"Zuo Ci?" Gao Fei couldn't help being surprised. He didn't expect that the old magician in front of him was actually Zuo Ci.
"It's me!" Zuo Ci said gently with a kind look on his face.
Gao Fei knew that Zuo Ci was an alchemist in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The biography of Fang Shu in the Later Han Dynasty was recorded. Moreover, this person also appeared in Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and once played a trick on Cao Cao. Moreover, in the history of Taoism, Dan Shu during the Eastern Han Dynasty was
Ding sect Taoism was passed down from Zuo Ci.
Looking at the old magician in front of him...oh no, he should be called a historical celebrity, Gao Fei couldn't help but feel a little happy. He changed his disdainful expression and said gently: "Junior Gao Fei, I have met Mr. Zuo."
"If you don't dare to be a gentleman, please call me by my courtesy name. The Chinese character "I" is Yuanfang."
"Isn't this not good?"
"Haha, the noble man is the reincarnation of Ziwei Emperor Star. I am just a cultivator. Compared with the noble man, I am much inferior." Zuo Ci said with a smile.
Gao Fei listened to what Zuo Ci said was impressive. He ignored the Ziwei Emperor Star. Anyway, he believed that he would definitely control the world in the future. He smiled and said: "Okay, Mr. Yuan Fang, this iron
Is Mr. the only one left in the factory?"
Zuo Ci nodded and said: "The rest of the people have dispersed. As soon as the Tian family's power in Pingguo fell, everyone in the iron factory ran away. I usually hide in the mountains and forests, but now the people in the iron factory have escaped.
This place has also become a wasteland, and many wild animals live in the factory. I have nothing to do, so I live in the iron factory temporarily, occasionally smelting iron, and passing the time. However, I am not very good at it, so I will
This iron factory is completely black."
After Gao Fei heard this, he smiled and said: "At first I thought Mr. Yuan Fang was from Tianjiabao. I offended you so much just now. Please forgive me!"
Zuo Ci said: "It doesn't matter. Although I am a Taoist, I also have a compassionate heart. However, the power of the Tian family is too great in Liaodong, and I cannot bring it down by myself. So, I am listening.
After the nobles overthrew the Tian family's power, they were shocked."
"Mr. Yuanfang, from now on, there will be no more suffering people in Liaodong. This iron factory will be operational again, and I will also make use of the gifts given by Mr. Yuanfang. Although Liaodong is not a paradise, it may become a paradise from now on.
It is a pure land, and there are many mountains and rivers in the territory. It is better for Mr. Yuan Fang to stay in Liaodong to practice Taoism. Wouldn't it be wonderful for us to meet each other sooner or later?" Zuo Ci gave Gao Fei a big gift, and he naturally wanted to thank Zuo Ci, and even more
If you want to keep Zuo Ci, you can borrow the ancient people's fascination with immortals and use Zuo Ci to spread the news that he is the Ziwei Emperor Star. This is definitely an excellent opportunity to control people's hearts.
After listening to Gao Fei's warm invitation, Zuo Ci smiled and said: "I appreciate your kindness. I have been coming to Liaodong for a year just to give you this generous gift. Now the generous gift has been sent to you."
Yes, I can retire and continue to practice Taoism in Tianzhu Mountain. However, I and the nobleman are destined to meet each other again after many years. I hope that the nobleman will have become the overlord of the Central Plains by then, and I will not be in vain.
What a generous gift.”
Gao Fei said: "Mr. Yuanfang, the current situation in Liaodong is unstable. Although the Tian family has been eradicated, the people are still in confusion. I would like to invite Mr. Yuanfang to set up a forum in Xiangping to preach. It can be regarded as my right to
A kind of kindness from the common people. I wonder what Mr. Yuan Fang thinks of it?"
Zuo Ci thought for a while and felt that this was a good opportunity to become famous. He immediately agreed and said with a smile: "Since the noble man invites you so kindly, I can't be more respectful than to obey."
Later, Zuo Ci took Gao Fei, Zhao Yun, and Xun You into the valley to inspect the iron factory. The scale of the iron factory was not too large, and in a sense, the iron factory was still in a backward primitive state, and the fuel used
It's also something like charcoal.
After inspecting the iron plant, Gao Fei felt that he should vigorously improve the iron plant, turn it into a steelmaking plant, and use his familiar knowledge to transform the place. Not only that, even the fuel must be reused. There are many iron plants in this area.
He wants to use his ability to explore all the basic mineral resources in the counties of Liaodong for coal mines and iron mines, and then carry out mining and smelting.
After coming out of the iron factory, Zuo Ci rode on a donkey that came from nowhere and said that he would take Gao Fei to dig for wealth and get to know the location...
A few days later, Gao Fei, Zhao Yun, Xun You and Zuo Ci returned to Xiangping. At this time, Xiangping city was already abuzz with people. People rushed to tell each other about the news that Tianjiabao had been eradicated, and they all rushed to Xiangping.
Ping Lai wanted to see what the prefect who helped them get rid of the bullies looked like. When they entered Xiangping City from outside Xiangping City, the people lined the streets to welcome him, vying to see Gao Fei and express their gratitude to Gao Fei.
After returning to the Prefect's Mansion, Gao Fei asked Zhao Yun to arrange for Zuo Ci to stay temporarily while he and Xun You entered the front hall of the Prefect's Mansion.
"My lord, now that Tianjiabao's forces have been eliminated, and the remaining party members are secretly hunting for them, it is estimated that the entire Liaodong will be completely calm in less than a month, and the people of Liaodong will be doubly grateful to my lord. However, the top priority now is to re-appoint the county.
