Pi Wan and his men captured Yuan City without any bloodshed, and there was no disturbance in Yuan City. The Ling, Wei, and Cheng of Yuancheng were all natives of Yuancheng. After being deprived of their positions, none of them thought of returning to Daliang to report to the King of Wei. Instead, they became wealthy households in Yuancheng. When Chen Si and others saw this, they reported it to Zhang Lu and ignored them, treating them as ordinary citizens.
As the magistrate of the Yuan City, Chen Si did not care much about the affairs of the Yuan City. He wandered around every day, chatting with merchants, farmers, and elders, leaving all county administration to the Wei and Cheng. As the county magistrate, Mang Wei pays little attention to government affairs and economics, and often handles military affairs. Interestingly, Yuanwei, who was promoted by Pi Shicheng, is more interested in government affairs, and simply has a tacit understanding with Mang Wei that you are in charge of military affairs, and I am. Take charge of political affairs. So no one in Yuancheng's troika did their own thing: Wei and Cheng were secretly promoted to one level and became Linghe Wei, while Chen Si, the county magistrate, did nothing every day and only took two officials and five soldiers with him to visit talents in the countryside. Ask the old man!
The officials in Yuancheng are all the original team. The number of county soldiers in Yuancheng is limited, only a hundred, and they form a separate team. Originally, the county captain was the nominal soldier, but now the number of soldiers in Yuan County has reached 1,000, and they are nominally under the control of Yuanwei, but in fact they are under the control of Mang. He was not responsible and did not send anyone to be a doctor. Although Chen Si did not become a martial arts soldier, he went to Daliang to take the martial arts examination. After spending two or three years with Hou Ying, he was considered half a martial arts soldier. Speaking of his experiences with military soldiers, all the soldiers in Yuanxian County who were from the Wei Dynasty admired him and felt very close to Chen Si. Every day when Chen Si went to the countryside, he picked people from the local soldiers to follow him. Every day was different. Others trained with Qin Zu.
It is actually unnecessary to defend a small county with a thousand soldiers. The reason why there are so many soldiers is to deter those with evil intentions. After Chen Si wandered around for a few days, he had a rough idea of the surrounding situation. Most people didn't even know that the county chief had been changed. When Chen Si came down, he was notified by the county to the township. The township and district chiefs did not think it was strange and continued as usual, thinking that he was the newly transferred county magistrate.
The first order issued by Yuan County was to send officials to Anyi to learn Qin laws. Li Bing, the captain of Anyi, was proficient in the laws of Qin and taught them personally and arranged for them to actually handle the government affairs of Anyi. In this way, the affairs of Anyi were taken care of. Zhang Lu and Zheng Anping both respected Li Bing's knowledge, and they often listened in when he lectured. Li Bing wisely introduced to everyone: This is Anyi Shou and Cheng personally supervising the school.
After being so quiet for about half a month, Daliang sent an envoy to confer with Yuan County and was arranged to stay in Guanyi. Chen Si suddenly felt a little childlike and wanted to tease the envoy, so he went directly to Guanyi to meet with the envoy. After the meeting, it was discovered that the envoy obviously did not know the leadership team of Yuan County, and there was nothing strange about Chen Si. Chen Si was overjoyed. After returning, he and the other two people decided to carry out the counterfeiting to the end.
The next day, Chen Si personally drove to Guanyi to pick up the envoys from the county government. All county officials welcomed him as usual. Since Chen Si and Mang Wei also spoke fluent Daliang dialect; although Yuan Wei was from Qin, he had lived in Jin for a long time and occasionally answered a sentence or two in Jin accent without any problem. The envoy did not have any doubts and completed the task. After the banquet, he received the gifts and left. The specific matters of the reception will naturally be handled by the old officials, who are all familiar with it!
