Chapter 73: The Governor's Name (4000 Words Chapter)

Huang Xiong was promoted. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

For Liu Yuanshan, it is a big event, not that it will have any impact on his career and future, but once Huang Xiong is promoted and reassigned, it will naturally be much easier for him to do something in Fang County.

"What position is Lord Huang promoted?" Liu Yuanshan seemed to be careless, but he was actually ecstatic.

"Lord Huang's life is good, the officials said that they were going to Changsha Mansion." Liu Xin was not calm, and Liu Yuanshan could hear the envy.

"Changsha Mansion?"

"Yes, Changsha Mansion has been sentenced, this time it is a second level in a row!"

Huang Xiong was only a magistrate of the seventh grade before, and now he has been promoted to the general judge of Changsha Prefecture, which is the position of the sixth grade, Liu Xin said that he was promoted by two levels, which is not wrong.

Moreover, since the end of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty has been plagued by famines, and the northern region is basically in a state of overall hunger.

But Changsha is different.

Changsha is not the capital of a province like Xiangyang Prefecture, but it is located south of the Yangtze River, and it belongs to the place where the famine and war do not last.

This can understand why Liu Xin said that Huang Xiong's life is good.

"When does Lord Huang plan to take up his post?" Liu Yuanshan stretched his waist and asked.

"Alas......"

Liu Xin didn't answer his question first, but sighed first, and said, "It is said that the Changsha Mansion is in a hurry, and in order to hand over the local government affairs as soon as possible, Lord Huang may have to leave for it in the next few days." ”

"Huh?" Liu Yuanshan was shocked, jumped up from his chair, and said, "How can this be the case, he is in a hurry to hand over to Changsha Mansion, but doesn't there be a need for the handover of the government affairs of this county?" ”

It stands to reason that when Huang Xiong leaves office, the most urgent thing should be his own handover, why are he still worried about others?

"Lord Huang really cares about others......" Liu Yuanshan couldn't help but sigh.

Liu Xin slapped the table angrily and said, "I've never seen such a shameless person when I'm pregnant with someone else." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Liu Xin tried her best to calm down and told the reason little by little.

It turned out that Huang Xiong's goods had been plundered by thieves in the post station before, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to say it when it was handed over, so he wanted to slip away in advance, because now the successor of Fang County has not yet been determined, and it also gave him a chance to slip away.

But the handover is still the handover, and it can't just be just left.

Of course, Lord Huang has a way.

Aren't you Liu Xin a county magistrate, aren't you still there? Well, you just stay and take care of the handover.

Moreover, in order to be justified, Huang Xiong actually used his connections to get Liu Xin a great name from Xiangyang Mansion: acting magistrate!

Daizhi County sounds good, but Liu Xin knows that it is not so simple, and if he doesn't do it well, he will become a big wrongdoer.

Therefore, he did not agree, and Huang Xiong later used his relationship to pressure him and force him to agree.

Liu Yuanshan laughed after hearing the cause and effect of the matter, and said, "Is Lord Liu worried about this matter?" ”

"Exactly?"

"It's easy!" Liu Yuanshan smiled and handed Liu Xin a glass of water.

Liu Xin asked: "How easy is it, the old man is dying of sorrow." ”

"Haha!" Liu Yuanshan patted his chest and said: "Although Lord Liu can rest assured, this matter is on San Lang, if the successor is selected by the county, the handover will ensure that the adult is safe." ”

"Is that true?" Liu Xin's heart instantly churned.

He thought about it a lot, and even thought that the big seal in the county should have been hijacked by the young man in front of him.

However, as smart as he is, he naturally will not say it.

"Okay, good, so, thank you Saburo!"

……

A few days later, Huang Xiong, the lord of Huang, finally left Fang County with his family and the heavy luggage that weighed the big boat, and walked from the Malan River towards Xiangyang Mansion under the send-off of a group of local tyrants.

Lord Huang is gone, with his dreams and family, as well as the great harvest in Fang County in the past few years.

At the same time, a dark ship followed, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, and there were not many people on board, but everyone was dressed in black night clothes, with strong figures, and black spears in their hands.

As a result, Lord Huang's ship was robbed by local robbers, and all the gold and silver were missing, but fortunately, there was nothing big for others.

Although he was furious about this matter, he dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and he couldn't report to the official that he had lost tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver, right?

Huang Xiong left in a gray manner, but Liu Yuanshan laughed heartily.

It was not because of how much silver Huang had been hijacked, but not long after Huang Xiong left, the Xiongguan built under Fang County finally finished pouring the last layer of concrete and was completed.

