Chapter 188 Zhengdan Conference, Liu Chan is in charge!
Hefei city.

Zhang Liao exhaled slowly.

He was covered in blood, and his chest heaved even more violently after a day of fierce fighting, but although his body was tired, he was in good spirits.

"Repair the city, collect siege equipment, resettle the wounded, and report the number of casualties"

Although Hefei is now an isolated city, under Zhang Liao's management, it is like an iron bucket.

The defenders showed no fear on their faces, and the entire army, like a sophisticated machine, was running quickly again.

after all
Before Sun Zhongmou sent [-] troops, his own general was able to defeat it with [-] elite soldiers. Now that it is not easy to attack the city in the cold winter, the Jiangdong rats want to take down Hefei City?

It's not that easy!
What are they afraid of?
The military heart in the city is available, and Zhang Wenyuan is very happy.

But after he arrived at the General's Mansion in the city, his complexion did not look so good.

Not long ago, Li Dian fell ill and died in the city, and now he has even fewer people under his command.

Only the three generals Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng are considered to be on the stage.

After all, they all followed Wen Hou Lu Bu together back then.

"Hey~"

Zhang Liao let out a long sigh, and in front of him, Song Xian, a burly general who was about the same age as Zhang Liao, said, "Why is the general sighing so long?"

"The king passed away, and the messenger went to Xudu for a month, but there was no news. The food and grass supplied by the Qingxu land had been cut off last month. The rumors of the turmoil in the Qingxu land must be true. , I don’t even know who the new king of Wei is.”

Zhang Liao was guarding Hefei, so he naturally kept in touch with Xu Du.

But these days, the news from Xudu was cut off all of a sudden.

According to Zhang Liao's guess, it must be Zang Ba of Qingxu Land who has evil intentions and wants to take advantage of this sensitive period of the king's death to stand on his own feet and block the road.

He originally wanted to lead the troops to Xudu himself, but he didn't dare to move without the military order. Secondly, Jiang Dong had been in Hefei for a long time, and he couldn't get away.

As for sending the rest of the generals, sending hundreds of people over there?

I'm afraid I won't be able to break through the blockade.

Bringing thousands of people over, although breaking through the blockade, what should I do if the new king is afraid?

Now, I am afraid it is a critical moment for succession, he has not been ordered to send troops to Xudu, what does this mean?
If it is under the operation of someone with a heart, if the new owner does not trust him, his life may be lost.

War is about killing people with swords, but politics is about killing generals who are victorious in a hundred battles with just a few words.

Zhang Liao looked down on everyone on the battlefield, and his sense of smell was even more acute in politics.

But today's keen sense of smell has also made him trapped in Hefei, which has become a battle between trapped beasts.

Although the Jiangdong rats are nothing to worry about, that's what the soldiers think.

Before he was able to defeat Sun Quan, he had no internal worries, and the second was that he was caught off guard by beating Sun Quan.

现在
But there is no such a good opportunity for him to create another miracle of 800 people breaking 10 people.

"Why should the general be worried? The new master will come soon, and Hefei has not been in touch with Xu for a long time. He must have known earlier. If we persist for another ten days and a half months, support will surely come."

Zhang Liao nodded slightly.

"How much food and grass are left in the city?"

"It's enough for three months."

three months?
Zhang Liao's eyes flickered, and he said, "After five days, let the soldiers in the city prepare a sumptuous meal for the soldiers to celebrate the New Year!"

Three months of food and grass is naturally not much.

but.
If the morale in the city is gone, what is the use of more food and grass?

Eat a good meal during the Chinese New Year and boost your morale!
Afterwards, when the country is stable, they will surely be able to come to support.

It's better to focus on the immediate things, and then think about the long-term things.

Under the city of Hefei, wars are raging.

But in Jiangling City, it was another scene.

The long river of time is mighty and mighty, and it will soon wash away.

In a blink of an eye, it is the first day of the new year.

New Year.

The whole Jiangling City is very lively.

First, Liu Gongsi, the Prince of Hanzhong, gave a big banquet to the officials and generals. After various rewards, it was visible to the naked eye that the morale of the army was raised.

Liu Chan's prestige and favor in the hearts of his officials and soldiers has also increased a lot.

Spend money to buy wind reviews, spend money to keep safe.

It's worth the money.

early in the morning.

Liu Chan got up from the bed.

As for the scenery on the bed, needless to say.

After getting up, he was quickly awakened by the movement outside.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty changed the Taichu calendar, there has been a custom of New Year's Day.

The hustle and bustle outside the Sheriff's Mansion is naturally also a custom on New Year's Day.

Nuo opera and exorcism.

New Year's Day is the beginning of a new year. At this critical moment of the transition from the old to the new, there are some activities to exorcise evil spirits from the government to the folk, hoping to keep bad luck in the old year and bring good luck in the new year.

When Liu Chan walked out of the mansion, the Nuo opera was already coming to an end.

