After separating from Zhao Jinyu, Su Heng spent a whole month to arrive at Lingnan County, Lingnan County is far away from the mountains, and the terrain is as complex as Danyang, most of them are hills and swamps, and Lingnan County is a remote and poor place among the thirteen counties of Dachu, and life here is relatively poor.

Starting from Jingshi Shouyang to Lingnan, passing through Danyang in the middle, Xu Zhirong also returned to Danyang after Shouyang and Zao Wou-Ki reported and continued to serve as his Danyang Taishou.

However, Xu Zhirong and Su Heng said that over the years, this Taishou has always been frightened and cautious, and now that the bandits in Guanshan are gone, the next step is to be a big corrupt official with peace of mind.

Big corrupt official, this is Xu Zhirong's evaluation of himself, he said bluntly, saying that he studied hard for more than ten years in order to be promoted and make a fortune, but he never ate alone when he got rich, but took everyone in Danyang County to get rich together.

Isn't it nice for everyone to be harmonious and strive for their common interests?

Thinking of Xu Zhirong's treacherous expression, Su Heng was still a little funny, this Xu Zhirong's way of being an official was too advanced, and it was simply a self-defeating way to put it in this era, but his prestige in Danyang was unmatched, the rich businessman gave him money, the people looked at him and collected the money, and in the end, both of them said that he was a good official.

Perhaps it is precisely because he is a corrupt official who has done too blatantly, even if he has made a lot of contributions over the years, he has always stopped at the position of being too guarded, and it is difficult to go further.

When Su Heng led the mixed 50,000 Guanshan troops to Lingnan County, he was also welcomed by local officials.

The 20,000 troops recruited in the Beijing division plus the 30,000 Guanshan army were directly mixed together by Su Heng, collectively referred to as the Guanshan army.

"Xiaguan Wen Sitong meets Mr. Su." Lingnan Taishou Wen Sitong took the officials of Lingnan County to welcome Su Heng's arrival on the official road.

Wen Sitong, a member of the Shouyang Wen family.

Speaking of the Wen family, I will definitely think of the contemporary head of the Wen family, when the court is still the secretary of the Wen family, Wen Qing'an.

Wen Qing'an, talented, talented, and even more proficient in the way of officials, was named Shangshuling in the age of thirty, and now it has only been six years, but his prestige in the court is rarely matched, and the saint now trusts him even more.

It is said that this Shang Shuling has an excellent relationship with the second prince Zhao Wencheng.

As a member of the Wen family, Wen Sitong did not dare to use some small means against him with the prestige of the Wen family after he took up his post in Lingnan, and he himself was good at finding the right and left, so he quickly established a solid foundation in Lingnan County.

After Wen Sitong served as the Lingnan Taishou, what gave him the most headache was the contradiction between the local Confucian school and the barbarians.

The group of Confucian scholars don't look at the way of a gentleman all day long, but secretly they hold grudges and keep making things difficult for those barbarians.

The barbarians are irritable, and it is nothing to give them a bite to eat and let them do some physical work honestly, but this group of scholars likes to insult a few words when they are fine, and even more so, they will wave a horsewhip and whip it a few times, which causes the contradictions to become more and more serious, and there are often riots, and then they send officials and soldiers to suppress it, so repeatedly, he is a little tired.

Having said that, Wen Sitong wanted to enter the center of the capital to serve, so he often curried favor with the local Confucians, and he believed that as long as he curried favor with the Confucian people, plus the efforts of the capital family, it was not a pipe dream to serve in the capital.

For the dream of being a Beijing official, anyone who comes from the capital, he will put his posture very low, not seeking to please the other party, but only asking the other party not to make him bad in the court.

Su Heng is a person under the Nine Emperor Princes, and the Nine Emperor Princes' power in the court has grown extremely fast recently, so he is naturally one of the people Wen Sitong needs to please.

Besides, he led an army of 50,000 this time to help him quell the barbarian rebellion, so he naturally had to be polite.

Before Su Heng came to Lingnan, he also inquired more or less about the situation of the local officials, and knew that this Wen Sitong was an official fan, but the attitude of the people was so low, he was not arrogant, and hurriedly dismounted and returned the salute.

After saluting each other, Wen Sitong couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Su came from afar, and he has worked hard all the way, I don't know that Mr. Su personally led the army this time but plans to annihilate the Nanban in one fell swoop?" ”

Wen Sitong naturally understood some of Su Heng's situation very well, from being ringed by the Nine Emperor Princes to the victory in several battles in Guanshan, he knew all of this, plus he heard some gossip that His Majesty was also tired of the situation in Lingnan County, and planned to send Su Heng to solve it completely this time.

Solve it completely, isn't that to wipe out those barbarians in one fell swoop? Many officials in Lingnan County think so, especially the local Confucian people are extremely happy, in the early years, they asked Zao Wou-Ki to annihilate the Nanban in one fell swoop, but Zhao Wou-Ki used various reasons to retreat, and now since he intends to completely solve it, doesn't that mean that the saint is planning to completely exterminate the barbarians?

Looking at the excited looks flashing in the eyes of the officials of Lingnan County, Su Heng's scalp was also a little numb, he understood why Zao Wou-Ki let him make this knife; If you tell the real purpose of this time, wouldn't you be offending the people of Lingnan County to death?

Confucianism is deeply rooted in Lingnan County, and many officials are from the Confucian faction.

"I'm a little tired here, let's discuss the matter of dealing with Nanban later, you adults are probably tired too, let's go down and rest." Su Heng thought about it and planned to stabilize these people first, but did not say the real purpose for the time being.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Su must be tired from running all the way, so we won't bother and say goodbye." The officials present were all more acquainted with each other, and they said goodbye to each other and left, Wen Sitong naturally would not let go of this opportunity to stammer, and immediately invited Su Heng to go to Taishou Mansion to rest, while the 50,000 Guan Shan troops stayed outside the city to camp and rest.

Although many of the officials of the thirteen counties of Great Chu have selfish intentions, they are still doing a good job in the area of honesty, under the iron-blooded management of Zao Wouji, there are rarely such corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but it is difficult to find a second one like Xu Zhirong, and the luxurious and beautiful Taishou Mansion like Xu Zhirong is no longer separated.

The Taishou Mansion in Lingnan County is very ordinary, but it is more spacious, and the decorations inside are all ordinary people can see.

No, along the way, Si Tong kept asking Su Heng about the latest situation in the capital, although there was a flying pigeon to pass the book, he could also know the situation of the Beijing Division, but the news came too late, and he waited too hard.

Since this Wen Sitong is so keen on the position of Jingguan, he can open a gap in him, Su Heng glanced at Wen Sitong, who was still chattering there, and began to calculate in his heart.
