Even though Lord Wenxin is a feudal lord, his position and strength compared with Lord Wuan are like a pearl of rice competing for the brightness of the bright moon.
Therefore, so far, there are only a few dozen people who can become Wu Anjun's confidants, and among these dozens of people, they are divided into the first echelon, the second echelon, and the third echelon.
Ran Jing belongs to the kind of person who is a confidant in his confidant and a roundworm in his belly.
Who wouldn't envy it?
"Look, your Majesty is holding a wedding for General Ran. This is a great honor."
"Who says it isn't?"
A man with good intentions turned his head to look at Jing Huai next to him and said with a smile.
"Look, General Ran, your Majesty is the matchmaker himself, and you are also his subordinate after all. I remember that when you got married, your Majesty was not so grand."
A trace of gloom flashed in Jing Huai's eyes, and a sneer rose from the corner of his mouth, "I said, Mr. Xing must have had too much wine."
"My family is half merchant and half landowner. According to the laws of the Xia Kingdom, I will never join the army. But now? I am also a general, and your Majesty has never neglected me. Mr. Just stop talking about it.”
Mr. Xing's face froze, he smiled and said nothing more.
Jing Huai is arrogant and has made some mistakes during the war, but he knows that your Majesty has tolerated him many times and given him many opportunities.
Because almost every punishment was given in the camp. Even if he was scolded, he was scolded in the camp.
When he got outside, almost no soldiers knew. In this way, his face was not damaged. He just didn't talk much and looked a bit sinister.
But even if he smiles arrogantly, it does not mean that he will betray Junshang. After all, these days, there are not many superiors who can protect their subordinates like Junshang.
At least so far, Your Majesty has never done anything to one of your own.
This alone could make Jing Huai follow him wholeheartedly.
Mr. Xing is the censor of another county. Although he is the censor, his immediate boss is Mr. Wu An. He is not a bad person, but his mouth is a bit broken.
This is not a secret among county-level officials, and there are rumors that this guy was beaten up by someone sent by the emperor because of the long and lengthy official document, which made the emperor's eyes sore after reading it.
Because of this incident, the official reporting documents among the officials were immediately optimized a lot, removing many of the Spring and Autumn style of writing and gorgeous rhetoric, and only talking about the actual facts.
This incident caused many officials to immediately change their styles.
What is good at the top must be bad at the bottom. This is human nature and has been like this throughout the ages.
Wu Gaolang, who was behind him, patted Lord Xing on the shoulder with a smile.
"Let me tell you, you were beaten last time and you still don't have a long memory. Now you are going to provoke Jing Huai. He is the sword in your hands and has helped you kill many enemies."
"I remember, one time my father in Jinghuai was ill and needed precious medicinal materials, but your Majesty took them out without saying a word. You must know that there was only one medicinal material in your inventory, and Dr. Ge was so angry at that time. I want to tear Jinghuai apart."
Mr. Xing's face stiffened, and he turned around and sneered, "Actually, I think I talk very little. General Wu, please don't joke. Besides, everyone knows General Jing's loyalty."
"snort!"
Jing Huai gave him a slap on the back of his head.
Although there is no clear distinction yet in Yuntong County, all officials know that the separation of military and political affairs is a prerequisite. In other words, if the two gangs are not affiliated with each other at all, there will be no relationship.
It feels more natural to speak, and there is no need to sell anyone's face or anything like that.
"It's a pity that Jia Guohao is not here, otherwise it would be even more lively."
Gu Weiqi, who was next to him, immediately smoothed things over, fearing that a few people would get into a fight over drinking. Wu Gaolang's temper was not very good. He was born in the grassland. Although he admitted that he was from the Central Plains, after all, he lived and grew up in such a bitter and cold place. Drawing a knife to kill someone over a disagreement is also a common thing.
Jing Huai curled his lips, "Jia Guohao is very lucky, he looks quite wretched, but now as a general guarding the border, he is the best in our current period."
"There are gains and losses. It's very bitter and cold over there. Goguryeo didn't do much to protect its borders in the past. When the enemies from the north came, they just fought without any way to deal with them."
"Yes, Lao Jia is having a hard time now. It will be troublesome if he can stay, and it will be troublesome if he can't stay. But it depends on him!"
In every county in Liaodong, the county guard is naturally the largest. Unfortunately, with Yuntong's system, the county guard has lost its biggest support and has no co-ordination for the county captains.
The county lieutenant commands the county soldiers and belongs to the army. That is to say, Jia Guohao is currently the most powerful general in Liaodong.
Everyone was eating, drinking, and chatting in small groups. Unbeknownst to these officials and generals, some servants began to serve them food and pour wine.
However, many servants were a little strange because they didn't know some of the people who came to help.
