Chapter 40 Three New Officials take office
All the way was smooth, close to the county. Yu Da drove more than a dozen horses back to the barracks on the outskirts of the city. The other Yanyun riders hid and dispersed, while Tai Shici, whose physical injury improved most of the time, took Lin Xinger into the city.
Tai Shici wandered around the city with Lin Xinger and didn't go home quietly until breakfast. Tai Shici introduced Lin Xinger to his mother Liu. Liu was very sad when he heard about Lin Xinger's miserable background. Despite the filth of Lin Xinger's clothes, she hugged Lin Xinger in her arms.
Seeing this, Tai Shici retreated by himself. Half an hour later, Tai Shici saw Lin Xinger again, and her eyes almost fell down: Lin Xinger, who had regained her daughter's state, was dressed in white, with a milky white jade face, and her dark eyes were as straight as twinkling stars. Although she was only fifteen years old, her figure was mature, and her exquisite and she raised her hands and feet were looking forward to shine.
In the face of Tai Shici's gaffe, Liu's eyebrows opened and smiled, while Lin Xinger slowly squatted down and saluted Tai Shici. At the same time, her voice was as soft as Konggu Youlan and said, "Xing'er, see Brother Taishi!"
When Tai Shici heard Lin Xinger's voice, he woke up like a dream. He hesitated and didn't know how to answer. It's still Liu's general knowledge. She invited Tai Shici and Lin Xinger to sit down.
After a meal, Tai Shici still did not accept Lin Xinger, who recovered his daughter from the bottom of his heart. And Lin Xinger's feelings for Tai Shici are getting deeper and deeper. It was not until the golden owner (Golden Monkey) appeared and Liu left on his own that Taishici and Lin Xinger got along naturally.
Liu is very happy: Tai Shici's behavior shows that his son has finally begun to grow up...
The golden owner likes beautiful women. For a while, he is much more familiar with Lin Xinger. After Tai Shici once again told the gold owner to take good care of his family, he left the house under the affectionate gaze of Lin Xinger.
According to the prior agreement, Tai Shici came to the door of Huangfu, the richest man in the county. At this time, the government officials and officers of the county government were cleaning up the Huangfu.
The night before yesterday, Huangfu was robbed by inexplicable guests, the whole door was silenced, and even more than a dozen watchdogs were killed. The experience of Huangfu made people uneasy, but also made them happy as if it were the Spring Festival. The other millionaires are frightened birds. They are afraid that a disaster will happen to them one night...
According to the usual practice, the ownerless Huangfu was confiscated and blatantly requisitioned by Yu Da as the warehouse of the military camp. Of course, all the industries in the Huangfu are handed over to the talents who are good at business, and the government and the military camp only collect management fees from it.
Of course, when Zhao Pu, the county magistrate, saw the million taels of silver and 100,000 taels of gold in stock in Huangfu, he almost fainted. Several people discussed on the occasion: conceal the stolen money and send it to the state government in batches. For the soldiers who usually perform well, there is also a lot of capital to reward.
After Zhao Pu, the county magistrate, left, Yu Da led Tai Shici to a secret room, which was the place where the secret master of Huangfu was hidden. Yu Da said to Tai Shici, "This master of Qianxiu practice hard with the maids every day... On that day, when Yu Eleven and I rushed into the secret room, this person was coming with six maids... The master of Qianxiu was killed, and the maids were sent to the place where they should go!"
Taishi Ci nod in agreement with Yu Da's approach.
For Tai Shici, who chose to follow the smell of milk, the more he got along with Tai Shi Ci, he felt that his choice was wise: Tai Shi Ci was familiar with poetry, calligraphy and military tactics since he was a child, which made Tai Shi Ci's temperament elegant and refined, and his life was hard to forge Tai Shi Ci's resolute quality; Tai Shi Ci's martial arts skills were excellent, but he was good at hiding.
