Chapter 457： Chen Qun and Feng Yi

On the battlefield of the Goryeo Kingdom, a dragon flag was inserted on the wall of Uiju City, and Chang Yuchun was violently mounted on the wall, with dead bodies everywhere.

In order to capture the city in the north of Goryeo Kingdom, the Liaodong Army besieged Uiju City and attacked it.

Eighty thousand defenders of the Goryeo Kingdom were killed in action, and Mingguan led Guan Ning Tieqi into the city.

"The Korean officials guarding the city, what should I do?"

Aobai escorted a group of Korean officials to Mingguan. This group of Koryo officials were all terrified, their life and death depended on the thought of the lord of the Han Empire.

"All the resisters are killed. The city contributors can obtain part of the resisters' property and occupy a high position."

Under the order of Mingguan, dozens of officials of Korea were killed, and the remaining officials were only committed. They got part of the spoils, which is equivalent to getting on the thief ship.

"Cui Jae-sun has retreated to Xijing, defending with 100,000 people, and called on 200,000 rebels to support Xijing..."

"The Chu Zi of Xuzhou planned to occupy Yuzhou with the intention of attacking Jizhou."

Yanqi Guild brought the information Mingguan wanted to know.

"Chu Zimou is about to covet Hebei. If my side does not pacify Korea as soon as possible, I will be passive. I will pacify the towns, if there are violators, I will kill them without mercy."

"The main force of the legion, follow me south!"

Mingguan only left 50,000 defenders to suppress the city of Uiju, and more than 100,000 main forces drove the descendants of Goryeo south.

Mingguan’s strategy is also very simple. There will always be someone in Korea who is willing to be his dog. As long as there is a dog to lead the way, it is relatively simple to attack the remaining cities of Korea.

Guanning Iron Cavalry, Eight Banners, Xianbei Cavalry, Wuhuan Cavalry, and the Liaodong Army, dominated by cavalry, continued to go south, mighty, with no end in sight.

Chu Tian asked Xu You to be placed in Xiacheng, ready to take him to explore Hebei. Chen Ji, Chen Qun and his son from Yingchuan came to the lord's mansion to meet him on the order of Chutian.

Chen Ji, Chen Qun and his son originally referred to Tang's civil servants, but considering that Tang had no future, they came to seek refuge in Chutian.

Some members of the family may not be loyal to the lord.

In history, Chen Qun followed Liu Bei and Lu Bu, and then took refuge in Cao Cao. He was not a foolish person. Chen Qun persuaded Liu Bei to guard against Lu Bu, but Liu Bei did not obey. Maybe Chen Qun was disappointed with Liu Bei, so he didn't follow Liu Bei again.

It is understandable to rely on powerful princes in troubled times.

Chen Ji, Chen Qun and his son are all scholars.

For the Yingchuan family, Chu Tian was somewhat defensive, and the forces of Cao and Wei implemented the nine-rank system of Zhongzheng, which became the election tool for the clan. This is Cao Wei's helpless compromise to the family.

But Chutian was different. He exercised strict control over the various legions. The main generals came from other dynasties. They had not formed a family, so they could not give much face to the local family.

Chen Ji and Chen Qun cannot deal with Chu Tian in the past, otherwise they would not know how to die.

Chutian randomly glanced at the two panels, focusing on Chen Qun.

Chen Ji is very old and far less successful than his son.

[Name]: Chen Qun

[Talent]: Emperor Wenchen

[Identity]: Sikong, the main advocate of the Nine Pin Zhongzheng system

【Loyalty】: 70

[Commander]: 32 [Strength]: 24 [Intelligence]: 83 [Politics]: 97 [Charm]: 73

[Phaseality]: Calm

[Friendly Degree]: 50

[Feature 1]: Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System (SS-level neutral characteristics, when the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng system is implemented, the satisfaction of all-power families is +30%, the probability of the appearance of family talents +20%, the etiquette system is stable +20%, the poor and the civilians are satisfied Degree -30%, the probability of talent appearing -10%)

[Feature 2]: Wei Lu (SS-level feature, public security and public sentiment are not easy to decline, and the probability of crime and corruption is greatly reduced)

[Feature 3]: Qingliu Yawang (S-level feature, when Chen Qun is not dead, family satisfaction +10%)

……

Chen Qun went through the three dynasties of Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Rui, and was older than Sima Yi. He advocated the Nine-Pin Zhongzheng system and influenced the entire Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties' system of selecting officials. It was not until the imperial examination system in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was perfect that it replaced the Nine-Pin Zhongzheng system.

Chen Qun’s characteristic bonus is also quite large. It's just that the "Nine Grades Zhongzheng System" is a system with both advantages and disadvantages. After the Chutian forces implemented their own imperial examination system, the Nine Grades Zhongzheng System will be of little use.

