Shu Chen

Chapter 44
After a simple wash, Zheng Pu walked across the eaves corridor to the front hall.

At this time, above the night sky, faintly affectionate stars are flickering, greedy for the gentleness of the night and reluctant to hide.

When Zheng Pu saw this, he couldn't help but feel sleepy again.

He rubbed his face fiercely before stepping into the hall. Seeing that Pang Hong was already seated, he sat down with his hands and asked, "I don't know what made the great master come here in such a hurry?"

"Have trouble with Zijin brother Qingmeng, forgive me! Forgive me!"

First, he handed over his hands and pleaded guilty, and then Pang Hong explained the reason, "However, I'm going to Wenshan County in three days. I really can't spare the time, so I can only come to interrupt at Dianmao."

Wenshan County?
Did you commit a crime and be condemned to the sidelines? !

As soon as he heard this, Zheng Pu's heart trembled, and he immediately woke up.

Wenshan County belongs to the borderland, and the Qiang and barbarians have always lived together, and few people go there except for being appointed to the office and chasing profit from businessmen.It is also a good choice for the court bureaucrats to discuss crimes and move to the border.

However, after seeing Pang Hong's neatly dressed audience costumes, Zheng Puxin calmed down again.

After thinking for a while, he tried to say, "Master Ju, as the servant of the emperor, you are going to go to the Wenshan County Office Gongxie?"

"Hahaha~~~~~"

Hearing this, Pang Hong showed his teeth and laughed heartily, "I'm here to know Brother Zijin. Today, the office will be dismissed, so I'm not the emperor's valet!"

After that, seeing Zheng Pu's surprise again, he explained the reason.

Zheng Pu listened and thought, and he understood.

It turned out that it was his initial "tender" advice to Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, and it began to spread.

It is to first grant official positions to the descendants of the Jingxiang and Yuancong clans, and raise their own works with their family funds. After testing the results, they will be extended to the children of the Yizhou aristocratic clan.

The prime minister, Zhuge Liang, was known for his prudence.

The second-generation children selected this time, such as Zhang Bao, Zhao Guang, Huo Yi, Mi Wei, Jiang Bin, and Pang Hong, have all the merits and deeds of their parents, and they all have considerable family resources.

At that time, the former Lord Liu Bei rewarded the meritorious officials after the establishment of Shu, and bestowed Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei each with five hundred catties of gold, one thousand catties of silver, 50 million coins, and one thousand pieces of brocade.Others such as Zhao Yun, Huo Jun, Mi Zhu and Pang Tong's descendants also received a lot of awards.

Among them, Zhang Bao, who served in the middle, was transferred to General Pi.

Going to Fuling County, Badong, with the prestige of his late father Zhang Fei who had a big impact on Ba County and Yi Shi Yan Yan (the Yan surname was a local famous family), he recruited tribes in the local area, and called on the baili people and the people of the eight clans of Badi.

The predecessor of Badi was the country of Cuba, and its people were Pu, Bo, Tsing, Tiao, ***, Yi, Qi, Ci and so on.

The main habitat of the barb and the scorpion is in Fuling County.

Due to the local mountains and rivers, no sericulture, and little literature, there are many needs in the hunting grounds, as well as the wealth of salt wells, tea, Dan, lacquer, honey, wax, etc., people are fighting for it.

Therefore, the two clans of cilantro and guinea flock together with the elders of the clan, and the people are many and brave.

If there is a quarrel, or a lawsuit is brought to the government, the sword must be drawn to divide life and death.

In the past, when the Han Dynasty was strong and prosperous, with the blood of the two clans of the cilantro and guinea pigs, they were not afraid of death, and they often recruited their people as the "Red Armor Army". 【Note 1】

The son of the oldest Mi Zhu, the general Mi Wei of Ben Zhonglang, the tiger, turned and joined the army.

Mi Wei and his father were exiled with the First Sovereign when he was young, and he was familiar with military affairs.He will go to Wenshan County to recruit soldiers and set up a new army according to the order of the emperor, and he will go with the self-funded part from time to time.

In this move, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang also asked him to take care of Pang Hong's thoughts.

Because the youngest audience member, Pang Hong, was transferred to the commander of Zhaoxin, and went to Wenshan County to raise funds for himself.

The audience, Huo Yi, was transferred to the commander of Zhaozhong, and went to Hanjia County to recruit the troupe, in preparation for the army to conquer Nanzhong in the future.

