Chapter 392: The general trend of Yongzhou, who is in charge of ups and downs
The autumn rain is lingering and it doesn't stop the next day, and the air has a fresh meaning.
After another night, Chen Sanlang gradually recovered and after having breakfast with his mother, he went to the government office.
When Zhou Fencao and Guo Chu saw him coming, they quickly got up to greet him.
Many matters, under the sorting of the two of them, gradually formed an order and carried out in an orderly manner, and were well carried out.
As a Jinshi official, the abilities of both are obvious to all. Anyway, if Chen Sanlang does it himself, he will never be able to do this in just a short period of time.
After talking about it, he saw Song Zhiyuan and three people come in to see him.
Seeing that Song Zhiyuan's face was a little unhappy, Chen Sanlang guessed a little, and after asking, it was indeed the case.
That day, Song Zhiyuan heard that there were still many scholars in the Meihua Valley in Laoshan, so he quickly went to recruit him. Unexpectedly, he was disappointed when he arrived there. He visited him and spoke so hard that he was dry and had no effect. Some people even pointed at him and cursed, saying that he was a great scholar who actually helped Chen Sanlang work hard, and he would definitely not have a good end in the future...
This scolding was a bit stupid.
Song Zhiyuan was full of anger and had no choice but to have an attack. In the end, he only moved three scholars and came back.
These three scholars are all a little old, the kind who has not passed the exam for more than ten or twenty years. They have average knowledge and are better than solid basic skills. They are suitable for grassroots education, which is better than nothing.
The three of them knew that they had cut off their careers and were willing to follow them to see if they could make a future.
After hearing this, Zhou Fencao frowned and shouted, "These people are unreasonable. If they don't want to, they don't want to. Why do they curse people?"
Chen Sanlang sneered: "There are all old and young people who are left behind. They are more than the sky, but they are really unable to do it. They are full of worries about the country and the people, but they can only stay in the mountains and valleys to recite poems and essays, sad about autumn and spring, and cry like a woman!"
"Well said."
Guo Chu agreed that he was the one who came out of the Plum Blossom Valley, of course he knew the most. It was not that the people in it were not good, but that they were too nerd and were full of astronomy. To put it bluntly, it typically reflects the debauchery of the literary world of the dynasty for a hundred years, and is accustomed to holding each other's feet. As long as someone figured out a poem, regardless of whether it was good or bad, a bunch of people immediately boasted, as if they had written peerless sentences.
In fact, it's just something that's disease-free.
The entire plum blossom club does not work from morning to night, but just messes with these things, which is very empty.
Although Guo Chu was also a literati, he was incompatible with this and couldn't stand it. Therefore, as soon as Chen Sanlang invited him, he immediately came out of the mountain.
Song Zhiyuan got the three of them and had to arrange the details. After talking, he said goodbye and left. As soon as he went there for a while, Jiang Caoqi arrived.
Now in the city of the palace, there are Jiang Caoqi, and Wen Zhou Jian Cao. The two of them are left arm and right arm, and they are deeply trusted.
The rivers and grass came together to discuss the entire Yongzhou situation.
In the past, he served as the commander of the county town below, but he did not live in a corner like the commanders of other county towns and plundered them. Instead, he actively cared for and understood the general trend of the entire Yongzhou, and sent many spies to this end. Over time, he obtained a lot of useful information.
He only holds this information in his own hands. At that time, Su Zhenhong was not enterprising and handed over it to him was useless. Instead, it would cause suspicion and cause death.
Now that Chen Sanlang is in charge, the information must be brought out naturally to formulate a global strategy.
The prefecture is larger than the county town, but compared to the entire state, it is still just a corner.
There are five major prefectures in Yongzhou, namely Laoshan Prefecture, Huaishan Prefecture, Jiang'an Prefecture, Zhongyuan Prefecture, Gaoping Prefecture, and one Yongzhou County City.
The county towns were garrisoned by barbarian troops, which was difficult to attack. The situation in the major prefectures was very chaotic, with flags changing and lanterns, which was really like a house play.
So Jiang Caoqi couldn't guarantee that the information he inquired was very accurate. Maybe someone was in charge at that time, but after a few days, he changed to another person.
However, according to the information, two major rebel armies have been formed in Yongzhou. One is the "Gaoping Army", which, as the name suggests, originated from Gaoping Prefecture; the other is the "Dongting Army", which is said to be the leader in Dongting Lake, hence the name.
These two rebel troops have gradually grown to scale, with tens of thousands of people under their command. As for how many refugees and how many strong men are, it is unknown. Anyway, the number of people is there, which can be fooled.
An ancient saying goes: The momentum of the world will be divided after a long time, and the division will be unified after a long time, and the same will be combined in Yongzhou. As the two rebel armies develop and grow, and the continuous merger will continue, there will be a battle sooner or later. After a war, the victory or defeat will determine who will ups and downs.
Information shows that the Gaoping army has already obtained the Gaoping Prefecture and is constantly eroding the surrounding territory; while the Dongting army occupied the Zhongyuan Prefecture and recruited troops...
But these are information from a month ago.
Jiang Caoqi said slowly so that everyone could digest while listening.
Zhou Fencao and others also knew about the distribution of the main prefectures in Yongzhou, but they knew nothing about the situation of each prefecture. Guo Chu used to be the magistrate of Jiang'an Prefecture, but he had been fleeing for a long time. How could he understand what Jiang'an Prefecture has become?
Jiang Caoqi's intelligence is very important, and finally he has a clearer understanding of the overall situation in Yongzhou. Although they now occupy Laoshan Prefecture and the situation is stable, it is only temporary. If they want to last long, they must develop, just like sailing against the current, and if they do not advance, they will retreat. If they are like Su Zhenhong, they will be swallowed up sooner or later.
Everyone’s current thinking is very unified, just seek stability first, but many things are involuntarily uncontrollably, and you don’t expand, but others will infringe on you.
Therefore, you must be fully prepared to deal with it.
Be prepared and not panic.
At present, Jiang Caoqi is responsible for recruiting and training troops; Zhou clan Cao is responsible for developing people's livelihood and storing money and grain; the division of labor is clear. As for the construction and supply of various types of utensils, Zhou Hezhi, Zhang Bo, Geng Quan and others are in charge of following up.
The main matters are held by a dedicated person.
As for the specific links below, they are quite general and there is still a lack of relevant talents. However, as the situation in the city becomes more stable, many people who are waiting and watching can no longer hold back and come to the government office to find something to do.
This is true for everyone. He dared not take the risk of joining at the beginning, but once the situation was different, his mentality changed, and he was afraid that he would fall behind others and would not be able to grab the position.
Although there are many places in the government office, there are still many things to do. One carrot and one pit, the fewer choices are made from behind.
Many people have heard that Lei Gongwei defected early and is now the leader of the yamen runners. He is in charge of thirty or forty yamen runners, responsible for street patrols and maintaining public order, which is very powerful!
This made many people look at it. Some of them, who claimed to be much better than Lei Wei, thought, if we change us, we can at least become an official directly!
Who doesn’t want to be an official?
What else do you want, hurry up and go and join us...
No matter what, the premise of everything is that Laoshan Prefecture can maintain stability. The core of stability is Chen Sanlang!
At this time, the aura of reputation in Chen Sanlang played a great role. He was from a poor family, but he was in the third grade; he was young, but he became famous...
The people in Plum Blossom Valley refuse to follow because they are a prominent family in Yongzhou, and their concepts are deeply rooted and difficult to change. However, it is completely different for many ordinary scholars who are in trouble, but they think this is a great opportunity.
