Chapter 62: The Imperative
Gao Yue glanced around, and saw that his relatives were like Li Hu, all of them were worried, and he couldn't help laughing, and he didn't sell anything anymore, and said straight to the point: "This personnel transfer involves few personnel and has a small scope, so you can relax for the time being." ”
"I mean, after the meeting, I will send a letter and summon Han Yong and others to Xiangwu. The Shouyang County Order, served by Cao Mo, is in charge of the affairs of a county. Li Hu served as the Cheng of Shouyang County, only responsible for the military, assisting Cao Mo, and stabilizing the situation up and down Shouyang. ”
When Li Hu heard this, he was still very happy in his heart. Although he was transferred away from Gao Yue's side, he was about to take charge of himself, and this trust and responsibility were all heavy and full. He peeked at Cao Mo and saw that he was surprised, indicating that he had not learned the slightest bit of news in advance.
"The officials of the original county, large and small, I divided half of the number and went to Shouyang County to serve, and the rest stayed in Xiangwu." Gao Yue named more than a dozen names on the bed, and the people who were called hurriedly stood until they collapsed and bowed down.
"After you go to Shouyang County, you must abide by the law, be more aware of the people's conditions, and assist Mr. Cao to take care of the county's agricultural affairs as soon as possible. It's the end of the year, and you've been working hard for a few months, and when spring begins, everything will go according to plan, and you won't be at a loss or in a hurry. ”
Gao Yue said, leaned out on the couch, and said solemnly: "In life, if you can do a few things in a down-to-earth manner, you will have a clear conscience. This time, I am not to blame for the past, and I hope that you can change the past and stop the previous style of pomp and inaction. If I hear anything bad again, then don't blame my men for being ruthless, you know? ”
Those who were named, and the former county officials who were not named, no matter what they thought in their hearts, were busy bowing down when they heard the words, and said yes again and again.
Gao Yue looked at Cao Mo with an earnest gaze, "Sir, I am tired of you with the mundane affairs of a county, and I hope that Mr. will do his best to bear it." ”
Cao Mo was suddenly appointed by Gao Yue as the commander of Shouyang County, and he was surprised and dazed for a while, and he had not yet come back to his senses. However, he is already good at farming, and now that Gao Yue is so supportive and trusting, he can let go of his hands and feet without constraints or worries, and do what he wants to do, and his heart is extremely happy.
"The lord trusts and values him so much, his subordinates must do their best and dare not speak hard." Cao Mo straightened up, there was not a single wrinkle on his face that was not filled with a smile, "The subordinates also make a guarantee, and when the autumn harvest is in place next year, Shouyang County will definitely produce more than in previous years." ”
"Good. With land, people, and the government willing to help and supervise, agriculture will naturally flourish. Specifically, I am a layman, and my husband can do it at his own discretion, and I will not put any pressure on you. Gao Yue's voice was also filled with joy that could not be concealed.
Gao Yue slowly stood up, and Feng Liang supported him by the side.
"Ladies and gentlemen, three things have been said and done, and that's probably it. I don't know if you have anything to add, or any better suggestions. Gao Yue looked left and right and inquired.
Gong Cao Zhu Rong stood up, bowed first, and then said respectfully: "Tell the Ming Mansion." The subordinates have a foolish opinion, please Mingfu decide. ”
Mingfu is the honorific title of Taishou. Gao Yue smiled and said: "Zhu Gongcao, the official appointment of the imperial court has not been issued yet, I am not too guarded at present, the name of the Ming Mansion, it is not appropriate for the time being, so don't call it." ”
It's not too guarded, so how can you still appoint the subordinate county commanders. Zhu Rong thought so in his heart, and said yes again and again, saying that the lord was so loyal and loyal to the imperial court, he was really a model for my generation.
After a few words of flattery, Zhu Rong said: "According to the foolish opinion of his subordinates, it is natural and undoubted to give the court a table." However, the most urgent thing at the moment is that Shangtai is there, is it also necessary? ”
He didn't say anything later, but Gao Yue suddenly came to his senses, thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but lock his eyebrows slightly, and frequently bowed his head.
Shangqi is the capital of Tianshui County, and it is the seat of the entire Qinzhou. In the Jin Dynasty, Qinzhou Mu, the Right Prime Minister, the Great Sima, the Grand Governor, the Shizhong, the Governor of Shaanxi, and the Nanyang King Sima Bao were stationed here, controlling Qinzhou and dominating the northwest.
On the surface, Sima Bao only has one Qinzhou pastor, and he is Gao Yue's top boss. Privately, Gao Yue is on Sima Bao's territory, and now he has set aside a piece of land to stand on his own, don't you tell the master?
People say that the county officials are not as good as the current management. Sima Bao had 50,000 soldiers of Hu and Han, not only controlled Qinzhou, but even most of the Di and Qiang tribes in Longyou were dependent on him, and even Zhang Liang, the assassin of Liangzhou, also sent envoys to contribute to the good. Sima Bao's coercion and influence on Longxi County was far greater than that of Chang'an's imperial court.
Zhu Rong wanted to say that in addition to writing to the court, both public and private, he must also give Sima Bao a note. Moreover, it has to be respectful and humble in words.
If Sima Bao felt rude and disobedient, he would be furious, and it was very likely that he would send all his troops to attack Xiangwu. With Gao Yue's new forces that have not yet gained a firm foothold, and Sima Bao, who has been operating here for several years, there is basically no chance of winning.
