The result of the competition is like this, and Jiang Wei has no choice.

He lost in broad daylight, without any off-field factors.

Jiang Wei looked at Guo Chengzhi with a complicated expression, and finally closed his eyes with a look of reluctance on his face.

"I lost."

When Guo Chengzhi heard this, he breathed a lot of relief and couldn't wait to look at Guo Peng.

"Dafu, Chengzhi did not disappoint you."

"Um."

Guo Peng walked up to Guo Chengzhi and patted him on the shoulder: "I deserve to be my grandson."

Guo Chengzhi's pale sweaty face showed a satisfied smile.

After praising his grandson, Guo Peng walked to Jiang Wei's side again and patted Jiang Wei on the shoulder.

"Although you didn't win, you fought for the last breath. You are a man worthy of your opponent's admiration, a good man."

Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment, his breathing became more rapid than before, and his face became rosy.

"And, if you really want to say it, you just decided the winner, but you didn't decide on life and death. The last blow, Chengzhi, if it was a real life and death duel just now, you no longer have the strength to kill Jiang Wei, you are also very dangerous, right?"

Guo Chengzhi could not refute Guo Peng's words.

"What the eldest father said."

"So, Chengzhi, you can defeat him but you can't kill him. This is an unstoppable victory, you don't have a complete victory."

After saying that, Guo Peng looked at Jiang Wei again.

"Jiang Wei, you are indeed not killed, but this does not mean that you can turn defeat into victory. Cavalry falling off a horse on the battlefield is basically equivalent to death in battle. You won't misunderstand this principle. You fell off a horse just now, which is equivalent to death. Now, do you still think that you, the number one in Longxi, is very honorable?"

Jiang Wei looked ashamed.

"Students will no longer recognize this."

"Are you still young? You still have infinite possibilities. Don't limit your vision to one place, but go to a place that is more suitable for you? Jiang Wei? If possible? Go to Luoyang. Luoyang Imperial Academy has gathered the most talented people in the world. Where? Can you be stronger than you are now."

Guo Peng finally patted Jiang Wei on the shoulder? Then he left the Longxi Military Horse Farm with Guo Chengzhi who was so tired that he was exhausted and ended the short one-day patrol.

Everything you should know, what you should do, what you should do? There are unexpected gains.

"Big Father? That Jiang Wei..."

"What? Do you care about him?"

"Chengzhi has not completely defeated him."

Guo Chengzhi's face also had a look of unwillingness like Jiang Wei.

"Will he go to Luoyang? Will you meet in Luoyang? Although that will happen several years later? But you must also work hard to strengthen your body and make you stronger than you are now. As we go along, you must become stronger all the way, otherwise? You will be surpassed by him."

Guo Peng said so.

Guo Chengzhi's face tightened.

"Chengzhi knows."

It seems that the name Jiang Wei has been engraved in Guo Chengzhi's mind? It is probably not so easy to forget.

Later? Guo Peng took Guo Chengzhi back to Hanyang County, joined forces to continue moving westward, and arrived at Guzang County, Wuwei County, the capital of Liangzhou Prefecture.

It is also the location of the current governor of Liangzhou, Lu Qian.

Lu Qian is also an old man in the Guo Wei regime, and is one of the group of people who defected to Guo Peng after Guo Peng occupied Yanzhou.

Over the years, he has worked as diligently as Mao Jie, wandering around the local area, but has never been able to get the opportunity to enter the central government.

In fact, this is also the method of checks and balances by Guo. It is impossible to let too many Yanzhou people and Qingzhou people enter the central government to dominate the national policy. What the central government wants is to embrace all rivers and to be able to openly accept people from any region, not to be particularly biased towards a certain group, nor to specifically reject a certain group.

For example, the Eastern Han government was dominated by the Kanto Scholars Group, and their policy of discriminating against Kanto made the conflict between Kanto and Kanto severe. The people of Guanxi, especially Liangzhou, almost stopped treating themselves as Han people and distrust the central court very much.

After Mao Jie was transferred to the position of governor of Yongzhou, Guo Peng promoted Lu Qian to take over as governor of Liangzhou.

He sent scholars from Kanto to become officials because he wanted to bridge the rift between Kansai and Kanto.

Of course, there are also ideas to cultivate his higher-level political abilities.

In the position of state governor, Xiang Ying has to face the constraints and infringement of the central organization, and the opposition of the head of the county and county administrative department, disrespect, and simply dancing with iron chains, and dancing wonderfully and elegantly is really difficult.

But in other words, if you can get along well with the central institutions and county leaders in this position, at least you can live up to your face and do something, then the political ability and emotional intelligence of this state governor are definitely first-class and very excellent.

Therefore, rather than saying that this is Guo Peng’s restriction and suppression, it is better to say that this is the last level of the carp leaping over the dragon gate. After passing this level, the governor’s political ability will be highly recognized and the possibility of entering the central government will be greatly improved.

And there are really not many such people.

Mao Jie counted half of it - he danced with iron chains and did things, but he didn't get along well with local colleagues and failed to handle the relationship between colleagues well.

