Ba County, the county warden's house. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

With a few documents in his hand, he walked briskly through the corridor, and the officials and soldiers saluted him along the way.

Passing through the two courtyards, Jun Cheng came to the outside of Zhao Bu's room, he stopped outside the door and said, "My lord." ”

"Come in."

Zhao Bu's voice came from inside the house, and he seemed to be in a bad mood, and he was clearly a little weak.

The county is the leader of the county's government affairs under the Taishou, so he naturally knows the reason.

After the new Yizhou Thorn Shi took office, he used the imperial court to repair the palace room and donated wood and stone from all over the country, and wantonly apportioned to the subordinate counties, collecting money like crazy and having a great appetite, so that the previous Yizhou Thorn Shi looked at the dust. The point is that the task assigned by the state government this time is too outrageous, the people are very resentful, the county collection is not going well, and seeing that the delivery date is approaching, the tax is still a big difference, and it is strange that Lord Taishou is in a good mood.

Jun Cheng sighed secretly and walked into the house.

Zhao Bu leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes, and rubbed his hands on his head, showing his exhaustion. You must know that Zhao is not a weak scholar, Wudou Midao rebelled, he personally led the army to suppress it, and Taishou, who led the troops to fight, was not so haggard in the war, so it is conceivable that he has been under a lot of pressure recently.

"How many?"

After meeting, Zhao Bu asked the first sentence.

Jun Cheng knew what Zhao was asking, and said with a wry smile: "Fifty percent." ”

"Fifty percent......"

Zhao Bu opened his eyes, a little disappointment and helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he sighed: "The tax apportioned by the assassin is four times that of the imperial court. We can complete fifty percent, in fact, we have already exceeded the task, but the state capital still can't pay the difference. ”

Jun Cheng was a little angry, and snorted coldly: "I can receive fifty percent, thanks to my lord, you didn't increase taxes again, and I asked a few counties next to me, and they all added some more." My lord, I am afraid that the land will be more brutal in the future, and if you don't make some preparations early and do what you like, I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future. ”

Zhao Bu shook his head: "You came here with me from Nanyang to take office, and you also know how much money you spend on your family in order to sit in the position of the Taishou of Ba County, and you will always have to return to your capital if you have the opportunity." But it's not that I don't want to add it now, the state has already added so much, how can there be room for more? As for whether the assassin will be looking for trouble...... Hmph, I am in charge of the military and political affairs of a county, and my rank is 2,000 stones, although he is the history of the state assassin, and he is nominally my boss, but he only has the right to supervise, and his rank is 600 stones. He's not too much, everyone is fine, if you want to find trouble, I'll be afraid of him? ”

Jun Cheng smiled bitterly and didn't say anything.

Zhao Bu is right, Taishou holds real power, and the rank ratio can also see Taishou's actual status in the imperial court. However, the state assassin has the power to supervise the county guard, and if he offends the county guard, it is impossible for the assassin to kill and ask for the crime, but others can casually make some stumbling blocks enough for the county guard to drink a pot, for example, it is very easy to tell the central government some bad things about the county guard, and it is very easy to use the topic to play and point the deer as a horse.

Moreover, this time Yin Jian was assigned a task for the imperial court to repair the palace room, and it is very likely that he was falsely accused by Yin Jian of being "disrespectful to the Son of Heaven". With the emperor's temperament, as well as the greed of those in the court, once they agree with this statement, Zhao will be in great trouble.

However, he has known Zhao Bu for many years, and knows that Zhao Bu has made up his mind, and it is useless to persuade him again.

What Jun Cheng can do is to always stand with Zhao Bu and face the future situation side by side.

"My lord, the Assassin's Mansion sent someone to deliver a private letter."

"Oh, where?"

Zhao Bu sat upright, he had never met with Hao Jian, and he didn't know him before, but Xun Jian sent someone to deliver a letter to him, which made him a little confused.

"Here." Jun Cheng took out the letter from the paperwork and handed it to Zhao Bu.

