Shao Xun got out of the carriage and waved to the Youzhou fathers and elders.
Because Hebei had just been pacified, and the pro-military generals strongly recommended that we ride horse-drawn carriages all the way.
Even so, Liu Ling, Yang Qin and others were still not satisfied.
Yang Qin suggested getting a few identical carriages, and after stopping halfway to rest, he would randomly get on one.
Liu Ling suggested choosing a large horse-drawn carriage with strong pulling power and an iron carriage with key parts covered with iron armor.
In the end, Shao Xun did not agree, because it would be easy to be looked down upon. After all, he was a man who drove Wushuang more than ten years ago. Although the quality of soldiers from all forces has generally improved, he did not dare to be a prostitute anymore, but he still had a martial background.
It was too much for him to accept.
After waving, the officials and scholars leaving the city saluted together: "See Mr. Chen."
"No need to be polite." Shao Xun supported him with both hands and said in a gentle tone.
Everyone stood up one after another, and when they raised their eyes, they saw more than 4,000 black soldiers arrayed not far away.
The shining armor, the pitch-black thorns, the stern face, and the tall and straight posture all give people a great sense of oppression.
The Youzhou elders who were used to seeing peasant soldiers were a little shocked when they first saw elite professional warriors.
Shao Xun smiled slightly. Do you really think that I am a freeloader?
There are three battalions on the left, center and right of the Silver Spear, and one battalion of the Black Army, totaling more than 20,000 soldiers. They are all elite divisions he built with his own hands and feet.
With 20,000 elite soldiers, more than 50,000 miscellaneous soldiers can be intimidated, and these 50,000 miscellaneous soldiers can drive and supervise more field soldiers to fight in battle.
Otherwise, why do you think Liu Ya and Shi Hu wanted to eat Silver Spear Zuoying in Hanoi?
Without those 6,000-year-old veterans, Shao Thief, who was crazy about leveraging, would be partially liquidated.
The result of liquidating the position may not be the end, but it will definitely greatly reduce his bargaining power.
If the current territory is compared to a company, Shao Xun feels that he already holds 51% of the equity - from the actual control area, the talent reserve is definitely less than half, but the Silver Spear Army, Black Silk Army, Fubing and the like
What a bonus, Shengsheng pushed over half of his equity, and ordinary matters that did not involve major decisions could be decided with one word.
As for the absolute control of 67%, that is far from being discussed. In this world, although there is no No. 2 shareholder (more than 34%) who has the right to veto major matters, their combined energy is not small, and big things are still
This needs to be discussed with shareholders.
What? 100% equity? Let other shareholders out? It is probably impossible in this life, and no one can do this in this era.
In short, Yinqiang, Heiyi Erjun and Fubing are the core assets of his investment, and their valuations are very high. Once all losses are lost, will he have to rely heavily on other shareholders to inject assets like Yuwentai (collecting the soldiers of the wealthy family)
), dilute your shares? If the shares are reduced to a certain level, the company will belong to others.
"Ming Gong." Shao Xun was in his reverie. Zaosong, Zhu Shuo and You Tong looked at each other. Finally, Zao Song took a quick step forward and bowed: "I will introduce youzhou elders one by one to Ming Gong."
Shao Xun nodded with a smile and said, "I'm about to meet the heroes of Youzhou."
Zaosong walked up to an old man with a long white beard and said: "This is the governor of this state, the elders of Yan State, Liu Han and Liu Yuanqing. Liu Gongzhuang is respectful and loyal. He is a filial friend. He has learned from ancient and modern times and his poems are elegant. When he opened the school to teach,
, spread the word far and near, and educate the world, both Yi and Xia will arrive."
Zao Song's words were not only a compliment, but also secretly told Shao Xun what Liu Han's status was in Youzhou. You can ignore other things, but his disciples and guests are all over the counties of Youzhou, so you must pay attention to them, especially because many of them are powerful factions.
When Shao Xun heard this, he was in awe. He bowed to Liu Han and said, "Since Mr. Liu is in Youzhou, why should I worry?"
Liu Han returned the salute, looked Shao Xun up and down, and said, "I have heard of Mr. Chen's name for a long time, and now I see him. He really has the talent of being a dragon or a tiger."
Having said this, he paused and asked, "But I wonder what Mr. Chen has to say about the current situation in Youzhou?"
"Plowing mulberry trees provides food and clothing. Over the past few years, there have been frequent wars in Youzhou. Wang Jun has been violent and urgent in conquests. There have also been floods, droughts, and locust plagues. The people are impoverished and helpless. Or we should strengthen the foundation and cultivate the people, and calm them down.
Shao Xun said: "All the tribes in Xianbei are all my sons. If you care for them if you wish, we can live in peace."
"What if I don't want to caress him?" Liu Han asked.
"Heaven and earth are benevolent, and there is also frost and snow." Shao Xun said matter-of-factly: "If you rebel, you will be attacked, and if you obey, you will be forgiven."
Liu Han raised his body and bowed, saying, "I know you, Mr. Ming."
After saluting, step aside.
Zaosong nodded slightly to Shao Xun, which meant that Liu Han was willing to be the governor of Youzhou.
Shao Xun understood.
Wang Jun used to work for officials, but Liu Han just didn't want to, and Lao Wang couldn't do anything about him and didn't dare to kill him - in comparison, another famous scholar Huo Yuan was killed.
To be honest, today's meeting is actually an examination, where "lord and minister" choose each other. If he is not satisfied with the answer, Liu Han may really resign and concentrate on his studies.
Now it seems that Liu Han has actually lowered his requirements and only asked two most basic questions: domestic affairs and diplomacy.
