Han Qian's mood was up and down. He didn't sleep well all night. He got up early in the morning and practiced boxing. He didn't go out before noon. He was thinking about secret Cao Zuosi's plan in the house and what strategy he should use to fight with Xinchang Houfu.
Only by cooperating with him can the imperial court transfer his father out of Jinling to serve in a local area as soon as possible.
He delayed it until the afternoon and asked Zhao Kuo and others to escort him to the Linjiang Marquis Mansion to help prepare for the wedding.
Li Zhigao saw Han Qian coming to Linjiang Marquis Mansion, so he pulled him aside and said: "The governor of Xuzhou, Wang Yu, died of illness while taking office. However, no one is willing to take up the post. The officials have been hesitating about this matter for some time.
I don’t know if Mr. Han has this intention..."
During the Kaiyuan period of the previous dynasty, Jiangnan Road was divided into Jiangnan East Road, Jiangnan West Road and Central Guizhou Road. Xuzhou was located at the junction of Jiangnan West Road and Central Guizhou Road.
Even in today's world when Jiangnan has been fully developed, Xuzhou is still a barbaric land.
Although the Central Guizhou region to the west and south of Xuzhou was also included in the territory of Dachu, its territory was all Jisi Prefecture, and the previous dynasty had never effectively brought it under the control of the central government.
The important positions of governor and governor in the states in central Guizhou were hereditary and were held by local indigenous leaders. At this time, they only paid some symbolic tribute to Jinling every year.
The situation in Xuzhou is slightly better than that of the states in central Guizhou, but not much better. Except for the governor and other major officials who accept the appointment of the imperial court, the local Yifan indigenous forces are still very powerful and are in a semi-autonomous state.
.
In addition to the mixed population of Yi and feudal lords, Xuzhou has complicated people's sentiments. It has high mountains and dangerous rivers, and miasma is everywhere. In the previous dynasty, it was really feared by people, and it was a place where officials would be demoted only if they made mistakes.
However, at this time, the Chu State only had fifty-one states under its jurisdiction. The governor of a state, no matter how remote it was, was still in short supply and was fought over by countless people. How could no one be willing to take the post?
It should be that there is a lack of governor of Xuzhou, and the competition between several forces has been in a stalemate for many days, so there is no conclusion yet.
Han Qian believed that Li Pu and the others would have to pay a considerable price if they wanted to win this position. However, the fact that they decided to let his father take over the position so quickly must have been a catalyst for what happened yesterday.
Xuzhou is a bit remote, but apart from not being qualified to pick the fat and the thin, sometimes being remote is not necessarily a bad thing. Han Qian cupped his hands towards Li Zhigao and said:
"Thank you very much, Marquis Yu, for helping me with the matter. I will give you an answer when Han Qian returns to his house at night to report to his father."
"That's easy to say. This is the time of the Fourth War. Mr. Han has the talent to manage the world and manage the local area. It is not unreasonable to go to the palace to pay homage to the prime minister one day." Li Zhigao laughed and said.
Facing Li Zhigao's expectations, Han Qian just smiled, thinking that the third prince Yang Yuanpu had a weak foundation. However, there were less than four years left. If he didn't have the courage and consciousness to take every step that followed, he would have wanted to start from the beginning.
Prince, the chance of King Xin seizing the throne is really slim.
"There was quite a commotion in your house yesterday!" At this time, Feng Yi, Kong Xirong, and Li Chong walked out of the house. When they saw Han Qian and Li Zhigao standing at the intersection talking, they immediately sneaked over to talk.
"What happened in my house yesterday?" Han Qian asked with a smile.
Han Jun and Han Duan used horses to transport the body of the evil slave Niu Erdan out of the Han residence yesterday, and left with hatred. It was still dark at that time.
In the capital, one person was killed by an arrow, and three others had their right arms broken. Even if they were all soldiers of the Han family, there was no way the military envoy patrolling the streets would not stop him and question him when he saw them.
No matter what excuses Han Jun or Han Duan find to excuse themselves, it is impossible not to cause a disturbance.
However, Han Qian didn't want to explain too much and asked Feng Yi instead.
