When they left the flower hall door, everyone dispersed. Xu Ziwei's face was gloomy. He looked at Xu Ziwen's back and felt quite dissatisfied.

When he arrived at his place, Chen Jingzhong and Chen Jingfu brothers came up. Xu Ziwei didn't say anything at first, and then sat down and said in a deep voice: "Just just now, my second son talked a lot in front of his father and said a lot of things that shouldn't be said, which made me feel so embarrassed. I think we should stop this before us first?"

"How can this be done?" Chen Jingfu was anxious on the spot and said, "Now we are in secret, and we are afraid that there will be no less than a thousand people in our possession, so we will stop if we say a stop?"

"What should I do if I keep stopping?" Xu Ziwei said angrily: "Do I still care about these villains who are robbing and robbing the dogs? Now Xu Zi has already given the Qin King a mansion to open the house and will soon rectify the place. If you hit him head-on, you won't be disappointed."

"He can't do anything to us." Chen Jingzhong had thought for a long time, and gritted his teeth and said, "If we were asked to lead our troops to compete with him in a dignified manner, I admit that we are not his opponent. But now the entire prefecture and county are in chaos, and there are bandits everywhere in the towns and villages. The people we gathered are all in the towns outside the city. The prefecture and city saw that the wealthy families were weak in defense, and the manpower was mostly scattered, unrelated to each other, and could not involve ourselves. Now we sit on the ground every day, each person is at least a few thousand chunks a day. This is a good source of wealth, why should we give up? At most half a month to one month later, we are planning to move out of Fuzhou. If we don't take advantage of this chaos, will we wait until Jiangling is poor?"

In addition to the relegation of the Zhao Mansion to the Duke's Mansion and the Zhao family was ordered to go to Jiangling, Chen Man, the Marquis of Xinchang, was defeated by the Xiang army because he was the deputy governor of the Grand Governor's Office. The Marquis of Xinchang was also blamed. His family was not as deep-rooted as the Prince of Zhao Mansion. Chen Man was directly seized, and the court left him the fourth-rank General Xuanwei, and pointed out that he could not be inherited. This completely cut off the future path of the brothers Chen Jingzhong and Chen Jingfu. After that, the two of them were not only young marquis, but also lost their official positions.

The two of them were naturally broken. Although the Marquis' Mansion became the General's Mansion, the two Marquis' men were once friends, especially the clerks of the Ministry and the Criminal Office, and many of them had friendships with the generals and sects who were arresting and thieving camps and guarding the city camps. Although Yang Shiwei and Zheng Liqi were honest and upright officials, the atmosphere was so so they could not forbidden the people below to do anything wrong.

The two of them brought Xu Ziwei again, and used the old connections of the Zhao Prince's Mansion to secretly attract and conquer many rogue rangers, extort and loot everywhere, and a large amount of money was invested every day.

If it was a peaceful time, these people would definitely not dare to act like this. Xu Ziwei had a bright future and would not have been able to use this method to make up these dirty money.

But now the Zhao Palace cannot protect itself, and the Xinchang Hou Mansion is no longer glorious. Instead, it uses its old connections to support these bandits to loot. Now all prefectures and counties are in chaos. Zheng Liqi is busy every day, and after arresting hundreds of people, thousands of people emerge. This is the current situation in Fuzhou and nearby prefectures and counties. There are so many bandits and public security incredible chaos. Of course, there are also people like Xu Ziwei and the Chen brothers who are fueling the fire.

"I'm always indignant." Chen Jingzhong said: "Xu Zixian was just a servant behind my brothers. Unexpectedly, he became the king's mansion in a few years. Is there really no one in the court available? If the eldest brother was once the prince, he was also the prince's brother. Today, he was also subject to this person. We are for money and secondly, we will take the opportunity to embarrass this person. We are no match for him in the battlefield and in the officialdom. When we leave, it's not bad to make him feel disgusted."

