After receiving the reward, Zeng Yu did not stay in the capital for a long time. On the morning of the third day after entering the court, Zeng Yu did not inform Yuan Shao and others, and left the capital under the escort of his own soldiers and went to Shangdang County. After more than 20 days, Zeng Yu and his entourage finally returned to Anping County.

On the day he returned to the county seat, Zeng Yu summoned all the adjutants in the county to come to the county government to discuss the matter, which was also expected by everyone. informed everyone that he was appointed as the county guard of Shangdang County, and everyone was overjoyed and congratulated Zeng Yu together.

According to Zeng Yu's plan, although Shangdang County is located in Changzi County, he does not intend to abandon the basic plate of Anping County. First, this is the most important starting point in his mind, and secondly, whether it is the construction of the county seat or the reputation caused by the transaction tax before, Anping County is not comparable to other counties in Shangdang County.

After some careful consideration, Zeng Yu appointed Liu Neng as the county magistrate of Anping County, and Li Li served as the county magistrate. The position of county lieutenant, Zeng Yu was going to hand it over to Zhou Cang, Zhou Cang was the first to take refuge in him, Zeng Yu appointed him as the county lieutenant also wanted to be a return, but in the end Zhou Cang refused, he thought that one day he would be able to go north to drive thieves, so he was only willing to serve in the army, and was not willing to be burdened by this official position.

Zeng Yu was not reluctant to do this, and the county lieutenant was served by Zhao Hu of the Zhao family. Zhao Hu is a member of the top three families in Anping County, and he has always served as a warden, and he has been conscientious in his position, and as for making the Zhao family bigger because of this, Zeng Yu is not worried, he believes that Liu Neng will handle these well.

Yin Zhuo, like Gude, also wanted to follow Zeng Yu to Changzi County this time, and the position of master Bo was promoted by him and the Zhang family, so that a child of the Zhang family could take the position, which was just right to reach a balance with Zhao Hu.

In addition to these key officials, the main focus of Zeng Yu's small force should still be transferred to Changzi County, such as the smelting workshop that Zeng Yu had high hopes for, and under Zeng Yu's order, he began to pack up and go to Changzi County. He Yan, the lieutenant of Diannong appointed by Zeng Yu, also followed Zeng Yu to Changzi County this time, and Zeng Yu gave him the task of opening tuntian in all counties of Shangdang County, so that the local people could settle down faster.

When these people were promoted, they were naturally very happy to receive their orders and thanksgiving, and the others were not envious and congratulated them.

After everyone dispersed, Zeng Yu left Sun Hao behind, and the two came to the backyard and sat down in turn, Sun Hao asked: "Big brother, this time you directly appointed the county commander, will it have any impact?" ”

Sun Hao is also worried that Zeng Yushu will make a big move, although the majesty of the Han family has been greatly shaken by the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Son of Heaven is still the nominal ruler of the world. And Zeng Yu did not have a deep background, so he rashly appointed the county commanders of the counties of Shangdang County, giving outsiders the impression that it was completely their own territory, so Sun Hao asked.

"I knew you would ask, but Zijin don't worry, this time in the capital, I have already obtained the right to appoint these county orders, and I only need to report afterwards." Zeng Yu replied with a smile.

"It turns out that the eldest brother has been prepared for a long time, but I am too worried. By the way, a few days ago, Zhiyuan came to report that Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun defeated most of the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan, but they didn't expect that the huge Yellow Turbans would come to an end so soon. Sun Hao said.

"It's a bit incredible, but when you think about it, it's still being cleaned up." Zeng Yu looked at Sun Hao and said: "This time Zhang Jiao led the crowd to rebel, in the final analysis, it was the plan of those scholars, and Zhang Jiao was just a chess piece. Now that the effect of this chess piece in attacking the majesty of the Han family has been achieved, the only role of the Yellow Turban is estimated to be to provide them with the opportunity to grab military merits. It's just that I'm afraid they didn't expect that with this beginning, the people were not only disappointed in the Han family, but also for their scholars. ”

"Some of these scholars have been passed down since ancient times, and some have risen after the Guangwu Zhongxing Han Dynasty, they are deeply rooted and intertwined with each other. And they have the vast majority of the resources in this world, I know your ambitions, big brother, but I'm a little worried. Sun Hao said heavily.

"Are you worried that we won't be able to fight, or are you worried that we will end up becoming them?" Zeng Yu asked.

"When I first came down the mountain, I still had a lot of confidence in us, but the more I learned about these warriors, the more I could feel the terrifying power they controlled." Sun Hao did not answer directly, but directly said how he felt this year.

"The reason why the scholars are the scholars is because they have knowledge in their hands. I don't want to exterminate the scholars, but I hope that they can take on the corresponding responsibilities while holding the power, as for the rest, you don't have to worry for the time being, I have a plan in mind. Zeng Yu said.

In fact, Zeng Yu knew that except for Wang Qing and others who had been in the army, the other people in Qianlong Village were a little worried about the next road, he knew this, but he didn't say it. Because he hopes that his brothers can withstand this pressure, and if they can resist this pressure in their hearts and persevere, their achievements will be even greater.

Of course, there is no solution to this matter, as long as ordinary people can be given the opportunity to be educated, the poor will have a chance to get ahead. Zeng Yu has a solution in his memory, but the time is not ripe now, and the important thing for him now is to secretly accumulate power and develop slowly.

The two chatted until the evening, mainly because Zeng Yu made a confession to Sun Hao about some of his ideas, and Sun Hao also had a clear understanding of the future after listening. Although Sun Hao is also good at strategy and knowledgeable, compared with Guo Jia, he is slightly inferior to the other party in terms of understanding the general trend of the world, which is also because Guo Jia is in Yingchuan and studied at Yingchuan College, and his friends are all people who focus on the world.

stayed in Anping County for three days, during which the various families in Anping County learned that Zeng Yu was promoted to the county guard, and the heads of the families came to visit. Although because of Zeng Yu's arrival, the fields and household registration hidden by these families were recovered by Zeng Yu by various means, Zeng Yu also gave them a certain amount of compensation through the Chamber of Commerce. In addition, Zeng Yu led his troops to drive away thieves this time, and was promoted to the county guard after the triumph, which made them see Zeng Yu's potential, and Zeng Yu's appointment of Zhao Hu and others this time can be regarded as making these large and small families completely return to their hearts, and they are all determined to follow him. did not live up to their kindness, Zeng Yu held a dinner party in the county government, in addition to inviting the adjutants of the county government, but also invited some family heads, which is not only a celebration, but also his own farewell.

Three days later, under the leadership of the new county commander Liu Neng, everyone kept sending Zeng Yu out of the county seat. After bidding farewell to everyone, Zeng Yu and the others who followed him to Changzi County slowly walked towards Changzi County under the escort of five hundred personal soldiers.
