Maozhou is subordinate to Chengdu Fu Road, and the seat of governance is Wenshan, which is a Qiang settlement area, but there are also a large number of Han people.

Along the way, Ming Jian saw giant pandas and saw a lot of primitive things, not many crops were planted, and there were many grazing ones.

The folk customs are indeed very fierce, and the people carry weapons in their bows and arrows, so that if the enemy invades, it can be said that an army can be organized to fight immediately.

When he arrived at Wenshan, where the government was located, Ming Jian went straight to the Yamen of the Maozhou prefect.

And next to the prefect's yamen, it turned out to be the General Soldier's Mansion, Wang Gui happened to come out of the General Soldier's Mansion, and when he saw Ming Jian riding over, he was stunned.

However, he quickly reacted, and hurriedly rushed to the front of the Ming Sword Horse with the left and right, kneeling down and saying, "The minister and the king visit the official family!" ”

"Yo, Wang Aiqing, I didn't expect you to be here, get up and talk." Ming Jian smiled.

Wang Gui got up and hurriedly said: "Official, quickly follow the ministers into the general military mansion, if there is a mistake, the ministers will die and will not be able to escape the blame." ”

Ming Jian said: "Wang Aiqing, where is it that you said so seriously, I have to go to the prefect's yamen first, and you can come in too." ”

Wang Gui hurriedly persuaded: "The official family, it is safer to go to the General Military Mansion, and the official family only needs to send someone to Xuan Governor's Mansion to come over." ”

Ming Jian's face sank, and he said, "Wang Gui, did you have anything to do with the prefect?" Why did you prevent me from going to the prefect's yamen? ”

Wang Gui's face turned red, and he said loudly: "Official, where is it?" It's just that this prefect is a mixed-race Qiang and Han man, and when the minister was recruiting soldiers, he was blocked by him, and he had a lot of complaints about the official family, and the minister was worried that he would have something to do with the official family. ”

Ming Jian snorted and said, "Wang Gui, look at what reason you said!" This is also my concubine, she is a Qiang person, she has a deep affection for me, will the Qiang people definitely be unfavorable to me? Wang Gui, since ancient times, civil and military discord is a taboo, when you first came to Maozhou, you had an unpleasant quarrel with the prefect, can the work be carried out in the future? If you are marching and fighting, can't you rely on the prefect for your logistical supplies? When the time comes, he'll stumble on you, and I'll see you won't be able to eat and walk around! Let's go, I will make peace for the two of you today, so as not to affect the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty in the future! ”

"Yes, the minister is guilty!" Wang Gui's face turned even redder, and he followed Ming Jian into the prefect's yamen.

The official at the entrance of the yamen didn't know Ming Jian, but he knew Wang Gui, and when he saw Wang Gui with his head down behind Ming Jian, he knew in his heart that this must be a big official, at least bigger than Wang Gui.

"Your Excellency, please!" A servant said boldly.

Ming Jian smiled at him and said, "Are you prefects here?" Let him come out, and say that I have personally come to inspect the work of Maozhou! ”

Hearing the word "I", the officials were startled and involuntarily knelt down.

"See the official family!"

Ming Jian motioned for everyone to get up, and the official who had just greeted him ran in quickly, and after a while, a tall and burly man came out.

"Chen Wenyuan, the prefect of Maozhou, visited the official family!"

The man prostrate on the ground and shouted respectfully.

Ming Jian stepped forward to help Chen Wenyuan up, and after carefully examining him, he found that this person was a man of all talents, although his strength was only 75, but his intelligence was 88, and he was a local master.

Name: Wenyuan Chen

Force: 75

Intelligence: 88

Politics: 85

Health: 80

Comprehensive evaluation: the talent of the governance party.

"Chen Aiqing doesn't need to be polite, I came this time without prior notice, Aiqing can do it simply." Ming Jian smiled.

Chen Wenyuan didn't expect Ming Jian to be so approachable, he was very excited, and then looked at Laba Zi behind Ming Jian, he was even more surprised, who would have thought that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty would be with a Qiang village leader? And looking at the expression, Chen Wenyuan knew that the two of them had a leg, this Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was really unexpected.

