The reason for maintaining the status quo was also to defend Fuso on the other side of the sea.

Although this battle annihilated the pirates who had endangered Dongzhou for more than ten years, and it was regarded as a change of peace for the local people, behind the pirate group was Fusang, who was eyeing the tiger.

If we relax our vigilance and merge a state, if the army of Fuso comes to attack one day, the life and death of the people of this state can be all in the hands of one person.

And if this person does not have the position of governor to check and balance, it is a big family, and the territory is so wide that not one person can manage it.

In order to prevent Fusang, it is better to divide and rule according to one state and two states, so that even if Fusang comes to attack, Qiandongzhou can also enter the battle as soon as possible, and Houzhou also has enough time to prepare and provide food, grass and troops.

Su Qi'an did not object to this, but supported it very much, not only from the perspective of the vast area of Dongzhou today, but also in order to return to Beijing in the future and prepare for not being pinched.

Although the Dongzhou war had a wide range of troops and suffered heavy casualties, it finally calmed down the war and put down the bandits, which was a great achievement.

Don't look at Su Qi'an, he hasn't returned to Beijing yet, but there are a lot of discussions about him, and he has made remarkable achievements, so if he really intervenes in the situation of the partition of Dongzhou.

Many ministers in the DPRK and China will 100% impeach him, and they will take the opportunity to control the entire Dongju on the grounds that he is selfish.

This piece of land in Dongzhou is very important to Da Liang, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a cash cow, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it.

In particular, the pacification of this war made many powerful people in the DPRK and China blush at Su Qi'an's current administration of Dongzhou.

If it weren't for His Majesty's hand-picking, Su Qi'an would only stay for two months, and if it was too long, Su Qi'an would have to be impeached to death.

At this juncture, Su Qi'an has to be cautious in any step.

There is no problem with the current division of Dongzhou, the former Dongzhou is still dominated by Wu Dingguo, and there are not many opinions in the DPRK and China, Wu Dingguo's contribution over the years is obvious to all, plus he is an old minister, and his identity and reputation are very high, if someone moves him, he can only say that he has a sick brain.

Now the point of controversy is Dongzhou in Houjiu County, Su Qi'an has been in Dongzhou for four or five months, plus this battle of Dongzhou, the three main state-level officials in Houdongzhou have been served by Su Qi'an.

There is an urgent shortage of state-level officials in Houdong Prefecture, and Su Qi'an has discussed with Wu Dingguo for a long time, and recommended two new officials to the imperial court.

Su Qi'an's recommendation was basically unhindered and passed smoothly, and the reason why it went so smoothly was not that the ministers of the court woke up, but that Su Qi'an received Su Xuanyong's support.

During the two-month administration of Dongzhou, as long as it is not too aggressive and dangerous, it is basically agreed to all of them.

This recommendation was a process and was quickly approved.

Su Qi'an recommended two people to the imperial court, one was Fang Jingzhi, the commander of Yanglai County, and the other was Fan Chong, the governor of Dongzhou.

Fang Jingzhi served as the acting state cheng, and Fan Chong served as the state lieutenant, and recommended these two people, which can be regarded as the most suitable candidates at present.

Don't look at Fang Jingzhi as just a small county order, but to be honest, such a polishing at the grassroots level, as well as the administration during this time in Dongzhou, does not lose to any county guard.

It is absolutely possible for him to serve as the acting state minister, originally Su Qi'an wanted to directly nominate him as the state minister, but Fang Jingzhi did not agree.

He knew Su Qi'an's kindness to him, understood that he had paid for so many years, and did not discover his talent, and now that an opportunity platform appeared, Su Qi'an would naturally recommend it with all his might.

He is reluctant to be a direct governor, mainly because he is afraid of bringing trouble to Su Qi'an, don't look at this month's governance, Su Qi'an is very beautiful, but there are many eyes of the court staring at him, just waiting for Su Qi'an to make a mistake.

On the other hand, he has been a grassroots county magistrate for so many years, and he has been promoted several levels at once, and it is nothing to ask him to manage a county or a county, and now he is in charge of a state government affairs all of a sudden, and he really has to give him time to get acquainted.

Fang Jingzhi's concerns, after Su Qi'an thought about it again, he could understand it, and without compulsion, he took a step back and changed it to Daizhou Cheng, so that he could not only have time to familiarize himself, but also play the duties of Zhou Cheng.

As for Fan Chong's Dongzhou Lieutenant, he was not so troublesome, and with his rank as the governor of Zuodu, he was almost the same as the governor of the state, and he did similar things.

They are all in charge of military affairs, but they were in charge of the combat army before, and now they have to manage all military affairs in the state, and with Fan Chong's experience, it won't take long to get started.

With the state governor and the state lieutenant, the Houjiu County can basically operate, and there is no need to report to Su Qi'an for everything.

Even if Su Qi'an is handling government affairs, he can't afford to deal with all government affairs in a state.

With these two people taking office, Su Qi'an is a lot easier.

There are state governors and state lieutenants, which can indeed make a state's government affairs work, but this is only temporary, and many major events still have to be ordered by the state pastor.

As for the selection of the state pastor, it is indeed a nerve-wracking matter, and it is difficult to choose one of the current officials in the entire Eastern State to serve as the state pastor.

