Chapter 328 The new official takes office (to confuse Zi Xuan
"Shijun Yang?"
The news that Liu Qing is going to Taoxian County has already spread throughout Chenzhou. The officials are worried, and some officials who feel that they have not been recognized for their talents are secretly rejoicing, thinking that if a new envoy is sent, our opportunity will come.
Who is the new envoy?
Everyone has been speculating for a long time, and some people in the city even opened a market for it.
Someone asked Liu Qing, but Liu Qing said he didn't know.
But Lao Liu had a bad temper for a while, and his roars were frightening. But recently his temper got better again, and he looked smiling all day long, which made the officials in the state say that the king had a second spring?
Now after seeing Yang Xuan, everyone knew the reason for Liu Qing's joy.
In everyone's opinion, Yang Xuan was a young man who grew up under Liu Qing's wings and was a native of Northern Xinjiang. If he takes over as governor, Chenzhou's policies will not change.
"Hey! Get out of the way!"
Liu Qing is back.
"I have met the envoy." Yang Xuan turned around and saluted.
Liu Qing stopped, looked at him carefully, nodded and said: "He looks more steady than before, which shows that he went to Chang'an to practice well this time."
"Yes, I taught you well."
"Assassin?"
"yes."
"good!"
The conversation between the old and new governors was brief, but gave enough information.
Liu Qing said that Yang Xuan was more stable, which meant that he was satisfied with the newcomer.
Therefore, those who want to go to war should stop, lest they be beaten up by the old governor who is about to go to Taoxian County and unable to take care of themselves.
Yang Xuan replied that he had taught you well, which was a statement that he would follow Xiao Gui. This statement had a huge effect on appeasing people's hearts.
Liu Qing turned around. The old man's face was red and he coughed dryly.
"You haven't met Yang Shijun yet?"
Everyone salutes.
"I've met Mr. Yang."
The old man was so excited, "Let's get some food and wine to celebrate today."
When we returned to Zhouli, the officials had already received the news and came out to greet him one after another.
The old man pointed at Yang Xuan, "The new governor."
"I've seen the envoy!"
Everyone salutes.
The old man whispered: "Lao Lu wants to comfort you."
Yang Xuan knew this, stepped forward to support Lu Qiang, and said with a smile: "I will rely on Lu Biejia in many places in the future, so why should I be more polite?"
Lu Qiang raised his head and said with a smile: "You are so polite."
Lu Qiang's qualifications are old enough, but he lacks merit, so he cannot take over the post of governor. It is impossible to say that he has no resentment, but Yang Xuan gave him face as soon as he opened his mouth, and even showed a little bit of his younger generation.
His humble gesture made most of the resentment in his heart dissipate.
Later in the evening, the banquet was arranged, and Yang Xuan toasted Liu Qing with his first glass of wine.
"Without your care and instruction, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Everyone watched silently as the two drank the wine in one gulp.
Liu Qing put down his wine glass, stroked his beard and said: "When you first came here, I was wondering how Chang'an arranged for a young man to be the magistrate of Taiping County? At that time, I felt that this young man was probably ignorant and was deceived.
Die in peace."
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
"I didn't expect you to become a blockbuster." Liu Qing sighed: "At the beginning, the method seemed blunt, a little too focused on the head but not the bottom. After half a year, this method has become much more skillful. I know that this is talent."
Yang Xuan smiled slightly.
Everyone felt the warmth, and when they thought about the relationship between the two people, they felt that it was similar to that of a master and a disciple.
Without Liu Qing's care, Yang Xuan's career would not have been so smooth, and the process would have been much more bumpy. Liu Qing's words and deeds had a great influence on Yang Xuan.
The conversation between the two at this moment is more like a kind of inheritance.
The old man is leaving and Yang Xuan will take over.
Today's banquet was hosted by Liu Qing for Yang Xuan, firstly to support him, and secondly to resolve those dissatisfactions.
Liu Qing turned his eyes and raised his glass: "For this, let me have a drink."
Everyone raised their glasses.
Drink it all in one gulp.
Liu Qing looked at Yang Xuan and nodded slightly, indicating that it was time for him to speak.
Yang Xuan coughed dryly.
"We are all old people from Chenzhou and acquaintances, so I won't be polite."
This is a good beginning, straight to the point, concise and powerful.
"The so-called three things a new official should do when he takes office, but I hope these three things will be directed towards the other side."
Opposite is the alien race on the grassland!
Everyone felt relieved.
"I think the most important things in Chenzhou right now are two things."
This is the policy attitude of the new governor, and everyone listened carefully.
"First, we need to cultivate hard internally and develop agriculture, industry and commerce together without favoritism."
Liu Qing smiled, very satisfied.
"Secondly, how should Chenzhou respond to the invasion of the alien tribes on the grassland?" Yang Xuan raised his hands by his ears, "I just have one attitude, tit for tat!"
After the banquet, Liu Qing left Yang Xuan behind.
"The handover can be later. I ask you, how do you want to rectify Chen Zhoujun?"
Yang Xuan didn't say anything about Chen Zhoujun today, so Liu Qing knew that this guy had something on his mind.
