"Just let that one go on?" Qu'a County Commander Qu Lin arrived later, and as soon as he got off the horse, he saw a group of colleagues crowding around the county Cheng Chen Liang except for the government office, and asked a rough idea of what happened. He said: "No matter what, the old boss has planned a three-year plan for the county, and no matter how you look at it, it will make Huiji County a prosperous county." ”

As long as the good thing is not so stupid that the doctor can actually know it, is Zhang Er stupid? How could a guy who was once able to climb above 10,000 people under one person be a fool!

"Maybe I should write to my old boss?" Huang Zhan, the county magistrate of Wucheng County, hesitated to finish speaking, and Chen Liang immediately spoke.

"Don't do anything just yet." Chen Liang didn't say anything about Zhang Er's actions to oppress people, but he knew very well that once the matter became big, it was not clear whether Zhang Er would be punished, and they were estimated to lose their officials.

The government affairs of Huiji County itself is a non-clear matter, Zhang Cheng may feel that he is doing it very right, but from Zhang Er's point of view, it is different.

"We try to cooperate with the county guard as much as possible and deal with things as plainly as possible." Chen Liang muttered: "What the county guard needs is someone to respond to the call of the center to move the border county. ”

Several county magistrates and county magistrates all sighed lowly, and everyone's faces were more tangled.

If a subordinate oversteps his superiors and sues his superiors, whether he wins or loses, the guilt of the following crimes will be established in itself. They are a civilian-bureaucratic system, even if they are not removed from their official positions when they make such a fuss, they can continue to develop in the officialdom in the future, and no boss will give them a good look, and the official career will definitely become extremely bumpy. If it is in the military attaché system, it is a crime to cut off the head if the following is committed, after all, the strictness of the relationship between the military and the subordinate is like that.

When they heard the news, they hurried to the news, and they really wanted to serve the people? Some people may be like this, but I'm afraid it's not necessarily true to say everything. The three-year plan of Huiji County left by Zhang Cheng is conducive to development, which is equivalent to giving them a plan to create political achievements, and Zhang Er's idea of change is the reason why they reacted so violently. Everyone knows that working with the boss is a stain in the end, whether it succeeds or not. As a result, concerns arise.

A group of people softened and decided not to work with Zhang Er, so they didn't have any sense of secrecy, they didn't know that they were all seen by people who were interested in talking.

In the end, they came up with a way that made sense, and some of the villages that had already started planting fruit trees did their best to keep them, and those that resisted the edict of planting fruit trees...... If you don't listen to anything, there's no need to keep it, right?

A group of people gathered quickly, and it was not slow for them to go their separate ways and return to the office. When Zhang Er learned that those county orders and county magistrates had gone back, the sneer on the corner of his mouth was not concealed at all.

"If all of them are really dedicated to the people, the old man can still have admiration......" Zhang Er knows that there are very few officials like that, after all, he is a person with enough experience: "I think they should be able to obey the old man's arrangement peacefully, but they still need to choose someone to kill the chicken and make an example, who is better?" ”

Zhang Er knew very well that it was not appropriate to engage Chen Liang, after all, Chen Liang was a county prince, and even if he brought it down, the impact would be too great. Then he can only choose a county magistrate or county magistrate, and there is no one to choose who to choose. Just wait to see who will be the least obedient to the order when the time comes.

"After killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, the previous Zhang Cheng's irons also need to be disposed of one by one." Zhang Er's handling was definitely not murder or anything, he pulled the beard on his chin: "Isn't there a lack of parent officials in the border county?" At the end of the year, give them an excellent. Highlight their abilities again, and recommend them to the border counties without leaving a trace. ”

What is politics ~ governance ~ fighting experience? This is called politics ~ governance ~ fighting for experience!

Zhang Cheng knew that he was for the good of Huiji County, so he had arrangements before leaving, which made Zhang Er extremely depressed after taking office; Zhang Er, who was depressed, knew that he couldn't change his strategy. After all, Zhang Er also knew that such development would be of great benefit to Huiji County, but Zhang Er just couldn't bear to be unable to do anything for three years, so he began to think of other ways to make political achievements. Then a large number of people are involved, Zhang Cheng doesn't know and won't be depressed?

Just as Zhang Er was arranging his calculations and was about to take them out for execution, a person came over.

