Under Wu Sheng's strong intervention, the gates of Yutou City were opened wide, and the two Sima Kui and Lu entered the city. The officials of Yong State held a banquet in Yujun's palace and apologized. The process was of course not that simple, but all parties saw that
Wu Sheng put aside his past grudges and made peace with him.
Yuan Sima came to Wu Sheng with a drink: "Doctor Shen turned the tide. I congratulate Dr. Shen."
Wu Sheng finished drinking and sighed: "At least a month and a half was wasted. With so much time, Huyi and Chengshan have been captured long ago. We should be recruiting soldiers from all over the country at the moment. Even if they are not regular soldiers, they should be considered as regular soldiers.
We can convert the former Xian soldiers into regular soldiers. We have captured so many chariots, so there is no need to consider this issue. In this way, we can get 300 chariots. We can also recruit the monks who are lacking, except for the Baiyue soldiers.
In addition, I also know several other recruiting places, but it’s a pity now.”
Yuan Sima glanced at the officials of Kui, Lu, and Yong who were greeting each other, and said: "I'm afraid it didn't happen for a month and a half. Don't look at the drinking and chatting now. It seems that they are laughing as usual, but..."
Wu Sheng nodded: "Yes, a rift has been created. How can it be made up in a day? It's really tiring."
Yuan Sima suggested: "Don't give in again and again. If you get the position of Zhuguo earlier, you can implement the government earlier. When the time comes, it will be justified. Who dares not to listen?"
Wu Sheng said: "How can it be so easy? I have only been in Yong for six years, and I have no clan support. After all, my foundation is shallow. Others think that I have a prosperous population in Mangdang Mountain, but I mostly rely on Lianshan, Cangwu, and Anuo. This generation
The people of the tribe can be used as sharp swords, but not as beds. Sharp swords can only be used as threats, and beds can calm people's hearts."
Of course Yuan Sima understood this truth, so he said: "With the support of the Yuan family, the Lu family, and the Zhuo family, are you still afraid that you will not be able to control this country?" He was talking about himself, Lu Fang, and Zhuo Wuzi, all of whom were Wu.
Firm allies and supporters of Sheng. Of course, Sikong Yipu, Guolao Yongzifu, Siwei Yongji, etc. usually support Wu Sheng, but they are not as firm as the above three.
As for Situ Zhonggu and Dian Ling Yongzang, it is hard to say, especially with Young Master Fu Yanbing, Superintendent Ma Yin Yongsi, Zuo Lang Xing Yue, etc., there must have been discord.
To be a pillar state, it is necessary to rely on the support of other families, but relying entirely on the support of other families is a tree without roots. Of course, Wu Sheng could consider using Mangdang Mountain and the troops of the three tribes to bully him, but if it really comes to that point,
I'm afraid that the Yuan family, Lu family and Zhuo family will all become their enemies. What's the point of doing this in Zhuguo?
So Wu Sheng lamented that he was tired. He was really tired. The only thing he thought about was that the Yongguo would become stronger and bring more territory and population under its rule, so that he could seize more resources and better protect his home in Mangdang Mountain.
.
During the banquet, under the auspices of Wu Sheng, the Three Kingdoms disposed of the Fish Kingdom. The northern part of the Fish Kingdom, including Yutou City, was merged into the Yong Kingdom, with Yutou City as the boundary, and all the feudal villages in the south were divided between Kui and Lu, and the Yong Kingdom
Kui and Qu took one-third of the population and two-thirds of the land.
The three countries agreed to prepare their military chariots and attack Huyi and Chengshanyi half a month later to build a defense line against Chu in the two places. Among them, Yongguo sent one hundred chariots, and Kui and Lu each sent fifty chariots, totaling two hundred.
At the same time, the three countries need to complete the formation of a second army within the next month, stationed in Yutou City, with a total of hundreds of military vehicles, and can provide reinforcements to Huyi and Chengshan at any time.
Wu Sheng returned to Shangyong and met the king Qingyu. Qingyu rubbed his hands and kept saying: "Thanks to your presence, otherwise I don't know what to do, so I can only sigh in sorrow all night long."
