Chapter 393 Chapter 393: Ten Crow Hengtuo (3) [Please double the monthly ticket]
Although the messenger [Zixu] gave Shen Tang buffer time, it was limited, and there were too many things that needed to be dealt with.
This news was not deliberately concealed. In less than two days, it spread throughout Heyin, and the people looked sad.
In the two years since Shen Tang took over Heyin, they have lived a peaceful and prosperous life, and the gloom of the past seems far away.
But this does not mean that they have forgotten. They just hid those unbearable memories in the deepest place, and occasionally they would bring them out and chew them. It was nothing more than lamenting that they were lucky enough to meet a good county guard. , and finally the joy came to an end...
But, these good days are too short!
It’s too short! Many elderly people even ran to the door of the government office to cry and almost fainted!
The younger ones would inevitably curse the royal court and the messenger who made this decision behind their backs.
But no matter how much you criticize, the fact is a foregone conclusion.
The officials in the government offices were extremely anxious.
It wasn't until the third day that Shen Tang held a meeting.
It’s just that the content of the meeting is different from what they thought.
"You must have heard about what happened in the past few days, but as long as I don't step down as the governor of Heyin County, I will be the governor of Heyin County. I hope you will stay with me during this period. Everyone should keep their posts and perform their duties, don't be careless."
A group of officials looked at each other in private.
They have been tossing and turning these days.
Very worried.
What are you worried about?
Worried about whether to go with Shen Tang.
It stands to reason that Lord Shen treated them and Heyin well. If not for Lord Shen’s aggressive approach, Heyin would still be a desolate and barren land, a breeding ground for gangsters, and they would never even think about it. With today's beautiful and happy days...
It was the right thing for them to follow Shen Jun and leave.
But——
They are all natives of Heyin. Their ancestors have lived here for generations. They have parents, wives and children at home. Even their ancestral property and ancestral graves are here. How can they just leave?
Even if you can walk, can your family members endure the long journey?
Even if they could bear it, Longwu County was always in danger of being robbed by Shiwuma bandits. How could they bear to see their relatives who had been stable for only two years in danger? They were torn between loyalty and filial piety, and were tormented in their hearts. They were worried that Jun Shen would ask them if they wanted to follow them, and they were also worried that Jun Shen would leave without a backbone.
The hall was so quiet that you could clearly hear a pin drop, but what Shen Tang said next was completely different from what they thought. The current focus of work is still on the upcoming autumn harvest, packing up belongings, counting people and horses, and arranging for the aftermath.
Shen Tang is serious about dealing with the aftermath.
The first thing is to withdraw various "articles".
When Shen Tang was still in Heyin, she could strictly control the situation. The people's willingness to exchange "tickets" for purchases was also endorsed by the credibility of the government office and Shen Tang. It's not that Shen Tang doesn't distrust Xu Jie, who is about to take over, and she also believes that he is not a random person, but just because Xu Jie is trustworthy does not mean that everyone around Xu Jie can be trustworthy.
In order to avoid any hidden dangers, she would notify the people in advance and let the people who had "tickets" in their hands come to the official office to redeem the corresponding physical items.
As for the "notes" in the hands of merchants who do business outside, they are recorded in the account books. Just ask Xu Jie to help cash them back.
The Fugu Department Store can be left to Xu Jie to continue operating. This model is quite useful for He Yin at present.
Common people are also accustomed to this way of shopping.
Other matters, such as the maintenance of reservoirs and rivers, the arrangements of the government officials, the acres of land in Heyin... Shen Tang kept detailed written records of everything. Other businesses that can be cashed in, sell them in the shortest possible time to cash in food and grass.
The morning meeting lasted for an hour.
The staff members, who looked a little haggard, spoke one by one.
Finally, it's nearing the end.
There was an official who couldn't sit still.
He said, "Jun Shen——"
His eyes were about to speak but he stopped.
Shen Tang guessed what he was thinking at a glance and said with a smile: "I also have regulations here regarding you gentlemen."
All the officials cheered up and raised their ears.
Nervous and nervous, swallowing involuntarily.
But Shen Tang said: "I recommend the new Heyin County Governor to the envoy. This person is quite familiar with you. He is Xu Jie, the head of the Xu family in Tianhai. With his temperament and writing, he will be able to work harmoniously with you. . He Yin, I will leave it to you."
All the officials were dumbfounded.
Shen, what Jun Shen means...
Are you planning to take none of them away? ? ?
“Shen Jun!”
Shen Tang didn’t wait for them to say anything.
He sighed with emotion: "He Yin has been stumbling in the past two years. Every step has been heavy and slow. The pain in it is not known to outsiders. You all have watched it with your own eyes, and it has gradually transformed into the prosperity it is today. Looks like... In this world, it is not easy for common people to have a place to settle down. . You know He Yin, and I think that as long as you focus on serving the people, you will be able to live in peace. I hope you can protect it with Wen Zhu in the future. In the coming year, you may have the opportunity to share the cup..."
