In the seventh year of the first level, in the second half of the first month.

Jiangzhou City.

There is still snow on the ground, but it is clear that the weather has begun to warm up a lot, and it can be seen that the snow is gradually melting into water, and the streets are wet everywhere, but the air after this snowmelt is good.

It has been nearly a year since Mu Jing led his army on the expedition.

In the past nearly a year, Jiangzhou City from the outside, have changed greatly, although the former Jiangzhou City is the main city of Ba County, but relatively speaking, it is just a backward city, not as good as Chengdu, nor as good as Hanzhong Nanzheng.

But now, under the strong support of the Ming Marquis' Mansion, Jiangzhou City has changed again and again, and the city wall has been repaired several times, and a part of it has been extended and rebuilt, which is quite majestic.

The development of the city is even more rapid in the day, not to mention the main urban area of Jiangzhou located in Jiangbei, even the Yuzhong Peninsula in the south of the Yangtze River has also changed greatly.

In the past, the Yuzhong Peninsula was on the outskirts of Jiangzhou, not an urban area, most of them were farmland and rural areas, and it used to be the most backward and wild place in Jiangzhou, but now it has become a prosperous place in Jiangzhou.

Jiangzhou is now the state capital of Yizhou, the political center of a state, if Yizhou is established, this is the national capital.

Although the people of Yizhou are squeezed out of their heads, they also want to live and work here in peace and contentment, whether they want to have a career prospect, or they want to be a good person at the feet of the Son of Heaven, without the proposal and arrangement of the state pastor, many people have spontaneously moved to Jiangzhou.

In just one year, Jiangzhou's population has skyrocketed by more than half.

The main city of Jiangzhou has limited capacity, and where the skyrocketing population can live and work in peace and contentment is naturally the Yuzhong Peninsula.

The Ming Hou Mansion built no less than ten wharves, and countless boats were added on both sides of the river, and it was only a quarter of an hour to cross the river, which was equivalent to opening up the road, and since the road was the same, naturally some people were willing to live.

This is the influence that the main city of a state brings.

At the same time, with the Jingping Mu clan as the main businessman, many big Hubei in the business community began to enclose land in Jiangzhou to build houses, and the land of the Yuzhong Peninsula made the real estate of this era come to an unprecedented outbreak.

Minghou Mansion.

The front line came one by one, which made the Minghou Mansion more and more excited, the victory can be inspiring, the victory of the front line, but also the achievement of the center of the representative, so under this sense of honor, the Ming Hou Mansion Thirteen Cao's Siya, up and down are very hard, in and out of the footsteps are endless.

In the Zhaoming Pavilion, Hu Zhaopan sat in front of the desk and was reviewing a copy of the recital in his hand.

"Lord Changshi, this is the plan handed back by Hanzhong about Hanzhong to open up the Chi Road in Xiangyang County!"

"Let's put it first!"

"No!"

"Lord Changshi, Xiangyang is in a hurry, Nanyang has the intention of going south, and the forward of the Guanzhong Army has passed Bowangpo, and there is the intention of troops coming to Xinye!"

"Tell Zhang Song Zhao Wei of Beiwutang, order them to discuss immediately, arrange for the Violent Bear Army to go north to Xinye as soon as possible, and tell them that Zhaoming Pavilion means to seek stability for the time being, but when necessary, you can fight a battle in the local area to deter the enemy!"

"No!"

"Lord Changshi, this is the Guanghan Taishou Huang Quan Huang raised it, about the results of the examination of the county officials of Guanghan County, Dong Cao has arranged for someone to check it, but you need to sign and seal it to be effective!"

"I'll give you a reply after I've read it carefully!"

"No!"

“……”

One morning, big and small things kept coming in from the outside, and then the processed transcripts were handed out by the scribes one by one, and the entire Zhaoming Hall was never quiet.

Huo Yu personally brought a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Master Hu, take a rest, the lord has always proposed to combine work and rest, if he knows, I will take care of you tired, I don't have good fruit to eat!" ”

"He's a guy who only talks and can't do!"

Hu Zhao sneered, put down the brush, scratched a handful of hair, and a white hair also fell, which made him sigh a little: "Working under him, the old man wants to live for a few more years, I'm afraid it will be difficult!" ”

Mujing's southern expedition involved too much of the power of the Minghou Mansion, and for the sake of the government's four counties in the south and central counties, even Liu Jin also went south to sit in the town, resulting in the current Minghou Mansion, big and small things, have been pushed to his head.

"This is also the lord's trust in Lord Changshi!" Huo Yu said silently.

"Lao Hu, I shouldn't have been soft-hearted back then, if I hadn't followed him out of the mountain, I would have been able to live a good life now, and now I am on the thief ship!" Hu Zhao ate the tea in one gulp, and then threw himself into the stacks of notebooks.

"Lord Changshi!"

After half a ring, Tan Zong walked in from the outside, one step higher and lower, and walked in front of Hu Zhao before bowing down and saluting.

His legs and feet are inconvenient, he has the power of Mu Jing's concession, and he does not kneel when he sees people, whether it is a boss or a colleague.

"Tan Zong, what's the matter?" Hu Zhao raised his head and asked.

"There is some movement in the state governor's mansion, I think, we need to let adults know!"

Tan Zong said.

