Chapter 1073 Tuntian and Coins

Some words are really hard to put on the table to say, after all. Everyone is an official, and they want to be faced.

Zhang Xi can't tell Pan Jun clearly, mix more sand with Jiaozhou, and find a way to get more displaced people to come to Jingzhou to build Tuntian, as long as there are no major problems, the state pastor can not see that you take the opportunity to fill your pockets This is a big Han hussar general, what should Jingzhou Mu say? !

Pan Jun couldn't ask Zhang Xi openly, in order to make things bigger, can I fan the flames, and even send the army to Jiaozhou to get more displaced people, and get more money and food back. This is not what a Jingxiang celebrity and a Confucian should say.

Isn't this a conversation between the two bandits!!

Everyone is a member of the imperial court, a famous man and a famous general in the world, and he can't speak too straightforwardly. So this conversation became confusing, and it all depended on the tacit understanding between everyone.

Anyway, Pan Jun is too guarded as a party, and there are changes in Linjun, and he still has the right to make some corresponding measures, as for the Dongwu side found out Pan Jun's approach, will it cause turmoil between the two countries, please, it is a troubled time, and the two countries are not allies, but it is just an armistice agreement.

Besides, you Soochow are not much better.

During this time, under the leadership of the new Yuzhang County Taishou Lu Kai, Dongwu also infiltrated the southeast of Changsha County.

Yes, Yuzhang County has changed to a Taishou, or the same Lu Kai who was captured by Shibao in the Battle of Jingnan.

In the Battle of Jingnan, the Han side captured the three generals of Eastern Wu, Lu Kai, Zhang Cheng, and LĂź Ju.

But these three people are not easy to deal with.

Lu Kai is Lu Xun's nephew, Zhang Cheng is Zhang Zhao's eldest son, and Lu Yi is Lu Fan's eldest son.

No matter what, none of these three people will choose to surrender.

can be killed, you can't kill it, after all, at that time, Zhang Xi pondered a truce with Dongwu, and it was not good to stimulate Dongwu too much.

Therefore, all three of them were finally left in custody in Changsha County, and they were not released by Zhang Xi until Buqi returned from Chang'an, and then returned to Jiangdong with Buqi.

Of course, the Dongwu side must have paid some price, otherwise even Zhang Xi would not be so easy to talk about and release people directly.

As for whether this price was paid by Sun Quan or by the three families, Zhang Xi couldn't care about it.

And after these three people returned to Jianye, they also had different lives.

Lu Ju is the worst, he was relieved of all his duties, and there is no way to reflect on it behind closed doors at home, who asked him to guard Changsha County for seven days, and he didn't even give Zhu Ran the opportunity to return to the army to rescue.

Zhang Cheng was transferred to Lujiang County and became the governor of Lujiang County. Although the official position has been reduced, at least he can continue to lead the troops.

Although Zhang Cheng was defeated and captured in the Battle of Jingnan, his performance was okay in general, he has always fought more with less, and he has to take into account the division of troops for Lu Zhi to guard Changsha Of course, the most real reason is that Zhang Cheng has a good father, and his father is still alive.

As for Lu Kai to tell the truth, among the three captured people, Lu Kai was the most wronged.

The strategic deployment was made by Zhu Ran, and he didn't find that the person who divided the troops to drill the mountain was also Lu Dai, and he Lu Kai was inexplicably drilled behind his buttocks.

As for the choice of rescuing Quanling, not to mention that the person in the environment at that time was Lu Kai, even if he was replaced by Lu Dai and Zhu Ran, he would also make the same choice, and the subsequent development of the battle situation also proved that when Shi Bao really led the troops into Changsha County, what kind of ending would it be.

Lu Kai can be said to have made the right choice, and his biggest problem is that he did not succeed in stopping Shi Bao.

Therefore, Lu Kai not only did not receive too much harsh criticism from Sun Quan, but also continued to reuse him, replacing Xie Jing as the new Yuzhang Taishou.

Yuzhang is a place adjacent to Changsha, and there is a cross official road in Changsha County, one of which leads to Yichun County in Yuzhang County.

Lu Kai and Shi Bao met again in Changsha County and Yuzhang County. Well, these two people, in the past two years, have been fighting quite lively at the junction of the two counties.

It's just that neither of them is the kind of person who is desperate for personal grudges and fame and fortune, and they more or less know that now the two families have stopped fighting and always controlled the fight within the scope of border friction.

So, don't say anything about anyone.

Lingdong Wu can create friction on the Changsha border of my Han Dynasty, so why can't Lingling County of my Han Dynasty make some small moves in Jiaozhou?!

Not to mention, by doing so, it can also attract a lot of displaced people and solve the problem of lack of people in Jingnan in one fell swoop.

It's better to be a homeless person than to have no land to cultivate.

Moreover, since it is necessary to build Tuntian in Jingnan, then the candidates for the Tuntian Institute and the Tuntian Governor still have to be carefully considered, and in addition to the matter of re-establishing the sand mint in Guiyang County, it is not something that Zhang Xi can decide alone, so he has to go back to Jiangling first, give Zhuge Liang a tribute, and seek his consent.

The setting of the Tuntian Institute does not require Zhuge Liang to put much effort into it, Zhang Xi did Tuntian when he was in Guanzhong, and now he can copy it in Jingnan according to the gourd painting.

But the candidate for the lieutenant of Tuntian still needs Zhuge Liang's personal help to choose.

It is definitely not possible to choose this Tuntian Governor in Jingzhou, otherwise, it will be too deeply involved with the local family in Jingzhou, and whether this Tuntian Institute will eventually become the same as Cao Wei in the north and become the hidden base of the family, but it is really hard to say.

