Chapter 133 Arrangements for Everything
Chapter 133: Arrangements
Shi Bin and his wife stayed in Jiafu for a day, had two meals with Jia Rudao, and left Ezhou on the afternoon of the second day.
As soon as he came out of Ezhou City, Shi Bin immediately felt that the world was vast, the air was fresh, his muscles and bones were comfortable, and he was no longer like a frightened bird.
Jia Ling on the side seems to be even more so, she is no longer the crazy girl, marrying a wife naturally understands the stakes, and now she is naturally very comfortable to get out of that cage.
Although the road in front of him is rugged, it can move forward, although there is dust but not muddy, which makes Shi Bin look farther away, a piece of green, which makes people feel refreshed.
Such a scene naturally reminded Shi Bin of the current situation, although it is difficult to walk, he can move forward, and this road is getting wider and wider, which makes his heart even more agitated.
Regardless of anything else, Shi Bin, who was stimulated, suddenly came to gallop on his horse, and ran away on his good horse without noticing others, leaving Jia Ling and his gang there in a daze.
People will have a competitive mentality, no matter why Shi Bin ran like this, Jia Ling, the aggressive eldest lady, didn't care so much, she came back to her senses and rushed out, followed by Wang San and the guards.
This time, Shi Bin was also willful, no matter how much, he never stopped on the official road. Even when a carriage or a postman came from the front, he rode by, like a victorious general.
Jia Ling and the others who followed behind slowly understood Shi Bin's thoughts, which can be regarded as a kind of venting, a kind of venting after victory.
Everything is so simple, this time his behavior made everyone see a new Shi Bin again, and it seems that he is becoming more and more confident and arrogant.
If he had been so good in the past, he would have been reluctant to run so desperately, and he would definitely ride very gently, but today he is a bit of a taste of the world.
After running for nearly ten miles in one breath, Shi Bin stopped, although his bones were about to fall apart, he was still very happy.
After dismounting and resting, he pretended to be a hero, sat by the tree, put his feet up, held a dog's tail grass in his mouth, and held his waist knife aside.
If it weren't for the fact that he slept too soundly and fell to the ground, Jia Ling and his party who caught up almost passed by him, after all, Shi Bin had never had such a style, and at first glance he thought he was a down-and-out swordsman.
At such a happy moment, naturally no one will come out to be disappointed, of course, they are all good words, and with a slight sneer, Shi Bin seems to have some dreams and potential to be a chivalrous man.
For these, of course, Shi Bin also admitted it calmly, saying that if the anti-Yuan was successful, if he didn't want to divide the city, he would take Jia Ling to the end of the world.
Of course, I know that this is Shi Bin talking nonsense, where is there a country that has been worked hard to lose it? But be a joke to soothe and relieve long-term stress.
Unknowingly, Tanzhou was approaching again, and of course a few people went to Xiangtan County first, where there were a lot of things waiting to be arranged.
The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, as if I was afraid that someone had taken away his hard-won position in Tanzhou before, this time I was also riding a horse and galloping, but I was obviously in a hurry to deal with things.
Entering Xiangtan County is like being in a hurry to reincarnate, without stopping at all, if it is not for the fact that this is the new Tanzhou general judge with great reputation, the city gate guard will definitely pick it off.
After entering the county office, he turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to the guards, ran to the county office, beat the drums, gathered the officials everywhere, and ordered them to recall the several commanders sent to various places to Xiangtan City as quickly as possible.
Under Shi Bin's all-military governance, even the sloppy third-class officials also became vigorous and resolute, and immediately turned around after receiving the order.
Soon, several of Shi Bin's brothers were all here.
Seeing Shi Bin's red face, everyone present knew that the matter had been successfully completed. It seems that not only did he win the Tanzhou General Judgment, maybe even the Xiangtan County Order was saved.
Before he could speak, Shi Bin burst into tears again, what is going on? Did you agree to any humiliating conditions? What forced Shi Bin to do something he didn't want to do?
Knowing that the longer he dragged on like this, the worse it would be, Shi Bin immediately regained his smile and said loudly: "Brothers, our affairs are all done!" And there's a better result! β
Better results? This can make everyone in the chamber admire, including Liu Xiancheng very much.
It is great to be able to get the general judgment of Tanzhou from Zheng Qing, and he actually kept the Xiangtan County Order.
According to Shi Bin's statement, it seems that there is more than that? The result is unbelievable.
However, the reaction of everyone in the hall made Liu Xiancheng a little embarrassed, as soon as these cloth-clothed bandits heard the news, they all slapped the teacup and the table, some smashed the teacup and laughed, and some broke the table and didn't care, Zhao Gang was even worse, ran to Shi Bin's side and hugged him.
Of course, the excitement was only temporary, and after regaining his composure after a while, Zhao Gang left Shi Bin very embarrassedly, scratching his head unconsciously.
