Chapter 450: A Trip to Youzhou
Wang Rong stood up, and the five people in the hall were in a mess, each with their own thoughts. Wang Rong looked at their uncertain expressions, didn't say anything, and went to rest.
When Wang Rong left the main hall, Wang Chongshun looked at Hua Bufan and Lin Zongsui, squeezed out an embarrassed smile on his face, and said, "Thank you for the help of the Flower Supervision Envoy and Chief Manager Lin."
Hua Bufan's face was expressionless, with a lazy look, and said, "Wang Zhoumu, I will help here if I can. You have to know that the detectives of the Detective Department and the Arrest Division are everywhere, and if you have any crooked thoughts, you should weigh your head first."
Hua Bufan's voice was flat, but the words he said made Wang Chongshun feel uneasy. The Department of Detective Affairs is fortunate to say that they are in charge of the military generals of the DPRK and China, the armies of various places, and the enemy's situation. The power of the arrest department is great, from the emperor to the court, down to the township officials, and at the same time there are counter-espionage.
Wang Chongshun thought of the achievements of the Arrest Division in the past two years, and the whole person was not good. At this time, Lin Zongsui said, "Wang Zhoumu is relieved, now that the Holy Lord has shown you a way, just do it well. The saint ordered the soldiers, and the last general will no longer bother."
After saying that, Lin Zongsui arched his hand, bowed to the four people in the same hall, and turned to leave.
Wu Xinghan also left, he was the head of the First Guard, and it was not suitable for him to be close to the local officials, and the Holy Lord ordered the Fifth Army to accompany him, and he still had to prepare.
Jinyang County Ling Pei Congke watched the others leave, stepped forward a few steps, came to Wang Chongshun, and said, "Lord Governor, although the Holy Lord asked the lower officials to accompany him, he didn't ask anything, and the lower officials ...... in his heart."
Wang Chongshun sat on the chair, looked at Pei Congke, and said, "The meaning of the saint, you have also heard, the farmland around Jinyang, which is mountainous, is an excellent place to reward farming and encourage mining, and the road to Jizhou has been built. The way of trade is also open, and you can follow these lines."
Pei Congke, the commander of Jinyang County, nodded and said: "At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the tax law was enacted, and the commercial tax was heavier than the agricultural tax.
Wang Chongshun took a sip of tea and snorted, "I don't know if there are any capable people in the court, but the matter of the tax law was personally investigated by the saint, and the saint's vision is much longer than ours."
Pei Congke nodded in response, "Yes! Be! Yes!"
The next day, Wang Rong and his entourage left Jinyang, this time the pomp was even greater, and the Fifth Army of 50,000 people followed. The team marched north to Yanmen County. From Yanmen County to Dai County, I made a short stay in Dai County, and then went straight to Youzhou and came to Jidu.
"Qiqi Shengshang, the army stationed in Youzhou now is only Zhou Yi's Eighteenth Army, and county soldiers and county soldiers are being formed in various parts of Youzhou."
Wang Xu had in his hands the information sent by the Arrest Department and the Arrest Department respectively, and he then reported: "Saint, although Youzhou has been pacified, there are constant bandits in various places, and many people have been displaced.
Wang Yan nodded and said, "Tell Hou Yan to let the people of the Supervision Mansion carefully keep an eye on the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion and the Governor's Mansion, as well as the counties below, if there are officials who violate the law and discipline, investigate!" If there's a ruffian bully, check!"
After Wang Xu wrote down Wang Rong's order, he arranged for someone to pass the order.
Wang Rong then said, "Go, send Wu Xinghan over."
"Whoa!"
After a while, Wu Xinghan galloped over and followed closely beside the car. Wang Rong said to him through the window, "Old Wu, are you curious all the way why I want to bring the Fifth Army with you?"
Wu Xinghan bowed his hand and said, "The Holy Lord's order, the last general will obey it."
