After Man Chong finished reporting, Qin Ge handed a roll of Huang Juan to Man Chong. Man Chong spread out Huang Juan. There was a list on it, which was the appointment list of the imperial court. Seeing that there were dozens of people on the dense list, They are all meritorious people who have made great contributions to the Free Territory. On that day, Qin Ge and Liu Dai were bargaining, one of which was to obtain official positions for their subordinates. Now that Qin Ge has regained the county seats of Mou County and Bo County, and Qin Ge has been promoted to the rank of Huyue Xiaowei, now that there are vacancies in the county magistrates of the two counties, Qin Ge will seek positions from his subordinates.
Qin Ge ordered Feng Lie to be his deputy Sima of the other departments, Man Chong was the magistrate of Mou County, Chen Yuan was the magistrate of Bo County, Sun Guan was the county captain of Mou County, Qin Jiwu was the county captain of Bo County, and Mao Jie was Mou. Wei Sanniang was the county magistrate of Bo County. At the same time, Dian Wei, Liao Hua, Qin Jiben, Qin Jizong, Wu Anguo, Li Bian, You Yong and other military generals were all granted the title of county officials, military princes, etc.
Although Man Chong had great ambitions to follow Qin Ge, his hands trembled slightly when he saw the appointment document. He had just been dismissed from office by the county when he followed Qin Ge. Although he had the world in mind, he was still in vain after working diligently in the free field for such a long time. He did not have a dream of making contributions and honoring his ancestors.
Qin Ge saw Man Chong's expression and showed a clear look. He led his subordinates to start a business. If you don't give your subordinates a way out, how can they work for you? It seems that this time he succeeded in his big gamble, and these official positions will He would rally the hearts of the generals in the territory for him, and said with a smile: "Liu Dai promised me that to remove the posts of county magistrate and other commanders, I need to be personally conferred by the imperial court. Liu Dai will take this matter together with my post of guardian of the school." The application was submitted to the court. I believe that the formal appointment document will be issued soon, eh! At the same time, Liu Dai promised to show the merits of Liao Hua and Chen Yuan to the court and absolve them of their crimes. Liu Dai, the officials under the county magistrate, has the authority to appoint. Now the appointment document, The seal and token have been delivered to me, Man Chong can issue this appointment, seal and token to everyone!"
Nowadays, the official positions in the imperial court are monopolized by aristocratic families, and every official position is basically held by the children of aristocratic families. However, people like Man Chong and Chen Yuan who were born in small families will end up being county magistrates in their lifetime if they are not appreciated by the big shots. Although Mou County and Bo County are in the areas of the Fourth War, perhaps in Liu Dai's eyes, these two counties will be conquered by the Yellow Turban bandits soon. Even if they are not conquered, they will be surrounded by bandits on all sides and will not be able to gain a foothold at all, so Qin Ge will do it. However, for Man Chong and others, with this official position, they officially re-entered the official career and entered the management class of the Han Dynasty.
"My lord has paid the price of the Yi clan for us, and my lord has been ruined. It's hard to repay my lord for what happened!" Man Chong's eyes were wet with emotion, and he kowtowed hard on the ground, and the ground made a thumping sound!
Qin Ge quickly helped Man Chong up and said: "Bo Ning! Brothers sacrificed their lives and blood for me. I swear to share wealth and honor with my brothers! Our road will be broader tomorrow!" Man Chong nodded vigorously with tears in his eyes. .
Qin Ge took out the silver mineral vein unblocking order from his arms and said: "Bo Ning, this mineral vein is the dragon gas unblocking order. Our free territory now only has two mines, one iron mine and one copper mine. Well, we Use this order on iron mines, and then we will have copper and silver mines!"
Man Chong saw excitement flashing in his eyes when he saw the unblocking order: "Lord! It seems that you have returned from this trip to Mount Tai with a full load! Now I understand why you issued such a military order! Chong just doesn't think so, the iron ore in the free territory It was nurtured by the Tianjie Earth Veins, but the copper mine in Shixia Town was different. It was formed in ordinary earth veins, which can only mean that the place is connected to the Taishan Mountains. Otherwise, even if the Tianjie Earth Veins wanted to breed It will take more than ten years to produce copper-grade veins, so this unblocking order for copper mines may be able to open up part of the Taishan veins, which will not only expand the mining volume, but there may be surprises!”
