Pi Wan led his troops to capture Yuancheng without any bloodshed, and there was no disturbance in Yuancheng. The magistrates, lieutenants, and prime ministers of Yuancheng were all locals of Yuancheng. After being deprived of their positions, no one thought of returning to Daliang to report to the King of Wei. Instead, He became a wealthy householder in Yuancheng on the spot. When Chen Si and others saw this, they reported it to Zhang Lu, and ignored them and treated them as ordinary citizens.

As the magistrate of the Yuan City, Chen Si did not care much about the affairs of the Yuan City. He wandered around every day, chatting with merchants, farmers, and elders. All county affairs were handed over to the Wei and Cheng. As the county magistrate, Mang Wei did not pay much attention to government affairs and economy. He often handled military affairs; interestingly, Yuanwei, who was promoted by Pi Shicheng, was more interested in government affairs. He simply made a tacit understanding with Mang Wei that you were in charge of military affairs and I was in charge of political affairs. So no one in Yuancheng's troika was involved. Their own affairs: Wei and Cheng secretly promoted one level to become Linghe Wei, while the county magistrate Chen Si did nothing every day and only took two officials and five soldiers to visit the wise and old in the countryside!

The officials in Yuancheng are all the same people. The county soldiers in Yuancheng are limited, only a hundred people, who form a separate team. Originally, the county captain was the nominal soldier, but now the number of soldiers in Yuancheng has reached a thousand. Nominally it was under the control of Yuanwei, but in fact Mang Wei was in charge, and no one was sent to be a doctor. Although Chen Si did not become a military soldier, he went to Daliang to take the military soldier examination, and stayed with Hou Ying for two or three years. , can be regarded as half a soldier. Speaking of his experience with the soldiers, the soldiers in Yuan County who were from the Wei Dynasty all admired him and had a close feeling with Chen Si. Chen Si went to the countryside every day and learned from the local soldiers. Picking people to follow is different every day. Others train with Qin Zu.

It is actually unnecessary for a thousand soldiers to defend a small county. The reason why so many soldiers are left is mainly to deter those with evil intentions. After Chen Si wandered around for a few days, he roughly understood the surrounding situation. , most people didn't even know that the county magistrate had been changed. When Chen Si came down, the county informed the township, the township chief, and the township chief didn't think it was strange, and continued as usual, thinking that it was the newly transferred county magistrate.

The first order issued by Yuan County was to send officials to Anyi to learn Qin laws. Li Bing, the captain of Anyi, was proficient in Qin laws and taught them in person, and arranged for them to actually handle the government affairs of Anyi. In this way, the affairs of Anyi were also handled by someone. Zhang Lu and Zheng Anping both respected Li Bing's knowledge, and they often listened in when he lectured. Li Bing wisely introduced to everyone: This is Anyi Shou, and the Prime Minister personally supervises the school.

After being so quiet for about half a month, Daliang sent an envoy to teach Yuan County and was arranged to stay in Guanyi. Chen Si suddenly felt a childlike innocence and wanted to tease the envoy, so he went directly to Guanyi to talk to the envoy. After meeting, it was discovered that the envoy obviously did not know the leadership team of Yuan County, and there was nothing strange about him when he met Chen Si. Chen Si was overjoyed, and when he came back, he and the other two people worked together and decided to carry out the counterfeiting to the end.

The next day, Chen Si personally drove to Guanyi to take the envoy to the county government. All county officials greeted him as usual. Because of Chen Si, Mang Wei also spoke fluent Daliang dialect; although Yuan Wei was from Qin, he had lived in Jin for a long time. It was no problem to occasionally answer a sentence or two in Jin accent. The envoy did not raise any suspicion. He completed the task, ate the banquet, received the gifts, and left. The specific matters of the reception were naturally handled by the old officials. Ripe!

Chen Si received the almanac and immediately reported to Anyi: The news of the change of hands in Yuan County had not reached Daliang. Daliang sent envoys to confer the almanac and handed it over to Anyi. Soon Anyi reported back, and Daliang envoys arrived. , immediately reported to the county magistrate, and should not act without authorization! Chen Si and others felt a little unhappy.

The Qin calendar is different from the Wei calendar. The Qin calendar starts with the tenth month, and the Wei calendar starts with the first month. So the Qin calendar was issued a few months ago, but the Wei calendar has only arrived now.

Then a difficult matter arose: the Wei calendar New Year was coming soon, should Yuan County be allowed to celebrate the New Year according to the Wei calendar? Since Yuan County had not been returned to Qin for a long time, in October, Yuan County did not celebrate the New Year according to the Qin calendar.

If you fail to celebrate the Wei New Year, you will lose an important opportunity to have fun with the people and appease people's hearts; but if you celebrate the Wei New Year, you will be suspected of treason!

When Yuanxian found out that the village was preparing for the festival, he reported the matter to Anyi. Within a few days, Anyi replied: "There is a custom in Yuanbie. If you have an official, you just obey it and say no to it."

With the approval from Anyi, Yuan County boldly began to prepare for the New Year celebrations. Chen Si led people around the countryside every day, frequently participating in the township's New Year's Festival and community sacrifices. The county also had the participation of county officials to prepare for the county festival. In the city

The wealthy households offered pigs, sheep and other items, and the most active ones turned out to be the original Yuan Ling, Wei, and Cheng. Upon seeing this, Chen Si immediately ordered the three of them to serve as sacrificial wine, ministers, and ministers, in charge of the specific matters of the county festival.

Those who contributed money and effort were listened to what they said. The three of them took the opportunity to extort some money from the township, but because Chen Si frequently appeared in various townships, they were generally restrained.

