Chapter 1675 Fishing in the Empty Mountain

There are considerable reasons why Duhou and Cao cannot control Xia Di alone.

On the one hand, with his military prowess and his cultivation of Taoism, it was easy for the Chu State to be on guard, and all Cao Cao to suppress Xia, making the surrounding neighbors uneasy. Secondly, with the huge prestige of destroying Xia in one battle, it is easy to separate the country and establish a country.

"You Sheng Bi Tan" said, "Jade should not be placed in a fragile place, and how can the name be given lightly to the person holding the weapon!"

The truth has been explained thoroughly.

This has nothing to do with whether Cao Jie is loyal or whether Emperor Qi trusts him.

But any emperor should avoid such problems and avoid giving his ministers undue space.

The governor of Xia Di was not Chongxuan Chu Liang, not Li Zhengyan, not Chen Zeqing, for the same reason.

Jiang Wang, as a great hero in the war against Xia and a person with great prestige in Xia, is actually no exception, even if his current cultivation level is not even threatening.

Su Guanying said that she was waiting for tea, which was of course the master of the place, but in her words, she attributed Jiang Wang to Southern Xinjiang and classified her as one of her own. The heat in this is just right.

Jiang Wang only replied, "I can't help myself." I will listen to the emperor in everything, which can be regarded as a measured answer.

Through these two greetings, the two parties established a preliminary consensus and gained a little understanding of each other beyond rumors.

The emperor forced Jiang Wang to memorize the book, and the book was "Historical Swordsman Cutting the Sea", precisely because time flies, time flies, and there is nothing new in the world for thousands of years. Everything happening today can be reflected in history.

Reading history can make you wise.

The two parties entered the Governor's Mansion and sat opposite each other in the main hall, with no prioritization.

Su Guanying said with a smile: "Wu'an Houxuan came here at this time to support our construction of southern Xinjiang with actions."

Now her attitude became more friendly.

"Jiang is a martial artist who only knows how to use his fists and feet. He doesn't know anything about national construction." Jiang Wang smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest with Su Du, Linzi is too noisy. I just found a place to practice quietly."

"Marquis Wu An was granted the title of Marquis for his martial arts. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a quiet person."

"I just know how much I weigh."

"Isn't it a purple golden beam?" Su Guanying said with a smile on his face: "I look at this huge country. Among the younger generation, no one is heavier than you."

"Don't say that." Jiang Wang waved his hands repeatedly: "Bowang Hou Shisun is much heavier than me!"

There's an attitude among the jokes.

Seeing that he was so unwilling to do anything, Su Guanying pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, before you came here, a governor's meeting was being held here. I think Marquis Wu An didn't like the excitement, so he didn't let them come to see the ceremony."

Jiang Wang stood up quickly: "How dare you disturb the governor's business? Please continue. It is a blessing to see the governor today, so I will take my leave first."

Su Guanying raised her hand and motioned for him to sit down: "We've almost finished what we should talk about. I just want to talk to Marquis Wu An."

She slowly took a sip of tea and said: "At that time, Southern Xinjiang was just settled, and there was a shortage of people everywhere. The Governor was just building the Governor's Mansion. In order to avoid the rebellion of the people and the inconvenience of recruiting too many people from Qi to govern, we had to use the old Xia Dynasty first. Official. But it is difficult to respond to the title. It is easy to have the desire to return to the summer, but it will not last forever. "

Jiang Wang felt troubled when he heard this, and was thinking of finding an excuse to avoid it.

But Su Guanying spoke very quickly, and before he could think of something to say, he got straight to the point: "Now the situation is basically stable, and all the wastes in southern Xinjiang are prosperous. The mountains and rivers are changing, and the old things must be changed. I have informed the emperor that the Xia Di Examination will be held today. Redefining titles and unifying positions... Since Marquis Wu An happens to be at this meeting, why not become an examiner? "

Jiang Wang immediately refused: "Jiang himself is ignorant and has no knowledge of political affairs. How can he be qualified to be the examiner? Southern Xinjiang covers thousands of miles, and the official examination is not a trivial matter. It is related to the well-being of hundreds of millions of people. People with high moral integrity should be the examiners. I don't Dare to mislead others."