"Chenzhou is facing the three major ministries directly, and there are many crises. In the past, when you were here, the three major ministries were intimidated by your majesty and made few provocative moves..."
"This is flattering me." Liu Qing was dissatisfied, but his eyes were filled with pride, "But the situation in Northern Xinjiang will only get worse."
"Yes, once the internal integration of Beiliao is completed, it will be a time to show its teeth against Northern Xinjiang. The opposite side will bear the brunt. Therefore, my idea is... to rectify the Chenzhou Army first and temper the Chenzhou Army."
"According to the way you drilled the Taiping Army?"
"yes."
There is something else, but there is no need to say it at the moment.
Yang Xuan didn't mention Chen Zhoujun before because he was worried about something.
The Chenzhou Army was an army that Liu Qing had been honing for many years. In order to act like an arm and a finger, almost all the generals were his confidants. Unlike the civil servants, who were unruly and unruly, it was much more difficult to subdue them.
How to conquer those generals was Yang Xuan's key consideration along the way.
Show kindness and power at the same time!
If it doesn't work, then resort to thunderbolt measures.
"That's fine!"
Liu Qing stood up and said, "Sit down and look at these documents. I have compiled them. After reading them, you will have a good idea of what the whole Chenzhou is like."
Yang Xuan stood up and saluted, "Thank you for your hard work."
Liu Qing patted him on the shoulder, "I can't bear to leave Chenzhou, but I know that even if you build a pavilion thousands of miles away, there will be no banquet that lasts forever. I am very happy that you are here."
Liu Qing walked out of the check-in room.
"Lao Lu."
This was probably the last time Liu Qing ordered Lu Qiang.
"Your Majesty!"
"Walk."
"yes."
The two old guys left the state house just like that.
"Where to go?"
"School Ground!"
Yang Xuan picked up a document in the check-in room.
The old thief came in and said, "Lang Jun, Taiping Lao Cao should be coming over."
Yang Xuan had a soft meal this time and asked his father-in-law to work hard and get Cao Ying to Lin'an to take over as Sima. Taiping County was left to Zhen Siwen.
"How Zhen Siwen subdues Lang Jun is an important matter."
The old thief felt that Yang Xuan's decision was a bit hasty.
"Are you going to Taiping?" Yang Xuan looked at him.
I'm going to be the county magistrate... The old thief was secretly happy, but when he thought about the things that happened all day long, he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid of getting into trouble."
"So the best choice is Zhen Siwen. As for how to subdue him... later on, you can tell them to send people to various places to deliver orders, and ask the county magistrates to come to Lin'an, which can be regarded as a meeting."
"Yes." The old thief stopped talking.
"Say!" Yang Xuan's mind was full of things at the moment.
"Lang Jun, Zhang Lichun is Liu Shijun's confidant after all. If he is not eliminated, it will be difficult for Lang Jun to completely control Chen Zhoujun, which will be detrimental to the situation. If he is eliminated, Liu Shijun's heart will inevitably be hurt."
"I'm also having a headache about this." Yang Xuan said with a bitter smile: "It won't work if we don't clean it up, but how to clean it up? To be gentle is to humiliate yourself. Being tough will inevitably cause Chenzhou officials to hurt their own kind, and it will also hurt the morale of the army."
Damn it!
Yang Xuan sighed: "When I was a county magistrate, I didn't have so many worries! It can be seen that the bigger the official, the more worries there are."
The old thief said quietly: "Actually, the more desires you have."
…
On the school field, four thousand Chenzhou troops gathered.
Lieutenant General Zhang Lichun stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
Liu Qing nodded, looked at these soldiers, and said in a deep voice: "Over the years, I have led you and others to fight against the three major armies. I have never backed down, and you have not retreated even under the banner of Chenzhou Army. I...
Proud of you!"
Liu Qing cupped his hands.
Everyone stood in awe.
"I am about to go to Taoxian County. The new person is Yang Xuan, who you are familiar with. I think many people will be looking forward to it."
There was some laughter below.
Liu Qing laughed at himself: "Compared with the newcomers, my record is a bit inferior!"
Zhang Lichun frowned, "Without your support, Yang Shijun would not be able to win."
Liu Qing glanced at him and said, "You have served in the army in Taoxian County for many years and have made outstanding achievements. I know all about it."
Zhang Lichun smiled and said, "You are so grateful."
"I'm about to go to Taoxian County, and I don't have many people around to help me. So, would you like to pick a few people from Chenzhou's army to go there?"
Zhang Lichun said with a smile: "Just keep your mouth open. If anyone dares not to go, I will kill him first!"
"That's good."
Liu Qing looked at the soldiers.
"Su Guang."
A lieutenant came out and said, "Your Majesty."
"You follow me to Taoxian County."
"yes."
Su Guang can also be regarded as Liu Qing's confidant.
"Thank you!"
Xie Ji's expression changed slightly, "Shijun."
"You go too!"
Xie Ji hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I am in Chenzhou..."
"Yeah!" Liu Qing just snorted, and under the influence, Xie Ji lowered his head and said, "Yes."
