After drinking a pot of tea until it was cold, Jiang Pu said what he should have said, and got up and said goodbye to go back to the office. Chen Xu sat in the room for half an hour before returning to the Qinghe Marquis Mansion.

The most likely driver of this incident is Wang Jian.

He used the contributions of the Wang family and his status in the emperor's mind to dispel the emperor's investigation into the matters in Yanmen Pass.

Because the civil and military officials in the court, including the emperor, the only person Wang Jian couldn't see clearly was Chen Xu. He wanted to put a perfect end to this matter before he died.

Unfortunately, Chen Xu did not take out the memorial, but secretly arranged for someone to go to Yanmen Pass to inquire about the situation.

Wang Jian's arrangement did not get the desired result. From this, he guessed that Chen Xu might not give up, so he would ask Chen Xu to show mercy to Wang Li in the future before he died.

"I'm really too novice. I'll make me do it before I die!"

Back at the Hou Mansion, Chen Xu locked himself in the study and looked through the military reform plan he had sorted out. There were countless hustles running wildly in his heart.

After Jiang Pu's explanation and his own continuous analysis, he found that he was in a difficult situation at the moment. He continued to investigate. Even if he found out clearly, if he did not get the support of the emperor, he would only offend a large group of people without any effect. However, if he did not investigate, Chen Xu felt that it was inconsistent with his ideas. If things were allowed to continue to develop, no one could guarantee whether the angry Zhao people would rebel. If they really developed to that point, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people would be destroyed, and countless casualties would be killed.

Because this incident is different from Xiang's rebellion.

Xiang's family took the initiative to rebel, and the support among the people was not enough. However, even so, in just over a month, tens of thousands of bandits swept across more than ten counties, hundreds of thousands of people were implicated, and countless casualties were injured.

If the people in Zhao have riots, this is a kind of hatred and anger that has accumulated for a long time. Li Mu's influence in Zhao people is almost like a god. Once Mars is ignited, it will inevitably be a prairie fire. The entire old Zhao area may have a storm and a rebellion, and the scope of the impact is definitely much larger than that of the Xiang family.

If Chen Xu knew that such a result would be extremely likely to occur and did nothing, then what is the difference between him and the feudal lackeys of emperors such as Meng Yi and Feng Quji?

I'm a paralyzed person, I've been dead once, and I still care about these things. At worst, I can offend Wang. Chen Xu finally punched the desk with a heavy punch, which scared the two maids standing outside the door.

If some historical time is destined to be unchanged, then the First Emperor may have only been more than two years. Although the history of later generations does not record Wang Ben's death, he definitely did not live until Qin Shihuang died. In other words, he will only face the three generations of Wang Li, a playboy. Not to mention that his combat power is a scumbag, but he is definitely not too strong.

If the army does not carry out reforms, it will inevitably accumulate greater problems if it continues like this. Not only will the combat effectiveness decline, the relationship between the army and civilians will also become very bad, which is not conducive to Chen Xu's plan to reform the Qin Dynasty.

Unfortunately, his foundation in the court is too shallow. Only he has been kept in the dark about this matter, and he does not have much support. It depends entirely on the emperor's trust. Some things are difficult to promote, because the emperor does not support and even deliberately avoids some things.

In fact, as long as Feng Quji or Meng Yi supports him in this matter, the investigation and handling will definitely go very smoothly, but unfortunately there is no.

But now, Chen Xu decided to do it alone.

Ma Teng and Li Shun went to Yanmen County to inquire about the situation. If it was not expected, the news would be sent back in December at most. After the information from all aspects was comprehensive, there would be more certainty to promote this matter. Offending the Wang family was not a big deal. If the matter could not be handled before the death of the First Emperor, I am afraid that the future would be even more variable. Once the First Emperor was in a funeral and did not establish a crown prince, then when the court was in chaos, there would be another rebellion in the country. Maybe the entire Qin would be in a mess. After all, the little butterfly that had crossed over... Well, the delivery guy was so swinging in Daqin that Daqin could not see through it at all. He was now dark and he no longer knew how far the Qin would develop. The only thing that made him clear was that there would definitely be no situation of Chu and Han fighting for hegemony.

Xiang Yu has now gone to Japan, and Liu Bang is still the general manager of Cuju Commercial Plaza. The status of these two people has long been beyond recognition, and it is impossible for them to jump out and fight each other.

Jiang Pu, who had drunk half a pot of Ziyun Fairy Tea with Chen Xu, was in a trance all morning.

The Jiang family and the Qinghe Hou had a deep relationship. They had already known each other since Chen Xu was still in Xiaohe Village. In order to protect Chen Xu, Jiangbeiting even used his wealth prospects as a bet and colluded with a group of officials of all sizes in Wancheng to suppress Zhao Zhe's case. Although Chen Xu was eventually missed by Zhao Gao, the matter was exposed, and both Zhao Gao and Jiang were punished by the emperor. However, Jiang's good deeds were compensated by Chen Xu. Jiang Heng transferred from outside, Jiang Beiting re-opened, Jiang Pu was promoted to Beijing, and Jiang Hu was granted a marquis, and Jiang's family has since stepped into the ranks of top nobles in the Qin Dynasty.

