When he returned to his house, Yang Chengzhi was already waiting. Thick documents and books were divided into several piles according to different types of affairs and were placed on the table.
According to the imperial system, the Jiedushi was assisted by two judges. There is a Jiedu judge, who is in the seventh rank. He is in charge of the affairs of the town, and the military and horse affairs, and also judges military, criminal, and industrial cases. There is an observation judge, who is in the seventh rank. The master of discipline observes all affairs, judges officials, households, and ritual matters, and conducts comprehensive inspections and recommends the arrangement of books.
Guo Ning had previously appointed Yilan Chucai as the Jiedu judge, and Du Shi was promoted to the observation judge. But Du Shisheng's official status was actually to facilitate his activities in Zhongdu and to control related affairs in Zhigu Village. Therefore, in fact, all military and political affairs are in the hands of Chu Cai.
At this time, every document placed in front of Guo Ning has been signed and approved by Yilan Chucai. It is rare for him to be so busy, and his handwriting is still strict... Guo Ning guessed that Yilan Chucai was worried that if he wrote If it is scrawled, the Jiedushi Master will not be able to recognize it.
Guo Ning flipped through the documents, glanced at them briefly, and then read them carefully, occasionally asking a few questions. After Yang Chengzhi confirmed it, he took out the square Yangwen Jiedushi bronze seal from his waist, dipped it in ink and struck it hard.
According to what Yizai Chucai said, in recent years, the imperial court has appointed ten sheep and nine shepherds, and its affairs have become increasingly worse. Even the official seals are not as good as they used to be. The official seal of Guo Ning, a dignified Jiedu envoy, actually has several sand holes on the back of the seal next to the inscription "Nei Shaofu". It has finally been polished smooth, which makes sense at first glance.
I knocked a dozen copies. Guo Ning paused, took out a few documents and asked again. Yang Chengzhi answered fluently at first, but occasionally hesitated a little, and said with sweat on his forehead: "I have to ask brother Jin Qing."
Guo Ning didn't mind either: "Jin Qing is busy, so don't bother."
He put the documents next to him and asked Ni Cong to go directly to the corresponding person in charge and read the others first.
When the person in charge arrived, Guo Ning made a brief inquiry and compared it with what was stated in the document before making a decision.
In less than half an hour, dozens of documents were all processed, and most of them were processed according to the intention of moving Chu Cai, but Guo Ning did not let go completely.
Although he was not familiar with those literary allusions or administrative vocabulary, he often asked Yang Chengzhi for advice. But he is an experienced veteran. Even at his current position, he has been in and out of the army, maintaining close ties with the soldiers and never being isolated. Therefore, he is very knowledgeable about all the details of the military affairs and even all the matters derived from military affairs.
Some of them were so biased that even Chucai and Yang Chengzhi didn't notice them. He wrote about them on the spot and wrote down his own opinions. The opinions he put forward were practical and feasible, whether to prevent the slightest change or to take advantage of the situation.
On that day, Yang Chengzhi followed the move of Chu Cai and joined Guo Ning's command. Because he is a relative of the mother's family who moved Chucai, his ancestors produced the famous Hanlin Yang Boren, and he also passed the imperial examination for Ci Fu Jinshi, so he is vaguely arrogant towards ordinary warriors, and even towards Guo Ning, he is occasionally a bit aggressive. Stinging.
As a result, after several exchanges of documents, Yang Chengzhi realized that although Guo Ning did not learn, he seemed to have some talents given by heaven, and he became particularly respectful.
Guo Ning was also very kind to this right-hand man who tried to assassinate Chu Cai. Seeing Yang Chengzhi holding the book and going out, Guo Ning thought for a moment and waved: "It's lunch time. Chengzhi might as well come with me and use it briefly."
In a moment, Meng Cong delivered lunch.
Normally, Guo Ning would be in the military camp, having lunch with the soldiers. It was rare for him to eat at home, and there was nothing particularly good or exquisite. It was just scones, pickles and the like, and a large plate of roast mutton, which was quite generous, but It was not roasted well and the cook was very careless. There were burnt places and bloody places.
Yang Chengzhi would not treat himself so slowly on weekdays, but he was a smart man. He ate three scones with gusto, and together with Guo Ning, they also shared all the mutton. Finally, he patted his belly with satisfaction: "Thank you, Jieshuai!"
Guo Ning raised his tea cup and signaled to him: "It was not easy for Chengzhi to be detained in Yidu before. Drinking is not suitable in the army. I will drink tea instead of wine and give you a toast."
Yang Chengzhi stood up in panic and clinked glasses with Guo Ning: "Jie Shuai, these documents can't be delayed. I'm leaving now."
"Thank you for your hard work, Chengzhi. Please do it."
After seeing Yang Chengzhi off, Guo Ning was a little tired, but continued to look at various documents.
What is still left with him are some documents that are important but not urgent.
For example, Dengzhou promised to dispatch civil servants to serve in Laizhou, but it listed many difficulties in the place piecemeal. It seems that the war of words will have to go back and forth three or five times.
Another example is the people of Jing'an in Ye County. On the one hand, they built additional facilities in the city to prepare for the relocation of the Jiedu envoys. In addition, they also set up six forts in the surrounding area based on the scale of 3,000 military households and more than 10,000 shady households. , land that can be reclaimed has been set aside, and taking advantage of the drought in winter, the water diversion project from Hantong Mountain to Ye County has also started. They were stationed in Ye County and took money and food from the local tyrants. For this reason, Jing'an Min wrote a long article, which was actually asking for money.
There are also documents in which Liu Cheng reported the damaged military and civilian books, documents in which Hao Duan at Sanshan Port accepted a group of smugglers from the Southern Dynasties, documents in which Monk Luo proposed to take a boat to rob the Qingchi Granary in Cangzhou, and Li Ting seconded the proposal and said The idea of robbery came to him first and he asked for documents to pre-allocate food, fodder and military supplies...
When Guo Ning was in Wusha Castle, even if he had a hundred dreams, he would never dream that he would actually be able to sit on a chair and decide the fate of many people with a single stroke of his pen.
This feeling is completely different from the pleasure of holding a knife and bleeding. Guo Ning once thought that he would fall asleep whenever he touched these things. But in fact, when he looked at the documents, although he was inevitably troubled, he also felt a little bit of happiness, which slowly grew from it.
The trouble is that boring things like rulers and slippers are not to his liking after all. He also doesn't have a reliable copywriter around him who can help him write or consult, so he has to do everything by himself. Sometimes he asks Lu Han for help, but Lu Han may not be available.
The joy is that these documents represent that his little power is taking root and growing.
Guo Ning had a strong sense of crisis in Wushabao, Xijunhe, and even Zhigu Village. He instinctively knew that those places were too close to the Mongols and too dangerous.
But here in Laizhou, it's very good. The Mongolian army's cavalry reached this far, which was about the limit. Here, Guo Ning's methods can be spread and his power can be exerted. And many of the weird ideas and plans in his mind can slowly be put into practice, and then transformed into force, transformed into something that can truly overwhelm the Mongols and choke the terrifying craze.
As he watched, he began to concentrate, and time flew by.
Ni Yi coughed twice outside the door and knocked on the door again: "Jie Shuai, Jieshuai!"
"Um?"
"The soldiers and horses of the third and fourth command divisions have already gathered outside the fort."
Guo Ning responded and was gathering several open books when footsteps hurriedly sounded outside, and Chu Cai and Xu Jin came in front and back. Yi La Chucai's expression was a little strange, while Xu Jin was sweating profusely and breathing heavily.
Guo Ning immediately cheered up: "What happened?"
