The common people heard from the protective soldiers along the way that there were fields and food in Laizhou. Now they finally arrived at the gate of the city after going through hardships, but were stopped again, and they were inevitably a little anxious.
Thousands of people were buzzing and restless for a while. When the soldiers caught up from behind, they timidly stopped talking. And another green-robed official rushed out from the city gate, bringing a group of officials; he opened the door again
Tables and chairs to speed up checking and counting.
Wugu Lun Rongzu noticed that almost every official was very skilled in writing and handling documents. Judging from their appearance and demeanor, they should all come from wealthy families, otherwise they would never have such talents. After checking their identities,
The people immediately lined up under the command of other officials and headed to the preset camps outside the city.
This busy but not chaotic situation made Wugu Lunrongzu nodded slightly. He saw everyone walking in a hurry, but their expressions were calm. Although they were busy, they all knew their tasks, the things at hand, and the connection of all links.
in Apple pie order.
Wugu Lun Rongzu entered the officialdom from Jinshi in the Mingchang period. He served as a minister and supplemented the history of provincial orders. He was transferred to the magistrate of Gou, the capital of the capital, and to the school administrator of Hongwen. He was promoted to the magistrate of the Zhongdu general management office.
Sima of Zhangde Prefecture, Wailang, a member of the Household Department, was a veteran in officialdom for a long time.
After more than 20 years of working in the officialdom, he has seen many subordinate officials who are languid, indifferent and perfunctory. Occasionally, there are a few slightly talented people, most of whom are from local wealthy families. Their status as officials is used to dominate the local area.
Lucky for you, who really knows how to flatter government officials? With that kind of family background, it’s impossible to do such trivial matters diligently!
What ability does Guo Ning have to find such a group of officials?
No, no, it's not just what's in front of you.
The common people came from Haicang Town, and the officials had complete books in hand to check, indicating that someone had already made preliminary statistics in Haicang Town, or on the march of this army and civilians.
How long has Guo Ning been in Laizhou? Now he is full-fledged?
I heard that the judge of the Ding Navy, Yi La Chu Cai, was the son of Yi La Lu, the minister of the previous dynasty, You Cheng. Could this be Yi La Lu's family education?
Or... I heard that Guo Ning was the top thug of Tu Shan Yi, the most powerful official in the dynasty, the Prime Minister of Zuo, the marshal of the capital, and the king of Guangyang County in Pingzhang. Such a person transferred to another place to make great achievements, but Tu Shan Yi was against him.
The support is very effective?
There was another companion beside him. He had followed Wugu Lunrongzu for many years and understood his thoughts quite well. He coughed lightly at that moment.
"how to say?"
"Among the officials, some are junior officials from Laizhou, others are the children of local heroes, and some... Sir, please see, those few people hold their pens stiffly and write more slowly. They should be from common people.
A literate person selected from the army. Also, sir, have you seen that official in blue robe?"
"This man is very capable in delegating affairs. He is certainly not an ordinary person."
"I have a sharp gaze. I have never seen this person, but I must have heard his name."
"Who is he?"
Bandang lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Laizhou Zhang Ruji."
Wugu Lun Rongzu was startled: "Is he the one who killed Xu Ruxian?"
Yang An'er was powerful in various parts of Shandong and had allies everywhere. Wu Gu said that Rong Zu was an official in Ninghai Prefecture, which was like sitting on a charcoal brazier. Therefore, he sent more people to do their best to investigate and respond in time.
Xu Ruxian was a strong man who shook the earth in Laizhou, and Zhang Ruji, as Xu Ruxian's right-hand man, participated in many plans and was quite famous. Wugu Lun Rongzu had heard of it a long time ago.
Later, Xu Ruxian's forces were swept away by Guo Ning's troops. Zhang Ruji was so ruthless that he immediately offered his old master's head in order to get rid of the crime. This incident also caused an uproar in Ninghai Prefecture.
"This man is quite clever. He surrendered early and is now available. I once heard that Guo Ning was determined not to use the local treacherous and tyrannical people, but now he has given Zhang Ruji a position... It seems that he will be in the navy.
Our power has expanded too fast, and we have to promote a group of people."
"Ahem... I don't know what I know. That Zhang Ruji not only surrendered early, but also made great contributions."
"What credit?"
"After Ding Haijun defeated the Mongols, he announced that he would continue to expand his troops and establish military households and farmland. Zhang Ruji encouraged a group of Laizhou powerful men to take over all the mature and fertile land under his name.
Surrendered to Dingjun Mansion."
"Are you so decisive?"
Wugu Lun Rongzu was stunned for a long time.
The companion laughed and said, "All the old members of the clan have been taken out, and only one secretary and a few non-staff minor officials have been replaced. It is really a loss."
"Not necessarily." Wugu Lunrongzu shook his head.
