Chapter 83: Salt and Iron Officer
Jiang Sheng said: "I am waiting for the first time to come to Le'an, if I start to kill, it will inevitably cause a backlash from the remnants of the Yellow Turban, and letting them go back today is to tell them that I am here to govern Le'an, not just to kill the Yellow Turban." Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info This can be regarded as a salute before the soldiers, if Bian likes to know each other, he will be fine, if he doesn't know what to do, then he is to blame. ā
Yang Feng didn't understand very much, and nodded suspiciously.
Jiang Sheng said again: "The Yellow Turban soldiers were originally poor people, if they were not forced to a dead end, they would never take this road, and only by suppressing and appeasing them can the problem of the Yellow Turban rebellion be fundamentally solved." ā
After tossing and turning in the middle of the night, Jiang Sheng analyzed that the yellow turban would not come again, so he ordered everyone to sleep peacefully, leaving only two groups of light and dark sentries to guard the camp.
Saying that the defeated soldiers of the Yellow Turban returned to the cottage, Bian Xi was taken aback and hurriedly asked why.
The Yellow Turban soldiers recounted the battle, and Bian Xi was secretly frightened when he heard it.
"Then Jiang Sheng really said that?" Bian Xi was skeptical.
"It's true!"
Bian Xi paced in the hall, thinking again and again, Jiang Sheng's cavalry's god-like combat power made Bian Xi's heart palpitate, this time more than 400 people attacked 100 people and suffered such a crushing defeat, but Jiang Shengbu was unharmed, which taught Bian Xi another lesson.
Bian Xi asked the wounded soldier to bandage the wound, he sat in the hall without sleep, he waved away all his own soldiers, and then sat in the hall all night, he was thinking about the more than 1,000 yellow turban soldiers who followed him, and also for himself, it was time to make a choice.
In the early spring, Rinzai was still like winter, and a thick fog shrouded the camp tent, leaving a thin layer of ice ballast on the camp.
Jiang Sheng slept until three o'clock in the morning, and then got up to go out of the tent, Yang Feng, Xia Houlan and others were all ready to go, and only Jiang Sheng's tent was left.
"Big brother", "lord", Xia Houlan and Yang Feng saw Jiang Sheng come out, and hurriedly came over to say hello.
"What are you?" Jiang Sheng was puzzled.
"The Le'an Salt and Iron Officer has sent someone to send a message to let us enter the city for breakfast." Xiahou Landau.
"Salt and Iron Officer? He's very well-informed. Jiang Sheng said casually while scrubbing.
"My lord! This salt and iron official must be watching us, I think, this banquet is not a good feast, so let's not go. Yang Feng said.
"Not going? Someone is in charge of the food, why don't you go? Let's go into the city and meet this salt and iron official. Jiang Sheng finished washing, turned over his horse, and ran to Linji County.
The guards quickly packed up their tents and followed them into Rinzai City.
"Lord Taishou, Lord Yantieguan has been waiting for a long time, please move to the Taishou Mansion with the little one." A family member greeted him at the city gate.
"Lord Taishou is here, why didn't the salt and iron officials come to greet him in person?" Xiahou Landau.
"Lord Yantieguan is busy with official business, and it is inconvenient to receive him, so I hope that Lord Taishou will forgive me."
"Hmph, just now you said that you have been waiting for a long time, why don't you come to greet you when you have this waiting time?"
"Lord Yantieguan is a court official stationed in the place, but Lord Taishou is a magistrate, and there is no reason why the court official greets the magistrate at the gate of the city." The guy was arrogant.
"The Taishou master is in the fifth grade, and the salt and iron official is just a sixth-grade official, which is a bit arrogant." Xia Houlan reprimanded.
"Lord Taishou first came to Le'an, and he didn't know that Le'an was the territory of Lord Yantieguan, right? Even the Qingzhou Thorn History has to give a few thin noodles, what do you want? My family is waiting in the Taishou Mansion, whether to go or not, listen to the respect. ā
Jiang Sheng said: "This Taishou is the Le'an Taishou appointed by the emperor, and the salt and iron officials are just the dispatched officials of the Shaofu's subordinate officials. Ben Taishou is the master, and the salt and iron officials are guests, does the salt and iron officials not know the main and secondary? Ben Taishou is working here today, if the salt and iron official does not come to visit, this Le'an County will send him back to the dynasty to restore his life. ā
Yang Feng didn't say a word, organized the guards to set up camp on the spot, Jiang Sheng dismounted and sat in the camp tent, and no longer took care of the family.
