Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1239
The land of Bashu, the land of abundance, the most important are the two places of Bajun and Shujun, which are now Yuzhou and Shuzhou under the Minghou Mansion.

These two states are fundamental.

Under the leadership of Ye Mingsheng, Yuzhou's administration has developed fairly well, at least it has established itself.

But Shuzhou can't do it.

Because Li Yan had already been transferred out last year, the governor of Shuzhou was Zhao An, an old minister who had a lot of contacts with the local aristocratic family.

He will not be sorry for Minghou Mansion.

It's just that I'm still a bit indecisive in doing things, and I can't do anything with an iron fist.

So someone has to be replaced.

The next day, Mujing Zhaofazheng came to Zhaoming Pavilion.

Fazheng is very young, just a weak year, but now he is the head of the Salt Affairs Department. In the past two years, he has managed the Salt Affairs Department in an orderly manner.

Look at the ability, mainly look at the results.

The salt tax is now one of the main incomes of the Minghou Mansion, even comparable to the grain tax. After all, Yizhou is a place where salt is produced, and salt is still very important.

And the law is indispensable for collecting the salt tax.

His attack on the salt merchants was also fierce. I heard that he has been assassinated no less than three times in these years. It is already conceivable that he can force the salt merchants to assassinate him. The work around the waist is not forced to do anything, no one dares to be so bold.

"Director of the Salt Affairs Department, Fazheng, pay homage to the lord!"

In the past two years, Fazheng has not seen Mujing many times, but each time, he is very respectful, and he obeys Mujing, not only because of the kindness of knowing you, but also because of Mujing's ability. It is beyond the reach of ordinary people to create a set of salt orders called Yanyin and standardize the entire salt market.

"sit!"

Mu Jing didn't raise his head, he was reviewing a playbook with a pen, but he just spoke indifferently.

"promise!"

Fazheng sat down, motionless, and glanced at him, sitting there like a vajra.

Mujing didn't care about him either.

Do your own thing.

A whole hour passed like this.

At this time, Mujing raised his head slightly, looked at the cold sweat on Fazheng's forehead, and smiled. He was still too young and calm, but he couldn't calm down. The ruling party lacked a little patience.

But now it can only be used among the short ones.

Fazheng still satisfied him.

Mu Jing put down the pen in his hand, and then said to Huo Yu who was next to him: "Send all these memorials to Du Changshi's room, and tell him that I have sent them all back to him. As for how to solve them, he will solve them himself." Let's see!"

"promise!"

Huo Yu bowed his hands to accept the order, and then together with the two little clerks on the left and right, lifted up these memorials.

At this time, Mujing only paid attention to Fazheng.

"Xiao Zhi, wait a long time!" Mu Jing smiled, made tea himself, and then put a teacup on Fa Zheng'an and poured a cup: "This year's new tea, let's try it, it's not bad!"

"Thank you, my lord, for the tea!"

Fazheng's cold sweat had already stained the robe on his back, but at this time he had to make himself careful, be cautious in his words and deeds, and not say a word wrong, otherwise he couldn't tell what the consequences would be.

As the saying goes, companions are like companions to tigers, and Mujing is now the monarch of the southwest.

"I've asked people to check the account of the salt affairs!" Mu Jing said suddenly, "Do you know why someone suddenly asked you to check your account?"

"Subordinates are ignorant and guilty!"

Fazheng went inside the main hall, knelt down, regardless of 3721, there is nothing wrong with pleading guilty first: "Please punish me, my lord!"

"Stupid?"

Mu Jing shook his head: "Not at all, you are a very shrewd person, you can see it just from the account book, and I think that if you can compete with those salt dealers, you can always keep the salt affairs department in check. The person in this position is by no means an ignorant person!"

"As for guilt?"

Mu Jing asked: "What crime do you have, Minke's one, let's hear it!"

Fazheng was dripping with cold sweat, this Mujing didn't play his cards according to the rules.

"You are young, don't learn from those old guys!" Mu Jing said at this time: "Don't say that you are guilty or something, next time you are like this, no matter whether you are guilty or not, I will throw you in Dali Temple for interrogation Let's talk about it in the first trial!"

The laws and regulations of the Minghou Mansion have also begun to become more complete in the New Deal. Facao has the power to formulate laws and regulations, mainly to revise and challenge Mingke, while the Six Gates are law enforcement agencies, and Dali Temple is equivalent to a court. Is there any For the crime, Dali Temple has the final say.

"The subordinates are terrified!"

Fazheng was really a little panicked. He claimed to be smart, but after so long, he still couldn't figure out Mujing's thoughts. He always felt that every time he saw Mujing, he would be led by the nose by Mujing.

"You should be terrified!"

