170. The Imperial Power Goes to the Countryside (3rd Month Pass)
What happened in the Tianshu Palace, except for the person concerned, no one knew about it.
Although Gu Hechuan, who was in Longnan County, was curious that Tang Ze had not returned, he soon left it behind.
The arrest of the two Eighth Realm cultivators made the pair's Guardian Experience Points rise by a large margin again, and now it has reached 4,100 points.
Compared to the 7,000-point upgrade demand, it is currently more than half.
But next, how to raise the nearly 3,000 points left behind, which made Zhang Dongyun scratch his head a little.
He earnestly hoped that the two dynasties of Western Chu and Southern Liang would raise troops to take revenge on him.
They can come on their own, or join forces with the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
But unfortunately, the two dynasties of Western Chu and Southern Liang did not seem to react.
It's as if Tang Ze and Lu Chen have nothing to do with them at all.
This made Zhang Dongyun quite unhappy with Tang and Lu.
To be honest, Tang Ze is just that, the person walking in the shadows is really going to have an accident, and the official can't wait to get rid of the relationship with him.
But Lu Chen is different, the old man is all over the world in Nanliang, and his friends are everywhere.
As an old friend of King Liang today, he even came to the palace of Nanliang at will.
You Nanliang left the old man here, saying that he didn't care about it, it's not appropriate, right?
It's a pity that no one in Southern Liang and Western Chu took the initiative to go to Chang'an City.
No one was sent to the door, and no one was sent to take the initiative to inquire about the news.
It was as if nothing had happened before, and the city lord Zhang, who was waiting for them to take revenge, was extremely disappointed.
He instructed Tianxian Hall to pay attention not only to the internal movements of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, but also to other dynasties outside the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
It's just that Tianxian Hall has not been established for a long time, and the personnel framework has just been built, and it obviously takes a long time to cover the network to cover the entire Eastern Tang Dynasty, and even the two dynasties of Western Chu and Southern Liang.
Zhang Dongyun also knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, so he could only add a large amount of funds to them first.
After Chang'an gained a firm foothold, various appearances began to flow automatically, and several pillar industries played their own roles.
Although the treasury is not abundant now, it can at least provide some money for the Blood Shadow Elder to scatter coins to open the way.
Sometimes when the money is in place, a lot of things go a lot better.
So as time went by slowly, a month or two later, a system prompt sounded in Zhang Dongyun's mind:
[The internal framework of the intelligence and news department has been preliminarily established, the external network has been initially dispersed, and the city lord has completed the construction task 6.1 and obtained 1000 points for upgrading experience]
The content makes the cold and boring sound of the system a lot more pleasant.
Zhang Dongyun is satisfied with the refresh system such as the task list:
[Construction Task 6.2 - The city is expanding, the area and population are surging, please further build the grassroots responsibility department of the city lord and strengthen the control and management of the territory]
Not...... This task looks simple, but it's actually very difficult...... Zhang Dongyun said in his heart.
What the system says is true.
At present, the scope of Chang'an City's responsibility is already very large.
Not counting the external affected places such as Hexi and Yun, only counting the current coverage of the system, the amount is already very broad.
At the same time, the population is booming.
Even if the northwest area was not the original densely populated county of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the population is now huge within the direct control of Chang'an City.
If you want to manage effectively, you need more people.
There is an invincible city system, and the city lord Zhang does not have to worry about the problem of the imperial power not going to the countryside.
But he didn't have the energy or interest to go and care about how many people ate and drank Lazar alone.
City Lord Zhang always wanted to save worry and effort.
He also needed a large administrative apparatus.
Before the Tianshu Palace, the interior was divided into six courts, mainly staying on the upper floor of the center.
The construction of the lower vein needs to be further expanded to avoid being top-heavy.
It is necessary to implement vertical leadership, and even mobilize every household with an order, rather than the clansmen and villagers to call the shots.
In order to be effective, the traditional concept of kinship at the bottom of the current society first needs to be improved.
Coercion can be coercion, of course, but to make progress together, it still takes some means and a lot of time.
However, no matter what you do, you always have to take the first step.
Zhang Dongyun was thinking while projecting Mr. Wuyun.
Then, he summoned Zhang Chong, the elder of the Dahe Longmen, and Wan Li, the dean of Tingshan Academy.
Zhang Chong and Wan Li both went to Hexi County to fight.
After Hexi was all under the control of Chang'an, they handed over the rest to the disciples around them, and they rushed back to Chang'an City.
After listening to Mr. Wuyun's instructions, Zhang Chong and Wan Li said in unison: "I respectfully follow Mr. Order." ”
The two of them walked out of the Tianshu Hall together, and they were silent.
After walking for a while, Zhang Chong suddenly spoke: "Wan Lao, what do you think?"
"Elder Zhang is polite, just call the old man Wanli. Wan Li said.
Zhang Chong smiled slightly: "Please ask Brother Wan for advice." ”
"Don't dare. Wan Li was silent for a moment before he spoke again: "I don't know if this is what Your Majesty meant, or Mr. Wuyun's meaning, but this matter is ......"
