Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 827
In the city of Wuzhou, Xiao Jiasui, the Protector of South Lingnan, was entertaining Chen Wenzhao with a banquet in honor of Guixi's appeasement.

This meeting was also the first time that the two of them had the time to sit down and talk in detail. It was different from the previous formal occasions where they only talked about business in a few words and then went their separate ways.

Not surprisingly, Xiao Jiasui will soon be the Governor of Eastern Guangdong Province.And just looking at Chen Wenzhao's name, one can tell that this person will be the future governor of Guangxi Province.

Therefore, this banquet is said to be Xiao Jiasui's way of comforting Chen Wenzhao, who has been working hard in recent days, but it is better to say that this banquet is a way for the two future neighbors to "spy on the enemy's situation."

Chen Wenzhao was originally the former governor of the south of the Yangtze River, and his position is extraordinary, which also shows that he is very important in the Lu Qi dynasty.He and Zong Ze had always been friends, but they had been neighbors for a long time in Liangshan Boli.However, due to the summary of government affairs last year, the corruption of officials in the Jiangnan province reached a new high, so he was first reprimanded by the emperor.It can be said to have laid the groundwork for his current fate.

The current Chen Wenzhao not only lost the important position of Jiangnan governor, but also lowered his official position by one level compared to before.Although this matter was settled in West Guangxi, Chen Wenzhao's promotion again was just around the corner.

Originally a little pale, after these two months of hard work, it has turned into a healthy rosy complexion.Although the body is still emaciated, it makes people feel much healthier.

Two months of hard work followed the Lingnan army to pacify the people in western Guangxi, organize the people into households, and even mediate the conflicts between the indigenous people in western Guangxi and the Han people, and the conflicts between the Lu Qi court.

The former is the key, the latter is dispensable.Because wherever Lu Qi's army passed by, the young chieftains obediently gave up all the political rights they had obtained from the Southern Song Dynasty in the past.

Lu Qian would not really ask them to be chieftains.Jimi Prefecture is where they belong.Of course, the governors of the state can be served by these indigenous leaders, but some assistant officials in the state are sent by the Lu Qi court.

The imperial court will also set up Xuanzheng Department, schools, hospitals and other facilities there. That is to say, from the beginning, Emperor Lu did not intend to ignore them. From the beginning, Lu Qian wanted to infiltrate them.

The natives were naturally unwilling, but they had no choice but to be subdued.The loser has no right to object.

As the protagonist of this banquet, Chen Wenzhao raised his glass frequently with a faint smile on his face.

Chen Wenzhao's leader was Xiao Jiasui, and beside him were some officials from the Lingnan Protectorate.

Wuzhou is the east gate of western Guangxi, where the Guijiang River, the Xunjiang River and the Xijiang River meet. Nearly a thousand rivers and streams flow into Wuzhou and flow into the Xijiang River, and then flow into the South China Sea through the Pearl River.

After the troops under the Lingnan Protectorate attacked the west of Guangxi, this place became the base camp of the army. Xiao Jiasui always sat here and dispatched material supplies.Because the army's westward march is not just a military mission, but also a political mission.

From organizing the households to Qimin, clearing up the fields and acres, to eliminating the enemy and leasing the land.There is also the establishment of a series of government offices, the existence of township officials, the birth of schools and hospitals...

This is inseparable from Xiao Jiasui, the number one figure in Lingnan.

Although he also hopes to gain military merits, since Xiao Jiasui joined Lu Qi, almost all his capital has been obtained from the battlefield, and in a sense, he regards himself as a military officer.Even if you are in charge of the Lingnan Protectorate, those who are very related to military affairs are different from pure civil servants.Why do you not want to go to the front line and command operations?It's like that general, how many people would like to stay in Fucheng peacefully, just patrolling and doing things on weekdays?
It is the general's wish to fight on the battlefield and win military exploits!

However, he stayed in Wuzhou this time, and he was in a good mood.Because he is closely related to Chao Gai and Lu Zhishen, those two seem to have no higher titles than Xiao Jiasui, but their energy in the government and the opposition is not comparable to that of Xiao Jiasui.

Xiao Jiasui got a very crucial hint in the communication with the two, and it was this hint that made him choose the current trajectory.And let go of the military a little bit, and put some distance away, he no longer needs to express the martial arts in the way of civil and martial arts.He should focus on demonstrating his talents in internal affairs, so that he can strive for a brighter prospect in the future!
Although the protagonist of the Guixi stage is destined to be Chen Wenzhao, Xiao Jiasui can also become an important supporting role.

Although there are many mountains and rivers in this place, according to statistics from various places, there are tens of millions of acres of arable land.Not to mention the endless wealth hidden in the mountains.Although the population seems to be a little small due to various reasons, this place is the main passage for the army to attack Dali in the future. It is the one that was used to open the way with money in the Zhao and Song Dynasties for more than [-] years. road.

Is the Zhao family short of horses?Not to mention that you can't buy horses in the north, and the price is too expensive, so Dali and Tubo came to mind.In this way, there will be a commercial road under the leadership of the state, which is based on Guangnan West Road and bought horses from Guizhou, Dali, and Tubo in later generations.

By the way, many agricultural technologies from the south were passed along the Wujiang River and the Yuanjiang River to many indigenous people in central Guizhou, easily overwhelming the primitive and backward agricultural production skills of slash-and-burn farming.

