Chapter 58: Refusal and Welcome

"It's easy to conquer Mingzhou, but it's difficult to defend and govern Mingzhou, can Mr. Junan teach me?"
The guests all said goodbye and retired, and Lin Jian invited Ye Junan and Huaidong to drink tea and talk in the side hall.
This is the back garden arranged for Lin Tie to live, Lin Tie during the Shengzhou War, Song Jia lived in first, and personally instructed the two Zuo sisters and the Jiang clan to come out to serve tea.
Ye Jun was very courteous, knowing that the woman who Lin Jian was always by his side to serve, even if she had no identity or name, she was also a favorite concubine who could not be ignored by Lin Lian's side. Of course, Ye Junan also knew that Lin Lian's reputation for lust was not good, and such a woman could come to eastern Zhejiang with him, maybe not only because of her beauty.
"A certain person has little knowledge, but he really doesn't dare to be arrogant in front of adults!" Ye Junan sat down with the teacup in fear, refusing to talk about political affairs.
Lin Jian could see that Ye Junan's sincerity was pretended, stood up and walked to Ye Junan's case, saluted, and said: "I am rude, I am disrespectful to Mr. Junan, but my pure heart is not reduced, I implore Mr. Junan to teach me!" β
Song Jia knelt under her hips with her legs, holding a pot to serve tea to herself, although she didn't show up just now, but hiding in the dark behind the screen to see the performance of many people at the banquet in her eyes, watching Lin Jian walk to Ye Junan's case to teach the disciple to ask for political affairs, and laughed secretly in her heart: Just now in the front garden behaved so well, this time it is pushing back and stopping, but most of the scholars who have some talents are this kind of virtue.
Fu Qinghe stroked his long beard under his chin and squinted at everything in front of him.
Ye Jun'an is good at protecting himself, but in the troubled times when the city is changing the Great King Banner, the person who is good at protecting himself is not a shortcoming worthy of dirt, on the contrary, it is also a manifestation of the wisdom of the world.
Ye Junan was thirty years old in the imperial examination, but for more than ten years he has been hidden in the mountains and forests has never been an official, to lecture as a profession, naturally not opportunistic, he has a high status in the minds of the Siming School and the scholars of eastern Zhejiang, so Lin Tie attaches great importance to his eagerness.
After Fu Qingzu went south, Qin Chengzu returned to Chongzhou to preside over affairs.
In addition to the more than 60,000 soldiers and horses of the Shuibu Army headed by Fu Qinghe and others who came south to eastern Zhejiang, Hu Zhiyong, Li Shutang and others also led dozens of officials to come to eastern Zhejiang with ships to take charge of the procurement, transfer and transportation of money, grain, ordnance, and take over local affairs.
There is no shortage of officials in Huaidong, and more than 100 officials are transferred to Mingzhou, which can barely be done, but governing Mingzhou will not be so simple. But if you want to say how complicated, it doesn't have to be complicated.
It is much better to suppress a group of people, win over and appoint a group of people who are willing to be used by Huaidong, and divide the local forces in Mingzhou than to draw all the officials from Chongzhou to fill in and let the local forces in Mingzhou be together. It is also necessary to avoid promoting and appointing Mingzhou officials to win over Jiangning as much as possible.
Eastern Zhejiang has been lost to luxury families for many years, separated from the southeastern counties, and most of the local characters in eastern Zhejiang are sensitive and fragile, and their minds are difficult to decide, whether it is Jiangning or Huaidong, it is difficult to gain their trust wholeheartedly. If this situation does not change, it will be difficult to realize the idea of "governing Mingzhou with Mingzhou, dividing Mingzhou with Mingzhou, and consolidating Mingzhou with Mingzhou" envisioned by Lin Bin.
Lin Jian needs a person with a leadership position and prestige in Mingzhou Mansion who can be used by Huaidong and trusted by Huaidong, and then drive a group of people to be used by Huaidong with peace of mind.