Chen Jingfu also said: "Zheng Liqi arrested people every day, and he has also rectified a group of Dharma, but the more bandits arrested, they will not find us. Besides, even if we are involved, what if we are involved, will we still be punished for this small matter?"

Xu Ziwei pondered for a moment and said, "Even so, you should be more careful. You should contact and use people and get through joints outside, so it is better not to use my name."

"Brother, don't worry, our Xinchang Hou Mansion has almost the same face. Some of the generals and corpses whom I contacted before have received a lot of money, so there is no need to use the name of the royal palace."

"As for Brother Zhang Da," Chen Jingzhong said coldly: "I think he has been scared by Xu Zixian recently."

"I feel the same way," Chen Jingfu said, "Brother Zhang Da is still too literary and not as good as us. You can do it, but when it is critical, you dare to kill people with a sword."

Xu Ziwei noticed that the two people in front of him were both round neck and short robes, and the usual plain gold belt was not tied around his waist. He changed into leather belts made of cowhide, and had short swords hanging around his waist. Both of them were in their twenties and had short beards, just like a brave warrior.

More than two years ago, the nobles in Fuzhou were still wearing long gowns and were proud to participate in the poetry and essays of the Prince of Zhao's Mansion. In fact, Chen Jingzhong and Chen Jingfu's brothers were not ordinary in their literary talent. They could barely be considered as reading and literacy. Poetry and essays were difficult to write. The more they were like this, the more they looked down on Xu Zixian, who was also ordinary in his literary talent. However, they did not expect that Xu Zixian, who was excluded from the sword in his hand, made a way out. In just a few years, they changed from the devastated prince of the Marquis' Mansion to the Open.

Prince of the House.

The Chen brothers and others were extremely disdainful of Xu Zixian, but invisibly they had already changed.

"Very good." Xu Ziwei smiled with satisfaction and said, "My relatives and nobles are both civil and military. Like Zhang Da, he does not put down the book every day, which is just like those poor Confucian scholars in the market. It is simply inconsistent. When we arrive in Jiangling, the father will still lead the army. Then we will be optimistic. Why can't Xu Zixian do what he can do? He is just an ordinary person, and he has some ability to lead troops, and he has achieved such success because of his good fortune. I don't believe that we practice martial arts, read military books, and rely on family background and connections. Which one is inferior to Xu Zixian?"

This was deeply appreciated by the Chen brothers. The two brothers' eyes turned red. Chen Jingzhong drew his sword and swung his fingers over the sharp blade. He said in a deep voice: "I hope that Brother Ziwei will one day lead the army and overwhelm Xu Zi first, so that he can exude a breath of anger in our hearts."

Chen Jingfu said: "My brother must be the leader of the eldest brother."

There was no manpower around Xu Ziwei, but after the fall and out, many of the officials and generals who had originally attached themselves left one after another, and only the two brothers in front of him suddenly followed him. He was also very moved and nodded repeatedly. The three of them had a hot look, as if a great cause would be accomplished soon.

...

After receiving the imperial edict, Xu Zi did not stay in Fuzhou City.

Jianzhou has been handed over to Qin Dongyang, Liu Yi and others to implement military control, and Xu Zixian does not need to go to Jianzhou. If there is really something that cannot be decided, the generals in front will also send a person to submit it, and Xu Zixian will decide to implement it.

He returned to Qizhou Port that day and lived in his temporary residence in the port.

It is said to be temporary, but the interior is well arranged. There are many exquisite and meticulous furniture, as well as winter flowers such as wintersweet planted around the courtyard, and in the faint fragrance, Xu Zixian also misses his wife and younger sister very much.

Officials from the Dongfan, including Fu Qian, Chen Zuocai and others, were not difficult to manage with a complete set of administrative agencies. The main foundation of training, garrisoning, and navy was also in the Dongfan.

Before integrating the financial income of Fujian Road, the Dongfan was also the most important base. It is estimated that by next year, the annual income of the Dongfan will reach five or six million or even more.

