Chapter 214
As the lottery pointer stopped moving, the text on the system panel changed.
【Congratulations to the host, congratulations on winning the mineral card in the lottery: the first copper mine in the southeast!】
【Note: The mineral card cannot be activated for the time being. Please host the strategy to occupy Yuzhang County! 】
Yuzhang County?
Gu Changan was thoughtful.
Yuzhang County, the county seat is Nanchang, under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou.
This is Yuan Shu’s territory.
It seems that only after taking down Yuan Shu can this mineral card be activated….
Gu Changan did not stay in Yizhou for too long.
Whether it was conscription or the recruitment list, it would be completed by Wu Yi and Zhang Song.
Gu Changan gave them three years.
In these three years, they had to put Yizhou on the track of a virtuous cycle.
Within three years, they would definitely leave Yizhou and go to more important jobs.
Moreover, in Yizhou, they needed to recommend more talents, and they must do it on the basis of talent.
The Xianzhen Camp, the Bubazi, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
Gu Changan did not take them all away.
Instead, he left 2,000 people each for Wu Yi.
Although Yizhou is mountainous, cavalry still has a role on the Yizhou plains.
With these elite soldiers, plus the reorganized Yizhou army,
Wu Yi and Zhang Song were enough to control the entire Yizhou.
Gu Changan took the remaining Xianzhen Camp, the Bubazi, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and prepared to return to Chang’an City.
Accompanying Gu Changan were his new wife Wu Xian, the chief clerk Fa Zheng, and the Zhonglang Jiang Gan Ning.
Gan Ning also brought more than 800 of his direct guards.
These more than 800 people were Gan Ning’s younger brothers.
Gan Ning was very charismatic.
He was cheerful and generous, brave and resourceful, despised money, treated soldiers well, and was deeply supported by soldiers.
Of course, there was no need to take any more risks on the way back.
They headed towards Hanzhong.
When Gu Chang’an arrived in Hanzhong, he met Zhang Lu, who had surrendered, and Zhang Lu’s legendary mother.
Historically, Zhang Lu had occupied Hanzhong for nearly 30 years.
Later, he surrendered to Cao Cao, was appointed as the General of Zhennan, and was granted the title of Marquis of Langzhong, with a fief of 10,000 households.
As for Zhang Lu,
Gu Chang’an did not neglect him because of his surrender.
He was the tenth-generation grandson of Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Liu in the Han Dynasty, and the grandson of Zhang Daoling
, the founder of Tianshi Taoism. The Five Pecks of Rice Dao he spread in Hanzhong was the prototype of Taoism in the future.
After Gu Chang’an arrived in Hanzhong, he immediately hosted a banquet for Zhang Lu and his legendary mother.
Zhang Lu’s mother, Madam Lu, was a very resourceful person.
She is proficient in the”Five Bushels of Rice” Taoism and is a core believer of the religion.
With her health preservation and divination and healing abilities, she has established a close relationship with Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou.
Moreover, Mrs. Lu is very good at maintaining herself and keeping a young appearance, making herself look like a girl.
It’s ironic.
Gu Changan moved into the largest and most luxurious mansion in Hanzhong City. He invited Zhang Lu, the original owner of the mansion, to a banquet.
Gao Shun and Dian Wei also came to the banquet hall.
Gu Changan didn’t spend much time reminiscing with them.
He saw Zhang Lu and his mother Lu walked in led by the attendants.
Gu Changan’s eyes were directly attracted by Lu.
Lu was wearing an elegant Shu brocade, and her steps were light, like a fairy descending to the earth.
Although her face has been baptized by the years.
But she looks fair-skinned and delicate, like a girl, as she has achieved success in practicing Taoism.
The reason why Gu Changan’s eyes were attracted was not because Lu had any stunning appearance.
But because of shock.
This time, Gu Changan was truly shocked.
In this era, there were no cosmetics for skin care.
A woman over fifty years old could maintain such a youthful and radiant face.
Seeing this, Gu Changan couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of shock in his heart.
He had never seen such a magical thing.
Fortunately, Gu Changan had experienced too many magical things in his life.
He quickly calmed down and suppressed the shock in his heart.
He smiled and invited Zhang Lu and Lu to the banquet.
After everyone sat down, the banquet officially began.
There were not many people at the banquet. Everyone toasted and drank.
Zhang Lu felt a little depressed. After drinking a few glasses, he was inevitably a little tipsy.
Seeing him like this, Gu Changan asked directly
“Gongqi, I wonder what your plans are for the future?”
“Are you going to continue to be an official, or concentrate on preaching?”
Zhang Lu was silent for a while……….
He suddenly stood up and said respectfully………
“General, Hanzhong is where believers like us live, and hundreds of thousands of people live and work here in peace and contentment!”
“I really can’t bear to abandon them, I hope to stay here to preach, provide them with shelter and guidance!”
Gu Changan frowned and fell into deep thought after hearing this.
He knew that Zhang Lu was the leader of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, and had a very high reputation and influence in Hanzhong.
However, Hanzhong is a strategic location.
The existence of such Five Pecks of Rice Sect believers will inevitably threaten the safety of Hanzhong.
However, if there is no suitable leader to manage them, I am afraid that chaos will occur.
Gu Changan pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke
“Gongqi, I still hope you can come to the court to be an official!”
“The Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Taiping Dao Uprising happened not long ago!”
“I think the imperial court needs to set up a new official position or department to specifically manage alchemists, fortune tellers, diviners, Buddhists, Taoists, wizards, etc.!”
“I hope you can take the lead in setting up such a department, and then gradually improve it!”
Zhang Lu showed a hint of surprise on his face when he heard this.
He knew that Gu Changan was worried about him staying in Hanzhong.
But the idea proposed by Gu Changan made Zhang Lu very happy.
Because of this position of managing religion.
3.8 can make the 3.8 missionary work of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect legal.
As long as it complies with the laws of the court.
Zhang Lu walked respectfully to Gu Changan, saluted, and then said:”General, thank you for your kindness, I obey your orders!”
“”Okay, hahaha!” Gu Changan laughed.
“Gongqi, no need to be polite, take a seat quickly, and let’s drink happily!”
Lu smiled with satisfaction.
She knew that her son had got a precious opportunity.
As the banquet continued, the atmosphere gradually became warm and harmonious.
Gu Changan and Zhang Lu had an in-depth exchange and discussion on the situation and development prospects of Hanzhong area……. ps:▄█ˉ█●
