Liu Yuanqiao knew that if he entered here so strongly, he would definitely be opposed by local opposition forces.

Laizhou Prefecture is a very wealthy place with a strong folk custom. Even though the city was besieged for more than half a year last year, it still persisted here, and it is known as the iron-clad city of Laizhou.

Even if he is his nest, he uses the power above to cross the river and enter directly here, but it is not easy to control the place smoothly and turn it into the help and sphere of influence of their Liu family. Local people will give him good looks.

Although the people in these big families did not serve in the government, there were many people in the court and outside the country who served as officials. Once the trouble broke out, it would be a headache.

The "Ye County Chronicle" and "Sixu Ye County Chronicle" record that there are 64 archways in Ye County, including 10 officials, 13 gifted houses, 16 Juren houses, 11 Jinshi houses, and 14 Jingbiao houses.

Laizhou Prefecture is not large in area, about three in the north and south, about 2 kilometers from east to west, and a circumference of about ten miles. However, there are 64 archways on these several streets, and there are 24 archways on the north and south streets in the city center, which shows the strength of the local officials and gentry forces.

Most of these officials and gentry have friends, disciples and former officials in the court, and their power is beyond your imagination.

If you want to subdue these people, let alone Liu Yuanqiao, or if you let the governor Chen Yingyuan take action, he may not be able to straighten out these relationships, or may not be able to subdue these people.

Liu Yuanqiao's approach is relatively simple. Since he can't suppress it with power, he can use money to convince him. First of all, they drove out the Ma family's people and occupied their property. Here they gained some capital.

The Ma family and the others have been officials here for more than ten years. Before becoming the prefect, he became a few prosecutors, which are considered as a local dominant. They occupied a lot of shops and fields. If these things are counted, they are a huge amount of property and cannot be taken away. Because they were rudely driven out by the new prefect, the land deeds and land deeds of these things were not taken away, so they fell into the hands of Liu Yuanqiao and the others.

Moreover, they found more than 50,000 taels of silver in the warehouse of Ma Dongfan, as well as a large number of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. These things have not been counted yet. To put it bluntly, they quickly took action and copied the Ma family.

Of course, they are quite overly and simply and rude in doing this. To put it bluntly, there is no difference between snatching.

However, they divided the fields and land here to some powerful families in the local area. Everyone divided some things equally and gave a large sum of money to the governor. Everyone turned a blind eye to Liu Yuanqiao's rudeness to the Ma family. This is equivalent to fighting the local tyrants and sharing pork.

After this time, the fight against the rich and the others was considered to be a unified front and standing together. Everyone got the benefits and would not pull each other back.

The Liu family's disaster relief was actually on a large scale. They needed a large amount of food and a large amount of stamps. The Liu family could not produce these things. They could choose to buy them in other places or choose to buy them locally. If they bought them locally, they could drive local economic development and allow local people to make money.

So this time they generously placed the order locally. Although the price would be slightly higher than that of buying from abroad, they did establish a cooperative relationship. As long as this relationship is still there, the two sides will not be able to get a breakup.

So in the eyes of some people who are interested, such as height, he thought that the other party would be so strong and rude that he would be greatly resisted by local officials and gentry. At that time, they could drive Liu Zeyuanqiao away by contacting these officials and gentry and suing the court. However, what he thought was too simple. The Eight-faced Buddha was the Eight-faced Buddha. It took him only a few days to straighten out the relationship here and convince the local officials and gentry to obey. Everyone praised the new magistrate as a very stable, very good official.

He originally wanted to wait until the other party gets angry and resentful, and when everyone is angry, he will contact these people to resist. Who knows that Liu Yuanqiao has done so smoothly and has been so smooth, and he is unsustainable, and he doesn't know what to do.

But what he had to admit was that Liu Yuanqiao had already gained a foothold in Laizhou Prefecture, and it was in just a few days.

There are two prefectures and five counties under the name of Laizhou Prefecture, namely Ye County, Pingdu Prefecture and Jiaozhou, Pingdu Prefecture governs Changyi County and Wei County, Jiaozhou governs Gaomi County and Jimo County. In other words, there are two magistrates under his command, and five magistrates, all of which are directly responsible to him. He managed the five counties of Laizhou Prefecture through these officials. It is worth mentioning that his hometown is his place, and Fushan is also his jurisdiction.