Chen Si received the almanac and immediately reported to Anyi: the news of the change of hands in Yuan County had not reached Daliang, and Daliang sent envoys to issue the almanac. And handed over the almanac to Anyi. Soon Anyi will report back. If envoys from Daliang arrive, they should immediately report to the county magistrate. They should not act without authorization! Chen Si and others felt a little unhappy.
The Qin calendar is different from the Wei calendar. The Qin calendar starts with the tenth month of the year, while the Wei calendar starts with the first month of the year. So the Qin Li was awarded a few months ago, while the Wei Li only arrived now.
Then a thorny issue arose: the Wei Calendar New Year is coming, is Yuan County allowed to celebrate the New Year according to the Wei Calendar? Since Yuan County was newly returned to Qin, in October, Yuan County did not celebrate the New Year according to the Qin calendar. If you fail to celebrate the Wei New Year, you will lose an important opportunity to have fun with the people and appease people's hearts; but if you celebrate the Wei New Year, you will be suspected of treason!
When Yuanxian found out that the village was preparing for the festival, he reported the matter to Anyi. A few days later, Anyi replied: "There is a custom in the wall. If there is a supervisor, you will obey it and say goodbye without a name."
With Anyi's approval, Yuan County boldly began to prepare for New Year celebrations. Chen Si led people around the countryside every day and frequently participated in annual festivals and social festivals in the countryside. The county also prepares for the county festival with the participation of county officials. The wealthy households in the city presented pigs, sheep and other items, and the most enthusiastic ones turned out to be the original Yuan Ling, Wei, and Cheng. When Chen Si saw this, he immediately ordered the three of them to serve as ministers of wine, ministers and ministers, and to be in charge of the specific matters of the county festival. As long as they did not require money or effort from the county, they would be allowed to listen to their opinions. The three of them took the opportunity to extort some money from the township, but because Chen Si frequently appeared in various townships, they generally restrained themselves.
On the day of the county festival, all the leading figures from each township arrived. Chen Si, Yuan Wei and Mang Wei officially appeared in front of the squires from all over the country and offered sacrifices to the mountains and rivers. The raging fire burned half of the sky red, and the aroma of meat and millet floated in the air. Everyone spread rumors that the ancestors and gods must be very happy. All villages shared the sacrifice of wax in the midst of joyful celebrations.
A few days after the celebration, Guanyi came again to report that another envoy had arrived in Daliang.
Chen Si was shocked and immediately sent someone to report the matter to Anyi. At the same time, he went to Guanyi to inquire about the envoy's intention.
When the envoy saw Chen Si, he looked a little surprised and asked, "Do you want to give him a new appointment?"
Chen Si replied: "Of course, spring will arrive this year."
The envoy asked: "Where is the order?"
Chen Sidao: "See you in the city."
The envoy asked: "Do you dare to see me?"
Chen Sidao: "Your Majesty, are you an old acquaintance of your old order?"
The envoy hurriedly said: "But I need an ear!"
Chen Sidao: "I have sent you to my county, but my county has lost its respect. I hope you will be kind to me!"
The envoy felt that the county magistrate must have something against him. When a new county magistrate has just taken office, he is most taboo about others distrusting him and talking about his predecessor. The envoy knows this very well. The magistrate in front of him must have misunderstood in this regard. Thinking of this, the envoy quickly burst into laughter and said: "How dare I! I just entered the post and my order came in person, which shows our friendship!" Then without waiting for Chen Si to ask questions, he explained his purpose of coming to show that he was better than Chen Si. Fourth, said: "I am now ordered by the king to build an arsenal in the border town. The wall is located in Lishan Mountain, and the hardware comes out of it. It is an important place for the arsenal. This is why I am entrusted to the order."
After hearing what the envoy said, Chen Si was secretly happy, but with a hesitant look on his face, he said: "The number of soldiers who can defeat the enemy is no more than ten thousand, and the number of regular soldiers is only a hundred. Even if there is an arsenal, how can there be so few soldiers?"
