Chapter 46: Seeing Xu Wei for the First Time

"Lord Xu, I take the liberty to come and disturb me today, I hope Lord Xu will forgive me." Tang Zheng and Cheng Pu came to Tuyuan early in the morning, and yesterday Cheng Pu also mentioned to Xu County Ling that Tang Zheng was going to visit today, and Xu Wei had been waiting in the county office's living room for a long time.

Xu County Commander Xu Wei Zi Yangming Qiao Guo Qian County people, Xiping five years that is, 176 years as Tuyin County Commander, these are all Cheng Pucai told Tang Zheng last night.

Tang Zheng said politely to Xu Wei.

"Captain Tang is polite, the lower official congratulates Captain Tang on his promotion, I didn't expect that we had such a great talent."

"Where did Lord Xu speak, if there was no promotion from Lord Xu, where would there be the current Tang Zheng."

"Hahaha, that's also Tang Duwei's own ability, even if I don't have Tang Duwei's ability, it's a matter of time before I get ahead with Tang Duwei's ability, don't stand and talk, everyone please take a seat." Xu Wei laughed and said, then invited Tang Zheng and Cheng Pu to take a seat, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to serve tea.

Xu Wei didn't have a good time this time, when he was first set up by Cheng Pu, he was still thinking about how to regain power from Cheng Pu, and then he heard that the Yellow Turban Thieves rebelled against Youzhou Assassin Shi Guo Xun and Taishou Liu Wei were killed, Xu Wei was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, but fortunately he was exterminated in time by Cheng Pu, the lieutenant of Tuyin County, and Tang Zheng.

Xu Wei just breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard the news that Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun and others led more than 200,000 troops to invade Youbeiping, Xu Wei was ready to abandon the city and flee this time, but then Cheng Pu's rapid return and the reinforcements sent by the imperial court made Xu Wei feel a little relieved.

I thought that Cheng Pu and Tang Zheng couldn't resist the siege of the 200,000 army, Xu Wei also wanted to get rid of Cheng Pu and Tang Zheng with the help of the enemy, but I didn't expect Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun to divide their troops to attack Rinshan and Xu Wu, and finally let Cheng Pu and Tang Zheng hold on with the 3,000 reinforcements of Jiancheng and Gongsun Zhan, and finally Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun returned in vain.

During this time, Xu Wei also thought a lot, knowing that the general trend had gone, he would either honestly obey Tang Zheng's arrangement, or go back to his hometown, maybe it would be a luxury to go home safely.

Yesterday, Cheng Pu came to talk to him, and from Cheng Pu's conversation, he understood what Tang Zheng meant, and he understood that his life was not in danger for the time being, as long as he obeyed Tang Zheng's arrangement, he was still the county order of Tuyin.

This made Xu Wei overjoyed, now he understands that the imperial court is declining, and careerists are planning for the future, even if he has the heart to serve the imperial court, he can't make much waves in Tuyuan, not to mention that the entire Youbeiping is Tang Zheng's final say, and he indirectly expressed his loyalty to Tang Zheng through Cheng Pu yesterday.

"I keep in mind Lord Xu's promotion, I heard the eldest brother say that some time ago someone did not obey Lord Xu's decree, Lord Xu rest assured that my eldest brother and I were busy quelling the rebellion during this time, and now that we are back, we will definitely give Lord Xu an explanation." Tang Zheng wanted to see whether Xu Wei was sincerely attached or pretended to be loyal and reassuring Xu Wei's heart by the way, so he casually mentioned that Xu Wei was set aside some time ago.

"Whatever Captain Nong Du said, let him pass the past, many of my decrees some time ago are indeed not in line with the current situation, and they should oppose it." Xu Wei waved his hand at Tang Zheng and said, Xu Wei knew that Tang Zheng was testing himself at this time, and he was also reassuring himself, as long as he showed a hint of accountability, he believed that Tang Zheng would definitely give him an explanation, so that he would not be trusted by Tang Zheng, and he would not be reused in Tang Zheng's camp in the future.

Therefore, it is better to be more generous to leave a good impression on Tang Zheng, since he has decided to serve Tang Zheng, he should not be in the morning and evening.

"Since Lord Xu doesn't plan to pursue it, then I won't do it." Tang Zheng said to Xu Wei with a smile, Tang Zheng didn't think that he could see a person's position just by one sentence, but now it seems that this Xu Wei is still more knowledgeable, and there is time for him to be loyal or not.

Tang Zheng and Xu Wei have been chatting about some ordinary matters, and Cheng Pu also interjected a sentence or two from time to time, and the whole chat atmosphere became more and more harmonious, and suddenly Tang Zheng changed the topic and said to Xu Wei: "I don't know what Lord Xu thinks about today." When Xu Wei heard Tang Zheng ask this, he knew that the main event was coming, and the nonsense he had been talking about for so long was finally getting to the point, so he cleared his throat and said to Tang Zheng and Cheng Pu: "Why do you need to ask me about this, presumably Nong Duwei and Cheng County Lieutenant themselves also understand very well, since Nong Duwei asked the subordinate like this, he still said his own opinion." Tang Zheng and Cheng Pu sat up straight, and Tang Zheng made a gesture to continue.

