Chapter 183

It is difficult to find the master of the world, and it is even more difficult to find a like-minded person.

Under the protection of the guards around him, You Hongyin traveled all over the four states and counties, and finally chose Qingzhou as the starting point.

Qingzhou in modern times, that is, the Shandong Peninsula, is not as productive as Yangzhou and Jingzhou, its traffic is not as good as Xuzhou and Yuzhou, and its management is not as lax as Jiaozhou, Changzhou and Yizhou. However, considering all the conditions, Qingzhou is the most suitable for You Hongyin today.

Why?

Because the king of Qingzhou was not in the fiefdom, but took people to Luoyang to seize the throne, but he didn't come back.At present, the population of the Central Plains is mostly concentrated in the lower plains of the Shuanghe River. Those Jiaozhou, Changzhou, and Yizhou, although the sky is high and the emperor is far away, have no population, and it is useless to seize them.

In this day and age, population is everything.

Don't think that the aristocratic family never puts ordinary people in their eyes. It's like these untouchables are like livestock. They don't seem to be inferior to livestock. But in fact, the real strength is determined by the population, to be precise, the strong population.

Another reason why You Hongyin chose Qingzhou was that there were not too many powerful families in Qingzhou. On the contrary, although the governor of Qingzhou Shanjian was quite talented and famous, he had a gentle and elegant personality.

Shan Jian is the son of Shan Tao, the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove. He was deeply influenced by his father in terms of personality and style.

But doing a lot of officials does not mean that they are capable. If they are not born in a family and have a good reputation, a big official like the governor of the frontier would not be able to do it for a person with different duties like Shanjian.

The governor didn't care about his affairs, and the prefects and county magistrates below Qingzhou were also sloppy with their errands. If Qingzhou was not near the sea and far away from Luoyang, they might have been conscripted to fight the chaos.

But this does not mean that Qingzhou is a paradise, and You Hongyin of the paradise will not choose it.

Now, You Hongyin has an appointment with him, but he is the prefect of Gaomi County in exchange for a bottle of celadon water incense burner.

Don't underestimate this position. If it weren't for the fact that the current regime collapsed and Chen Kan was involved in it, You Hongyin had made a big name for himself at the Guangling Zhongzheng Conference earlier, and was rated as the best, and then he would give his name to Sima Ai, who is now in power in Luoyang. It is impossible to get the position of prefect if the incense burner with fish and dragons playing in water is moved in Luoyang.

Even though, this family member looked down on the position of prefect, because this Gaomi County is too remote and too poor.

Although it seems that the position is higher, in fact, everyone likes to go to a richer county because it is easy to govern.For people from aristocratic families, going to a local government is just a matter of gaining qualifications. After completing the qualifications, they must return to Luoyang and return to the political center.Therefore, it is impossible to go to such a remote place for the sake of being a prefect, and those places are reserved for poor families.

You Hongyin felt that this place was pretty good, suitable for him to develop with peace of mind.

What's more, Gaomi has something incomparable to other places, and that is Jiaozhou Bay.

Jiaozhou Bay is a natural seaport, which is one of the important means for You Hongyin to rapidly develop his power.

When he arrived in Gaomi City, he handed over to Gao Sheng's previous prefect, and sent away the guy who happily returned to Luoyang to take up his post. You Hongyin officially settled down in the government office.

Although Gaomi City is the center of a county, it is really a small city, and it attracts documents and inquiries. The food and taxes in this place are not paid every year, so naturally there is no money left to build the city, which makes the city dilapidated and low.

Although the area of ​​Gaomi County is acceptable, the number of cities and villages is relatively small, which gives a feeling of vastness and sparse population. Moreover, because the land in the county is not as fertile as other places, and the sea breeze blows through the seasons, the grain production to be slightly lower.However, Linjun has fertile land and is not affected by the sea breeze, so it is a land of grain production.

So Gaomi County is the poorest place in Qingzhou, not one of them.

Of course, how to manage Gaomi is a matter for the future. What You Hongyin needs to do now is to deal with the officials under him.

Fortunately, although Gaomi is a little poor, the prefect's mansion is considered tidy.

The prefect's mansion is divided into three halls, the main hall is the main hall, which is used for official business on weekdays.The second hall is a small hall with an elegant environment and can receive visitors.The back hall is not far from the back house, and usually deals with confidential matters.

After entering the prefect's mansion, Hu Gui, the leader of the guards beside You Hongyin, came to report back: "My lord, those slaves Yuan Xi have already been beaten, and the unusable ones have been cleared out. We have also taken over the defense of the prefect's mansion. Do not worry."

"Thank you for your hard work." You Hongyin said: "Then, let's send someone to look around first. If you meet a suitable person, you can also be included."

"Yes." Hu Gui replied and stepped back.

You Hongyin brought a lot of people with him this time, except for a few "disciples" who had been carefully cultivated in the past few years, there were also mass-produced guards. There were almost 30 of them.

Hu Gui is one of the disciples, and also one of the Xianbei slaves that You Hongyin once bought. Because of his natural talent in martial arts and intelligence, he temporarily became the leader of You Hongyin's guard.