Zhang Lichun said with a smile: "It's a good thing to follow the envoy to Taoxian County. I might as well be my superior officer in the future."
Liu Qing's new position is Marching Sima. He may seem inferior to the governor, but he is a big boss in the Jiedushi family. It is not a problem for Marching Sima to appoint several generals.
So Xie Ji and others felt much better.
But leaving Chen Zhoujun and going to Taoxian is equivalent to starting over from scratch. Young people may have the courage, but Xie Ji and others are already old, and they have to work hard all over again when they go to Taoxian. It is difficult to think about it.
Liu Qing named several more generals.
Finally, he said slowly: "Zhang Lichun!"
…
Yang Xuan was dizzy after reading the documents, and the current situation of Chenzhou also entered his mind along with those data.
Not to say poor and useless, but not much better.
The Tang Dynasty was undoubtedly an agricultural country, and the basic economic basis of various places was agriculture. But Chenzhou was different. Due to the constant harassment of the three major ministries, farming became a dangerous thing.
Therefore, Chenzhou’s economy is not optimistic.
Without money, Yang Xuan, the governor, could not strengthen his back.
Moreover, most of Chenzhou's food was allocated by the central government. Once he and Chang'an fell out and the Ministry of Households ran out of food, Chenzhou and even Northern Xinjiang would be finished.
Therefore, food security is Yang Xuan's top priority.
If you want to farm, you must solve the threats of the three major ministries. Otherwise, if farmers go out to the city to farm today, they will be carried back bloody in the afternoon. Is this farming or farming? If you bury a person in it, will one grow next year?
Coming together?
The root cause of food security problems is still the military.
Yang Xuan raised his head and said, "Damn, find a way to get rid of Zhang Lichun, otherwise you won't be able to survive this day."
The sound of footsteps came.
Liu Qing is back.
"Have you finished reading?"
"Not yet, I saw the food here."
"Is there a solution?"
"You still have to rely on farming."
"So what do you want to do?"
Naturally, I wanted to drive away Zhang Lichun, completely control Chen Zhoujun, and then use my own methods to practice... I just waited for the opportunity to strike at the two opposing troops.
"Only when the two major ministries know that the incoming harassment is not worth the gain, they will stop."
"Well!" Liu Qing took a sip of tea and found that it was cold. "After you went to Chang'an, the Tiger Control Department also sent troops to Chenzhou."
Yang Xuan was startled, "How strong is the Tiger Control Department?"
Liu Qing looked solemn and said, "Not weak."
"How about compared to the base part?"
"It should be stronger."
This is a powerful enemy!
Yang Xuan smiled bitterly, "This Chen Zhou just can't calm down."
"Tanzhou raised troops last year, saying they wanted to defeat Chenzhou." Liu Qing said: "This time the troops were sent out with great momentum, I did not dare to neglect it. I sent people to Taoxian County to report the news, and at the same time ordered everyone to defend. I wanted to say less.
If one or two counties are to be defeated, who knows that the Tanzhou army will return halfway."
He looked at Yang Xuan with a questioning look in his eyes.
Yang Xuan said: "There are two possibilities. One is that something happened inside Beiliao, causing He Lianchun to lead the army to retreat. The other is that they pretended to attack in the east and attacked in the west. They wanted to attract Taoxian's attention. Then they
Want to do something in Tao County!”
Liu Qing looked at him and said happily: "You can think of this, I am very happy."
"Did they really send troops to Tao County?"
Liu Qing nodded, "Tanzhou sent troops with great momentum. Just when everyone was staring at them, Beiliao sent troops to raid Taoxian. Fortunately, the scouts worked hard to spread the news to Taoxian, and thus a crisis was avoided."
In every battle, both sides will give priority to clearing out the other side's scouts, driving away the other side's rangers, and try to make the battlefield unilaterally transparent to them.
Liu Qing didn't say it, but Yang Xuan knew that the price paid by the Northern Xinjiang scouts must be deplorable.
"Then I went to Taoxian County. Huang Xianggong said that Beiliao is so evil that he will not die, and the days to come will not be easy."
Yang Xuan said: "But the fighting in the Northern Liao Kingdom has subsided?"
Liu Qing sighed: "It seems to have calmed down temporarily."
"But it can't be eliminated!" Yang Xuan said confidently: "Whether it is the Tang Dynasty, the Southern Zhou Dynasty, or the Northern Liao Dynasty, it is a mess internally."
The same goes for Lolo.
"I went to Taoxian, please be more careful in Chenzhou."
"yes."
Liu Qing stood up and said, "Hey! I haven't moved in many years. It's interesting to think about it."
The old man comforted a group of people who were tired from moving.
Yang Xuan sent him out and when he reached the door, Liu Qing suddenly asked: "Is Chen Zhoujun what you are most worried about?"
Yang Xuan nodded silently, but he couldn't say that he wanted to clean up Zhang Lichun and others, lest the old man would be sad.
"Zhang Lichun and others are reluctant to leave me and want to follow me to Taoxian County." Liu Qing looked sideways at Yang Xuan with gentle eyes, "I agreed."
