Lu Xuan took Lu Yu shopping, and the two of them didn't buy much. The most important thing was to observe the local people's livelihood and understand the people's sufferings. After three days in a row, they learned about Guzang County before returning to the governor's office.
In the study, father and son sat opposite each other.
Lu Xuan took a sip of tea, looked at Lu Yu and said, "We have been getting to know Guzang County these days. What do you think?"
Lu Yu said: "Father, I think the development of Guzang County is very good. The people can have enough food and clothing. There is just one thing that makes me a little dissatisfied."
Lu Xuan asked: "Why are you dissatisfied?"
Lu Yu replied: "As far as we know, the officials who govern Liangzhou are mainly descendants of the powerful families in Liangzhou. According to the arrangement of the father, the powerful families must be controlled or even suppressed. But now,
Their strength continues to increase in the process of governing Liangzhou."
Lu Xuan smiled softly and explained: "Your consideration is good. This is indeed the case. However, the current situation also has a certain special background."
Lu Yu asked: "What do you mean, father?"
Lu Xuan said: "When Jia Xu was governing Liangzhou, the number of poor scholars trained by the Five Classics Hall was relatively small and could not support the reform and governance of Liangzhou. If Jia Xu wanted to govern Liangzhou and stabilize Liangzhou, he must rely on Liangzhou.
The powerful sons of Liangzhou first governed the local area and made Liangzhou develop."
"Otherwise, if you worry about this or that, Liangzhou will never develop, and the people will not be able to live."
"Judgements at any time must be based on the situation at that time and the most appropriate strategy must be formulated under the circumstances at that time. You cannot deny everything by deviating from the circumstances at that time."
"Of course, the problem is still a problem and it does need to be solved."
Lu Xuan said: "You mentioned that there are many powerful families in Liangzhou. Now that the place has developed and there are more people studying, we can start to slowly adjust it. In fact, in recent years, the number of scholars in the Five Classics Museum has increased, and the number of scholars has also continued to increase.
Arrange it somewhere."
Lu Yu said: "Father is wise!"
"Report!"
Xu Chu entered and reported: "Your Majesty, Jia Xu wants to see you."
"please!"
Lu Xuan gave an order.
Xu Chu went to notify him. After a while, Jia Xu entered the study and saluted: "Your Majesty!"
Lu Xuan said: "What's wrong with Wen He?"
Jia Xu said seriously: "I am reporting back to your majesty, it is about the Qiang people. The imperial court is preparing for war with the Western Regions. After the news came out, the Qiang people in Liangzhou also had ideas. They burned the Qiang King's Milu and asked for instructions from Po Qiang.
The county magistrate Jiang Ji, together with Jiang Ji, came to Guzang County with ten thousand Qiang people to take the initiative to participate in this battle."
Lu Xuan asked: "How about this person Mi Lu?"
The Qiang people in Liangzhou are completely stable and everything is under control.
Lu Xuan didn't know the specific situation.
Jia Xu replied: "Reporting to your majesty, Mi Lu is a Qiang, but he has read books, his heart is toward the imperial court, and he has ambitions for fame. Such a person can be used. Furthermore, Mi Lu brought the Qiang people to join the war, and it was precisely because the imperial court
Spending thousands of gold to buy horse bones and setting up a few typical opportunities will completely make the Qiang people return to their homes. If there is a war in the future, soldiers can be drawn from the Qiang people at any time."
Lu Xuan chuckled and said: "Wen He is right. When the 10,000 Qiang people from Milu arrive, I will take a look at the situation of the Qiang people."
Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Lu Xuan asked again: "What is the background of Jiang Jiong, the magistrate of Poqiang County?"
Jia Xu said: "Jiang Jiong is from Ji County, Tianshui County. He is a descendant of the local Jiang family and is very capable. The Qiang people in Poqiang County were in chaos at first. I used Jiang Jiong to go to the local area and he easily stabilized the situation."
Tianshui County Ji County!
Jiang Ji!
Lu Xuan's heart moved, isn't this Jiang Wei's father?
The Tianshui Jiang family is a wealthy family, and this is normal given that Jia Xu vigorously supports the children of powerful families to serve as local officials.
Lu Xuan's heart became alive.
Jiang Ji can be cultivated, and according to Jiang Wei's timeline, he is born now. However, whether it is Jiang Wei or the historical Jiang Ji still needs to wait for someone to come and test it a little bit.
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "I understand. When Jiang Jiong and Mi Lu arrive with their people, I will personally receive them."
"I obey!"
Jia Xu answered immediately.
After Jia Xu reported the matter, he waited for Jiang Jiong and Mi Lu to come to Guzang County.
In less than two days, 10,000 Qiang soldiers led by Jiang Jiong and Mi Lu arrived in Guzang County. The army was stationed outside the city. Jiang Jiong and Mi Lu went into the city hand in hand and went to the governor's office to ask for an audience. After the news was reported, Jiang Jiong and
Mi Lu came to the hall and waited.
Lu Xuan got the news and came to the hall to receive him in person.
When Jiang Jiong saw Lu Xuan, he took the lead and said: "Jiang Jiong, the magistrate of Poqiang County, pays homage to your majesty."
Mi Lu also noticed Lu Xuan. The emperor Lu Xuan in front of him was majestic and mighty. Looking over, Mi Lu's heart trembled and he quickly lowered his head.
thump!
