The news of Cheng Yu taking over as Governor of Hedong was too shocking, Xun Yu was a little uneasy at the reception banquet.

After the banquet, Mrs. Tang asked with concern.

After Xun Yu explained the situation, Mrs. Tang was also a little surprised.

She still knows a thing or two about who Cheng Yu is, and she has heard it from many people before.

Sending such a ruthless person to Hedong, it seems that the emperor is really going to attack Hedong.Before this, it was not uncommon to keep Xun Yu secret so closely.

Could it be that Xun Yu was worried about the safety of the Hedong family and refused to leave?

I was still afraid that Xun Yu would lose face, so I deliberately kept him from knowing who the successor was.

Generally speaking, there will be news of the successor on the notice of appointment and dismissal.

Thinking about it this way, what Yuan Shu said made sense, the emperor really took care of Xun Yu's face.

"Wen Ruo, don't think too much about it. You can only half believe what Yuan Shu said. The emperor may have other arrangements, and it may not be related to you."

Xun Yu nodded, but said nothing.

-

Just when Xun Yu was worrying about gains and losses, Cheng Yu walked into Anyi City, took over as Hedong Yin, and announced something.

Review the county soldiers.

He wants to review the training situation of the soldiers in Hedong County to see if they have been lazy in the past few years.

The schedule is very tight, announced on the first day and reviewed on the second day.

The big clans of Anyi who came to greet him all felt that it was absurd.

How can it be so easy to review, even if it is a soldier from a county, it takes time to call, and there is no three to five days, and it is impossible to make preparations.

But they soon knew why Cheng Yu was so sure.

The county soldiers participating in the review were just outside the city, and they came with Cheng Yu.Before Cheng Yu took office, he had already gone to the camps of the battalions to meet with the generals of the county soldiers.

In addition to the seal and ribbon of Hedong Yin, he also has the emperor's warrant, which can directly mobilize the Hedong garrison.

The main force of the Hedong garrison is the Baibo Army.After being recruited by the emperor, he arranged to farm near Anyi.In the past few years, life has been good, his gratitude to the emperor has turned into loyalty, and he is full of resentment towards the Hedong family who refuses to spend the land.

The Dongdong clan who came to greet them were caught off guard, and were invited by Cheng Yu to the review site, where they stood on the general platform and watched the county soldiers' drill together.

The county soldiers were full of murderous aura, and their roars shook the sky, making people's scalp numb and their legs weak.

After the rehearsal was over, Cheng Yu asked the representatives of the great clan one by one what they thought of Du Tian. He picked up the saber ring with his thumb intentionally or unintentionally, and a sharp blade flickered in and out of his palm, which made people frightened.

After weighing the possibility of Cheng Yu's murder, these wealthy Hedong clans made a wise choice, strongly agreeing to save the land, and were willing to hand over all the excess land and make up for the tax arrears in the past ten years.

Cheng Yu was very satisfied, and immediately announced that in order to commend these big clans for their deep sense of righteousness and support for the imperial court, he would recommend their children to the imperial court as Lang, and he would join the emperor's imperial army with the selected elite soldiers.

The Hedong family wants to cry but has no tears.

This is no shortcut to becoming an official, this is simply a hostage.

But in the face of Cheng Yu, no one dared to jump out to object, so they could only forcefully smile and express their strong gratitude to Cheng Fu Yin.

In just a few days, nearly a hundred Hedong children set off, and rushed to the line together with the soldiers who performed well in the review.

Behind them, Dutian was also in full swing, and Cheng Yu suddenly had thousands of hectares of land in his hands, which he used to settle Xianbei and Hun prisoners who had surrendered for five years and could be naturalized according to regulations.

Preparations for this matter have been started since the beginning of last year. Because there is not enough land, the progress has not been fast. Some people were even sent to Hongnong in the south of the river for resettlement.

Now, Cheng Yu spent half a month to solve it.

But this is not the end.

After solving the problem of Dutian, Cheng Yu did not dismiss the county soldiers participating in the review, but led them to a county-wide inspection.Every time he went to a county, he would invite the big households in the county to visit, review the county soldiers and conduct offensive and defensive exercises.

He almost had the word threat written on his face.

But Cheng Yu didn't just threaten with force, he also used gentle means.When he walked around the county and was about to return, several Hedong people represented by Jia Kui, the mayor of Jiangyi, received a transfer order.