He hurriedly said: "Official, please inside!" Come on, watch the tea! ”

Entering the backyard of the prefect's yamen, Ming Jian found that Chen Wenyuan was still a very thrifty person, and the whole village looked very old, and it looked like it had not been renovated for a long time, and it was the house left by his predecessor.

"Chen Aiqing's style is simple, I appreciate it very much, come on, sit down, let's talk about the next step in Maozhou."

Ming Jian said.

After everyone sat down, Ming Jian first inquired about the conflict between Chen Wenyuan and Wang Gui.

It turned out that everything was caused by Wang Gui's forced conscription.

Ming Jian stipulated the division of civil and military affairs, and the prefect and the general army were generally in charge of their own affairs, but Maozhou originally had no military attaché, and Chen Wenyuan was also in charge of the military.

After Wang Gui came, he took out the appointment documents of the cabinet, and Chen Wenyuan immediately handed over the military command.

It's just that Wang Gui was a little anxious and ordered to forcibly recruit Maozhou men over the age of 18 to join the army, and Chen Wenyuan quit.

The total population of Maozhou is less than 300,000, and once all the pro-prime people are brought into the army, how will the local economy develop?

Therefore, Chen Wenyuan and Wang Gui quarreled, and the two argued.

The matter has been sent to the governor of the city, but there is no reply.

After hearing this, Ming Jian's brow furrowed, and he tapped his fingers on the table, pondering.

Conscription is imperative, and the number cannot be small, otherwise it will not be enough in the face of such a huge Tibetan territory.

The time limit for the Ming Sword to destroy Tubo was very short, because the various departments of Tubo were not as good as before, and they were not the opponents of the Song army at all.

Of course, we can't all be requisitioned, otherwise there will be no one to farm, where will there be food to eat?

After thinking for a while, Ming Jian said: "It's all to blame for my poor consideration of this matter, and I asked for it too quickly. In this way, I see that the scope of conscription has expanded, not limited to Maozhou, I will give you a handwritten message, Wang Gui, you take it to the governor of the city, and the entire Sichuan Gorge can be conscripted. ”

Wang Gui was overjoyed and said: "Thank you official! ”

The edict was quickly written, and Wang Gui put it away, with a smile on his face.

Ming Jian continued: "In the Maozhou region, the Qiang people should account for half, right? But the Qiang are torn apart, and I intend to reunite them and give them a queen to rule over them, what do you think? ”

Wang Gui immediately objected: "Officials can't!" The Qiang people have been the henchmen of all dynasties since ancient times, and now they are finally placed under the rule of the imperial court, and they must not be allowed to threaten the imperial court again! ”

"The official, the minister thinks it is feasible. Although the Qiang people are ruled by the imperial court, but their folk customs are different from the Han people, under the rule of the ministers, there will be disputes between people of different nationalities every day, fights and even death, if it is divided and ruled, it can make Maozhou develop more rapidly, and the society is more stable, but the queen is the candidate, must be close to the official family. The minister suggested that starting from the official family, every Qiang king should be served by the heir of the official family! ”

Chen Wenyuan, however, put forward a different view.

Ming Jian nodded and said, "Actually, the Qiang people just want a stable space, and I didn't bring them a good life, it's my fault!" Her name is Labazi, she is my concubine, I have promised to make her the king of Qiang, and the king of Qiang in the future, choose from her heirs, you must assist her well, first unify the Qiang tribe, and then send advanced farming and grazing methods to the Qiang tribe, build houses, markets, roads, and bridges, so that the Qiang and Han people can be completely linked, live together, and make progress together. Of course, in this way, the source of soldiers in the army will also be considered more, the Qiang people have lived on the plateau for a long time, and with them joining, it will be easier to deal with the Tubo people, and it will also be beneficial to deal with the Tangut people in the future. This matter is so decided, Wang Gui, you immediately choose an elite army, and go with Labazi to pacify the Qiang tribe, if you encounter obstacles, you will be killed! ”

Wang Gui was overjoyed and said: "The minister obeys the order! ”

Labaz also said: "Little sister, thank you, big brother! ”
