I’m The King Chapter 388: :It is an opportunity and a test
After taking a nap in the afternoon, Gao Yuan came out of the backyard in good spirits, thinking that Ye Jing'er was still paralyzed on the bed later, he couldn't help but secretly proud.
Although it is Chinese New Year, except for those who stay on duty, everyone in Zhengdong Mansion basically rests, but Gao Yuan cannot enjoy this holiday as well as his subordinates. Wu Kai, in the afternoon, another important person from Zhengdong Mansion was welcomed, that is Zheng Jun, magistrate of Chima County.
Speaking of Zheng Jun, one has to mention the embarrassing position of this person in Zhengdong Mansion. He is not a comrade in arms like Sun Xiaobing who started in poverty with Gao Yuan and died together, nor is he like Wu Kai who gave great support to Gao Yuan when he was in his infancy and gained Gao Yuan's trust and reward.
Just like Wu Kai, he is the county magistrate of a remote border county, but unlike Wu Kai, a county magistrate who sells dog meat, he is a serious bureaucrat, such a person , Naturally, he has some retribution, but it is a pity that under the political environment in western Liaoning, he has nowhere to use him. He was suppressed in Chimabian County, and his official position could not be guaranteed at any time. However, this county magistrate still fulfilled his duties and managed Chima County in an orderly manner. Except for the invasion of the Donghu people, he had no way to resist and could only clean up the mess afterwards. His political achievements in Chima County can be said to be very impressive.
Gao Yuan's rapid rise led Chima and Fufeng to be sent to Gao Yuan by Zhang Shouyue and became a unified Fuchi defense area. He suddenly became Gao Yuan's subordinate and changed his boss. For Zheng Junlai Said, it's nothing serious, for him, it's just a change of soup but not medicine, what he has to do is still the same mess, Gao Yuan didn't think differently of him, and reporting to him was just a routine That's all, judging from the composition of Gao Yuan's core lineage. Zheng Jun knew that it was impossible for him to get into the eyes of this young guy.
However, after being included in this defense area, Zheng Jun and the Chima County under his control still gained one benefit, that is, the Donghu people no longer rob. Because of the Donghu small tribe outside this defense zone. Basically swept away by Gao Yuan.
On this matter, Zheng Jun took a high look at this guy who hadn't even grown up yet (Zheng Jun called Gao Yuan in his heart). The Donghu people's looting of Fufeng, Chima and other places has a long history, and now it is thanks to this guy. Chima people can finally live a comfortable life for a few days.
Without external harassment and destruction, Zheng Jun, a simple bureaucrat, is at his fingertips. Under his governance, although Chima is not as strong as Fufeng, people's livelihood is getting better day by day. The county magistrate is also Won the support of the local people. You know, Fufeng is so powerful. It's not because Wu Kai is so good, but because Zhengdong's mansion is in Fufeng, Gaoyuan's foundation is in Fufeng, and there is no comparison between Chima and Fufeng.
Although Gao Yuan didn't show much interest in Zheng Jun. However, this professional bureaucrat still showed his professionalism. However, Zheng Jun did not compromise on the implementation of the policies promoted by Gao Yuan. After joining Sihai Commerce and Trade, those wealthy gentry in Chima had doubts, but under Zheng Jun's Under the vigorous encouragement, almost all the rich merchants from Chima joined in. In fact, Zheng Jun knew very well that with the support of Gao Yuan, Sihai Trading is definitely a big crocodile. It is a profitable business, the more people join, the more tax he can collect in Chima.
What really made Zheng Jun's heart fluctuate like still water was what happened after the new chief shi, Jiang Jiaquan, took office. This highly trusted guy occupied the high position of Chief History of Zhengdong Mansion as soon as he came, and this long history set his sights on Zheng Jun not long after he took office. In just a few months, Zheng Jun was recruited several times.
Zheng Jun could feel how much this Chang Shi valued him.
Zheng Jun also has arrogance. This kind of arrogance is rooted in the heart of a scholar. I thought to myself that my ability is several grades higher than that of Wu Kai who can only sell wine, but I can't enter the core of Zhengdong Mansion like him, so I am naturally quite aggrieved.
Now that he is favored by the governor of Zhengdong Mansion, perhaps his career will usher in a turning point.
After thinking about it, Zheng Jun finally came to pay New Year's greetings to Gao Yuan. No matter what, Gao Yuan is now General Zhengdong and his immediate boss.
Serving tea, exchanging greetings, after some politeness, both the host and the guest quieted down, Zheng Jun had nothing to say, this was the first time he was alone with Gao Yuan, and he didn't know what the boss liked, was it true There is nothing to say, but Gao Yuan is quietly looking at this character.
To be honest, Zheng Jun really didn't enter his heart before. The magistrate of Chima County seemed to have a sense of alienation from himself, and Gao Yuan couldn't treat him as unreservedly as he did to Wu Kai. Only when he found himself did he really pay attention to the county magistrate who had been neglected by him for a long time.
Under his gaze, Zheng Jun didn't show much uneasiness, he was still sitting there calmly, but his expression was a little awkward.