Jia Kui was transferred to Anyi Order, and his brother-in-law Liu Fu was a county meritorious officer.

When the news came out, the tense heartstrings of the Hedong clan finally relaxed a little.

At least there is no danger of being made into jerky by Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu's timing was just right.When he returned to Anyi, it was the beginning of spring plowing, and the people who had just acquired the land were full of energy and devoted themselves to spring plowing with a hundredfold enthusiasm.

When the news reached Henan, Xun Yu, who had been paying attention to the situation in Hedong, sighed quietly.

Both relief and regret.

He meditated for half the night, and then gave a memorial to the emperor.

After deeply reviewing his own appeasement, he also euphemistically stated that if all the counties follow Cheng Yu's example, it will be impossible to talk about voluntary land saving, and the previous promise will be wiped out.More people will use force to forcibly save the land, and conflicts will be inevitable.

Chapter 1017

After receiving Xun Yu's letter, Liu Xie felt a little uncomfortable.

It's not that I didn't give you a chance, it's that you didn't take it seriously and were reluctant to make changes.You have been in Hedong for six years, have you ever thought of taking the initiative to save the fields?

Even after you set an example in Jizhou and proved the significance of Dutian, you still haven't moved at all.

When fighting for the benefits of sericulture for the Hedong clan, you were very active.

For the fig leaf of the party members, you can leave your official duties and come here specially.

You didn't keep your promises, and now you're asking me instead.

When am I good at talking?

Good people should be pointed at guns?What the hell is this.

Liu Xie originally wanted to write a reply letter to seriously discuss this issue with Xun Yu.He had already picked up the pen, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

Order people to file Xun Yu's letter without any reply.

He is not in the mood to argue with Xun Yu now.

Sun Rui and Zhang Ji's attack on Yizhou is about to begin. He is closely following the progress of the two battlefields and has no time at all.

Winning or losing is not what he cares most about, but the performance of the soldiers.

With the current level of productivity, in order to realize the conquest of thousands of miles away, it is necessary to establish a real elite, so that it is possible to use one as ten and win more with less.

It is simply unrealistic to rely on a large number of people to pile up opponents with numbers.

Horrific logistical pressures would have shattered all that.

This is also the reason why he did not come to the battlefield in person.

In the future, when he comes to the Western Regions, he will fight against opponents who are several times or even dozens of times larger than him on a battlefield thousands of miles across. interests.

Yizhou is a whetstone.

Zhang Ji and Shi Sun Rui can't count on it, but Pang Tong, Zhou Yu, Xu Huang, Guan Yu and others are hopeful.

With the start of spring plowing, the situation of the country's fields in each county was reported to Situ Mansion one after another.

Except for Jiaozhou and Yizhou, more than [-]% of the prefectures and states have started Dutian.[-]% of the spring plowing was completed before, and some counties and states were not able to complete it in time because of insufficient preparation and insufficient time.

Inevitably, some smart people appeared in the process, who wanted to use false population reports, or privately adjust the land level, shoddy, and deliberately bully ordinary people.

As a result, Sikong Mansion was so busy that it hit the back of its head and was almost flooded by the snowflake-like documents.

Zhou Zhong became extremely dedicated. While arranging people to survey the rivers and waterways of Jizhou and prepare for the excavation of the canal, he also arranged people to go to various counties and counties to supervise the farming to prevent vicious incidents.

Of course, he did not miss this opportunity, and wrote to apply for the adjustment of the governors of each state and the strengthening of state-level supervision functions.

Liu Xie did not object to this decision, and together with the Situ Mansion, reviewed the candidates for the governors of each state.

He had disagreements with Yang Biao and Zhou Zhong in terms of requirements for the governor.

He believes that the first requirement for a candidate for the governor is not sophistication, but drive.You must have a sense of justice, and you can't be too considerate of face, or even be sympathetic.

Hello, hello, everyone, are you still monitoring a ghost?

Therefore, it is preferred to select fledgling young people with passion as governors, and let them go to various states to monitor, collect information, deal with minor matters on the spot, and report major matters to the Sikong Mansion for handling.

If there is any improper handling, the Sikong Mansion will handle it according to the report of the supervisory officials in the counties and counties.

There is another advantage to using young people.

The scope of the state is usually large, and the travel is exhausting, and the travel is hard, and the elderly cannot bear it.

