Chapter 551
As the saying goes: The Huang family in the world came from Jiangxia.This sentence is actually not very accurate.

However, it is an indisputable fact that the Huang family is a common surname in Chu. Its origins are very concentrated. After the Spring and Autumn Period, almost all the Huang families lived in the Jingxiang area of ​​Chu State.

In the ancient times before the Spring and Autumn Period, Huangchuan (central part of Xinyang) had the "Ancient Yellow Kingdom", which was annexed and assimilated by Chu State very early, and a large number of its people moved inward to settle in Xiangyang, Jiangxia and other places not far from Huangchuan. Many people climbed to the noble class of Chu State.

Since Chun Shenjun Huang Xie, most of the Huang family members have been in Jiangxia. There is no doubt about this, and this is also one of the sources of the Huang family name.

However, Huang Fajiu's ancestors did not come from the famous Jiangxia Huang family (Huang Zu, Huang Yueying and others all came from this), but from the Yiyang Huang family in Jingxiang Yiyang County.

This branch was unknown before, but after migrating to Bashan County, it was also deeply cultivated in the local area, and there was no generation of generals or prime ministers.It was in the generation of Huang Tingyong, the father of Huang Fajiu, that he became an official and became the new county magistrate of Bashan County. He is 43 years old this year!
At this moment, the Huang family of this branch has become completely aristocratic, and there is almost no essential difference from the local Han and Liao.It doesn't matter whether you can read here or not. Among the local big clans, there are a lot of brave people who don't even know the characters.

These families no longer emphasize "poems, books, rituals and heirs" like aristocratic families, but are kings by force like natural selection.Being able to fight and have land, but unable to jump out of the local muddy pond, and hanging around in the local area for generations, this is a portrayal of reality.

If there is no war, they will never be able to get on the table of the center, and they will always be more than enough than the next, so they can only be arrogant on this one-third of an acre of land.

As far as Bashan County is concerned, Huang Ting used Huang's cards to deal with the court, and his words didn't carry much weight.Instead, the head of the Huang family is his son Huang Fajiu.

Why is this so?Because it is troubled times now!If you don't have the ability to lead troops, who will listen to you?

Could it be that Liu Yishou's status in the Jianghu was created by his efforts?
Here in Bashan County, if you don't know how to lead troops to fight, the strong men in the nearby villages will come to you to rob their houses, and you can be as arrogant as you want.

The folk customs here are simple and simple, bandits and civilians are not separated from husbands, officials are powerful and powerful, a farmer who picks up a hoe, a bandit when he puts on a weapon, and a general who takes off his official robe, and it is even possible to seamlessly switch between different identities.

If Liu Yishou didn't come to Jiangzhou, then when Huang Tingyong couldn't work anymore, Huang Faki would be the next Xinxin county magistrate of Yuzhang County, and after Huang Fajiu couldn't work anymore, his son would be the next Xinxin county magistrate.

Just send someone to Jiankang City to go through a procedure.Of course, the premise is that Xiao Yan is still alive, which was the case in the past.

As for why he can’t be the county magistrate of Bashan County’s hometown, but should be the county magistrate of Xinjian County near Yuzhang. Less than a few tens of miles away.

If they really become county magistrates in their hometown, then these powerful chieftains are very likely to have the righteousness of the court and local strength, and the Huang family is not the only powerful chieftain in the local area.

If you are both an athlete and a referee, wouldn't you be able to do whatever you want?Who can stand the other local big families?
If everyone can't stand it, they will definitely flip the table, and the game will no longer be playable.

So what Yang Xiuzhi said to Liu Yishou, "The local situation is hard to describe in one word", really spoke from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, in the lobby of Xinjian County, Huang Tingyong was receiving Yang Xiuzhi, the envoy sent by Jiankang.In fact, the situation in Xinjian County is very dangerous, and Huang Tingyong has long planned to run away.It was under Huang Fajiu's strong suggestion that Huang Tingyong did not run back to his hometown in Bashan County.

Huang Fajiu's suggestion is also very simple:
The situation in Jiangzhou is complicated now, Xiao Lun is too busy to take care of himself, how can he have the energy to deal with us?As long as we don't express our strong support for the Jiankang Center to suppress the rebellion, then Xiao Lun won't even look at us.

On the contrary, if my father abandoned the city and fled, it was tantamount to giving up the golden signboard given by the court, and it was also a bargaining chip for us to gain a foothold in our hometown.There are many powerful chieftains in Bashan County, and others fear us because of our official positions in the imperial court and the soldiers and horses in our hands.

Now if my father runs away, it is no less than breaking his own arm. In that case, we can only rely on the soldiers and horses in our hands to protect ourselves, but the Huang family has no appeal in the local area, so naturally we can't get along.

Father can think about it, Yuzhang Chieftain Yu Xiaoqing and his like have been begging the court for an official position, wanting to be the prefect of Yuzhang County, if there is no benefit, he will definitely not do it, after all Yu Xiaoqing is not stupid!
In this game, whoever escapes is the dog!

