Zhang Guangdao was very familiar with Yu Song.
Once upon a time, Yu Song was a genius of the Yu family, a favorite disciple taught by Yan Xuanqing, who was the best among his generation. Even Zhang Guangdao, Yu Song's elders, were overwhelmed by Yu Song.
If you want to debate with Yu Song, the other party's tongue will be as bright as a lotus flower. He will quote scriptures when he opens his mouth. His careful logic and sharp language will leave you speechless.
You want to use martial arts with Yu Song. Sorry, although he is a scholar, he is very skilled in martial arts and can kill people with a big sword. Yu Song was once in Qiantang County. He led the trained militiamen and rushed to the front to chase the Japanese and kill them. He was a very ruthless man.
Such people come from a wealthy family in Yangzhou.
He was supposed to be the leader of the younger generation of Yangzhou's big family, and he was supposed to be the leader who would lead Yangzhou's big family in the future.
However, Yu Song grew crooked and claimed that the big families in Yangzhou should cultivate their moral integrity and regulate their families and suppress the expansion of each family. The big families should treat the people well and not compete with them for profit, so they should release more resources to the people.
It's simply treasonous.
Fortunately, Yu Song was expelled from the Yu family and had to live in seclusion in the killing dam. No one heard anything about Yu Song again.
Now, Yu Chan came out.
How could Zhang Guangdao not be shocked? How not to be surprised?
Yu Song looked at Zhang Guangdao's hesitant and shocked look and said with a smile, "Don't you recognize me, Mr. Zhang?"
Zhang Guangdao came back to his senses after being shocked, his old face was a little stiff, and he asked: "You, why were you appointed as the governor of Yangzhou?"
Yu Song chuckled and replied: "His Majesty favored me and personally visited the Killing Dam. Please ask me to take charge of Yangzhou and bring order to the chaos. Does Mr. Zhang doubt your Majesty's decision? Or does he not recognize your Majesty's arrangement?"
In a word, words carry a knife.
With a gun and a stick.
Zhang Guangdao was so frightened that his heart trembled, and he quickly said: "No, I definitely don't mean this. I will follow your Majesty's arrangement!"
Zhang Guangdao secretly said that Yu Song was difficult to deal with.
This man is very cunning and ruthless, and he will be led into trouble if he is not careful.
Zhang Guangdao regained his composure and was already thinking about notifying Yu Yong, Wu Junyan, Bai Wanli and others to discuss countermeasures when he returned. Otherwise, under Yu Song's tough tactics, the Yangzhou family would not be able to stabilize the current situation.
This time Zhao Shan entered Yangzhou, killed Gu Xianxiong, and asked the big Yangzhou families to hand over countless grains, land, and people. All families did so, and suffered great losses.
Fortunately, the businesses of each family are still there.
The foundation is all there.
Even if there is a loss, as long as members of each family are officials and remain in Yangzhou, they will be able to make it back sooner or later.
Local governance has always been dominated by the emperor and the powerful family. When things in Yangzhou are completely stable and Zhao Shan leaves, the situation in Yangzhou will be easier to handle. A few decades later, after Zhao Shan died and the emperor changed, everything was different.
The problem is that Yu Song is back.
Yu Song will definitely deal a second blow to the wealthy people in Yangzhou.
This is a big problem.
Zhang Guangdao didn't show any expression, and said solemnly: "As Governor Yu is in charge of Yangzhou, the lower officials should obey the orders and obey the arrangements of the Lord. I wonder what the Lord Yu ordered when he summoned the lower officials?"
Yu Song said calmly: "His Majesty said that you are in charge of the examination and selection of scholars in the Wu Palace. Your Majesty trusts me to take charge of this matter. I want to ask you, how are the arrangements going?"
Zhang Guangdao's heart skipped a beat.
Yu Song came to take charge and prepare good things.
But the official level is overwhelming.
Zhang Guangdao couldn't refuse, and replied honestly: "The official has notified the officials, posted notices at the four city gates, and also notified the people of each family."
Yu Song asked: "Is that it?"
Zhang Guangdao asked: "Isn't it enough?"
"not enough!"
Yu Song answered without hesitation and said forcefully: "I said three points, please note them down."
Zhang Guangdao hesitated for a moment and replied: "Please give me your instructions."
Yu Song's eyes were shining brightly and he ordered: "First, arrange for the officers to beat gongs and drums in the city to publicize it. We must publicize it in Sifang City to let everyone know that this assessment is not only for the big families in Yangzhou. Anyone who has a family in Yangzhou Any talented scholar can take part in the assessment."
