Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 761 Too Excellent
In this year, Zhang Cang officially retired.

Zhang Buyi took over his third position, while Luan Bu took over his job at Shangshutai.

Zhang Buyi led the servants as the right minister, which caused subtle changes in the order of the three provinces.

Originally speaking, the status of Shangshu must be higher than that of the servant, but Zhang Buyi's right and left are higher, and the status of decision-making is officially higher than that of execution.

Zhang Buyi has fulfilled his lifelong long-cherished wish and became the right chancellor of the great man. Since then, he has never been called Zhang Zuoxiang again. There is only one Zhang Xiang in the big man, and that is me, Zhang Buyi!
Faced with Zhang Buyi's promotion to the right chancellor, most of the officials were dissatisfied. After all, in the eyes of the officials, Zhang Buyi was a villain who had no talent, only knew how to flatter, and followed the emperor all day long. It is a bit ironic that such a person has become the head of a hundred officials.As for Luan Bu, everyone didn't have so much malice, and thought it was a matter of course. After all, Luan Bu had already proved himself in terms of reputation and ability.

When Zhang Buyi walks now, his eyes are all looking at the sky. As the first minister of the big man, he is fully qualified to ignore anyone. In his eyes, these are all traitors !

But Luan Bu is completely different.

He looked a little nervous.

Sitting in the new mansion, Luan Bu was still a little nervous.

Luan Bu moved with his family. The small mansion he used to live did not meet the standards of a prime minister, mainly because he would have to meet many ministers in the future, and there would be soldiers who would be in charge of his safety. In addition to those officials, they must have a large enough mansion, and it must be close to the imperial palace to come to the new residence. This is a huge mansion, with a total of more than 30 rooms inside and outside, and there are special meeting rooms in the front yard. Halls, rockeries, gardens, etc., occupy a huge area, and are close to the palace, and you can go back and forth on foot.

Looking at the soldiers in the distance, Luan Bu felt a little restrained.

These soldiers are busy moving things. From now on, these soldiers will follow Luan Bu's side to protect him. In the big man, only when he reaches the level of Sangong can he have a guard of soldiers and legally hide his armor. Apart from the soldiers, there are also quite a few subordinate officials. These people are moving in and out of documents, and the mansion has become extremely lively.

Luan Bu's wife stood not far away with a smile, looking at the people in front of her with indescribable excitement on her face.

She is genuinely proud of her husband's achievements.

Luan Bu's eldest son, Luan Ping, and second son, Luan Ben, were sitting not far away, watching these curiously.

Luan Ping was grinning at the moment, looking at all this proudly. He never thought that when he woke up, his father would become the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. He is a lord of ten thousand households. From now on, he can speak louder in military science .

And this son, Luan Ben, was still young, he just bit his hand, looked at these people walking around curiously, and asked, "Brother, why did they break into our house?"

"It's here to protect Father."

"Why do you want to protect Father?"

"Because my father is the Prime Minister of the country now."

"Why is he Prime Minister?"

Luan Ping pursed his lips, took out some food from his sleeve, and stuffed it directly into his brother's mouth.

Luan Bu's father-in-law Lu Gong was probably the most disturbed. Lu Gong was sitting beside Luan Bu at the moment, secretly looking at his son-in-law and those people in the distance. Thinking that I can have a son-in-law who is the prime minister, if I said that I wanted to marry my daughter to the prime minister when I was in Zhao country, wouldn't those people think they were crazy? ?However, this made the old ranger more restrained.

At first, he felt uneasy when he was around Luan Bu, but now he has turned into a big man again.

Luan Bu took a deep breath and just looked straight ahead.

Luan Bu's wife saw the entanglement in Luan Bu's heart, and said to Father: "You take the children back to rest. There will be a servant who will come to take care of the daily life later."

After they all left, Luan Bu's wife sat beside Luan Bu and gently held his hand.

"My beloved, these few days, you can't eat, you can't sleep well at night, and you are moaning and sighing all day long. What is the reason? Why can't you tell me what happened?"

Luan Bu frowned, "I'm just a little worried."

"Shang Shutai wants to be in charge of the world's government affairs, how can I compare with Zhang Xiang? I'm afraid that the big event will be delayed."

Luan Bu was under great pressure at the moment. Perhaps at this moment, Luan Bu realized how Zhou Chang felt back then. Before Zhou Chang, Chen Ping, Cao Can, Xiao He and others were the prime ministers. Everyone will definitely feel the pressure like a mountain, and they are afraid that they will not be as good as their predecessors, and this is especially true here for Luan Bu. He looked forward and saw Zhang Cang.Although this person has some minor problems with his personal style, in terms of talent and credit, it is really disappointing.

Luan Bu looked up, only to see a high mountain named Zhang Cang, which was unattainable.

Luan Bu is not a villain, and he will not want to achieve greater political achievements than Zhang Cang, nor will he be jealous of Zhang Cang. He is just afraid at the moment that he cannot bear such a heavy responsibility.

"My dear, your majesty is convinced of your talent, why do you feel that you are not enough?"

