Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

The governor of a state is in charge of both military and political affairs and has the highest authority in the entire state. He is a pastoral official who can explore the military and political attributes of the entire state.

However, there is a prerequisite, that is, when the second-rank provincial governor position is conferred, it must be an orthodox imperial decree, with the seal of the imperial seal!

However, the imperial seal was lost, and the subsequent governors were only in name but not in reality. This was also the reason why Lin Mu strongly opposed Liu Yu from becoming the governor of Youzhou.

At present, only Yuzhou Mu Huang Wan, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan and Yizhou Mu Lin Mu have full authority.

In fact, there were many people who wanted to fight for other governors. Liu Yao wanted to be the governor of Yangzhou. He talked to Liu Hong privately many times and asked for it many times in the court, but Liu Hong insisted on not granting it to anyone. On this point, the late emperor Liu Hong still had a bottom line.

The governors who were granted titles later were different, and were equivalent to counterfeits. Unless... the blank imperial edicts of the previous emperor that had already been stamped with the imperial seal were used.

However, this kind of imperial edict should be very rare and is only used at critical moments.

This kind of imperial edict would be used less and less, and even Zhang Rang and others would not use it casually.

"Liu Yu's becoming the governor of Youzhou has little impact on most areas. The Gongsun and other families have already migrated with our 'help', and the northern and eastern parts of Youzhou are completely under our control." Lin Mu said lightly.

With the advice and planning of Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, they were able to successfully block Liu Yu for a year, which was a victory.

"However, there may be problems in Zhuo County, but the impact will not be significant." Huang Zhong nodded.

"Yes, as for taking over our National Defense Army, that's nonsense. Since they said that three million of our National Defense Army were killed, and Your Majesty agrees, then let's turn them all into citizens of the Great Wilderness Territory." Cui Wu said with excitement on his face.

"Oh... Zichen, your suggestion is good and finally reliable." Lin Mu was also very happy when he heard it.

Indeed, since the people of Longting directly determined that the National Protection Army and the National Defense Army had three million deaths without any investigation, then we should just do as they wish and let them be "killed in action" and disappear.

When these people were recruited, they were recruited in all states. Not only were there people from Youzhou, but also from Jizhou, Bingzhou, and even some from Qingzhou.

In addition to recruiting soldiers, Lin Mu also settled their families, so he spent a lot of resources and money. And the person they were loyal to was not Liu Hong and Zhang Rang, not He Jin and Huangfu Song, but him, Lin Mu!

"In this way, all the national defense troops will be transferred to these fifty-eight affiliated territories for military training. Their relatives, if they are willing to evacuate, will be transferred to the islands, Yizhou or Yangzhou."

"At the same time, start a new recruitment plan. The vacancies of the three million National Defense Army must be filled." Lin Mu said in a serious tone.

"My lord, if we start recruiting again, the cost will be huge... Yuanjian has complained before that recruiting too many soldiers at once will consume too much manpower and material resources..." Cui Wu was shocked by Lin Mu's generosity.

Recruiting three million soldiers here is no small matter.

"The cost of recruiting now should not be as high as before. Food is in short supply and there are more refugees." Huang Zhong expressed a different opinion.

"Yes, the recruitment process can take a little longer. When the famine becomes more serious, we only need to spend a little food to recruit soldiers, and maybe they will bring their families with them." Lin Mu nodded.

Now that players have enabled the function of trading with civilians, it is clear how corrupt the people's situation is.

Perhaps because of Lin Mu's series of actions, the Han Dynasty became much richer, and the tragic scene of cannibalism did not happen before. But after the eunuch's actions, there were starving people everywhere, bones were piled up, and cannibalism really happened.

The birth of Hanba not only cut off the roots of the noble families and the players, but also cut off the roots of many ordinary people.

This was also the trick that Liu Hong never used until his death.

"Maybe, this is a correction of the system..." Lin Mu sighed in his heart.

In the previous life, the problem of food was much worse than this life. This was also the reason why Lin Mu kept hoarding food before, but later he found that his series of actions of plundering dragon veins and plundering the outer domains made the Han Dynasty full of spiritual energy and prosperous, and the player's attribute gains were also very large. On the contrary, there was no major food shortage, which caused him to stop hoarding food for a time.

Now, the famine scenario still happened...

"My lord, I think that we are not the only ones who will take advantage of the famine to develop our military strength. Those big families with deep foundations may also take the opportunity to develop their military strength!" Huang Zhong said quietly.

"Those who are ambitious have already secretly developed their military strength, worked hard to govern the country, and have their own troops. This cannot be stopped." Lin Mu chuckled.

"We just need to do our best. First, ensure the safety of the people in Yangzhou and Youzhou. That way, the local big families in Yangzhou and Youzhou won't have the opportunity to cause trouble."

"Liu Yan is doing well in Yizhou, so let him guard it."

"Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Jingzhou, Jizhou, Sili, let them mess around for now and don't worry about it."

"Dong Zhuo and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Bingzhou and Liangzhou are fighting happily, so there is no need to worry about it."

"Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Jiaozhou and Yizhou, these four states are the next focus."

