Chapter 51 Layout

?

Recommended reading:?At night, Yuwen Wen, who had been tossing Zhou Faming and Tian Yilong, discussed matters with Deputy Envoy Zheng Wanqing in a room in the envoy's residence. This time, when he came to Yecheng, the envoy Yuwen Wen was the manager of the hand-off. Except for the lord in the court meeting, he recited lines and cried and robbed the world, he was responsible for chatting with the little emperor. Other matters were responsible for the deputy envoy Zheng Wanqing.

After several bargaining, after several revisions, the reward list of Shannan officials and soldiers and various promotions, awards and promotions were finally finalized. The imperial edict was in progress. After everything was prepared, the angel would follow Zheng Wanqing, who was returning to Shannan for a walk.

Yuwen Wen naturally stayed in Yecheng. As a representative of the royal family, he accompanied the emperor for several months. After the Double Ninth Festival, he could go back to Shannan and continue to harm the Chen State in Jiangnan.

Since June last year, Zhou and Sui have fought for more than half a year, with gains and losses, but the biggest gain is that the country and territory have finally become one: Shannan Jing, Xiang, An, Jiangling Four General Administration Offices, and Huangzhou General Administration Office, which finally bordered Zhou.

The country is connected, and various military and materials are very convenient to mobilize. There is no decent horse-producing land in Shannan, and it does not produce well salt or pond salt, and it is not close to the sea, so there is no sea salt. Although it can be obtained by merchants, it is still a drop in the bucket.

There are no large-scale iron ore. Although sporadic iron ore can barely meet the demand, it is always a hidden danger. It is barely enough to lack horses, salts and iron. If the Shannan states, which are attacked from both sides, cannot border the imperial court, they will be consumed to death sooner or later.

The situation is very good now, and the court will naturally provide support to Shannan, and the private caravans will also sell tight goods to Shannan states. Of course, there will be subtle changes that follow.

Yuwen Liang, a major businessman in Shannan Road, originally formed a system in Shannan. That was because the road was isolated and the court could not send people to "understand the people's sentiment". Now it is natural to send officials to Shannan Road to take office.

There are not many officials who have taken office, and they all serve as assistants at the level of Xingtai. They make "suggestions" to Yuwen Liang of the big business, to put it bluntly, and they are similar to the military supervisor, but the two sides have a tacit understanding. These imperial officials are more of "eye and ears" and will not interfere too much in the big business.

In exchange, Shannan Road also promoted officials and went to Yecheng to serve as Beijing officials. In fact, as a representative of Shannan, he served in the court and fought for rights and interests for Shannan, and coordinated various issues and contradictions.

"When the angels come to Shannan to read the imperial edict, General Du will step down and go to Beijing and become the local official Situ." Zheng Wanqing said, "At that time, the crown prince will be promoted to General Manager of Xiangzhou, and the envoy will not wait too long for the position of General Manager of Huangzhou."

"I don't have enough qualifications for the officials, so I'm afraid I can't convince the public." Yuwen Wen shook his head and smiled. In front of Zheng Wanqing, the right servant of the Xingtai, he chose to talk to him in a lower level to show respect for him.

"Why should the envoy depreciate yourself? Last year, when he fought with Chen State, he made a lot of efforts. He made a real contribution to the military achievements. Don't be disturbed by rumors." Zheng Wanqing persuaded, "At that time, the King of Qi was only sixteen years old, he became the general manager of Yizhou to appease the people and control the army. His age is not a problem."

"At that time, the court was united. Although the King of Qi was young, he received help from his subordinates. The governors of each state did not dare to disobey the emperor. The situation is different now."

"Did you think that the governors in Jiangbei provinces have ill intentions?"

"No, it's just a human nature. The old saying goes, "The Lord is a little suspicious of the country." The same is true for the position of the general manager. Among the envoys, except for the Zhou envoys in Hengzhou, the rest of the people are all from their fathers."

"Do you have to wait for three or five years? The big business station cannot wait." Zheng Wanqing smiled. As Yuwen Liang's confidant, he knew his arrangements for Yuwen Wen. This Yuwen Erlang went to Bazhou to be the governor of the head of Huangzhou to prepare for taking over the post of Huangzhou.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see the purpose of this arrangement, but for some reason, the person involved Yuwen Wen was not so anxious. Zheng Wanqing felt a little strange because the other party wanted military achievements and political achievements, and it was not very similar to those who were easily trapped in rumors, but they were not in a hurry.

