Chapitre 63: Chapter 63
In ancient China, after the Sui Dynasty, prefectures were abolished and prefectures became prefectures.
The position of governor only appeared during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Previously, there were prefectures, prefectures, prefectures, and so on.
But in this world, the prefectures, prefectures, and provincial governors coexisted, which was very different from ancient China.
It could only be said that the Great Yan Dynasty had its own national conditions.
However, Shen Lang could roughly understand the reason behind it.
First, the level of military strength in this world far exceeded that of ancient China. Therefore, the most outstanding talents were usually proficient in both the pen and the sword. Therefore, it was very difficult to completely separate the civil and military positions.
Second, there were many feudal nobles in every country. As a local governor, if he wanted to suppress these old nobles, he had to have military power. Therefore, it was very difficult to completely separate the civil and civil powers.
...
In the evening, two important people came to the Xuan Wu Mansion.
The envoy of the Tiannan Province Governor's Office, Governor Zhu Jung's advisor, Yan Wuji.
The prefectures of the Tiannan Province Nujiang Prefecture, Zhang Chong!
Accompanying them were the Xuanwu City Governor, Liu Wuyan, the former Xuanwu City Governor, Zhang Boyan, and the Xuanwu City Garrison Commander, Zhang Jin.
In order to express their welcome to the two important people, the Crown Prince, Jin Mucong, and the Count House's Miss, Jin Mulan, personally led two hundred cavalrymen to welcome them.
Then, the Count Lord, his wife, Shen Lang, and the rest welcomed them at the entrance of the Count House.
This was also the first time that Shen Lang, as the son-in-law of the Count House, appeared on such an important occasion.
Before this, Shen Lang had done his homework on Yan Wuji and Zhang Chong.
Yan Wuji, male, 53 years old.
The State of Yue Palace Testing Flower!
Was he awesome? Was he awesome?
Yue Country was also a big country with a population of about 20 million. He was able to get the third place in the whole country.
Such a powerful person should have been a high-ranking official, so why did he become Governor-General Zhu Jung's aide?
This was because his family had committed a crime, and Yan Wuji was dragged into it. After he was forced to leave the bureaucracy, he opened an academy and taught for ten years. His name spread throughout the State of Yue.
After that, he caught the eye of Lord Zhu Jung. After three visits, he finally became an advisor of the governor's office.
This person was extremely trusted by the Governor, and his every word and action represented the will of Lord Zhu Jung.
Many people even said that they would rather offend the Governor's son than Yan Wuji.
For example, he would rather offend Ma Ying Jiu than offend Jin Pu Cong.
Some even said that Shen Lang was Zhu Jung's sleeve. What did that mean? A pure and handsome man like Shen Lang wouldn't understand.
…
As for this Prefecture Chief Zhang Chong, he was definitely an amazing person, a super amazing person.
His father was a military officer, and he himself was well-versed in both literature and martial arts. He could lead troops to war on horseback, and he could govern the people when he was dismounted.
In the past twenty years, he had served as the governor of five different cities.
Each time, he had outstanding political achievements, but he had always been idle, and his career as an official was not prosperous.
It couldn't be helped. When a widow slept, no one would push her from behind.
However, the battle three years ago had made his name known throughout the State of Yue. Since then, he had been chosen by the Monarch and the Zhu Clan, and his status skyrocketed.
At that time, he was the governor of Dongjiang County's Watchcliff City.
In the past hundred years, who was the governor of Dongjiang County? No one knew.
But when it came to the Dongjiang Count House, it was famous, and everyone was in awe of it.
Almost everyone thought that the Dongjiang Count House was the ruler of Dongjiang County, and that it had been the local tyrant for hundreds of years.
Compared to Count Xuanwu, the Dongjiang Count House was much more domineering, and his methods were extremely fierce. He had completely suppressed the governor.
The Dongjiang Count House's Watchcliff City was known as the death zone of the bureaucracy.
The new policies of the State of Yue were completely difficult to implement in Dongjiang County.
This Zhang Chong had used five years to force the Dongjiang Count House into a corner. The domineering Dongjiang Count had led the army to attack the governor's mansion.
Zhang Chong was outnumbered, and he led the army to break the siege, and won a great victory.
At this point, the Dongjiang Count House lost all its military power and fiefdom, and the Dongjiang Count committed suicide.
In the end, the Monarch showed mercy and did not start a massacre. He did not even deprive the Hai Clan of their title, but the Dongjiang Count House had become an empty shell.
After Zhang Chong became famous in the battle, he was transferred back to the capital, and hid his strength and bided his time for three years.
Last year, he was sent to Nujiang County as the governor to carry out administration.
Who was the local tyrant of Nujiang County? Xuan Wu Mansion.
Thus, it couldn't be any more obvious where Lord Zhang Chong was pointing his sword at.
When he was just a governor, he had eliminated the Dongjiang Count. Now that he was the governor, he had the military and political power in his hands. No wonder Count Xuanwu felt like there was a thorn in his back, and he was always cautious.
However, after Zhang Chong took office, he did not cause a ruckus, nor did he go against the Xuan Wu Mansion. Instead, he was very low-key.
…
After seeing these two big shots, their appearances were similar to what Shen Lang had imagined.
Yan Wuji was a middle-aged handsome man. He looked amiable, but he was actually arrogant. His clothes were fragrant, and he even drew on his eyebrows. Don't think that Shen Lang did not notice.
