403. Chapter 403 State Shepherd IV(1/2)
The bustling state pastoral succession ceremony ended that night! However, the joy in the city continued for several days.
At this time, the people of the city spontaneously took to the streets, organized teams, danced with lion heads, and brought the city to a climax.
Zhou Mu! What a distant yet close name?
Zhoumu once represented the city of Guzang and governed the entire Liangzhou! He ruled over all the people of Liangzhou! It is the most prominent name in Liangzhou!
However, this prominent name has been silent for many years!
As a result, the majestic city of Guzang has continued to decline!
Once upon a time, Tianshui County City represented the majesty of the Ma family, even surpassing that of Guzang City!
Once upon a time, the majesty of Han Sui, the representative of Jincheng County, could also be higher than that of Guzang City!
Once upon a time, the people who left Guzang City could only walk with their heads lowered! The gentry and landlords who left Guzang City could only bow their heads in front of the gentry and landlords from other Liangzhou forces!
Why? It’s because Zhou Mu, the name that represents the authority of Liangzhou, has left Guzang City for many years!
Today, the leader of a state, Zhou Mu, has chosen Guzang City again! What does this mean?
This of course means that the people of Guzang City can regain their prominent position in the long history!
This is something worthy of cheering! This is something worthy of congratulations!
They were happier and more excited than the black tiger knights who came into the city! Many people shed tears of gratitude on this day. God finally favored their Guzang City on this day!
Zeng Yu was walking on the wide street in casual clothes. The snow here had been cleared away by the people on their own initiative. Although it was just the beginning of spring yesterday, it was still extremely cold, but people were coming and going on the street, and the people were all filled with happiness.
smile.
On the streets, there are performers, lion-head dancers, singers, and martial arts performers! Everything is available.
Even many old shops on the street that have been closed for a long time have opened their doors, and the shopkeeper in new clothes is personally greeting the customers at the door.
Zeng Yu and his party listened to the people passing by: "It's still the New Year scene when I was a child! This is what our state city should have! God bless the state herdsman, may he live a long life! Only in our Guzang City will we have enough
It’s time to return to our former glory!”
"Tsk, tsk, do you know who the new envoy is? It turns out to be Zeng Yu, the hero who drove out Xianbei, annihilated the Xiongnu, and conquered Beidi County!" Some people sighed: "The governors have always been civil servants.
Master, here comes a master with both civil and military skills! Why worry about our state and city not being prosperous?"
"Yes! Once upon a time, I heard from wandering refugees that a real dragon appeared in Beidi County, and I still didn't believe it! Now I can see the scene of thousands of knights entering the city! It's really hard not to accept it!"
As soon as the topic came up, the people passing by gathered together and started a lively discussion. Everyone was red-faced and excited during the discussion. Everyone wanted to see the legendary Zhou Mu with their own eyes!
"What the people want!" At this moment, looking at the simple people on the street, Zeng Yu expressed the same sentiment as Ma Chao. When I first entered the city, I thought it would take a lot of effort to calm down the people's hearts in the city.
But he found that the people here welcomed his arrival with countless times more enthusiasm than imagined, and they welcomed him from the bottom of their hearts! There was no trace of fraud!
Even Zeng Yu was surprised by the people, let alone Yang Qiu who was accompanying him, and their eyes almost popped out.
No one could have imagined that when he first came to this place, he would be so loved by the people! Sure enough, the heaven and the earth worked together to bring luck! Lord, your luck seems to be at its peak!
"My lord, the morale of the people and the military has reached its peak! At this time, it is time to spread the document widely and inform the county guards everywhere that you have been appointed as the state shepherd!" Yang Qiu said.
But Zeng Yu waved his hand and said: "No hurry, no rush! The only way to become king is to accumulate food and grass slowly and become king! These soldiers and horses are walking all the way in Wuwei, but the city equipment here is in dilapidated state. If Ma Chao's son takes advantage of our wide distribution
When the documents were circulated to various places, we were blocked in the darkest place. We were blocked in Guzang City, and it was really hard to do anything every day."
They have already performed sacrifices to heaven in Zhoucheng and spread the news to all parts of Wuwei County. Why can't they be notified to all counties yet?
Xie Guini asked doubtfully: "What do you mean, my lord?"
Zeng Yu was confident: "I don't know what the hell Ma Chao is thinking! At this moment, he must be staring at our empty space! Waiting for a hit! If you don't stand firm in the city, you will be hit by him.
, that became the laughing stock of the world! Now
With Zhou Mu recognized by the imperial court in hand, we have the advantage. As long as we delay the time and take the opportunity to integrate the army in Wuwei and consolidate the city defense, he will have no chance to take advantage of it. Then it will be a heroic post.
, when you tell all the counties in Liangzhou!"
After hearing this, Yang Qiu recalled the dilapidated county towns he saw along the way. He thought thoughtfully and sighed: "This Wuwei County was once the state pastoral office after all, but it has become so dilapidated! It is really hateful!"
Zeng Yu shook his head and said: "Since the time of Dong Zhuo, this city has begun to decline. Although Dong Zhuo is the boss of Liangzhou, he is the shepherd of Bingzhou, and his government is in Bingzhou! Naturally, he will not run Guzang City carefully, and he will not even run the city.
received attention, the surrounding counties received even less attention! In the era of Ma Teng and Han Sui, they ran Tianshui County and Jincheng County respectively. The ruin of Guzang City is also reasonable!"
Having said this, Zeng Yu took a breath of air-conditioning, exhaled a faint white mist, and looked at the people swarming in the streets with a variety of emotions, "Now we are here! Now we have inherited the leadership of Liangzhou Zhoumu! There are these lovely people
Common people, there are
What can't be accomplished? No matter how dilapidated it is, with so many people working together, it will be repaired very quickly! I have already ordered Li Tianchang and a large number of cabinets from the government and business associations to come to the city to restore life. It will be just around the corner!
