Chapter 64
"Oh, look at who I've found to be the postmaster. Why don't we get Zhang Fei from Xuande Palace? ”
Cao Cao's joke made Guo Jia couldn't help laughing
"There's no need to bother, Guo Ming himself has a lot of money, and Ming Gong can take a fancy to him holding such a position, and he is also interested in him not lacking money."
"yes, I just don't know if he's up to the task."
"I guess it should be possible."
Guo Jia still has confidence in his younger brother.
What really moved Cao Cao was a recent letter from Zao Yuan asking for commendation.
Zao Yuan said that this year's locust plague could have failed to harvest the grains, even if it was the best, it would have to be reduced by sixty percent, at least it would be ashamed of Ming Gong Cao Cao.
However, Guo Ming escorted grain and grass to him at a critical moment, and also gave him an electric mosquito swatter, an insecticide weapon.
Zao Yuan organized 100,000 people to kill day and night, and finally initially contained the locust plague.
The reason for his writing this letter was two things, the first was to report to Cao Cao the current situation and the possible situation in the future.
That is, the locust plague has been controlled on his side, but the source of the locust plague is in Yuan Shu, and no one controls it for the time being.
But if he dares to come again, he will definitely fight to the death against the locusts to defend the food and grass.
The second thing is to give credit to these 100,000 people. They fought the locusts no easier than the warriors in front of them, and they fought day and night. Cao Cao felt that this made sense.
The third is to ask Guo Ming for credit, hoping that Cao Cao can reward Guo Ming.
Cao Cao knew at a glance that this was Guo Jia's handiwork. Zao Yuan is an honest man, he stammers when he speaks, and when he sees Cao Cao, he will only stand there with his head down and his hands down.
It's all like following the arrangement.
His own credit has to be given to him by others.
However, if an honest person does not open his mouth for ten thousand years, it will be difficult for people to refuse this opening.
Cao Cao felt that he should indeed be rewarded with something.
Guo Ming is indeed close to Liu Bei, but he still thinks about himself.
The position of Consul General and Postal Supervisor of Yanzhou is indeed a fat shortage, and it is an idle position.
Just let Guo Ming have something to do, just don't get too close to Liu Bei and them.
There is only one history of Yanzhou from beginning to end, and that is Cao Cao himself.
Cao Cao is now the pastor of the four states, which is equivalent to hanging the history of the four states.
Now it is actually Xun Yu who is really exercising this power.
If it is in this order, the Yanzhou assassin Cao Cao ordered Guo Ming to be the governor of Yanzhou, inspect the officials in various places, and if there is anything, he can directly report to Yanzhou on behalf of Shi Xunyu.
After all, Guo Ming is just a general inspector and postal inspector, and if you divide it further, there are also postal inspectors of various counties.
In short, Guo Ming inspected the county guards, and the county governors below inspected the county orders.
The county governor post, report to the governor's post Guo Ming, and Guo Ming will go to Xun Yu to report.
It is necessary to bring every county in Yanzhou to this errand to be completed.
But before he set off, it was already doomed, and there was a place that Guo Ming couldn't go, and that was Pei County.
The official name of Pei County is Xiao Pei, and now it is where Liu Bei is guarding.
After Cao Cao led his troops away, Guo Ming went to the land of Yanzhou first.
The assassin of Yanzhou is Cao Cao, and the one who is really in charge of daily affairs is Changshi Chen Qun.
Cao Cao's expedition this time was to let him come from Xudu to act as an agent for Yanzhou first.
Chen Qun didn't bother to care about Guo Ming. He is really familiar with the two brothers Guo Ming and Guo Jia.
He is a native of Yingchuan, the Chen family of Yingchuan.
At that time, Yingchuan private school was prevalent, almost to the point of a private school in three steps and a academy in five steps.
The world's teachers are from Yingchuan, so the world's talents are also from Yingchuan.
Guo Jia is younger than all of them, and Guo Ming is even younger.
When he saw what Chen Qun's official title was, he didn't care about it at first, he first had to bow his head and call "Brother Chen".
Yanzhou is actually the territory of Yingchuan Brother Chen, so good!
From the above, the first thing Guo Ming has to do is to inspect Chen Qun, and in fact, he doesn't need to check anything.
Chen Qun had just arrived in Yanzhou City the day before.
Even if there is a problem here, it will not be his turn.
The reason why Cao Cao asked the two of them to come over was precisely to be able to stabilize Yanzhou City.
Last time, the Eastern Expedition to Xuzhou was exploited by Lu Bu and he was almost homeless.
Cao Cao didn't want to make such a mistake again this time.
Of course, when it's time to actually see the ceremony, you still need to call all the people over.
Chen Qun was in the top position, the first one below was Guo Ming, and the rest were the officials of the large and small counties in Yanzhou.
They originally came to meet Chen Qun, but now they happened to visit Guo Duyou together.
"Guo Duyou was entrusted by the Ming Duke to supervise the rule of Yanzhou officials."
"Now under the order of the Ming Princess, the places he inspects, you must fully cooperate and work diligently, understand?"
Everyone replied together: "No, respect the chief Shi Ling, respect the post order." ”
Guo Ming was originally kneeling on the mat, but at this time, he just straightened up and sat down and bowed to these people.
It's a salute between the two sides.
Chen Qun should talk about his own business next.
After the meeting ended, Chen Qun was really like a "big brother" and told Guo Ming to pay attention.
"You, don't be busy with inspections first, according to the management of the ministries and the postal inspectors, you know that you, the governor's mail, are coming, and you should come to pay a visit."
"Once you've seen everyone, you'll be able to see who's what's wrong."
"Of course, the key to being an official is to see through it and not say it, and if you don't understand anything, just come back and ask me."
"Yes." Guo Ming sighed in his heart, he was really similar to his brother.
"Also, try not to show up yourself. So as not to cause misunderstanding. ”
"Thank you, brother, for the point." Guo Ming returned the favor.
"Okay, let's go to your own mansion first."
The so-called misunderstanding actually refers to soliciting bribes in the name of doing business.
Don't talk about well-known things, just talk about what Guo Jia said himself.
The loss of the Han Dynasty was lenient, and Yuan Shao was lenient and lenient, and his strength was not enough.
Cao Cao's fierce treatment is the right medicine, so he can end the troubled times.
What the so-called wide means, everyone who understands it understands.
Sure enough, before Guo Ming came to his mansion, he had already seen a lot of things placed in the courtyard.
He hadn't even stepped in before his teeth of hatred were rattling.
Yes, if Cao Cao knew about this, wouldn't he have even taken office, so he directly accepted a large amount of bribes!
"Bai Qi, Xiang Yu, what's going on?" Guo Ming asked, looking at the gifts in the courtyard.
The gift was neatly piled up, and he didn't even dare to look at what was inside.
"We can't stop it." Bai Qi said helplessly.
