The Romance of a Gentleman in the Sui and Tang Dynasties Chapter 453 One of them is better at managing affairs, and the other is better at breaking things
Chapter 453 One of them is better at managing affairs, and the other is better at breaking things
Chapter 453
The two of them saw a young, tall, elegant-faced official in red clothes standing on the pier not far away.
There were several attendants around him pointing in this direction, and from time to time passing boatmen and people would salute the young official.
The young officials nodded one by one and asked questions cordially.
"That's my official." Su Huwei replied loudly, pointing to Yang Qian who was communicating cordially with the people on the pier.
"Sir, the ship has arrived..." Changsun Wuji pointed to a large ship approaching.
When Yang Qian saw the people leaving, he raised his head and saw two rather tall middle-aged scribes standing on the bow of the ship.
But at this moment, these two men were looking at him with dumbfounded expressions, which made Yang Qian look at his clothes in confusion.
"Changsun, do you think there's anything wrong with my outfit?"
"Of course not, that's because you are a dignified third-grade Jiangdu prefect.
He actually came to the pier in person to greet them, who have low status, so naturally they were frightened."
"..." Yang Qian saw Changsun Wuji's somewhat disgusted look and touched his nose in embarrassment.
Isn't he following the example of the ancients? For the sake of these talented people, Cao Cao, an old driver, knew how to follow suit.
Although there is no way to do it in such vulgar ways, at any rate, we must adopt etiquette that is more in line with the desire for talents and the politeness of corporals.
After a short meeting, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling turned around and informed their families, then got off the boat as soon as it docked at the dock and hurried over.
"Wei Fangqiao from Xicheng County and Du Ruhui from Fuyang County have met Yang Jiangdu."
Yang Qian returned the gift and helped the two future prime ministers with a smile.
"You two don't need to be polite, please come quickly. I have heard about the reputation of the two county captains before, and after asking around, I found out where they are."
"Fortunately, neither of the two superior officers were in trouble, so Yang was able to recruit these two talented people into his employ."
Yang Qian's eyes turned and fell on the young guard Su, he nodded and smiled.
"Dingfang, you have worked hard. You did a good job on this trip. Go back to see your father first and have a good rest. After two days, you will come back to the mansion to take charge."
"Yes, I will obey your orders." Young Su Dingfang was overjoyed and quickly agreed loudly.
#####
Looking at Su Dingfang's back as he left happily, Yang Qian nodded with satisfaction. This guy was about the same age as Luo Shixin.
However, his personality is more calm than Luo Shixin's, and he is very good at doing things and has a lot of eyes.
With courage and strategy, it is no wonder that he will become the pillar of the Tang Dynasty in the future after the Zhenguan Dynasty and conquered the country from east to west.
Changsun Wuji stepped forward. The chubby guy smiled very approachably.
"You two, hurry up and invite us. Your residence has been arranged long before you come. These drivers will take your family members directly to your residence."
"In addition, the young master has explained before that he specially asked you two to travel together, which is equivalent to getting to know your colleagues in advance."
"Young Master..." Du Ruhui looked at the fat young man in shock, and then at Yang Qian who was communicating with Fang Xuanling not far away.
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but smile and nodded when he saw Du Ruhui's strange look.
"Yes, I am Yang Jiangdu's long-term follower, not an official."
"That's it." Du Ruhui nodded suddenly.
#####
When Yang Qian entered the city, he chatted cordially with them and told them to get used to it in Jiangdu first.
After five days, he came to the prefect's mansion to report so that he could assign work to them.
"Young master, you really have a unique vision. These two have extraordinary conversational skills and calm demeanor. They are both worthy talents."
Yang Qian still felt a hint of jealousy from Changsun Wuji's tone and expression.
It's right to think about it. The reason why Changsun Wuji became one of his own was more like boarding a pirate ship.
But these two were brought to Jiangdu through their own connections, and their starting points were different.
So Yang Qian felt that he needed to explain to Changsun Wuji.
"The two of them are different from you. You are better at strategic changes.
And among them, one is good at managing affairs, and the other is good at judging affairs. They are all rare talents in our Sui Dynasty."
After hearing Yang Qian's explanation, Changsun Wuji seemed to feel a little better.
At least, my identity as the number one conspirator around Yang Jiangdu was saved.
"Such a talented person should be recruited under his command."
"Having said that, there are some things that can only be done quietly." Yang Qian nodded and said helplessly.
Fortunately, after several operations, he has gathered a lot of talented people under his command.
Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Xu Shiji, Niu Jinda, Luo Shixin, Du Fuwei, Fugong'er, Hou Junji...
Yang Qian stretched his fingers for a long time and then he was surprised to find that the only civil servant he could trust was Changsun Wuji, and he was also a fat man.
As for Du Ruhui and Fang Qiao, I'm afraid they need to be in contact with each other for a period of time before they can be used as their own.
But in terms of military affairs, they can be considered to be full of fierce generals.
This does not include Su Yong, Su Dingfang and his son, Li Zitong and others who came here before.
It is precisely because of having so many seeds of famous generals that Yang Qian was able to single-handedly control Huainan and Antai, the land south of the Yangtze River.
#####
In the blink of an eye, Yang Qian and Li Xiuning had been married for ten days, and the two families finally gathered together again to have a good meal.
Because in two days, they will have to rush back to Dongdu and continue to perform their respective duties.
Li Shimin once again obtained his parents' consent and stayed with Yang Qian.
This made Li Shimin very excited, and he ran out with a smile on his face. Yang Qian didn't know why this little brat was so excited.
Mr. Dou kept his eyes red and didn't know what to say to Li Xiuning. He wiped the corners of his eyes after saying a few words.
Yang Qian was very unhappy when he looked like he was about to say goodbye. He wouldn't abuse your daughter. Besides, if there was to be a fight, I'm no match for your daughter. Why are you crying?
Fortunately, my father-in-law, Li Yuan, was more considerate and happily comforted Yang Qian.
"Son-in-law, don't pay attention. Your mother-in-law is like this. She gets easily excited. Come on, come on, let's keep drinking."
At the end of the drinking, all the children and their families left, leaving only Yang Qian, a wise son-in-law who had been drinking all afternoon and could not finish a glass of wine, waiting on the two elders.
"Now, the only peaceful place in the world is Jiangnan. I really want to bring my wife and children to this scenic spot and live in peace for the rest of my life..."
"What did my father-in-law say? You are still young and have a long life, so we have to discuss it after you reach the age of sixty."
"Hmph... forget it, don't say it. I just hope that your majesty can wake up soon and consolidate the Sui Dynasty, otherwise..."
Yang Qian looked at Li Yuan's face that was full of disappointment and loss, and glanced at his silent father.
It seems that everyone can see clearly that the general trend of the world will develop like this, but some people are unwilling to wake up and see the truth clearly.
