Royal Road

Chapter 201: Like hemp

Jinyang Assassin's Mansion was originally the temporary residence of Sima Teng. Therefore, the government office is far more gorgeous and luxurious than the general government office. The area is more than twice the size of the Shangdang government office. It has pavilions, terraces and pavilions, and even the office hall is magnificently built.

Liang Feng did not visit the mansion first, but opened the main hall and was promoted to summon the officials in the mansion. It must be known that when new officials take office, it is always inevitable to wash the dust and catch the wind. It is too hard to be promoted without a banquet. However, at this moment, unintentional people in the governor's house dared to chew their tongues. The people gathered outside the mansion haven't dispersed yet, and they can still hear the sound of the mountain whirring far away. Who would be so stupid as to be an early rafter with such a disagreement?

Sitting down in the main hall, Liang Feng said: "This time Jinyang was besieged and all the monarchs defended the city. Everyone had merit. After I checked the merits, Cao Bo, please direct the court!"

Contrary to what everyone imagined, Liang Feng first praised the officials present when he came up. The combination after this one made many people feel relieved.

Liang Feng didn't stop, and continued: "The court sent me here just to stabilize a state. Bingzhou has suffered years of disasters, and even the families of the family can't settle down here. Every family who wants to come has branches to move out of Bingzhou. However, people are like trees, without roots. After all, the state is the foundation. If it is uncertain, the monarchs will also feel restless. Therefore, I hope that the monarchs will work together to help me restore the peace of the state."

These words made the local officials who were wary and even contemptuous before nodding their heads. A family of a family, a family for many generations. Regardless of the ranks and ranks of the officials, they still have to settle down in one place and thrive. If it loses the foundation of several generations of management, no matter how big a family is, it will have no roots. How can we keep our previous wealth status? Therefore, no one hopes that Bingzhou will restore stability more than these gentry officials.

However, not everyone is inclined to the court, and there are many people who have the mind to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Not to mention foreign officials who are not from the state. For them, it is much more important to protect their lives to ensure the stability of a state.

Liang Feng's conversation turned: "But the ugly talk is ahead. In such a difficult season, not everyone can resist. If someone is incompetent, I will also be removed from office and replaced by someone who is useful. Be cautious!"

He is the governor, one of the most important functions is to recommend talents to the court. If he is not well evaluated, it will also have a major impact on the promotion and appointment of officials. Not to mention, Liang Feng, as a governor, even if he is a bicycle governor without the right to lead soldiers, is still an emperor's envoy. As long as you are willing, it is not too much to get rid of or even kill those who do not abide by the rules and disobey government orders. Faced with such a power to say one thing, even the strongest scholars have to weigh three points.

The comfort that should be soothing, the beating that should be beaten. After Liang Feng said this, he turned to Zhang Sima and said, "I wonder if Zhang Sima can arrange the Dudu Mansion?"

Zhang Sima's expression became even more ugly as soon as he said this. When Sima Teng was there, the Cishi Mansion and the General Mansion were co-administered offices. After all, he was the leader of the governor and the governor, so there was no need to separate the two teams. And now, Liang Feng said this to drive them out of the governor's office in the future.

However, this is not wrong. Could it be possible to let the new governor Dove occupy the magpie's nest and work in the governor's mansion? Arranging a new house is also regarded as a kind of respect.

"The lower official is going to leave the official residence near the arsenal as the governor's mansion." Zhang Sima whispered.

"Yeah." Liang Feng nodded nonchalantly, "Since this is the case, I also ask Zhang Sima to clarify the warehouse and weapons as soon as possible in preparation for the handover."

Handover? To whom? I'm afraid it's not for the new governor? Faced with Liang Feng's firm decentralization and intent to check the accounts, Zhang Sima had no choice but to obediently say yes. And with his early rooster, the other monkeys naturally understood the current situation. This governor is so strong that it will inevitably have friction with the governor in the future, and standing in line has become a necessary choice for them and state officials.

Is it the trust of the imperial court, but the future governor who does not know the foundation? Or choose this governor who holds military merits and is strong in his hands and wins the hearts of the people?

With all their minds in mind, the officials withdrew from the lobby. Liang Feng never stayed in the front yard for a long time, and directly took people to the back yard for resettlement. A team of soldiers took over the security of the back house, and the maids and servants also placed the daily necessities they brought in each room. It's just that Liang Feng's belongings are not enough for this too extravagant Governor's Mansion. The vacant rooms are simply countless.

For such a deserted pattern, Liang Feng didn't care much, but first recruited Duan Qin to come to the study.

"Lord, I am afraid that many people are unwilling to enter the mansion this time." Duan Qin has been following Liang Feng, and of course he carefully observed the expressions of those Jinyang officials. The three new officials are not fake, but in places like the state capital, aristocratic families always have a lot of control. The governor often wrestles with local wealthy families. If not, most of them will be controlled by others and become puppets.