Later, the Xiang family rebelled, and Chen Xu reminded Jiang Heng in advance, so that Jiang Heng prepared in advance to destroy the Xiang family's plan to occupy Wuzhong, which led to the Xiang family's start unfavorable and soon fell into a dilemma.

If we say that the most intimate person with Chen Xu among the Qin nobles was undoubtedly the Jiang family and Meng Yi, but the Jiang family today still cannot become the backbone of Chen Xu's reform. Jiang Hu was fighting outside, and Jiang Pu was only a third-rank chief. Therefore, this incident made Jiang Pu worried. If Jiang could not express his attitude on this matter, I am afraid that the good relationship formed with Chen Xu in the past would be greatly reduced.

What Chen Xu wants to do this time is extraordinary. He fights with the top noble Wang family of Qin. This level of struggle has made the entire Jiang family unable to protect it. Once Chen Xu is at a disadvantage, the Jiang family will inevitably be suppressed.

But if he does not support Chen Xu, Jiang Pu feels that he cannot think about this ending at all. No matter whether Chen Xu wins or fails, Jiang will lose Chen Xu's trust from then on.

As for the three letters I sent out last time, the eldest brother Jiang Heng and the fourth brother Jiang Beiting had already replied. Because the internal reasons were too complicated, Jiang Pu made his own decisions. Therefore, whether to support Chen Xu or watch Jiang Pu was very troubled.

...

Time is like a wild dog that has broken away, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The imperial court has also introduced resettlement of the Lingnan area.

Under Chen Xu's suggestion, the Baiyue region outside the Five Ridges and the Fujian-zhong county that had been conquered long ago were re-divided, setting up five counties in Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou and Yunnan respectively. The county governments were located in Fuzhou, Panyu, Guilin, Guiyang and Kunming respectively. In addition, given the large jurisdiction of Jiujiang County, Jiujiang County was divided into two, with the Yangtze River as the boundary, Jiujiang County was the north of Jiangbei, and Jiangnan was the Jiangxi County.

According to Chen Xu's plan, he would make a large-scale adjustment to the counties and counties across the country, including the name and region re-dividing it, but he gave up temporarily after discussing with some familiar officials such as Meng Yi.

The counties and counties of the Qin Dynasty continued the names and regional divisions of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. Because the Central Plains region in the Yellow River Basin was developed very early, Qin, Zhao, Han, Wei and Qi, even Chu and Yan, each occupied a piece of land and divided counties in their own country to manage it, resulting in the dense counties in the Central Plains area now. In the south ruled by Chu, a county often had a huge jurisdiction. With the rapid development of the Qin Dynasty, the climate in the south was warm and humid, and the large number of people would slowly migrate and expand to the south. In this way, these counties in the south were very difficult to manage and needed to be divided into smaller ones. Many counties in the Central Plains could actually be merged, which would reduce a lot of management waste.

The most important thing is that the division and name of the county in the Qin Dynasty made Chen Xu very unfamiliar with it. There are no regional distinctions in Henei, Shangdang, Yingchuan, Handan, Xue County, Dang County, etc., and it does not conform to the habit of geographical division.

Although Chen Xu's idea was good, Meng Yi expressed his opposition, because once the county and county were adjusted nationwide, there would inevitably be large-scale official mobilization and redistribution of police officers and lieutenants. In addition, a large number of government records caused by the separation and merger of counties and counties need to be compiled and sorted out. This project is extremely large and will bring huge pressure to the court and officials from all over the country, which will make all counties extremely chaotic.

However, Chen Xu would not give up on this matter completely. The turmoil caused by large-scale changes is too great, so he can slowly and small-scale adjustments. Over the past five or ten years, he will strive to clearly divide the county and county territories of the Qin Dynasty. This will not only further erase the traces left by the first six countries and make the people of the six countries more integrated, but also increase the control of the county and county.

Therefore, Chen Xu went to the palace to visit Qin Shihuang after thinking for a few days, and talked about the benefits of redistricting counties and counties. His plan received strong support from Qin Shihuang. So Chen Xu convened a group of officials responsible for surveying the terrain and construction of irrigation ditches and roads across the country to survey the terrain and terrain across the country to form a national regional planning office. He analyzed and discussed the map of the current Daqin, and used some famous mountains, rivers and lakes as a symbol to launch a national plan to re-dividate counties and counties, and slowly discussed and promoted the plan in the court.

Generally speaking, the division of counties and counties in the Qin Dynasty and the provinces and cities in later generations is too different in terms of region and name, which makes Chen Xu very uncomfortable.

As a time traveler and already sitting in such a high position, if you don’t get used to it, change it until you change it to a habit. Although it does not necessarily have to be completely consistent with the provinces and cities in later generations, the geographical name and regional division that have gradually formed over the past two thousand years of China have sufficient reasons and reasons, including military considerations and terrain distinctions.