"I have followed His Majesty for many years, and I am well aware of His Majesty's great ambitions. It is because His Majesty values ​​me so much that I am worried that it will delay his great event."

Luan Bu's wife said with a smile: "When I was your wife, I was very worried that I was not good enough for you. I know that you are a virtuous person, and I think that I am not good enough to serve you. Afterwards, I often asked those virtuous people how to serve their beloved and make the family well-organized. The queen is such a person. She often told me how to manage the family. After being with you for so long, the affairs of this family, Fortunately, it didn't make you worry. There are more virtuous people around you now, if you don't understand something, you can ask them for advice, what else do you have to worry about?"

Luan Bu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly, "That's the only way to go."

"Prepare something for me, I'm going to visit the Marquis of Peking."

When Luan Bu came to Zhang Cang's mansion with gifts, Zhang Cang was not idle, he had guests at home.

Zhang Cang's son led Luan Bu into the study.

Zhang Cang looked much more comfortable. He was wearing comfortable clothes with his collar half open, and he was leaning leisurely on the pillow. The food and the fine wine of the tribute.

Liu Heng sat in front of him, looking extremely serious.

After Luan Bu paid his respects to the two, he carefully sat beside Liu Heng.

Zhang Cang didn't seem surprised at his arrival. He smiled and said, "You're finally here. I've been waiting for you these days. How does it feel to be the Prime Minister?"

Luan Bu hurriedly replied, "Extremely worried."

"What are you worried about? Actually, it's not as difficult as you think. You can definitely do it well."

Zhang Cang said casually, then looked at Liu Heng, and said with a smile: "Look, someone who can discuss important matters with you is here. Let me finish what I need to say today, and let me rest in peace later on. How is it?"

Liu Heng nodded, looked at the bewildered Luan Bu, and explained: "Mr. Luan, I came to Beipinghou this time for the matter of Jiuqing. Beipinghou completed half of this matter. So I dropped the burden and quit. I can't take it, and I don't have the ability."

Luan Bu suddenly realized.

Zhang Cang did half of the work, and suddenly handed it over to others, so there is really no way for others to take over, unless it is re-drafted.

Zhang Cang took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then said slowly, "Listen, both of you, Your Majesty told me about these things before. For Jiuqing, the biggest change is the change of Jiuqing. There are nine departments, both of which belong to the Shangshu. Luan Bu once served as the internal historian of Zhisu, and later had to be renamed the Ministry of Agriculture. The Ministry of Rites, with Dianke as the external, established the Ministry of Industry with the combination of Shangfang and Sikong, and added the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials."

"In this way, Jiubuqing is set up to replace the original Jiuqing, and many functions and powers under the command of Jiuqing have also been initially changed. I will tell you in detail about this. Jurisdiction, such as the Ministry of Rites set up the newspaper Di Cao, the county learns Cao, and the Tai learns Cao"

Zhang Cang took out a few sheets of paper from under the case, and pointed out all his thoughts to the two of them.

"What we have to do is to have a clear division of labor, no confusion of powers, reduce the number of officials, enhance their efficiency, and not support idlers. Among them, we must pay attention to."

Liu Heng and Luan Bu listened seriously.

When Zhang Cang first talked about the idea, it was a little simple, but once he extended it later, it suddenly became complicated. Different subordinate officials, different powers, the number of subordinate officials, and their grades, Zhang Cang did not even pause. , Opened their mouths to give a comment, Liu Heng and Luan Bu just listened to him, they both felt that they could not keep up, and it was difficult to advance with him at the same time, so they had to interrupt him to ask the meaning of the previous sentence.

Zhang Cang quickly finished all his thoughts, and then handed these documents to Liu Heng, and took out a book from the case, and handed it to Luan Bu.

"This is the experience I have compiled for many years. Take it and have a look. Even if it can't help you too much, it can help you through this period of time. If there is anything you don't understand, please write to me." !"

After Zhang Cang finished speaking, he leaned back and made a tired look.

This is obviously to drive away.

Liu Heng got up, took those documents, and said goodbye respectfully. Luan Bu also held the book in a daze, and followed Liu Heng out of his mansion without even putting down the gift.

After walking out, Luan Bu realized that he didn't even have time to present his gift.

Liu Heng shook his head and said helplessly, "Master Zhang probably doesn't want to see us anymore."

"This matter can only be handled by us, what Zhang Xiang said just now, what do you think?"

Luan Bu recalled it for a while, and just nodded, "I think it's fine."

"Need a change?"

"This"

Seeing that Luan Bu didn't dare to answer, Liu Heng became serious, "Mr. Luan, now you are the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, you must pay attention to these matters, and you must not take them lightly."

"I'll trouble you to send someone to copy it and send it to me. I'll see if there is any room for improvement."

"good!"

The two were about to say goodbye, but Liu Heng remembered something, stopped Luan Bu, and said, "Mr. Luan, there is one more thing. Wo County has written many times, bluntly saying that there are not enough officials to manage the local area, and I am not qualified to appoint Official, please contact the Secretary of the Ministry of Officials quickly to implement this matter!"

"Wajun??"