How could such a thing be encouraged? This Ruji's hands must have been stained with blood again.
He first sold his old owner, and then cheated his companions, in exchange for this level of advancement. This person is really a ruthless character!
After a while, he asked: "Is that really Zhang Ruji? Did you read that correctly?"
"You are not wrong. I have dealt with him several times. When he followed Xu Ruxian, he was very powerful. Now that he is just a clerk, there is nothing to fear... Master, do you want me to call him over?
Lead the way for us?"
"That's not necessary." Wugu Lun Rongzu thought deeply, his originally dark face becoming darker and darker.
The horse under his crotch felt that the reins were slack, and he walked a few steps further along the road towards Ye County. However, Wugu Lun Rongzu suddenly reined in the horse, forcing the horse to neigh and circle back to its original position.
Several companions nearby looked at each other, wondering why their master suddenly acted like this.
During this period of time, there have long been various absurd rumors in Shandong.
Wugu Lun Rongzu heard that Geng Ge from Dengzhou traveled between Penglai and Yexian every few days, so he almost dedicated his official seal to Guo Ning. Here in Ninghai Prefecture, the always unruly Shi Poli,
Suddenly, he seemed to have disappeared. He hid in his own manor and never went out. Instead, he sent his nephew to Laizhou to serve in the army.
Originally, Wugu Lun Rongzu thought it was false.
As a result, the heroes of Laizhou did a more thorough job than Geng Ge and Shi Poli in front of Wugu and Rongzu.
It is obvious that Yang An'er has rebelled. South of Laizhou, the whole Shandong is in flames of war, and the two leading generals on Shandong Road, Wan Yan Sala and Huang Lai Wudian, are mediocre people who have no overall interest in the overall situation. Why don't these people respond to Yang An'er?
Zhang Ruji and others may appear to be local tycoons, but in fact they are long-standing bandits with evil intentions, full of plans for rebellion. Even Geng Ge is a person with ulterior motives... He can hide it from others, but he cannot hide it from others.
Wugu discusses Rongzu. Now that Yang An'er has launched an army and Shandong is in turmoil, these people are loyal to Guo Ning at all costs. Is it because Guo Ning's bold loyalty to the court moved them?
hehe.
As soon as Guo Ning arrived in Laizhou, Wugu Lunrongzu vaguely felt that the newly appointed navy military governor was not in the right way, so he tried his best to avoid interacting with him. However, the situation had developed to the point where Wugu Lunrongzu had to
Let’s find out the details.
Along the way, he saw the military and civilian camps, cities, fortresses, road construction, military training grounds, and the people who came here to visit Laizhou, and he felt a little happy.
He felt that the new king in Zhongdu had finally cheered up a bit after taking office. The Dinghaijun Jiedushi looked strange, maybe he really wanted to do things and was able to do them. He even defeated the Mongols, which showed that he was capable of doing things.
The power is tyrannical, and with just a little display, it can be enough to suppress Yang An'er and restore the situation in Shandong, right?
Now he suddenly understood.
The rumors he heard in the past few days were all true.
It is true that Yang An'er's allies or subordinates, such as Zhang Ruji, Geng Ge, Shi Poli and others, believed in Guo Ning.
It is true that Guo Ning's troops traveled to Shandong to search for men and material resources, and Yang An'er and Liu Erzu's troops did not use weapons to fight against each other.
There is also a particularly ridiculous one, saying that Guo Ning personally went to Moqi Mountain in Juzhou to negotiate with Yang An'er and delimited the spheres of influence of both parties. He also mentioned to Yang An'er that the two families were getting married. This is probably true.
This Guo Ning may not be from the same family as Yang An'er, but he is definitely not from the Jin Dynasty.
Wugu Lun Rongzu sighed deeply.
In this case, what is the need to go to Yexian? What else can I talk about with Guo Ning? Can I still convince Guo Ning to be loyal to the court with my sharp tongue? If I have that ability, I can still
Will he become a short-term governor in Dinghaizhou?
"We are not going to Yexian anymore." He whispered and turned around.
I had no idea what was going on, so I hurriedly followed him.
It didn't take long.
Guo Ning, who was in the Marshal's Mansion in the middle of Ye County, was concentrating on reviewing files when there was a soft sound of footsteps at the door. He raised his head and saw Xu Jin walking in.
"What's up?"
"When Wugu Lun Rongzu arrived outside the city of Ye County, he suddenly hesitated for a moment and then turned his horse back." Xu Jin said respectfully.
Guo Ning laughed: "What do you mean? I've even arranged the food and drinks for the dinner!"
"Most likely, he has figured it out and made a decision."
Guo Ning frowned.
Xu Jin stepped forward and said, "I'll keep an eye on him. If he knows what he's interested in, that'll be great. If he doesn't know what he's interested in..."
