Guo Bin led everyone to enter from the south gate of Yangzhai County, crossed the main street in the middle of the cement pouring, and walked towards the county office.

Looking at the "li" and "city" enclosed by two-meter-high walls on both sides of the road, a strange feeling came to his heart, he was going to become the master of this ancient county town of more than 10,000 households, and at the same time shoulder the safety of the lives and property of many people. When he thought of this, he felt a sense of unreality, and even the skin around him felt crispy and numb.

Walk along the main road, then arrive at the county office, only to see a stone pillar on both sides of the gate that stands more than a high zhang, listen to the accompanying officials say, this is "Huan Biao", that is, the Huabiao of later generations.

There is a communication room-like hut on each side of the gate, and the function is estimated to be similar to the communication room, Guo Bin did not ask carefully. There is no threshold at the main entrance of the county temple, so you can directly enter by horseback, bypassing the rammed earth made of futong (pronounced fu si, which is the screen at this time), and the most conspicuous thing is the county hall that sits in the north and faces south, which is called the hall at this time. The open space in front of the hall was also funded by Fulong Villa, which was poured with cement and directly connected to the side rooms on both sides of the lobby.

Everyone dismounted, and since someone led the mount to the stable to feed the grass, Guo Bin led people to meet the smiling predecessor Liu County.

Liu Xianling introduced his main assistant to Guo Bin and said, "Brother Qianyang, this is Cheng Jiaren of this county. Just explain this sentence, and then talk about the handover.

Guo Bin secretly said in his heart: "Look at this Liu County Order, he is not a person who eats the ancients, but why is he so embarrassed by the face of Cheng Jiaren in the county?" Could it be that there is some entanglement between the two? At the moment, he was silent and chatted with Liu County's order.

After chatting a few words, Liu Xianling got up and went out, it was said that he was going back to his hometown.

Guo Bin hurriedly got up to send him off, and after going around to Futong, Liu Xianling said to Guo Bin: "Qianyang, this Jia Ren, pay attention." Seeing that everyone followed, Liu Xianling laughed and got on the horse and left.

Seeing that Liu County's order was far away, Guo Bin returned to the main hall and summoned everyone in the yazhong to lecture, which can be regarded as acquaintance. In the end, Guo Bin announced that after today's disbandment, each person will have a jar of heroic blood, and when the money is a thousand, the crowd was shocked, and only Jia Ren's face froze, and he instantly changed to a color of joy and joy.

Guo Bin looked at it in his eyes and remained silent.

When the county officials went out, Guo Bin looked at the people who came with him, and his heart suddenly rose with agitation and heroism.

Looking at Zhao Yun in the costume of the county lieutenant, Xu Shu in the costume of the official, Guan Hai who was dressed as a general, Dong Xinger who was dressed as a small servant, and then looking at Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Guo Quan, Sima Hui, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others who came with him, the pride in Guo Bin's heart was indescribable. Let's ask today, even if you count the shogunate of Uncle He Jin, I am afraid that there is no one who can match this small Yangzhai County Ya.

At this time, among the people under Guo Bin, Guo Jia, Guo Quan, Zhao Yun, and Xi Zhicai were the most excited and excited, they were the first to follow Guo Bin to fight the world, and witnessed that Guo Bin only took more than half a year to become today's Fulong Pavilion Marquis and Yangzhai County Commander.

Yes, the experience of witnessing a miracle with your own eyes, or even creating it with your own hands, is the most exhilarating and exciting.

Guo Bin said to everyone with a little apology: "Bin has a cloth coat and has your assistance, so he has today." It's just that the status is still low, and there is no place for the wise men, so please understand. ”

Xi Zhicai said: "The lord doesn't have to be like this, the so-called bird flies away with the phoenix, and the virtuous companion is of high quality." Since the loyal follow the lord, they are not afraid of hardships and dangers, and do not want to be high-ranking officials. Besides, how could the dragon among the lords stop at the small Yangzhai County Order? ”

Zhang Fei shouted: "Not bad, yes, my old Zhang came all the way to sell wine, God was fortunate to meet Brother Guo, my brother did not dislike my old Zhang vulgar, and took me with him to grow knowledge, that is my old Zhang's blessing, from today on, my old Zhang will follow you, as long as the wine and meat are full!" ”

Guo Bin heard Zhang Fei speak like this, his heart was full of joy, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei are all enemies, and it is really a joy to be able to help such a fierce general.

At this time, Xun Yu also said: "When Yu was in Beijing, he had already told Qianyang: one day, he would not be able to take refuge under his wings. Let the Lord do it today. ”

Guo Bin was overjoyed, and when he heard the voice of the lord in Xun Yu's mouth, he was even more excited to get goosebumps.

At that moment, he slapped his thigh excitedly and stood up, pulled Zhang Fei and Xun Yu, and said: "The two of you are valued, and Bin will be treated as a brother." ”

Seeing that Guo Bin had the help of talents, the excitement and pride in Guo Jia's heart were beyond words, and his much more stable temperament under the teaching and edification of Xi Zhicai for more than half a year made him suppress his emotions well, only Guo Bin and Guo Quan noticed that he was holding a white fist, and his body was trembling slightly due to excitement that was difficult to hide.

Xi Zhicai was also in high spirits, he saw the way Guo Bin and Xun Yu got along, and he knew that the rising star of the Yingchuan Xun family would not be able to run away from Guo Bin's shogunate, and he got what he wanted today, and it was difficult to hide his joy. This "strategist" who devoted himself to Guo Bin's curtain for the sake of the common people in the world really thought about Guo Bin everywhere, and Guo Bin was only moved in his heart, but only treated each other sincerely.

