Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 947 Bewitched
In the seventh year of Chuping, the last ten days of the first month.

Jiangzhou City.

There is still snow on the ground, but it is obvious that the weather has begun to warm up a lot. It can be seen with the naked eye that the snow is gradually melting into water. The surrounding streets are wet everywhere, but the air after the snow melts is not bad.

It has been nearly a year since Mujing led his army to the expedition.

In the past nearly a year, Jiangzhou City has changed a lot from the outside. Although the former Jiangzhou City was the main city of Berkshire, it was just a backward city, not as good as Chengdu is not as good as Hanzhong Nanzheng.

But now, under the water, wood and civil construction strongly supported by the Minghou Mansion, Jiangzhou City has changed again and again. The city wall has been repaired several times, and part of it has been extended and rebuilt, which looks quite stalwart.

The development of the city is even more rapid. Not to mention the current Jiangzhou is located in the main urban area of ​​Jiangbei, even the Yuzhong Peninsula in the south of the Yangtze River has also changed greatly.

In the past, the Yuzhong Peninsula belonged to the suburbs of Jiangzhou. It was not considered an urban area. Most of them were farmland and rural areas. It used to be the most backward and wild place in Jiangzhou, but now it has become a prosperous place in Jiangzhou.

Jiangzhou is now the state city of Yizhou, the political center of a state. If Yizhou is a country, it will be the capital of the country.

Although Yizhou people are overcrowded, they still want to live and work here in peace and contentment. Whether they want to have a promising official career or want to be a good man under the emperor's feet, many people have already moved to Jiangxi spontaneously without the proposal of the state pastoral office. state.

In just one year, the population of Jiangzhou skyrocketed by more than half.

The main city of Jiangzhou has limited capacity, so where the population can live and work in peace and contentment with this skyrocketing population is naturally the Yuzhong Peninsula.

The Minghou Mansion built no less than ten piers, and added countless boats on both sides of the river. Crossing the river only takes a quarter of an hour.

This is the influence brought by the main city of a state.

At the same time, with Jingping Mu's business as the mainstay, many big players in the business world have begun to enclose land and build houses in Jiangzhou. The land in the Yuzhong Peninsula has given rise to an unprecedented explosion of real estate in this era.

Minghou Mansion.

The victory news from the front line came one by one, which made the Minghou Mansion even more excited. Victory can inspire people's hearts. The victory on the front line is also the achievement of the representative center. In Yamen, everyone worked very hard, and there was an endless stream of footsteps coming in and out.

In Zhaoming Pavilion, Hu Zhaopan was reviewing the memorials in his hand before sitting in the case.

"Master Changshi, this is Hanzhong's plan to open up the Chi Road in Xiangyang County!"

"Leave it alone!"

"promise!"

"Lord Changshi, Xiangyang is in a hurry. Nanyang intends to go south. The Guanzhong army's forward has passed Bowangpo, and they intend to march to Xinye!"

"Tell Zhang Song and Zhao Wei of the Northern Martial Hall, order them to discuss immediately, and arrange for the Violent Bear Army to go north to Xinye as soon as possible, and also tell them that Zhaoming Pavilion means to seek stability for the time being, but if necessary, they can fight locally , Deter the enemy!"

"promise!"

"Lord Changshi, this is Guanghan prefect Huang Quanhuang. Regarding the results of the Guanghan county officials' examination, Dongcao has arranged for people to check, but you need to sign and stamp it to be effective!"

"After I read it carefully, I will give you an answer!"

"promise!"

"..."

All morning, things, big and small, were constantly handed in from the outside, and then the finished memos were handed out one by one by the clerks, and the whole Zhaoming hall was never quiet.

Huo Yu brought a cup of tea himself, and said with a smile: "Lord Hu, take a break. My lord has always suggested combining work with rest. If he knows, I'll exhaust you from taking care of you. I won't have any good results!"

"He is a person who can only talk but can't do it!"

Hu Zhao sneered, put down the brush, scratched his hair, and a white hair fell down, which made him sigh a little: "Working under him, I am afraid it will be difficult for the old man to live a few more years! "

Mujing's southern expedition involved too much power from the Minghou Mansion, and for the sake of the government of the four counties in the south and middle, even Liu Jin went south to sit in the town, causing the current Minghou Mansion to push all matters, big and small, to him. head up.

"This is also the lord's trust in Lord Changshi!" Huo Yu said silently.

"Old Hu, I shouldn't have softened my heart back then. If I didn't follow him out of the mountain, I can live a better life now. Now I'm on a thief ship!" Hu Zhao ate the tea in one gulp, and then threw himself into the pile of tea. in the playbook.

"Master Changshi!"

After a while, Tan Zong walked in from the outside, one step up and one step down, and walked up to Hu Zhao before bowing as a salute.

His legs and feet are inconvenient, and he has the special power of Mujing, and he will not kneel when he sees anyone, whether it is a superior or a colleague.

"Tan Zong, what's the matter?" Hu Zhao raised his head and asked.

"There is some movement in the State Shepherd's Mansion. I think you need to let the adults know!"

Tan Zong said.