"It is impossible to wait three to five years, so we have to speak out based on our merits. In the past, the King of Qi left Yizhou and everyone disagreed. Thanks to the strong support of the court, the King of Qi was extraordinary, and the rule of Yizhou was managed in an orderly manner and the people erected monuments to praise it."

"The officials are not talented and dare not compare with the King of Qi. Only by making more military achievements can people convince them.



The two of them mentioned the King of Qi was Yuwen Xian, the King of Qi. He served as the general manager of Yizhou at the age of 16, and his title was only Duke of Qi. Although he was young, he managed the newly acquired 24 prefectures such as Yizhou in an orderly manner, showing his extraordinary political talent.

The civil affairs are great, and the leader of the army is brave and good at fighting. The King of Qi, Yuwen Xian, assisted the emperor's brother Yuwen Yong, and the national strength is increasing. However, God is jealous of talents. Yuwen Yong suddenly passed away in his prime. Within a month, Yuwen Xian was targeted by his newly ascended nephew Yuwen Yun.

Yuwen Yun felt that Yuwen Xian was capable of being the second Yuwen Hu, so he was too lazy to make up the evidence and directly recruited Yuwen Xian into the palace and executed him, and then killed all his sons in order to shock the "small guy".

Zheng Wanqing used Yuwen Xian as an example, which should be an unintentional act, but it is always a bit unlucky. Yuwen Wen did not want to repeat the old path of King Qi, but what he said just now was what he thought: he always felt that his military achievements were not enough.

There is another reason. Deng Xiaoru, the chief manager of Huangzhou, had to move his nest first and find a place to settle down. Yuwen Wen could take over as the chief manager of Huangzhou. Deng Xiaoru was also Yuwen Liang's confidant. He had no contribution to guarding Huangzhou and had no hard work. He could not kick someone in the corner and cool down.

This time, Yuwen Wen had already known his situation and knew all kinds of rewards from the soldiers and officials. The most important thing was that Du Shijun, the general manager of Xiangzhou, was to go to Yecheng to serve as the official in Beijing. The position of general manager who was vacated was taken over by the governor of Xiangzhou Yu Wenming.

The general manager of the General Administration Office usually serves as the governor of the state, but this is not constant. Yuwen Wen's brother Yu Wenming was appointed as the governor of Xiangzhou in order to take over the position of General Manager of Xiangzhou in the future.

But Du Shijun has to be promoted. Du Shijun is the confidant of Yuwen Liang, so he naturally cannot treat him unfairly. Jing, Xiang, An, Huang and Jiangling, except for the general manager of Anzhou, who served as Yuwen Liang in the major office, the other four general managers are currently his confidants.

In the second year of Daxiang (three years ago), Yuwen Liang was only the general manager of Anzhou. With the power of the general manager, he first swallowed Huangzhou, then took Xiangzhou, then captured Jingzhou, and "recovered" Jiangling General Manager. His territory expanded four times instantly, and it was necessary for people to go to various places to control the situation, but his two sons could not hold on for a while.

At that time, Yuwen Wen and his brother Yu Wenming fled from Chang'an and his family to Anlu. They had no foundation or connections in Anzhou at all. They served as the general manager as soon as they came up. They had no team, subordinates, officials, and governors could not suppress them.

Du Shijun, Zheng Wanqing, Deng Xiaoru and others have been officials in Anzhou for at least a few years, and they also have some connections. They know who can be promoted and reused, and have dealt with the governors of various states, so they can understand the general situation.

Over the past three years, relying on his confidant to serve as the chief manager of various departments, Yuwen Liang has effectively controlled Shannan Prefectures and County. Du Shijun and others have made great contributions. If they kick it away after using it, it will only make people feel heartbroken.

If Yuwen Liang wants to unite people's hearts, he will naturally have to give his confidants and followers a good future. Otherwise, even his hard-core confidants will not benefit from decent benefits, so others will do their best. Yuwen Wen has no complaints about his father's priority arrangement of his confidants.

