Xumi Pianruo was so happy. Now he finally knew why His Majesty asked him to go to Yunzhou to investigate the case.
Now, if the Yunzhou case is combined with Gao Yuanshi's case, many interesting things and many interesting people will be found.
Why was Gao Yuanshi able to return to Geling from the Thirteen Prefectures in the North so quickly? Who helped him along the way?
How many people did Gao Yuanshi's disciple prepare such a big gift for in Enli County in southern Xinjiang?
Datong ticket numbers are not only popular in Geling, there are Datong ticket numbers in almost all the larger cities in Dayu.
This time the ticket number was exposed, who could tell the exact number of melons that Xumi Pianruo could pick from the vine?
So the very happy Xumi Pianruo, the first thing he did was to send someone to Yunzhou to deliver a message.
He asked someone to tell Lin Ye that the fun was about to begin.
After Lin Ye returned to Yunzhou, his life was not so comfortable, at least not as leisurely as the way back.
He is also the Protector of the Three Norths, and there are still a lot of official matters that need to be handled by him.
Fortunately, Lin Ye is also the person in the world who knows best where to delegate power and where to take it back.
He is not old, but the city is deep and has many means, so everything in Yunzhou does not feel too hard for him.
People who cannot be officials are afraid that their subordinates will take away their rights. People who are able to be officials feel that they are valued and are willing to work hard, but in fact they have no real power in their hands.
Maybe it's because Lin Ye has been receiving teachings from a certain time, but it's just not that obvious.
Maybe he was born like this, it was his own transformation along the way.
One month after Lin Ye returned to Yunzhou, he received a message from Feng Xiu sent from Caoshu City.
It is said that a large army is stationed in Caoshu City, which is like picking up a treasure.
Hong Wuding hoarded a shocking amount of food and supplies in Caoshu City.
No one can say what the use of such a huge amount of supplies was, but it all fell into the hands of the Cowardly Army.
Think about it, in the two or three years since Hongwu Ding was in Dongbo, he had not fought a single major battle, but he had not lost any military exploits.
The size of his frontier army also expanded from less than 30,000 when he first arrived in Dongbo to more than 50,000.
After a series of fierce battles, other people's teams were fighting less and less, while his team was fighting more and more.
What kind of good intentions can there be in people who can do this? Even if they don't want to seek big things, they still want to take advantage of the opportunity to strengthen themselves.
Lin Ye saw through Hong Wuding's thoughts at a glance. Can a person who can expand the army and prepare food be a good person?
Lin Ye knew it all too well, because that's what he did.
As a result, the emperor issued a decree that Hong Wuding and his frontier troops must rush to the northwest frontier within half a year to change defenses.
You can't reach it any slower. Half a year is the limit from the Thirteen Prefectures of Northern Xinjiang to the northwest frontier of Dayu.
Therefore, all the wealth he had worked so hard to save were given to Lin Ye by His Majesty.
When they were in the Thirteen Prefectures of the North, they heard the decree asking Lin Ye to transfer military power to Ning Shehai and Feng Xiu. I don’t know how many people laughed at Lin Ye in their hearts. I don’t know how many people felt that Lin Ye Frustrated.
But when Lin Ye heard that Feng Xiu was asked to lead his troops to station in Caoshu City, he felt happy.
At that time, everyone wanted to shout long live your majesty, long live long live... Is there no reward?
This is just that His Majesty did not directly dig into his own pocket to reward Lin Ye. His Majesty gave Lin Ye all the hard work accumulated by Hongwu Ding for several years.
Hong Wuding looked unhappy at that time, just because of this.
When he left, he turned back and gave Lin Ye a meaningful look. He probably realized what was going on at that time.
Lin Ye was neither noisy nor fussy, and was still in the mood to travel around, precisely because Lin Ye was the first person to hear the emperor's thoughts from the decree that day.
The emperor is equivalent to holding Lin Ye's ears and telling him, I will scold you a few words in front of them, just listen. If they want to have fun, let them have fun. I will give you all their good things later. .
