Yingzhou, morning, Yingzhou Governor's Office.

The weather today is very nice, the sun is shining, the climate is warm, it is like autumn, and it feels very comfortable.

On the table are the books issued by the imperial court, and in the room are the officers and main staff of the fifth rank and above.

"Judge Jiang, please read this book to you!" Wu Yanzhi said.

After Qi Xuan left, Jiang Shipeng had been promoted to the judge of the copper and iron envoy. Wu Yanzhi was in Fanyang and hired a jinshi Lu Hong as the secretary.

This Lu family is the Fan Yang Wang family, one of the five surnames and seven wang in the Tang Dynasty, and their power is not trivial.

Jiang Shipeng agreed, then took the book handed over by Wu Yanzhi, and told the promotion and reward of the main officials.

Several of them were governors, and of course they were very happy.

"Thank you King Donglai for your promotion!"

"Humble and grateful to the king of Donglai......"

"I wish to serve under the throne of Donglai for the rest of my life!"

Words of gratitude come and go!

Wu Yanzhi smiled and said softly: "Don't be polite here, the merits of all the officials have been reported to the imperial court in time." These were the first officials to be rewarded and promoted;

The second batch of officials will be negotiated by the Heavenly Officials and the Xia Officials, and it is estimated that it will arrive soon, don't panic, contemptible people will never be stingy with rewards!

In the future, I will temporarily separate from you, full-time handling copper and iron matters, Xingzhou is one of the main steel production bases in my Dazhou, it should be said that it is mainly the production of iron, and there is very little ...... steel."

Wu Yanzhi said his plan, and everyone was a little reluctant. Many of these people have to return to the capital to take up their posts, but General Li Quanyi is a little unhappy: "You all go back to the capital to enjoy your happiness, but you leave contemptible people in this bitter cold place!" ”

Then Yao Kuan smiled and said, "General Li is not good? You have become a third-grade general, and now you are the protector of Anton, and these seven or eight directly subordinate states and dozens of fetter states in the vicinity can be under your control, which is equivalent to half of the soil prince! If you can be in this position, you will wake up laughing in your dreams! ”

Among them, Li Quanyi is the fastest to improve his position, and he is also one of the two people recommended by Wu Yanzhi, and the other one is of course Yang Siqiao.

"Who doesn't want to be a Beijing official! Staff Officer Yao, if you want to stay here, I will give you a performance to the Holy Lord, how about letting you come to this Andong Protectorate as Sima? Li Quanyi shook his head.

"When Sima? I can't do such a big official, you know I haven't read much, General Li should find someone else! Yufei and I still follow the king of Donglai and handle the copper and iron! Yao Kuan shook his head violently.

The crowd burst out laughing!

Yao Kuan and Yu Fei were both awarded the rank of guerrilla general from the lower rank of the fifth rank, and served as the captain of the right Yulin Guard Captain Wai Tongzheng (Captain of the Lei Cavalry Battalion, outside the establishment). Wu Yanzhi asked the two of them to follow him on an errand in the name of handling firearms.

The two of them followed him for a short time, made great contributions, and became Wupin generals, so they were naturally willing to continue to follow Wu Yanzhi. Where will you stay in what Yingzhou, and what Sima will be!

At this time, Wu Yanzhi said again: "General Li, don't be discouraged, you are a military general, and it is your duty to defend the emperor!" It's just that I'm a civil official, aren't we still traveling around?

I'm also an observer of Hebei Province, so I'll come back to see you when the time comes! Don't be corrupt, or I'll find you, and you'll be out of luck!" ”

Wu Yanzhi laughed as he spoke!

Everyone knew he was joking, and they all laughed along! The atmosphere in the house is very nice! Then General Li Quanyi stood up and saluted:

"How dare you be lowly? But then again, I hope that General Wu will say a few good words for the humble post in the Shendu in the future, so that I can return to the capital as soon as possible! ”

"General Lee's words are wrong! This dynasty has a tradition of entering and exiting the phase! Aren't General Wang Xiaojie and General Lou Shide all worshipping each other because of their military exploits?

If General Li makes another great contribution, maybe you will become the prime minister, and others will still be in this prison! This is the Holy Lord cultivating General Li, why is General Li in a hurry to return to the capital? Wu Yanzhi's expression became serious.

When everyone heard it, they all felt that what Wu Yanzhi said was very reasonable. There will be merit here, and it is indeed the tradition of the Tang Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty to worship the prime minister. To put it mildly, it is easier than the literati to worship the prime minister, and it seems that the competition is less intense. It is not easy for civil officials to worship the prime minister, how many people compete for one or two positions!

When Li Quanyi heard this, he saw that Wu Yanzhi's face was a little bad, so he stopped talking and sat down respectfully.

This is Yang Siqiao got up and said: "Without the care and promotion of King Donglai, there would be no subordinates today." Please accept the next bow! ”

That Yang Siqiao was also upright, and immediately fell to the ground! The highest courtesy! General Yang is exempt! General Yang fought bravely and resourcefully, and I am afraid that he will make new contributions in the future!

I still have to go back to Shendu, and after reporting on my work, I will put Jiuding in place, and then rush to Xingzhou to handle the affairs of the copper and iron envoys. I'm sure I'll be back in the next year......"

Because the recast Jiuding is about to be completed! This copper and iron affairs in Xingzhou, he had to hand it over to Jiang Shipeng first.

Officials in the Tang Dynasty had to go to the capital first to change their positions, except for some military generals who had special requirements. For example, the current generals Li Quanyi and Zhang Jiujie are the emperor's special order that they do not need to go to Beijing to see His Majesty, and they will take office immediately!

This is better for officials, for the simple reason that at that time, officials left and went to work, and the cost of the journey was borne by themselves.

Due to the extremely inconvenient traffic in the past, the journey took several months. This is a huge expense for low-level officials, because a whole family has to follow.

The key point is that many officials still have candidates, and when they return to Luoyang, they may have to wait a few years before they have new posts. During this period, there was no income.

That means that during the period of time you are on the road, you have not received a new resignation, nor have you taken up a new position, so naturally you will not be given corresponding treatment, which is very different from today.

……

General Zhang Jiujie has served in the Northeast for a long time, and he wants to return to Beijing, but the emperor promoted him to be the governor of Yingzhou, which is also an important position, and he really wants to open it.

At the time of separation, he naturally did his best as a landlord and sent Wu Yanzhi courteously.

From Yingzhou to Luoyang, there are more than 3,200 miles, and according to the daily itinerary of 50 miles, it takes two months.

Wu Yanzhi set off with Yang Sixuan, Qi Xuan, Yao Kuan, Yufei, Wu Shouping and others. They agreed to follow the pattern of two or three stations a day, an average of seventy or eighty miles a day.

It took more than a month to arrive in Luoyang, and it was already icy and snowy at this time, entering the deep winter season.

"Brother, you're back!" That younger brother Wu Yanping and younger sister Wu Xiaoyue ran out in a hurry!

The two mothers then ran out and greeted them at the gate!

"Brother, you bring so many things? After you left, Judge Sun sent a lot of food and rewards every month! In the past few months, the eldest brother has become the king of the county, which is really amazing! "Younger brother Wu Yanping, watching Wu Yanzhi come back with twenty or thirty truckloads of things, he was a little surprised!

"These are my gifts to my friends, mother, and you in the capital! And so many things you've never eaten before! You glutton! Wu Yanzhi said with a smile. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