After all, it has a lot of power, and Su Qi'an doesn't want to be the second Zhou Zibin, so the position of state pastor must be extremely cautious.

In Su Qi'an's cautious month, the court was about to quarrel, and the owners were very enthusiastic about recommending suitable personnel like Su Xuanyong.

But these candidates, as long as they look at it simply, they will know which family they belong to.

The dispute on the side of the court, Su Xuanyong can withstand it for the time being, but it won't last long, if Su Qi'an doesn't have a suitable candidate, if he really wants to drag it out like this, it will be the most unfavorable for Su Qi'an.

He wants to deal with everything as much as possible when he can govern Dongzhou, and if he keeps his tail, he will suffer in the end.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Su Qi'an made a bold decision to recommend someone like Su Xuanyong.

This person's name appeared on Su Xuanyong's dragon case, which made him himself a little surprised, but he only threw a word to Su Qi'an, if he could get this person, he didn't have to worry about it on the court's side, and he had a few people to handle it.

With this promise, Su Qi'an's hanging heart let go slightly, because this person was none other than Zai Fu Chuxiong, who lived in seclusion in Dongzhou and had just unloaded his career.

I have to say that Su Qi'an's recommendation is very bold, and let the dignified Zai Fu take over as the state pastor of a state, which is unheard of in the three hundred years of the Great Liang Dynasty.

Not to mention whether there is such a precedent for serving as a state pastor from the position of Zaifu, even if it is said to be a minister, how big is the gap between before and after, as long as it is a Zaifu, he will not do such a thing.

The pastor of Yizhou is indeed in a high position, but the position of a high authority is not as noble as the position of a dignified Zaifu, and Chu Xiong is already a lot old.

In such a hard position, he doesn't know if he can hold it up with his age.

Almost as expected, when Su Qi'an deliberately conveyed this matter to Chu Xiong, who was in retreat, the reply he received was only three words, impossible.

But Su Qi'an is not the master who gives up once he hits a wall, and in this month, he almost has time to go to Chu Xiong's retreat to persuade him.

It can be said that the dead skin and face have been brought to the extreme, and this kind of dead skin and face have not had a good effect, but directly scared Chu Xiong away.

disappeared without a trace all of a sudden, even if Su Qi'an spent a lot of effort to find Chu Xiong, there was no trace of him.

Don't talk about him, even if his righteous son Xie Cang comes forward, he can't find any trace of him.

Seeing Chu Xiong like this, Su Qi'an could only smile bitterly, this time he was too bold.

Without taking into account the mood of this highly respected former Zaifu, he made his own decisions, and now it seems that if he were to change to himself, he would definitely be very resistant to the position of the state pastor.

Although he didn't think it through, Su Qi'an had no intention of giving up, since he didn't want to be a state pastor, he would also assist from the side, as a supervisor.

Su Qi'an had already thought about it, and considering Chu Xiong's age and temperament, he planned to take a step back and let Chu Xiong serve as the new Dongzhou Supervision Envoy.

Anyway, he is about to leave Dongzhou, and most of the identity of the supervision envoy will be withdrawn, rather than this, it is better to let Chu Xiong assist Fang Jingzhi and Fan Chong in handling government affairs as the new supervision envoy.

After all, the imperial court did not issue an order, the position of the supervision envoy would be abolished, and he would be the new supervision envoy as Chu Xiong, without hurting his face, and he could also give full play to his popularity, killing two birds with one stone.

The reason why Su Qi'an identified Chu Xiong so much was that only he had the ability to shock the local family in Dongzhou after he left.

The Dongzhou family is like a weed, the spring breeze blows and grows, and it can't be eradicated at all, since this is the case, then keep it, deter from time to time, and let these families who have benefited from the people of Dongzhou contribute to Dongzhou.

Although Fang Jingzhi and Fan Chong are state governors and state lieutenants, Zhou Zibin has been in charge of Dongzhou for so many years after all, even if he dies and his foundation is eradicated, his influence is still there.

As for the two of them, these Dongzhou families are still somewhat reluctant and insufficient, although sometimes they can rely on force to deter, but after a long time, there will always be some small actions behind the scenes.

Therefore, in order to make these families completely obedient, in addition to force, they also have to attack the heart, which is a great test of a person's prestige.

It's a pity that Fang Jingzhi and Fan Chong don't have it, but Wu Dingguo has some, but he is on the front line in Dongzhou all the year round, and he can manage the first nine counties, but the situation in the last nine counties is complicated, and it is difficult for him to handle it.

And what can be shocked, except for Chu Xiong, Su Qi'an can't find a second suitable candidate.

He has served as a high-ranking Zaifu above 10,000 people under one person, and he is a native of Dongzhou, and during his time as an official, I don't know how many people have been promoted by him and appointed.

If it weren't for him returning to Dongzhou, insisting on keeping a low profile, and being protected by Long Wei, as far as his identity was, even if Zhou Zibin saw him, he would have to tremble.

Therefore, such a person, Su Qi'an really wants him to come out of the mountain again and continue to shine for Da Liang, only if he sits in Dongzhou, Su Qi'an can leave without scruples.

It can also deter some other active people, but it's a pity that because of his anxiety, the former Zaifu disappeared without a trace.

Even so, Su Qi'an had no intention of giving up, he knew that if he wanted Dongzhou to be stable, this big guy must be invited out of the mountain.