The person who came was Zhang Er's former friend in the Zhao period, and his name was Ben Hao.

Ben Hao was a middle-aged man of about forty years, and he had served as a military general and a magistrate in the Zhao State. How so? He didn't have a very good record as a general, but he never had a very ugly defeat, and it can only be said that he was even. As a local civil official, he still can't govern the land of human happiness under his rule, but there is basically no problem in making most of the people under his rule have enough to eat.

Smoothness in everything is Ben Hao's characteristic, which is also what he thinks is the golden mean after learning Confucianism. Naturally, he came to Huiji County not because of an accident or anything, but out of official needs.

"But it's been a long time." Zhang Er was more emotional when he said this to Ben Hao, after the annexation of the Zhao State, most people turned their allegiance to the current emperor, but it was rare to be able to get together again. He looked at Ben Hao and asked, "Who is coming here this time?" ”

"I'm transferred." Ben Hao looked happy and said, "I was transferred to an island chain next to the Wajijima, and His Majesty called that island chain the Ryukyu Islands. ”

"Oh......" Zhang Er still knew the importance of the Japanese Islands to the empire, and said with his head bowed: "Great, in this way, in addition to flying in the sky, you can be regarded as having served on land and at sea." He was actually ridiculing when he said this.

"Not a transfer to the Navy." Ben Hao said with a smile: "It's the town that used to guard the place." ”

Zhang Er was a little stunned.

The Japanese Islands are more famous in the empire because of their rich gold and silver, and some guys who are not afraid of death even dare to sail flat inland river ships across the ocean, in order to find the so-called gold and silver, it seems that there are really some big guys who use unreliable ships to get to the Japanese Islands, and the places where they land after they go up have already been stationed on the imperial side, and after getting help, they go to the east of the islands.

It is true that the Wajichi are rich in gold and silver, but it is definitely not like the rumors that you can dig a pit to dig gold or silver, but one thing is true, that is, because the Wajima Islands are located on a number of extinct volcanoes, and these volcanoes may have erupted for a period of time in the past, and the land on them is really not ordinarily fertile.

Zhang Er only knew that the Wa Islands were very important to the empire, and the rest of the affiliated islands, even those that did not belong to the Wa Islands, did not have much of a concept.

"What is there to guard?" Zhang Er's face was full of confusion: "Could it be that the empire wants to move people to the island?" ”

"Ugh. There are a lot of savages over there, and after Governor Kuai reported, His Majesty said that those people are the descendants of the ancient Chinese Miao descendants, and they can be regarded as our own people. Ben Hao explained and said happily: "There are about 20,000 indigenous people. However, this is not the point, it is that after the governor ordered people to explore, he found that there was a natural port over there, and he intended to build a transit port there. The lieutenant general of the Beiyang Fleet also seems to think that it is a pity that such a good port is not used as a military port, and I heard that it can connect an island called Guam or something, and it is also of great use to the Beiyang Fleet. ”

"The Northern Fleet?" Zhang Er thought about it for a moment. Remembering some bits and pieces, he said: "Didn't you say that many of the capital ships of the Beiyang Fleet are going to be transformed into transport ships?" The Beiyang Fleet does not have as many tasks as the Nanyang Fleet, I am afraid that it will be difficult to replenish new ships in a short period of time, what kind of achievements do you want to make, please ask Your Majesty to replenish the main warships of the Beiyang Fleet as soon as possible, right? ”

Ben Hao smiled and did not speak. He knows that Zhang Er is like this, saying that Sven is called the arrogance or character of a literati or something, and the ugly point is that he has a hard personality and inexplicable pride, and it is one thing to like to comment on others, and he will ridicule some people who are not very affordable.

The good and the bad are the commanders of a fleet. The title is also to the fifth-class viscount, Ben Hao thinks that although Zhang Er is the county guard of a place, the rank of the county guard of the civil official group is not higher than the commander of a fleet, how can Zhang Er himself be a fourth-class baron, how can he say that a person with a higher title than himself and has really made some achievements?

Zhang Er saw that Ben Hao just smiled and didn't talk and didn't think much about it. He asked: "Then do you want to settle down in Wu County, or do you come to meet old friends and leave immediately?" ”

"Need to stay for a while." Ben Hao said with a satisfied face: "My responsibility this time is a bit special, to supervise the integration of the indigenous people. Then it was necessary to manage the construction, and it was even more necessary to lead the army to clean up some foreign races such as the Buyeo people and the Quwo people on the Ryukyu Islands. ”

Zhang Er opened his mouth, but the words did not come out. He began to feel a little jealous of Ben Hao in his heart.

