Chapter 222 Occupy Five More States
Chapter 222: Occupy Five More States
The governors of these five states suddenly expressed their willingness to be loyal to him Shi Bin, which really made Shi Bin not so willing to believe that this was true. According to his understanding, although these five Zhizhou are not very powerful, the different factions and 'allegiance' are probably fake, and they all have a common enemy at this time. If it is a rush, I believe that it is not impossible to really twist into a rope to deal with him, but it is not so easy, and it should not be all taken refuge in like this.
Such a defection, even if it is only in name, will make the original faction to which it belongs very angry, and it is taboo to change the court so easily.
So Shi Bin thought that there must be something in this that he didn't know, or something he hadn't paid attention to, in order to deal with this problem correctly, Shi Bin planned to think about it calmly.
But he didn't want to consult with Wang San or Li Chao about everything, so it seemed that he relied too much on them, and it was easy for the two of them to become arrogant. His prestige will be greatly reduced, and it will be very detrimental to development, so he simply sent Xu Feng to Sai Zilong to transfer all the information of these five state officials to him.
Xu Feng has always been quick to do things, and it didn't take long for a stack of documents to be delivered.
Originally, I didn't like to read these traditional Chinese characters, but now it is related to the stay of the five state capitals, which is a big deal. Even if you don't want to see it anymore, you have to watch it, because even if you only have the nominal support of a few state capitals, it's good.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with it, the evaluations are all middle and upper-middle, just to keep their official positions, and the financial contributions are paid on time, that is, there are occasional uprisings of the people in the territory, but this is already the norm, it is nothing.
After thinking about it for a quarter of an hour and not coming up with anything, Shi Bin was a little irritable, feeling that his butt hurt when he sat down, so he simply stood up and walked along the bookcase in the study. Maybe it was because I was calming down when I looked at the books, so I didn't bother to think about the headache anymore, so I simply pulled out the books from the bookcase and read them.
Of course, I don't really have the heart to read books, but I just appreciate and appreciate the beauty of this heritage, and suddenly an unpleasant thing comes into view: a book is a bookworm.
Just looking at Shu Shibin, who was bitten beyond recognition by a bookworm, was very unhappy, and he didn't want to touch it again. Good book? Bookworm's book?
Faintly thought of something, stood there stunned for a long time, and stared at the book that was bitten by a bookworm for a long time, Shi Bin's face finally showed joy.
I see, I see! Shi Bin was secretly happy in his heart, it seemed that even if they were the henchmen of a certain faction, they were not mixed well, and they were relegated to these very underdeveloped places to work hard.
They are not loyal people in the first place, a group of maggots who only know how to absorb the fat of the people, how can they be loyal to the old party when they are excluded? And Shi Bin has his back to the big tree, of course, he is the most suitable new master for them.
After figuring out this, Shi Bin has no scruples, these small fish and shrimp are transferred to the court, and their masters will not be too careful, so it should not be too much of a problem to accept these people as dog legs.
But there's another thing: these rice buckets are not worth receiving under your command, and good apples and rotten apples can be left together for too long.
Harvest? Or don't take it? Or is there any other compromise? It's a bit tasteless and a pity to throw away.
Just as he was about to think about this question again, Jia Ling's sneer came from his ears, "My Lord Shi, I heard that the commanders of the Yuezhou, Shaozhou, Quanzhou, Yongzhou, and Guiyang armies came to Xingshi today to ask questions and were surrendered by you, it stands to reason that now you should be drinking tea or reviewing official documents with a happy face, how can you be in a daze here with a book?" β
Good men don't fight with women, Shi Bin said secretly, it just so happened that this female Zhuge came and could ask her for advice.
"Isn't this because the husband is still young in knowledge and must make up for it as soon as possible? It just so happened that Xiaoling was here, so I thought of a way to see how to solve this problem. β
"What's the problem?"
"What else can the problem be, it is naturally how to absorb these guys, Bi
It's a lot of money. Yuezhou is not bad, which is what I want to absorb the most, and the rest of the states don't think so. But just accepting this, I feel that there is always something wrong, and I can't say anything wrong. The only thing that doesn't feel good is that they're too sloppy and degenerate, but as long as we send our people to oversee it, it shouldn't be a problem. Shi Bin said uneasily.
