Chapter 469 Establishing Minghou Mansion

Nanxiang County.

Entering the autumn season in September, the sultry atmosphere of summer has passed, and the sky is clear and the leaves are colorful everywhere.

The county government mansion.

This place has been requisitioned by Mujing as his foothold in Nanyang, guarded by the guards inside and defended by the Jingping army outside, it is as solid as gold.

In the lobby, the civil servants and military generals of the Mu Clan sat in a row. Several days of meetings, military meetings, and government affairs meetings made everyone feel exhausted.

And Mu Jing wore a long robe, knelt on the upper seat, flipped through the bamboo slips in his hand, and his expression was not very good. He was glad that he could not get out of Guanzhong, but the long journey had just begun, and there were too many things for him. I can't leave.

"Oh, this word gets uglier the more you look at it!"

Mujing was used to the square and neat fonts on the paper, but it was very difficult to read these irregular fonts written on the bamboo slips.

Although Mujing established a printing factory, improved papermaking, and invented movable type printing, his influence was limited to Luoyang and Guanzhong. It would take time for one thing to change the world.

For now, using bamboo slips to write and record dossiers is still the mainstream in the whole world. The writing of paper books is popularized in Nanyang, but that is for Wancheng, and the west of Nanyang is connected to the mountains of Hanzhong. Land, everything is backward here.

"Huo Yu." Mu Jing couldn't bear it anymore, and threw the bamboo slips in his hand to the front.

"Here!" This clerk who came out from Nanyang and has been following Mujing has been in poor health since he blocked Mujing's sword in the past. After being recuperated by Zhang Ning, he has recovered. He is recording Mujing. He was sorting out some files, and when he heard Mu Jing's call, he hurriedly put his hands on standby.

"You can go and build a printing workshop. These bamboo slips are irregular and general, and the efficiency is too low to transmit and record orders and messages. This situation must be changed as soon as possible." Mu Jing said.

The change starts with me. If he wants to change this backwardness, he has to take action step by step, starting with papermaking.

"Yes!"

Huo Yu nodded and accepted the order, but after thinking about it, he looked a little embarrassed: "My lord, it's actually not difficult to build a workshop, but we probably can't find a familiar craftsman who makes paper now. Although papermaking is not difficult, there is no familiar craftsman." , it will take at least a year and a half to cultivate, which is too time-consuming."

"I remember that there was a workshop in Wancheng. Back then, Luoyang's printing workshop was taken away. In order to ensure the operation of Jingping's study, I evacuated many craftsmen from the printing workshop and established a printing workshop in Nanyang. The matter has been handed over to Jingping Commercial Bank to manage, you can contact Zhang Heng, Sun Hao and the others to see if you can bring these craftsmen back without anyone noticing."

Mu Jing thought about it for a while, and then said: "The action must be quick, before Yuan Shu reacts. I have worked so hard to get these craftsmen out of Luoyang, so I can't just give them to him at a low price. Jing Wusi has a team in Nanyang. It’s a big foundation, you leave things to them to execute, and you take control of them yourself.”

There is a broken bone between him and Jingping Trading Company. Even if he is no longer the big shopkeeper of Jingping Trading Company, this kind of incense is still there. He believes that as long as he speaks, Zhang Heng, Sun Hao and the others will find a way to let the craftsmen of this workshop Appeared in Nanxiang.

"Okay, I'll do it now!" Huo Yu nodded, saluted, got up and left.

"Everyone, there are nearly 30 people in the six counties in the west of Nanyang. Although they are under my command now, if the name is not correct, the words will not go well. What name should I use to appease them?"

Mu Jing closed the bamboo slips in his hand, his eyes swept away, and he looked at the servants and generals under his command and asked.

If he wants to gain a foothold, he needs to have a reputation and declare it to the world before he can enjoy his fame. Now he lacks a reputation to gain a foothold.

"My lord, you can lead Nanyang prefect by yourself." Hu Zhao looked a little tired. They first came to report, and they had to be familiar with them if they wanted to take root. In the county, he has forgotten to eat and sleep for several days.

"Nanyang prefect?" Mu Jing shook his head when he heard the words: "First, who is in charge of Nanyang County now? People in the world have eyes to see. I just occupy a corner of the land. It would be a joke if I appointed myself the prefect."

