Chapter 741: Zhili County

Ouyang Shuo returned to the mansion, but Qing'er was waiting for him early. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Big brother!"

Qing'er's eyes were red, as if she had just cried.

Ouyang Shuo frowned, and said lightly: "Wang Feng refused? ”

"He's a stubborn cow!"

In the past few days, Qing'er has encountered a wall at Wang Feng, and the results are not ideal. Wang Feng's self-esteem is very strong, and no matter what Qing'er says, he is unwilling to agree to this marriage with a broken arm.

"What can I do?" Ouyang Shuo asked.

It is impossible for Ouyang Shuo to force Wang Feng to agree to this marriage as the sovereign. Not to mention that the twisted melon is not sweet, this is also a blow to the prestige of the Metropolitan Protectorate.

As the sovereign, Ouyang Shuo couldn't help but consider the impact of this aspect.

Qing'er made a request that surprised Ouyang Shuo and said, "Big brother, can you temporarily remove him from his military position and arrange for him to go to the East Fence Sword Sect to concentrate on further study?" ”

"You gave up?"

"Nope." Qing'er shook her head, her eyes firm, "I also found out that with his temper, if he doesn't cure his illness, no matter how much he persuades, it's useless." I'll wait until the day he gets back on his feet. ”

"Yes, yes!"

Ouyang Shuo looked at the girl in front of him, full of emotion.

The magic of love can make people get carried away and also make a person grow quickly.

"I'll arrange this." Ouyang Shuo did not hesitate.

"Thank you, big brother!"

Qing'er Yingying bowed, and saw that Ouyang Shuo looked a little tired, so she didn't bother, and said goodbye and left.

In the next half month, the battle in Lingnan went smoothly.

The battle of Baishi City shocked the entire Chinese region. The lightning action in Shanhai City made some people with ulterior motives basically end the battle of Lingnan before they had time to make a move.

Among them is Overlord City.

Xiongba was ready to directly increase the number of troops [Lingnan City-State], and when he learned that Baishi City had fallen, he immediately dispelled his thoughts and shifted his energy to plotting against the dragon point.

Also retreating is Caiyun City. As Du Ruhui expected, as soon as he learned of the battle situation in Baishi City, the coalition forces temporarily organized by the south of Caiyun immediately withdrew from Shaozhou County.

Immediately afterwards, the [Shonan city-state] further strengthened the border garrison.

The entire Chinese region is watching in awe the strong rise of Shanhai City again, and in less than a month, it has won most of the provinces.

With the withdrawal of all forces, the Praetorian Guard Legion, the City Guard Legion, the Second Legion of the Longxiang Army, and the two legions of the Tiger Army, totaling 350,000 troops, launched a carpet attack on the land of the three counties.

In the land of three counties, there is not a single dead end.

Wherever the army passed, the major cities fell in the wind.

Any stubborn forces, under the iron hooves of the vast army, are like mantis arms as cars, and they have turned into powder.

In the land of three counties, the wind is loud.

As the war drew to an end, the Southern Xinjiang Protectorate, which had been ready for a long time, transferred a large number of officials from various counties to the three counties to begin to receive the city, stabilize the people's hearts, and restore civil affairs.

For this expansion, the Southern Xinjiang Protectorate prepared for half a year, reserved a large number of officials, and waited for the end of the war to show their skills.

************

Shanhai City, the capital of southern Xinjiang.

In the study, Ouyang Shuo was discussing with the four directors of the General Administration the personnel arrangements for the county guards in the three counties.

Zhenhai City Guard Song Wen was promoted to Jiaozhou County Guard.

This personnel arrangement is the least objectionable. A Song Wen fought against Zhenhai City, and the achievements made are obvious to all, and it is reasonable to be promoted to the county guard. Second, Zhenhai City is still under Song Wen's name, and if he wants to maintain the teleportation array of Zhenhai City, Song Wen can't leave Zhenhai City and Jiaozhou County.

This time, Song Wen can be regarded as picking up a big bargain.

Jiaozhou County is not only the largest county in Lingnan Province, but also the largest in area among the counties of Shanhai City, even surpassing Kunming County, which has just been incorporated.

In addition, Jiaozhou County is strategically located, the rivers in the territory are staggered, and there is a natural port such as Jiaozhou Port, which has a strong foundation, rich natural resources and dense population, which can be said to be the heart of Lingnan Province.

If it weren't for Zhenhai City, no matter how capable Song Wen was, he wouldn't have been able to get promoted to this point in one fell swoop.

In addition to Jiaozhou County, there are also two counties, Chaozhou County and Shaozhou County. According to the battle reports sent from the front, during the capture of the counties, no great historical civilians were found.

Some are only three or two kittens, and they can only be qualified for the position of prefect.

Therefore, the three county guards must all be sent by the Southern Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate.

At Xiao He's suggestion, Huo Guang, director of the Taxation Department under the General Administration of Finance, stood out among the officials and was appointed as the county warden of Shaozhou County.

Huo Guangben is a great talent, and it is indeed a bit condescending to serve as the Commissioner of Taxation.

Ouyang Shuo had long intended to release Huo Guang, but he never found the opportunity. Since Xiao He took the initiative to mention it, Ouyang Shuo did not stop it, and took the opportunity to pass this personnel arrangement.

