"Song Du, the official of the Ministry of Personnel," Seeing Jiang Feng dressed up casually, Cui Shang couldn't help frowning, "Sir, according to the regulations, we have established a new state of Wuzhou, and the governor is selected by the Ministry of Personnel for the fourth rank, so it is reasonable to come to the official of the Ministry of Personnel."

Jiang Feng didn't care too much and said half-jokingly: "We can't tell you how many people there are in the newly established Qingzhou, the prosperous Tang Dynasty and Huoshan counties. Yincheng has only tens of thousands of people, and Gushi has only a population of more than 100,000. Even if there are a large number of refugees in the market, it won't be much better. It's too difficult to make it for Shangzhou."

Jiang Feng's words also made the others laugh.

According to the Tang system, Shangzhou needs 100,000 households, and the newly established Zhouzhou will not exceed 400,000 people, which means 600,000 or 70,000 households. Shangzhou is only the third-rank at this time. It would be too difficult for Jiang Feng to be a third-rank official.

In fact, since the expulsion of the Tang Dynasty by Daliang, Chang'an's prestige has declined day by day. The imperial edicts from the central government have become more formal, and the selection and appointment of officials has no longer been as strict as in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

If we have to follow the previous standards, the question of qualification alone is enough to block the position of governor who is currently the majority of the vassals.

People like Jiang Feng are neither from imperial examinations nor from military examinations. When dealing with reason, they are not even qualified to be a county lieutenant, let alone the governor of a state?

But the situation is now like this. The martial arts are the country. Butchers who don’t know a lot can become governors, and those who sell private salt can also be granted the title of kings. In the past few decades, Zhu Wen, Li Keyong, Yang Xingmi, and Qian Miao, who were granted the title of kings, who were noble and who were literary and romantic?

In contrast, the Ju family was a prominent family, but the result was that they were killed and destroyed. In this era of strength as kings, can you say that Jiang Feng, who had been together in the academy, could he not be the governor of a state?

"Sir, you have to respect Chang'an at least. At least they have also given you an official title, but I have never heard of Guangzhou. What does this mean?" Yang Kan, a military general from Daliang, has always been not very cold about Chang'an, and his words lack respect and the taste of teasing is heavier.

"Hmph, I don't believe who can take Guangzhou away from us now!" Ding Man was so imposing, "Nanyang? Or Caizhou? They are so busy with their own care. Could it be that the Du family can still reach out?"

"Aman, don't be full of words. It's more than enough to win Guangzhou in terms of strength, Nanyang and Caizhou, but it's just not worth the loss."

Zhang Ting still has the high bun black robe, which seems to remain unchanged all year round. So far, Jiang Feng has not arranged a position for him yet, and probably has to wait until the matter in Xuzhou is finalized before considering it.

"After all your life, can you stop singing the opposite tune?" Ding Man and Zhang Ting were also very familiar with each other. After all, they were both a family of generals in Bianliang, but Zhang Ting's personality is indeed too annoying. Not only do they interact alone, but also speak sharply, they also like to be villains.

"Aman, I'm telling the truth, but you don't like to listen to the truth." Zhang Ting ignored Ding Man's displeasure. "It's unlikely that the Du family is. They are a little too fragile. I will first consider whether Nanyang will vent its anger on them after it recovers in the future. Let's talk about it. Brother Dao and his team up with them to attack the Nanyang military ration road this time, which will cause them to be cheated."

The E-Huang One Thousand Cavalry disappeared quietly from Guangzhou City, and then Xinxi went to the Nanyang Grain Channel on the front line of Baigou City and was frequently attacked by cavalry and local gentry private troops. The Nanyang Army had not yet reacted at the time, but after investigation, the suspicion naturally fell on the Du family.

In particular, the Xiao family in Xiangyang and the Du family in Ehuang jointly spoke out against Nanyang's annexation of Anzhou. Then another rebellion occurred in Anzhou, and the Du family had become the most hated in Nanyang's heart.

Although Liu Xuan's power has been greatly reduced and he is unable to fight against the outside world in a short period of time, once the two Liu reconcile, the Xiao family and the Du family will not be able to have a good time. The Xiao family is not weak and has the advantage of the terrain. He has been in trouble with Nanyang for so many years, but the Du family has to consider it.

"It's not a pit after all, right? They were so happy that they were so wild that they were ambushing the grain team on the front line of Xinxi to Baigou City three times, and they beat the Nanyang grain trucks so hard that they dared not leave the city. We didn't dare to be as presumptuous as they did."

Qin Zaidao looked very good, especially when he learned that Guanzhong planned to fulfill his promise and promised to send two thousand Xiazhou war horses, Qin Zaidao's enthusiasm was even higher.

This time, crossing the Huai River in the north to assist the Hubei-Huang cavalry to attack the Nanyang Grain Road, which also allowed the Gushi cavalry to finally get a decent training.

