"Looking to you gentlemen, Governor Feng, good news." Zhao Sheng walked in overjoyed, holding a letter.
Zhao Sheng has lost weight these days and has become thinner and darker. If he were put in front of his old friends in Handan, he would definitely scare them.
For more than three years since the Shangdang War, almost all the people have fled, the land has been abandoned, the houses need to be rebuilt, the land needs to be reclaimed, and everything is in ruins.
After Zhao Sheng came to Shangdang, he quickly made a development plan, but when it was implemented, he was dumbfounded...
There are no officials in the Shangdang!
When he was the prime minister, he didn't need to do anything himself. He only needed to arrange things and leave them to the officials below.
But apart from Feng Ting, the county governor, the Shangdang couldn't even get together the county magistrates and county lieutenants. Where would the officials come from? The magistrates and chiefs of many counties and cities have not yet been appointed.
In desperation, Zhao Sheng could only call his customers to help.
If there are not enough officials, hangers-on will come to help!
I have to say that the gap between Zhao Sheng's group of hangers-on and Wei Wuji's hangers-on is a bit big. There are people when eating, but no one when working.
When many diners heard that they were being "assigned" to Shangdang, they just packed up their bags and left.
Of course, most of the diners were loyal and followed Zhao Sheng to Shangdang without saying a word.
It's a pity that although these people are loyal, they are also people with high ambitions and low abilities. They can talk about the country for a long time without repeating it, but they can only stare at it when they practice it themselves.
In desperation, Zhao Sheng could only take action personally. He led the people to reclaim farmland every day, helped them build houses and water conservancy projects, distributed plows sent from Handan to every household, and also found ways to help these people get cattle for farming. .
In the end, there were not enough cattle for farming, which seriously affected land reclamation. Zhao Sheng directly used his connections to get 3,000 horses from the officials in charge of horse administration, and lent them to the people to cultivate the land, and then returned them after the cultivation was completed.
The endurance of horses is not good, and the plowing speed is not as fast as that of oxen, but they are still better than people!
This strategy was told to Zhao Sheng by a retainer named Mao Sui. Mao Sui was also one of the very few of Zhao Sheng's retainers who could do practical things.
After this incident, Zhao Sheng's standards for accepting customers were very different from before.
Under Zhao Sheng's governance, Shangdang emerged from the ruins little by little. There were newly built houses and newly reclaimed farmland everywhere, and the faces of the people were full of hopeful smiles.
If you only look at the surface, the prosperity of Shangdang is even comparable to that before the war.
Zhao Sheng had never seen these mud-legged people before. In his opinion, he and these mud-legged people were completely in two different worlds.
But after he helped these mud-legged people rebuild their homes, and looked at the smiles on their faces, he also smiled from the bottom of his heart.
Nowadays, the reputation of the virtuous son Zhao Sheng is spread everywhere in Shangdang. For the first time, Zhao Sheng's reputation has spread from the scholars to the common people in Guizhou. There are even nursery rhymes praising him.
Zhao Sheng never thought that the mud-legged man, whom he had never seen before, could bring him such a great reputation.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
He is a person who is willing to do anything for reputation. He used to kill his concubine for reputation, but now he can stay with these idiots every day for reputation.
Because his talent is that the higher his reputation, the higher his intelligence.
Fame has brought him not only 3,000 diners, but also real strength!
As Zhao Sheng's reputation spread among civilians, his strength became stronger and stronger, his speed in handling things became faster and faster, the Shangdang's development became better and better, and Zhao Sheng's reputation also increased. It’s getting bigger and bigger…
A virtuous cycle is formed.
These days, it can be said that Zhao Sheng has visited almost every corner of Shangdang, including fields, dams, houses...he is busy everywhere.
Zhao Sheng can guarantee that he can now beat one and a half of his former self.
In comparison, Le Yi and Feng Ting were very relaxed. They were responsible for defending the Qin army, but the Qin army was too lazy to attack the sheep. The two had nothing to do every day, and they could not leave Yaodu Pass, so they could only train soldiers. Relieve boredom.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Pingyuan." Feng Ting saluted Zhao Sheng respectfully.
The sufferings Zhao Sheng suffered were originally his, but he really had no choice, so he complained to Zhao Kuo, and finally Zhao Kuo sent Zhao Sheng over.
"It's not hard, it's not hard." Zhao Sheng waved his hand nonchalantly, he was enjoying it now.
"Mr. Pingyuan is truly a gentleman." Feng Ting admired Zhao Sheng even more.
"What's the good news?" Le Yi asked.
"General Lian Po defeated the Qi army and captured 200,000 Qi soldiers. Then the king went south and surrounded Linzi. Qi State sued for peace. General Tian Dan also defeated the 200,000 Han and Wei troops at the foot of Ye City. The kings of Wei and Han personally rushed Go to Yecheng to make an alliance with the king. Now we, the Three Jins, have formed an alliance again, and I, the State of Zhao, are still the leader of the alliance."
Zhao Sheng said happily.
"That guy Tian Dan defeated the Han and Wei coalition forces?" Le Yi didn't believe it.
"Really, look, this is the news from the king." Zhao Sheng handed the letter to Le Yi.
"Thirty thousand military souls!" Le Yi looked at the information in shock and couldn't calm down for a long time. With this strength, even he can't guarantee victory.
It can even be said that if both sides only lead 30,000 troops, the probability of him losing is as high as 90%.
Of course, if it were an army of 300,000, Le Yi would still be confident.
After a few breaths, Le Yi said with emotion, "It seems that this guy has made up his mind to attach himself to Zhao State, even spending his money."
"Jun Duping is truly a famous general throughout the ages." Feng Ting said with great admiration.
At the same time, I felt a little disappointed. When I was in Korea, he was considered to be the best. Even the King of Korea respected him very much.
Now that we have arrived in Zhao State, we know how vast the world is.
Not only was any military commander randomly selected to be stronger than him, but even the civil servants were far more capable than he imagined.
The monarch and the prime minister (Tian Dan) are out on an expedition.
In just two months after former Prime Minister Zhao Sheng came to Shangdang, he managed the Shangdang in an orderly manner.
Feng Ting also heard that Lin Xiangru, the most famous virtuous minister in Zhao State, was recovering at home.
Without Zhao Kuo, Tian Dan, Zhao Sheng, and Lin Xiangru, the Zhao court not only did not have any turmoil, but even continued to deliver food and grass to the front line.
Facing these ruthless people, Feng Ting couldn't think of any competition at all.
"I've been like this all my life, but the next generation of my Feng family is no weaker than anyone else." Feng Ting thought in his mind.
He had three sons. The eldest son died in the Battle of Changping, leaving him a grandson.
The second son is named Feng Muze, and the third son is named Feng Quji. One is a martial artist and the other is a literary scholar. They are both very talented. Le Yi highly praises them.
Grandson Feng Jie is also very smart.
Feng Ting believes that given time, they will be able to surpass themselves.
