The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 853
On the second day, Lin Yifan held a court meeting to discuss the affairs of the Western Regions.

For this war, no one expected such a result. The Southwest War has just ended, and things are still in a thousand threads.

On the other side of the Western Regions, the land was expanded for thousands of miles. For a while, the manpower of the imperial court became stretched again.

"It is really wise for Your Majesty to set up the three major governor's mansions in the Western Regions." Han Song stood up and said, "The people of the place are not supported, and strict military control must be implemented to maintain stability. enough time."

"However, the imperial court has already selected and dispatched a large number of officials to the southwestern countries to take up their posts, and there are no official schools waiting for officials." Han Song said with a wry smile, "It is so difficult to select the Southwest as an official, and then let the officials go thousands of miles away. I'm afraid there are very few applicants."

Everyone felt the same when they heard the words. The west of the Western Regions is really too far away. It takes half a year to go there.

What's more, if you go to the frontier, the farther you are from the center, the easier it will be to be forgotten.Coupled with the fact that the customs are very different and it is difficult to adapt, the feeling of homesickness is even more urgent.

Lin Yifan nodded slightly. He also knew that wanting to rule a huge territory would indeed be a huge test for an ancient empire with inconvenient transportation.

However, these territories are not just for today's people, but for future generations, and they cannot be given up no matter what.

"Dear dear ministers, do you have any suggestions?" Lin Yifan immediately turned his attention to the ministers.

After a moment of silence, Murong Kang took the lead to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that in order to consolidate the new land, we need to implement the strategy of the Western Regions and relocate the population. With the Chinese population settled, the Chinese can be used as the foundation and firmly rooted in the local area. .”

Lin Yifan nodded, "Murong Aiqing's words are a fundamental solution, a long-term solution. However, immediate solutions must also be considered. After all, military control should not be implemented for too long, otherwise it will easily lead to backlash."

"This, I'm ignorant, there's no way to solve it." Murong Kang thought for a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Your Majesty, the most urgent thing to govern the three new lands is to establish the Tianhua system in the local area, and the most important thing is the selection of officials just mentioned." Ye Hongyu stood up and said.

"Oh, does Ye Aiqing have a solution?" Lin Yifan asked quickly.

"I am ashamed of myself. Just as the chief minister said just now, the selection of officials is very difficult. There are not many officials in the official affairs department under the jurisdiction of the minister."

"However, I believe that on the new land, we can only retreat to the next best thing, and use the barbarians to rule the barbarians." Ye Hongyu continued, "Excluding the Beiting, the population of Zhenxi and Zhennan is 700 million. If they are transferred from the imperial court, Official management requires at least thousands of people, and the imperial court simply cannot afford it.”

"If most of the middle and low-level officials are appointed by local people, our court only needs to select a few hundred officials to take up the post. The biggest advantage of this is that we can completely win over a large number of local people for our own use and quickly restore the status of Xindi. Stablize."

After hearing this, Lin Yifan said worriedly: "This policy is an emergency measure, but I am worried that if I appoint local people, it will hinder the process of integration. What's more, I don't trust those people. They are very likely to collude with the motherland. , to create a rebellion."

"Your Majesty, I have a plan for this." At this time, Guo Huaili stood up and said, "Why don't you exchange officials from the two places, let the Shayer people manage the Wukaner people, and let the Wukaner people manage the Shayer people?" Er people? In this way, they can cut off their roots in the local area and make them completely dependent on my support from Tianhua."

Lin Yifan's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "Guo Aiqing's words are wonderful, what do you think?"

Everyone was also impressed by Guo Huaili's plan, and they all seconded their proposals.This trick is too poisonous, so the local officials can only rely on the breath of the Tianhua government to do things.

"Haha, well, now the problem of selecting and appointing officials has been solved more than half. Then, what do you think, how should the administrative system of Xindi be divided?" Lin Yifan immediately laughed with a lot of relief.

"Your Majesty, since the three places have been incorporated into our Tianhua territory, they should naturally be under the same system as our Tianhua." Han Song said, "I suggest that for the Beiting land, the grassland state system can be implemented, and for the other two places, It should be the system of the state and county."

"The ministers and others seconded the proposal." The ministers also had no objections, and immediately echoed.

Lin Yifan nodded slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "In this case, the five governor-generals of the former Sayyer Khanate will be broken up and three states will be established, namely Changzhou, Longzhou, and Shengzhou. The former Wukan The five provinces of China were merged into two prefectures, namely Kezhou and Jingzhou. As for Beiting, it was divided into two prefectures, the North and the South. Fuzhou was the former land of the Eastern Golden Wolf. Zhou. How do you love me?"

The ministers immediately shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."

"Okay, I've decided on the name, how to divide the land, you can discuss it later." Lin Yifan's most distressing thing now is that with the expansion of the territory, the name of the state capital is becoming more and more difficult to choose, so he can only give it randomly. named.

"Your Majesty, since Xindi already has a state name, should the systems of the southwestern countries be finalized as soon as possible?" Han Song stood up and said after writing down the previous place names.

Lin Yifan couldn't help pondering for a moment, before he said: "In the land of Tianyun, the name of the state remains unchanged. The land of Yunzhao will be named Zhaozhou, and the land of Liyue will be named Lizhou. Wuze Mana will be named Wuzhou , Forget it, let’s call it Zezhou. As for the land south of Lingnan, it’s called Lingzhou...”

"Your Majesty, this Lingnan Kingdom has not been incorporated into our country." Han Song said quickly, with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"Oh, I forgot. The Lingnan Kingdom has always been obedient, and I feel very relieved." Lin Yifan then remembered that the Lingnan Kingdom was not an enemy of Tianhua, and now it is the only remaining southern kingdom.

However, there is still a country in the heart of the Central Plains, which made Lin Yifan very uncomfortable, and immediately said: "I passed the decree to the Lingnan King, I am very satisfied with his obedience, and made him come to the capital to face the saint."

All the ministers couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the words, the Lingnan Kingdom might not be able to keep.

If the Lord of Lingnan came here in person, he could at least be a wealthy idler in the capital. If he didn't come, Tianhua would have an excuse to annex Lingnan.

Relying on Tianhua's power to wipe out the Three Kingdoms in one go, even if he wanted to come to the Lingnan King, he would not dare not to come.The general trend of the world is all in Tianhua.In the whole world, anyone who opposes Tianhua is like a mantis with arms, overreaching.

"By the way, I have something else to announce to you all." Lin Yifan had a deep smile on his face, "The crown prince has found a good match, and the selection of the crown prince and concubine has been decided. I plan to establish a concubine for the crown prince in the early spring of next year. "

All the ministers couldn't help being in an uproar when they heard the words.Immediately, they asked the crown princess who the woman was.

All the ministers actually had some selfish intentions, and after His Majesty stopped accepting new concubines, they all focused their attention on the crown prince.

As the crown prince gets older, everyone selects ladies from the family, hoping to be able to fall into the eyes of His Majesty, Queen, and the crown prince, and become the candidate for the crown prince.

As a result, His Majesty directly announced that there was a candidate for the Crown Princess, which caused everyone to be suspicious, but which minister's daughter could make the Crown Prince fancy?
