Chapter 3 Leave a Path for Complicated Internal Affairs (2-in-1)
Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba's gifts are purely heartfelt, but Pei Min's gifts are killing weapons.
With a little curiosity, he opened the brocade box, looked at the three words "Guangling San" on the scroll, his eyes flashed with strange brilliance, and he exclaimed: "This...... This ......"
She couldn't even speak.
Compared with Pei Min's surprise at the beginning, Jiao Chen looked incredulous.
That expression was the same as Ning Wang Li Xian seeing "Plum Blossom Three Alleys".
If "Plum Blossom Three Alleys" is the first flute song, this "Guangling San" is undoubtedly the first flute song.
Jiao Chen moved the world with his piano skills, and his attainments in this area were extremely high, and he got a near-extinct qin score like "Guangling San", and the joy was shocking, indescribable.
"There are still rare books in "Guangling San" handed down?" After a while, Jiao Chen calmed down, couldn't wait to take "Guangling San" in his hand, carefully opened the scroll, looked at the recorded tone and tone, the melody echoed in his mind, and his eyes were full of surprise.
Pei Min elaborated on the origin of "Guangling San" and said: "I don't know where King Ning found it, but I know that Madame will definitely like it." β
Jiao Chen put away "Guangling San" and said with tears in his eyes: "There is no better gift than this." β
"Wow!"
Xiao Qi made a strange voice in his mouth, and said: "My mother is eccentric, what my father sends is good, and what Xiao Qi sends is not good!" β
Hachi also pouted dissatisfiedly and said, "That's it, the slingshot is my favorite baby." gave it to my mother, but it didn't please me. β
Jiao Chen hurriedly stuffed "Guangling San" to Pei Min, hugged the two small ones one by one, kissed them on the face and said: "You are the best gift for my mother, how can my mother not like it." But...... Hurry up and go to bed, wake up early tomorrow and do morning class. β
Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba responded with bitter faces.
The two little ones went back to their rooms together.
Jiao Chen looked at Pei Min's body and said, "It's been hard all the way, my hair is knotted, the concubine will go to see if there is any hot water, and wait for Pei Lang to bathe......"
I have already received the news that Pei Min is back, but according to the calculation of the distance, it is impossible to arrive today.
Don't think about it, it must be the last time that her husband left a large army for himself and came alone on a fast horse.
Jiao Chen didn't think much of it.
Pei Min couldn't help but feel a little springy.
Let a stunner like Pei Yang be tempted for a few days, and he didn't know the taste of meat for many days, and he was already itchy, this little seven and eight in the room, he may not be able to get what he wants.
Even if you get your wish, you have taboos in your heart and can't let go.
In order to surprise Jiao Chen, he took all the maids away in advance!
"Hey, hey!"
Pei Min stepped forward and took Jiao Chen's little hand and said, "Let's be together?" β
Jiao Chen glanced sideways, but did not refuse.
After a hearty bath, Pei Min and Jiao Chen lay on the bed and whispered to each other.
The topic talked about Gongsun You's body, and Jiao Chen said: "My mother is worried about this matter, Lang Jun can't be sloppy when he marries a wife." With your status, it's not okay to make a small fuss. It's just that there is no one in the girl's mother's house, so it's cold. The mother is afraid that someone will gossip and wronged the girl. β
"Alas!"
Pei Min sighed and said: "Now there is no need to worry about this, Miss You doesn't want to be a wife, and she doesn't want to say anything, I really don't know what she thinks?" β
Jiao Chen looked surprised and said, "How can this be?" β
Pei Min became angry when he thought of this, and said in a sullen voice: "How do I know, if you are good, you will find a reason to refuse, and your attitude is extremely tough, and you can't do anything about her." β
Jiao Chen leaned sideways, moved his head, made his pillow more comfortable, and said, "Did something happen?" I think it's the kind of girl who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and the more she is questioned, the more she knows how to be strong. On the contrary, it is Miss Xi, who is tough on the outside, but she is a little sentimental in her heart, and she can't stand being wronged. If she is not voluntary, no one can make her change her mind. β
Pei Min looked at Jiao Chen strangely.
Jiao Chen speculated: "Maybe Miss You has left a way for the future." β
Pei Min couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
After resting in the mansion for a night, Pei Min summoned Yuan Luqian to meet him on the second day.
Pei Min is most concerned about the situation of the Liangzhou Army now.
As the envoy of the festival, Yuan Luqian is responsible for this part.
learned that Yuan Luqian was in Guazhou and would not be able to return to Liangzhou until tomorrow.
Pei Min also asked Wang Wei to invite Zhang Jiuling, Li Linfu, Wang Changling, Wang Zhilian, Niu Xianke, and Gao Shi to inquire about the political situation in their territory.
