Chapter Four Hundred and Nine: The Capital of Dawen Returns to Jinzhou
In this silence, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the hall, and then Song Kai, Zou Buyi and Xu Xuanrong walked in one after another.
Seeing Yao Ruoyu's face look ugly, Xu Xuanrong and Zou Buyi understood that he already knew about this, so they didn't say much and went to the right to sit down. Song Kai stood calmly in the middle of the aisle, leaned over and bowed, and smiled and said, "When will Brother Yao come back?"
"Just now," said a coldly cold answer. Yao Ruoyu felt that his tone was too stiff, and he coughed and slowed down his voice. "Kaikai, there are no outsiders here, I'll ask you why?"
Song Kaidao raised his eyebrows: "What?"
His chest was undulating, and Yao Ruoyu took a long time to suppress his anger, vomited turbid breath, and said in a deep voice: "Why?"
Seeing that his anger was at its limit, Song Kai stopped when he saw it was good, and did not continue to tease him, and said calmly: "The financial resources are limited."
"What, what?" Yao Ruoyu was stunned, then looked at Xu Xuanrong and Zou Buyi. Xu Xuanrong still sat upright if he had not seen him. Seeing this, Yao Ruoyu turned his eyes and locked on Zou Buyi.
In a civilized clothes, Zou Buyi lamented in his heart that the prince above had forgotten his true feelings, stood up and shook his sleeves, telling the reason why Song Kai massacred so many families.
After he finished speaking, Yao Ruoyu's face became complicated. He narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a long time before frowned, "So you have already made plans to take the blame?"
As if he was amused by his words, Song Kai grinned his lips and nodded: "In the past, there were only Hezhou, and the Ministry of Justice did not have much business. Now we have Sichuan and Shu, and the affairs will inevitably be complicated. Working hard will definitely affect the improvement of cultivation. I wanted to resign. This time I can go with the flow and resign as the Minister of the Ministry of Justice."
After grinding his teeth, Yao Ruoyu did not blame him. He was a protector. Those aristocratic families had funded Wanyan Kuangtao, and it might have been too much to destroy the family, but after knowing the reason, he lost his anger.
Relying on the back of the chair, Yao Ruoyu calculated and nodded: "Forget it, summon all the ministers into the palace."
When Chen Meng heard this, he quickly got up and went outside to pass the order. Not long after, officials such as Bai Junru, Bai Qiuyu, Duan Chun and others rushed in and divided six columns. In addition to the five ministries of officials, etiquette, households, punishments, and work, Hu Xian, Li Huan and others were separated from guests. Only Yang Renjie and others were not present because they were in charge.
After a few simple words, Yao Ruoyu sat upright on the dragon throne and listened to Bai Junru reporting on the current situation of Wenbang to him.
At present, there is a total of one prefecture, sixteen counties, and sixty-one counties in the city-state. Among them, the county magistrates in Nanchong, Suining, Dazhou and Guang'an have been decided, but the other county magistrates have not yet decided on their candidates.
In addition, because Li Yilin and others have been promoted to the fifth realm, the Beast God Camp, Sequoia Camp, Han Iron Camp, and Divine Eagle Camp have all been upgraded to the level of military towns, and the number of people has expanded from the initial three thousand to nine thousand.
At present, the Thunder God Army, the Rock Tiger Army, and the Red Shirt Army are in charge of the states in northern Chengdu, while the Beast God Army, the Han Iron Army and the Divine Eagle Army are in charge of the states in southern China.
After a report lasted for several hours, Bai Junru finished his speech and returned to the list, Bai Qiuyu came out and bowed, and said solemnly: "Report to the prince, over the past few days, more than a dozen sects in the Jianghu Dynasty have sent people to the Song Dynasty. According to their intention, they wanted to move the sect's sect to my Dawen. This matter is a bit tricky, and my subordinates dare not deal with it themselves."
Frowning, Yao Ruoyu said in confusion: "They are moving to our Dawen? Why?"
Seeing Bai Qiuyu shook her head blankly, Yao Ruoyu thought about it and suddenly looked at Zou Buyi. The latter was hiding behind him. When he saw his gaze, he immediately sighed with a grievance and explained: "It is said that the person with the destiny of a demon dragon is the Great Wild Dragon and Snake, the grass-roots emperor in the martial arts world."
Tickling his head, Zou Buyi continued, "The prince's destiny of the demon dragon was exposed that day. Most of these people have heard of it and want to follow the prince, so they want to move their resident to my Dawen."
