The Nameless of the Common Clans

At the beginning of the third year of Jian'an, Chen Mo left Xu Rong and Hua Xiong in Xiliang, led his troops back to the court, and formally presented his petition to the court. Border village.

He also promoted Taishi Ci to the Xiongnu Zhonglang General with military merit and sent him out of Zhenyunzhong.

In addition, Zang Hong was dismissed from the post of governor of Xiliang on the grounds of administrative misconduct, and Zhang Ji was appointed governor of Xiliang. Zang Hong temporarily returned to the court and served as minister.

The Ma family has surrendered, Han Sui has been destroyed, and the Qiang people have become much more honest after this defeat. The biggest threat to Chen Mo from the Xiliang army has disappeared, and their majesty has been established. The next step is to show mercy.

After Zhang Ji became the governor of Xiliang, he changed Zang Hong's decree to encourage intermarriage between the two families. He no longer unilaterally only encouraged Han people to marry Qiang women. At the same time, the policy was more biased towards the Qiang people.

After some adjustments, although the effect of the decree cannot be seen for the time being, at least Xiliang will not cause trouble to Chen Mo in the short term. Many Qiang tribes even support Chen Mo because of Chen Mo's move to replace Zang Hong. .

It's the spring plowing season again. Chen Mo can no longer do the spring plowing in Xiliang himself. However, both the craftsman general and the diannong general were sent to Xiliang by Chen Mo. Although the land is vast and sparsely populated, it is not without management. The value of Xiliang, at least in Chen Mo's view, is far from reaching its limit.

"Lord, this is the latest battle report from the Central Plains." In Chen Mo's government office in Chang'an, Li Ru yawned sleepily, smiled apologetically at Chen Mo, and placed a bunch of bamboo slips he had sorted out in his hands on Chen Mo's desk. superior.

Looking at Li Ru, whose eyes were darkened, and then at Jia Xu, who was dawdling about as usual, Chen Mo felt helpless: "Wen You has worked hard during these days when I'm not here."

Jia Xu turned sideways and pretended not to hear. After all, Chen Mo's departure still had some impact. Li Ru had poor decision-making ability and had to come to discuss many things with Jia Xu. Things that didn't need to be bothered had to be discussed with Jia Xu. Jia Xu was a little annoyed that Xu had to discuss it before doing it. The hard work was self-inflicted and did not deserve sympathy.

"This year's spring plowing in Sanfu and Bingzhou does not require large-scale assistance. The main thing is the spring plowing in Xiliang. The tax issue must be explained clearly to the local gentry first. There may be some confusion." Chen Mo looked at the battle report, While saying.

Because of the foundation laid by Dong Zhuo, land-based tax collection has gradually been accepted by people, and even the Central Plains is beginning to use this model.

Think about it, these Guanzhong aristocratic families were seeking death. Dong Zhuo had already agreed to make concessions, but ended up killing Dong Zhuo. After Li Jue and Guo Si took office, they didn't care so much. They used the tax collection method to collect as much tax as they could. After Chen Mo came over, when he continued to implement this tax collection model, Dong Zhuo and Li Guo had helped Chen Mo remove most of the resistance. Chen Mo didn't even waste a word, everyone had already acquiesced.

Regarding the spring plowing in Xiliang, Chen Mo had already sent both the Diannong Zhonglang and the Craftsman Zhonglang to Xiliang as soon as he came back. Zhang Ji would naturally arrange things for these two departments as needed. Chen Mo just mentioned Mouth, taxes here in Xiliang will definitely be reduced this year. The war has just ended, and developing people's livelihood is a top priority.

"In addition, issue a recruitment order to all states in the world, in the name of the imperial court." Chen Mo said while reading the battle report.

"Recruitment order?" Xun You and the others looked at Chen Mo. The recruitment order issued by Chen Mo should not be too simple, right?

"Only looking for talent, not virtue. As long as the court is willing to hire anyone with talent," Chen Mo thought for a while.

This has always been Chen Mo's philosophy in employing people. Otherwise, in terms of both ability and political integrity, Li Ru and Jia Xu would definitely not be hired, not to mention that they are still the main advisers around Chen Mo.

Li Ru and the others were not surprised when they heard this. Chen Mo had always terminated his employment this way. This time, he just clearly told the world Chen Mo's employment standards.

Xun You thought for a while, but didn't say anything after all. The world was in chaos. The king chose his ministers, and the ministers chose their king. Obviously, the method of employing people in the prosperous times cannot be used now, otherwise those capable talents may not be recruited.

"In addition, I am planning to move the imperial court back to Luoyang! What do you think?" Chen Mo looked at the crowd and asked.

Before, Chen Mo stayed in Chang'an. Firstly, because Heluo was empty and the population was declining. Chen Mo had just taken charge of the government and Guanzhong was not stable. Secondly, Xiliang was undecided at that time and might threaten Chen Mo's rear at any time. Chen Mo's main goal at that time was to stabilize the rear, so Chen Mo has stayed in Guanzhong.

But now Guanzhong has been basically stabilized, the people have returned, and Xiliang has been at peace. Next, Chen Mo should consider developing towards the Central Plains. Chang'an is too far away from the Central Plains. If there is any trouble in the Central Plains, even if the information is obtained carefully, it cannot be sent back in time. Many There will be no chance of fighting at any time. Therefore, after Chen Mo pacified Xiliang, he prepared to move the capital back to Luoyang.

"How are you going to move the capital?" Xun You frowned when he heard this. The last time Dong Zhuo moved the capital, he directly destroyed the land of Heluo. Now Guanzhong has finally settled down. If you continue to mess with it, you may be hurt again. To vitality.