In terms of domestic affairs, Shao Xun's idea is to recuperate and recuperate.
In terms of diplomacy, Shao Xun's policy is mainly to recruit people.
Liu Han recognized this, so he was willing to accept the post of governor of Youzhou.
Once he accepted it, it also meant that Shao Xun's rule in Youzhou was stabilized by half.
The reason is simple, it is impossible for him to station a large number of troops here.
The Yinqiang Right Camp and the Heiji Army are all going back to Henan to rest and recuperate, while the Yi Cong Army has also been on an expedition for a long time and needs to go back to recuperate.
The power to defend Youzhou still depends on the people of Youzhou themselves.
Once recognized by the local clans, they will act as local garrison forces, reducing your expenses and saving your troops.
Liu Han's family can only be said to be at the upper-middle level, but his personal influence is very strong. If he stands up to support you, he can indeed influence the support of a considerable number of powerful people.
Zooming in on the whole of Hebei, in terms of families, the Fanyang Lu family, the Pingyuan Hua family, the Qinghe Cui family are the first, the Boling Cui family, the Pingyuan Liu family, the Leling Shi family, the Zhongshan Liu family and other families are slightly lower. As for the Guangzhou family,
The Pingyou family, Cheng family, Anping Han family, Weijun Shao family, Gaoyang Xu family, etc. will have to be ranked first again.
Shao Xun could not win over all the Hebei nobles, he could only focus on the key points.
The three families of Fan Yanglu, Pingyuan Hua, and Qinghe Cui can handle it, and the other first-class noble families can freely connect these three families through a network of connections that extend in all directions - this is also a no-brainer.
After meeting Liu Han, Zaosong introduced Yang Yu again and heard him say: "This is Yang Yu and Yang Shilun, who is a talented person. When Wang Jun was in power, people were in trouble. Shilun had the heart to help the country and help the times.
Encourage teaching to farm and cultivate mulberry trees, barbarian violence and prohibition, until people are harmonious, Li Yuan is happy. After the incident, he put up his seal and left. Wang Jun repeatedly criticized him, but refused to accept it. He said that he was accepted by the people for the sake of the people.
Now that it's safe, there should be some privacy in the woods."
Shao Xun was in awe again and said: "Shi Lun has the ambition of Songjie, which is really admirable."
Having said this, Shao Xun took action directly - he took Yang Yu's hand and said: "Since Shi Lun has this ability, he should be in a key place and test his talents. How about correcting me at all times?"
"How dare you not serve Ming Gong!" Yang Yu was silent for a while and then agreed.
Shao Xun chuckled.
Yang Shilun is also quite famous. What's more rare is that he is younger and not as low-minded as Liu Han.
The two talked for a while, and it seemed that they were approved.
Shao Xun invited him to serve in the shogunate, and he accepted without much hesitation. It was a good thing, and the cause of the united front made another step forward.
"Ming Gong, this is You Tongyou Guangming, a native of Guangping, Jizhou." Zaosong began to introduce the third person: "On the night of the reform, I united all the powerful forces in the camp and established the first great honor..."
"Zhu Shuo and Zhu Qiubo are talented in both civil and military affairs. They know the ancient and modern times, know the problems in counties and counties, and understand the favor of the shogunate..."
Zao Song introduced them one by one, and Shao Xun patiently made some polite remarks at first, then made a few comments and even promised some benefits. Suddenly, they became friendly and harmonious.
We all know that united front work is important, but actually doing it is complicated and complicated.
Throughout the morning, by the end of the conversation, Shao Xun had forgotten what he had said. It was simply outrageous.
Just when the musicians were exhausted from playing, the lengthy meeting finally ended. Surrounded by the elders of Youzhou, Shao Xun went straight to Jicheng and stayed at Wang Jun's mansion.
The banquet has been prepared, and the next step is to use the opportunity of eating and drinking to learn more about everyone's situation, and even let out some words and offer benefits.
This is the standard procedure for receiving a place.
If you don't do this, you may be "uneasy".
If local snakes don't understand you, how dare you place bets?
How can I do things for you if I don't give benefits to local cowards?
How to appoint guests if they don’t know their reputation, ability and past experience?
There are many things that cannot be explained by dry information and words alone. They have to be discussed in person.
As for today's meeting, Shao Xun felt that he had gained a lot, so he inevitably drank a few more drinks.
While they were drinking and drinking in the front yard, Liu Ling, Yang Qin and others led their soldiers into the backyard, carefully checked various places where people might be hiding, and then set up sentries to wait for Mr. Chen to come.
Wang Jun, who was locked in his bedroom, was keenly aware of the movements outside.
He stood up suddenly, but felt a little dizzy. After swaying for a long time, he finally calmed down and looked outside.
Liu Ling leaned against the door frame, grinned at Wang Jun, and said, "How many kilograms of lamp oil can such a fat body make?"
Wang Jun suddenly felt something in his heart and said, "Who are you? Where is Shao Xun? Let him come to see me."
"Wang Pengzu!" Liu Ling shouted loudly and said: "In the past, when we led Xianbei to attack Liu Bogen's soldiers and slaughter them wantonly, did you ever think about today?"
"Are you a remnant of the Heavenly Master Dao?" Wang Jun asked in shock.
Liu Ling sneered twice and said: "Be prepared to die. As soon as the emperor's edict comes, it will be the time for you to die."
Wang Jun couldn't help but tremble.
Liu Ling gave him a disappointed look.
More than ten years ago, when the Qingzhou rebels heard Wang Jun's name, everyone trembled with fear.
More than ten years later, Liu Ling suddenly realized that he was just a bad old man full of fear.
Is this a scholar? Is this the Wang family in Taiyuan? Haha.
