Chapter 123 What should come will always come(1/2)

June 1st.

As usual, Chen Fei held a deliberation meeting in Yangxia.

All officials of the Right General's Mansion and the Yuzhou Prefecture Patriarchate must participate, and the newly established Yanzhou Shogunate sent people to attend.

This time, even King Chen and Liu Chong participated in it personally, which surprised everyone a little. After all, his identity is different from ordinary people and very noble.

Chen Fei also set up a guest seat for the prince and king, who was above Xun You.

As the most powerful prince of the Han Dynasty (Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, and Liu Yao were also royal families, but not kings), Liu Chong would certainly not visit him empty-handed:

"I know that the Right General has been busy with military and political affairs for several years and has little spare time, so I never dared to disturb him. Today I heard that Yangxia had a meeting, so I hurriedly rode my horse and came uninvited. I hope to forgive my crime."

Chen Fei smiled and said:

"His Highness King Chen is so serious. I am about to apologize to His Highness for the unauthorized secondment of the Chen army."

Liu Chong waved his hand quickly:

"The Right General, please be careful of his words. The Han Dynasty's etiquette system is the rule of law, and the princes and kings shall not be allowed to interfere in the local area. Since the Right General, the military and political affairs of the Central Plains, officials and soldiers from the Chen State are all under the control of the general. If this is still insufficient, there are still 300 old servants inside and outside the palace, including the lonely king, and you can go to war with the general!"

Chen Fei clasped his fists and bowed:

"Thank you, your highness, it's just because Zhu Cavalry led the army to fight against Yuan Shu in the south. The young and the young people in Runan took the opportunity to cause trouble, so there is no need to work for your highness to take action himself."

Liu Chong raised his hand:

"I heard that the Right General did not admire luxury and lived a simple life. Gu did not believe it. Today, he entered the city and the mansion. He felt that this statement was true. After comparing it, he felt even more ashamed. Gu carried several classic books, musicians, dancers, maids, and hundreds of servants during this trip. He was willing to present it to the general to express his mediocre feelings to the State of Chen. I hope the general will not refuse."

Chen Fei hesitated for a moment. He was really not interested in traditional music, singing and dancing, and even felt drowsy when he listened to music. As for maids, etc.... this one can be found.

Seeing that he did not agree, Liu Chong suddenly became anxious.

Fortunately, all the military generals here were sent to fight, and the rest were all cultural people. Only Yuan Hui, a literary employed person, whispered:

"Mr. Music is also the etiquette of the country. All wise kings of all dynasties have put the repair of rituals and music first. Therefore, after the Spring and Autumn Period, the world was divided, and Confucius sighed that "rituals collapsed and music was destroyed."

Chen Fei finally nodded:

"Your Highness is so kind that he really dares not refuse, so he can only thank you again and again."

After the gift was given, Liu Chong also smiled with satisfaction:

"Today, I will send a hundred people to the mansion. After a few days, I will send someone to send all their families, old and young people to serve the general with peace of mind."

This cut off the possibility of secretly holding his family and forcing him to be a secret spy, and it also shows that Liu Chong is really just to please Chen Fei.

Chen Fei thanked him with his hands:

"Your Highness is thorough in thinking, but I really don't know how to repay you."

Liu Chong smiled, finally gave up his intention, pointed to a young man behind him and said:

"This is Liu Ming, the youngest son of Gu. He was just sixteen. He was not good at studying since childhood. He just liked to ride horses and fight dogs. Because he was not the eldest son, he could not inherit the title. His mother cried to me many times, wanting to find a future for his son. Although Gu is King Chen, he can only be helpless and can only ask for a general with shamelessness, so that he can point out a way out and stop nagging."

Chen Fei was indeed surprised.

The dignified Han prince not only gave gifts himself, but also sent his own son to his own account to serve?

This is a clear and blatant statement:

"The Han royal family has no hope. I will hold Chen Yunlong's thigh tightly!"

Chen Fei first pondered for a moment, then showed a embarrassed look:

"If the nobles of the Han Dynasty are assigned at will, they are afraid of being wronged."

Liu Chong hurriedly signaled to his son:

"If you don't feel wronged, you won't feel wronged. The general will treat him as an ordinary soldier. If you don't obey the orders, you will be beaten and kicked. Xiao Ming, your father is looking for a job for you, why don't you kowtow to the general quickly?!"

Poor father was almost kneeling down in person, but Liu Ming still looked unhappy, but he was not an ordinary rebellious boy after all. After all, he was still kneeling down:

"I hope the general will never give up, Liu Ming is willing to serve the horse!"

Chen Fei sighed and signaled Chu Mao and Xun Ji, two young men, to help him up:

"I have known all your heart to love your son, but the great man seems to have never had such an example, which really makes me embarrassed. In this way, I will be wronged for the time being. I will serve as the guard officer in my right general's mansion. When you are familiar with the affairs of the various cadres, you will then take the position of an official position?"

"Thank you, General Right!"

Liu Chong looked surprised and hurriedly thanked him, but Liu Ming still looked unhappy.

[I can obviously be a lazy royal family member, why do you have to work hard, Dad?]

【Being a guard for others... How tiring would it be!】

Seeing that they were quite satisfied, Chen Fei smiled and asked casually:

"Although he is only a man, he is considered an official, so he cannot call him a name directly. Your Highness, can the son have the name of a watch?"