< br>As for whether to take away these officials, Shen Tang has carefully discussed with Qi Shan and others in the past few days.
The conclusion is not to take it away.
First of all, He Yin needs them.
Secondly, the situation in Longwu County is unknown, and it will be of little use if they go there. Shen Tang's current manpower is enough.
Thirdly, leaving home voluntarily and being forced to leave home are always two different things, and Shen Tang didn't bother to force him.
Let’s get together and part ways.
There were already officials in the hall bursting into tears.
The situation was special. Shen Tang didn't bother to hide anything anymore and directly recruited troops on the spot. The noise was so loud that it alarmed the neighbors next door.
When they heard what happened, they were speechless and choked. Apart from lamenting that Shen Tang was unlucky and Zheng Qiao was too stubborn, he showed no sign of caution and even generously provided a sum of food and grass.
Among them, Tianhai Wu Xian was the most generous.
At first, Shen Tang had to go to that shabby place in Longwu County. If he didn't bring more soldiers and horses, he would just give them away. They were worried that Shen Tang wouldn't be able to recruit enough soldiers and horses.
Secondly, Shen Tang will no longer be a threat if he leaves He Yin.
It’s too ugly to have a small belly at this time.
The fate of Heyin County has also become their focus.
It’s just——
Wu Xian spit out a mouthful of tea: “Who are you talking about?”
Who did his brother Shen recommend?
"...Yes, Wenzhu."
"Brother Shen recommended Wenzhu..." Wu Xian stopped on the spot and didn't react for a while, "He, Brother Shen..."< br>
At this moment, Wu Xian had only one thought -
Brother Shen loves him really deeply!
Even Wu Xian did not dare to say that if he was transferred to another place, Tianhai County would be handed over to the "Tang Di acquaintance" whom he had met several times. This was the family fortune that he had worked hard for two years.
Two years and seven to eight hundred days and nights of hard work!
He understands the current situation of Heyin very well. It can barely be regarded as a prosperous and peaceful place, so he will give it away... Shen Tang will not recommend his staff to be the governor of Heyin County?
Whether Wang Ting will agree or not will not be said yet, but this move...
Besides "true love", Wu Xian can't think of a second word.
Close relatives may not be able to achieve this level of generosity and selflessness. They must be secretive about their own children and be suspicious of each other. And what's the difference between Shen Tang recommending Xu Jie under his account and giving He Yin to Wu Xian?
Before, he was more wary than trusting.
At this moment, all doubts collapsed.
"...Where are the annotations?" Wu Xian hurriedly asked Xu Jie's whereabouts. Xu Jie runs away all year round, and it is normal to see no one.
The person who sent the message: "...I have received the news and rushed to Heyin, saying that Mr. Shen has something to explain to him..."
Wu Xian pursed his lips, and all the staff members were quiet. Even Qin Li, Qishan’s biggest fan, fell silent.
He began to believe——
Shen Jun inspired the "evil plot" to pray for good with his actions.
"Alas...I am not as good as Brother Shen..."
Wu Xian sighed with red eyes.
Although it somewhat ruined the atmosphere, Qin Li still wanted to ask: "How does the lord plan to arrange General Zhao?"
Wu Xian: "..."
This is really a problem.
Ordinarily, in two years, Zhao Feng fulfilled his original promise without any discounts - to help Shen Tang gain a foothold in Heyin, which can be regarded as repaying others' life-saving grace.
But at this juncture, no matter how thick-skinned Wu Xian was, he couldn't bring himself to recall Zhao Feng. People are willing to give away He Yin, who has worked so hard, but his villain's heart is like a gentleman's heart...
It cannot be explained by "adding insult to injury".
With Zhao Feng’s temper, he would not agree to come back.
Wu Xian’s brain was buzzing and hurting again.
"...Let Dayi decide this matter himself."
He chose to kick the ball back, and finally added: "Gongsu took my order and transferred ten thousand stones of food and grass to Heyin. This can be regarded as my elder brother's practice for Brother Shen. I hope Brother Shen will go to Longwu and really be able to float dragons into the sea." , Yunqi Longxiang..."
"Wei."
Shen Tang has accumulated a lot of wealth in the past two years.
The slogan for recruiting troops is just two words.
【Full control! 】
In a chaotic world, these two words are more deadly than gold. Many young knights from neighboring counties also rushed over after hearing the news. They recruited 5,000 people in just half a month——
This is still When thresholds are set.
If there is no threshold, you can have 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.
During this period, Shen Tang also did something small.
Secretly ordering people to hide their identities and go to distant chaotic areas to search for capable girls and young girls.
Last year, due to the chaos caused by the refugees and poor harvests in various places, countless people were forced to leave their homes and many died of cold and starvation along the way.
Human life is as cheap as grass.
In less than a month, nearly a thousand people were recruited.
These people naturally have to be handed over to Bai Su. Bai Su had already started preparing to form a women's team before, but there was very little movement. They were all sneaking in. There were only a hundred people in total. If you go to Longwu County, you must also put it on your agenda.