When Gao Yue thought of this, he was shocked and exclaimed: "What Zhu Gongcao said is extremely true, at this level, I was negligent, I didn't expect it, thanks to Zhu Gongcao." ”
In fact, Zhu Rong and other county officials are not uneducated, nor are they without talent. In the former environment, everyone generally ate, drank and had fun, talked and did nothing, and whoever wanted to do some practical government affairs would be laughed at by everyone.
Now that the environment has changed, Shangguan is a pragmatic person like Gao Yue, and he is extremely disgusted with rhetoric and corpse vegetarian meals. Zhu Rong only learned from his previous vices, became cautious and careful, and took out some of them. Otherwise, if you can't be an official, you will be light, and you are afraid that your life will be ruined here.
Hearing Gao Yue's praise, Zhu Rong didn't even dare to say it, and his heart was a lot more stable and steady.
The scribe standing at the bottom of the right head, listening to the hand, had grasped the three things Gao Yue said, grasped the key points, and briefly recorded them on paper. Seeing that Gao Yue finished speaking, he handed over the paper full of words.
Gao Yue raised his eyes and swept over, there was no problem, so he nodded and said: "Find someone with beautiful writing, add some polish, write a recital, and hurry up to Qinzhou and Chang'an." ”
Everyone here, if you want to talk about learning, are all people who have studied poetry and books since childhood. When it comes to writing, it's all average. Gao Yue was sparse for the first time, if the writing was crooked or the words did not reach the meaning, which caused the dissatisfaction of the court or Sima Bao, and ruined the big thing, he could not afford it.
Everyone looked at each other. Someone suggested that he simply find a letter gentleman in the city, who specializes in catching letters on behalf of others, announcing the affairs of letters, is very proficient, and the pen is polished, and it is also very measured, and it can be safe.
Gao Yue agreed, so he arranged for someone to go to handle it quickly, and after it was written, he showed it to me, and at the latest after noon, he would send out the two letters as soon as possible.
After some instructions, Gao Yue said that the meeting was over, and asked everyone to retreat and go to do things on their own, but Li Hu and Li Bao were left, and after everyone withdrew, Gao Yue, Feng Liang and the Li family brothers were left in the room, a total of four people.
Gao Yue was silent for a while and said, "There are no outsiders here, and the three of you are the closest people to me. There are some words, open and spoken, and there will be no matter. Youwu, I know that you have always been obsessed with me about killing Gong Fufu, right? ”
Li Hu's character is Dawu, and Wu, which is Li Bao's expression. On weekdays, Gao Yue usually calls them Big Brother Li and Leopard, which is very intimate. The name is to express a kind of respect other than intimacy, and it has a more formal meaning.
When Li Bao heard this, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he said after a while: "I ......"
Seeing this, Li Hu hurriedly interjected: "Lord, the second child is not ......."
Gao Yue waved his hand and said to Li Huzhengse: "Brother Li, you don't have to talk much. You are his brother, do you want to shield him from the wind and rain for the rest of your life? Youwu is also a dignified man, do you want to explain what you really have in your heart? ”
Seeing that his brother was embarrassed and cramped, Li Bao retreated, and couldn't help gritting his teeth and saying, "I can't figure it out." Xiaofu grew up with us, and was killed by his own people for some reason. When I think of him, I feel very sad. ”
"Do you think I'm not upset?"
Gao Yue stood up suddenly, touched the wound, frowned tightly in pain, and Feng Liang hurriedly came over to support him wordlessly.
"But if I don't kill him, then the people's hearts and the army's spirit will fall apart, and then we won't even be able to become mountain people again! You should also understand this truth, but you can't turn a corner all of a sudden. ”
"As I said, you are all my closest people, how could I not trust and reuse you. Brother Li, you are about to take charge alone, don't be cowardly, cooperate well with Mr. Cao, he is an experienced and capable person, you must listen to his opinions more in everything, Shouyang is equal to our rear, hand it over to you, you have to take care of it. ”
"Youwu, I'm already thinking about giving you a heavy responsibility. Xiangwu's city defense armament, I plan to hand it over to Youwu and Sun Long to take charge of. The two of you, one old and one young, one new and one old, should be able to make up for each other when you match them. Martial arts your temperament, you have to be more restrained, Sun Long is a veteran, you must respect him in everything, and the most important thing is not to let these people be disgusted and suspicious. ”
"It's really difficult, it doesn't matter, I'm going to recruit Han Yong back and let him be your chief - let's all focus on business. Unnecessary worries and worries, don't have any more, from now on, our brothers will still work together to make a career. Remember, my heart for you is the same as it was before. ”
Looking at Gao Yue's sincere gaze, Li Hu wanted to speak, but the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he couldn't say a word. Li Bao was a little overwhelmed, and continued to say "Hey! Hey! Two sounds, as if he was sighing for something. Feng Liang was still silent, but slowly lowered his head.
The atmosphere was a little heavy for a while. Gao Yue cleared his throat and deliberately said loudly: "I have talked so much about public and private affairs, and my voice is hoarse and uncomfortable. Brothers, how do you know that you don't know the burden if you don't have a family! ”
Li Hu took advantage of the situation to take over, "Yun Song." On the table, I don't have to say anything about calling you the lord, but in private I still want to call you Yun Song. ”
Seeing Gao Yue nodding with a smile, Li Hu said again: "You are going to be too guarded when you see it." In the past, we dreamed of it for eight lifetimes, and we didn't dare to dream about it. It doesn't matter if you have a heavy burden, our brothers will do their best to help you, and we will definitely not let you carry it alone. ”
