The common people heard from the protective soldiers along the way that there were fields and food in Laizhou. Now they finally arrived at the city gate after hardships, but were stopped again, and they were inevitably a little anxious.
Thousands of people were buzzing and restless for a while. When the soldiers caught up from behind, they timidly stopped talking. And another green-robed official rushed out from the city gate, bringing with him a batch of officials; he also set up tables and chairs to speed up the checking and counting.
Wugu Lun Rongzu noticed that almost every official was very skilled in handling documents. Judging from their appearance and demeanor, they should all come from wealthy families, otherwise they would never have such talents. The people who had checked their identities immediately lined up under the command of other officials, and went to the preset camps outside the city one by one.
This busy but not chaotic situation made Wugu Lunrongzu nodded slightly. He saw everyone walking in a hurry, but with calm expressions. Although they were busy, they all knew their tasks, the things at hand, and the connection of all links was in order.
Wugu Lun Rongzu entered the officialdom from Jinshi during the Mingchang period. He served as a minister and supplemented the history of the province. He was transferred to the governor of Gou in addition to the capital, and transferred to the school manager of Hongwen. He was promoted to the judge of the general management office of Zhongdu. Sima of Zhangde Prefecture, Wailang, a member of the Household Department, was a veteran in officialdom for a long time.
In more than twenty years of being in the officialdom, he has seen many subordinate officials who are depressed, negligent and perfunctory. Occasionally, there are a few talented people, most of whom are local wealthy people. Their status as officials is used to dominate the local area and dominate the government. Who can really flatter the government? With a family like that, it would be impossible to do such trivial tasks diligently!
What ability does Guo Ning have to find such a group of officials?
No, no, there's more than meets the eye.
The common people came from Haicang Town, and the officials had complete books in hand to check, indicating that someone had already made preliminary statistics in Haicang Town, or on the march of this army and civilians.
How long has Guo Ning been in Laizhou? Is this full-fledged?
I heard that the judge of the Ding Navy, Yi Li Chu Cai, was the son of You Cheng, Yi Ji Lu, the minister of the previous dynasty. Could it be that this is the family education of Yi Lalu?
Or... I heard that Guo Ning was the number one thug of Tu Shan Yi, the most powerful official in the dynasty, the marshal of Zuo Prime Minister, and the king of Guangyang County in Pingzhang. When such a person transfers to another place, it is obvious that he wants to make great achievements, and Tu Shanyi's support for him is very effective?
There was another companion beside him. He had followed Wugu Lunrongzu for many years and understood his thoughts quite well. He coughed lightly at that moment.
"how to say?"
"Among the officials, some are junior officials from Laizhou, others are the children of local heroes, and some... Sir, please see, those few people hold their pens stiffly and write more slowly. They should be from common people. A literate person drawn from here. Also, sir, have you seen that official in blue robe?"
"This man is very capable in delegating affairs. He must be no ordinary person."
"I have a sharp gaze. I have never seen this person, but I must have heard his name."
"Who is he?"
Bandang lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Laizhou Zhang Ruji."
Wugu Lun Rongzu was startled: "Is he the one who killed Xu Ruxian?"
Yang An'er was powerful in various parts of Shandong and had allies everywhere. Wu Gu said that Rong Zu was an official in Ninghai Prefecture, which was like sitting on a charcoal brazier. Therefore, he sent more people to do their best to investigate and respond in time.
Xu Ruxian was a strong man who shook the earth in Laizhou, and Zhang Ruji, as Xu Ruxian's right-hand man, participated in many plans and was quite famous. Wugu Lun Rong Zu had heard of it a long time ago.
Later, Xu Ruxian's forces were swept away by Guo Ning's troops. Zhang Ruji was so ruthless that he immediately offered his old master's head to get rid of his guilt. This incident also caused an uproar in Ninghai Prefecture.
"This man is quite clever. He surrendered early and is now available. I once heard that Guo Ning was determined not to use the local treacherous and tyrannical people, but now he has given Zhang Ruji a position... It seems that he will be in the navy Our power has expanded too fast, and we have to promote a group of people."
"Ahem... I don't know what I know. That Zhang Ruji not only surrendered early, but also made great contributions."
"What credit?"
"After Ding Haijun defeated the Mongols, he announced that he would continue to expand his troops and establish military and shady farms. Zhang Ruji encouraged a group of Laizhou powerful men to take out all the mature and fertile fields under his name. Dedicated to Dingjun Mansion."
"Are you so determined?"
Wugu Lun Rongzu was stunned for a long time.
The companion laughed and said, "All the old members of the clan have been taken out, and only one clerk and a few non-staff minor officials have been replaced. It is really a loss."
"Not necessarily." Wugu Lunrongzu shook his head.
