In March 190 AD, Qingzhou, Li County, Le'an County.

The county government of Li County is located in the middle of the county. In fact, the officials of the county government had received a notice from Kong Rong from the county some time ago. It's just that Ye Hao has been repeatedly delayed on the road, attacking Yufu Luo at night, exterminating the Taishan thieves, repelling the Yellow Turban Saintess Zhang Ning, and so on, a series of things have happened, and he has not come until now.

Xu Shu specially ordered a tiger battalion to scout the horse cavalry yesterday, and hurried to the county government to inform again.

A group of squires and officials in Li County knew that the new county order was coming to take up their posts today, and they had been waiting outside the city gate for a long time. Ye Hao got out of the carriage and saw a group of people dressed in official clothes standing at the gate of the city from a distance. An old man over the age of sixteen stood at the front of the line, with an older appearance than Fauber. Ye Hao expected that he must be the old county magistrate of Li County.

"The old county is in good health, and in Xia Yehao, he came to Li County on the order of Kong Taishou and took up the post of county commander." Ye Hao walked in and replied with his fists very kindly. Anyway, you're going to have to go through the motions. After Ye Hao finished speaking, he took out the official seal of the Lixian county order from the package and showed it to the old man.

The old man saw that the official seal was real, so he returned the official seal to Ye Hao. didn't dare to slack off, and immediately respectfully clasped his fists and saluted back: "The old man is a county magistrate in Naili County, he has been in office for more than ten years, and he is now old and frail. It is a great pleasure to see the new county commander come here in my lifetime! Come in. ”

Hearing this, the major families in Sili County stepped forward to congratulate the arrival of the new county order.

When the new county commander arrived, the news spread throughout Li County at a flying speed. Li County was lively for a while.

Yue Xi, Sun Kang and others led 3,000 cavalry to the military camp in Li County.

——————————————

In the most prosperous central street of Lixian County, there is a mansion covering an area of several acres.

Ye Hao's new county government was built in this location.

I saw that on the gate of the house, there were two strong and powerful characters of "Yefu" written in traditional Chinese characters. In front of the door, a few of Fubo's servants were sweeping up the dust.

At this moment, in front of the Yefu Gate, the door is like a city.

Hearing the news, there were countless squires from Lixian County who rushed to give gifts, and the entire Ye Mansion was particularly jubilant, and it was very lively. For the identity of the Yehao County Order. and his fame, the people who came to give gifts had already inquired, and all the major families came to deliberately get married.

In the banquet that received the wind and washed the dust, all the guests fought together to toast, maybe others were not interested in such a young county order as Ye Hao. But the Ye family behind him, as well as the three thousand cavalry placed in front of them, had to let them think about it. And the Ye family is low-key. Pay attention to harmony and make money, and have a good reputation in the major counties and counties of Qingzhou.

The Ye family originally belonged to the local people in Qingzhou, and they were half of their own people. The major families in Li County are very happy to accept Ye Hao to take up his post here. I saw that the major families kept hinting at Ye Hao during the banquet, wanting to find an official position for the children of the family.

In this regard, Ye Hao smiled and did not agree, nor did he refuse. As the saying goes, it is easy to do things when there are more friends, although the sparrows in Lixian County are small, they are also well-organized. Although he doesn't like the friendship of these families, he also knows that in this era, the vast majority of talents in this era are still in the hands of the major families. Family. It's like a double-edged sword, and if used well, benefits can be shared. If you don't use it well, you will endanger yourself. It depends on how you deal with it flexibly.

During the banquet, Ye Hao talked about poetry with everyone, and it was also a joy.

The banquet lasted until 10 o'clock in the evening, when it was aborted.

The guests left one after another.

The next day, the county office. Ye Hao gave his subordinates all civil and military officers and began to make formal appointments.

Now I have to say something. At present, Qingzhou contains six counties, namely: Jinan County, Qi County, Le'an County, Beihai County, and Chengyang County. Dongnae County. The seat of governance in Le'an County is Rinzai. 9 counties: Linji, Gaoyuan, Qiancheng, Le'an, Bochang, Lixian, Liaocheng, Shouguang, Yixian.

Li County belongs to the jurisdiction of Le'an County, and if you distinguish it carefully, he belongs to Dezhou City, Shandong Province, in the land of modern Qilu.

After careful consideration, Ye Hao made the following appointments.

Dian Jie was appointed as the county lieutenant and commanded the most elite cavalry of the 1,000 Tiger Battalion. The rank is 400 stones, and he is in charge of the county military.

Xu Shu was appointed as the new county leader, military advisor, and his rank was 500 stones.

appointed Sun Kang as Gong Cao, and always took care of the public.

Ma Sheng and Lu Ying were appointed as subordinates. Sun Guan is the commander of the Ye family's infantry regiment.

Appointing Yue Xi as the commander-in-chief, he can nominally transfer soldiers and horses from all walks of life in Lixian County, including Sun Guan, Sun Kang, Dian Jie, Ma Sheng, Sledgehammer, and Lu Ying.

If you eat meat yourself, you have to drink soup for everyone, and Ye Hao is not so unkind. Thirty percent of the officials who belonged to the previous big and small officials in Li County stayed, and two percent of the children of various families were newly added, and seventy percent of the people who were old and had poor political performance were eliminated. The dismissed personnel were given ample money and had no complaints.

Ye Hao sat on the seat of the county government and listened to Xu Shu's report on the situation in Li County.

