Goose Three Kingdoms

Chapter 654 Deep Adjustment
After meeting Duan Wei, Black Bear drove the boat and took Duan Wei to Shaanxi and Tianjin.

Duan Wei was sent to Tongguan to take up his post halfway through the journey. If he wanted to cause trouble, he naturally couldn't just rush in with his fangs and claws.

Therefore, Duan Wei took office normally, dismissed the school officials left by Kong Rong, and then began to deploy his own people.

Duan Wei never had a good impression of the scholar group in Chang'an University City that the Grand Marshal wanted to attack.

Most of the scholars in Guanlong who had some potential had already entered officialdom.

Even if they lack talent and knowledge, they will be arranged to join the army and start as clerks.

As for attacking the scholars in Chang'an through matters between men and women, we need to find a good starting point.

After all, the Shangsi Festival in February every year is a festival for collective spring outings for men and women, and the atmosphere between men and women is open.

It was the beginning of the turbulent times, and many people had extremely high upper and lower thresholds of their concepts.

Therefore, if you want to attack the scholars in Chang'an from the perspective of male and female enjoyment, you have to take some time and choose a subtle entry point.

Duan Wei was not in a hurry. He just sent people to check the case files of counties and centurions near Chang'an.

In today's world, scholars have affairs with common people women around them...Except for the common people's husbands, other scholars or common people think it is just a leisurely hobby.

However, Chang'an gathered all kinds of scholars, many of whom were of low morals.

These people commit disgusting crimes, and out of consideration for collective reputation, many people will suppress them or cooperate in silence.

Duan Wei didn't think that Black Bear had nothing to do after eating and specifically called him back to entertain him. He must have heard something.

He was specially invited because he was dissatisfied with the two levels of Sanfu counties.

It was said that he was asked to solve the shortage of miners in Hancheng, but in fact he was asked to severely deal with all kinds of scholars gathered in Chang'an.

Cleaning up and screening this group of people also meant that the shogunate had finally gained a firm foothold and had an endless supply of reserve officials.

Black Bear did not rush Duan Wei, as long as he could damage the reputation of traditional scholars before spring.

After returning to Hancheng, he began to build the second giant steam engine.

The machine in the smelting plant is responsible for forging and shaping iron, and the manufacturing progress this time is encouraging.

Since it is a stationary steam engine, the material can be thicker.

In addition to commanding the Taoist troops to polish the materials, he could only find time to write teaching materials in his spare time when dealing with correspondence.

The textbook of Qinghua Guards was used as a reference and modified.

Writing teaching materials was actually simpler. He was only responsible for turning the pages, while several Taoist soldiers with special skills in calligraphy could write and draw quickly.

They are all just drafts, and in the end Lu Bu will definitely be asked to copy the drafts and engrave the copper plates.

Before we knew it, it was mid-August and the weather was turning cold.

At the beginning of the month, the Xianbei king Budugen escorted 5,000 young and strong men to Hancheng, most of whom were mixed Hu people, and some were slaves from within the Xianbei.

Seeing that he had gathered enough people, Black Bear warmly invited Budugen to stay and have a meal together.

Afterwards, Budugen quickly returned to Yunzhong, unlike Liu Bao, who would go to the university town to buy books every time he brought the Xiongnu nobles to Guanzhong.

As long as the Xianbei offer 5,000 slaves every year... it's not impossible to keep the Xianbei people.

Towards the end of the month, a team of craftsmen and farmers from Yizhou arrived in Guanzhong.

Team leader Wang Fu came to Hancheng with Huang Quan's letter, and Black Bear still squeezed out time to meet him during lunch.

It was just Huang Quan's letter that made Hei Xiong unhappy, which showed that Huang Quan did not trust the postal system and did not trust the officials like secretaries who were in charge of the matter.

Wang Fu had no appetite and waited quietly for the decision.

In the letter, Huang Quan believed that the Shu Road reconstruction project no longer required 120,000 people and wanted to reduce the scale.

The Shu Road project has formed inertia, and too many people have relied on this inertia to profit.

Huang Quan was even more ruthless. He wanted to lay off 90,000 employees at once, leaving only 30,000.

If this news gets out, it will be detrimental to Huang Quan's lifespan.

