The meal served on the table. Zhang Miao saw that his brother was also coming, so he said what he had been preparing to say. "Uncle Cai, when do you think it is most appropriate to handle the matter of Super Brother and Ling Yuan?"

Zhang Miao's so-called handling naturally refers to the fact that the Ming media is married, which is also a sign of respect and grandeur.

Cai Yong knew that he was going to talk about this matter today, because people couldn't be together, and this matter was a trust, even if they were all in Jinyang City now, the matter would be on the agenda, so after listening to Zhang Miao's words, he looked at Zhang Chao on the side with a smile.

Zhang Chao was also prepared, and when he saw that the eldest brother and his father-in-law were both looking at him, he smiled and said, "This matter is not in a hurry." As you all know, there are still many things to do when I first come to the state, and the things between me and Yan'er can be pushed back, and I think it will be good for the spring next year. ”

Zhang Chao gave an approximate time, which was equivalent to making a promise.

This push is more than half a year, which is obviously a little longer. However, Cai Yong and Zhang Miao acquiesced considering the actual situation. Zhang Chao is now a general worshiped by the emperor, so the marriage naturally can't be too hasty, and it's a good thing to have more time to prepare.

Cai Yong and Zhang Miao both agreed understandingly, which made Zhang Chao very grateful, raised his glass and thanked him, and the atmosphere reached a climax for a while, and the three of them chatted very happily.

At the banquet, Zhang Chao also proposed the establishment of the academy, and asked Cai Yong to go out of the mountain to be a teacher. Now that Bingzhou is his brother's house, he has always wanted to do something for his younger brother, but because of physical reasons, he hasn't touched the gun for a long time, so he thought of changing his martial arts to Wenshi.

Cai Yong was happy that he could do something for his son-in-law, especially the establishment of a academy for the benefit of scholars, so he agreed without refusing.

Between the banquets, the most rare thing, and the most gratifying thing for Zhang Chao, was that neither Cai Yong nor Zhang Miao asked him what he wanted to do in the future.

Zhang Chao's current strength and ability are there, and the Han Dynasty has existed in name only, in such an environment, if Zhang Chao still wants to be a loyal minister, I am afraid that no one will believe it. And it is not an exaggeration to ask Zhang Chao about Zhang Chao's plans as Cai Yong and Zhang Miao. But it is worth mentioning that the two did not have the slightest intention of inquiring. Is it because they can't see it?

Naturally not, but I just don't want to embarrass Zhang Chao.

Zhang Chao is very clear in his heart, and he also thanks them in his heart, or in his opinion, he can only prove everything with practical actions in the future, he must protect these relatives of his own, so that they will not suffer any grievances and dangers in their lifetime.

The banquet went on late, and it wasn't until later that Cai Yong and Zhang Miao were drunk, and the two were obviously drunk because Zhang Chao had his current achievements.

Zhang Chao called Xu Chu and others, sent the two to rest before the bed, and he also said goodbye to his mother-in-law Liu, the future wife of the main room, Cai Yan, and returned to his yard.

Before coming to the hospital, Bai Tong was indeed waiting in the hospital. This woman is always like this, she just thinks about Zhang Chao, and when she sees Zhang Chao appear, she sends a white cloak over.

"Hehe, it's not cold now, so I can't use it." Zhang Chao said with a smile while taking the cloak.

"To use, your physical health is the most important thing now, and there must be no sloppiness. Look, after drinking so much wine, you're tired after a busy day, let Tong'er wait for you to rest. Bai Tong said with a stubborn face.

Zhang Chao is accustomed to taking care of Bai Tong. Knowing that, he would definitely not leave without looking at himself sleeping, so he had to agree, and then the two entered the bedroom together with a smile. And half an hour later, Bai Tong left alone, and Xu Chu, who was in charge of the vigil outside the door, couldn't help but pay attention to it after seeing it, obviously having a deep respect for the second master's mother.

Zhang Chao finally came to Jinyang City and began to fulfill the power of the governor of a state, the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty, or the history of China, from this moment on, will also turn a new page...

With Zhang Chao coming to Jinyang City, earth-shaking changes began to take place in the entire city.

First of all, there are more people on the streets.

These people are all the people who came from Chen with Zhang Chao or some homeless people who met on the road. Suddenly, there were more than 100,000 people in a city, and it was very lively.

There are many people, but there is indeed no sense of chaos in the law and order, and the presence of a legion of cavalry that will walk by on the street from time to time has reduced the crime rate of the whole city to a minimum, even if it is not an exaggeration to describe it as not closing the door at night and not leaving the road behind.

