Chapter 81: Deficit and Disadvantage
When I left Luoyang, there were just three or five people who came to see him off.
After all, he is not really too guarded, in the hearts of many people, even if Wei Tao is talented, he doesn't know how long it will take to be at the top, and now he should not pay attention to it.
Of course, with 300 people, as well as Zhang Liao and Dian Wei, in Wei Tao's opinion, his team has been initially established, and now it is a new foundation, which is naturally different from the past.
"It's easy to please God, but it's hard to send God, let alone this duty of being too guarded? Now that I have got this opportunity, I naturally won't let go, the heritage of each family is indeed strong, but I have the opportunity, and I will not lag behind much. ”
I don't know why, Wei Tao's heart suddenly swelled with a special emotion.
Changshan, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, was just an ordinary place name, but it was an extremely important place in the eyes of later generations.
Because there is a man in this place.
Changshan Zhao Zilong, an almost perfect 'winning general' Zhao Yun in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Wei Tao doesn't have too many heroic plots, but Wei Tao is the time when he needs talents the most at this time.
Although Chen Liuwei's family is rich, it only provides some funding, although he has repeatedly made military exploits and has a wide reputation, but in the eyes of the world, he is just a rising generation.
It is simply impossible to get others to take refuge.
Even if he took the initiative to extend, those who have great skills would not be able to come out, if it weren't for Zhang Liao being abandoned by Ding Yuan, if it weren't for the fact that there was no way to kill people on Pawn Weidang Street, where would it be so easy to surrender.
As for recruiting talents based on the analysis of the general trend of the world, it is ridiculous.
Real talents have their own ideas, and they will not be shaken easily, and they can be recruited just a few words.
Even if you agree with what he said, at most you think that Wei Tao is a genius and needs to be taken seriously.
If this is the case, as long as the opportunity to get talents, Wei Tao is naturally even more unlikely to let go.
"I heard that Mr. Tong Yuan, the king of the gun, lived in seclusion in Changshan, Jizhou, and this time I was appointed as the Taishou of Changshan, and I should visit him."
Wei Tao vaguely remembered that Zhao Yun was apprenticed to Tong Yuan, and now Zhao Yun is just an ordinary teenager, even if he is talented, but if he is really looking for it, it is too surprising.
But if you are looking for Tong Yuan, it is normal.
Tong Yuan is a generation of gun kings, recognized by the world, with a good reputation, although he is not valued by court officials, but it is normal to see it in the past.
"Mr. Tong Yuantong, the Gun King? It is said that the old gentleman's marksmanship is superb, a set of birds and phoenix marksmanship, which is not lost in magnificence, but also not in the sharp, it is the world's first-class marksmanship. If you have the opportunity, you should ask to see you. ”
Zhang Liao had also heard of Tong Yuan's name, and immediately said excitedly.
"Since the Lord wants to find the Gun King, this matter will be handed over to the last general."
"In this way, I ask Wen Yuan, Wen Yuan also knows, I have no unknown teacher to guide me, even if I have the former Overlord Halberd in hand, I can't understand the true essence, but I want to ask to see Mr. Tong for guidance."
Wei Tao smiled slightly, this is also one of his main purposes.
"Is that Tong Yuan really that powerful? If there is such an opportunity, I Dian Wei must be well taught! ”
Dian Wei's martial arts and courage are innate divine power and the gift of aliens, hearing Wei Tao and Zhang Liao so admired, his heart is competitive.
In this regard, Wei Tao and Zhang Liao just smiled, Tong Yuan has been famous for many years, and he has experienced many battles, although he is already old, but I am afraid that the current Dian Wei is also difficult to defeat, and the only way is to bully him into old age and not endure to fight for a long time.
However, Wei Tao and Zhang Liao both knew that although Dian Wei was rough, he was not a bully person, but he would not use such a rogue method.
Wei Tao did not have any twists and turns when he took up the post of Taishou, at most, the original subordinates were worried about their positions.
After all, Wei Tao was appointed by the imperial court, and he led 300 people to come, obviously to prevent the resurgence of the yellow scarf, but in fact, he was in Liwei, so naturally no one dared to come out and blow up the thorns.
The matter of searching for Tong Yuan was handed over to Zhang Liao, although Tong Yuan was very famous, but after all, he had retired, and not many people knew about it, and it would take a lot of time and effort to find it.
Wei Tao won't put his energy here.
After becoming the Taishou of a county, Wei Tao realized that things were not as easy as he imagined.
There are all kinds of complicated and trivial things in the civil affairs and military affairs in a county, and when he first arrived, Wei Tao couldn't sort it out for a while.
"It is said that it is easy to be an official, but in fact, it is not easy, if you really want to be in charge of all the affairs in this county, I am afraid it is not the work of March, no wonder whether it is He Jin or Uncle Wang Shi, they have made it clear to me that it is only temporary. It's not that they're reluctant, it's that they probably don't think they can take charge at all. ”
Wei Tao secretly smiled bitterly, and understood the thoughts of He Jin, Wang Yun and others.
