Chapter 11 County Affairs

Jiang Zhenai is the second son of Jiang Cheng, the third elder of the township, and he has already married and should have lived separately, but his family has always been filial, and his family has migrated, so he has never separated from other homes. Now that he followed Wen Chou to serve in Gaoyi County, and his third brother Jiang Xuan is also serving as the captain of Taolin, then only the eldest brother in the family serves by his father's side.

After getting along for nearly a month, Wen Chou found that Jiang Zheqi was more calm and wise than Jiang Xuan. What you see and say is also more rigorous and fluent. This can be seen that he has a deeper knowledge foundation than Jiang Xuan, after all, he is seven or eight years older! It's just that one thing is not very good, maybe because he has been reading hard by his father's side all the year round and has never gone out to practice, Jiang Zhe is a little rigid and inflexible compared to Jiang Xuan, who is younger and more malleable.

Although he has changed slightly since his debut, it has not changed much, after all, his outlook on life and world view has been formed. In this way, Jiang Zheqi's achievements are destined to be inferior to his brother's, maybe he can do the things that Wen Chou explained well, but he has no pioneering spirit, and he belongs to the Cao Shen-like characters in 'Xiao Gui Cao Sui'.

Different from Jiang Xuan's eclectic dress, Jiang Zhe is a standard Confucian dress: green cloth Confucian robe, Bo with a high crown, black shoes and white socks, straight as bamboo when sitting, steady as the wind when walking. All show that this person is a scholar who does not smile, and a good minister who can be entrusted with important things.

"Zhiheng, what is it difficult to decide today?" Wen Chou saw Jiang Zhe stepping forward and asked with a smile. - Zhiheng, Jiang Zhezi.

"Wen Jun is so idle, but it is hard for me to wait for the next public!" Jiang Zhe smiled and continued.

"Haha, Zhiheng, Zhishi, those who can work hard! Besides, the contemptible person just stretched his waist, didn't you find it? How can you talk about it!" Wen Chou laughed.

"What Wen Jun said is exact, hehe, can Wen Jun know about the county officials I talked about some time ago?" Jiang Zhe quickly returned to the main topic of work.

"Is there anything wrong?" Wen Chou wondered.

"Because the right surnamed Hao clan in the county suffered huge losses in this plague of thieves, and Ming Jun did not 'return' his property to them, but distributed it to ordinary Qianshou. That's why they have a lot of complaints about Mingjun. Although I didn't dare to say it before, I was secretly surging with wind and water! Don't be careful. Jiang Zhe said cautiously.

"What does this have to do with the county officials? Could it be that they are also dissatisfied with the position of the contemptible people? Wen Scandal frowned and thought.

"Exactly, they already had a grudge against the loss of property, and they expected that Mingjun would give a certain amount of compensation in the county officials and official positions, but they didn't expect Mingjun to govern for the public and appoint people on the basis of merit! As a result, most of them did not have any official duties, and they were even more resentful. Jiang Zhe said analytically.

"Well, according to what Zhiheng said, these wealthy families seem to be going to take action?" Wen Chou heard the meaning of Jiang Zhe's words and frowned.

"Exactly, according to the report from the subordinates, these wealthy families have indeed been in close contact in recent days, even the families who used to be rivals have also released their previous suspicions, how can they not doubt it!" Jiang Zheyan said.

-- As the main secretary of Wen Chou, Jiang Zhe's rights are very large, Wen Chou basically delegated all the rights to his subordinates, except for the core troops, positions, etc., and the work of these subordinate officials should first be reported by Jiang Zhe, the chief secretary of Wen Chou's 'secretary', and then after Jiang Zhe's preliminary processing, major and important matters will be reported to Wen Chou. It can be said that Wen Chou has great expectations for Jiang Zhe, and he is required to be in accordance with the standards of the slaughter of a land.

"In this way, I really want Zizheng and Ziyong to take care of them!" Wen Chou's eyes narrowed and he said fiercely. Although Wen Chou has never liked to kill, if he really touches his brow and moves his bottom line, he is not weaker than any bloody general. For the enemy, Wen Chou's decision is only 'kill, kill, kill'.

"Wen Jun's intention is to guard it?" Jiang Zhe said tentatively. He himself is a Confucian scholar, so he naturally does not like to kill.

"No, it's just that the sons are just mentioning one or two to them, as long as these wealthy families don't do too disobedient things, it's not good for us to tear the skin with them. But then again, if they were really daring, they wouldn't be able to complain about being ruthless. Although Wen Chou said angrily, he was sober and tight, and said.

"Well, since Wen Jun knows it in his heart, then he can't succeed if he thinks about these people, so try to persuade people to understand them." When Jiang Zhe heard Wen Chou's words, he was relieved in his heart, and then continued.

"Okay, of course, Zhi Hengru also has to act cheaply, if it is irretrievable, you can let them do it. I'll send another elite soldier to drive you! Rest assured that it is safe. Wen Chou thought for a while and said. At present, he not only has hundreds of elite soldiers brought from Shahe Township and Taolinsai, but also the soldiers of Captain Lu Liang who defected to Cheng earlier, and he can't afford to make any big waves when he wants to come to these wealthy families.

"Thank you Wenjun, Zhe, I will do my best to do it, and I have reported Junde." Jiang Zhe took the opportunity to speak.

