The cold winter in the northwest is long and cold, and heavy snow covers the plateau grasslands, lofty mountains, rivers and lakes, and it seems that there is a sense of withering outside. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Luo Zhaoyun stopped leading troops for the time being, and concentrated on learning the affairs of civil affairs, involving the economy, commerce, household registration, fields, granaries, canals, snow disasters, etc., many things need to be approved by him, even if it is only eight counties, but the workload of this kind of politics, military, law, etc., which requires him to sign, is not small.

Fortunately, he has more than 1,500 years of new vision than the people of these times, so he will not look at problems narrowly, and can always find a solution and a safe way, stabilize the eight counties, and promote development.

Even the eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui, Zhu Suiliang and other young handsome people, full of history books, can be outstanding, seeing Luo Zhaoyun's annotations, they all feel that the young marshal has the talent to govern the country, and he is happy in his heart, this is the hero of civil and military all-rounders, and he is most suitable for being the lord and winning the world.

If you command and lead the troops, you will be invincible, but if you don't know how to govern the people, you will only be like Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, who is brave and invincible when fighting, but once the armistice is over, the development of governing the country will not work, basically abandoning the government, can't sit still in the study, and has no ability to review the folds, only knows how to go out hunting and accompany the beauties, and finally ends up in a siege.

In the final analysis, a person who does not know how to govern the country is at most a hero, who is glorious in troubled times, but will be defeated in the end, because he does not know the people's livelihood, and it is rare to win the hearts of the people.

Within a month of the beginning of winter, Luo Zhaoyun was busy expanding the army and assigning the people, formulating household registration and promulgating new policies, demarcating the administrative divisions of counties and counties, rectifying military discipline, recruiting talents, sending officials to counties and townships, systematically spreading out his leading groups, and doing a good job in the work of people's livelihood at the grassroots level.

In addition, Luo Zhaoyun also visited some tribes in the eight counties in the northwest, such as the mixed Huisu tribe, Tiele tribe, Xianbei tribe, Rouran tribe and other cottages and ethnic groups, they moved to the northwest a hundred years ago, or even longer, the tribe migrated to this northwest, followed the Han mixed population, or formed a large tribe of its own.

Luo Zhaoyun personally visited the larger tribes, met with the chiefs, understood their needs, deepened each other's impressions, and connected with each other, there were many things that needed their support, cooperation, and obedience.

In this way, the ruling power of the Northwest Young Marshal's Mansion was consolidated, and it had a great propaganda and pacification effect.

On this day, Luo Zhaoyun finally returned from condolences to several cities and counties, and met Xue Zhiqing, Yu Shinan, Yao Silian and others in the Hongwen Hall in Jincheng, who were cooking wine and appreciating the snow and listening to Xiao Fu's poems.

Approaching the Hongwen Pavilion, he suddenly heard a melodious and melodious flute sound, tactful and melodious, like a heavenly sound, Luo Zhaoyun couldn't help but feel relieved, because the troubles caused by thinking about many trivial things were also a lot lighter.

Many talented people who came from the capital were placed in the Hongwen Hall, where in addition to the Confucian lectures, many local scholars came to visit and exchange.

There are regular application information for various positions, breaking the previous way of recommending and sheltering the imperial court, you can apply for self-recommendation, and then pass the assessment, you can be admitted as an official and sent to the local government, the center, etc.

Therefore, dozens of scholars who rushed here quickly moved out of the Hongwen Hall and were transferred to the local area to be county clerks.

Today, Yu Shinan, Kong Yingda, Ouyang Xun, Yao Silian and others are sitting in the bamboo pavilion and listening to Xue Zhiqing blowing the hole flute.

Everyone wore cotton robes and robes, a charcoal stove was placed in the middle, and bamboo curtains were hung around the octagonal pavilion to protect from the wind, and through the entrance of the unhung pavilion, you could see the snow scene outside.

There was a pond beside the pavilion, but the water was frozen and covered with a layer of snow, and the vines that grew from the rocks inside had dried up and frost hung on it.

However, there are a few plum trees next to the bamboo pavilion, which are blooming refreshing plum blossoms, and the fragrance is faint.

Luo Zhaoyun approached and saw Xue Zhiqing in a fox fur, with a delicate face like jade, a tranquil temperament, and a slender green onion and white jade fingers pressed briskly on the turquoise cave flute, and a wisp of clear and soft voice immediately floated out, gracefully turning.

He did not go up to disturb the scholars and spoil the mood of the literati, but stood under the tree and waited.

Xue Zhiqing was completely engaged in her own performance, not noticing that someone outside was approaching.

After a while, the distant sound of the flute subsided, and after Xue Zhiqing finished talking, in addition to applause in the pavilion, there was also the sound of clapping outside the pavilion.

Xue Zhiqing suddenly looked up and saw the young marshal approaching, that figure, that face, although she hadn't seen it for several years, she still remembered it vividly, because the impression in her mind was too deep.

"Miss Xue is not only outstanding in writing, but also so extraordinary in flute skills, which makes Luo feast his ears."

"The young marshal has won the award, in fact, Zhiqing didn't expect that in addition to leading the troops to fight, the young marshal was so handy in governing civil affairs." Xue Zhiqing replied with a word of praise according to what he said.

"I've seen Guogong!"

"I've seen the young marshal!" All the talented and sages got up and bowed their hands.

These people are called differently because of their relationship with Luo Zhaoyun.

Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly and said, "Call me the young marshal, I'm used to it, come, everyone sits." ”

Seeing that the young marshal was so polite, everyone did not put up a fight, but they all sat down and gathered around the fire.

"How many habits can you live in?"

Yu Shinan couldn't help but say: "Back to the young marshal, has adapted to the climate of the northwest, although the culture and education here are backward, but now there is a hundred wastes to be revived, the economy, commerce, post posts, museums, markets, medical shops, etc., are all rising in the city, I heard that the local reopening of primary schools, schools, young marshal's move to promote education, will promote greater development of the northwest." ”

"This is not our final stop, but it will be a place that I value, the people here, and the foundation of my Great Sui people and the Young Marshal's Mansion. I invite all of you talents to come here, but also in the hope of greater cultural education, to improve the cultural level of the northwest, in the future, I need your more help. Luo Zhaoyun said very politely.

"As long as the young marshal orders the arrangement, we will do our best and will definitely be willing to serve."

"Yes, young marshal, we can't serve in the army with swords, crisscross the battlefield, and quell the chaos, we can only make some efforts in culture and education."

In fact, Yu Shinan, Kong Yingda, Ouyang Xun and other well-known scholars with outstanding literary talents and talents have learned about the changes and new strategies of the eight counties in the northwest from Yao Silian, and they admired the young marshal's governance ability.

Only Xue Zhiqing didn't have the heart to work in her career, she just came to the northwest for this person, and at this moment, her eyes had a complicated and difficult to understand taste.