Zhang Guangdao asked: "Sir, is it inappropriate to expand the scope so much? Your Majesty's selection of talents is only for scholars from the wealthy families in Yangzhou."
Yu Song's eyes were slightly cold and he asked, "Are you questioning my officer and disobeying my order?"
Zhang Guangdao said: "No!"
Yu Song said coldly: "Remember, I am making arrangements and orders, not discussing with you. Everything I do is authorized by His Majesty. If you don't do it, someone will do it. If you can't do it, tell me early. I It’s easy to change officials.”
Zhang Guangdao was so angry that he panicked.
This damn feeling is here again!
Yu Song is so strong, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
That's how it used to be.
Now it's like this again.
Zhang Guangdao took several deep breaths before adjusting his mentality and emotions, and said respectfully: "I have no objection to your Lordship's arrangement."
Yu Song continued: "Second, arrange for people to go to various places in Wu County to deliver the message. By tomorrow afternoon, we will notify you as far as you can. Anyone who can come to participate in the assessment is allowed to participate."
“When doing things, don’t limit yourself to Wu County, and don’t have too many talents.”
"Zhang Guangdao, you are now the county governor, the father-in-law of the same place, and no longer the helmsman of the family. You should be open-minded and lively, and don't be too rigid in doing things."
Yu Song suggested: "If you do things rigidly, how can you complete your Majesty's entrustment?"
Zhang Guangdao said helplessly: "I understand!"
Yu Song then ordered: "Third, when it comes to this assessment and selection, people from each family must behave themselves. I don't want any suppression, bullying, or targeting of the scholars during the assessment."
Zhang Guangdao expressed his position: "Your Excellency, you are worrying too much. This is impossible."
Yu Song sneered twice and said disdainfully: "Nothing is impossible. In the past, big families did a lot of dirty things to promote their own people. It's very common for people to be cold and cold, especially in big families."
Zhang Guangdao sighed in his heart and stopped talking.
However, Yu Song no longer wanted to fight with Zhang Guangdao and ordered: "Go down."
"I am resigning."
Zhang Guangdao bowed respectfully to Yu Song and then turned around and left. After he walked out of the governor's house, he glanced at the dazzling sun.
The sun is a little hot after the rain.
The sun makes people panic.
Zhang Guangdao withdrew his gaze and looked back at the somewhat desolate Governor's Mansion, but he couldn't help but sigh.
When Yu Song comes, the sky in Yangzhou is about to change.
Zhang Guangdao first went to the prefect's mansion to implement Yu Song's arrangements, and then returned to the Zhang family and arranged for people to call all the principals of the families, including Yu Yong, Bai Wanli, Wu Junyan, and Zhou Xin.
Zhang Guangdao saw that everyone had arrived and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I just went to meet the new governor of Yangzhou."
Wu Junyan looked curious and asked: "Mr. Zhang, who is the new governor of Yangzhou? Is it easy to get along with him? Why was the governor suddenly appointed without any news?"
Zhou Xin, Bai Wanli and others also asked.
Zhang Guangdao avoided answering, his eyes fell on Yu Yong, and asked tentatively: "Does the head of the Yu family know?"
"have no idea!"
Yu Yong knew it but pretended to be dumbfounded.
The second son of his family went to serve as the governor of Yangzhou. Although the second son was ruthless and hostile to the big family, the second son was from the Yu family and was beneficial to the Yu family.
You can't say you know this.
Just don't know.
Seeing Yu Yong's denial, Zhang Guangdao couldn't figure out what Yu Yong was thinking, so he stopped hiding it and said without hesitation: "The current governor of Yangzhou is Yu Song, who is Yu Yong's biological brother."
Wow! ! !
There was an uproar in the hall.
Everyone was shocked.
"How could it be? Yu Song, a person who is not loved by pigs and dogs, is extremely hateful. He is a smelly stone in the pit, smelly and hard. How can a person like him come back to serve as the governor?"
"Yu Song is a shame to the great clan. As the governor of Yangzhou, he will definitely suppress us in every possible way. The situation is very unfavorable to us."
"Yu Yong, you said you didn't know, how could you not know?"
"Your Majesty is really stupid. He doesn't arrange for talented people to be in Yangzhou's wealthy families, but he arranges for Yu Song to serve as the governor of Yangzhou. Aren't you worried about the unrest in Yangzhou?"
"We cannot sit back and do nothing."
People from the big families in Yangzhou expressed their opinions one after another, and their expressions were even more anxious, worried that Yu Song would be detrimental to the big families. In the past, Yu Song was suppressed by the big families because of his radical words and deeds, and even went against the big family.
Now, it suddenly appears again.
The heads of each big family are panicking and don’t know what to do?