In fact, even Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others were only envious of Wei Tao for having such an experience at such a young age, but they would not think that Wei Tao could really handle the affairs of a county.
It's not something that can be done easily with any talent.
As for leaving everything to someone else, isn't it a great deal of power?
If the position is really stable, like Wei Tao, the power is unstable after all, and those 'old' officials will bully Wei Tao when he is young.
"But it's troublesome."
Knowing that these affairs were in his hands, and there were various officials who were looking to see if they could grasp the power of a county, Wei Tao naturally couldn't ignore it.
In this way, after dealing with it for five days in a row, Wei Tao finally reluctantly figured out a clue.
After all, it's not really a teenager, if it's a teenager, no matter how talented he is, it is impossible to sort out the clues so quickly in the case.
It's not that you have to let Wei Tao deal with it personally, but to sort out this clue, that is, you can rest assured that those subordinates can follow the previous rules without being bullied by them.
But other things are just that, only one thing has attracted Wei Tao's attention.
"All the counties in Changshan have been plagued by the Yellow Turban bandits, or temporarily requisitioned, or robbed by the Yellow Turban bandits, and the Cangcao is even more dead, fleeing, and now the Changshan County is almost empty?"
Cangcao is the county in charge of money and grain, Cangcao people lost, and through the Yellow Turban bandits, the county account books were burned, and the loss is not known at all.
Now that the counties have reported their losses, I am afraid that the deficits over the years have been calculated, and even Wei Tao doubts whether they were directly bribed by the county officials.
"There must be disadvantages, even if it is reported to the court, it can only be so. All counties are the same, but the county officials of Changshan County bullied me when I was young, and the situation was very serious. ”
Wei Tao thought about it secretly, but he understood it very well in his heart.
"But if I do this, although I will not be questioned by the imperial court, I will be despised by the princes of the imperial court, and the officials of Changshan counties may not put me in their eyes.
Wei Tao is not willing to really be a passer-by, the world is in chaos, and only when there are soldiers and food in his hands can he have the right to speak.
Even if he wants to assist Cao Cao, if he has no food in his hands, he will definitely be subordinated to everyone.
Assisting Cao Cao wanted to end the war that was about to occur in the world as soon as possible, in order to prevent the occurrence of chaos in the future, not for the sake of the chaos of the flies and dogs.
"This money and food must be recovered."
After thinking about it for a while, Wei Tao already had a plan.
"Someone is coming, and all the county chiefs of Changshan County are invited."
Wei Tao is too guarded, in charge of the affairs of a county, so he naturally has the right to summon subordinate officials from all over the country.
However, the location of officials in various places may be far and near, and the time for receiving Wei Tao's order is also different, and there is some contempt for Wei Tao, although he does not dare not come, but it is inevitable that there will be delays.
Wei Tao's slow journey from Luoyang to Changshan was only three days, but officials from all over the country gathered, and it took a full ten days since Wei Tao gave the order.
It took five days for the fastest officials to arrive, but in fact the county seat was only a few hours away.
After arriving, he just confessed and said that it took a lot of effort to hand over the affairs of the county, and the rest was silent.
This is the dismissal of Wei Tao from the chief officials of each county.
Don't look at you, you are a Taishou appointed by the imperial court, but without us, you can't play with this Taishou!
Wei Tao has been silent about this, no matter what the reason is, he just nodded lightly, indicating that he already knew and did not say anything, which made some people's eyes have a trace of contempt.
Only a few people have a faint bad feeling in their hearts, a teenager has such a big character, such a person can really be bullied at will?
"See your Excellency."
Many county magistrates gathered together, and there were dozens of people, and after signaling to Wei Tao, they immediately sat down according to the size of their official positions.
This is still just the chief official, if you add the various officials of Liucao, it will still be several times more.
However, no matter how big the scene is, Wei Tao has also experienced it, and this small scene is naturally difficult for Wei Tao.
"You are all subordinates of Ben Taishou, this is also the first time we have met, even if it is a little disrespectful, this official does not want to pay attention to it."
Hearing Wei Tao say this, a sneer flashed on many people's faces, in their opinion, Wei Tao is not alarmist, and it can even be said to be a joke.
But Wei Tao's next sentence suddenly made many people's faces change slightly.
"The official checked the accounts and found that all the counties were in deficit, especially the Caocang, which was almost empty."
"My lord! This matter has nothing to do with us, it is all done by the Yellow Turban bandits, thinking that my small few soldiers, it is reluctant to be able to protect the people under my command from invading, but I want to do more but I can't do it, and please see it. ”
"My lord, my county has tried its best to resist, but the yellow turban is so strong, how can I endure it?"
Sure enough, as soon as Wei Tao spoke, several people immediately stood up and said angrily, and the faces of the others were also uneven.
