The first thing Zhou Huai'an did when he returned to Guangfu was to constantly receive and listen to the reports and presentations of his subordinates and officials in various affairs, so as to have a deeper grasp of the current situation.

These people are mainly from the various large-scale projects implemented by Zhou Huai'an, and they have exercised the corresponding experience in management, coordination and deployment. After all, in this era of limited productivity and underdeveloped technology, it is not a simple matter to want to perform large-scale collective labor; The slightest negligence of all kinds of exhaustion, death, malnutrition, and even death caused by accidents and accidents is also a matter of every second.

Therefore, once tempered and selected in such large-scale projects and collective labor, it will be a natural candidate and potential basis for the future officials at all levels of pro-people; After all, in terms of the general level of governance in this era, it is only a magnification of various management systems and experiences in collective labor to a county and a township.

Anyway, now the local wealthy families under the rule of the rebels in the Lingdong states have almost been cleaned up, and they are in a state of recuperation and recuperation in some kind of inaction; It is not like the traditional state and county officials who have to spend a large part of their energy on dealing with and playing games with the wealthy gentry in those places; It is often only after obtaining the corresponding approval and cooperation that the basic decrees can be issued and the further development of the means of governance can be achieved.

In most cases, they only need to follow the rules of past experience, continue to organize production activities and local construction, and then convey and undertake some recruited and dispatched figures from the upper echelons of the rebel army. That's the benefit of a collective system, where everyone in each position knows what they need to do.

Therefore, compared with all the Chaoxun areas that are still helping step by step, the real chaos is here in Guangfu. The rice shortage is only a superficial phenomenon and problem, and the deeper reason is that the official power represented by the left-behind division has begun to lose control and limited control over the bottom of society.

You must know that Zhou Huai'an only led the troops to go on the expedition for three or four months, and the public security situation and social order in the city took a sharp turn for the worse; The rags, gangsters, and so on that had been ruthlessly suppressed and cleaned up began to pop up again, and there were also signs of resurgence of underground gangs and associations.

As a subordinate patrol team of the left and right city patrol divisions associated with it, it is even more shocking to erode rapidly; Except for those scumbags under their own names, who were useless because they only accepted the management and training of the Sanjiang Army, the names of the other patrol teams were simply a mess of filth; The dregs of all kinds of deficits and salaries have almost made a comeback, and they have returned to the situation under the previous government.

Among them, Meng Kai transferred a large number of soldiers from the patrol team, and those former righteous soldiers to supplement the battalions under his command; There are also reasons why Lin Yan did not carefully select and screen, and once again added a large number of people who were indiscriminate or confused.

Because, instead of even recruiting people from those rebel camps in the suburbs outside the city, or from the relatively simple and simple villagers Ding Zhuangli, but under the guarantee, entrustment and recommendation of some high-ranking figures and good friends, with a rash stroke of the pen, he let those people of unknown origin or suspicious identity in the city join the patrol team in groups;

And then those veteran players who were originally working hard were quickly squeezed and diluted, and they could no longer play a role or come in handy. But those old people were not easy to get along with, so they quickly gathered together to confront and fight with them. As a result, it is also troublesome that the people in the patrol team are in turmoil, and they have no intention of maintaining their daily basic duties and functions.

As for how much Lin Yan has benefited from this, and how much benefit he has received from it, or how much he has been deceived and deceived by others, it is really unknown. According to the people below, during this period of time alone, the number of properties under his name has increased by more than a dozen; But this did not affect Zhou Huai'an's determination to cut through the mess quickly.

Therefore, Zhou Huai'an's first order to start sitting in the office was to convene all the members of the patrol team to read and announce the on-the-spot dismissal of those who had not arrived within the time limit; Then he ordered Luo Nian, the lieutenant who was in charge of staying at the Xiaodong Gate of Waiguo, to bring in three new battalion soldiers who had returned with him, and Chai Ping was responsible for leading the maintenance of order in the city and suppressing possible chaos and commotion.

When the messengers and scribes who appeared before him in turn, as well as the subordinates who had gathered in front of him to discuss matters, were ordered to disperse one after another, the office finally regained its purity and tranquility.

"Brother Chai, I'll leave everything to you next."

Zhou Huai'an explained meaningfully to Chai Ping, the military master who fell behind.

"We must ensure that all evil is eliminated and that peace is restored to the world."

"Don't worry, I will let those black sheep who have ruined the reputation of the rebels have nothing to hide."

Chai Ping was quite solemn and unaware.

"That's good."

Zhou Huaian nodded.

"There's no need to be careful about anything over there. I'm responsible for everything. ”

At least after Annan's side by side battles, and after seeing and experiencing many people and things, he also became more mature and calm; At least not in the black-and-white format of the past, expressing more surprise and skepticism.

