Chapter 173 Gathering the Heart

"Do you want to get this Sun Mian down?" Wang Ju thought to himself.

It seems a bit unlikely.

The magistrate is the mayor, but the magistrate of Qingzhou is different. It is equivalent to the combination of the mayor of the provincial capital, the secretary of the municipal party committee and the commander of the military sub-district. Moreover, behind Sun Mian, Ouyang Xiuli, was supported by him.

Wang Ju is just the county magistrate of a small county, and the difference in level between the two is too big.

But when he was too impatient, Wang Ju wanted to give it a try, but there was no way. Sun Mian had many shortcomings to use, and there was still someone in the court who could use it, Sima Guang.

If Sima Guang is unable to use himself, why can't he use Sima Guang?

Of course, it is quite troublesome to operate.

"Wait and see." Wang Ju thought to himself again.

There are two bottom lines, it’s okay to receive gifts. Zhu Huan’s news about bamboo paper brought by him is even more beneficial than he thought. Although he has not received much money, he has placed a lot of orders and will make a profit immediately. And if he wants to make money, he doesn’t have too many methods.

However, if you accept a gift, you cannot hinder yourself. This is the first bottom line.

Secondly, personnel changes in the court are endless. Unless a new official like himself, he usually needs to investigate and resolve the job for three years before he can be transferred. The transfer of the remaining officials is like a carousel.

Maybe next year, the court will use Cai Ting to replace Sun Mian, but this time is also Wang Ju's limit. If the court is not replaced in the early summer next year, Wang Ju will also find a way to get Sun Mian away or take down.

After all, when winter comes, it is a 100,000 army. Can we deal with the troops of our own and Huachi County?

But before this, one thing must be done. If you interfere in the Hu Qian case, you must save Hu Qian safely.

If you want to save Hu Qian, you must close the two cases. Once the case is closed, the case will be cancelled and Hu Qian will be released. Otherwise, Hu Qian and his brothers will be kept in trouble for a long time, and they will inevitably leave a big handle for Sun Mian for no reason.

But there is no need to hurry this. We have to wait for the wild dragon Mee Sheng to bring reliable news from Ziwu Mountain.

So Wang Ju sent off his father-in-law and Zhu Huan, and rode his horse to Liyuan Fort.

After practicing for a few days, I could barely be able to ride a horse, but I couldn't fight on the horse. However, he was a civil servant, and it was his turn to charge forward. The situation was bad. Just ride a horse, but it was enough to ride it. After all, riding a horse is fast, and doing things efficiently.

So he and Zhang Zai have two different concepts.

Like Zhang Zai, his style is high and a strong gentleman spirit makes Wang Ju feel ashamed, but it is difficult to do big things. Wang Ju may have many minds, many scheming and many means, but it is the material for doing big things.

If you want to do big things, you have to make a big investment and make big moves. You obviously have several horses at home and have several helpers, but Wang Ju feels that there are not enough money and not enough people.

When they arrived at Liyuan Fort and Yao Yi came to the riverside again, Wang Ju said, "Inspector Yao, it's about to start. Are you ready?"

"Minister Wang, look."

Wang Ju took the paper head over and looked at it, saying, "It's done well."

"Minister Wang. If we deliberately target Liu's command, will Gong Sun doubt it?"

Yao Shi is not as well-informed as Wang Ju. But after all, Sun Mian served as a prefect in Gyeongju and heard about some of Sun Mian's deeds. And it was a good side.

In fact, Sun Mian was able to dominate in his early years, but after suppressing the rebellion of Nong Zhigao, he made contributions and Di Qing became the leader. He did not go to power. He might be unhappy and he would fall into depravity from then on. Or like many officials, he was full of passion when he was young, but after entering the officialdom, he found that it was not the case. His blood was gone, his edges and corners were smoothed out, and he gradually became older, so he became more and more greedy as he got older.

Therefore, Yao Yi was somewhat afraid.

"Inspector Yao, don't be afraid. This is salt, not private goods. I believe Mr. Sun doesn't like it very much. When he comes to Qingzhou again, he also needs a chance to establish his authority." Wang Ju said.

So what if you guess it?

Sun Mian captured Hu Qian, but Hu Qian brought it up by himself. Would he be happy? How dare you not take Sun Mian? Isn't it okay to give up a small Poche army to instruct him to extricate himself?

If you are a little sensible, you will not dare to offend people.

He doesn't want to be a good person who is good and deceived.

Wang Ju said again: "Inspector Yao, I have a man named Zhang Zhifu of Qingzhou in the same year."

"I have heard of it, it seems to be higher than you." Yao Yi joked.

"Yes, the provincial exam is two places higher than me, and the palace exam is two places higher than me. Alas, I'm helpless."

"You are all amazing, both tests are on the top of the list."

"Inspector Yao, stop praising me. I have said something to a very expensive person in the capital. I have once commented on Renzong's mistakes. The loss is to support scholars. The power of literati is too heavy."

"Magistrate Wang, you can't tell me." Yao Yi was frightened.

"What are you afraid of? Will you reveal it? I'm so heartbroken to you, can't you so heartbroken to me?"

"Minister Wang..." Yao Yi was very moved. Wang Ju is not at a high position now, but his future is bright. How can he not be moved by his own man?