"Haha, with Zhiheng's planning, the county will definitely sing and dance." Wen Chou stepped forward and took Jiang Zhe's hand and said. It is full of intimacy.

"In addition to this county official, there is another matter that needs to be made clear." Jiang Zhe continued.

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Now that the wheat harvest and millet seeds in the county have passed, the deposit and consumption of grain and treasury have to be made clear to Wenjun." Jiang Zhe said solemnly. Although Wen Chou was very relieved of him and delegated all the power to him, his duty as a subordinate official could not be forgotten.

"Okay, since Zhiheng thinks that this is necessary, then I naturally deserve it." Wen Chou laughed. Similarly, Wen Chou appreciates Jiang Zhe's dedication and integrity.

Although when he took office, Wen Chou had said that non-major and important matters could be judged by himself, but Jiang Zhe still summarized the affairs of Gaoyi County into several large and small articles in a few days to report to Wen Chou. And its stripping is very clear and orderly, so Wen Chou will not feel that it is so troublesome, but Jiang Zhe himself has to spend a lot of effort to sort out and arrange the things in the county.

"This is the county affairs of the past few days, and this is the income and expenditure of the county this season." When Jiang Zhe heard this, he took out two square juans from his sleeve, and there were dense handwriting on them.

"There is Lao Zhiheng!" Wen Chou took Juan, looked at it, and then thanked Jiang Zhe. This is sincere gratitude, and the current Jiang Zhe is basically the 'big housekeeper' of Gaoyi County. Wen Chou, the county gentleman, how can he not thank him?

Then Wen Chou looked at the handwriting on Juan, and asked Jiang Zhe two sentences from time to time, Jiang Zhe explained it quickly, and there was no mistake, until Wen Chou understood all the deeds, Jiang Zhe retired.

After Jiang Zhe left, Wen Chou was distracted for a while in the face of the empty courtyard and the blue sky. Then thinking of what Jiang Zhe said earlier, he sent people to the school to find Liu Zhong, Wenba and others.

Compared with Jiang Zhe, who came to look for Wen Chou several times a day, Liu Zhong and Wen Ba are all military attachés, busy training soldiers! I didn't see anyone for three or five days, but I was very energetic. Because of the newly recruited group of soldiers, the combat effectiveness is pitiful, and in view of the fact that they have encountered thieves several times, Wen Chou decided to train them as soon as possible into a strong force that can be used in battle, so this will make Liu Zhong and Wen Ba suffer them.

In the gap between the subordinates looking for Liu Zhong and them, Wen Chou sorted out all kinds of things in the past month since he took office, coupled with Jiang Zhe's report and analysis, many things were slowly revealed from the dark side. makes Wen Chou frown from time to time and show his face from time to time. sighed in his heart: "The county monarch and the township ruler are really very different!" Even if the county is a small county and the township is a large township, it is not the same! ”

Not long after, Liu Zhong, Wen Ba and others rode horses to the official temple and found the location of Wen Chou, which was very anxious. Because in the past month, Wen Chou generally does not edict them, and now he specially sent people to look for them, Liu Zhong and they think that there must be a big event, so they are eager to come, for fear of missing a big event.

"Big brother, big brother, what's the matter!" Before I saw him, Wen Ba's shout had already come. Wen Chou came out of the lobby and greeted Liu Zhong and them.

Compared with Wenba's frizziness, Liu Zhong is much calmer and quieter, but the nervousness is still on his face. Li Ji looked a little restrained. These three people are currently the backbone of the main force of Wenchou, and it is also under the auspices of the three of them that the training of soldiers in Gaoyi County can be launched.

"Ziyong, how boring! Zizheng and Li Ji hurried and entered the lobby. Wen Chou stretched out his hand and smiled.

"Uh, isn't that caring!" Wen Ba stood still and muttered in a low voice, afraid that no one but himself would be able to hear what he said.

Seeing that Liu Zhong and Li Ji had already walked towards the hall, Wen Ba still scratched his head and stayed in place. "I know you're a concerner, so don't come in yet!" Wen Chou looked at Wen Ba's appearance and said with a smile.

"Ahh Wen Ba reacted at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward, embarrassed.

"Huh,"

"Haha,"

This move made Liu Zhong and Li Ji, who were not smiling, also laugh, and for a while the hall was happy, and there was no tension when they came.

"Zizheng, how is your current soldier training going?" Wen Chou saw the three of them sitting still, and asked first.

"Returning to Wenjun, now two thousand elites have been drawn from the county, and they are in intense training, among which the original Taolin elite is the backbone, and the county elite is the main force, which already has preliminary combat power, and in just two months, it will definitely be able to train a strong team for Wenjun." Liu Zhongzheng said solemnly.

"Well, although the overall quality of these two thousand people is not as good as that of the Taolinsai soldiers, they are not too bad, and they are slightly better than the first Taolinsai recruits!" When it comes to training, Wen Ba, the veteran of the Taolin Army, has the most right to speak, and he is also the most active one, with bright eyes.

Li Ji sat respectfully on one side and did not speak. Because he is still a trained member of the army's training system! And what has the right to speak? Although his personal strength is outstanding, he has not undergone much military training after all, so he is currently actively studying.
