The Three Kingdoms of Farming and War began with the incorporation of the Baiyue

Today, the city of Chang'an is becoming more and more vibrant under Jin Zhe's rule, as if it has returned to the heyday of the Western Han Dynasty.

However, behind the prosperity, there are many shadows of the gentry.

The policy of Jingzhou is gradually changing, and the scholars with a keen sense of smell are abandoning the eldest prince and joining the fourth prince Jin Zhe.

In Jinzhe's mansion, there was drinking and chatting, no uninitiated people came and went, and the music of the zither and the Chinese harp were in full swing.

"Master, look at this scene." Jin Zhe said to Hua Xin with a smile, "It's quite impressive!"

While chatting and laughing, Hua Xin could not help but worry: "Your Highness, although the present prosperity is as splendid as brocade, the power of the aristocracy is intertwined and over-reliance may not be a long-term solution. The decline of the Han Dynasty in the past also had its internal causes. The interference of foreign relatives in politics and the rise of the aristocracy eventually led to the decline of the government. If Your Highness wants to achieve a great cause for generations to come, you still need to think carefully about how to balance the forces of all parties and at the same time cultivate talents who are truly loyal to Your Highness to consolidate the foundation."

Jin Zhe's smile faded slightly when he heard this, his eyes were deep: "Sir, you are right, I know this is difficult. But because of this, we need to be cautious step by step, we need to use the power of the nobles to stabilize the overall situation, and we need to make secret arrangements to weaken their influence and gradually build our own team. Sir, do you have any good ideas?"

Hua Xin stroked his beard, pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness can start with the imperial examination, recruit talents widely, regardless of their background, and select only those with talent. This move can not only break the monopoly of the gentry on official careers, but also attract talents from all over the world to serve Your Highness. At the same time, Your Highness can secretly support some children from poor families, so that they can gradually emerge in the court and form a new force. In addition, strengthening military power and ensuring the loyalty of the army to Your Highness is the top priority."

Jin Zhe nodded in approval: "Sir, your plan is exactly what I want. I have already made plans for the reform of the imperial examination system, and I will implement it when the time is right. As for military power, I also have plans. I am planning to promote several loyal and capable generals to strengthen my military power."

After that, the two smiled at each other, as if they had seen the future of Chang'an City under Jin Zhe's governance, not only will it remain prosperous, but it will also be able to get rid of the shackles of the aristocracy and create a new era of prosperity. As the night deepened, the laughter and joy in the mansion continued, but behind this prosperity, a contest for power and the future had quietly begun.

Jin Zhe continued, "However, the road to reform has always been fraught with thorns, and this king is well aware of the difficulties involved. The reform of the imperial examination system is intended to select people with real talent and knowledge, break down the prejudice of family background, and allow all heroes in the world to have a place to use their talents. Although this move is beneficial to the country and the people, it is bound to touch the reverse scale of those who cling to the interests of the aristocratic families. As for the adjustment of military power, it is even more sensitive and needs to be done with caution to avoid causing unnecessary turmoil."

He paused, looking out the window with deep eyes. Chang'an City under the moonlight seemed both peaceful and mysterious. "This king wants to set up a secret agency called 'Shadow Guard' to monitor the movements of the court and the subtle changes of various forces. What do you think, sir?"

The counselor was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he showed approval: "Your Highness's move is indeed far-sighted. If the Shadow Guard can be established, it will provide Your Highness with valuable intelligence support, allowing you to take every step carefully on the road of reform and win the battle. However, this organization requires absolute loyalty and secrecy, and the candidates must be carefully selected."

Jin Zhe nodded in agreement: "Sir, you are right. I have secretly selected several candidates. They are all from humble backgrounds, but they are both intelligent and brave, and loyal to me. They will be the cornerstone of the Shadow Guards, and will become the sharpest sword in my hand in the future."

As the night deepened, the two continued to discuss the details of reform and layout. Every decision contained far-reaching considerations for the future. They knew that every step on this road needed to be cautious, but as long as they cared about the world and remained committed, they would eventually be able to create an unprecedented prosperity and let the light of Chang'an shine everywhere.

"In addition," Jin Zhe added, "we also need to establish a strict training system to ensure that these shadow guards are not only loyal but also capable. Martial arts, spy skills, intelligence analysis, and even psychological tactics, each one is indispensable. Only in this way can they become our most solid eyes and ears and brothers in the undercurrent situation."

A gleam of approval flashed in the gentleman's eyes. "You have considered it carefully, Jinzhe. The establishment of a training system is crucial. It will be the key to whether the Shadow Guard can really play its role. At the same time, we also need to establish a promotion mechanism to allow capable people to stand out. This will not only maintain the vitality of the team, but also motivate other members to continue to improve."

The night was as dark as ink, the candlelight flickered, and the two figures cast long shadows on the wall, as if foreshadowing the coming storm and glory. They knew that the road to reform would be full of thorns, but it was this difficulty that created heroes and great achievements. Every decision and every layout was for that distant and grand dream - an ideal country where people live and work in peace and prosperity.

"We also need to strengthen our alliance with other forces," Jin Zhe further proposed. "Whether it is local tyrants or undercurrents in the court, if we can skillfully maneuver and take advantage of the situation, our strength will be doubled. At the same time, we cannot ignore the gathering of grassroots forces. The support of the people is often the key to victory or defeat."

The gentleman nodded, his eyes deep: "Indeed, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Every step we take must consider its impact on the people, and strive to make more people see hope and be willing to walk with us. Remember, true victory does not lie in how many cities we conquer, but in how many people's hearts we win."

As the discussion deepened, the blueprint in the minds of the two became clearer. They knew that although this road was long and full of unknowns, as long as they had firm beliefs and took every step carefully, one day they would be able to lead this ancient land into a new era, making the glory of Chang'an a star that future generations would always look up to. In order to realize this grand vision, they began to work on a detailed plan. From improving people's livelihood and promoting economic development to strengthening education and improving the quality of the people, every policy strives to be close to the actual needs of the people, aiming to fundamentally solve the pain points and difficulties of society. At the same time, they also realized that the power of culture is equally indispensable, so they promoted cultural revival, encouraged artistic creation, and let the ancient cultural heritage shine with new brilliance in the new era, becoming a bridge connecting the past and the future.

In this process, they paid special attention to uniting all forces that could be united, whether it was the scholar class or the general public, and tried their best to include them in this great change. Through extensive dialogue and communication, many misunderstandings and barriers were eliminated, and a community based on common ideals and beliefs was gradually built. In this community, everyone is an important link in pushing the wheel of history forward, and everyone's efforts converge into a powerful force to promote the progress of the times.

They also know that diplomacy is an indispensable part. While maintaining independence, they actively seek friendly cooperation with other countries, learn from advanced experiences, and spread their unique cultural charm to win more respect and friendship for this land. Under the strategy of both internal and external improvement, this ancient land gradually radiates unprecedented vitality and vigor, becoming the focus of world attention.

In this way, as time went by, their dreams gradually became reality. Although they encountered setbacks and challenges along the way, with their firm belief and unremitting efforts, they eventually led this land into a glorious era that was both ancient and new, making the name of Chang'an not only engraved on the monument of history, but also a beacon that illuminates the road to the future.

In this process, culture and technology go hand in hand and become the twin engines driving the continued prosperity of this land.
