The Cabinet Hall, a circular conference hall.

The circular hall is very large, divided into two parts, the inner court and the outer hall by the bead curtain, the main meeting is in the inner court, and those who can enter the inner court to hold a meeting are either feudal officials or ministers.

Most of the people who are entrenched in the outer hall are with the county officials, the long history, the main book, or the county order of the county seat, and these deputies come to Beijing with the county guard and prefect to observe, that is, they come to the county to observe.

The conference was huge, nearly 1,000 people.

The great meeting of the inner court is in full swing, and the county guards and prefects are facing the look of the cabinet ministers at the meeting, and they give full play to their abilities.

There are those who show off the prosperity of the territory under their jurisdiction, and there are those who cry that they are not enough, and the first effect that this meeting cabinet originally wanted to cause, the sense of local competition has been achieved.

"This time, Huiji County is in the limelight!"

In the outer hall, hundreds of people sat cross-legged, one by one, looking at the figure in front of them, listening to the inner courtyard, the voice of the Huiji County guarding Langlang's wound, and someone whispered in his heart.

"Who says no, once the Jindong Dachi Road is completed, it will be directly connected to Jinling and Dongzhi, and the fast ones can go once in three days, which can benefit not only Dongzhi Port, but also the entire Huiji City!"

There are also people who can't help but make a voice of envy.

"When will the direct road from Jinling to Changsha be opened, the development of our Changsha will definitely not be weaker than them!" A Changsha county master gritted his teeth.

"You want to be beautiful!"

A person next to him said mockingly: "The king has already said that he wants to develop." It's going to build roads, but it costs money to build roads, and the Ministry of Industry is about to fall out with the Ministry of Households this year in order to repair roads! ”

"Kim Nam galloped. Jindong Dachi Road can be established, and Jinling to Changsha is not very far, why can't it be established! ”

"The South China Sea is a project in the period of the first king, and Dongzhi is good luck, before the king conquered Xichuan, this road was built, that is because of the sea outlet, and now the king is about to conquer Xichuan. How can so much money be wasted on the galloping road! ”

“……”

The chief registrar of these parties gathered in a group, listening to the meeting inside, and expressing their opinions.

"Brother. Where are you? ”

In a corner, everyone was listening intently to the council in the inner courtyard, and a young man in brocade walked quietly from the outside. Sit in an empty chair. Squinted at a silent middle-aged man beside him and asked with a smile.

"Hello, it is the long history of Goryeo Mansion in the next place, Gao Hao!" When the middle-aged man heard this, he hurriedly raised his head, glanced at the young man with some surprise, and then introduced himself.

"Are you Korean? You speak the words of the Central Plains very fluently! Sun Quan's heart moved slightly. Said with a smile.

It is not surprising that Goryeo Province has a long history of using Koreans.

"Hmm!"

The middle-aged Korean man nodded and said, "My father is Goryeo. My mother is a native of the Central Plains, I grew up in Xuanwu in Liaodong since I was a child, and I returned to Goryeo at the age of twenty-five, so the language of the Central Plains is my mother tongue. ”

Goho was an official requisitioned from the territory of Goryeo by the prefect of Goryeo Province, and the predecessor of Goryeo Province was, after all, the Goryeo Kingdom, and 90% of the people under its jurisdiction were Goryeo.

Using the Goryeo people to rule the Goryeo people, this is the policy set by the Northeast Provisional Governor's Office, the Governor Gongsun Du, and the results are not bad, and now Goryeo and Mahan have stabilized a lot.

"I'm the deputy of the six ministries of the Cabinet!" Sun Quan said nonsense.

The deputy is the deputy, most of them are the squire, the deputy of the servant, these officials are not of high rank, but they are in the center, and they are more spectrum than ordinary county officials.

"Oh!"

Gao Meng suddenly realized and said, "I understand, you are an official in the center of the imperial court, and you are also here to observe?" ”

"The cabinet only holds a gathering meeting of the feudal officials once a year, and for such a grand meeting, the younger brother is just qualified, so come and listen to the words of the adults!"

Sun Quan was humble for a moment, then changed the topic and asked, "By the way, I read this year's Goryeo Mansion newspaper, and I heard that Goryeo Mansion is developing well now!" ”

"Of course, among the three counties and two prefectures in our northeast, except for Liaodong County, our Goryeo Mansion has developed the fastest!"

Gao Meng said proudly: "Our Goryeo Province has a sufficient population, a large land and abundant resources, and the county keeper does not distinguish between the Goryeo and the Wu people, if we can use the Goryeo people, we can naturally develop rapidly."

In the past, the country of Goryeo was too backward, but now with the support of the Northeast Governorate, the land of Goryeo is changing day by day, and our people can have enough food, brocade clothes and satin, and winter to keep out the cold! ”

"Not bad, not bad!"

A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Sun Quan's mouth.

