Among Zhao Lei, Liu Ba, and Liao Li, Zhao Lei is the most sincere.

So the speed is also the fastest.

From Xiakou to Xiling, it only takes less than an hour for a fast horse. The carriage takes several hours. And although Zhao Lei dragged his family with him, he still used the fastest speed of the carriage and bumped all the way to Xiling City.

Today's Xiling City is very different, and there is an extra team of soldiers guarding the West City Gate. Moreover, there are two more clever officials.

However, after Jiao Xiang explained Liu Feng's advice to Jiang Wan, Jiang Wan temporarily dispatched two small officials to guard the door.

As soon as the carriages of Zhao Lei's family arrived, one of the two officials guarding the door immediately came up and asked familiarly: "This gentleman is from Xiangyang?" ”

"Exactly." Zhao Lei was surprised at first, and then thought that Liu Feng might have received the news that a large number of scholars were coming from Xiangyang and arranged in advance. I couldn't help but feel relieved.

Not to mention anything else, this heart that attaches importance to scholars is a fight with Liu Biao.

However, Liu Biao uses to take in scholars, but he will not use talents. Now Zhao Lei's only concern is this, what if Liu Feng doesn't use him, how can he go home?

It's too frustrating.

"If you are passing through Xiling, you can go to the city inn to rest. If you want to settle in Xiling, you can go to the city, and the official office of Lord Jiang Wan will be courtesy. The little official smiled.

"Thank you." Seeing that Zhao Lei was so thoughtful, he couldn't help but feel at ease in his heart, and raised his fist.

Immediately, under the eyes of the little official, several carriages entered Xiling City.

After entering Xiling, Zhao Lei first placed his family in an inn in the city, and then set off alone to Jiang Wan's official office.

The main bookkeeper is actually the Taishou Mansion in essence. The documents drafted by Liu Feng and all kinds of orders were issued from the official office of the chief bookkeeper.

At this moment, Jiang Wan was handling official business in the study.

With the passage of time, the more people in Jiangxia counties are divided and digested. At present, the 100,000 people who have been resettled in Jiangxia south of the Yangtze River have almost been resettled.

After all, grain, iron, farming tools, and even ploughing cattle are all brought with them. Some abandoned villages are also readily available.

It was settled relatively quickly.

Therefore, these ordinary times of Jiang Wan are not much busier than Liu Feng. Just take care of very simple official business.

It's just that because of Jiao Xiang's arrival, Jiang Wan also paid attention to the migration of Xiangyang scholars to Jiangxia.

Talent, talent. Now the three counties, Jiujiang, Jiangxia, and Changsha, all lack capable officials. What is most lacking is actually the county order, especially Changsha.

Xu Zheng's ability was limited, and the officials he brought with him could only control the county seat of Changsha County, Linxiang. The control of the rest of the counties is relatively weak.

It is necessary to promote the prefectural orders belonging to your own forces in order to effectively control them.

The influx of scholars can fill the gap in this regard. In addition, Jiang Wan is also planning to build a larger official system.

A system that overrides the local government of local officials.

Now Liu Feng is General Yang Wu, and in addition, he also serves as Jiangxia Taishou. Jiang Wan felt that it was not appropriate. Now Liu Feng already has three counties. It is already possible to construct a small court in the practical sense.

Just like the Marquis of Wu's Mansion in Jiangdong, Sun Quan did not directly manage Wu County, but he had his own Gongcao, master book, long history, and so on. to manage the entire Koto.

In the past, Liu Biao's Zhennan General's Mansion was also a small court in a similar situation.

And now Liu Feng should also frame one. General Yang Wu's Mansion.

If you can find a good talent, you can first structure General Yang Wu's Mansion and supplement a few small officials. Wait for the adjutant to be slowly enriched.

Jiang Wan thought in his heart.

