Guo Ning waved his hand: "Go!"
Xu Jin was startled.
He is the head of the Recording Department, in charge of prison litigation and the police department. During this time, his subordinates have expanded a lot. But because Dengzhou and Ninghai Prefecture were newly under control, everything was busy.
Previously, following Guo Ning's instructions, he had sent people to Yang An'er's headquarters and to salt farms and smuggling gangs across Shandong. The people he sent were all capable men who were well-educated and good at maneuvering, so the manpower around him became increasingly tight.
A few days ago, he and Guo Ning had a special discussion to take advantage of the opportunity of the old and weak members of Sha Tai's army to select some people with families in Laizhou who were experienced and capable of dealing with complex situations. After special training, they would serve as recorders. The company's tentacles in various counties. Today, Guo Ningben said that he had already obtained the list and would give it to Xu Jin.
But now...
It seems that Jieshuai doesn't want to mention this matter?
Xu Jin bowed again and said no more. He faced Guo Ning and kept retreating.
Guo Ning held a pen in his hand and pretended to continue reviewing the documents, but secretly raised his eyes to look at Xu Jin's retreat.
The Dinghaijiedushi Residence he was in was very large. It was said to be the residence of Xu Dadao, the fierce general of the Jin Kingdom, in Laizhou in the early years. Over the years, the threshold of the main hall has been badly worn, with a large dent in it. But in the past few days, Lu Han felt uncomfortable, so he brought a craftsman to replace the threshold with a new one.
Guo Ning estimated that if Xu Jin turned his back, if he wasn't careful, he would probably hit his heel on the threshold and fall.
As a result, Xu Jin was smart and retreated to the door of the hall in a determined manner, turned around, and walked out.
Guo Ning laughed and said loudly: "I've conveyed those words first, come back in three days!"
Xu Jin's forehead was slightly sweaty, and he kept saying yes.
Guo Ning has never learned any imperial scheming, but he has united his subordinates again and again in great chaos. In fact, he has no shortage of scheming. While writing those words, he also thought that there was a reason why Xu Jin was so murderous.
There was a lot of things to do in the Recording Department at the moment, so why did he pay special attention to an empty-headed governor? It was nothing more than being entrusted by someone to test Guo Ning's tone and see if Guo Ning was considering using tough measures to control Dengzhou and Ninghai Prefecture.
To Guo Ning, there is no big difference between soft and hard methods. At this time, he used soft means to spread out the system of military households and farmland, and naturally left out all the governors and defense envoys.
And using tough methods is just to find a few excuses and kill a few more people. To be honest, I have already killed the Shandong Road Inspector and Transport Envoy, so why do I still care about others? At most, there were a few barks from the court.
Zhongdu City was still blocked by the Mongolian army. Guo Ning listened carefully to their words and considered himself defeated.
But for Guo Ning's subordinates, there is still a little difference.
If his methods are soft, Guo Ning will show mercy to people like Geng Ge, Wugu Lunrongzu, and Shi Poli. If they are willing to cooperate, they will not lack the status and honor they deserve. Even if they have to adjust, it will be a matter later. .
If the method is harsh, it will be to smash down the heavy cavalry troops, just like sweeping away the heroes in Laizhou. When everything is completely clean, everyone can strive for local positions and high-level official positions. Unexpectedly, the imperial court is beyond its reach and will not reject Guo Ning's recommendation.
Although everyone in the navy is definitely a traitor, there are still many people who still yearn for official positions in the imperial court. That's natural, people all have their own desires, not to mention that since Dajin has been in the domain for hundreds of years, this prestige is still there. These people are the ones who expect Guo Ning to use strong methods to control the two states.
One of them was a close friend of Xu Jin, so he used Xu Jin to find out more.
But from Guo Ning's point of view, since Xu Jin controls the Recording Department and has all kinds of secrets in his hands, he should not get too close to others; it is even more taboo to listen to Guo Ning's thoughts on behalf of others, or even give verbal encouragement. .