The white body Zhao Guang, specially promoted to the commander of Zhaoyi, and Jiang Bin to the commander of Zhaowu, went to Zhuti County (directly under the commander of Yujiang) to recruit troops, and temporarily returned to Li Hui's moderation for future follow-up.

The above-mentioned edicts will be promulgated by the Son of Heaven in today's meeting.

As for such a sudden, whether it will trigger slander between the government and the opposition, there is no need to worry too much.

Because of this, it is only a mandate, not an authority.

Well, since the First Sovereign Liu Bei Ding Shu, the authority in the military is not proportional to the official position.

For example, in the battle of Hanzhong that year, after Huang Zhong beheaded Xiahou Yuan, he was worshipped by the First Sovereign as the general of the expedition to the west.

However, when Cao Cao personally led his troops to fight for Hanzhong, Huang Zhong was controlled by Zhao Yun, a general of the Yi army with a lower official rank.

Coincidentally, when the three Dongsan counties were still in the hands of the Shu Han, Shen Dan was worshipped as the general of the expedition to the north, but he was ruled by Liu Feng, a deputy general with a lower official rank.

The same is true after Zi Liu Chan ascended the throne today.

Li Yan, who was also entrusted with the orphan, served as the Central Protector and was in charge of the internal and external military affairs.

However, the military power he actually held was incomparable to Zhao Yun, who led the army to protect the army. 【Note 2】

Now, after these meritorious deeds of the imperial court, they are promoted to official positions, and they are made to raise their own funds to serve the country instead of directly conferring soldiers.

After Zheng Pu heard this, he couldn't help but praised Prime Minister Sheng's wrist.

Immediately, he smiled and said, "Congratulations to the master for getting what he wanted!"

"Brother Cheng Zijin Ji Yan! Hahaha~~~~~"

Pang Hong, who had finished explaining with a dry mouth, smiled happily and waved his hand.

After picking up the table and moisturizing it, he lowered his voice again, "Brother Zijin, I'm going to Wenshan County here to recruit some local songs and perform martial arts exercises. Besides, the Prime Minister summoned me a few days ago and told me to wait. , we also need to move the families of those tribes to settle in Shuzhong or Hanzhong. Alas, it is difficult to leave the villages, so it is not easy to persuade the families of the Qiangyi tribes in Wenshan to relocate, and I don’t know when it will be done.”

"Hey, you still want to relocate family members?"

Hearing this, Zheng Pu raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.

"Of course."

Pang Hong nodded slightly and said softly, "The Prime Minister claimed that if the family members do not move back to the imperial court to arrange households and grant fields together, then there will be no fighting spirit in the part."

That's because, as long as the imperial court controls the family, there is no worry that the trilogy will bring disaster to the country because of the general.

Zheng Pu thought to himself.

He didn't say anything, but glanced sideways at the hall and saw that the sky was turning white, he reminded aloud, "Master, the time is coming, if you chat with me again, I'm afraid it will be delayed!"

"what!"

Pang Hong was surprised, and quickly turned his head to look.

Immediately, he got up and left the table and handed over, "Thank you, Brother Zijin, for reminding me. Well, I'll go to the bureau chief."

When the words fell, before Zheng Pu could answer, he patted his forehead again, "I forgot, I came to disturb Brother Zijin's business. Brother Zijin, I'm going to Wenshan County, I don't know when I'll be back. It just so happened that Brother Zijin Xiu Mu, so I wanted to hold a banquet to say goodbye tomorrow, and I would also invite you to come. Well, I also asked Brother Zijin to invite Brother Xiuran to come with me on my behalf."

"Okay! Practice for the great master, I have no reason not to go!"

A treat.

After Pang Hong left, Zheng Pu went back to his house to make up for his sleep.

However, when drowsiness surged up, he was suddenly startled again, his eyes were burning: Why did Pang Hong know that I am taking a break from Mu Xie for two days? ! ——
[Note 1: In history, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang took 3000 people from the two clans of the 獽蜑 to serve as Liannu fighters, and moved his family to live in Hanzhong County. 】

[Note 2: The position of protecting the army in Shu Han has always been led by Zhao Yun.After Zhao Yun died of illness, Zhuge Liang assumed that the power of the Zhonghu Army was too great, so he divided it into five, namely the Zhonghu army, the front guard army, the right guard army, the left guard army, and the rear guard army.In the late Shu Han period, the military power in the Shu army was still not proportional to the official position.For example, after Xiahouba surrendered to Shu, he was worshipped as a general of chariots and cavalry, but he was still led by Jiang Wei, who had a lower official rank, as General Wei. 】