Wang Rong sighed and said helplessly: "If I could, I really don't want to move the Fifth Army, but Youzhou is newly attached, and there is only the Eighteenth Army here, so the strength is really thin.
Moreover, the Eighteenth Army, state soldiers, county soldiers, and county soldiers, there are too many recruits, and the equipment is poor, and the Gaya and Maoqian in Liaodong County are eyeing each other, once there is a change in Youzhou, the strength of our Tang State will definitely not be enough. So the Fifth Army was mobilized to meet the needs of the enemy."
Wu Xinghan bowed his hand and said, "The last general will obey the holy will and will definitely defend Youzhou
The water is impassable, so that the night has no chance."
The walls of Jidu soon appeared in front of him, and there were traces of battle on them, and the black blood stains were dazzling. Zhou Yi and Lu Hongbo took the lead, Hou Yan and Tian Anping followed, and a large group of officials from the three prefectures of Youzhou waited outside the city gate.
When they saw the mighty Tang Army, their faces changed unconsciously, especially when they saw the officers and men of the Fifth Army full of spirit, the armor glowing with cold light, the blood-colored swords and spears, and the timid officials, their legs and stomachs began to cramp.
Wang Rong's car stopped in front of Zhou Yi, Lu Hongbo, Hou Yan and Tian Anping, and the four of them bowed and saluted, "The last general, the minister, see the saint!"
Wang Rong walked out of the carriage, got off the car, came to the four of them, helped them weakly, and said with a smile, "Everyone, Aiqing, get even."
"Thank you!"
Under the leadership of Lu Hongbo, Wang Rong took Xiaojiewei and entered the capital of Ji.
Jidu has a long history, dating back to the Yin Shang period, where a city-state was naturally formed, which is said to have been built by the descendants of the Yellow Emperor. It became a feudal state of the Shang Dynasty, and the state was intermittent. King Wu of Zhou, after the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, sealed the descendants of Tang Yao in Ji and established the Kingdom of Ji. In the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Ji Kingdom was destroyed by the Yan Kingdom, a vassal state surnamed Ji, and the Ji capital became the capital of the Yan Kingdom.
After Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he established Guangyang County, and Jidu became the seat of Guangyang County. Since then, the thistle capital is customized for the Guangyang County Administration, and after the establishment of Youguo, the capital of the thistle has been moved for a hundred years.
Before and after Jidu, as the capital for two thousand years, Jiguo, Yanguo, Qin Dynasty, and Youguo have invested in Jidu, making the scale of Jidu comparable to Xianyang, the capital of Qin, and the largest city in the north of the Central Plains.
Wang Rong came to the main hall of the Youzhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion and sat down, Lu Hongbo got up first, saluted and said: "Holy Lord, now that bandits are rampant in Youzhou, Chief Tian and General Zhou have been suppressing bandits, and the results are remarkable. Youguo retains officials, and some people take advantage of the chaos of the situation to fill their pockets and give them privately, and the Hou Supervision Envoy has arrested these officials with the people of the Supervision Mansion. The main problem is in the minister's place, the minister is really difficult, the number of men in various places has decreased sharply, there is no progress in spring ploughing, and now it is spring, the roads are muddy, business travel is impassable, and the minister needs money everywhere."
Wang Rong nodded and said, "Lu Zhoumu, you write a recital, play it to the imperial court, and let the political hall discuss it."
Wang Rong pointed at Wu Xinghan and said to the four of them, "Wu Xinghan, the commander of the Fifth Army, will be deployed to Youzhou, mainly stationed in Xiangping City."
Wu Xinghan greeted the four of them one by one, and Wang Rong continued: "I am going to form at least two more armies in Youzhou, stationed in Liaoxi and Shanggu County respectively, based on the current state soldiers, county soldiers and county soldiers, and at the same time draw capable officers from the Fifth Army and the Eighteenth Army."
"Your Servants obey!"
The five bowed.
