As the supreme ruler of Jiedu in southern Sichuan, Wei Fufeng seldom personally intervened in political affairs and spent most of his time on the military and the establishment of official positions.

It is precisely because he formulated a complete official system that the rule of southern Sichuan quickly entered the operation of officialdom.

The Dudu Mansion, the Transportation Department and the White Tiger Hall formed a decentralized military system for law supervision, financial management, and force.

Coupled with the civil management system of the military government and local officials, officials each exercise their respective powers and know how to do things.

When setting up the Southern Sichuan Festival, Wei Fufeng had a completely different mentality from most officials.

Wei Fufeng needed to worry about the overall internal and external situation, whether the Jiedu rule in southern Sichuan would be overthrown, and whether he could survive.

The mentality of most officials is immediate interests, and they do not have a serious life crisis.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Lu Su told Sun Quan that all the ministers in Jiangdong could surrender to Cao Cao, but the lord could not surrender. If the ministers surrendered, they would be able to retain their wealth and honor, but the lord would lose his life and exterminate his clan.

As the envoy of the Southern Sichuan Festival, Wei Fufeng knew full well that if the Southern Sichuan Festival was destroyed, he would inevitably be buried with him.

He has always been in conflict in his heart, always thinking of leaving with the treasure and becoming a rich man in order to save his life.

But the desire for authority is too difficult to let go.

After resolutely leaving Shangluo County and coming to Bashu, in just a few months, Wei Fufeng transformed from a low-status family concubine to a powerful figure who ruled hundreds of thousands of people.

"It's time to leave, life is everything." Wei Fufeng forced himself to think.

Although the ruling situation in southern Sichuan is becoming optimistic, the war is ruthless. Once Yang Shouliang's army arrives, everything in southern Sichuan may become a nightmare.

Xiaoxue was grinding, and Wei Fufeng took up his pen and wrote the appointment on the official document. He had previously summoned some military supervisors and asked them if they were willing to be promoted to local officials.

Wei Fufeng plans to replace county officials who are incompetent or have hidden dangers.

In addition, I also asked some Huben guards if they were willing to serve as Left County Captain and Right County Lieutenant.

Wei Fufeng deliberately hinted at the appointment of officials, that is, only those who are military supervisors are qualified to be posted as local civil servants, and Huben guards can become local military attachés.

The military supervisor directly under the governor's office is actually an offending job, and the punishment of supervision will inevitably arouse hatred.

Therefore, Wei Fufeng decided that military supervisors could be transferred to local county officials to further enhance the supervisors' career prospects.

Wei Fufeng also dismissed some incompetent officials and promoted and transferred a group of officials. He wanted the officials in southern Sichuan to remember that their authority was conferred by the Jiedu Envoy.

Within the same government office, when a superior official leaves office, he may not be able to be promoted as a subordinate official. If he is promoted, he will often face transfer.

Wei Fufeng gently put down the pen in his hand. With the same pen, if he had written it lightly a few months ago, the words he wrote might be worthless.

Now I hold the pen in my hand, like a pen of great importance, writing down the joys and sorrows of many people.

"Xiaoxue, the seal is ready, we are ready to leave." Wei Fufeng took the seal and put it down, then whispered with determination.

Xiaoxue responded softly, stretching out her jade hand to take the seal and seal it from Jiedushi.

...

A thousand guardsmen left Lu County, and Wei Fufeng wore ordinary armor and mingled among the troops.

Xiaoxue, disguised as a man, wore linen clothes and pants, and sat alone in a car. Inside the car was a treasure of gold ingots that Wei Fufeng had prepared.

Entering Changzhou smoothly all the way, Wei Fufeng saw many people and military forces actively farming.

Many people talked happily to each other while working, and the simple smiles on each one's face deeply touched Wei Fufeng's soul.

"Yang He is a capable official, and it is rare to let him

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

I'll use it." Wei Fufeng thought to himself.

Yang He was initially promoted to the governor's office. He once supervised Li Chenggang's military operations south of the Luzhou River. After returning, he was hastily appointed as the governor of Changzhou by Wei Fufeng.

