Some people in the imperial court know about Chen Mo's eastward tour. Those who are better informed will send news to the families they are familiar with. Recently, I have been more vigilant. It is not the best to do anything dirty and destructive. If there is any, please keep it to yourself.

, don’t cause public dissatisfaction, otherwise it will be difficult for the gods to save you.

The whole court knows how concerned and attentive Chen Mo is to people's livelihood, especially in the Central Plains region. In the past two years, there have been various overt and covert investigations, and local officials have been a bit corrupt. This is okay. Chen Mo also acquiesced. After all, many things in the court now require money and food.

, this time the territory expanded and the population almost doubled. Officials' salaries were often not paid in time. Many ministers in the DPRK were in arrears with their salaries for several years.

Nowadays, people and money are needed, and salaries are naturally stretched, so officials are a little greedy. As long as they don't go out of line, Chen Mo will not care about it, but if you hurt the people's livelihood, especially at this time when the whole country is restoring people's livelihood, you are

Chen Mo's relatives are not easy to use. Several members of the Zhen family have been beheaded directly. It is all for Zhen Mi's sake. If Chen Mo secretly visits this time, if Chen Mo finds out personally, the consequences will be what he wants to think about.

Bar.

It's not like no one wanted to secretly see where Chen Mo was going, so they had to prepare in advance, but Chen Mo was very concerned about his own safety. During this unannounced visit, thirty-six teams of people pretended to be Chen Mo's carriage and left separately.

It is not an easy task to find the real path when an expert like Chen Mo can hide.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Chen Mo to come down for inspection. Three months later, Chen Mo ended his inspection and returned to Luoyang. Along the way, seven county magistrates in Jizhou were dismissed. On the Central Plains, from Zhongmu to Runan

, a total of sixteen county magistrates were dismissed, leaving every county magistrate in the Central Plains region in danger.

"Zhongda, what do you mean by the Prime Minister's move?" Sima Lang, at Sima's house in Luoyang, took Sima Yi, who had just returned, and asked with a frown.

"What do you mean?" Sima Yi asked confused.

"We have dismissed twenty-three county magistrates at once. Aren't we afraid that people's hearts will be unstable?" Sima Lang asked with a frown.

"My lord's new policy has been implemented well in the Central Plains. A large number of common people and poor families have come to my lord's side." Sima Yi said with a smile after hearing this.

"What does this have to do with the removal of local county magistrates?" Sima Lang asked in astonishment.

"These people have chosen to serve the lord. Although the New Deal is beneficial to them, the court must also show some signs of getting rid of a group of outdated and incompetent officials, and then select a new group of officials from these people. At the same time, they will exclude the Taixue disciples.

Let it go, so that local forces will not resist too much, and the lord can also use this to change the old official system step by step. After five or ten years, I am afraid that the Central Plains will be like Guanzhong, and local officials will be completely controlled by Tai

As a disciple, these Central Plains common people from poor families have no choice but to enter the academy. These twenty-three county magistrates are just a test for the Lord. If successful, more people with insufficient talents and virtues will be expelled.

Eliminate it." Sima Yi explained with a smile.

"I see." Sima Lang frowned when he heard this: "Why does the Prime Minister always like to start from the local level when seizing power?"

"No matter how fierce the fighting in the country is, it will not affect the local area. Whether the country and the country can be stable depends entirely on the local area. It may seem laborious, but it is actually the root of the problem. Brother, seeing how fierce the fighting in the country was in the past, it can be

Can anyone really shake the Prime Minister's position?" Sima Yi laughed.

Chen Mo's roots are local, so no matter how fierce the opposition forces in the DPRK are, they can't shake Chen Mo. Look at these years, even if there are still people who oppose Chen Mo, Chen Mo's foundation is becoming more and more stable, and you will find that young people

Some, most of them are on Chen Mo's side.

Those old officials of the Han Dynasty will eventually fade out of the court, and as these people gradually withdraw from the stage of history, the number of people in the court and even the world who are loyal to the Han Dynasty will become fewer and fewer until they disappear.

Seeing this, Sima Yi chose to stand by Chen Mo from the beginning, and even wanted to pull the Sima family to join the team. However, it was not him who had the final say in the Sima family's current situation.

"Huh!" Just as Sima Yi was talking eloquently, a cold snort came from behind him.

Sima Yi was startled, quickly handed over his hand to edit, and stepped aside.

"Chen Mo rebelled against the imperial court and deceived the emperor. Although he is strong now, he will not die well in the future. You little thief must not implicate our Sima family in the future!" Sima Fang gave Sima Yi a cold look and said disdainfully.

.

"That's what father said." Sima Yi lowered his head and lowered his hands, knowing that his father wanted to see him now. As for arguing, it was completely meaningless. Sima Yi didn't bother to argue. Time will tell everything.

"Father, I heard that the Prime Minister has returned to court?" Sima Lang quickly took the robe that Sima Fang took off and asked.

"Yes." Sima Fang nodded, glanced at Sima Yi, who was looking down on him, and frowned: "If it is as you just said, the selection of the magistrates of the twenty-three counties should be carefully calculated.

Let that traitor be proud!"