"It's good for all the officials in the court to go with them, and it's good to go to Luoyang with the accompanying guards. We can welcome the emperor back to the old capital one day." Chen Mo said with a smile, what did Xun You worry about? He naturally understood that he How could you bear to let the hard work you built up be destroyed?

"It would not be difficult if we just move hundreds of officials and their families." Li Ru thought for a moment and said, "I wonder when the lord plans to move the capital?"

"After the spring plowing, the weather is still cold. There are many old people in the court, so it is not suitable to travel long distances." Chen Mo thought.

"The lord should discuss this matter with the court officials." Xun You reminded him. After all, even if it was an empty shell, the officials in the court were all famous people of the time. Otherwise, there would be no way to support this court without an emperor, forcing Cao Cao not to dare to give away the three officials and nine ministers.

"That's natural." Chen Mo nodded with a smile.

"In addition, I wonder who the lord wants to keep in the three auxiliary areas?" Li Ru asked.

"What do you think of my teacher being the governor of Sizhou?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

Although there is some meaning of using people as relatives, others can't say anything about Zang Hong's words. Others may not understand, but they know very well that this time they were able to quickly pacify Xiliang, and it was really because Zang Hong forced the Qiang people to rebel, forcing Ma Teng and Han Sui to raise troops. Although Zang Hong had faults in terms of political achievements, it was actually meritorious for Chen Mo. This time, he took away Zang Hong's position as the governor of Xiliang, and now he took the position of the governor of Sizhou to compensate, which is much better than the governor of Xiliang.

"There is also the issue of military households." Jia Xu mentioned it on the side. Chen Mo's army now has a very high cohesion because the families are gathered together.

"The families of the generals are taken to Luoyang, and the military households continue to stay here." Chen Mo said that hundreds of thousands of military households have just settled down not long ago. It is definitely impossible and unnecessary to migrate now. Now that Xiliang is stable, Guanzhong belongs to Chen Mo's rear base and is the safest place. Putting it here will also make the soldiers feel at ease. Besides, I am afraid that Heluo can't accommodate so many people at once.

Migrating is not a trivial matter. Although it is just migrating officials and their families, there are many issues to coordinate, which cannot be accomplished in one day.

The war report from the Central Plains has been much calmer since Cao Cao defeated Liu Bei. Sun Ce defended Jiangdong and completely drove Yuan Shu's forces out of Jiangdong. Across the Yangtze River, Yuan Shu could not do anything to Sun Ce. When he turned around, Liu Bei was also destroyed by Cao Cao. Yuan Shu asked Cao Cao for Runan, but the envoy was politely driven out of Juancheng by Cao Cao.

When he wanted to send troops to attack, Yuan Shu was shocked to find that he only had two counties left. He could only ask Yuan Shao for help. Although the two Yuans had fought before, they were all from the old Yuan family. Now that Yuan Shu was willing to bow down, Yuan Shao was naturally willing to accept him. Moreover, because of the issue of the emperor, there had been some unpleasantness between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. The two families, who were originally allies, had begun to gradually turn against each other.

After Cao Cao captured Xuzhou, he also began to prepare to move the capital. Juancheng was too close to Yuan Shao. At the beginning, it was to prevent Chen Mo from snatching people, so the capital was set in Juancheng. But now he and Yuan Shao are gradually at odds. Although it is not to the point of going to war, Cao Cao still thinks that the emperor should be moved elsewhere first. After discussing with everyone, he finally decided to move the emperor to Suiyang.

Suiyang is the county seat of Liang State, and it is also a relatively central location of Cao Cao's rule. At present, it is more suitable to be the capital of the court.

After all, although Xuzhou was taken, Sun Ce had gradually become powerful in the south. On the contrary, Yuan Shu was no longer a threat to Cao Cao, and he did not want to turn against Yuan Shao immediately, so he did not take advantage of the situation to destroy him, but left Yuan Shu to contain Sun Ce.

If Sun Ce killed Yuan Shu, there would be a fatal problem. No matter what, Sun Ce was a general of Yuan Shu, and the soldiers he initially used to sweep across Jiangdong were also given by Yuan Shu. It was no problem to break away from Yuan Shu, which was given by the court, but if you want to kill Yuan Shu, it would be lord slaying!

Cao Cao used Yuan Shu to check and balance Sun Ce, and then sent envoys to make friends with Yuan Shao, indicating that he had no intention of being an enemy of Yuan Shao, and wanted to work with Yuan Shao to jointly attack Guanzhong and defeat Chen Mo's pseudo-court.

But on the other hand, Cao Cao sent people to secretly contact Chen Mo, hoping to fight against the strong with the weak. After all, in terms of the troops that can be mobilized, Yuan Shao is now definitely superior to either Chen Mo or Cao Cao.

Of course, Chen Mo and Yuan Shao were not fools. They knew Cao Cao's character. They agreed to Cao Cao and joined forces to occupy the Central Plains first.

In the end, although they all agreed, Cao Cao, Chen Mo, and Yuan Shao did not move.

"This is the disadvantage of the three-legged tripod!" Cao Cao and Chen Mo had similar feelings. If there was one less hero in the Central Plains, the problem would be acute, but it would also be much simpler. Two heroes would stand side by side and the problem would be solved. It would not be as complicated as it is now.

I went out for a drink last night and was unable to update. In addition, I was recently transferred to work with the leader. I am afraid that I can't continue to update three times. I will update twice for the time being. I will take a look at the situation.