Dazu County was victorious, and Yang He showed his talents in Changzhou. He not only managed the people's livelihood in an orderly manner, but also divided and persuaded more than 10,000 bandits on dozens of hills to bring trouble to Changzhou.

Although he admired Yang He's political achievements, Wei Fufeng did not intend to meet Yang He. He was still conflicted in his heart.

After seeing the people working in agriculture, I felt a little more ashamed. As the governor of southern Sichuan, I was too timid to stay in southern Sichuan.

"Let's go, everything has been arranged as much as possible. As the saying goes, everything depends on people and God, even if I stay, I can't do better." Wei Fufeng secretly explained to himself.

A thousand guardsmen passed through Changzhou, entered the boundary of Hezhou, passed through Tongliang County, and arrived at Hechuan County smoothly. After negotiating with the defenders, they were allowed to join the fleet at the dock.

A thousand guards boarded the ship and set off, sailing up the Jialing River.

...

Going upstream along the Jialing River was naturally several times slower than when we came. Wei Fufeng tried his best to hide in the cabin and endure the boring journey.

In the cabin, although there was light snow accompanying him, Wei Fufeng felt empty inside. He couldn't help but think about things in southern Sichuan, and even regretted leaving southern Sichuan.

"The Jiedushi of Southern Sichuan? It's like a dream." Wei Fufeng sighed inwardly.

The Jiedushi was a great figure who held the supreme power of a party. It is not an exaggeration to say that his authority was comparable to that of the emperor, but he actually obtained it through deception.

It's just that the high place is too cold, and being a military governor is equivalent to making a bet with one's life.

Wei Fufeng was in southern Sichuan and was on alert day and night. On the surface, he was guarded by a large number of guards, but Wei Fufeng was most worried about the assassination of the guards.

The origin of the guards was too complicated. In order not to cause panic and centrifugal emotions, Wei Fufeng could only pretend to trust him and not investigate the origins of the Tiger Guards in depth.

He knows that even guards with clear origins may not be trustworthy, so he calls in guards, usually no less than four, to deliberately create a kind of scruple.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well on the way." Wei Fufeng thought helplessly.

Not only was he afraid of betrayal and assassination by his troops, but he was also worried about being robbed and killed along the way. This was one of the reasons why he regretted leaving southern Sichuan. It was too conspicuous to travel with a grain ship.

Xiaoxue was sitting sideways, occasionally glancing at Wei Fufeng with her beautiful eyes. Wei Fufeng suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "Is there anything you want to say?"

Xiaoxue nodded and whispered: "Master Nuguan is not happy, he seems unwilling to leave southern Sichuan."

Wei Fufeng nodded and said: "Southern Sichuan is my inheritance, so naturally I am reluctant to leave."

"Since you are reluctant to leave, you can go back," Xiaoxue whispered.

A wry smile appeared on Wei Fufeng's lips, and he whispered: "I'm going to Chang'an because I have more important things to do."

Xiaoxue whispered: "I feel that it is not appropriate for adults to leave the land of foundation. You can let your subordinates do the work."

"I went to Chang'an to see the emperor, and I also wanted to see my relatives." Wei Fufeng whispered.

Xiaoxue was silent for a while, and then Wei Fufeng said again: "Xiaoxue, I have never asked you about your origin. What official position is your father?"

"The slave's grandfather was a judge in Jiangling Prefecture. His grandfather died of illness while the family was fleeing. Later he arrived in Luzhou. In order to survive, my father sold the slave." Xiaoxue replied softly.

"So, your relatives are in Luzhou." Wei Fufeng whispered.

"I don't know, the slave has been sold, so he shouldn't have thoughts of betraying his master." Xiaoxue lowered her head and whispered.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Wei Fufeng was calm and asked again: "What is your father's name?"

"Yang Qi, Nu's uncle Yang Lin, they have never been officials." Xiaoxue replied.

