Liu Zhang led his guards into the city. Wang Lei said to Liu Zhang: "My lord, the family is deeply involved. There are also branches and leaves of the Jiangzhou family in Chengdu and other areas of Yizhou. How should we deal with them?"
Liu Zhang said: "Don't worry about the east. It's very poor there. Wang Fu of Chengdu will take care of it. As for the north, if Pang Xi doesn't take care of it, I will just destroy him."
"Another internal conflict?" Wang Lei's heart skipped a beat. The whole day of massacre had made him numb. If possible, Wang Lei hoped to never see such a scene again in his life.
"The threat of internal instability is often greater than the enemy's direct confrontation." Liu Zhang frowned and hit his riding whip. He didn't want to say too much now.
At night, Fazheng rushed into the county with a dozen civil servants. Liu Zhang rubbed his temples and received them in a narrow side room. These people were transferred from Jiangyang, Lin County, Jiangzhou to supplement Jiangzhou.
Yes, there are few aristocratic families there, and they basically come from poor families.
Liu Zhang didn't believe it. The local officials in the small town could not control the big city. Whenever there was a change of dynasty, the Manchu ministers were replaced by the three religions and nine streams. The King of Yan, Zhu Di, replaced the Nanjing elders with a group of royal aides. It was not a good thing.
"Do you know what I asked you to do?" Liu Zhang asked.
Dong He, the magistrate of Jiangyang County, stepped forward and said, "I would like to thank you for your trust, and you will definitely live up to your trust."
"Yes." Liu Zhang nodded and said: "Let me tell you first, taking over the government affairs of Jiangzhou is very difficult. First, the Jiangzhou family was almost wiped out. You must properly dispose of the property left by the family. My suggestion is
The land was taken back to the imperial court and then sold to private individuals. Secondly, there must be remnants of Jiangzhou's aristocratic families, which would be a great burden to Jiangzhou's public security.
Third, the rice and cloth shops controlled by Jiangzhou’s aristocratic families have ceased operations, which will inevitably have a serious impact on the lives of Jiangzhou people. This is an urgent matter that needs to be resolved. Fourth, the political situation left by Jiangzhou’s former officials
It is in dilapidated condition and there is no handover procedure with you, do you have confidence?"
Liu Zhang looked at this group of civil servants from small counties and hoped that they would not be intimidated by difficulties, but Dong He smiled easily and said: "My lord, what's the point? We just treat it as taking over a newly captured enemy city."
Liu Zhang looked at this local official in surprise. He didn't expect that this local official was very talented. He said with satisfaction: "Okay, Yan Yan will follow me to Chengdu. From now on, you will be the prefect of Jiangzhou. You will be an official in the four imperial examinations."
You will personally supervise the Jiangzhou pilot project. By the way, who is going to be the captain?"
"I'm the governor of Jiangyang, Li Hui." A thin young man stood in front of Liu Zhang.
Li Hui? Liu Zhang frowned. He seemed to have heard of it, but couldn't remember it. He just said: "Well, remember, Jiangzhou's current troop quota is five thousand, and the real soldiers are only more than a thousand, and they are all
Those who cannot bear to fight, you immediately dismissed the old, weak, sick and disabled after taking office, and recruited new soldiers, with the number of 3,000, to ensure the smooth governance of Governor Dong, is there any problem?"
"No problem." Li Hui answered directly.
Liu Zhang looked at this group of people. They came from a small place. They all looked very capable. They were much more pleasing to the eye than the fat pigs in Jiangzhou. They didn't look crowded when they were standing in this room. He felt relieved and waved his hand.
They went out, and Jiangzhou subordinate officials took them to take over government affairs. Now these subordinate officials were filled with regrets, regretting why they didn't agree to take over the position of chief officials that night, otherwise they would never get these outsiders.
As soon as the officials went out, Liu Zhang suddenly collapsed to the ground. Fazheng was startled and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Zhang waved his hands feebly and said with difficulty: "I have a headache, Xiaozhi. You can go out. I'll just take a rest."
"Lord..."
"go out."