"I understand." Nodded. Yao Ruoyu saw that Bai Qiuyu had nothing to do, so he waved his hand to signal him to return to the team.
Then Xu Xuanrong, Song Kai and Duan Chun came out in turn to report on the work of the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Justice, and Ministry of Works these days. Xu Xuanrong had just returned and didn't say much. Song Kai only said a few words, but Duan Chun said a lot.
Mainly, with the increase in the number of soldiers in the army, thousands of sets of armor and weapons were needed to be built at once. The number of blacksmiths in the Ministry of Works is limited and it is difficult to complete in a short period of time. I hope to recruit craftsmen from all over the country to help.
When several ministers reported earlier, Yao Ruoyu quickly wrote something on a piece of paper. When the few people finished, he shook the white paper that had not dried ink and handed it to Chen Meng.
The latter understood and reached out to take the latter. He took a few glances before clearing his throat and reading it out loud.
"By my king's order..."
Speaking of this, Chen Meng, Fan Difei and others were already laughing and almost laughed out loud. Fortunately, they knew the occasion and went back in time.
"First, my Dawen conquered the Jin Kingdom this time, and the soldiers of the army sacrificed their lives and forgot their lives. Only then did my Dawen have the grand atmosphere today, and he must reward his contributions. Otherwise, the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies of Han will be ordered to count the merits of the Ministry of Revenue and the reward will be issued after the end of the year, and we must not be slackened."
Bai Qiuyu bowed solemnly when she heard this, and said in a deep voice: "I will receive the order!"
"Re-dividing the regional hierarchy plan of Wenbang, setting Chengdu as the city-state government, and controlling the fourteen places of Suizhou, Shunzhou, Hanzhou, Mianzhou, Dazhou, Quzhou, Yazhou, Meizhou, Zizhou, Rongzhou, Jianzhou, Jiazhou, Xuzhou, Luzhou, and the fourteen places of Wenwangfu, all five departments moved to Chengdu."
"The new Yuzhou, Liangzhou and Pengzhou are the special zones, Yuzhou is the original Diaoyu and Hezhou belongs to the land. In the future, the moving county is the priority, and education will be carried out. Liangzhou is the Liangshan area, build Liangshan fortress, and resist the Southern Barbarians. Pengzhou is the place where the literary and artistic army is stationed, and is responsible for military affairs."
When they heard this, Fan Difei and others were fine, but they didn’t feel anything, but people of this era, such as Bai Junru and Bai Qiuyu, were all a little more comfortable.
In the past, the positions of ministers, directors, city lords, etc. were mostly based on modern sayings. Although Bai Junru and others accepted it, they always felt strange. Now they have all become positions of prefectures, county magistrates and other magistrates that were only available in ancient times. Although there is no interest influence, everyone still feels comfortable.
"Second, Shu Palace was renamed as Wen Palace, and the Tiance Army was set up to station in Chengdu and Wen Palace, and Chen Meng was appointed as the commander. Ruili Palace was renamed as Qiantian Palace, which was the place where our Dawen will meet in the future."
"Third, establish Sitian Mansion and Tiance Mansion. The former is led by Zou Buyi, a staff member of the Wenwang Mansion, performing divination, heavenly time and astrological positions. The latter is led by Cai Xudong, responsible for statistics and management of various sects in the Wenbang territory. All guests are included in the Tiance Mansion. All sects who want to build a resident in our Dawen need to go to Tiance Mansion to register. Those who violate the order can send troops to conquer."
"Fourth, the commander of Liangshan Fortress and the governor of Liangzhou were tentatively designated as the magistrate of Diaoyu County Wang Li, and the magistrate of Diaoyu County will make arrangements separately."
"Fifth..." After reading the last one, Chen Meng suddenly paused, looked at Yao Ruoyu in surprise, and then continued, "Song Kai's position as Minister of the Ministry of Justice will be removed from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice Wen Yuancai, the former deputy director of the Department of Mingdian."
Over the past few days, Song Kai has slaughtered dozens of aristocratic families. Not only are the families in Sichuan trembling, but even the Wenbang ministers such as Bai Qiuyu were also cautious, for fear that Song Kai would be displeased during the court meeting, and the whole family would be destroyed.
So at this moment, when Song Kai was abolished as Minister of Justice, his expression showed a little relaxed.