After staying in the office and continuing to deal with the backlog of affairs and documents that needed to be forwarded all night, Zhou Huai'an, who was full of fatigue, slowly stretched his somewhat stiff and sour body in the bright sun of the next day, and stepped on the carriage to his residence in the city.

By the time he was awakened and walked down from the swaying of the carriage, he was already in the inner door of the temporary dwelling, of course, although it was a "temporary" dwelling, it was also the place where there were several courtyards inside and outside, and then left and right, with gardens and gardens; And the two large and one small that stood out in front of the servants and guards, like a group of flowers blooming, also made him feel refreshed.

"Welcome to the Lord's home."

"Leader Wan Anfu."

"Meet the Pipeman."

After not seeing each other for a while, Zhou Huai'an finally found that his small pendant had grown a little bigger, not only in terms of size but also in other aspects;

The cheeks gradually become a little baby-fat and plump on the childish little face, the delicate and delicate eyebrows and eyes, the straight nose tip and the lips, as well as the moist and bright body and skin, which look very well matched with the green and yellow brocade skirt shirt; It really deserves to be a description of flowers and snow muscles and the illusion of people in the picture scroll of classical ladies.

It's like the kind of old farmer who looks at himself and watered it with one hand, and the happy eyes and expectations of the water and good seedlings. Zhou Huai'an had already imagined in his mind that he would be at the mercy of and dress up in various postures like a large figure at night.

In contrast, the skeleton spirit of the bear wolf dog, which looked to have changed its coat color and increased a circle, and kept shuttling at his feet and wagging his tail and rubbing his body, was a little disappointing, still so cloaked and sallow; I don't know where all the ingredients I have eaten in the past half a year have gone, and she is wearing a men's dress that can't show her figure at all, as if she is afraid that others will not know what she is like.

Of course, Zhou Huai'an looks the most pleasing and caring, and is undoubtedly the little maid Qingluoer, who is still delicate and still holding a small pendant like a sister; I saw that she was dressed in a slightly graceful azure scattered color flowing flower and a chest skirt and plain white half-arms, and for a while her eyes were bright like water and her face was like a flower, and she had a pretty and wordless taste, and the surrounding atmosphere became a little gentle.

"Slave greets Lang Jun's victorious class."

Looking at Qingluo, who was smiling and swaying down the steps to greet her, Zhou Huai'an suddenly had some kind of two-dimensional auditory hallucinations in his mind.

"May I ask the master, do you want to eat, or take a bath, or eat me?"

"I'm going to do it all."

He shouted involuntarily.

"Well, I'm hungry and tired."

Then he couldn't help but say that he couldn't help but pull the somewhat stunned, and a little shy Qingluo went inside. And the small pendant that directly muttered his lips slightly, as well as the skeleton spirit with a somewhat complicated expression that seemed to sigh and rejoice, and the bear, wolf, and dog that went straight to the quibble, were all left behind.

Then, this bath to wash away the wind and dust was washed for a long time, straight from the morning to the evening. Three plates had been replaced along the waterway, and the stove that kept the soup pool warm until dusk.

Although in the consideration of long-term development and cultivation, it is still not easy to take the last step, but as a later generation, "read all the three hundred old wet parts, will not" in the real sense of the old driver, the passer; Zhou Huai'an has the means and skills to taste and eat delicious food slowly, so that he and others can obtain pleasure.

"Now the city is spreading Lang Jun's martial arts and deeds everywhere. . ."

Qingluo, who had been fiddled with and was flushed and a little out of strength, just like her name, did not retreat and attached to Zhou Huai'an's chest, and unconsciously coiled and stroked his face with Qianqian'er's fingers

"Even the sisters in the workshop have heard about it all the time. It is said that slaves are very blessed, so that they can meet a character like Lang Jun. ”

"Isn't it, someone has been deliberately pushing and disaghaning it during this time."

Zhou Huai'an said suddenly.

"There seems to be a bit of a situation like this,"

Qingluo, who seems to be tired and comfortable cat, is the answer,

"In those days, even the vendors selling breakfast outside the door, and the villagers in the wild market outside the door, were talking about Lang Jun."

"It's the so-called freezing three feet, not a day's cold."

Zhou Huai'an couldn't help but sigh

"I'm afraid this is a killing method that wants to force disagreements and suspicions within my righteous army."

As long as those people are touting more and more powerful, I am afraid that the two who stay in Guangfu will be easier to think about it, Zhou Huaian was thinking in his heart, and at this time, a faint announcement came from outside again.

"Tell the head of the house, Deputy Envoy Lin sent a post, saying that a reception banquet was specially arranged in the other house, and please appreciate one or two."

Zhou Huai'an sighed in his heart, and finally reacted, some things still have to be faced.