Guo Ning gave Xu Jin a small reminder. Xu Jin is a sensible person and should not make mistakes again.
Sure enough, Xu Jin went out holding the writing paper. As soon as he left the hospital, a person came out from the corridor and asked in a deep voice: "How do you say it?"
Xu Jin didn't say much, and only showed the six characters written by Guo Ning.
The meaning of these six words could not be clearer.
All that needs to be done now is to build high walls, accumulate supplies, and seize the opportunity to lay a solid foundation to strengthen the military government. Anyone who has other ideas or plans of their own, please read my handwriting before speaking. If you are dissatisfied, just hold it in for me and wait!
The man looked down and smiled softly: "That's all. Wugu Lun Rongzu is a good man."
Xu Jin nodded and put away the writing paper.
The man added: "I will have a banquet at home in the evening. Lao Xu will come with us. How many drinks will we have?"
Xu Wei smiled bitterly and said: "Commander Jieh gave me this piece of writing paper and asked me to show it to the old brothers in Xiangjunhe. He was talking about the group of people who gathered at the Xijunhe camp for the first time. Now most of them They are officers, and there are more than a hundred of them distributed in three states. Within three days, they have to show them one by one! I will set off immediately, without any delay...Brother Anmin, forgive me for not being able to I’m here to accompany you!”
That person was naturally Jing Anmin, the deputy envoy of Ding Haijun.
In his early years, he relied on Guo Ning's power to capture Zhuozhou, and immediately won over the governor of Zhuozhou, giving himself the reputation of guarding thousands of households. To be honest, he was a bit obsessed with officialdom.
But he is not a person who does not know how to advance and retreat, and he is also very smart.
Hearing that Xu Jin was going to suffer such a hardship, Jing Anmin's eyes narrowed slightly and he immediately said: "I understand, thank you for your hard work, Old Xu. I'll help you with today's affairs."
Xu Jin left in a hurry. As he walked quickly, he called his subordinates, took out a wooden box, and carefully packed the writing paper.
Seeing Xu Jin going out in a hurry, Jing Anmin walked to his courtyard.
He, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, has real power. The construction of cities, roads, and military facilities throughout Laizhou is now in his hands, and he controls as many as ten thousand civilians.
Guo Ning has very high requirements for these things, so Jing Anmin is so busy that he hits the back of his head every day. A few days ago, we finally made arrangements for the government offices and military camps in Ye County, and thousands of people had to be mobilized to build roads. This is all because there must be sufficiently wide traffic between Dengzhou, Laizhou and Ninghai Prefecture so that Guo Ning can control these territories more firmly.
The courtyard where Jing Anmin works is also full of people. He is cautious and down-to-earth. He works every morning and goes out to the city to personally inspect various projects in the afternoon and handle all kinds of trivial matters on site.
After coming out to chat for a few words, Jing Anmin felt a little disappointed, but he quickly put it behind him and continued to work on his own affairs.
I had just reviewed a few documents when I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, the sound of armor, and the sound of my own guards on duty bowing to pay their respects one by one from far to near.
Jing Anmin quickly put down his pen and stood up, welcoming him out of the hall.
"Why is Commander-in-Chief here free?"
Guo Ning looked over, nodded and said, "Brother Anmin doesn't have as many documents on the table as I do, so it's okay to go out for a walk with me."
"Where to go?"
"Donglai Mountain."
Guo Ning said in a deep voice: "We have prepared the temple that we built for the sacrificed soldiers in Donglai Mountain, and the Taoist priest of the Quanzhen Sect has also arrived. Today is the day when the soldiers are buried and their spiritual tablets are enshrined."
Jing Anmin slapped his forehead hard: "I was so busy that I forgot! Jieshuai, let's go together!"
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Dongnae Mountain is now Daji Mountain. Some people say that Daji is a misreading of Tai Chi, which seems to have good Feng Shui.
During the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, two immortals, Changsheng and Changchun, both sought enlightenment here.
