Chapter 215: No integrity and no integrity

8days ago Historical fiction 7
Zhang Ning casually asked Wang Yu and Liang Yan to be the senator and asked them to go back and prepare for the signing room in two days.

They also don’t know what power the Senate is, which literally means to participate in the deliberations, which is probably equivalent to the position of a strategist?

At first glance, it was still a very suitable job, because County Magistrate Wang was obviously not good at fighting. He led one or two hundred people to defend the city, but only injured Zhang Ning and lost the city. The level is conceivable.

Two days later, the two arrived at the signing room. Seeing that Zhang Ning was very busy, they didn't pay much attention to them.

Later, Zhang Ning arranged something for them and sorted out a bunch of messy finger accounts into files.

Wang Yu didn't say anything, and immediately took Liang Yan to set up a table in the signing room to do things.

This pile of accounts is very troublesome and difficult. It is not only a problem of money and food. There are some generals who need to allocate materials and supplies, military pay and silver rewards, etc. The key is that many notes are not standardized and there is no seal certificate...

There is only one way to distinguish the authenticity. Refer to the signature name of the note and check the previous handwriting of the general.

Moreover, there are some things that are not in the treasury, so the county government officials need to be arranged to recruit civil servants and raise and produce them, and they need to describe in words what matters should be handled.

In short, it is quite cumbersome.

Fortunately, Liang Yan is a good at sorting out money and income and expenditure. Before Wang Yu became an official, he was the chief shopkeeper of several Wang's shops. He had a lot of experience and was very skilled in summarizing various accounting methods.

But some things are related to military affairs and are not easy to deal with.

Wang Yu wanted to ask Zhang Ning some tricky things, but seeing that Zhang Ning had no time to pay attention to him.

There were always people talking to Zhang Ning next to him. When there was no one, the young lady named Xu was also fiddling with him on the notes on the wall.

Seeing this, Wang Yu was tactful and was not easy to disturb him...

Because many difficult things are actually big things, and he has nothing important to do.

In Wang Yu's eyes, Zhang Ning had a characteristic that impressed him deeply.

Zhang Ning is not ordinary patience. He was plagued by all kinds of complicated and complicated things from the morning hours to the evening hours of You, but he could handle it calmly and always satisfy everyone who came to find him. He could also comfort some generals who came in and complained.

The rebel warlords who conquered cities and territories had such a moral character, which was beyond the expectations of Wang Yu and others.

Zhang Ning spoke very quickly, but he spoke clearly, his tone was low but reasonable, gentle and sharp.It seems like this person has never had any emotions.

By the end of the night, I finally survived a not-so-good day.

The generals and guards in the entrustment room stood up, raised their left arm, and strode hard, making a strange etiquette.

Wang Yu and Liang Yan were stunned for a moment and had to hold their fists and say goodbye.

Wang Yu and others dragged their tired bodies out of the county government and returned home and went to the mourning hall to scent.

He seemed not very satisfied with his new position. He had hope of being regarded as a strategist, but was called as an official.

In the Ming Dynasty, officials and officials were separated. Officials actually handled government affairs in detail; officials held the power to make decisions.

Obviously being an official is better, you don’t have to do so many trivial things and have power.

What Wang Yu is doing now is obviously what an official should do.

Wang Yu had some complaints, but Liang Yan advised: It seems that I think the situation is very good now.

Mr. Liang said that the Third Highness is leaving us by our side to do trivial matters, is it testing us?Wang Yu pondered.

Liang Yan said: The test may not be necessary. The third prince must believe that we cannot turn against the court.On the contrary, I think he really wants to reuse us.Today, the young master also saw that the third prince was plagued by earthly affairs and was responsible for everything himself. Why?There are no civil servants around him who can be used to make great contributions, only some military generals; now he is very short of manpower and is eager to seek talents... but the third prince is different from those of Zhou Gong and Cao Cao. The general affairs of seeking talents can be passed down as a good story.

Wang Yu touched his chin: Mr. Liang’s statement is indeed somewhat reasonable.In this way, it is actually better to be a person like His Highness.Men of Meng De were kind to others at the same time, but they were ruthless when they turned against each other; they were more real as the third prince.

In fact, the young master said this wonderfully.

Liang Yan smiled and then remembered that the Wang family's mourning hall was still in the yard, so he hurriedly stopped his smile. In addition to studying, we could learn to read and understand, we could really do what we could do, and the young master was an official and only served as a magistrate in Shimen County for a few years.The third prince did not allow you to continue to take charge of the local power. Perhaps it was to cultivate you to think it would be valued, because officials below Wang Dianshi could be competent in places like Shimen County.The third prince asked Wang Dianshi to take charge of Shimen County's government affairs. Does he really believe in Wang Dianshi?

Wang Yu showed contempt on his face: How can such a villain believe that he has the ability to intrigue and has no integrity?

Liang Yan said calmly: That's exactly what it is.The third prince can keep us at the center of issuing orders, and over time we will know their military aircraft. If he doesn't believe us, he will never make such arrangements.Besides, anyone around the lord is close to you and has the convenience of making suggestions, so he will definitely be an important official in the future.

