Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Just when Luo Shixin was fighting Ashina Simo, Chen Ying keenly noticed that there were a few unfamiliar faces in the team.And although these two were dressed as cavalrymen, their attitudes definitely didn't look like mere soldiers.

Chen Ying looked at one of the fair-faced people, and looked at the wrinkles on his face. He was probably no less than 40 years old, but he didn't have a beard. There was only one answer—a eunuch born in the palace.

"This father-in-law, I don't know how to call him?"

"Elder-in-law, our family really dare not stand in the way!" The middle-aged man with a feminine appearance, beardless lips, and a woman's white face said with a half-hearted smile: "We are the housekeeper, Guan An Xing, and the servants have met Chen Da. General!"

In the Sui Dynasty, the internal servant supervisor was still the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but in the Tang Dynasty, when the province was reduced to a prison, the ranks of all eunuchs were downgraded.Lang Guan can be regarded as a relatively low-level eunuch in the internal servant prison.He is much younger than Chen Qi, the fourth-rank regular attendant.

An Xing pointed to the curious soldier who was training with the Mo Dao Army and the Hook and Scythe Spearmen, and said, "This is Zhong Zhongming, Fang Silang of the Ministry of War!"

Hearing this name, Chen Ying almost choked on his own saliva.

Unexpectedly, this Wen Zhengming was a person with extremely poisonous eyes. He caught the strangeness in Chen Ying's eyes instantly, and asked curiously: "General Chen, have you ever heard of being an official?"

Chen Ying shook his head.

Wen Zhengming knew what was going on, so he didn't ask.

Although An Xing, the servant, and Wen Zhengming, the military commander, Chen Ying already knew that the Dongfeng he was waiting for had actually arrived, and it didn't matter whether it was Dongfeng or not.

Wen Zhengming is a doctor of Fang Si in the Ministry of War, and he is the fifth grade. He came here to inspect military achievements on behalf of the Ministry of War; the minister An Xing was a bureau official waiting for prison, and An Xing came here to serve as the supervisor of the army.

An army without a supervising army is actually very rare in this era. Chen Ying leads an army of more than [-].

However, Li Yuan underestimated Chen Ying too much. Even though Chen Ying had never studied political struggle, he had watched a lot of TV dramas and movies. If a general, especially a general with great achievements, wants to live a long life, he must first understand Advance and retreat, know the general situation.You can only do what the emperor asks you to do, and you'd better keep to yourself when he doesn't let you do.

Having a supervising army means that Li Yuan is ready to give Chen Ying a more difficult task.

Chen Ying understood very well. After all, he took care of a family, and he did not simply use the self-awareness of those under him, but also relied on supervision.Now that Li Yuan asked An Xing to supervise the army, it meant that Chen Ying would gain weight.

At this time, Luo Shixin and Ashina Simo had finished their fight. At this time, Luo Shixin's back was covered with snow, and it was obvious that he fell more than once. Of course, Ashina Simo didn't take advantage of it.

Ashina Simo's eyes were black, and the skin on the corner of his mouth was cut, bleeding a little.

Luo Shixin patted Chen Ying on the shoulder and said, "Not bad, you fought beautifully in the two battles in the northern plateau of Hangu Road!"

"It's not enough, if Brother Luo can come here sooner!" Chen Ying pointed to the Hangu Pass city in the distance and said with a smile: "We can already drink in Hangu Pass."

Chen Ying laughed, and gestured to lead the crowd to the big tent of the Chinese army.

This time An Xing and Wen Zhengming brought the imperial court's reward.However, the two good news and the captured gold were sent to Chang'an City. This time, Chen Ying was not promoted, nor was he granted a title, but was given a boa robe.

The boa robe is the costume of the vassal king, according to the regulations, the five claws are the dragon, and the four claws are the python. Chen Ying's head began to turn sharply. Li Yuan would not give him a python robe for no reason.

Although there were kings with different surnames in the Tang Dynasty, there were many.But if you think about it carefully, except for Guo Ziyi, other people with different surnames don't seem to have a good end.Ordinarily, although I have some credit, but in terms of merit, I am still short of more than 01:30 points.

At this time, Wen Zhengming took out a roll of bright yellow and black rhino horn, and said in a cadenced voice: "The champion general, the guests of the prince of the East Palace, the Duke of Pengcheng, Chen Ying accepts the order!"

