On the second day, the news that Li Xiuyuan was the governor of Yangzhou was posted in various county towns and yamen.
Immediately, he became famous in Yangzhou.
However, what Li Xiuyuan wants to do is not to make Yangzhou famous, but to shock Xiaoxiao.
He had offended many people when he was a guerrilla general. In order to prevent those people from jumping out and causing trouble when he went to Beijing to report on his duties, he had to make an announcement first.
In this way, I believe some people in Yangzhou will feel more at ease.
And on the third day.
Li Xiuyuan recruited civil servants and began to review officials from various places.
In fact, Li Linfu already had a book of indictments in his hand, recording the crimes and merits of officials and county magistrates from various places. If his official position was too low to touch those county magistrates before, otherwise he would have eliminated all the weak officials in various places, but now
not late.
"Before I go to Beijing, I want three lists, a list of dismissed officials who are incompetent, a list of substitutes for vacant officials from various places, and a list of military personnel who have made contributions. The first list is compiled by Li Linfu, and the second list is compiled by Li Linfu.
For the first roster, please Ning Caichen, please work harder. For the third roster, Wang
Brother, you have to work harder."
On this day, Li Xiuyuan invited many colleagues to gather together at his residence.
As a ghost, Li Linfu was completely unnoticed when he was sitting among the crowd. Others only thought that this old gentleman was Li Xiuyuan's staff. He was very knowledgeable, skilled in government affairs, and respected.
"Brother Li, don't worry, Xiaosheng and everyone will be able to complete it if we work together."
"This is easy. I've been making preparations for it a few days ago, just for this time."
Ning Caichen and Wang Ping are both Zhengse Taoists.
Li Xiuyuan said: "I am afraid that the busy government affairs will delay your imperial examination. I will recommend you to the imperial court as the prefect of Jinling and the prefect of Guobeicheng. As for the prefect of Yangzhou, I don't know if Mr. Duan is interested?"
After speaking, he looked at Duan Wenruo, who was working with Yan Jin.
He is Fu Tianchou's aide. He is a Jinshi and has a good reputation. He just doesn't know why he is willing to become an aide. Maybe he has some friendship with Fu Tianchou.
Duan Wenruo was surprised and said: "How can I be the prefect of a place without making any merits?"
"There is nothing you can't do. Li Bing, the governor of Yangzhou, and Li Liangjin are uncles and nephews. Now that Li Liangjin has rebelled, he will definitely be executed. This position is vacant. If you don't go, who will go? Besides, Yangzhou is an important place and needs an experienced person to take charge. Mr. Duan
Having handled government affairs for many years, I believe that I am qualified to be the governor of Yangzhou.
Difficult." Li Xiuyuan said.
Duan Wenruo was a little flattered and said: "Mr. Li's talent is ten times better than mine. Who is more suitable to govern Yangzhou than Mr. Li?"
He was referring to Li Linfu.
Li Linfu squinted his eyes and laughed: "I am getting old. Being an official is just a shame. I still want to live a few more years, but I don't want to worry about it anymore."
He is an old ghost who has practiced Taoism for hundreds of years. Although he can still be an official if he hides it well, he has more important things.
The concept of co-governance of humans and gods was about to be promoted. He wanted to help Li Xiuyuan appoint city gods and land gods in various places, and capture all evil ghosts and evil gods. This kind of thing would be more meaningful than being an official.
If he succeeds as an official, he will just leave his name in history, but if he does his job well, he will become an immortal and attain enlightenment.
The two cannot be compared.
"Wen Ruo, don't shirk it. It's rare that this boy still has some conscience. He recommends you as the magistrate of Yangzhou. You are not the magistrate. If he randomly appoints a young man, wouldn't he miss the important event of the court?" At this time,
A powerful voice suddenly sounded, and a man with a beard appeared
The grizzled middle-aged man strode in.
He was wearing prisoner's clothes, his hair was messy and had not been combed for several days, and he was followed by two beautiful women.
"I've met Mr. Fu." Many people stood up and saluted.
"Xiaoqian" Ning Caichen looked at Fu Qingfeng behind Fu Tianchou, his eyes showed a bit of surprise, but then dimmed again.
I almost forgot again, Miss Qingfeng is not Xiaoqian.
Xiaoqian has been reincarnated, and if we count the time, she is just a baby at most.
"Master Fu." Li Xiuyuan also stood up and gave a salute out of courtesy.
"Brother-in-law." Fu Yuechi chuckled and called.
Fu Tianchou glared: "I don't understand etiquette."
Fu Yuechi stuck out his tongue and then retracted it.
"Master Fu, isn't he staying in the cell? Why are you free to visit today?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
Fu Tianchou said: "I ask you, is it true that you became the governor of Yangzhou?"
"How can there be any lies when the imperial edict is issued? It's a big deal if Mr. Fu doesn't believe it." Li Xiuyuan reached out and grabbed the imperial edict from his sleeve and took out the imperial edict.
Fu Tianqiu took a look at the imperial edict. There was no mistake. It was indeed the imperial edict. The handwriting exposed in the corner was also his familiar handwriting. However, he still looked at Li Xiuyuan suspiciously: "If there is an imperial edict from the imperial court, then I don't have it."
Thank you for your opinion. After all, you have made great contributions. Your Majesty’s reward is
Although it is a bit heavier, it is still in compliance with the rules. When do you plan to enter Beijing?"
Li Xiuyuan said: "Within ten days."
"Okay, I will wait for you for ten days. After ten days, you will send someone to escort me, the criminal, to the capital. There is no need to send him away. I will go back to the prison and wait." Fu Tianchou then turned around and left angrily.
""This old man is very willful.
At this time, Fu Qingfeng bowed with a look of shame on his face and said: "Master Li, my father's temper has always been like this. Please don't take offense to me. My father is just a little worried about coming here this time."
"I know that from a guerrilla general to the governor of Yangzhou, there is something fishy about being promoted too quickly. I am aware of Mr. Fu's concerns," Li Xiuyuan said.
"Brother-in-law, I will take you to eat delicious food when you get to the capital. I know that the food in many restaurants is very delicious." Fu Yuechi said happily, looking greedy.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll treat you then. You can eat whatever you want."
"Hehe, it's settled. My sister is leaving. My father said that we can't see each other until we get married. My father will be unhappy after staying for a long time." Fu Yuechi said peaceably and pulled Fu Qingfeng away.
Fu Qingfeng blushed, bowed her head and bowed, then left quickly.
"Let's continue our discussion." Li Xiuyuan watched them leave and then returned to his seat and said.
As the governor of Yangzhou, there are many things involved in governing a state.
Moreover, he has few people under his command. Even Wang Ping was sent out to be the prefect.
However, this is also a reward for their hard work, and Li Xiuyuan also believes that they are more than qualified for the position of prefect. After all, after so many years of tempering, they are no longer scholars who don't understand anything.
It was not until midnight that Li Xiuyuan said goodbye to everyone.
Feeling a little tired, I returned to the bedroom to rest.
"The appointments of city gods in various places have been arranged for a long time. Although it has been affected by the war, we can just follow the previous appointments. The co-governance of humans and gods can also be implemented. The book of life and death in Yangzhou is already in my hands. There is no need to worry about those who do evil.
You can't stand the punishment, so I need to trouble you more." Li Xiuyuan said.
Li Linfu smiled and said: "This is what a kid should do."
"That's good. I'll go back and rest. I still have things to deal with tomorrow." Li Xiuyuan said.
Li Linfu bowed and stopped disturbing his rest, and disappeared.