"
There was a hint of excitement in Yang Qiu's eyes, "This is the first time I have seen such public support! It can be seen that winning the great cause of the Lord is just around the corner!"
Xie Guini agreed even more. He was so moved that he burst into tears. It was incredible that this grown man was so excited.
But it’s no wonder that he was the one who always had big and small heads in Xianbei. Especially when he was imprisoned by the Wuwan people, not even half of the Xianbei people came to save him. This shows that Xianbei’s people are indifferent. No wonder this
This is the first time I see Han people treating their envoy with such joy, I am so moved!
Zeng Yu roughly patrolled the streets for a while, and after getting to know the people's sentiments, he had a plan in mind. Then, after ordering Yang Qiu and Xie Guini to return to the military camp to handle military affairs, they turned around and left.
The place where Zeng Yu stayed was still the same as in Chengji or Fulu County, they chose Fuya.
At this time, the government office was still the dilapidated government office that Yan Xing burned down once. Later, due to too many wronged souls, even Tian Le and others did not come to live in it. Since Zeng Yu wanted to inherit the glory of the past Zhou Mu, of course he could not despise it.
Here, after simple repairs, we moved in.
After entering the government office, the first thing I did was to go to the lobby, sit behind the public case, and promulgate the first internal affairs decree, which exempted and exempted taxes for three years, and distributed all the interest of Man's Bank in cash.
Because of Ma Chao's threats a few days ago, the Man's Bank in Guzang City was also implicated and was sealed down by Yang Kui!
Zeng Yu wanted to consolidate the people's support in Wuwei County, so he naturally wanted to return the people's money double! And if word spread, Zeng Yu's name would become a resounding golden sign!
Not to mention, how excited and happy the people who lost all their money because Man's Bank was seized will be!
This is a win-win situation for Huce Mansion, Manshi Bank, or Zeng Yu himself!
As a human being, you cannot only care about immediate interests! If you deliberately put aside the bad debts that were hanging in your name in the past, maybe now the people are intoxicated with the glory of the state and city and forget to care about it for a while, but there will always be someone to expose it in the future. Then there will be trouble
It followed.
The second decree is to exempt from labor service and recruit soldiers to join the construction corps of Hu Ce Mansion! The military pay is doubled, and military merits include official titles, land and other actual rewards!
In Liangzhou, martial arts is strong, and there is no man here who does not yearn to be a soldier! No man is willing to be entangled in hard labor!
Especially after Zeng Yu saw the enthusiasm of the people, he strengthened his confidence! Here, there are sufficient sources of soldiers to recruit!
Their Huce Mansion will definitely take root in Wuwei County!
As long as he survives the early days and mobilizes his soldiers, even though he is far away from the Huce Mansion headquarters, Ma Chao's tiger will no longer be a formidable enemy he faces! He will not be able to do anything strange!
As long as these simple people in Wuwei County are mobilized! These potential forces can be mobilized!
All people are enemies. I believe Ma Chao will understand this concept!
The internal affairs decrees are roughly like this. As for repairing city walls, building roads and other matters, the newly established construction corps in Wuwei County will be arranged to take over. The original decrees were naturally intended to reduce the burden on the people and were not too lenient.
The people participate in labor service, and after the construction corps is established, they will then use the combination of military and civilians to pay rewards to completely ignite the enthusiasm of the people!
Everything should be prioritized!
Just like the prestigious official position of Zhou Mu, it has been in his hands for nearly ten days, and Zeng Yu has no plans to publicize it!
The more eager you are, the more chaotic you will become!
After settling the internal affairs, Zeng Yu focused on military affairs. Preventing Ma Chaocai was the most important thing at hand!
That day, his own soldiers and horses passed by Tianshui County and surrounded the city, which would definitely make Ma Chao'er angry.
The Ma family has far more intelligence sources in the court than the Hu Ce Mansion. It is impossible for that tiger Ma Chao not to know that he has been appointed as the prefectural pastor, and the purpose of forcibly breaking through is also Guzang City!
Knowing that his family is far away from his nest, Ma Chao will definitely have some thoughts!
Although Zeng Yu didn't know what strategy Ma Chao would use to attack, his own cities were stuck on the route from Tianshui County to Guzang City. It was very easy to defend!
Especially the kid from the Ma family, who still doesn't know the news that Ma Ai, a two-faced man, has been captured by his family!
Zuli County! It was a big trap that Zeng Yu chose to deal with Ma Chao!
Zeng Yu thought for a while, walked towards the window, and gently opened the window. The sunlight filled the room, entered his eyelids, and gathered in his mind. The rays of sunlight merged into a detailed map of Liangzhou. He closed his eyes and pondered for a long time.
After that, when he opened his eyes, a flash of light flashed by, and it was clear that he had an idea! The excitement of the state pastor's succession ceremony ended that night! However, the joy in the city continued for several days.
At this time, the people of the city spontaneously took to the streets, organized teams, danced with lion heads, and brought the city to a climax.
Zhou Mu! What a distant yet close name?
Zhoumu once represented the city of Guzang and governed the entire Liangzhou! He ruled over all the people of Liangzhou! It is the most prominent name in Liangzhou!
However, this prominent name has been silent for many years!
As a result, the majestic city of Guzang has continued to decline!
Once upon a time, Tianshui County City represented the majesty of the Ma family, even surpassing that of Guzang City!
Once upon a time, the majesty of Han Sui, the representative of Jincheng County, could also be higher than that of Guzang City!
Once upon a time, the people who left Guzang City could only walk with their heads lowered! The gentry and landlords who left Guzang City could only bow their heads in front of the gentry and landlords from other Liangzhou forces!