Such a good security environment also reassured the original residents. They were worried that so many more soldiers and so many civilians would threaten their interests, but now it seems that this does not exist.

The new people were called by the government to divide the land in a very short period of time, and when they had something to do, they naturally did not think about other issues.

As the new pastor of Bingzhou, Zhang Chao has not been busy for a moment these days. He had just taken over the task of a state, and there were so many things to do that his brain was running at a high speed. It wasn't until the fifth day that Ding Qi left Jinyang City with some generals and left for Chen, and he also held the first meeting of a large number of people in his own mansion.

In the large conference hall of the state capital, Zhang Chao sat at the head. Sitting on the left and right are Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Lu Su. Sitting on the right are Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Tai Shici.

This is the first high-level meeting held by Zhang Chao after he came to Jinyang City, and everyone attaches great importance to this meeting, because they know that the division of labor about their future work will be determined at this meeting, and the development of the entire state will also change because of this meeting.

It is no exaggeration to say that this will be a historic meeting.

At the beginning of the meeting, it was the people present who reported on the matters at hand. It includes the progress of the infrastructure construction of Jinyang City, the division of the people's fertile land, the relationship with various forces, and some basic information of the army.

Zhang Chaozao listened carefully on the top of the first seat, no matter who spoke, he would stare intently at the other party to show the most basic respect.

From the report, Zhang Chao also learned about the basic situation of Jinyang City's internal affairs and the situation of the army.

Now it belongs to the forces under Zhang Chao, and the army has more than 27,500 people, less than 30,000.

Among them, there are 3,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry in Huguan; Lü Bu had a vanguard army of 5,000 cavalry; Jinyang City has 8,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry, except for the most elite Zhangjia army, which has 1,500 heavy cavalry and 2,000 light cavalry.

There were 130,000 civilians in the area and 30,000 prisoners of war from the Montenegrin army. The area under its jurisdiction is only part of Jinyang City and Shangdang County.

Judging from the total figures obtained, whether it is the army or local rule, Zhang Chao cannot be regarded as an official governor of the state.

Today, the entire Bingzhou region shares six counties, namely Taiyuan, Shangdang, Leping, Xihe, Yanmen, and Xinxing. It has about 44 counties under its jurisdiction.

According to conservative estimates, a county with a population of 10,000 would have more than 400,000 people. Of course, because of the war and the Montenegrin Army, many county towns exist in name only, and they are already ten rooms and seven empty, but even if it is a discount, there will be more than 100,000 people. But in addition to the displaced people brought from outside, there are only 30,000 people in Jincheng City under Zhang Chao's jurisdiction, which has to be said that he is not so much a state pastor as a county guard.

Before merging the state in the future, Zhang Chao had considered all kinds of problems to face, and even thought of the worst situation, but when the facts were in front of him, he was still surprised. I didn't expect things to be so bad.

"This will not work, the army must be expanded, and the population of the people must also increase." After listening to the report, Zhang Chao kept shaking his head, he was very dissatisfied with the current situation.

Guo Jia, who knew that Zhang Chao was in a bad mood, hurriedly comforted, "Don't worry, many people don't know the name and benevolence of the lord now, I believe that as long as they are given a certain amount of time, it will be enough to attract more people." Moreover, the lord accepted all the beauties sent by the county guards and the county government, and distributed them to the generals, which has already expressed enough goodwill, which is a good start. ”

A few days ago, under Zhang Chao's order, the military generals led by Guo Jia all went to the side hall of the state pastoral mansion to bring young women home, and even many people had the status of official wives. This move is indeed the heart of many people who have merged with the state. In addition, Zhang Chao arranged a safe enough back road for Ding Qi, and these actions have made some people dispel their vigilance. This will play a very important role in Zhang Chao's rule over them in the future.

"It's not enough. Some people can't just give benefits, they have to give deterrence. Zhang Chao really shook his head, accepting these women, just to express an attitude, if this can make everyone's hearts together, then he will definitely not believe it. At the same time as candy in one hand, you should also have a stick in the other, so that the two-pronged approach can play the best role. "Fengxiao, but is there anyone else doing against me?"

"This..."Guo Jia didn't answer immediately, but fell into deep thought, obviously he still had some scruples in his heart.

Zhang Chao saw that Guo Jia didn't answer immediately, so he urged: "Fengxiao, you don't have to worry too much, I know it in my heart." For those who obey me, it is natural to treat them with courtesy. But for those who have different intentions, they must be eradicated, there is nothing to hesitate about, this is the principle. ”
