Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 878 The Political Struggle Will Not End

Lan Tian didn't know what Zhang Zhao's intention was, because he was doing those things in Jiaozhou, basically digging the foundation of the aristocratic family, but he didn't expect the French counselor to propose it on his own initiative.

"After all, I'm still a newcomer. Whether to copy Jiaozhou's old model or not needs to be weighed before making a decision. The situation in the two states is very different. It is estimated that the stability of governance will be the main thing. Mr. Zibu can rest assured." Lan Tian was ambiguous. answer.

Zhang Zhaoshu was slightly taken aback, then lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Jiaozhou was originally barren and exhausted, and the government has become so rich after several years of operation. I think you formulated those policies, which should be the way to make the country rich and the people strong. Now Jiangdong is just waiting for a thousand wastes. When it is prosperous, even if it is all copied, it is all right, the people of Yangzhou will definitely applaud, and the veterans will also give their full support."

"Uh, very good, I will think about it carefully." After hearing this, Lan Tian was very surprised. As a veteran nobleman, Zhang Zhao could say such a thing. What is his purpose?Lan Tian still responded ambiguously. This kind of answer does not hurt others and leaves room for himself. It is often used in officialdom.

Seeing that Lan Tian didn't give a positive answer, Zhang Zhao wasn't disappointed either, and asked about Lan Tian's private affairs: "Your Majesty came to Yangzhou to serve as the state shepherd. I don't think he will be transferred to another place in a short time. I wonder if you want to move your family here? Zhao will make people happy tomorrow." Prepare the official residence, Sun Quan's family is still controlled in the palace, so it is inconvenient to vacate."

"You don't need to make special preparations, let alone vacate the Wu Palace. I don't know how to live there. Besides, Zhuo Jing is used to the climate in Guangzhou. I probably won't be able to adapt to Jianye. I won't pick her up for the time being. Thanks to the kindness of Mr. Zibu. I understand." Lan Tian nodded lightly, thinking about the logistics, where do you need to worry about it?I'm afraid Liu Bei will think too much about moving into the Wu Palace.

"So that's how it is." Zhang Zhao seemed to have suddenly realized, and then his face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Since the government lord besieged Lu Ziheng's main force and General Yu Zecheng took control of Jianye, the old minister knew that Jiangdong was bound to change hands. Wu Commandery still has some heritage. Counties such as Kuaiji and Danyang have already taken time out of their troops. Not only did he lose the central construction industry, but he also defeated the Yangtze River. It would be very difficult to recruit soldiers and horses to fight against it. How to quickly stabilize the situation is the most urgent thing right now."

"Zibu has a trick to teach me?" Lan Tian looked at the other party expectantly.

Zhang Zhaoshu nodded, "The situation in Jiangdong is very complicated. In the past, Sun Bofu used force to pacify this place, but was assassinated and seriously injured and died in the end. The reason why young Sun Quan was able to gain a foothold quickly was mainly through marriage. Although the officials of the industry returned with the old man, but after all, they were easily panicked at first, so why don't you follow Sun Zhongmou's example?"

Lan Tian was taken aback when he heard that, and thought to himself, you dog-headed military adviser, what kind of bullshit strategy are you offering?The general's eldest son is a son-in-law, his second son is engaged to Guan Yinping, and the youngest daughter is less than ten years old. Do you want them to marry?
"My sons are not very old. The eldest son Boyang is a son-in-law, and the second son Zhongling has a marriage contract with General Guan's beloved daughter. It is not convenient for them to take concubines now. Even if they want to marry, His Majesty should make the decision. What does Zibu mean?" Lan Tian asked meaningfully.

Zhang Zhao nodded in agreement: "I think the two sons are heroes. Even if they have noble wives, it is not too much to have a few more concubines. Your Majesty and General Guan will never stop them. Xiao, why don't you accept a few rooms to relieve loneliness? Anyway, the emperor is an official in Yangzhou alone. In the past, Sun Quan married Yuan Shu's daughter, allowing the Sun family to completely inherit the Yuan family's political legacy. The situation is very similar now. There are quite a few female relatives, why don't you follow suit?"

