As the people came, a middle-aged man wearing an official hat and an official uniform walked over unhurriedly from the side, followed by several officials, who were the county of this county.

Yang Pu is forty years old, a big fat man, with a long fat head and big ears, a bulging belly, every step forward, his hands are always holding his stomach, like a woman is pregnant, and a pair of small eyes reveal a shrewdness.

Li Afu glanced back, and when he saw that it was the county Cheng Yangpu coming, he immediately turned over and jumped off the horse, and hurriedly put his hands behind his back and made a gesture to his entourage, signaling them to dismount quickly.

"It turned out that Yang County Cheng was here, the little one was far away, and I hope that Yang County Cheng will forgive his sins!" Li Afu is very discerning, and has followed his master Li Cheng for many years, and he has contributed a lot to the matter of Li's marriage to King Chen, and he is deeply loved by Li Cheng. Although he is a house slave, he is much more advanced than the ordinary Li Mansion house slaves, and his status in the Li Mansion is second only to Bai Yuan and the great housekeeper of the Li Mansion, so whatever Li Mansion does, he is basically asked to lead the team to run errands, so he knows more people.

Wujiang County was originally a small county, with only county orders and county lieutenants, and no county officials.

After the Eight Kings Rebellion, more and more people moved south from the north, which increased the population of the south a lot, and the vast majority of them did not choose to cross the Yangtze River because of their attachment to their homeland, but temporarily stayed north of the Yangtze River, hoping that one day the imperial court would regain the lost territory, and they could return to their former homeland.

However, because the geographical location of Wujiang County is very unique, it can not only be far away from the Central Plains dominated by Yuzhou, Yanzhou and other places, but also close to the Jiangnan of the imperial court, so it has become one of the places where most of the northern people move south. Therefore, the population of Wujiang County gradually increased, and the imperial court set up the post of county magistrate in the county to serve as an assistant to the county magistrate and help the county magistrate deal with some county political affairs.

Yangpu is the county leader of the county, and its status is second only to the county order Huanyi, but it is higher than other officials, and it is the second-in-command in the county. He was not a native of Wujiang County, but Chen Liu, whose ancestral home was Yanzhou, who moved from the north during the Eight Kings Rebellion.

Don't look at Yang Puchang's fat head, big ears and brains, but he is a famous scholar, and he is very organized, on the way from Chenliu to Wujiang County, it is inevitable that there will be some outlaws attacking, or killing people and goods, or robbing money, the people have suffered a great threat. In order to deal with these threats, Yang Pu stood up decisively, he organized all the people, selected young and middle-aged people to form a guard team, protected the old and weak, women and children, and passed through the state and county in an orderly manner along the way, not only did not bring any trouble to the state and county on the road, but also cracked down on those lawbreakers many times.

Originally, the team organized by Yangpu was very small, only limited to the people of Chenliu who moved south, but in the process of moving south, people from other counties and counties continued to join this organized team of displaced people along the way, so that this team continued to grow, and finally reached more than 10,000 people.

After arriving in Wujiang County, Yangpu chose to settle here temporarily, and did not continue to go south, and most of the people who moved south with him along the way also chose to stay here, after all, it was because of Yangpu that they were taken care of and successfully arrived in Wujiang County.

The population of Wujiang County suddenly increased by more than 10,000 people, which also brought a lot of pressure to the county order of Wujiang County, and the county order did not want Yangpu and others to stay here, so he went to Yangpu to negotiate, and wanted Yangpu to continue to move south with these people. But Yang Pu did not agree, but chose to settle here, he knew the county order's concerns, so he gave the county order a promise that he would be responsible for this group of migrants, and would let them restrain themselves and not cause trouble to the local county government.

The county order saw that they could not be driven away, so they wanted to use force to drive them away, but they did not want to stimulate the people's rebellion, and the displaced people surrounded the county government, when the county order was distressed, Yangpu found the county order, and the county order had a negotiation, and finally the county order had to accept Yangpu's suggestion, allowing more than 10,000 people to live in Wujiang County, but they must abide by the law, once there is a violation of law and discipline, the punishment will be doubled.

Yangpu for more than 10,000 people to obtain the right to live in Wujiang County, in the people of the voice is very high, the county order will play this situation to the imperial court, the imperial court after research, decided to set up a county here, and Yangpu became the first Wujiang County appointed by the imperial court.

After Yangpu became a county magistrate, he worked in this position for more than ten years, and sent away three county magistrates in his hands one after another, but no matter who was the county magistrate, Yangpu used to be a dove occupying the magpie's nest, and the county magistrate was the number one.

It wasn't until Huan Yi became the county magistrate of Wujiang County that this situation was reversed, Huan Yi became the real leader, and Yangpu, who was the county leader, was completely hollowed out.

Yangpu has worked hard in Wujiang County for so many years, and Huan Yi only served as a county magistrate for one year before he was put in the air, and I have to say that Huan Yi's methods are powerful. Although Yangpu had an atmosphere, he was helpless, and he could only endure it temporarily.

The discord between the county order and the county is no longer a matter of one or two days, as the county leader, Yangpu, has been in Wujiang County for more than ten years, and his unique connections are not scattered.

Li Cheng, Guo Xun, Zhao Mo and other heroes are inextricably linked with the county Yangpu, in addition, Yangpu in the salt industry and these three Haoqiang also have close ties, Liyang County's salt official Yang Jie is Yangpu's brother, under the operation of Yangpu, Li Cheng, Guo Xun, Zhao Mocai and Yang Jie got in touch, from Yang Jie to monopolize the salt industry in Wujiang County.

Therefore, as soon as Yang Pu appeared, Li Afu was so respectful and polite.

"Isn't this the Ah Fu of the Li Mansion? Why are you here so early in the morning? Yang Pu asked.

Li Afu said: "Qiqi Yang County Cheng, the little one went out of the city on the orders of the master, but it was too early at this time, and the city gate had not yet opened......

Yang Pu didn't wait for Li Afu to finish speaking, so he preemptively said: "The city gate will not be opened until the hour, this is an order from Huan County, the war in the north has been tight recently, Wujiang County is not too far from the border, lest the Hu people sneak into the city to destroy, so it is strictly ordered that the soldiers guarding the city must abide by their duties and not make any mistakes, not to mention you, even if it is me, there is no way for them to open the city gate at this time." ”

"What should I do then?" After Li Afu heard this, the whole person was like a deflated balloon.

"Wait, when the time comes, the city gate will naturally open, even if you are in a hurry, you are not in a hurry at this time, and now it is only half an hour away from the hour, just wait here."

Yang Pu glanced at the carriage when he spoke, he had a close relationship with Li Cheng, and had always been a guest of the Li Mansion, so he naturally recognized this carriage as Li Cheng's son, so he asked Li Afu: "Can the eldest son of the Li family be on the carriage?" ”