More than ten ambushings and raids along Xinxi to Baigou City and then to Zhenyang, coupled with that sneak attack on the Nanyang Military Camp under Zhenyang City, it can be said that Gushi Army also paid a heavy price.

The eight hundred elite cavalrymen were left, and the loss was less than five hundred people left after returning to Gushi. The great loss was also the heaviest of these battles. The two cavalry camps who had just become decent, immediately returned to their original form.

If it weren't for Guanzhong's clear statement that it would fulfill its promise, Qin Zaidao would have planned to really talk to Jiang Feng and insist on allocating funds to buy war horses. Even in Nanyang or Daliang, he would have to buy 800 war horses, which were good or bad.

"How can they not do their best to do their best?" Zhang Ting responded, "Du Li is very wise in this regard. He understands what Guangzhou and Anzhou both fall into Nanyang's hands, which means to their Huangzhou and Qizhou two prefectures."

"In Daliang, I have always heard that Du's family is mediocre. It seems that there are still a few talents in the Du family." Ding Man said contemptuously.

"Du Li's four horses are pretty good at Du Li, but his martial arts are average. I heard that his two brothers have good martial arts skills, and there is also Du Ling. I heard that they are quite mysterious. They rarely see them. The dragon is not seen at all, but they are always a little petty." Zhang Ting also got to know the Du family.

"But the combat effectiveness of the Du family army is worrying, and more importantly, I always feel that the Du family lacks the courage to dare to fight and fight. Like the Li family in Guanzhong, I always hope that others will charge forward and block the wind and rain for them, but I am afraid of fighting. The Li family in Guanzhong has the title of royal family. If they have this resource, what does their Du family have? If they have the strength to block the wind and rain for them, it would be better to turn around and swallow them."

His words were harsh, but he hit the nail on the head. Even Yang Kan and Ding Man had to admit that Zhang Ting's analysis pointed directly at the key points of the Du family's life.

Cui Shang couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and Jiang Feng also felt that this guy was indeed a hated guy, and his words were full of despicable words. A prominent family was criticized by him to be worthless.

Chen Wei is becoming more and more accustomed to working with these martial artists. At least he is not used to attacking his opponents with various contemptuous and sarcastic words with these martial artists. Now he can deal with it with it with peace of mind.

"The Du family still has some of our food, so I'm afraid we need to ask for it as soon as possible. Nanyang probably has some lingering losses. They have suffered too much after this battle. It is said that Liu Xuan has not yet stood up, and all the affairs of the three states are led by Liu Tong."

"Well, we have to ask for it all the time. As Zhu said, since the Du family is afraid of fighting, we will help them fight to death, and they should make up for the things they owe us." Xu Ziqing also continued, "The current situation is also very serious. Gushi and Guangzhou are flooding with refugees to eat. This spring famine is much more serious than expected."

Xu Ziqing's words also aroused Chen Wei's resonance: "Sir, this is indeed a problem. It's fine to Shouzhou, and ants are rampant, but now even the refugees in Caizhou, Yingzhou and Bozhou are running towards us. It turns out that there are support from Nanyang and Ehuang. Now the money and silver in Nanyang have long been cut off, and Ehuang also feels like they want to pay a debt. But the number of refugees is so large that even if they move to Yincheng, Shengtang and Huoshan, it will require a lot of food and money. Otherwise, how can these refugees reclaim the land? Don't become bandits when they go to the local area."

I'm afraid no one would have expected that the biggest impact of this Central Plains war on Gushi would be the surge in the number of refugees.

In addition to the refugees from Yingbo and the two prefectures, the northern expedition of the Nanyang Army has also brought about a huge refugee group in the past few months.

The Nanyang army attacked from Xinxi to Zhenyang, while the Daliang Longxiang army swept across Wufang, Xiping and Langshan counties. This war created hundreds of thousands of refugees. The rumor that Gushi was very good at treating refugees also caused the war in Caizhou to become a large number of refugees across the Huai River and headed towards Gushi.

So much so that Jiang Feng, Cui Shang and Chen Wei had to review whether the policies issued by Gushi were too favorable to refugees. Even with the support of Nanyang and Ehuang, they could not withstand such a large-scale refugee pressure.

For Cui Shang and Chen Wei, they naturally knew that the flood of refugees to Gushi was a double-edged sword.

The four counties of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Huoshan and Yincheng were all vast and sparsely populated counties, and were far from comparable to those of Caizhou, the arrival of these refugees could bring relatively advanced farming experience and a large amount of labor, which was undoubtedly a great help to the land reclamation of these three counties.

But huge consumption expenses soared.

At first, the man was still holding the treasure and picking up the treasure, but soon they realized the trouble.

Fortunately, the support provided by Nanyang and Ehuang has been achieved one after another due to the war, and they can still maintain it.

But as soon as the war entered the late stage, Nanyang's support was cut off, and E Huang's support began to slow down, which immediately became a huge matter. It can be said that this also became the top priority that troubled Cui Shang and Chen Wei.
