"By the way, Yafu, I still have one undecided matter." Mu Qiuhuang said.

"What's the matter?" Situ Buqi asked.

"After Ouyang Dongqing hands over military power, who should I send to Loulan? How should I arrange the 50,000 troops he originally had?" Mu Qiuhuang asked.

"What are your concerns?" Situ Buqi said straight to the point.

Because usually in situations like this, new generals are sent to take over the positions of the original generals, or military power is directly returned to the central government... Situ Buqi knew that since Mu Qiuhuang asked this question, he explained that these two conventional measures, he

All have concerns.

Mu Qiuhuang looked at Situ Buqi and explained: "You don't know something, my Beiyu is no better than others. We have nine cities in Beiyu, with a total of 400,000 troops. In the past, except for Yun, Mu, and Zhouzhou, I was the leader.

Beiyuhou Mansion is directly under the jurisdiction of the Prefecture, and there are prefectures and county guards to assist in the management. The remaining six prefectures are governed by my father's six adopted sons. My father gave them great rights, and they are in their own position.

Within the prefectures and cities under their jurisdiction, there are all military and political affairs, and there is no city lord. As for the military support, in the past, the six of them each supported their own 50,000 troops, and the remaining 100,000 troops were provided by Yun and Mu under the command of my father.

, Zhou Sanzhou City provides support..."

After Mu Qiuhuang briefly explained Beiyu's management model to Situ Buqi, he continued to express his doubts: "Now that Ouyang Dongqing has been demobilized, if he chooses one person from the 50,000 troops to manage Loulan,

If so, his reputation, power, etc. will definitely not be able to compete with the other five. In this case, I am afraid that the lower-level soldiers of Loulan's 50,000-strong army will have their thoughts in their minds. And I don't know yet, what are the high-ranking generals in the original army?

More or less, Prime Minister Ouyang Dongqing has already won over... It is not impossible to directly take back the military power to the Marquis Mansion, but in this case, Sanzhou City will have to directly support the 50,000 troops, and the tax will inevitably increase than before. In this way,

Come on, I'm afraid that the ordinary people in these three-state cities will be taxed too heavily, which will arouse public dissatisfaction..."

Hearing this, Situ Buqi fell into deep thought. After a while, he raised his head, stroked his beard, and said, "I have to say, your father's management method is wrong."

Situ Buqi looked at Mu Qiuhuang and saw that he said that his father was not him. He did not react too much, and then he continued: "The Great You Empire is divided into nine major princes, and the princes govern the nine states on their behalf.

This has led to the current situation... The Duke of Dongche rebelled, but the princes refused to obey the edict. This is caused by the excessive dispersion of power. As far as I know, other princes have adopted the management method of separation of military and political affairs, dividing power

They are firmly in their own hands. There is really no one else like your father who delegates power so wantonly. Take this matter as an example. If it weren’t for your father delegating too much power to them, how could there be two tigers?

Were they vacillating before? The reason why they dared to vacillate was because of the 50,000 troops they each had at their disposal..."

Mu Qiuhuang sighed and said: "What Ya's father said is reasonable. I thought so before. He even gave my father private advice, asking him to follow the example of other princes and implement the separation of military and political affairs.

To control force, use force to suppress culture... However, the original words my father gave him were 'don't use people you doubt, use people you don't trust'."

Ouyang Dongqing looked at Mu Qiuhuang,

Suddenly he said solemnly: "How about taking this opportunity to implement reforms? With Ouyang Dongqing's experience here, I believe that when we take over the power from the other five people, the resistance we will encounter will not be great.

We take this opportunity to make drastic changes and, like other princes, take power into your hands. From then on, Beiyu will follow the example of the imperial court and set up three divisions and six divisions..."

"No." Mu Qiuhuang shook her head and refused neatly.

"Oh." Situ Buqi was startled when he heard the words, and couldn't help but asked with doubt: "Why?"

In his opinion, there is indeed something wrong with Beiyu's management method, and Mu Qiuhuang can also see this and agrees with his opinion. But he refused so neatly. According to his past treatment of Mu Qiuhuang

He knew that Mu Qiuhuang was a decisive person with a tough mind. He did not think that Mu Qiuhuang was afraid that the reform would trigger a backlash from others. Moreover, in other words, if the other five people backlashed because of this matter, then

This further illustrates the need for reform.

Mu Qiuhuang looked at Situ Buqi and explained seriously: "I understand Yafu's intention. If it were me in the past, I would definitely agree with Yafu's idea. But right now, this move doesn't work. I'm not

I am afraid of causing their backlash, but because after experiencing this incident, I understand the profound meaning of my father's actions."

"Oh?" Situ Buqi looked at Mu Qiuhuang puzzled.

Mu Qiuhuang looked at Situ Buqi and continued: "Except for Ouyang Dongqing, the other five people are worthy of my father's trust. This time I was assassinated in Tingzhou. It was because Tan Baiming's younger brother Tan Baiyan had an affair with me.

