Chapter 525: Painter's County Order
There are countless fierce generals and brave generals who dare to fight under Chao Gai, but when it comes to governing the local government, there are relatively few civil officials, after all, Chao Gai was born recklessly, and many scholars in the Northern Song Dynasty were not willing to come to Chao Gai. Of course, it is not necessary to read books to govern a place, and it is also possible to draw.
Chao Gai asked Luo Yun to call Zhang Zeduan over, Zhang Zeduan is also very busy these days, and is leading more than a dozen cartographers to draw a map of the coast, there are no satellites these days, and it is still very troublesome to make a map.
Chao Gai said: "Counselor Zhang, let you change careers and do something else, I don't know if you are willing to do it,"
Zhang Zeduan said: "Your Excellency has something to order, don't look at me with such a smile, you can see me hairy." ”
Chao Gaixin said, don't you make me keep a straight face all day long.
"Well, the island of Taiwan is newly determined, and there are about 60,000 immigrants from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian nearby, and there will be 50,000 or 60,000 people in the near vicinity, and there will be 50,000 or 60,000 people in addition to the mountain people in the middle of the island.
Zhang Zeduan was a little excited after hearing this, and stammered: "Let me be a county magistrate for painting, this span is a little too big, I'm afraid it won't be good." ”
"Otherwise, those who paint can also be officials, and Yan Liben of the Tang Dynasty is also a painter, an official to the prime minister. Besides, you have been outstanding in dealing with Nanbatian's gang this time, so that's why I have this idea. Chao Gai said.
Zhang Zeduan rubbed his hands, which scholar doesn't want to be an official, although Zhang Zeduan is now serving in the military department, and he also belongs to the head of a department, responsible for mapping, with a salary of more than 60 yuan a year, as well as bonuses, but as a cultural person, Zhang Zeduan still doesn't like this kind of life in the army every day, surrounded by some military generals, and he, a painter who is a little bookish, is a little out of tune, I didn't expect Chao Gai to let him serve as a county commander, this is a pie that fell from the world.
Zhang Zeduan said: "The governor treats me as a national soldier, and I will do my best to serve me." ”
Chao Gai shook his hand and said: "Mistaken, although I value you, but you should be responsible for the hundreds of thousands of people in Taiwan, only the people are really satisfied, give you half a year, and after the expiration of the year, I will send people to the people to inspect to see if the people are satisfied, if there are too many people who are not satisfied with you, you will return to the military department to draw a map." ”
"Okay, I'll do it." Zhang Zeduan happily accepted the task.
However, Chao Gai did not have many people to give Zhang Zeduan, so he transferred a criminal master, a capital head, a tax officer, a farmer officer, and a few people from the army who were strong men to cook on fire.
Zhang Zeduan didn't give anyone Chao Gai if he wanted it, so he found a way to go, and then Chao Gai and the First Fleet returned to Jeju.
Of course, the Seventh Fleet is stationed in the ports of the island of Taiwan and is responsible for maritime security and its caravan escort. Huang Xin's 1,500 cavalry were stationed on the island, responsible for the security of the island's land, as well as temporary security patrols.
The county government is relatively simple, and the courtyard of a Fujian tea merchant is idle, so Zhang Zeduan spent 20 yuan to buy it, and there are three main halls in front, which just happens to be the lobby of the county government. Behind it are six rooms, which are used as the offices of the criminal master, the farmer, and the tax officer. As for renting a small courtyard next to it, there are only 50 patrols transferred from Jeju, and it is not easy for a Dutou plus 50 patrols to completely manage the security of 60,000 or 70,000 people, not to mention the mountain people in the mountains.
The new official took office with three fires, and Zhang Zeduan burned these three fires are still relatively cautious. The first fire was used to build water conservancy, but the engineering troops transferred by the military department have not yet arrived, and even if they do, the engineering troops have repaired some relatively large projects. Therefore, Zhang Zeduan mobilized the people, and every household sent out people and Ding, and carried out a big rest of the canals in the rice fields. By widening and reinforcing the intermittent canals that had been built by the people, and by adding huge waterwheels, the goal was to bring in water when the rice fields needed it, and to send water out when it was raining.
Although all the canals built are small rivers and farmland, this is a test for the newly established Taiwan County Government. Although the propaganda lasted for several days, some people were just unwilling to go to work, and although the coercion came the fastest, it was not what Zhang Zeduan wanted, and Zhang Zeduan relied on his good eloquence to persuade the farmers who did not understand from door to door, and the project of building farmland and water conservancy was finally done. The next thing to consider is to build roads, and then to do a good job of law and order. Of course, this takes time, and it is not something that can be done in a day or two.
Let's put aside how Zhang Zeduan will develop in Taiwan, just say that Chao Gai has just arrived at Rizhao Wharf, and the secret letter from the intelligence department has arrived, Chao Gai opened it and was startled, what is the situation, saying that Qingzhou's Sishan League has also gone to sea, Chao Gai is noncommittal.
It turned out that when Chao Gai led the Jeju army to fight against the Liao army, Qingzhou underwent earth-shaking changes.
When Gao Yu led the army to attack the Jeju army, the four generals Hu Yanzhuo, Peng Xi, Han Tao, and Suo Chao of the soldiers and horses on the North Road, led the remnants of the two armies to converge and defeated Li Cheng, and went straight back to Gaotang Prefecture.
Gao Lian of Gaotang Prefecture had already run back to Tokyo, Hu Yanzhuo led 4,000 soldiers and horses to live in Gaotang temporarily, although the administrative management is not very proficient, but the Gaotang Prefecture government has a mature team, in charge of taxation, in charge of money and grain. The money and food collected were not much, anyway, it was enough for 4,000 cavalrymen to eat and wear. Just lived in Gaotang for half a month, Chao made up for it, it was a messenger who took the order of the Son of Heaven, where did Hu Yanzhuo dare to slack off. Chao Qincha said that he would pardon the generals for the sins of mutiny, but they would cooperate with the Jeju army to send troops to resist Liao.
Hu Yanzhuo, Han Tao, Suo Chao and others are not ambiguous in resisting the Liao soldiers, since the imperial court has an order to resist the Liao, then what else to say, the four thousand cavalry rectified for five days, repaid the military salary, the soldiers repaired the weapons and armor, etc., the preparations were sufficient, and then they set off, who knew that at this time the second order of the imperial court came, saying that they were not allowed to go to Hebei to resist the Liao soldiers, let them go to Qingzhou, and be dispatched by the Murong prefect.
Hu Yanzhuo and the other four sat together, and Hu Yanzhuo asked: "The imperial court ordered us to take Qingzhou and return it to the prefect of Murong, do you have any opinions?"
Han Tao said: "It's a big crime to disobey orders, our sin of mutiny has just been forgiven, and we have no foundation, there is no basis for disobedience." ”
Hu Yanzhuo heard that everyone was right, now there is no place to go, go to Chao Gai, I don't know what Chao Gai means, now there is an order from the imperial court, let go to Qingzhou, then go to Qingzhou, it's better than staying in Gaotang.