Jia Ling was originally joking, and then congratulated Shi Bin on expanding his power again. You must know that Shi Bin is her husband, the stronger her husband's power, the greater her face will naturally be, and the more stable the Jia family's status will be.
But she didn't think about whether to absorb it, the question of whether it was worth absorbing or not, in her opinion, it would be good to absorb it and then kick it out if she didn't know what to do.
She was very puzzled by this, Jia Ling's biggest advantage was that she didn't know how to pretend to understand, so she immediately asked: "Why is the husband so nervous, and what does it mean to absorb it?" Could it be that you still don't really want to accept their allegiance? As you said, if you are afraid that something will happen to them, it is good to send a few trustworthy men to supervise them, and you don't have to be official, but your loyal soldiers will follow you back as guards. β
"But people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, everyone's pursuit is different, there are indispensable people who forget their righteousness, maybe they will be bought by them after going to their lair, and they will deceive me and get benefits from me together with those guys, and when the time comes, my husband and I will be sold and help them count the money." Shi Bin said worriedly.
This time it was Jia Ling's turn to laugh, and snorted very rampantly: "They dare to lie to you? Aren't you afraid of dying? Don't know who my father is? Don't you know that you kill people like hemp, don't you know that killing them is as easy as killing a chicken? β
"Of course they know this, but they can still switch to the court, such as going to Zheng Qingzhi or Ding Daquan's door. For those who have just invested, these bigwigs will still try their best to maintain it. Shi Bin said helplessly, "Even if I don't maintain it later, I don't have so much leisure to think about how to retaliate against them as a husband." What's more, this state official doesn't say that he can kill it, once he is stabbed out by someone with a heart, it is a big crime. Your father and I will be hit hard and won't be better. β
Since the method of absorbing first and then screening did not work, Jia Ling had no choice, so she had to comfort Shi Bin and ask him not to be impatient. knew that Shi Bin didn't want to rely on Wang San and Li Chao for everything, so Jia Ling didn't ask Wang San to come over, but just sat aside to accompany him.
seems to have entered a dead end, the more I think about it, the more confused I become, although Qian Zhizhou is mediocre but quite straightforward, it should still be able to be used after a little sharpening; Although Yuezhou is good, Zheng Zhizhou is too cunning to use it at all, and Shi Bin doesn't dare to use such a thing; The rest just fell with the wind.
Could it be that another strong man broke his wrist and kicked out a few unreliable ones from the beginning, leaving only mediocre officials like Qian Zhizhou to be absorbed into his own forces for trial and trial?
Although Shi Bin has a bit of a fortune boy, he doesn't really treat money as nothing, let alone such a large piece of territory? Even if the land is deserted. After all, he was only a mountain hunter, and he was not so rampant as to casually discard a possible territory.
After drinking five pots of tea and going to the toilet twice, he still didn't come up with a reliable solution, which made Shi Bin very painful, and he felt that he would become a bucket.
As he continued to drink the sixth pot of tea, a howl came from afar: "Uncle! Brother-in-law! I heard that you asked for information on the five states of Yue, Shao, Quan, Yong, and Guiyang, what is the matter? β
Don't think about it, this is Sai Zilong coming, and the entire Shi Bin family dares to be so rude, even Zhao Gang's tendon doesn't dare to do this.
Looking up at Sai Zilong, who was running quickly in front of him, Shi Bin said helplessly, "It's nothing, the governors of these state capitals want to take refuge in me, but they are too bad, I don't know what to do." β
As expected, Sai Zilong's words are almost exactly the same as Jia Ling's, they are all absorbed first and then screened, but this spy leader not only advocates arranging a person to supervise, but also advocates sending a few secret sentinels to be responsible for supervision, which can be regarded as an additional insurance.
Although it is said that it is a change of soup and not a change of medicine, it is indeed more secure, and Shi Bin also wants to do it in this way.