It seems unreasonable to say that Zhang Er is jealous of Ben Hao, after all, although there is some construction in the place where Ben Hao is going to take office, it is actually basically no different from the wild land. And Zhang Er is a county guard of more than 1.3 million large counties, and it is really funny to look at a person who is not as good as the local county commander.

The problem is that many things are not simply like that, there are not many officials in the empire who are in charge of both the army and the people, and every time there is one, it is equivalent to a signal that the center has deliberately cultivated, don't look at Ben Hao in recent years, he may be in charge of a broken island where birds don't, as long as he can live up to the expectations of Kuaitong and Bianliang, and then he can integrate the descendants of thousands of Chinese ancestors on the Ryukyu Islands, and he has political achievements, so he can't say that Kuaitong, Bianliang, and even Xiao He will recommend to the emperor.

"Having said that, I saw some strange things on the way to Wu County." Ben Hao asked seemingly casually: "Is the population census all over Huiji County?" ”

Strange, it was the empire that only completed the census last year, and the counties had already summarized the latest data to the center.

Ben Hao couldn't understand how Zhang Er could do something to waste administrative resources, after all, it is really not so easy to census the population in any era, and there will really be many problems that will evolve because of the census population, and there may even be conflicts between the official and the people. On the way here, he saw the public security escorting some people more than once, and after a little inquiry, he even heard that there was bloodshed, and he really didn't understand what Zhang Er was going to do.

Stability within the empire has been maintained for a long time, not in the years when war has just ended. In the years of war, it is relatively common for officials to clash with civilians, after all, people's hearts are unstable in times of war, and the credibility and deterrence of the government are minimized, and the fear of civilians against the authorities will be minimized. But the empire has been stable for so long, and the credibility and deterrence that it should have can be said to be getting higher and higher day by day.

Zhang Er said indifferently: "Some remnants of Baiyue who are hiding in the mountains and forests. ”

“……？” Ben Hao couldn't understand it a little, he was confused: "Huiji County was a territory crossed in the early days, and it was later destroyed by the Wu State, and the Wu State was swallowed by the Chu State, but that was hundreds of years ago, right?" ”

What do you mean? It is nothing more than that Huiji County has been included in the Chinese system for a very, very long time, and the former Yue people, savages, barbarians, etc., have been integrated after so long of precipitation. In addition, Huiji County can be said to be a territory that the Chu State attaches more importance to, because Huiji County is relatively close to the southeast, even if Baiyue wants to encroach on Huiji County, it will not be able to pour in under the guard of the Qin army.

According to Ben Hao's knowledge, after the Qin State incorporated Huiji County into its rule, the Qin State attached no bad importance to Huiji County, and the place where the Qin army was stationed in the southeast was relatively much Huiji County. There is an additional reason why the Qin army has many garrisons in Huiji County, in addition to the fact that Huiji County is a large county for smelting metals, that is, the continuous search for the Xiang family.

Zhang Er didn't want to say more, and quickly moved the topic to other directions, but he didn't know that what he had done in the near future would change his life, and the person who was about to change his fate was running.

The man running between the mountains and forests was a young man of seventeen or eighteen, his hair was scattered, his clothes were torn, and the left lute bone seemed to have been slashed.

The young man is a mountain resident in the northwest of Yangxian County, and his family of seven is a grandmother, a pair of parents and three younger sisters. If their family has to be counted seriously, the ancestors are indeed of Baiyue Miao descendants, but that was more than 200 years ago. For more than 200 years, because of the living customs and ideological values, they have moved closer to the Chinese system, and they have been constantly married or something, no matter how they look at it, they are not the remnants of Baiyue.

Just such a family, perhaps counting the thirty or so families in a village, to be honest, do not cooperate with the government very much, it should be said that the living environment of most mountain people has created their strong physique and character, compared to those who cultivate the fields, they are naturally more courageous to confront the government.

This time, Zhang Er ordered a census of the population, and the people of the village originally wanted to cooperate, but the little officials who came down were too arrogant, and Ah Niu in the village just muttered "What to drag", and it immediately turned into a big event...... (To be continued.) )
