Chapter 28 Open Recruitment

What the three of them said was that they needed to be done immediately.

So Xu Ding said: "Okay, the three of you will start to do it immediately, now the drama is my county and county, you take care of the affairs of government affairs first, take filial piety as the main book, help Zhicai well, and filial piety is the first merit." ”

Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, and Mao Jue were busy coming out to receive their orders.

The position of the three of them is the biggest official in the county's civil affairs.

Then Xu Ding said to Manzhong and Tibetan precepts: "Boning, you are proficient in the law and upright, so you can be the post overseer; Zang prescribes you to the county prison, take over the county government's prison, check the prisoners in the prison, and see if there are any wronged people. ”

Full of favor and Tibetan ring are also happy to receive their lives.

Next, Xu Ding looked at the military generals, thought for a while, and said: "When Zhicai and they find out the money and grain in the treasury, I want to build the three army captains first, of which Li Qian is in charge of the first army captain, Wen Ze is the deputy commander of the second army, and Xuan Gao is the deputy captain."

The Third Army Man became the deputy lieutenant. ”

Yu Ban and Tibetan tyrants were overjoyed, and Li Dian was also very happy.

However, everyone found that the lieutenant of the Third Army seemed to be missing a regular position.

Xu Ding said with a smile: "You must be very curious, why I didn't appoint the commander of the Third Army, because of this captain, I am ready to openly recruit and select talents from Donglai." ”

Xi Zhicai praised: "The lord's method is clever, so it can not only win the hearts of the soldiers in Donglai, but also appease all walks of life in Donglai, so as to show that the lord is broad-minded and fair." ”

Only then did everyone understand Xu Ding's intentions and praised one after another.

However, Xu Ding smiled silently, although he had this intention, but not only that, this Zhengdu Lieutenant was ready to give Donglai a local general.

Next, there are Zao Yi, Lu Qian, Sun Guan, Wu Dun, and Dian Wei who have not been arranged.

Xu Dingdao: "As for the five of you to spend a while, I have other arrangements, Zinong and Zike will help Zhicai and them deal with government affairs first, and the three of Fuhu will follow me for the time being, responsible for the selection and formation of the government guard." ”

"It's the lord!"

The five replied in unison, and none of them objected.

Arrange everyone and place them all in important positions, and the next thing is to slowly roll out the work.

"My lord has something to tell you, after we separated, I was ambushed by a group of bandits on the way here!" Guo Jia stood up and told the attack that happened on the Qingxu border, and everyone looked at Xu Ding.

Xu Ding was stunned for a moment, and was attacked.

Immediately, Xu Ding's face darkened, and he asked in a cold voice, "Who did it?" “

When he asked this, Xu Ding's hands were clenched into fists, and a murderous intent emanated from his body.

Everyone looked at each other, and they all stood up and pleaded guilty: "Lord, I am incompetent, and I can't find out who did it?" The only person who knew the employer was killed by the tiger. “

Can't find out!

It seems that the other party is doing a very stealthy job.

Xu Ding got up and helped everyone up one by one and said: "Get up, you have worked hard, I didn't expect your trip to be so dangerous, I shouldn't be separated from you, it should be that I am incompetent, and I am in danger of losing you." ”

Thinking about it, Xu Ding couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, if he really let the person who designed the ambush succeed, his losses would be immeasurable.

"Lord, don't do this!"

"Okay, let's not mention this matter, we will investigate slowly in the future, no matter who it is, I will definitely not let him go, and those who dare to touch me must be ready to die." A hint of murderous intent flashed in Xu Ding's eyes, and a vague figure appeared in his mind.

…………

It took two days for Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, and Mao Jue to finally figure out the government affairs of Donglai, and the three of them came over to report together.

"The situation of the lord Donglai is not very good, the whole Donglai is surrounded by the sea on three sides, the land in the county is mountainous and hilly, the road is not easy to walk, although the population is large, but there are many bandits, and the folk customs seem to be a little strong." Xi Zhicai took the things he found in the past few days one by one, and went to the map of Donglai.

