Knowing that Bai Tu was going to bow to him, Cao Bang was very moved and ...... Heh, he.

Bai Tu didn't force him - well, that is, if you don't give me the opportunity to exchange hostages, it's no wonder that I can't blame me!

"Thank you King Chu for your love, and please treat my brother well after King Chu, Zihuan is not small, when it is time to consider marriage, my parents are not around, and I want King Chu to help me more." Cao Bang mentioned Cao Pi.

"Zihuan? Isn't he only sixteen? Bai Tu said with some surprise.

Sixteen years old, still a virtual age! In Bai Tu's view, he is still a little child, and he is still at the age when he falls in love in the next life.

"It's too early, it's too early." Bai Tu thought and shook his head.

Cao Bang: ......

She forgot that the King of Chu in front of her was only married at twenty-seven or eight!

However, Cao Bang only mentioned that at the age of sixteen, most of the people, especially small families, may have already married, but in the wealthy families and the descendants of the scholar family, the real marriage at the age of sixteen is actually a little early, and it is generally just engagement, or starting to look for a target.

If Cao Pi really can't leave for a while, helping him arrange the marriage is also what Bai Tu should do as a landlord.

"If Zihuan has any ideas, you can come to me and talk to me, but ...... At this age, you still have to be affectionate and polite, and you must pay attention to your body, too early is not good for your brain. It's Anguo, you...... If there is someone you like in Jinling, I can call the shots for you! Bai Tu said seriously.

Cao Bang is already close to the crown, but he is a little thin......

"Foreign ministers don't have to worry about the King of Chu, although Jinling is very good, but I don't like it." Cao Bang pouted.

"Hey, since that's the case, then Anguo is also ready to prepare, let's set off with me the day after tomorrow, it is estimated that you will be able to reach Wancheng in three months, and then you will be able to reach Xudu in one day." Bai Tu saw that he failed to win over again, so he had to let go of this idea first.

White Rabbit's western tour of Jingzhou is about to take place, although it is a publicly-funded trip, but there is still a need for Baitu to be busy during the period.

It is mainly the source of the rainbow for the local officials in Jingzhou, as well as the pacification and ascending of the Nanjun scholars, as well as going to Nanyang to "expand" the talent sequence.

Although after Jingzhou was incorporated into the Chu State, many officials in Yangzhou were directly appointed to the past, but considering that the date of Jingzhou's annexation was still short, most of the grassroots officials were still from local backgrounds.

Even though Baitu has begun to dilute the concept of "state", at least in the short term, it cannot erase the difference between "Jingzhou" and "Yangzhou" in the hearts of the two people.

During this western tour, appeasing the grassroots officials was also a very important goal.

In Nanjun, many civil and military officers who were in Jingzhou Mansion before are now in seclusion at home even if they don't cause trouble......

Directly serving the Chu State, they are still a little embarrassed, it is impossible for the Naxian Pavilion to accept the Xian Pavilion...... In a few years, they may be "recommended" to go out of the mountain one after another.

Of course, if Bai Tu goes to invite him in person, many of them will come out half-pushed, otherwise if they are placed to play for too long, they may be blackened at home!

For this kind of thing that is just a lack of face, Bai Tu doesn't mind solving it.

In addition, in Nanyang, there are many bigwigs and talents who live in seclusion, such as Pang Tong's uncle Pang Degong, such as Mr. Shuijing Sima Zheng, such as their students, including Xu Shu, Meng Jian, Cui Jun, Shi Tao...... and the most famous "Nanyang Zhuge Lu" - Zhuge Liang is now also living in Nanyang!

These people Bai Tu went to invite, and they may not be invited, for example, Pang Tong reminded Bai Tu before, don't expect to invite his uncle to come out......

But after all, you have to ask for a chance, and if you don't ask, in case you go to someone else in the future, you don't know and think that Bai Tu doesn't know people!

If it was when Bai Tu had just arrived in Qu'a, no matter how many celebrities and sages in Yangzhou left, no one would think that this had anything to do with Bai Tu, the titular Yangzhou pastor.

But now in the Chu State, if there are talents who leave and are reused under other princes, it will be an invisible blow to Bai Tu.

So this trip to Baitu must go......

It is best to be able to recruit the best, if not, we must also strive to pull the relationship and give them an honorary title - Cao Cao and Cao Pi also did this in history, but if they catch up with the stubborn, they will not be honored.

Bai Tu didn't feel that he could be admired by everyone, nor did he feel that his charm was really much higher than Cao Cao.

Therefore, Bai Tu does not have to ask for anyone's mind, but he has already made up his mind, if he can't do it, he must often say "It's a pity that so-and-so will help me in the future", and if anyone votes for another account in the future, he must also say "born so-and-so, God helps so-and-so".

In a word...... If you can't get the title, you will be awarded the honorary title, and if the title is not accepted, you should also mention that the local officials do not forget to greet and solve the difficulties of life during the New Year, and they really have to go...... They must have been filled with full milk!

As long as the milk is in place, these people will make a difference in other princes in the future, and others will feel that Bai Tu has the wisdom to know people, but if he does not do anything...... Others will also feel that it is the other party's lack of ability to know the master, which leads to being buried.

In itself, this is also a means to enhance its own attractiveness, and blood is not lost.

In addition, in addition to talents and people's hearts, Bai Tu also plans to do some field investigations, and then gradually start to improve the local government system.

The county system, which began in the middle and late Warring States period, did benefit the Warring States heroes who changed the law one after another, as well as the two major dynasties of the Qin and Han dynasties.

However, the times are changing, how quickly the productivity increases, how quickly the county system will fall behind, and the reason why Baitu wants to stabilize after the founding of the country also has this consideration.

You can't be in a hurry, and you can't be in a hurry, after all, the speed of industrialization will not wait......

Two days later, Bai Tu's western tour was completed, and it was specially placed half a month after the "personal welcome", that is, on the first day of the fifth month.

It is another day of rest, and the officials of the six ministries come to see them off, and it will not take up working hours......

In addition to Lu Lingqi, who was the queen of Chu, there were also the privy envoy Lu Bu and Huang Chengyan, who was suspended as the Taishou of Nanjun, and two of the five palace scholars.

The other six departments all dispatched squires or chief bookkeepers to assist Bai Tu in county investigations.

This refers to important people, as for unimportant people, such as secretaries...... That is, Shang Shulang Zhang Chunhua, send-off friend Cao Bang and the like, no one cares.

Although only a small part of the concrete road has been paved and the main road is not covered, the signal towers have been completed.

As long as Bai Tu doesn't go to Zhangling and Jingnan, even on the road, the speed at which important information is delivered to him will not be too slow, or even ...... It's faster than sitting and waiting for news in Jinling when there is no signal tower!

The guard of honor and the guard, Bai Tu tried to keep it simple, and strictly ordered the counties along the way not to disturb the people, but the team still had the size of several thousand.

This is one of the "drawbacks" after becoming the king of Chu, once when he was in Qu'a, Bai Tu could still take a dozen people out of the city to hang out.

And......

Although there are plenty of horses and war horses now, the speed of the team cannot be improved.

Because every time he passes through a county, Bai Tu must take a look at his face, otherwise the king of Chu passed by but did not enter the city...... Do you have an opinion about local officials?

Fortunately, before the appearance of cement, all parts of the country were unremittingly building roads, and there was also the convenience of waterways, which made Baitu arrive in Jiangxia in early June......
