Chapter 254: The Overall Situation Has Been Decided



Zhao Xin naturally didn't know that Nan Luoying and others were on the mountain road, and missed Yin Guannan again.

In fact, his mind is no longer on the natives of Dahuang Mountain. To be more precise, although he is still in Dahuang County, his heart is no longer there.

Why? The reason is simple.

Just four words - the overall situation has been decided.

Although the people of Hangjiabao were massacred by Zhao Dang, other natives must have felt a little confused when they learned about it, because in the eyes of some natives, Qin people are Qin people.

Just like in the eyes of the Qin people, the natives are just natives. If a native does something bad, the people will only say what the natives are like, but will not say what the natives of Hangjiabao or the Muyi tribe are like.

However, there was the agreement between Zhao Xin and Yun Panpan, and Xiao Lan's five or six hundred men were considered elite soldiers armed to the teeth for the natives, as well as his good relationship with Nan Luoying.

He believed that even if there were recurrences, Yun Panpan, Nan Luoying and others would be able to handle it.

Combined with the supplies brought back by Xiao Lan and others and Zhao Dang's head, it should be enough to appease some hesitant centrists.

There should be only a few people left who are truly determined to confront the court.

In this situation, with Nan Wu Ju and Cao Ziyu in front and the support of Li Cunxiao in the back, as well as masters like Jiang Gonglan, they can barely be used.

If it still can't be done, then Zhao Xin really has nothing to say.

Besides, the lower-level natives cannot tell the difference between the imperial court and the Qi Wang family. The upper-level natives should actually know who Zhao Dang is, who massacred the people of Hangjiabao.

In this case, they don't really have a choice.

If you don't support the imperial court, do you still have to support the King of Qi?

Not supporting the King of Qi, but still wanting to continue to fight against the court? Haha, unless the natives are really capable of fighting and taking responsibility, the court doesn't need to do anything. Simply banning trade with the natives would be a fatal blow to the natives.

Moreover, this time when Nan Luoying and others went into the mountains, they not only brought supplies collected by the powerful families in Dahuang City.

There is also a letter of appointment from Zhao Xin.

He believed that this letter of appointment would be enough to alleviate the distrust of the court among most natives.

However, the news of this appointment letter is likely to cause an uproar in Dahuang City.

Even the entire Qin Dynasty might be shaken.

Because Zhao Xin's letter of appointment was not to appoint some natives to some empty positions, or to confer titles on some native kings.

If that kind of thing happened, although some people would not take it seriously, most Qin people actually didn't care.

However, Zhao Xin's letter of appointment was given directly to Yun Panpan, and the title appointed to her was not an empty one, but she was directly appointed as the governor of Dahuang County.

Once such an appointment is announced, not only will the conservative Confucian scholars be shocked, but ordinary people will also be discussing it.

Having a woman serve as a county governor was not only unprecedented in the Qin Dynasty, but also had never happened in the recorded history of all dynasties from ancient times to the present.

Even if the customs of the Qin Dynasty were not as conservative as those in later generations, some people would probably be surprised.

However, Zhao Xin did this not to attract attention or to be different.

But he had considered carefully and found that Yun Panpan was the most suitable candidate for the position of County Magistrate of Dahuang County.

First of all, she is a native saint, but she is also a Qin person, and judging from her previous performance, she values ​​her identity as a Qin person very much in her heart.

She did not really abandon her identity as a Qin person in order to secure her position as the native saint.

Based on these two points, she is the most suitable candidate for the position of governor of Dahuang County for at least the next ten years.

After all, the greatest historical mission of the future governor of Dahuang County is nothing more than two points:

To naturalize the natives and develop the Dahuang Mountain and even the Dahuang County.

Secondly, because she was a woman and a local saint, Zhao Xin promoted her to the position of county governor, and she became the first officially recognized female lord of two thousand stones in history.

She is completely bound to Zhao Xin, and they share the same fate, because no one except Zhao Xin will support her like this.

Moreover, Zhao Xin can rest assured to increase support for Dahuang County, and even build it into a leader and core for the development of Bingzhou, without having to worry about it becoming too powerful.

Yun Panpan will certainly carry out his will unconditionally.

For other county governors in Bingzhou, the existence of Dahuang County is a thorn in their side. As long as Dahuang County is not in chaos, others will have to be cautious if they want to cause chaos.

With so many benefits, is there any reason for Zhao Xin not to use it?

Even back to the present, Zhao Xin's appointment was a heavy blow to resolve the natives' distrust.

With this powerful blow, Zhao Xin could say with complete confidence that the outcome was decided.

As for the opposing voices, there will certainly be some.

But Xin Zhao didn't care.

As powerful families were eradicated one by one, former officials were dismissed or even beheaded, and new officials were appointed one by one.

It is impossible for anyone in Dahuang County to oppose Zhao Xin.

Even if there is opposition, it is sporadic. Zhao Xin can ignore it or take advantage of the situation to kill another group.

Don't worry about it at all.

Another thing is the court.

At other times, the court ministers would certainly strongly oppose Zhao Xin's "disorderly order".

The Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely not agree.

But now in the court, even Prime Minister Cui Luan is a temporary position, and Zhao Xin has not even allowed him to set up a government office.

Instead, all the officials of the previous Censorate were taken away.

However, those great scholars from aristocratic families will definitely criticize this.

However, such influence will only remain among the people and be spoken of for the time being.

Because these aristocratic families are the most utilitarian, no matter how unorthodox Zhao Xin's appointment is, it does not have a direct conflict of interest with them for the time being.

They would never actually obstruct this matter, not to mention that their hands cannot reach here.

Bingzhou can be said to be the state with the weakest power of aristocratic families, and Dahuang County has no aristocratic family power at all except Zhang Yuan.

Although there are powerful people in the county, they are not yet aristocratic families and have not yet been incorporated into the system by those aristocratic families.

This can be seen from the fact that there is no powerful family in the entire Dahuang County that has married into an external family.

Because marriage is a symbol and means of recognition and binding between aristocratic families.

If you want to know whether a family has been recognized by the aristocratic system represented by the Nine Clans and Thirteen Surnames, just look at whether it has married into the Nine Clans and Thirteen Surnames.

Of course, those who married concubines' daughters are not counted, and they can only be considered marginal forces at best.

It is a method used by those aristocratic families to attract and absorb some talents from humble backgrounds.

But there is nothing like this in Dahuang County.

Even the most powerful family in the county could not marry a noble lady from a wealthy family, even if she was a concubine's daughter.

Similarly, no woman married into a wealthy family.

When Zhao Xin learned about these situations, he was surprised that there was such a place in Daqin.

Zhao Xin suddenly realized that the military type might be a breakthrough point to tear apart the entangled power of the aristocratic families.

But a breakthrough is just a breakthrough after all.

The main confrontations between Zhao Xin and the aristocratic families are currently taking place in the capital and the surrounding prefectures and counties.

That's also where Zhao Xin's thoughts are right now.