The envoy said: "Zhao has Wu'an and Han has Tangxi, both of which are military depots. Wei originally had Anyi, where salt and gold came from, but now they are lost. The only ones close to them are Yuan. There are few people in the Yuan area, but the land There is a lot of gold, and when we are working in the deep mountains, we can cut down the trees to get gold. I am afraid that Yuan is rich and common, but only for a moment! I am afraid that the new appointment will not be known. In terms of acres of land, Yuan is not enough to compete with the counties. The winner will be in Jin. Yes. But there are many weapons in the world every year, and I am afraid that Tangxi will not be enough to add more!"
Chen Si looked at the envoy with suspicion, as if he didn't believe what he said. The envoy said: "Arsenal Duanzi is a Korean. He is good at metalworking, and he makes weapons by drumming furnaces on large beams. The king was very happy. He ordered the world to imitate him."
Chen Sidao: "What are the tools, how much work is required, how much does it cost, and how much is the annual income?"
The envoy said: "Don't worry about it. The establishment of the arsenal is based on the method of the master of drawing and style. All the expenses are spent on the beams, and the walls are only for grain and mosses."
Chen Si couldn't believe that such a good thing could happen, and asked: "Where is the work style? Where is it established?"
The envoy said: "It depends on whether the order is approved or not. If the order is granted, the construction pattern will be developed overnight."
Chen Si didn't dare to show his overjoyed expression and said: "How dare you say goodbye if you are diligent in the king's affairs?"
The envoy said: "That's what the order said. If you resign, I'm afraid that the new order will be reinstated!"
Chen Si settled the envoys, hurried back to the county, and immediately discussed with the Wei and Cheng. Everyone couldn't believe that such a good thing would happen to the world. If copper smelting and iron smelting industries are built with the support of Daliang, not only Yuancheng but also Bianhedong will prosper!
Chen Si sent people to Anyi again to report the news to Zhang Lu and others. All three people decided that the copper and iron industry must be kept. A total of one night was spent on this.
The next day, Chen Si personally drove the envoy to the county government and welcomed him into the hall. The envoy took out the document and read out the decree of King Wei. The three complained to the envoy and accepted the order. The envoy said: "Since the wall has been ordered, I should ask the king to send craftsmen to the wall. There are hundreds of smelting and casting workers, which may cost more than a thousand. I hope the wall will be installed as soon as possible."
Chen Si specially invited the envoy to go around the city, discussed the resettlement plan with the envoy, and told Haoyuan County to prepare food, crops, and buildings for hundreds of workers to enter.
After the envoy left, Chen Si felt uneasy, fearing that the matter would be exposed and the Wei craftsmen would not be able to enter. Frequently sent people to explore the direction of Zhi Road. He also sent people to Anyi to ask for urgent instructions. Finally, a few days later, Anyi finally responded: He put up a wall to lure Wei craftsmen into the wall; all the guards in Hedong were stationed in Zuoyi, leaving Anyi as the prime minister. Chen Si thought to himself: It's only thirty or forty miles from Zuoyi to Anyi, so what's the point of going so far in advance?
The Qin people did not experience a fierce battle when they captured Yuancheng. After entering the city, they did not cause much disturbance to the people of the city. The Qin law was still being studied at the county level and had not been popularized downwards. On the surface, the wall city was no different from what it was in Wei's hands - except for the thousand Qin soldiers. When the envoy came, all the thousands of Qin soldiers entered the military camp, and even the routine morning exercises were cancelled.
Just when Chen Si was slandering him, a stooped old man appeared in front of the county government and asked to see the county magistrate. The officials didn't know who he was and wanted to drive him away. The old man said that he was a relative of the county magistrate and came here to visit him, but he asked the county magistrate to let him know as soon as he saw him. The officials went in to report that Chen Si was naturally not in the mansion, only Yuan Wei was in the mansion. Yuan Wei heard that Yuan Ling's relatives were coming to seek refuge, so he couldn't ignore them. When I came out and saw it, I was shocked to see that it was Zhang Lu!