"Ah? No, no, no, how to deal with Mrs. Sun, I have to submit to His Majesty's order." Lan Tian quickly declined politely.

Lan Tian said in his heart that if I really had my heart, I would probably be the first to collect Er Qiao, because the status of the two daughters is hindered, and they should be widowed and unable to remarry, especially Da Qiao is the most pitiful. Sun Ce was still fighting all over the place, and the two probably didn't see each other a few times. Er Qiao is now in his 30s, which is Cao's favorite age.

"If the Lord Fu thinks that the Sun family is in the way, and there are young girls from other aristocratic families, Zhao can also match the Lord. I believe there are many people who want to serve you." Zhang Zhao continued to add.

"Gentle Township, Tomb of Heroes. It's not decided today, how can I just want to enjoy it? Please don't say anything about concubines and marriages." Lan Tian very solemnly refused, thinking how did the old man become a pimp?You shouldn't have prepared the daughter of some family earlier, right?
There was a sense of deterrence in Lan Tian's words, and Zhang Zhao quickly changed the subject after hearing this: "Your Majesty has great ambitions, it's the old minister who is being abrupt."

"Zibu also expressed kindness. It's getting late now. Do you think you should stay in the camp to rest, or have someone send you back to Jianye?" Lan Tian was worried that Zhang Zhao would continue to talk nonsense, so he directed the other two choose.

"Uh, the old minister is at the camp. I will lead the horse for you when I enter the city tomorrow." Zhang Zhao smiled and retreated, and ran into Lan Yuan at the door.

Lan Yuan and Lan Tian looked at each other and smiled. It seemed that he had been guarding outside all the time. He must have listened to the French counselor's ingenious plan and thought that it was feasible to use beauty tricks on others. His father's willpower was simply terrifying. Maybe his mother's deterrent power was too strong?

After sending Zhang Zhao away, Lan Tian seriously thought about Zhang Zhao's words tonight. A shrewd old ghost at this age would have a purpose in every sentence. He focused on thinking about the Jiaozhou system and wanted to explore what Zhang Zhao wanted to express.

About half an hour later, Lan Tian was about to pack up and go to bed, when Lan Yuan suddenly poked his head into the tent: "Father, Jianye has a visitor, are you still there?"

"Bring it in." Lan Tian was full of suspicion, thinking that Zhang Zhao was not the representative?Why are there still people coming to 'Explore the Path'?
"Wei." Lan Yuan said and brought in an old man and a young man.

After self-introduction, Lan Tian knew that it was Gu Yong and Zhang Wen. The three chatted for a while, and the other party finally expressed his intention. The situation to Jiangdong is more complicated, it is recommended to use it differently.

After communicating with Gu Yong and Zhang Wen, Lan Tian remembered what Zhang Zhao had said to him before, and immediately understood what they wanted to do. Zhang Zhao wanted to take advantage of the regime change to expand the interests of the Huaisi faction through Lan Tian's reforms, while Jiang Dong The gentry implicitly expressed that they wanted to continue as before.

Because of Hu Ke's relationship, Lan Tian showed great enthusiasm for Zhang Wen, and promised not to overly change the status quo in Jiangdong, at least not to suppress the Jiangdong gentry. After communicating with the two factions for the first time, Lan Tian has roughly decided how to reconcile the two factions. Contradictory, thinking that he can't be the next Sun Quan.

Gu Yong and Zhang Wen got a satisfactory answer, and then they returned to Jianye overnight, preparing to welcome Master Wang into the city tomorrow, and Lantian could finally sleep peacefully.

The sound of the waves outside the tent was still there, Lan Tian was sleeping soundly in the noisy environment, and at Jiangcheng Port in the northeast, the defeated Jiangdong soldiers were depressed.

Sun Quan was drinking on the big boat, but after thinking about it, he felt that Jiangcheng was not safe, and Gan Ning would not be able to stop Gan Ning from coming again tomorrow, so he called Sun Shao to prepare to go to Dantu overnight.

Just as Sun Shao left, Sun Quan saw the jug on the table, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he took out a small clay bottle from his arms, poured a small pill into the jug, and then shook it like a small boat.