However, before everyone was happy, Chen Meng suddenly continued: "In addition, Yitong Academy is the first institution of great literature. I am plagued by trivial matters. Although I have been temporarily acting as the dean of the director, I rarely intervene. I feel deeply guilty. Song Kai, the former Minister of Justice, is extremely talented and idle. I am especially ordered to be the dean of Yitong Academy, to take charge of the academy on behalf of me and cultivate talents."
As soon as the last order was issued, the hall suddenly became silent, and Song Kai looked up in shock and stared at Yao Ruoyu in a daze.
He smiled at Song Kai, Yao Ruoyu slowly stood up, looked down at the ministers, and said aloud: "Do you have any objections?"
Who doesn't know Yao Ruoyu's personality of protecting the baby? He just didn't expect that Song Kai caused such a storm. Although he was removed from the Minister of Justice, he became the dean of Yitong Academy. Although his status is not as good as that of the Minister of Justice, he is still at the top of Wenbang.
After this incident, everyone further understood Yao Ruoyu's trust and tolerance for Yang Renjie, Song Kai and others.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Yao Ruoyu nodded with satisfaction. Just as he was about to sit down, he saw Bai Junru suddenly stepping out, but it was not his imaginary objection, but he talked about other things.
"Prince, I am the old minister who dares to be brave. My Dawen is now in Sichuan and Sichuan, with strong financial resources. At most, it can support 500,000 elite troops in five years. There are masters from all walks of life. It is a brilliant future. However, this scene is still like the water and moon in the mirror. If you are not careful, you will easily fail."
Yao Ruoyu heard it a little confused and said in confusion: "What does Minister Bai mean?"
Bai Junru said solemnly: "The prince is now twenty-six. If he has changed to an ordinary family, he has already become a child. The prince and the princess have been with him for many years. Why not get married as soon as possible? If he can be happy to have a Qilin son, my great literary power will be consolidated and there will be no worries about future troubles."
Yao Ruoyu's expression was embarrassing, Chen Meng, Fan Difei, Hu Xian and others all burst into laughter. Only Xu Xuanrong's smile froze, and after a moment, he slowly returned to the ridiculous look.
Duan Chun stepped out and bowed, "Minister Bai said so much. I hope the prince should put the country first, get married as soon as possible, and calm the people's hearts."
Seeing that Bai Qiuyu and others were also going to come out to persuade each other, Yao Ruoyu knocked on the table and signaled everyone to be quiet. After a moment of his mood, he nodded: "I know this, I will focus on it. Do you have other things to say? Since it is gone, let's leave the meeting first! Zou Buyi, Song Kai, Xu Xuanrong, and all the guests stay."
Bai Junru wanted to say anything again, but seeing Yao Ruoyu's face was cold, he could only sigh and turn around with the others to leave Qiantian Palace.
After everyone else was exposed, Fan Difei had already jumped to the dragon throne with a laugh and said with a smile: "Brother Yao, how do you feel when you are urged to get married?"
Hu Xian shook his hot figure and laughed: "To be honest! Brother Yao, you are almost thirty years old, why don't you get married quickly? Minister Bai is worried for you!"
While everyone was joking around Yao Ruoyu, Xu Xuanrong stood aside with a smile. Zou Buyi looked at her, raised his eyebrows helplessly, and said, "Prince, call us to stay, what's wrong?"
"Of course there is something, good thing," Yao Ruoyu stretched out his hand and took out the dragon blood fruit from the Qiankun Ring. In an instant, the fruit fragrance in the hall was filled with the extremely rich blood energy. Everyone felt that their bodies were hot and they felt like they were transformed.
"I'll tell you what a god! What a good thing!" Fan Difei widened his eyes and looked at the fruit in surprise.
Li Huan held his chin and said curiously: "What is this?"
Yao Ruoyu briefly explained the battle over the Maowusu Desert, then pointed to Rujian, cut the fruit into several pieces and distributed it to everyone.
Holding the flesh that was only the size of a fingernail, Chen Meng frowned her eyebrows and smiled bitterly: "Is this too small?"
After glanced at him, Yao Ruoyu said angrily: "If you eat the complete dragon blood fruit, you can condense the body only those who are powerful in the seventh realm. Everyone is only in the fifth realm now. It's just right for such a small piece, it's too big. Be careful to burst yourself."
Only then did Chen Meng realize the benefits, and quickly put away the flesh with a silly smile.
Chapter completed!