Hearing Huang Fajiu's "pertinent" suggestion, Huang Ting took the guts of a leopard and settled down in the Xinjian county government, which was almost indefensible.

As Huang Fajiu expected, Xiao Lun did not send a single soldier to Xinjian County, but Liu Yishou's envoy came uninvited as expected.

Yang Xiuzhi, who lives in Yiqi and raises his body, often walks around Liu Yishou, faces a local wealthy chieftain in Jiangzhou, and he still has a lot of airs.Yang Xiu didn't take a sip of the drink that Huang Ting used, and he didn't even look at it.

"The angel (the title of the imperial court's special envoy) came, but for the favor of the vassal king?"

Huang Ting asked cautiously.As local tycoons, they would not oppose the imperial court for no reason.

Even if they wanted to get their hands on Yuzhang County, they would have to wait for Xiao Lun to be destroyed, and they "couldn't stand it any longer" before beheading and occupying Yuzhang County, and then submitting their officials to the court.

We are helping you deal with the rebel lord, so it is reasonable to deal with Yuzhang's affairs based on the principle of proximity, right?
It is absolutely impossible for these people to openly raise the anti-flag to make trouble with the court.

To be honest, regardless of land, wealth and population, it is an interest.It is indeed unnecessary to lose your head in order to compete for benefits.

Although they are not in the central court, the news is by no means "I don't know Han, regardless of Wei and Jin".These people are also well aware of Liang Guo's current situation.

"My family, King Wu, thinks that the local rich chieftains in the west and south of Yuzhang have ulterior motives. They don't pay taxes on weekdays, and they want to take a share of the pie when the vassal princes are in trouble. I don't know what Huang County magistrate has to say about this. What about opinion?"

Yang Xiuzhi looked at Huang Tingyong with a half smile and asked.

What insights can I have from riding a horse, I am also one of the local rich chiefs!
Hearing this, Huang Tingyong felt disgusted as if someone had stuffed a plate of blowflies into his mouth.But he was working in the local government at any rate, so he wouldn't say that he lost his composure after being provoked a little.

"The people of Bashan County have not yet developed their wisdom. The villages usually go their own way, and there are some who are brave and fierce. But it is an exaggeration to say that these people participated in the rebellion of the vassal king. Wu Wangyuan is in Jiankang, and he is not concerned about the situation in Bashan and Linchuan counties. I understand, and it’s understandable.”

Huang Ting said with a needle hidden in the cotton, implying that Liu Yishou "doesn't know how to do it" and is "tossing around blindly".

"The shore of the land is the land of the king. It has not been a day or two for the counties and counties around Yuzhang to refuse to accept Wang Hua. This time, the king of Wu led a total of 20 land and water troops. He planned to flatten Bashan and sweep Linchuan. Let These places serve the king and know etiquette.

However, King Wu is kind and does not want to lose his life.There is also the worry that punishment for not teaching is a form of abuse.So what is the purpose of coming here, doesn't magistrate Huang know? "

In history, the county magistrate Huang lived to be 84 years old before dying!Obviously not impulsive and irritable.

Pretending to be confused, he asked, "That angel...what does King Wu mean?"

"The blank letter of appointment for the prefect of Yuzhang County and the governor of Jiangzhou can take effect after filling in the name."

Yang Xiuzhi took out two silk scriptures from his pocket and spread them out in front of Huang Tingyong.

"Does Magistrate Huang understand?"

Holding the silk book, Huang Tingyong felt a bit like a gold digger whose underwear was stuffed with money by local tyrants.

Although the face is not good-looking, but the body is very honest, it is so fragrant!It's just that, for such an important position, two at a time, can you really go whoring for nothing?
Senior official + commander of the military region, click to send.Huang Tingyong felt that the matter was not simple.

"Uh, that..."

When Yang Xiuzhi threw Wang Zang, Huang Ting was stunned for a while, not saying that he really wanted to refuse, but that something he had dreamed of fell from the sky, and he couldn't believe it.He is still a bit of a man of numbers, and he doesn't think that the imperial court will grant salary without merit.

"The King of Wu has a letter, which was originally addressed to his son Huang Fajiu, but you are his father, so it's the same to check for him."

Yang Xiuzhi handed Liu Yishou's personal letter to Huang Tingyong.

"Angel, please go back to Pan City first. The matter is very important. I... have to go back to the village to discuss with the dog."

Huang Tingyong really wanted to agree, but the reason for his refusal was because Huang Fajiu always made up his mind on any important matters in daily life, and it had become a habit.

"It's so good. The King of Wu takes care of everything every day, and there are many other important things to deal with. We only wait for you for five days. If there is no news after five days, then all promises will be void."

Yang Xiuzhi nodded slightly, got up and bowed indifferently before leaving, and didn't want Huang Tingyong to see him off.

According to Liu Yishou's instructions, after arriving in Xinjian County, he maintained an "arrogant" posture from the beginning to the end, but Huang Tingyong didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.

Or the other way around, if Yang Xiuzhi pleaded with a low profile, it would make the other party suspicious.