Fazheng glanced at Liu Zhang and went out worriedly. Liu Zhang was lying on the ground alone, struggling to climb onto the bed, but finally gave up. He felt his head was pounding, and he didn't want to think about anything or do anything. That was it.
As he kept lying there, the scenes of the day flashed through his mind repeatedly. Liu Zhang felt like his whole body was churning and he had a splitting headache.
More than two thousand heads fell to the ground. It was a lie that Liu Zhang was not touched. Even during the beheading process, Liu Zhang wanted to stop the execution countless times, especially Ma Xiaolian's shouts, which made Liu Zhang's heart clench.
He didn't know that many of the people he killed were innocent, but he had to endure it and show a hard-hearted look, because he knew that killing a few culprits would have no effect, but would inflame the world.
If it rebounds, southern Shunan will really be in chaos.
Now that I have truly become a tyrant, the road ahead will be extremely difficult. Can I still go on?
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
After resting for two days, Liu Zhang still felt a dull pain in his head, but it had been more than a month since he left Chengdu. If he didn't return for a long time, the capital would be in turmoil. There were many more aristocratic families in Chengdu than in Jiangzhou, and there was also the time bomb of Brazilian Governor Pang Xi.
.
"Jiangzhou is busy with affairs, so Governor Dong does not need to see you off."
"My lord, please go slowly. Dong He will go back to the Yamen Office first. In two months, Shunan will complete the local official promotion and select qualified scholars to enter Chengdu to take the final examination."
Liu Zhang nodded and led the army of civil servants and generals from Chengdu back north. Shortly after Liu Zhang left, an eight-foot-old man entered Jiangzhou City with an entourage. The two rushed to the prefect's mansion and saw only county officials coming and going.
, there was no sign of the army stopping.
The attendant said in frustration: "Brother, it seems we are late, Liu Zhang has already left Jiangzhou."
This big man is none other than Gan Ning, Gan Xingba, the leader of the Jinfan bandits.
"Call me lord, is it your boy who calls Lord Zhou Mu the same name?" Gan Ning feigned anger and reprimanded him, then said with a smile: "I like a lord who dares to kill more than two thousand people in one day, and I, Gan Ning, will
It’s up to you.”
Just as he was about to turn around, Gan Ning suddenly saw a notice posted on the outside of the Jiangzhou County Government: Officials in the Four Civil Service Examinations. Anyone with skills in literature, martial arts, medicine, and craftsmanship can take the exam. Those who pass the preliminary exam will be rewarded with five taels of silver and will be arranged in southern Shu.
For job positions, those who pass the re-examination will be rewarded twenty taels of silver and go to Chengdu to take the final exam. Registration for the exam is free, and you will have three meals at your own expense, or you can bring your own...
Gan Ning licked his lips and chuckled, "It seems like we don't have to go to Chengdu."
In Fuling, East Sichuan, an old man in his fifties and a baby of seven or eight years old were eating noodles in a small shop. While the baby was eating, he suddenly raised his head and said: "Old man, I don't think this matter is reliable at all.
Speculation, the news spread too fast, it is obviously man-made, and the legends about Aguda are too exaggerated and cannot be trusted at all. In addition, the people from Yizhou asked you to treat the man Shouye Wutiewu, I dare
Someone must be deliberately fanning the flames."
The young boy looked childish, but spoke in an old-fashioned way. He looked determined and showed no respect for the old man. Instead, he acted like a peer.
And the old man was not angry, and said with a smile: "No doubt, you are extremely smart, so I should believe you, but the blood transfusion method in the rumor, I think it is very reasonable, and some people have used this method in history. But most of the patients still died without treatment. I just thought that if the barbarian named Aguda really knew this method, it would undoubtedly be a major pioneering work in medicine. There are so many amazing people in the world. Such an opportunity must not be let go, even if it is really done. Even if he lied, he was just trying to save someone."
The old man was one of the two great prodigies of the Han Dynasty (Dong Feng was not yet born), Zhang Ji and Zhang Zhongjing, and the boy was equally well-known, and was one of the two great prodigies of the Han Dynasty (Zhuge Ke was not yet born), Zhou Buyi.