Lin Jian returned to the city today, and the people who had prestige and status in Mingzhou Mansion and did not hook up with the luxury family were all invited to participate in the dust washing banquet, almost more than 30 people, and Ye Junan was not very prominent in it. But other people's minds are uncertain, and they have the intention of watching from the other side, and Ye Junan supports Huaidong at the banquet with a clear banner, which is really rare.
Maybe Ye Junan's performance today is that the local government in Mingzhou is negotiating behind his back to test Huaidong, but in any case, Huaidong can't pay attention to Ye Junan, and can't reuse Ye Junan, so how can the local forces in Mingzhou feel at ease?
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" Seeing Lin Jian walking to the front of the case and bowing, Ye Junan hurriedly knelt down and sat up, showing that he didn't dare to accept the salute, and said, "Since the adults want to hear a certain humble opinion, a certain person will be bold and ugly......"
"Sir, please!" Lin Jian asked people to move his long case to Ye Junan's case, and sat with him to listen to him talk about the governance of Mingzhou.
"Since the invasion of the luxury family, the governance of Mingzhou officials has collapsed, although the luxury flying bear uses Tian Chang to govern Mingzhou, but the officials are not learned and unskilled, and the scholars who have discipline in Mingzhou are not in the same stream, and the adults want to govern Mingzhou, they should choose people with high moral standing from the scholars, educate the people's livelihood, and Mingzhou can ......be governed," Ye Junan said.
Ye Junan's remarks are really general, there is nothing novel, and it is also contrary to Huaidong's plan to govern Mingzhou, Lin Jian verbally said yes, but he was disappointed in his heart, thinking that as long as Ye Junan was erected as a model, he didn't care how much real talent he had.
After a perfunctory chat for a while, Ye Junan said goodbye and left, Fu Qinghe also saw that Lin Jian was tired and tired, and he was not busy discussing military affairs tonight, so he and Hu Zhiyong, Li Shutang and others also said goodbye and left.
"Ye Junan, an old fox, has some goods in his belly, but he refuses to sell them, and he is really annoying!" Song Jia covered her red lips with her hands and yawned, and stretched her waist in front of Lin Jian in a charming manner.
"Are you saying that Ye Junan's discussion just now is a prevarication?" Lin Jian asked.
"It's not a shirk, it's a temptation," Song Jia said, "It is said that he can learn the art of governing the people and sell it to the emperor's family - Ye Junan has refused to join the government for more than ten years, that is, he is conceited and talented, and he refuses to sell to the emperor's family." And before the banquet, this old horseman was coy, wanted to welcome and refuse, both intended to show off, and waited until you humbly asked for advice, but nonsense, not so much that he was talentless, it was better to say that he was showy! β
Lin Lian laughed and said, "This little old man is testing my patience to look at the thatched house!" β
"It's not like you've never seen such a character," Song Jiayan smiled and said, "Qin Zitan is a character who is conceited, didn't Gao Zongting refuse to enter the government from beginning to end?" β
"Then you will accompany me to Siming Mountain tomorrow!" Lin Jian said.
"You just ignore him, old man," Song Jia said with a smile, "just leave him aside and see how long he can stay tall - let him lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot!" β
Lin Lian smiled and said, "It's easy to be as willful as youβsince he wants me to look at the thatched house, I don't have any patience, so what else is there to talk about?" Even if it's for others to see, Siming Mountain, I have to go two more times. β
"Then you should rest early!" Song Jia got up and was about to leave.
Lin Jian sighed: "How can I have time to rest? You can show me all the Tang Copy, the letter and newspaper in the Northland......"
"It's not in the way to rest for a day," Song Jiafu sat down again, got closer to Lin Tie, and said softly, "Look at you, you've lost a lot of weight." Beautiful eyes looked at Lin Lian's thin cheeks.