Hundreds of teenagers in soap suits, holding big scorpions; Fang Xiang wearing a mask and wearing bear skin, dancing with twelve beasts, etc. Finally, the cavalry drove the statue representing the disease and threw it into the river for burning. In short, the scene was very grand. .

On both sides of the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion, the wooden plaques of Shentu and Yulei were also hung.

The legend of Shentu and Yulei originated in ancient times. According to the "Shan Hai Jing", they grew up on a big peach tree, guarded the gate of ghosts, and used reed ropes to catch evil ghosts, and then fed them to tigers.

This kind of legend evolved until later, people used peach wood as a door, and put pictures of Shen Tu and Yu Lei on it, thinking that this could play a role in warding off evil spirits.

"That's a little breath of life."

I have been fighting before, either killing people, or on the way to killing people.

Wouldn't it be great if we could live in peace like this all the time?

unfortunately
In this world, there is always a struggle for superiority and inferiority. The current peace is only temporary, and the so-called prosperity of Jiangling is just passing away before the world is unified.

"Your Highness, the Zhengdan Conference is ready, and the military adviser asked me to invite Your Highness to go."

"I'll go now."

Liu Chan nodded slightly, knowing the Zhengdan Conference well.

Yesterday's big banquet was just a grand ceremony for meritorious ministers bestowed by Liu Chan.

If we push forward a few decades, during the time of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the Han court would hold a large court event called the "Zhengdan Conference", and all civil and military officials would congratulate the emperor at the court meeting.The location of the Zhengdan Conference was in the Deyang Hall in Luoyang City during the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Today's Zhengdan General Assembly is naturally not so grand, but the officials from all over Jingzhou went to the hall to pay their respects, and presented the local revenue and expenditure documents for the past year. These procedures are still necessary.

It can be seen that the Zhengdan General Assembly is not entirely a ceremony, but also has a bit of political affairs in it.

Especially now that Liu Chan has initially settled in Jingzhou, this Zhengdan meeting is more like an assessment of the work of officials in the past few months.

Naturally, some matters cannot be assessed in more than a month.

But things like resettling refugees, reclaiming land, dredging water conservancy, etc., can still see initial results within a few months.

Soon, Liu Chan went to the lobby of the government office.

In the lobby, civil servants and military generals are next in line.

Everyone has food and wine in front of them.

When Liu Chan took his seat, everyone got up and bowed heavily to Liu Chan.

"I'll pay my respects to Your Highness! Congratulations to Your Highness!"

Everyone saluted and shouted.

"There is no need to be too polite, Zhengdan Festival, I will congratulate you all! Sit down."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After everyone was seated, Liu Chan gave Pang Tong a look, and the latter got up immediately.

"Your Highness will arrive soon, and the ceremony will begin. The officials from all over the country will go to the hall to pay their respects, and present the income and expenditure documents of the past three months, as well as the list of various affairs."

The nine counties of Jingzhou.

First, the counties in the county of Nanjun came forward to congratulate.

"Jiangling County congratulates His Highness!"

The chief planner of Jiangling County knelt down, holding two form books in his hands, and raised them above his head.

Fei Yi stepped forward and took the two form books in the hands of the chief planner in Jiangling County, and handed them to Liu Chan on the copybook.

Liu Chan opened the March income and expenditure documents.

The income and expenditure in October and November are average, but in December, the income directly skyrocketed, of course.
After yesterday's rewards, the money and food in the treasury bottomed out for a while.

but
If the money is given to the heroes and soldiers, they will definitely spend it.

At that time, the money and food will still go back to the government.

It's just a cycle.

Then open the list of things.

It is found that Jiangling County has done a lot of work.

Building cities, repairing ferries, resettling refugees, emigrating, reclaiming fields, repairing water conservancy.
The work in Jiangling County was done under the command of Pang Tong. If it is not beautiful, then there is something wrong with it.

"Jiangling County has done a good job, with high-level evaluations and wine. If there is a vacancy in the top position, the Jiangling County Magistrate can promote it at his discretion."

The excitement on the counter's face couldn't be restrained, he took the wine handed over by the waiter, drank it in one gulp, and then bowed three times, sincerely saying: "Thank you for the wine, Your Highness is blessed and safe!"

After the Jiangling county official bowed and retreated, another official in the robe of a senior official entered behind him.

"Dangyang County congratulates His Highness."

The chief planner of Jiangling County knelt down, also holding two form books in his hands, and raised them above his head.

The process is the same as that of the previous officials in Jiangling County.

When Fei Yi brought the document list to the copybook, Liu Chan didn't feel the slightest bit of impatience, so he opened it and looked it up carefully.

Generally speaking, the magistrate of Dangyang County has done a good job.

But if you want to say that you have meritorious service, then you can't say it.

There is nothing wrong with it.

"Dangyang County is doing well, with an upper-middle evaluation. Give me wine!"

