Xu Chu, the chief official of Cao, had a belly case, and since Zhong Yan mentioned it first, he first asked Zhong Yan's opinion.

The reason why Xu Chu did not have the heart of a teacher for his own use and decided on the selection of candidates was to leave a good impression of 'being good as a stream' to the scholars.

Zhong Yan was also polite, and proposed: "If you have a family history, you have both ability and political integrity, and you can be a county meritorious." ”

Everyone looked at Xun Chen, and saw Xun Chen slowly get up from his seat, walked to the hall and stood side by side with Zhong Yan, and said: "Chen is a shallow learner, and he doesn't dare to take on this big responsibility." ”

Gong Cao Peng's master is promoted, and he is too guarded to be a heavenly official, and Xun Chen also wants to be it. But he had already promised Xu Chu to manage the three northern counties of the county, and if Xu Chu didn't take the initiative to stay, he would have no choice.

Xu Chu smiled and asked, "Do you have any other proposals?" ”

Xun Chen said: "Du Jun is calm and capable, and he has many good names, and his skills are none other than Du Jun." ”

Du You then also came to the hall, saying that it was still suitable for Xun Youruo.

Xu Chu exchanged glances with Guo Jia, who was at the end of the table, and finally understood that not only had he finished the draft, but the Yingchuan clan had also prepared. Looking at the direction of the wind, they hope that Xun Chen will do the work of Cao Peng, if it doesn't work, they will retreat to the second, Du You can also.

Can you refuse? I really can't refuse. In the future, Xu Chu sent troops outside the county, and whether the number of soldiers, weapons, grain and grass was excellent, or not it all depended on the extent to which the Yingchuan clan governed Yingchuan for him. Before his fledgling, Xu Chu could only accept the Yingchuan clan's similar 'coercion' behavior.

"If you are humble, why should you be humble, you can let others do the work of Tunnong and mulberry management in the three counties in the north of the county, and you don't have to shirk Cao Peng's position." Xu Chu thought about Xun Yu's kindness to him, and decided to let Xun Chen manage the personnel, and Du You already had the right to control a thousand county soldiers in his hands, and let him do Cao Peng's work, the power would be too great.

The scholars got the merit of Cao Peng, and immediately elected Xu Shu as Hu Cao Peng. Hucao is a county household, and Nongsang is also a very important position, and what is even more rare is that this shows the attitude of the Yingchuan clan, they are equivalent to telling Xu Chu about recommending Xu Shu as the head of Hucao - as long as the prince can listen to our advice, we will not go too far.

Since he knew everything in his heart, Xu Chu didn't ask much. Zhong Yan is good at governance, and heard Guo Jia say that this person is fair and honest, Xu Chu appointed him as the county governor and supervised the governance of county officials; Zhong Jin and Xun Yan were all-rounders, so they took Xun Yan as the order of the Yuanling, supervised the military administration of the three northern counties of the county, and took Zhong Jin as the thief Cao Peng, the main thief of a county, and concurrently served as the lawsuit under the jurisdiction of Cao; Du You was promoted to the five official Peng, and still led the county military power, and the original Wu official Peng Zhang Li could see that he dared to speak, so he was temporarily proposed by Xu Chu and became the chief official of the council; Xun Yue was old, and his knowledge was the highest among all people, so he set up his main room and led the plan.

So far, Xu Chu has been a strong person who has been the Taishou of Yingchuan, except for Chen Qun, who is unwilling to go out, he is all arranged in a high position. Especially the Xun family, Xun Chen did a good job of Cao Peng, and Xun Yan supervised the military and political affairs of the three counties, as calm as Guo Jia, and he was a little envious for a while.

Of course, Xu Chu is not stingy with his own people, Xu Shu is in charge of Hu Cao, Guo Jia doesn't like to work between cases, so he is assigned to Bing Cao. Xu Chu's military power is tightly pinched, and the soldiers are just decorations, so Guo Jia can wait for Xu Chu to come to work when he needs to. Pang Zhan also rose from the county to Cangcao Peng, still in charge of Canggu.

While everyone was happy, everyone always felt that something was missing. By the way, Xu Chu's father-in-law, Zhang Feng, has not been talked about yet.

Zhang Feng is anxious, I don't expect Gong Cao Peng, but how can I say that there are people in all Cao chiefs? But I heard Xu Chu say: "This county was originally a large iron-producing county, but since the Zhongping period, mines have been abandoned in various places, and even if they are not abandoned, they have mostly become private. The government decided to appoint Zhang Deran as Jin Cao Peng, and Li Zheng, Wang Xu, Zhao Yuan and others from Yanling County as his subordinates, and make every effort to rectify the iron smelting affairs in the county! ”

……

……

"Ahh The weather was still a little cold in the evening, and Xun Chen, who had just walked out of the lobby of Fuzhong, was blown by the cool breeze and couldn't help sneezing.

