Chapter 33 Taishan County Magistrate
"Is what Master Wang said true? Has the Yuan family's military camp really been eliminated?" Liu Hong asked excitedly.

The Yuan family military camp was a thorn in his heart.

It was precisely because of the existence of the Yuan family military camp that he was unable to completely control Luoyang City and had to make concessions step by step to the aristocratic families in the court.

In order to deal with Yuan's military camp, he spared no expense to form the Northern Army.

Unfortunately, even with the Northern Army in hand, it would be difficult to destroy the Yuan family camp.

Because the Yuan family military camp had been operating in Tianmen Mountain for many years and was deeply rooted, even the Northern Army would find it difficult to rush in and flatten the Yuan family military camp.

At most, we can only stay in Luoyang City to protect his safety.

Now, when he suddenly heard the good news of the destruction of Yuan’s military camp, one can imagine how excited he was.

Wang Yue bowed respectfully and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the Yuan family's military camp is indeed gone, and it was Ji Qiu, the new green-robed embroiderer of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, who destroyed it!"

Ji Qiu is not a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard at the moment, but this does not prevent Wang Yue from referring to him as a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard in front of Liu Hong.

Anyway, whether he is a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard or not is just a matter of Wang Yue’s words, right?
Destroying the Yuan family's military camp was a great achievement, but Ji Qiu alone could not accomplish such a great feat, so it was just right to give some of the profits to the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"Ji Qiu? What is his background? How did he become a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard? Why have I never heard of his reputation?" Liu Hong asked.

Wang Yue replied, “This man is the third son of the Ji family in Rizhao County, Jiaozhou. He came of age and separated from the family, so he left home to start his own business.

He opened a rare treasure shop in Luoyang City, and in just two months, he made a fortune.

Seeing that this man was talented, I went to recruit him and made him a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Afterwards, he assisted me in fighting against the Sili Xiaowei Mansion.

First they destroyed the Dragon Weapon Pavilion, then they killed Lü Kuang, and now they have completely destroyed the Yuan family's military camp!"

"How can a mere son of a powerful family in Rizhao County, Bingzhou, have such ability?" Liu Hong said in astonishment.

It's not that he is ignorant, it's just that this matter is too unexpected.

A noble son of a frontier county with no reputation could actually accomplish so many great things in just a few months.

Is it that the powerful people in the border counties are too strong, or that the aristocratic families in the interior are too weak?
Wang Yue laughed dryly several times and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, this matter is not because the powerful people in the border counties are too strong, nor because the inland families are too weak, but because Your Majesty's virtue is as high as the sky, and Ji Qiu's ability is extraordinary!
There are many heroes among the grassroots, and it is only because of Ji Qiu's extraordinary abilities that he can achieve so many achievements.

And because Your Majesty's virtue is higher than the sky, talents like Ji Qiu have come out to assist Your Majesty."

To be honest, Wang Yue was initially unbelievable that Ji Qiu was able to eliminate the Yuan family’s military camp.

After multiple verifications, the news was confirmed.

Then he refreshed his understanding of Ji Qiu's strength again.

Ji Qiu was able to destroy the Yuan family’s military camp, and to do so in such an incredible way. The strength behind it really shocked him.

That's why we have this duet today.

Otherwise, do you think Wang Yue would simply state Ji Qiu's contribution in front of Liu Hong?
joke!

When will subordinates be able to achieve merit?

How can subordinates achieve results without leadership?

All the credit must belong to the leader, and the subordinates can only make a small and insignificant contribution under the leader's command.

Even this small contribution will only be reported to you if the leader has good character.

In most cases, the names of those who truly made contributions will not be included in the merit book!
That is Ji Qiu, whose origins are mysterious and whose power is so strong that Wang Yue dare not act rashly. He reported Ji Qiu's situation basically truthfully.

"So that's how it is. Since he is a hero from the grassroots, he should not be treated unfairly. He should be rewarded for his merits. How do you plan to reward him, my dear?" Liu Hong glanced at Wang Yue, seemed to see what he was thinking, and said lightly.

Wang Yue quickly said, "Your Majesty, I originally intended to keep this man in Luoyang City, but he wanted to be sent out to serve Your Majesty as a shepherd.

I have considered that he has just done such a big thing. If he stays in the court, he will inevitably arouse the hostility of all the ministers, which will be detrimental to Your Majesty's control of the government.

It would also be a good idea to let him leave Beijing and avoid the limelight for a while.

After a year or two, when the incident has come to an end, he will be transferred back from outside the province so that he can continue to serve Your Majesty.

So I agreed to it.

They plan to make him a county magistrate, and allow him to go to Qianjin Hall to select a book of secret techniques as a reward."

Counties in the Han Dynasty were divided into two levels: large and small counties. Counties with more than 10,000 households were large counties, and counties with less than 10,000 households were small counties.

Wang Yue's initial promise was to let Ji Qiu be the magistrate of a small county. Later, in Wangyue Tower, Ji Qiu asked Ren Hongchang to deliver the message that he was willing to remove the sword from the head for the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

In fact, he was implicitly telling Wang Yue that he was willing to eliminate the Yuan family’s military camp for him, and see what price Wang Yue was willing to give.

Wang Yue understood Ji Qiu's hint, so he raised the price to the county magistrate of Da County and went to Qianjin Hall to select the secret technique.

Now Wang Yue's reply to Liu Hong is considered to be fulfilling his promise to Ji Qiu.

However, Liu Hong thought about it and said, "Ji Qiu has made such great contributions, but it would be a waste of his talent to just make him a county magistrate. If this gets out, people will think that I am mistreating my meritorious officials!"

"Then what Your Majesty means is..." Wang Yue asked in surprise.

Liu Hong said calmly, "Let him be the Taishan Commandery Lieutenant! Tell him that if he can wipe out the local Yellow Turban bandits, I will appoint him as the Taishan Governor!"

"Taishan County Magistrate? Taishan Prefect?" Wang Yue's eyes narrowed, and then, looking at Liu Hong's calm eyes, he quickly lowered his head and said, "I obey your command!"

……

Pavilion of rare treasures.

The backyard was bustling with people everywhere.

Ji Qiu's ranger army expanded again.

It went from one thousand people to two thousand people.

When Ji Qiu recruits a ranger, he not only recruits the ranger himself, but also the ranger's family.

This is to maximize control over the soldiers' bodies.

So with two thousand rangers and five thousand family members, there are now a total of seven thousand people living in this yard!
Fortunately, I bought a big yard, otherwise how could it accommodate so many people?
Among these two thousand rangers, Ji Qiu selected five hundred elite soldiers to form a personal guard camp, with Gao Shun as the commander of the personal guard camp.

Gao Shun awakened his innate secret technique yesterday. As Ji Qiu expected, the secret technique was the Formation of the Trap.

There are two reasons why he was able to awaken the innate secret technique so quickly.

First, he had already reached the critical point of awakening, and he would awaken even without external force.

Secondly, Ji Qiu gave him some external support, just like he treated Wei Yan. Since Ji Qiu accepted Gao Shun as his personal guard, he began to teach him modern military training methods.

This prompted Gao Shun to speed up the awakening of his innate secret technique.