Now that the trade route with the Mi family is open, copper mines can be imported from Xuzhou. Qin Ge smiled and said: "In that case, Boning, you are fully responsible! In addition, after the plan between me and Mr. Chen Gong, the Battle of Mount Tai entered the second stage of the confrontation. , the Taishan coalition army is going to be divided into three routes. The army on the north route is commanded by Zang Ba, the middle route is due to the ban, and you, Boning, will be in charge of the south route. After you handle the territorial government affairs as soon as possible, please go to the Laiwu border to preside over military affairs first to cooperate with Jizong and Yi. Take action to make Mr. Chen's plan carry out smoothly!" Qin Ge fully explained Chen Gong's plan to Man Chong.
Man Chong's eyes flickered and he exclaimed: "Mr. Chen is really a god! Don't worry, my lord, Chong Bi will not let you down!" In the Free Territory, Man Chong has always been in charge of government affairs and marching and fighting. He is definitely a Free Territory. Optimus Prime!
Man Chong stood up and bowed again: "Tomorrow there will be a Qin clan meeting, my lord, you must act cautiously and be on guard to prevent disaster from happening to Xiao Qiang!"
Qin Ge laughed and said: "I once told you that the Qin family is a seed. At this time, the people who dominate the Qin family are Jiwu and other energetic young people. I believe they can understand what I mean!" Man Chong was silent. After a while, he clasped his fists and turned around to leave.
At dawn the next day, Man Chong posted the appointment documents that Qin Ge had brought back on the obituary notice. Now that the Free Leader was facing the disaster of extinction, people inside were panicking. If this obituary notice was published, it would definitely be able to raise the awareness of the people. Boost morale and unite people's hearts.
Sure enough, as soon as the obituary came out, many people gathered around, and Man Chong wrote a sensational announcement at the end, which meant that Qin Ge risked his life to pray for the brothers of the Free Leader. This matter spread quickly in the Free Leader.
In front of the Qin clan's ancestral hall, the adult children of the Qin family came to the ancestral hall one after another. The clan elders convened a clan meeting, and many elders in the clan came in advance.
Qin Jiben came to the ancestral hall, and when he turned around, he found Qin Jiwu standing quietly in the ancestral hall, "You are really early!"
Qin Jiwu looked at Qin Jiben who was covered in dust and rushed back from the defense line and said: "Jizong set out yesterday with the wolf cavalry army map. I don't know how big brother can turn the tide this time!"
Qin Jiben was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and said, "I heard that the elders are very dissatisfied with eldest brother. Some people plan to use this clan meeting to punish eldest brother?"
"It seems that the elders have also looked for you?" Qin Jiwu looked at Qin Jiben meaningfully.
Qin Jiben's face flashed with anger and he said: "They are so shameless. They actually divided our brotherhood and made us fight against the eldest brother! I will go find these clan elders right now!"
"The ambitions of the eldest brother are different from those of the clan elders, which results in their different visions. Where the Qin clan will go does not depend on the eldest brother. The eldest brother is only at the helm, and each of us Qin clan members make up this big ship, so it depends on How do we all choose?" A gentle voice stopped Qin Jiben, and it was Qin Jili who came.
"Jili is right! Nowadays, the development of the Qin tribe has undergone qualitative changes compared to before. However, after the people of the tribe have a good life, they have begun to have a hedonistic style of being content with the status quo, building gorgeous residences, and advocating hedonistic style. Gradually rising, the eldest brother's ambition is to restore the glory of the Qin Dynasty. In his hegemonic era, everyone evolves and everyone becomes a god! Ji Zong has led the wolf cavalry regiment to leave, he has made a choice, and now is the time for us to make a choice Now! Should we live a stable life and enjoy a leisurely and wealthy life, or should we strive to become gods and create a prosperous and prosperous world with our eldest brother?" Qin Jixue talked eloquently and followed Qin Jili in. As Zang Jie's deputy, Qin Jixue was extremely busy, while Qin Jili was in charge of agricultural affairs in the western district of Mou County. Because they knew that this clan meeting was of great importance, the two of them rushed back overnight, with even bloodshot eyes.
Qin Jixue and Qin Jili analyzed the situation, and now Qin Ge's military order has become the trigger, which has evolved into a dispute over the Qin family's development philosophy, as well as a dispute over political power between the younger and older generations of the Qin family.
"The clan elder has been contacting everyone in the clan everywhere, but the eldest brother has not contacted us or anyone in the Qin family. In other words, he lets us make our own choices! Because the Qin clan belongs to everyone!" Qin Jixue looked at the three of them and said .
