Zhao Kuangyi was bored and processing official documents in the city. The more he looked at the complicated and trivial matters, the more irritated he became. He thought about his brother going out to fight and establish meritorious deeds, but he could only stay behind to deal with the messy official documents.
This huge difference made him feel really uncomfortable in his heart, and he couldn't help but think to himself: "My brother is brave and brave, but I am not by his side. What if I suffer defeat?"
Zhao Kuangyi said to the soldiers outside the house impatiently: "Why haven't the officials arranged by the government to take over the administration of Chuzhou arrived yet? It doesn't mean that it will arrive around chen o'clock, it will be noon! Don't have any accidents. Go and check the situation. If it arrives,
, please come to the government office."
He also heard that the surrounding situation was a bit chaotic, but it had nothing to do with Chuzhou where he was located. Chuzhou was still very stable under his own governance.
Zhao Kuangyi has always been extremely confident in his abilities.
After about half an hour, the soldiers led two scribes into the government office.
When Zhao Kuangyi saw the two people entering, his originally irritable and anxious expression immediately changed. He was kind and friendly, and he quickly came down from the hall with a smile and said: "You two must be Dou Changshi and Judge Zhao. You are here in time. There are complicated affairs in the city.
, My brother is leading the army and cannot be separated from someone, so he is unable to do anything at all."
The two of them also said hello to Zhao Kuangyi.
"Dou Yi, Zhao Pu has met Deputy Governor Zhao!"
Zhao Kuangyi was eager to go to the front line to assist Zhao Kuangyin in sharing the military merits, and said impatiently: "The war ahead is urgent, how about we do the handover first?"
Dou Yi was Luo Youdu's neighbor and the eldest son of Dou Yujun, the right-advising doctor.
The Zhou army went to all directions to capture cities and territories, and a large number of civil servants were needed to manage the captured cities.
Guo Rong promoted available talents to Huai while letting officials recommend them.
Dou Yi was one of the talents promoted by King Pu of Bianjing to enter Huaihe, and was assigned to Chuzhou.
The old Dou family had a very strict upbringing, and their sons were all outstanding. Dou Yi was appointed as the governor of Chu, the second-in-command. At this moment, he did not care about settling down, so he agreed immediately.
At this moment, Zhao Pu stepped forward and said: "Deputy Governor Zhao, we encountered some special circumstances on the next trip. There was a civil uprising in the direction of Haozhou, so we took a special detour, which delayed us for a while."
"Today is about to enter the autumn harvest season, and the people have worked hard all year long at this time. But there is a chaos in Huainan. Will the food in the fields belong to me, the Zhou Dynasty, or Jiangnan? Should the grain tax be paid according to the normal tax, or will it be collected in full? At this critical moment, the people
I feel most uneasy because one mistake could lead to a civil uprising."
"This is the case in the direction of Haozhou. Local people and farmers gathered in the mountains and rivers and built fortresses. They used thick white paper as armor and farm tools as weapons to form a white armor army to fight against the Zhou Dynasty and Jiangnan to protect their food fields."
"What I have seen and heard along the way is that the people near Chuzhou are stable and have no worries. It can be seen that the Marquis Yu and the deputy governors of Zhaodu have a long-term vision. They not only have outstanding military achievements, but also take care of people's livelihood. They pay equal attention to civil and military affairs. The good generals of ancient times are better than
More than this."
"However, the surrounding states and capitals are in chaos, which will inevitably affect Chuzhou. We should take countermeasures in advance to prevent it from happening."
Zhao Pu is different from Dou Yi.
Zhao Pu had great ambitions but no talent, so he was not well-known and lived a miserable life. It was not until the first year of Xiande that he served as Liu Cipi, the governor of the Yongxing Army, and became colleagues with Chu Zhaofu and Wang Renfan.
Liu Ci saw Zhao Pu's strategy, and before his death, he wrote a suicide note to recommend Zhao Pu to the court.
Liu Ci had a good relationship with Prime Minister Fan Zhi and believed in his old friend's vision.