Official positions at all levels within the government can not only stabilize people's hearts, but also stabilize the situation in Liaodong." Xun You followed Gao Fei as he walked.
Gao Fei nodded and said: "You are right. The affairs in Tianjiapu are just a small matter. How to manage the hundreds of thousands of people in Liaodong and stabilize the county is a big deal. However, we must not take the appointment of officials lightly.
, although the official position of the county magistrate is small, it is very important. If the person is appointed properly, it will benefit the people. If the important things are not done properly, it will bring harm to the people. However, most of my subordinates are military men.
People of this background can lead troops and fight, but it is a bit overwhelming to ask them to manage the people and handle daily government affairs. Mr. Xun, do you have any good ideas?"
Unknowingly, the two of them had entered the front hall. Gao Fei sat directly at the top and motioned for Xun You to sit down too.
After Xun You sat down, he cupped his hands and said: "My lord, my subordinates think that Zhang He, Zhao Yun, Pang De, Liao Hua, Hu Yu and Xia Houlan can all serve as county magistrates.
The Xiangping Order only went to eight counties in this way. There are eleven counties in Liaodong County, and the remaining three counties. In the opinion of his subordinates, the lord can select them from the surrendered officials. Now that the Tian family has fallen, they have already
Without support, under the general trend, they will inevitably come to the Lord's side wholeheartedly. As long as the Lord uses kindness and power and sends supervisors to inspect from time to time, they will definitely be able to supervise them to handle government affairs well."
"Sir's suggestion is good. Let's do what you want. Appoint Zhang He, Zhao Yun and others as county magistrates, and let them each bring a hundred soldiers of the Feiyu Army to serve as county government officials. They can also be regarded as a guard against lawless people.
Deterrence. As for the army, I will train it myself. However, you cannot be a county magistrate and must be in charge of Xiangping. Before leaving, Mr. Jia once said that your talent is enough to assist me in Liaodong and make Liaodong stable.
.So, I am going to let you serve as a merit officer and postal supervisor, and supervise all counties in the county."
"I obey my orders!"
"In addition, in the next two days, I have ordered someone to build a forum on the hill outside the city. I am going to ask Zuo Ci to open the forum and speak, and invite all the people from the surrounding fifty miles to come and listen."
"promise!"
"Also, I would like to trouble you, sir, to count all the fields in Liaodong during this period, and distribute them to the people according to households within a period of time, so that everyone has a field to cultivate, and all the people will be given two months of grain and some money.
.Half of the people's grease collected from Tianjiapu should be returned to the people in the county. The taxes will be reduced for one year, so that the people can live a happy life in this year. It is not in vain that I, the governor of Liaodong, have done my job in vain.
."
After hearing this, Xun You kept nodding his head. After Gao Fei finished speaking, he cupped his hands and said, "My lord cares about the people. He is really a benevolent lord. If Gongda can follow my lord, this life will be enough."
"Haha, okay, Mr. Xun, you are tired too. Go back and rest early. I will write a letter of appointment tomorrow. You will copy it and publish it. Then we can start to officially establish a foothold in Liaodong!" Gao Fei said with a smile.
.
Xun You bowed and retreated: "My subordinates, please retire!"
When Gao Fei saw Xun You leaving, he stood up, turned around and walked into the back hall. During this period, he had been worrying about eradicating Tianjia Fort every day. Now that Tianjia Fort has been eradicated, he can breathe a sigh of relief.
, began to truly rule in Liaodong.
Entering the inner hall, Gao Fei looked intently and saw Ouyang Yinying waiting in the corridor. As soon as he showed up, he saw Ouyang Yinying kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to him.
"Xiaoying? What are you doing? Get up, get up!" Gao Fei hurriedly stepped forward and helped Ouyang Yinying up.
Ouyang Yinying cried and said: "My lord has avenged Xiaoying. Xiaoying is grateful to you. I really don't know how to repay you..."
Gao Fei smiled and said: "If you really want to repay me, just study hard with Mr. Xun. After you finish your studies, you can join my think tank and work for me."
Ouyang Yinying said: "Xiaoying will definitely not let you down..."
"Haha, that's good." Gao Fei stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on Ouyang Yinying's face and asked, "Where is your sister?"
"Sister knows that the Lord is back and is dressing up in the room. She said that she wants to show her most beautiful side to the Lord!" Ouyang Yinying laughed through her tears and replied slowly.
Gao Fei said: "Haha, then I'd like to go take a look. Xiaoying, have you read Sun Tzu's Art of War that I asked your sister to give you a few days ago? If you haven't read it, go read it quickly and don't waste it.
Studies!”
"Xiaoying has been studying for a long time..." Ouyang Yinying suddenly stopped talking. She was smart and only rolled her eyes slightly before she understood. She smiled at Gao Fei and immediately leaned forward and said: "Yes, Xiaoying
Now go back to your room and read."
Gao Fei watched Ouyang Yinying leave, took a few steps forward, turned around and pushed the door open and entered his room. As soon as the door was opened, he smelled a strong aroma, but saw Diao Chan sitting quietly.
At the bedside. He smiled, closed the door, and walked straight to the bed. However, he accidentally saw a letter on the table with his name written on it, and asked: "Diaochan, who is this?"
For me?"
Diao Chan said: "Hu Yu brought it back yesterday..."
"Hu Yu is back?" Gao Fei has not heard from Jia Xu since Jia Xu left. When he heard that Hu Yu was back, he wanted to ask for news about Jia Xu.
