Chapter 755: Household Trivia
The news that Chu Xian brought back this time was indeed very important, I didn't know how many Wu Ancestors were still alive in the Wu Clan, so I didn't dare to act rashly, but now, when it is determined that the Four Ancestors Spirit Diagram has fallen, and there are only three Wu Ancestors left in the Wu Clan, if you don't take this opportunity to do something, it is tantamount to wasting the opportunity in vain.
The people present expressed their opinions, Qin Yuanmou, Run Boran and others naturally advocated seizing the opportunity to defeat the Wu Clan, at least grasping the opportunity, so that the Wu Clan would not have the strength to fight against the Holy Dynasty in the future, but Xiao Yu Taishi and Da Situ and others did not express their position.
At this time, Da Situ glanced at Chu Xian and said: "Chu Xian, you have been in the territory of the Wu Clan for ten months, and what you have seen is more profound than ours, and what you know is also the most complete, and you have the opportunity to stay in Wushen Mountain for so long, you can tell me your opinion." β
At that moment, everyone's eyes were looking at Chu Xian.
To be honest, in this level of the Shoufu Pavilion meeting, even the Shangshu level is not easy to speak at will, but the few bigwigs who really have the right to speak are the few bigwigs in the Shoufu Pavilion, and Chu Xian is naturally quite stressed at this moment, not because he has stage fright, but because he knows that his next words may determine whether it will lead to a war between the Wu Clan and the Human Clan.
His words may affect the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and even determine the direction of the two clans in the future.
This is the source of Chu Xian's pressure.
But Chu Xian is not afraid, let alone rejects this kind of pressure, he likes it very much, which is also the purpose of his career climbing all the way.
Da Situ let himself say his point of view, it is not untargeted, how he chooses next, I am afraid that it will directly affect the final choice of these bigwigs in the Shoufu Pavilion.
Chu Xian understood this, so what he was going to say next was also well thought out.
"Since ancient times, all the tribes of the Wu tribe have their own beliefs, totems, witchcraft, secret spells, these factions actually disagree with each other, but because there is a Wushen Mountain, there is a Wu ancestor, so the various tribes can be unified and form a system. And at present, there are actually contradictions within the Wu clan, the existing three Wu ancestors, under normal circumstances, it is difficult to coordinate, if it is accumulated all year round, the Wu clan will inevitably be in chaos, which is why, once there is a problem within the Wu clan, there will be a war on the side of the Red Flame Mountain, because the Wu ancestors of the Wu clan know very well that only external wars can transfer internal contradictions and unite the tribes, which is why the Red Flame Mountain will come here for several years, and there will be wars every three or five times. If you think about it carefully, in most cases, it is the Wu Clan that invades the Red Flame Mountain, and we are all passive and defensive, but we rarely take the initiative to attack. β
Chu Xian opened his mouth, but he did not directly say whether he should take advantage of people's illness to kill people, but told the history again.
"In addition, the Wu clan is warlike, even the most ordinary Wu people, their physique, their strength is several times that of the human race, this is an innate advantage, difficult to change, but in culture, talent and so on, the Wu clan is far inferior to us, when I go to the Wu clan, the Wu clan from top to bottom, from nobles to commoners, all like the culture of the human race, so why not study this way more, educate the Wu clan. And if you fight again, it is equivalent to uniting all the tribes of the Wu clan for Wu Zu, although there are only three Wu ancestors left in the Wu clan, the strength of the three Wu ancestors is extraordinary, especially the ninth Wu Zu, its magic power is no less than Lu Yan Taishi, life and death fighting, the outcome is unpredictable, and the most important thing is that the Wu clan army is strong, 10,000 numbers, we have to use more than three times the number of soldiers to fight, if the war, the outcome is unpredictable, even if the Wu clan is defeated, it is also a thousand injuries to the enemy and eight hundred, the gains outweigh the losses, there is no complete victory, this time take the initiative to lead the war, it is not advisable. β
After saying his point of view in one breath, Chu Xian arched his hand: "This is Chu Xian's humble opinion, as the so-called country is warlike and will perish, rather than forcing the Wu clan to unite with the outside world, it is better to wear a drop of water." β
That's it.
These words can be described as concise and to the point, and several bigwigs of the Shoufu Pavilion who listened to them nodded secretly, obviously, they also knew the disadvantages of directly leading the war, and for the Wu Clan Wu Ancestor, even if there were only three, unless it was the Holy Dynasty that poured out of the nest, it would be difficult to form an absolute advantage.
Over there, Qin Yuanmou and Run Boran, who advocated a war, also nodded and did not speak, and Zhao Heng, the secretary of the military department, was even more contemplative, but Yang Zhenqing said: "This time the Wu clan is weak, let's not do it, in the future, they will take the initiative to attack, what should we do?"
This worry is obviously normal, Chu Xian said at this time: "Master Yang, since ancient times, the weak eat the strong, and do not use force, because they can't swallow it, this is true for us, and it is the same for the Wu clan, so we need to continue to improve ourselves and strengthen ourselves, if one day, the Wu clan is weak, and the Holy Dynasty is ten times stronger, a hundred times, and then there is no need to use a single soldier, maybe it can be easily annexed, and if the Holy Dynasty is weak, even if the Wu clan is destroyed this time, it will be defeated by other forces in the future." β
Yang Zhenqing laughed and didn't speak again, obviously agreeing with Chu Xian's suggestion.