Wu Sheng said: "I have something to say."
Qingyu quickly sat upright, and the historian next to him was lying in front of the long desk, cutting his nails. After hearing this, he quickly picked up his pen and waited with bated breath for the record.
Qingyu said: "You can prepare a detailed explanation."
Wu Sheng said: "In the country's military affairs, the rights and responsibilities should be clearly defined. The army supplies supplies and the Sikong is responsible for recruiting sergeants and the country elders are responsible for them. Leading the army on expeditions is the Sima's responsibility." From now on, the powers and responsibilities must be clearly defined. The Sikong is responsible for logistics and recruiting soldiers.
The elders of the country are responsible. As for the war, don't let others mess with it.
Qingyu blinked his eyes, thought for a moment, and nodded: "I accept it."
Wu Sheng added: "Dayong's country is small and weak, so it can be ordered by the emperor. Anyone who is willing to go to war will be beheaded and directly promoted to the country. Among the people, every year, based on military merit evaluation, thirty people are selected to be promoted to the country.
Among them, those with outstanding military achievements will be promoted to senior officials every year."
Qingyu pondered for a moment and asked: "Every year there is a big review? What if there are no military merits? What if we can't get thirty people together? Three people are promoted to doctors every year. Is that too much?"
Wu Sheng said: "If there is no war, you can go hunting, or you can do military service. Thirty people are the number, and you can become a scholar without any cultivation. Every year, three people are promoted to high officials. In ten years, only thirty people are not many."
Qingyu took a deep breath and said, "Let me think about it."
This is a subversive major policy, and of course it needs to be carefully considered. Wu Sheng nodded in agreement and continued to propose: "I enshrine Jin Youxiang in Mangdang Mountain to the realm of refining gods. This time I went to conquer the state and made many military exploits. I am here to serve as disciple Yanhua."
Although they are Qigong practitioners, they have also made great military achievements. I would like to ask you to worship these two as great officials."
Wu Sheng proposed three strategies, one of which was accepted by the monarch, and the other was non-committal. If this strategy was not accepted or was still non-committal, then there would be no need to mention the matter of worshiping Zhuguo, not to mention that among them was Yan, whom he had planned to promote for a long time.
Hua immediately agreed: "I will accept it."
Wu Sheng said goodbye and left the palace and returned to Yongrentang. The news of his entry into the palace spread like wildfire and immediately spread throughout Shangyong. Yuan Sima rushed to Yongrentang and asked him: "What are you doing? Wait a little longer."
No? You have to use this to test the monarch. The monarch is very determined to worship you as the pillar of the country, so why test it? Of your three strategies, the first one will offend people, and the second one is even more outrageous..."
Wu Sheng asked: "How outrageous? Don't you think it should be? How many years has the monarch been on the throne? Although the way for talents to rise is stronger than before, it is really limited. Without such drastic measures, how can we expand the number of people in the country? How can we attract investment from all over the world?
? Thirty scholars and three officials are promoted every year. In ten years, there are only 300 scholars. Thirty officials are a lot. In the country of Chu and Wu, there are often 3,000 scholars. If you want to survive in front of others, can you do otherwise? I still can
Too little!”
Yuan Sima thought for a moment and said: "When you say this, it really means...are you not trying to test the monarch's determination?"
Wu Sheng shook his head: "What's the point of me testing this? The sooner I raise it, the sooner I let the doctors discuss it. Even if it doesn't work this time, if I raise it next time, the resistance will be reduced a lot."
Wu Sheng's second plan indeed caused a controversy, with support and opposition, and the opposition was quite large. If Yuan Sima, who was persuaded by Wu Sheng, had not supported it, it would have been almost shelved.
But in the end, what was passed was just a castrated version. The king decreed that ten scholars and one senior officer should be promoted every year.
At this time, there were only three days left before the appointment of the Three Kingdoms to join forces, and Wu Sheng set his sights on Huyi and Chengshanyi.