……

Early in the morning, Liu Yuanshan took several of his main management personnel, including his mentor Wang Xun, Song Yingxing, a science and technology maniac, and Liu Xin, Chen Chenglu, Chen Chengjue, Yuan Sishan, Zheng Yang, Qin Jiaoyu and other officials and scribes in the county government, and boarded this newly established pass together.

The time is close to the end of the year, and the cold wind in winter is as fierce as a knife, pouring in from the northwest wind one by one, slapping on everyone's body and face, especially at the highest point above the pass, everyone is almost shivering from the cold.

Liu Yuanshan walked in the first place, his young figure was full of absolute confidence, looking at the 200-meter-long reinforced concrete city wall and the rippling Malan River below, laughing.

At this moment, he had the feeling of a fish leaping over the dragon gate and turning into a dragon, as if the last layer of restraint on his body had been untied, and he could finally wind and rain and rain, and he could soar in the vast and endless sky.

"Why is he in the first place, Lord Liu even knows that he is in the second place!" I don't know who muttered in a whisper, the voice was very small, I don't know if Liu Yuanshan heard it.

Even if Liu Yuanshan didn't hear it, someone next to him must have heard it, but it didn't resonate with others.

Xiongguan is mighty, the whole body is poured with reinforced concrete, perhaps this shoddy concrete can not meet the requirements of building materials in later generations, but in the Ming Dynasty, it can be called the most solid Xiongguan in the world.

The whole pass was a monolithic concrete wall, wide enough for horse-drawn carriages to travel, a breast wall in the middle, a huge gap across the river below, and a gate beside it, which could be lifted up and lowered by heavy steel pulleys for the passage of ships.

Such a majestic pass, according to the ancient standards of firepower and attack power, unless you climb up, it is unbreakable.

"What do you think, what do you think of this pass?"

Liu Yuanshan faced the biting north wind, wrapped the fox ball coat on his body, and squinted at everyone.

"This ......"

Everyone didn't know what to say for a moment?

"Okay, it's good, from now on, my Fang County will definitely be Jincheng Soup Pool!" Chen Chenglu's horse shot loudly, and he was the first to give this pass an evaluation.

"Well, both the height and the length are enough to compare with those famous passes, you see, this pass is inserted into the mountain walls on both sides on the left and right, it can be said that it is impossible to open it!"

Zheng Yang has now become Liu Yuanshan's most loyal lackey, so naturally he has to tout a few words.

"Looks good!" There are also people who pour cold water, such as Yuan Sishan, he is a scrivener in the workshop, his own business was robbed by Liu Yuanshan, and he has long been unpleasant to look at, although he doesn't dare to act blatantly against it, but it's always okay to pour cold water.

"I have heard that the walls were built with thin mud, and when the thin mud was dry, they were built up layer by layer. I wonder if it is stronger than a wall made of yellow mud and stone? ”

The concrete was thin mud at first, and this matter could not be hidden from his dignified workshop scrivener.

"Lord Yuan thinks that the pass I built is not strong enough?" Liu Yuanshan looked at him and asked.

"It's not that I think, look!" Yuan Sishan's hand was lightly forced, and the city wall deducted a wet piece of concrete that had just some strength for him.

Nima!

Liu Yuanshan's head was dark, this was just poured before dawn, and now that the strength has not come up, naturally there is nothing firm to speak of.

With a gloomy face, he pulled out a sharp steel knife from his waist and said to the city wall: "Since Lord Yuan suspects that the pass I built is not strong, then I will show you!" ”

"Click!" A bang.

Liu Yuanshan's high-held steel knife fell, cutting right at the battlement of the city wall below, where the concrete was not poured last night, it had solidified and its strength had reached the standard.

Sparks flew everywhere, and steel knives slashed at the city wall, and it was only a gap the size of a bean.

"This ......"

Many people are not calm at all.

This is repayable, compared to the steel knife, you can jump out of the spark after entering, where is this still a city wall, this is a stone.

Someone walked over, picked up a brick from the ground, and thought about tapping the battlement twice, making a crisp sound.

"Stone!" The man looked shocked: "Oh, this is a man-made stone." ”

"Awesome!" Chen Chenglu was just a compliment just now, but now he is really shocked.

"No matter how many soldiers can't bite this city wall!"

The crowd was talking.

Yuan Sishan's face was a little embarrassed, and Song Yingxing was thoughtful.