"Yizhou needs to be developed on a large scale and more people should be moved there. We can recruit them from the current famine."

Lin Mu said slowly.

There are many places in the layout of the Great Wilderness Territory, but there are also many places that cannot be taken care of. This is a helpless thing. Even Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai cannot come up with a plan to swallow up all of them. They can only take steady steps and cultivate slowly. In fact, Xun You, who joined later, also disagreed with the plan to control Yangzhou and Youzhou, because the step was too big and it would collapse if you were not careful. Because at that time, Xun You took into account the fact that Liu Yao wanted to be the governor of Yangzhou.

Fortunately, Liu Hong had no time to take care of these things and was very compliant with Lin Mu's wishes, so the worst situation did not occur.

The orthodox Yangzhou Mu will break all previous efforts of the Great Wilderness Territory.

In the new court of Long Ting, Liu Yao continued to request to become the governor of Yangzhou, and his voice was very high, but Empress Dowager He and He Jin did not dare to agree easily.

Because if there are too many governors, your majesty's power will be weakened, especially when the imperial seal is lost, you cannot agree to it easily.

Not only the indigenous people want to share the big cake of governor, but the players also want to share it, with Jiang Chenglong as the main one, and Liu Feng, Zhu Xuan, Xuanyuan Changying, Zhao Qiyin, Ji Beiqin and others as the auxiliary. Today, they are preparing to make a big deal.

After taking a rest, Lin Mu and Huang Zhong rushed to the defense line. While on the way, Lin Mu paid attention to the messages in the chat room in the communication system.

Ten billion destiny coins, one billion gold coins, thirty million red dragon seals, five million elite soldiers, and five governors sworn in loyalty, that's the money to buy.

This is a purchase that brings together the liquidity of most of the top lords in the Huaxia region. This is also an action promoted by the Huaxia region officials using their own influence.

For this purpose, they even asked Lin Mu for a loan. Lin Mu also agreed, but he did not give it directly, but waited to see whether He Jin and the others would agree.

As long as the deal with the governor is successful, he will lend the money to Jiang Chenglong.

"Negotiations are ongoing, ready to get down to business." Jiang Chenglong's message appeared in the chat room.

"Is he talking to He Jin alone? Are there other aides around?" Lin Mu thought for a moment and asked in the chat room.

In fact, he supports players buying state governors, and agreeing to lend money is the biggest support. If Jiang Chenglong really becomes a state governor, the pressure on the Great Wilderness Territory may be much less. He would rather face players than Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Sun Jian and other big names.

It is also good to let them fight with those big guys. However, there is a disadvantage in this situation, that is, the player may be the one who sends money. After the big guys swallow it up, the foundation will increase greatly.

This must be taken into consideration.

However, he is pessimistic about the outcome. Jiang Chenglong's journey to buy an official position will not be so smooth.

"Well... the staff have studied it in detail and will only discuss it with He Jin." Xuanyuan Changying came out to answer.

"Come on!" Ji Beiqin's voice rang out.

In fact, he was very puzzled as to why Lin Mu agreed to help Jiang Chenglong. If a player became a governor of a state, it would be like a fish in water, just like a real dragon meeting wind and rain and taking off.

However, Lin Mu convinced him with one sentence: "You have been governors for so long, why don't you take off in the counties?"

It is true that there are many players who have become prefects, but few can develop as peacefully as in Kuaiji County.

Either they were harassed by the local nobles, or some cities in the county were occupied by foreign races, and they could not defeat them and could only slowly consume them.

Not only that, a group of bandits would occasionally pop up here to cause trouble, and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans would jump out there to invade, making many players' governors miserable.

Their governance is not even as good as Taishi Ci's.

Therefore, the template of Kuaiji County cannot be copied.

Back to the topic, after waiting for a long time, Jiang Chenglong's voice reappeared: "It was the first offer, and He Jin was very tempted, but... Damn, He Jin refused!!!"

"Second offer..."

"Shh... Five million soldiers, even tens of millions of soldiers, actually refused. Doesn't he need troops to contain Zhang Rang? Why isn't he tempted?"

"This guy talks about his noble character. He would never do anything dirty like a eunuch, nor would he do anything that would betray his country. Damn, is he really that noble and good? There is no such thing as a dog that doesn't eat shit!" Jiang Chenglong gradually became irritable.

The others looked at the message and fell silent, but what they were most worried about finally happened.

Afterwards, just as Lin Mu had expected, Jiang Chenglong and He Jin parted ways unhappily, and the trip to buy an official position was temporarily suspended.

If the west is dark, there will be light in the east. After Jiang Chenglong left the General's Mansion, he went to find Zhang Rang.

Unfortunately, even though Zhang Rang was tempted by the idea of ​​buying funds, he still did not agree.

The players actually knew that those in power would not easily agree to this under this situation. But this was the best opportunity, and they wanted to take advantage of the current infighting in the Dragon Court and side with one side in the struggle to take the position of governor.

Later, when Dong Zhuo entered the capital, even if he bought the governorship from him, his influence was far less than it is now and before when Liu Hong was alive. (End of this chapter)