Xu Ding took a look, and his eyebrows were furrowed.

I have to say that the geographical structure of Donglai is very fucked.

Most of the mountainous prefecture is not fertile, and only the northern part of the area near the sea is flat and fertile.

From the map, the map of Donglai is a deep V-shaped mouth facing west.

The north and south are blocked by the mountains inserted by the North Sea Kingdom.

Therefore, the distance between north and south on the map is not far, but if you really want to walk, you must first go around to the east and turn south, and the road is long.

"In this way, the whole of Donglai County is divided into three parts, the north, the east and the south, and each of them is quite far apart, and it is difficult to support it in the event of a civil unrest or other situation." Xu Ding finally knew why the old guy Yuan had replaced his Liaodong Taishou with Donglai Taishou.

This is not to make him feel better, the people are strong, bandits are rampant, the road is difficult to walk, and it is difficult to solve problems.

Xi Zhicai said: "Lord Mingjian, in this way, the captain of the three armies of Donglai, must be stationed in the north, east, and south, and the number of each army should be no less than 3,000 people, so as to protect himself." ”

Hehe, not only did the troops be divided, but they could barely protect themselves.

Therefore, there are not enough lieutenants of the three armies, and the captains of the five armies must be made up enough to really deal with it.

According to the regulations, a county can only get five governors, and border counties are not subject to this example.

"If I'm not mistaken, the treasury probably doesn't have much money and food." Xu Ding looked at Mao Jue, since Yuan Yi got him to Donglai County, he would definitely start from the most basic and important aspect of money and food.

Sure enough, Mao Jue nodded and replied: "The lord guessed correctly, just before we arrived, the former Taishou Yijing allocated all the money and grain to be handed over to the court this year, and just a few days ago, a large amount of money and grain were spent on road repairs, which consumed the last bit of money and grain. ”

It is enough, all the money and food are used up, and ten days later, the officials of the whole county just happen to pay money, and if they can't be distributed, naturally someone will make trouble, and then those who have a heart will further fan the flames, and the officials of the whole county will rebel.

"Good! Very good! Xu Ding gritted his teeth and said, then took a deep breath, and then calmed down and said:

"Bonghyo, where are you?"

Guo Jia replied: "The Lord has posted the notice for a few days, and the counties and cities below have also been notified, presumably soon the entire Donglai will know that the prince is coming, and he should be able to raise some money and food by then." ”

Guo Jia said that the fundraising is naturally when the family is recruited to receive the banquet, so that everyone can say that this is an unspoken rule, an atmosphere that has existed since ancient times.

"Hmmm! Let's hope so. Xu Ding is not optimistic about these powerful landlords, and he didn't expect to rely on them, otherwise he will be restricted in the future.

"Is the matter of the lord's recruitment of sergeants to be postponed?" Mao Jue asked.

Now I don't have money and food in my hands, let alone recruiting troops to make up the numbers, even the expenses are not enough.

"Delayed? Why postpone? Recruit troops and recruit generals tomorrow, at least give me enough captains of the three armies first, if there are no soldiers, there is no power, how can I manage the entire county, how can I suppress those guys below who eat people and don't spit out bones. Xu Ding shook his head and rejected Mao Jue's proposal, as long as the people from Xujiazhai came, he would naturally have money and food.

Xi Zhicai said: "Then lord, what to do with the original soldiers?" ”

Xi Zhicai refers to the soldiers and horses under the former Taishou, and the generals such as the Captain were appointed by the previous Taishou, as long as they were not sent down by the imperial court, they could be kicked out directly, and they had no complaints.

After all, is it a son of heaven and a courtier?

But the soldiers recruited below can mutini and make trouble if they are not properly arranged, and if they want to be dismissed, they must be paid some severance pay.

If you don't dismiss it, you have to keep it, but the problem is that now that there is no money and food in the county, it is bound to mutiny, which is also extremely tricky.