Le'an County mainly produces salt, and there is also a small amount of iron ore output, so the salt officer and the iron official are combined into one, and one person is in charge, Le'an County has been too absent for a long time, and the previous Taishou Lu Kang was dismissed and returned to his hometown because of the admonition, when the Taishou was not in office, the local government affairs were represented by the salt and iron officials, and the salt and iron officials had a small number of soldiers who protected taxes, which was equivalent to the jurisdiction of military affairs, plus Zhang Rang's protection of Zhang Hun, the salt and iron officials in Le'an County were simply the emperor of the soil.
The family Ding watched Jiang Sheng unmoved, neither to leave, nor to stay, and stayed on the horse in a daze.
Jiang Sheng handed over the token given by Zhang Rang to Xia Houlan, Xia Houlan walked over and showed it to the Ding, who saw that the token was engraved with the word "forbidden" and did not dare to call the shots.
"Lord Taishou, the little one doesn't know this token, so I'll go and report it to Lord Yantieguan." Jia Ding hurriedly left.
Xia Houlan returned the token to Jiang Sheng and said, "Big brother, what should I do with this salt and iron official who treats me so slowly?" ā
Jiang Sheng said: "I came to Le'an, this is my Le'an, and people who are not sensible naturally cannot exist in Le'an." ā
Xiahou Lan said: "Could it be that the eldest brother wants to kill him?" He is an official of the Shaofu, and I am afraid that he has something to do with the ten permanent servants. ā
"Ten permanent attendants! Hum! Jiang Sheng snorted contemptuously, then closed his eyes and recuperated.
After a short time, Yang Feng reported that the salt and iron official was coming, whether he wanted to go out to greet him, Xia Houlan directly refused: "He will either come in to meet or leave." ā
Seeing that Jiang Sheng's guards were full of murderous aura, the salt and iron official was already timid in his heart, and he heard that Jiang Sheng held a token to enter and leave the forbidden palace. After hearing Xiahoulan's words, he went inside to worship.
Jiang Sheng sat on the main seat, and Yang Feng and Xia Houlan stood on the left and right.
"Xiaguan Zhang Hun meets Lord Taishou!" The salt and iron officer bowed and saluted.
"Huh? Zhang Hun? It's an apt name, who are you? Jiang Sheng didn't even look at Zhang Hun, still closing his eyes and recuperating.
"Lord Yu, under the first of the ten permanent servants, let Lord Zhang follow, and obeyed the order of Lord Zhang to guard Le'an."
"Hmph, Ben Taishou is following the emperor's will to rectify Le'an. When the emperor heard that some people were the emperor of the soil in Le'an, he was uneasy, so he sent Ben Taishou to investigate, and things were as the emperor expected. ā
Zhang Hun trembled and asked, "I don't know if the adults have verified it?" ā
"When Ben Taishou first came to Ji, he was attacked by the yellow turban and almost lost his life. When the morning dawned, Ben Taishou fell asleep, and you, Lord Zhang, invited me into the city, and the news of my lord was really well-informed! Jiang Sheng stared at Zhang Hun and said with pity.
"Huh? Tai, Taishou-sama, you, you misunderstood. Zhang Hun was so frightened that his legs were sifted like chaff.
"Misunderstanding? There are still remnants of yellow turbans in Le'an, why don't you report it? Jiang Sheng asked.
"I-I-"
"Entering the territory of Le'an, people's livelihood is withering everywhere, how do you govern Le'an County?"
"Iā"
"I'm a five-grade Taishou, why don't you come to greet your little sixth-grade salt and iron official?"
"Iā"
"How did you educate a domestic servant? Dog-eyed or human-eyed? ā
That Zhang Hun was so frightened that he peed his pants, and Yang Feng ordered the guards to drag Zhang Hun out.
