Huo Zonghou swallowed the food in his mouth and said: "In any case, he is the county magistrate of Yanghewei, and you are just the county magistrate. If you want to go beyond him as the county magistrate to allocate fields, you'd better send someone to deliver a letter to Datong in advance. Town, inform the proprietor of the situation here in Yanghewei and the attitude of County Magistrate Su."
"I've thought about it, and today I will send someone to report the situation here to Datong Town. If possible, I also ask Huo Shoubei to join me in reporting to the proprietor." Jiao Yun looked at Huo Zonghou.
"Eat first. After dinner, go to the study to write. The two of us will sign together. I will send someone from the garrison office to send it to Datong Town on a fast horse." Huo Zonghou said.
Jiao Yun hugged his fists gratefully.
As a guard of Yanghe Guard, Huo Zonghou would not have done much wrong even if he did nothing on the matter of dividing the fields. The dividing of fields was a matter of the county government and had little to do with the garrison office.
"What are you writing? Can you tell me."
As the words fell, the curtain outside the door was opened, and several big men walked in.
Jiao Yun and Huo Zonghou turned to look at the door almost at the same time.
After the two people saw the leader among the big men, they stood up quickly, saluted one after another, and said, "I have met Director Yang."
"We are all members of our family, no need to be polite, just sit down." Yang Yuan, who came into the room, pressed his hands towards the two people, walked around the table and sat down in front of the main seat.
When Jiao Yun and Huo Zonghou saw him sitting down, they slowly took their seats.
Yang Yuan glanced at the food on the table and said with a smile: "Three dishes, not bad. Another bowl of soup would be even better. But it doesn't matter if there is no soup. After eating, take a tea jar and make some tea. It will be the same after drinking." full."
"I just made some food. Director, would you like to eat some together?" With that said, Huo Zonghou picked up a new pair of bowls and chopsticks and handed them over.
Yang Yuan took the bowl and chopsticks and said with a smile: "I'm really hungry after traveling all the way."
He reached out and picked up a piece of pancake from the basket, rolled it up, put it to his mouth and took a big bite, then picked up a piece of salted fish with chopsticks and took a bite.
While chewing the food in his mouth, he said to the two people at the same table: "You guys eat too."
Jiao Yun and Huo Zonghou each picked up their chopsticks and accompanied Yang Yuan to eat the food on the table.
"The food here is still delicious, but the food at the county government office is full of big fish and meat, which makes you tired of looking at it." Yang Yuan picked up a peanut from the plate and threw it into his mouth to chew.
However, when Jiao Yun and Huo Zonghou, who were at the same table, heard this, they sat upright.
What they just said made the two of them understand that the director of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau in front of them had already gone to the county government office to meet with Su Naichen, the head of Yanghewei County.
Jiao Yun considered his tone and said, "Director, we didn't mean to embarrass County Magistrate Su. It was because we had too big differences over the distribution of fields that the quarrel broke out."
"Go on and eat!" Yang Yuan glanced at Jiao Yun and Huo Zonghou who had stopped eating, pointed at the food on the table, and said immediately, "I'm not here to resolve the quarrel between the two of you. Besides, this matter is not under the jurisdiction of the Foreign Intelligence Service.”
While speaking, he did not stop picking up vegetables and eating.
"We are full. Director, please eat yours." Jiao Yun put down the chopsticks in his hand, indicating that he was full.
At the same time, he and Huo Zonghou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them were really afraid that Yang Yuan was trying to stand up for Su Naichen. If this happened, they wouldn't have to divide their fields. After all, as the director of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, Yang Yuan was already one of the top leaders of the Tiger Flag, and the Foreign Intelligence Bureau was very important. In sensitive departments, only Dongzhu Liu's most trusted people can serve as chief officers.
"Since you are all full, I won't be polite." Yang Yuan opened the pancake in his hand, put the two pieces of salted fish on the plate inside, and then pulled the plate of pickles and peanuts closer to him. Some, continue to eat.
Jiao Yun and Huo Zonghou sat at the table and watched Yang Yuan eat.
After a while, seeing that Yang Yuan had almost eaten, Jiao Yun stood up, picked up the teapot on the side, pinched some tea leaves and put it in, then picked up the teapot on the stove and poured hot water into it.
After brewing the tea, he went over and put it in Yang Yuan's hand.
At this time, Huo Zonghou had already asked people to remove the dishes and baskets from the table.
"When I first came here, I heard you guys say you wanted to write something and sign it together. Can you tell me what you want to write?" Yang Yuan turned to look at Jiao Yun and Huo Zonghou.
Jiao Yun hesitated for a moment and said: "County Magistrate Su insisted on not dividing the fields. Huo Shoubei and I really had no choice, so we wanted to sort out the difficult conditions for dividing the fields in Yanghewei and send them to Datong Town for the proprietor's review."
"I want the proprietor to change the county magistrate to Su Naichen!" Yang Yuan picked up the teapot and blew in the hot air inside.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Jiao Yun's face as he guessed his thoughts.
Yang Yuan took away the teapot from his mouth, looked at Jiao Yun and said: "As the Prime Minister of Yanghewei County, you have to find a way to solve the difficulties. You can't rely on the proprietor to solve everything for you. I want you to be like this. When something happens, ask the proprietor to come forward. With so many state and county governments in Datong Town, as well as things on the grassland, the proprietor will be busy even if he doesn't rest every day."
"I didn't do a good job as the county magistrate of Yang Hewei. Please ask the director of the department to punish me." Jiao Yun stood up and bowed his head to admit his mistake.
Huo Zonghou next to him also stood up.
Yang Yuan waved his hand gently and said: "Sit down, everyone. I don't mean to blame you. After all, this is the first time our Tiger Character Banner has governed a border town in the Ming Dynasty. Things here are very complicated, unlike governing the grassland. It's so simple, and it's inevitable to make some mistakes, especially when you meet such a county magistrate, who is restrained no matter what he does."
"The director of the department is right. During the time I came to Yanghewei, everything I did felt awkward. It was far less comfortable than when I was in the war barracks. I really want to go back to being a war soldier before and fight with the enemy with real swords." A fight with real guns." Huo Zonghou said with approval.
Yang Yuan smiled and asked: "So you want to go back? Are you unwilling to stay in Yanghe Guard as a guard?"
Huo Zonghou nodded vigorously after hearing this.
As one of the top leaders of Tiger Flag, Yang Yuan believed that he could return to his former war division as long as he was willing to say a few words to him.
"You are even unqualified in Yang He Wei's defense, and you still want to go back. I think you should stay here and learn how to be a qualified local guard first." Yang Yuan's face darkened.
Huo Zonghou didn't expect Director Yang, who had a glowing face just now, to turn cold and cold, his lower back subconsciously straightened up, and his entire body was as silent as a chill.
"Do you think I said it too harshly? Do you think you did a good job in the defensive position?" Yang Yuan stared at Huo Zonghou and asked.
Huo Zonghou hurriedly shook his head and said, "My subordinates don't think so. The director of the department is right."
