The daily training in the army is also in full swing. Now the training of each regiment is separated. Under Jia Rong's instigation, they compete with each other. The enthusiasm of the soldiers for training is extremely high. The number of upper-class soldiers, lower-class soldiers and middle-class soldiers is roughly
Quite literally, which battalion has more superior soldiers has recently become the target of competition among soldiers from various regiments.
After the expansion, the Xiliang Army's strength reached 80,000, 20,000 of which were newly recruited last winter and lacked battlefield experience. However, under the guidance of veterans, the training effect was very good. After being tempered by the fire of war,
Can become an elite person.
In the general's mansion, Jia Rong took the list of new officials handed over by Zhang Zhao and looked at it carefully. This selection of talents was different from the past. The pacification of Liangzhou required a large number of officials to go and govern. The county governors and magistrates were all selected from this list.
, one has to be cautious.
Suddenly, one of the names caught Jia Rong's attention.
"Pass it to Master Zhang!"
After a cup of tea, Zhang Zhao hurried over under the leadership of Zhao Li. Now is the busy time of spring. Liangzhou is full of waste and is waiting for prosperity. Zhang Zhao and Zhang Li are busy all day long.
Looking at Zhang Zhao, who had dark eyes and a haggard look, Jia Rong said with concern: "Zibu, besides handling official duties, you must take good care of your body."
"Thank you for your concern, my lord, I'm in good health."
"No matter how heavy the official duties are, they are more important than Zibu's health. Don't play with it. If your body collapses, what will the hundreds of thousands of people in Liangzhou Sanfu do?" Jia Rong said solemnly.
Zhang Zhao was so moved that he worshiped: "No!"
"Zibu, tell me, who is Chen Qun, the magistrate of Pingxiang?" Pingxiang was once the city where the Xiliang army resisted Han Sui's tens of thousands of rebels. It is of great significance. It is natural that Zhang Zhao can appoint him as the magistrate of this place.
He is a man of extraordinary ability.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Zhao replied: "Chen Qun is from Yingchuan. After considering his humble position, he found that he has good talents, so he was appointed as the county magistrate. However, in three months, the local governance was in order, so he was appointed as the county magistrate.
Appointed as Pingxiang Order."
"Yingchuan, Chen Qun." Jia Rong stood up excitedly, "Quickly send this person to see me."
Zhang Zhao didn't understand why Jia Rong was so excited, and said with a wry smile: "My lord, this is a shameful job. Chen Qun is working in another place. Even if he rushes back, it will take some time."
Jia Rong shook his head and smiled: "I lost my temper."
"In less than three days, my lord will be able to meet Chen Qun himself. Chen Qun was previously the magistrate of Niyang County. He had outstanding political achievements and was transferred to the magistrate of Pingxiang County. These days are the time when county magistrates from all over the country come to Chang'an to take charge of their duties."
Jia Rong nodded repeatedly, but his heart flew to Chen Qun. The Xiliang army was strong, but there were few capable people to govern the place. No matter how powerful Zhang Zhao and Zhang Li were, they were still two people, students from the school.
It is okay to manage a land of hundreds of miles in a short period of time, but the ability of the county governor and state pastor is insufficient.
Three days later, Jia Rong made a rare appearance at the place where civil servants were conducting official business, which excited all the officials. It was not easy for the Lord to take time out of his busy schedule to come.
Of course Zhang Zhao knew why Jia Rong came here, and shook his head slightly in secret. Chen Qun, in terms of talent, there are many people in the Xiliang army who can compare with him, but Jia Rong came here regardless of his status.
"My lord, please wait a moment, Chen Qun will be here shortly." Zhang Zhao bowed slightly and said.
Jia Rong kept looking in the direction of the door. Zhang Zhao walked boringly to the place where official duties were handled. He was in charge of heavenly punishment and responsible for the dispatch of Xiliang army officials. Zhang Zhao also became a busy man. He was constantly working all day long.
Night shift hours.
About half an hour later, a guard came to report, "Sir, County Magistrate Chen Qunchen is outside the mansion asking for an audience."
Jia Rong stood up and said, "Please come quickly!"
The soldier glanced at Jia Rong in surprise. Nono said yes, turned around and walked out the door. The person Jia Rong had personally told to meet as soon as possible must be an extremely important person.
Zhang Zhao couldn't help but walked to Jia Rong and persuaded in a low voice: "My lord, Chen Qun is just a county magistrate, and my lord is a general. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to belittle your own status like this."
Jia Rong also woke up and said with a smile: "Thanks to Zibu's words, you can deal with Chen Qun's matter, I will just watch from the side."
Zhang Zhao nodded in agreement, but he had the idea of taking Chen Qun's test in his heart. The person who can be favored by the lord is definitely not an easy person. For Jia Rong, who has never met Chen Qun but can judge Chen Qun's talent, Zhang Zhao
Zhao is no stranger to it. He is able to create a series of strange objects such as glass fairy love and wine. Can he use common sense to judge this?
"Chen Qun, a humble official, pays homage to Mr. Zhang!"
Jia Rong sat in a position below Zhang Zhao, not conspicuous. He looked closely at Chen Qun in the field, and saw this man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He was dressed in official clothes. He was dignified yet free and easy.
Prefer Confucian scholars.
"Master Chen, please wake up." Zhang Zhao said calmly.
Chen Qun bowed his head and said yes, and then he had time to look around. Jia Rong was the only one who stared at Chen Qun closely, and it was difficult not to attract attention.
Chen Qun smiled slightly.
