Zhang looked at his son's solemn expression and said: "Judging from Wang Yan's speech and demeanor, although he is young, he is quite good, and he speaks sincerely, so he should be a good official." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info but my mother is old, people's hearts are unpredictable, and my mother doesn't know how Wang Yan is an official. You've been out all the time, so you should know something about Wang Yan. ”

Tai Shici nodded and said, "Wang Yan is indeed a good official, he just arrived in Donglai County to take office, and he encountered pirates attacking Huang County. He personally led his army into battle and defeated the pirates. A few days ago, Wang Yan sent troops to exterminate He Miao and surrendered Lin Hua and You Xian. The three major bandits in Huang County have all disappeared. ”

"Ahh

Zhang exclaimed, with a look of disbelief, and asked, "Wang Taishou is so capable?" ”

Tai Shici said: "Wang Yan's ability is indeed not simple. The son inquired about Wang Yan's past, who once served as the county magistrate of Langya State in Xuzhou, and was in charge for about a year, and the people had enough food and clothing, living and working in peace and contentment. Subsequently, Wang Yan participated in the crusade against Dong Zhuo and made great achievements, but because of the jealousy of the alliance leader Yuan Shao, Wang Yan left angrily. Finally, he was appointed by the imperial court as the Taishou of Donglai County. ”

Zhang said: "Looking at his age, he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, so powerful? The mother also thought that he relied on the protection of his father Wang Yun to serve as the Taishou of Donglai County. ”

Tai Shici shook his head and said: "On the contrary, Wang Yun's ability to sit firmly in Qingzhou is the credit of Wang Yan. Before Wang Yan arrived in Qingzhou, Wang Yun was overshadowed by the magnates of Qingzhou. After Wang Yan arrived, he killed several major families in Qingzhou by thunder, so that Wang Yun could sit firmly in Qingzhou and no longer be set aside. ”

Zhang's expression was excited, and he became excited, and said, "According to this statement, although Wang Taishou is young, he is a capable and good official. He has come to recruit you, so go. ”

Tai Shici was silent for a moment and said, "Mother, my son wants to think about it again." ”

Zhang suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly persuaded: "Son, don't miss the opportunity, you won't come back again." If you miss this opportunity, you will not necessarily meet such an official

When he didn't know about Wang Yan's situation, Zhang was worried that his son was with the wrong person. After listening to Tai Shici's words, knowing Wang Yan's various deeds, and then contacting Wang Yan's approachable posture before, Zhang directly determined that Wang Yan was a person worthy of Tai Shici's loyalty.

Tai Shici's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a harmonious voice: "Don't worry, my son knows very well what to do." ”

The tone is very soft, but it is extremely stubborn.

"Oh, you"

Seeing that Tai Shici didn't say anything, Zhang couldn't help but sigh lightly. Tai Shi Ci has been filial and sensible since he was a child, but his personality is quite stubborn, and it is useless to persuade him to decide something. Zhang's expression was helpless, so he had to say: "Wang Taishou came to conquer this time, and also brought your appointment letter and official uniform, and put them in the room for your mother." If you figure it out, just get it. ”

Tai Shi Ci said: "My son understands"

"Mother, my son is hungry, let's prepare dinner."

Tai Shi Ci saw that Zhang's expression was depressed, and hurriedly changed the topic.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang heard that his son was hungry, he got up directly and said, "You wait, my mother will make a fire and cook immediately." ”

Tai Shici breathed a sigh of relief after watching the Zhang family busy.

In fact, Tai Shici was not unwilling to be loyal to Wang Yan, but he just felt that it was not in line with his wishes to go now. Wang Yan's subordinates are full of ministers and generals, and he is going now, but he has not made an inch, but he has obtained an official position, which is inevitably unconvinced. He Tai Shi Ci wants to serve Wang Yan, so he naturally wants to convince the people under Wang Yan's command.

Tai Shi Ci needs a chance, and he is also waiting for an opportunity.

Two days are fleeting.

Wang Yan didn't wait for Tai Shici in the county office, and he was a little disappointed in his heart.

After all, he failed to impress Tai Shici.