Seeing that although Shi Bin was inclined to his own methods, he was still undecided, and the spy leader came up with the most thorough method: to take the families of these five state officials to Dingzhou to take care of.
Well, in the end, it is a spy, although it is to take care, but in fact, it is to take their families as hostages, which is enough damage.
"No, you can't!" As soon as Sai Zilong's words fell, Jia Ling immediately refuted loudly: "Absolutely not!" How can a husband who stands in a virtuous name do such a despicable thing? β
This can wake up Shi Bin, who wanted to consider Sai Zilong's method, indeed, it is too immoral to take the other party's family members hostage. It's normal to spy on subordinates, but taking hostages can alienate subordinates from them, even if they're fake defectors.
So what to do? Afraid that the people who were being monitored would be bribed, and taking hostages would do more harm than good, which made Shi Bin feel helpless.
"Uncle, people have always sought advantages and avoided disadvantages, if we let him see the benefits of following you instead of simply complaining, being afraid and being anxious, will it be more certain to control these five states?"
Shi Bin naturally understands these truths, it was he who robbed other people's resources before he started to develop, and now that the development is not completed, is it difficult to do a good job and retreat? Isn't it for nothing that you have offended people?
Fortunately, although Sai Zilong is the head of the spies, he is a straightforward person, and he is not hypocritical, and said: "These of them who are officials are nothing more than officials for two things, one is money and the other is an official position. Now that the uncle has taken away their money, how about compensating for it from this official position? β
Compensation for official positions? This can make Shi Bin incomprehensible, he is only one level higher than the governor and the prefect, how can he be compensated in his official position, is it a fantasy?
"Uncle, you're thinking about it." Sai Zilong said with a smile, "The compensation for the official position does not necessarily mean to directly help him be promoted, but also to help them pass the evaluation or improve the level of the evaluation!" After the evaluation, it will naturally be promoted, right? β
I finally understood what Sai Zilong meant: to exchange several years of excellent evaluation for their real support. And with excellent evaluations, promotions can be much faster than ordinary officials, and if they add some filial piety to themselves, they will be promoted even faster. Therefore, Saizilong's method is a good idea.
Shi Bin immediately decided to adopt this method, and ordered Xu Feng to bring several Zhizhou to the study.
Cowering and following Xu Feng into the study of the gods, Qian Zhizhou and Zheng Zhizhou were slightly more normal, and the other three were all sallow, looking terminally ill.
Not interested in chatting with these people, Shi Bin said straight to the point: "This official has decided to accept your investment, but I need to talk about some things first." β
"Of course, of course, it's a must." Zheng Zhenjin nodded like a pug and said.
"It's very simple, the official knows that you have suffered a loss, and he is not happy, and I am just a clichΓ© when he says that he will serve..."
Shi Bin was interrupted by Zheng Zhenjin before he finished speaking, "Where will it be unhappy?" It's cool, it's cool, we're all cool..."
glared at Zheng Zhenjin fiercely, and finally made the old dog shut his mouth.
"Thousands of miles of officials are only for money, and now that you have no money, the officials are a little guilty, and they have just come up with a way to make up for your losses." After taking a sip of tea, he continued: "Last time, the official had some trouble in the evaluation, and he knew the importance of the evaluation. I looked at your evaluation again, and found that your evaluation was not good, at most you were in the middle and upper ranks, and you could only keep your current official position. If you can support me in building Jinghu South Road, I can try to help you in the evaluation. β
Can you help with the assessment? This can make five scraps of wood ecstatic. You must know that the Song Dynasty is corrupt now, but the competition is very fierce, and it is completely exhaustive, and with a good evaluation, it is naturally easier to be promoted, and the cost is much less than directly seeking an official. At this time, several people looked at Shi Bin as if they were looking at their parents.
Because this is just a temporary sacrifice of some money and offending a few landlords and wealthy businessmen, but in exchange for promotion, a typical small investment and big return.
Naturally, no one will miss such a good opportunity, and all five of them expressed their full support for Shi Bin's governance of Jinghu South Road.
In order to prevent a few people from violating the law, Shi Bin still sent guards to 'protect' them, as well as secret sentinels to monitor them. (https:)
