When he arrived at Cheng's house, Tang Zheng said hello to Grandpa Cheng and Cheng Pu respectively. Grandpa Cheng said to Tang Zheng while beckoning the servants to serve the food: "Let's talk while eating." After a while, a table full of dishes was served, and then Grandpa Cheng, who was sitting in the first place, said: "Boy, I heard that you have been promoted and are now the captain of Nongdu." By the way, what does this official do? ”

"Grandpa, the lieutenant is in charge of the soldiers and horses of a county, and now there is no Taishou in Beiping, so the imperial court has appointed a virtuous brother, a captain of the agricultural capital, who is responsible for the soldiers, horses and nongsang." Cheng Pu explained.

"This means that after the entire Right Beiping, Tang Xiaozi will have the final say?"

"You can't say that, grandpa, there is still a Taishou in name, I, the captain of the agricultural capital, are only responsible for agricultural affairs and military affairs, as for other things in Youbeiping, I will talk about it when the imperial court sends someone to come." Tang Zheng said.

"Now Youbeiping is not too guarded, and it's not up to you to have the final say." Tang Zheng shook his head with a wry smile, the old man has always hoped that Cheng Pu can get ahead, and now his own grandson is still a county lieutenant in name, but who doesn't know that Xu County's order has long been hollowed out, and it is not his grandson who is in charge.

The righteousness of his grandson is even more incredible, and now he is in charge of the entire Youbeiping. Grandpa Cheng felt that his support for Tang Zheng at the beginning was worth it, and the prosperity of the Cheng family was just around the corner in the future.

"By the way, Brother Xian, how are you going to arrange the Xu County Order." Cheng Pu asked.

"Let's see, if he knows each other, we can't do anything to him, if he has any careful thoughts, then don't blame us. Now the most important thing for us is to control the entire Youbeiping into an iron plate, and now the Yellow Turban thieves seem to have been destroyed, but that is only because Zhang Jiao died and lacked a leader, and most of the remnants of the Yellow Turban have not been eliminated, and now they are just lurking. If the imperial court still does nothing to fight each other like this, I am afraid that the remnants of the Yellow Turban will take advantage of the situation. Now all we can do is to work hard to strengthen ourselves. Tang Zheng said.

"You won't say it, the Holy Lord will definitely reorganize the dynasty after this rebellion." Grandpa Cheng said.

"Grandpa, look at it, the current emperor no longer has the ambition he had when he first ascended the throne, and now he only cares about his own pleasure. The Han dynasty is already crumbling, and careerists all over the world are waiting for the moment when Great Xia falls, such as Gongsun Zhan, who I met in Xu Wu, is a man who looks at the wolf and looks at the wolf. ”

"Aren't you still calling him a brother, why do you think this person is not simple now." Cheng Pu said to Tang Zheng with a smile.

"Big brother, you can't say that, our strength is still very weak now, we can't just be blindly tough, sometimes the appropriate song will meet you will receive unexpected results. I know what Gongsun Chan is beating, he just wants to win us over. ”

"Demou, whether you are dealing with government affairs or leading troops to fight, you are not bad at getting along with people, you are too far behind Tang Boy, you have to listen to him more."

"Yes, grandpa, I know."

"Okay, grandpa, big brother, let's eat. Yingying is almost finished. Tang Zheng looked at Cheng Ying and said with a smile.

"Hmph, who told you to just talk, I'll finish all the meals and see what you eat." Cheng Ying said.

The three of them didn't say anything anymore and began to eat. After a meal, Tang Zheng hadn't eaten so much for a long time, although the food in the army was also full, but think about how exquisite and delicious the food eaten by so many people can be.

After eating, Tang Zheng and Cheng Pu walked to the river together, both of them ate a little too much tonight, and they were going to eliminate their food.

"Big brother, I plan to go to Tuyin County tomorrow to meet with Xu County Commander to see what his attitude is, and now I am in charge of the agricultural and military affairs of Youbeiping, and there are many things to rearrange."

"It's time to rearrange, now Youbeiping is not too guarded, everything is up to you, we should install some of our own people as soon as possible to ensure that the four counties of Youbeiping are under our control."

"Well, I think so too, I am going to let Brother Wu go to Junmi to garrison, Zhao Yun let him go to the end, and Cheng Mo was left by me in Xu Wu, so that the military power of the four counties is firmly in our hands, and if the county orders do not cooperate, we will have a way to empty them."

