"Yes. We have tried our best. This is the case even if we try our best, let alone what will happen if we don't try our best. Langya County is a big county, and these people are so brave!"
Wang Tai looked out the window, murderous intent bursting out of his eyes. He held the teacup with his five fingers, and the teacup was almost bursting. Such a huge space-time vortex would not appear for no reason. After many years in the official career, Wang Tai's perception was far away.
Much more perceptive than many imagine:
"Yang Ji, do you know how many people die every year in our Han Dynasty? Killed by evil gods, by creatures from the underworld, by people from evil ways, by barbarians, by monsters, and by evil cults.
, was killed by green forest bandits...over and over again, no matter what the court did, it could not be stopped."
"On the western border, those barbarians kept attacking the city again and again. No matter how many troops or soldiers the court sent, it was of no use. They were consuming the population over the years. And in those remote places, large and small
Small cults and demon temples have emerged one after another, fooling the people, refining blood and bones, and offering blood sacrifices to evil spirits. There are too many of these things."
"In these things, the ones who suffer the most casualties and injuries are often ordinary people. After all, manpower is limited. No matter how ambitious I am, I can't take care of everything. So from that time on, I vowed to
We will do our best to eliminate the hidden dangers of our Han Dynasty one by one and take care of these ordinary people."
Yang Ji's heart trembled slightly. Although he had read Wang Tai's "Martial Arts", this was the first time he heard Wang Tai's confession. An indescribable feeling came to his heart.
Yang Ji suddenly understood why Wang Tai had always been worried about the border with the barbarians, and he suggested that the court adopt a high-pressure policy to eliminate the barbarians.
"Yang Ji, you mentioned the northwest frontier and Cangxu City in your strategy in the martial arts examination. I ask you, if I ask you to go to the northwest and suppress Cangxu, are you sure that you can use the method you used in your strategy?
, to help the imperial court pacify the barbarians?"
Wang Tai held the teacup with his backhand and clasped his hands behind his back, revealing his true purpose of summoning Yang Ji.
Yang Ji's eyes flashed with light, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. The strategies for the essay part of the martial arts examination were written by Yang Ji to cope with the martial arts examination and to win in the martial arts examination.
This kind of thing is the product of a specific environment. It has not been tested in practice, and it is difficult to determine whether it is true or not. However, this is not a random fabrication, at least in theory it is completely feasible.
It's just that Yang Ji didn't expect that Wang Tai would want to put his theory on paper into practice so quickly. He also recommended that he go to the northwest.
This is really beyond Yang Ji’s expectation! It’s too fast!
Yang Ji did not speak, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. The barbarians in the primitive forests of the northwest had always been a thorn in the side of the imperial court. The imperial court launched several large-scale sieges, and countless tyrannical and wise generals failed to solve this problem. Where is Yang Ji?
Dare to easily promise that you can solve it yourself.
However, just because you haven’t tried it doesn’t mean you can’t do it. If you haven’t solved it, it doesn’t mean you can’t solve it.
"My subordinate has never been to Cangxu City. I don't know the detailed topography and situation there, so I dare not make false claims. What I learned on paper is only superficial. Some things need to be investigated on the ground in Cangxu City before I can talk about it. However, although
This is true, but theoretically speaking, students are still very confident."
"As for pacifying the barbarians, this is not something that a student can do alone. This requires the combined efforts of the entire court and the people to solve the problem. The students also mentioned this in their policy papers."
Yang Ji stood up, lowered his hands, bowed deeply and said sincerely.
"Hahaha, okay!"
After hearing Yang Ji's answer, Wang Tai suddenly turned around, his eyes not only not filled with anger, but rather admiration:
"It's enough for you to understand the truth on paper. The northwest frontier is complex, and some things are difficult to explain clearly even in the imperial report. And the situation in Cangxu City is even more like this. Can you
Saying these words shows that he is extremely wise and calm, and is not an arrogant person. This alone is worthy of my recommendation."
"You don't need to conquer the northwest frontier alone. As long as you can conquer Cangxu City, it's enough. You mentioned using mulberry crops to win in your literary test strategy. Let me ask you, do you have experience in mulberry crops?"
Wang Tai's eyes were like torches, and he looked deeply at Yang Jidao.
"Students have no experience with this."
Yang Ji hesitated for a moment and then said honestly. After all, the Yang family is a wealthy family. Although Yang Ji has come into contact with some things related to mulberry farming, he has never done any of the work involved in mulberry farming.
"hehe."
Wang Tai laughed, flicked his sleeves, and sat down on the sandalwood chair next to Yang Ji:
"It's not a big deal to have no experience in Nongsang. You can learn anything. When the officials from the Ministry of Revenue came this time, I asked them for a Nongsang Division sign for you. If you don't mind,
You might as well guard Langya City for me for three months in the name of Nongsang Sicheng after I leave."
"You can't do anything big in three months. However, even if you are transferred to Cangxu City, you don't have to plant rice in the water. You just need to be familiar with how to manage and operate it. As long as you do it with your heart, I will definitely do it for you.
