Chapter 15: Controlling the Prefect's Mansion (Part 2)

All the officials were stunned, and then a petty official said: "The governor of Qi is Luo Tong. He used to be the deputy captain, but later because he offended Zhang Shihe, Zhang Shihe complained to the general manager of Yuchi and was demoted to the position of city defender.

Soldier."

Having overawed all the officials, the next thing Li Yizhi wanted to rectify was naturally the county soldiers.

County soldiers are different from officials. The power of officials comes from the prefect. As long as they are subdued, they will basically not be able to make any trouble in the future.

But the county soldiers are different, because it is a kind of violent power in itself, and it must be completely controlled to eliminate Zhang Yunhe's remaining confidants and replace them with people he trusts.

And he himself could not put too much energy into the county soldiers, so he had to find someone to manage it on his behalf.

Whether this person is talented or not is secondary. What is ultimately important is to have a grudge against Zhang Yunhe, because only such a person will be grateful to him and will wholeheartedly help him control the county soldiers.

Li Yizhi chuckled, this was an unexpected surprise, he turned out to be a deputy captain.

So if you think about this Luotong, both in terms of strategy and prestige, it should be good. This way it will be easier to control the county soldiers.

"Who is this Luo Tong, and for what reason did he offend Zhang Yunhe?"

The clerk replied: "For the governor, Luo Tong is said to be the general manager of Youzhou and the nephew of General Luo Yiluo. A year ago, Zhang Yunhe was appointed as the captain. He bought and sold military positions many times, and Luo Tong was

It was destroyed, so I held a grudge. But I was worried about General Luo Yiluo and didn't dare to kill him, so I was demoted to a city defender."

Li Yizhi nodded and said, "Very good. Judging from your appearance, I seem to know Luo Tong very well. Now go down and find Luo Tong."

"Yes, Prefect!"

The clerk agreed excitedly.

Now that Zhang Yunhe has been killed, Luo Tong, as the original deputy captain, has a grudge against Zhang Yunhe. There is a high probability that he may be appointed as the new captain.

"Xue Zhen, Gao Shouyi." Li Yizhi shouted.

The two men trembled and responded quickly: "I'm here."

"Now the world is in chaos and refugees are everywhere. Since Yangzhou is close to Jiangdu Palace, it has not experienced war for a long time and is relatively stable. However, it has also gathered a large number of refugees. Next, the focus of your work will be to organize the refugees and reclaim wasteland.

, the government will provide a variety of agricultural tools and seeds to the refugees on a lease basis, and strive to complete the rush farming within a month."

Li Yizhi said: "This is a task given to you by this officer. You will inspect it in one month. If you complete it well, your 'warning' today will not only be cancelled, but you will also be rewarded. But if it is not completed well, you will be severely punished."

.”

"Your Majesty, take your orders!"

Xue Zhen and Gao Shouyi quickly agreed and did not dare to refuse.

Li Yizhi waved his hand and said: "Okay, it's getting late, you all go down."

"promise!"

All the officials retreated one after another, and Zhang Yunhe's body was dragged away and washed quickly with water.

In the meeting hall, only Li Yizhi and Yin Kaishan were left.

"Leader Yin."

"My subordinate is here."

Li Yizhi looked at Yin Kaishan and muttered: "As for the Zhuhua Gang, with my support in the future, you can stop doing things to bully and dominate the market. You can do some legitimate industries, such as opening restaurants, casinos, etc. Not only do you make money, but you also

You can get all kinds of news."

"yes!"

Naturally, Yin Kaishan happily agreed. They could make serious money, and they were not willing to bully ordinary people.

Li Yizhi said: "Also, in the future, we should pay attention to the quality cultivation of the Zhuhua Gang disciples and build a good relationship with ordinary people, so that in the future, I can use you openly and honestly."

"Yes, Governor, please keep this in mind."

"Well, there's nothing else to do. You can go back."

"My subordinates resign."

