Chapter 1140 Two states, the eastern army returns
As the imperial examinations and schools were rapidly implemented throughout Youzhou, countless feedbacks were also gathered from all over the country, and finally summarized in the General's Mansion.
Although Chen Zhi's name has changed after the dragon sacrifice ceremony, this has not affected the original plan of the General's Mansion in the slightest.
A series of measures and policies on the imperial examination were introduced one after another, and under the auspices of Sun Xiu, with Youzhou as the center, it expanded to the two sides of the annex and Pingzhou.
At the same time as the imperial examinations, there was also the construction and absorption of these two states.
However, because of the different situations, there are also differences in the way of obtaining them, so there are obvious differences between the construction of Pingzhou and Merge Prefecture.
As a state with mixed situations, Pingzhou's ruling foundation is actually not solid, even Wang Jun in the past, in fact, did not actually rule there, most of the officials sent by the imperial court are only names, and have no binding force and execution, at most they can only control the territory of one county.
This situation, after being plowed by Zhang Fang with the Xuanjia army, did not change much, but it planted the seeds of fear in the hearts of these tribes, and now the general's mansion will send people to govern, and with the help of this shareholder wind, some grassroots and non-governmental organizations - such as clans, townships and other social structures have been built.
This is a transitional stage, in fact, it is a deep-seated change in the local economic structure, if everything goes well, in Chen Zhi's words, Pingzhou's economy is likely to be integrated into the Central Plains Economic Circle, which is the foundation for long-term peace and stability, and lays the foundation for some follow-up measures.
Compared with the complicated situation of Pingzhou, the situation of the state is not necessarily good, Gai was ruled by the Xiongnu for several years, although the population structure has not changed, but the structure of the power layer has been affected, printed with a strong trace of the Xiongnu in China.
Especially after the dragon sacrifice ceremony, Liu Cong's father and son were killed in public, which is very taboo after all, so that the merger state, which has been a little calmer, has given birth to many waves, although under the strong suppression of the Xuanjia army, it is difficult to cause storms in the end, but it is inevitable that there are some undercurrents, and they are accumulating more and more in various places.
However, with the launch of the school, one county after another has been gradually infiltrated, and the control of the military government over the annexed states has been improved in a short period of time, and it can be expected that it will not be long before it can be reached a higher level.
Relying on the secret yamen such as the secret spy department, with the carrier pigeon communication in various places, plus the upcoming construction in various parts of the state, the relevant news will be summarized in the general's mansion.
Chen Zhi is now looking at a feedback on public sentiment in various parts of the state and has made instructions.
When he had finished this and had lunch, someone came to report that there were more and more envoys sent from all sides, and that they were going to receive them when they were going to receive them.
"Even Liangzhou in the west has sent an envoy over, waiting for you to summon it below." Chen Ju said that he knew the news, but he was actually helping a few friends to ask Chen Zhi what he meant-some of his friends were in charge of reception.
After hearing this, Chen Zhi smiled and said, "It's time to see them, it's not a matter of hanging them all the time, so let's do it, tomorrow night, I will arrange a dinner party and invite all the envoys from all parties to come, so that they can feel at ease." ”
At this moment, Chen Ju was a little uneasy, he said: "These envoys, some of them are okay, they are sent by the Central Plains forces, they are all aware of etiquette, but there are many, involving the tribes outside, usually do not know the majesty of the Celestial Empire, ordinary wine banquets, I am afraid it is difficult to make them fearful, besides, there are hidden dangers when so many people gather together." ”
He was reminded of the recent spout of assassinations, so he was worried.
"There is nothing to be in awe of," Chen Zhi shook his head with a smile, "If they don't know awe, they won't appear here at all, and as for this safe thing, there is no need to be demanding, they have their own arrangements." ”
After saying this, he suddenly paused, and added: "Then the envoy of the Murong clan, you don't need to invite them first, let them stay first." ”
What's the situation, Murong Clan's is in trouble?
Like the thoughts of the surrounding forces, Chen Ju also determined that Xuanjia was invincible, as long as it was next to the forces in Youzhou, whenever it encountered the situation of the Xuanjia army sending troops, there was absolutely no possibility of victory.
Therefore, as soon as he heard that Chen Zhi deliberately emphasized the matter of Murong's envoy, Chen Ju immediately thought of the rumored Murong family's behavior in Pingzhou, as well as the news of contacting the Youzhou family in private, and couldn't help but make a judgment.
When the news spread from the General's Mansion, there were not a few people who had similar thoughts to Chen Ju, and even the envoy of the Murong clan himself had such thoughts, so under the cold hands and feet, he had to fight his spirit and write a letter to the clan, wanting to explain the situation.
However, when he sent the letter outside, he was really trembling, for fear that a few Xuanjia soldiers would rush out of somewhere, hold him, and prevent him from communicating with the clan.
Luckily, none of this happened.
It's just that when the envoys from all sides gathered for the dinner on the second day, the envoy of the Murong clan became more and more anxious, like ants on a hot pot.
Especially after the dinner, all kinds of anecdotes about the banquet were circulating everywhere in the city, such as the envoy of the Tiefu Xiongnu Department who was straightforward, the envoy of the Tuoba Department who spoke wittily, and the envoy who was full of poetry and writing.
But it made the envoy of the Murong Department more and more unable to sit still, and he couldn't figure out the mind of the general Zhengbei, and he asked to meet several times, but they were all rejected, so that the other envoys and city sergeants who were still calling him brothers and sisters avoided him.
This Murong envoy's heart became even more anxious, he knew very well that if the surrounding tribes had a good relationship with Youzhou, how could the Xuanjia army be embarrassed to fight, in other words, wouldn't it be only their Murong tribe that became the best target?
This situation lasted for four days, and after Zhang Fang returned with the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Expedition and returned to Chen Zhi, the envoy was extremely worried!
When this Captain Zhang fought in Pingzhou, he could be said to be the direct opponent of the Murong Ministry, and he had the opportunity to directly confront Murong Hao, the son of the Murong Ministry.
"How is the clan going to deal with it? What does the general want to do with it, it's really a hurry! ”
When the envoy was anxious, the Captain Zhang, who was being nagged by him, went to meet Chen Zhi as soon as possible and told him about the Eastern Crusade.
"Zhang Jun's expedition to the east, hard work, the original intention was just to calm the border troubles, but I didn't expect you to bring back a Pingzhou for me as soon as you went."
When Chen Zhi and Zhang Fang talked, the atmosphere was very relaxed, and both sides sat on the Hu chairs, as if chatting.
Zhang Fang also knew the modesty at this time, and he was really in awe of Chen Zhi, so he said: "The merit of the subordinates may also be meritorious, but compared to the lord's, as the saying goes, the little worm in front of the moon is nothing to worry about!" ”
