Zhe Jimin's prefecture last year was only 23 years old, almost the youngest prefecture in this era. Of course, the prefectures are not ordinary prefectures, but semi-family states. The prefectures have always been inherited by the Zhe family, with brothers and brothers and fathers and sons. However, as time goes by, the court's presence in Lin, Fu, and Feng is becoming stronger and stronger, and Yang, Zhe and Wang families are no longer allowed to do whatever they want on their respective territory. The Wang family in Fengzhou has not had outstanding figures for several generations, although they still occupy the prefectures.

The position was, but they were generally no longer in charge of the affairs of the state. The officials sent by the court were actually in charge of the affairs of the court. The Yang family was second, and Linzhou slowly transformed into a normal state army. The prefectures also experienced a crisis. The previous prefectures, Zhe Jixuan, were dismissed by greed and tyrannical tyrannical affairs, and the young prefectures. If it weren't for the rebellion of Dangxiang and the border was unstable, if it weren't for Zhe Jimin's outstanding achievements, the prefectures might have gradually transformed into normal state army like those two states and abolished the feudal states.

Linfu Road is located west of the Yellow River. It is a prominent part of the Song Dynasty's sphere of influence that has penetrated into the Dangxiang sphere. It has been constantly fighting. Last year, Yuan Hao's first choice for the attack was originally here, but it was tested several times. Zhe Jimin responded well, and the war finally expanded on Fuyan Road.

Since Yuan Hao retreated, Zhe Jimin still fought with the Dangxiang tribes along the border, and there was almost no peace. Here, there were few imperial guards in the imperial court, and as a vassal army, the Zhe family had enough protection and insufficient attacks. It was almost their daily routine to fight wars for years.

On this day, Zhe Jimin Shengya asked about the matter. After leaving the house, his younger brother Zhe Jizu hurried over and said, "Brother, there is someone from outside the mansion. He said he was sent by Yang Wenguang, who is far away in Qinzhou, and he has urgent matters to ask for a meeting."

The Yang family and the Zhe family have been married. Although Yang Ye and his family have long stopped participating in the affairs of the three states, they still have contacts. However, Yang Wenguang is not Yang Yanzhao's eldest son and has not had much contact with the Zhe family. He sent someone here, which should not be a family matter. Zhe Jimin's younger brother brought the person in and met him in the small flower hall of the Houya.

Zhe Jizu went in a hurry. Zhe Jimin returned to the Houya to worship his mother, changed into casual clothes, and went to the small flower hall. Zhe Jimin's mother was Zhe Weizhong's legitimate wife, Mrs. Liu, and Zhe Jizu was born to her concubine Mrs. Li. They both had the same father, but they were different mothers. However, according to the rules of this era, the status of the family was mainly related to age, and had little to do with the biological mother. Zhe Jimin succeeded to the throne because his elder brother had missed the expectations of the court and was dismissed as his second son to succeed to the throne. After he left the prefect in history, Zhe Jizu succeeded to the throne.

The prefectures still retained the rules of the Five Dynasties during the vassal states, and whether it is military, civil affairs, they often use their own children. At this time, Zhe Jizu, who had just become an adult, became Zhe Jimin's right-hand man, and he was in charge of all the chores at home.

When I arrived at the small flower hall, I saw a middle-aged man coming forward to salute: "The little Yang Pan, a native of Linzhou, has joined the army in Qinzhou with his clan Wen Guang in recent years, and has made some military achievements and gained a background. I have met the governor."

Zhe Jimin hurriedly returned the gift and asked Yang Pan to sit down. Although he didn't know Yang Pan, it can be seen from his name that he is a nearby branch of the Yang family in Linzhou and cannot be neglected.

Yang Wenguang wasted nearly twenty years in the imperial guards, and only followed Xu Ping to Qinzhou in the past one or two years, and was promoted rapidly. He was the most outstanding figure of the Yang family in the generation. He made a fuss. The declining Yang family in Linzhou sent some children to follow him, which made it normal for him to take Zhi. Only when the people of this clan came out can the Yang family maintain their status in Linzhou.