Shi Bin smiled indifferently, after all, his brother has always been like this, and it is estimated that he will not be able to change it in this life.
"Brothers, this good thing is not a specific official position, but that our relationship with Liu Zhizhou has improved, at least we will no longer have bad relations." Shi Bin said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the audience was a little awkward, and Li Chao and Liu Xiao were even more unkind, Shi Bin immediately explained: "The feelings of Li Chao and Liu Xiao are naturally understood, so I plan to leave you in Xiangtan to continue to be in charge here." The reason why this is better is because my father-in-law, Master Jia, has some ideas with that Liu Zhizhou, and it is estimated that it will not be long before Liu Zhizhou will be transferred to a better state capital, and the eldest brother will control the entire Tanzhou. β
It turns out that this is the case, this news is really good, in order to soon the entire Tanzhou is in everyone's hands, it is okay to temporarily befriend that bastard Liu Zhizhou, and it will be a big deal to settle the ledger in the future.
"Big brother, I'm sorry, little brother is not open-minded, I'm sorry." As soon as Shi Bin's words fell, Li Chao got up and apologized.
Seeing Li Chao get up, Liu Xiao also apologized.
These reactions are normal, and Shi Bin naturally won't mind. What's more, if you can't stand even this, how can you still do big things?
Shi Bin naturally smiled and said: "The two virtuous brothers have a common enmity with the one surnamed Liu, and they swallow their anger for the eldest brother, and they are already ashamed of their brother, how can they accept your apology again?" If you really want to apologize, wait for the eldest brother to finish his words next time. β
Of course, this is how it should be, and the two immediately expressed their acceptance of Shi Bin's admonition after hearing this.
"After I go to Tanzhou, Li Chao will lead the land and water armies of Xiangtan, Liu Xiao will be the deputy, and the rest will remain unchanged. Li Chao can act cheaply about specific things, but he needs to report it once every half a month, allocate more than 1,000 taels, and report to me if he moves more than one of them. Shi Bin said very seriously.
Hearing this, Li Chao and Liu Xiao were very happy, especially Li Chao, he thought that he wanted him to supervise the training of soldiers and horses and the construction of infrastructure, that is, he was a leader and foreman, but he did not expect that there was also military power and financial power, which reflected Shi Bin's absolute trust in him.
Everyone in the hall was also happy for Li Chao, and at the same time envious of him. However, everyone was convinced by this arrangement.
After all, Wang San, the great think-tank Shi Bin, must be brought to Tanzhou, and Li Chao, who is both civil and military, and brave and strategic, should of course stay to lead Xiangtan affairs.
Just as Shi Bin was about to leave, Li Chao got up again and said, "Big brother, did you miss something that was not arranged, or was it not arranged properly?" β
Shi Bin, his own two hundred escorts, thinks that it is enough, and there are trusted brothers everywhere else to be in charge, so what's wrong?
Seeing that Shi Bin didn't expect it, and knowing that he was anxious to go to Tanzhou, Li Chao said: "Big brother, how to deal with Sai Zilong's intelligence department?" β
Fortunately, Li Chao reminded him, otherwise there would have been a mistake. Without saying much, he asked, "What do you brothers?" β
Intelligence is the most important department, and the best way to do this is to report directly to the chief, but the chief often lacks energy and can only be handed over to his most trusted subordinates.
Now Wang San and Li Chao both have heavy responsibilities, and the most suitable one is Sai Zilong, but how to deal with it is still a problem. Should you take him to Tanzhou and follow him to be responsible for the intelligence of the entire Tanzhou, or should you keep him in Xiangtan to continue to be in charge of intelligence? Or is he taking this intelligence power into his own hands, and he is just an errand runner?
Of course, no one would be so confused as to say that Sai Zilong's power would be cut, but no one would say that the intelligence power of the entire Tanzhou would be in the hands of Sai Zilong alone, so he had to speak cautiously.
"Big brother, little brother thinks that the best way is for you to directly manage the intelligence department of the entire Tanzhou, and Sai Zilong is still dealing with the intelligence affairs of Xiangtan." Zhao Gang said a rare sane word this time.
"The junior brother thinks that he can let Lord Sai Zilong manage the intelligence collection of the entire Tanzhou, but he must report specific matters to you on time, and as for the information of Xiangtan, he will send someone else." Liu Xiao also said with a lot of experience.
Both methods are very good, especially the second one, Shi Bin himself also thinks that it is not appropriate to cut off Sai Zilong's intelligence rights, so who is in charge of Xiangtan's intelligence collection?
When everyone was thinking of their own countermeasures, Li Chao spoke again: "Big brother, little brother has a way to solve this problem. β
Shi Bin couldn't wait to enter Tanzhou City immediately, and motioned for Li Chaochao to come quickly.