"There is nothing more virtuous than being able to suppress disasters, and nothing more prestigious than saving the people." Su Guanying looked at him: "In this southern border, among all the officials in Daqi, you, the Marquis of Wu'an, are the most virtuous and highly respected! If you can't be a minister, who can be? ?”

Jiang Wang said with a bitter face: "Others don't know, how can Su Du not know? How can I suppress disasters and save the people? It's just my luck to get a great name. Duhou uses his troops like a god and knows every plan. In fact, he has it long ago Prepare. Even without me, the disaster will not fall on Jiangyin Plain. You are making fun of me!"

"Not to mention the strategic significance of Duhou saving a trump card. For the people of southern Xinjiang, the person who is responsible for controlling the trouble is Jiang Wangye, the Marquis of Wu'an. This is an established fact and a truth they recognize. As for the rest, It's not important. A consensus has been formed that your prestige in southern Xinjiang is unmatched." Su Guanying said: "Or is it that Marquis Wu An is in his position but unwilling to take responsibility?"

This guy is really awesome.

Before today, Jiang Wang only had a rough understanding of Su Guanying's resume.

The Su family used to be considered a wealthy family, but it has declined since her grandfather's generation. Her father even died in the battle at Haijiang, and the building collapsed.

Su Guanying has been pampered and cared for since she was a child. It can be said that she has never touched the spring water with her fingers. She is longer than female red, likes to plant flowers, is good at poems, lyrics, and beautiful jade.

After her father died in the war, everything changed.

Good times and beautiful scenery all come to nothing.

She put down her flower scissors and needlework, picked up her old armor and sword, and has been stationed overseas ever since.

He said, "Before the age of twenty, you don't know the human heart. After the age of twenty, you know everything about the human heart."

At the age of twenty-five, he became famous in the Battle of Ju Ming Island.

Later, he successively served as the official of the Ministry of Personnel, the governor of Jinghai County, and the lord of Pinglu City behind the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons...

There are outstanding achievements in every term.

At the age of 43, she went to the maze again and killed the True King of the Sea Clan to avenge her father.

Although she took the official path, she became a court official after becoming a real person in the world, not a real person after becoming a court official.

Although there is not much difference in combat performance between the two, and she is also subject to the constraints of the official path. But this is enough to prove that she has amazing talents in both government affairs and cultivation.

And after today, Su Guanying has changed from a beautiful resume to a real person in Jiang Wang's place.

A person with a gentle face, but a firm will, and can implement his own will and achieve his set goals.

For the official path, the political platform is the path, government affairs is cultivation, and political resources are the cultivation resources.

Who can not be tempted when Nanxia is first settled?

There are nine officials in the Qi court, nine commanders in the military hall, and people who have not been added to the two main halls but still have great influence and talents, such as Donghua scholar Li Zhengshu, etc., more than ten people are qualified to compete.

In the end, it was Su Guanying who was the governor of Nanxia and held this huge political resource.

Facing such a person, what can you do to resist?

Jiang Wang had a headache, but he could only ask: "I don't know what the official examination in Nanjiang is about?"

Su Guanying said with satisfaction: "The civil examination and the military examination are parallel, the civil examination is about policy and essay, and the military examination is about practice. Unless one is particularly good in one subject, it is considered to be passed in both civil and military. 'Evaluate the excellent and determine the grade, and eliminate the mediocre', these eight words are the core of this official examination."

"I know nothing about policy and essay, but I can understand a little about practice, otherwise I will be responsible for the military examination." Jiang Wang knew that he couldn't refuse, so he took the initiative to choose one subject and cut off half of his authority.

Su Guanying looked at him and smiled, "Okay."

...

After visiting the Governor of Nanxia, ​​he got a job.

Jiang Wang felt that it was not good.

