had sorted out, and there were countless heads and eras in his heart.

After Jiang Pu's explanation and his own continuous analysis, he found that he was a little embarrassed at the moment, and continued to investigate, even if he found it out, if he didn't get the emperor's support, then he would only offend a large group of people without the slightest effect, but if he didn't investigate, Chen Xu felt that it was not in line with his own philosophy, if things continued to develop, no one dared to guarantee that the angry Zhao Di people would not rebel, if it really developed to that point, Inevitably, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people, will be killed, and countless people will be killed or injured.

Because this incident is not the same as Xiang's rebellion.

The Xiang clan took the initiative to rebel, and the support of the people was not enough, but even so, in just over a month, tens of thousands of bandits were summoned to sweep more than ten counties in three counties, hundreds of thousands of people were implicated, and countless casualties were killed.

And if there is a riot among the people of Zhao Land, this is a kind of hatred and anger that has accumulated for a long time, and Li Mu's influence among the people of Zhao Land is almost the same as that of a god.

And if Chen Xu knew that this kind of result was very likely to occur and did nothing, then what was the difference between him and Meng Yi and Feng Quji, the emperor's feudal lackeys.

Paralyzed, Lao Tzu is a person who has already died once, and he still cares about these balls, the big deal is to offend the Wang family, Chen Xu finally hammered his fist on the desk, startling the two maids standing outside the door.

If some historical time is destined to be unchangeable, then the first emperor may only have more than two years, although the history of later generations does not record the time of Wang Ben's death, but he definitely did not live to the time of Qin Shihuang's death, that is to say, in the future, he will only face Wang Li's three generations of this gentleman, not to mention that the combat effectiveness is scum, but it is definitely not too strong.

If the army does not carry out reforms, continuing like this will inevitably accumulate bigger problems, not to mention the decline in combat effectiveness, the relationship between the army and civilians will also become very bad, which is not conducive to Chen Xu's plan to reform Daqin.

It's a pity that his foundation in the court is too shallow, only he has been kept in the dark all the time, and there is no too strong support, it all depends on the emperor's trust, and some things are difficult to promote, because some things the emperor does not support or even deliberately avoids.

In fact, as long as Feng Quji or Meng Yi have one to support themselves, then they will definitely investigate and deal with it very smoothly, but unfortunately no.

But now, Chen Xu decided to go out and do it alone.

Ma Teng and Li Shun went to Yanmen County to inquire about the situation, if it is not expected, at most the news will come back in December, and after the synthesis of information from all aspects, there will be more confidence to promote this matter, offending the Wang family, it is not a big deal, if this matter cannot be done before the death of the first emperor, I am afraid that the later variables will be greater, once the first emperor dies and does not set up a prince, then there will be a rebellion in the country when the court is chaotic, maybe the entire Great Qin will be in a mess and boiled, After all, this little butterfly that has crossed over is ...... Well, the takeaway brother is fluttering too much in Daqin, Daqin can't see through it at all, his eyes are pitch black right now, and he no longer knows how far Daqin will develop, the only thing that makes him clear is that there will definitely be no situation where Chu and Han will compete for hegemony.

Xiang Yu is now in Dongying, and Liu Bang is still the general manager of Keju Commercial Plaza, the identities of these two people have long been unrecognizable, and it is impossible to jump out of each other.

And Jiang Pu, who drank half a pot of Ziyunxian tea with Chen Xu, was in a trance all morning.

The Jiang family and the Qinghe Marquis have a deep relationship, and they have known each other since Chen Xu was still in Xiaohe Village, and in order to protect Chen Xu, Jiangbei Pavilion even did not hesitate to gamble on the future of his family, colluding with a group of officials of all sizes in Wancheng to suppress Zhao Zhe's case, although in the end Chen Xu was still remembered by Zhao Gao, and finally the matter was revealed and Zhao Gao and Jiang were both punished by the emperor, but Jiang's kindness was still compensated by Chen Xu, Jiang Heng was transferred, Jiangbei Pavilion was reactivated, Jiang Pu was promoted to return to Beijing, plus Jiang Hu was made a marquis, The Jiang family has since stepped into the ranks of the top nobles of Great Qin.

Later, when the Xiang family rebelled, it was also Chen Xu who reminded Jiang Heng in advance, so that Jiang Heng prepared in advance to sabotage the Xiang family's plan to occupy Wuzhong, which led to a bad start for the Xiang family and soon fell into a dilemma.