"In the past, the Qin people lived in remote areas in the countryside and lived like a lost dog under the power of the Han Dynasty. Since I followed my eldest brother, although I have often faced life and death situations, I have lived a very fulfilling life. This is what I think I, Qin Jiben, am willing to sacrifice everything for the life I want, for my elder brother, and for the hegemony and prosperity!" Qin Jiben was eager to express his feelings first. At the same time, he watched Qin Jiwu and others. Qin Jili and Qin Jixue nodded and looked at Qin Jiwu.
"In the past six months following my eldest brother, the development of the Qin family has been unprecedented, which also proves the correctness of my eldest brother's strategy! Now that the eldest brother is removed from the clan, the younger generation is led by us and the five Jizongs. We are not just Mao who lives in the countryside now. Boss, we have become the pillars of the Qin family! Then we have the obligation to work with our eldest brother to support the hegemony and achieve the glory of the Qin Dynasty!" Qin Jiwu looked at the four of them and said solemnly. Qin Jiben and others' eyes narrowed. This Qin Jiwu was preparing to unite the power of the younger generation to compete with the clan elders.
Qin Jili shook his head and said: "This is not possible! Jiwu, you must know that any decision must be made with the eldest brother at the core. We will wait and see what happens and watch the eldest brother make decisions instead of making our own decisions!" Seeing that the three of them disagreed, Qin Jili said coldly. Said: "Etiquette is the fundamental principle of human ethics. If it is overstepped, it is equivalent to shaking the authority of the eldest brother. Jiwu, you have to be measured in some things! You can't go overboard even one cent!"
Qin Jixue nodded thoughtfully, while Qin Jiwu was stunned for a moment and cupped his fists at Qin Jili and said, "Thank you! I've learned a lesson!" Qin Jiben was a little baffled as he watched the three of them play riddles.
At this time, people from the Qin clan arrived one after another, and led by the clan heads of each family, they entered the clan seats one after another. Qin Fukian accompanied the clan elders into the ancestral hall.
After the clan elders took their seats, they glanced around the circle of ancestral disciples and asked, "Why didn't Qin Jizong arrive?"
"Zhongzhang led the wolf cavalry regiment to fight in a bloody battle. Unlike some people in the clan who have nothing to do after being full and have nothing to do all day long!" Qin Jiben had a hot temper and could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He stared at The clan elders said with unkind expressions.
"Asshole! How can you, a junior like you, be allowed to act arrogantly when discussing affairs in the clan? Qin Boxi is getting more and more outrageous. After he succeeded the clan leader, the people in the clan became more and more unruly!" All the clan leaders were threatened by Qin Jiwu yesterday, and now Being angered by Qin Jiben again made them even more angry, and they took the opportunity to start finding fault with Qin Ge.
"You have to earn face by yourself. Only by making great contributions to the clan and blessing your descendants can you gain the respect of future generations! The emperor's descendants fought bloody battles for the Qin clan. What's wrong with this? How can it be said to be presumptuous!" Qin Jixue talked eloquently. . Qin Jiwu held down the angry Qin Jiben.
The faces of the elders of the clan were unusually ugly. Qin Jiwu and the other five are the leaders of the younger generation of the Qin family. In recent times, they have continued to make great achievements, and their prestige has even gradually surpassed that of their uncles such as Qin Fukian. Their strength has improved rapidly, and they have even surpassed their uncles. They originally planned to use these five young juniors to check Qin Ge. Unexpectedly, these five people seemed to have been brainwashed.
An elder of the clan coughed and said: "The purpose of holding this clan meeting is to discuss how Boxi will issue a military order to the Yanzhou Prefecture at the cost of annihilating the clan! Now our clan is developing well, with a prosperous population and a good life. Our clan has risen. However, Boxi's behavior has the same lawless nature as others, crazy and reckless, more than strong but not soft enough. If Qin Boxi is indulged again, the Qin family may be destroyed!"
Qin Jili clasped his fists and said, "The clan has laws, and the clan leader presides over all matters discussed. But now that the clan leader has not arrived, we are arbitrarily discussing the clan leader, which is contrary to the laws of our ancestors!"
All the clan elders turned pale with anger, but Qin Jili used the clan law as the basis, so they had nothing to say. People from the Qin clan came in one after another and saw Qin Jiwu and others angrily attacking the clan elders. Qin Fukian, Qin Fuhuo and other clan leaders and their direct clansmen knew this well and remained silent, while the Qin clan's common people were whispering.
At this time, Qin Ge stepped into the ancestral hall and felt that the atmosphere of the Taoist Council was a bit rigid. He smiled and said: "What are you doing, holding a clan meeting, the atmosphere is so solemn!"
