The seat of Liangzhou Prefecture is Liangzhou City, which governs five counties: Guzang, Shenniao, Fanhe, Changsong and Jialin. Each county has a county seat and a certain number of Song army guards.
It seems that Liangzhou Prefecture is still under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty, but in fact various forces are intertwined and have their own distribution of interests.
Although Liangzhou Prefecture is connected to the Western Regions, the "buying money" paid through Liangzhou Prefecture is more than through Dangxiang. For the sake of profit, more merchants are still willing to be exploited by Dangxiang people rather than choose.
Liangzhou Mansion heads to the Western Regions, because you don’t know whether you have to pay a second or third payment after paying a large amount of protection fee...
Of course, some shady things often lead from Liangzhou Prefecture to the Western Regions, and there are quite a lot of them. Not only that, Liangzhou Prefecture is under the intersection of the four forces of the Song Dynasty, Dangxiang, Tubo, and Uighurs, so the exchanges of interests are naturally not the same.
few.
After Ye An's Xi Lie Army arrived at Liangzhou Prefecture, they discovered that this prefecture was different. As the army entered the city, the looks from all around seemed very "unfriendly".
Although the people here have long known about the arrival of Ye An, the leader of Tiju Ganliangzhushi, in their eyes, this is no different from sending someone to death.
The only thing that the various forces in Liangzhou Prefecture did not expect was that Ye An actually came with an army, and he was still under the command of the Qin Feng Road troops. This was a bit intriguing, after all, the attitude of the Song Dynasty was a bit tough this time.
However, after all the forces learned about Ye An's age, they suddenly became weird. While they were shocked, they couldn't help but doubt that Ye An was sent to die. How could such a young founding prince survive in the complicated Xiliang Mansion?
?
But soon the Dangxiang people began to be vigilant and gather their own forces, because they learned everything about Ye An from Dangxiang. This young man who could severely damage their king had the terrifying name of "Devil General".
What made them even more puzzled was that after Ye An arrived in Liangzhou Prefecture, news from Qingzhou came over. Prince Li Yuanhao's personal entourage conveyed Li Yuanhao's order that the party members of Liangzhou Prefecture were not allowed to attack the man who had just
Start with promotion upon arrival.
The Dangxiang people have been operating in Liangzhou City for many years and are deeply rooted, but they did not expect that they could not take action against Ye An. This was somewhat beyond their expectations.
The Puhui Company and the Xi Lie Army were mixed together. At this time, no one in Liangzhou City knew that when Ye An brought the army, he also brought a more terrifying force.
It only takes a few days for all the workshops of Puhui Company to enter a state of war readiness. The blacksmith workshop, carpentry workshop, and cotton wool workshop can start work in almost a few days.
The remaining problem is the transportation of raw materials. Although Ganliang's resources are not very scarce, most of these resources are in the hands of various forces. The Song Dynasty is only nominally dominant. In fact, the Song people live here.
Very frustrating.
The only thing Ye An was lucky about was that both Ganzhou and Liangzhou still belonged to the Song Dynasty in name. Even though Ganzhou had become so corrupt that it had lost actual control, the land still belonged to the Song Dynasty in name.
What we need is this great righteousness. As long as we have this great righteousness, it is natural for the Song Dynasty to use troops against Ganzhou, and Ganzhou can be taken back at any time!
As for Liangzhou, the actual control of the Song Dynasty was pitiful. Because Liangzhou Prefecture lost three prefects, the person who actually held power was Tongpan Pei Chengxue.
The so-called general judge is the highest official in a state or government, excluding the prefect, who is in charge of grain transportation, farmland, water conservancy, litigation and other matters, and has the responsibility to supervise the officials of the state.
They were originally set up as deputies in order to prevent the state government officials from losing their jobs. They were responsible for making decisions on matters concerning soldiers and civilians, money and grain, household registration, taxation, and the hearing of prison lawsuits. They signed a letter with the guardian to implement the decision.
In addition, the general magistrate also has another responsibility, which is to find out whether the officials under his command are good or not and whether their duties have been repaired or abolished.
Because Liangzhou City is the seat of the state government, its scale is not small. The Liangzhou Magistrate's Office is located in the center of the city, and next to it is the Xiangjun military camp affiliated with Liangzhou City.
Pei Chengwen stood at the gate of the military camp and greeted Ye An with a smile: "The soldiers and civilians of Liangzhou Mansion were very happy to learn that the promotion was coming. I learned about Ye Hou's appointment three months ago. I feel very lucky that Liangzhou is lucky. Today
When I see that the Marquis is indeed young and accomplished, he will definitely be able to turn things around and make our Liangzhou Mansion return to its former glory! I am willing to do my best to serve you!"
There is no need to exaggerate the simple politeness in officialdom. This is not a greeting to a fellow superior. It is almost like handing over power.
Ye An smiled bitterly and said: "Pei Tongsheng, you are also Changsheng's senior after all. Changsheng cannot bear such compliments. Those who don't know better think that you are planning to pack up and return to Beijing to report on your work!"
Seeing Ye An calling himself a cousin, Pei Chengwen was a little relieved. He thought he was young and energetic, but he didn't expect him to be so calm. It seemed that the rumors were true.
He quickly smiled awkwardly and said: "Marquis Ye should also know the situation in Ganzhou and Liangzhou. Ganzhou has... Liangzhou Prefecture is not much better. With you in Liangzhou City, the army and people of the Song Dynasty have a backbone.
ah!"
"There is no need for Pei Tongpan to be like this. Changsheng has just arrived, and he doesn't know what Liangzhou Mansion looks like. Even this small Liangzhou City is complicated!"
Ye An was a little more polite, but Pei Chengwen smiled bitterly and said: "It's not only complicated, it's simply confusing. To be honest with Ye Hou, even though I have been here for many years, I still haven't figured out the relationship between the various forces."
Ye An knew what Pei Chengwen meant. The relationship between the various forces in Liangzhou City may not be as "harmonious" as it seems on the surface. Each force may be an enemy and have its own interests to consider.
Of course, Lao Pei was more reminding himself that the favor shown by the party members to him was not necessarily a sign of favor, and was probably plotting something bigger.
Of course, it is impossible for him to know the deal he made with Li Yuanhao. Of course, Li Yuanhao cannot believe it casually, but this is a signal of "goodwill" that he is releasing, hoping that the deal agreed with him can continue.
Ye An smiled: "There were rumors before Changsheng came, right? But Pei Tongpan can rest assured that Changsheng has not reached an agreement with the party members. Changsheng came to promote Ganliang and Ganzhou, so naturally he wants me to
The Song Dynasty has become the leader, so don’t be in a hurry to smile bitterly, it all depends on human effort, and longevity has brought many good things."
Pei Chengwen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not that I, Old Pei, don't know your ability. You can bring those bandits under your command in Jichuan Village. You Yehou is capable, but Liangzhou Prefecture is no better than Jichuan Village, Tubo
No one is easy to deal with, no matter the Dangxiang people or the Uighurs, let alone the bandits under your command!"
Ye An nodded: "Mr. Pei, what you said is not adulterated at all! If you were to take over everything, I would have to be careful when dealing with the state government office, but since you told the truth, I might as well tell you that since I, Ye An
When we come to Ganliang, we will definitely change the color of this place!"
Seeing that Ye An was so confident, Pei Chengwen couldn't say anything else. In his opinion, Ye An's many deeds proved that his ability was stronger than the previous prefects of Liangzhou Prefecture.
At least he came with an army and subdued the bandits in Jichuan Village. The dignified soldiers and horses of Qinfeng Road should be able to save his life, right?
