Turbulent Times Chapter 940: Du Ruhui’s opinion

Qian Zhengkuo smiled wryly in his heart, knowing that he would definitely not be trusted by the prefect. At least for a long period of time, Xu Xiaohu and Lian Zhongtao were the real masters of the salt field, not him. No matter how bitter he felt, Qian Zhengkuo still smiled and took the initiative to salute Xu Xiaohu and Lian Zhongtao, and said: "In the future, Master Xu and Master Lian will be the masters of the saltworks."

Xu Xiaohu and Lian Zhongtao were not arrogant, they returned the greeting with a smile, Xu Xiaohu said with a deadpan expression: "Lord Qian is our superior, this is a serious statement."

Lian Zhongtao didn't know what his identity was before he was assigned as a salt slave, but now he entered the role very quickly. : "Master Qian is joking, we are doing things for you together, I hope Master Qian can do his best."

At this time, Wang Junlin had already turned around and returned to his seat, motioned the three of them to sit down, and said to Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong: "Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong, you two are now the captains of the salt field soldiers, but you This captain is different from the previous captain of Yanding. Starting tomorrow, you will be allowed to select soldiers from the salt workers and slaves in the salt field. Together with the more than 500 cavalry you brought together, you can make up 3,000 soldiers. The two of you will each command 1,500 soldiers. Hundreds of people, hurry up to train soldiers, Qian Zhengkuo and Lian Zhongtao must fully cooperate in this matter."

Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong rushed out, knelt down on one knee, clasped their fists and said, "I obey you."

Qian Zhengkuo and Lian Zhongtao also stood up again, clasped their fists and said hello.

Wang Junlin signaled everyone to be free, and waited for Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong to sit in their seats, and then said: "This time, I came to Fanyang County to take up the post of prefect. Your Majesty has given me the privilege of being the fifth rank." The following officials do not need to report to the imperial court, as long as there is sufficient evidence of wrongdoing or sufficient reasons, they can be directly dismissed or even punished directly, and I will send the new appointments of the five of you to the imperial court for supplementary registration."

The five quickly stood up again, expressing their gratitude to the prefect.

Wang Junlin finally said: "I have been away from the county for a long time, and I will return to the county tomorrow. Nie Xiaoyu will stay for a while. During this time, the five of you must listen to her." , from the method of cooking salt, to training soldiers, and how to use salt workers and salt slaves, etc., these things must be obeyed by Xiaoyu."

Except for Xu Xiaohu, although the other four people did not know Nie Xiaoyu's identity, they did not dare to disobey Wang Junlin's orders and immediately bowed to accept them.

…

The wheels of the four-wheeled carriage rolled over the snowflakes that just fell last night on the official road, and when they touched the stone cracks on the road, they made a rattling sound, which echoed with the sound of the reeds between the hubs, as if they were singing just as cheerful.

Because of the cold weather, the road out of the salt field was completely quiet.

The convoy of the prefect passed through the defense line in charge of the outermost county soldiers without any hindrance. Wang Junlin looked through the window and looked at the five small army villages that were getting farther and farther apart. He wanted to wait for Yang Guang After the secret decree given to him reaches Fanyang County, he can talk to Xue Li, withdraw the thousand soldiers from the county, and let a thousand saltmen be in charge of guarding the periphery, then he can completely control the salt farm.

In the middle of Wang Junlin's convoy, there were three torture vehicles tightly covered with black cloth, and Dong Kang and other three salt officials were imprisoned inside. The three of them racked their brains all night and wrote down all the things they knew about the underground salt shop and the Lu family. Although some things had already been mentioned in the news collected by Shen Guoer, many of them were from Shen Guoer before. Fruit is not grasped.

Although Wang Junlin didn't intend to kill the three of them immediately, he didn't think about letting them go either. He was going to hand the three of them over to the Fan Yang Intelligence Department led by Shen Guoer, to see if he could re-enter from their minds. Get something out of it.

…

…

Wang Junlin met Du Ruhui who had just arrived from Changxiang County outside the county city, and let him get into his carriage directly.

Du Ruhui reported the situation in Changxiang County. With the full cooperation of Feng Xiaoyong, the captain of Changxiang County who controlled a thousand soldiers in the county, Du Ruhui spent more than a month in the Changxiang County Yamen. The Xiaoshi of the department should be killed, closed, and expelled, and reused a group of small nobles or civilians who were persecuted by Lu for various reasons. The methods can be described as vigorous and decisive. Wang Junlin supported Cui Shijie, who fought with the Lu family in Gu'an County, and Changxiang County was the first city Wang Junlin really controlled in Fanyang County.

After complimenting Du Ruhui mercilessly, Wang Junlin took the initiative to tell Du Ruhui what he had done in the county town and the salt field these days, and told about his general plan to deal with the Lu family and control Fanyang County. Seek Du Ruhui's opinions and opinions.

Wang Junlin's suggestion is very simple, take advantage of the Snake Island pirates and the underground salt shop to uproot the Lu family at the right time, and finally he concluded: "Generally speaking, this is a quick way to cut through the mess! The Lu family is too powerful in Fanyang County, and the operation of thousands of years has been intertwined in the entire Fanyang County. If you want to deal with it slowly, you really don't know when you will be able to bring down the Lu family. Don't do it too hastily, to avoid Lu's dog jumping over the wall in a hurry, of course, Lu Youwei's chess piece is very important."

Wang Junlin's ultimate plan is that there will be no more Lu family in Fanyang County, and half of the fertile land in Fanyang County occupied by Lu family will be vacated. Wang Junlin will let the poorest common people to farm, and these common people will soon For a long time, it has become his most loyal supporter in controlling Fanyang County and the source of his troops when he expands his troops in the future.

At that time, his real plan of governing the county, he imagined that one county would illuminate the entire Sui Dynasty, and the plan to reverse history can be officially launched...

After Wang Junlin finished speaking selectively, Du Ruhui said: "Your Excellency's plan, the lower officials deeply agree with it, and the lower officials also think that ruling the rich and powerful should be done with fierce fire, but the common people should be treated with gentleness."

Speaking of this, Du Ruhui suddenly hesitated to speak.

Wang Junlin noticed Du Ruhui's strange expression, and asked curiously: "If Ruhui has anything to say, can you speak freely in front of me?"

Du Ruhui was encouraged, and said: "Your Excellency just heard about the various actions of the saltworks, and I feel touched, and I have some opinions on some things."

Looking at Du Ruhui's appearance, Wang Junlin knew that Du Ruhui probably had a different opinion or emotion about his behavior in the salt field these days. He attached great importance to what he said, so he said with a smile: "There are only you and me in the carriage, if you have any thoughts, just say it!"