Now the supreme leader of Jiangzhou is naturally Hu Zhao, so Jing Wusi must be allowed by Hu Zhao to act, even if Hu Zhao doesn't like Jing Wusi's methods very much, there are some things that Hu Zhao has to know.

"And what do they want to do?"

Hu Zhao said helplessly: "This Liu Zhang is really a little tenacious, he has been defeated repeatedly, defeated again and again, if it weren't for the lord to keep him useful, I should have personally killed him!" ”

During the period of Mu Jing's expedition, it was not the first time that Liu Zhang had played tricks, and if he counted it, this should be the third time.

For the first time, he wanted to force the palace.

This time, he contacted a lot of ministers from the old ministry of Yizhou, and joined forces to ask the Minghou Mansion to return the power of the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, and the momentum was quite big, just the Yizhou Confucian, Ba County Taishou Mansion, and Shu County Taishou Mansion There are many elite officials in the Taishou Mansion.

But this time's action was anticlimactic, and there was no need for the Ming Hou Mansion to make a move, Ba County was too shou Ye Ru and Shu County was too shou Li Yan, the two joined forces to kill the Quartet, and easily suppressed the matter.

And then the second time, it was civil unrest.

In the rainy season in July and August last year, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, some floods, flooded a lot of people who came to attack the fertile fields and houses, at that time the Ming Hou Mansion was fully supporting the Southern Expedition campaign, the response was a little slow, the natural disaster turned into a civil disaster, the two counties of Bashu, tens of thousands of people clashed Jiangzhou City.

Liu Yan ruled Yizhou for a short time, but his prestige was not weak, Liu Zhang raised his arms, he still had some influence, he used some of the gentry valves who supported him in advance to store a lot of grain, but let him take advantage of this opportunity to buy a lot of people's hearts, and also let the state pastor establish a certain reputation in this time.

"He should be trying to win over the captain of the Changshui Battalion!" Tan Zong said: "He has already sent his subordinates to contact Captain Changshui, and recently I feel that he seems to be controlling the weakness of Captain Changshui!" “

"The Changshui Battalion, the Fifth Battalion of the Shenwei, the soldiers and horses guarding Jiangzhou City, does he want to move troops?"

Hu Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "Then what is Lord Cai Yong's reaction?" ”

"Lord Cai Yong should not have gotten any news, for most of the past half a year, the state pastoral government has some doubts about Lord Cai Yong's position, so he is a little detached, Lord Cai Yong focuses on the establishment of county schools, and he is temporarily powerless to meddle in these things.

"Let him know!"

Hu Zhao said: "I'll see if he is ready to move, if he moves, it will be a good thing, Changshui Ying...... Although it is not absolutely assured, but it is not a worry, after all, if you can become the fifth battalion of the Divine Guard, you should be trusted, but when you should keep an eye on it, you must keep an eye on it, now that the Southern Expedition has won a complete victory, the day for the lord to return to the north is almost set, and at this time, there will be chaos, even if they really want to move, they have to overwhelm the matter under the weakest influence! ”

"Yes!"

Tan Zong nodded.

"Just in case, secretly mobilize the Praetorian Guard Battalion, the city treasury, the grain depot, the arsenal, the Ming Marquis Mansion, and the State Pastoral Mansion...... Military Industry Department outside the city, ...... of the Academy of Science and Technology None of these places can be messed up! ”

"Yes!"

……………………………………………………

The State Pastoral Mansion, compared to the Minghou Mansion, is a little deserted.

Because everyone in Yizhou knows that the center of Yizhou's rule is in the Minghou Mansion, not the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, and the scripts that can be passed in the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion are all from the Minghou Mansion, and the entire Prefecture Pastoral Mansion may not be able to know much of Yizhou's core secrets.

Liu Zhang is a year older again, perhaps because of his experience, so he has matured a lot.

Liu Zhang in history is another Adou who can't support the wall, Liu Yan left him a good foundation, but he was captured by Liu Bei within a few years, but this is also due to Liu Yan who arranged everything too well.

On the contrary, if Liu Zhang did not get full experience, he would naturally be overjoyed and lacked management ability.

Now that Liu Yan has been defeated and died early, he has left a mess is that although he still took over the position of Yizhou Governor, he is a puppet who has been set aside, and every time he thinks of the grievances he bears, he has a kind of anger.

This anger became the driving force for his growth.

This has also made him grow up by leaps and bounds in the past two years, from an ignorant and ignorant teenager to a Yizhou governor who is now quite deep in the city.

"Lord Governor, don't wait for me!" Liu Rui saluted Liu Zhang respectfully and said in a low voice.

"Do you have to move?"

Liu Zhang gritted his teeth: "Now that Yizhou has let the thieves run an iron bucket, how can I move?" ”

"If you let the shepherd lead the army back to Jiangzhou City, does the state pastor think you will have a chance in the future!" Liu Rui asked.

"Cousin?"

"Lord Zhou Mu, you are the orthodox of Yizhou, and you can't bear to let the country left by your uncle be stolen by the shepherd like this!" Liu Rui said in a low voice: "As long as you successfully control Jiangzhou, and then raise your arms, there will be a lot of people who are not satisfied with the tyranny of the herdsmen to stand up and support, even if the herdsmen go north at that time, the state pastor still has the court to rely on, and it is not good to lead the soldiers of the court south!" ”