Sure enough, the rumors were not groundless, even though he did not have an acupoint.
Zhang Chong's skin was very dark. His face could be considered handsome, but it was too thin, and he looked very gloomy.
On top of that, he was a man of few words. Only his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.
Yan Wuji was wearing elegant clothes, while Zhang Chong was wearing a plain robe. He did not have any expensive accessories on him.
Just by looking at his appearance, it was hard to imagine that the governor was a scholar.
After they met, Yan Wuji and Count Xuanwu exchanged greetings for a while, then he talked to the Count's wife about the traditional friendship between the two families.
That's right, Lord Yan Wuji was also from a noble family, but he did not have any land.
From the beginning to the end, Zhang Chong only said one sentence to the Count, "Chong, nice to meet you, Xuanwu."
After that, the governor, who was well-versed in both literature and martial arts, stood on the side and did not say a word.
"Lang 'er, come here and greet Mr. Yan and Governor Zhang," the Count said.
Shen Lang stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting.
These two were enemies. His father-in-law needed to take care of everything, but Shen Lang was still a nobody. His attitude was not important, and he just needed to be perfunctory.
Would the other party treat him better because of his good attitude? Impossible!
As the son-in-law of Shen Lang, these two big shots would not specially greet him.
Yan Wuji smiled reservedly. Zhang Chong nodded and then ignored Shen Lang.
This was the normal attitude.
Next, Count Xuanwu invited the big shots to the Count House and held a banquet.
At this time, Shen Lang was busy eating. At most, he would drink some sweet rice wine.
While eating, he looked at Mulan's attractive waist and butt.
Unknowingly, he ate even more.
Mulan could not do anything to her hooligan Husband. She could only pretend that nothing had happened.
What?
Shen Lang came out to recite poems? Acting cool and slapping people's faces?
Not at all.
These two big shots, one Tanhua and the other First Class Scholar, would come to test a son-in-law's knowledge?
She was thinking too much.
…
"Xuanwu, 20 years have passed," Yan Wuji said.
Everyone put down their chopsticks when they heard this.
Because it was time to get to the point.
Yan Wuji said, "The Governor sent me here to ask Xuanwu what his plan is regarding the dispute on Jinshan Island. Can the Governor's Office mediate peacefully? "
This was the purpose of the two big shots' visit.
The dispute on Jinshan Island was related to the conspiracy of a certain generation of Monarch many years ago.
There was no need to elaborate on the history. In short, the Jin Hai Count in the north thought that Jinshan Island belonged to him, while the Xuan Wu Mansion thought that Jinshan Island belonged to the Kim family.
Because of this, the two families almost fought each other's brains out. After fighting for more than a hundred years, no one was clear about this lawsuit.
Both families could cite a hundred pieces of evidence to prove that they had inviolable ownership of Jinshan Island.
In the end, the previous generation of Monarch decreed that Jinshan Island would be held every 20 years. Both sides would compete in civil and military affairs, and whoever won the 20-year fief would belong to the winner.
If it was an ordinary island, then it would be fine.
The key was that Jinshan Island had high-grade iron ore, as well as other minerals. Whoever obtained the development rights of the island would have their annual income increased by at least 30%.
Twenty years ago, the Xuan Wu Mansion lost, losing a large source of income. It was really a big blow.
Now, the Count House's financial crisis was not only because of Xu Wenzhao, but also because of the loss of Jinshan Island.
It could be said that after losing Jinshan Island, the Xuan Wu Mansion's backbone was broken in half.
Count Xuanwu said, "What does the Governor think?"
Yan Wuji said, "The Governor said that peace is the most important thing. We should divide Jinshan Island into two. The north side belongs to the Jinhai Count House, and the south side belongs to the Xuan Wu Mansion."
Hearing this, Count Xuanwu was furious.
Do you think I'm a pushover?
Everyone knew that the main minerals of the entire Jinshan Island were in the north. The south side only had a large area of saline-alkali land, beaches, and forests.
But even though he was angry, the Count would not refuse. He just raised his glass and said, "Let's drink, let's drink."
Yan Wuji, of course, knew this would be the result, so he didn't say anything.
He represented the Governor to express his attitude and that he had come to mediate.
As for the remaining Black Tortoise Manor and Jin Hai Manor, I don't have any objections if they want to beat the shit out of them. Moreover, the more ruthless the better.
Then, the banquet entered the garbage time.
They were not very familiar with each other, and they were even enemies, so there was no need to talk awkwardly.
The Black Tortoise Earl was not the kind of person who was good with money and power. Although the Count's wife was smart, she hated evil and didn't like to hide.
As for Prince Jin Mucong?
Ah?! Sorry, I didn't see you here.
Although Shen Lang was a son-in-law and had a low status, he was handsome. People couldn't help but look at him a few more times. After looking at him, they would reflect on him and silently rank him in their hearts. Was he the first or the second?
His handsomeness was unparalleled.
As for Jin Mucong, the fat otaku, he was completely in the background.
No one present spoke, and the whole banquet was particularly quiet.
Just when the atmosphere was particularly awkward.
Suddenly, there was a hubbub outside.
Countless people could be vaguely heard shouting.
"Hand over Shen Lang, and he will pay with his life!"
"Hand over Shen Lang, and he will pay with his life!"
Shen Lang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and he felt refreshed.
Oh!
The show is finally here. I'm going to fall asleep.
