The Spring Festival has arrived, but Wu Dong can't relax!
During the Spring Festival, countless officials came to Yanjing City to report on the situation in various places, and Wu Dong was busy receiving these officials every day.
In addition, they are busy with Hu Yanzhuo's affairs! Hu Yanzhuo's affairs need to be handled carefully and require cooperation from all ministries, especially the Military Department and the Law Department! Before Hu Yanzhuo is officially dealt with, all ministries are not allowed to leak the news! Wu Dong has already
Lin Chong and Zhu Wu were sternly warned not to leak this matter to Hu Yanzhuo! Otherwise, there would be turmoil in Hedong, and Wu Dong would not be able to spare the two of them!
Although Lin Chong is his brother, Lin Chong's character flaws are too obvious! Only with such a stern warning, Lin Chong will not be stupid! Wu Dong is very worried about whether Lin Chong can do a good job in the Law Department, and he has decided to use his intentions in the future
Pay attention to the Ministry of Law, every official promotion of the Ministry of Law, every
He would personally pay attention to the implementation of every policy! In addition, he decided to increase Dai Zong's authority so that Dai Zong, the deputy minister, would have almost the same status as Lin Chong to restrict Lin Chong. If that still didn't work, he could only let Lin Chong be responsible for other matters.
Let's leave the legal department to someone more rigorous.
It’s already the fifth day of the first lunar month!
Tonight Wu Dong held a "family banquet" in the palace. Wu Dong, Li Shishi, Xiao Feifei, Wu Song, Hua Xiaomei, and Wu Song's uncle Hua Rong are also here.
"Wu Song, how is the construction of your Sixth Army's military headquarters going?" Wu Dong asked during the banquet.
"Our military headquarters is also in shape! Under the guidance of the Central Military Headquarters, we have now established corresponding intelligence offices, operations offices, logistics offices, training offices and other related departments! However, brother, our Sixth Group Army
Now we are only accepting immigrants, and there is no war on weekdays! Tell me, when can we go to the battlefield?" Wu Song said.
"You are now accepting immigrants from all over the country. This is a very important thing! Maybe you will have to wait until the future to attack the Song Dynasty before you can go to the battlefield again?" Wu Dong said with a smile.
"We have been training so hard, but we cannot go to the battlefield. The soldiers are all holding their breath! Brother, do you think our Sixth Army can be used when attacking Xixia or Japan?" Wu Song said.
"This..." Wu Dong was stunned.
"The plan to attack Xixia has been drawn up. Xixia is in the west, far away from your defense area, so it is impossible to use your troops! However, we can consider the Sixth Army to attack Japan!" Hua Rong said with a smile.
"That's great!" Wu Song said happily.
"Wu Song, didn't Li Ying come with you?" Hua Rong said.
"He still needs to be in charge of Yingzhou! Even during the Spring Festival, those Hebei officials still sent many people to us! Moreover, Yingzhou is in the south of Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, and our Sixth Army is responsible for guarding Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture.
The southern border of the state is of great importance, both of us cannot come to Yanjing!" Wu Song said.
"Tell us about Li Ying," Hua Rong said.
Wu Song was stunned, not knowing what Hua Rong meant.
"You can tell me what you're told! Let's start from when you first met." Wu Dong said with a smile.
Wu Song nodded and started talking immediately! From the time he and Li Ying met in Liangshanbo until now! They have been together almost all these years! Li Ying's martial arts skills are not inferior to Wu Song's! In addition, this
Another talent is that people are good at managing money. Back then,
In Dulonggang, the Li family was originally just a small family. Later, after he became the head of the family, in just a few years, the Li family became a large family that could be compared with the Zhu family and the Hu family! In the Sixth Army, Li Ying was still responsible for managing logistics.
, he handled everything in an orderly manner.
Just like Wu Song, Li Ying was brave but not resourceful! He was also a general who was not very good at using troops.
"How is his conduct?" Hua Rong suddenly asked.
"Character?" Wu Song was stunned.
"Is he greedy for money and lustful? Does he abuse soldiers? What is his reputation?" Hua Rong said.
"Brother Hua is joking, Li Yingnai is a good man, how can he be greedy for money and lust? As for the reputation, of course it is excellent!" Wu Song snorted coldly.
Wu Song's face was a little ugly. Although Hua Rong was his brother-in-law, when Hua Rong asked such questions, he felt that Hua Rong was doubting Li Ying's character. He could not accept other people's doubts about Li Ying!
"The reason why I ask so many questions is mainly because I have an important task for him." Hua Rong said with a smile.
"Important mission? What important mission?" Wu Song asked curiously.
Wu Dong and Hua Rong looked at each other, Wu Dong nodded, and Hua Rong said: "This matter is of great importance! After we tell you, you are not allowed to tell anyone else except to tell Li Ying."
