V2.Chapter 634

The current situation of Fengguo is that on the surface, it seems that the military strength is strong and the national strength is prosperous. In fact, there are many internal problems, and the rampant behavior of local corrupt officials is one of the major problems.

The root cause of this problem is Tang Yin. The Fengguo expanded rapidly, and the occupied land needs to be garrisoned and managed. All along, Tang Yin's principle of employment is not to attach importance to ability, but only to loyalty. As long as loyalty is enough, he will be promoted exceptionally. The people who are most loyal to Tang Yin and whom he trusts most are the soldiers who fight side by side with him.

The officers and soldiers in the army are assigned to local areas to serve as the first county lieutenant, the first county lieutenant and the city Lord of the county, which is very effective in the early stage. These people are loyal to Tang Yin and the Fengguo, and they can basically consolidate one place after the Fengguo occupies one place, without large-scale rebellion, and the troops fighting in front will not have worries at home. However, with the end of the war, the shortcomings of these military to political officials gradually exposed.

When it comes to leading soldiers to fight and attack, they are first-class experts, but they are all laymen in local governance, and their political achievements are not much. Instead, they bring all the style of the wind army to the officialdom, bullying men and women, embezzling and collecting money, being cruel and violent, and becoming local bullies.

Fengguo now has the largest territory among the countries, but its annual tax revenue is not as good as that of Anguo, let alone Sichuan.

Shangguan Yuanji has always been bitter about this problem and wants to mention it with Tang Yin, but there are too many aspects involved, so he is not easy to open his mouth. Now Tang Yin himself puts forward the problems he sees in Nancheng. He just makes use of the topic and brings the whole problem to Tang Yin.

Tang Yin never knew that there were many local problems. He was silent for a long time. He looked up at Qiu Zhen. Seeing that the latter hung his head and didn't speak, he turned his eyes to Shangguan Yuanji and asked, "Yuanji, how do you say to solve this matter? Remove and replace all these local officials who have been transferred from the army to government?"

"No!" Qiu Zhenmeng raised his head and said, "in this way, there will be great trouble! These local brothers have made great achievements in the army. Removing them for no reason will not only make these brothers feel cold, but also make the officers and soldiers feel cold and dissatisfied with the king."

All generals and soldiers who change from military to government must pass the hand of Qiu Zhen. Although the nomination is reported by the heads of the armed forces, the final decision must be examined and approved by his left Prime Minister first, and then submitted to Tang Yin. As a left minister, he is the leader of the wind army and is very considerate of the soldiers in the army. From the heart, he doesn't want to replace all these officials who have been transferred from the army to government.

Shangguan Yuanji nodded, Positive color channel: "What Qiu Xiang said is that this matter must be handled slowly and not too hastily, because there may be more than 20 counties involved. The removal of county heads, county heads and city leaders of more than 20 counties at once will not only cause local chaos and panic, but also may turn these people against. You know, they are all soldiers with military background and long experience, and can fight for good Fight... "

"They dare!" Hearing this, Tang Yin looked ugly. Teng stood up and said in a deep voice, "I gave them everything they have today. Now I want to take it back. Who dares to rebel?"

Qiu Zhen hurriedly said, "yes! These brothers will never rebel. They all climbed out of the dead with the king..."

Shangguan Yuanji shook his head and smiled bitterly and said, "in this world, the most transmutation is the people's heart. There are many people who can share adversity but not wealth!"

After a pause, he continued: "besides, they are all generals from all major legions. They have a wide range of contacts in all legions. They are also old subordinates and brothers of the heads of all armies. If they rebel, it is unknown whether the legions will change!"

Tang Yin subconsciously clenched his fist and clenched his lips. Qiu Zhen angrily scolded, "Yuanji, don't say any more. Do you know what you just said? It's a mistake to destabilize the morale of the army and alienate kings and officials."

Shangguan Yuanji smiled calmly and said, "as an official, he wants to eat your salary, share your worries and prevent trouble before it burns. Does Qiu Xiang care too much about his subordinates..." and forget who he is loyal to. He didn't say the second half of the sentence.

Even if it was only the first half of the sentence, it was enough to stab Qiu Zhen. There was anger in his eyes and asked, "Yuanji said I was shielding my subordinates?"

Seeing Qiu zhenhuo, Shangguan Yuanji quickly waved his hand with a smile and said, "what are you angry about? I'm just talking about the matter. The key depends on how the king decides." As he spoke, he looked at Tang Yin.

He has fully revealed the powerful relationship among them. He believes that with the wisdom of the king, he should understand what to do.

