Wu Mingjin made up his mind and called Master Qian. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"More than that, you have arranged for this official to leave in two days and go to the Zhaoqing Governor's Mansion to report on his work."

Qian has more than the word Baoshan, when the two guests and hosts get along, Wu Mingjin calls his character, and now he is like a stranger, so he calls him by his name.

Qian Youyu doesn't mind Wu Mingjin calling his name directly, who will let him bear him first? However, there were some things that he had to say clearly to Wu Mingjin.

"What is the so-called matter of the county honor, you and I know it in our hearts. I wonder how the county will answer when he arrives in front of the governor? ”

Wu Mingjin was slightly confused: "How to answer?" Eat the king's lu, bear the king's worries. I eat the court's food, so I naturally want to relieve the court's worries. This move is to remove a scourge for the imperial court, and I should help it as a whole...... "He knew that Qian Youyu was a nail arranged by Xia Nan, and he didn't hide it when he spoke, if Xia Nan was angry because of his words, it would be a big deal to repay Jun's grace with death."

"May I ask the county honor, what Xia Nan has done in the past few years, has he poisoned the people?"

Wu Mingjin hesitated for a moment and replied, "That's not true. "Although Nan built a lot of construction in the summer, he also built new houses for the people, and if it was said that it poisoned the people, it would be a conscience.

"Did you brutalize officials and plot rebellion?"

Wu Mingjin was slightly embarrassed: "No." ”

He, the county magistrate, as well as the lord Bo and the canonical history, are still alive and well, where to start with the murder of officials? Although the city wall has been demolished, the county government is still intact, and the whole set of institutions is intact, and it seems that there is no rebellion.

"Have you ever paid the summer tax and autumn grain on time?"

Wu Mingjin's eyes were a little dazed, this was what he didn't understand the most: "The summer tax and autumn grain were paid on time, although it was not in full, it was far more than in previous years......"

"Neither poisoned the people, nor plotted rebellion, but also assisted the county government in collecting taxes, how can it be said to be a disaster? He set up factories and workshops, paid well, and fed many people; The construction of new roads, the construction of new cities, the convenience of travel, and the relocation of people to new homes are all good deeds for the benefit of the township! ”

"This ......" Wu Mingjin felt that he was reasoning, but he couldn't refute it.

"If his greatest sin is nothing more than four words-disobedience to the king." Qian Youyu made a summary.

Wu Mingjin thought about it, Xia Nan acted unscrupulously: training troops, casting cannons, making guns, and containing the leaders of the Li Rebellion, which can be called the four words "disobedience to the king", but he really never had the intention of rebelling, and the official army was also a passive response, and after defeating the Fucheng army, he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and captured Lingao, Chengmai and other county towns - although he had this strength at all.

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Wu Mingjin felt that he must have the most important thing to say yet.

"County Zun Mingjian: Although Nan acted arrogantly this summer, he saved the lives of the county government and the adults, and also helped the county government collect grain taxes, what does this mean? It shows that he has left himself room - room to wait for the government to appease him. ”

"Fund?" As if he saw a glimmer of light in the darkness, an inexplicable expectation rose in Wu Mingjin's heart.

"Yes, appeasement. As long as Xia Nan is fu, whether it is an official and a half-position, or a military general, it can be regarded as a submission to the imperial court. Lingao County has never fallen, and the county respects you and pays the money and grain taxes in time, if you can take some pirates' heads from Xia Nan's hands and offer them, the evaluation of a 'excellence' will definitely be a steady hand! ”

Wu Mingjin suddenly felt in his heart that his mouth suddenly opened, as if he saw the sun through the clouds.

Although the situation seems to be very bad at the moment, once Xia Nan is appeased, all bad things can become good: Xia Nan encroaches on the gentry's fields, but can pay the grain tax; With his private soldiers, there are no bandits in Lingao; If you wantonly annex the pirate forces, you will have a head to repay the merit. A county order that can pay grain taxes in a timely manner, put an end to banditry, and clean up the ocean, and it is a sure thing to be promoted to a higher position in the evaluation and evaluation.

Thinking of this, Wu Mingjin's heart beat a lot faster: "In your opinion, Xia thief...... How can I be willing to caress Nan in the summer? ”

The students believe that Xia Nanxin is arrogant and will never be willing to be a petty official like a sesame mung bean. If the two armies are touched before they arrive, according to the usual practice, at most they will be inspected and so on. Therefore, he must have a fight with the army, with the power of a great victory, and in order to appease him, the court has to appoint a general to guerrilla or something. ”

"What if he loses?"

Qian Youyu shook his head: "That's a bad thing, under the anger, who knows what he can do, it's hard to say if the county government burns a jade." ”

Wu Mingjin weighed it, since the victory on Lingao's side was good for him, and the defeat might lead to the funeral of the county government, so he had to consider his position carefully. Jun En wants to repay him, but the premise is to save his life and the black gauze hat on his head.

He hesitated, "That'...... I'll just call myself sick and don't go to Guangdong to report on work? ”

I can't get enough money, "this...... You might as well wait for the student to communicate with that Xia Nan and see what he says, so as not to misunderstand. ”

"This ...... It's good for you to ask......"

After Qian Youyu left, Wu Mingjin was a little ashamed, didn't he go along with the Xia thief? However, when I thought that Xia Nan would take care of his bright future, I couldn't care so much.

In the South Park, Xia Nan met with Master Qian who had not been seen for a long time. After reading the official document copied in advance and listening to the whole process of the other party's persuasion of Wu Mingjin, he was quite happy and praised: "It is not easy to say that the county master is really talented, Master Qian really has the talent of Zhang Yi and Su Qin." ”

Qian Youyu said modestly: "Master Xia praised it falsely. ”

"As for the debriefing......" said Xia Nan, weighing all the stakes, "he still has to go, lest the governor be suspicious." Since the official documents say that I am only entrenched in Bofu and have not violated the county seat, then Lord Wu will say it according to this routine. ”

Qian Youyu became more and more sure of his inference, and Xia Nan paved the way for his future. The nature of the rebellion in the county town is completely different from that of ordinary pirates, no matter who is the governor, the difficulty and resistance of appeasing the latter are much smaller.

"Then the county only needs to confirm that the county seat has not fallen?"

"Exactly, as for whether to train and build ships, to be honest, you know as much as you want. However, I must keep in mind that I will be weak in my land warfare, and show that I am weak, so that I will underestimate the enemy. ”

Qian Youyu arched his hand and said: "I know how to do it." Then go back and report to the county. ”

Xia Nan smiled: "Master is a person who understands, and he must know my plans." When the time is done, would you be interested in coming over and helping me? ”

Qian Youyu was overjoyed: "Master Xia does not dislike being a shallow learner, and is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses." ”
