Unparalleled Concubine - v2 Chapter 1171

   Chapter 1171 Anbei Duhufu!

   Great victory in Northern Xinjiang, the stone hanging in Li Xin’s heart fell to the ground.

   No matter when, the nomads in the north were the biggest enemy and the biggest threat to the Central Plains dynasty.

None of the firearms Li Xin has made now can fundamentally restrain the Xianbei people. The most deadly of them is mobility. Those grassland cavalrymen are very different from the infantry in the Central Plains. They can turn around if they see something bad. Head off, with the current mobility of the northern frontier army, it is impossible to catch up.

Besides, among the firearms, the farthest range is the newly-made firearm. However, this thing basically does not have any advantage against the bows and arrows of the nomads, and the long reloading time even makes the firearm basically There is no practical significance.

   In Li Xin’s world, Daming’s level of firearms is definitely far better than the current Southwest Army. However, Daming not only has no advantage in the face of cold weapons, but even ended up subjugating the country in the hands of most of the fishing and hunting people who are cold weapons.

   Therefore, even Li Xin, who had the power of the imperial court, never gave up his vigilance against the Xianbei people. The news from the northern Xinjiang this time made him very excited.

Even if the victory in the north stops here, Mu Ying has not been able to stop the Xianbei king’s tent from moving north, and the Xianbei people have already suffered greatly, even to the point of lingering, and it will take at least twenty or thirty years to recover. In a short period of time, The Dajin frontier will have no worries.

  Li Xin is only in his thirties now, so it is not a problem to live for twenty or thirty years. As long as he does not have any problems and his temperament has not changed drastically, the Xianbei people in twenty or thirty years will never have any chance.

  Li Xin held this good news in his hand. Even in his city, he couldn’t hide his excitement. He immediately said solemnly to the Houfu people around him: “Go and invite Zhao Xiang over, I have important matters to discuss with him!”

Li Shuo was originally sitting opposite Li Xin, but when he heard the words, he immediately got up and said with a smile: “Brother wants to discuss political affairs with Zhao Xiang, and it is inconvenient for my younger brother to be here. Look.”

  Li Xin also stood up, nodded to Li Shuo and said, “You have worked hard during this time, and go back to rest for a few days, and then…”

After    Li Xin paused, he said, “That kid in your family is over seven years old this year. If you don’t plan to let him study for the exam, you can send him to the Shenji School I run.”

   “Of course, the child is yours. You don’t want him to go to school. I won’t force you to go.

Li Xin’s own son Li Ping, because of his special status, can only be named in the Shenji School, and it is inconvenient to go to study in person, but Li Shuo’s son has no such concerns. If he asks him to go to the Shenji School to study, he can bring a family member with him. A large number of “official second generation” or “general second generation” entered the Shenji School.

   These people will be the future backbone of the imperial court. With them entering the school, the seed that Li Xin sowed will sprout quickly.

   Of course, when the flowers will bear fruit, that is God’s will, and Li Xin can’t make the decision.

In addition, the proportion of these powerful and powerful children entering the Shenji Academy should also be strictly controlled. The future positioning of these people is to expand the influence of the Shenji Academy, and it is still necessary to rely on a large number of people who can really make this seed blossom and bear fruit. Poor boy.

  Li Shuo nodded immediately and said with a smile, “My brother is his uncle, so he can naturally arrange his studies. When the younger brother goes back to rest for a few days, he will personally send him to his brother’s Shenji School to study.”

   Governor Li nodded.

   “Don’t worry, my school will not humiliate this child.”

  Li Shuo respectfully saluted Li Xin, then got up to leave.

About half an hour after he left, Zhao Jia, who was still wearing his official uniform, hurried to Jing’an Hou’s Mansion from the Shangshu Desk. After meeting Li Xin, he cupped his hands towards Li Xin and said, “The Governor is so anxious to call down the official. Come on, I don’t know if…”

   Li Xin pulled him and sat down in his study, then took out the letter from Beijiang from his sleeve, hehe smiled: “Beijiang good news, let’s take a look at Zhao Xiang first.”