"Tie Ge Zhengma, which one is not thin?" Lin Jian said with a smile and insisted on studying the situation in the Northland overnight.
Song Jia asked the Zuo sisters to move the information, she knelt up straight, knelt behind Lin Lian, put her hand on his shoulder, and said, "I think you are also tired, I will pinch your shoulder!" β
Lin Jian grabbed her tender hand and said, "If you kill the Luxury Flying Tiger when you attack Dongyang, will you hate me and resent me?" β
Song Jia was stunned, and Or's body was next to Lin Tie's broad shoulders like a silk wrap, hugged him from behind, and said in his ear: "Maybe I will hate you, I will hate you, I may hate myself, I will hate myself!" β
Lin Jian turned sideways to hold Song Jia into his arms, but Song Jia hugged him from behind and tightened, and said, "Let me hold you like this, okay?" β
"You and I are Megumi Yanagishita!" Lin Lian laughed angrily.
"The three Nizi are charming, whatever you want, I don't care about you!" Song Jia said.
"Alas, forget it!" Lin Jian smiled bitterly, "It's better to save your strength and climb Siming Mountain tomorrow!" β
Song Jia "giggled", but no longer provoked Lin Lian, and seriously pinched his shoulder.
Lin Jian had only slept for two hours until the early hours of the morning, so he greeted Fu Qinghe, and took the escort out of the city to the southwest, visiting Ye Junan at Siming Academy.
Compared with the city, the Huai'an army has controlled the outside of Mingzhou for more than half a month, and the outside of the city is much safer than the city, but even so, Fu Qinghe specially asked Chen Kuian to lead a thousand people to block the mountain road of Siming Academy, so as to prevent anyone from hearing the news that it is not good for Lin Bin.
At this time, it is a critical time for Huaidong, and there is really no accident at all.
**********
The local forces in Mingzhou are also nervous.
The luxury family is trapped in eastern Zhejiang, and those who resist hard-headed will not escape the cleaning of the luxury family. After the restoration of Mingzhou, people like Tian who went to the dark with the luxury family naturally could not escape the cleansing of Huaidong and the imperial court. There are also some people, opportunistic people, who fell in eastern Zhejiang, so they went to the governor's mansion of eastern Zhejiang to seek an official and a half-job, and naturally they also belonged to the target of the crackdown.
But there are also quite a few people who choose to be subservient, silent and wise, but also maintain a certain relationship with luxury families.
These people are not only afraid that Huaidong and the imperial court will implicate them in suppression, but also have the intention of seeking a background, and they are also worried that the luxury family will counterattack and come back, so that everything will be self-defeating - their minds are really contradictory and panicked.
The people's hearts were panicked and uneasy, and they did not dare to gather to discuss matters, which aroused Huaidong's suspicion; Under the strict surveillance and isolation of Huaidong, it was difficult to contact Liu Zhi, Meng Xinshi and others trapped in the post house - the Siming Society's lecture mountain courtyard in the mountains became a place for some people to gather openly and deliberately.
"Mr. Jun'an, Huaidong has been attacking eastern Zhejiang since the 23rd of last month, but the envoys of Jiangning have not arrived until yesterday, is there a twist and turn between Huaidong and Jiangning that outsiders do not know?" A young man wearing a Confucian shirt and a scholar's scarf wrapped in his hand hugged his fists and asked Ye Junan, who was sitting by the window and looking out of the window from time to time.
Mingzhou has been lost for many years, isolated from the southeastern counties, and the vast majority of people don't know what the situation is outside of eastern Zhejiang? The luxury family even deliberately scandalized and downplayed Huaidong, and many people of insight in Mingzhou had a vague impression of Huaidong. This is also beneficial, many of the things that Lin Jian has done in the past two years that have caused countless controversies seem normal and ordinary in the eyes of the people of Mingzhou.
At this time, a scholar came in and said, "Sir, a group of soldiers came outside the mountain gate and sent a letter to see Mr.!" β
