"Let your family live in two places, Mr. Zhao doesn't want his wife and children?" Liu Heng turned his head and looked at Zhao Yutu.
Zhao Yutu smiled bitterly and said: "Why don't you want to, but my lord, you also know the situation here in Shanxi at that time. It is not safe here. If you stay in Qingcheng, although you can rarely see each other, your safety is guaranteed."
"Mr. Zhao has worked hard these past two years." Liu Heng said, "I will hand over the things at hand in a few days and go back to Qingcheng to see my wife and children. It is not good for the family to be separated in two places all the time."
After saying that, he put out the remaining cigarette.
Zhao Yutu hesitated for a moment and said, "Things in Shaanxi haven't been settled yet. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave for a while, so I'd better wait until I finish my work and then go back to Qingcheng to see them."
"I will leave the work here to others. After Mr. Zhao returns to Qingcheng, he will stay under Deputy Director Li to work, so that he can spend more time with his family and children." Liu Heng rejected Zhao Yutu's request An offer to stay.
Zhao Yutu, who wanted to stay in Tumut from now on, turned pale when he heard that, and asked with trembling lips: "But what did my subordinate do wrong?"
I originally thought that Liu Heng was giving him time to rest because of his hard work, but now I realized that he was going to send him to the grassland.
No matter how good it is in Qingcheng, it is far inferior to what we have here in Shanxi.
As the Tiger Character Banner occupied more and more state capitals, only by staying with Liu Heng could he have the chance to be re-employed. Returning to Qingcheng at this time was no different for him than being sent away.
"Mr. Zhao misunderstood. The reason why I arranged for you to return to Qingcheng is that I hope you can go back and take charge of local governance. Hetao is the granary of the Tiger Banner. Recently, there have been changes in the Khalkha tribe on the left wing of Mongolia. I have arranged for you to go back. It is to share the burden on Deputy Director Li so that Deputy Director Li can devote all his energy to dealing with several tribes in left-wing Mongolia." Liu Heng explained.
Zhao Yutu's face softened a little when he heard that he was not assigned.
"I will send someone to take over with you in the next half day and rush back as soon as possible." Liu Heng said.
"Yes, my subordinates will pack up the things when they get back and hand them over to the people sent by the lord." Although Zhao Yutu was reluctant to give up, he did not dare to disobey Liu Heng's order.
Liu Heng picked up a wooden stick as thick as his little finger from somewhere, handed it to Zhao Yutu, and said at the same time: "Use it to scrape the mud on your shoes, and go back after scraping!"
Zhao Yutu took the wooden stick and began to scrape the mud off the sides and bottom of the boots on his feet.
Although the mud on the boots is thick, you can use a wooden stick to scrape the mud off the boots easily and fall to the ground.
His boots were almost completely scratched in a short time. He threw the stick aside, stood up, bowed to Liu Hengshen, and said, "I'm leaving."
Liu Heng nodded.
Zhao Yutu once again returned along the field ridge with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
"Tell Chen Dali that after Zhao Yutu leaves, he will directly attack the officials who committed the crime. Don't arrest them all." Liu Heng said to his guard Zhao Wu with a gloomy face.
After Zhao Yutu became Shanxi's chief envoy, he took great care of his officials who were scholars, especially those scholars who had meritorious status, and focused on cultivating them.
In the north, the families that can afford to support scholars are, at worst, from landlords. Farmer families rarely produce scholars who focus on scientific examinations.
One is that the academic atmosphere in the north is not as strong as that in the south of the Yangtze River, and the other is that more places in the north are much poorer than in the south.
The income of some homesteaders in the south of the Yangtze River is even higher than that of small landowners in the north.
After all, ordinary people in the south of the Yangtze River can do some weaving work, and some women even earn more than the men in the family.
In the north, more people still rely on farming.
However, the families of small landowners who work on the land can only have enough to eat, and the expenses required to train scholars are simply not something that ordinary families can afford.
After the Tiger-Character Banner captured some state capitals in Shanxi and Shaanxi, apart from some scholars who were unwilling to join the Tiger-Character Banner and fled to other places, there were also many scholars with meritorious status who stayed under the Tiger-Character Banner's rule.
For this kind of scholars, as long as they are willing to work for the Tiger Character Flag, the Tiger Character Flag will naturally welcome them. In addition, Zhao Yutu naturally wants to get close to these scholars with fame and fame, and inadvertently promotes a large number of such scholars with fame and fame.
Many of these scholars came from wealthy gentry families in Shanxi and Shaanxi. Some of them became officials of the Tiger-Character Banner and began to have the bad habits of Ming officials.
While reaping the benefits, he did not forget to take more care of his own family. He even dared to grab the military rations sent from Shanxi to Shaanxi. It can be said that the officials of the Ming Dynasty learned the bad habits thoroughly.
It's a pity that the tiger-character flag is not the Ming Dynasty. Once the Intelligence Bureau found out, it immediately sent the news to Liu Heng's desk.
And because of Zhao Yutu's care, these people became more and more courageous.
Fortunately, Zhao Yutu was not involved. Instead, he was deceived by the people below and did not know the crimes committed by the people he promoted. Otherwise, he would not have been transferred from Shanxi and sent to the grasslands, but directly arrested by the Intelligence Bureau.
"Let's go, let's go back too." Liu Heng started walking back along the field ridge with bare feet.
On the dirt road at the end of the field, the Datong County Magistrate, the town mayor here, and some officials were all standing guard outside the field ridge, waiting for Liu Heng to return from the fields.
When Liu Heng went out of the city to inspect the fields, these people stayed with him.
Following the ridge back to the field, Liu Heng rinsed his feet with water from the canal, then asked for his shoes from the guard, wiped the water stains on his feet and put them on.
"You can go about your own business. There is no need to stay here with me." Liu Heng said to the officials standing around.
With his current status, every time he travels, he must be accompanied by local officials. Even if he doesn't like it, he knows that such things are inevitable.
At his request, the Datong County Magistrate and several county officials finally left, leaving only the local mayor and two police officers who were familiar with the surrounding villages.
After hearing this, Mao Wenlong snorted coldly and said: "As long as the leather island is there, Tieshan can be there. Without the leather island, Tieshan will be lost sooner or later. You, Chen Zhong, don't understand this truth."
"The general knows the importance of Skin Island to our Dongjiang Town, but the current situation on the island has not been understood by the general. Moreover, even if the general summons soldiers and horses, there are not enough ships to transport these soldiers and horses for skinning. Island." Chen Zhong cried out in pain.
Just like the officers and soldiers on Pi Island obey the orders of Mao Wenlong alone, the soldiers and horses here in Tieshan are the soldiers and horses that Chen Zhong can control.
Even the elite officers and soldiers on Pi Island were no match for the Tiger Flag. The soldiers and horses here in Tieshan were not as good as those on Pi Island. He didn't want to watch his soldiers go to Pi Island to die.