So Lin Ye had nothing to worry about. He could even imagine Feng Xiu's drooling look when he opened the Caoshu City reserve on the day he heard the decree.
I have followed Lin Ye for a long time, which is not such a virtue.
Feng Xiu sent someone to tell Lin Ye that although the Cowardly Army brought winter clothes with them when they went north, they were badly damaged when they came back.
The winter clothes in Caoshu City are thick, warm and new, so one person can be wealthy if he has two sets.
There are also grain and grass supplies, things prepared by Hong Wuding, and the Cowardly Army has a team of nearly 100,000 people. There is no need to worry even if they cannot get supplies from the imperial court for three years in Caoshu City.
Lin Ye asked the people who came to have a good rest for a few days. After returning, he told Feng Xiu that even if we are rich now, we can't waste things.
You have to live frugally and act very pitiful. Anyone who asks if there is enough food and grass in Caoshu City will always say that there is nothing at all.
It is impossible for His Majesty to send someone to ask Hong Wuding. Even if he did, Hong Wuding would not dare to say that he had secretly intercepted and stored a large amount of supplies.
The batch of supplies originally sent from Yunzhou to Dongbo was reported by Hongwu to have been robbed by rioters. Can he now believe that it was hidden in his backyard?
Lin Ye asked someone to tell Feng Xiu, let's just take advantage of the mute, don't show it around.
They also need to send someone to deliver a message to Dongbo's capital, Xiantang, to tell Yu Yucheng that there is a shortage of supplies in Caoshu City. After Dongbo's national strength has eased, he will send someone to deliver it as soon as possible.
The soldiers must be restrained and not allowed to go out and show off. They may act like fools and tell everyone that our family is rich.
You want a good son from a landlord's family, but you can't stand in the way of a stupid son from a landlord's family.
After making arrangements here, Shi Jintang, who had followed Lin Ye from Geling to Yunzhou to work as a coolie, came to visit.
Shi Jintang, who took over as the governor of Yulingwei Town, originally thought that he came to Yunzhou to enjoy his leisure time.
Who would have thought that in Yunzhou, he would be an out-and-out coolie, eating grass that even cows would not eat, and having to squeeze out more milk than cows.
Because he did not have a local official position in Yunzhou and worked for him, he really couldn't worry about the Duhu's salary and worry about the Duhu.
"Lord Protector."
Shi Jintang was stunned as soon as he entered the door. After bowing, he threw himself on the chair and couldn't get up.
"If the Lord Protector doesn't arrange for local officials, the subordinate officials will really not be able to do their jobs. They will not be able to do what they want. They are really unable to do what they want."
After he said this, he leaned back on the chair and sighed, as if if you don't take responsibility for me today, I will eat and live in your house.
When Lin Ye saw him like this, he wanted to laugh. He was more or less guilty of conscience, but it was definitely not as happy as him.
"Master Shi, what does this mean?"
Lin Ye asked hypocritically.
Shi Jintang said: "Lord Protector, you entrusted me with everything. At first, I could barely handle it. As a result, Xumi Pianruo arrested hundreds of people in Yunzhou. Now, in the counties and counties below Yunzhou, ten There are six or seven chief officer seats available."
He shook his head: "I can't do it, and no one can do it. If Lord Protector doesn't arrange for local officials, then I will have no choice but to go back to Geling. Your Majesty, it's better to kill me than to die from exhaustion here."
Lin Ye said: "As the envoy of Yulingwei Town, why don't you report this matter to the court and His Majesty as soon as possible?"
Shi Jintang: "What's the use of my reporting? Your Majesty is waiting for the memorial from the Protector."
This was another reason why the emperor asked Lin Ye to return to Yunzhou as soon as possible.
Xumi Pianruo scraped a layer of land like he scraped the land in Yunzhou. Now in Yunzhou, there are really not many officials controlled by the old noble family.
Looking at the entire Dayu, there is no place as clean as Yunzhou.