"Why is it said that raising scholars is a failure? If you have special skills, you still need to focus on military generals in war? How many Confucian generals have been produced in ancient and modern times?" In the Song Dynasty, although civil officials were allowed to take charge of the army, Yu Shiwen and Zhang Qi were given the few Confucian generals who could fight.

From the perspective of the general, Yao Yi was even more moved when he heard this.

In fact, Wang Ju and Zhao Xu had a little deeper talk, including the lame system. If it was said, Yao Shi would be convinced here.

But I can only say in moderation that the best thing about the system in the future should not be taken out, as it may make you very passive in the future.

"I won't mention this. Zhang Tui also understands military affairs, so when I talked to me, I talked about one thing: our dynasty's policies are relatively soft, and the Xixia is not rude and repeatedly plundering. Our dynasty can only passively defend, so the Xixia will have further major actions. If we use military forces in Qingzhou, where will it be used?"

"Dashun City."

"By the way, it's Dashun City, but if they want to capture Dashun City, they must cut off our support troops. Where will they use their troops?"

"Liyuan Fort and Rouyuan Village, Magistrate Wang is really a god. No wonder Magistrate Wang pointed out the military affairs as soon as he came to Huachi." Yao Yi finally understood and then asked worriedly: "Magistrate Wang guess when will they move their troops?"

"They will further test this year. After all, the imperial court is training troops and has captured so many righteous and brave men. Xixia also needs to find out the details. However, those righteous men will not take them seriously, so they may invade in large numbers next year, and maybe it will be Qingzhou."

"Why not a few other routes?"

"The people on Linfu Road are strong, and Li Yuanhao was killed in Qingli. They dared to invade Quye River, but did they dare to invade Linzhou Prefecture. Even if they suddenly piled up our army, they were almost wiped out. Do the people of Xixia dare to attack Linzhou City?"

When Li Yuanhao attacked Linzhou City, Zhao Niannu's second maternal ancestor Miao Jixuan was exhausted and wanted to die. Li Yuanhao was not good, so there was no need to say that Wu Zang Epang.

"Cheng Kan is an old minister who built city defense and fortresses in Yanzhou. Do you dare to chew on Xixia?"

"Yu Zanghuama surrendered to Xixia, causing the Western Xia army to approach Qinfeng Road, but it is still dominated by foreigners and is far away from Xixia. It is okay to plunder. Is it worth using a large army to attack Qinfeng Road?"

"If Xixia wants to attack Jingyuan Road, it can only start with the Zhenrong Army, how far is it from Chang'an."

All four sides have been removed, which road is left?

"Why didn't Magistrate Wang write to the court?"

"Who knows military affairs in the court? I have a gentle official Weibo account, but who believes it?"

"Oh," Yao Yi sighed. If Wang Ju guessed, it would be the soldiers on the front line who were sad.

"The Buddha said that if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? I dare not compare myself with the Buddha, but for the sake of the Song Dynasty, what's the point of going to hell? So I used some unconventional means." Wang Ju may have selfish intentions and wanted to make achievements, and was even buying Yao Shi's heart, but it was indeed for the Song Dynasty, so he spoke with justice.

Yao Yi was incited by him and said excitedly: "If Magistrate Wang goes to hell, I will accompany Magistrate Wang to hell."

"Okay, I'll just say this to Inspection Commissioner Yao. I've always drunken wine. I'll accompany you tonight if you don't get drunk."

"A single word is certain, but I don't understand that these methods are for the country, not for personal gain."

"Inspector Yao, it's hard to say. Think about General Di's experience. Not every minister considers the court. For his own interests, they will turn black and white. So this matter must be kept confidential."

In this way, Yao Yi understood.

"When does it begin?"

"In just a few days, my father and Zhu Huan from Yanzhou have sent someone to buy pigs and sheep." Wang Ju said. If the soldiers want to serve as orders, they have to see the benefits, but they can't see the benefits. If they speak vernacularly, who is willing to serve you?

So you have to wait for the pigs and sheep to come and everyone will have a happy meal. Then, the gratitude and trust will be established and the order will be made in the future.

The main reason is that this authority is a bit embarrassing. Wang Ju can ask about it, but he cannot interfere directly. Just the military training power, I still don’t know what Sun Mian thought.

The two talked for a while and went to the fort to drink.

By the way, the seedlings announced that the first batch of pigs and sheep would come over a few days later.

The court occasionally allocated some meat to eat, but the amount was very small, and the officials were corrupt, even less in the words of soldiers.

Now the Song Dynasty army is carrying the bad reputation and lives a hard life.

Therefore, they all look forward to this meat. Some soldiers even use their fingers to calculate how much meat they have on their heads every month. This is even happier. But that means, God knows whether the magistrate keeps his words.

Now there was finally a result, so I raised the fort and cheered.

After drinking, Wang Ju rode back again, and he had to arrange Hu Qian's affairs.

This kid is thrilling to revenge, which makes him suffer a headache.

The next day, Yao Yi also rushed to Qingzhou to meet Sun Mian. There was no way, Lao Sun was the real boss of Qingzhou and the real person to make the decision.

When Sun Mian heard the report from the concierge, he immediately asked Yao Yi to come in. Yao Yi was a inspector of Qingzhou and was in charge of military affairs in Huachi County, so he had to see him.

Yao Yi went in respectfully and bowed. From this moment on, Wang Ju's complicated plan also began. (To be continued)
