Chapter 22 The first sign of strategy requires authority from the Emperor

Zheng Ping picked up the feather fan on the side with his right hand, and lightly fanned his shoulder, dancing like jade: "The county respects it, how many powerful people are there in this Gaotang County, and they have the benefits of the mountains?" ”

Liu Bei was stunned, and then his face was ashamed: "I don't know this." ”

Although when he was a county lieutenant, Liu Bei often asked for warmth in the city, which was quite favored by the people of Li Shu, but after all, Liu Bei's foundation was still shallow, and he didn't know much about the really powerful heroes in Gaotang County.

But soon, Liu Bei understood what Zheng Ping meant: "Mr. wants to let me make friends with the powerful people in Gaotang County through Hu Zhao." ”

"These heroes are in charge of the benefits of the mountains and rivers, and there must be food."

"County Cheng Hu Zhao is in charge of money and grain, and everyone is involved with these wealthy families on weekdays."

"So it seems that this man cannot be killed."

Zhang Fei snorted coldly: "Cheap this guy!" ”

Zheng Ping chuckled: "When employing people now, it won't be a bad thing to tolerate some small mistakes by the scattered officials under your command." ”

"As long as the county respects its prestige and rewards and punishments are clear, its own talents will stand out."

Liu Bei understood.

It was very difficult to pursue the rule of the government from the beginning.

When the water is clear, there is no fish, and most of the scattered officials in Gaotang County are from this county.

Who doesn't have friends and family?

There is no room for sand in his eyes, and as soon as he takes office, he must let this group of loose officials be honest and honest.

It's as difficult as turning a hen into a male.

The county order is honest and honest, and the county officials will naturally compete to follow suit and be proud of it.

The county order is greedy for money and lustful, jealous of the virtuous, even if the virtuous among the scattered officials will only choose to protect themselves and be a mediocre official who does not act.

Not much.

The county Cheng Hu Zhao arrived, and the two officials behind him moved a large box.

"Hu Xiancheng, what do you mean by this?" Liu Bei's face was a little worried.

Hu Zhao asked the official to retreat first, glanced at Zheng Ping in the guest seat, and then bowed to Liu Beichang!

"Xiaguan Hu Zhao is the county magistrate of Gaotang County who served in Zhongping for four years, and he has been in office for more than three years."

"My father, Hu Ding, was fortunate enough to study the law under Kang Chenggong."

Boy!

Is this a rush to climb the relationship?

Liu Bei looked at Zheng Ping, Hu Zhao claimed to be Zheng Xuan's subordinate, no matter whether it was true or not, Liu Bei had to be cautious.

Zhang Fei didn't have this concern, and drank but: "You said yes?" Kang Chenggong is such a noble and virtuous man, and all the people under his command are virtuous, how can there be a son like you who behaves nonsense? ”

"Even if there is, then my eldest brother punishing you is also cleaning up the portal for Kang Chenggong!"

Liu Bei's eyes also became stern.

Hu Zhao broke out in a cold sweat and retorted: "The county respects Mingjian, if you are not afraid of officials, you are afraid of management!" ”

"The previous county lieutenants have all died mysteriously, and the lower official is just a weak county magistrate, how dare he disobey the orders of the county order?"

Zhang Fei walked towards Hu Zhao viciously, and his finger bones clicked: "You still dare to quibble?" I'm going to get rid of you as a scourge for my eldest brother! ”

Hu Zhao was so frightened that he shouted to Zheng Ping: "Remembering my father's heart of learning, please Zheng Gongzi save me!" ”

Zhang Fei's fist fell on the bridge of Hu Zhao's nose, and he turned his head to look at Zheng Ping: "Sir, do you want to intercede for this thief?" ”

Whether it is actions or words, Zhang Fei's performance can't find the slightest fault.

Hu Zhao's sweat soaked his shirt again, and he looked at Zheng Ping with blank eyes.

"General Yide, since this person claims to have a relationship with his father, look at the thin face and temporarily dissipate the wrath of the thunder. If you ask the reason for this, you will inevitably give an explanation to the county. Zheng Ping slowly opened his mouth and motioned for Zhang Fei to release him.

