Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 784 Difficult Choice (3)

"Let's talk about the title first." Zhou Cang said after a while: "All the civil and military people call me the Duke of the State. I don't think it is appropriate to call me that way. From now on, anyone who has an official position will be called an official but not a title. Those who have a title but no official Only then can they be called nobles. From now on, Xun Chen, Xu Shu and others can be called second ministers, political ministers or military ministers."

Zhou Chong said with a smile: "It is inevitable to be confused when they are called second phases. Can they also be called Xun Xiang and Xu Xiang?"

"Also, Wang Xiu, the governor of Jeju, is originally from Qingzhou and is already old. I intend to transfer Wang Xiu back to Qingzhou early next year to serve as Doctor Guanglu and the censor of the Overwatch Council. You go back to Zhou Yuan in the name of the Privy Council The letter ordered him to go to Jeju from Liaodong to assist Wang Xiu Zuozheng. After Wang Xiu left, he took over as the governor of Hanzhou, and Mu Jin served as the governor. Gongsun Yu, who was originally from Jeju, went to Jizhou to serve as the governor of Jizhou."

Hearing this, Zhou Chong's heart was pounding. It was Zhou Cang who was going to resettle Zhou Yuan, and put him in the remote Jeju, far away from the center.He didn't dare to speak too much, and took notes carefully.

"I have ordered Yu Shan, the commander of the guards, to go to Jeju to serve as General Pingyi, and to shoulder the responsibility of offering sacrifices to Elai and his father Yu Tongsao. Du Xi was transferred to Jizhou to serve as General Du Liao. Yu Shan and Du Xi were both generals who conquered Yi Lu Pan's temperance is under the jurisdiction of the northern governor."

Zhou Chong's heart tightened again, which was equivalent to Zhou Yuan being firmly controlled.It depends on what Zhou Yuan does in the future. If he does well, he may still gain Zhou Cang's trust. If it's not good... Zhou Cang has half given up on Zhou Yuan.I really don't know how many ideological struggles Zhou Cang made before he made such a decision.

"I don't need to tell Jin Yiwei what to do." Zhou Cang glanced at Zhou Chong, "That Zhou Liang, don't move unless there is something disobedient."

"Understood." Zhou Chong didn't dare to vent his anger.

"Besides, Pei Yuanshao sent a letter saying that Zhou Xin has gone to Jingnan. It seems that there are many difficulties there. Zhou Xin is short of helpers. You can send another document to the Privy Council, suggesting that Han Qian, the governor of Youzhou, go to the four counties of Jingnan to serve as the governor. , to assist Zhou Xin to appease the people. I heard that there are so many refugees pouring into Jiangnan Road, Yuan Mai, as a charity envoy, can’t just focus on the north, so I asked him to go to Jiangnan Road to relieve refugees.”

Cold sweat broke out slightly on Zhou Chong's forehead. On the surface, what Zhou Cang said was high-sounding, and a blind man could see that Han Qian and Yuan Mai must also be involved, but he didn't know how deep it was.Jin Yiwei needs to rectify it, and he doesn't know such important information.

With a thud, Zhou Chong knelt down on the ground: "This subordinate is not doing well, please punish the master."

"Get up, this matter has nothing to do with you." Zhou Cang said lightly, "The vacancy of the governor of Youzhou, follow the method of Xuzhou, and use election."

"Ma Tie has been in Jinyiwei for a long time. I want to expand the cavalry camp and lack the leading generals. Therefore, I need to transfer Ma Tie to Hexi to assist Junyi in taking over the left of the Xiongnu."

"no problem."

"Don't hold on. I know you are also short of manpower. After the unification of the world, Jinyiwei's burden will only be heavier. I will divide Jinyiwei into four towns, following the model of the five-army governor's mansion. The north of the Yellow River is Beizhen, and Mubei will be in charge Commander; the south of the Yangtze River is Nanzhen, and Munan is the commander; the west of Tongguan and Jingzhou is the West Town, and Muxi is the commander. The Central Plains is Zhongzhen, which is under your concurrent management, and the three towns are also controlled by you, Zhang Zuo And Zhang You will be your deputy envoy, Zhang Yin will be the inspector envoy of the four towns, and Yu Yi will be the editor envoy."