Mu Jing said: "I checked your accounts to give everyone an explanation. Your position as the director of the Salt Affairs Department is about to be handed over. Before handing over, you have to be clean and tidy, and you can't settle accounts for others. Chance, you know?"

This time, Fazheng understood.

He said in a deep voice: "The subordinates are grateful for the high hopes of the lord, and they will be the lord, and they will devote themselves to the Minghou Mansion and die!"

"I pulled you down from the Salt Affairs Department, are you still grateful to me?"

"If my lord didn't have a heavy responsibility, I would not personally arrange for someone to check the accounts for me when I was about to step down as the head of the Salt Affairs Department. This is for the sake of my reputation. How can I not be grateful!"

Fazheng said in a low voice.

"How wise!" Mu Jing smiled and asked, "Then have you guessed where I'm about to throw you?"

"I can't guess!"

Fazheng shook his head, but this is not the time to hide his clumsiness. A person's ability is the value of his existence and the foundation of his progress. At this time, he cannot be humble. Whatever he thinks of is what he thinks: "However, my subordinates think that the lord At this time, let me walk out of the Salt Affairs Department, there is only one possibility, the New Deal!"

"You are indeed good!"

Mujing was very satisfied with Fazheng's wit: "That's right, I'm going to use you to promote the New Deal, how dare you take on this task!"

"Subordinate willing!"

Fazheng naturally knows what kind of environment the New Deal is in now. It is a pit of fire. If it is not done well, it will definitely be punished. Anyway, whether it is done well or not, there will be problems.

If you are a smart person, hiding at this time is the best choice.

But Fazheng understood one thing.

Without giving, there is no gain.

At this time, if you can't advance and retreat with the lord, then you won't be able to gain the lord's absolute trust in the future. The New Deal has failed, as long as the lord is still there, there will always be a day of comeback.

"Aren't you afraid?" Mu Jing said: "Since ancient times, bloody reforms are inevitable. Those who reform will not die. They are depressed and unsuccessful. Even if Shang Yang's reforms established Qin's unification of the world, what will happen to Shang Jun in the end? You can imagine what will happen to you!"

"I have studied the New Deal, and I believe that the New Deal is the foundation of all generations and the well-being of the people. It is an honor to contribute to the New Deal. As for the success or failure of the New Deal, I have no regrets! "

Fazheng cupped his hands and said.

"it is good!"

Mu Jing shouted loudly: "You are good, very good!"

As he spoke, he slowly spread out a silk book in his hand, then took out the seal of the Marquis of Ming Dynasty, and directly stamped it on.

"take it!"

Mu Jing threw the silk scroll to Fa Zheng.

Nowadays, the official documents of the Minghou Mansion are all made of paper, and cloth is used. There is only one case, and that is the appointment letter. Because cloth is more expensive and more elegant, it has been followed this way.

"Governor of Shuzhou?"

Fazheng glanced at it and gasped. This is a step up to the sky. Even if he was given a deputy, he would be very happy. He didn't expect to be promoted directly to the governor.

Today, there are only eleven governors in the Minghou Mansion, corresponding to the eleven prefectures of the Minghou Mansion, which is equivalent to the feudal officials.

"Fa Xiaozhi, you are very young. Logically speaking, you should not be burdened with such a heavy position. You should be allowed to walk steadily step by step, but now there is really no one available. You are a certain person who is optimistic about you." , I hope you won't let someone down in the future, as long as you don't let someone down, you will be a seat in Zhaoming Pavilion from now on!"

Mu Jing said in a deep tone.

"No matter how much the subordinates pay, they must do their best to lay the foundation for the Shuzhou New Deal, and never let the lord down. If the Shuzhou New Deal cannot be implemented, the subordinates will not want to leave Shuzhou for half a step in this life!"

Fazheng knelt down to thank him, and said in a heavy voice.

..........................................

Mu Jing transferred the position of the governor of Shuzhou, and the layout of Yunzhou in Yuezhou was also started.

Yunzhou and Yuezhou are actually the four counties of Nanzhong.

Not long after the settlement of Nanzhong, although Cai Yong laid the foundation, the influence of the Minghou Mansion has not yet penetrated deeply. At this time, the reform of the system will certainly affect a lot.

"Fifth Yue in Yunzhou still has some skills, but Cai Tu..."

Mujing hesitated.

After Cai Tu withdrew from Jingzhou, he released him to Nanzhong. He is now the governor of Yunzhou, but Yunzhou has always been presided over by the Fifth Yue. Let alone whether he can stand firm, let’s say his right The attitude of the New Deal may not be willing to pay attention.

"Don't use people without suspicion!"

Hu Zhao looked at Mu Jing and said, "You said it yourself!"

"I know!"

Mu Jing responded to him angrily: "Although you say that, people's hearts are unpredictable. How can it be so simple, you should use it or you should use it, and you should doubt it or doubt it!"

