Turbulent Times Chapter 1000: Zero three

"Mister is a great talent!" Wang Junlin confirmed that Zhao Zhanpeng's stomach is indeed rich, stood up and bowed, "I want to condescend to Mr. Wang as the commander of the county, Mr. Wang, don't refuse!"

Although Zhao Zhanpeng knew that the prefect would reuse him no matter whether it was for the nobles of Fanyang County, or to win over himself and the thirteen nobles behind him, but he did not expect that the prefect would directly give him a position of general guard.

You must know that this is the second in command of a county. In theory, there are hundreds of thousands of people under one person. In terms of ranking, it is still ahead of Du Ruhui's long history. Of course, in front of this powerful prefect, I guess it would be difficult for me to have the authority of the second in command, but such a prominent official position is too rare.

Zhao Zhanpeng took a deep breath, quickly stood up and saluted: "Serving the adults, I dare not survive."

"How familiar are you with the nobles and scholars in Fanyang County? Please select talented and virtuous people for my official use." Wang Junlin helped Zhao Zhanpeng up and said with a smile.

"The responsibility lies, and you dare not resign!" Zhao Zhanpeng said.

On the same day, Zhao Zhanpeng brought several servants into Fanyang County to take up the post of acting general guard.

The formal appointment will not be counted until after Wang Junlin fully reports the matter of Lu Shi and the Navy to Yang Guang, and reports the new appointments of officials at the county and county levels by the way, and it will not be counted until the court approves it.

In terms of official affairs in the county, Wang Junlin will be handed over to Du Ruhui and Zhao Zhanpeng, Shan Xiongxin will select a thousand people to be incorporated into the army, and Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong will secretly train three soldiers in the name of Yanding in the salt field. Thousand elite soldiers. The captains of the eight counties will be selected from the personal guards around Wang Junlin. The eight thousand county soldiers will be under Wang Junlin's real control in a short time. Under his vigorous rectification and request, the eight thousand county soldiers He will become an elite soldier before Yang Guang goes to war against Goguryeo.

As for the 20,000 sailors and 10,000 county soldiers, Wang Junlin naturally would not touch them, because only in this way, with Yang Guang's character, he would not doubt Wang Junlin's other things.

During the period when Wang Junlin stayed in Zhuo County and brought eight people with him, including Captain Guoyi Zhu Yukun, with the cooperation of Huang Shaoqiu, there were more than 2,000 "remnants" of Dou Shihai among the navy left behind Rebellion, these people were beheaded on the spot.

The two thousand navy officers and soldiers plus the captives brought by Nie Xiaoyu to the big ship before, a total of 2,500 navy officers and soldiers, and more than 2,000 Lu's rebels were secretly transported to Snake Island by Nie Xiaoyu, where there is a lot of trouble. A navy and weapons workshop will soon be established.

On the way of the five thousand naval officers and soldiers retreating from Zhuo County to the naval camp, Dou Shihai's remnant captain Lu Shijun rebelled, and led his subordinates to suddenly attack Guoyi captain Zhu Yukun's subordinates, shot and killed Zhu Yukun, and then led the Affiliated defected overseas.

According to Wang Junlin's arrangement, the navy on Snake Island will be led by Lu Shijun and will conduct drills. As for the warships needed by this navy, Nie Xiaoyu will naturally figure out a way. A shipyard has been secretly built in the saltworks, and craftsmen have begun to recruit and train secretly. With Nie Xiaoyu personally responsible for this matter, Wang Junlin was not worried at all.

As early as when Wang Junlin returned to the county, Li Zixiong, the general in charge of Youzhou in the north, sent people to bring over five hundred family members of the cavalry, and Wang Junlin arranged them all in the salt field. The settling fee of twenty taels of silver was given to fifty acres of fertile land. So far, the more than five hundred elite cavalry led by Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong will completely give up on Wang Junlin, and they will become the backbone of the three thousand elite soldiers secretly trained in the salt field.

Three months later, when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, all the county captains and captains in Fanyang County have been replaced by Wang Junlin's confidants, although there are still six county magistrates and county magistrates who are kept by Wang Junlin , but these people dare not disobey the prefect at all. So far, apart from waiting for Yang Guang to send a new Zhonglang general to command the navy and Xue Li's 10,000 county soldiers, he has not moved, the other military affairs of Fanyang County have basically been controlled by Wang Junlin.

As for the navy general, no matter who came to Zhonglang, Huang Shaoqiu, the insider, was recommended by Wang Junlin as the captain of Guoyi because of his meritorious service in staying in the camp to suppress the rebellion. As for Ying Yanglang's distribution of Xue Li's dividends because of the salt business, although Wang Junlin never said it clearly, when he knew that the salt business was completely controlled by the prefect, he knew that his handle fell into the hands of the prefect. Wang Junlin believed that In the days to come, as long as he didn't make it clear that he was rebellious, Xue Li would never go against any of his decisions. On the day Wang Junlin came back from Zhuo County, he took the initiative to withdraw the thousand soldiers stationed outside the salt field. It can be seen.

With the cooperation of the Lu family and the local forces in Fanyang County headed by Zhao Zhanpeng, Wang Junlin quickly grasped the farmland and Dingkou base of Fanyang County.

The eight counties of Fanyang County have more than 7 million mu of registered land, and there are still as many as 120,000 households in registered Dingkou. Although it cannot be compared with the rich Jiangnan and Central Plains, it is a real place in the north of the Yellow River. big county.

In the past, Fanyang County handed over more than 600,000 taels of grain to the imperial court, 200,000 taels of salt tax, and roughly 100,000 taels of silver in other taxes. After that, the salt tax should be no less than 500,000 taels of silver, and other taxes should be at least 200,000 taels of silver. Yang Guangda was overjoyed and approved all Wang Junlin's appointments in Fanyang County from Du Ruhui to Zhao Zhanpeng.

…

…

"My lord wants to build an academy?" Zhao Zhanpeng was surprised, but he didn't expect that the first job Wang Junlin arranged for him was this.

Wang Junlin nodded and said: "I have issued a decree to promote legal education. For this reason, I intend to establish a college. All the people of this county, no matter whether they are nobles, rich or poor, as long as they can read and write, they can pass me. You can enter the college to study through the examination and selection. I am busy with government affairs and have no skills at all. Therefore, I want to appoint someone to be the dean of this college, who specializes in jurisprudence. It is no small matter to select those who are excellent in the exam to be officials of the county. , must be appointed by someone who has profound knowledge and is well-known in the county, and must also know people with insight, except for Zhao Xianzi, there is really no suitable candidate."

Zhao Zhanpeng knew that Wang Junlin wanted him to serve as the dean of this college, and it was a good job, but he still had some doubts, so he frowned and asked, "What is the difference between the college opened by your lord and that Lu's college?"

Wang Junlin said with a smile: "Of course there is a big difference. Lu's College trains scholars, while Fan Yang College trains capable officers who can do practical things and are good at doing practical things."

While talking, Wang Junlin took out a bound book from his pocket, and saw the eight characters "Fanyang Academy Teaching Syllabus" written on it, and the thickness may be no less than a hundred thousand words.