After Yin Kaishan left, Li Yizhi sat on the prefect's chair, closed his eyes and meditated.

He kept replaying the previous events in his mind, checking for any omissions or areas that needed improvement.

Li Yizhi does not think that he is the kind of person with extraordinary talents, so he pays special attention to "introspection". Whether he is practicing or doing things, he will recall and examine himself afterward.

Finally, he slowly opened his eyes and said to himself: "There are no omissions in what happened today. The next step is to write a memorial to Yang Guang to explain the matter, so as not to be taken advantage of by Yu Wenji.

."

Although the captain was an assistant to the prefect, he was appointed by the imperial court. Even if he made a mistake, it was not his turn to be killed by Li Yizhi. This was not only a transgression, but also violated the emperor's taboo.

Because military power is the most important thing for emperors of all dynasties, no one is allowed to get involved without authorization.

But what happened today, Li Yizhi can definitely write that Zhang Yun and the following criminals intended to assassinate him, so he had no choice but to kill them on the spot.

With Yu Shiji and Pei Yun providing cover, he didn't have to worry about Yu Wenhuaji's complaint.

Thinking of this, Li Yizhi came to the side hall of his office, started to write a memorial, and called for Kou Zhong.

"Kou Zhong, you personally deliver this memorial to Jiangdu Palace and give it to Yu Shiji."

"Okay, don't worry, Boss Li, I will definitely handle this matter properly."

Kou Zhong said excitedly that he could now walk around the palace openly.

Li Yizhi shook his head, waved his hand and said: "Okay, go quickly, don't miss the business."

…………

In the afternoon, Li Yizhi met Luo Tong, a burly man about thirty years old with a stern face.

"Luo Tong pays homage to the prefect!"

Li Yizhi held up his right hand and said: "There is no need to be polite. I am calling you here this time. You must have some guesses in your mind."

Luo Tong looked as usual and said: "I dare not try to figure out the governor's mind."

"Since you don't dare to speculate, let me tell you. I have already submitted a memorial to the court and appointed you as the new captain. I believe the court will pass it smoothly."

Li Yizhi said: "Therefore, before the imperial court officially appoints you, you will be appointed acting captain first."

Luo Tong's eyes flashed with gratitude, and he bowed and said, "Yes, Grand Administrator."

"After you take over, there are a few things you need to do."

"Prefect, please give me your instructions."

"The first thing is to eliminate Zhang Yunhe's confidants. If there is no serious evil, just drive out the county soldiers, but if there is serious evil, you should deal with it according to the law."

"The second thing is to replace all the soldiers in the Prefecture and replace them with your new commander."

"The third thing is to reorganize the five thousand county soldiers and the county soldiers in Jiangdu counties, cut off the old and weak, organize training, and wipe out the bandits and robbers in Jiangdu County."

Li Yizhi paused, looked at Luo Tong, and said, "Especially the third thing, are you confident in completing it?"

Although Jiangdu County is where Jiangdu Palace is located, the safe place is only around Yangzhou.

In fact, there are many robbers and bandits in each county, and there are even small groups of rebels, causing trouble in all directions.

If Li Yizhi wanted to develop Jiangdu County, the first thing he had to do was to clean up the banditry in the territory.

Luo Tong did not hesitate and said in a deep voice: "General, I will ensure that the mission is completed."

Li Yizhi nodded and said: "Very good, I hope you won't disappoint me, go on."

…………

The storm in the Prefect's Mansion soon spread to the outside world.

All well-informed people know that the newly appointed governor took complete control of the governor's mansion in just one day, and he is a ruthless character.

Jiangdu Palace.

Zhang Shihe's face was full of hatred. As soon as he received the news from the Prefect's Mansion, he immediately found Yu Wenji, who was on duty, and reported it.

"Sir, this Li Yizhi is ruthless and will definitely cause a big disaster in the future. Please deal with it as soon as possible."

Finally, Zhang Shihe shouted angrily.
Chapter completed!
