Chapter 52 Appointment
"Ladies and gentlemen, what should we do about this decree?" Jang Jae didn't forget the purpose of inviting them over. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Chang Lin asked, "I don't know what the lord's ambition is?" ”
In fact, this is also a piece of Zhang Zai's heart, after all, he has a knife hanging over his head, and with the ability of the system, it is too easy to erase himself.
Xu Guangqi and Wang Xiang also looked at Zhang Zai, and they also wanted to know what Zhang Zai's goal was.
Zhang Zai looked at the three of them and vaguely said his ambitions: "Coerce the universe." ”
Chang Lin's eyes were shining, the concept of coercion over the universe was very big, and the soldiers were in the world, and one side said that Lone could be regarded as coercing the universe, and even won the Ninth Five-Year Plan.
No courtier wants his lord to be unenterprising, besides, after this period of getting along, Chang Lin and Wang Xiang have been completely convinced by Zhang Zai, and now even if Zhang Zai says that he wants to reach the top of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, they will definitely help him with all their might.
Since Zhang Zai was ambitious, Chang Lin continued: "Lin thinks that the lord should be edicted. ”
"Why?" Jang Jae asked.
"If the lord has the heart of ambition, this Yanmen is not enough to forge ahead, when the map is other land, and within the state, the Hetao area is enough to support the people, and now there is a holy decree issued, we will first take the state, and then send the general to garrison Xihe, Shangjun and Shangdang, and wait for the change in the pass, send troops to occupy Guanzhong, and take this as the foundation, and serve the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate, and should be able to dominate the world." Chang Lin has a lot of research on the situation in the world, the Han family exists in name only, and I heard that Zhang Zai is enterprising, so he said the plan that he had already thought of in his heart.
In fact, Chang Lin is more optimistic about Jizhou, but Jizhou Han Fu is quite popular, and his subordinates are not weak, not to mention, there is Taihang Mountain between Yanmen and Jizhou, Zhang Yan and others gather in the mountains and forests, which is also an obstacle to Jizhou, in addition, the royal family still exists at this time, if there is no imperial order, the name of Jizhou is not correct, and the words are not good, so they can only go south to try to pass the middle.
Of course, it is too early to say this, and the most important thing at the moment is to take control and annex the entire territory of the state as soon as possible.
Now that all three of them supported his call to become a state vicar, a new question arises, how to deal with the marriage mentioned in the holy decree?
As a prince, his marriage can no longer be completely decided by himself, and it is indispensable to involve politics and the issue of heirs.
Of course, Xu Guangqi and the three of them hope that Zhang Zai's backyard can spread as soon as possible, so they all hope that Zhang Zai will marry Cai Yan and Diao Chan, not to mention that Cai Yan is still the daughter of the great Confucian Cai Yong.
"But what about this Zhen?" Zhang Zai is worried about the problem of the Zhen family, after all, he has been hired, his name has been decided, and he suddenly changed from a wife to a concubine, this gap is so big, I am afraid that there will be a dislike with the Zhen family, not to mention that the marriage date on the holy decree is the same day as the original marriage to Zhen Rong, it is like being robbed of his relatives suddenly.
At present, he still needs Zhen's financial help, and without this help, I am afraid that the finances will be tight.
Chang Lin said: "Lord, this matter can be informed of the Zhen family first, after all, His Majesty personally gave the marriage, and the incident happened suddenly, and the Zhen family has nothing to say, moreover, the identity of the lord is not what it used to be, he is a businessman's family, and it is already a great luck to have a woman marry the lord, if they do not agree, they can regret the marriage, Jizhou businessmen are not only the Zhen family, as long as the lord speaks, I believe that there will be many businessmen flocking to him." ”
"Tatsu seconded." Xu Guangqi knew that Zhang Zai and Zhen Yan were married, but he still agreed with Chang Lin's words, although the Zhen family had made a great contribution to the development of Yanmen, they also got a lot of benefits.
