Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 140 Going North, Going North ([-])

"Qiao County is not our goal, nor is Chen County!" Gao Jingzong said with excitement, his voice suddenly rose an octave: "But after we take Qiao County and Chen County, they can be used as a gift, in exchange, to send To Huan Wen, Huan Da Sima and Xie An. For us, Qiao Jun and Chen Jun are just a land of the Four Wars, but for Huan and Xie, they have different meanings. The ancestral land should not be abandoned lightly, Chen Jun Heqiao County uses the two counties as a bait, and the Huan and Xie clans will never be able to resist this temptation! Then we can urge him to change to Nanyang..."

At this moment, a very familiar voice came from outside the hall: "Captain, there is no need to wait for Qiao Jun to get Nanyang before changing Nanyang, Nanyang is here!"

Gao Jingzong turned his head, but saw a fat figure holding a yellow brocade box with a mean smile on his face.Who is Chen Ying who is not Jianghuai Governor's Mansion Si Li joining the army? "Behind Chen Ying is Xu Jingxuan.

The two entered the festival hall and shouted: "Congratulations to the governor, the joy is not disgraceful."

"It's done?"

Xu Jingxuan said with a resentful smile, "The matter is only half done!"

"half!"

"That's right, the marriage proposal has not been done!" Chen Yingdao: "However, there is no need for a man to have a wife. The governor's wish has been fulfilled. Saying this, he handed the brocade box in his hand to Gao Jingzong.

Gao Jingzong opened the brocade box and saw that it turned out that it meant to eliminate, to recruit, to remove, to appoint officials. "General Examination of Documents · Election": "In the Eastern Han Dynasty, both elections and summons could become officials. Those who advance sequentially through the township elections are elected; At that time, people still took it as a honor to be called. Simply put, this is a letter of appointment, appointing Gao Jingzong as the governor of the Heluoyi Army.

When Gao Jingzong took over this appointment, he was regarded as an official of the fourth rank in the imperial court system, and if he was changed to a later generation, he would be an official of the hall level.

In fact, this governor is also a big pit. In a broad sense, the Heluo area has a large jurisdiction, extending to Tongguan and Huayin in the west, Xingyang and Zhengzhou in the east, Ruying in the south, and across the Yellow River to Jinnan and Jiyuan in the north.But these places are basically under the jurisdiction of the former Yan State, that is to say, Huan Wen used the city of Yan State to seal a false official like Gao Jingzong.

Gao Jingzong naturally didn't care, anyway, he didn't really want to be an official of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but needed a name of the court.After all, in this era, the influence of the Eastern Jin court is still there, at least the common people recognize it.

"The two of you are in the list, so don't gossip." Gao Jingzong said: He Mu, your task is to select literate people from all the refugees or Siwu City and Fuli City, organize an imperial examination, and select virtuous people. Select officials and enrich places. "

He Mu asked in puzzlement, "I know how to select virtuous ministers, but it's just... the imperial examination?"

Gao Jingzong explained: "Chen Qun founded Jiupin Zhongzheng, and specific officials assessed civil talents according to background, morality, etc., and were divided into nine ranks for recruitment. Jiupin Zhongzheng is the improvement of the investigation and examination. Officials were appointed to be in charge of the official reform. However, the power of the gentry was so powerful that it often affected the evaluation of talents by Zhongzheng officials. Later, the criteria were even limited to family background. This resulted in the phenomenon of "no poor family at the top and no gentry at the bottom". Not only blocked the The materials from the people also allow the family to control the materials from the court. In the eyes of the gentry, our Jianghuai Governor’s Mansion is like a "beige". They are not even interested in looking at it, let alone helping us govern the place. So the governor thought about it. Going forward, we need to change the employment system, don’t ask about background, don’t ask about family status, only ask about talent and learning, select talents with both ability and morality, govern the local area, develop production, and guarantee for the Northern Expedition.  …”

Xu Jingxuan, Liu Laozhi, He Mu, etc. looked at Gao Jingzong with deep eyes: "The governor is going to imitate Wei Wudi (Cao Cao) in issuing the order of seeking talents!"

He Mudao: "I will never disgrace your life. The governor has always been righteous and generous. I believe that many people will apply. Even if it is just a small official, I am afraid that countless people will squeeze their heads."

"Chen Sihu came at the right time. The governor occupied Fuli City and seized a lot. All kinds of properties have been counted, about [-] gold. The governor intends to sell all these properties to the Xin'an Business League, and buy additional grain, Armor and all kinds of weapons, cloth, mules and horses and other supplies!"

Chen Ying was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Commander, there is a limit to food. Our Xin'an Business Alliance can only provide 60 shi of food at most before the year."

"60 shi, that's too little!" Gao Jingzong said: "Murong Jun is poor, and millions of people in the northern counties and counties have been displaced. It is better to have more food. You have 1000 million shi, and the governor will not too much!"

Chen Yingdao: "Our Qimen Chen family has some relations with the Qiantang Ding family and the Wujun Zhu family, but we bought a batch of grain from the Ding family and the Zhu family!"

The Zhu family of Wujun is the Zhu family of Gulu Zhuzhang who looked around on the left side of the river. In the Han Dynasty, there was Zhu Maichen, when Emperor Wu was the prefect of Kuaiji, and when Emperor He was emperor, there was Zhu Liang, who served as Zheng (admonishment) doctor, Wujun prefect, There are many Zhu families in the county.From the end of the Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period, the Zhu family in Wujun began to prosper.In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it became Jiangzuosiwang. In this era, the Zhu family had Zhu Teng as the general of Jianwei, the three sons of Zhu Teng in the history of Wu (equal to the prefect), Zhu Xian as the history of Liang, and Zhu Bin as the interior of Runan. History, Zhu Chuo is the former battalion supervisor.Four prefects of one family, although not as good as Wang Xie, are still first-class wealthy.

But the most prominent thing about the Zhu family is not its official power, but its considerable economic strength.The Zhu family has a lot of land, nearly 20 yuan of fertile land, and more than 13 family shade households and tenants, which is nearly half higher than the 20 yuan of land of the Xie family in Chenjun. With 2000 fertile fields, at least [-] million shi of grain can be harvested every year. However, excluding the court tax and tenant rations, the Zhu family can still harvest more than [-] million shi of grain every year.

Gao Jingzong thought for a while and said: "The Zhu family is a vassal family of Huan Wen. If Sima Huan agrees, he will definitely sell the grain. However, the Zhu family has a big appetite, and I am afraid they will not see ordinary money. Then sell the shares of the salt mine. Give Huanwen [-]% of it, and under the protection of Sima Huan, no one dares to move the salt mine. How much grain will Sima Huanwen give us for [-] shi of refined salt every year!"

"One million shi!" Chen Ying said without thinking, "I can try my best to get it for the governor!"

"Okay!" Gao Jingzong said: "Chen Ying, I leave this matter to you. The governor wants food, and the soldiers... No matter how greedy Xi Tan is, his duties are limited and he can't meet our needs, so 60 Xin seized the money Among them are many calligraphy, paintings and antiques, one hundred thousand gold can be given out, whether it can be bribed or given as a gift, the governor hopes to get [-] crossbows and [-] sets of armor. We can make other things by ourselves!"

"Nie Yanshi, Zhang Tu"

"The end is here!" The two stood up

"You wait for the two Zhonglang generals' mansions, eight Zhechong captains, a total of 1 troops. Returning to the command of the commander-in-chief, immediately go up the Huai River and enter Nanyang..."

Nanyang is still the place that Gao Jingzong never forgets, he still wants to hold Nanyang in his hands!