   After Zhao Jia opened the letter and glanced up and down, a smile appeared on his face immediately. He looked up at Li Xin and swallowed uncontrollably.

   “The Governor… The Xianbei Ministry has suffered heavy losses, and the Northern Xinjiang will no longer have to worry about it!”

  He looked up at Li Xin, his eyes were eager, and what was in his heart was self-evident.

   What he means is that there is nothing in the way.

  Li Xin smiled bitterly and said, “Brother You An has always been calm, why are you so impatient when you mention this? I asked you to come here not to discuss whether there are any obstacles, but to discuss with you about the Anbei Protectorate.”

   After leaving the Central Plains dynasty and becoming strong, he would set up a Duhufu in a relatively remote place, whose duty was to comfort the vassals, pacify foreign invaders, and recount merits and punishments.

The establishment of the Duhufu means that the place is nominally under the control of the imperial court, but in fact there will still be many foreigners, which cannot be driven out. However, the imperial court will station troops in the Duhufu to defend against foreign invaders and to deter the locals. “Zhu Fan”.

  In this agricultural era, the “frontier” areas outside the Central Plains Dynasty were generally barren. The establishment of the Duhufu was not for land, but to prevent local “fans” from rebelling.

   This thing is generally a loss of money.

   Now, the Xianbei Ministry has been severely damaged, and even if the Xianbei king’s tent is not stopped by Mu Ying, it is impossible to compete with the imperial court again.

   Although most of the Protectorate’s Mansion does not make money, Li Xin has a way to make the Protectorate’s Mansion earn money.

   Zhao Jia finally came to his senses, bowed his head a little embarrassedly, and said, “It involves me, and the lower official has lost his sense.”

   He took a few deep breaths, calmed down quickly, and asked, “What does the governor mean, who will be the guardian of this Anbei Protectorate?”

   “Of course it’s Chen Guogong Ye Mao.”

   Li Xin said without hesitation: “He has made great contributions and has stayed in the northern border for so long. Naturally, he should be the chief guard in the Anbei Duhufu.”

“There is no need to discuss the position of the Protector. I asked Brother You’an to come here because I wanted Brother You’an to select some officials from the imperial court and send them to the north as the chief history of the Anbei Protectorate. In addition, after the establishment of the Anbei Protectorate. In the original border towns of Yunzhou, Jizhou, there is no need to worry about being harassed by barbarians. Many officials in these places are missing, and the court needs to make up for it as soon as possible, so that the local people can live again.”

   Zhao Jia nodded and said, “In this matter, the next official will go back to Shangshutai to discuss specific candidates with his colleagues, but the position of the Protector of the North of Anbei…”

   The minister’s right servant shot for a while before continuing.

   “Chen Guogong is honest, loyal and brave. He is the first protector of the Anbei Protectorate, so the lower officials will naturally not object.”

   Zhao Jia lowered his head slightly and continued.

   “However, Duke Ye can be the first one, but the Ye family can’t inherit the position of Protector, otherwise there may be troubles in the future.”

He frowned and said, “Although I’m also from the Ye family, I can’t speak for the Ye family at this time. Although the area of ​​the Anbei Duhufu is not demarcated, it must be a very large place, and this position cannot be left to the Ye family to control. Otherwise, there will be chaos in the future!”

   “In my opinion, starting from the second Duhu after Ye Guogong, according to the rules of the customs, it is better to serve every six years.”

  Li Xin nodded and said silently: “Brother You An is right, the position of Duhu really cannot be hereditary.”

   “Regarding the matter of the Anbei Duhufu, Shang Shutai will issue a charter as soon as possible and send it to me.”

   Zhao Jia bowed his hands respectfully.

   “The subordinate obeys the order.”