For those who are dedicated to officialdom, it would be a blessing. Responsible for the official examination in Nanjiang, how many students can be obtained, and how huge the official network can be established.

It will be of great benefit to establish your own political platform and promote your own political views in the future.

Su Guanying is simply giving benefits!

But for Jiang Wang, although he is in the officialdom, he does not rely on the officialdom. So far, all his cultivation has been obtained by his own hard work.

Now that he is fully committed to the officialdom, he can certainly get quite amazing benefits from cultivation and greatly improve the possibility of cave truth. When he wants to get out of it one day, he will have to work hard. He doesn't take it.

On the contrary, the cultivation benefits of the title of Wu'an Hou do not need to be maintained by government affairs. As long as he does not give up the title, he can borrow the national power to cultivate for one day.

Of course, borrowing the national power to cultivate will also produce certain causes and effects. Connect the path of the cultivators themselves with the fate of the country.

When Qi and Xia fought, King Wu Si Jiao asked Changsheng Jun of Nandou Temple to help. It is said that one of the conditions was to lend the country's power for ten years to help him practice. In fact, it was to use the power of Xia to support the Zhenjun strongman and let a Yandao cultivator suck blood for ten years.

I don't know if Changsheng Jun has any unique way to cut off the cause and effect of the country's power, so that he can only enjoy the benefits without taking the responsibility... It should also require the cooperation of the Xia court. If it weren't for the opportunity of the survival of the country, Si Jiao would never have made such a condition.

Back to the matter of the official examination in Nanjiang, Jiang Wang had no intention of managing any students and old officials. Even if the world weaves a network and the whole court is close to Wu'an, what's the use of him not practicing on the official road? Those are Chongxuansheng's strengths, and he just thinks it's too troublesome, and he has lost a lot of time for his own practice.

But the matter has been agreed. As he said, selecting officials is not a trivial matter. It is related to the welfare of hundreds of millions of people. He can't ignore it.

On the way to Chitan, he had been studying the requirements of the Governor's Office of Nanxia for official positions at all levels, as well as the list of examiners given to him by Su Guanying.

As the chief examiner, he could decide the test questions and adjust the list of examiners to a limited extent, which was a great power.

The first principle of the official examination is fairness. As long as this fundamental point is grasped, this official examination can't be too bad. If this fundamental point is lost, the official examination itself will lose its meaning, and the credibility of the Governor's Office of Nanxia will suffer a major blow. In serious cases, it will even shake the rule of Qi Ting over Southern Xinjiang.

From this perspective, Su Guanying's forced capture of Jiang Wang to be the chief examiner can be called a masterstroke.

He directly jumped out of the interference of the military and political environment in Southern Xinjiang and found a candidate who could best implement fairness.

With Jiang Wang's huge influence in Southern Xinjiang today, no one would be dissatisfied with him being the chief examiner. Jiang Wang himself did not work in Southern Xinjiang, and he was also famous for his focus on cultivation, so there was no need to worry about him forming a party for personal gain. In addition, Jiang Wang's good reputation in the past made him feel at ease.

As the first official examination in Southern Xinjiang publicly promoted by the Governor's Office of Southern Xia, it could be regarded as the power of Su Guanying. I don't know how many people wanted to make trouble openly or secretly, but Jiang Wang's arrival solved the problem.

The more Jiang Wang thought about it, the more he wanted to stay away from these people in the Political Affairs Hall. It was too brain-consuming to get along with them, and it was not pleasant at all.

He now even suspected that the time of the official examination in Southern Xinjiang was set by Su Guanying after seeing him. Otherwise, how could there be no preparation except a large list of examiners and the eight-character official examination policy? It was too coincidental to say that this plan was only started today.

"Daxia Fangzhi" said: Chitan is seven hundred steps square, hidden in Laoshan, with clouds accumulating all year round, and thunder snakes touching the water.

It is said that Chitan is hidden in Laoshan, and there are always dark clouds in the sky, and lightning occasionally hits the water surface.

It is a wonder.