However, Wang Yan was not determined to successfully recruit Tai Shici. Now, he has Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others, Wu Youdianwei, Huang Zhong and others, and it is no longer the situation when he was just serving as the commander of Nancheng County, and his status has also changed.

Calming down, Wang Yan devoted himself to the government affairs of Donglai County.

In the study, Wang Yan and Hu Zhao sat opposite each other.

Hu Zhao looked solemn and said: "The lord is the Taishou of Donglai County, and he has lived in the county government for a long time, so he can't say it. The lowly incumbent plans to renovate the Taishou Mansion, and when the repair is completed, you will move there. ”

Wang Yan said: "It costs money to repair the mansion, so forget it for the time being." ”

Hu Zhao stubbornly shook his head and said, "The money that should be spent naturally cannot be saved. The lord ordered the county orders of each county to report on their work, should they let them report on their work at the county office? In this way, wouldn't it make the county commanders of each county look down on the lord. Moreover, after Huang Zhong took the cottages of He Miao, Lin Hua, and You Xian, he handed over countless amounts of money, which was enough for Huang County to spend a year. With this sum of money, it is enough to get through. The money for repairing the government is not a big problem. ”

Wang Yan thought about it, nodded and said, "You start to prepare." ”

Hu Zhao said: "I ordered the repair to begin, and strive to complete it before the arrival of the county decree in each county." ”

"Newspaper"

Outside the study, the attendant reported: "My lord, Lord Huang asks to see you." ”

"Please"

Wang Yan ordered.

Hu Zhao arched his hand and said: "Lord, retire from your humble position." ”

Wang Yan nodded, and after Hu Zhao left, after a while, Huang Zhong walked in.

"No need to be polite, sit," Wang Yan waved his hand.

After Huang Zhong saluted, he sat down respectfully and said straight to the point: "My lord, after the reorganization of the past few days, the reorganization of the army has been completed. In addition to the more than 1,000 soldiers brought to Huang County by the lord, there were more than 4,000 new soldiers this time, and more than 1,000 people were eliminated. ”

Wang Yan asked: "How are the eliminated people settled?" ”

Huang Zhong replied: "In addition to soldiers, there are also some miscellaneous servants in the army. The soldiers who were not selected were all transferred to miscellaneous labor. Those who did not want were given a placement fee to let them leave. ”

Wang Yan nodded with satisfaction, and asked again: "When will the new four thousand soldiers be able to form combat effectiveness?" ”

Huang Zhong thought for a moment and said, "To form combat effectiveness, it will take at least two months or more, or even longer. ”

Wang Yan shook his head and said, "It's been too long."

Huang Zhong didn't understand what Wang Yan meant, and said: "It is impossible to train the army overnight, and if you want to be fast, you can't achieve it, and it is even more difficult to form combat effectiveness in a short time. In addition, there is no war in the near future, so you can spend enough time training soldiers. ”

Wang Yan said: "Before we didn't attack Changyang County, there was indeed no war. However, when the county commanders come to report on their work, I will arrange for them to go to the barracks to inspect them. At that time, you must use the army to intimidate the county orders. Therefore, it is necessary to form combat effectiveness, and even if it is a showmanship, it must reach the point of prohibiting it. ”

Huang Zhong understood and assured: "Don't worry, my lord, just training soldiers, that's absolutely no problem." When the time comes, the lord will come to the barracks. ”

Wang Yan asked again: "What is the name of the lake outside the barracks?" ”

Huang Zhong replied: "Mingyuan Lake"

Wang Yan instructed: "The military camp must have the name of the military camp, and the name of the lake will be used as the title of the military camp. In the future, it was called the Mingyuan Camp. ”

"Thank you for the name"

Huang Zhong grinned, it was naturally better for the military camp to have a name.

Wang Yan said: "Time is pressing, let's go down." When the county order arrives, I hope you can surprise me. ”

"Guaranteed to get the job done"

Huang Zhong saluted with his fists and grinned.

He had come to report on the situation of the soldiers in the barracks, but he didn't expect to get such a good thing. At this moment, Huang Zhong couldn't wait to return to the camp immediately and announce the naming of the barracks.
