Chapter 611 Darkness Chen Cang
Liu Xie nodded, then turned to look at the three of Jia Xu.

The three veterans had different expressions.

Jia Xu said: "Wang Yi's statement has some truths. Liangzhou is too big for a governor to manage, not even a capable person."

With Jia Xu's support, Wang Yi's confidence increased greatly. He licked his lips and said, "Instead of setting up a governor, it is better not to have one. Let the court choose a prefect to govern the counties. With the size of Liangzhou, a county is as big as it is." Kanto Prefecture is about the same size. According to the history books, the history of assassination is not an ancient system, but it changes with the times. If it is beneficial, it will be put in place, if it is unfavorable, it will be abolished, so there is no need to follow the old ways. Your Majesty, please forgive me for my nonsense and inappropriateness."

Liu Xie waved his hands to signal Wang Yi to take his seat, clapped his hands, and said with a smile, "Masters, Wang Yi's words are innovative. Not to mention whether there is a governor of Liangzhou or not, it changes from time to time, so you don't have to follow the old way of thinking. Appreciated. The speaker is not guilty, you don’t have to worry about it, just speak freely, and I will choose the good one and use it.”

Receiving the emperor's personal praise, Wang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time was a little excited.

Cai Yan and Ma Yunlu gave her a thumbs up to express their congratulations.

Everyone also cast envious eyes and started discussing in low voices.

Jia Xu coughed. "Your Majesty, I also have a few words."

Everyone regained their calm and looked at Jia Xu.

Liu Xie said, "But it doesn't matter."

"I think that Liangzhou is very big, and it is really difficult to take care of a governor. But without a governor, I am afraid that it will not work if the counties report directly to the court. The four counties in Hexi, in particular, are important commercial routes leading to the Western Regions and are related to the Central Plains. The important task of doing business with the Western Regions must be taken seriously. Your Majesty can still take care of it when you are in Jincheng, but once you return to Guanzhong, or even Luoyang, the four Hexi counties will inevitably be out of reach."

Many people's eyes lit up and they immediately nodded in agreement.

Liu Xie also felt reasonable.

Doing business with the Western Regions is not only as simple as doing business to make money, but also a window for the big man to see the world with his eyes open.The stability of the four counties in Hexi is very important and cannot be left alone.If the county reports directly to the imperial court, the lag is too serious and the efficiency cannot be guaranteed.

"The minister suggested that Liangzhou be divided into three states. The four counties of Hexi became one state, Beidi and Anding became one state, and Hanyang, Longxi, Jincheng, and Wudu became one state, each with a governor. After two great victories, hundreds of thousands of Xianbei descendants settled in Beidi, Anding, Wuwei and other places. The minister believes that these counties should be re-planned and set up for easy management. The county and county governments that were previously moved to Senei should all be moved back now."

Jia Xu asked someone to find a map, hung it up, and pointed to the map to explain one by one.

Everyone agreed.

After the two great victories, the remnants of the Xianbei fled, the northern border was stable, and the population increased significantly. It is indeed time to readjust the plan.

Liu Xie listened to Jia Xu's explanation, but he had other ideas in his heart.

Jia Xu probably had this idea a long time ago, but he never found a suitable opportunity to propose it.Taking advantage of Wang Yi's radical point of view this time, it is a manifestation of his good grasp of opportunities.

With Wang Yi's point of view in front, no one would find Jia Xu's idea unacceptable, only that the old minister was reliable.Young people, especially young women, simply cannot be listened to.

But Jia Xu's real intention is not just to facilitate management.

According to his plan to re-plan, Liangzhou is divided into three states, and all counties except the existing four counties in Hexi will become inner counties, and the four counties in Hexi will also receive special attention due to business reasons. Lian and Maocai will have an advantage.

Not to mention, one prefecture has become three prefectures, and the number of maocai who originally had only one quota per year has now become three. In terms of the population of Liangzhou, this ratio will be several times higher than that of Shandong prefecture.