In a secret place, confidential letters were tallied up one after another and made into volumes.
A member of the Tianshou Division holding a piece of pancake chuckled, "This county captain actually dares to say that, hahaha, I'm laughing so hard."
"Tch, what's this? Look, this censor, his mouth is broken."
"Hahaha, just wait. At the end of this banquet, at least a dozen people will be beaten. Your Majesty's method of dealing with them is quite strange. Once corporal punishment is used, these officials will definitely have a long memory."
At this time, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man walked in, he frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Do more, talk less, finish early and leave early. If you don't finish, everyone will have to work overtime."
A woman rolled her eyes and said, "Cao Tongzhi, while others enjoy spicy food, we are eating pancakes here. Alas, why are our lives so miserable?"
Cao Tongzhi sneered and said, "Why, it has only been a few years since the good times. I am not satisfied with this or that. Before the Lord comes, people will freeze to death in winter. If the food harvest is slightly short, it is common for people to starve to death."
He picked up the pancake and took a bite. "These days are not bad. At least no one is starving to death or freezing to death."
The people present immediately became serious. Such a scene was vivid in their eyes. After all, many people had relatives who died in some extreme weather.
Everyone started to work hard again. The work here is simple, just literacy and some logical thinking are enough.
But the most important thing is to keep it secret, even to your own family. If you make a mistake elsewhere, you will be kicked out at most, but if you make the most basic mistake here and leak the news, you will not lose your job. .
What is lost is life, what is lost is the life of the whole family.
Seeing everyone's state, Cao Tongzhi nodded and walked outside. When he reached the door, he paused and said.
"Your Majesty has left some banquets. Let's go and eat after get off work. If you can't finish it, take it home and give it to your family to try."
After saying that, Cao Tongzhi left.
Everyone was silent for a while, and all started to chuckle. All idiots knew how good the ingredients used by Your Majesty were. Even if they didn’t investigate, they would know that Your Majesty was generous in his actions.
The thought of their families being able to enjoy the same delicacies as the officials made these people write faster.
The information transmitted from the members dispatched from the Amagari Division is compiled, then compiled, and then graded according to the standards specified by the Lord.
According to professional estimates, within an hour after the banquet ends, most of the words spoken by the people at the banquet can be filtered out.
As for the role? That is your Majesty's business.
Yang Qian sat in the main seat. At the beginning, he led the women in a well-behaved manner. As the atmosphere became heated, the drinks were consumed.
Everyone started to get excited.
At least 90% of the people present were from the Xia country. The Xia people were located in the north and were usually bound by etiquette. After drinking, some people began to get carried away.
All the previous images have been thrown away. Drinking means drinking happily. There is no father and son at the wine table. In such an occasion, the king will not cause trouble for his subordinates.
However, what catches people off guard is that not many people drink white wine and corn wine, but the consumption of beer can scare people to death.
Some generals drink beer just like drinking water.
The side effects started to show, and going to the toilet one by one was like queuing up.
A drunken man came over, swaying and bowing his hands to Yang Gan.
"Jun, Your Majesty, I'm really happy today. Everyone didn't pay much attention to you. I, I'm here to talk to you."
Yang Gan smiled, he wouldn't take these jokes to heart. This person is the treasurer, and he also followed Li Si. He must be one of his own, and he has met him once or twice.
Normally, because of his position, he would not smile. Who would have thought that after drinking, he would look like this.
At this time, two people came over and saluted with smiles.
"Your Majesty, he, he is drunk, let's take him down."
"Be careful and take a rest if you can't drink. I've prepared a place for you to stay in the mansion. We'll leave tomorrow morning."
"Hey, No!"
The two officials grabbed the treasurer and dragged him back.
Zhang Yumeng ate snacks, looked at the guy just now, and said.
"Who is this person? He's quite arrogant."
"Oh~~~That guy, the treasurer of Haichao County, should be the person Li Si brought. The person who can bring this person here must be his confidant."
"Treasurer? What's that for? Looking after the warehouse?"
Yang Gan laughed loudly, "You are half right, he is in charge of money and food, equivalent to the county finance director and treasury supervisor."
"Li Si is really smart. He keeps the person in charge of the money firmly in his palm."
Yang Qian finished a bottle of beer and said calmly.
"If Li Si doesn't even have this ability, then don't do this as a county guard. Although this person doesn't have the courage to become a king, he is a good hand in internal affairs. Look, Haichao County was poor before. It’s a jingle, what now? It’s financially ruined, so I don’t need to subsidize it anymore.”
"It is estimated that after this year, we will be able to turn losses into profits. Not only will we not need subsidies from me, but our annual tax revenue will also start to increase explosively."
