"My lord, why do you feel that you are much busier than before after coming to Chang'an?" Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo and said on the way back home after running around for a day.

"No matter where it is, there must be a lot of things to deal with when it is just occupied. I don't have to do everything personally, but at least I should know what is going on. When I first arrived in Anyi, I was never idle, not to mention that Luoyang is bigger than Anyi.

How much do the people in the city make a living? Where do the government taxes come from? What are the overt and covert rules of Chang'an City? I must at least know them. I also have to visit these famous people in the city one by one.

There are so many things to worry about." Chen Mo shook his head, Chang'an had been harmed by Li Jue and Guo Si for so long, leaving a lot of mess, all of which had to be dealt with by Chen Mo.

The biggest problem is that because the Xiliang army often plunders the people, the people have lost trust in the government offices. The people are skeptical of many of the policies that Chen Mo promulgated to benefit the people. In addition, the Xiliang army who surrendered

, there were also generals who were prone to plundering, which caused many problems.

Yesterday, Chen Mo had just personally ordered the generals of the Xiliang Army who were robbing people and property to be killed in public on the street. However, the Xiliang Army, which was used to Li Jue and Guo Si's habit of robbing people without money, continued to riot.

For this reason, Chen Mo has sent a letter to Gao Shun to come to Chang'an. This Xiliang army needs to be reformed. But at the moment, Chen Mo still needs the combat power of the Xiliang army. At least until Li Guo is pacified, Chen Mo can only try to restrain him.

, appease, when the battle is over, these Xiliang troops will have to retrain. At least the military regulations and military discipline cannot be messed up. The way Xiliang eats is not acceptable in the Central Plains.

In fact, Chen Mo questioned many generals. Dong Zhuo had reorganized the Xiliang Army. When he was in Luoyang, the military discipline displayed by the Xiliang Army was not as bad as it is now. But after Dong Zhuo's death, the Xiliang Army had no restraint, and Li Jue

, Guo Si's intentional connivance caused Dong Zhuo to break the rules that he had spent several years gradually forming.

Many things are like this. It is difficult to establish, but it is only a matter of words to destroy. But if you want to make a difference and go far, you must establish perfect rules to restrain it.

"These bullshit celebrities are not as capable as Mr. Bozhe, but their airs are so big that it's unbearable." Dian Wei snorted dissatisfied.

Chen Mo gave Dian Wei a funny look. Not to mention his cultivation and so on, Cai Yong was his father-in-law. How could it be the same for such a distant relative? If he hadn't had such an identity, those celebrities might not be willing to see him.

That's the bad thing about following rules. Some people will be arrogant with you. After all, a big man is very particular about his family background. No matter how powerful Chen Mo is, in the eyes of many people, he is still a junior, a child, the kind who has never seen the world.

"Stop talking about this, has Xu Shu arrived?" Chen Mo did not continue the topic. Since he chose to be a scholar, he had to abide by the rules of a scholar. There was no way to explain these things to Dian Wei.

"Calculate the time, it should be here." Dian Wei said as he walked.

"He's here, let him go directly to Huaili. Taishi Ci has to have someone to advise him." Chen Mo said as he walked. Mainly because he had someone to help with matters other than military affairs. In addition, he also gave Taishi Ci advice for this battle.

, I’m afraid the fight won’t be finished in a while, but Fufeng, Chen Mo must get it. With Fufeng, all the three assistants in Guanzhong will be his. At least Guo Si must be driven away. Today’s Guanzhong has a serious population loss, Chen Mo

This situation must be stabilized as soon as possible. A crippled Guanzhong is definitely not what Chen Mo wants.

It was already evening when the two returned to the government office. Li Ru was handling paperwork. When he saw Chen Mo coming back, he quickly stood up and saluted: "My lord, according to what my lord said, the household registration for the three counties of Jingzhao, Fengyi and Hongnong has been established."

However, Lantian, Shangluo and other places in the Jingzhao area have not yet been occupied."

"There's no rush. Let's retreat Guo Si first. Then all the cities will be ours. If Guo Si is here, it will be useless no matter how many cities he occupies. On the contrary, it will destroy people's livelihood. All you need is to have your household registration in hand. You can go there

These counties have sent county magistrates and county lieutenants to control the household registration and farmland first, and don't let others take advantage of the war to annex the farmland." Chen Mo sat down and took the household register handed over by Li Ru. Guanzhong went through Dong Zhuo one after another.

Li Jue, Guo Si, and many other scholars died, and many even had their families wiped out. However, Chen Mo found that there were not many vacant fields.

Even if he didn't check, Chen Mo knew why these fields were gone. Chen Mo could make concessions on the farmland, but Chen Mo couldn't make concessions on household registration. The most important thing in Guanzhong was the population. Without the population, Chen Mo's lifeline would be destroyed.

Once the person is caught, he cannot compromise with anyone on this point.

"Here!" Li Ru nodded in agreement and continued to immerse himself in the documents. Now, the most tired person around Chen Mo is probably Li Ru. He has the most things to do. He has to help Chen Mo raise food and grass, and at the same time, he has to deal with a lot of government affairs.

"Lord, Sikong is outside asking for an audience." Not long after he rested, he saw his own bodyguard coming to report.