Zhang Jiuling was the first minister under Pei Min, and took the lead in saying: "During the period of time when Gongzi went to the east, we were the same as the strategy we had drawn up before, focusing on promoting cultural governance. The main person in charge of this is the young uncle, and he will report to the son. β
Pei Min glanced at Wang Changling and nodded.
Zhang Jiuling continued: "In addition to promoting cultural governance, it is the guidance of the Shule River. Taking advantage of the winter agricultural panic, the people of Guazhou and Suzhou were summoned to open a stream to divert water into Guazhou and Suzhou to supply the water needs of the two places. Due to the urgency of time, I applied for the assistance of the Yumen Army, just in time for this year's mulberry hemp planting. β
"There are also repairs to roads in various parts of Liangzhou, and the gentry in Liangzhou have contributed a lot in this regard. They each funded and recruited migrant workers to build roads, and flattened and widened the five prefectures of Liangzhou, Ganzhou, Suzhou, Guazhou, and Shazhou. He also listed it on the table to assist in the construction of an official road leading to Yizhou and Xizhou, hoping to get the support of the national government. In terms of money, the gentry has almost raised. I calculated that with the money raised by the gentry, we did not need to declare it to the imperial court, and it was enough to rely on our own treasury and the money raised. β
Pei Min smiled: "So good? I remember asking them for money, but it was like asking for money. β
Zhang Jiuling said: "Thanks to the prestige of the national prince, the gentry of all parties are not without money, but reluctant. Successive officials have not opened their mouths to solicit donations, and then they have taken the money and have not done anything. Guogong is different, and directly solves all the bandits in Hexi. In this place where horse bandits are rampant, there is almost no room for horse thieves to stand on. Occasionally, a small number of thieves invaded, and the three generals Changqing, Zhang Xiaosong, and Cui Xiyi were not annihilated. The gentry are now full of confidence in Guogong and believe that Guogong can protect their safety. This road construction not only gains fame, but also facilitates their business, improves efficiency, and can also please a big man like Gongzi, which is a multi-pronged thing, how can they not be happy. β
Pei Min smiled and said: "Zishou, you can do it yourself, pay attention, you can build roads, but you can't work for the people." There are a lot of deserts along the way to Yizhou and Xizhou, and it is not easy to repair a road, so you have to take your time. In addition, you can take the time to gather these gentry, and I will meet with them to show my gratitude. They paid for it, and we can't help but show it. The specific time is for you to consult with the Mahara. β
"Yes!" Zhang Jiuling promised in one bite.
"That's right!" Pei Min thought of his confidant and friend Yan Gaoqing and asked, "What is the current situation in Puchang County?" Can the remnants of Gaochang change? β
Pei Min asked about this, Zhang Jiuling, Wang Changling, Wang Zhilian, Niu Xianke, and Gao Shi all danced with their eyebrows, and together they said that Pei Min's eyes were vicious and he used a good knife on the blade.
Gao Shi, who knows the situation best, said: "A year ago, my subordinates went to Xizhou, passed through Puchang, and learned some information. The first thing Yan County Ling did when he took office was to go through the files of all the prisoners in Puchang County, except for those who really had great evil, all those who could be forgiven were forgiven. At the same time, he reformed the maladministration left over from his predecessor and chose to govern these remnants with leniency. Through these three steps, Yan County Order has been recognized by the people in the county. β
At the same time, Yan County Ling can't help but make friends with the remnants of Gaochang, as long as the other party wins the hearts of the people, whether it is a monk, a Taoist or a witch doctor, it is within the scope of his friendship. While treating the officials of Gaochang relics with kindness, and on the other hand, promoting the ideological and aspiring Gaochang relics. To govern the Gaochang remnants with the Gaochang relics, he temporarily lived in the background, but in just half a year, in order to achieve initial results. β
Zhang Jiuling approvingly: "Yan County has ordered every step of the way, I believe that in less than a year, subtly, these Gaochang remnants will truly become my Tang Dynasty people and accept our control." β
When Pei Min heard this, he also smiled from ear to ear, and was sincerely happy that his brother had arrived.
It is easy to conquer a place, but it is not an easy thing to make a place return to its heart and truly become the inherent territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Let Yan Gaoqing learn a little experience from these Gaochang remnants, and when he conquers Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine state, or Damascus of the Arab Empire, he can appoint him as the local governor and let him win the hearts of Westerners.
Zhang Jiuling continued to say some things.
As a prime minister, Zhang Jiuling handled the important civil affairs of Hexi in an orderly manner.
Wang Changling and Wang Zhilian also organized a meeting of poetry and rhetoric during Pei Min's absence, and also let Confucian scholars study Confucian classics and encourage young students, which set off a wind of scribes in Hexi.
Wang Changling said: "The promotion of culture and education, everything is in progress. The Huaxia Library of Congress is almost built, and I don't know if there is a candidate for the owner? Gan Xu hinted more than once that he was willing to take on this important task. And he is willing to donate all the books of the family to the library, including the full copy of "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn......"
