Chapter 36: A Reminder from Liu Xuan
Chapter 36 comes from Liu Xuan's reminder
"The Liu family?"
Donglai's Liu family is not simple, it is one of the largest families in Donglai, but it did not participate in Shi Qiankun's incident.
Because Shi Qian didn't dare to go to the Liu family.
The reason is very simple, the Liu family is a royal family of the righteous and eight classics.
Liu Pet and Liu Yu two brothers, one of them served as a captain, and the other was a Shanyang Taishou, and now Liu Dai of this generation is a servant, and Liu Miao is filial piety and worships Langzhong.
Therefore, the Liu family can be regarded as a famous family in Donglai, and all generations have official status, and their positions are not low.
Therefore, Shi Qian can't win over the Liu family, on the contrary, if the Liu family knows about it, they will kill Shi Qian first and get rid of the thieves for the Han Dynasty.
So for the arrival of the Liu family, Xu Ding was a little strange, but it was not easy to refuse, so he asked people to come in.
The person who came was none other than Liu Xuan.
Xu Ding was a little surprised, so he said: "Didn't Liu Langzhong perform his duties in the imperial court?" Why did you go back to Donglai? ”
Liu Miao said: "Bokang may not know, I thought I was requisitioned by Sikong Mansion as a subordinate, but I didn't want to stay in Luoyang, so I went back to Donglai!" ”
Wayward! The officials of the Han Dynasty are capricious.
Sikong Peng said that if he didn't go, he wouldn't go, and ran back to play peek-a-boo.
Xu Ding didn't know how to describe these guys.
Ordinary people don't even have a way to rise, and the family doesn't like it, so they don't do it, and directly fry the squid of the imperial court.
"Oh! Is there something wrong with Liu Langzhong? Xu Ding felt that there was nothing to talk about with Liu Xuan's family, so he simply got straight to the point and asked directly.
Liu Miao said: "Bo Kang doesn't have to be so unfamiliar, I have read your poems, and I really admire Bo Kang's literary brilliance, Bo Kang can call me a proper manner." ”
"Well, since Brother Zhengli said so, then it must not be hypocritical." Xu Ding couldn't resist Liu Xuan, so he had no choice but to respond.
Liu Miao said: "That's right, in fact, I came to Huangxian to get acquainted with the four-and-a-half-first genius Bokang, and the other reason is that I heard that the former Taishou Shi Qiankun made trouble in Donglai and damaged my city, so I asked about the situation." ”
Xu Ding stared at Liu Miao for a while, and found that he might not really know anything, so he told him the specific situation.
After hearing this, Liu Miao nodded clearly.
"Shi Qian deserves to die, the crime should be scraped with a thousand cuts, and everyone who conspires will be punished." Liu Miao first rebuked and made his position clear, but then changed the conversation and said:
"However, Bokang, this matter should not be expanded, otherwise it will be an impact on the entire Donglai, and it will also be detrimental to your reputation. Since Shi Qian did it, it is to be executed according to the crime, and the punishment of the various families involved in it is the leader, there is no need to implicate the small clansmen, let alone make a big move to confiscate their family assets. ”
Xu Ding's expression did not move, and asked Liu Xuan: "Brother Zhengli thinks that I have done too much, and wants me to return the money and food of each family." ”
Liu Miao nodded and said: "That's right, Bokang, you are still young, and you are a little impatient in this matter, which is not good for your future, and it is also not good for Donglai's future governance. ”
Liu Miao reminded Xu Ding in the tone of the elders to the juniors, you must know that you are moving the family of Huangxian County now, and this time you have caught the handle.
However, there are still countless families in Donglai County.
If you don't compromise now, then the counties will entrust you to death and make it difficult for you to move an inch in Donglai.
Xu Ding was silent.
If it is just for promotion and fortune, for the sake of his own future, intellectually Liu Miao is right.
But can things do that?
No! No way!
I am Xu Ding, I came to the Eastern Han Dynasty, why should I bow to you.
Troubled times are coming, why let the family be strong and control everything.
I don't allow it, and neither do the civil and military people who follow me.
So Xu Ding stood up and bowed to Liu Xuan.