This said for a long time, although Xu Chu was in charge of the food, but the food in the house was really unpalatable, Xun Chen barely ate a few bites, and now he is hungry.

"Tomoruo."

Suddenly, he heard someone calling him, Xun Chen looked back, and saw Zhong Yan waving at him with a spring breeze on his face. Zhong Yan and Zhong Jin because their brother Zhong Xiang is too famous, has always had a sense of 'pearl dust', and now Zhong Yan has been turned into the county governor's post, and he inspects the scenery of the counties every day for a while, and it is not strange that he likes to be colorful.

But in the eyes of Xun Chen, who prides himself on the city government, compared to Zhong Yuanchang's unfazed situation, Zhong Yan's cultivation is slightly insufficient. He smiled lightly and asked what was the matter.

Zhong Yan said: "The prince of the house is young, but he has the skills of today's hall, which is unbelievable. ”

Xun Chen put away his smile, "Although Fujun is young and promising, Xu Shu and Guo Jia are even more unexpected. Xun Chen didn't believe that with Xu Chu's background, he could complete the transformation from one county to one county in a short period of time. Although there are factors that create heroes in the current situation, according to the understanding of recent days, Guo and Xu have played an immeasurable role in it.

Liangping Yellow Turban, contacting the Yingchuan Wang clan, guiding all the way, Xun Chen empathized, he couldn't do Guo and Xu. Looking at the Yingchuan clan, it seems that only Chen Qun, his brother Xun Yu and Zhong Yan's brother Zhong Xuan can have this ability.

Zhong Yan nodded and said, "These two are indeed great talents. ”

Xun Chen suddenly remembered some details and asked, "Have you ever noticed that Guo Fengxiao is very close to those Han scholars during the discussion. Moreover, the number of Han scholars used by the government is a bit unusual. ”

"Really?" Zhong Yan said, "If you are too worried, Guo Fengxiao was born in a poor family, and it is reasonable to be good friends with Han Shi." Besides, the government used those cold soldiers, all of whom were small officials, so it didn't hurt. ”

Xun Chen turned his head and rolled his eyes, Zhong Yan's alertness was really low enough. I didn't want to talk to him anymore, and was about to say goodbye, Zhong Yan suddenly pulled his sleeve and asked in a low voice: "The prince of the mansion intends to smelt iron, how will your Xun clan deal with it?" ”

Xun Chen was taken aback, "Salt and iron are the important weapons of the country, and the government and the county have it, which is the right principle that has not changed for thousands of years, of course, I fully support it." ”

Zhong Yan said strangely: "If you don't know? ”

"Know what?"

"Xun's also has a private iron ore ......"

Xun Chen hurriedly signaled Zhong Yan to silence, he really didn't know that his family had been involved in the iron mine. Such as Xun Chen, Xun Yan, Xun Yu, Xun Yue, etc., the clan has never allowed them to manage mundane affairs, and it is a good thing to concentrate on studying. And his father Xun Qi, named the patriarch, in fact, because of his body and personality, he rarely directly intervenes in specific affairs, and only holds a clan meeting once a quarter to listen to the clansmen's reports and discuss things.

Thinking of this, Xun Chen's slightly gloomy eyes revealed a hint of chill. Nine times out of ten, the clansmen are involved in the iron smelting matter, but the prince of the mansion solemnly refuses to enshrine Zhang as Jin Cao Peng, will he secretly have the intention of finding the handle of the family?

"I'll take my leave." Xun Chen was anxious to write back to Yingyin and said to Zhong Yan.

"If you walk slowly, contact us in time if there is any situation." Zhong Yandao.

……

……

On the other hand, Zhang Feng was also talking to Xu Chu about the troubles of the iron mine.

Xu Chu didn't expect that the huge profits of the iron mine would make the Yingchuan clan also fall into it, that's right, the matter of recovering iron smelting was initiated by him, he didn't know the inside story, Guo Jia, as a native of Yingchuan, couldn't not know. Since Guo Jia knew, why didn't he tell him?

Xu Chu couldn't help but slander whether the Zhang family also stretched out his hand into this troubled water.

After asking, Zhang Fenglao's face was slightly red, and he nodded uncomfortably.

Xu Chu's head is as big as a fight, and as soon as the words of rectifying the iron matter are released, the new Jin Cao Peng has problems in itself, which is too ironic.
