Dazhou Nanjiang Road, Fuzhou City

The originally splendid Prince Fu's Mansion located in the center of the city has been renovated and transformed into the Mansion of the Jiedu Envoy of Nanjiang Road.

In just a few months, the Jiedushi Mansion has become the center of power on the entire southern border, attracting countless visitors.

In the reception hall of Jiedushi's mansion, there were two figures sitting there, neither of them saying a word.

Of course, the person sitting at the top of the list is Shangguan Tailei, the first military governor of Nanjiang Road. This uncle of the country did not contribute much in the battle against the rebellion, but he got such a high-ranking official. He has always been beaming with joy.

.

The other one is an extremely handsome young man, with a bookish air all over his body. Although his attitude towards Shangguan Tai Lei is respectful, he is by no means groveling, and he has a deep sense of pride.

Shangguan Tailei smiled and looked at the young man in front of him, his name was Fifth Xinrou!

This name sounds like a girl, which is the only thing that makes Shangguan Tailei unhappy.

The surname Fifth was extremely rare in the Zhou Dynasty, and it was almost extinct among the people. It was rumored that there was a strange family living in seclusion in the Zhongnan Mountains. It was passed down from generation to generation. Both men and women had the surname Fifth.

The members of the fifth family are not born before they are born, but they will be great talents once they are born.

Tai Lei didn't know if this rumor was true, but a hundred years ago, there was indeed an amazingly talented person named Fifth in the court of Zhou Dynasty.

That man turned the clouds with one hand and the rain with the other, and supported the entire Zhou Dynasty. When he reached the peak of his official career, he retreated bravely and retired to Zhongnan Mountain, showing no regard for power.

Now this young man is indeed from Zhongnan Mountain. Fifth Xinrou joined the Nanjiang Dao official when Shangguan Tailei just took office as the Jiedushi of Nanjiang Dao, and worked as a small chief clerk in a county government.

The appearance of Wu Xinrou immediately caught Shangguan Tailei's attention. In a small county where the county magistrate had not yet been appointed, this little chief clerk acted decisively and had clear decrees. In just one month, the people who had just experienced the war were

The county town has regained its vitality, putting others to shame.

Shangguan Tailei has always made people watch Wu Xinrou's every move. Even though the uncle himself is an idiot, he knows that the young man in front of him is definitely a great talent.

When he was appointed as the governor of Nanjiang Road, his brother Shangguan Taiqing in the capital sent a letter, telling him to search for reliable talents for the Shangguan family.

Not having its own talent team has always been the shortcoming of the Shangguan family.

So Shangguan Tailei compiled Fifth Xinrou's every move into a book and sent someone to the capital urgently.

Just yesterday, a secret letter sent from the capital at full speed arrived in the hands of Shangguan Tailei. Shangguan Taiqing only wrote four words in the letter:

Great talent! Available!

"Haha, you have a soft heart!" Shangguan Tailei said with a smile, breaking the silence in the room: "Is there anyone else at home in Zhongnan Mountain?"

There was a flash of sadness in the young man's eyes: "Returning to Master Jiedu, both my parents have died of illness, and I am the only one left."

Shangguan Tailei's face looked a little embarrassed. He originally planned to talk about family matters and build a relationship, but unexpectedly it hit someone's sore spot.

Fifth Xinrou didn't mind, and said softly: "This time I am serving as an official in Southern Border Road, just to fulfill my father's wish, to gain a fame, and to promote the reputation of my Fifth family."

Shangguan Tailei nodded, this young man is polite and filial, which is indeed good.

Immediately, Shangguan Tailei asked again: "What do you learn in Zhongnan Mountain on weekdays?"

Fifth Xinrou's face was calm and her tone was flat, but what she said was surprising: "I know everything from military, law, Confucianism, Taoism, and agriculture to music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, and poetry."

Although his words were arrogant, Shangguan Tailei had no doubt.

Perhaps others have not yet been confirmed, but Wu Xinrou's political ability has already begun to show its edge.

Even in the capital, there are few who can write better than Wu Xinrou.

"Not bad, not bad." Shangguan Tailei couldn't help but nodded, and then asked: "How do you think the Nanjiang Road should be managed today?"

This is what Shangguan Tailei is most anxious about at the moment. He was promoted very quickly and took the position of Jiedushi of Nanjiang Road with the support of the Queen Mother. However, Shangguan Tailei was really worried about the mess he had just experienced from the war.

The fifth Xinrou slightly arched his hands and said: "The war in the southern border road has just ended, and there are many wastes waiting to be renovated. It is also located on the border, and it has the heavy burden of defending the country. The fifth meaning is to reward farming, open merchants, and reduce

Pay taxes, recruit talents, build cities, and recruit soldiers."

Shangguan Tailei's eyes suddenly sparkled with excitement, and he waved his hand with great interest: "Tell me more about it."

Fifth Xinrou stood up and walked slowly in the room, saying as he walked: "

The purpose of rewarding farming and vigorously rewarding farmers is to quickly attract refugees from all over the country to return to the fields, so that farming will not be abandoned.

Open merchants, promote merchants from all walks of life in Nanjiang Road to open their businesses, and restore the economy under the rule.

Reduce taxes and reduce the taxes of the people within one or two years, allowing the people of Southern Xinjiang to quickly get out of the shadow of the war, and at the same time show the emperor's great kindness.

Recruiting talents widely, the counties and counties in Nanjiang Road are empty of official administration, so a large number of talents can be recruited to serve in Nanjiang Road. If they are promised important positions, scholars from all over the country will flock to them.

Building cities, the Southern Border Road has experienced wars, and cities in various places should start to be repaired to prevent foreign enemies from invading.

Recruit soldiers and build an army to fill the vacancy in border troops caused by King Fu's rebellion, and immediately put them into training to prepare for emergencies!"

As soon as he spoke, Shangguan Tailei's face was already full of smile.

"Hahaha, the rumors are true!" Shangguan Tailei laughed and said, "Xinrou, I intend to promote you to be the governor of Fuzhou, what do you think?"

"Thank you for your kindness, sir!" Fifth Xinrou bowed to express his thanks, but then said: "Fifth Xinrou has little qualifications, and I am afraid that many people will not accept him as the governor of a state. I am willing to serve as a member of your family and do my best!"

Shangguan Tailei was overjoyed. If he became his staff, he would be a member of the Shangguan family.

But Shangguan Tailei still asked with some confusion: "Didn't you say before that being an official requires a title? Being an aide doesn't bring much fame!"

Wu Xinrou, who had always looked calm and indifferent, smiled slightly and asked confidently: "My lord will be a very popular minister in the future. By then, you will not treat me badly, right?"

Shangguan Tailei was slightly stunned. This young man was not only talented, but he was also not eager for quick success. These words not only showed his loyalty, but also revealed his ambition.

My fifth heart is not something that can be satisfied by just one state governor!

"Okay! As long as you work hard for my Shangguan family in the future, I will ensure that you will rise smoothly in the court!" Shangguan Tailei said loudly.

He believed that everyone wanted to get close to the big tree of the Shangguan family, and Fifth Xinrou, who was seeking fame, was no exception!

Fifth Xinrou bowed and saluted: "As an official, I will do my best to assist you!"

"Hahaha!"

Shangguan Tailei's proud laughter resounded throughout the room and did not dissipate for a long time.