The literati looked down on merchants since ancient times, thinking that they were all vampires, and although the three of them were full of wealth, they also had limited vision due to the times, so they also looked down on merchants a little.
After thinking about it, Zhang Zai said: "In this way, Zhen is a flat wife, and he marries him as a wife." ”
"Flat wife?"
The Eastern Han Dynasty implemented the system of "one wife and multiple concubines", so the three of them had never heard of the theory of equal wives.
"The status of the flat wife is greater than that of the concubine, but lower than that of the main wife, the marriage is postponed for some time, and the auspicious day is re-selected, if the Zhen family does not agree, the marriage contract will be canceled, and the matter will be handled by Uncle Xi." Zhang Zai explained the status of Ping's wife, and then handed over the matter to Wang Xiang, and at the same time instructed him to visit Hu Zhao first when he arrived at Wuji.
Seeing that Zhang Zai had made up his mind, the three of them didn't say much, but looked at Zhang Zai one after another, since Zhang Zai was already a state pastor, the officials in the state could be appointed and dismissed by themselves, and they were all waiting for Zhang Zai's decision.
At this time, the southern Xiongnu of Bingzhou was entrenched, occupying Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang and most of the Xihe River, that is, the Hetao Plain, it was not difficult for him to send people into the Taishou Mansion, but the Xiongnu were out of the control of the Eastern Han Dynasty, if there were no elite soldiers, I am afraid it would be difficult to maintain the management of the county, as for the upper county is in a state of no one to control, and it also needs a general, thousands of elite soldiers, and the rest of the party is occupied by Zhang Yang, with 20,000 or 30,000 troops under his command, and there is no need to consider it for the time being.
Zhang Zai sadly found that all he could occupy was one county of Taiyuan, and the government decree could only reach two counties, which belonged to the territory of the Han Dynasty, and had begun to shrink to such a point at this time.
At present, he has three Chinese ministers and four military generals, and after thinking about it, Zhang Zai said: "Guangqi, in this cloud, Wuyuan, Shuofang and the three counties of Shuofang are concurrently served by you, Dingxiang, Yanmen is handed over to Bohuai, Xibo Ren is not driving, and he goes to Taiyuan with a certain person." ”
As for the military aspect, he planned to have Xue Rengui as the governor of the five counties, and Zhang Liao as the deputy general, to stabilize the border and at the same time eliminate the Xiongnu entrenched in the Hetao area.
If he wants to integrate and develop the resources of the state, and take the state as the foundation, he must take back the Hetao area.
The reason why Zhang Zai sent Xu Guangqi out was also because he was good at governing the local area, often had some creative inventions, and could help production, and put him in the Hetao area, which was the most suitable person, plus the assistance of Xue Rengui and Zhang Liao, in a few years, he might be able to develop the Hetao into the granary of the state.
Of course, everything is based on the expulsion of the Xiongnu, or the subjugation.
During Zhang Zai's year and a half in Yanmen, the grain stored was enough to support his conquest of the Xiongnu.
Now that the official arrangements are in place, next, Zhang Zai plans to meet this strange woman in the late Han Dynasty first-Cai Yan.
Cai Yan and others were arranged in an independent courtyard in the backyard of the Taishou Mansion, which is generally the place where the wife and concubine of the Taishou live, although Cai Yan did not marry him, but the name has been decided, and he was arranged here.
In this backyard, only Cai Yan and Diao Chan are currently arranged here, Cai Yan is Zhang Zai's wife, Diao Chan is a concubine into the backyard, and the others are arranged to the place where the maid lives.
After the initial apprehension, the hearts of the two women also temporarily settled down, and along the way, the people they saw were all rich and well-fed, and the people of the neighboring Taiyuan and Shangdang County were simply different from the mud.
When it comes to Zhang Zai, the people simply want to praise him to the sky, and describe him as invincible and loving the people like a son...... As long as they appreciate people, they can always be on Zhang Zai, and they simply regard him as a saint, so they are also very curious about Zhang Zai.
