Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 841 Warm water boiled frog

"Liu Zhang's matter is just a trivial matter. I'll let Jing Wusi look after it later. Don't worry about it. Don't tell me. During this period of time, you in the South Study Room are only staring at a child with a yellow mouth, what else? Don't do it?"

Mu Jing is not very concerned about Liu Zhang's affairs, after all, Liu Zhang is not Liu Yan, and they are not rivals on the same level.

He dared to lift Liu Zhang to the top.

The biggest reason is that Liu Zhang is not a big threat to himself.

If Liu Zhang can turn the tables and seize power under his own eyes, then it will be useless for him to live in Mulongtu, who is all over the world, and he can just die.

So listening to Hu Zhao nagging about this matter, he felt a little upset, raised his head slightly, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, looked at Hu Zhao, and asked, "Are you feeling a little flustered when you are idle?"

"Zhao is not stupid!"

Hu Zhao curled his lips: "If it is Liu Yan, I still have three points of my heart. A mere Liu Zhang can still make me pay all my attention to him. The Minghou Mansion is already busy with just inspecting officials. But here it is, staring at him is just incidental, after all he has also recruited some officials, I have to see if these people can be used!"

"Investigate officials? Then report the situation and let me know!"

Hearing this, Mu Jing pinched the wrinkles on his forehead with his fingers. He felt that there were wrinkles before he was in his early 20s. People age so fast, so he couldn't help sighing, "I don't know if I have time this year." Let me go to make an inspection, let me have a preparation in my heart first!"

This Yizhou Xinde is due to the alternation of old and new powers, and the place is bound to be chaotic. He wants to go to inspect it himself, which will surely appease the hearts of the people, but he may not be able to walk away now. First of all, the army cannot let go.

"Currently in Yizhou, Berkshire is considered the most stable!"

Hu Zhao began to report: "When Bajun encountered Gan Ning as a bandit, it cleaned up once, and many officials suffered. After Xi Zhicai came in, he also took the opportunity to pull out a group of people. When we came in, Berkshire's power is in a vacuum, and it just happens to be able to quickly replenish its own people!"

"How is Ye Ru's performance?"

Mu Jing personally released Ye Ru from Hanzhong because he was optimistic about him, thinking that he could hold Berkshire down, but he didn't dare to guarantee the result.

"Ye Mingsheng's ability can be said to be good. After he took office as the prefect of Berkshire, he acted vigorously. First, he transferred a group of direct descendants from the Hanzhong prefect's mansion. With the support of the direct descendants, he began to investigate the situation of county magistrates in various counties. Before, our army was still stationed in Berkshire. It was a coincidence that you just held a military conference. The generals of both the Mu army and the Yizhou army were here. He took advantage of this momentum and moved so fast that I was a little bit nervous. I am impressed!"

Hu Zhao said: "This person has more experience, and he can enter the South Study Room and assist Liu Jin in handling government affairs!"

"You like him so much?"

"He is a capable person, but he has never been able to meet a stage for him to perform. In Hanzhong in the past, maybe it was because the kid from the Su family was a bit restrained in doing things. In Berkshire, he was allowed to let go of his hands and feet. !"

Hu Zhao thought for a while, then said softly: "Actually, those of us who deal with government affairs are inexperienced, and there is still a gap between some experienced people. Whether it is me, Liu Jin, Xi Zhicai, if it is not lucky, To meet the Ming Lord, it is impossible to occupy a high position at this age, the more so, I feel that our Minghou Mansion needs some veterans to sit in charge!"

The bigger the territory, the more Hu Zhao has this idea.

Ming Hou Mujing is too young, young people are in charge of the family, and they are more inclined to young people than employing people. Young people are not bad, they are full of enthusiasm in doing things, they are a little less calculating about their own gains and losses, and a little more pragmatic. But after all, some experience is missing.

"The veteran sits in charge, what does that mean?"

Mu Jing stared at Hu Zhao suspiciously, and he invited him out, and this sentence seemed to point to something.

"Cai Jijiu!" Hu Zhao said: "Cai Jijiu is a bit pedantic, but he is indeed more experienced than all of us in dealing with government affairs. It is not in vain that this person was a great sage in the imperial court!"

"It's not that I don't want him to enter Minghou's mansion, it's that he can't think about it!" Mu Jing said with some regret, Cai Yong's talent, how can he not know, but this old man is not very optimistic about him, and he has no intention of being with him. Official here.