From this point of view, Wang Yi's proposal not to set up a state governor is actually not in the interests of Liangzhou people.

In addition, the transformation of one state into three states can also circumvent the three mutual laws, and the ban on Liangzhou people not being allowed to serve as the governor of Liangzhou can be successfully bypassed. Liangzhou people have the possibility to dominate the fate of Liangzhou.

In the same way, the addition of counties will inevitably increase the number of Ju Xiaolian.The newly attached Xianbei people are counted as population, but there is almost no possibility of being promoted as Xiaolian. These quotas will be divided among the aborigines.

If this suggestion is accepted, Liangzhou will get more opportunities in a short period of time without the extra attention of the court, and more young people will flood into the court.

Liu Xie glanced at Zhou Zhong quietly, and saw Zhou Zhong's slightly frowning brows as expected.

"Zhou Qing, what's your opinion, you might as well speak up."

Zhou Zhong looked a little hesitant, looked up at Liu Xie, and then lowered his head again.He was silent for a moment, then said: "The minister seconded the proposal."

It was not difficult for Liu Xie to understand Zhou Zhong's reaction, but he didn't ask, and looked at other people.

After some discussion, most people agreed with Jia Xu's suggestion, for different reasons.

Liu Xie ordered someone to record it, and asked everyone to continue the discussion after the meeting, and then focus on the discussion again at the next court meeting.

It is not a trivial matter to change the scope of the state, and it is necessary to notify the San Gong and Jiu Qing.

The selection of the governor of Liangzhou was temporarily put on hold, and the matter of the Eastern Expedition was brought up for discussion.

Compared with the differences on the previous topic, there is almost no opposition to this topic, and almost everyone agrees with the emperor's personal conquest.

This may be the last battle, and no one wants to stay out of it and watch Han Sui and others make contributions.

Zhou Zhong immediately raised a question: Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao is not suitable to serve as the forward of the army, especially not suitable to be the main force to reinforce Pengcheng. The court should transfer him from the front line or appoint him to another position.

As soon as Zhou Zhong's words came out, Cao Ang's face flushed red, he was numb and felt ashamed.

Xia Houchong couldn't hold back and stepped forward. "According to Duke Zhou, wouldn't the Liangzhou army be the main force in the Eastern Expedition? They burned Luoyang, looted Yingchuan, and cooked Yingchuan prefect Li Min, which was much more tragic than Yanzhou Mu's killing in Pengcheng."

Zhou Zhong folded his hands in his sleeves and remained silent.

Xia Houchong's words aroused the dissatisfaction of Liangzhou people, and someone immediately stood up to refute.Since the Battle of Huayin, Liangzhou people have followed the emperor to fight and accepted the emperor's teachings. They are no longer the former Liangzhou army.

Some people even said, if the Liangzhou army can't be the main force, who else?

Xia Houchong saw it and knew that he had offended everyone, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he retreated obediently.

But the debate didn't stop there. Everyone was aware of one problem: Liangzhou Army's eastward expedition would inevitably face a question of justice, even if it was the Son of Heaven's own conquest.

The atrocities committed by the Liangzhou army will cause endless troubles, and may even affect the legitimacy of the imperial court. In the future, it is inevitable that some people will compare them to the tiger and wolf division that Qin unified the world.The main force of the Qin people is still the Guanzhong people, who have been strongly opposed by the Shandong people. How can the Liangzhou people be an exception?
Hundreds of years of hostility and exclusion can be reversed by one or two years of enlightenment.

If anyone failed to restrain his subordinates during the Eastern Expedition, it would be almost inevitable that innocent people would be killed indiscriminately again.At that time, who still believes that the Liangzhou army is the king's army, and who still believes that the teachings of the emperor are useful?
Looking at the silent crowd, Liu Xie felt like a big stone was pressing down on his heart.

The pace of the Eastern Expedition has not yet been taken, but the test has already appeared.

He set his sights on Liu Ye and Lu Su.