"Cai Mengting is not a person who doesn't know the importance!"

Hu Zhao has confidence in Cai Tu.

"It won't be a day or two before he is in charge of the Cai family, because he is afraid that his family's concept is too strong!"

Mujing smiled wryly.

"Then give him a little stimulation!"

Hu Zhao is not a particular person, he is actually more ruthless than Xi Zhicai: "Don't you still have a trump card in your hand!"

"Cai Mao?" Mu Jing shook his head: "We can't use him. Jingzhou's army is unstable, and Cai Mao and Huang Zu are very important. Only then can Jingzhou settle down, so we can't waste all our efforts!"

Cai Mao definitely cannot be released and used.

"It can't be used, but it doesn't mean that you can't add some titles to him!" Hu Zhao said darkly: "If Cai Tu still wants to be the head of the Cai family in Jingzhou, then let him lose this idea, I don't believe it, He doesn't want to argue, don't say anything about the New Deal, even if it's a tyranny, he'll rush in, otherwise why would he come back from Nanzhong!"

"I rely on!"

Mu Jing suddenly came to his senses: "Hu Kongming, you are very insidious!"

"It's you who are treacherous, not me!" Hu Zhao said indifferently: "Only you can give the order, and I didn't say anything!"

"Sure enough, scholars are the most shameless!"

Mujing looked sideways at him, which is why scholars can do such things.

"Where's Yuezhou?" Mu Jing asked.

"Zhugexuan, haven't you always used it very smoothly?" Hu Zhao frowned: "Send him to Yuezhou, and he will definitely not have another word for you and the New Deal!"

Those who walked out of Mujing's side were inevitably influenced by Mujing.

"He, I have another important use, so I can't let him go to Yuezhou!"

"What reuse?"

"Huo Yu was injured in Luoyang back then, and now that he is getting older, he is no longer capable of doing many things. The position of the chief steward of Zhaoming Pavilion needs to be replaced by someone else!"

Mujing said.

Zhaoming Pavilion is now the central nervous system of the Minghou Mansion. The chief housekeeper here is not a matter of delivering some documents, but a pivotal position.

"Right!"

Hu Zhao took a look at Mu Jing and said, "Huo Zhongheng has been with you for so many years. He fought north and south, went in water and in fire, and never complained. He even blocked swords and arrows for you. If you lose energy, you can't do what you want, you should give him a rest!"

"Of course I know!"

Mu Jing sneered: "I can't find anyone. Who can take this position? It's not caring. I dare to use it!"

"Is Zhuge Xuan relieved?"

Hu Zhao narrowed his eyes.

"Let's make do with it, anyway, Huo Yu won't leave anytime soon, let's have a look first!" Mu Jing shrugged.

In fact, he still tends to train young people in his heart.

It's just that young people don't use it.

Not everyone is talented, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Zhuge Liang, these kind of geniuses who can make official careers at a young age, most of them are idiots, and they become talents because of the sweat and accumulated knowledge bit by bit and experience.

The reason why older people are more calm is because of their ability accumulated from life experience.

No matter how smart a person is, without the accumulation of experience, it will be difficult to achieve great things after all.

If Mu Jing didn't have the life experience of the previous life, he would not be able to sit firmly in the position of the protagonist. There are too many things to measure and understand.

"Let's talk about Yuezhou first!"

Mujing Road.

"Yuezhou!" Hu Zhao was also annoyed: "If it doesn't work, then transfer people from Jingzhou!"

"Who is it!"

"Hou Qing's right-hand man!"

"Chen Ya?" Mu Jing's eyes lit up: "Just after Jincao left, Hou Qing dragged him down to Xiangzhou after all the hard work. It's inappropriate for us to do this!"

"Do you have any other candidates?" Hu Zhao asked.

"What do you think of Liu Songxi?"

"Is it okay?" Hu Zhao frowned: "He has never been an official. He has been teaching for too long, and his bookishness is too strong. He may not be suitable for an official career. The gain will outweigh the loss!"

"Not necessarily!"

Mu Jing said: "Officials are all made by scholars. If you read more, you will have knowledge. As for experience, you can accumulate it. Liu Songxi has been studying in Hongdumen for many years, but he has gained fame, and he can be regarded as a New Dealer." One of the leaders in the academy, using him will bring some impetus to the New Deal!"

"You can try it, but if you find that there is a problem with his governance, you will be recalled immediately. It is not a good person who can be a good official. I don't doubt Liu Songxi's character and ability, but I always have doubts about his governance!"

"The New Deal is just crossing the river by feeling the stones, so let Liu Songxi go!"

Mu Jing decided: "In addition, let Kuai Wu assist, Kuai Wu's ability is there, but the stand is not firm enough!"
