After being polite, Wu Jianshu and others glanced at Ou Hongsheng and others who dared not speak below, and invited Lu Liang and others to go to the government office.
But Ou Hongsheng, Yang Chengyi and others are naturally not worthy of receiving them in person.
Officials of similar rank they brought out came up to talk to Ou Hongsheng and others.
Then arrange official residences for them and so on.
They are all officials under Lu Liang and are dispatched by Lu Liang. Therefore, there is no need to hand over to anyone.
Of course, Lu Liang, a deputy governor in name only, did not have to deal with anyone.
Go sit down in the reception room of the government office.
All the officials were obviously very particular about their seating arrangements, so Wu Jianshu was obliged to sit at the head seat. Then, everyone refused to take the seat next to him for a long time.
Logically speaking, Lu Liang's position and qualifications were not enough to take this position. However, because he had just arrived, everyone forced him to take this position.
This can probably be considered a goodwill gesture.
If you can gain Lu Liang's favor in this way and let him spend less time in Tongchuan County, it will undoubtedly be the most labor-saving and cost-effective way.
Lu Fang consciously sat at the bottom.
Wu Jianshu and others obviously knew something about Lu Liang's situation. As soon as he sat down, Wu Jianshu looked at Lu Fang, then smiled at Lu Liang and asked, "Is this Mr. Lu's biological brother?"
Lu Liang nodded and said, "It's my younger brother, Lu Fang."
Lu Fang stood up and saluted, "Junior Lu Fang has met all of you."
Since no introductions had been made, he didn't know anyone else except Wu Jianshu.
Wu Jianshu nodded with a smile, "I have long heard that Mr. Lu's younger brother has unparalleled poetic talent. Now that I see it, he is really extraordinary. Heroes come from young!"
This actually surprised Lu Fang.
Unexpectedly, even Wu Jianshu, who was far away in Tongchuan County, had heard of his poetic talent.
But he had no idea how big a stir would be caused in Chongqing after his collection of poems was published.
With so many famous poems handed down from generation to generation, many of the great poets of Dayu and Chongqing are put to shame. In fact, his reputation in the upper-class officialdom of Dayu is even greater than that of Luliang.
In other words, Lu Fang rarely interacted with this group of people, so he didn't know it clearly.
"hehe."
Lu Fang chuckled, "Master Wu has given you too much praise, and this junior is frightened."
Wu Jianshu still had a smile on his face, "I didn't mean to praise you. These words were said by the old masters at Dengyun Bookstore in Tongchuan County. Haha, if they knew that you came to our Tongchuan County
, I have to rush up to see you. We in Dayu have never had a great poet like you who has so many masterpieces at such a young age!"
Lu Fang could only smile and sit down again.
Lu Liang said: "Master Wu, please don't praise him so much, otherwise I'm afraid he will be proud and complacent."
Everyone laughed.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Wu Jianshu introduced the colleagues present to Lu Liang.
They are all senior officials in Tongchuan County.
Only their respective backgrounds and their relationship with each other are obviously not something that can be understood through a few words of introduction.
Wu Jianshu only gave a general introduction.
After a while, everyone had met each other. Wu Jianshu used the excuse that Lu Liang was tired from traveling and traveling, and asked people to arrange for Lu Liang to settle down in the official residence first.
Before the dinner party, I would like to greet Lu Liang in the yamen of the Jiedu Envoy Office.
But by the way, he also asked Lu Liang to bring Lu Fang over.
It seems that he really admires Lu Fang a bit, or this guy is a very impeccable person.
Anyway, there are definitely no simple people who can reach this level.
Lu Fang and Lu Liang were led by petty officials to the official residence.
Lao Xiao and others have been settled.
Later, Jiang Zimo also came with Zhu'er, Lao Wang, and Lao Xu.
Fortunately, Luliang's official residence is big enough.
Everyone divided their rooms and tidied up. Then it was evening before they knew it.
A minor official came over to invite Lu Liang, and Lu Fang went to the banquet.
At the banquet, the dishes were sumptuous and luxurious.
During the banquet, everyone also exchanged polite greetings.
Lu Fang also played with them.
When talking about suppressing bandits, he listened quietly and did not interrupt.
According to what Wu Jianshu and others said, the banditry of the rebels in Tongchuan County was indeed quite serious. Their battle formation was simply not comparable to that of the small bandits in Jingnan County.
Even Lu Fang couldn't help but feel surprised.
Because here, the rebels often number in the thousands.
Although there are only a few established rebel armies, if you add up all the bandits, large and small, there is no telling how many there are.
It was hard for him to imagine what the situation was like in Tongchuan County. How could these rebels persevere when the overall situation of Dayu and Chongqing was decided?
What is certain is that there must be people in the Tongchuan County army or the government who are secretly helping the rebels. Either the rebels have a close relationship with the wealthy businessmen and landlords below. The relationship must be complicated, otherwise, no matter how many rebels there are,
If there are too many, it is absolutely impossible to continue to the present.
After all, Tongchuan County's standing army and imperial army are not vegetarians.
There is a lot of energy in this place in Sichuan.
Call it hot-blooded or stubborn.
They have a spirit that is different from the people in other places.
Probably after so many years, the people in the middle of Sichuan have never sincerely recognized the emperor Liang Hanmin.
When Wu Jianshu and others asked about Lu Liang's plan to suppress the bandits, Lu Liang just said: "Tongchuan and Chengdu counties are seriously infested with bandits. I think that suppressing bandits is not a quick success. We need food and grass, and all the soldiers are ready."
.Therefore, I plan to train the various Forbidden Forces and the Green Forest Camp in Tongchuan County first, so that they can deal with bandits calmly. As for food and grass, I will rely more on you sirs."
This was what he and Lu Fang had already thought about.
Suppress bandits?
Only fools can suppress bandits.
Although these bandits may not all be rebels, they are also a natural source of soldiers for them to raise the flag of rebellion in the future.
Anyway, the Chongqing court did not set a time for Lu Liang to wipe out the rebels and bandits. They first conducted training with the Forbidden Army and the Green Forest Army. It was reasonable and reasonable, and no one could find fault.
Not to mention that Lu Fang still has to go to Kyoto to participate in the imperial examination. Even if he doesn't go to Kyoto, this bandit will never be able to suppress him.
Only delaying time is the best way.
Liang Hanmin wanted to completely quell the banditry before the war broke out on the border, and what they had to do was to try to push the time until after the war broke out on the border.
By then, most of the energy of the Dayu court will be on the border, and they will have a chance to survive in the cracks.
"well."
Wu Jianshu and others really did not raise any objections.
Wu Jianshu only said: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, since you are sent by the imperial court to suppress the bandits, we should do our best with the logistics and food supplies."
"Thank you very much."
Luliang Gongshou Tao.
A cold light flashed through the depths of his eyes.