With a total population of more than 23,000 households and a population of more than 105,000 people, Li County is a veritable large county.

It's just that contrary to these figures, there are only more than 30,000 stones of grain left in the treasury, less than 1,000 pairs of weapons and armor, less than 500 soldiers in the county garrison, and only more than 200 war horses.

Ye Hao picked up the account book and looked at it for a while, nodded and shook his head and said to Xu Shuyan: "This Li County is not as bad as we think, now that the spring ploughing is over, the top priority is to distribute the land to the tens of thousands of Taishan thieves and refugees who are stored in Yuejiazhuang, and by the way, they will be included in the household registration." We also have to buy a lot of food, open a warehouse and release food to help more refugees! ”

Xu Shu nodded when he heard this, and agreed with Ye Hao's proposal: "What the lord said is very true, but Shu still has two suggestions. ”

"Tell me about it." Ye Hao asked, he was still full of expectations for Xu Shu's first admonition.

"Actually, it's nothing. First, there are not enough soldiers in our county office, can we transfer the soldiers of the Ye family cavalry regiment; Second, the tax rate set by the original county order is too heavy, can it be readjusted? ”

"Mr. Xu, you are now the county magistrate of this county, as for these small matters of transferring soldiers, you can make your own decisions. By the way, how much was the original tax? ”

"Five taxes and one."

"Shhh Ye Hao gasped and said fiercely: "Emperor Han Ling's original ten taxes and one is enough to anger the heavens and make people resentful. Unexpectedly, this original county order was even more bold and arbitrarily increased taxes. The government forced the people to rebel, and it is no wonder that such a heavy tax is not hacked to death by the Yellow Turbans and the people! Such pests should be killed! ”

"So what do we do now?"

"Exempt the county from paying taxes for one year." Ye Hao made a decisive decision.

Xu Shu panicked for a while, and said in surprise: "Huh? My lord, this is absolutely unacceptable. ”

"If I, Ye Hao, can't even let the civilians have enough to eat, what kind of county will I be the lord of a county, so it's decided!"

"No." Xu Shu was shocked and agreed.

"Mr. Xu, you also have to help me post a notice for seeking talent, as long as you are talented, you can come to unveil the list regardless of your background. Also, you don't have to ask me about such things in the future, everything is up to your husband. ”

Xu Shu looked grateful. A county town is not big, but it is above 10,000 people under one person. This is Ye Hao's absolute trust in him. Death for a confidant. Xu Shu immediately thanked him: "Thank you for your trust, you will definitely do your best to govern Li County!" ”

"Hmm." Ye Hao was very satisfied with this effect. After discussing it with Xu Shu again, he led a group of Tiger Battalion cavalry to inspect the city gate tower.

Time flickered, and more than a week passed.

I don't know what the road is, Xiao Zhen Mi didn't see it, and she went back to her Zhongshan Country Zhen's house. On the contrary, she got together with Yue Ruoyu and the three little girls and became good sisters who never left each other.

However, the wheel of history is still rolling forward, and the times outside have already undergone earth-shaking changes. After the princes of the Eighteenth Route discussed Dong, the ambitions of the princes of all walks of life soared, and they began to attack the surrounding states, counties and counties.

Among them, the most ambitious is Yuan Shao, the former leader of the Eighteenth Route Princes Alliance and the self-proclaimed general of the Che Cavalry.

Yuan Shao not only attacked most of Jizhou under Han Fu, but also began to stretch out to Qingzhou and Youzhou. And the nephew Gao Gan attacked Bingzhou, the eldest son Yuan Tan attacked Qingzhou, and the second son Yuan Xi attacked Youzhou. Yuan Shao's army and Youzhou Gongsun Zhan's army fought endlessly for all the territory of Jizhou, and the youngest son Yuan Shang stayed in Jizhou. I want my sons to dominate a state, and my nephew will merge with the state!

Yefu. A study somewhere.

"Bang! Bang! "Outside the door, a soldier knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

As soon as the door opened, the soldiers of the county government began to shout anxiously: "Report the county order, the big thing is not good, the general of the chariot on the other side of the Yellow River, Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Yuan Shao in Beihai, led Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhu Ling, and the four generals of Gao Lan to defeat Linji, the capital of our Le'an County, and are now killing in Li County." ”

"What? Coming so fast? Ye Hao couldn't help but exclaim, his expression was extremely serious.

The speed of development of Yuan Shao's potential is too fast.

Ye Hao decisively ordered: "You go and inform the four city towers, let the soldiers close the city gates, and prepare for battle." I immediately went to inform the Tiger Battalion cavalry. ”

Li County, north of the city gate tower.

Ye Hao stood on the tower of the city gate, holding the female wall with both hands, and looking towards the north outside the city.

"Boom!" The trampling sound of the war horses that shook the heavens and the earth came from afar.

As far as the eye could see, Yuan Jun waved his flags, his horses galloped, and his drums beat violently.

It was a humanoid dragon with a black pressure of 10,000 people coming from afar, and the earth-shattering formation was forcing towards Lixian. It's intimidating.

"The day of confrontation with the princes is finally coming, let me refresh the history of the entire Three Kingdoms!" Ye Hao said silently in his heart, without the slightest fear, but with a calm expression. His chest was filled with a strong sense of battle and excitement.

Outside the city tower, tens of thousands of troops of the Yuan family were arrayed. (To be continued......)