Chen Ying also knew the rules of the Tang Dynasty, and immediately bowed and became serious.

"The emperor of the Tang Dynasty said..."

PS: I'm too busy today, so the update is a bit late.I really don't have time to write out the imperial decree, so I'll update it tomorrow!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The political system of the Tang Dynasty was relatively loose, and there was no need to kneel unless there were special periods.Even if it is to accept the order, it only needs to be serious.

An Xing was born as a minister and was very familiar with the imperial decree system.The imperial decree declares the imperial power, and the most sloppy is not tolerated. The texture of the handle is strictly different according to the grade of the officials who receive the decree. The first-rank officials are jade axes, the second-rank officials are black rhinoceros horn axes, and the gold-stamped imperial decrees are used for fourth-rank officials. .

Looking at the imperial decree unfolding, it is Shu brocade weaving cloth, with flying golden dragons on both sides. It is indeed an imperial decree that can only be used for second-rank officials.

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said: "You Pushe, Shangshu Youpushe, Daoxingtai Shangshu in Eastern Shaanxi, Marshal Marshal Ma Bingma, Deputy Marshal in Eastern Shaanxi Daoxing, Guest of the Prince of the East Palace, and Champion General Chen Ying have made outstanding achievements since he led his troops to the Eastern Expedition. The censor, to appease Henan, as an encouragement..."

This memorial is written very straightforwardly, without rhetoric.However, Chen Ying is still confused, what's going on?Why did I have another official.

Govern the book and serve the censor.Qin Zhi, also known as the censor who governs the book, and the censor who holds the book, is referred to as the censor and the censor.In other words, Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty ordered two servants to manage books (management of books and documents), so it got its name.In the period of Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, because Li Zhi's Zhi character was taboo, the official name was changed to Yushi Zhongcheng, and he was the second official of Yushitai.

Although this was a small official from the fifth grade in the Tang Dynasty, he was a lowly but powerful official.Now Chen Ying appeases Henan with the right servant of the Shangshu of Xingtai, Daoxingtai of Shaanxi Province, and the imperial censor of Zhishu.

Many people think that the appeasement envoy was an official position invented only in the Song Dynasty, but in fact this is wrong.In fact, in the early years of the Sui Dynasty, there was a pacification ambassador who served part-time as the marching commander.In the early Tang Dynasty, ministers were sent to inspect war-affected or disaster-stricken areas, known as appeasement envoys.At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Yanzhi was the special envoy for various disasters and injuries and the use of troops.Later, he gradually became the chief officer in charge of military affairs and security in all walks of life, and concurrently served as magistrate and magistrate.Generally, the most important state governors from all walks of life also serve as appeasement envoys, and if they are above the second rank, they are called "appeasement ambassadors".The appeasement envoy is in charge of the military and civilian affairs along the way, has the right to "do things cheaply", and actually becomes the first chief officer of the way.

Chen Ying, the appeasement envoy, naturally did not have as much power as the appeasement envoy of the Song Dynasty. However, it is undeniable that since Chen Ying received this imperial edict, he has become a legendary official in the frontier.He is now serving as the right servant of Shangshu Youpushe of Xingtai of Shaanxi Province and the Marshal of Deputy Capital of Shaanxi Province Bingma to appease Henan.

Of course, this Henan is not the Henan Province of the later generations, but refers to the Henan County, which was established in the Sui Dynasty. Eighteen counties including Hun, Yique, Xingtai, Goushi, Songyang and Yangcheng.

The 27 people in the eighteen counties of Henan County have become the people under Chen Ying's rule.

Chen Ying thought about it for a while, and found something other than the imperial decree.Henan County is Henan County, but Luoyang is not included.Except for the three counties of Shan County, Taolin County, and Yanxiang County, the other fifteen counties are still controlled by Wang Shichong, and Chen Ying can fight and govern.However, Chen Ying should not use his brain for things outside the fifteen counties.

The fat in Luoyang was reserved for Li Shimin, but Chen Ying understood Li Yuan's approach. No matter what, his son was for his own good, besides, Li Shimin and Li Erlang were really good.

Being able to manage the army and the people, Chen Ying also knew that this was the best treatment Li Jiancheng could get for him so far.

However, this also just shows that the wind direction of the court has really changed.