Now that the imperial court was looking for people, he was elected as the military judge of Chuzhou.
Zhao Pu knew that this was an opportunity. Compared with the aging former commander Liu Ci, Zhao Kuangyin was a new star in the army. If he could be valued by him, he would be able to achieve great feats and even enter the central government as an official.
Along the way, he explored people's livelihood and understood people's sentiments, just to perform well in front of Zhao Kuangyin and gain reuse.
When I arrived in Chuzhou, I found that Zhao Kuangyin was out fighting, and Zhao Kuangyi was also eager to go to the front line.
Zhao Pu didn't care so much anymore and directly discussed Chuzhou's civil affairs secrets with Zhao Kuangyi.
Logically speaking, Dou Yi is the chief historian, he is the military judge, and the second and third leaders of Chuzhou.
The two brothers Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi are not here, so they have the right to handle any important military and political affairs.
However, Zhao Pu was a utilitarian person and was unwilling to share the credit with Dou Yi. He discussed it directly with Zhao Kuangyi and flattered both of them.
The so-called "people are stable and have no worries" are all lies.
Zhao Kuangyin was a general promoted by Guo Rong. He knew his character and temperament well. Compared with those arrogant and powerful generals, Zhao Kuangyin was naturally on the same front as Guo Rong. His character was unquestionable. The army he led had the highest military discipline among the Zhou armies.
Excellent. There is indeed no evil record of robbing or oppressing people in Chuzhou.
But to say that you should show more care and compassion to the people is pure nonsense.
Zhao Kuangyin was only thinking about making great achievements and the life and death of the people. What did he have to do with being a general?
Zhao Kuangyi glanced at Zhao Pu unexpectedly. He was thinking deeply and saw that Zhao Pu wanted to join their brothers. He said with a smile: "Judge Zhao's reward is all for serving the official. You should do your best. I wonder what Judge Zhao has to say?"
"
Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyi immediately looked at Mung Bean and made eye contact.
Zhao Pu was excited and felt like he was guiding the country. He said loudly: "What the people want is to simply survive. As long as this is satisfied, they will not rebel. Just a little comfort is enough. Chuzhou is currently
The key is that the gentry failed to understand the benevolent government of the court, and I propose to imitate the benevolent government of Luo Du's commander in Luzhou, and use benefits to tie up the Chuzhou gentry. At the same time, the people will also benefit, and they will not be affected by the surrounding areas."
Zhao Pu's eyes are still extremely vicious.
Zhao Kuangyin despised the literati and hit the He family, a famous family in Chuzhou, with a horsewhip when he entered the city.
So much so that the He family was heartbroken and unwilling to be humiliated.
Zhao Kuangyi killed the chickens to scare the monkeys and wiped out the whole family.
This move caused some uneasiness. Zhao Pu proposed this in order to resolve the conflicts among the gentry in the city.
Dou Yi was an upright man, like his father, and didn't care about Zhao Pu's actions. As long as it was beneficial to the Zhou Dynasty, he ignored it. At this moment, he said: "Judge Zhao's words are very good. Mr. Youdu is the pillar of the country and exposed the hypocrisy in Luzhou."
The bad government of the Tang Dynasty made the people of Luzhou return to their hearts. We should follow this example and stabilize the hearts of the gentry and people of Chuzhou."
In the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, culture was seriously emphasized over military affairs, and few scribes could stand at the forefront.
In the past, there was one old Feng Dao from Changle, and then there was Luo Youdu now.
For Feng Dao, later generations Ouyang Xiu called him "shameless" and Sima Guang even denounced him as "a traitorous minister". However, in this era, from the kings and generals to the common people, regardless of whether they are wise or foolish, they all highly respected him.
But Luo Youdu rose against the tide. In this era when warriors were in power, his literary and military achievements were extraordinary and highly respected.
Dou Yi is Luo Youdu's little fanboy.
Zhao Kuangyi looked at the two fans of Luo Youdu in front of him and felt as disgusted as if he had eaten flies.
