A few days later, the city of Chang'an was quarreled again because Ma Zhou sent a memorial to the Shangshu Province. This memorial tells the story of Mengjin County now having a large population, a developed economy, and a high income for the people, which is like a prosperous place. Although it was originally a county in Luoyang, the population economy and even the level of income and education in Mengjin County have completely surpassed other county towns in Luoyang, so it is no longer suitable to "play" with other county towns in Luoyang, so it wants to request a separate state so that it can match Luoyang's status.

"What did Jing Wen want to do? He turned against him. He actually asked Luoyang to cut off a county and set up a special state? This is to be 'independent'!" Someone immediately cursed.

Jing Wen wanted to cut a county out of Luoyang to establish a state, which obviously meant to make the county independent. This behavior of course caused many people to dislike, after all, Luoyang has different political status. Luoyang is the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty and is also a key municipality in later generations. The county towns under Luoyang Prefecture all belong to Beijing counties, with a high status and much higher than other county towns. Because of the different status of Luoyang, Jing Wen now wants to cut a county out of Luoyang to establish a state separately, which has aroused the disgust of many officials from Luoyang.

Luoyang has always been an important faction of the Sui and Tang governments, and especially the officials left behind from the Sui Dynasty, opposed this proposal. After all, Luoyang has different feelings in their minds, because Luoyang is the capital of the Sui Dynasty. If an important city in their mind is cut off from a county town, then this feeling is very unpleasant. Although these Sui Dynasty officials are not very powerful, they are all left by several dynasties, and no one dares not not listen carefully. Therefore, this incident immediately caused a noise.

"I don't agree. Luoyang is the eastern capital of my Tang Dynasty. How can I cut out any county town? If the eastern capital can cut out a county town, then will our Chang'an be able to cut out a county town tomorrow? Will the capital city still be the capital city then?" Someone immediately objected.

But some people said, "You can't say that. Although Luoyang is the Dongdu, it depends on the situation! Now, Mengjin County, under the leadership of the county magistrate Ma Zhou, has a rapid population growth and the people live and work in peace and contentment. These are obvious. Mengjin County in Luoyang is already ahead of many other county towns. If they force them together, isn't that inappropriate? Although Luoyang is the Dongdu, they are not completely unable to cut off a county. After all, they have developed well. So do we have to add a lot of burdens to others to drag them down?"

"Who did you say drag you down?" someone asked immediately.

This guy has a very obvious meaning, that is, other counties develop slowly, so naturally it will drag Mengjin County. If this kind of development speed and development situation are forced to be twisted together, then those who are lagging behind may be dragged down. Although central regulation can be carried out, you cannot delay other people's development in this way! Central regulation is one thing, but if you drag others down because of your backwardness, then it is yours. But this is a bit hurtful, especially those from other county towns in Luoyang. They are also a little unsatisfied. Isn't this scolding your hometown to drag down?

"By the way, you have to ask the locals about their opinions! Liu Yushi, you are from Mengjin County. Are you willing to leave Luoyang and form a prefecture and county independently?" someone asked immediately.

The Censor Liu smiled bitterly and said, "I am a local, so it's not appropriate to talk about this!"

"Tell me, you are a local. You can best reflect the opinions of the locals!"

"If this is the case, then I'd better choose not to be independent!" said Yushi Liu.

Liu Jingshi said this, but he actually had his own ideas. In the final analysis, Luoyang is the Dongdu. His political status is different. If Mengjin County leaves Luoyang and forms another prefecture and county, it means that Luoyang has lost its origin. The officials of Luoyang are a major faction in the court. If Mengjin County leaves Luoyang, then Liu Jingshi will probably be naturally rejected by the faction. In this way, he will not only not be able to enjoy the benefits of the faction, but will instead leave the Luoyang faction and fight alone. This is of course not what he wants, especially those officials from Mengjin County who may not be willing to Mengjin County to form a prefecture and county independently. This is just that they are considering their own interests, not just thinking about it.

"You are talking nonsense. You are the only one from Mengjin here. Why can you represent the entire Mengjin County? So, you should also see if the ordinary people in Mengjin County are willing! I think the local officials in Mengjin County will agree to the severance. After all, if Luoyang wants to extract the local finance from the higher level, it is probably impossible to develop the local area. So it is better to be independent. In this way, the central government can directly coordinate. Instead of passing through the Luoyang level government, the local Luoyang local can get help." Someone pointed it out immediately.

This guy talked about Ma Zhou and his heart, because if Mengjin County is placed under Luoyang Prefecture, Luoyang Prefecture can withdraw Luoyang's finances at any time and make trouble for the development of Mengjin County. If a prefecture can be established independently, it means that the superior has only the central government of Shangshu Province, and there are no more superiors. In the future, if there is anything, you can directly write to Shangshu Province without being conveyed by Luoyang Prefecture. This will have a great significance for the management of Mengjin County, which reduces the management level, which is beneficial to local development.

Both sides have their own reasons, but behind these reasons, some people are public, while others are selfish. So the two sides quarreled, and almost all the Shangshu Province became a vegetable market. This kind of improvement of a county town into a prefecture and county will naturally have a great impact. Therefore, even the two prime ministers, Fang Du, dare not decide on this matter without authorization, and they must hold a meeting to solve it together.

"You can stop making noise!" Fang Xuanling shouted with a full breath.