The reason why Liu Yuanqiao focused on the location of Laizhou Prefecture was that this is his hometown, where he had deep feelings and strong power.

Liu Yuanqiao saw that when the current situation was unstable and chaos was approaching, he found a place to work hard as their base. At that time, he could attack and retreat or defend. To the west of Laizhou Prefecture is Qingzhou Prefecture, and to the east is Dengzhou Prefecture, which is the center of the Jiaodong Peninsula. Moreover, they also have a sea port, which can be said to have greatly expanded his sphere of influence.

The Jimo where Liu Bu was tossed by him in the past was only a small base. After passing Liu Yuanqiao, even if they had tossed out a large base, if they could manage this area well, they would be equivalent to occupying the Jiaodong Peninsula.

However, he had just become the prefect of Laizhou, and it would take some time before he could build this place into his own territory and base.

Liu Bu heard the news from Liu Kang on the second day after his father became the prefect of Laizhou, and his surprise was similar to others.

He thought his father had been driven to the Shandong Provincial Administration Commissioner to sit on the bench. He probably had to sit on the side with his tail between his legs. He was still thinking that if the things here were stable, he would have to go to Jinan, hug him and comfort him.

Who knew that his father was so uneasy, and a gorgeous turn came in a blink of an eye.

The other party wanted to use the method of rising openly and descending secretly and put him on. He just sat down on his bench for a moment, and then completed a gorgeous big turn. Within a few days, he was promoted from a seventh-rank chief to a fourth-rank prefect of Laizhou.

If these happened to the Hanlin-born Qingliu officials, it was not surprising, but he was just an ordinary official, and he was not from a Jinshi, but just an ordinary prison student. He had only been a seventh-rank official for more than ten years. He did not do many major events that caused a sensation in the world like those Hanlin Qingliu and the emperor's favorite ministers. He had received a special promotion that surpassed the level.

He can stand out from the enemy's siege and blockade this time, all because of his own skills.

When Liu Bu heard the news, he was also very shocked. He said, "My father is now a fourth-rank prefect?"

Liu Kang was also very excited, and he said, "The master is the master, and you have to convince others when you take action."

Liu Bu was still very excited, and he said, "Is this what my father is on par with Li Ruonan who killed that day?"

Liu Kang said, "No one would think that the master's value is lower than that of Li Ruonan."

There were two states under the rule of Laizhou Prefecture, but they were ordinary states. Linqing was a Zhili state directly under the jurisdiction of Chengxuan, so it was said that it was of the fourth rank, which was different from other magistrates. It was because it occupied such a favorable position that it gave the ambitious idea of ​​being a governor.

Liu Bu said: "So, I don't have to be polite when I see that boy Li Tianyi? Everyone is a fourth-rank official, so why should I be polite to him?"

In fact, Liu Bu was a little confused by the sudden good news and was at a loss. Even when he was in Linqing, he did not take Li Tianyi seriously, nor did he be polite. Moreover, he dared to make the other party lose money in Hua'e Tower.

From then on, they had never had any contacts. Even though their fathers wanted them to have some superficial contacts, they had no effort on the surface. However, Mao Pijiang wrote a letter to Liu Bu, sent some of his own poems, and said that he would come to visit him at the appropriate time, but Liu Bu was rather cold.

Liu Kang said, "Yes! Young Master, your status is the same as him now. There is no saying that anyone is lower than anyone else."

Liu Bu didn't like to listen to this, and he said, "Fuck! I am the same as Li Tianyi? I am the fifth-rank Wude General appointed by the imperial court. The Qianzong, the garrison who was responsible for guarding Jimo Camp, is nothing he is. He is just a second-generation official who only knows how to eat, drink, bet on the ground. He is not a big deal."

Although he despised the other party's identity as the second generation official, he actually knew that if he did not have the identity of the second generation official, it would probably be nothing more than a fool here.

Liu Kang immediately ordered someone to pack up.

Liu Bu asked, "Why pack up?"

Liu Kang said, "Of course I'm going to Ye County, I'll congratulate you."

Liu Bu said: "He is his Laizhou magistrate, and I am my Jimo Camp Qianzong. Why should I congratulate him? Am I fine? "

Liu Kang was originally packed up his luggage excitedly and was about to go to Laizhou to join in the fun and enjoy the joy, but seeing the young master so cold, he had to stop packing things. He said, "Young master, are we really not going?"