Goryeo only surrendered last year, and now it has only been a year, and it is already remarkable to be able to stabilize it, and it can still develop, Gongsun Du is indeed capable.

At this time, the voices around the conference table in the inner courtyard became louder and louder, and there were also obvious noisy sound waves.

"Our Shangjun is a frontier county, not only to face the plundering of the enemy, but also to develop the economy with peace of mind, and we need more support from the cabinet, not too much!"

"You say it nicely, don't we need to support these coastal counties?"

"That's all the cabinet pays in taxes for a year, and you will have to support the Xichuan campaign in the coming year, as long as you maintain self-sufficiency in your border counties, you are not satisfied, is it possible that you still want the cabinet to put the big head on you!"

"If you want to develop and progress yourself, you have to figure out your own way, why put the difficulties in the cabinet!"

“……”

The quarrel inside became more and more intense, Sun Quan's brows couldn't help frowning, and then quietly stood up and left the outer hall.

"King, it seems that these scholars are not much more elegant than the military coarseness!"

Li Nie's figure walked up and whispered.

"Now the officials have attendance every year, if they want to be promoted and make a fortune, they must first have political achievements, at this time, whoever is Svenwen is a fool, how much can he earn from the cabinet, and naturally fight for as much!"

Sun Quan didn't get angry, but smiled. "This spirit of competition is a good thing for local development, and we will also participate in it!" ”

said. The two walked into the inner courtyard through a door on the left, and at this time the people inside had a serious quarrel, and they did not notice the existence of two more people.

"King!"

The first to find Sun Quan's figure was Lu Su, his eyes lit up, he quickly stood up, and then bowed even. walked out of his position and greeted him: "Didn't you say that you won't show up at this meeting?" ”

The cabinet consulted Sun Quan, and Sun Quan meant that he hoped that the cabinet would be able to do a good job of the process of this meeting.

"Lonely is not at ease. Just come and listen! Sun Quan waved his hand and said in a low voice: "You find an inconspicuous place and let you sit alone for a while, you just want to see." How did you guys go! ”

"No!"

Lu Su found a corner place. Let Sun Quan and Li Nie sit down, and then he himself sat next to Sun Quan, and analyzed Sun Quan in a low voice: "Zhang Zhao Shoufu proposed that in the coming year, the household department will spend 10 billion yuan to invest in the construction of the place, so now they are fighting one by one, and they all hope that this money will fall into their own hands!" ”

"Ten billion? Lao Zhang's big spending! ”

"What's the matter, he's just a gimmick!" Lu Su said in a deep voice: "In the coming year, the household department can have five billion put into the place." It's already good, ten billion. Don't even think about it! ”

"But he's done a good job with this gimmick!"

Sun Quan is not surprised, the battle of Ichuan in the coming year, the waste of money and the people, the cabinet will be so generous, he shrugged: "He put this gimmick out, it will naturally cause a wolf howl, these county guards the prefect, whether it is far away or entered, who doesn't want to live a better life in the places under their jurisdiction!" ”

"Not to mention, Zhang Shoufu's move has indeed triggered a fiery heart in this group of feudal officials, and the atmosphere that was a little depressed before has now begun to swell!"

Lu Su smiled and said: "It's just that Zhou Shangshu's face is not very good!" ”

"Of course he's upset!"

Sun Quan raised his head, his eyes narrowed slightly, and looked at Zhou Yu, who was sitting on the flank of the first place, with an iron face: "Ten billion, according to the budget and taxes made by our Wu State next year, it will probably account for one-third."

Zhang Zhao is obviously taking his household to open the brush, if he can't do it well, it's the fault of the household department, the household department has no money, so the cabinet broke its promise, this is the household department is guilty, and to do well this is the credit of the cabinet, the cabinet is the first assistant to be bold, for the public and the people, painstaking! ”

"At the previous cabinet meeting, Zhang Shoufu showed some weakness and ceded power to Zhou Shangshu, but now he has a counterattack, and this breath is back, and Zhou Yu is still brushed by him, an old fox!"

Li Nie gloated.

"Zhou Yu is smart and smart, but compared to Zhang Zhao's calm and moderate, Taishan collapsed in front and changed color and the old fox, there are still some shortcomings, his talent is actually in the military, he is the most suitable candidate for the captain, let him come to work in the internal affairs and people's livelihood, in fact, it is a bit overkill!"

Sun Quan sighed.

Although Zhou Yu is a civil and military all-rounder, both military and political, however, his military talent is higher than that of handling government affairs.

"Who dares to put Zhou Gongjin in the military now!"

Li Ne said coldly: "You don't dare, the king, and neither does the general Pan Feng, once he returns to the military, then Jiang Hou's influence in the military should not be eliminated in this life!" ”

"Huh!"

Sun Quan smiled, remained silent, and continued to listen to the meeting.

