Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 453 New Year’s Eve Banquet

"Another overseas fairy island was discovered by the navy and turned out to be a good place on earth"...

"The fertile soil of a state hangs in the East China Sea, please come and taste it"...

"The candidates for the three governors have been finalized, did you guess it right?" 》……

"Moving to Danzhou, the first step to becoming a gentry"...

"Shock!An indigenous woman from Ganzhou actually wears something like this? "...

In the second year of Chu Li, starting from Jinling, including the newspapers in surrounding counties, on the New Year's Day, the matter of opening up Danzhou was already published.

Because there is now more than one kind of newspaper in Jinling, and the wording is different, but generally speaking, they all want to attract people to open up wasteland overseas.

Other counties will also fully publicize this matter within half a month.

Including the selection of the three governors, the positioning of Danzhou, support for private land reclamation, and the benefits of going to Danzhou...

In the plan of the three governors, the first five years were spent on transporting manpower and material resources from Chu State to Danzhou, and the other five years were spent completing preliminary land reclamation and construction, and completing the initial "civilization" of the local people.

In the next five years, through encouragement, we will attract no less than 50 civilian immigrants and basically complete the civilization of the locals...

As a result, in ten years there will be more than one million immigrants in Danzhou, and the indigenous people will be basically naturalized, no different from the Han people.

Of course, they have more specific plans. In half a month, the three governors will bring their respective governor-general officials, the first wasteland reclamation corps led by Jiang Qin, and the geology, hydrology, forestry, and agriculture departments of the Ministry of Industry. , fishery and other fields, start the trip to Danzhou together.

Therefore, at this year's New Year's Eve banquet, farewell to the forerunners who will go to Danzhou is also one of the themes.

Bai Tu specially arranged Jiang Wan, Bing Yuan, Yi Ji, and Jiang Qin in positions closest to the chief throne, which was far superior to their normal official positions.

The bachelors who will be sent by the Ministry of Industry are also invited to attend this year's New Year's Eve banquet of King Chu.

At the beginning of the banquet, Bai Tu first "drinked" a cup of wine about the matter of opening up the wasteland of Danzhou, and further conveyed this signal to others.

Another seat that is obviously much closer to the front than the previous one is undoubtedly the Imperial Palace Attendant of the State of Chu...

It is said that in the official system of the Chu State, the imperial censor in the palace was just a subordinate officer of the censor's desk, ranking under the censor doctor and censor Zhongcheng.

The Yushitai itself is a supervisory agency, mainly responsible for picketing and impeaching officials. Its powers and responsibilities are similar to those of the Yushitai before Zhenguan in history - it does not have the power of law enforcement or trial.

However, in addition to being able to report the matter to the King of Chu, the Yushitai itself has the power of investigation. The Yushitai has the right to summon officials with a value of less than two thousand dan to question. If the King of Chu agrees, he can call any official to question.

The scope of the inquiry is limited to abuse of power by officials. If it is other illegal acts, it needs to be transferred to the Ministry of Penalty for processing.

The official rank of the Yushitai is not high, and the Yushidao only has [-] shi. Like the "provincial governor" before the abolition of the history and the establishment of Mu, they all use low officials to oversee high officials.

Even so, Yushitai is also the official from other departments who dislikes dealing with the most...

Of course, the identity of the "Censor in the Palace" who is sitting in front of the Censor is somewhat special. Not only is he a Censor who is not afraid of a few officials, but it is against his rank to sit far away from the King of Chu. Very close.

The reason why officials are not very afraid of him is because he is the only censor who will not "look for trouble" - Cao Pi.

That's right, because Cao Pi is already 17 years old. According to the current relationship between Chu and Wei, it is not impossible for Bai Tu to continue to hold Cao Pi captive, but he also has a moral responsibility to teach and train Cao Pi.

In addition... for some well-known reasons, Cao Pi's salary has been significantly improved in recent months, and he was also appointed as the palace official.

Because he was an official of Yushitai, from the perspective of Chu State alone, Cao Pi was already at the level of an official - he could not command anyone, but he would not be afraid of anyone.