Mi Lu knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Burn the Qiang Mi Lu to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor. Long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"
Lu Xuan waved his hand and said, "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Mi Lu kowtowed and thanked him before standing up.
Lu Xuan read the manual, looked it over and said, "Jia Xu said that you are taking 10,000 Qiang men to participate in the battle against the Western Regions. Is this true?"
Mi Lu said excitedly: "Reporting to your Majesty, I am in Liangzhou. I have long heard that your Majesty is wise and powerful and invincible. I wish I could serve your Majesty earlier and lead your horse to ride for him. Now that your Majesty is going to war in the Western Region, I will
If people dare to petition to join the war, the Qiang people will also join the war."
Lu Xuan was a little surprised.
A mere Qiang man actually spoke some idioms from the Central Plains, and his speech and behavior were not simple.
This man is no ordinary Qiang person.
Lu Xuan thought quickly in his mind and quickly figured out the arrangements for the Qiang people mentioned by Jia Xu. With the help of this battle against the Western Regions, he set up several examples so that the Qiang people could be further naturalized and completely assimilated.
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "Milu, I appreciate your sincerity very much. In my eyes, you are Qiang people, but you are also the people of the Ming Dynasty and my people. I cannot bear your casualties. Once you go up,
On the battlefield, there will be casualties, have you ever thought about it?"
Mi Lu said quickly: "Your Majesty, even if there are casualties, our Qiang tribe will be willing to do so. We only want to serve your Majesty."
Lu Xuan laughed in his heart after hearing this.
Mi Lu is a smart man.
He didn't say what he wanted to gain, he only said that he wanted to work for Lu Xuan, and it was essentially for the benefit. If it wasn't for getting ahead, or for jumping out of Liangzhou, why would Milu bother to fight for life and death?
Lu Xuan promised: "This time the Qiang people participate in the war. As long as they can make meritorious deeds on the battlefield, I will not hesitate to reward them. If I kill five people, I will give them the rank of Wu Commander. If I kill ten people, I will give them the title of Shi Commander."
"If you kill a hundred people, you will be given the position of centurion in the army. Not only that, all the soldiers and their heirs who have done meritorious service will go to school and receive education for free. In addition, if you kill the enemy on the battlefield, you will also be rewarded by the army."
"The Qiang people's rewards for killing enemies are the same as those for soldiers in the army, and they are treated equally."
Lu Xuan said: "You believe in me, and I will not let you down."
call!!
Mi Lu's breathing became rapid.
Be an official!
Children study for free!
This is what he wants. He, the Qiang king who has been burned as a Qiang, sounds majestic, but in fact he is a bastard. Milu has ideas and vision, and is unwilling to stay in a small place like Poqiang County. He wants to
Go to be an official in the Ming Dynasty.
Even a centurion from the Ming Dynasty was very majestic.
Mi Lu looked excited and said loudly: "Your Majesty's kindness, the Qiang people are grateful. All Qiang people will do their best to live up to your majesty's high expectations."
Lu Xuan nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Jiang Ji, and he asked tentatively: "Jiang Ji, are you from Tianshui?"
"yes!"
Jiang Ji answered respectfully.
Lu Xuan asked again: "Have you married a wife and had children?"
Jiang Ji was just an ordinary county magistrate. The emperor actually asked this, which made him a little flattered. He quickly said loudly: "Reporting to your majesty, I have married a wife and had a son. Last month, I gave birth to a son, who was just one month old."
"
Lu Xuan asked again: "What's your name?"
Jiang Ji was even more confused and answered truthfully: "Jiang Wei, the dog!"
Lu Xuan was completely convinced.
It's Jiang Wei.
When he heard Jia Xu's introduction, he had a judgment in his mind, but there were many people with the same name. Now that Jiang Wei was identified, Lu Xuan began to make calculations in his mind. Put Jiang Wei's talent here, and give him a better environment to cultivate him in the future.
Definitely extraordinary.
This can be cultivated in advance.
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "Jiang Jiong, I am going to conquer the Western Regions this time, and the prince will accompany me. The prince lacks someone who is familiar with Liangzhou. Are you willing to resign from Poqiang County and be transferred to work with the prince?"
Jiang Ji's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly became excited and happy.
This time he came to Guzang County, just to bring the Qiang people, and to show his face in front of the emperor, that was the best.
I didn't expect to stay with the prince.
This is really the beginning.
Jiang Jiong put his hands together, bowed ninety degrees to salute Lu Xuan, and said loudly: "I, Jiang Jiong, would like to share the prince's worries."
Lu Xuan nodded, and immediately called Lu Yu over, introduced Jiang Ji, and said: "Yu'er, Jiang Ji is a down-to-earth man and is familiar with the situation in Liangzhou. Now, he will be transferred to your prince's East Palace as an assistant.
Help you with your work."
"My son, I obey!"
Lu Yu answered without thinking.
He had long heard that his father was very accurate in judging people, and now Jiang Jiong and Lu Yu were ready to have a good communication.
Lu Xuan waved his hand and said: "Everyone, go down."
Everyone left, but Mi Lu looked at Jiang Jiong following the prince Lu Yu with envy in his eyes.
In his heart, he cheered up again in an instant.
Although he has a bad background and is of Qiang origin, he will definitely go all out in this war against the Western Regions and make great achievements on the battlefield.