At this time, the cabinet meeting was already at its most intense, and the prefects of all parties were bound to win the greatest support of the cabinet despite the shameful tearing up.

"Everyone, my Wuling County is about to face Xichuan in the coming year, you are cleared, the war is together, Wuling will inevitably be devastated, Wuling wants more than one, it's not too much!"

Wuling County is law-abiding and filial piety, and he can't take care of too much Sven at this time.

"Fajun Shou, it's not right for you to say that!"

Someone said coldly: "Wuling is a big county, and it is not a day or two to face Shuchuan Ba County, and it is not that there has been no war over the years, the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion has already strongly supported you, and Nanjun and Jiangxia are relied on, what else do you want?" ”

"If you want to talk about support, it is also that our Xuanwu County is more serious, last year's war, we were ten rooms and nine empty!"

Sumen took the opportunity to intervene.

"I think the Su County Guard is polite!" Yin Luxun of Jinling Mansion said with a smile.

“……”

"These people who are the only ones in charge of our Wu Kingdom, a few of them are good!" Sun Quan listened for a long time, his eyes narrowed slightly, looked at the faces, and said in a low voice.

"Hmm!"

Lu Su nodded and said: "Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong are also looking at them, and they plan to find some talents from among them to supplement them into the cabinet and the six ministries, you also know that the cabinet and the six ministries are actually only a half-shelf, and they have not been completely perfected!" ”

"Good!"

Sun Quan stood up, patted his clothes, and said in a deep voice: "The cabinet has done a good job in this regard, Lone is very satisfied, and rest assured, Lone will not hinder your meeting, after the meeting, Lu Su, you hand over a meeting record to Lone!" ”

"No!"

Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

"Lao Li, let's go!"

Sun Quan walked out of the cabinet hall through the small door of the conference hall, and Li Ne followed closely behind, and when they walked out of the cabinet hall, it was already the time when the sun was shining.

"Lao Li, what do you think of this annual gathering meeting of the feudal officials proposed by Lone?"

Sun Quan put his hands behind his back, walked under the light of the remnant sun, and suddenly asked.

"The king has a good idea!"

Li Ne thought about it, and then said cautiously: "Before, Weichen thought that the cabinet did this, wasting money and hurting the people, and the effect was not great, and the final result was nothing more than a gathering, but now that I think about it, Weichen is a little ignorant, and the king's intentions are far-reaching!" ”

"It seems that there are some insights, let's listen to it, what is the purpose of Lonely?" Sun Quan turned his head and glanced at Li Nie.

"The king's purpose is only one, to strengthen the centralization of power, right?"

"Huh!" Sun Quan just smiled.

"Power since ancient times can lose people's hearts, control a county or a place of government, will make people's hearts surge, there is a saying that the emperor is far away, too far away from the center, they sometimes can't grasp their rights and give birth to ambitions, and the annual cabinet gathering proposed by the king can sober up their mood!"

Li Ne organized some language and continued to analyze: "Only by establishing the majesty of the cabinet and the majesty of the imperial court in their hearts can they remember that they are a member of the officials of the Wu State, not a hegemon!" ”

"Haha, Lao Li, you have analyzed Lone's mentality in detail enough!"

Sun Quan laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Lone let you be a disgraceful brocade guard, Lone is really a bit overkill!" ”

"Wechen is very satisfied with this position!"

Li Niebi said respectfully.

"Some things are destined, if you have never had the identity of Li Ru, Lone really hopes that you can become the first cabinet minister!"

Sun Quan sighed.

"The king's weight, Weichen can't be repaid, today's status and rights, Weichen is already satisfied!"

Li Nie's face was expressionless, and he said lightly: "Now Weichen's only wish is to see Da Wu dominate the world, in exchange for a bright and prosperous world!" ”

Li Nie is Li Ru, and now it is an open secret for many people in the world, time can forget many things, but it can't erase the facts.

The name Li Ru used to be too loud, even after ten years, it has never been forgotten by the world.

What he has done is destined for him not to be able to go to the surface, and he can only die in the position of the governor of Jinyiwei.

To put it mildly, if Sun Quan dared to carry him out and walk towards the cabinet, the first person to die in front of the palace gate would definitely be Cai Yong, who was a scholar.

There are not a few great Confucians who hate Li Nie to the core, these Confucians are all from the Han Dynasty, and the Wu State they accepted is not waiting to forget the Han Dynasty.

Li Ru, the murderer buried in the capital city of Han and Emperor Shaodi of Han, they naturally will not forget.

"On the day when Dawu dominates the world, Lone will give you back a dignified and upright one, reappearing in the world, right and wrong, what are the merits and demerits, Lone will bear it!" Sun Quan gave a promise in a deep voice.

"Thank you, King!"

Li Nie's eyes were a little moist, and he nodded heavily, what the result was, he didn't care, there was a lord like this, he died without regrets. (To be continued......)