Although the latter area is almost all within the territory of Zhao and Song Dynasties, you can look at the famous names of Central and South Qianzhou——Zhujizhou led by Qianzhou.Its history can be traced back to the first year of Li Tang Kaiyuan.Qianzhou leads 50 Jimi prefectures, including Lao, Fu, and Qiang. The territory governs about 30 square kilometers at the junction of Chongqing, Guizhou, Hubei, and Guangxi. Jimi Prefecture appoints indigenous leaders to manage it.Zhao Song followed the rules.Almost unchanged in hundreds of years.

That place is still behind.

In fact, Guizhou did not produce horses, and all the horses came from Dali and Tubo.Especially the latter!Guizhou is more of a transit point, and Dali people can also be regarded as a middleman.

In other words, if you change the term "Guangxi Maima Road", everyone will be more familiar with it - the Ancient Tea Horse Road.

At the same time, this is also a road. The horses are sold to Zhao Song, and the money obtained is not to be brought back to the hometown, but to be used to buy silk, porcelain, tea, cloth and other utensils.Just like the transaction between Zhao Song and Khitan Xixia, this is a complete transaction chain.

And now what Lu Qi wants to plan is to follow this trade road that has a history of more than a hundred years. After being detonated at a certain explosion point, he will lead the war directly to Dali.

That Zhong Xiang and Wang Qing have been gearing up and eager to try for a long time.

However, war needs to be consumed, whether it is money, food or military supplies, and neither of them can be supplied by western Guangxi, so only eastern Guangdong can be relied on.

Chen Wenzhao was envious of Xiao Jiasui. To Xiao Jiasui, who was in charge of the Eastern Guangdong Province, this was a signal that Emperor Lu wanted to reuse him.

Chen Wenzhao himself once had a bright future, but he screwed up in Jiangnan.Although he was not involved in those dirty things, how could he, as the governor of Jiangnan, not have the slightest responsibility?

He is very satisfied now that he has such a future.Emperor Lu still gave him a share of affection, although this affection is not as good as that of Tao Zongwang, who is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the largest contractor in the world, and the greasy smell in the project is even washed away quit.The Ministry of Industry is the hardest-hit area for corruption and crimes every year, but Tao Zongwang can "stay out of it".And that's what love does.

However, Chen Wenzhao couldn't envy this kind of love, because he walked his own path. If he could join Liang Shanshuibo with Zongze and his son, would he still be with Zong Ying now?Zongze's sons are all officials in frontiers.

Emperor Lu has shown mercy to his subordinates, otherwise...

At the end of the banquet, when Xiao Jiasui sent Chen Wenzhao off, the latter was still thinking about it, and secretly made up his mind that he would do better in West Guangxi.Otherwise, he would really be in the same category as Sun Zhaoyuan and Li Mida.

There are also grades among the officials in the frontier.Guo Yong, Cheng Wanli, Song Jiang, Zong Ying, and Hu Cheng are all at the same level.It was either because he took effect early, or because he had various ties with Emperor Lu, and the relationship was unusual, so his status naturally exceeded one head.

And the rest of Li Guang, Li Liang, Zhang Xiaochun, Chen Guan, Chen Zhenghui, etc. are at another level.These people either have extraordinary abilities, outstanding achievements, or unusual qualifications. Chen Wenzhao belongs to this category.

But now he has to be with the most inferior Sun Zhaoyuan, Li Mida, Huang Qianshan and others.Huang Qianshan was the magistrate of Mingzhou before. After Chen Wenzhao was demoted to West Guangxi, the governor of Jiangnan fell on him.Although there is a word "xing" in front of it, as long as you don't make mistakes in a year or two, your status will naturally be unshakable.Just like Chen Zhenghui before him, the same is true for the new governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang who jumped from the governor of Hangzhou.

Looking up at the sky, the sky was gloomy, and the raindrops were crackling.In summer, it is rainy in Lingnan.

"Chen Xianggong, such weather is inconvenient for material transfer and storage, and we must pay attention to consumption." Out of kindness, Xiao Jiasui lightly mentioned Chen Wenzhao.Although he felt that Chen Wenzhao had also been an official for many years, he should be well aware of this trick.

The latter sighed slightly when he heard this, of course he knew.Using rainwater to make grain "moldy, black and rotten" is a common method on the grain road.In fact, compared with the troubles in food, the western Guangxi border area is currently experiencing constant rain. He is more concerned about "regulating households to equalize the people", "clearing the acres of land", and "leasing land".

This is Guixi.Whether it is to organize households for the people, to clear the land, or to lease the land, to transfer money, food and materials, to gather and relieve local refugees, the continuous rain is really a big hindrance.There is indeed more material loss than usual.

"It's really not the right time for this rain!" Chen Wenzhao showed a wry smile on his face: "Whether it's clearing Zhang Zhang's land, organizing households, renting land, or recruiting refugees and refugees, this rain will teach officials to do it out of thin air. Three more points of difficulty."

Xiao Jiasui said comfortingly: "Tao Tao's general trend has long been clear. You just need to be careful, and there will be no more accidents. People everywhere are attached to each other, and this is all thanks to Mr. Chen."

"I hope so." Chen Wenzhao said with a wry smile on his face, looking at the crackling rain.
