Chapter 5 Search (I)

Cangzhou, the "gate" of the defense envoy.

Zheng Ziming sat in a pavilion in the back ‘flower’ garden and browsed and reviewed the official documents placed on the stone table.

The official documents on the table were piled up very high, and he had been busy all morning and did not drop much. On the path leading to the front hall of the "Flower" Garden, Li Shun'er stumbled over with another pile of official documents that were as high as the tip of his nose.

Zheng Ziming was alarmed by Li Shun'er's footsteps. He turned around and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Don't do it anymore, stop doing it. If you continue like this, I will definitely vomit blood!"

There was a teapot and teacup on the other end of the table, but the water was already cold. For a whole morning, he didn't even bother to drink half a sip. His lips and lips were dry, and he looked like two dried shrimps.

Li Shun'er's image is not much better than him. Although she was wearing Sitian's silk robe, sleeves, front collar, etc., there were ink marks. In order to facilitate running, the hem of the robe was lifted high by this person, tied around her waist, revealing a pair of short trousers that had faded away, and two sweaty little legs.

Seeing that Zheng Ziming disliked the fact that he had brought too many official documents, Li Shun immediately grinned and shouted injustice: "Sir, there are really not many! My subordinates have tried their best to deal with it, and they have finished all the things they can handle overnight. But the summer grain will be in the warehouse soon, right next to the canal, and there are still a large number of unowned fields that have not been measured and allocated. If you don't catch it, it's tight..."

"Okay, okay, just put it on the edge of the table. Don't show your merits, you won't reward you if you show your merits!" Zheng Ziming didn't patiently listen to his complaints and interrupted with a frown.

"Oh, ah!" Li Shun'er, the military officer of Sitian, agreed without any worries and placed the official document in her arms on the other corner of the table. Then, she took a cup of cold tea from the table without hesitation and poured it into her throat.

"Being a monkey and being crowned!" Seeing that he could not change his rough appearance, Zheng Ziming curled his lips and said, and then poured himself a bowl of cold tea, and continued to turn the next official document while drinking it.

Li Shun'er didn't dare to disturb him, but she was unwilling to leave. She waited beside the table like she was looking at a dog, and kept gasping for breath, "Hosh, hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"If you have something to say, don't pretend to behave!" Zheng Ziming immediately guessed that Li Shun'er had something else to do, looked up and gave the man a blank look, and whispered an order.

"Hey, hey!" Li Shun'er agreed again. Then, he held a corner of the stone table with both hands and begged pitifully: "Sir, sir, although I can read a few words, I really don't read much. I can lead a horse and kick it. I have already had the blessings I have cultivated in my previous life. Now, I have become Sitian to join the army, just as the lord said, Mu, Mu, that monkey, so I want to..."

"Why, I'm saying a few words to you, you still have a temper!" Zheng Ziming was slightly stunned when he heard it, put down the official document he was browsing, and said in surprise. "Then I'll apologize to you..."

As he spoke, he was about to stand up. He immediately frightened Li Shun'er and rushed over, holding his arm with both hands, "I dare not, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, s

"Xinan, aren't you doing a good job? Is there anything you don't feel at ease?" Unexpectedly, Li Shun'er came to find her to resign. Zheng Ziming was confused by the 'smacking', and looked at the other person up and down, asking in a gentle tone as possible.

Although he had no intention of blaming the other party, Li Shuner knelt down with a "thump" sound, covering her face with her hands, and cried in a low voice: "Sir, my subordinates have never read books seriously for a few days, and the number of literacy is very limited. The adults 'handed' such an important job to their subordinates, and they couldn't sleep at first. Yes, there were millions of acres of land, more than 15,000 families, and more than 4,000 brothers' land. My subordinates really don't have the ability to manage it. If the work of my subordinates is delayed, the villain will not be redeemed for a hundred deaths, and the villain will not be redeemed for a hundred deaths!"

"That's it? Look at your promising prospect!" Zheng Ziming suddenly realized, got up and moved his legs, and slapped Li Shun'er aside, "Get out! You can't even be an official, what else can you do? You can't stop buying a piece of tofu and hit yourself to death."

"My subordinates, every sentence, every sentence comes from the heart!" Li Shun refused to obey the order, raised his hand to wipe the tears and hot sweat on his face, and added with sob. "My subordinates, you are loyal to you. In the past few months, you have never slept for a long time! But, but the more you do, the more you do, the more you do, the more you get. If this continues, it will definitely delay your affairs. By then, even if you don't pursue me, brothers, brothers and brothers will have to spit out my spit to death!"

"So you are worried about this?" Zheng Ziming laughed in silence, "Why should they criticize you? Are they doing better than you, or are you pretending to be "public" and they got the handle?"

"Subordinate, if the subordinates get half acre of land, they will be struck by lightning!" Li Shun'er "stimulated" Lingling and immediately raised his right hand and sweared to the heaven!" "Sir, the rewards given to his subordinates have been enough for several lifetimes. There are still jobs and fields to be divided at home. If the subordinates are not satisfied, then it is really a conscience..."

"No need to swear, I believe you! Besides, it's not a decoration for the recorder to join the army!" Zheng Ziming waved his hand and interrupted with a smile.

Cangzhou is located on the border between the Han and Liao countries, far away from Bianliang. Therefore, as a governor and defensive envoy, he could let go of his "sex". By eliminating local tyrants, he reclaimed the large number of fertile land that had been "spending" by the powerful people to merge and reclaim the "officials". According to his own ideas, he could allocate it to the soldiers under his command and ordinary people without any foundation, so that the vast majority of people would benefit and work with him.

Therefore, the friends and confidants who first followed him, such as Tao Dachun, Pan Mei, Guo Xin, Tao Yong, Li Shuner, etc., all gained great success. The brothers brought from Lijiazhai also obtained a good job based on their contributions and official positions. The most were hundreds of acres, and the fewest were dozens of acres, and each became a rich man.

In this way, officials at all levels will not deliberately be corrupt in a short period of time. As for the greed and desire of people in the future, that will be a matter in the future. Zheng Ziming has not yet had time to consider so long.

However, everything has advantages and disadvantages. With the decisive attack on the powerful, Zheng Ziming quickly controlled the place. He also quickly bought people's hearts with confiscated land and money. However, his disadvantages were completely exposed due to insufficient talent reserves.