Not to mention the officials who are not controlled by the noble clan, there are almost no officials left.
Before and after Tuoba Lie was appointed, the emperor blew several times in Yunzhou one after another, and then the forest leaves blew again, this time it was Xumi Pianruo.
The ground was all shaved off.
The emperor hoped that Lin Ye would return to Yunzhou and report the situation in Yunzhou to the court as soon as possible.
In this way, the emperor could justifiably rearrange local officials in Yunzhou on a large scale.
Yunzhou is now clean and tidy. It is not impossible for those members of the noble old clan to intervene, but they need to take a long-term approach, which is laborious and takes a long time.
The layout of them and Tuoba Lie in Yunzhou is not as simple as just a few people.
It's like laying a foundation. Layer by layer, local officials, big and small, have laid the foundation.
The emperor has now scraped away the foundation, and it is time to lay the foundation again.
Shi Jintang's memorial was of little use, but Lin Ye was still the Protector of the Sanbei Protectorate, so the emperor could use his memorial to make a fuss.
Lin Ye said: "My memorial has been sent to Geling a long time ago, but Master Shi also knows that I am now considered a guilty person, so I don't know if it will be useful if the memorial is sent to Geling."
Shi Jintang glared at Lin Ye with all his strength, almost as if he was breaking the jar.
Anyway, if you don't solve it for me, the worst possible outcome is death.
Lin Ye thought that it was indeed a bit too much for him to tire others out like this.
In fact, how could Shi Jintang not guess His Majesty's thoughts? He just came to inquire and see when His Majesty's arrangements would come.
Lin Ye's memorial had indeed been sent to him a long time ago. If Lin Ye could guess the emperor's intentions in the Thirteen Prefectures of Northern Xinjiang, how could he pretend to be stupid?
Lin Ye said: "I am really tired to write this memorial. I want to be gentler in wording, and I also want to solve the problem as soon as possible..."
He sighed: "It's all Xumi Pianruo's fault for making the matter so big and putting Yunzhou into trouble all of a sudden."
Speaking of this, he looked at Shi Jintang: "In the memorial, I informed Your Majesty of Master Shi's hardships and difficulties in detail. Don't worry, Master Shi. I even slightly exaggerated, saying that you were tired and sick, and you brought The disease persists, and His Majesty will not ignore it."
Shi Jintang hummed and said casually: "Then there will be more guardians..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly came to his senses and sat up straight.
"Lord Protector, what does this memorial mean?"
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone running outside shouting: "Master Protector, there is a decree coming."
Half an hour later, Shi Jintang was sitting on the steps, wanting to cry.
If it wasn't too embarrassing to wipe his tears in front of everyone, then he would have just cried.
Lin Ye praised him well in the memorial, saying that when Lin Ye led the troops on the expedition, Shi Jintang was responsible for all Yunzhou affairs.
Mr. Shi has worked hard, but without his support, Yunzhou may not be able to overcome the severe shortage of officials.
Lin Ye said that Yunzhou cannot do without Master Shi, and the people of Yunzhou now also have special trust and dependence on Master Shi.
The emperor was moved after reading the memorial and sent someone to Yunzhou to convey the decree and praised Shi Jintang well.
Then, Shi Jintang was appointed as the governor of Yunzhou, located under Lin Ye, with the third rank.
What I mean is that since things in Yunzhou cannot be separated from Shi Jintang, and Shi Jintang has done such a good job, then I will leave Shi Jintang in Yunzhou to benefit the people.
At this time, Shi Jintang felt that when he set out from Geling to Yunzhou, he must have fallen into the hole dug by His Majesty and Lin Ye.
No, the pit was not dug by Lin Ye, but by His Majesty. Lin Ye just pressed him into the pit and prevented him from coming out.
Lin Ye sat down next to Shi Jintang and said with a smile: "Master Shi, I am very happy for you. Look at you, these must be tears of gratitude to His Majesty and happiness for being able to stay in Yunzhou."