On the day of the county festival, the leading figures from each township arrived. Chen Si, Yuan Wei and Mang Wei officially appeared in front of the squires from all over the country and offered sacrifices to the mountains and rivers. The raging fire burned half of the sky red.

The whole air was filled with the fragrance of meat and millet, and everyone spread rumors that the ancestors and gods must be very happy. In the midst of the joy, all the villages shared the sacrifice of wax.

A few days after the celebration, Guanyi came again to report that another envoy from Daliang had arrived.

Chen Si was shocked and immediately sent someone to report the matter to Anyi. At the same time, he went to Guanyi to inquire about the envoy's intention.

When the envoy saw Chen Si, he looked a little surprised and asked, "Do you want to give him a new appointment?"

Chen Si replied: "Of course, spring will arrive this year."

The envoy asked: "Where is the order?"

Chen Sidao: "See you in the city."

The envoy asked: "Do you dare to see me?"

Chen Sidao: "Your Majesty, are you an old acquaintance of your old order?"

The envoy hurriedly said: "But I need an ear!"

Chen Sidao: "I have sent you to my county, and my county has lost its respect. I hope you will be kind to me!"

The envoy felt that the county magistrate must have something against him. When a new magistrate has just taken office, he is most taboo about others not trusting him and talking about his predecessor. The envoy knows this very well. The magistrate in front of him must have misunderstood in this regard.

Thinking of this, the envoy quickly burst into laughter and said: "How dare I! I just entered the post, and my order came in person, which shows our friendship!" Then without waiting for Chen Si to ask questions, he explained his purpose of coming to show his goodwill.

Chen Si said: "I have been ordered by the king to build an arsenal in the border town. The wall is located in Lishan Mountain, and the hardware comes out. It is an important place for the arsenal. This is why I am entrusted to the order."

After hearing what the envoy said, Chen Si was secretly happy, but with a hesitant look on his face, he said: "The number of soldiers who can defeat the enemy is no more than 10,000, and the number of regular soldiers is only a hundred. Even if we set up an arsenal, what will happen if we have so few soldiers?"

The envoy said: "Zhao had Wu'an and Han had Tangxi, both of which were military depots. Wei originally had Anyi, where salt and gold came from, but now they are lost. The only ones close to them are Yuan. There are few people in the Yuan area, but the land

There is a lot of gold, and I am working in the deep mountains, cutting down trees to get gold. I am afraid that Yuan is rich and common, but only for a moment! I am afraid that the new appointment will not know it. In terms of acres of land, Yuan is not enough to compete with the counties. The winner will be in Jin

Yes. But there are many weapons in the world in recent years, and I am afraid that Tangxi will not be enough to add them!"

Chen Si looked at the envoy with suspicion, as if he didn't believe what he said. The envoy said: "Arsenal Duanzi, a Korean, is good at metalworking, and he makes weapons by drumming furnaces on large beams. Wang Shexi. Nai Ling The world will imitate it.”

Chen Sidao: "What are the tools, how much work is required, how much does it cost, and how much is the annual income?"

The envoy said: "Don't worry about it. The establishment of the arsenal is based on the method of the master of planning and style. All the expenses are spent on the beams, and the walls are only for grain and mosses."

Chen Si couldn't believe that such a good thing could happen, and asked: "Where is the work style? Where is it established?"

The envoy said: "It depends on whether the order is approved or not. If the order is granted, the construction pattern will be developed overnight."

Chen Si didn't dare to show his overjoyed expression and said: "How dare you say goodbye if you are diligent in the king's affairs!"

The envoy said: "That's what the order said. If the order is relinquished, I'm afraid that the new order will be reinstated!"

Chen Si settled the envoys, hurried back to the county, and immediately discussed with the Wei and Cheng. Everyone could not believe that such a good thing would happen to the world. If the copper and iron smelting industries were built with the support of Daliang, not only would Yuancheng and Bianhedong are all in trouble!

Chen Si sent people to Anyi again to report the news to Zhang Lu and others. All three of them decided that they must keep the copper and iron industry. They spent the whole night together for this purpose.

The next day, Chen Si personally drove the envoy to the county government and welcomed him into the hall. The envoy took out the documents and read the edict of the King of Wei. The three people complained to the envoy and accepted the edict. The envoy said: "Since the wall has been ordered, I should ask the king to send craftsmen to the wall. There will be hundreds of smelting and casting work, which may cost more than a thousand. I hope the wall can be installed as soon as possible."

Chen Si specially invited the envoy to go around the city, discussed the resettlement plan with the envoy, and told Haoyuan County to prepare food, crops, buildings, and prepare hundreds of workers to enter.

After the envoy left, Chen Si was uneasy, fearing that the matter would be exposed and the Wei craftsmen would not be able to come in. He frequently sent people to patrol the direction of Zhi Road. He also sent people to Anyi to ask for urgent instructions. Finally, a few days later, Anyi finally reported back. He set up the wall to lure Wei craftsmen into the wall; all the guards in Hedong were stationed in Zuoyi, leaving Cheng Anyi. Chen Si secretly thought: It is only thirty or forty miles from Zuoyi to Anyi, so what is the point of so early in advance?

The Qin people did not experience a fierce battle when they captured Yuancheng. After entering the city, they did not cause much disturbance to the people of the city. The Qin law was still being studied at the county level and had not been popularized downwards. At this time, Yuancheng was ostensibly in the hands of Wei There was no difference - except for the thousand Qin soldiers. When the envoy came, these thousand Qin soldiers entered the military camp, and even the routine morning exercises were cancelled.