Moreover, the function of the censor as a "palace attendant" was theoretically focused on court rites, internal affairs in Jiangshanyuan, and officials in the capital. He was a censor who was relatively close to the King of Chu.

How close is it?There are two people in the palace who can go in and out of Jiangshan Garden. The other one is Mi Heng...

However, with Cao Pi's status, he would not really supervise Chu officials without any trouble!
Xia Houjuan was still sitting at the same table with Cao Pi at this time. In theory, he was the deputy envoy. He was usually in the post house and had not officially joined the Chu palace.

Mainly waiting for the dowry from Wei State...

Although in theory, there is no need for a ceremony to accept a concubine, and she can be taken directly into the palace, Xiahou Juan has a special status after all, and is recognized by Cao Cao as a clan daughter, so she will be more particular.

On the one hand, it was to cooperate with Xiahou Yuan and "support" Xiahou Juan; on the other hand, it was also to clarify the "Chu-Wei Alliance" to other princes, mainly to the forces supporting the Han Dynasty.

Even Zhang Yang didn't go to the post house to "care" about Cao Pi and Sima Lang recently...

Although his "backstage" Lu Bu must have been much tougher, since Xiahou Juan was already the princess, he didn't want to embarrass Lu Bu. After all, Lu Bu was still the queen's father, so those who didn't know thought it was because of the quarrel between the concubines.

Who told my niece to be so incompetent...

Lu Lingqi, who was more than six months pregnant, only appeared with Bai Tu for a while before the banquet started, and soon went back to the backyard to rest.

Bai Tu, on the other hand, specially called Cao Pi who was not far away after having a banquet by himself.

"Zihuan should be used to it in Jinling, right? Is there any woman he likes?" Bai Tu asked directly.

Cao Pi felt depressed for a while after hearing this - listen to it... are you still "used to it"?
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Pi is obsessed with studying and has never gotten along with women." Cao Pi said, "I'm here to study."

Cao Pi was still thinking that if the situation changed in two years, maybe Wei Guo could take him back on the grounds of "returning to his hometown to get married."

"The Lu family has a legitimate daughter, Lu Ling. She is eighteen years old, but she is similar in age to you... Of course, she is still young now. If you want, you can get in touch. I can help you arrange this marriage in two years!" Bai Tu said grandly.

"Pi still wants to read more while he is young..." Cao Pi wanted to decline politely again.

However, Bai Tu directly interrupted: "That's just right! This Lu Ling from the Lu family has already passed the second place in the imperial examination before, but she just didn't accept the appointment. You can let her tutor you then."

Cao Pi: ...

Bai Tu really didn't lie. Lu Ling was Lu Kang's granddaughter and Lu Jun's daughter. Lu Ling had indeed participated in the imperial examination before, and when she first signed up, Lu Kang didn't know that it was directly recommended by his son Lu Jun - because Due to Lu Kang's meritorious service, although Lu Jun's official position was not high, he was related to the conferment of titles by the Neihou, so he was also qualified for recommendation.

Later, when Lu Kang found out, he was so angry that he gave Lu Jun two sticks with his cane.

How could he not know what Lu Jun was thinking?
But Lu Kang also knew that Bai Tu didn't actually have any thoughts about female officials. The reason why he supported the women's imperial examination was simply to promote female officials...

If you can really be like Xu Rong, with outstanding abilities or special abilities, and can be retained as the center, you will still have some opportunities to operate it yourself.

But how capable his granddaughter is, Lu Kang also knows that the top two are very reluctant!

Otherwise, what would Lu Kang recommend the daughter of the Xu family to do?
Finally, after the results were released, Lu Jun resigned before selecting officials...

After all, Erjia is to be devolved to the local area. If she is the daughter of an ordinary family, she may be very happy, because at least she is a long history of a county-level Liubu Hall, but it is nothing to the Lu family, and she is the granddaughter. Kang was a little reluctant to part with him. He was already getting older, so he was extremely protective of his son and did not care about "showing Lu's advanced nature."