Before he could really collect taxes from various routes, Xu Zixian's financial income from raising soldiers, officials and scholars was of course mainly based on the income of the Dongfa period, whether it was the Dongfa period or the foundation.

What we need to do now is to gradually take the political power of Fujian Road in our hands.

Now is not the time to hurry, so you should do it slowly...

The opening of the mansion after the Battle of Jianzhou was already a success of the Battle of Transformation of Dragons, and many things followed were natural.

Only after facing Donghu after several years can he feel real pressure.

People will have different views on things from different angles and heights.

Before this, Xu Zi only looked at Fujian Road, but now he looked at the entire south.

Although everything is complicated, Xu Zixian is not too anxious... Standing in the exquisite courtyard, smelling the fragrance of flowers, while thinking in his heart, he is also missing his relatives who stayed on the island.

In the evening, when he heard that there was a ship coming to the Dongfan port at the port, Xu Zi first left the courtyard to watch the situation at the port.

The brigade of officials dressed up in a crowd of people flocked down from the big ship.

Kong He also rushed over and said to him when he saw this: "This is the early manpower that Mr. Li has introduced. Most of them are third-class officials, and there are second-class and first-class officials."

"The school of the official school in Dongfan should be expanded and a branch is set up." Xu Zixian said to Kong He: "First choose a branch in Fuzhou and make it clear to them that the end of the year will be the school entrance exam, and the ethics, ability, and family background will be taken. After graduation, you can be a third-class official in our shogunate."

"Third-class official," Xu Zixian pondered again, "Tell them clearly, the third-class official, etc. The second-class official, the Kongmu official, and the first-class official, are regarded as river officials, the grain officials, and the warehouse managers. From the ninth rank, it is considered the beginning of the official career. The officials have no merits and mistakes, and are cautious in their duties. If they make meritorious, they will be moved every year. If they have made meritorious service, they will be moved every year. First-class officials who have been in the shogunate selection examination and directly granted official positions. Previously, most of the official positions in the shogunate were fame and fortune. For example, Mr. Li had been selected as an examiner, and Xuanping, and Chen Laozhi and others, all have scholarly reputations. Since then, my shogunate official position must be an envoy first, and the official will be an official.

, Only those who need to be cautious in public and have made contributions can be an official. What is to make contributions? Be cautious in public and have no mistakes and be the first in everything? This is to be meritorious. If you find mistakes or illegal things, you should write to the above, which is the merit of picking up the leftovers and filling the gaps. Saving public funds or benefiting the shogunate is a pioneering achievement. Those who spare no effort to comfort the people are the merit of comforting the people. I am just talking in general now. To combine the system of voting for the election, appointment, promotion, demotion, reform, and even punishment of officials, you must carefully make the charter, be careful and careful, and not be afraid of trivial matters. I can talk in general, but you cannot... You should write these words to

Let Mr. Li and the others pass it on.”

Xu Zixian became more majestic. Although Kong He dared to be the first to win money and Xu Zixian, when the king really ordered things, he followed the matter with sternness. After listening carefully, Kong He bowed and then thought, "It's still the king's usual idea. It's all in detail, and it's all in accordance with the law. Then the law of governing officials we discussed is called the law of establishing officials?"

"But." Xu Zixian praised: "Previously, I talked with the old prime minister and Fujian Road officials, saying that reducing taxes is the top priority. In fact, in my heart, setting up officials and setting up new local government affairs and administration is the top priority."

Kong He agreed: "What the king said is very true, like a person is in a state of tranquility. The first priority should be to consolidate the foundation and cultivate the essence. The new administration seems to be less than military affairs, and financial resources are important, but in fact it is the most important thing, even above military affairs."

"By the way, it's right." Xu Zixian praised it very much and said with a smile: "Xuanping, you are really growing up now... If the government is not clear, you can't talk about financial planning. Without financial planning, you can't talk about raising troops, let alone bring together soldiers and civilians. Xuanping, you can say such words, not to care about your acre of land, and you don't object to the matter of running officials and schools. I should look at you with admiration."