"Big brother, I can just look at Liu Xiao and Commander Liu. He serves as the deputy of the younger brother, and at the same time holds the intelligence power here, which can be regarded as making the best use of his talents, not to mention that the eldest brother does not have many people under his command now, so it is better to be frugal. β
This is indeed a good way, arranging Liu Xiao in this way is equivalent to giving Li Chao a tight spell, the two check and balance each other, and he can rest assured that he can plan everything in Tanzhou.
With such a result, everyone is happy, in fact, everyone present has greater power and power freedom, especially Li Chao, Sai Zilong and Liu Xiao have more rights.
After arranging everything, Shi Bin left Xiangtan and went to Bentan Prefecture with his whole family, Wang San, Sai Zilong and two hundred guards.
When he arrived on the official road, Shi Bin was not so impatient, but leisurely. Naturally, it was a good result in the arrangement of various things in Xiangtan that made him so comfortable.
"Thank you, sir, for your trust. Your subordinates are very grateful to you and your brothers. Sai Zilong suddenly saluted and said.
Hearing Sai Zilong's words, Shi Bin was very satisfied. Whether it's true or not, it has a very positive effect on increasing collective cohesion.
"Uncle, you don't have to be like this, just call me Shi Bin, I trust you. But you do have to thank the brothers, who are good brothers. Shi Bin said with a smile.
"No, no, no, even if you call your uncle, you can't call you by your name. Big brother, I will definitely take charge of the important task you have given me and firmly hold Tanzhou in your hands. Sai Zilong said very firmly.
Looking at Sai Zilong, Shi Bin didn't say a word, but just gave a fist salute vigorously.
Knowing that this was his absolute trust, Sai Zilong also replied with a firm fist salute.
"Sai Zilong is rude and called uncle, may I ask how we will arrange intelligence collection when we get to Tanzhou?"
"Simple, the focus is on Tanzhou, followed by Jiangbei, as for Xiangtan, just leave a few familiar with the situation. As for the funds, I discussed them with Commander Wang. After Shi Bin finished speaking, he pulled the reins and went to Wang Sanna.
"Brother Xian, just now Sai Zilong asked me how to arrange intelligence collection, I have told him the way to arrange it, I believe he can handle it, but there are still some issues that need to be discussed with you." Shi Bin said with a smile.
As the saying goes, "it's not funny to laugh", if Shi Bin laughs before doing something, it's probably not a good thing. Wang San knew that he had to be cautious, and if he wasn't careful, he would have to be careful to be taken into the pit.
"Big brother, what's the matter? You don't have to ask me. Wang San also replied with a smile.
"It's not a big deal, it's just a matter of appropriation, now that our territory is big, it is estimated that it is not enough to rely on those funds to collect intelligenceγγγγγ" Shi Bin said with a smile.
It turned out to be a matter of money, Wang San smiled weirdly, just closed his eyes and shook his head vigorously, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved to show a hint of a smile.
This can make Shi Bin a little embarrassed, of course, if you want to get more information, you need more funds, where can you ask the horses to run, and the horses to not eat grass?
Jia Ling looked at the two brothers from a distance, and looked a little strange, and also rode over to take a look.
Thinking that a helper was coming, Shi Bin was even more confident that Wang San must come up with money to expand the intelligence department for Sai Zilong.
Hearing this, Jia Ling smiled and said, "My Shi Tongju, do you know how to pay for the news?" Won't you let those intelligence services become self-reliant? β
Pull oneself up by oneβs bootstraps? After thinking about it, Shi Bin understood the meaning. Immediately said: "Brother Xian, eldest brother, I only need 8,000 taels of start-up capital, and the rest will be earned by those guys doing their own business." β
Slowly opened his eyes and looked at Shi Bin with a smile, Shi Bin thought he would agree and immediately laughed, but Wang San said: "I can give the start-up capital, but it is only eight hundred taels." β
Tenth? This can hit Shi Bin hard. What kind of start-up capital is this?
"Big brother, don't be too big, it's easy to fall and break your head when you get on the horse in a hurry. Let's still work steadily, just control Tanzhou in our hands first, and we should first firmly grasp Tanzhou, Xiangtan, and Yueyang. Wang San said.
Knowing that this is Lao Cheng's words for the country, Shi Bin is not a stubborn person, so after hesitating, he said that he would give at least a thousand.
The extra two hundred taels is not a big deal, it can be regarded as making Shi Bin feel more comfortable, and Wang San immediately agreed to this statement.
Some frustrated, he summoned Sai Zilong over and told him the decision, Sai Zilong is not a dissatisfied villain, and said that he would like to thank Shi Bin and Wang San for their support, and he will definitely do a good job in Tanzhou intelligence work.
So far, this group of talents continued to drive to Tanzhou.