"The following is a shallow opinion of the lower officials, and if there is something missing, please don't be surprised by Captain Nongdu and Lieutenant Cheng County." Xu Wei said to Tang Zheng and Cheng Pu, took a sip of the teacup and continued: "Now I don't need to say that the two of you can see that the court is already declining, the emperor does not think about the suffering of the people and only cares about his own pleasure, and the princes in the court are rolling against each other. I heard that this time, in order to exterminate the Yellow Turban thieves, the emperor listened to the suggestions of the princes to lift the party ban, but I was afraid that the dumping would be more serious in the future, and now the emperor favored the eunuchs, and even said the words 'Zhang Changshi is my father, Zhao Changshi is my mother', Dahan Jiangshan saw that the building was about to fall, but the emperor and the princes of the court only cared about their own interests, regardless of the life and death of the people in the world. Now there are Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Xiongnu outside the court, and the Xiongnu often invade the border, and there is a Yellow Turban rebellion inside, and now the Yellow Turban seems to be exterminated, but it is actually just lurking, once there is a big change in the world, they will resurrect, and I am afraid that it will be the time to change the dynasty. After Xu Wei finished speaking, he looked at Tang Zheng and Cheng Pu, Cheng Pu looked at Xu Wei in surprise, his brother had already analyzed these words with him, but now he didn't expect Xu Wei to have such a vision and be able to analyze that the world is about to change.

"Hahaha, Lord Xu is high, I won't beat around the bush, I don't know what Lord Xu thinks about what I did in Rinshan." Tang Zheng asked Xu Wei with a smile, he was asking about land reform.

"Nongduwei's move is undoubtedly a precedent, but it is easy to implement the big households and young farmers in Rinshan, and the Cheng family also strongly supports Nongduwei, I guess Nongduwei probably wants to implement Rinshan's set in the entire Youbeiping." As soon as Tang Zheng spoke, Xu Wei knew Tang Zheng's thoughts, so he asked.

"Yes, I plan to implement the Juntian Law of Rinshan in the entire Youbeiping, and now those squires are not doing anything about production, and the whole is lying on the people to suck blood, so that the people are in danger and displaced everywhere."

"In this case, Captain Nongdu, have you ever thought about how many vested interests you will offend, their relationship is intertwined, and offending one person often involves a large group, so you will be targeted." Xu Wei was taken aback by Tang Zheng's thoughts, although the advantages of this move outweighed the disadvantages, why no one had ever done it, it was because it would offend too many people, and they were often attacked by the group before they could succeed.

"I know what Lord Xu said, but now the people in the world are struggling to make a living, and the big squires are living in a drunken state, if we don't take advantage of the impact of the Yellow Turban Rebellion now, many big squires will flee their homes to carry out land reform, and so on, and the situation will settle down and it will be more difficult to implement it." Tang Zheng understood Xu Wei's concerns, so he wanted to take advantage of the fact that many large squires were now affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion to take refuge in their homes to carry out land reform, and everything was already a foregone conclusion when these big squires returned.

"Could it be that Captain Nongdu already has some plans?" Xu Wei asked curiously.

"Yes, now in the whole right Beiping, only the earth is less affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there is no situation of leaving home to take refuge, like Junmi, Wuzhong, Xu Wuxian can escape from the three counties basically fled, there will not be much difficulty, Wuyuan is even the county order to abandon the city and flee, so these three counties to implement land reform resistance is small, only the soil is less affected by the war, I am afraid that the rash implementation of land reform resistance is too great, so I want to ask Lord Xu to come forward, after all, Lord Xu has been an official in Tuyuan for many years, and he knows more about the situation of Tuyuan." After Tang Zheng finished speaking, he looked at Xu Wei, Xu Wei opened his mouth wide, he was still worried about Tang Zheng before, but now he has a good feeling, Tang Zheng is waiting for him to enter the set.

Xu Wei smiled helplessly, but he didn't expect to be pecked by the geese all day long. This may be the letter of nomination given by Tang Zheng to himself, if you want to stand in line, you must give Tang Zheng a satisfactory answer.

Xu Wei had no choice but to say helplessly: "Since Captain Nong Du has already said this, then I will give it a try reluctantly." ”

"Then I will thank Lord Xu first, and Lord Xu doesn't have to worry about any difficulties, just say it. I will arrange for the eldest brother to be Lord Xu's deputy to assist Lord Xu in the land reform work. Next, the three of them discussed how to implement it, and when Tang Zheng and Cheng Pu said goodbye to Xu Wei and came out of the county office, the sun was about to set, Tang Zheng said to Zhang Chao who was waiting outside: "Go back, you first arrange for someone to go to Wuzhong overnight to invite Tian Chou to Rinshan and say that there is something important to arrange, by the way, by the way, I also called Xu Wu's Jiang Chen and Jun Mi's Jiang Chen together." Zhang Chao nodded and wrote it down, and the three of them rode on their horses and headed towards Rinshan together.