"I guess he should think about it now!"

"why?"

"Because he has a goal!" Hu Zhao had a calculating smile on his lips, and said in a low voice, "Jing Wusi should have discussed it with you. He had a close correspondence with Situ Wang Yun of the Chang'an court!"

"What do you want to say?" Mu Jing narrowed his eyes.

"Cai Shangshu naturally wouldn't do anything to hurt the lord, but if he had the intention of persuading the lord to be loyal to the court, how could he not get involved?" Hu Zhao said.

"That's a good idea!"

Mu Jing's eyes suddenly brightened: "The old guy has been thinking about how to be loyal to the Han Dynasty and how to save the common people all day long. If we don't give him a chance, it's unreasonable. Wang Situ has helped us a lot!"

He had always wanted Cai Yong to come out of the mountain, and when he left Hanzhong, Cai Yong had no choice but to come out to cheer for him. The effect was particularly good. The stability of Hanzhong was his confidence to seize Yizhou.

But the old guy saw that Mujing had stabilized Yizhou, so he retreated, and now he's back to Hongdumen to study and teach.

Mu Jing naturally knew about the plan between him and Wang Yun.

Mu Jing couldn't hide this.

But Mu Jing doesn't take it seriously, because he knows Cai Yong too well. For a person like Cai Yong, the bottom line is too clear. There are some things that he can't do without supervision.

If Wang Yun's lobbying can be used to let him come out and sit in the Minghou Mansion for himself, it will be perfect.

"Kong Ming, I leave this matter to you!" Mu Jing said.

"You are his son-in-law, or the lord of the Minghou Mansion, you go in person, be more sincere!"

"You suggested this suggestion, so of course you go!" Mu Jing said shamelessly.

The corner of Hu Zhao's mouth twitched, why, he was not the one who plotted against him, and he would be the only one left when the time came.

"There's one more thing you'll have to see for yourself!"

Hu Zhaohe had no choice but to accept his fate for a public affairs like Hu Zhaohe's. He put the matter aside first, then took a dossier out of a pile of dossiers and handed it to Mujing.

"Very important?"

"It is the biggest benefit of Yizhou!"

"Salt!"

Mu Jing had already guessed before opening the file.

"It's salt!" Hu Zhao said: "The salt from Bashu can be used everywhere, but the salt affairs have never been controlled by the Yizhou government, but by the major families. The annual salt imports are not approved by us, but by local counties. The government can approve it, and the most important thing is that salt is a necessity, they are not afraid of not selling it at all, and threaten us with confidence!"

"The largest salt wells in Yizhou are all in Jiangyang!" Mu Jing opened the file, looked carefully, and said, "Fushi Well and Dagong Well can already support the salt supply of the entire Southwest, what a huge profit! "

Well salt in Bashu has a long history. During the period of Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the salt unearthed from Fushi Well and Dagong Well could shock the court.

"We have to take back the salt affairs!" Hu Zhao said.

"Now is not the time!"

Mu Jing shook his head and said bluntly: "I dare not touch their bottom line!"

When Yizhou was seeking stability, he was a dragon crossing the river and not afraid of mountain tigers, but if he fell out with local snakes, it might not have a big impact on the overall situation, but small things will inevitably continue, which will affect his deployment at that time.

"Ke Yizhou's salt tax is the key to our income!" Hu Zhao emphasized.

"I know!"

Mu Jing said: "However, regarding the matter of salt affairs, we can't be too hasty. We should compare our hearts with our hearts. If others dare not give us the space to live, we will dare to rise up. If we beat some people who eat to death, they will not fight us desperately." , when the time comes, the cheap ones will be the outsiders, how many people want to see our jokes!"

"You can't have them like this forever!"

"Of course we can't follow them like this. Salt work is the most important thing in Yizhou. Sooner or later, it will be taken back. I even want to take two wells. But this matter is about strategy, and the frogs need to be boiled in warm water!" The corner of Mu Jing's mouth slightly Raising his hand, a sinister smile appeared on his face, which made Hu Zhao feel a chill.

"What do you want to do?" Hu Zhao asked.

Mu Jing replied darkly: "Of course it is to live in harmony with them. Not only can we not end their nest, but we also have to do business with them. I am the best at doing business!"
