Chapter 634 The current situation of the country is that on the surface it seems that the military is strong and the national strength is at its peak, but in fact, there are many internal problems, and the rampant corruption of local officials is one of the major problems. 78 no pop-up window update fast And the root cause of this problem is still in Tang Yin.
Fengguo is expanding rapidly, and the land it occupies needs to be garrisoned and managed, all along, Tang Yin's principle of employing people is not to pay attention to ability, only to pay attention to loyalty, as long as loyalty is enough, he will be exceptionally promoted, and the most loyal to Tang Yin, and the people he trusts the most, are precisely those soldiers in the army who were born and died with him and fought side by side.
The officers and men in the army were assigned to the local area, serving as the county head and county lieutenant, the county head and county lieutenant, and the city lord, which was very effective in the early stage, these people were loyal to Tang Yin and the Feng Country, and they were desperate, and they could basically do the Feng Country to consolidate a place when they occupied a place, and there would be no large-scale rebellion, and the army fighting in front would not have any worries.
However, with the end of the war, the shortcomings of these officials who had been transferred from the military to politics were gradually exposed.
When it comes to leading troops to fight and charging into battle, they are first-class good hands, but let them govern the localities, all of them are laymen, and they do not have many political achievements, but they have brought the style of the wind army to the officialdom, bullying men and women, embezzling money, and being cruel and tyrannical, and becoming local bullies.
The current territory of the Wind Country is the largest among the nations, but the annual tax revenue is not as good as that of the Ann Country, let alone the Sichuan Country.
Shangguan Yuanji has always been worried about this problem and wants to mention it to Tang Yin, but there are too many aspects involved, and he is not very easy to speak, and now Tang Yin himself raised the problem he saw in Nancheng, and he just took advantage of the topic to play, and put the whole problem in front of Tang Yin.
Tang Yin never knew that there were so many problems in the local area, he was silent for a long time, looked up at Qiu Zhen, and saw that the latter drooped his head and did not speak, he turned his eyes to Shangguan Yuanji and asked: "Yuanji, then how do you say to solve this matter and replace all these local officials who have been transferred from the army to politics?"
"Don't" Qiu Zhen raised his head violently and said: "In this way, these brothers who will make a big mess and serve in the local area have repeatedly made meritorious contributions in the army, and removing them all from their posts for no reason will not only make these brothers feel cold, but also make the soldiers in the army feel cold, and they will be dissatisfied with the king." ” Although the nomination was reported by the commanders of each corps, the final finalization had to be approved by him, the left minister, and then submitted by him to Tang Yin.
As the left minister, he is the head of the wind army, and he is also very considerate of the soldiers in the army, and in his heart, he does not want to remove all these officials who have been transferred from the army to politics.
Shangguan Yuanji nodded, and said with a straight face: "What Qiu Xiang said is extremely true, this matter must be done slowly, not in a hurry, because there may be more than twenty counties involved, and the removal of more than twenty county heads, county heads, and city lords at once will not only cause local chaos and panic, but also may turn these people back, you know, they are all soldiers who have been born in the army and have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they can fight well."
"They dare" Hearing this, Tang Yin's face was ugly, he stood up suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "I gave everything they have today, and now I want to take it back, who dares to rebel" Qiu Zhen hurriedly said: "Yes, these brothers will never rebel, they all crawled out of the pile of dead people with the king."
Shangguan Yuanji shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "In this world, the most transmuted thing is the human heart, those who can share hardships but not wealth and prosperity, but there are many people."
After a pause, he continued: "What's more, they are all generals from the major legions, they are very well-connected in each legion, and they are also the old subordinates and brothers of the commanders of each legion.
Tang Yin subconsciously clenched his fists and bit his lip tightly.
Qiu Zhen hurriedly reprimanded on the side: "Yuanji, don't say it again, do you know it, just by what you just said, there is a fault of turbulence in the hearts of the army and the division of the monarch and ministers." ” Shangguan Yuanji smiled lightly and said: "As a minister, he wants to eat the king's fortune, share the king's worries, and prevent trouble before it burns, Qiu Xiang doesn't care too much about his subordinates" and forgets who the person he is loyal to is.
The second half of the sentence, he didn't say.
Even if it was only the first half of the sentence, it was enough to stab Qiu Zhen, there was anger in his eyes, and he asked: "Yuan Ji said that I am shielding my subordinates."
Seeing that Qiu Zhen was angry, Shangguan Yuanji hurriedly waved his hand with a smile and said, "What are you angry about, I'm just talking about things, the key is to see how the king decides."
As he spoke, he looked at Tang Yin.
He has already explained all the powerful relationships, and he believes that with the wisdom of the king, he should know what to do.
Those officials who have been transferred from the army to politics are not Qiu Zhen's direct subordinates, and there are still the commanders of the various armies in the middle, if they want to move them, Qiu Zhen is still angry, if they really do this, the reaction of the commanders of the regiments may be known, and if this goes on like this, the country will be worried.
Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't make any more noise."
His face changed, and he walked up and down the room, back and forth.
Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji stood on both sides with their heads bowed, the former not forgetting to glare at the latter fiercely to express the dissatisfaction in his heart.
Originally, it was just a trivial matter in Nancheng, or punishment or punishment, you just talked about things, you had to do nothing, and a lot of things were involved, which was difficult to do by yourself, and it also made the king annoyed.
After pacing for a while, Tang Yin stopped, looked at Shangguan Yuanji, and then at Qiu Zhen, he sighed and said, "I still have to think carefully about this matter, and I will discuss it later."
"King, there is an urgency, this matter is related to the foundation of the country, and it must not be delayed" Before Shangguan Yuanji could finish speaking, Qiu Zhen stood up and interrupted: "By the way, the king, I don't know how the king thinks about the division of the Huan territory" When he spoke, he squinted and stared at Shangguan Yuanji, meaning to tell him to shut up quickly.
"I've thought about this, I plan to divide Huiting County and Zhushan County in Huandi into Yuguo, and Baima County and Yishu County in Anguo, what do you think?"
"Huiting, Zhushan, Baima, Yishu" Qiu Zhen took out the map, spread it on the table, pointed his fingers on it, looked at it carefully for a while, he grinned: "This is very good, especially in the two counties of Baima and Yishu in Anguo, which are adjacent to Zhendi, our army can garrison here, nominally to help Anguo defend the land, but in fact, it can be of great use" "That's right, that's what I thought too" Talking about military affairs and future strategies, Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen immediately became talkative, and Shangguan Yuanji couldn't interject at all.
When everything was discussed, seeing that Tang Yin was also tired, Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji both said goodbye to him.
Out of the study and outside, the two of them talked in a whisper as they walked.
Shangguan Yuanji said: "Qiu Xiang, why didn't you let me speak just now?"
"What do you want to say about dismissal, so many officials, and the scope is so wide, you don't have a very good way to do it, and you want the king to do it, since it can't be solved, don't talk about it."
Qiu Zhen shook his head.
"Do you just let it go and sit idly by?"
"The birds are good and the bows are hidden, and the cunning rabbits are dead and the lackeys are cooked.
People still unload the mill to kill the donkey, I am ready to kill the donkey without even unloading the mill in the gale, in fact, the king has already said it very bluntly just now, and I will discuss it later, what do you mean to tell you, this matter, let's talk about it later" Qiu Zhen grinned slowly, revealing two rows of white teeth.
"The foundation is not stable, how can we talk about the great cause in the long run, not only can our country not be able to defeat the Sichuan country, I am afraid, I have to die in my own hands first" Shangguan Yuanji sighed faintly.
"You can even say such things, I think you are going to die."
Qiu Zhen muttered absent-mindedly, and he craned his neck to look at the guards hurrying in front of him.
When the guards were about to run past him, he stretched out his hand to stop the guards and asked in a deep voice, "It's unruly, what's so urgent?"
"Prime Minister Qiu, Prime Minister Shangguan" The guard stopped his body, hurriedly saluted the two of them, and then whispered: "The messenger of the Sichuan Kingdom has arrived, and it is a letter written by the King of Sichuan himself. ” "Oh" Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji were both stunned, the king of Sichuan actually sent a letter to the king, this is really fresh Qiu Zhen asked: "Where is the envoy now, what do you say?"
"The envoy of the Sichuan Kingdom is outside the palace, and he didn't say anything else."
"Well, I know, the king is in the study, let's go" Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji glanced at each other, then turned around and walked back.

King Chuan's letter was not a trivial matter, and they were also very curious about what King Chuan would say in his letter.
When the two of them walked back to the study, Tang Yin was opening the envelope, and when he saw the two of them, he smiled and said, "You two came back just in time, Xiao Xuan sent a letter." ” "The minister has heard about it just now."
Tang Yin took out the letter paper, unfolded it, smiled, and said, "Okay, it's really good." ” Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji and the second monk were at a loss, and the king said yes when he saw something Tang Yin's next words almost made them vomit blood.
"Brother Xiao's handwriting is really good, but unfortunately, I can't read a word."
As he spoke, he held the letter paper between his fingers, handed it to Qiu Zhen, and said, "Read" Qiu Zhen hurriedly took it, looked down, the letter paper was densely packed with words, speaking of which, Xiao Xuan's words were very beautiful, strong and powerful, and quite guarded against, but it was written in wild cursive, not to mention that Tang Yin couldn't read it, even he was very difficult to read, and he needed to be carefully recognized.
He first looked at it from the beginning to the end, and then he was happy, and said, "My lord, this is a letter of salvation and peace.
As he spoke, he read the contents of the letter from beginning to end