"It's useless, father. Unless all twenty-three county magistrates reject it, even if only one or two are promoted, then the prime minister's goal will be achieved." Sima Yi shook his head and smiled.

Rejected all? How is that possible?

Although Sima Fang was quite dissatisfied with Chen Mo, he also knew that this was impossible. Not to mention that Chen Mo was selected normally according to the rules of the imperial court. Even if it wasn't, who would Chen Mo want to promote? Not to mention that he was the only one, Sima Fang, with all the civil and military personnel of the court.

Chen Mo's proposal cannot be completely rejected at the same time, and the twenty-three county magistrates are indeed corrupt, perverting the law, and oppressing the people. Even Sima Fang can't see it, and he can't say anything to keep them in office.

Bringing humiliation to oneself.

"Father, the law of heaven is normal. The change of dynasties is a normal thing. Why should my father go against the prime minister because of this? The prime minister may have, but my father sees that the world is much better under the prime minister's governance than before. What's more, my father

Why..." Sima Yi laughed.

"Shut up!" Sima Fang pointed at Sima Yi and cursed: "You treacherous son, our Sima family is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, how can we boast about this rebellious minister and traitor!?"

Sima Yi reluctantly chose to shut up. Facts have proved that it is irrational to confront Chen Mo. However, he could not persuade his father, so he could only secretly control it and save the family when necessary. Anyway, with his father's ability,

To be honest, it can't make any big waves.

"Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find out who are the county magistrates promoted this time? Are there any disciples in Taiyuan College who can be won over?" Finally, Sima Fang asked Sima Yi again.

"Here~" Sima Yi was feeling depressed. Hearing this, he quickly got up to say goodbye and ran away.

When they arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chen Mo was discussing matters with Xun You. Jia Xu was sitting beside the old god. When he saw Sima Yi coming in, he nodded and smiled at him.

Sima Yi hurriedly made a return gift. Although this old man didn't do anything on weekdays, he didn't seem to have anything special about him. He gave off the biggest impression that he was kind, but Sima Yi didn't dare to be disrespectful to Jia Xu at all. He looked like a human being and an animal.

The harmless old man almost overthrew the Han Dynasty with his words back then. Chen Mo treated him with great respect. How could Sima Yi dare to show off in front of Jia Xu... There was no one in the entire Prime Minister's Palace who could show off like Sima Yi.

"Zhongda is here." Yang Xiu saw Sima Yi on the side and waved to him. In this Prime Minister's Mansion, in terms of family background, they were the tallest among them, and they were relatively easy to talk to on weekdays.

"What happened?" Sima Yi knelt down next to Yang Xiu and asked.

"There has been a flood in Runan, and we are discussing disaster relief. In addition, Shouchun has been constantly harassed by Jiangdong this year, and three county magistrates have died. The county magistrates in that area have resigned one after another, and they are discussing their replacements." Yang Xiu

whispered.

Jiangdong.

Sima Yi nodded. Since Chen Mo pacified the Central Plains, although fishermen have been recruited to form a navy in the East China Sea, Langya and other places, there are no generals who are good at water warfare. Jiangdong is so presumptuous now because there is no navy here.

Next, we should start to sign signs across the country for generals who are good at water warfare.

However, most of these generals are found in Jiangdong, the Jingxiang area, and Jianghuai. However, the Central Plains has not relied on water wars in recent years. Now when preparing for water wars, talents with this talent have already been discovered by Jiangdong. Now they want to form a water war.

The military is not easy.

"Since we can't find any water warfare generals, let's practice it ourselves!" Chen Mo was also a little troubled by this matter. Water warfare is different from land warfare. There are no generals who are good at water warfare. Even if fishermen are trained into water armies,

Without the command of a general, it cannot exert its power.

"My lord, there are no generals in our army who are good at water warfare. How can we practice this?" Xun You said with a bitter smile.

"Look for those water pirates along the coast. If you can surrender, we will surrender. If you can't, we will fight." Chen Mo patted the table: "I will publish a book on water warfare as soon as possible and let all generals try it. Here is

Talented people can be sent to mobilize the navy."

"My lord is also good at water fighting?" Yang Xiu asked curiously.

"I have read some books describing the formation method in the water, but I have never fought a water battle, so now I am focusing on defending Jiangdong to see if the methods recorded in my books are useful. This method of war is also practiced. This

There is no other way." Chen Mo shook his head. He has never fought in a water battle, but he plans to go to the system gods to learn how to fight, and then write a book and give it to the generals to try. Now Chen Mo has many generals under his command.

, he didn’t believe that there was no one suitable for a water fight.

"Prime Minister!" Sima Yi clasped his fists and said with a smile, "I think that I can send a spy to Jiangdong to search. If I can persuade one or two Jiangdong military generals to surrender, wouldn't this naval army get twice the result with half the effort?"

"Zhongda is right." Chen Mo nodded: "Let Zhongda do this."

Chen Mo couldn't explain the existence of system gods to others, and he didn't need to explain anything. Moreover, Sima Yi's method was not wrong, so Chen Mo decided to try it together. It would be best if he could recruit a few navy generals. If not, this would

Even the naval generals who train themselves will not be left behind.
