Volume 2 Qingzhou Zhipeng Section 75 Immigrated to Liaodong
Simbi finally got what he wanted, just as Cai Ji also got the result she wanted. Sometimes there is no absolute win or loss in negotiations, and it is really wise to achieve a win-win situation. It's like Xin Bi wants to explain to Yuan Shao, and Cai Ji wants to plant a "dark pile" in Youzhou at the lowest cost. The two sides tacitly did not reveal each other's old bottoms, so the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
However, after sending off Xin Bi and Guan Tong, Guo Jia showed a thoughtful look on the way. Seeing this, Cai Ji on the side naturally couldn't sit idly by, but saw her chatting while walking, and asked, "Feng Xiao thinks there is a problem with the result of the negotiation just now?" β
"As long as Yuan Shao can accept the offer of taking the sea route, it doesn't hurt to pay more grain and grass." Guo Jia first waved his hand to signal that Cai Ji didn't have to worry about the outcome of the previous negotiations, but then frowned again and said suspiciously, "Jia just cares about Guan Tong's previous appearance in the study. This person was quite loyal to Yuan Shao, but when Xin Bi was arguing with the lord, this person never spoke. Don't you think there's anything different? β
Cai Ji was reminded by Guo Jia like this, and he also felt that the expression of the general just now was a little inconsistent with his character. However, it is difficult to identify what is wrong with the management system. After all, Simbi is the envoy, and the governor is only the introducer. It is highly likely that the two of them had reached some kind of tacit understanding before they came. However, since Guo Jia mentioned this, Cai Ji can't ignore it. As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be demons. Regardless of the whole moth over there, the ship that sails for 10,000 years is always gone. So Cai Ji nodded to Guo Jia and agreed, "Well, this mansion will let people pay more attention to the movements of the management system." β
However, Guo Jia's brows did not stretch out like this, I saw him touch the neatly trimmed beard on his chin, and muttered, "My lord, it has been decided that General Zhongchun will go north to Youzhou. Then Donglai must have someone to replace General Zhongchun here. Can the lord think of a good candidate? β
"The government intends to let General Ziyi stay in Donglai as a soldier." Cai Ji thought about it and then told Guo Jia about the arrangement. The "Bing Cao Engagement" mentioned by Cai Ji was a subordinate officer under the command of the state minister, who was mainly responsible for the military and was only established when there was military affairs. Since Cai Ji has now been promoted to the position of county governor, the rank of her subordinates and staff has also been increased accordingly. For example, Guo Jia is now officially promoted from an idle "military advisor" to a "political career". Huang Zhen retained the "Donglai Gongcao" on the basis of concurrently serving as the "Book Cao". Wang Xiu also succeeded to the "Gaomi Order" at the same time, and managed the government affairs of the seven counties of Beihai as "Beihai County State". Pang Tong and You Heng were appointed as "false assistants" and followed Cai Ji to be in charge of the clerical work. The "Don't Drive" in the lower position, second only to the state pastor, is held by the newly joined Jia Xu. After all, looking at the entire Donglai and Beihai, only Jia Xu's qualifications are worthy of this position.
However, after listening to Cai Ji's arrangement for Tai Shici, Guo Jia asked her a little playfully, "Bing Cao is engaged?" The lord doesn't plan to let General Ziyi go south to Xuzhou? β
"I've thought about it. Both General Ziyi and General Junyi can lead their troops south to conquer LΓΌ Bu, but only General Ziyi can sit in Donglai. What's more, the government can only appoint General Ziyi as a soldier, and has no right to change the position of General Junyi. Cai Ji replied with feeling. In the eyes of outsiders, the identities of Tai Shici and Zhang Jaw seem to be equal. But when it comes to the critical moment, the subtle differences between the two are immediate. Tai Shi Ci is Cai Ji's confidant, so Cai Ji dares to hand over his back to Tai Shi Ci. And although Zhang Jaw actually took refuge in Cai Ji, he was nominally subordinate to Yuan Shao after all. Others can be promoted, but Zhang Jaw can't change his official rank for the time being. Therefore, in order to achieve a balance between the two, Cai Ji will inevitably have to put a lot of effort into personnel placement.
At this moment, Guo Jia saw that Cai Ji didn't need to mention it, so he noticed the subtlety of Zhang Jaw's identity, and couldn't help but show a satisfied smile on his face. But seeing that he was relieved to say to the young and old girl in front of him, "Since the lord has made up his mind in his heart, Najia is relieved." β
"It's over. The war is imminent, and it is impossible for the government to think about everything in detail, and if there are deficiencies, more needs to be mentioned. Cai Ji humbly bowed to Guo Jia, and then walked with him into the Dianzhang Pavilion on the west side of the lobby courtyard.