In the siege of Taishi Ci against the thieves, the speed of the move was captured by Yu Da, who watched secretly: That's the speed of the innate master. If it weren't for Tai Shi Ci's low-key and worried about his mother's safety, he would have brought the golden monkey with him. The world is so big that he can't go there?
The sudden rise of Taishici's alien army not only shocked the upper level of the county, but also stabilized the order of the county. Standing on the foothold in the county, Taishi Ci integrated resources and developed outward: with Donglai County as the center, he developed the horse gang, a new thing, which is a force team responsible for protecting merchants' goods.
At the beginning, even if there were as many caravans going to Youzhou as crucian carp crossing the river, Ma Bang's business was not good. However, Taishici also sent people to act as a horse thief, who specially robbed the merchant's property. After this operation, the business of the horse gang finally boomed.
Sometimes, Tai Shici also wears Xingyue armor and rides Wanlisha, appearing in the official road as a ringing horse thief. So in the business world, in the ears of the officers and soldiers, Tai Shici's nickname "Horse Thief" also became famous.
Three months later, Bohai County ushered in a new Taishou, that is, Kong Rong, the descendant of Confucius Sage. At the age of three, he made Kong Rong famous all over the world. Kong Rong's character is the 20th grandson of sage Kong. Kong Rong is talented and intelligent, free and easy, and often has amazing words. He is the first of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an". Kong Rong's article is mainly about discussion. The content is mostly to promote education, promote benevolence and politics, recommend talents, comment on characters, and express their own opinions directly on current affairs, which is quite sharp and has a distinct personality. In art, the sentence is neat, the words are elegant and rich, the ancient and the present are introduced, the metaphor is exquisite, and the momentum is full... According to the evaluation of later generations: Kong Rong has reached the realm of "luck words" in art, taking qi as handsome, turning decay into magic, and ordinary things are naturally interesting...
To this day, Kong Rong, who is in his thirties, has been an official. According to his nature, he really doesn't want to be an official in troubled times. He would rather recommend others... However, all this is due to friendship: his classmate and friend, Liu Yu, a relative of the Han Dynasty, was kidnapped by his identity, entered Qingzhou, and was appointed as Qingzhou Pastoral by the royal family.
Liu Yao, courtesy name Zhengli, after the King of Jiaodong in the early Han Dynasty, had a noble status, noble conduct, integrity and justice, and was quite prestigious in the Qingzhou territory. After he became the herdsman of Qingzhou, the first thing was to kidnap Kong Rong in the name of friendship and make him the governor of Bohai County. Beihai County, where Bohai County is located, is under its jurisdiction. The area under its jurisdiction is the most rampant place for the Yellow Turban Army.
Since Yuan Shao, the governor of Bohai County, left, no official has been in office. You either dare not come, or you were intercepted by the Yellow Turban Army on the way.
After all, he was born of a famous family and was quite prestigious, so the Yellow Turban Army temporarily let Kong Rong enter Beihai County. After Kong Rong entered Beihai County, what he did was very different from his good friend and boss Liu Yu: Liu Yu spent a lot of energy to integrate the relationship with the local rich clan, and Kong Rong did not care about his background. In front of Kong Rong, as long as you don't obey the orders of the government, even if you are a rich clan, he dares to deal with it according to the rules without mercy.
Kong Rong and Liu Yao, their personal qualities are like plums, and their personality is full of talent, but what about their political ability and military talent? Everything can only be tested and confirmed in practice.
Under Kong Rong's policy, Taishici, who is in the limelight of Donglai County, has received tangible benefits: from clothing, food, housing and transportation to firewood, rice, oil and salt, he has received funding and rewards from the county government. It is said that Kong Rong will also visit Tai Shici's mother and son in person.
In this way, can the rich clans in Donglai County have a good impression on Kong Rong? I guess I'm also eager for Kong Rong to fall soon. It's better to be killed by the Yellow Turban Army**...