The two discussed it and Wang Yu was in a better mood, but sighed: It’s just that some of those trivial matters are too difficult to deal with.

Liang Yan smiled and said: Since the third prince told us to do it clearly, we had to weigh it. If we did something wrong, it would be understandable and there was no need to be too careful.

……

The next day, Wang and Liang went to the county government office to sign the house as usual.

There are a lot of things, big and small.

An urgent report came at noon, and Wei Bin's men captured Lizhou.

The King of Huayang fled with his family and guards before. The Vermilion Bird Army occupied the royal palace and captured twenty or thirty young palace maids.

Zhang Ning ordered: Those who have not married their wives in the army will voluntarily choose according to the order of military merits, and reward the palace maids to soldiers as their wives to compensate for the silver reward of military merits; soldiers shall not disturb the people, and shall be punished for those who burn, kill, rob, or rape women.

The soldiers who stayed in Shimen County learned of the order and complained that they would not be allowed to participate in the war.

Because of rumors, the palace maid of King Huayang was a beautiful girl selected from Chengdu Prefecture and Huguang...

The soldiers who attacked Lizhou were so innocent that they didn't even spend their betrothal gifts, which really made the people who didn't get the score very envious.

In the afternoon, Chen Maocai, who went to Chenzhou to contact the Miao people, returned to Shimen County. In addition to the attendants who accompanied him, all the servants who were safe and sound, they also brought Miao people's envoys and followers. It was said that the envoy was a woman.

Zhang Ning ordered the envoy to be settled and treated to him first, and immediately summoned Chen Maocai to meet him in the signing room.

There is a room in the signing room, where Zhang Ning occasionally slept and rested, and also served as a reception room for important people in secret.

He, Lao Xu and Hou Mao, were waiting for Chen Maocai in the reception room, and Xu Wenjun was also present, and she was busy doing something about serving tea and water.

But when delivering tea, everyone would often thank her politely, and no one treated her as a maid. This girl was not only the granddaughter of Zhang Ning's confidant Lao Xu, but also inseparable from Zhang Ning.

Chen Maocai walked into the reception room with a calm and calm expression. He greeted people one by one. During the greetings, he and Hou Tanzhu also knew each other. Hou Tanzhu even joked: I heard from someone that Mr. Chen was on an envoy to Miaojiang to use a beautiful man trick. What did you really take down the daughter of the Miao people in power?

Others said that he was handsome and elegant, but Chen Maocai didn't mind. He touched his hair with his hands, and his movements were quite narcissistic, and he smiled and said: Hou Tanzhu was joking. Although the Miao envoy who came over was a woman, his original identity was just a maid.Her master is of some background, and she is the daughter of an old man who has proclaimed himself King Miao.

Hou Mao smiled and said: You are here with your personal maid, there is great potential for this.

Chen Maocai said: Unfortunately, the daughter of King Miao, Bai Fengjiao, has already recruited a son-in-law to get married.The old man had a daughter and a son. Bai Fengjiao was the eldest daughter. His younger brother was only twelve or thirteen years old and had a weak temperament. Therefore, Bai Fengjiao was highly valued by King Miao and was very powerful.After I got there, I figured out the joints and gave Bai Fengjiao a great gift to make friends.Fortunately, she didn't have much disgust towards the Han people than other Miao people, and was quite interested in the Han people's poems, songs, calligraphy and paintings, so I sent some calligraphy and paintings to talk about the elegant words with her...

Zhang Ning said: The old man’s sn in law should also be an important figure?

Chen Maocai disagreed and said: This person is a son-in-law who comes to the door, and I even forgot my name.In short, he has no status or power in the Bai family, so he doesn't need to spend too much time on him.However, the dragon insects born in Zhenxi are worth making friends. This person raised an army in Zhenxi and recommended the old man as the Miao king. He is also very crowded and is very capable among the Miao people. However, because of the tight schedule, I couldn't find an opportunity to contact him.

Zhang Ning nodded and said: Mr. Chen’s mission is fulfilled. It is already a task to build a bridge of communication between us and the Miao people.

Chen Maocai sighed: Your Highness has a brilliant idea, and it is not bad as expected. At present, it can only reach this level of relationship with the Miao people.According to my judgment, the Miao people did not value us, probably because they thought we were too small. Later, they found out that His Highness defeated the Yongding Guards and captured the two counties of Cili and Shimen, and their attitude changed a little, and it stopped there.As for alliances, they just sent someone to form an alliance, but I don't think it's practical; the Miao people's idea is that their situation in Chenzhou is in danger, and it's better to be able to rescue them than nothing, just want to use us.

We should be happy that we have value.

Zhang Ning smiled and said, we have nothing to do with the Miao people, and we can speak the same thing because we are both people who have raised an army and rebelled against the court.They want to take advantage of our obvious purpose, but cooperation will be reliable; if some people who are not familiar with us have no idea of ​​their destination and do not know what they want to do, that is a bit dangerous.

Everyone agreed, thinking that's the reason.

Zhang Ning said again: Treat the Miao girl who is an envoy with courtesy and should not be despised just because she is humble.Although this person is a maid, he is a person close to the important person Bai Fengjiao. If he is not careful, it may lead to the deterioration of the relationship with the Miao people in power.