"Master Chen, I see that you are very organized in your management of the place. The people under your rule live and work in peace and contentment. Especially during the winter snowstorm, you were able to organize the people to survive the cold winter and lead the people to reclaim tens of thousands of acres of fields. Your achievements are commendable!" Zhang Zhao picked up the
The copywriter read.
"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty. I am able to manage the place well because the general has completely settled Liangzhou. It can only be said that it is the general's contribution. I am just pushing the boat along."
Zhang Zhaowei nodded his head, taking credit without being arrogant. Such talents are what all monarchs need. Jia Rong has the ability to recognize people, just like Jia Xu. He is just a small figure in an idle family, but he can gradually become a military advisor and hold a high position.
, Zhang Li also started from a young age.
"Sir Chen, please tell me, what should you do if you are asked to govern the land of Liangzhou?" Zhang Zhao saw Jia Rong, who was lowering his head, staring at Chen Qun with bright eyes, feeling slightly unhappy in his heart, and said.
"Sir, Liangzhou is barren, and Jincheng is governed by the general. Its prosperity is not inferior to that of the major counties in the mainland. Let's not mention it for the moment. The other nine counties, such as Dunhuang, Zhangye and other places in the north, have experienced wars many times. The people are in dire straits. I have heard that the general is humble.
It is said to be "for the benefit of the people", so everything must start from the people, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment without worrying about food and clothing." Chen Qun was not afraid of the stage, and said calmly: "The people, what they want is just food and clothing.
, the general implemented benevolent policies in the land of Liangzhou, and only needed to follow this path to govern the people. However, it is even more difficult to have the prosperity of the land of Jincheng. Without decades of stability, it will not be easy.
"
Chen Qun couldn't help but admire Jia Rong's methods for Jincheng's ability to get rid of poverty and achieve its current situation. When Jia Rong ordered to gather the refugees who were pouring in from all over the country, Chen Qun was a little unbelievable. When Liangzhou showed its strength after a winter
The changes are astonishing.
"Master Chen's words deeply touched my heart. I don't know how you can benefit the people." Jia Rong couldn't help but asked.
Chen Qun thought that Jia Rong was an official under Zhang Zhao, so he raised his hand to Jia Rong and said: "To benefit the people, in short, is to win the hearts and minds of the people for the Xiliang Army and gain the support of the people. It was like the general recruiting troops before. Why can he do it?"
There are so many followers because the general has enough prestige in the hearts of the people. His words and deeds affect the people. There are many ways to achieve welfare. For example, Jincheng provides jobs for the people to earn extra money to supplement their families. Soldiers work during their busy farming days.
Help the people in farming, and so on."
Jia Rong laughed and said: "Master Chen is indeed a wonderful man. If the land of Sanfu is entrusted to you to govern, will you be qualified to do it? You can't just talk about it."
Chen Qun's body sluggished slightly. Faced with such a provocation, the scholar's unyielding spirit burst out instantly: "My lord, let alone the land of Sanfu, even the land of Liangzhou, I am confident that I can manage it properly."
Zhang Zhao heard this and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense."
Jia Rong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Heroes have been born since ancient times. If Mr. Chen has such ambitions, I will help you. From now on, you will govern the land of Sanfu."
The moment Zhang Zhao scolded him, Chen Qun realized Jia Rong's extraordinary ability. He was able to interrupt when Zhang Zhao was speaking. His status was obviously higher than Zhang Zhao's. In addition, this man regarded himself as a general, so he was obviously a member of the Xiliang Army.
Bit.
"I'm humble and disrespectful. I've offended the general. Please forgive me, general!" Chen Qun knelt on the ground.
Jia Rong walked up to Chen Qun and helped him up, "Master Chen is a genius in governing the country. It is not difficult to govern the land of Sanfu. It's just that there are more than 100,000 refugees in Chang'an. It's not a trivial matter or something you don't understand."
Please ask Mr. Zhang for advice."
Chen Qun paid homage: "Thanks to the general's trust, I dare not work hard."
Jia Rong patted Chen Qun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Chen has such ambition, it is very good. I will hold a banquet at the General's Mansion for you all today."
All the officials looked happy, especially the lower-ranking officials. It was not easy to see Jia Rong. It would be such a great sight to go to the General's Mansion for a banquet. However, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Jia Rong was doing it for Chen Qun.
To establish his power, in the final analysis, Chen Qun's foundation in the Xiliang army was too shallow.
It was evening, the general's mansion was brightly lit, and there was endless music.
Jia Rong raised his glass frequently, and his subordinates felt relieved when they found officials like Chen Qun. Zhang Zhao and others understood and kept congratulating Chen Qun. No matter how high Chen Qun's drinking capacity was, he could not withstand the hard work of these veterans of the wine shop.
Bubble.
What was even more gratifying was that the young man next to Chen Qun had a slightly pale face and lively eyes. Jia Rong recognized him at a glance as the young Confucian scholar from Shuijing Villa.
It was Guo Jia who was greedy for wine. When he heard that Jia Rong was hosting a banquet for officials at the General's Mansion, he couldn't help but come with Chen Qun.
After drinking to his heart's content, Jia Rong slightly gestured to Zhao Yun beside him.
"Everyone, be quiet. You are in Liangzhou. I'm afraid you have tasted wine?" Jia Rong asked.
Everyone in the venue nodded, but in their hearts they couldn't compliment the taste of the wine. Only a few people had a nostalgic look on their faces.
"The wine has a sweet color, aroma, and bitterness, which is very similar to life. General Zhao will bring wine for you to taste later."
