Guangning County, after Xuanwu unified the north and south, the western part of Shanggu County was divided separately to place Guangning County, under the jurisdiction of three counties, for Xia Luo County, Pan County, Zhuolu County, the county seat is in Xia Luo, there are 3,900 households.

Combined with Yang Jie's analysis and Chen Zhi's own information, he could basically determine that it was very likely that he would release Guangning County, so after leaving the Yang family, as soon as he returned to his mansion, he began to collect information about Guangning County.

Seven days later, Zhang Ying was officially promoted to Shang Shuling, and then rumors gradually rose, including those involving Chen Zhi's stay.

Several of Chen Zhi's friends who stayed in Luoyang visited Chen Zhi's mansion one after another, and after talking with Chen Zhi, they left worriedly one by one.

Sure enough, on the third day of Zhang Ying's reign for Shangshu, the official Shangshu submitted a proposal about the weakening of the imperial court's control over Youzhou, and suggested that a capable person be sent to preside over the situation and safeguard the people's livelihood.

Subsequently, several officials mentioned that there were exactly two vacancies in Youzhou, both of which were expelled by Wang Jun.

This problem, the court is not good to directly trouble Wang Jun, but if it is left unchecked, it will have a great impact on authority, so after a royal meeting, this proposal was affirmed.

Then it's time for someone to choose.

In fact, this proposal was thrown out, and the reason for it was clear to everyone that it was Zhang Ying's powerful move, and Chen Yong, Yang Jie and others had expected it a long time ago.

However, it does not mean that they are ready to let Zhang Ying be powerful, and if they compromise easily, the other party may have to gain an inch.

After a period of open and secret fighting, the matter was finally decided, and Chen Zhi served as the county guard of Guangning County, but as a compensation, he also got a lot of unexpected gains, such as this year's plan, you can discuss it, even if Guangning County was in a bad situation last year, it is not to blame him.

In addition, there are many five-grade conveniences, as well as the sealing of several false titles, and of course, there are theoretical favors.

This result can be regarded as a balance.

When Chen Yong brought the news back, Chen Zhi had no objections.

"The time is set in a month, you first arrange the affairs of the secretary province, someone will hand over to you, according to our agreement, within the next two years, you can send a few capable people over, such as Dong Xu, Zhou Ao and others, as well as Su Liao in your house, are all good choices, the ministry will give convenience, in addition, in the military affairs, you can also arrange one or two people, after all, it is the frontier, he Zhang Ying can't force us to wait."

Chen Yong's explanation is the result of the continuous confrontation between them and Zhang Ying in the past few days, which is equivalent to giving Chen Zhi several personnel transfer authorities with a wide range of options, which is much better than going over alone, and it is also convenient to carry out work.

"Thank you, uncle, for your trouble." Chen Zhi nodded in thanks.

"The old man is fine, but on the other side, you have to show something," Chen Yong stroked his beard, "But this expression is not good for money, nor is it good to hold a banquet, but your calligraphy and paintings are of the highest quality, and you can do it." ”

Chen Zhi nodded, indicating that he understood, and was planning the next plan in his heart.

Now it is certain that there is a county for him to exert and a certain degree of military autonomy, and there is a lot to be done.

Chen Yong said again: "A month, it's not long, it's not short, after you hand over the affairs of the secretary's province, you can go home first and go to the house to have a look." ”

As he spoke, he showed a smile: "Since the study tour, Shouyi, you haven't gone home, even the big wedding, because of the emperor's relationship, you can't return to your hometown, now you are famous, for the five-grade official, for the high-grade person, how can you not return to your hometown?" There is a way that wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night, you should go and see. ”

"Kid remembers." Chen Zhi nodded, he knew very well what Chen Yong meant, a trip home, not only to return to his hometown, but also a major job, which was to recruit people.

This era is the era of the family, and in the eyes of people, if you want to do things, there is nothing more trustworthy than your own family.

One of the key points of Chen Zhi's return to his hometown is to select his cronies and family members from the Chen family in Pengcheng and even the Chen family in Xiapi to go north together, so that they can take care of it, and it can be regarded as promoting the same clan.

Sure enough, Chen Yong continued: "Over there, the old man wrote a letter and sent it, selected a few clever people to accompany you, and helped you up and down in the future, and then let a few good players who have practiced martial arts since childhood follow and protect the left and right." ”

Chen Zhi still thanked him, and secretly said in his heart, this life is much easier than the previous life, at least these arrangements are prepared at home.

Chen Yong said again: "I heard that you have trained two hundred family members, comparable to elite soldiers, fifty people accompanying the study tour, and even more broken the Huns' cavalry, since this is the case, you can bring more, just bring more, the family is not restricted by the rules of the imperial court, as long as it is not too excessive, it is okay, you return to your hometown this time, you might as well recruit some more family members in the name of the Chen family, bring them together, and then practice over there, hundreds or thousands, don't think too much, the border war, no matter how many people there are, it is not too much." ”

In a word, Chen Zhi realized how powerful the family is today, and the family can carry hundreds or thousands of them, and it is not a problem for several families to form a force, which seems to be a little more prosperous than the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Looking at Chen Yong's tone, he didn't seem to care at all.

