"Okay." After hearing Xue Tong's words, Lu Yao nodded slightly with confidence.
The civilian staff of the military office were finally created, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, and also lacked recognition of the military office and tacit understanding. Lu Yao raised questions about major policies, but these officials were more entangled in front of him and were keen to overwhelm others with their own ideas. This scene did not satisfy Lu Yao very much. In Lu Yao's opinion, these people were just using a topic to show Lu Yao their abilities. However, administrative measures and directions can always allow the officials to discuss slowly, as long as the discussion is controlled to a certain limit, grasp the final needs and show their strengths. In comparison, the generals and schoolmen have made great progress. Even a rough-minded fighting man like Chen Jin actually began to consider issues other than fighting.
There is no doubt that the army is always the core force and a truly reliable force. Only by ensuring the combat effectiveness of the army can the Pingbei Military Prefecture survive, develop and grow. Perhaps with the continuous expansion of its strength, it is difficult for Lu Yao to truly grasp the situation of every grassroots soldier as before. However, the generals and schoolmen led by Xue Tong have been tempered for a long time and have sufficient abilities and loyalty.
Zao Song, Xian Yusi, Huang Yi and others continued their previous arguments, but they didn't realize that Lu Yao had already thought of other aspects and turned a deaf ear to the disputes one after another. However, there were truly smart people among the civil servants.
Fang Qinzhi and Shao Xu looked at each other in a very concealed manner, and their expressions remained unchanged at all, just continued to sit upright. When the debate in the hall came to an end, Fang Qinzhi slowly stood up.
When Fang Qinzhi first entered Lu Yao's shogunate, everyone thought he was just a good at showing off his mouth and was a first-class comic figure in Dongfang Shuo. But this man first took risks and instigated Wang Jun to kill himself. Then he showed considerable talents in various government affairs in the military government, so he looked at him with admiration and thought he had misunderstood him before. Unexpectedly, he had been with Lu Yao's side in recent days, and his skill in flattery made everyone feel beyond the reach of everyone. In just over ten days, he had become a civilian staff member who was highly trusted by Lu Yao.
Since he had something to say, everyone suppressed their emotions and waited to speak.
"The lord asked us what is the important matter and what is the urgent matter. In my opinion, intervening in the Donghu divisions may be the important matter of the military government in the future, but when our army was reorganized and morale was not yet fully restored, it is not the urgent matter." Fang Qinzhi casually brushed his sleeves, smiled apologetically to Chen Jin, and then said: "Duan tribe, Murong, Yuwen, Fuyu, and Goguryeo, these five powerful forces are entangled with each other, both enemies and friends, and their attitude towards the court is also loyal and treacherous. The governor of Pingzhou and the subordinate of the Dongyi Captain Li Zhen. However, a thousand people were trapped in Xiangping City. Because of their decline in power, they were not valued and barely maintained the existence of the imperial court in Liaodong. What about our Pingbei Military Prefecture? Even if we show it as strong, it is not enough to suppress all the troops; even if we show it as weak, the result of the Battle of Ruyuan is enough to arouse fear of those people. Therefore, we only need to inquire and understand, but we don’t have to rush to speak out; if we intervene rashly, it may trigger a huge change in the situation in Liaodong, which is inconsistent with the original intention of ensuring the safety of Youzhou."
"So, Qinzhi suggests that we keep a low profile and manage our patience?"
"I think it is not advisable to simply hide my strength and keep a low profile in Youzhou. Although this is an urgent task, it is not a priority in the future."
"What does this mean?"
"The military government entered Jicheng and was ordered by the imperial court. The general trend was soaring. No one dared to confront him head-on. Thanks to the efforts of his colleagues, he has firmly established himself. It can be said that the soldiers are a little more skilled, the food is enough, and the people are safe. But if you want to go further and plan to operate the core areas of Youzhou such as Fanyang and Yan on a large scale, you will definitely push someone to our opposite."
Lu Yao smiled and cooperated with the conversation: "Who is someone who is Qinzhi said?"
"Lord, after all, Youzhou has a governor appointed by the court." Fang Qinzhi said eruditely: "The ancestors' official positions are not as high as those of the lord, but they can compete with each other. They are renamed and have the power of civil affairs to control the appointment of county and county chiefs in various places. Jicheng nursery rhyme says: The two governors of the East and West, and the one governor of Youzhou are enough to prove that the lord has both the power of the land and the military power of Youzhou. However, the dignified governor of Youzhou has been forced to control only Yan State. However, the dignified governor of Youzhou has been forced to control only Yan State.