But fortunately, the time of Bingzhou chaos was too long. Those high gates followed Sima Teng’s buttocks and escaped most of the time. In addition, Liang Feng led the private soldiers into the mansion, and even put out the power in advance, making people dare not dare. Minor offense. As for the future situation, it depends on his methods.

Liang Feng said indifferently: "It’s better to be vigilant than to be contemptuous. Binzhou can’t stand the chaos anymore, so we have to settle the affairs of the governor as soon as possible. Tomorrow you will let the meritorious officer send the officials to appraise the performance, and I will take a look. What kind of virtuous is there in this governor's mansion. There is also a matter of expropriation, and it must be implemented as soon as possible. The golden horse bone must first have horse bone!"

The shortage of manpower is still the biggest problem facing Liang Feng. It turns out that this is the case for governing a county, not to mention governing a state at this time. Therefore, the selection of officials in the governor's office is also a top priority. The most important of these is no one else to drive and rule. In the Jin Dynasty, there is a requirement to not drive. You must be a master of gentry and talented people, otherwise you can't convince the crowd. And don’t be named Zuoguan, in fact, it is equivalent to the deputy governor of later generations, and he is the second-in-command of the state capital. For such an important position, neither a mediocre person can be chosen, nor a scholar who is dedicated to planning for the family. It is really a big problem.

So when Liang Feng came up, he had to appraise his performance. This is not only the basis for repaying merits to the court, but also one of his methods for selecting qualified talents. The significance of conquest is even more important. If you can be a good candidate, you can also effectively avoid the existing officialdom and break the situation in a different way.

Duan Qin nodded: "This subordinate knows that. Besides, there are many soldiers stationed in Jinyang City. How many generals should the lord recruit come to meet?"

Now that the new governor has not arrived, it is the best time for Liang Feng to take advantage of the vacancy. No matter who leads the army, these middle-level generals must be used. Therefore, it is also a way to buy people's hearts in advance. The power struggle between the governor and the governor does not necessarily stop at the political level of surging undercurrents. If you don't say anything far, just look at the history and performances appointed by the former Youzhou Governor Wang Jun and Chengdu Wang. In the end, they failed to assassinate and were killed by Wang Jun. At the end of the dynasty, when the ritual and music collapsed, it really didn't necessarily happen.

This is also the reason why Liang Feng insists on bringing private soldiers into Jinyang. It is better to have soldiers in hand than to be pinched. Just look at his two thousand parts, the new governor will have to weigh it. And seeing his military capacity, those generals who wait and see will also have a trade-off. After all, it is them who are really on the battlefield. The three armies are exhausted by incompetence, and no one wants to be an officer who knows nothing about soldiers. Otherwise, in the chaotic war situation like Bingzhou, you don't know how to die.

"I will post tomorrow, please ask General Linghu to go over the mansion." Liang Feng said.

This General Linghu was not talking about Linghu's situation, but his uncle Linghusheng. Not only a brave general, but also a tycoon, Linghusheng's position in the army is also extremely important. Linghu Kuang is now considered Liang Feng's subordinates, and this indirect relationship becomes more important.

"The lower official understands." Duan Qin nodded.

When I first arrived, things were so cluttered that I could understand where it was so easy. The two discussed the same thing, but before the talk was over, the next person came to report: "The envoy of Qi, the Huai'en Temple is here to see you."

Liang Feng picked his eyebrows: "Come fast enough."

Before the people greeted each other on the road, it was actually the result of Duan Qin going to Huai'en Temple to preside over the spread of the news. The more the war comes, the stronger the religious beliefs of people. There are many Hu people in Binzhou, and Buddhism is more prosperous than other prefectures and counties. Coupled with Liang Feng, the Buddha who contributed to the flames, the Huai'en Temple is now also incense.

If you trust someone to do things, naturally you have to plan to repay. But I didn't expect Huai'en Temple to move so fast, he had already visited the house before he was sitting in the hot spot.

Duan Qin also didn't expect the other party to be so active, and said in a low voice, "Can you ask an official to meet him?"

On the first day when the governor took office, he did not see any dignitaries. Instead, he saw a monk first. The political significance should not be underestimated. If someone used it to make a fuss, it would be somewhat inappropriate.

However, Liang Feng thought for a moment and said: "The presiding officer is not a rash person. Since the envoy is here, there must be important things."

The old monk of Huai'en Temple, Liang Feng has had a lot of dealings, and he is really mature. With his wisdom, he would never act rashly for the sake of mere immediate benefits. Since he dared to come on the first day of his succession, there must be something important.

Hearing what Liang Feng said, Duan Qin didn't say anything anymore. It didn't take much effort, and footsteps came from outside the door. Under the leadership of the servants, the two monks stepped into the study.

The first one is the disciple who presided over the Huai'en Temple, who has also dealt with Liang Feng a lot, and is very familiar with it. And behind him, there was a monk with a high nose and deep eyes.