Liu Chong immediately shook his head:

"I am not aware of my skills and have never cared about these things. I have heard that the Right General is gifted and has a literary mind like the sea, Hu Kongming, Xun Zhongyu, Cao Mengde, and Zang Ziyuan are all worshipped under the general's poems. They are an unparalleled man in the world. I also asked to take the name of the Dogzi to show the future!"

【Good guy, it turns out that you have heard my Psalms too.】

Chen Fei held back and didn't laugh. After pretending to be contempt, he gently tapped the case:

"The bright one is Liang, so I took the word "Wenliang". I hope you will not practice alone in the future, but also study literature diligently, and live up to the long-term hope of honor."

Liu Chong was praised at the first time:

"Wen Liang is indeed catchy and profound. The words that the general took for the dog son are really deeply loved by me!"

This time he did not urge him, and Liu Ming automatically bowed and bowed:

"Thank you General!"

-

After watching the play "Liu Chong gives gifts and offers to his son", today's meeting finally officially began.

Many important officials have issues.

For example, Xun You, who is in charge of military affairs, pointed out:

"With the power of the king and the lord, they have already crossed the four states of Sili, Yan, Yu and Yang, but the four states are incomplete. For example, although Yanzhou is a new affiliation, Taishan and Dongjun are respectively occupied by Zang Ba and Zang Hong. The war in Yangzhou has just begun, and there are military use everywhere. Although there are currently 100,000 armored soldiers, they are already in short supply."

Chen Fei agreed with his opinion:

"This summer's bumper harvest is enough to support the expansion of the army. All counties and states are allowed to recruit young and strong men and form troops on their own. However, the number of soldiers is not large, and the number of people is limited to one-tenth of the household registration under their jurisdiction."

This proportion is not low. For example, if there is more than one million household registration in Yuzhou (the population is more than five million), you can recruit up to 100,000 regular soldiers, while there are 400,000 households in Yanzhou (the population is more than two million), so you can only recruit 40,000 soldiers.

Of course, Chen Fei also considered the actual needs, so he pointed out that the 6,000 troops of Wang Chong, stationed in Jiyin and 1,000 troops of Gao Shun, were not within the local quota, which was equivalent to adding 7,000 places to Yanzhou. For Yanzhou, which had only four counties, 47,000 permanent soldiers were enough to deal with general affairs.

Xu Jing, who is in charge of supervision, also raised his own issues:

"The three counties in Runan are in chaos because the prefectures and counties are negligent in patrols, so they are unable to detect the abnormal movements of officials and the people in time. Now, Yanzhou has these disadvantages, and it is not too late to repair the problem of the sheep."

This issue should not be underestimated. Although Cao Cao had a peaceful handover, he might not have left behind a "back move" in various parts of Yanzhou. If the two sides confront each other in the future, these "back moves" may play an unexpected role in Chen Fei.

Chen Fei thought about it carefully for a moment:

"The affairs of the administration of officials are related to national affairs and have never been careless. I ask you to immediately start forming a supervision team, with a number of no less than one hundred people. You can appoint officials on your own, with an official rank of 200 or 400 stones. You are responsible for inspecting the officials and civilians of counties and counties. Even if there is any news, you can report it directly to me. By the way, it is not only limited to Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Henan, and even in the future Yangzhou, Wenxiu can be inquired about it."

Xu Jing did not expect that he suddenly changed from a commander to a leader with "self-appointment power". He immediately felt that his old bones had lighter, and he quickly bowed:

"Abide by the orders of the king and the lord!"

Although his eyes fell on the carpet, he could fully feel that the old guy Xu Shao must have been so jealous that his eyes were full of fire!

Sure enough, as soon as he straightened his back, he heard Xu Shao ask questions:

"June, this matter is inappropriate!"

Xu Jing immediately glared at him.

But Xu Shao explained:

"Shao did not object to the affairs of supervisors, but believed that the election of talents was a position in the governance of the country. The king and the prince ordered him to appoint him on his own, which seemed to be... arguing that he would overstep his authority and overstep his authority."

Zhu Ling, who had just publicly slapped everyone's mouth a day ago, also expressed objection:

"The procuratorate is responsible for supervising all officials, but the procuratorate appointed officials on his own. Who will monitor him?"

Xu Jing suddenly had nothing to say, so he could only pause his head and remain silent.

Seeing the two brothers hinder each other, Chen Fei did not have the headache of the last time, but instead smiled:

"I have considered it too simple. What Mr. Zi Jiang said is reasonable. Since I have already clarified my powers for you, I cannot change the orders every day. In this way, you can recruit and assist officials on your own and have the right to recommend officials. However, all appointments of officials above 100 stone must be approved by the Zhizhong. As for the appointment and removal of officials above 600 stones or more, they must be approved by my own consent. If there is any violation, it will be considered a disorderly law."

His handling was relatively fair, and Xu Jing had nothing to say, so he could only bow and praise with Xu Shao:

"Junhou Yingming."

When he arrived at Xu Shao, he also raised an issue:

"Although Shao has been searching for talents and recommending him as an official, he is far from the speed of the kings and marquis expanding his territory, which has led to the emptiness of prefectures and counties and government offices, and officials at all levels are exhausted from government affairs, so he specially requested to send additional subordinates..."

His meaning is the same as Xu Jing, and he is complaining about insufficient staff.

Since Chen Fei agreed to add someone to Xu Jing, it is impossible for him to refuse Xu Shao's request:
To be continued...