How could such a thing be encouraged? This Ruji's hand must have been stained with blood again.
He first sold his old owner, and then cheated his companions, in exchange for this level of advancement. This person is really a ruthless character!
After a while, he asked: "Is that really Zhang Ruji? Did you read that correctly?"
"You are not wrong. I have dealt with him several times. When he followed Xu Ruxian, he was very powerful. Now that he is just a clerk, there is nothing to fear... Master, do you want me to call him over? Lead the way for us?"
"That's not necessary." Wu Gulun Rongzu thought deeply, his originally dark face becoming darker and darker.
The horse under his crotch only felt that the reins were slack, so he walked a few steps along the road towards the town of Ye County. Wugu Lunrongzu suddenly reined in his horse, forcing the horse to neigh and circle back to its original position.
The companions nearby looked at each other, wondering why their master suddenly acted like this.
During this period of time, there have been various absurd rumors in Shandong.
Wugu Lun Rongzu heard that Geng Ge from Dengzhou traveled between Penglai and Yexian every few days, so he almost dedicated his official seal to Guo Ning. Here in Ninghai Prefecture, the always unruly Shi Poli suddenly seemed to have disappeared. He was hiding in his manor and never went out, but he sent his nephew to Laizhou to serve in the army.
Originally, Wugu Lun Rongzu thought it was false.
As a result, the heroes of Laizhou did a more thorough job than Geng Ge and Shi Poli in front of Wugu Rongzu.
It was clear that Yang An'er had rebelled, and south of Laizhou, the entire Shandong Province was in flames of war, and the two leading generals on Shandong Road, Wan Yan Sala and Huang Lai Wudian, were mediocre people who had no idea of the overall situation. Why don't these people respond to Yang An'er?
Zhang Ruji and others may appear to be local powerful men, but in fact they are long-standing bandits with evil intentions, full of plans for rebellion. Even Geng Ge is an unpredictable person... He can't hide it from others, but he can't hide it from Wugu Lun Rongzu. Now that Yang An'er has launched an army and Shandong is in turmoil, these people are loyal to Guo Ning at all costs. Is it because Guo Ning's bold loyalty to the court moved them?
hehe.
As soon as Guo Ning arrived in Laizhou, Wugu Lunrongzu vaguely felt that the newly appointed navy military governor was not in the right way, so he tried his best to avoid interacting with him. But the current situation has developed to this point, and Wugu Lunrongzu has to come to find out the details.
Along the way, he saw the military and civilian villages on the border of Laizhou, the construction of cities, fortresses, roads, military training grounds, and the people who came here to visit him, and he felt a little happy.
He felt that the new ruler in Zhongdu had finally cheered up a bit after taking office. The Dinghaijun Jiedushi looked strange, maybe he really wanted to do things and was able to do them. He even defeated the Mongols, which shows that he is powerful. With just a little display, he can suppress Yang An'er and restore the situation in Shandong, right?
Now he suddenly understood.
The rumors he heard in the past few days were all true.
It is true that Yang An'er's allies or subordinates, such as Zhang Ruji, Geng Ge, Shi Poli and others, believed in Guo Ning.
It is true that Guo Ning's troops traveled to Shandong to search for men and material resources, and they did not use weapons with Yang An'er and Liu Erzu's troops.
There is also a particularly ridiculous one, saying that Guo Ning personally went to Moqi Mountain in Juzhou to negotiate with Yang An'er and delimited the spheres of influence of both parties. He also mentioned to Yang An'er that the two families were getting married. This is probably true.
This Guo Ning may not be from the same family as Yang An'er, but he is definitely not from the Dajin court either.
Wugu Lun Rongzu sighed deeply.
In this case, why is it necessary to go to Yexian? What else can you talk about with Guo Ning? Can I still convince Guo Ning to be loyal to the court with my sharp tongue? If I had that ability, would I still be an empty governor in Dinghai Prefecture?
"We are not going to Yexian." He whispered and turned around.
The left and right were completely confused and hurriedly followed.
It didn't take long.
Guo Ning, who was in the Marshal's Mansion in the middle of Ye County, was concentrating on reviewing files when there was a soft sound of footsteps at the door. He raised his head and saw Xu Jin walking in.
"What's up?"
"When Wugu Lun Rongzu arrived outside the city of Ye County, he suddenly hesitated for a moment and then turned his horse back." Xu Jin said respectfully.
Guo Ning laughed: "What do you mean? I've even arranged the food and drinks for the dinner!"
"Most likely, he has figured it out and made a decision."
Guo Ning frowned.
Xu Jin stepped forward and said, "I'll keep an eye on him. If he knows what he's interested in, that's fine. If he doesn't know what he's interested in..."
