In early January in Lujiang County, the sky was clear and the wind was gentle.
Winter is gone and the weather is getting warmer.
People everywhere are busy with spring plowing, and even local officials are doing their best to mobilize people for spring plowing. This year's spring plowing is very different from last year, because Lujiang County has received a large number of refugees from various places.
The refugees were resettled in Shu County, as well as Linhu and Juchao counties surrounding Shu County.
With more people, Lu Xuan's military resources were replenished, and with more people, as long as they were settled, the place would become more prosperous.
This is something that kills two birds with one stone.
Lu Xuan took people to inspect places early in the morning to understand the local spring plowing situation. After a busy day, he visited many places. Spring plowing in various places was carried out in an orderly manner, and there was a prosperous scene.
The current Lujiang County is such a scene, as if it is a paradise, untouched by war.
At the end of the Shen Dynasty, Lu Xuan returned to the prefect's mansion.
As soon as he returned, his attendant came back and reported: "Master Gu Yong, please see me."
"Please."
Lu Xuan was in high spirits.
Lu Xuan and Zhang Zhao had previously agreed to ask Zhao Gui, the chief registrar, to serve as county magistrate in Wan County and to transfer Gu Yong back. However, Gu Yong never came back and only now returned to Shu County.
Not long after, Gu Yong strode in.
Compared with last year, Gu Yong has experienced more weather and appears more calm. After all, taking charge of Wan County seems to be easy, but in fact, it is not simple and easy to do things well.
Gu Yong saluted and said: "My lord."
Lu Xuandao: "Brother-in-law, sit down."
Gu Yong never overstepped his bounds and sat down in a polite manner and said: "I was in Wan County and heard about my lord's killing of businessmen from four major families, and I also knew about Gu Lie. This time, I killed well."
"If the Gu family wants to make money, it should do so in a wise way and should not drive up prices like this."
"In particular, the benefits of Feixianjiu are distributed to the Gu family. With this amount of money alone, the Gu family has made a lot of money. The Gu family is still not satisfied, so it should be dealt with. Otherwise, desire is like a gap, and it will be difficult to fill it.
Already."
Gu Yong said loudly: "I told the Gu family about Gu Lie's murder, and everyone in the Gu family has no objection."
Lu Xuandao: "Brother-in-law, it's hard work."
Gu Yong shook his head and said: "It's not hard work, but the Gu family has caused trouble for the master. I feel ashamed of my humble position."
Lu Xuan said: "What happened to the Gu family has become a thing of the past. In fact, I want to thank the businessmen of the four major families. They forced me to build the supermarket. No one can blame or object."
"At present, large government-run supermarkets not only sell food, but also sell oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and clothes. The existence of supermarkets maintains the stability of local food and material prices."
"This matter has already been implemented in all counties in Lujiang County."
Lu Xuan said: "From this perspective, it is a good deal."
Gu Yong said: "My lord, setting up a supermarket will indeed help stabilize the local area. What arrangements are you going to make when I am sent back this time?"
Lu Xuan said: "I went to Jingzhou to congratulate Liu Biao on his birthday. Liu Biao went to the court and recommended me to be the shepherd of Yangzhou. As the shepherd of Yangzhou, I lacked talents around me, so I transferred my brother-in-law back."
"The problem of the government-run supermarket has been solved. Local food prices have also stabilized. Now that my brother-in-law is back, I am going to adjust the structure and re-appoint everyone under my command."
Gu Yong said solemnly: "I am humble enough to obey the Lord's orders."
Lu Xuandao: "Brother-in-law, regarding your arrangements, I hope you will master the intelligence for me and be responsible for supervising internal officials, instigating external rebellion, and seeking information."
Gu Yong raised his eyebrows.
He was a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan would leave this matter to him.
This is the most important.
Gu Yong thought for a moment and said, "My lord, this is the most confidential matter. I'm afraid I'm not qualified for it."
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "I don't trust anyone except my brother-in-law. When Lujiang County was weak, my brother-in-law stayed in Lujiang County. After I took office, my brother-in-law fulfilled his duties in the local area. My brother-in-law is a member of my family, so why don't I trust my brother-in-law?
Do I trust outsiders?"
Gu Yong's elegant face showed a smile, and he said: "Then I will try my best."
Lu Xuandao: "Thank you very much, brother-in-law."
"Here comes someone."
Lu Xuan gave an order.
"exist!"
Lu Meng entered and bowed to salute.
Lu Xuan ordered: "Send an order to invite Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Kuai Liang, Yan Xiang, Mi Fang, Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Zuo Ci and Li Qian to come to the hall to discuss matters."
"Here!"
Lu Meng turned around to inform.
Lu Xuan took Gu Yong to the lobby to wait.
After a short time, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and other civil and military personnel entered the hall together, saluted Lu Xuan, and then took their seats.
Everyone's eyes fell on Lu Xuan, his eyes bright.
The news that Lu Xuan was recommended by Liu Biao to serve as the shepherd of Yangzhou has already spread, and everyone under Lu Xuan's command knows it. However, Lu Xuan has not made a formal announcement, so everyone can only wait. Now that Lu Xuan has summoned everyone, it means that he will
arrange.
Lu Xuan looked around at everyone and said: "It has been almost half a month since I came back from Jingzhou. During this period, I was mainly busy with the problems of the government-run supermarket and spring plowing matters. Now that everything has been resolved, it is time to rearrange the official position. Liu Biao recommended me to be the Yangzhou Shepherd
, it has never been made clear. Now, I will directly open the government and take the position of Yangzhou Shepherd."
In the hall, everyone looked excited.
Lu Xuan is the master.
They are ministers.
Lu Xuan was just a local governor, what prospects could the people below him have? Lu Xuan became Yangzhou Shepherd and had to adjust his official position. For them, it meant an opportunity.
As Lu Xuan becomes better, the power in their hands will be greater and they will have greater room for development.
One by one, they are looking forward to it in their hearts.
Lu Xuan continued: "I serve as a state pastor. If I don't follow the structure of the state pastor, it will be of no use. In order to be streamlined and clear, I arrange and adjust it according to the six ministers of the Shangshutai. My arrangements are for people.
Do your duty and have no other thoughts."
The people in the hall were all discerning, and when they heard Lu Xuan's words, they all had surprised looks on their faces.
What kind of organization is Shangshutai?
It was the decision-making body of Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. After Liu Xiu founded the country and proclaimed himself emperor, he still had the official positions of Situ, Sikong, and Taiwei, three highly respected officials. However, the three officials had no real power and were only honorary positions for those with high moral standing.
Commendations from courtiers.
The power was arranged by Liu Xiu at the Chancellor's desk.
The chief official of Shangshu Ling is Shangshu Ling. Under Shangshu Ling, there are Shangshu Pushe as deputy, and then there are six Cao Cao as subordinate agencies to handle all major affairs of the government.
Under this premise, there is only one way for the three princes to take control of the government, and add another official system - recording the affairs of the minister, which means that the general commander of the minister's desk directly takes over the power.
Situ Wang Yun is such an example. Before Dong Zhuo was killed, Wang Yun was just a Situ. After killing Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun directly gave himself the official position of "Recorder of the Secretariat" and took charge of government affairs as a Situ.
It is self-evident that Lu Xuan, as Yangzhou Shepherd, is arranged according to the specifications of the Shangshutai.
He said he had no other thoughts.
However, the thoughts are obvious.
After everyone was shocked, they were even more happy. The world was in complete chaos. If Lu Xuan followed the rules and was just a prefect, these people felt that there was no future. Lu Xuan's thoughts were revealed, giving everyone hope.
