Chapter 305: Dominating Chuzhou
And the Xuantian Mansion, which was originally planned to open next year, was also advanced because of Lu Sheng's performance.
In fact, the imperial court already had a set of plans before Lu Sheng's handover, but there are too many uncertain factors in this plan, and the customs and customs of each state are different.
As far as the initial investment is concerned, the initial cost of building Xuantian Mansion in each state is hundreds of thousands of taels. These are just the costs of transferring the town army and the city defense army.
This is not what Ji Zheng is most worried about, what he is most worried about is the forces of all parties, and the supporters behind the various princes wantonly stuff people into it. Six ministries of a cabinet have been rectified. Ji Zheng did not allow the newly established Xuantian Mansion to become a gladiatorial arena for all forces before it began to operate.
Moreover, if a large number of military departments are withdrawn, the strength of the military headquarters will inevitably be weakened. The southern hundred columns are making a fuss, and the countries of the Western Regions have not been very obedient recently. There is also a trend towards the gradual unification of the northern grasslands. Just now, I had some unpleasant trouble with the Wa Kingdom in the east.
The surrounding small countries were not a matter in the eyes of Ji Zheng in the past, because some of the imperial court were famous generals and some were powerful armies. But once too much is transferred, then the military department will no longer be invincible in the world.
It is not what the emperor wants.
At this moment, Lu Sheng's plan was proposed, and in Ji Zheng's eyes, all the plans formulated by the cabinet were rubbish.
This comparison is indeed very hateful. But the obvious difference between height and low, how can so many people with eyes and brains not see?
Lu Sheng's plan is not so unbelievable, nor is it so jerky and difficult to understand, it's just that no one thinks about it. Once a gap is opened, how can so many talented people in the court not be able to perfect the specific details?
In the court, there are those who hate Lu Sheng, those who admire Lu Sheng, and those who envy and hate Lu Sheng.
It's all two shoulders looking at one head, why is Lu Sheng's brain so material? It's also a waist disc, why are you so prominent?
Fortunately, the atmosphere in the court is still very good, there is no upright party struggle, let alone disagreement with the party, opposition for the sake of opposition. If there is a good way, then do it according to the good way.
Therefore, the matter of checking and filling in the gaps for Lu Sheng was done quickly, and Lu Sheng's plan actually did not have many flaws. The premise of the formal plan of this plan is that there is a sentence that the army is impermanent, the water is impermanent, and it is not possible to adapt measures to local conditions.
Now that the plan has been unanimously approved, Lu Sheng should naturally leave as soon as possible.
After all, the Xuantian Academy plan lasts for three years, and in the initial year, there is basically only one brand in the Xuantian Mansion in Chuzhou. To really put in the work, you need to wait until the first batch of trainees graduate.
The deadline for Lu Sheng to leave is ten days, and in these ten days, Lu Sheng needs to sort out all the people who are transferred, and then go to Chuzhou together.
In an instant, all the seven goshawks raised by Jinling Xuantian Mansion were dispatched. Fly back and forth several times a day.
In the afternoon sunset, a rainbow bridge hangs in the sky.
Suddenly, several figures fell from the sky, and at the moment of falling, they all knelt on the ground, "Xuantian Wei Lexi, Bai Yu, Gongsun Ling, Gongzi An, Dong Zheng see your lord." ”
"Do you know the purpose of calling you back?"
"Yes. ”
"Go and hand it over, stay in Xuantian Mansion these days and be on standby. ”
"Yes!" the words landed, and the five figures disappeared in a flash.
On this day, seven or eight waves of people have come to return to their lives.
Each of them made Shen Ling feel distressed for a long time. These are the backbone and blood strength of Jinling Xuantian Mansion, and each one of them is a carefully selected elite. Shen Ling was reluctant.
was taken away, and the people available in Xuantian Mansion had to be re-cultivated. For this matter, Shen Ling almost came to Lu Sheng with a knife.
Even not long ago, Shen Ling asked Goshawk to send him a letter, with only one sentence in his heart. Lu Sheng, are you enough? Don't go too far.
The word "excessive" does not exist in Lu Sheng's eyes.
These elites are going to be the instructors of the Xuantian Academy, and of course they have to select the first talents in all aspects. Otherwise, how can the students who are brought out stand alone?
As for what elites have been taken away by you, what should the other states do? This matter is completely out of Lu Sheng's consideration. Yes, the hands are fast, and the hands are slow. Who let Lu Sheng attack the fastest? The other brother units can only be sorry.
Twelve figures fell. ”
"Suzhou Xuantianfu Spider, Sun You, hand in hand with ten people to report. See your Excellency!"
"You're here!" Lu Sheng straightened up, "Everything has been arranged over there in Suzhou?"
"Don't worry, my lord, everything is in order in Suzhou, and the ten people brought by my subordinates are all elites among the elites. ”
"I am naturally relieved that you brought it, because you are from the branch, so there is no dormitory for you at the headquarters, so you will live in my courtyard these days. There are so many rooms, let Gai Ying take you to pick them. ”
"Thank you, sir!"
The spider happily left with the crowd, and it could be seen that the twelve were very excited. His cheeks trembled slightly as he spoke.
As Lu Sheng's prestige grew, the pride of the people of Suzhou Xuantian Mansion also increased. Because they were the first batch of people to follow Lu Sheng, in the entire Xuantian Mansion, only Suzhou Xuantian Mansion was the descendant of Lu Sheng's lineage.