Liu Yuanshan didn't bother with these little things, and waved his hand and said, "Okay, in two days, the entire Xiongguan will become as hard as a stone, no, it should be harder than a stone!" ”

"Now, Fang County can be described as a real peace of mind!" Xu Liang, a hundred households of Jinshan Wei, stood by the city wall, looked at the soup and flowing water below, and said: "If it is really as San Lang said, it is 100,000 and 200,000 displaced people, and this pass is enough to resist, and Fang County will not return to the disaster of Yun County." ”

"That's it!" Liu Yuanshan replied with a smile.

"If there is enough food, grass and armament, there will be three hundred garrisons on this pass." Xu Liang suddenly had a strange thought, and said, "When I go back, I will transfer some of the sergeants in Jinshan Weizhong, which can be defended!" ”

Liu Yuanshan heard his words, and a sneer broke in his heart.

Are you stupid to me?

After working hard to build a level with strong defense, did you get the result of giving you Jin Shanwei? You don't pay attention to the appearance of eating ready-made food.

But Jinshanwei is the only military guard in the orthodox sense of the county, and no one can say one, two, or three if they take over the pass, even Liu Yuanshan can't oppose it openly.

He smiled and said: "This is natural, but now the disaster of the displaced people has not yet affected our Fang County, so that there is no need to enter the country with great fanfare, San Lang suggested that General Xu first collect the bandits in Fang County, but then settle in this Xiongguan, which is naturally justified." ”

Xu Liang thought for a while, nodded deeply, and said: "It's okay, it's just that this time is different from the past, the bandits in the county are getting bigger and bigger, and there are no less than 2,000 people gathered at the place where the sky is overturning, although Jin Shanwei has the heart, but he is also powerless." ”

"It's okay!" Liu Yuanshan got off the donkey down the slope: "The general requisitioned the bandits, for my Liu family, it can be said that there is no harm in it, the kid will naturally help the general with all his might, and when the time comes, the regiment under my command will be used by the general, and he can accompany the expedition and suppression." ”

"Yes, too!" Xu Liang frowned, thought for a long time and finally agreed.

He thought about it quite far-reachingly: among the gentry who have regimental training in Fang County now, only Liu Yuanshan and the Ye family give him a headache. Very simply, the Liu family's regiment has more than 500 soldiers, and it has also taken in thousands of displaced people, which can be described as a first-class force.

The Ye family is not simple, although it lost a lot of manpower last time, but now the vitality has finally recovered, and there are some better than before.

The rest are the two bandits hiding in the deep mountains, one is the Heavenly Dragon, the other is the Demon King of the Mixed World, each of the bandits is not less than 2,000 people, not only extremely strong in combat, but also fierce.

If you count them together, his Xu Liang's Jin Shanwei power can be ranked fifth.

How does this work?

Now that Liu Yuanshan has personally agreed to suppress the bandits, it is better to let this goods be used as cannon fodder, and when the time comes, the Liu family's regiment and the bandits will be defeated, and Jin Shanwei will naturally be able to control the overall situation.

"Hahahaha......"

A hearty laugh suddenly came from the inner staircase of Xiongguan, "Lord Xu wants to recruit and suppress bandits, and my Ye family will naturally do my part, the Ye family will be a soldier, and I will listen to my lord's dispatch." ”

Xu Liang's eyes lit up, and he saw three figures, one old and two young, coming up from below.

It is the three members of the Ye family, the old one is Ye Xiang, and the younger one is Ye Yunhe and Ye Yunsheng.

"Thank you, Mr. Ye!" Xu Liang smiled slightly and arched his hand towards Ye Xiang.

"If Lord Xu doesn't dislike it, the old man can also send a group of soldiers over first to help the adults guard this pass, and the adults can rest assured that they will suppress the bandits, and my Ye family is willing to be a shield behind the adults."

Ye Xiang looked at Xiongguan, his eyes lit up, and he walked towards everyone with a smile.

There is one to eat ready-made!

Liu Yuanshan snorted coldly in his heart, but he didn't say anything to Ye Xiang.

Ye Xiang and Xu Liang saw the salute, and then saluted the officials, and then looked at Liu Yuanshan, who was standing against the city wall, looking at the soup and flowing water, and said: "San Lang is really hard, leading everyone to build such a majestic pass, Ye and the people of the county are grateful to San Lang." ”

"No, Mr. Ye is outside!" Liu Yuanshan retracted his gaze and said lightly.

"Hahaha!" Ye Xiang laughed again and said to him: "There is also good news to congratulate San Lang, this time the construction of Xiongguan not only built a defense for the people of Fang County, but also won the approval of the governor, in order to commend the Liu family's achievements this time, the governor personally wrote a letter to give the name to the pass!" ”

Nani?

When Liu Yuanshan heard this, his face turned dark.

The pass built by Lao Tzu, why do you want the governor to give it a name?