Nine-rank Zhongzheng system is a system that sacrifices the interests of the poor and the common people and safeguards the interests of the noble family. It is also a compromise between Cao Wei and the noble family. However, there are a large number of players in Chutian's territory.

It is impossible for the group of players to agree to Chutian's implementation of the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng system to form a class consolidation.

The interests of players, civilians, poor families, aristocratic families, and soldiers must be considered.

Secondly, Jiupin Zhongzheng System has a certain background of the times. After Cai Lun improved papermaking, the price of paper was still very expensive, so there is an allusion that Luoyang paper is expensive. The family has a monopoly on almost all knowledge, so the probability of the birth of talents is higher, and they have the ability to govern the country.

Until the advancement of printing and the relatively cheap dissemination of knowledge, the imperial examination system replaced the Jiupin Zhongzheng system. In the Song Dynasty, when printing was at its peak, the status of literati was even higher.

In "Territory", there are already economic buildings like paper mills, and there are still a large number of players influx. The family cannot monopolize knowledge.

There is no greater significance in the implementation of the nine-grade Zhongzheng system.

Of course, Chen Qun has a political value of 97. As the Minister of the Interior, he is more than enough to handle the usual internal affairs.

"You go to Xuchang and still handle the internal affairs of Yuzhou."

Chutian considered that Li Li, the governor of Qingzhou, was a competent minister of internal affairs, Yanzhou had Cheng Yu and Du Ruhui, and Xuzhou had two (Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong), and Yuzhou lacked ministers, so he sent Chen Ji and Chen Qun to Yuzhou.

Chen Qun is a smart man, very sensitive to standing in line. Said that Tang's power was declining, and there was only one Nanyang County left, and Chen Qun would never choose to return to Shuo Tang anyway...

"We must do our best."

Chen Ji and Chen Qun did not expect that Chu Tian called a group of themselves to come, but simply asked about the situation in Yuzhou, and then sent them back to Yingchuan to visit the Yuzhou they were familiar with.

Chu Tian narrowed his eyes and watched Chen Ji and Chen Qun leave.

Within his sphere of influence, the Xuzhou family, the Yingchuan family, the Yanzhou family, the Nanyang family, and scholars from all over the world went to work.

But Chu Tian didn't worry too much. The imperial examination system absorbed a group of players, unfamiliar people, civilians, and talents from other dynasties. All forces competed for checks and balances. He did not need to compromise with the local family like Cao Pi.

"Can Feng Yi be brought here?"

In addition to summoning Chen Ji and Chen Qun who had surrendered, Chu Tian also summoned Feng Yi.

General Dashu Feng Yi is very reliable, Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu was unable to capture the city he defended for a while. If it can be surrendered, Chutian has a stable army commander equivalent to Zhou Yafu's level.

The larger the territory, the more army commanders Chutian needs.

After a while, Feng Yi was brought by Dianwei. With Dianwei on the side, Feng Yi could not kill Chutian with his bare hands.

Feng Yi is a prisoner, but his expression is quite calm.

"In today's turmoil, the people are not living, the soldiers are pointed out, and the lives are disgraced. If you want to end the troubled world, you can only stop fighting with force. If you have the help of generals, great things can be accomplished, and this is the blessing of all people."

Chu Tian moves with affection, and knows with reason.

Feng Yi was a little shaken.

Chutian possesses the characteristics of "Han Wu", which is extra attractive to the civil servants of the Han Dynasty.

Feng Yi, as a general in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, was inevitably affected.

Chu Tian continued to brainwash Feng Yi: "I set up troops from Langya, suppressed the Yellow Turban, defeated Dong Zhuo, and swept the Central Plains for my own pleasure? I am for the people of the world. The general helps me to calm the world and guard the surroundings. It is a good thing for the country and the people. Please think twice..."

Chutian continued to brainwash Feng Yi, who remained silent, and only a few hours later let him take Feng Yi away.

Feng Yi is now a little confused, Chu Tian has mastered the basic brainwashing ability.

Unless he is a loyal person, Chu Tian will probably convince him.

If it doesn't work for one day, then call in Feng Yi every day to discuss Kuangfu Han room with him.

Chu Tian thinks Feng Yi will surrender soon, after all, Feng Yi is brainwashed by Chu Tian every day...

To deal with special talents, Chu Tian has enough patience.

After the capture of Yuzhou, Chutian presented all the meritorious officials to the court and asked them to be promoted to the ranks of generals, generals, generals, and lieutenants.

……

Cao Cao’s mansion in Xiacheng, Xu You came to visit with two pots of sake and talked with Cao Cao over cooking.

"In the next step, Yanzhou Mu will definitely take Hebei, and the next step may be Guanzhong."

Cao Cao has a clear view of the situation.

Xu You shook his head: "It may not be so. When I was in Jizhou, I had heard that cavalry from Mobei entered Monan. At that time, the Central Plains may face an unprecedented crisis."

