In the fifth year of Chongzhen, in September, Xu Zhaoqi, the county magistrate, was killed by Liukou only seven days after taking office.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the report in front of him, and his mood was as if he was on a jumping machine.

Very angry and sad at the same time.

The magistrate who has only been in office for seven days!

Even if it is the most ruthless emperor's family, it will be a little hidden, Zhu Youzhen gloomily: "Comfort Xu Zhaoqi's family and give more money." ”

The great eunuch Cao Huachun responded: "Honor." ”

His voice changed: "Your Majesty, there is a small problem now. ”

Zhu Youzhen: "Oh? ”

Cao Huachun said in a low voice: "The officials of the DPRK and China are no longer willing to go to Shaanxi and Shanxi as officials. In the past, if there were vacancies in the prefecture and county, the civil officials would definitely form gangs and recommend each other, eager to install their own people. But recently, Shaanxi and Shanxi have vacated several positions in the prefecture of the county, but no one is willing to go, everyone shirks each other, and no one is willing to recommend talents. The officials who were named by the Ministry of Officials actually had to make connections, send money, and ask the people from the Ministry of Officials to help them go to Shaanxi and Shanxi. ”

Zhu Youzhen was in the mood to jump over the building just now, and got on the jumping machine again. He thought that he had already fallen to the first floor just now, but it turned out that this was the twenty-second floor of the Kuixing Tower, and he could jump down again.

"These damn officials!" Zhu Youzhen was furious: "When you want benefits, your hands are stretched out, and when you need them to worry about me, you will hide in the corner alone." ”

Cao Huachun said in a low voice: "I will ...... after seven days in office Belch...... This situation ...... It's normal for them to be reluctant. ”

Zhu Youzhen sighed heavily: "There is no good news?" ”

Cao Huachun: "There is good news, after the Liukou conquered Zezhou, they collected a large number of ships and wanted to cross the Yellow River south and enter Mengjin County......

When he said this, Zhu Youzhen was taken aback: "Oh, isn't that near Luoyang?" ”

Cao Huachun: "The emperor is not in a hurry, the plan to cross the river failed to succeed." A squire named White Kite organized a militia and stationed them along the Yellow River. According to the report of the officials below, the white kite organized 100,000 archers, and there were plenty of arrows, although they were used. On the banks of the Yellow River, arrows rained down, and the Liukou did not dare to go ashore and retreated to Shanxi. ”

"100,000 archers?" When Zhu Youzhen heard these words, his face was not surprised, but angry: "Tell me the numbers again?" ”

Cao Huachun said in a low voice: "The old slave also thinks that 100,000 is too much, it should only be a few thousand archers, maybe it is because of the complex hydrology of the Yellow River, it is not easy for the thieves to land, so they retreat with bows and arrows." ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded: "It is still quite good to stop the Liukou from crossing the Yellow River, alas!" Pretty good! ”

It's like you're on a jet.

He suddenly thought of something: "Those who can govern by the king of men will be supplemented by sages." The people of the mountains and forests who are virtuous and literary and artistic can be called have a division to appoint, and I will appoint them to try to govern. ”

Cao Huachun: "The emperor is wise. ”

Zhu Youzhen "snapped" the verdict: "In Shaanxi and Shanxi, the officials don't want to go, right?" That's fine! Then choose the folk talents. Let officials from all over the country recommend and recommend them to see if there are any outstanding talents like white kites and willing to share my worries, so they will be arranged to be officials in Shaanxi and Shanxi. ”——

The autumn wind and autumn rain are getting cooler.

Autumn and October are coming.

Li Daoxuan and Gao Yiye took a painting boat and drove on the Yellow River in autumn.

Of course, the painting boat is not an ordinary painting boat, but a plastic painting boat, which comes from Cai Xinzi's hand and uses a motor as the power. Part of the ship's building is carved with railings and columns, which is extremely gorgeous.

There are also a variety of modern snacks on board.

Of course, there are not only the two of them on the painting boat, but also Gao Yiye's escort, and in addition, there is another person: the best talent among the first junior high school graduates of Gaojia Village, Chen Yuanbo.

After graduating from junior high school, Chen Yuanbo came to Puzhou and worked as the chief master of Zhizhou Swing for a while, and the result of the combination of theory and practice was to transform the "invalid knowledge" he learned in school into a large number of "effective knowledge".

Now Chen Yuanbo is already a practical talent who can take charge of himself.

A few days ago, Zhu Youzhen issued a holy decree, saying that the county magistrate of Wen County was killed by thieves within seven days of taking office, and a new county decree was needed for everyone to recommend.

As a result, the members of the court were collectively dumbfounded, and this time they did not arrange their own people to take over.

So, Puzhou Zhizhou Swing turned to the imperial court, saying that his master Chen Yuanbo was a very powerful folk talent, and he could serve as the magistrate of Wen County.

Anyway, no one else was willing to go, so Zhu Youzhen waved his pen and approved it.

So Chen Yuanbo put down his master's work, put on a Tsing Yi, took a team of junior high school students sent from Gaojia Village to reinforce him, and then took 500 Gaojia villagers to embark on the road to Wen County to take office.

Chen Yuanbo set off from Yongji Gudu Wharf, with a huge team of more than 500 people, took a transport ship to Wenxian, passed by Xiaolangdi, and met Tianzun's painting boat here.

Of course, he understood that Tianzun must have deliberately waited for him in the middle of the river.

So he took the initiative to take the board and went to Tianzun's painting boat.

"See Tianzun!" Chen Yuanbo was very courteous.

Li Daoxuan smiled at him: "You're going to be a county magistrate, how are you feeling?" ”

Chen Yuanbo said: "I really don't hide it from Tianzun, I heard that Fan Shangxiao, the governor of Henan, led the army to rescue Huaiqing Mansion, but he didn't win the Liukou, and he was beaten and ran away. Liukou is still moving around Huaiqing Mansion, and he is really a little scared. ”

Li Daoxuan smiled: "Don't be afraid, with our five hundred militia firecrackers running over, as long as they stay in the county town and don't go out, it will be difficult for the rogues to get in, and it's ......."

He pointed to the silver thread Tianzun embroidered on Chen Yuanbo's chest: "I will come over to see you from time to time, if there are thieves attacking the county seat, you just have to defend it with firearms, and I will bring reinforcements to save you." Wen County is on the banks of the Yellow River, and our militia can come by boat, and the speed of support will not be slow. ”

When Chen Yuanbo heard this, his heart was a little relieved: "However, if it shrinks in the county, it will be difficult to develop those big industries in our Gaojia Village." ”

The large factories in Gaojia Village, each of which covers an extremely wide area, are unlikely to be developed in a small county town, and must be built outside the city.

Of course, Li Daoxuan also knows this.

He smiled and waved his hand: "Don't make it big at the beginning, let's build some small handicraft factories, all crowded in the county, and wait for the rogues to retreat, and then develop and grow, be flexible." ”

Chen Yuanbo: "Obey!" ”

After the two finished talking, Gao Yiye next to him finally seized the opportunity to speak: "I heard that the origin of the name Wen County is because there are two hot springs in the county, right?" I really want to soak in the hot springs. ”
