Chapter 108 Debriefing of the Ministry of Personnel
"Damn it, you're cheating me. Isn't it usually done once every three years? If you don't go, it's not an order from the king. The officials are nothing." Sun Yu was so annoyed that he had just rushed back from Quanzhou.
I am going to Jiangning again, and I don’t know when I will be back. I spend half of the year on the road. Besides, my official position has nothing to do with the civil service. He can give me a promotion.
Position or salary increase? In fact, the Ministry of Personnel is the head of the six departments, and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is revered as a heavenly official, the top existence among civil servants. But in this troubled world, the real power of military commanders is king.
"Sir, you'd better go there. From now on, you will have to deal with the officials, and it won't be good if you don't give me face. Besides, if you go this year, I think the officials will have no shame to let you go again next year. Even if you do, your Excellency won't do it.
Go, no one said anything. Think about it, my lord, if you really enter Quanzhou next year, you will definitely not be able to leave. Why not go there this year and communicate with the ruler of the country, it is best to get a decree
And so on, then he will be considered a master." Xu Yi thought for a long time. Now that Jianzhou is stable, Sun Yu's presence or absence does not matter much, so it would be beneficial and harmless to take a trip.
"That's true. I'll rest for two days before leaving. I haven't healed my butt yet." Sun Yu kept riding horses, and his butt was worn out badly. It's better to rest for two more days and hit the road. There's no rush anyway, just go.
"Sir, have you thought about which people to bring back to Jiangning and how to return to Jiangning?" Xu Yi saw Sun Yu's posture and it was useless to urge him, so he could only ask patiently.
"Bring less people and pretend to be poor." Sun Yu planned to pretend to be poor anyway, and no one could try to take advantage of me, not only for money but also for his life.
"It is certain that this wealth will not be revealed, but the power of our Jianzhou Army must still be maintained. Sir, you must make the king have confidence in you, and you must deter those with evil intentions. Think about it, no matter how poor Jianzhou is,
There are also two taels of meat, and everyone wants to take a bite. If you have a knife in your hand, you will give half a catty of blood to anyone who dares to eat, and no one will come to make plans." Xu Yi thought, this poverty is not someone else's fault.
Your key point is that you are poor and ruthless, and others will definitely avoid you.
"Then let Lao Cheng take charge in Jianpu, and I will take Bahu and Bad Dog for a trip. In addition, how about 30 more cavalry, led by Han Zaiwu?" The most capable men under him are Lao Cheng, Chen Qiba, and Bad Dog.
, the most promising candidate among the younger generation is Han Zaiwu. He brings three top thugs and thirty cavalry, which is arrogant enough. And his absolute confidants, Xu Yi, Zhang Daqiu, Sun Sandao, and Lao Cheng
They all stay here, each one is responsible for a piece, and you can go to Jiangning with peace of mind.
"Then if this matter in Jianzhou is difficult to decide..." Sun Yu will go to Jiangning for a short period of more than a month or a long period of nearly three months. If something big happens during this period, there must be someone who can make a decision.
.
"You, Lao Cheng, and Zhang Daqiu still have three swords. The four of you will vote by a show of hands. The minority will obey the majority. If it is two to two, then you will decide the government affairs, the military affairs will be decided by Lao Cheng, and the logistics will be decided by the three swords. But.
Regarding military law, you must listen to Zhang Daqiu, and you are not allowed to interfere." Sun Yu thought for a while and clearly divided the responsibilities. Other matters are easy to discuss, but military law cannot be used, and he must ensure that Zhang Daqiu's majesty is not violated.
Be offended, otherwise you will have nothing to do with me in the future.
"That's very appropriate. My subordinates asked them to come over for dinner tonight as a farewell to you." Sun Yu had to say this in front of the big guys, otherwise no one would be able to fix it if something goes wrong.
"If you work together, you are in a hurry.
I'm leaving, I said I'd rest for two days, so I won't see you off tonight. I won't be in the Governor's Mansion tonight, and the commercial bank has important matters to deal with, so we'll talk about it tomorrow." Sun Yu waved his hand and strode outside. You, he?
My mother’s wife is here, making love to each other every night. I just returned to Jianzhou and stayed with Juyao for one night, and now I have to go on a long journey again. It’s really a tiring life.
"Evil dog, come here." Sun Yu searched for a long time before he found the evil dog at a construction site. He was carrying a big log. He was the leader of his own soldiers. He almost couldn't find it.
"Hey, sir, come here." The evil dog put the big wood in place, jumped three times in one step, passed all the obstacles, and immediately came to Sun Yu. The life in Jianpu is really comfortable, with good food and accommodation. The little fox likes it.
It's amazing. I quickly got to know the soldiers here today and made a lot of friends.
"I'll take you to the stable to pick out a horse. Yours is useless. You have to go on a long journey in two days, which will probably take two months. Go back and tell your sister. If you need anything, go to Lao Cheng. I'll give him instructions later.
"Sun Yu said to the vicious dog as he walked, he can no longer carry the mace and lead the horse. There is no such masterpiece as Journey to the West these days, otherwise he should be called Tang Monk.
"I understand my humble position. I'll explain it tonight. I won't have to worry about food and drink here. There's nothing to worry about." I am a personal soldier of the Lord, so naturally I have to follow him. Otherwise, why would he be treated like this? As for the little fox, although he is reluctant to part with it,
But there is nothing that can be done about it.