It is normal for people from the Jiankang court to be arrogant, but it is abnormal to be low-key!The rich chieftains here only eat this set!Talking about etiquette, justice, integrity and shame to them is completely impossible to have any effect.

After leaving Xinjian County, Yang Xiuzhi heaved a sigh of relief, feeling extremely uneasy.

Huang Fajiu's chess piece can be said to be the "spring eye" in the overall situation. If this step is done well, the whole game of chess will come to life.On the contrary, if this step goes wrong, it will be easy for the local tycoons to hug each other to keep warm!

If he failed because he didn't use his words well, Yang Xiuzhi didn't know how to explain to Liu Yishou.

"Should it be done?"

On the return boat, Yang Xiuzhi let out a long sigh and said to himself somewhat uncertainly.

……

Hurrying back to his hometown from the county seat, Huang Tingyong found his son Huang Fajiu, and the two came to the study to discuss important matters secretly.Huang Tingyong put Liu Yishou's letter and the blank letters of appointment of Jiangzhou governor and Yuzhang prefect in front of Huang Fajiu.

Huang Fajiu, who was smart and courageous since he was a child, and who grew up to be familiar with the art of war, was also frightened by Liu Yishou's big hand!
Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Jiangzhou Governor has never been served by a local tycoon, and they are all appointed by the Jiankang Center, without exception!The amount of information revealed in these two letters of appointment is unimaginably large!
"If King Wu is sincere, then the Huang clan may have to move to Jiankang."

Huang Fajiu said in a deep voice.

The governor of Jiangzhou and the prefect of Yuzhang, these two official positions cannot be held by local rich people.Huang Fajue felt that if his family accepted Liu Yishou's gift, it would definitely transform from a local tycoon into a new force in Liang's political and military circles, breaking away from the local big mud pit.

For the Huang family, this is not only a once-in-a-century opportunity, but also a challenge that they may not be able to bear.

"Don't you read this letter?"

Huang Tingyong asked with some doubts when he saw that Huang Fajiu wanted to tear up Liu Yishou's letter.

"Forget it, it's okay to have a look."

Huang Fajiu sighed helplessly.

He is tall and has a rough appearance, but his mind is very meticulous, and he is by no means such a rough man on the outside.Otherwise, Huang Tingyong would not have followed his advice.

"Sure enough, two peaches kill three warriors. This king of Wu has a gully in his chest, no wonder he can control the central government of Jiankang."

After reading the letter, Huang Fajiu handed it to Huang Tingyong.

The latter looked at it, frowned again and again, and finally sighed and said: "Why don't you send someone to decline."

"It's already too late. We will accept these two appointments. If we don't accept them, we will accept them. If we don't accept them, Yu Xiaoqing will accept them. That one is willing to kneel down and lick his boots for King Wu. When the King of Wu asked Yu Xiaoqing to bite us, he still has the duties of governor and prefect, so we will have a harder time!"

Huang Fajiu sneered.

When Xiao Yan was alive, Yu Xiaoqin presented to the court several times and asked to be the prefect of Yuzhang County, but Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi didn't take him seriously.That's right, it's not a rejection, but it's as if this person doesn't exist!
Every time it is "unreadable"!Yu Xiaoqing even wondered if the person he sent hid outside for a while, and never sent the letter to Jiankang!

If Liu Yishou gave Yu Xiaoqing the prefect of Yuzhang County and the governor of Jiangzhou to Yu Xiaoqing, the latter would definitely become Liu Yishou's loyal eagle dog!

But this is very detrimental to the imperial court's integration of the powers of the major chieftains in Jiangzhou. Instead, it will make other powerful chieftains hold together for warmth.

Liu Yishou gave the governor of Jiangzhou and the prefect of Yuzhang County to the Huang family just to make Yu Xiaoqing bite each other with them!
Can I not accept it?It doesn't seem to work either.

If Huang Fajiu doesn't accept, who knows whether Liu Yishou will follow Yu Xiaoqing's wishes and let him be the vanguard to wipe out the powerful chieftains in Bashan County?

The difference between a wealthy chieftain and an aristocratic family is that the former is clearly illegal, while the latter is clearly legal!Just because the imperial court didn't clear up the power of the powerful chieftains, it didn't mean that the powerful chieftains could bask in the sun majestically!
Accepting this appointment is tantamount to whitewashing his identity, and at the same time getting the ticket to enter the core of Liang Guo's power.From then on, the Huang family did not play in the same game as other wealthy chieftains in Bashan County.

How could Huang Fajiu refuse such a good deed?
As for contributing to Liu Yishou as a falcon dog, that's something that can't be helped.Since the reincarnation technology is not good enough, there must be a lot of price to climb up.

"I'm leaving now for Pancheng to meet the King of Wu. My father hastened to recruit Xiangyong and prepare for battle. Bashan County, no, the entire Jiangzhou will soon start to be chaotic. We must prepare in advance."

Huang Fajiu said to Huang Tingyong with a serious face, obviously he had already made a decision.

 I always want to write something different for you. In addition, the governor of Jiangzhou in it is not a clerical error, and there will be a plot later.
