Lu Liang arrived at Xu Fu's room with a solemn expression.
Just as he knocked on the door and entered, Xu Fu looked at his expression and said, "Has the document of moving to the right come down?"
This level of thinking and observation is astonishing.
Lu Liang was not surprised. In those days, Grand Master Xu was known as "Xu Operator" because he was a strategist. Over the years, he has become more and more sophisticated.
It's just that he never shows off his talent.
"Um."
Lu Liang nodded lightly and closed the door.
Xu Fu asked again: "Do we still have to continue to suppress the bandits?"
Lu Liang nodded again.
Xu Fu became silent.
After pondering for a while, he said: "Liang Hanmin has great ambitions, but he is very suspicious. Not surprisingly, Lao Xiao's exposed cultivation and the Red Lady's escape from You County still made him suspicious of your origins. But... ...Even the Dajian and the newly formed Wu Gou should not be able to find out any clues about your and Lu Fang's background. I asked you to continue to suppress the bandits, probably to test your thoughts deliberately. If there are any more bandits, who would know that they are with you? If you escape from your hands, I'm afraid that everyone around you, including me, will be carefully screened."
"That's what I'm worried about."
Lu Liang said: "Liang Hanmin appointed me to recruit envoys for Jingnan County and be responsible for suppressing bandits. If so, wouldn't I have to fight with the righteous soldiers of the previous dynasty?"
Xu Fu said: "This matter is really difficult to handle. If it is really impossible, Li Daitao can only freeze."
He seemed to have already thought about this situation.
"Li Daitao is stiff?"
Lu Liang frowned, then nodded lightly.
This is considered a no-brainer.
If this method is used at that time, it is likely to leave loopholes. However, he cannot harm Madam Hong and other righteous men from the previous dynasty.
…
Just the next day.
The newly appointed magistrate of Youxian County came to report and hand over to Luliang.
Surprisingly, it was Liu Mao.
Now he is finally a daughter-in-law and has reached the level of county magistrate, which is regarded as a half-level promotion.
But when he saw Lu Liang, his expression was extremely complicated, even considering his palace.
Previously, when Lu Liang was the magistrate of Ningyuan County, he joined the army as the commander of Tanzhou. Although his official rank was slightly lower than that of Lu Liang, his status and face were not bad.
In fact, among the counties in Tanzhou, he only valued the post of county magistrate in only a few of them. And this definitely did not include You County.
But now, he had to come over and take over Lu Liang's stall.
That's all, it was Pan Kui who ran it for him.
It's not a bad thing to say.
There is no banditry in You County, and everything is waiting for improvement. He can still do something after taking office.
But Liu Mao suddenly felt that he was old and no longer had that thought.
Looking at Lu Liang now that he has become a "recruiting envoy", he feels even more depressed. There are many talented people in the country, but he... doesn't have much chance of success.
"Lord Lu."
After a few complicated glances at Lu Liang in the office, Liu Mao bowed to Lu Liang honestly.
In the officialdom, there is no permanent friendship or enmity.
Lu Liang did not deal with him before, simply because he was ordered by Pan Kui. Now, Pan Kui no longer troubles Lu Liang, and he and Lu Liang cannot be considered enemies.
As for the previous unpleasantness, now that I think about it, it's not a big deal, it's insignificant.
And really speaking, he and his son Liu Huafeng suffered the most.
"Master Liu, there is no need to be formal."
Lu Liang smiled and said, "I am very happy to know that the newly appointed magistrate of You County is Mr. Liu. Although I have not served in You County for a long time, I am still a parent official of You County. Today, you are the official of You County. The work is in full swing, and I will leave everything to you, Mr. Liu, for the rest."
Liu Mao once again handed over, "I will do my best as an official."
In fact, I feel a little bitter in my heart.
Not to mention that he is not in the mood to make political achievements now. Even if he is, there is not much room for him to perform.
He's asked about it all.
During these days, Lu Liang scattered all the money that had been raised in the county government. Although there was still money in the county government, it was already considered money in other people's pockets.
When the time comes to repair the roads and complete the county government's work, Liu Mao won't be able to take much credit.
After all, it was Lu Liang who made the money, and Lu Liang planned the matter.
These things are all clear to me above.
If Liu Mao wants to do something in You County, he has to wait until he can collect taxes after taking office.
But Lu Deye and the others have been left half-dead, and Youxian's economy is at its lowest point. How much tax can be collected?
If he wants to do something, he doesn't know how much effort it will take.
It's still a mess after all.
"hehe."
Lu Liang laughed again, "Then I'll call the county chief registrar and the others right now to handle the handover with Mr. Liu. It's time for me to go to the Jiedushi Yamen to take up my post."
The latter sentence is very likely to be superfluous. It is purely intentional to show off.
Liu Mao felt as if he had eaten a bitter gourd, but he had to say against his will: "I congratulate you on your promotion."
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
Lu Liang's eyebrows were dancing with joy.
Then he shouted outside to call Huang Xingchang and others over.
The handover was nothing more than handing over the official seal, documents, and other important matters of the county government to Liu Mao, and then introducing people like Huang Xingchang to him.
After handling these matters, Lu Liang ignored Liu Mao and returned to the backyard.
At this time, Lu Fang, Zhu'er and others had already packed their bags.
Of course, among the group, Lao Xiao, Lao He and Xu Fu were included.
Then there are Han Feihong and Jiang Zimo.
Lu Liang's merit report document certainly included the contributions of Han Feihong and Jiang Zimo. But up to this moment, there was no result yet.
According to common sense, the Tanzhou government office should make the final decision regarding the reward for Jiang Zimo. As for Han Feihong, who was in the military, he was assigned to the Jiedushi government office for dispatch and appointment.
Jiang Shina, Lu Liang, and Lu Fang are not too worried. Even Han Feihong doesn't know if Pan Nanzhang will be a stumbling block.
But now that Lu Liang's promotion order has been issued, he has no reason to vent his anger on Han Feihong, right?
The dignified Jiedu Envoy of Jingnan County is not so small-minded.
We should be able to find out when we get to Tanzhou.
On this day, Lu Liang, Lu Fang and others set out.
There were two carriages in total, heading directly to Tanzhou.
There were not too many people seeing each other in Youxian County, but there were still hundreds of people.
They are sensible. Although Lu Liang stayed in Youxian for a very short time, he did more for Youxian than all the previous county magistrates combined.
That is to say, he has been promoted now. If he stays in Youxian for another two years, he will definitely bring about earth-shaking changes in Youxian.
Spreading millions of taels of real money will definitely be of great help to the economic development of You County.