At this moment, a guard came in and reported: "My lord, there is a gentleman outside the door who claims to be Jiangling Zhao Lei, who asks to see him." ”

"Zhao Lei?" Jiang Wan's eyes lit up, he hadn't seen it, but he had heard of it.

It is famous in the Gangneung area, and it is known for its honesty and integrity. It's a very straightforward, straightforward person.

Jiang Wan is not the kind of person who will elect officials for Liu Feng according to his fame. It's inevitable to see for yourself.

"Ask him to come in." Jiang Wan knelt dignifiedly, then raised his hand.

"No." The guard answered, and walked out of the study.

Outside the study, stood Zhao Lei, who was dressed in regular clothes but was very serious.

"Sir, Lord Bookkeeper, please." The guard bent down and saluted Zhao Lei.

"Thank you." Zhao Lei nodded towards the guard, and then walked in.

After Zhao Ti entered, the guards continued to perform the task of arching the guards, but to the surprise of the guards, Zhao Ti did not come out for an hour after entering.

After an hour and a half, Jiang Wan walked out with Zhao Lei.

The guards saw a little joy on the faces of Jiang Wan and Zhao Lei.

Of course, Jiang Wan felt happy, he felt that Zhao Lei was a very good person, he was very straightforward in his words, and his name of honesty and honesty was well deserved.

The talent is also good, suitable for doing gongcao.

The meritorious officer elects the meritorious service, and there is a great need for fair and honest people.

Thinking about it, Jiang Wan immediately ordered the guards to prepare the carriage and go to the Taishou Mansion.

After arriving at the Taishou Mansion, Jiang Wan took Zhao Lei straight into the front yard and stopped in front of Liu Feng's study. Jiang Wan turned to Zhao Lei and said, "Wait a minute." I went to introduce Liu Jiangxia. ”

"Thank you, Gongyan." Zhao Lei said gratefully when he heard this.

"After today, you and I may be on the same side. You're welcome. Jiang Wan smiled slightly and went straight into the study.

Watching Jiang Wan go straight into the study, Zhao Lei was looking forward to it.

Just now in the official office of the chief bookkeeper, he talked a lot with Jiang Wan. He could see that Jiang Wan admired him more. It should be very helpful for this outing.

Zhao Lei looked forward to it in his heart.

In the study, Liu Feng listened to the guard's briefing first, and saw Jiang Wan enter. said with a smile: "I heard that Gongyan brought someone here, but Jingzhou Junjie? ”

"Jiangling celebrities, Zhao Lei." Jiang Wan nodded with a smile.

"Oh?" Liu Feng was surprised, Zhao Lei, he is the former governor of Guan Yu and the grain official.

During Guan Yu's reign in Jingzhou, there were also many loyal ministers. Not necessarily all of them are rebel generals such as General Dr. Ren and Mi Fang. It's just that Guan Yu is a person, and he really doesn't use people very well.

The loyal ones are all with them, and the annihilated ones are guarded in the rear. It led to defeat.

This Zhao Lei was captured with Guan Yu and finally killed. He didn't surrender to Soochow even if he died.

can be the former governor, the grain officer is his talent, and he can die with Guan Yu, which is his loyalty. Such a person Liu Feng coveted, but there were too few records of Guan Yu and Zhao Lei, and Liu Feng didn't know where he was in Jingzhou.

Now that it is automatically sent to the door, Liu Feng is naturally happy. On the occasion of employing people.

"Come in, please." Liu Feng waved his hand.

Jiang Wan didn't do it, but looked at Liu Feng with a serious face.

"Gongyan, what is this?" Liu Feng wondered.

"Zhao Lei's subordinates have already been contacted, and he is honest and talented. I don't know what the lord is going to do with him? Jiang Wan asked.

"At present, Changsha is short of Taishou, and I want to use him to engage in Changsha. Wait for the accumulation of popularity, and then be promoted to Taishou. Seeing Jiang Wan's serious expression, Liu Feng suppressed the doubts in his heart, and also seriously considered it for a while, and said.