Sun Yu picked a maroon horse for the evil dog from the cavalry camp stable, which was enough to carry the evil dog and his mace. As for the original owner of the horse, he had no choice but to use the Yunnan horse to fight the horse first.
Just take a look and see if there are suitable horses along the way and buy some. It would be great if there is an outlet to the sea. If you trade directly with the Liao Kingdom in the north, you should be able to get a few batches of healthy horses back.
Next, Sun Yu told Chen Qiba and Han Zaiwu that they were ready to go north to Jiangning. They were quite excited. Han Zaiwu had been away from home for many days, so it was great to be able to go home and see him, and he was rarely seen now.
Dressed in anger, Ma can be regarded as a return to his hometown in rich clothes. As for Chen Qiba, it was purely because he had never been to Jiangning. He had heard that Jiangning was blooming with flowers, so he naturally wanted to see it. This was a publicly funded trip.
Sun Yu originally didn't want to go to Jiangning, just because he was lazy and didn't want to bother. Now think about it, he has been away from home for many days, so he might as well go back and visit, but the others don't care, and he still misses Qing'er quite a bit.
Now that the explanation is over, Sun Yu will no longer stay. All preparations will be arranged by them. All he has to do is ride on horseback and set off.
Sun Yu looked up and saw that it was already dinner time. He went to the restaurant to buy some food and went directly to Jianzhou Trading Company. He had to spend more time with Juyao these two days.
"Mr. Lang, why did you buy so much delicious food today? What's the point?" Juyao put down her account book, lifted up her skirt, and came over to help arrange the dishes.
"Hurry up about the necklace. I have to go to Jiangning and report back to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It will probably take more than two months." Sun Yu gave Ju Yao a chicken drumstick. He couldn't tell her yesterday, but today he said it.
When I was about to leave, my face was slapped.
"Ah, so urgent? The necklace has been sent for processing early in the morning. I will ask someone to rush it, and it will probably be ready tomorrow." Juyao was stunned. This news was a bit sudden, but there was nothing that could be done about it. Hey, the official department.
, an incredible yamen.
"You have to leave quickly, otherwise if it snows heavily, you won't be able to come back." Jianzhou is still quite peaceful here.
Well, the winter is not too cold, and the snow is very short. But it is hard to say in Jiangning. Once the road is blocked by heavy snow, it is estimated that I will have to wait until the beginning of next spring before I can hit the road. Jianzhou is my base camp, and I will definitely feel uneasy after being away for so long.
Moreover, the Jianzhou Army was about to expand its troops, and he had to come back before the year no matter what.
"I'll prepare two sets of thicker clothes in a moment. You can take them with you. If it gets cold on the way, don't freeze." It's already autumn. The further we go to Jiangning, the colder the weather will be. If you get sick, you'll be in trouble.
.
...
After lunch, Sun Yu lay in front of the window. It was still busy outside.
"Why, you don't want to look at the account books anymore?" Sun Yu couldn't help but ask when he felt that Ju Yao, who was leaning up from behind, suddenly became active.
"My husband is about to leave, so I should do my duty. How can I keep busy with those things." Juyao gradually reached down her hand. This is her man. He is about to go away. No matter how cold he is, he will be ignored.
It’s not my own anymore.
Sun Yu suddenly became interested, got up and walked toward the bedroom with Ju Yao in his arms...
Two days later, Sun Yu said goodbye to Xu Yi and others who came to see him off at the north gate of Jianpu, turned around and led the way, followed by more than thirty riders, galloping away to the north.
"Mr. Xu, my lord said, this recruitment matter must be done as soon as possible." When Sun Yu left, Cheng Zhenbei cupped his hands towards Xu Yi and said, besides building the city, this matter is the most important thing now, and it must be done before the lord returns.
Implementation is the key.
"Don't worry, Lieutenant Cheng, I will draw up a charter right now, and there will be no delay." Xu Yi said with his hand in hand.
"If you need help from our brothers in the special battalion, just give me a word." Yang Qifeng's special battalion has manpower in various places. Unlike other battalions, they recruit some people from all walks of life. Recently, in addition to looking for assassinations,
The mastermind behind this, and nothing else, is not important. He is gathering information from various places and buying informants.
"Don't worry, Colonel Yang. I will definitely not be polite if you can be useful. But Colonel Yang still has to think of something else. The mastermind behind the ambush last time has not been found, so I am still worried."
"Every time you go north, you don't even dare to take a boat, so you can only ride a horse." Xu Yi specifically told Sun Yu not to take a boat even if it was slower. It was too dangerous. Who knows if the black hand set an ambush along the way. Since
If they knew about Sun Yu's southward trip to Quanzhou, I'm afraid they couldn't hide the news about his northward trip to Jiangning.
"We already have some clues, but the culprit was too cunning and missed everything." Yang Qifeng was not idle during this period. The brothers from the special battalion were conducting secret investigations in various places, and all the new faces were not spared. I discovered it a few days ago.
Two people whose whereabouts were mysterious, Yang Qifeng and Ye Luoxue personally took them there, but they still escaped.
"No matter how hard Brother Yang works, if he dares to trick our lord, he must be found out. I, Old Cheng, will have to kill him." If he commits other crimes, he can still be sent to the mines, but these guys are hiding behind and plotting against Sun Yu.
Lao Cheng will naturally kill the guy with the last name quickly.
"This is my duty, so naturally I don't dare to slack off." Originally, I didn't get the news about Sun Yu's ambush last time, which was already suspected of dereliction of duty. If there was no result, it would be difficult for me to face the adults.