Recalling Jiang Jiaquan's evaluation of this person, Gao Yuan nodded secretly. This person is really a good and qualified official. He tried his best to dig the corners of Fufeng's walls, and his ability was not bad.
"Wu Kai County magistrate Wu is no longer the county magistrate of Fufeng!" Gao Yuan said suddenly.
Zheng Jun didn't expect that Gao Yuan's first sentence would be like this, but he was stunned for a while, and then said: "Master Wu is highly respected in Fufeng Deji, why did you leave?"
Gao Yuan smiled, "He has another appointment. Once he leaves, the position of magistrate of Fufeng County will be vacant. Is Mr. Zheng interested?"
Zheng Jun was shocked. Although Fufeng and Chima are equal in rank, Fufeng County's status is obviously higher. Gao Yuan gave an unexpected answer, "General Gao, if this is not an order but a question, my answer is, I don't want to."
Gao Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and didn't ask Zheng Jun why he didn't want to, but nodded, "Well, I see, Mr. Zheng, as soon as the weather turns warmer after the Chinese New Year, my East Army will attack. What do you think of this expedition? Or is there anything you want to remind me of?"
Zheng Jun was very unexpected again. It seemed that no one could ask Gao Yuan to ask himself such a question. This general, every question was so unexpected. I really didn't think about it. After frowning and thinking for a while, I just spoke.
"General, Zheng Jun doesn't understand the matter of conquest, and dare not speak nonsense, but under the general's adjustment, the Zhengdong Army has become an elite army, invincible and invincible, that's natural There is only one thing, the general needs to be concerned about it." Zheng Jun said.
"Well, tell me!" Gao Yuan leaned forward, wanting to hear what this person Jiang Changshi valued very much thought.
"Logistics!" Zheng Jun said.
"General, please forgive my subordinates for speaking bluntly. This time the war will not be led by the general, but by Taiwei Zhou, and the relationship between the general and the Taiwei does not seem to be very good!"
Hearing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help laughing, the relationship between him and Zhou Yuan is not only bad, it is simply the relationship between water and fire.
"Go on!"
Zheng Jun swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he naturally knew about the grievances and resentments between Gao Yuan and his superiors. At this time, in a hurry, I just followed my intuition to analyze it.
"For this Eastern Expedition, the Eastern Expedition Army will definitely come out in full force, so the logistics of the army must be deployed by the Taiwei. This is equivalent to choking the general, especially the general. It will be even more dangerous if you go forward and win every victory. It can be said that every time the general takes a step forward, the danger will be more dangerous." Zheng Jun glanced at Gao Yuan and saw that he was listening to his words very seriously, so he became a little more courageous. Some.
"But this time, the logistics coordinator will be coordinated by Zhang Junshou, and Zhang Junshou will not go out." Gao Yuan said.
"Jun Zhang may not be able to withstand the pressure of the Taiwei, especially when the war is about to win." Zheng Jun shook his head.
"What do you think of Zhang Junshou?" Gao Yuan asked with a smile.
"Twenty years ago, a good man was brave and resourceful, but twenty years later, he is just an ordinary sheriff, a miser!" Zheng Jun's evaluation of Zhang Shouyue surprised Gao Yuan." Now The only thing Zhang Junshou thinks about is how to keep the little thing in his hand, and he has no desire to forge ahead at all. General, I know that you have a good relationship with the county guard, but I still want to say that if this continues, Liaoxi will be someone else sooner or later. things.”
Gao Yuan's heart skipped a beat. This Zheng Jun really has a few tricks. Jiang Jiaquan's vision of seeing people is indeed extraordinary.
"So general, this time the Eastern Expedition, no matter what, you have to be careful about the logistics." He suddenly sighed: "It's just that the ability to support the wind and red horse is not enough to support the General's Eastern Expedition. This logistics will eventually be in the hands of others.”
"In your opinion, how can I solve this dilemma?" Gao Yuan asked.
"I don't know. What I want to say is that we can only do everything possible to collect more food and grass, and then we can be self-sufficient." Zheng Jun spread his hands.
Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "Well, what you said makes sense. Mr. Zheng, you come to be the magistrate of Fufeng County. This time it is not a discussion, but an order."
Zheng Jun was stunned for a while, "Yes, General, the subordinate will come to take up his post next year."
Gao Yuan waved his hand and said, "Fufeng and Chima counties will be merged. As you know, these two counties are the defensive areas assigned to me by Zhang Junshou. This time, the two counties will be merged into one, and Chima will be cancelled. The administrative divisions of the county will be merged into Fufeng County, and you will be the magistrate of Fufeng County.”
Zheng Jun left the General's Mansion with a feeling of shock. Looking at his back, Gao Yuan showed a smile. This time the Eastern Expedition must have many things happen. Put Zheng Jun in this seat , is actually a test, if he can successfully pass this test, he will be able to enter the core of Zhengdong Mansion.
This person is capable and discerning. Thinking of Zheng Jun's evaluation of Zhang Shouyue, Gao Yuan couldn't help laughing.