"The Patriarch has thought carefully, and I will make arrangements when I get back."

"The world will be unified soon, and there are some people who don't need to hide. These people are unsung heroes who don't pursue fame and fortune, and we can't treat them badly. Those who can show themselves, you compile a list, smart and capable, I It should be reused. By the way, Han Shu is not included for the time being, and there are still things for him to do in Mengzhou."

"Yes, this subordinate thanked the Patriarch on their behalf."

"I won't be able to return to Jinan in a year or two. You tell Xun Chen to revoke the Jiangnan Road next year and ask him to produce a charter. What I mean is to cancel the pacification envoy and Zhou Xi to serve as the search envoy. Besides, the transportation between the north and the south is inconvenient after all, and we only rely on sea transportation. There are many risks, Yuan Huan is proficient in water conservancy, so he can bring more people to the south to investigate, and try to see if the canal can be connected to facilitate the communication between the north and the south. This is just an idea of ​​mine, and it needs to be carefully demonstrated and acted properly, and we must not start construction rashly."

"Write it down."

"I won't keep you anymore, go back and burn a stick of incense for your mistress for me."

Zhou Chong exited feeling his back was wet. This time Zhou Cang didn't kill anyone, but some people are destined to end badly.With the growth of power, Zhou Chong felt more and more pressure. In the past, he mostly spied on intelligence and supervised officials, but now he needs to analyze and judge from clues, and these judgments do not require conclusive evidence!too difficult!Zhou Chong decided to set up an institution similar to the Privy Council in Jinyiwei to conduct various analysis.

Zhou Cang closed his eyes slightly, planning the future war and the future strategy of governing the country, and did not deal with his son Lao Xin, perhaps this is the best destination for Zhou Yuan.

"Uncle, Yang Hu and Lu Kang came to say hello." Dianman whispered.

"Call them in."

"Teacher is well." Yang Hu and Lu Kang fell to their knees.

"Get up, you don't have to always salute in the future. It's fine to bow to each other in informal occasions." Zhou Cang looked at the two of them, the blush on his face hadn't dissipated, as if there was an argument. "You don't come here just to say hello."

"The two of us are studying history today, and I came to ask the teacher about something unclear," Yang Hu said. "With the national power of my great Han, I was able to forcefully conquer Cao Wei a few years ago. I don't know why there is no rush? Lu Kang thought it was because the north was not peaceful, so he acted like this to cut off his worries."

"Then what do you think? Why are you wondering about this?"

"Students don't know, but they think it's not just for this reason. We are puzzled because it took decades for Qin to destroy the six kingdoms, and only the second generation perished, while my great ancestor only took 20 years to destroy Qin Jianhan. Why?"

"Good question. Qin destroyed the six countries. I think the essence is that the system of prefectures and counties replaced the feudal system of feudal lords. Although the six countries were destroyed, their desire to restore the country was not dead, so they rebelled against each other. Tyranny of Qin Wudao is still second. However The system of prefectures and counties is the general trend and is in line with the way of governing the country. Therefore, Xiang Yu's enfeoffment has gone against social development, so Gaozu was able to build the Han Dynasty in accordance with the time. Now in the past 400 years, I think the system of prefectures and counties is good, but it needs to be governed by the common people Instead of relying solely on the emperor's words, he proposed a constitutional monarchy. You may wish to study the outline of governing the country again."

Yang Hu thought for a while and said: "Students understand that the teacher is not in a hurry to unify the world. It is not only out of military affairs, but to consolidate the constitutional monarchy and make it deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The teacher first took Xuzhou and Liaodong as the basis, and took Promote it in one place and avoid confusion caused by too much fluctuation at once.”

"You can't have both the fish and the bear's paw, you have to take the bear's paw." Zhou Cang nodded, a child can be taught.