, the civil affairs of Fanyang and the two places; afterwards, we managed Youzhou, and we inevitably involved many issues of farming and mulberry farming and further infringing on the power of the governor, how could Zu Shizhi be willing to do it! Everyone, Zu Shizhi is from a large family in Youzhou, and has both talent and knowledge and reputation. Once we are in a dilemma with the military government, how much energy will it involve? With the general's ambitions, he may not be willing to imitate the ordinary and mediocre Fang Bo, and be busy fighting for power with his colleagues all day long."
After Lu Yao entered Youzhou, he never visited Zu Shi, who was also in Jicheng. Although it was because of his busy military affairs, he also had the intention of deliberately keeping a distance. Based on his memories of his previous life, Lu Yao knew more about Zu Shizhi than anyone present. Therefore, he understood that what Fang Qinzhi said was nothing wrong.
The current power of the Pingbei Military Prefecture was indeed the result of suppressing the governor's office by destroying Wang Jun's troops in the battle. But Zu Ti was not a person who would be at a disadvantage for a long time. Before he took office, he hurried to win over Qi Hong, the general of Youzhou Army, but was hit by Lu Yao, which caused some embarrassment. Of course, it was not to be a mediocre official who received salary, but to make a difference. After the military prefecture entered Youzhou, its government affairs measures were nothing more than to form a military farm and a division of land, and rarely interfere with the governor's governance. However, if you intend to control Youzhou more deeply on the existing basis, the conflict between the two sides would be inevitable.
An officer muttered anxiously: "Zu Ge is just an unknown junior. If you are afraid of him, we are not afraid..."
Before he finished speaking, he stopped talking under Lu Yao's stern gaze.
The soldiers were not afraid, and Lu Yao was not afraid of Zu Ti at all. Even if Zu Ti grabbed Qi Hong to help him, he was not taken seriously by Lu Yao, who was gradually becoming more and more prosperous. But Fang Qinzhi said it right, Lu Yao shouldn't be, and he was unwilling to waste his limited time on the battle with Zu Ti.
Since the end of the Han Dynasty, the nomadic peoples who had survived under the might of the Han army have been resting for a hundred years. They attacked and annexed each other, and they continued to produce fierce leaders like wolves competing on the grasslands; and their scale continued to grow and spread in the process. To this day, although the fierce and powerful tribes were not known to the court, they have actually reached the critical point of external expansion. This year is the second year of Yongjia. In Lu Yao's memory, the Luoyang court completely collapsed under this beautiful year name. Millions of Hu tribes rushed south like a tide, rushing south to enter the Central Plains.
Faced with the terrible situation that will surely come, Lu Yao often asked himself with caution: After the military mansion has occupied Youzhou, can it turn the tide? No, it is not enough, it is far from enough. He must continue to do everything possible to strengthen his strength, and must be fast, before the final overturn. Time is so precious, how can he spend internal struggles, let alone the opponent is the ancestor who has been praised for thousands of years?
While Lu Yao was thinking, someone asked Fang Qinzhi again: "This is not in a hurry, that is not important, this is not true, that is not true? Mr. Fang, we are almost confused by you. What do you think is good? Is it better to give you an idea?"
Fang Qinzhi took tea from his own desk and moistened his voice: "Whether it is dealing with the Donghu tribe or fighting for the authority of Youzhou with Zuti, in the final analysis, he only wrote an article within the authority of the governor of the military of Youzhou. However..." He looked around everyone here and shouted: "We are in Youzhou, but we cannot be limited to Youzhou. With the lord's mind and talent and the lord's ambition, how can the land of a mere state be restricted?"
This time, Lu Yao's grand ambitions were mentioned for the second time. Most of the warriors did not understand the meaning, which was fine. Many civil officials present were shocked and moved. At this point, they knew that Lu Yaojue had no place in Fang Bo's position and was not even an ordinary bureaucrat who was content with the court system. An experienced bureaucrat like Zao Song immediately had a thunderous heart. In front of him, the calm and upright figure of General Pingbei seemed to overlap with the ambitious Prince Peng Zu, the ambitious Prince of Boling County. Zao Song remembered clearly that due to the increasing chaos in the Jin Dynasty, Wang Peng Zu had summoned his confidant subordinates several times and secretly discussed the unspeakable bold and arbitrary matter. Could it be that Lu Yao and Lu Daoming were...
Suddenly understanding such a secret brought heavy pressure to Zao Song, so that he could not hide his hasty expression.
"Qinzhi, you really feel ashamed of my praise. You might as well say bluntly, what if we don't write articles within the authority of the military governor of Youzhou?" Lu Yao glanced at Zao Song, who was restless, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "At this moment, everyone present is my trustworthy and confidant. Qinzhi doesn't have to have any scruples."
