Yao Cha was obviously well prepared, and his target was probably not targeting the Bashu family. Tang Yishun breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Xingchen said in a deep voice: "In that case, which area does the Yao Qing family think is more suitable?"
Yao Cha was startled for a moment, and then thought of what Xu Ling had told him when he came here. Hanzhong and Bajun were not allowed to move. Firstly, because they were both front lines, and secondly, they were also here for the Bashu Family and the Guanlong Group.
The current sphere of influence lies. Among the people present today, apart from Xiao Shilian from the military, only Yao Cha is the only one who can represent the Southeast gentry. Moreover, in terms of identification, Xiao Shilian is actually not interested in the Southeast gentry.
After all, the Xiao family is just a family from a humble background, and has just barely become a noble family now.
So even if Yao Cha didn't originally mean this, the words coming out of Yao Cha's mouth already represented the will and thoughts of the Southeastern gentry.
It’s not that the Southeastern nobles don’t have the strength and courage to come into conflict with the other two parties, but they don’t want to. After all, Li Xingchen hasn’t conquered the world yet, and they need to face more foreign enemies together. As long as you are not stupid, you will know that now
There is little benefit from starting a conflict.
Logically speaking, this question is not something that Yao Cha, the official in charge of education, should answer. However, it is obvious that Li Xingchen appreciates his difficult rebuttal to Tang Yishun just now, so he directly asked Yao Cha for his opinion at this time.
At the same time, all eyes fell on Yao Cha, wondering what this good old man who had always been very low-key would say today.
Yao Cha pondered for a moment and said loudly: "My subordinates think that we should choose the area around Zitong and Jiameng Pass. It is located in the center of the Shu Road and is the gateway to and from Bashu. Our army will not be able to bypass this place no matter what when it goes north from Bashu, so
The civil affairs and administration of this area should be handled properly, so as to avoid errors in the supply of grain and grass, material transfer, etc."
Tang Yishun and other officials from the Bashu family breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Yao Cha did not want to target them this time.
"Situ, what do you think?" Li Xingchen turned to Tang Yishun.
"I think it's a good idea," Tang Yishun replied hurriedly, "but the Zitong area is too small, and the problem of unreasonable administrative divisions is not limited to this area. Maybe we can add Langzhong and Bazhong."
Li Xingchen nodded slightly: "Then who do you think is more appropriate to be responsible for this matter?"
"I think it is most appropriate to serve as the governor of Yizhou and General Xu, the general in charge of marching to the north. General Xu has governed the area from Baidi City to the southern county and has made outstanding achievements. There is no war around Hanzhong. It is best to let General Xu handle this matter.
It's perfect." Tang Yishun said with a smile.
Since the Southeastern nobles didn't want to cause trouble, he didn't mind giving a favor and letting Xu Deyan, who was from the Southeastern nobles, take charge of this matter.
"That's right." Li Xingchen did not hesitate. Among the officials in northern Shu and Hanzhong, it is indeed most appropriate for Xu Deyan, the most experienced one, to take charge. "Then the Monk's Office of the Situ Mansion must also draw up the charter as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Tang Yishun did not dare to neglect.
Li Xingchen's official position in the court still followed the system since the Song and Liang Dynasties in the Southern Dynasties. The "three princes" were in charge of the government, that is, Situ, Sima and Sikong. Sima and Sikong are both military positions, and they are still pending. Everyone knows that this is
It is left to Wu Mingche and Xiao Mohe later, or to Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie, but Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie are really young now and their qualifications are not enough.
Situ, that is, Tang Yishun, who was the head of the civil service, actually performed responsibilities similar to those of the previous prime minister in the Han Dynasty. This was somewhat different from Nanchen's use of "Situ" to let Zuo Pushe preside over the affairs of the state.
Although the current official positions are actually quite chaotic like the administrative system, Li Xingchen doesn't want to start drastic reforms at this time. After all, the world is still uncertain and cannot reveal any flaws, so changes can only start from the local level.
When the time comes and the world is at peace, it doesn't take Li Xingchen to say that someone will take the initiative to propose reforms to the current chaotic official system.
When the ministers walked out of the imperial study, the sun had already turned west. Tang Yishun breathed a sigh of relief, and Tang Zhengliang quickly caught up with him and said with a wry smile: "Today is really a difficult afternoon."
Tang Yishun nodded slightly: "Yes, there must be Xu Xiaomu's guidance behind Yao Cha, otherwise a person who is usually a bit dull would not be so popular as he is today. Some people even suspect that our every move is in Xu Xiaomu's calculation."
"You are a thief if you are too old to die." Tang Zhengliang sighed, subconsciously thinking of the old guys in the family. It was they who made the final decision on the bank affairs, and the facts proved that this was definitely beneficial to the development of the family.
It's a pity that no matter how broad the views and vision of the older generation in the family are, they can't compare to Xu Ling.
"Xu Xiaomu has been famous for a long time," Tang Yishun said lightly. "It is reasonable to be able to see through some things. The most confusing areas in the entire Bashu administrative division are actually around Bajun and Luzhou. However, Yao Cha analyzed it so thoroughly, but turned a blind eye to it.
, it is clear that he wants to sell us a favor, and this requires Xu Xiaomu’s guidance. And this is the most terrifying thing about Xu Xiaomu.”
"oh?"
Tang Yishun smiled bitterly: "Sell us favors, but we have to take them."
After a pause, Tang Yishun thought of something and said with a smile: "But one thing is that His Highness the King of Han is smart enough, so Xu Xiaomu will not come to the stage at all, because His Highness the King of Han will never allow the Southeastern nobles to have such a pillar.
I support it openly and openly.”
"So Xu Xiaomu can only provide some guidance from behind." Tang Zhengliang said thoughtfully.
"This is what we really care about," Tang Yishun murmured. "Xu Xiaomu has been a legend in his life. Chen Xu is such a heroic figure. Xu Xiaomu was not polite to him in the court at that time, but Chen Xu still had to serve him well.
But now, Xu Xiaomu doesn’t even have the courage to come to the stage, what does this mean?”
Tang Zhengliang was startled for a moment, a little surprised.
Tang Yishun then answered the question himself: "This shows that he himself does not want to stand up and face His Highness the King of Han, even as he gets older and more experienced. Obviously in Xu Xiaomu's eyes, keeping a certain distance from His Highness the King of Han to avoid
Direct confrontation is the most correct choice."
"this······"
With a sigh, Tang Yishun said in a deep voice: "While we, the aristocratic families, are uniting together, we have to think carefully. This time we can avoid angering His Highness the King of Han because of Xu Xiaomu's show of kindness, but what about next time, after the world is unified?
?We families cannot rely on people who may become enemies to help us... Those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. Facing a figure like the King of Han, we should consider how to obey." (