I am active in the Ministry of War, and when the time is right, I will immediately recommend you to explore Cangxu City."
Wang Tai said as he pushed a wooden sign two fingers wide with a slightly black surface from the table in front of Yang Ji.
"It is very rare to have actual military generals in the military. As long as you can open up a new situation in Cangxu City, your promotion in the future will definitely be of great help to your future career!"
Yang Ji looked surprised. The Sicheng of Nongsang had an official position only at the county level. It was equivalent to a position separated from the city lord. He was in charge of the agriculture, mulberry and water conservancy of the whole county. Although it was a civilian position, it was a big official position.
The official rank is even greater than the "Captain's Walk" that Yi Xiantian gave himself, because this is a real official position and is in charge of the entire county.
There is a difference between civil and military affairs. Wang Tai is a military general, and he is sent by the imperial court to inspect the military examinations temporarily. After the matter is over, he will return to Beijing to resume his duties. Logically speaking, he should not interfere in the appointment of such local officials with real power.
He did get involved in this kind of thing, and he seemed to have a lot of energy.
"It seems that Wang Xian is right. Wang Tai has indeed extensive connections within the military."
Yang Ji thought to himself. They are both generals, but Wang Tai is obviously different from other generals such as Qin Yan.
"Is it okay to let the students think about it?"
Yang Ji hesitated and said.
"sure."
Wang Tai smiled and retracted the palm that was placed on the Nongsang Si Cheng wooden sign. This kind of thing must be something Yang Ji is willing to do, and force will have no effect.
Yang Ji lowered his head, frowned, and was silent in thought. According to Yang Ji's original plan, after meeting Wang Tai, he would prepare to leave for Zhou Mansion immediately.
Wang Tai's request disrupted Yang Ji's original plans and steps. It was something Yang Ji had not thought of before arriving at Langya City. But what Wang Tai said made sense.
The more difficult a place like this, the more you can reflect your own value and attract the attention of the court. If Wang Tai can really recommend himself and insert himself into it. Once he can really solve the problem of Cangxu City, it will definitely be a great success for him.
Very helpful.
This is an excellent breakthrough point. If you do well, it will probably be better than winning the martial arts examination yourself!
As for the time issue, just adjust it later.
"Sir, the student is willing to go and give it a try. But the student does not have a military rank, and the reputation is not enough. Moreover, Cangxu City has an important strategic position. To guard such a city, you must at least be a military general from the imperial court. I'm afraid the student is not good enough.
It’s very far.”
Yang Ji hesitated.
Although he is very confident about winning the martial arts examination in Zhou Fuzhong, who can say for sure until the dust settles. Yang Ji doesn't want to say anything that will only make him a laughing stock.
Moreover, obtaining the title of a martial arts examiner is only to obtain the information for canonized generals. There are many martial arts examiners in the world who have not been canonized.
From a military officer to a general, he still needs to go through many tests. At least Yang Ji is still far from the requirements for running Cangxu City as Wang Tai said.
"Hahaha……"
After hearing Yang Ji's words, Wang Tai stroked his beard and laughed:
"In this county martial arts examination, even Bai Julu was defeated by you. If I am not mistaken, after this incident is over, you should go to Zhoufu to participate in the selection of martial arts candidates in November."
"Your Majesty, it is clear."
Yang Ji was sincerely convinced. He only revealed his plans to participate in the martial arts examinations to a few people. Wang Tai was able to tell the truth in one sentence, which still impressed him a little.
"Hehehe."
Wang Tai looked at Yang Ji and smiled:
"Cangxu City is indeed strategically important. To guard this kind of city, you must be at the level of a general. However, you also have to look at the situation. In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures should be taken. The situation in Cangxu City is special, and it does not necessarily have to be
You need to be at the level of a military commander to guard it.”
"Your current situation is indeed far from being qualified to run Cangxu City. However, you should have heard what General Dai said, right?"
Wang Tai said.
Yang Ji's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed: "Sir, do you want students to take over Cangxu City in the name of General Dai?"
Wang Tai's suggestion really made Yang Ji's heart light up. It is true that under some special circumstances, the imperial court would let other people who did not have such qualifications perform duties on his behalf and do things beyond his ability.
For example, during a battlefield expedition, if the general dies in battle, the captain below will take over the temporary general position. This is the acting general, which is a low-level position that is close to a high-level position.
There is another situation that is parallel, such as this disaster in the underworld. Wang Tai was originally only the inspector of the martial arts examination, but he took over the power of the entire county and presided over the situation.
If Wang Tai could allow himself to run Cangxu City in the name of acting general, he would indeed be able to master Cangxu City without having to go through the martial arts examination and the imperial examination and canonization, skipping all the complicated steps.
Although he is said to be an acting general, as long as the problems in Cangxu City are solved, he is actually a general. And his weight is much heavier than other generals with real power.
It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to directly step into the position of a powerful general in the name of Wu Xiucai. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