At Liu Xie's insistence, Yang Biao and Zhou Zhong finally compromised and chose a group of young people.

One of them, Man Chong, was appointed governor of Jizhou.

Man Chong, whose name is Boning, was born in Changyi, Shanyang.When Cao Cao was the Inspector of Yanzhou, he appointed Man Chong as his servant.Later, when Cao Cao entered the court, he became the Protector of Yanran, but Man Chong remained in Yanzhou and worked under Cheng Yu.

This time Cheng Yu became the prefect of Hedong and recommended Man Chong to the imperial court.

He originally wanted to recommend Man Chong as the order of Anyi, but was rejected by the Situ Mansion.

Situ Yang Biao had a bad impression of Man Chong, saying that he was not accomplished enough in Confucianism, the law enforcement was strict, and he was closer to Legalism, so he was not suitable for the capital.

Although Liu Xie didn't stay in Anyi for a few days, Anyi was still a temporary capital in name.It is unsightly for a cruel official who believes in Legalism to be the county magistrate.

Zhou Zhong also expressed a similar view.

Liu Xie accepted Yang Biao's suggestion, kept Man Chong, and then awarded him the post of governor of Jizhou.

This time, Zhou Zhong did not object, and Yang Biao had no reason to object, so he could only agree.

Zhen Mi's elder brother Zhen Yao was also among them and was appointed governor of Qingzhou.

Zhen Yao was somewhat confused when he received the letter of appointment.

He was indeed full of hope for becoming an official before, and felt that if Zhen Mi entered the palace, he would be able to become an official soon.The ups and downs in Zhongshan Zhen's official career can finally come to an end.

But after Zhen Mi told him the three chapters of the emperor's covenant, he was immediately discouraged.

Especially when he saw Zhen Mi's expression when he mentioned the emperor, he knew that this noble sister had been completely conquered by the emperor, and it was impossible for him to speak for him, and he could not count on it at all.

Instead, he considered whether to resign as a Lang Guan, go to the prefect's mansion to find a job, and find his own way out.

He couldn't pass the exam as a casual rider. I don't know when the official Lang will be assigned a real job, so he might as well find a way by himself.Even if the emperor doesn't take care of him, the prefect and county magistrate will always take a look at Zhen Jiagao.

At this moment, he received a letter of appointment from the governor of Qingzhou.

Zhen Yao was overjoyed, and immediately rushed to Lantai Lingfang to announce the good news to Zhen Mi.

Zhen Mi was also very surprised, and then said that this matter had nothing to do with her, it was the result of discussions between the emperor and ministers.You get hired because they believe you can do the job.

If that's the case, then you're good to go.

Zhen Yao felt a little guilty.I have no experience in governance, how can I do it well?

Zhen Mi gave him a blank look.You have no experience in governance, and experience in dealing with prefects and county magistrates?You don't know how the officials and gentry colluded to oppress the common people?

Stare at those few items to check, one check is accurate.

The most important thing for the emperor right now is to save the fields, so you should focus on checking the problems that may arise in the fields, and put other things aside for the time being, and talk about them later.

Zhen Yao understood.

As Zhen Mi said, although Zhen Yao has never been an official, he has a lot of experience in dealing with counties and counties. Even if he has never done it, he knows how to collude with officials, conceal and omit reports, and profit from it.

After arriving in Qingzhou, he followed this line of thinking and went the other way. First, he launched an investigation into Pingyuan County, and soon found out a lot of problems.

Part of it is related to the people who moved from the Bohai Sea to the plains.

The rich local clans in the plains bullied these outsiders who were not familiar with the situation, filled some tidal flats as fertile land, distributed them to the Bohai people, and asked them to bear a large amount of land rent, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the immigrants.

There was a conflict between the two sides. The Bohai immigrants saw that the new governor was from Jizhou and was a relative of the emperor. They immediately felt that they had a backbone and filed complaints in front of Zhen Yao.

When the Pingyuan clan saw this situation, they immediately bit back, saying that Zhen Yao favored the Jizhou people and surrounded the post house where Zhen Yaomin lived.

This gave Yang Feng, the left general who had been standing still, an excuse.

When Yang Feng received the news, he immediately dispatched troops to arrest all the tribes who surrounded the posthouse.Both parties were very emotional, and they moved their hands at a disagreement, and saw blood.

Here's where it got into trouble.

Among the dead, one was the former army of General Liu Bei who conquered the East.
