The King of Shuchuan is just a false name, without any real power, and is almost like an ordinary citizen.
This was a saying that had been circulated among the officials of the imperial court.
But now, no one will say this again.
Chen Mu, who was wearing a three-clawed dragon robe, led the remaining three people into the main hall step by step.
"Chen Mu, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Even though the old emperor was so frightened that he ran to Jiangnan overnight, he still looked majestic now.
But I heard him say slowly: "This time the rivers and mountains are safe and the invading Tibetan army was defeated. The King of Shuchuan has played an indispensable role. In order to express your gratitude, I will seal the land of Yizhou to you."
Although it was expected, when I heard it, I couldn't help but feel excited.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
But at the next moment, the old emperor changed the topic again: "But after the two battles between Monan and Tubo, our Longxia army was almost defeated. I heard that there are still 30,000 soldiers in Yizhou, plus 5,000 fine armors under the command of King Shuchuan.
, can it be handed over to the state to guard the border?"
When he suddenly heard this, Chen Mu's face became deeply frightened.
This meaning is too obvious. Do you want to directly relieve yourself of military power?
All the officials present were staring at him.
This battle not only frightened the Tubo people, but also made the Longxia Dynasty fearful.
"I am His Majesty's minister. If there is any need, I will give everything I have."
When he heard Chen Mu agree, the old emperor breathed a sigh of relief.
If he had a choice, he would have liked to have Chen Mu executed immediately. Now the Longxia Dynasty's military strength could be said to have collapsed across the board. If this person wanted to rebel, no one could stop him.
But this person's reputation among the people was too great, so killing him casually would inevitably cause unrest among the people.
Therefore, we can only start from the military power. However, it is not only as simple as dismantling the military power. We must take this opportunity to dismantle Chen Mu's group as well.
"Female the King of Sichuan and the Shepherd of Yizhou, and grant the land of Yizhou!"
"Female Han Xin'er as the Unparalleled Marquis and General of Wuwei to guard the border with Wuwei!"
"Confess Liu Jingtang the title of Po Manbo and General Yanyun, and guard the sixteen states of Yanyun at the border!"
"Female Xiahou Wu Gonghou and General of Monan to guard Monan!"
This reward can be said to make most of the officials present jealous.
Not to mention Chen Mu, even the three subordinates behind him became high-ranking officials in an instant, rising from first-rank to second-rank official positions.
But only the people in the game can see it clearly.
After this reward, Chen Mu was completely ignored.
Once a general goes to guard the border, it is almost impossible to return to the Central Plains in this life.
"I thank you, Your Majesty!"
After explaining some matters after being granted the title, Chen Mu prepared to return to Yizhou to succeed Yizhou Mu in the afternoon.
When they arrived at the city gate, it was difficult for Xiahou and the others to follow the scholar brother back to the city of Bajun and wander around in the world.
In a few days, they will have to leave for the border.
When they thought that it would be difficult to follow Chen Mu after this incident, except for Han Xiner, Xiahou and Liu Jingtang all looked melancholy.
Under the heavy snow, there were only a few people walking on the street, and I felt desolate.
Liu Jingtang sobbed: "If I had known it would be this kind of reward, I... I might as well not have come, because in autumn that baby won't even call me uncle!"
Chen Mu angrily scolded: "You are almost twenty years old, and you are still crying. Now you are an earl general, like a man!"
Xiahou's eyes were also red at the moment: "I am a craftsman, destined to live a mediocre life. I am able to achieve my current achievements because of Brother Mu and not the court. If Brother Mu needs it one day, I, Xiahou, will still die without mercy!"
After saying that, the three of them knelt alone in the snow and held their hands towards Chen Mu.
Chen Mu put his hands behind his hands and smiled lightly, glanced at the three of them, and just said: "Goodbye in the world."
No matter how sentimental and sad everyone may be, in Chen Mu's heart, what is the difference between all the people and things in the world and these pieces of falling snow?
The snow will eventually melt one day, and people will eventually have the moment of farewell.
Everywhere you pass there are beautiful scenery, just take a look and move on.
After saying that, Chen Mu walked out of the city step by step.
The snow in Chang'an City was getting heavier and heavier, and the three of them stood in the snow, looking at this figure.
After a long time, it finally disappeared into the heavy snow.
One man rode alone, armed with a sword, and leisurely entered Jianmen Pass.
The next day, at the beginning of spring, Chen Mu felt refreshed and refreshed along the way.
All the land and all the inhabitants under the horse's hooves belong to him.
He is the king over the entire Yizhou.
The first step to take control of Yizhou today is to modify the course of the Jiankun River and build the Dujiangyan Irrigation System.
Needless to say, the importance of Dujiangyan has prevented the southern half of the Yizhou Plain from being troubled by floods, and the northern half from the suffering of drought.
It can be seen that there are almost no people living on both sides of the Minjiang River.
Once Dujiangyan is built, the Chengdu Plain will become vastly fertile and vast. Within five years, Yizhou will surely become the world's largest grain-producing state under Chen Mu's governance.
After returning to Bajun City, Chen Mu went directly to the Prefectural Mufu Mansion to hand over power.
The prefects in various places are responsible for such matters as finance and taxation. Chen Mu does not need to worry too much and can devote all his attention to the Dujiangyan issue.
But now that all the troops in Yizhou have been requisitioned by the imperial court, digging embankments and rivers will definitely require many young and middle-aged men.
"Most of the 100,000 refugees are old, weak, women and children, so they can't help. The lack of manpower is a problem."
"Brother Chen, aren't there many prisoners in the prison? Pindao thinks that we can borrow some prisoners from other states, so that we can have enough manpower."
Hearing Zhang Bowen's mention, Chen Mu nodded: "But... can others borrow the prisoner?"
"Of course those prisoners who have committed the most heinous crimes can't, but for some prisoners who have been sentenced to three to five years in prison, I think Brother Chen is willing to spend some money to fix the relationship. The governor of other states is willing to do so."
Chen Mu looked happy: "Brother Bowen, you still have more ideas. From today on, you will be the prefect of Ba County, and you will be fully responsible for this matter."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Bowen immediately raised his hands and said: "Take the order!"
Although he doesn’t have much expression on his face, I wonder if Zhang Bowen was born and came down the mountain to save the world?
A person who doesn't care about money and power will never be able to get together with Chen Mu.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Bowen put on the official uniform of the prefect and went to various states to lobby.
Once this goes, it will definitely take another few months.
Now that he is a state pastor, he does not have as much freedom as he did when he was in the underworld. He handles official business in the state pastoral office every day.
Nowadays, whether it is the Salt Bookstore or the Qingqu industry, they have been spread throughout the entire Longxia land by Wang Zimo and several women.
Chen Muke didn't want these women to be widowed. Besides, if a woman stayed outside for a long time and felt empty and lonely, she would have to wear a few hats for herself.
Therefore, it is natural to want them to come back.
It was very happy for Chen Mu to have five stunning women living under one roof.
There were five brands in front of the desk. Whenever he was dealing with official business in the afternoon, Chen Mu would experience the joy of an emperor turning over the cards.
"Hiss... It's been five days in a row, and it's Wang Zimo again? It seems there aren't enough women. Let's start over."
After saying that, he turned over another page and Liu Si's name suddenly appeared.
Chen Mu couldn't help but smile, thinking that this girl hadn't had sex for more than a year since she gave birth.
After brewing a cup of wolfberry, I leisurely walked out the door.