Yun Jiu and the army colluded. But the result was that Tan Baiming personally killed his most beloved brother... and Mad Tiger Shentu. I think Ya's father can easily convince him this time, except because Ya's father is not capable.

In addition to the general situation, there is another reason: Crazy Tiger Shentu has never betrayed Beiyu from beginning to end, and has never really thought about betraying my father... And the same is true for the remaining eagle and dog, Blood Phoenix, Iron Kuangyun

The level of loyalty is even better than theirs...Although I am not as powerful as my father, I believe in my father's choice..."

Mu Qiuhuang looked at Situ Buqi and continued: "It's not that I don't agree with Yafu's proposal. But compared to the five of them, it's not necessary at all. Also, Beiyu is now compared to the entire

As far as the world is concerned, it is still too small. If you go to great lengths to carry out reforms, it is also inappropriate for the current situation... Don't worry, Yafu, if one day in the future, I, Beiyu, can really become more powerful in the world? I will follow Yafu's plan today.

Word."

Situ Buqi looked at Mu Qiuhuang, who had made up his mind, stroked his beard and said, "What you said is not unreasonable. In that case, I will no longer force changes."

"Thank you very much, Father." Upon hearing this, Mu Qiuhuang saluted Situ Buqi solemnly.

Seeing this, Situ Buqi returned the gift solemnly and said seriously: "It doesn't have to be like this. Don't forget that you are the master and I am the minister..."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. As for what I mentioned earlier, does Yafu have any good ideas?" Mu Qiuhuang continued to ask.

After thinking for a moment, Situ Buqi said: "Since you have so much trust in the five of them, I have a plan. Move the original building

Lan's 50,000-strong army was divided into five, and each of them was given an army of 10,000. In addition, Loulan followed the example of the three states of Yun, Mu, and Zhou, and established a city lord under the direct jurisdiction of the Marquis Mansion."

After hearing this, Mu Qiuhuang thought for a moment and couldn't help but said overjoyed: "My father is a great talent. If this happens, the imprint of Ouyang Dongqing on Loulan's 50,000 troops will definitely be wiped away. And their five subordinates will definitely be wiped away."

The army does not decrease but increases. Instead of feeling it as a burden, they will be grateful to me. And my Beiyuhou Mansion can get the tax of one state every year, plus the few that swallowed Yunjiu this time.

In Zhoucheng, it shouldn’t be a problem for us to expand Beiyu’s army by another hundred thousand... Yafu, you can really accomplish multiple things with one stone."

Ouyang Dongqing smiled and said, "Stop complimenting me. This is just the responsibility of our counselors. What you should consider now is who to send as the city lord."

When Mu Qiuhuang heard this, his mind suddenly moved. A name suddenly appeared in his mind. He couldn't help but smile, thinking that he had begun to build his own team.

Seeing his appearance, Situ Buqi knew that he had already made a choice, and said with a smile: "Okay, since you have made the decision on these things, I will start making arrangements. Now you will write the

Write me a letter!"

"Father, sit down for a moment. I'll write a letter right away." Mu Qiuhuang responded, walked behind the desk and started writing a letter.

Situ Buqi looked at Mu Qiuhuang who was writing at the desk, stroking his beard, his eyes full of satisfaction. After coming to Beiyu for several months, he had come into contact with Mu Qiuhuang, and he also had an understanding of Mu Qiuhuang.

Detailed understanding. Although some of Mu Qiuhuang's actions are still too immature and not mature enough, his overall direction is basically correct. His vision and structure are indeed rare among the younger generation. However,

What made him even more satisfied was Mu Qiuhuang's attitude towards him. Having met countless people, he could naturally see that Mu Qiuhuang respected him from the bottom of his heart, and it was by no means superficial.

He put his power to the extreme, and all major military and political affairs in Beiyu did not avoid him, but were handled by him first... And through all these things, Situ Qiqi became more convinced of his original choice.

Situ Buqi looked at Mu Qiuhuang now, and there was only one regret in his heart, that is, Mu Qiuhuang was not his only son-in-law. However, he also knew that such a thing could not be done reluctantly. Not to mention, her daughter had already treated her

He is determined to live in the world, and there is a strong tendency not to marry unless he has it. And he really has nothing good to say about his daughter. Apart from the so-called status, he is still gentle, considerate and caring towards his daughter. However,

Situ Buqi also felt somewhat relieved when he remembered that Mu Qiuhuang's reason for rejecting his proposal was that he had a marriage contract with Miss Ji.

At the thought of this, Situ Buqi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Oh, I blame myself for being a little late. I let that old guy Ji Yan take the lead and make the engagement first..."

"Father, I have written a letter. What do you think of it?" Mu Qiuhuang handed the written letter to Situ Buqi.

After Situ Buqi took the letter and read it once, he pretended and said, "Okay, then I'll make arrangements."