In other words, the Dianzhang Pavilion was originally a place used by the yamen to place bamboo slips. Since the Donglai Yamen had begun to replace bamboo slips with cotton paper on a large scale, the Dianzhang Pavilion, which was missing piles of bamboo slips, suddenly became spacious. So, Cai Ji ordered someone to build a sand table here and nailed the map, so that the Dianzhang Pavilion became the exclusive office location of Guo Jia and other staff members in a blink of an eye. However, Cai Ji's current staff group is not large, and there are only four people who are really normally stationed in Huang County: Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Pang Tong, and You Heng.
No, as soon as Cai Ji entered the door, he saw Pang Tong sorting out the topographic map of Xuzhou Prefectures, and on the other side, You Heng, who was also a fake Zuo, was holding his head in front of the case to meet Zhou Gong. Seeing this situation, Cai Ji motioned to Pang Tong, who wanted to salute, to continue to do things, and on the other hand, he walked to You Heng and knocked on his case, "Zhengping, start work." β
"Hmm" You Heng, who was woken up by Cai Ji's words, staggered and straightened up, and after wiping the substance that was suspected of saliva, he followed up and asked Cai Ji, "What do you command?" β
"Zhengping, please write a letter to Yuan Shao for the government according to the content on this paper, the wording should be humble and flattering, but not too flattering." Cai Ji took out a piece of tissue paper with a lot of words written on it from his sleeve and handed it to You Hengdao. As for You Heng dozing off in broad daylight, Cai Ji himself didn't mind. After all, compared to You Heng's bad style of changing the copywriting of colleagues at will in history, Cai Ji still preferred that he had nothing to doze off.
But Youheng is clearly being picked up by the new work. But he first read the manuscript paper handed by Cai Ji seriously, and then closed his eyes and thought about it, when he spread the white paper on the case, then polished the pen with ink, and began to write with his head in a sprinkled manner. Cai Ji, Guo Jia, and Pang Tong on the side saw that You Heng was just muttering for a moment, so they waved a little, and they all stepped forward to watch curiously. But You Heng didn't care about this, he still buried his head in the book, and after a while, he handed the completed letter to Cai Jidao, "Please take a look at it." β
Cai Ji took the letter written by You Heng, and when he looked at it, he felt that the article was gorgeously written and catchy. However, Cai Ji's literary literacy was not high, so she forwarded the letter to Guo Jia and Pang Tong. Guo Jia didn't plan to take over, but who knew that Pang Tong took the letter first and glanced up and down. Immediately after, I heard him whisper "Huh" in surprise. Seeing Pang Tong's expression change from initial questioning to exclamation at this moment, Cai Ji knew that You Heng's letter was indeed well written. It seems that the evaluation of his literary style in history is pertinent.
However, Cai Ji did not immediately praise You Heng, only to see that she followed and instructed him, "This government will attend the sailing ceremony of the merchant ships in Longkou Port tomorrow. Please also write another message. β
After listening to Cai Ji's instructions, You Heng didn't even think about it this time, and directly wrote down the speech needed to set sail. Seeing this situation, Cai Ji still had any doubts, and even if he couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, he blurted out and praised, "The words and chapters are vertical and horizontal, and he is really a genius"
You Heng was praised by Cai Ji like this, and immediately showed his pride. Seeing that he was crazy, he put his pen down and asked Cai Ji proudly, "Does the lord still have orders?" If there is no command, Heng will rest. β
However, in the face of You Heng's "rude" questioning, Cai Ji was not angry. He didn't respond to Youheng's words and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. Because Cai Ji knows very well that You Heng's talent is indeed outstanding, but his personality and temper are not suitable for being an official, let alone participating in politics. So after Cai Ji encouraged You Heng, he let him continue to doze off.
In this way, early the next morning, Cai Ji attended the sailing ceremony with the manuscript written by You Heng. When she read out her speech in public, Cai Ji was keenly aware that the reaction of the squires and celebrities present was different from before. In the past, after Cai Ji finished reading the manuscript, the squires would also praise a few words, but it was obviously flattery. But this time, Cai Ji could clearly read the surprise and appreciation in the other party's eyes. In the face of such significant changes, Cai Ji had to sigh in his heart that no matter how much the leader spends to improve his literary literacy, it is not as good as finding a talented man to be a secretary.
However, the main purpose of Cai Ji's attendance at the caravan's departure ceremony this day was not to show off her new secretary's talents to the outside world. The reason why she took time out of her busy schedule to participate in the launching ceremony of a caravan was because the merchant ships were carrying the first batch of Taiping people who had immigrated to Liaodong. Because the largest sea ship in this era can only carry more than 1,000 people at a time. Therefore, this group of immigrants is only more than 10,000 people, which is only a small number compared to the 100,000 parishioners mentioned by Ji. However, fortunately, Liaodong is not far from Donglai, and if you go back and forth a few times, the population of Jinxi Port will soon reach 30,000 or 40,000 by the end of the year, so that a large camp can be formed.