"No." Jiang Wan shook his head and said.

"Why?" Liu Feng was puzzled again.

"Local officials can fill it slowly, but there is a mansion that must be opened." Jiang Wan said to Liu Feng very solemnly.

"General Yang Wu's Mansion?" Liu Feng was not a person who did not understand the official system, and soon realized Jiang Wan's intentions.

"Is it appropriate now? There are only three counties. Liu Feng asked.

"Jiujiang, Jiangxia, Changsha, plus Taiwan County, four counties. In addition to the civil and military officials themselves, these four counties also have the elite army of the Zhonglang general Gan Ning who are not officials, and the elite army of Zhonglang general Huang Zhong. The general, Taishou, already has six systems that are different from each other. It's time to set up a higher-level organization to manage these six systems. Jiang Wan nodded very seriously.

Jiang Wan didn't say anything, Liu Feng also realized the seriousness of the problem.

Jiujiang County Guard. Taiwan County Guard. and Jiang Wan, who actually managed Jiangxia, and Xu Zheng, who actually managed Changsha, and the Ganning Water Army. Huang Zhong's other department.

Six yamen that do not belong to each other and do not interfere. In times of war, it's easy to get confused.

Not to mention, the counties under Liu Feng's rule will continue to increase the number of cities. Now it is imminent to build a mansion that surpasses the yamen.

After thinking for a while, Liu Feng nodded and said, "What Gong Yan said is very true. Immediately, Liu Feng said again: "If you are honest, you can be fair." It's a good fit to do gongcao. ”

"The lord is wise." Jiang Wan couldn't help but bend over and smile when he saw that Liu Feng had arranged Zhao Lei, which was the same as the best position in his heart.

"It's not wise. There are a lot of headaches. To build a mansion. Long history, main book, engagement, gongcao, join the army. Each has its own responsibilities, and so on. Liu Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Changsha is still too guarded, the county order. There are many more positions here.

"Now is the beginning of the grand prestige of the lord, and Zhao Lei will come to vote. I believe that when the lord marries the second daughter. If you really reach the middle of the heavens, there will definitely be more people coming to join us. Seeing this, Jiang Wan couldn't help but comfort.

"Xie Gongyan has said auspiciously." Liu Feng smiled slightly.

After all, they are also the princes in charge, and this little trouble is not enough to defeat Liu Feng. After a while, I was in good spirits.

"Gongyan will go down first, and I will see this Zhao Lei first." Immediately, Liu Fengdao.

"No." Jiang Wan answered and walked out.

Outside the study, stood Zhao Lei, who had been waiting for a long time.

"My lord, please." Jiang Wan smiled at Zhao Lei and said.

"Thank you, Gongyan." Feeling refreshed, Zhao Lei first bowed to Jiang Wan, then took a deep breath and walked into the study.

Zhao Ti went in for half an hour and walked out. Holding two rolls of bamboo slips in his hands. These are two appointments.

The first is to seal Jiang Wan as Jiangxia Taishou. The second is to open the mansion and seal the mansion of General Zhao Lei and Yang Wu as the meritorious Cao. This was not appointed by the imperial court, but by Liu Feng. Otherwise, with the position of General Yang Wu, it is not enough to open a mansion.

After Zhao Lei left. In the study, Liu Feng summoned a guard and ordered: "Order someone to clean up the front yard and vacate a few rooms." Recruit small officials and set up a long history. Master book. In. Gong Cao. The official office who joined the army. Then replace the plaque outside the mansion and change it to General Yang Wu's mansion. ”

"No." The guard answered.

After the guards left, Liu Feng raised his head and looked out the door. Let out a long breath.

Unconsciously, the number of counties under his rule has increased substantially. This authority can only rise again and again. It's just that this opening is easy to open. But where did he find this adjutant?

One person in the long history, one person in the main book, and one person in Gongcao. Engaged in several people, joined the army several.

Ay.
