Chapter 493: Spring Dispute

In late March, officials from all over Hengshan gathered in Panlong Village.

In the Lin family hall, Hengshan's top management gathered here to start this year's spring meeting.

This spring meeting, as the appeasement envoy of Huazhou, Pei Yan participated in this Hengshan meeting for the first time, and her body was already trembling with excitement.

When the meeting started, as Prime Minister of Hengshan, Han Song reported to everyone the overall situation of Hengshan last year except Huazhou.

Pei Yan listened carefully to Han Song's report, and the horror in her heart became more and more serious.He knew that Hengshan was very strong, but what Han Song said was very different from what he knew.

He knew that Hengshan controlled the four states in the west of Anxiasha, and established the Protectorate in the Western Regions.But he didn't expect that Hengshan not only controlled the countries in the Western Regions, but also owned an enclave with a radius of thousands of miles in the Western Regions.On the northern grasslands, Hengshan's territory has already crossed three hundred miles to the north of Xiayang Mountain, and is constantly expanding outward.And the remnants of the Golden Wolf entrenched on it had already surrendered to Hengshan.

Originally, he thought that although Hengshan was powerful, but living in a barren land, he must be lacking in financial resources and insufficient food and grass.But he did not expect that Hengshan now has a population of more than 800 million.Among them, there are countless good fields in Xiazhou, and livestock are everywhere. Even the horses have more than 200 million, and there are hundreds of thousands of war horses.Since the opening of the Western Regions, Shazhou's long corridors and ancient roads have flourished here, and countless Western Region merchants have come and gone to do business. Shazhou, which has experienced wars, has restored its former prosperity and has once again become a trading center between the Central Plains and the Western Regions.In Hengshan at this time, not only was there no shortage of financial and material resources, as well as food and grass, but there was still some surplus.

After Han Song finished speaking, Pei Yan was still immersed in the report just now.

"Master Pei, Lord Pei!"

Ye Hongyu, who was beside him, patted him on the back lightly, and Pei Yan came back to his senses.Awkwardly, he glanced at the strange gazes around him, and quickly stood up to apologize to Lin Yifan. "The minister lost his mind for a while, and asked the Lord to punish him."

Lin Yifan smiled slightly, "Master Pei participated in the spring meeting for the first time, so there is no reason to worry about it. The next topic is Huazhou. As a Huazhou native, you are also a Huazhou appeasement envoy. I hope you will come to me Would Mr. Pei be willing to report the situation in Huazhou?"

Hearing this, Pei Yan was slightly taken aback, and then overjoyed, this is an opportunity to stand out in front of everyone.

Pei Yan bowed gratefully to Lin Yifan, then took a deep breath, looked at the hall full of Hengshan senior management, and shouted in his heart, I finally stood among the Hengshan senior management and became one of them.

Ignoring the indifference attitude of many of them towards him, Pei Yan said slowly: "My lords, I, Pei Yan, are valued by my lord, and I am the pacifier of Huazhou. Next, I will report to you all about Huazhou. Case."

"Huazhou is located in the south of Anzhou, north of Leizhou, bordering Zhongming and Mingzhou in the east, and Shazhou in the west. Huazhou is a land of thousands of miles, divided into one prefecture and eight counties, with a population of nearly ten million... "Pei Yan talked eloquently, and all the data kept appearing in his mind.

After he finished speaking, everyone's eyes on him began to change a bit.Just now, Pei Yan explained the basic situation of Huazhou clearly without looking at various data.It can be seen from this that Mr. Pei really knows Huazhou well, which is very beneficial for Hengshan to control Huazhou.

After talking about Huazhou, the next step is for the heads of the various ministries to report on the progress of their respective affairs.

Needless to say, Hengshan, everything has been steadily achieved according to the established goals.When it was Huazhou's turn, the chief officials of the eight ministries all looked at Pei Yan with a hint of hostility on their faces.

Guo Huaili stood up and said, "My lord, the current restructuring of Huazhou is difficult due to the secret obstruction of some people, and the progress cannot reach the set goal. I am incompetent, and please punish me."

Hearing this, Pei Yan showed an angry look on his face, but he was weak at this time, so he didn't dare to reprimand him in court, so he gritted his teeth and bowed to Lin Yifan, "My lord, I think Huazhou should be reformed slowly. Instead of rushing forward like Mr. Guo. The situation in Huazhou is complicated, and we should focus on the overall situation, and first stabilize Hengshan’s rule in Huazhou, before we can use thunderous means to appease the nobles in Huazhou.”

Lin Yifan didn't comment, but turned his head to look at the crowd, "Everyone is gathered here today, why don't we all discuss this matter."

Lin Yifan spoke, and everyone began to think about it. After a while, Han Song took the lead and said, "My lord, I quite agree with Mr. Pei's words. I first acquired Huazhou in Hengshan, and everything should be stable. Only by keeping Hua Only the state can take the benefits of Huazhou, on the contrary, a turbulent Huazhou can only be our burden."

"Mr. Han has some objections to what Mr. Chen said." Chen Dengke stroked his short beard, shook his head and said, "Everyone knows the importance of Huazhou. What we want is not only the stability of Huazhou, but also comprehensive Take control. If you only want stability, you must compromise with the gentry. On the surface, it seems that the waves are calm, but in fact the undercurrent is surging. If there is a slight change, there is no guarantee that these gentry will not cause a storm. I think that the long-term pain is worse than the short-term It hurts, strictly implement the Hengshan system, use the fastest time to destroy the foundation of Huazhou's gentry, and completely control Huazhou."

After Chen Dengke finished speaking, he glanced at Pei Yan slightly, with a hint of coldness in his light smile.

Pei Yan's face was flushed at this time, and she looked at Chen Dengke angrily, her fists in her sleeves creaking.

Han Song frowned and looked at Chen Dengke, "Master Chen, is your move too extreme? Huazhou was originally under the rule of Li Yuan, and the people's livelihood was withered and the people were poor. If the gentry in Huazhou were aroused to rebel, only I'm afraid that the land of Huazhou is full of smoke and smoke, and the people are dying. I have enemies from all sides of Hengshan, how can I trap myself in the land of Huazhou?"

Chen Dengke bowed his hands to Han Song, and said with a smile: "Master Han, our Hengshan army is strong and strong, why are we afraid of enemies from all directions? May I ask, who dares to fight against me in Hengshan in today's world? Come on, why can't you be calm?"

"Master Chen." Without waiting for Han Song to refute, Pei Yan couldn't help it, and immediately stood up and looked directly at Chen Dengke, "Your actions really want to trap me in Hengshan in an unjust place. Hengshan occupies Huazhou However, instead of resisting, the gentry did not resist, but instead ate the pulp pot to welcome the king's teacher. This behavior is despised by the people of the world. What's more, there are so many gentry in the world. If Hengshan flattens the Huazhou gentry, how will the world's gentry treat Hengshan ?Other forces have the full support of the gentry, and it will be even more difficult for Hengshan to conquer the world. Even if he wins in the end, how many innocent people will die because of it? My lords, don’t you know that the one who started the war has no descendants.”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.Just like what Pei Yan said, everyone in Hengshan is killing all the gentry in the world today, and they will eventually become a new gentry.In the future, someone will follow their example and kill their descendants.When everyone thought of this, they couldn't help trembling slightly. If so, wouldn't this move harm future generations?
"Hehe, Mr. Pei's words are wrong." Lin Yifan spoke slowly when everyone was lost in thought.

 I have something to do today, so I don’t have time to write tonight, so I have to post a chapter first.
