Chapter 5: The Quest (1)
Chapter 5: Quest (1)
Cangzhou, the defense envoy Ya 'door'.
Zheng Ziming sat in a pavilion in the back 'flower' garden, and browsed and reviewed the official documents placed on the stone table one by one.
The official documents on the table were piled high, and he was busy all morning, but he didn't see much of it. And on the path leading to the front hall of the 'flower' garden, Li Shun'er stumbled over with another stack of official documents high to the tip of his own nose.
Zheng Ziming was alarmed by Li Shun'er's footsteps, turned his head, and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Don't do it, don't do it, if you continue to do it like this, Lao Tzu will definitely vomit blood!"
At the other end of the table were teapots and teacups, but the water was already cold. For the whole morning, he didn't even bother to take half a sip. The upper and lower lips are dry and look like two dried dried shrimps.
Li Shun'er's image is not much better than him. Although he was wearing the silk robe that Si Tian had joined the army, the sleeves and the front placket were stained with ink. In order to make it easier to run, the hem of the robe was also lifted high by this person, tied around the waist, and a pair of "colored" nose calf shorts and two sweaty little "legs" were exposed.
Seeing that Zheng Ziming disliked the fact that he had brought too many official documents, Li Shun immediately grinned and shouted out the wrongs: "My lord, there are really not many! His subordinates have tried their best to deal with everything that can be handled overnight." But soon the summer grain will be put into the warehouse, next to the canal, there are still a large number of ownerless fields that have not been measured and distributed, if you don't grasp a little tighter......"
"Alright, alright, you just put it on the edge of the table. Don't show your merits, you won't be rewarded if you show your merits!" Zheng Ziming didn't have the patience to listen to his complaints, and interrupted with a frown.
"Alas, alas!" Si Tian joined the army, Li Shun'er didn't say yes, and put the official document in his arms in the other corner of the table. Immediately, he unceremoniously grabbed a cup of cold tea from the table and poured it into his throat.
"Mu Monkey and Crown!" Seeing that he couldn't change his rough appearance, Zheng Ziming pouted and counted a sentence. Then he also poured himself a bowl of cold tea, and while drinking it, he continued to flip through the next official document.
Li Shun'er didn't dare to disturb him, but she was unwilling to leave. Like a watchdog, he waited beside the table with his eyes open, panting constantly, "Whoop, whoop, whoop......
"If you have something to say, don't pretend!" Zheng Ziming immediately guessed that Li Shun'er had other plans, looked up at this person, and commanded in a low voice.
"Hey, hey!" Li Shun'er didn't say yes again. Immediately, he held the corner of the stone table with both hands, and prayed pitifully: "My lord, my lord, although my subordinates can read a few words, they really don't read much." Yes, to be able to lead a horse to an adult, already, has been a blessing from the previous life. Now, now I have done this Si Tian to join the army, just as, as the adults said, Mu, Mu that monkey and crown. So, so the subordinates want to ......"
"Why, say two words to you, you still have a temper!" Zheng Ziming was slightly stunned when he heard this, put down the official document he was browsing, and said in surprise. "Then I'll apologize to you......"
As he spoke, he prepared to get up. When he landed, he scared Li Shun'er out of the sky, and hurriedly rushed over, holding his arm with both hands, "Don't dare, don't dare, adult, villain, villain doesn't mean that, really not that meaning! Villain, villain still wants to lead troops, even if it is with a baggage battalion, it is more at ease than now!"
"Peace of mind, aren't you doing a good job? What's not steady?" I didn't expect Li Shun'er to find herself, but she actually wanted to resign. Zheng Ziming was 'confused', looked the other party up and down sideways, and asked in the softest tone possible.
Although she didn't mean to blame the other party at all, Li Shun'er knelt down with a "poof", covered her face with her hands, and cried in a low voice: "My lord, my subordinates have not studied seriously for a few days at all, and they are literate, and the number of literate words is also very limited. The adult 'handed' such an important errand to his subordinates, and the subordinates couldn't sleep at the beginning of what they liked at first. However, there are millions of acres of land, more than 15,000 households, and more than 4,000 brothers' professional fields. If, in case of delaying the affairs of the adults, the villain will die and die!"
"That's it, look at your appearance!" Zheng Ziming suddenly realized, got up and moved his legs, and put Li Shun'er aside, "Get out! You can't even be an official, what else can you do? I can't stop buying a piece of tofu and kill myself directly on it." ”
"Subordinate, subordinate, subordinate, every sentence, from the bottom of my heart!" Li Shun refused to obey the order, raised his hand to wipe the tears and hot sweat on his face, and sobbed and added. "Your subordinates, your subordinates are loyal to you. In the past few months, I haven't slept a single night! However, the more things have been done, and the more they have been done, the more complicated they are. If it goes on like this, it will definitely delay your business. At that time, even if you don't pursue it, brothers, brothers will have to spit me to death!"
"So you're worried about this?" Zheng Ziming laughed dumbly, "Why did they spray you? They did a better job than you, or did you pretend to be a public and 'private', and they got the handle?"
"Subordinate, if your subordinate takes an extra half an acre of land, the sky will thunder!" Li Shun'er 'excited' Lingling shivered, immediately raised his right hand, and swore to the sky!" "My lord, the reward given by my lord to my subordinates is enough for my subordinates to eat and drink for several lifetimes. At home, there is still a job to divide in the family, if the subordinates are no longer satisfied, then, it is really a conscience ......"
"Don't swear, I believe you! Besides, it's not a decoration to record joining the army!" Zheng Ziming waved his hand and interrupted with a smile.
Cangzhou is located on the border of the Han and Liao kingdoms, far from Bianliang. Therefore, as both a stabbing history and a defensive envoy, he can let go of his 'sex'. And by eradicating the local tyrants, he will 'spend' the magnates 'spending' several generations to annex a large number of fertile land that has fallen into their hands, and regain the "official ownership". According to their own ideas, they can be distributed to the soldiers under their command and the ordinary people who have no foundation, so that the vast majority of people can benefit from themselves.
Therefore, like the first few friends and henchmen who followed him, such as Tao Da 'Chun', Pan Mei, Guo Xin, Tao Yong, Li Shun'er, etc., they have all gained a lot. The brothers brought over from Lijiazhai also got a lot of jobs according to the size of their merits and the level of their official positions. There are hundreds of acres in the most, and dozens of acres in the few, and everyone has become a rich man.
In this way, in a short period of time, officials at all levels will not deliberately embezzle. As for the continued expansion of people's greed in the future, that is a matter of the future, and Zheng Ziming has not yet had the time to think about it in the long term.
However, there are pros and cons to everything. With a decisive blow to the powerful people, Zheng Ziming quickly took control of the place. In addition, he used the confiscated land and money to quickly buy people's hearts. However, the disadvantage of his insufficient talent reserve has been completely exposed.
Not to mention the several counties under the rule, so far the county order, the county lieutenant and the main book have not been able to gather people, so they stabbed Shi under the command of seven soldiers, Si Gong, Si Cang, Si Hu, Si Tian, Si Bing, Justice, Si Shi, all have to use the original battalion commanders to carry the account, for several months, the big guys joked and made a car after car without saying, and they were all tired and exhausted.
