Chapter 434 A wasted sixteen-year-old boy
Amei, this girl has a very strange habit.
Ever since Feng Yong gave her the status of a concubine, coupled with reading and literacy, as well as the various knowledge Feng Yong taught her, she has become more and more confident in front of others.
Even in front of Li Mu, who was born in a noble family, she still dared to raise objections if she felt it was unreasonable.
But this is only limited to others.
She always had a natural sense of inferiority in front of Feng Yong. As long as Feng Yong frowned, she would shrink back.
It is estimated that Feng Yong put too much pressure on her - as soon as she learned a certain knowledge, before she could take a breath, the master would immediately throw out another more advanced knowledge, so that she had to work hard to learn it again.
There seems to be endless knowledge waiting for her to learn.
The learning ability that one is proud of in front of others is not worth mentioning in front of the master's knowledge.
Anyway, the master always scolded her for being too stupid.
At this moment, she looked guilty again, as if she was sorry to her master for not tasting the water of Yaquan when she was a child.
But Feng Yong just couldn't see her look like this and waved his hand, "Okay, you can go down first."
Zhang Biao was somewhat pleased when he heard from Goufuna that Feng Yong agreed to consider his suggestions.
Unexpectedly, Feng Tubiao delayed for several days without giving him an answer, which made Zhang Biao start to feel a little nervous.
When the prime minister sent someone from the south to deliver the official document to Feng Yong, Zhang Biao became a little flustered.
I thought that this son was young and successful, and that he was willing to bend down to treat him as a dignified county magistrate. He should have already surrendered to him. In addition, he was promised so many benefits, couldn't he still be moved?
Half of the county's cultivated land is at his disposal. Not to mention ordinary people, even Zhang Biao himself, who was born in a Shu family, would be heartbroken if someone gave him such a huge benefit, let alone someone who was only eighteen years old. Feng Yong?
However, there are no eggs!
The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
Who knew Erjiulang Jun was as stable as a dog?
Eighteen-year-old Feng Langjun had been thinking about this for many days. When the news came that the Prime Minister had captured Meng Huo six times, Zhang Biao finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
Even a fool can see now that the prime minister is simply playing Meng Huo—to put it nicely, to convince the barbarians, and to put it worst, to trick the barbarians into submission.
The barbarians in the entire Yizhou County and the northern part of Yongchang County have been turned around over and over again. Countless barbarian commanders hugged the prime minister's thigh and called him "Sir."
No, it’s called lord, lord!
Because those barbarians called the Prime Minister Zhuge Grandpa...
How long can Meng Huo survive at this rate?
At that time, the prime minister defeated Meng Huo and looked back, eh? Yong Kai has been dead for so long, why are there still barbarians in Tanglang County of Zhuti County? Where do you want to put your face?
Will the Prime Minister notice Tanglang County?
Definitely.
Because Yong Kai was entrenched here at the beginning.
Why was Gong Lu harmed by the barbarians? Didn't the Yi people take a fancy to his eagerness to calm down the chaos, and then thought of ways to make him fall into the trap?
Why should we rush to put down the rebellion? Isn’t it because putting down the rebellion in Nanzhong is the biggest concern for the Han Dynasty now?
Not only the emperor of Han Dynasty is watching, the prime minister is watching, but the whole Han Dynasty is also watching.
Losing face at this time is equivalent to losing one’s official career.
Of course, making a statement is not all about getting a career in the officialdom.
While he wanted to have an official career, he also wanted to do something practical for the people.
After all, the overall atmosphere of the Han Dynasty's officialdom is still vigorous and upward.
So he wanted to trick Feng Yong not just for himself—but also for the people of Zhuti County and Tanglang County.
Feng Yong would not dare to swallow up half of the county's farmland by himself, at least not in name, otherwise he would be hung up and beaten by the Han Prime Minister.
Therefore, the cultivated land in this half of the county must be eaten by the people in the Xinghan Hui behind him. Feng Yong is planning to take the second-generation officials of the Xinghanhui and the second-generation Quan to colonize Nanzhong. This matter will follow Lu Dou The story spread widely.
With the second generation of dignitaries from the Xing Hanhui blocking the west side, the remaining half of the county's cultivated land could be given to the people without worrying about being harassed by the barbarians who did not accept the king's rule.
Of course, if I can get some benefits from it, I will definitely not refuse it.
Unexpectedly, he didn't even want to lose face, so Feng Yong was still so unhappy. It was really annoying, but when he thought about the huge network of connections behind Feng Yong, he had to take action.
It is okay to bully Feng Yong because he is young and ignorant, and trick him secretly, but if he really dares to use force... maybe he will be the one who gets turned around.
The lessons learned by former Changshui captain Liao Li are still vivid in my mind!
Nowadays, when mentioning the phrase "Qi Lian Feng Lang Jun", anyone will smile knowingly: Then Liao Li is really blind...
