Chapter 267 Liu Chonggui's Veteran Way
In Wei Fufeng's eyes, the county town of Wuhua in Xiangzhou has obviously been repaired vigorously.
The streets in the city were flat and the people came and went in an orderly manner. Most of them were local ethnic groups (Zhuang people) carrying bamboo baskets. When they saw the officers and soldiers calmly, they avoided the situation without any panic.
Wei Zhaodu and Xiangzhou Governor Liu Haisu walked in front, talking while walking.
Wei Fufeng and Governor Xiang followed behind and spoke while walking.
The governor of Xiang Guoming was named Gao Wei. He was born in the Yuzhou Governor's Office and served as the military supervisor. Wei Fufeng's position during the war was a post on the front line.
While walking, the governor of Xiangzhou reported on the situation.
With the 5,000 troops stationed, the situation in Xiangzhou was basically stable, and the governance was gentle, encouraged rural and commercial workers, and charged corvee labor for a fee, which allowed local ethnic groups to gradually accept government governance.
Wei Fufeng was satisfied with Gao Wei and planned to transfer his brother-in-law to leave in the future and promote Gao Wei to serve as the governor of Xiangzhou.
My brother-in-law is a well-established person and a conservative personality, and is suitable for important rule.
When they arrived at the prefecture yamen, everyone's eyes lit up. The prefecture yamen in their eyes was obviously newly built, with white walls and black tiles, stone lions squatting, red doors and stone steps, and eight armored men stood up, showing the dignity of the government.
"Ziang Ye Wei, this prefecture yamen was built by Yuzhou Governor's Office." The governor of Xiangzhou explained.
Wei Zhaodu nodded, and Wei Fufeng said: "The government is a symbol of rule. It is shabby and dilapidated. Although an official should work diligently and love the people, he should also enjoy the welfare of being an official. The construction of prefectures and county governments and major renovations, and local officials have no right to be independent and dare to renovate the main body privately is equivalent to corruption."
Wei Zhaodu nodded, and asked the governor of Xiangzhou to go down the steps, enter the prefectural yard, walk past the screen wall, and the chief Gao Wei bid farewell and leave.
The governor of Xiangzhou said politely: "My father is waiting for the prime minister in Jingyuan."
Continue to guide, walk through the door on the left side of the lobby, walk dozens of meters along the alley, and turn left into a lush and bamboo-filled landscape garden.
When he entered the scenic garden, Liu Haisu stopped and looked at Wei Fufeng, saying, "Fufeng, Xiangzhou is not rich. I think it is inappropriate to build such a luxurious state yamen. We should adapt to local conditions to avoid wasting people and financial troubles."
Wei Fufeng said, "Brother did not understand what a symbol of rule is. My brother outside explained that this was built by the Yuzhou Governor's Office, not to consume the people's strength and levies in Xiangzhou."
Liu Haisu was slightly stunned and said, "Your deep meaning is to establish the ruling recognition of the Yuzhou Governor's Office."
Wei Fufeng nodded and said, "Yuzhou Governor's Office is the center of rule. The first step is to build a yamen, the second step is to build a college and prosper Buddhist and Taoism. However, respecting Tujia's beliefs is the first priority, and no belief in fighting and causing trouble."
Liu Haisu nodded, and Wei Zhaodu said, "Fufeng, you are willing to build a college, which will be beneficial to the long-term and great kindness."
Wei Fufeng said: "Etiquette and morality collapse in troubled times requires the rebuilding of people's morality. In addition, it can also absorb talents and apply what they have learned, and at least they can have food and clothing."
Wei Zhaodu nodded, and Wei Fufeng said again: "If you want to do it, your grandson must control business and not expect to exploit agriculture and do things."
Wei Zhaodu was slightly stunned. Of course, he could hear that Wei Fufeng had some advice, and he had no choice but to use his name to act.
Wei Fufeng said again: "Brother, please lead the way."
Liu Haisu led the way and walked for a while to reach the center of Jingyuan, where there was a pavilion built, with four servants standing inside and outside.
On the left side of the bamboo table in the pavilion, an old man in a genital dress was lying on his back on a bamboo chair with gray beard, thin cheeks, sunken eyes, and obvious tranquil years.