Huo Guangwen is talented and martial, all of them are extraordinary, and with him sitting in Shaozhou County, he can better monitor his neighbors in the north. Shaozhou County is an active volcano, and a major war could break out at any time.

With Huo Guang, a great general in history, Ouyang Shuo can rest assured.

Although Xiao He's proposal is appropriate, it may not be selfish. Huo Guang was born in the Western Han Dynasty, and he is in the same vein as Xiao He, the first prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty.

The two have a close relationship.

For Xiao He, promoting Huo Guang is a win-win situation.

Ouyang Shuo was insightful about this, but he took a tacit attitude. He opposes the formation of parties and personal interests by officials under his command, but he will not do anything and prohibits any form of "connection".

In ancient officialdom, factions were difficult to eliminate.

Ouyang Shuo's attitude towards this is that officials can openly "connect" and cannot secretly engage in personal gain.

The last county guard had some difficult births.

Looking for all the important ministers of the Southern Xinjiang Protectorate, it is not that there are no people who can serve as county guards, such as Zhang Tingyu, Su Zhe, Pei Yun, Xiahoudun and others, all of whom are competent.

It's just that these important ministers themselves are in important positions, and they can't leave them.

When the deliberations were in trouble, the Financial Commissioner Fan Li suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a proposal. ”

"Please!" A hint of surprise flashed in Ouyang Shuo's eyes.

Shang Sheng Fan Li joined Shanhai City, except for speaking out on the financial affairs of the territory, other affairs are generally silent and low-key.

You must know that Fan Li's ability is not limited to business.

His humanistic talents and martial arts are all the best choices, and his strategy is even stronger than that of ordinary strategists.

Ouyang Shuo guessed that Fan Li was so low-key, firstly, he was making up for his lack of knowledge with the help of Southwest University Hall. After all, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period in which Fan Li was born are far from the most perfect and prosperous era of China's governance system.

For how to govern the territory, Fan Li still has a lot of knowledge to re-learn and digest.

Second, Fan Li is afraid that he is also observing Shanhai City and observing Ouyang Shuo, the lord of the monarch.

This man's caution can be seen.

Now that Fan Li suddenly spoke out on the personnel of the territory, does it mean that he has truly recognized Ouyang Shuo, the sovereign, and is ready to really show his strength in Shanhai City?!

In this way, Ouyang Shuo was faintly excited in his heart.

The eyes of the other three directors also flashed with a strange light.

Each of the directors present here is a human spirit, and naturally they are keenly aware of the hidden information. What kind of impact will Fan Li's sudden "high-profile voice" have on the officialdom ecology of Shanhai City?

I'm afraid they have to think about this problem.

Fan Li was calm and said calmly: "According to the king's words, the territory needs to be formally established next year, and Shanhai City has also been established as the future capital. In this case, some things have to be prepared in advance, such as the matter of Zhili. Weichen thought that it was time to divide Lianzhou County as a whole into Shanhai City Zhili. ”

Naoli refers to the area that is directly subordinate to the Kyoshi.

The term originated in the Ming Dynasty and continued into the Qing Dynasty. Even in modern society, there is a similar concept. In the Qing Dynasty, the governor of Zhili was the first of the eight governors in the country, and he could not be a major minister.

Previously, the counties around Shanhai City had all been included in the jurisdiction of Shanhai City.

Fan Li's proposal this time is obviously a step closer on this basis, bringing the entire Lianzhou Basin under the direct jurisdiction of Shanhai City, and no longer establishing Lianzhou County separately.

Weichen seconded. Transferring Lianzhou County to Zhili in advance will also make it easier to allocate the resources of the Lianzhou Basin and accelerate the construction of Shanhai City, with a view to reaching the upper limit of population earlier. ”

It was Wei Ying who spoke, as the director of the interior, who was in charge of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and the population was within Wei Ying's jurisdiction. For the population migration work of Shanhai City, Wei Ying is naturally also responsible.

"Not bad. With the rapid increase in the population of Shanhai City, more and more resources such as agricultural products are needed. The supply of the surrounding counties has been unable to meet the demand of Shanhai City. Now it is necessary to allocate materials from Lianzhou County, and the inclusion of Lianzhou County in Zhili can also break this boundary. Xiao He seconded.

As a result, only Du Ruhui, the director of military affairs, did not speak.

If Fan Li's low-key is silently observing, then Du Ruhui's low-key is really low-key. This military affairs administrator with extraordinary decisiveness, as long as it does not involve military affairs, basically does not speak up when deliberating, and always plays the role of a listener.

Soldiers do not interfere in officialdom, this is the bottom line that Du Ruhui drew for himself.

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, but he was as good as a stream, and said: "Since all the secretaries have reached a consensus, then this matter has been decided. From now on, Lianzhou County will be abolished, and all the places in the Lianzhou Basin will be directly subordinated to Shanhai City and directly managed by Shanhai Ling Zang Wenzhong. ”

Regarding Zang Wenzhong's mountain and sea order, Ouyang Shuo is not ready to let him move his position for the time being. What satisfies Ouyang Shuo the most is that so far, he has not been involved in any faction, and he is very upright.

"Your Majesty!"

The directors are not at all surprised by the neatness of the king.

After finalizing the matter of Zhili, Ouyang Shuo returned to the topic, looked at Fan Li, and said with a smile: "Fan Qing's intention, but recommend Wei Ran, the former county guard of Lianzhou, to serve as the county guard of Chaozhou County?" ”