"After this matter is successful, the control of the Heavenly Pivot Hall will penetrate into every corner of this land. ”
Zhang Chong continued with his words: "Anyone, anything, from the bottom to the top, can no longer shake the rule of Chang'an, so the people can only rejoice that Your Majesty is not a faint monarch and tyrant like King Tang." ”
Wan Li sighed: "Brother Zhang is cautious. ”
Zhang Chong also sighed: "I am rejoicing, and then pray that His Majesty's successor can be as virtuous as his old man." ”
Wan Li said: "As long as the country and the people can be safe, everything will be fine." ”
"I thought so too. Zhang Chongyan said: "Since the errand is handed over to us Dahe Longmen and Tingshan Academy, then we will get things done." ”
He turned his head to look at Wan Li: "We have not arranged for local forces such as the Hanshan Sect and the Thunderbolt Sect to assist us, and the meaning of the Tianshu Hall is very clear. ”
Wan Li nodded silently.
The relationship between the Hanshan Sect and the Perak Sect and other sects is intricate and intertwined with the local authorities.
It can almost be said that every cultivator of the Cold Mountain Sect and the Thunderbolt Sect, when he goes to Xiangjian and among mortals, his family must be a local hero.
Even if the family was poor before, it must be prosperous now.
On the ground, there must be entanglements of interests.
It is not uncommon for a large family to run rampant in the township.
"If it's good for the people, do it. Zhang Chong said categorically.
"yes. Wan Li nodded, and then asked, "By the way, I don't know if there is any news from the Dragon King now?"
When Zhang Chong heard this, his expression suddenly darkened: "There is no news, King Tang failed to kill the head of the sect at the beginning, but after he hid in the territory of Northern Qi later, there was no news, and we all don't know where he is." ”
"I believe that Ji people have their own natural appearance. Wan Li comforted.
Zhang Chong sighed: "I hope so." ”
In the following days, there was a big movement in Chang'an City.
The so-called "big" does not mean destroying the world and turning mountains and seas.
It's not a high-level cultivator war.
Rather, it refers to a wide range of impacts.
Within the scope of the system's influence, there are more than 1.57 million square kilometers of land boundaries, and most of the people in Longbei County and half of Longnan County are all exceptions.
Many people's ideas about their ancestors are being shattered.
It is directly under the jurisdiction of the Tianshu Palace, and each state capital and each township has branches.
At the end, go directly down to every village.
Even if the edges of the Longling Mountains are scattered, the sparsely populated small mountain villages have never been spared.
In the village, there was suddenly an organization called "Xingluo", and there were special staff stationed there.
The common people did not understand at first.
The clerk's explanation is that under the rule of Chang'an City, every village in the countryside and every street in the city are stars under the rule of His Majesty.
Countless stars are under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Pivot Palace.
Every star, every village, every person, is His Majesty's people.
Your Majesty's people only need to abide by the rules laid down by Your Majesty, and no one may violate them, and no one may trespass them.
Initially, there was a lot of turmoil.
But everything quickly subsided.
Compared with the changes in the lives of the people, this time it is more about influencing the cognition that has been passed down from generation to generation and is deeply ingrained in their minds.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun watched all this with satisfaction.
In the previous life, there were many reasons why the imperial power of the feudal dynasty did not go to the countryside, such as the cost of information transmission, low productivity, and the pressure of survival, and people naturally grouped together in clans......
But none of this is a problem here in Chang'an City.
Comparatively, it is more difficult to gather enough manpower to turn into stars and scatter them to various villages.
There are too many requirements, and in some places the environment is too long and difficult.
Zhang Dongyun also needs a large number of personnel echelon construction.
When I first started, I could only use methods such as the transfer of my place of origin to parachute in foreigners and set up a framework for the time being.
In the future, we will continue to improve professionalism and improve literacy and ability.
The Hanshan Sect, the Thunderbolt Sect, and even the local forces in other state capitals were mostly quiet this time.
The matter was handed over to Dahe Longmen and Tingshan Academy, which was actually the attitude of the high-level leaders of Chang'an.
Guo Zi and Wu Qiong, who received the hints, had flexible minds and took the initiative to lead the disciples of the Hanshan Sect and the Perak Sect to assist, in order to earn impression points in front of His Majesty and Mr. Wuyun.
With their help, things are a lot easier.
While laying out the basic administrative network, Zhang Dongyun did not forget another thing.
Huang Xi, the head of Tianfeng Mountain, cooperated with Chen Yu and others from Tiangong Palace, dispatched a large number of people, and gradually established the weapons factory and officially put it into production.
Moving the people of Tianfeng Mountain from Longnan to Longbei County as a whole, and spending manpower and material resources to transport iron ore from Longnan, Zhang Dongyun is naturally not idle and has nothing to do.
In addition to strengthening the control of the weapons factory, he also ordered Shang Jie of Dahe Longmen to go to the territory of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
When Shang Jie was managing Chang'an East City, she established a friendship with the elders of Ice and Fire Valley, a famous martial arts family in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
The Valley of Ice and Fire has always been as famous as Fog Sky Peak and Shuofeng Academy.
The reputation outside the Northern Qi is even louder than theirs.
Because the Valley of Ice and Fire is extremely good at refining blades, the large area it has mastered is even more produced by refining the Treasure Breath Beacon Iron.
After joining the Beacon Iron, the Valley of Ice and Fire produced blades and became famous in all directions.
Many of the blades of the Eastern Tang Dynasty were purchased from the Valley of Ice and Fire.
Shang Jie went to the Valley of Ice and Fire this time, successfully helped the weapons factory, and negotiated with the other party for the next long-term business.