That Yuan Xi was one of the only two women among the 30 people, and she was also the oldest among the [-] people, but she was rescued from the refugees by You Hongyin. She knows some calculations in internal affairs, but she didn't know why she ended up here, and was almost insulted by the refugees. After being rescued, You Hongyin originally didn't want to gather by her side, but she didn't want to find her relatives at all, and voluntarily gave up the past, named Yuan Xi was a slave and a maidservant by benefactor's side.

You Hongyin simply accepted her, and mainly strengthened her strengths, training her in the direction of internal affairs.

When the guards under his command acted as scouts to find out the news here, You Hongyin also knew a little about the officials here and the opinions of all parties. With some official documents archived in the prefect's mansion, he already knew it well.

Regardless of the county magistrates below, the chief bookkeeper, military commander, meritorious officer, school lieutenant, etc. in the government office here need to be sorted out.

But after getting in touch with them, You Hongyin realized how useful the name of the aristocratic family is in this kind of place. Originally, he planned to use a set of methods such as killing chickens and monkeys to subdue them.Unexpectedly, these officials and soldiers from poor families all wanted to grab the thighs of the aristocratic families.Previously serving as the prefect, he was either from a poor family, or a family member who ignored them, but he quickly became one-sidedly ready to serve the new prefect who hosted a banquet for them.

However, You Hongyin understands that there are good and bad people in this group, and the current respect is just based on his family status, and when something really happens, he won't really listen to himself.

You Hongyin didn't intend to beat him to death with a single stick, but it did take some time to discern which ones were worth accepting and which ones could be eliminated.

This is a hard work, so I won't mention it for now.

Although it is said that he got the position of Gaomi prefect, You Hongyin did not want to be a high-ranking official, but his own real strength is too weak to truly "cover the sky with one hand" in Gaomi County, so he asked his disciples One of them, Hu Wei, took some guards and went out to buy land.

Cough cough, he is the prefect now, if he wants to pick a piece of land as a stronghold, it is still no problem.The right to not use it will become invalid after the expiration date.

Hu Wei was the other of the two Hu people that You Hongyin bought, but although he and Hu Gui belonged to the Hu people, one belonged to the Xianbei tribe mixed with the Han nationality, and the other was a miscellaneous Hu of unknown origin. Hu Gui had the highest talent. Smart and loyal, You Hongyin valued him the most. Although Hu Wei was not as outstanding in martial arts as Hu Gui, he had a unique strategic vision, a bold and righteous man, and it was easier to mingle with soldiers, and he was more suitable for leading the army than Hu Gui.

What makes You Hongyin sigh is that, probably because of blood, the few disciples he cultivated are not as talented as Hu Gui and Hu Wei, but they are more talented and learned.

After buying a field, You Hongyin, who was not short of money, began to build his own Wubao and began to organize parts.

During the process of Hu Wei's formation of the trilogy, You Hongyin was not idle, he had already tidied up the entire government office, persuaded those who should be persuaded to quit, and those who should be subdued, the government orders were quickly issued.

But in the master book, You Hongyin found his first confidant.

This person's name is Fan Wuya, a native of Gaomi, he has been the chief bookkeeper here for ten years, he knows everything about Gaomi and even Qingzhou, and he is proficient in handling government affairs. On the other hand, he devoted himself to holding literary conferences and talking.

Of course, the most important thing is that this person has a pair of good eyes.

"Xiaguan Guanshi Junzhi is not in the prefect's mansion?" After You Hongyin went through the land purchase formalities, the master secretary directly found someone to chat with, and he said something surprising.

"Oh?" You Hongyin said, "I would like to hear from you in detail."

"Others think that it is extravagant for you to buy land and build a castle, and it is a sign of staying in Gaomi for a long time. But when the officials look at the Wubao, they think it is because you feel that the world is in chaos and you need to hold soldiers in your hands."

You Hongyin shook his head: "These are nothing more than your wishful thinking."

Fan Wuya said: "Those who hide will not know, and those who know can't hide. I just feel that the envoy's move is a bit inappropriate."

"Then Fan Tun thinks it's wrong for me to do this?" You Hongyin asked back.He understood that Fan Wuya had really seen his purpose from the beginning, so there was no need to hide his head and show his tail.

"Although the county military is within the scope of the eunuch's job, but the current situation in Gaomi, the prefect's mansion does not have the right to command the military, and all the soldiers still follow the orders of Captain Zhao. The move of the emperor to station troops now is undoubtedly a fight. Zhao Xiaowei's face, he is afraid that he will be a hindrance, and even choose to kill the grass." Fan Wuya said.

This means that if you recruit troops and buy horses yourself, you will show that you don't trust Captain Zhao. Isn't this forcing people to fight against you?

"What about Fan Tun's opinion?" You Hongyin began to find it interesting.

"There is a saying, please teach me." Fan Wuya said.

"What are you talking about?" You Hongyin said.

"The lower officials don't know whether the envoy is just for the sake of being wise and safe, or for other purposes."

"Apart from self-protection, is there any other purpose?" You Hongyin asked back.

But when their eyes meet, they immediately know each other well.

If it's just for self-protection, why bother to build Ubbat locally? Just find a random place and train a group of guards.