Secondly, this Tuntian Lieutenant also needs to have a strong background, even if Zhang Xi wants to lead the troops out to fight, or if he is transferred out of Jingzhou, he can have enough confidence to maintain the normal operation of the Tuntian Institute and ensure that it will not be affected.

Thirdly, this Tuntian Lieutenant must also have a certain personal ability, be down-to-earth and hardworking, and at the same time be practical. You can't send a dumb guy who can only talk empty.

After all, in this place of Jingnan, the situation is complicated, not only the power of the big clans, but also the Wuxi barbarians, and even the displaced people brought by Pan Jun may not be Han people, maybe there are also barbarian tribes in Jiaozhou. I can't really hold on without any ability.

This kind of candidate, at least in Zhang Xi's hands, can only be through Zhuge Liang, to screen talents from the talent pool of the imperial court.

Less than two months after this letter was sent to Luoyang, Zhuge Liang was extremely efficient, and he sent Zhang Xi the Tuntian Lieutenant he needed.

It's none other than Zhuge Liang's eldest son, Zhang Xi's son-in-law, Zhuge Qiao.

Indeed, Zhuge Qiao has no special relationship with the Jingzhou family, and his background is hard enough, the son of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty and the son-in-law of the hussar general, no one dares to mess with this identity anywhere in the Han Dynasty.

As for the ability to speak. When Zhuge Qiao was in Chang'an before, he himself served as a dispatch under Jiang Wan for a period of time, in charge of water conservancy facilities, and during the Northern Expedition, he was also responsible for coordinating the allocation of grain and grass under Jiang Wan, and according to Jiang Wan, he did a good job.

And Zhuge Qiao's character is not bad, down-to-earth and hardworking, low-key, if it weren't for this product and a little moral advantage, Zhang Xi would not have married Xiao Xuan'er to him.

So, in such a comparison, Zhuge Qiao is really the best choice for the lieutenant of Jingnan Tuntian.

Just one point, Zhang Xi can't understand you very well, even if Zhuge Liang is righteous and awe-inspiring, and does not seek personal interests for himself, but you let Zhuge Qiao be a Tuntian lieutenant, is it too much? !

Tuntian Lieutenant is not a high-grade official position, and the nature is completely different from that of the commander of the division and the captain of the Qiang Guard.

Although the last two official names don't sound high, they are just school captains, but their real power is very great, and they are basically equivalent to a county guard. Tuntian Lieutenant, but he is really just a lieutenant, not even an ordinary lieutenant in the army.

When Zhuge Qiao was in Chang'an, he was also an adjutant of the state capital, in charge of the water conservancy projects in the entire Guanzhong, and he was also a talent who coordinated logistics work during the war. Let such a person be a captain, you Zhuge Liang is really big-hearted.

But looking back, Zhuge Jun is the third brother of the Zhuge family, the eldest brother is the general of Eastern Wu, and the second brother is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, but he has been working in the position of the right attendant of the Han Ministry of Industry for more than ten years, and he has not even been a left attendant.

What else can you say about this?!

Zhuge Liang is so open-minded, that Zhang Xi can have a fart objection to give his son-in-law a little promotion, and change the Tuntian Lieutenant to the Tuntian Captain, at least it will not make his daughter too embarrassed.

The fathers of the two families are both high and powerful, but the official position of the son-in-law is getting smaller and smaller. There is probably no second such example in Chinese history.

Zhuge Qiao's matter came to an end for the time being, and with Zhuge Qiao's arrival in Jingzhou, he also brought a decision from Chang'an - the matter of rebuilding a sand mint in Guiyang County was rejected by Li Yan of Shangshu Province.

The reason is that the imperial court must have a decision to mint coins, and it is not possible to mint more or less, so it is not feasible to establish a mint in Gyeyang.

As for the matter of the sand smelter, since there are precedents in the former Han and later Han dynasties, the imperial court will not interfere with it, and the rebuilding of the sand refinery can be determined by the state government.

What is this Li Yan!!

Zhang Xi has always had a very bad impression of Li Yan, even if you kill Zhang Xi, Zhang Xi doesn't believe it, Li Yan's decision is really out of public intentions, and this thing must be to use himself to establish authority.

Otherwise, with Li Yan's eyes, he can't see that Guiyang County, a broken place, has no second development path except for using sand smelting coins to obtain financial subsidies? !

Anyway, in Zhang Xi's eyes, Li Yan is Shang Shuling's position is firm, and he is not willing to be under Zhuge Liang and others, and he plans to declare his sense of existence, right? !

Zhang Xi was very unhappy, but Zhang Xi couldn't help Li Yan's reason, that is, Zhuge Liang couldn't refute it, because what he said was indeed right.

It is true that copper coins are not a complete credit currency, but the additional and indiscriminate issuance also need to bear certain risks, which can easily lead to regional price instability, and may even trigger a large number of families to hoard currency, or melt it into bronze. This is contrary to the economic policy formulated by Liu Ba at the beginning.

Money is for circulation, not for hoarding.

Therefore, even though he knew that Li Yan had selfish intentions, but out of public considerations, Zhuge Liang still agreed with Li Yan's refutation, and wrote a special letter to Zhang Xi to appease and explain, so that when Zhuge Qiao took office, he would be handed over to Zhang Xi.

After Zhang Xi read Zhuge Liang's letter, half of his anger disappeared. There's nothing to say, let's go home from work.

When the son-in-law took office in Jingzhou, he naturally brought his daughter back for tonight's family banquet, and his grandson was by his side, so he didn't want to make these troubles.