To say that the most intimate with Chen Xu among the entire Great Qin aristocracy is undoubtedly the Jiang family, and Meng Yi can't do it, but today's Jiang family still can't become the backbone of Chen Xu's reform, Jiang Hu is fighting outside, and Jiang Pu is only a third-grade agent, so this matter makes Jiang Pu worried, if the Jiang family can't make an attitude in this matter, I'm afraid that the good relationship formed between him and Chen Xu before will also be greatly reduced.

What Chen Xu has to do this time is not trivial, and the top noble Wang clan of Great Qin, the struggle at this level has made the entire Jiang clan unable to preserve, once Chen Xu falls behind, the Jiang clan will inevitably be suppressed.

But if he doesn't support Chen Xu, Jiang Pu feels that he can't think about this ending at all, no matter whether Chen Xu wins or not, the Jiang family will lose Chen Xu's trust from now on.

And the three letters sent out last time, the eldest brother Jiang Heng and the fourth brother Jiang Beiting have already replied, because the internal reasons are too complicated, and Jiang Pu has his own decision, so whether to support Chen Xu or watch from the sidelines makes Jiang Pu have a headache.

……

Time is like a wild dog on the loose, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The imperial court's resettlement of the Lingnan lands was also introduced one after another.

At Chen Xu's suggestion, the Baiyue region outside the Wuling Mountains and the two counties of central Fujian and Guizhou, which had already been conquered, were redivided, and the five counties of Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou and Yunnan were set up respectively, and the county governments were set up in Fuzhou, Panyu, Guilin, Guiyang and Kunming respectively.

Originally, according to Chen Xu's plan, a large-scale adjustment of counties and counties across the country was carried out, including the redivision of names and regions, but he temporarily gave up after discussing with Meng Yi and some other officials who knew him well.

The counties of the Qin Dynasty continued the name and regional division of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, because the Central Plains of the Yellow River Basin was developed very early, and the Qin, Zhao, Han, and Wei Qi and even including the Chu Yan Kingdom each occupied a piece of land, and divided the counties and counties in their own countries for management, resulting in the dense counties and counties in the Central Plains today, and like the south ruled by the Chu State, a county often governs a huge range, with the rapid development of the Great Qin, the warm and humid climate in the south is more suitable for agricultural development, and a large number of people will slowly migrate to the south to expand, In this way, these counties in the south are very difficult to manage, and they need to be divided into smaller ones, while many counties in the Central Plains can actually be merged, which will reduce a lot of management waste.

The most important thing is that the division and name of the counties and counties of Daqin made Chen Xu very unfamiliar, and Hanoi, Shangdang, Yingchuan, Handan, Xue County, Dangjun and so on did not have any geographical distinction marks at all, which did not conform to the habit of geographical division.

Although Chen Xu's idea was good, Meng Yi objected, because once the large-scale adjustment of counties and counties was carried out nationwide, there would inevitably be large-scale official transfers and new distribution of police officers and soldiers, and a large number of official records caused by the separation and merger of counties and counties would need to be recompiled.

However, Chen Xu will not give up completely on this matter, the turmoil brought about by large-scale changes is too great, so it can be adjusted slowly and on a small scale, and in five years and ten years, he will strive to be able to clearly divide the counties and counties of Daqin, which can not only further erase the traces of the previous six countries, so that the people of the six countries can be more integrated, but also allow Daqin to increase its control over the counties.

Therefore, Chen Xu thought about it at home for a few days and then went to the palace to visit Qin Shi Huang, and talked about the re-division of counties and the benefits thereof, and his plan was strongly supported by Qin Shi Huang, so Chen Xu convened a group of officials from the Academy of Sciences, the Ministry of Industry, and Shaofu who were responsible for surveying the terrain and topography in the country to build irrigation ditches, as well as galloping roads and roads, to form a national regional planning office, analyze and discuss against the map of Daqin today, and start the planning of re-dividing counties and counties across the country with some famous mountains and lakes as symbols. Slowly, this plan will be discussed and promoted in the court.

Generally speaking, the division of counties and counties in Daqin today and the provinces and cities in later generations is too different in terms of regions and names, which makes Chen Xu very unaccustomed to it.

Although it is not necessarily completely consistent with the provinces and cities of later generations, the geographical names and regional divisions that have been slowly formed in China for more than 2,000 years have their own sufficient reasons and reasons, both military considerations and topographical distinctions.

After the division of the new counties and counties of Great Qin is completed, then the historical traces of the former six countries and even the Qin State will be completely abolished from the geographical area, so that the whole of China will start a new unified planning model, and it will be truly and completely integrated.