Now the top leader of Jiangzhou is naturally Hu Zhao, so Jingwu Division must get Hu Zhao's permission to act, even if Hu Zhao doesn't like Jingwu Division's methods, some things have to be known to Hu Zhao.

"What are they trying to do?"

Hu Zhao said helplessly: "This Liu Zhang is really a bit tenacious. He has been defeated repeatedly and defeated repeatedly. If it is not useful for the lord to keep him, I should personally kill him!"

During Mujing's expedition, it was not the first time Liu Zhang played tricks, if counted, this should be the third time.

For the first time, he wanted to force the palace.

This time, he contacted a lot of ministers from the former Yizhou Ministry, and joined forces to remonstrate, asking Minghou Mansion to return Quanzhou Mufu Mansion. There was a lot of noise, only the great Confucianists of Yizhou who stood up, the prefect of Ba County, and the prefect of Shu County The elite officials in the mansion are better.

But this time, the action was anticlimactic, and there was no need for the Minghou Mansion to take action. Ye Ru, the prefect of Ba County, and Li Yan, the prefect of Shu County, joined forces to kill the Quartet, and easily suppressed the matter.

Then the second time, it was civil unrest.

During the rainy season in July and August last year, some floods occurred in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and many people who came to attack fertile fields and houses were flooded. , Tens of thousands of people clashed in Jiangzhou City.

Liu Yan has not ruled Yizhou for a long time, but his prestige is not weak. Liu Zhang raised his arms, and he still has some influence. He used some family gentry who supported him in advance to store a lot of food, but let him take advantage of this opportunity to buy it. Many people's hearts have also allowed the State Shepherd's Mansion to establish a certain reputation during this time.

"He probably wants to win over Captain Changshui!" Tan Zong said: "Before he sent his men to contact Captain Changshui. Recently, I feel that he seems to be in control of Captain Changshui's weakness!"

"Changshui Battalion, Shenwei Fifth Battalion, soldiers and horses defending Jiangzhou City, does he want to mobilize troops?"

Hu Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "What is the reaction of Master Cai Yong?"

"Lord Cai Yong probably didn't get any news. In the past six months, the State Shepherd's Mansion had some doubts about Master Cai Yong's position, so he was a bit alienated. Master Cai Yong focused on building schools in various counties, and was temporarily unable to intervene in these matters.

"Let him know!"

Hu Zhao said: "Let me see if he is going to move. If he moves, it is a good thing. Changshuiying...although it is not absolutely reassuring, but it is not a worry. After all, if it can become the fifth battalion of Shenwei, it should be Don't trust, but when it's time to keep an eye on it, you must keep an eye on it. Now that the Southern Expedition has won a complete victory, the day for the lord to return to the teacher and go to the north is about to be settled. Don't make trouble at this time. Even if they really want to move, they won't Matters must be overwhelmed by the slightest influence!"

"Yes!"

Tan Zong nodded.

"Just in case, secretly mobilize the imperial guard battalion, the treasury in the city, the grain depot, the arsenal, the Minghou mansion, the state pastoral mansion... the military industry department outside the city, the science and technology academy... none of these places can be messed up!"

"Yes!"

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

Compared with the Minghou Mansion, the State Shepherd's Mansion is a bit deserted.

Because everyone in Yizhou knows that the center of Yizhou's rule is in the Minghou Mansion, not the State Shepherd's Mansion. , may not be able to know how many core secrets of Yizhou.

Liu Zhang is one year older again, perhaps because of his experience, he has matured a lot.

Liu Zhang in history was another adou who couldn't support the wall. Liu Yan left him a solid foundation, but Liu Bei took it in a few years, but this is also due to Liu Yan's arrangement of everything. alright.

On the contrary, if Liu Zhang didn't get enough experience, he would rush to the top position, and he would naturally be overjoyed and lack management ability.

Now Liu Yan was defeated and died early, leaving a mess. Although he still took over the position of Yizhou Zhoumu, he was just a puppet who was emptied. Whenever he thought of the grievance he had suffered, he felt a kind of anger.

This kind of anger has become the driving force for his growth.

This also allowed him to grow up by leaps and bounds in the past two years, from an ignorant boy to a well-established Yizhou state shepherd.

"Lord Zhou Mu, time won't wait for me!" Liu Rui saluted Liu Zhang respectfully and said in a low voice.

"Do you have to move?"

Liu Zhang gritted his teeth: "Now in Yizhou, there is an iron bucket operated by the herd thief. How can I move it?"

"If the bandits are allowed to lead the army back to Jiangzhou City, does Lord Zhou think you will have a chance in the future!" Liu Rui asked.

"Cousin?"

"Lord Zhou Mu, you are the orthodox of Yizhou, and you can't bear to let the country left behind by your uncle be stolen by the shepherds like this!" Liu Rui said in a low voice: "As long as you successfully control Jiangzhou, and then raise your arms Huh, there must be people who are not convinced by the tyranny of the shepherds to stand up and support them, even if the herdsmen go north, the state shepherds still have the court to rely on, and it is not good to lead the soldiers of the court to go south!"