Pei Min's eyes lit up when he heard this, "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn" is a book that gathers the ideas and achievements of Confucianism, Mo, Law, Bing, Agriculture, Vertical and Horizontal, Yin and Yang, etc., and melts the hundred schools of thought into one furnace.
Sima Qian regarded LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn as a thaumaturgy that could be juxtaposed with Zhou Yi, Spring and Autumn, and Lisao.
It's just that after a series of chaos such as Wang Mang's rebellion, Dong Zhuo's move to the capital, Huihuai's rebellion, Hou Jing's rebellion, and the great turmoil in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, many ancient books were scattered.
The same is true of "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn".
But as a descendant of Ganluo in the Qin Dynasty, the Gan family has such good things as the complete book of "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn", and it is no exception.
Pei Min said without hesitation: "You can give him a deputy curator, the position of curator, I have already been selected, and I am on my way to Liangzhou." The young uncle went back and told Gan Lao that if he was willing, he would naturally welcome it, but if he didn't want to, he couldn't help it. β
Wang Changling nodded in agreement, and asked, "But I don't know who it is?" According to the understanding of his subordinates, there are many people staring at the position of the curator, and ordinary people are afraid that they will not be able to get into the house. β
Pei Min didn't mind and said, "My old brother Zhang Xu, can you convince the public?" β
As soon as his voice fell, Zhang Jiuling, Wang Changling, Wang Zhilian, and Gao Shi cheered together.
are also Shilin people, how do the four of them not know the prestige of the world's first calligrapher?
In front of Zhang Xu, the four of them were as excited as little fans.
"Yes, of course!" Wang Changling said without hesitation.
You must know that Zhang Xu's status in Shilin is higher than Pei Min.
Even Zhang Jiuling, Wang Changling, Wang Zhilian, and Gao Shi are all outstanding in Liangzhou Shilin, let alone Zhang Xu?
Next, Li Linfu and Niu Xianke also reported their work to Pei Min respectively.
Pei Min understood them one by one.
All the government affairs in Hexi are developing in an orderly manner and are progressing in a good direction.
Pei Min praised everyone and told them to step back, but left Gao Shi behind.
Gao Shi's task is somewhat special, he is not in charge of the affairs of Hexi, but in charge of the exchanges between the Western Regions and Hexi.
The main battlefield in the future must be the Western Regions, and Gao Shi has military strategy, as one of Pei Min's few military staff, he must understand the Western Regions.
Of course, Pei Min did not overstep his authority and boldly stretched out his hand to the Western Regions, but deepened his contact with the Western Regions, promoted the political ties between Hexi and the Western Regions, and learned about some of the situation in the Western Regions by the way.
It all makes sense.
After all, Liangzhou can become the third economic center of the Tang Dynasty by being located in the middle of the Western Regions, Chang'an and Luoyang, and becoming the center of exchanges between the East and the West.
Now the protector of the Western Regions is called Du Xian and also serves as the envoy of the West Jiedu, this person has served as the Wuzhou Army, Zheng County Lieutenant, Dali Commentator, Supervision of the Imperial History, to the matter, known for his integrity, four years of Kaiyuan, Du Xian was reappointed as the supervisor of the Imperial History, and to the west of the town to audit the affairs of Tuntian. The deputy protector of Anxi, Guo Qianqian, and the Western Turkic Khan Ashina Xian, the town guard envoy Liu Yaoqing and others were at odds and attacked each other, and His Majesty ordered Du Xian to investigate. Du Xian handled it impartially and won the support of the people. In order to thank Du Xian, Fan gave a lot of money, but Du Xian resolutely refused to accept it. Worried about disappointing the affection of the Tibetan people, he took the gold but buried it under the tent. After leaving the Tibetan realm, he sent a letter to inform the Tibetan people, and the Tibetan people chased after more than a thousand miles before giving up. β
Pei Min was relieved in his heart and said: "In this way, Du Xian is a character who can suppress the Western Regions?" β
Gao Shi paused and said: "That's true, Du Dudu is honest, thrifty and impartial in enforcing the law, and has the support of the people of the Western Regions, but he can keep the peace, but the scholarly atmosphere is too heavy,"
Pei Min said disapprehantly: "Literati, it's normal to be a bit of a scholar, why don't you yourself?" Practicing myself, some things will also give birth to some bookish anger. As long as Du Xian is stable in the Western Regions for two or three years, the Liangzhou army will become the climate. Even if there is turmoil in the Western Regions, what is there to fear? β
Longyoubing, Pei Min is not worried at all, they are all strong generals who have followed him for many years, and the Liangzhou soldiers have only been restructured for a year.
Even if Feng Changqing, Zhang Xiaosong, and Cui Xiyi have the ability, it will take time for them to train and cultivate.
A soldier who has been trained for a year is not unable to go to the battlefield, but a real tiger and wolf army cannot be built without two or three years.