"Thank you Brother Zhengli for the reminder, but I must have my own principles, and the money and food will never be returned to them, because this is a rebellion, this is a rebellion against the government, it is also a rebellion against the people of Donglai, and it is a rebellion against the Han Dynasty, and I will not tolerate it." Xu Ding replied sonorously, but then added:
"But except for the first offender involved, I can let them go back, but please tell Brother Zhengli that they don't have trouble in Donglai in the future, otherwise they will be severely punished, and they will not have to sharpen their knives one more time."
Liu Miao saw that Xu Ding's tone was very tough, and he wanted to fight with the family to the end, and at the same time, seeing that he planned to release people, it could be regarded as giving face, so he didn't say anything.
The words are not speculative for more than half a sentence, to the effect that it is.
After Liu Miao left, Xi Zhicai said: "Lord, Liu Zhengli is also talented, and he has an excellent reputation, in fact, he agrees, it is good for us to ease up with the Donglai family." ”
Xu Ding shook his head and said, "No need! In the final analysis, the Liu family is the largest family in the Han Dynasty, their way of thinking about problems, and the way of doing things are different from ours, they can be indifferent to the lives of the people, but regard their lives as precious, such people do not need to have deep friendships, and they do not disdain to stand on the same road. ”
Xi Zhicai was thoughtful.
Soon the bandits in the east were also cleared, except for Yu Ban's Second Army Lieutenant who stayed in the south, Li Gan's First Army Lieutenant and Tai Shici's Third Army Lieutenant both returned to the north.
"Zinong, you have been to the east on this expedition, what do you think about this?"
Zao only had some experience in the expedition, thought about it and replied: "Lord, Donglai is close to the sea on three sides, and the coastal terrain is quite flat, and it is also relatively rich, but other places are hills, and Donglai has a large area, and there is no shortage of land, but it needs to be well cultivated and more water conservancy can be repaired." ”
Xu Dingdao: "In this way, how about you form an army in Tuntian, it will be in the east, idle into Tuntian, and when necessary, you will be responsible for maintaining stability in the east and exterminating bandits." ”
Zao is only a little excited, as a figure of the peasant school, he naturally likes to deal with field crops.
Fighting, killing, or dealing with government affairs and officials is not what he prayed for.
So Zao only asked, "That lord! Who is the deputy lieutenant? ”
Xu Dingdao: "I look at Sun Guan, this person's martial arts are good, and he knows some military strategy and military art, it just so happens that you are the captain of the capital, he is the deputy captain, and you are the main one in the field of farming. ”
It is definitely not appropriate to draw generals from other lieutenants, and if it is Sun Guan of the palace guard, there is no problem, and Zao only said that he can.
Sun Guan's ability is not strong, nor weak, and he may not be outstanding to the outside world, but the place for maintaining stability is just right.
Therefore, Xu Ding ordered Zao Yi to be the governor of Tuntian, and Sun Guan to be the deputy governor of Tuntian, with a tentative number of 5,000 to 8,000, responsible for the development of the east.
Not to mention that Zao Yi and Sun Guan were ordered to recruit troops and sell horses, and Xu Ding recruited Lu Qian and Wu Dun here.
"I want to build a naval army, pass on the Donglai maritime affairs, protect the fishermen in the county, and develop the coast at the same time, this time I called the two of you over, that is, let the two of you go to form the Hengshui Lieutenant, Lu Qian is the main envoy, and Wu Dun is the deputy." Xu Ding saw the two of them and directly expressed his thoughts.
The two of them were overjoyed, but they didn't expect Xu Ding to call them for such an important matter, and they were suddenly appointed to such an important position as the chief lieutenant and deputy lieutenant.
So they both came out and bowed: "It's the lord, I will do my best to run the water army!" ”
Xu Ding pressed his hand and said: "Sit down first, this Hengshui Lieutenant is not simple, not only to train the sailors, but also to supervise the construction of warships, as well as to be responsible for the defense of the salt farms, and at the same time to develop seafood, there are many things that are very complicated, which can be described as a thousand things." ”
At first, I thought that Hengshui Duwei was very relaxed, after all, only Jiangdong and Jingzhou in the Han Dynasty attached importance to the naval army, and the north had always cared little about this aspect.
But hearing Xu Ding say this, Lu Qian and Wu Dun felt that the burden was very heavy, and this Hengshui Lieutenant was extremely important, far from being as simple as it seemed.