Those officials who have been transferred from the army to government are not directly subordinates of Qiu Zhen. There are also military heads of various armies between them. If they want to move them, Qiu Zhen is still angry. If they do so, the reaction of military heads may be known. If this goes on in the long run, the wind country will be worried.

Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "well, stop arguing." His face changed, and he walked around the room, wandering back and forth. Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji stood on both sides with their heads down. The former did not forget to stare at the latter to express his dissatisfaction.

Originally, it was just a small matter in Nancheng, either punishment or punishment. You should discuss the matter as it is. You have to make trouble without making trouble and involve a lot of things. It's difficult for you to deal with it and annoys the king.

After pacing for a long time, Tang Yin stopped to look at Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen. He sighed and said, "I have to think about it carefully. I'll discuss it later!"

"Your Majesty, there is a matter of urgency. This matter is related to the foundation of the country. It must not be delayed..."

Before Shangguan Yuanji finished, Qiu Zhen stood up and interrupted, "by the way, your majesty, how did you think about the division of Huandi territory?" As he spoke, he squinted at Shangguan Yuanji, meaning to shut him up.

"I've thought about it. I'm going to divide Huiting county and Zhushan County in Huandi into Yuguo and Baima county and Yishu County into Anguo. What do you think?"

"Huiting, Zhushan, Baima, Yishu..." Qiu Zhen took out the map, spread it on the table, pointed his fingers on it, and looked at it carefully for a while. He grinned: "it's very good, especially the white horse and Yishu counties in Anguo, which are adjacent to Zhendi. Our army can garrison here. In name, it is to help secure the country and defend the land. In fact, it can be of great use!"

"Yes, I think so..."

Talking about military affairs and future strategy, Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen immediately became eloquent, and Shangguan Yuanji couldn't talk at all. When everything was discussed, Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji both walked away from Tang Yin when they saw that Tang Yin was also tired.

Out of the study, he came outside. They talked in a low voice as they walked. Shangguan Yuanji said, "Qiu Xiang, why didn't you let me speak just now?"

"What are you talking about? About the dismissal? With so many officials involved in so many fields, what should you do? You don't have a good way, and what do you want the king to do? Since you can't solve it, don't talk about it again." Qiu Zhen shook his head.

"Can we just let it go and ignore it?"

"Birds hide their bows when they are good, and cunning rabbits cook when they die. People still have to remove the mill and kill the donkey. I'm going to kill the donkey before I remove the mill. In fact, the king has just said it very frankly. What do you mean by discussing it later? I'm just telling you, let's wait until later!" Qiu Zhen grinned slowly, revealing two rows of white teeth.

"If the foundation is unstable, how can we talk about great cause? In the long run, our country will not win the country of Sichuan. I'm afraid we will have to die in our own hands first!" Shangguan Yuanji sighed faintly.

"You can even say that. I don't think you're going to die." Qiu Zhenxin muttered absently. He craned his neck and looked at the bodyguard running in a hurry in front of him.

When the bodyguard was about to run past him, he reached out his hand to stop the bodyguard and asked in a deep voice, "what's so urgent?"

"Prime minister Qiu, Shangguan Prime Minister!" The bodyguard stopped, quickly saluted them, and then whispered, "a messenger from the state of Sichuan has arrived. It's an autographed letter from the king of Sichuan sent to the king."

"Oh?" Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji were stunned. The king of Sichuan wrote to the king, which is really new! Qiu Zhen asked, "where is the envoy now? What else did you say?"

"The envoy of the state of Sichuan was outside the palace and said nothing else."

"Well, I see. The king is in the study. Go quickly!" Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji looked at each other and turned back. The letter from the king of Sichuan was not a trivial matter. They were also curious about what the king of Sichuan would say in his letter.

When they walked back to the study, Tang Yin was opening the envelope. When he saw them, he smiled and said, "you two came back just in time. Xiao Xuan sent a letter."

"I have just heard."

Tang Yin took out the letter paper, opened it, smiled and said, "OK, it's really good."

Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji zhanger monk are confused. The king will say what he sees?

Tang Yin's next words almost made them vomit blood. "Brother Xiao Wang's handwriting is really good. Unfortunately, I can't understand a word." As he spoke, he held the letter paper between his fingers, handed it to Qiu Zhen and said, "read!"

Qiu Zhen hurriedly took over and looked down. The letter paper was full of words. Speaking of it, Xiao Xuan's words were very beautiful, vigorous and powerful. They were quite guarded by everyone. They were just written in wild grass. Let alone Tang Yin couldn't understand them. Even he had a lot of trouble reading them and needed careful identification.

He looked at it from the beginning, then was happy and said, "king, this is a letter of salvation." Then he read the contents of the letter from beginning to end.