Hua Rong said so solemnly that Wu Song was also surprised. He nodded and said, "But it doesn't matter! How could I leak it so easily?"
Hua Rong said: "It's like this. The Military Department has decided to let him serve as the commander of the Eighth Group Army! In fact, before talking to you, I have been reading relevant information about Li Ying these days! Also, the Military Department
People have been sent to investigate Li Ying to ensure that there will be no mistakes."
"What about General Huyan?" Wu Song was surprised and asked.
"He has another appointment." Hua Rong said calmly.
"Okay, I'll tell him when I get back." Wu Song nodded and said.
"You go back tomorrow and take over the defense area! You asked Li Ying to report to the military headquarters immediately, and I will give him a good instruction! The status of Hedong is extremely important. The Eighth Army is responsible for the defense of the entire Hedong! There is no room for loss in Hedong, I
I have to personally mention him! In addition, I will also select a group of capable people from the military headquarters to accompany him to Hedong and assist him in guarding Hedong!" Hua Rong said.
"Okay!" Wu Song nodded.
In the early morning of the next day, Wu Song hurried back to Yingzhou. A few days later, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Ying came to Yanjing City! He entered the military headquarters, and Hua Rong gave him some good advice, including what he should do
Control the army, how to defend Hedong and other matters!
On this day, Liu Aijing, the youth leader of Datong, also came to the palace in Yanjing City!
At this moment, Liu Aijing and Wu Dong were sitting in the upper room, drinking hot tea! Wu Dong quietly listened to Liu Aijing's report on the situation in Datong.
The current Yanyun Province has a huge area. In addition to Yanjing City being the center, Xijing is another center of the Yanyun Province! Xijing radiates for more than 200 miles around, and this large area is under Liu Aijing's governance.
.
This year, Datong has developed extremely well! Datong's agriculture has achieved a bumper harvest, and countless people are praising Liu Aijing.
In addition, Datong also did the best job in recruiting soldiers! He was the first to complete the task of recruiting soldiers, and during the recruitment process, the people did not complain at all, and everyone rushed to sign up to join the army.
Just in winter, Liu Aijing also organized people to build water canals to prepare for next year's agricultural production! In fact, the Ministry of Economic Affairs has been planning this matter, but the Ministry of Economic Affairs has macro control. What they want to build are large-scale water conservancy facilities.
Water canals in places like this are usually handled by local officials! Now, Wu Dong saw that only Datong did the best.
During this period of time, Wu Dong ordered Dai Zong to investigate Liu Aijing carefully. He found that Liu Aijing's personal character was also flawless. Not to mention corrupt, Liu Aijing took out all his salary and gave it to the poor to support the poor!
This man is simply the Hai Rui of this era, and he is indeed an outstanding figure among young people.
It's just that Liu Aijing is still too young! He handles things in a somewhat extreme way, just like he was extremely harsh on the landlords at the beginning, and he only corrected himself after Wu Dong accused him.
Just two days ago, Li Gang recommended Liu Aijing to Wu Dong...
"I have an important thing for you to do." Wu Dong said after Liu Aijing finished speaking.
"Master Governor, please speak." Liu Aijing said hurriedly.
"What do you think of Hedong Province?" Wu Dong said.
"Hedong is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the people live and work in peace and contentment! There is a large population and developed agriculture, but the development of commerce and trade is not very good! In the past few years, there seems to be little development of commerce there! Also, there are many mineral deposits there, and industry can be developed
"You can learn from Korea, but Hedong didn't do that either!" Liu Aijing talked eloquently.
"If I ask you to take charge of Hedong, can you develop Hedong well?" Wu Dong said.
"Ah!" Liu Aijing couldn't believe it and stayed there for a while.
"Can you do it well?" Wu Dong said.
"It will definitely work! If I were to take charge of Hedong, I guarantee that Hedong will undergo earth-shaking changes in one year! That is a treasure land, and the government should vigorously encourage business! Now the people there are just like the Song Dynasty, they only know how to work at sunrise.
, resting at sunset, how much harvest can you get from this? The country doesn't have much tax revenue there!" Liu Aijing said.
"You are ready to serve as the governor of Hedong Province! I hope you can say more than just rhetoric, I hope you can really change the face of Hedong! Also, the corruption of Hedong officials is serious, what will you do about it?
Any idea? I'll ask you to clean up the officialdom in Hedong! Write me a plan!" Wu Dong said.
"yes!"
Liu Aijing left immediately. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. He was writing plans all night! He had been in charge of Datong for more than a year, and he already had a lot of experience in economic development. How should the government develop agriculture, guide commerce, and regulate the market?
He knows everything in his mind! But he has no experience and no good methods for purging officialdom.
In the next few days, he was thinking about this problem, and soon he actually came up with some ideas! Wu Dong was very impressed after seeing it!
During the New Year period, Liangshan's Propaganda Minister Wu Yong went to Hedong to investigate and investigate and mobilize young people.