"Laoshan" is not a description of the mountain, but the name of a mountain. It is in the west of Guiyi City and is rarely visited.

The Emperor of Qi granted Wu'an Marquis the Chitan, of course, not just an ancient pond for him to fish.

Jiang Wang's fiefdom includes this Laoshan, as well as the nine towns near Laoshan.

According to the household registration book, the nine towns have a total of nearly 300,000 people, which can be independently designated as a city. Of course, because these towns are all based on Laoshan, they are scattered and have poor communication, so it is not realistic to merge them into a city.

Dugu Xiao took over the management of this place, and the affairs he had to face were much more complicated than Qingyang Town. Correspondingly, the power in his hands also expanded a lot-it is worth mentioning that Dugu Xiao transferred the post of the pavilion chief of Qingyang Town to a Zhoutian realm cultivator who later defected. The monk was diligent and efficient, and he became the second most important person in Qingyang Town. As for Zhang Hai, who was determined to refine the magic pill, he was still a servant, reporting on time, eating and waiting for death.

Wu'an Marquis Mansion was built at the foot of Laoshan Mountain, and the full name engraved on the door plaque was "Wu'an Marquis Laoshan Villa".

The Emperor of Qi specially appointed a master craftsman to come to Xiadi to supervise the construction, and it was completed after carefully selecting the site. It cost a lot of money and was unique. This house is located on the mountain and overlooks the water, which is very impressive.

There are some servants in the mansion, and it can run well. For the time being, all the money is paid from the Governor's Mansion of Nanxia.

Jiang Wang came here this time and brought Dugu Xiao to manage the fiefdom. Naturally, he had to recruit more people, and he had to pay for it himself in the future. But these are all things that Dugu Xiao needs to worry about.

When Jiang Wang came from Guiyi City, Dugu Xiao had already directed people to clean up inside and outside.

She was a shrewd person who had seen the world and had a lot of experience. She had been in Qingyang Town for several years and had already trained herself. Although she was new, she handled all the trivial matters smoothly and there were no stupid things like the servants being blind and disobedient.

"Where is Chu Yao?" Jiang Wang asked after walking around the door.

"He went into Laoshan with Lord Lian and said he was going to Chitan to have a look." Dugu Xiao replied.

Jiang Wang was surprised and said, "Isn't he afraid of Lian Que? Why did he follow him?"

Dugu Xiao smiled and said, "Lord Lian called out and he followed. I saw that he didn't dare to follow, but he didn't dare not to follow."

Jiang Wang also smiled and handed the list he brought to Dugu Xiao: "Governor Su forced me to do a job and asked me to be in charge of the official examination in Southern Xinjiang. It's very tiring. Here is the list of examiners. Please investigate as soon as possible and pick out a few reliable ones."

This matter is easy to say, but it is not a simple project. Especially since they were new here, it was hard to find a way to investigate.

Dugu Xiao happily accepted it: "I'll do it right away."

What else can prove the significance of one's existence better than being needed by the master?

Jiang Wang ordered again: "Collect the folklore and legends of the towns under our jurisdiction, and summarize them for me when the time comes... There is no rush for this matter, let's deal with the examiner's business first."

"I know." Dugu Xiao nodded vigorously.

There are exactly nine towns surrounding Laoshan Chitan, which is easy to remind people of the nine towns of Changhe. There may be some secrets in it.

However, the entire Chitan is his fiefdom, so there is no need to rush.

After pushing all the tedious affairs to Dugu Xiao, Master Jiang inspected his mansion in Nanxia with his hands behind his back. He wanted to give some advice on the layout, but Dugu Xiao followed his preferences everywhere, and there was really no problem. Finally, he forced someone to move the lotus pot in the front yard to the back yard, and then he gave up.

Then he leisurely picked up a fishing rod and went to Laoshan.

There is a couplet at the gate of Diaohai Tower, which is very impressive, saying "Remove the hook for the moon".

Today, Mr. Jiang has some free time, so he might as well go fishing in the empty mountain!