Zhang Fei snorted coldly and withdrew his fist, but did not forget to threaten: "Look at the face of Mr., spare your life for the time being!" ”

Hu Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

For the time being, the life is saved, and then it is time to show value.

"Hu Zhao, you have a chance to recommend yourself to the county, think about it." Zheng Ping poured a bottle of white water, although his words were plain, he had a momentum of not being angry and arrogant.

Hu Zhao originally wanted to have some more relationships, but seeing Zheng Ping's attitude, he couldn't help but be afraid.

Removing the mixed thoughts in his heart, Hu Zhao took a deep breath and faced Liu Bei: "County Zun, the lower officials know which family in Gaotang County lacks gold and silver, which family has surplus grain and rice, and which family has wise men and women who are idle at home. ”

"In this Gaotang County, there are no strong people, famous and wealthy businessmen that I don't know about Hu Zhao."

"I am willing to be sent from the county!"

Speaking of this, Hu Zhao's eyes flashed a little proud.

As early as when he followed the previous Gao Tang Ling, Hu Zhao was prepared to deal with today's situation.

No matter who is the Gaotang Order, they need a county leader who understands Gaotang County!

In troubled times, I'm not afraid that you are corrupt and pervert the law, but I am afraid that you are too stupid.

But the next moment, Hu Zhao's pride froze instantly.

But I saw Zheng Ping gently shaking the feather fan, and the heroes in Gaotang County were like a few treasures.

"Zheng Gongzi, you? You? How can you be so clear? Hu Zhao was so shocked that he took a step back.

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei also looked at Zheng Ping in surprise.

Zheng Ping chuckled: "In the past, when I traveled to Zhuzhou County, I came to Gaotang County to visit the famous Huaxin, so I naturally have an understanding of Gaotang County. ”

Liu Bei was in awe: "Mr. Ziyu was originally from Gaotang County, and I also visited when I was a county lieutenant, but Mr. Ziyu went to Luoyang and did not return, and I hate to meet him." ”

Zhang Fei bluffed and said in a loud voice: "Since Mr. knows Gaotang County, why do you want to leave Hu Zhao behind?" ”

"Looking at his appearance just now, it seems that the eldest brother will not dare to kill him!"

Zheng Ping glanced at Hu Zhao: "Those who are in official positions but dare to violate the law and discipline often think very highly of themselves and are irreplaceable. ”

"If the county wants to use such a person to serve, you must first destroy his ostentatious pride, so that he can be cautious and always correct his identity."

"Although the county is lenient and benevolent, it must also establish authority."

Hu Zhao broke out in a cold sweat!

Zheng Ping completely ignored his presence, and explained what he was thinking one by one.

How arrogant is this?

Liu Bei understood.

Zheng Ping is helping his own majesty.

Hu Zhao dared to act like this, because he had mastered the indispensable information about Liu Bei's foothold in Gaotang County.

But now, Zheng Ping has turned the intelligence that Hu Zhao is proud of into dispensable.

How does this not make Hu Zhao panic?

Zhang Fei laughed, and his heart was very happy: "I have seen that Hu Zhao's house is not pleasing to the eye, since this is the case, I will put Hu Zhao in prison and torture the whereabouts of the gold and silver in my private collection." ”

Hu Zhao was in a hurry.

The turn of events caught Hu Zhao off guard.

It shouldn't be like this!

Hu Zhao no longer had arrogance, and hurriedly begged Liu Bei for mercy: "County Zun, the official uniform!" Wangxian Zun Kai Grace! ”

"In the future, the lower officials will definitely obey their orders, and they don't dare to have half a half-hearted!"

Seeing that Liu Bei's face was pale, Hu Zhao looked at Zheng Ping again: "Zheng Gongzi, although you know the heroes and powerful people in Gaotang County, the affairs in the county are complicated, and you can't do everything yourself." ”

"Xia Guan is willing to resign from the post of county magistrate and be willing to be a scattered official beside Zheng Gongzi!"