If you have an upper-middle evaluation, you won't worry about being demoted, but if you want to be promoted, unless everyone else is upper-middle, otherwise as long as there is one other person who is upper-middle, he will be promoted first.

Next.

Officials from Huarong, Pang, Zhijiang, Jingyang, Zhouling, Jianli, Songzi, Shishou and other counties all came to congratulate the New Year and played the list of documents.

Overall, the overall level of Nanjun is good.

After all, it has been occupied by Guan Yu all the time. All the officials are considered diligent and conscientious, and the common people can also be said to be obedient.

"Mi Fang, the prefect of Nanjun County, has made great achievements in governing the region, and I will give you wine! Top rating!"

Mi Fang's face was full of spring breeze, and he immediately stepped out, knelt down on the ground, took the fine wine, drank it with trembling hands, then looked at Liu Chan gratefully, bowed three more times, and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness, for giving me the wine!" !"

Now Liu Chan is in charge of major affairs in Jingzhou, and his son Mi Yang is working under Liu Chan's command. The matter of surrender has no effect. Now it seems that as long as he works hard for His Highness, although his political future is not better than others, at least he has a thought no?

Isn't this first-class evaluation the tone revealed by His Highness?

Next, it is Nanyang County.

Nanjun is the prefecture of Jingzhou, while Nanyang County is the most important and most populous county in Jingzhou.

Wan, Champion, Ye, Xinye, Xi'e, Pheasant, Luyang, Ji, Bowang, Wuyin, Biyang, Fuyang, Pingshi, and other 37 counties, all came forward to congratulate Liu Chan and presented documents table book.

Liu Chan is very familiar with the situation in Nanyang.

For more than a month, he has basically stayed in Nanyang. It is the documents and lists presented by Nanyang, and the data is good.

He immediately said: "Nanyang County Governor Dongli Gun has made meritorious service in governing the region, and I will give you wine! First-class evaluation!"

Next.

Counties in Jiangxia County, Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, Changsha County, Zhangling County, and Nanxiang County came forward to present forms and documents.

After reading hundreds of documents and documents, even Liu Chan was very patient, and he couldn't help but feel a little bored.

However.
Dealing with political affairs is so boring.

Today's Zhengdan meeting is still an opportunity for him to systematically understand the nine counties of Jingxiang. Therefore, although the process is tedious and boring, Liu Chan still shows his patience as the lord.

Read them one by one, then comment and give wine one by one.

The officials in the hall, especially Pang Tong, nodded in satisfaction when they saw Liu Chan's appearance.

He was still a little worried in his heart, whether His Highness would not be able to bear the pain of this copy.

After all, His Highness has never been bothered by such trifles since he was a child.

After arriving in Jingzhou, he was also responsible for all kinds of trivial matters.

Your Highness only needs to focus on fighting and buying people's hearts.

But looking at it now, it made him understand Liu Chan better.

Your Highness is still patient.

Although good at fighting, good at women.

But even after the death of the king in the future, this political affairs will not be abandoned.

After reading all the records and documents in the nine counties of Jingxiang and commenting, the time has gone from morning to dusk.

goo goo~
Even though Liu Chan had been prepared and ate a lot in the morning, his stomach still growled uncontrollably.

"Your Highness, the Zhengdan Conference will end here."

Not only Liu Chan was suffering, but the people watching from the sidelines also suffered.

"Not urgent."

Liu Chan shook his head lightly, and said: "There are a few counties that haven't done well just now, such as Qianling County in Wuling County. Not only did the county fail to build water conservancy and reclaim fields, but even broke out several civil unrest.

And what happened to Nanxiang County in Nanxiang County?Such a favorable geographical location, but no political achievements?

Whether it is a mediocre official or a corrupt official, you have to investigate it for me. After the investigation is clear, I will never tolerate it! "

Wuling County is fine.

After all, it is a land of barbarians.

There is turmoil at times, which is understandable.

He could only give magistrate Ann an incompetent evaluation.

But in Nanxiang County, Nanxiang County, he, Liu Chan, couldn't understand it.

You are still in business.

How has Jiangling developed?

What have you developed into?
Liu Chan has already made a decision.

In these counties, he will send people to investigate thoroughly.

of course
For the other counties and counties, he will also send people to secretly search for the reported data, so as not to be deceived by him.

In short
Under his Liu Chan rule, the officials did not say that the water was clear and there were no fish.

It is also necessary to achieve the point where there are no mediocre officials and no corrupt officials.

greedy?
You can be greedy.

But you have to make things beautiful.

Mediocre official?

That is even more intolerable.

Corrupt officials can at least do things, but you mediocre officials occupy the latrine and don't shit.

The most hateful!
Kill the chicken and the monkey!
Liu Chan was thinking at this moment, if he knew the evidence of the crime, what punishment would he use to punish these corrupt and mediocre officials?
In order to achieve the role of killing chickens and monkeys?
