After Liu Wentong heard this, he looked at the end of the official document.
If you look closely, your expression will change drastically.
This official document is different from previous official documents. It is a notification official document. In other words, this official document is to establish a ten-county alliance, but it is not to ask Jingzhao Prefecture for approval.
But to inform.
That is to say: Brother Liu Wentong, we have established a ten-county alliance. Sorry, you are not here. I will inform you now.
Liu Wentong said bitterly: "Magistrate Du must have guessed that I would be concerned about this matter, so he did this... Sigh."
The official asked: "Sir, Wannian County is so out of compliance with the rules, should we reprimand them? Or report the matter to the court?"
Um?
Liu Wentong turned around suddenly, stared at the official, and said coldly: "I have my own thoughts on what to do. When will it be your turn to dictate, get out!"
The official was scolded and left in confusion.
…
The next day.
Notices announcing the establishment of the Ten-County Alliance were posted in twelve counties including Wannian, Chang'an, and Hu County.
The whole world knows.
Previously, the three-county alliance was established. Although the scene was not small, it was by no means as big as this time.
After all, Wannian County and Chang'an County both belong to Chang'an City, and Hu County has already been integrated with Chang'an City because of Anhu Avenue and Dream Group.
Now, it is twelve counties that form an alliance.
Some people are surprised.
Some people are curious.
Someone is angry.
Everyone's reaction is different.
Officials from the DPRK and China were surprisingly unanimous in their opposition.
The reason is also very simple. Du He secretly formed a ten-county alliance and became the leader. This move was tantamount to rebellion.
However, no one jumped out to impeach Du He.
Many people who are preparing to impeach Du Ho are quietly gathering preparations.
With the lessons learned from the previous censors Wu Ping and Zhang Li, the ministers who want to impeach Du He have become more and more cautious.
The ten-county alliance implemented its policies very quickly.
First, the Guancheng Brigade began to expand. Under the guidance of Li Ke, Qin Huaiyu directly recruited a group of government officials with good physical fitness from various counties and added them to the Guancheng Brigade, and disrupted the personnel. After ten days of training
, the Guancheng Brigade was divided into fifteen squadrons, stationed in each county respectively. The remaining three squadrons were all elite soldiers. One squadron was stationed in Chang'an City and two squadrons were stationed in Huxian County for mobility, logistics, training, etc.
wait.
The Taxation Bureau also established twelve branches, which started working in various county offices.
But Dai Jinyun encountered a problem: lack of personnel.
In this era, there is no shortage of young men with brute strength, so the city management brigade is not short of people.
But what is most lacking is people who can read and write.
Even though the Tang Dynasty has entered a prosperous stage.
But even in Gyeonggi counties like Hu County, there are many places where it is difficult to find a scholar even if you travel for dozens of miles.
Therefore, the tax bureau is severely short of personnel.
Where are the scholars?
Looking at the entire city of Chang'an, the places where scholars gather are the Imperial College in Qujiangchi and Banshan Academy by the Bahe River.
The Imperial College was the place where the imperial court trained talents.
Banshan Academy was founded by Du He.
Later, Du He and the Fan Yang Lu family turned against each other and transferred all Banshan Academy to Wang Situ.
Situ Wanggui's purpose is also very simple, that is, to be the dean of an academy and cultivate a group of talents who will be famous throughout the ages.
Dai Jinyun aimed at Banshan Academy, so he took people to Banshan Academy in order to recruit a group of scholars to come to the tax bureau.
Little did I know that the first time I went there, I was rejected.
I went a second time and was persuaded to come back.
The third time he went there, Banshan Academy closed the door and refused to let him in. The vice-president of Banshan Academy, Wang Chongji, Wang Gui’s son, also scolded him for being ignorant of promotions, saying that all students at Banshan Academy would have to take the exams to obtain academic honors.
How can a person who is an official go to the tax bureau to work as a clerk with no future?
Dai Jinyun felt insulted and had to find Du He.
After listening to Dai Jinyun's statement, Du He asked, "Jin Yun, have you met those students from Banshan Academy?"
Dai Jinyun said honestly: "I met with those students once and told them in public that as long as they go to the Chang'an Taxation Bureau, their monthly salary can reach five guan, and the salary will continue to rise in the future. But the students discovered that Banshan Academy
It is no longer the original Banshan Academy. Back then, the teacher served as the dean of Banshan Academy and Xiao Shen served as the deputy dean of Banshan Academy. The academy offered many courses, such as arithmetic, astronomy, science, etc. However, today's Banshan Academy is only
Teaching the books of sages and sages, the students only want to take the scientific examinations and become officials. Alas...it is really a waste of a lot of good seedlings."
Dai Jinyun stayed at Banshan Academy, and to this day, he still misses the teaching environment that was completely different from the Imperial College.
The good Banshan Academy was about to be destroyed in the hands of Wang Gui and his son.
He is not an educator, but he feels sorry for those students who have become stupid in studying.
Hearing this, Du He pondered: "Now it seems that the Taxation Bureau is in urgent need of talent expansion. The simplest and most direct way is to recruit a group of students from Banshan Academy. But the problem is, on the one hand, Banshan Academy does not give them face and will not let them go.
, On the other hand, those students who only want to be officials are not interested in the tax bureau."
"Exactly!" Dai Jinyun thought to himself, the teacher's summary was really to the point.
Du He thought for a while and said: "In this case, we can only take extraordinary measures..."
He waved.
Dai Jinyun immediately came over and said, "Teacher, please clarify."
Du He whispered: "The way is simple, that is to make trouble."
"make trouble?"
"You immediately take some people to Mid-Levels Academy to cause trouble, saying that you want to rob people. When the time comes, Mid-Levels Academy will definitely stop them, so make the matter as big as possible. It is best that Mid-Levels Academy can't help but take action... Hmm
, you are not professional in this matter, you go to the King of Shu and ask him to send a few people to you." Du He arranged.
Dai Jinyun's eyes lit up: "Teacher, do you want to be arrogant?"
"Of course, the more arrogant the better."
"Can I hit someone?"
"Remember, you must never take action. The key to this matter is not to take action."
"Students understand."
Dai Jinyun agreed and left in a hurry.
…
Not long after, Dai Jinyun led a dozen people dressed as tax bureau officials to leave Wannian County, took a carriage, left Chang'an City, and went straight to Banshan College on the edge of the Ba River.
Banshan College is right next to the Bahe River. Originally, the opposite side was the headquarters of Dream Group, which was very lively.
Since Dream Group moved away, the surrounding area has become deserted.
Arrive at the entrance of Banshan College.
As soon as Dai Jinyun was about to walk in, he was stopped by several men guarding the gate.
A man with a beard stretched out his hand, looked at Dai Jinyun, and said with an unkind expression: "It turns out to be Mr. Dai. Our vice president has said that you are not welcome in Banshan College, so you should never come here again."