It was their regret that they couldn't follow Lu Sheng, and when the order came, Suzhou Xuantian Mansion completed almost all the tasks in one day and rushed to Jinling.
Seven days later, under Shen Ling's extreme reluctance, Lu Sheng left Jinling with three hundred people and headed for Chuzhou.
Chuzhou is located in the south of Dayu, and Wuzhou is separated by a Jeju. Here, the Yangtze River waterway will make a sharp turn to the south. As a result, although Chuzhou is also backed by the Yangtze River, its geographical location is much in the south.
The origin of this world's civilization is also in the Yellow River Valley, with the increase of population, gradually expanded to the south, and it took tens of thousands of years of changes to form the current nineteen states.
Although the world is still called the world, the territory of the mythological period may not even have one-tenth of what it is now. Chuzhou is in the south of Wuzhou, and the climate is also warmer and more comfortable.
But because Chuzhou is not as rich in water as Jiangnan, the main product is still wheat. However, because of the suitable climate, the wheat in Chuzhou is also double-cropped every year. The first time was in May, and the second time was in mid-September.
Lu Sheng intended to test the ability of his subordinates to march long distances and quickly, so Xuan Tianwei, who was not allowed to accompany him, used his internal strength to run for a long journey.
For Xuan Tianwei, who was born in the army, although he hasn't practiced for a long time, he has no complaints. But a large group of ministers who were appointed by the imperial court to assist Lu Sheng suffered a lot.
Even if they were in a carriage, running all the way from Jinling to Chuzhou, the bumps on the road could torture them enough.
After five days of travel, the group crossed Jeju and arrived in Chuju. And in these five days, all the civil officials have lost four or five pounds one by one.
If you want to lose weight, you can try it, and half of the meal you eat will be taken out before you have time to digest it, and then it will be stimulated by all-weather, uninterrupted, and continuous vibration. Losing a pound a day is not a dream at all.
When they arrived in Chuzhou, seven or eight weak scholars were defeated by the wind with black eyes. But fortunately, when Lu Sheng arrived at this place, he no longer ordered a group of Xuantian guards to march in a hurry.
The style of Chuzhou is completely different from that of Wuzhou. From the time he arrived in the southwest of Jeju, Lu Sheng had a clear feeling. There are fewer waterways and rivers, and more mountains and mountains.
In Chuzhou, this change is more intuitively reflected in front of everyone's eyes.
Chuzhou is a vast area, with huge plains and countless mountain ranges. Rich land coexists with poor mountains and bad waters. What's even more interesting is that the mountains and plains are extremely evenly distributed. This is not in accordance with the laws of nature.
There are many mountain ranges, indicating that the earth's crust is moving violently. But between the mountains, there are many fertile plains.
Even if you just look at the map of Chuzhou, you can feel that Lu Sheng is a picture of rivers and rivers. The picturesque distribution of mountains and rivers sets off the outstanding people of Chuzhou.
The capital of Chuzhou is Anqing Prefecture, which is located in the center of Chuzhou, radiating to the surrounding 36 prefectures like a heart. In addition to the prefecture city, Chuzhou also has seven independent cities.
The significance of these seven cities in Chuzhou is extraordinary, and three of them are military cities, which gradually developed into cities because of the existence of military towns. Most of the people living in it are military relatives.
The remaining four cities, all of which were once great contributions to Dayu, were fiefdoms, and over time, the fiefdoms gradually evolved into cities. It's like Lu Sheng's Donglai Town. However, Lu Sheng's family is a small rural village, and it can't be compared to the cities composed of those families.
Although the seven independent cities are in Chuzhou, they are transcendent in Chuzhou. Chuzhou is too guarded to manage, and Lu Sheng, the head town of Xuantianfu in Chuzhou, naturally can't manage it.
Of course, not being able to manage does not mean letting it go. They can manage themselves on their own, and Xuantian Mansion will not be set up in these cities. But if they want to commit something in their jurisdiction, then they are sorry, but they still have to do it.
The group came to Anqing Mansion, and Chuzhou Taishou He Xingzhi and Daotai Lu Xiangyang greeted them at the city gate with Anqing officials.
Regarding Lu Sheng's arrival, to be honest, He Xingzhi and Lu Xiangyang were not very welcome. As a state guard, He Xingzhi is the second rank of the feudal official Lu Xiangyang is from the second grade.
Originally, they could cover the sky with one hand in Chuzhou, but there was Lu Sheng, the main town of Xuantianfu, who was the second grade. However, Xuantianfu is independent and directly responsible to the emperor outside the cabinet.
This is equivalent to hanging a knife above the heads of the two of them, and in their opinion, this Xuantian Mansion General Town is equivalent to the minister of the Qin Mission.
Although he said that he didn't do bad things in his life, he was not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. But no one wants a ghost living in their one-third of an acre of land, right? The feeling of a knife hanging over their head is really unpleasant.
It's useless, people are already here. As soon as Lu Sheng came, it was equal to three points of the world. is also a second-grade official, and he should have the face he should have.
Therefore, after He Xingzhi learned about the itinerary of the group, he came to wait outside the city gate of Anqing Mansion early.
After Lu Sheng learned about it, he got out of the carriage from a distance and walked to the city gate with a group of men.
"Lord Lu, welcome, welcome to Chuzhou!"
"He is too polite, how can Lu He be too polite, how can he and Lu Daotai go out of the city to greet each other? Flattered, flattered——"