Then a sense of superiority arises spontaneously.
Moreover, Zhang Biao is now just a county magistrate with a salary of 600 shi, while Liao Li, the captain of Changshui at that time, was worth 2,000 shi.
At this moment, a man came from Zhuti County and wanted to visit Feng Langjun and Li Langjun.
When Zhang Biao looked at it, he immediately had a reason to see Feng Yong.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yong frowned when he saw the person Zhang Biao brought over, "It's you? What are you doing here?"
The visitor's face turned red and he stepped forward in shame, "Xu Xun has met Feng Langjun. I am here to deliver a letter to Li Langjun on your orders."
“Oh,” Feng Yong nodded coldly, turned around and ordered his servants, “Go and invite Li Langjun over.”
When Zhang Biao saw Feng Yong's expression, his heart skipped a beat. Looking at Feng Langjun's appearance, he didn't seem to like Xu Langjun very much.
On the way here, Xu Xun told himself that Li Langjun had entrusted his lord with the matter, and now he personally sent him to deliver the letter. Li Langjun and Feng Langjun are as close as brothers, but looking at Feng Langjun's appearance, how can he look like he is entrusting others to do things?
Did this person named Xu trick me?
Zhang Biao was thinking wildly when he heard Feng Yong say again, "Please sit down, both of you."
“Thank you Feng Langjun.”
Xu Xun quickly saluted again, not daring to be presumptuous at all.
When Zhang Biao looked at it, his heart trembled again, and at the same time he felt a little contemptuous.
This Xu Xun, after all, your master is also a visitor to the palace, and he is an old minister who follows the late emperor. Can you look like a noble son?
“Zhang Juncheng, what kind of advice do you have when you come here this time?”
Feng Yong turned to Zhang Biao again and asked with a smile.
Zhang Biao, who had just sat down, listened to Feng Yong's question. He quickly restrained his thoughts and replied, "I don't dare. I am just crazy because I have grown older. If I really want to talk about it, I am not as good as Feng Langjun. How dare you?" You want to give me advice?"
Xu Xun, who was originally on pins and needles, also felt a little contemptuous when he heard Zhang Biao say such words.
. Do you know this is flattery? Is it a shame?
“Zhang Juncheng won the prize.”
Feng Yong said very humbly, "But I don't know what the purpose of Zhang Juncheng's visit is."
“Ahem, Feng Langjun, these days, the barbarians in Tanglang County are not very peaceful anymore. It’s really annoying! I wonder how Feng Langjun thinks about borrowing people?”
With Xu Xun present, it was difficult for Zhang Biao to be too obvious, but when it came to borrowing someone's hand, both of them understood.
Zhang Biao made a sound and forced a smile, "Feng Langjun is too worried! Yue Jun's haute couture has been settled by the Prime Minister, so why worry?"
Feng Yong felt very unhappy after hearing this.
I have made it so obvious, you still want to deceive me? Do you really think I'm a three-year-old?
At the moment, he sneered, "Zhang Juncheng doesn't know something. The Yue Junyi people have been in chaos for a long time. Without Gao Ding, who knows if there will be a Zhang Ding or something like that?"
When Zhang Biao heard this, he felt as sick as if he had eaten a fly.
What is Zhang Ding? My surname is Zhang. Did this **** do it on purpose?
But he finally understood that this country bumpkin was planning to raise the price.
"Feng Langjun, after the prime minister pacified Nanzhong, the people will have to be resettled. There will have to be some land for resettlement, right?"
Zhang Biao endured it again and again, and said in a low voice.
Xu Xun, who was sitting next to him, perked up when he heard this. What kind of deal are these two people trying to make?
His mind was about to get excited when he saw Feng Yong glance over intentionally or unintentionally, and he suddenly became excited.
Remembering being kicked out of the house by his own lord, he first took the Nanyi Road to Pingyi, and then ran from Pingyi to Wei County. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at Wei County, he realized that the Wuchi Road had been opened.
What is even more depressing is that when I rushed to Wei County, I found out that Feng Yong had left Wei County and went north to Zhuti.
Then he eagerly left Wei County and followed him - if he had known better, it would be better to take the five-foot road directly to Wei County through Zhu Ti! This way you can meet them directly.
Xu Xun almost vomited blood when he thought that he had gone around in such a long circle in vain.
How can this shabby place like Nanzhong compare with the prosperous place like Jincheng? I have suffered a lot along the way.
But when he thought of what the adults had said to him, Xu Xun couldn't help but feel frightened and deeply regretted his blabbering.
Now seeing Feng Yong glance at him, Xu Xun was shocked and quickly lowered his eyelids as if he hadn't heard anything.
“Of course the people need to be resettled.”
Feng Yong nodded and sighed, "It's hard to be the county magistrate of Tanglang County! It seems that we really need a capable person to be the magistrate of Tanglang County. Zhang Juncheng, don't you think so?"