Liu Chonggui whispered: "Li Maozhen, Xichuan will be captured sooner or later by Fufeng. Your elder brother is conservative and is not suitable for serving in Xiangzhou for a long time. If he can serve as the Yin of Chengdu in the future, he may be able to be rich for several generations."
"The father is seeking blessings for his elder brother, and his daughter will ask people to speak." Liu Yue'e replied.
Liu Chonggui whispered: "At any time, don't seek official positions directly, as it will make the superiors disgusted, and you must strictly restrain your relatives from doing things. You must not ignore any rumors of doing things. You must make people investigate it strictly. If it is true, you must destroy your relatives for justice and never tolerate them."
"Daughter, remember." Liu Yue'e responded.
Liu Chonggui asked, "Have there any changes in Fufeng's rule?"
Liu Yue'e talked about Langfeng Prefecture and the establishment of the Luling Jiedushi, and also said that Wei Fufeng planned to appoint ten eunuchs to control the commerce in Lingnan and Fujian, and to control the salt and profit control.
After hearing this, Liu Chonggui was thoughtful. After a moment, he ordered the four treasures of the study, to send Wei Fufeng a letter with his sick body, and then asked Liu Yue'e to send someone away.
Wei Fufeng received a letter on the way, warning Wei Fufeng that the ambitious generals were evil tigers, and the ambitious eunuchs were jackals. Once they lost control, the evil tigers were external troubles and the jackals were internal troubles.
Since the middle Tang Dynasty, eunuchs decided to ascend the throne, and the disasters were more harmful than military generals.
Eunuchs can use them, but they must be divided and ruled. It is taboo to form a group of leaders.
The ten eunuchs had the best position of equal status and were not in charge of each other. They chose the stupid ones to stay in the center, the smart ones to take responsibility outside, and prevent the smart ones to expand their ambitions and usurp the central authority.
It is best not to give eunuchs the guards of the center.
The following also briefly talks about how to control salt enhancement and proposes a salt enhancement strategy.
Wei Fufeng read the letter, pondered for a moment, and suddenly ordered to turn back to Xiangzhou.
When he returned to the Xiangzhou Prefecture Office, Wei Fufeng had a deep conversation with Liu Chonggui. Liu Chonggui was an official for many years and served as the judge of the Duzhi Branch and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
The so-called "specialization in art" and clear the pros and cons of the officialdom's financial quotas, which made Wei Fufeng's plan to monopolize business was improved.
Finally, Liu Chonggui mentioned that Zhaojue Temple in Chengdu, and he was willing to be buried near Zhaojue Temple after his death.
Zhaojue Temple has the Zhaojue Temple stele he wrote, which is a glory of his life.
Wei Fufeng heard this and said, "If Xichuan can be captured in the future, his father-in-law can be buried in Chengdu. Before Xichuan is captured, it is not advisable to let the elder brother get involved in danger."
Liu Chonggui nodded and said, "Fufeng, as the saying goes, fight with preparation, don't you think there is a possibility of a war within the pass?"
Wei Fufeng was stunned, thought for a while, and said, "Please give me advice from my father-in-law."
Liu Chonggui said: "According to the Zhengji, Wang Xingyu failed to seize the city in Fuzhou, and he was furious and constantly threatened and oppressed the court. Wang Xingyu's martial arts were tyrannical and could not suffer any loss, and he did things arbitrary. Everything that happened in the pass was inherited by Hezhong Prefecture, and Han Jian's march into Hezhong Prefecture failed."
"My father-in-law means that Wang Xingyu may join forces with Han Jian to attack Fuzhou or Hezhong Prefecture." Wei Fufeng said.
Liu Chonggui nodded and said, "I think the three towns in the pass may be united. At that time, Li Maozhen will definitely draw the military force of Xichuan."
Wei Fufeng said gently: "My father-in-law, the son-in-law has been able to avoid being captured by Wang Xingyu until now. It is mainly because the tiger skin of the Hedong army is shocked, and the three towns in the pass dare not provoke the Hedong army."
Liu Chonggui said: "Then why did Han Jian dare to enter Hezhong Prefecture?"
Wei Fufeng was stunned and silent.