Fang Qinzhi replied, "Once the army of soldiers is available, please lead the lord to Luoyang."
"where?"
Fang Qinzhi repeated two words: "Luoyang."
His tone was not high-pitched, but it was like thunder roaring in the ears of civil and military officials. Luoyang was among the great Jin world, and the emperor and the court were located. As a frontier, Lu Yao led his troops to Luoyang without authorization, what kind of nature was this? In an instant, there was an uproar in the conference hall. Some people jumped in panic, and they didn't know what the case he had turned over; some people scolded and accused Fang Qinzhi of talking nonsense; only a few of them were stunned, and they had no idea why.
"Nothing! Nothing! There are strong people around you outside Youzhou, and everything is waiting for development. How can you leave the Lord to take charge at this time? Fang Qinzhi, don't use the method of sensationalism to a serious discussion! What's more... what's more..." Zao Song could no longer hold back. He bowed to Lu Yao with a blue face and shouted: "The Lord has great talent and strategy, so he can destroy the Hu Hu and suppress the northern border. This is the truth that everyone present knows.
How difficult is it to plan for the world's major affairs? How can it be smooth forever? In the past, Emperor Gaozu protected Guanzhong, Guangwu occupied Henoi, and Weiwu stationed Xuchang. They all had deep roots to consolidate the foundation to control the world; advancement was enough to defeat the enemy, retreat was enough to defend, so although they were repeatedly defeated, they ended up helping great things. Please think carefully, it took only two months for you to enter Youzhou, and your foundation was solid? Can people's hearts be attached? Can the city walls be repaired and steadily? Can military orders be unobstructed? Can the garrison be freely dispatched?"
Zao Song was originally an extremely capable administrative official under Wang Jun's subordinate, and was most familiar with various military and political situations. At this time, he said the key points that he thought Lu Yao should pay attention to. As expected, every sentence was in line with the actual situation of the military palace. He took a breath and bowed to the ground again and said, "These are not reliable results yet, and they have not really controlled Youzhou yet. Even if they are far from the requirements of a competent and rank-in-chief official, there are still many shortcomings. At this time, if you listen to the words of villains and plan extraordinary things... Please forgive Zao Song for being despicable and dare not cling to the tail of the horse!"
Zao Song was extremely excited, and his fair face, who was pampered and blushed, had a red beard and hair. This attitude surprised Lu Yao first, and then he was a little appreciated and moved. Zao Song was the son-in-law of Wang Pengzu, and had a very high status in the general's shogunate, and his past behavior was criticized by greed and violent. Therefore, Lu Yao used him, one by one, considering that he was familiar with the local situation but was not a local hero, and the other was because there were too few scholars in the military palace and no one was available for each staff position. Without this, it was impossible to build the team of the military palace in time. However, Zao Song would argue so hard that he was definitely trying his best to consider the military palace. In the later generations that Lu Yao was familiar with, this lord was a manager with personal morality but full of professional ethics.
"Brother Taishang, there is no need to be like this." Lu Yaoli stood up, held Zao Song up with both hands, patted his shoulder and whispered: "Mr. Lu is not Wang Pengzu, and he never intends to plan anything extraordinary. I believe Qinzhi has no such intention. Brother Taishang thought he had misunderstood something, don't panic, don't panic, please be careful not to be impatient."
Zao Song looked at Lu Yao in a daze, but saw Lu Yao with a stern face and scolded Fang Qinzhi angrily: "Can you speak well? Do you have to pretend to be amazing? Why do I want to lead my troops to Luoyang? You have given a reason!"
Fang Qinzhi knew that this was Lu Yao deliberately showed Zao Song, so he cooperated to apologize and salute. When everyone came back to sit down, he continued: "Brother Taichan said that, there are strong men and Hu around outside Youzhou, and there are all kinds of things to be done. There are too many things that we need to do. However, what the Pingbei Military Mansion really lacks is not something we can get in a busy and busy manner in Youzhou."
"Just tell me quickly... what is missing? Is calcium deficiency?" Lu Yao's reprimand was certainly a gesture, but today's meeting took countless circles. Even if he is patient, he is a little irritable.
Fang Qinzhi thought about it and really didn't know what "calcium deficiency" was, so he turned a deaf ear and stretched out two fingers: "What the military government lacks is exactly what you lack of lord, lord, two words: reputation. The lord's rise is rapid, his military achievements have not yet penetrated into the hearts of scholars, and his outstanding deeds have not been spread to the Luoyang court. To gain more reputation for the lord is the current urgent and important task."