"Please!" Chen Mo nodded. Although Zhao Wen had not pledged allegiance, in fact, before Chen Mo welcomed back the emperor, Chen Mo could not command Zhao Wen's title. However, the two of them got along well, and Chen Mo also did some things.

I will ask Zhao Wen for help.

Soon, Zhao Wen came in with one person. When he saw Chen Mo, he smiled and said, "I hope Bo Dao won't be surprised if you are bothering me at this time."

"What are you talking about, sir?" Chen Mo smiled and shook his head, but looked at the man behind Zhao Wen and said, "Mr. Yuan Chang?"

"I have met Bingzhou Mu." The visitor smiled and said, "I have heard for a long time that the envoy has a photographic memory. I remember that the last time I met with the envoy was in Luoyang."

"Mr. Yuan Chang is ridiculous." Chen Mo shook his head and said with a smile: "Mr. has an extraordinary bearing and is very different from other people. Once you have seen him, I am afraid it will be difficult to forget him."

The person who came was Tingwei Zheng Zhong Yao. When Chen Mo was in Luoyang, Yuan Shao met him at a banquet. Zhong Yao was already a famous person in the world at that time, and Chen Mo had just joined the circle of scholars, so the two sides were just polite at that time. Now Chen Mo

After conquering Chang'an, Zhong Yao kept claiming to be ill. Chen Mo had prepared to visit him in a few days, but he didn't expect Zhong Yao to come by himself today.

The three of them didn't talk about anything big. They just talked about the recent situation in Guanzhong and how to defeat the enemy. But in fact, Chen Mo defeated Li Jue as quickly as possible, but it also made Guo Si wary. Now Guo Si

It has entered a state of comprehensive defense. It will not be easy to defeat Guo Si like Li Jue.

Zhong Yao gave Chen Mo some good suggestions. Now Guo Si is at a disadvantage. Many problems that were not too serious before will gradually emerge as Li Guo splits and Chang'an falls. For example, there are many factions under his command, including Duan Xuan.

Although Liang Xing and other generals obeyed Guo Si's orders, they had great autonomy. Previously, Li Guo and Li Guo had enough space for these generals to occupy Guanzhong, but now Chen Mo has occupied Chang'an, and Guo Si's

If the territory is reduced, some people will naturally be dissatisfied.

In fact, it is not difficult to provoke these people. You can slow down the offensive against Guo Si appropriately and provide them with enough time and space for internal fighting.

"A good conversation with Mr. Yuan Chang is better than ten years of reading." Chen Mo looked at the sky and smiled at the two of them: "It's getting late, I've already prepared a banquet, how about we talk about it during the dinner?

"

"That's what I meant." Zhong Yao nodded and said, "You will benefit a lot from being able to talk to the envoy."

Zhong Yao was indeed a little surprised by how much Chen Mo had learned. Chen Mo was proficient in military arts, internal affairs, economics and even farming. Even with a photographic memory, his former reputation as a child prodigy was worthy of his name. But Chen Mo would only turn twenty next year. If not,

When talking to Chen Mo face to face, Zhong Yao even thought that he was communicating with some great scholar.

Now it seems that Chen Mo's success is no accident or luck. This young man does have extraordinary talents and is an all-rounder. It is not easy for his subordinates to fool him. This is a good thing, but there are

Being too shrewd as a leader is not always a good thing.

Chen Mo introduced the two of them into the inner hall. A small banquet had been set up. A maid poured wine for the three of them. Chen Mo raised the wine glass and said with a smile: "Mr. Yuan Chang, I have passed the test. Now it's time to talk about business."

Alright?"

Zhong Yao was startled, then nodded and said, "I'm here to see you this time. We really have something to discuss."

"Oh?" Chen Mo and Zhong Yao drank together and said, "Mr. Yuan Chang, please give me some advice."

"I shouldn't take the advice seriously." Zhong Yao shook his head and said, "I have also studied the laws and regulations implemented by the emperor in Bingzhou. I often discuss the laws and regulations in Bingzhou with others. Your talents are indeed extraordinary, but have you ever considered it?

This method is feasible in Bingzhou, but it may not be applicable to Guanzhong."

Chen Mo nodded and said: "Indeed, it consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. It can only be done in Bingzhou, but if more places are involved, corruption can easily breed."

Regarding the issue of rule of law and rule of virtue, Chen Mo has discussed with people more than once. The system of Bingzhou is already very complete, but if this system is extended to Guanzhong, the manpower consumed will not be able to become larger, or even enough to build an army.

Moreover, the territory is so large that unless there is a Chen Mo in charge of each state, otherwise, if Chen Mo continues to promote the state-merging system with Chen Mo alone, it is very likely that the system that allowed Chen Mo to quickly accumulate strength in the first place will become a stumbling block that backfires on Chen Mo.

The most critical point is that Chen Mo's system in Bingzhou completely broke the old rules. The backlash was not only the problems caused by its own inability to implement it, but more importantly, this system touched almost the entire scholar circle.

Interests, and in today's world, without the support of scholars, it is difficult to move forward, but if you compromise too much with the scholars, the lord Chen Mo will become like a puppet.

Chen Mo needed the support of the scholars, but he was unwilling to be dominated by others. Although he established the academy, Chen Mo knew very well that within ten years, it would be difficult to compete with the scholars with the talents cultivated by the academy, and the talents of the academy

He will also become a scholar in the future.