The personnel allocation in the county government this time was also decided by Guo Bin after careful discussion with Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai.

Zhao Yun served as the county lieutenant and was in charge of the security of a county, there is no doubt about it, and this is also the position that Guo Bin won from He Jin before leaving Beijing. Troubled times are coming, and the gun must be in the hands of one's own people to be the safest.

Guan Yu stayed in Fulong Villa, replacing Zhao Yun and teaching the soldiers. This is to let him be more familiar with the various situations in the village, so that he can mature as soon as possible before the Taiping Dao uprising and take charge of himself.

As for Guan Hai, since Guo Bin was seriously injured in Beijing, he has been guarding behind Guo Bin all the time, and no one who comes can persuade him, Guo Bin has to let him. Originally, Guo Bin wanted to leave the position of county lieutenant to Guan Hai, he originally wanted Zhao Yun and Guan Yu to teach the soldiers a lesson, so that when the Yellow Turban was in chaos, the soldiers would not know the generals and cause chaos, but Guan Hai did not agree, in his words, it was: "My lord is a servant, I only want to protect the lord and the master, and I don't want to be an official." When Guo Bin heard this, he was speechless, so he could only give up.

Xu Shu served as Zuo Shi, and served as Guo Bin's deputy in the county government, helping him deal with daily affairs, which can be described as "high and powerful". This is considering that Xu Shu has been in Fulong Villa for some time and knows a lot about the affairs of Zhuangzhong. asked him to come to the county yazhong, firstly, as Guo Bin's main assistant, familiar with the operation of the county yazhong, and help Guo Bin deal with trivial affairs; The second is to let him listen to the news in the yazhong and help Guo Bin control the lower-level officials, and many things that Guo Bin is inconvenient to come forward with, so Xu Shu will come forward.

Don't underestimate these inconspicuous officials, their strength cannot be underestimated. Gu Yanwu once said: "The officials of the hundred officials are famous, and the officials of the country are also officials." That's it.

Most of them are the children of local wealthy families, not only familiar with political affairs, but also have a wide range of contacts, and they are a group of people that Guo Bin, who has a short foundation, needs to woo. After winning them over, most of Yangzhai County fell into the hands of Guo Bin. Otherwise, if the officials oppose Guo Bin, there will be the support of the big clans behind them, which will not only hinder political affairs, but also play a pivotal role in the accessibility of government decrees.

If the local wealthy family can't cooperate with Guo Bin well, then even if he sits in the position of the Yangzhai County Commander, Guo Bin's order can't even come out of the Yangzhai County Ya, and the so-called control is just a joke. Otherwise, it will be necessary to use absolutely powerful force to subdue and even destroy the heavy wealthy clan, which is tantamount to a fool's dream at present. Therefore, Xu Shu's role is crucial.

As soon as Guo Bin took office today, he gave a cadre a jar of wine and 1,000 money, not because he burned more money, but because he made good friends, and it was a move he took at the beginning of his tenure.

The reason why Xi Zhicai did not come to the county to serve was because he wanted Yu Zuixianlou to continue to preside over the overall situation, intelligence work, contact with wealthy families, and recruit strange people, none of which could not be separated from him, while Guo Jia still followed Xi Zhicai to study as a director.

Sima Hui was obsessed with teaching, and he was so busy that he hit the back of his head with his heel only teaching students every day, and he had to study the three laws of mechanics proposed by Guo Bin in depth when he was a little free, so he really had no energy and no interest in coming to the county government again. Besides, with Sima Hui's talent, if he wants to be an official, why wait until now?

Xi Zhicai saw that he was surrounded by his own people, so he said bluntly and reassuredly: "Lord, about the matter of the county Cheng Jiaren." ”

Guo Bin nodded and said, "The right talent Liu Gong has also told me that he wants me to be careful of this Jia Ren." Just looking at his expression, he was quite jealous of Jia Ren. "Gong Liu is the former county commander of Liu.

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Guo Bin said: "Liu Gong is a protégé of the Yuan family, and when I came back from Beijing, I had already written to him. ”

Then he said to Xi Zhicai: "Zhicai, what kind of road is Jia Ren?" ”

Xi Zhicai cleared his throat and said: "This Jia Ren is the head of the Jia family in the west of the city, he has been a clerk in the county since his ancestors, and he has been running for the third generation, and he has a lot of connections in the county and has a great influence. Now Jia Ren has bought a position in the county, and his momentum is even greater. ”

Seeing that everyone was listening carefully, Xi Zhicai continued: "Since I got the news that the lord had removed the order of Yangzhai County, Zhong ordered the intelligence department to focus on investigating the news in the county, and this county Cheng Jia Ren is the top priority of intelligence coverage. According to intelligence, Jia Ren has been in frequent contact with a suspicious man recently, and the person who stalked him reported that after meeting Jia Ren, he would walk around the city and then go to the camp outside the city. ”

Xu Shu exclaimed: "Taiping Dao? ”

Guo Jia nodded slowly and said, "I'm afraid so." Every time this person goes to the camp, he goes there. ”

Most of you here know where Guo Jia refers to "that place", because Guo Bin had a conflict with Taiping Dao before entering Beijing, and the intelligence department paid special attention to the news of Taiping Dao. Taiping Dao once sent more than 20 young men to Fulong Villa, but was detected by Xi Zhicai, so he transferred them to the camp of digging limestone in the back mountain of Fulong Mountain, and they were as tired as dogs every day, but it did not stop their enthusiasm for passing on the news. And every time the news arrives "there" in the camp.