Li Chong stared at Han Qian. Seeing that Han Qian was unwilling to say anything, he felt secretly resentful. However, he had no way to pry Han Qian's mouth. He asked what happened in the Han family's house yesterday, which made Han Qian indulge in slaves and kill people, so that he came to visit.
Han Jun, the eldest son of Han Daoming, left in such an embarrassing state with hatred?
Li Zhigao saw that Han Qian was already calm and calm after just one night, and he secretly admired him. He thought that such a character should be able to accomplish something by taking charge of a film for the third prince.

Li Chong took Feng Yi and Kong Xirong away, and Han Qian followed Li Zhigao to meet the third prince Yang Yuanpu.
Han Qian believed Li Zhigao. Li Chong had already found an opportunity to tell Yang Yuanpu about many things that happened yesterday. They had to avoid Guo Rong in the Hou Mansion. It was not easy for Song Xin and others to discuss matters. They needed to seize the time. He said straightforwardly.
:
"In order to establish Secretariat Zuosi without the eyes and ears of Anning Palace and King Xin, the government office can be secretly established in Qiuhu Mountain Villa; and the required manpower can be hired from the camp military mansion in the name of the villa's employees, including craftsmen and military disciples.
I want to train my brother; and the money and food needed should also be drawn from the transaction between the villa and the garrison military department, or it can ensure that others will not be alarmed..."
Han Qian has no control over the establishment of Chai Jian and the operation secretary Cao Yousi. He didn't sleep well last night until midnight. This morning, he has been thinking about how Zuosi will be organized and established, and he also wrote down some of his thoughts.
After coming down, he handed a few pages of manuscript to the third prince Yang Yuanpu to read.
Although the matter ultimately had to be settled by Chang Hou Li Pu and the black-shaded woman, Han Qian still wanted to develop the habit of having to go through the third prince Yang Yuanpu's eyes first.
To succeed, you first need people, and secondly, you need money and food.
Han Qian thought about how to arrange the family soldiers and their children in the house when his father really had the opportunity to serve as an official.
Han Qian advocated that Fan Xicheng, Zhao Kuo and the family soldiers who married hungry women years ago, as well as the sons of families like Lin Jingzong, should leave Jinling with their father and go to Xuzhou.
This will not only ensure that Guo Nuer and other family soldiers who came from hungry people have no basis to stay in Jinling, but can be loyal to him without being threatened. At the same time, those few family soldiers who are still staying in Jinling to follow him will also have children because they have heirs.
If he serves his father, he will not dare to betray him at will.
However, after the family soldiers and their children were allocated in this way, Han Qian only had more than thirty people available, which was far from enough to support Secret Cao Zuosi.
Moreover, no matter how much they trusted him, Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, and Yang Yuanpu, the third prince, would not agree to him using only his direct relatives in Secret Cao Zuosi.
Currently, there are 300 people employed in the villa's stone-burning kiln, and most of them are hired from the military households in the camp. Han Qian is considering hiring 200 people from the military government in the camp in the name of hiring craftsmen and craftsman apprentices. This should not disturb others.
As for money and food, of course, it can be secretly allocated by Xinchang Houfu or Wanhonglou, but Han Qian knows the importance of money and food.
The supply of money and food was controlled by Wanhonglou or Xinchanghoufu, so it was impossible for Secretary Zuosi to escape from the shadow of Wanhonglou and Xinchanghoufu and gain a status independent of the control of Wanhonglou.
Although the market price of lime has dropped sharply, the 150 tons of lime currently supplied to the camp by the villa every day is only half of the market price.
Han Qian thought that the Tunying Military Mansion would purchase lime from the villa at the market price in the future and gradually make up the previous price difference. In this way, Han Qian would be able to obtain a fixed surplus of three to four million yuan from the Tunying Military Mansion every year to maintain Secretary Zuo Si's
operations.
This not only prevents Wan Honglou or Marquis Xinchang from taking the lifeline of Secret Cao Zuosi, but also ensures that power is concentrated under the structure of General Longque's Mansion.
As for the internal operations of Secret Cao Zuosi, Han Qian hoped that he would have exclusive authority and would only be responsible and report to the third prince Yang Yuanpu.