After the chirping, Zhe Jimin asked, "You came from Qinzhou and didn't return to Linzhou. Baba came to me. I wonder what important things are there?"

Yang Pan took out a letter from his arms and said, "This is the letter that my uncle asked me to bring to the magistrate, everything is in it."

Zhe Jimin received the letter and read it out. After a few polite words in the first few words, he mentioned the recent business of Qinzhou with Dangxiang people through Sansipu, and also mentioned the Kumacai clan of Dijinze. Finally, he transferred another letter from Xu Ping, which was explained in detail. It was nothing more than introducing the current difficulties and wishes of Kumacai clan, hoping that Zhe Jimin would connect the letter.

He asked his family to take Yang Pan to the guest room for rest. Zhe Jimin and his younger brother Zhe Jizu discussed: "Qinzhou Xu Jingluo wrote a letter saying that the Haozi had experienced a recent change and was short of money to use it. Let us seize the opportunity and collect some cattle and horses from the Fan Realm."

While speaking, he handed the letter to Zhe Jizu.

Xu Ping entered the officialdom at the age of 20 and established the festival at the age of 30. He was already at the age of a young age. In particular, all this was earned by him through his achievements, not by others, but by his role models for the younger generation of officials. Now he is in charge of military and political affairs in Qinzhou. He has earned him the last two great victories, which made Zhe Jimin and others take as role models. When he wrote to him, Zhe Jimin attached great importance to it and kept thinking about it in his heart.

After reading the letter, Zhe Jizu thought for a while and said, "Brother, although the Lord of the Ruler makes sense, it is difficult for us to do this matter in Qinzhou. This place is not as good as the ordinary state army, and it is easy to go back to the thieves, so I am afraid that someone in the court will criticize you."

Zhe Jimin nodded: "What my second brother said is, I think so in my heart. Even in Qinzhou, the Minister of the Richmond also said in particular that all transactions are handed over to the Sansi Shop. The General's Mansion only grasps the overall situation and does not participate in the specific transactions. We don't have Sansi Shop here, so we can't learn like this. However, the Minister of the Richmond wrote a letter specially and cannot ignore it. We should discuss this matter carefully and think of a complete solution."

As a vassal district, the money and grain of the prefectures were not handed over to the court, but were all dominated by the Zhe family. Not only that, the court also gave them salary normally, which was equivalent to receiving financial subsidies and financially independent areas. Sansi Shop is fundamentally an organization under the Sansi. The prefectures are independent of the three departments, so of course there are no shops here. The Zhe family is also very contradictory, and the industrial and commercial system of the three departments is not allowed to come in. The prefectures are competing to see the nearby prefectures and troops are living better and better than themselves. If the commercial and banking industries of the three departments are allowed to enter the state, the original financial independence will be destroyed, which is not conducive to the Zhe family's maintaining their status.

Now Xu Ping's proposal has made Zhe Jimin face a dilemma. If his family comes forward to smuggle trade with Dangxiang, it will inevitably be suspected of colluding with the enemy. If you want the Sansi system to do it, you must give up some of the power.

After thinking for a long time, Zhe Jimin asked Zhe Jizu: "There were already a bank and a shop in Fengzhou two years ago. I refused to say that the money and food in their state were already much higher than that in ours. As you know, how are the people of the Wang family doing?"

Zhe Jizu said: "They are very free. Now all the political affairs in Fengzhou are managed by the Tongzong, and the Wang family is not in charge. The three-subsidiary bank, shop and local prefectures and counties are divided into a lot of them, so everything goes well."

Money and grain are used to support soldiers, from the central government to the local government, which is the fact of the Song Dynasty. Lin, Mansion and Fengzhou are of course no exception. If you hand over the financial power, you will naturally have to hand over the military power. Even if you still serve as the commander of the local army in name, your actual military power will be transferred to the court.

After pondering for a long time, Zhe Jimin sighed: "If the situation is like this today, if we still keep our money and grain to support our army in the prefectures, we will probably be more and more different from the surrounding prefectures. One day, when the thieves are pacified, the prefectures will be deposed. The minister mentioned this matter, which is also an opportunity. Why not ask the Sansi Shop to do it."