Kong He did not laugh, but said seriously: "Each of these ships in front of him costs tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of guan. The king wants to build a new large-scale ship with a central warship of at least 500,000 or 600,000 yuan. Can the officials not be built? With many warships, only by sea defense donations can the trade be carried out, and more money can be carried out. The school is the same. We need to train more officials who comply with the rules. Of course, this school must be run. However, the officials should still make it clear that the king's new official rule should not be in the past, just like the Beijing and the local inspection, and it is empty. Instead, as on the Dongfan Island, starting from the declaration of wealth, it is calculated every year, from daily positions, people, etc., as well as living expenses, deposits, real estate, real estate, and daily accounts, all must have systems to speak of. According to the king's approach, legislation should still be made."

"It is necessary to legislate. Of course, it is not only to check whether it is corruption, but also to see whether it is wasteful, fraud, requested by others, or incompetent, etc. The law of setting up officials is to select, and another law is to regulate it, so it is called the law of executing officials. The other government affairs, official affairs, financial planning, schools, military, trade, industry and commerce, warehousing, and transportation must have laws. You and Mr. Li and others are too busy with these things. I have written to Mr. Wu, and I will also ask the old prime minister who is familiar with the laws of the Qin and Han dynasties and the laws of this dynasty. We should also postpone the request and work together to do this."

"Yes, I know." Kong He looked excited. This was something Xu Zi had planned for a long time, and Li Yi, Kong He, Chen Zuocai, Fang Shaoqun and others had known it long ago.

There is no doubt that Xu Zi first believed that no matter how good morality was, he was not as good as the law, and he was proved by words.

Determine various laws, and even all departments have laws to follow, and all matters are carried out according to the law. It does not mean that there is no flexibility in dealing with the outside and the inside, but that there is law to follow in everything, and that there can be flexibility within the scope of the law. Outside the law, it can only be external and not internal.

For Xu Zixian, it was quite ridiculous for Wei Li to have a Wei Rule in the Great Wei Dynasty. I wonder why Taizu was extremely negligent about this matter back then?

A Wei law, including royal family, court officials, etiquette, education, military, politics, and accounting systems, is all included. The Constitution, criminal law, military law, and civil law are all included.

This is actually a similar approach to the practice of the Tang Dynasty. The Han Dynasty learned from the distant sect.

In the early Han Dynasty, everyone suffered from the Qin law that was too meticulous and trivial, too complicated and extremely cruel. The Qin people under the Qin system were already quite adapted to the Qin law, and it was difficult for the new people affiliated with the six countries to adapt to it. In addition, Qin Shihuang used troops continuously, had too many major projects, too many labor and harsh laws, which was really expected to be destroyed.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, it was considered to correct the Qin system. When Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang made three rules with the people when he first entered Guanzhong. There was no law at all. After that, Xiao Gui Cao followed and governed the country with the pure and inaction method of Huang Lao. Therefore, the Han Dynasty did not use Confucianism at the beginning. Confucianism only occupied one filial piety, and the rest were governed by Huang Lao's way. Even when the Han Dynasty was Wu, he had to use Confucianism. At that time, the empress dowager believed in Huang Lao and was quite hindered from the Han Dynasty's implementation of Confucianism.

After the Han Dynasty, the laws and regulations were all favored lenient and simple, local officials should be lenient and simple, and the central government of the court should also be lenient and simple. In the early Tang Dynasty, there were only Wude rules, and then they only revised them one after another, and added orders, styles, and plagiarisms. The official documents were included in the law. For governing the country, it was extremely lenient and simple.

After that, the dynasties were generally similar.

What Xu Zixian had to do now is to select officials and serve as officials, and to apply the laws of establishing officials first, and then revise criminal laws, military laws and other related laws. The matter of revising laws is very important. Xu Zi first ordered the convening of relevant scholars from Fujian to participate, consider together, and even publish the documents. Just like recruiting famous doctors at the time, he recruited famous legal experts from all over the country and studied and discussed together.