The Han Dynasty set up a county on Wa Island, and the Pingwa General Fan Kang served as the county guard here.

Fan Kang has governed here for a long time, and it can be regarded as developing to a certain extent the direction of Wa Island close to Yan State.

There are already roads, cities and villages here, but the number of Han people here is very small, basically no one is willing to come here to live, except for some criminals who were thrown here, and some businessmen from the state of Wu came here. Here, the Wu people are very courageous. They want to sail north along Wa Island to see if there is any harvest there.

Let’s just talk about General Fan’s City. There are more than [-] people living in this city. If the soldiers stationed there are not included, the number of Han people is only a little over [-].

This is simply not as good as poison.

It can be said that Mrs. Fan is very worried about the local affairs.

In fact, there is land suitable for farming, as well as various minerals, and the human resources are not too low. There are quite a lot of people on this island, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in the northwest alone.

Fan Kang managed this place more and more like an enlightened place, but the problem is that the process of enlightenment is far away.

When the big man opened up a new territory, the most important thing was not the local resources, but the education of the local people.

Enlightenment is considered the first-class credit in the Han Dynasty. Yan Guo has been crazily enlightening those Hu people in the territory for these years, and the results are very good. Even the peninsula has begun to speak Yan language. There is no difference.The king of Yan was also often proud of his behavior of turning Hu into Xia, including those scholars, who also pursued this kind of enlightenment, and believed that it was the highest honor for the local people to understand the principles of saints and let them "enter civilization".

Fan Kang fell short in this point, he was really unable to teach.

It's not that the locals are disobedient, the main reason is that there are too few Han people here, and if you want to educate, you need someone, such as opening marriages, county schools, etc., but these policies cannot be carried out in Wo County. Those criminals come here, Maybe they brought them into barbarians, after all, there are too many barbarians.

Mrs. Fan frowned, her eyes full of worry.

His lieutenant is obviously better than him.

He persuaded: "General, why do you worry about this? During these days, we have built many cities, opened roads, and dug a lot of resources, which have been continuously sent to the Central Plains. Our contribution is already great. There is no need to say anything about enlightenment."

"You know what a fart! If you don't educate him and just build city roads here, it's okay now. Once something happens in the Central Plains, don't these all become enemies? All the efforts of the big man belong to these fools. Only when the people are owned can they become the people of the big man, so that they can develop here with peace of mind! Besides, what kind of resources can compare with people? Talent is the most precious resource. Do you know how short the big man is? If you can make the big man gain hundreds of thousands of people, this credit will be greater than your ten years of digging mines here!"

Mrs. Fan looked a little irritable, and she hurled insults at the lieutenant general.

The deputy general was also speechless, just scratching his head, "How to educate here, their number is several times that of ours, and there is no one who wants to come here, let alone settle here, big man There is a shortage of people everywhere, and the country of Yan is also short of people. Criminals are sent to the peninsula and other places, and they will never be sent to us. There is also a shortage of people in the south, and even more so in the northwest. If the soldiers don't go to war, can they be at ease to educate those barbarians?"

Fan Kang was taken aback for a moment, then stroked his chin.

"Don't say that it makes sense to let the soldiers educate you."

"Ah?? General, how do we soldiers know how to teach?"

"I just don't know how to write, but I can always speak! Besides, which of those officers doesn't know how to read?"

"Our soldiers here are replaced every two years. Think about it, if we expand the garrison here and let them go to various places, each person will be in charge of ten barbarians, and let them teach the language and customs of the great man."

"General, can this work??"

"Then what should we do? It's better than doing nothing, right? The Hu people here are more than ten times the Han people, how else can you educate them?"

The deputy general muttered: "If you think there are too many people, you might as well give them all to Yan Guo, Yan Guo will definitely like it very much."

Fan Kang was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly asked, "What did you say?!"

"General, I didn't say anything!!"

"It makes sense to send it to the country of Yan!!"

Mrs. Fan stood up abruptly, "If you can reduce the number of Hu people on the island and divide them up, what if I exchange these Hu people with Yan Guo for other Hu people?"

"Ah? General, why are you doing this?"

"Division, this is good for us and the country of Yan. There are also a lot of Hu people in the country of Yan, and it is difficult to educate them. If we can exchange a group of people and disrupt their distribution, and the Hu and Han live together, it will speed up the process. Is the speed of enlightenment?"

The lieutenant-general was dumbfounded by this, "For such a big matter, the general had better ask Gao Xian of the temple, don't be impulsive, it costs a lot, just for changing people, I'm afraid it's not worth it."

"Temple? The temple will only be active when it sends people to receive things. The rest of the time, it ignores my letter and ignores us. For this matter, we should discuss it with King Yan first, and then let King Yan come to write to you. I don’t know, Your Majesty has a deep prejudice against Xia Houzao and me. Once I submit a letter to him, no matter how correct it is, he will reject it. Let the princes and kings submit the letter, and the possibility of passing it will be greater!! "

"Ah? Why is Your Majesty prejudiced against you? I heard that you grew up with Your Majesty."

"That's because I'm so good!"