Wei Fufeng thought for a moment, shook his head slightly and said, "Among Luzhou officials, I have never heard of Yang Lin and Yang Qi."

"They may not be in Luzhou anymore. When my grandfather went west with his family, it was said that he took refuge with the governor of Meizhou in Xichuan." Xiaoxue whispered.

"Meizhou? Meizhou is said to have surrendered to Wang Jian. Now Xichuan has not clearly attached itself to Yazhou, Shuzhou, as well as Pengzhou and Maozhou held by Wei Rongjiedushi.

Yazhou is a border area of ​​Tubo with a vast territory and sparsely populated area. Shuzhou is located southwest of Chengdu, so it will be a matter of time before it falls to Wang Jian." Wei Fufeng subconsciously turned to the situation in Xichuan.

After a while, Wei Fufeng said calmly: "Xiaoxue, even if your relatives are in Luzhou, I can't use them only as relatives. Southern Sichuan was first established, and only by using talented people can we stabilize people's hearts."

"I understand, I don't dare to ask for favors from adults." Xiaoxue responded softly.

Wei Fufeng nodded slightly and whispered: "Xiaoxue, do you resent your relatives for betraying you?"

"The slave is not resentful. The slave and his relatives have been robbed by the mob. If my father had not sold the slave in Luzhou, the slave would have been robbed by the bandits. Moreover, the slave is a woman. Sooner or later, he will leave his family and belong to another home." Xiaoxue replied softly.

Wei Fufeng nodded slightly, Xiaoxue took a peek, lowered her eyes and whispered: "Sir, will you give slaves to others in the future?"

Wei Fufeng was slightly startled and whispered: "No, you are Sister Qingxue's maid."

"Your Excellency, you still miss me, Miss Nu." Xiaoxue whispered.

Wei Fufeng nodded and said: "When I have time when I go back this time, I will definitely go to Wudang Mountain to look for her."

"Sir, don't forget your feelings. Miss will be happy to know." Xiaoxue whispered.

Wei Fufeng was silent, with warm thoughts welling up in his heart.

In fact, he liked Lin Qingxue more than he respected him, and it was Lin Qingxue who accompanied him in taking risks.

It is precisely because of Lin Qingxue's company that Wei Fufeng has great courage and can express himself calmly and freely.

Wei Fufeng and Lin Qingxue share the same bond of adversity. Lin Qingxue can leave Wei Fufeng without any so-called responsibility and risk her life with Wei Fufeng.

Without Lin Qingxue's company, Wei Fufeng's mentality fell into panic and helplessness, and he was vigilant day and night, suspicious of the surrounding guards.

"Xiaoxue, come here." Wei Fufeng called softly.

Xiaoxue stood up and walked to Wei Fufeng. Wei Fufeng raised his hand and grasped Xiaoxue's hand, then put his arms around Xiaoxue and sat in his lap, holding Xiaoxue close to his body.

Xiaoxue slightly lowered her head and lowered her eyes, her face was shy and shy, her pretty body was a little reserved, a big hand stroked her hair, she exhaled hot air from her square mouth, and kissed her gently on her jade cheek.

.

"Xiaoxue, I didn't mean to neglect you, but my heart is always on guard. I don't want to hurt you at all. It's cold at high places. In the land of southern Sichuan, evil things such as mutiny and seizure of power may happen at any time."

Wei Fufeng whispered into the beauty's ear. He knew Xiaoxue's thoughts. Xiaoxue hoped to have a stable home and was worried that Wei Fufeng would send her away in the future.

"Sir, I am willing to serve you wholeheartedly and to accompany you faithfully throughout your life." Xiaoxue whispered softly, and her delicate body took the initiative to press close to Wei Fufeng.

Wei Fufeng silently kissed Xiaoxue, feeling both warm and a little heavier in his heart.

Today's confession made him take on the responsibility for Xiaoxue's happiness.

Before, Wei Fufeng had been deliberately keeping a distance from Xiaoxue. Without any psychological ties, he could feel at ease at any time and abandon Xiaoxue to escape alone.