Although Han Qian only spent one night thinking about these things, all aspects have been taken into account.
Xinchang Houfu and Wanhonglou also handed over the affairs around the third prince Yang Yuanpu to Li Zhigao. They immediately decided to allocate one million yuan to Cangcao to make up for the previous difference, and Han Qian would take care of it himself.
Recruiting men from the military households in the garrison.
The personnel selected by Secret Cao Zuosi do not need to be registered in the Military Bureau's Bing Cao, but the list of personnel needs to be handed over to Li Zhigao for personal control; no matter how generous and trustful he wants to be, it is impossible not to leave any checks and balances in place.
Li Zhigao added: "The people employed by Yousi will also prepare a list for you, Han Canjun!"
Han Qian nodded and saw that the eyes of the third prince Yang Yuanpu were also full of expectation. It seemed that the situation in front of him was really good. He sighed in his heart. Under the shadow or suppression of Emperor Tianyou, there is currently nothing alarming in Anning Palace.
Dan Po's sinister movements, or his vision is mainly focused on King Xin, but after showing his fangs, the situation will definitely not be as easy as it seems at the moment.
…………
…………
Han Qian received a military attache badge with a dragon-queen pattern engraved on it from the third prince Yang Yuanpu, then said goodbye and came out of Xiaoxiang Courtyard. At this time, people inside and outside the Hou Mansion started to decorate with lanterns and decorations. Four days later, the third prince Yang Yuanpu and the Marquis of Xinchang
The wedding day of the young daughter Li Yao.
Seeing the serious expressions of many people inside and outside, Han Qian smiled in his heart. The third prince Yang Yuanpu was much precocious than his peers, but the youngest daughter of Marquis Xinchang, Li Yao, was younger and had just turned ten during the Chinese New Year.
At the age of two, I don't know if she even knows the meaning of wedding.
At this time, Feng Yi came out of nowhere and asked furtively: "Why did His Highness call you here?"
"His Royal Highness saw that the stone kiln he assigned me to build was quite successful, and he also wanted me to help him buy a warehouse or something in the city. Maybe he wanted to put some spies into it in the future..." Han Qian said calmly.
Han Qian did not completely tell the truth, but he also never thought of completely hiding it from Feng Yi.
Although Feng Yi is not doing his job properly, he is not blind.
Unless Han Qian no longer has contact with Feng Yi, how can he hide it from Feng Yi if he has to do so many things in the future?
Hearing what Han Qian said, Feng Yi's eyes lit up and he lowered his voice and asked, "What can I do with Lao Kong?"
Han Qian had been teaching them the principle of hedging their bets intentionally or unintentionally during this period, and Feng Yi thought it was true.
Even if Feng Yi is working for the third prince Yang Yuanpu, he is only nineteen years old at this time and has only seven or eight servants to serve him. Compared with the entire Feng family, he is still a little insignificant and far from being able to represent the Feng family.
As long as the attitude of the Feng family does not change, and even tilts towards the Anning Palace and the Prince, in the future, if the Anning Palace and the Prince's family want to win over the Feng family, they will not care about the flaws of individual members of the Feng family and kill them all.
More importantly, Feng Yi also visited Taowu Ji many times during this period. He saw that the Longque Army garrison, which he had no hope for at first, had grown to a large scale in just four or five months.
It is not that the prince Yang Yuanpu has no chance of succeeding. Thinking that the future benefits of him working for the third prince at this time may be immeasurable, his thoughts become even more intense.
In addition, in the past three or four months, the third prince Yang Yuanpu did not force anyone to do anything. Feng Yi and Kong Xirong mainly helped Han Qian to sell the lime from the villa to the counties through Feng and Kong's warehouses. Not only did they not suffer any harm,
, and got one to two million yuan for them to squander.
In the Feng family, the Kong family, their father, brother and others saw that they were no longer ignorant and unskilled, and they no longer scolded and scolded them frequently. They had never felt this feeling before, and now they also wanted to ask for more things to do.
Han Qian smiled inwardly, pulled Feng Yi out, and said, "Let's go and find a place to drink tea. Your Highness has asked me to do these things. I can't do so much alone..."