But as far as Chen Zhi understood, such a gathering of families would definitely be taboo in Luoyang, so he tentatively asked whether it was appropriate.

"You go this time, for the five products too guarded, it can be said that my Chen family is the real power official in the frontier, since you want to seize the opportunity to train a group of people for the family, but your worries are also right, even if the court does not explicitly prohibit it, but if you have hundreds of family members alone, let = people play a book, it is inevitable to be troublesome, so this time, several of your brothers have to go together, such as Chen Zi, he is an old man who grew up, and it is no problem to be the head of a county, let him follow you, as a right-hand man, and it is his own family, trustworthy, so many family members, which can also be covered up in the name of Chen Zi. ”

"I understand what Uncle Ancestor means." Chen Zhi's eyes lit up, and he had to admire the creativity and ingenuity of the vast number of landlords.

Chen Zhi knew that Chen Zi, this son of the Chen family was really talented, this son was valued by Chen Yong since he was a child, and he was brought to cultivate by his side, and with his help, he could get twice the result with half the effort.

What's even better is that Chen Zi, as a child of a family and a person with local products, can also recruit family members, Chen Zhi recruits a thousand family members alone, and puts them in his hometown, and it may be a little taboo to take them to office, but with the names of Chen Zi and other Chen family children, it is different, and it is not too much to average to everyone.

And this is just a name, it is an external statement, what is really forbidden to the family's drills and orders, or he is a person, and others cannot interfere.

"However, from these words, it can also be seen that in today's world, I am afraid that the officers and soldiers are no more important than the family members of the family, the family is private, and the protection of the family assets is probably more valued."

The children of the family go to one place to guard the county, and they have to bring so many family members, but they are not to clean and repair the garden, to put it bluntly, this is actually an army controlled by the family.

Of course, it is located in the border to have such convenience, there are many disasters in the north, many posts and pavilions are damaged, dispatched in batches, and there are not many people on the road to interrogate, and if there is a question, an official document will be sent in the past.

But if you go to Jiangzuo, let alone bring more than 1,000 Dings with you, even a few hundred, I am afraid that before I leave Xuzhou, I will be stopped by someone and asked repeatedly, and it will be difficult to make the trip.

As for whether he needs so many family members, Chen Zhi doesn't think there is any problem, in the final analysis, long before he trained two hundred family members, he had already understood that if he wanted to live in such a world, manpower was indispensable, since the identity of the family could give him these conveniences, then what reason was there to refuse?

After Chen Yong finished speaking, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: You have never planned to move, you don't need the old man to say much, you can grasp the proportion inside, the old man is all about this, what are the difficulties in the future, remember to inform the family as soon as possible, although the Chen family is not as good as before, but it is more than enough for you to sit firmly and be too guarded! ”

Chen Zhi heard a little domineering in his words, and couldn't help laughing: "The kid went north this time, and it was also to lay the foundation for the Chen family in northern Xinjiang. ”

Chen Yong nodded when he heard this, and on the other side, the servant Chen Jue came over, saying that Yang Jie had sent someone over and asked Chen Zhi to go to Yang's mansion to meet him.

"Go ahead, many people feel that you are being forced to release this time, but they don't know that you have already prepared for a long time and want to make a career, but the Yang family is clear, and Da Si Nong must also have arrangements."

Chen Zhi nodded goodbye to Chen Yong, went to the back house to explain to his wife, and then went straight to Yang's mansion.

"This is the brother-in-law you never forget."

As soon as Chen Zhi arrived at Yang's house, his Taishan introduced him to a person.

This is a young man who looks powerful and powerful, with a bearded face, but his eyes are bright, and as soon as he sees Chen Zhi, he immediately comes to pay respects.

"Brother-in-law, I'm Yang Song, and my father asked me to come."

Yang Jie pointed at the young man and said with a smile: "Yang Song is the grandson of the second uncle, both civil and military, he returned from a study tour three months ago, and he plans to come out in the next few years. ”

"I have a brother to help me, but I can't ask for it." Chen Zhi understands that this is the Yang family's placement of people on his side, like the Chen family, Chen Zhi married Yang You, which is half of the Yang family, plus the Chen family is not as powerful as the Yang family, the Yang family does not have many scruples and worries, and when it is time to help, there will be no ambiguity.

This Yang Song, Chen Zhi has heard of the name, he is one of the few figures in the Yang family's generation, and he can go out to study, which shows that he is valued by his family and follows him, which shows that the Yang family attaches great importance to him Chen Zhi.

Yang Jie said: "In addition, there are fifty riders, who are rushing to Luoyang, all of them are trained by their own families, martial arts and loyalty are the best choice, they are You'er's servants, you have to take You'er to the north together, it is a dangerous place, no one to protect it, I don't worry." ”