Looking at the pious faces on the ship at this moment, Cai Ji couldn't help but sigh that sometimes the power of faith is really needed to back up the unknown world, whether it is from the gods or from greed. However, thinking of the gods, Cai Ji couldn't help but subconsciously turn his head and asked the little Taoist Wang Yun behind him, "Didn't you see Daoist Yu?" β
"Back to the envoy, the ancestor has crossed the sea to Jinxi Port two months ago." The young Taoist priest replied humbly.
Yu Ji went to Jinxi two months in advance? Isn't it afraid that the appearance of vomiting on the boat will damage the image of the fairy wind bones. Cai Ji slandered Yu Ji badly in his heart. However, Cai Ji really has to thank Yu Ji for his deception, otherwise it would be difficult for her to persuade so many Taiping Sect members to take the dangerous sea route to immigrate to Liaodong. After all, these congregations come from the interior, not from the coast. What's more, there are indeed many uncertain factors at sea, such as giants and storms...... When confronted with such a catastrophe that cannot be reversed by human power, there seems to be no other way but to pray to God. Fortunately, the people on these ships also have their own gods.
And just when Cai Ji secretly lamented that the road ahead for immigration was dangerous, he suddenly saw Duan Rong leading an old man in his fifties straight to this side. Although Cai Ji had not seen this old man before, but with the other party's bearing and demeanor, Cai Ji guessed that this old man was most likely the former Hanoi Taishou Li Min. Because most of the people who can have such a style in this era have been officials, and Cai Ji himself is the only one.
Sure enough, as soon as Duan Rong came up, he led the old man to introduce Cai Ji and said, "My lord, this is Master Li from Liaodong. β
"Cai Ji has seen Li Lao." Out of the habit of respecting the elderly, Cai Ji hurriedly politely saluted the old man in front of him.
However, Li Min on the other side did not immediately return the salute, but squinted his triangular eyes and looked Cai Ji up and down. It is undeniable that Cai Ji is younger than Li Min imagined. Thinking of discussing important military affairs with a girl who can be a granddaughter at such an age, Li Min always felt a little unnatural. After a while, Li Min seemed to mean that the observation was a little longer, so he quickly retracted his gaze and bowed his hand slightly, "The old man Li Min has seen Cai Yuanjun." β
"Elder Li doesn't need to be polite." Cai Ji said with a smile on his face, "It's windy here, so it's better to borrow a step." β
Li Min also knew that what he and Cai Ji were going to talk about was not something that could be said in a few words. So he silently followed Cai Ji into a restaurant called Guanhai Pavilion on Port Avenue. It is said that Guanhai Pavilion is not the largest restaurant in Longkou Port, but it is the oldest restaurant in Donglai. At the beginning of the construction of Longkou Port, the Guanhai Pavilion has been standing here, and its owner is Cai Ji, who is the lord of Donglai. It is said that when Cai Ji first built this restaurant, he just wanted to rent it out like those warehouses for some money and solve Donglai's overstretched finances. But soon she became a restaurant where she could not only provide accommodation, but also do many unexpected things. For example, exchanging information, for example, meeting some special people. Therefore, Cai Ji did not rent out the restaurant in the end, and would entertain local or foreign business representatives here from time to time. First, it is to get closer, and second, there are many things that are not convenient to talk about in the yamen.
I have to mention Li Min's outfit here. At this time, this avenger from Liaodong was wearing a pine green silk brocade robe, a pair of deerskin soft-soled boots, a jingling jade pendant hanging from his waist, and a colorless six-color ring on his finger. Obviously, Duan Rong planned to make the outside world think that Cai Ji was just meeting a businessman who came from afar. As for whether outsiders will think so, it is unknown. At least Cai Ji can see from Li Minmai's official steps that this old man is walking with her.
However, Cai Ji himself didn't care about the disguise. Because in her plan, if Li Min is really the kind of person she needs, then this old man will no longer need to disguise his identity in Donglai from now on. So, after some greetings, Cai Ji picked up the teacup in his hand and saluted Li Min, "Li Lao came all the way and worked hard all the way. Ji is here to drink a cup of tea to Li Lao. β
"Cai Yuanjun is really polite. It is really embarrassing for the old man to be able to reproduce the glory of Qi Huan in this border county at a young age. Li Min replied to Cai Ji with a teacup, and then suddenly sneered, "But the old man didn't expect that the envoy would be interested in the Taiping Demon Dao."