Zhao Bu opened the letter, and his expression gradually became strange.

Jun Cheng was a confidant of Zhao Bu, and he was not embarrassed, and asked directly: "My lord, what does the letter say?" ”

"Lord Thorn Shi heard that I have a territory under the rule of Ba County, and there are celebrities from the Xun clan in Yingchuan who have joined him, and invited Xun Xiuruo to go to the state capital for a while. I read the meaning revealed in the letter of Lord Assassin Shi, probably thinking that Xun Xiuruo's service to the lord is overkill, and I hope to dig Xun Xiuruo to serve in the state capital. ”

In the end, Zhao Bu was meaningful: "Xun Xiuruo was only invited in the assassin letter, and Yu was not invited to ...... wise."

Jun Cheng said in a deep voice: "If Xun Xiu is to the unwise mayor, no, he should be called the unwise city lord, and if Xun Xiu is respectful to the unwise city lord, I am afraid that Lord Assassin Shi has miscalculated." In addition, a high-ranking family like the Xun family has a comprehensive consideration for everyone, reputation, family background, and development potential...... Of course, Xun Xiu's surrender to the deer collar may be a special case, at least on the surface, it doesn't seem to make any sense, but I don't think that Lord Thorn Shi can snatch people away from the deer collar, and in terms of his various actions after taking office, it is a miracle that Xun Xiu is willing to assist him. ”

Zhao Bu obviously thought deeply of this, and said with a smile: "Send someone to chase the deer to say something, Lord Assassin Shi has a letter, we always want to help bring a word." By the way, help me take a look at Zhang Ji, he is going to stay in Zhulu for a while, and tell him that he must come to Jiangzhou before leaving. ”

"Okay."

Jun Cheng responded and asked: "The person who first digs up the deer leader of the assassin history, should we remind the unwise city lord of the true intention of Lord Assassin Shi to invite Xun Xiuruo?" ”

"Hints are sufficient, we should not mix them. I believe that the shrewdness of the fish knows what to do. ”

The officials of the county guard soon came to the deer territory.

Because it was related to the history of Yizhou, the officials of the county guard insisted on seeing the fish and talking about it. Yi Feng had no choice but to contact the lord through all the people in the world and let Yu Buzhi rush back to the territory.

The city lord's mansion is still being built, and Yu Buzhi is still meeting guests in the lord's office.

The official of the county guard government briefly reported the situation and said: "This is the general situation, the unwise city lord might as well think about it carefully, and send someone to Jiangzhou to say goodbye, so that the county guard can reply to the state government." ”

Yu Buzhi said: "It's hard work, please say hello to Zhao Taishou when you go back." ”

The official nodded, and the subtext of Yu Buzhi's words was to tell him that Zhulu Ling had understood the hint and expressed his gratitude to the county guard. In this way, his mission was successfully completed, which not only secretly reminded the deer leader, but also allowed the county guard of Ba County to stay away from this troubled water, so as to avoid giving the state capital a handle.

After the officials left, Yu Buzhi quickly found Xu Shu and Yi Feng.

Yi Feng said: "Mr. Xiu Ruo went to Jizhou, do you want to send someone to chase him back, and make a mistake?" ”

Xu Shu shook his head and said: "Since Lord Assassin Shi intends to recruit Brother Xiu Ruo, we will chase him back, and Brother Xiu Ruo refuses in person, I'm afraid everyone will be even more embarrassed." The subordinates thought that they would just find a reason to prevaricate in the past. ”

Yu Buzhi sneered: "He wants to dig up my people, and I have to call people back to cooperate with him?" I'm sick in the head! Of course, you still have to find a reason, after all, Hugh Ruo is chasing the deer leader, and many people know that he has not shown up for a long time after going to Jizhou, and he needs to have a suitable reason for the outside world...... In this way, let's just say that he went back to Yingchuan for some reason, and we don't know when he will come back. (To be continued.) )
