Chapter 54: The Land of Roots
killed Yang Jingshu, but also solved a matter of Pei Min's heart.
Back at the Dadu Governor's Mansion, Pei Min directly found Hu Lao, the steward of the Dadu Governor's Mansion.
"What are your plans for the future? If you don't dislike it, continue to stay in the Governor's Mansion, I am a newcomer, and you will always help take care of the housework, which is no better thing. ”
The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was not Xue Ne's private residence, but belonged to the public family.
Repairs and improvements can be applied to the imperial court to pay, the new governor takes office, and everything in the old governor naturally has to move out of the governor's mansion, of course, including servants or something.
Pei Min doesn't have this concern here, and the person Xue Ne can trust, he can naturally trust.
Instead of re-recruiting people, it is better to leave behind the old man who Xue Ne has used for many years.
Reliable, credible and very practical, Ning Ze, the steward of Chang'an Pei's Mansion, was introduced by Xue Ne, and has been helping him take care of Chang'an's mansion. So far, everything has been handled properly, there have been no mistakes, and I have won my trust.
Compared with Longyou Shanzhou, this Liangzhou Guzang is the best foundation in Pei Min's heart!
Liangzhou is the center of cultural exchanges between the East and the West, and Guzang is the third economic town in Datang after Chang'an and Luoyang.
To the west of Liangzhou, it is the vast Western Regions, the frontier where men gallop, and to the east through Longyou is Guanzhong, the core of the Tang Dynasty.
Sitting in Liangzhou, it can gallop to the west when it goes out to the west, and it can protect the important places in Gyeonggi when it goes east.
To this day, Pei Min will not allow the Anshi Rebellion to happen, but if, it is a hypothetical. History is really irreversible, and he can also raise troops to march eastward, and go straight to Guanzhong along the Wusheling Mountain Road and Longshan Ancient Road he pioneered......
In Longyou Shanzhou, there is no such advantage......
On the one hand, Shanzhou is "too poor", and Liangzhou is not comparable, and the future of development is not great.
And Liangzhou Guzang, as long as it is reasonably planned and developed, it is possible to surpass Luoyang.
As for Chang'an, that one is not to be compared.
The difference is too great!
This is also the reason why Pei Min is willing to give up the foundation of Longyou to come to Hexi, because there is Liangzhou and Guzang in Hexi. Compared with Hexi, the pattern of Longyou is a little smaller.
If there are no special circumstances, Pei Min plans to stay in Liangzhou and not leave. It's definitely not like Longyou, it belongs to the nature of playing tickets.
Gu Zang's Dadu Governor's Mansion will be his home in the future, and Hu Lao, such a capable steward, is hard to find, Pei Min invited him with great sincerity.
Hu Lao said with a little embarrassment: "This, the old man also sent a message to the eldest son of Jiangzhou two days ago, saying that he would go back to his hometown to care for the elderly. ”
"Where is Old Hu!" Pei Min invited again: "I think you can work for at least ten years, I really miss your children and grandchildren, so I will take them over." Liangzhou has a very good development momentum, and it can be exposed to different cultures of the East and the West, which helps to broaden the horizons and is more conducive to the future development of children. Stuck in one place, there is no future. Look to the future and look into the distance. ”
Hu Lao has followed Xue Ne for many years, and most of the people he has come into contact with are upper-class people, and he has extraordinary vision, knowing that Pei Min is not a simple fool.
The development momentum of Liangzhou is clearly visible.
Although Jiangzhou is not small, his own pattern is there, no specialties and no characteristics, neither poor nor rich, stable development, will not be hungry, can ensure that food and clothing are worry-free, but lack of opportunities.
Hu Lao has been like this all his life, and he also wants to seek benefits for his children and grandchildren, so he said calmly: "Since the prince is so important, the old man will stay." ”
"Great!" Pei Min said happily: "Go back and talk to the people in the house, those who are willing to stay will be treated according to the original treatment, and if they do a good job, there will be additional rewards at the end of the year." I know that many people in the house have left, and Hu Lao can recruit some new people as needed. Note that reliability is the most important, and it is best to be a local poor family with a clean net worth. Not only can you use it with confidence, but you can also make a little effort. ”
"If you are old and saved, you can do it!" Hu Lao was shrewd and capable, and went with great interest.
Pei Min walked to the inner room and wanted to play with Xiao Qi Xiaoba, but saw that Jiao Chen was seriously teaching Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba to read.
As he gets older, he gradually knows some of the things he wants.
is not a headless crazy trick, but follows Jiao Chen to learn literacy.
Jiao Chen was the first Lingling in Chang'an, and the so-called famous Ling, that is, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, all proficient existence.
Compared with Pei Min, it is only a slight advantage in chess books, and the piano, painting and song are incomplete.
Poetry is ashamed of itself, but Pei Min knows his own ability, and poetry is his real weakness.
With Jiao Chen's knowledge, it is more than enough to guide the little seven and eight.
Seeing Jiao Chenjiao's seriousness, Pei Min didn't bother and went directly to the study.
The furnishings of the study were somewhat familiar, and Pei Min suddenly remembered that the place where he first met Xue Ne was the study of the Governor's Mansion, but it was almost ten years ago in Youzhou.
The places are different, but the furnishings are very similar.
sighed for a moment and found a book from the bookshelf to pass the time.
About an hour later, news came from outside the house that Wang Xiaobai asked to see him.
Pei Min did not shy away from inviting him to the study, looked at him in the dust, and said with a smile: "It's been hard all the way!" ”
After learning that Li Longji had agreed to his request, Pei Min also launched an action here.
Strike first, these five words can be used anywhere.
Pei Min immediately asked Wang Xiaobai to go to the six prefectures except Liangzhou to inquire about the local security situation, especially the situation of horse thieves.
Wang Xiaobai has already married a family, becoming more and more stable, with two moustaches, the lower plate is as stable as a rock, and he has the demeanor of a master, but for Pei Min, he has always maintained his respect, and said with his chin bowed: "It's just running errands, my strength, why work hard." ”
"Come and sit down and tell me about the situation in the six prefectures of Gansu, Su, Gua, Sha, Yi and Xi!"
Pei Min asked Wang Xiaobai to sit down, and asked his subordinates to bring tea, and listened carefully.
Wang Xiaobai said: "The trouble of horse thieves and bandits, Suzhou and Shazhou do the best, the first thing to say about the subordinates is this Suzhou governor, Suzhou Governor Cui Xiyi is particularly famous in Suzhou, he was originally a literati, persuading agricultural judges, and later as a supervisor of the imperial history, he was arranged to Suzhou to inspect the political achievements of local officials. Coincidentally, bandits were rampant in the territory, and they had the audacity to kidnap the family of Su Xiangyu, the governor at the time, and coerce him to obey orders. Cui Xiyi was bold and resolute, he directly dismissed Su Xiangyu as the governor, dispatched troops, and annihilated the daring thieves. Because of this incident, Cui Xiyi was transferred to Suzhou and became the governor of Suzhou within a few years. Under his command, there were few bandits in Suzhou...... Deeply loved by the local people. ”
When Pei Min heard this, he hurriedly recorded the name "Cui Xiyi" in his heart.
"The governor of Shazhou, Geng Hou, this person's official style is not very good, some are fierce and lustful, strong in martial arts, often linger in the fireworks and wine alleys, and from time to time there will be rumors of jealousy and fighting, but Xu is famous for being a murderer, and there is no bandit in the territory......"
Wang Xiaobai told Pei Min one by one the comments of the six major governors of Hexi that he had found out from the mouths of the people.