At this time, Xiao Yu said: "It is indeed inappropriate to rashly use force now, the Wu clan is going downhill, there is no need for force, they may not be able to ease up, if they use force, it will be as Chu Xian said, but it will make them unite internally and externally, it is not good to have cohesion, Chu Xian, I order you to go to the territory of the Wu clan and let them sign an armistice agreement, and it is agreed that within 50 years, the two clans will not fight again." β
Chu Xian smiled, this trick was thought of with him, and this matter was indeed the most suitable for him to go, after all, he had a friendship with the Eleventh Witch Ancestor and the Twelfth Witch Ancestor, in a sense, he was a protΓ©gΓ© of the 'Four Ancestors', and he was also able to enter and exit the Witch God Mountain at will in the Wu Clan.
So go by yourself, the Wu side can only agree.
When the contract is signed, the Wu clan wants to calm the internal contradictions and conflicts by using force to lead the war, and I am afraid that it will not be able to do it.
In addition, Chu Xian advocated people-to-people exchanges between the two clans, trade, and lectures, all of which were carried out, after all, these things had existed before, but they were not officially recognized, and now that the official promotion, the effect and influence will increase exponentially.
This core meeting within the Shoufu Pavilion obviously made Chu Xian establish a certain position in the Shoufu Pavilion, although Chu Xian's official position is only the third grade, and the official position is only the Zuo Shilang of the Household Department, but his influence in the Shoufu Pavilion is even more than that of the six Shangshu.
This is already a fact.
After the high-level meeting, the Supreme Sect Master invited Chu Xian to give a lecture at the Jingzhou Daomen General Altar, which was to further express his gratitude to Chu Xian, after all, if it weren't for Chu Xian, the Qinghe Immortals would definitely not be able to come back.
After the Qinghe Immortal came back, he had been cultivating at the Daomen General Altar, and this time Chu Xian went to see these people again. As for the immortal curse spirit, Chu Xian also informed the Shoufu Pavilion about this, and the Shoufu Pavilion listed it as a secret, and did not pursue it.
To Chu Xian's surprise, the Supreme Sect Master then sealed himself with the title of 'Daomen Fuzun', this title is not an official position, just an 'honor' in the Dao Sect, but don't underestimate this title, in the future, when Chu Xian goes out, the status will be high, all the martial arts of the Holy Dynasty will respect the sect leader as the Taoist sect leader, so all the martial arts of the Holy Dynasty, even if they are Dao Immortals, when they see Chu Xian, they must also be called 'Venerable'. The most important thing is that even in the Shoufu Pavilion, who have received similar titles as Daomen, until now, only Taishi Lu Yan and Taishi Xiao Yu have not been there, and Chu Xian is the third among the immortal officials in the world.
Ten days later.
Chu Xian returned from the territory of the Wu Clan, and went to the territory of the Wu Clan, and sure enough, everything went well, the Eleventh Wu Ancestor and the Twelfth Wu Ancestor listened to Chu Xian's lobbying, owed the armistice agreement, and allowed the Wu and the Terran people to communicate, trade, and give lectures.
There is no doubt that this merit is all counted on Chu Xian.
After Chu Xian returned, he took office in the household department non-stop and officially exercised his right to serve as a waiter, but on the first day he came, what he received was a bunch of messes.
It turned out that Liu Jiwen, the right attendant, threw out the authority belonging to Chu Xian after the court meeting that day, and didn't bother to ask at all, so in the past ten days, the accumulated affairs are like a mountain, and anyone who sees it has to worry, after all, it is not a simple matter to sort out this mess, not to mention, if it is an official who has just taken over the affairs of the household department, he will have no clue and don't know how to start.
Chu Xian scolded Liu Jiwen in his heart, the other party's actions were really substandard, I originally thought that Liu Jiwen was a person who took care of the overall situation, but now that the pattern is too small, this kind of person can be mixed into the Shoufu Pavilion, which is really inappropriate.
However, Chu Xian also knew that this could not be blamed on the original Master Lu Yan, after all, strictly speaking, Liu Jiwen did have real talent and learning, but this person's attitude and mood were not enough, it was okay to be an ordinary official, but when he reached the level of the first auxiliary pavilion, this kind of person would only make mistakes.
But Chu Xian can't intervene in the power of employing people, let alone an official at the level of the First Auxiliary Pavilion, Chu Xian can't reach it, so it's better to deal with the affairs in front of him first.
Liu Jiwen did this on purpose, just to look good for himself, if he didn't handle it well, wouldn't it just let the other party succeed?
So next, Chu Xian stayed at home, and first sorted out the actual accumulated affairs one by one, this matter relied on patience and calmness, fortunately, these two points are special, Chu Xian not only has it, but also few people can match it.
For a day and a night, Chu Xian didn't close his eyes, sorted out all the affairs properly, and the conditions were clear and clear. The disposal of the disposal, the rejection of the dismissal, and the things within the scope of the squire's authority, are still difficult for Chu Xian.
Because those fat differences are in Liu Jiwen's hands, and what Chu Xian gets in his hands are all thankless affairs such as household registration, land, and warehouses, many of these things are based on the system of a hundred years ago, and in Chu Xian's opinion, it is no longer appropriate, and when Liu Jiwen managed it before, Chu Xian obviously did not intend to fool around, after all, Chu Xian had already had the intention of showing his strength in these aspects.
What he's going to do is reform.