Zhang Biao was shocked when he heard this. This **** has such a big appetite and actually wants to completely control Tanglang County!
He gritted his teeth, but he could only nod in agreement, "Yes, the candidate for county magistrate does need to be carefully considered."
“Zhangjun Cheng has been in charge of Zhuti for a long time and is well aware of the situation in Zhutijun. Can you recommend any good candidates?”
Feng Yong asked.
Although Zhang Biao was named the county magistrate, he actually had the power of the prefect and had a certain say in the appointment of officials in his county.
Tanglang County is not an upper county. It is not even a middle county. It can only be regarded as a lower county among lower counties. Even if Feng Yong himself chooses someone to be the county magistrate, he still has a certain amount of room for maneuver.
With the resources he has at hand, it will be easy for any county in Nanzhong to develop faster than other counties.
As long as the candidate he recommends for county magistrate is qualified, Old Demon Zhuge is happy to turn a blind eye.
Feng Yong was confident that he still had some face in front of Old Demon Zhuge.
The key is that the chief official of the county should not cause trouble for others.
Otherwise, everything he does will be in the way. How can Feng Yong go out to improve political performance for others after he is full?
“Well, if I had a suitable candidate, why would I cause chaos among the barbarians in Tanglang County?”
Zhang Biao felt a little bitter in his heart and said insincerely.
"Oh, Zhang Juncheng, why didn't you tell me earlier? I do have a suitable candidate."
Feng Yong said with surprise.
“Oh, Mr. Feng, why don’t you come and listen?”
Zhang Biao scolded a certain country bumpkin for being so hypocritical, but he had to put on a smile.
"Huang Chong, the county captain of Nanxiang County, has made great contributions in governing Nanxiang for a long time. He is a talented man. Being a county captain is really a waste of time. I would like to recommend him to be the county magistrate here. What does Zhang Juncheng think?"
Feng Yong asked with a smile.
Zhang Biao was originally from Shu County, so he was not unfamiliar with Huang Chong, who was also from a local family. He did the math in his mind and was surprised to find that Huang Chong seemed to be only sixteen, right?
Why is it such a waste to become a county captain in a county like Nanxiang at the age of sixteen?
Thinking of this, Zhang Biao couldn't help but glance at Xu Xun, thinking that if Huang Chongzhen was wasted, wouldn't Xu Xun be a waste?
And how long has Huang Chongcai been a county captain?
Xu Xun was furious when he saw Zhang Biao's meaningful eyes!
Does it seem like anyone can step on me now?
But after thinking about it, he could only grit his teeth secretly - Zhang Biao is also a county magistrate after all, and he can't compare to him!
Zhang Biao over there sighed. No matter what Feng Mingwen's reputation was outside, he was indeed very kind to the people around him.
Although Tang Lang is from a lower county, if he is transferred from county lieutenant to county magistrate, it must be considered a promotion.
"This, if Huang Langjun can be appointed to this position, I will have no objection."
“Okay, as long as Zhang Juncheng says so.”
Feng Yong touched his palm and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Chief Zhang. If Huang Langjun comes to govern Tanglang County, there will be no more rebellion by the barbarians."
“This is the best.”
Zhang Biao forced a smile.
Xu Xun next to him was so shocked when he listened to the conversation between the two that he even turned a little pale.
The position of the head of a county in Dahan was just decided by two people in a few words?
In the past, when I was in Jincheng, talking about poetry and poetry with friends, or talking about my ambitions impassionedly, and receiving the admiring eyes of the young lady next to me, I felt extremely happy.
Now that I see this situation in front of me, and think about it before, I feel that I am really shallow.
“Why did the elder brother ask the younger brother to come here?”
At this time, someone only heard a voice at the door. Li Yi stepped in and saw Zhang Biao sitting there, "So it's Zhang Juncheng who's here?"
“It’s not that I want to see Mr. Li Langjun, I just want to send someone here.”
Having finished his conversation with Feng Yong, Zhang Biao stood up and said goodbye with his hands raised, "Please don't forget what I just said, Mr. Feng."
“Don’t worry, I’ll never forget it. I’m planning to go to Tanglang County for a visit these two days.”
Feng Yong smiled.
“That’s good, that’s good!”
Zhang Biao got the guarantee, said goodbye to Li Yi and Xu Xun, and went out.
Li Yi and Xu Xun met. Xu Xun took out a letter from his arms and said, "Li Langjun, your Excellency specially asked Xun to bring this here. He said that the matter he asked about last year has finally been settled."
“What do you want to ask about?”
Li Yi was puzzled and reached out to take the letter, "What did I entrust Xu Ye to do?"
"I don't know, Xun. Your Excellency only said that there are detailed explanations in it. Li Langjun will understand after reading it."
There is another chapter in the evening.