"Well, that's for the best. Once the imperial court sends the Taishou down, we will have a way to deal with it. By the way, don't go to see Xu Xianling tomorrow, let me go and probe his tone first. ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for news from my eldest brother." The two talked as they walked, and after a while, there were more people on the road, and they would greet Tang Zheng and the others when they met.

Tang Zheng has been out for more than half a year this time, and it is now November 184, and a year is about to pass.

After this year, the Eastern Han Dynasty entered the era of melee warfare, although there was no major war, but small frictions continued.

The construction of Rinshan is also getting more and more perfect, and the population is increasing, all of them have fled to Rinshan by the disaster in their hometowns or by the influence of the Yellow Turban thieves, because of Tang Zheng's unexpected visitor, the whole Youbeiping was affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the beginning, and the back is not as serious as recorded in later history, and on the whole, Youbeiping is much better than other places.

The displaced people who fled were basically from Jizhou and Bingzhou, which were more seriously affected by the scourge of the Yellow Turbans.

Tang Zheng looked at the pedestrians coming and going, Cheng Pu arranged everything very well during Tang Zheng's absence, at least these people haven't heard of anyone starving to death or anything after they fled to Rinshan, these people also have a strong sense of belonging to Rinshan, and they all regard Rinshan as their other hometown, but with the increase in population, the land in Rinkan is no longer enough, Cheng Pu has arranged for people to open up the wasteland twice, and there are still many people who have no land.

Fortunately, now that the war has subsided, Right and Beiping are basically in Tang Zheng's hands. What we have to do now is to re-register these people, and when Tang Zheng finishes dealing with the problems of the four counties, he can arrange for the diversion of people to the four counties.

"Now Rinkan has a hint of the city's atmosphere, in the past, Rinkan gave people a ghostly feeling, big is big is small population, walking for half a day can not necessarily see a figure, now there are more people and not enough land." Cheng Pu looked at the pedestrians on the road and said.

"Brother, this is a good thing, now we just have to make up for their household registration, and when we finish dealing with the affairs of the four counties, we will arrange these people to go to the other four counties, which not only enriches the population of the four counties, but also allows these people to stay in Youbeiping. After I have dealt with the affairs of the four counties, I plan to harden all the main roads connecting the four counties, so that no matter which line is attacked, we can quickly send troops to support. Tang Zheng said with a smile.

"Well, the matter of household registration is already being done, and as for hardening the roads in the four counties, how much food will be wasted. We just need to station troops in the four counties, so we don't need to be so troublesome. ”

"Big brother, hardening the roads of the four counties can not only speed up the speed of our troops, but also increase the business and trade exchanges of the four counties, and the entire Youbeiping will become richer and richer, and more people will come to settle in Youbeiping, and we will have more soldiers. As for money and food, isn't there a lot of people who don't have land to receive relief food now, so why don't we practice cash-for-work like this, let them harden the roads and we distribute food, what do you think? ”

"Yes, good. It's a good idea, so it's done. Cheng Pu looked Tang Zheng up and down, he really didn't know how he had so many strange ideas in his head, and only he could think of cash-for-work.

It took half an hour to come out, so Tang Zheng proposed to Cheng Pu: "Okay, we have also slipped around and it's time to go back, there are still a lot of things waiting for us tomorrow." Cheng Pu didn't say anything, turned around and walked back with Tang Zheng.

The next day, Cheng Pu went to Tuyin County early in the morning, Tang Zheng did not go to the barracks, first went to various mines to take a look, and then went to the weapon workshop to discuss the next work with Xianhe, and the day passed like this.

In the evening, Cheng Pu came back from Tuyuan, and as soon as he got home, he called Tang Zheng to the study and told Tang Zheng about today's conversation with Xu Xianling.

Xu Xianling also showed that he was also very familiar and was willing to obey Tang Zheng's arrangement, and Tang Zheng would be the main person in the future. The matter is decided, Tang Zheng plans to meet Xu County Commander tomorrow, strictly speaking, he can have his current status and the promotion of Xu County Order, if it is not for Xu County Commander to appoint himself as the lieutenant of Tuyin County and have the right to lead troops in the name of righteousness, it may not be so easy for him to do this step, so Tang Zheng does not want to embarrass Xu County Order.