He paused, and continued: "As for the second, we have to look farther away. Now we are indeed bereaved dogs, but it may not be the case in the future. The prefect of Nanyang is limited to Nanyang, so it is difficult to achieve great things."

If he announces that the world will lead the Nanyang prefect, let's not talk about whether his official position can be recognized by the world, but just say that if he leads the army into Hanzhong in the future, how should he gain a foothold in Hanzhong? , but entered Hanzhong, it was embarrassing at that time, and it was untenable in name.

"It's my lack of consideration."

Hu Zhao quickly rubbed the bridge of his nose, and said with a wry smile.

He has been very busy recently, and his vision is not as grand as before, but a bit short-sighted. The position of Nanyang prefect can solve the current predicament, but it is full of harm to the future.

"The Marquis of Ming is the first-class Marquis of the imperial court, and the third division of Kaifu Yitong."

Everyone was silent for a long time, unable to think of any better countermeasures. Finally, Cai Yong, who was familiar with all the rules of the court, came up with a trick: "Although the opening of a mansion has always required the express permission of the imperial court, but..."

He sighed and shook his head: "In today's imperial court, the emperor is not the emperor, the ministers are not the ministers, the holy will does not go out of Guanzhong, there is no ruler in the world, and the opening of the mansion can be decided by oneself. Mu Yuanzhong can open the mansion, although It is the Xiangguo Mansion, but the concept can be changed, you inherit the title of Marquis of Ming Dynasty, and the mansion is self-governing, and the people in the world will not be able to tell your fault."

"Opening a mansion? That's a good idea!"

When Mu Jing heard this, a bright light flashed in his eyes.

Opening a mansion, assigning outstanding conscripts to the subordinates, claiming to be a system, in the era of peace and prosperity, it is equivalent to recruiting soldiers and buying horses with the imperial decree, and establishing an operating department by itself, but there are many restrictions, such as the number of domestic soldiers can not exceed a bottom line, and All soldiers and horses have to be registered in the imperial court, and relatively speaking, they have much less power.

But in today's troubled times, that is blatant self-reliance and self-government, just like a prince who establishes himself as a king.

Hu Zhao was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly cupped his hands, and said to Mu Jing, "My lord, now is the right time to open the mansion, which can lay the foundation for our future."

As soon as he said this, the hall was silent, everyone was silent, they just stared at Mujing with wide eyes, with expectant eyes, complicated eyes, and struggling eyes...

Hu Zhao has even stated the foundation of the future, which is no different from directly saying that he will become a king on his own. Once Mu Jing is accepted, he will erect the banner of striving for world hegemony internally.

After all, it is the era of the Han Dynasty, and the 400-year influence of the Han Dynasty still exists. Even the generals who are dedicated to Mujing finally feel a little complicated.

But he didn't speak, he could wait for Mujing's decision.

Mu Jing's face was expressionless, and he spoke after a long time: "My father is not a good man. He turned against the court and was a bandit. When we came out from Nanyang, we didn't think too much about it. Life has forced us all these years, and the court has nothing to do with it." Too much loyalty, but since my father took over the government, my Mu family has never done anything wrong to the Han Dynasty. People all over the world say that my father messed up the government and caused chaos in the world, but the Han Dynasty has not fallen overnight. Is it because my father is not in charge of the court, they will not fight? In my opinion, no matter who is sitting in my father's place, give them an excuse, this battle will always be fought, and this battle will be fought. If we don’t want to fight, we can totally learn from the current Dong Zhuo and kidnap the emperor to go to Chang’an. As long as we give up Luoyang, I believe that no one is willing to fight with my hundreds of thousands of herdsmen. It’s just that my father can’t let go. No matter what the reason is, he is protecting the emperor. The orthodox position of the Son of Heaven, protecting the capital of the emperor, so I fought this battle and lost in the end. I have nothing to say. It is meaningless to go right and wrong to this point. I just want to tell you all that I am against the Han Dynasty. I have done my best, and now I should think about myself and the future of all of us, and I should give an explanation to all those who are willing to live and die under my Mu clan!"

He stood up slowly, his eyes were as bright as black jade, and a powerful aura rose slowly: "Prince and general, would you rather be kind?"