Black Bear considered carefully and concluded that the original purpose of rebuilding the Shu Road was to find a hard job for the people of Yizhou, divert their attention, and control the idle population in Shu.

The Sanmenxia excavation project also made him realize that too many people were really useless.

In Sanmenxia, ​​there are only about 5,000 people who can cut stones in one county. As the roads for transporting firewood and grass were built and dug, the peripheral manpower has begun to withdraw, and now there are less than 50,000 people left.

In winter, the number will be further reduced to more than 20,000 people, some of whom will dig the Xinmen River Canal, and some will clear dangerous shoals.

So the same applies to the Shu Road project, construction manpower needs to be reasonably allocated.

"Gong Heng serves the country and the people, I will not let this kindness down."

Black Bear made a promise and looked at Wang Fu: "After Gong Heng, who can do it?"

Wang Fu bowed and said: "Grand Marshal, the foreign officials believe that Zhang Ziqiao is a famous scholar in this state, praised by the whole country, and can take on the great responsibility."

"He is now so absorbed in his research on steam engines that I'm afraid he will have trouble concentrating on government affairs."

Black Bear looked at Wang Fu and said, "I will summon Gong Heng to the court soon, and the affairs of Yizhou will be entrusted to you."

Wang Fu's eyes widened with fear. Black Bear raised his hand to stop Wang Fu from refusing and said, "The Sima in my mansion will be stationed in Hanzhong soon. I will give instructions."

"Yes, I understand."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Wang Fu agreed, stood up and bowed solemnly.

Huang Quan doesn't want to be a bad guy, and Wang Fu doesn't want to be a bad guy either.

So Zhang Ding was made to be the bad guy, and he was sent to Hanzhong. After arriving, he did a brief investigation and sent an official document to the shogunate. Hei Xiong then reduced the scale of the Shu Road project, and the new governor Wang Fu could only be responsible for its execution and implementation helplessly.

It was time for Zhang Ding to be sent to another place, but Hei Xiong was worried about him, so he had to leave him in Hanzhong.

It was time for Gao Jun to be released, but Black Bear was used to using him, so he kept suppressing him.

Just in time to deal with this matter, Hanzhong had actually been separated from Yizhou and incorporated into Sizhou.

Hanzhong currently has no county governor. Like the Three Auxiliary Prefectures, the Three Auxiliary Prefectures have Sanfu Duwei in charge of public security, military service, and the capital examination; Hanzhong also has a Duwei.

Like the counties in the three prefectures, the counties in Hanzhong were directly managed by the central government and nominally used the official document channel of the Sili Xiaowei office.

Moreover, Hanzhong was not cleaned up. In order to concentrate forces to swallow Yizhou, the Shen brothers in the eastern part of Hanzhong were treated in a conciliatory and indulgent manner.

If Zhang Ding were to go to Hanzhong, he would be able to destroy the powerful forces headed by the Shen brothers and relocate them all to Guanzhong.

If the Shen brothers are unwilling to move, they will become Zhang Ding's whetstone.

So the Shen brothers will make a wise choice.

At this point, we can use our overwhelming force to overwhelm others and crush all the obstacles one by one.

He was also worried that something might happen to Gao Jun, so he appointed Gao Jun as the commander of Hanzhong to cooperate with Zhang Ding in cleaning up the Shen brothers.

Establish good relations with the Ba people and mountain people in advance to facilitate the future battle in South China.

After seeing Wang Fu off, Hei Xiong sent people to summon Zhang Ding to see him.

This first edition of the textbook is extraordinary and cannot be left to others.

Even if the other party's revisions satisfy him, there will still be long-term hidden dangers.

I can only stay in Hancheng to avoid wasting time wandering around.

This made him feel a little irritated. Being a warlord was really boring.

Once the teaching materials are finished, just relax.

But we cannot relax either. We need to persist for another ten years or so. Only then will we have a stable environment, and then we can naturally extend and develop the cabinet system.

The cabinet, after all, is a variation of the position of Shizhong.

The overall power will not change, and it is not appropriate to set up such a subsidiary body at present.

We must work hard to govern the country so that those people will despair.

Therefore, in order to seize power and hold power, these people will continue to persuade others to take over.

If you really become a king or an emperor, you will have to set up government offices and power will naturally be distributed.

Although I am a little tired now, I feel comfortable and worry-free.