Shen Tang has been so busy these days that he is hitting the back of his head.
It wasn't until Xu Jie arrived at He Yin that he breathed a sigh of relief.
"The annotation is back."
After not sleeping for several days, there was not much blood on Shen Tang's face, his lips were as pale as his face, and there was a faint greenish black under his eyes, Xu It’s hard to find a correct solution She just nodded and replied: "Yes, I'm back."
"Was it a hard journey?"
Xu Jie said: "It's not hard to say, everything went well."
"Oh, as long as it goes well..."
Xu Jie sat down at Shen Tang's signal.
Shen Tang asked: "Wen Zhu must have received the letter, right?"
Xu Jie: "I received it."
"Do you have any thoughts on this matter?"
Xu Jie said: "It's too unfair to Mr. Shen."
Shen Tang smiled casually: "I don't think so much about whether it's fair or unfair. Longwu County really needs a reliable person in charge, and the king will let me After the peace transfer, I think I recognized my achievements in the past two years. If I can protect Longwu County, deter Shiwu Xiaoxiao from invading Longwu again, and save innocent people from being massacred, I will do it wherever I am. Same..."
Xu Jie was greatly shocked when he heard this. After a while he choked up and said: "Jun Shen's character... I am so ashamed!"
"It's about He Yin... ...I dumped the burden of He Yin on you without asking for your opinion. It's not me...but I can't think of a second person that I can fully trust..." Shen Tang rambled as if he were talking about everyday things.
Xu Jie lowered his head: "Xie, I am afraid that I will betray Lord Shen's trust."
Shen Tang said sincerely: "It's not that I haven't thought about the other people in Brother Zhaode's account, it's just... firstly, I don't have much contact with them, and I don't know their character, so I'm not at ease if they are entrusted rashly; secondly, other people Most of them come from powerful noble families, have high family status, and naturally have complicated relationships. They are born to stand on the side of How can one possess the power to observe the people at the bottom? They may not be able to treat the people of Heyin wholeheartedly. I am also afraid that they will become victims of the struggle for power. On the other hand, the Xu family of Tianhai has relatively simple family relations and has been in business for generations, and has many dealings with the people. He is always on the road, and he must be more interested in what the common people are asking for. Able to empathize..."
Xu Jie didn't say anything for a long time. It wasn't until the heat of the tea on the table dissipated and turned from hot to lukewarm that his eyes turned slightly red. It was rare for him to be sentimental: "Xu started his career as a merchant. , has always been criticized by people. Today, Mr. Shen does not despise Xu's family background, and is willing to entrust him with full trust. , Jie is willing to swear with Wen Xin that he will do his best to protect He Yin as long as he lives, and he will not let down Lord Shen..."
Shen Tang also said emotionally: "Okay, okay, like this, I will be in Longwu County someday. I can rest assured!”
After a heart-to-heart talk, the relationship has improved a lot.
Shen Tang led Xu Jie to a place.
He Yin organized all the trivial matters in detail. She told them which officials could be used, which ones could be transferred, and which ones could be replaced. At this moment, Xu Jie truly understood what kind of He Yin Shen Tang had left behind.
A wealthy person...
Every household has two years of surplus food...
The household registration has tripled or quadrupled in two years...
Heyin County !
If this situation continues, in at least one year, he will become a powerful presence that cannot be ignored among the four families, giving even Tianhai a headache. There is still a shortage of troops, but they have accumulated enough information...
Even if it is not convenient to attack the other three families, they can still expand outwards... Of course, it is not ruled out that the neighbors feel threatened and stabbed in the back. But no matter how you say it, such a good situation was given up like this. How generous and generous this is.
Shen Tang is still talking about this year’s autumn harvest.
“Judging from the condition of the fields, this year should be a good harvest. I plan to collect the field tax and take away part of it. The remainder will ensure the normal operation of the government office. Wen Zhu does not need to worry about this...”
Xu Jie sighed secretly.
"Everything can be decided by Mr. Shen."
Shen Tang smiled lightly: "That won't work. You are the future governor of Heyin County, and your permission must be obtained. Otherwise, it will be suspected of overstepping my authority and treating you badly. Controlling He Yin is harmful and unprofitable. You can’t be so casual in the future...it’s easy to be underestimated.”
Xu Jie remained silent.
There is a long-lost illusion of being cared for by elders.
The Shen Jun in front of him was much smaller than him.
The two talked for a long time, and what they talked more about was He Yin's future development and arrangements. Shen Tang and a group of staff had clearly arranged every step that He Yin would take in the next ten years. Xu Jie only had to copy it. Do your homework and get high marks.
He listened carefully.
It was not until the servants came in to hold the lamp that it became dark.
By the faint candlelight, Xu Jie looked at the free and easy young man who was shrouded in shadow and was beginning to take on the shape of an adult. An undercurrent surged in his heart, and he had all kinds of emotions: "The journey to Longwu is long, and a strong and brave warrior is indispensable. Guard——"
"If Mr. Shen doesn't give up, I would like to recommend someone."