Despite this, he is also a very outstanding senior political talent, and Guo Peng has already intentionally transferred him to the central government as the helm of the Ministry of Finance.

As long as he can properly deal with the upcoming economic depression and gain enough reputation.

Wang Can’s biggest advantage is that he is obedient, he is to follow his orders, rather than proposing economic policies himself.

When Guo Peng was there, Wang Can could cooperate with Guo Peng to carry out economic reforms well. Guo Jin did not have the economic means like Guo Peng, and needed a relatively strong and experienced broker to be his wallet butler.

Compared to Mao Jie's relatively strong and high-profile, Lu Qian is more low-key and not strong.

When he was appointed as a member of Liangzhou, Xiao Gui and Cao Sui had no achievements. He continued to implement Mao Jie's policies and did not restore the boundaries of the market.

If you want to say the difference, it is probably because Lu Qian asked the county magistrates and county magistrates to cooperate with him to restrict more wine shops and hotels in all counties and counties in Liangzhou.

He demanded that the entire Liangzhou area begin to reduce the scale of commercial scale, and at the same time, more personnel are sent to open up land and cultivate land, to curb commercial development to a certain extent and encourage agricultural reclamation.

This behavior is not welcomed by the heads of counties and counties in Liangzhou, and its implementation is limited. Therefore, in recent years, Lu Qian has been constantly inspecting various counties and counties, requiring the heads of counties to follow suit.

He is not simple.

There are so many county magistrates in the world. The reason why Guo Peng chose the then governor of Shangdang County as the governor of Liangzhou was that he submitted a memorial to Guo Peng at that stall.

In the report, Lu Qian raised his views on the Mao Jie incident that caused a lot of controversy at that time.

He said that it is OK to develop business in Liangzhou, but this is not without hidden dangers.

The hidden danger is that once the external environment changes, the commercial situation in Liangzhou will also change. By that time, Liangzhou people may not be able to predict and make preparations in advance.

He said that the development of Liangzhou and even the development of the Western Regions depended on the peace and stability of the Kushan Empire and the Anxu Empire.

Once this peace and stability are affected, the situation in Liangzhou and the Western Regions will change, and Your Majesty must observe it.

After reading this memorial, Guo Peng saw the broad vision that Lu Qian had, which was a very rare ability that officials of the Wei Empire at that time.

So he made up his mind to be promoted to Lu Qian as the governor of Liangzhou and put Lu Qian in Liangzhou.

Now it seems that Lu Qian is indeed a visionary official and can see places that many people cannot see. So when Guo Peng talked about this matter when he met Lu Qian, he kept praising him.

But Lu Qian did not accept it calmly.

He looked ashamed.

"I have failed the trust of the Supreme Emperor. In recent years, the governor of Liangzhou has not successfully curbed the increase in the number of shops in Liangzhou. The number of restaurants and hotels has continued to increase. The county magistrates and county magistrates in various places do not consider the restrictive orders of ministers. There are many people who violate the slander."

Guo Peng felt a little guilty in an instant.

This is his fault, but he would rather carry it on his back than smash it.

It is necessary for a magistrate like a provincial governor to exist, but it must also be shackled.

"You have done a good job. You have restricted the emergence of some restaurants and hotels. If you continue to follow Mao Xiaoxian's method, there will only be more restaurants and hotels. The problem now is not yours."

Whose problem is that?

Of course it is Mr. Guo.

It was Mr. Guo who did not give the state governor real authority, which made it difficult for the state governor who wanted to do something.

He and Lu Qian knew it in their hearts, but they would not say it out, nor would they change it.

Therefore, Lu Qian, who is very politically wise, must take the initiative to take the blame to show political correctness.

"I am guilty."

He took the blame.

Guo Peng was very satisfied, so he smiled.

"You are not guilty, on the contrary, you have made me credit. You submitted it to me to express your concerns about the situation in Liangzhou. Now I can tell you that your concerns have become reality."

Lu Qian was stunned.

"Loumo and Anxue Kingdom fought a war. Anxue Kingdom lost a lot and lost the capital. The country was lost. The country's fate was difficult and I don't know when it would be restored. It won't take long, and the caravans in Anxue Kingdom would not have come so many."

After Guo Peng finished speaking, Lu Qian was shocked.

"Then... isn't Liangzhou..."

"So I said you have made contributions. At least you have restricted it and did not allow them to continue to set up shops without restrictions. As for other things, you can't solve them. This time I came here, and I also have the idea of ​​solving the problem."

Guo Peng talked about his thoughts and told Lu Qian that the central government would soon issue an order to grant Lu Qian special power.

Lu Qian can implement his ideas throughout the province, forcibly close a number of shops, and can refuse applications from other shops. In this matter, all central agencies and local counties must abide by Lu Qian's orders, otherwise they will be punished.

When Lu Qian heard this, he was very excited and immediately bowed.

"I will never let down Your Majesty. The Supreme Emperor will do his best to deal with the crisis!"

"Okay, it depends on you."
