Chapter 259: Meizhou First Meeting

Meizhou is close to the Minjiang River and is located on the southwest edge of the western plain of Shudi, which can be regarded as a superior environment in terms of geographical location.

Meizhou has fertile land and abundant products, if Zhao Yuan can control Meizhou, coupled with the continuous introduction of new farming techniques from various farms under Zhao Yuan's system, in agriculture, Meizhou can become the largest granary of this era.

"If you don't have a smart person, then don't blame me for being ruthless." Looking at the dilapidated Thorn Mansion, there was not even a doorkeeper, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but be angry and funny.

"I'm afraid this is the most shabby thorn in the history of Hou Shu."

Although Zhao Yuan has never been involved in officialdom, he has been a casual official for several years, and he has a good relationship with Zhang Xucong, so he has long understood the rules of officialdom.

In private, no matter how hard the fight is, you should be silent on the scene and maintain a minimum of courtesy, of course, this is for officials with little difference between level and rank.

This group of officials in Meizhou, in terms of rank, are all subordinates of Zhao Yuan, and Zhao Yuan controls their assessment, and they don't know how confident they are in treating Zhao Yuan, the newly appointed assassin.

"My lord, the Thorn Mansion is so broken, there is no way to live in it without repairing it, we have another house in the city." Guo Du saw Zhao Yuan shaking his head and stepped forward to say.

"Don't drive the Assassin's Mansion, it doesn't look like there are people living in this mansion."

"It is said that Luo Andong bought a mansion in the city less than a month after the accident of the assassin in office, and he has never returned, and even a member of the official guards of the assassin's mansion and others have moved over together, and the official seals, account books, documents, and books that the adults need to hand over should be elsewhere."

"What happened to the assassin in the previous office?"

Zhao Yuan knew that the history of the Meizhou assassin had been empty for a long time, but he didn't know that the previous assassin was actually an accident.

"The news we heard seems to be a confused account, the last assassin surnamed Zhou, it is said that he was born in Pinghan, and he brought a few retinues with him when he took office in Meizhou. The history of a state assassin is already very high, but it is unknown and disappeared all of a sudden, and there is no explanation on it. There are rumors outside, some say that they were infected with the epidemic and could not be cured, some say that they offended some big man and were killed, and some say that they looked down on Hongchen and abandoned their officials and went into hiding. ”

"What about his retinue, can they still be found?"

"It's been missing for a long time, but there is gossip in the city that it is related to the current Bei Jia and Liucao, and no one dares to discuss it on the surface."

"It's foggy, but after all, it's all in the past, it's too difficult to find out, and the Assassin's Mansion is like this, which just gives me an excuse to take the opportunity to rebuild the Assassin's Mansion to go home."

"My lord, can you take a look at it?" Seeing that Zhao Yuan was quite interested in the Thorn History Mansion in front of him, Guo Du asked.

"Forget it, everyone is tired all the way, let's stay for three or five days this time, let's come back tomorrow." Zhao Yuan shook his head.

Zhao Yuan planned to take a closer look at Meizhou's information, improve the local policy strategy in Meizhou, and also meet with the county officials of several counties under Meizhou's rule who had been able to rush to Meizhou in recent days.

In order to completely control Meizhou, officials everywhere must be able to cooperate with Zhao Yuan, and under the vigorous and resolute action, there will inevitably be a bloody storm at that time, which is also Zhao Yuan's hope that when the Northern Song Dynasty arrives, he can build a stable rear.

Meizhou Thorn History, because of the status of Meizhou's grain production area, ranked in Shangzhou in Houshu, so Zhao Yuan's grade is from the three grades, and the full Assassin Shi Mansion subordinate officials should have another driver, Changshi, Sima, Lu Jun Counselor, Gong, Cang, Hu, Law, Shi, Bing and other six Cao joined the army, in addition to the city order, Cheng, literature, medical doctors, etc., the staffing can be said to be more.

The history of Meizhou has been vacant for a long time, and the current Meizhou officials are not complete, only Liucao and Beijia are still in office, respectively from several big families in Meizhou City, among which the relationship is intertwined, and the power of the officials is more from the power owned by the family, rather than the advantages and disadvantages of the grade.

The court of Houshu at this time has long been corrupted, and most of the extravagant life of the powerful in the court depends on the entry of officials from all over the country.

After repairing overnight, Zhao Yuan directly led everyone to Luo Andong's mansion, looking at the scale of the Luo family's mansion, this place is more like the mansion of the assassin.

"The lower official saw Lord Assassin Shi, but I didn't know that the Lord had arrived, and I couldn't meet him from afar, so I asked my lord to forgive me."

Luo Andong is not confused when he is old, he looks rich, Zhao Yuan can't help but think of the appearance of the county commander in the film and television dramas in the future, but the body is more obese.

"Didn't Luo Beijia know that this official would go to Meizhou yesterday?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"Sure enough, he is young and vigorous, and he has no city in his chest, as long as he flatters him a few words, he should be able to make him unable to find the north." Hearing Zhao Yuan's direct questioning, Luo Andong did not panic at all, but breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself secretly.

"Don't blame me, the lower officials really didn't know that the adults arrived yesterday, and the lower officials received a notice that the adults only arrived today, and they were preparing to summon the officials of Meizhou to go to the state border to welcome the adults." Luo Andong explained.

"Is it, Guo Du, the person we sent to inform will not say the wrong day of the official's arrival?" Zhao Yuan understood in his heart that Luo Andong was fooling himself, and asked Guo Du.

"My lord, the person who arranged the lowly position will never notify the wrong time!" Guo Du, who was standing behind Zhao Yuan to guard, replied.

"My lord's forgiveness, if it wasn't for the wrong time sent by the guard, then it must be that the people in my house didn't hear it clearly, and the lower officials must be severely punished."

"Okay, you find the person who passed it on, see who it is, and you can pass on the wrong time when the official took office, if it is a member of the Assassin's Mansion, the official will definitely fire this kind of person who doesn't care about doing things at all."

"The lower officer will send someone to investigate and find the soldiers who spread the news."

"No need, since he is just a soldier, it must be under the control of the soldiers of the government, and the official will look for him when the time comes. Luo Beijia sent the official seal of the official and the book of Meizhou to the official. ”

"Wait a minute, my lord, the lower official has already prepared, and this will send people to the Assassin's Mansion."

"Don't send the assassin to the Shifu Mansion, if that place doesn't rest, you won't go to be on duty, right?"

"That ......"

"I think your mansion is very good, why don't you rent it to this official for a period of time, and then move it over after the Assassin's Mansion is repaired?" Zhao Yuan said directly.

"This ......"

"What's the matter, it's inconvenient to drive Luo Beijia?"

"It is an honor for the lower officials to be able to look at the ugly mansion of the lower officials, but the families of the lower officials live here, and the naughty children and clumsy women at home will inevitably affect the work of the adults, so ......"

"Since it's inconvenient, then forget it, the official has taken the official seal, and he will go to the homes of several other Meizhou officials to see which one can have land lease to the official for a period of time, so that he will first go to the military home of the division and military officer, go and see, and by the way, ask about the wrong date of the official's arrival."

"In this way, Luo Bei will lead the way with you, this official has just arrived, and for a while, I really can't find where the 'ugly' house of a few Meizhou officials is."

"The subordinate obeys."

Luo Andong patted his violently beating heart, this Lord Thorn Shi really has a lot of appetite, and he wants a house as soon as he comes, so it seems that he has to prepare more money.