"So, the direction of the wind has changed?" Chen Ying asked pretending to be ignorant.

An Xing smiled and said: "When we came out, Your Majesty praised General Chen very much. I hope you will lead the East Palace Zuo Si to fight a more beautiful battle in Henan..."

Chen Ying also understood at this time, a beautiful battle is not a winning battle.Sometimes, losing a battle can be a beautiful battle.What Li Yuan really hoped was that Chen Ying could understand the general situation and advance and retreat together, just like when he was fighting the northern plateau of Hangu Road, but it was just a battle of spirits.Now I will give you the official position of serving the censor, that is to say, Chen Ying can be in the court in the future, and criticize anyone who doesn't like him.Even Pei Ji, the most popular person in the dynasty, can be impeached. As for Pei Ji's charges, the key depends on Li Yuan's attitude.

Chen Ying was very happy. This official position was tailor-made for him. He didn't feel pain in his back when he stood up and talked, and it was definitely his strong point to make sarcastic remarks next to him.

If Li Yuan knew that Chen Ying regarded Datang's current vice-official censor and the future censor Zhongcheng as a mouthpiece that would not bother his back when he stood up and talked, Li Yuan would probably vomit blood with anger.

In fact, Li Yuan's appointment was not as unbearable as Chen Ying imagined.As an emperor, although he has selfishness, the whole world belongs to him, how can he be too fussy?Yu Yanzhang, the guard of the left prison guard, gave Li Yuan a very important news. In Lingzhou, a place where nothing shits like a bird, Chen Ying established eighteen towns with more than [-] people. Of course, the number of people is not high. Too many, and most importantly, the eighteen towns of Lingwu are very rich.

Almost overnight, relying on opening salt factories, mining iron ore, and coal mining, it is hard to say about other places in Lingzhou, but in Lingwu Shiba Town, every household has more than two cattle, and every household has enough clothes and surplus food. .Guo Zhun's tinplate workshop in Lingzhou City adopted Chen Ying's assembly line method, which increased the production capacity by nearly five times. Currently, it can produce more than [-] briquette furnaces per day.Especially the briquette stove, which is as big as a bucket, is easy to carry, and can be used for heating, cooking, and boiling water.

As the output of this tinplate increases, the briquette stove becomes more sought-after.A briquette stove can meet the living needs of a family of five. The key is the bitter cold outside the Great Wall. In the cold winter, the tent is still as cold as an ice cellar. Putting in a briquette stove and connecting the smoke exhaust chimney, the whole tent immediately becomes Warm as spring.

What's even more rare is that briquettes are much cleaner than cow dung and horse dung. The price of a briquette stove and a sheep is absolutely cheap.

In fact, Chen Ying didn't know that this kind of crap in the streets of later generations would be exchanged for an extra sheep. If businessmen in later generations dared to sell a briquette stove for the price of a sheep, they would probably be scolded to death.But relying on this kind of briquette stove, Lingwu Shiba Town completed the transformation from poverty to well-off in just one winter.

Li Yuan found that the changes in Lingzhou were not limited to this, and there was also a large amount of steel output. Li Daozhen knew the importance of these steels, and would rather sell them to the imperial court at a lower price than to the Turks, at a price that was almost half of the market price. Li Yuan was also very happy to sell it to the imperial court.

When he learned that the changes in Lingzhou were caused by Chen Ying, and that outside Chang'an City, Chen Ying was constructing large-scale construction projects, Li Yuan thought about handing over the fertile land and relatively more densely populated area of ​​Henan County to Chen Ying. governance.As for the official position of governing the book and serving the censor, this is to allow Chen Ying to have the power to act directly at the center, and can also manage the county magistrates and county magistrates who do not obey the orders of the counties below.

In fact, Chen Ying never thought that it was a surprise that he got such an official position.

Chen Ying believes in one thing, when the water is clear, there will be no fish.Taking this opportunity, Chen Ying asked Wen Zhengming and An Xing to give each of them a hundred taels of gold. Of course, they would not dare to accept any more.Yiqianguan said that too much is not too much, and that little is not too little, which is just right.

"Mr. Yang and An Guan's military envoys have come to work hard from afar. Come and drink a cup of tea to warm up." Chen Ying smiled slightly, and said to the soldiers outside the tent, "Make two bowls of the local tea I brought from Taolin."