Cao Cao's eyes gradually became fierce: "Mobei cavalry dares to enter the Central Plains, and it will be wiped out!"

"Only Cao Aha, you have such courage. If Yuan Benchu ​​is here, then it will be lively."

Xu You and Cao Cao are both subordinates of Chu Tian, ​​and Xu You no longer cares about the difference in official positions.

Yuan Shao has lost his status as a prince, so Xu You thinks that Yuan Shao and them can still be friends, and they will be officials in the same dynasty...

The identity of Yuan Shao IV and San Gong is there, not many princes dare to really kill Yuan Shao.

Xu You mentioned one more thing: "In the summer city, there is really a mixture of fish and dragons. I wandered in the city, not only was there many strangers, but also various families, merchants, and powerful people settled in. I also saw people recruiting doormen and raising knights. There are hundreds of applicants."

Cao Cao frowned when Xu You mentioned that someone was raising a knight in Xiacheng, and found something wrong.

In troubled times, it is not uncommon for many tyrants to gather people to protect themselves and set up manors, ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands. Some aristocratic families and merchants also have the habit of recruiting customers.

For example, Donghai Mi's family, there are tens of thousands of slaves, armed with tens of thousands of Xiangyong.

Chutian has consciously begun to crack down on this behavior.

The powerful gathering of villagers will cause the population to be hidden, and the income will belong to the powerful, and the lord’s mansion cannot collect taxes. Moreover, the existence of the doormen would threaten Chutian's rule over the four states.

The most effective way to deal with this kind of behavior is to conduct demographic statistics and include all the population under the rule. Every time a census, a county can have at least tens of thousands of people.

In addition to registering the population every year, Chutian dispatched troops to demobilize various manor houses, resettle villagers in various villages and towns, weaken the influence of local powers on civilians, and place civilians under the direct rule of the government. When the local tycoons dared to resist, the Four Tigers of the Northern Army led an army to razing the local tyrants.

Now the four states no longer need to protect civilians. The government will provide protection for civilians and allocate wasteland.

Not only that, Chutian strictly restricted the practice of various families or merchants to provide for their customers, so it introduced a "restricted door-customer order". However, anyone who hires a customer must register with the government, and it cannot exceed a certain number.

Someone dared to raise knights in Xiacheng. This was a challenge to Chutian's authority.

Cao Cao asked: "I don't know who is soliciting knights in Xiacheng?"

Xu You wondered: "Which young man in the east of the city should be. Isn't it that Yanzhou Mu gave him some privileges or some privileges?"

Cao Cao shook his head: "Unheard of."

Cao Cao's eyes are a bit surprised.

Chutian is not like a monarch who will superficially announce a "restricted door-to-door order" and then secretly grant privileges to certain people.

Chutian can rise up without committing such a taboo. Unless Cao Cao saw the wrong person.

"Let's go to Chengdong and meet this person for a while."

Taking advantage of Jiuxing, Cao Cao intends to go with Xu You to see who dared to recruit doormen with great fanfare during Chutian's implementation of the "restriction of doormen and visitors".

East of the city, as expected, a large household was recruiting strangers, and a notice was posted in front of the mansion.

"Anyone who has a skill can be a doorman."

Cao Cao looked at the notice and exchanged a glance with Xu You. He was even more curious about the identity of the owner Eight unarmed men stood around the gate and stopped Cao Cao and Xu You.

They glanced at the short stature Cao Cao and Xu You, who had no power to hold a chicken, and stopped them: "You two don't look like good people. Don't you have any skills? If it's just ordinary skills, then it's not worthy of being called. One skill, leave quickly."

Cao Cao, a partial general and legion commander, was scorned by the gatekeeper, and couldn't help being annoyed: "Commanding thousands of troops and pacifying the Central Plains, is it considered a skill?"

Xu You was also indignant: "Is it considered a skill to make a strategizing and win a thousand miles away?"

It is rare for two people to wear a pair of pants.

No matter what, it is really a shame to be underestimated by the other party.

"Go, go, don't say anything about it here. What kind of status is our son, unless you can fight against thousands of people, or have some hackneyed tricks, can you get into the eyes of our son."

The doorman thought that Cao Cao and Xu You were only here to make trouble, and planned to blast Cao Cao and Xu You away.

If it weren't for Xiacheng's "Knife Hunting Order" to confiscate all weapons except the army and civil servants (only sabers), this group of big men would chase away Cao Cao directly.

Cao Cao became more curious about the origin of the owner here, rolling his small eyes a few times, and said to Xu You: "We must find a way to enter this courtyard, or try to lead the owner out."

Xu You asked: "Will the plan be settled?"

Cao Cao is ruthless: "Set fire."

"Ahem... The two directly report their names, and these servants will bring them in."

A voice rang from behind Cao Cao and Xu You.