Last year, Yu Wenming was responsible for logistics scheduling and basically did not participate in actual front-line operations. Judging from military merits, he could not compare with his younger brother Yu Wen Wen. Now he is the chief supervisor first, so Yu Wen Wen is not jealous and anxious.

The eldest son inherited the family business and would inevitably be vigorously cultivated. Yu Wenliang prepared a team for Yu Wenming. Yu Wenwen could not get such strong support. He mainly relied on his own training to move upwards.

Yuwen Wen's superior is Deng Xiaoru, the general manager of Huangzhou, but Bazhou is basically a self-contained one. It can be said that he is "listening to the tune but not the proclamation". General Deng is also a great achievement in guarding Huangzhou's stable rear. When Du Shijun is promoted, it will be his turn.

If Shannan wants to have his own people in the court, he has to send someone to be an official in the capital. The first one is definitely Du Shijun, and Deng Xiaoru next. This is the layout that Yuwen Liang has already arranged. Yuwen Wen knew the inside story, so he was not in a hurry to be the general manager.

This is a matter of time sooner or later, and there is nothing to be anxious for him.

Yuwen Liang's layout was to let Yu Wenming and Yu Wen Wen serve as the governor, and then elected his confidants to Yecheng as the Beijing officials. The sons took over as the general manager in turn, and sat firmly in order to prepare for war. They could defend the south of the mountain and gain more territory when retreating.

Yuwen Wen was also making plans. Hengzhou Governor Zhou Fashang was the hardcore he won over. Last year, he reinforced Qizhou. Yuwen Wen "full exchanged opinions" with Qizhou Governor, and then strengthened interest exchanges.

This year, Yuwen Wen went to Nandingzhou north of Hengzhou for a walk. While "fully exchanging opinions" with the governor of Nandingzhou, he also negotiated several long-term transactions. The General Administration of Huangzhou was under the jurisdiction of seven prefectures. He had already settled the three prefectures outside Bazhou.

This naturally involves the transfer of interests. Yu Wen Wen will be the general manager in the future. If there is a governor who is not honest, the worst situation will be a four-to-three result. After a plan, the foundation will be much more stable.

He has been serving as the governor of Bazhou for more than a year. He has paid attention to the officials of many prefectures and counties in the state. Those who can be used and available are listed and can be promoted at any time.

Many middle-level and above generals of the Hulin Army can be sent out at any time to serve as military positions to control the army of the General Administration. The upcoming military office in Bazhou is also a strong backing for Yuwen Wen.

Yuwen Wen was promoted to civil service this time, but he would be promoted to military service based on his military merits and command the newly established military office, which is considered a special consideration for both civil and military affairs.

The content to be written in the imperial edict has been drafted, and now it is placed in front of Yuwen Wen and Zheng Wanqing to wait for the "errata". The content about Yuwen Wen is as follows:

General of the Cheqi and Cavalry, Yitong Sansi, Sanqi Changshi, Bazhou Governor, Yuwen Wen, Duke of Xiyang County, several times defeated Wuchang, the important town of Chen State, went down to Xisai Mountain, and fought fiercely for dozens of battles, defeated tens of thousands of Chen troops, and captured countless victories and battles...

He promoted the general to the position of great general for his merits, and established the chief of the General's Office, Sima, Silu, Zhonglang, Zheng, subordinate, Cao, and other assistants, and led the establishment of the new Bazhou Military Office...

There were five hundred households in the town, and 2,500 households were added, and one hundred slaves, one hundred fifty animals, a thousand silks, a thousand hu of rice, and a hundred thousand coins...

"General, the governor of Bazhou, and the Duke of Xiyang County." Yuwen Wen murmured to himself, "At least ten words have been reduced, it would be really hard to read it."

"In a few days, the only envoy will stay in Yecheng." Zheng Wanqing smiled, "General Du received the order and entered Beijing to take office. If there are any problems at that time, you can discuss with General Du...Du Situ."

"Then I wish Zheng Pushe a good luck!"

After a moment of conversation, Yuwen Wen left and walked in the corridor in the courtyard. He thought about his future development and couldn't help but feel happy: Set up a military office to train the military officer, and together with the general, he had many more positions to choose people to take office. In this way, his subordinates would have room for promotion.
