On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 115 Returning to Qingzhou
The river in the north freezes in winter, so it is naturally impossible to go down the river by boat as before.

Cui Che was in a hurry to go to Qingzhou to take up his post, and organized the opening of fields to make salt as soon as possible, and selected salt soldiers.

But Mrs. Feng was old and couldn't stand the bumps, so she could only walk slowly.

Cui Che simply brought Pei Xiu, Li Gang, Fang Yanqian and some of his entourage first, and asked Yang Lihua, Cui Zhaorong and others to accompany his grandmother to stop and go along the way, so as not to get tired from the exhaustion of the boat.

The news that Cui Che, the former Henan comfort ambassador, was appointed as the governor of Qingzhou spread to Kanto. The scholars and people of the four prefectures were happy and worried.

Cui Che had killed many people before, and Yu Wei was still there. Working under such a manager, it was like pinning his head to his belt, so how could he feel at ease.

Of course, there are also officials who are eager to see through Cui Che, such as Zhu'a county magistrate Huang Baiji.

Huang Baiji claimed to be Cui Che's lackey, and seeing what Cui Chezhen said in the secret meeting that day, returning to Kanto and becoming the general manager of Qingzhou, Huang Baiji was even more desperate, and believed that following Cui Che would have a bright future.

As the end of the year approached, Huang Baiji got the news in advance that Cui Che would arrive in his loyal Zhu'a County today.

Before dawn, Huang Baiji went out of the city to wait in the snow.

In the afternoon, I saw more than a dozen horses coming from a distance, and it was clear that the leader was Cui Che, and the potbellied Huang Baiji stepped on the thick snow to meet him.

"I wish Huang Baiji, the county magistrate, and pay my respects to Director Cui."

Cui Che got off his horse, helped Huang Baiji up, and said with a smile:

"Huang Mingfu doesn't need to be polite."

Immediately afterwards, he introduced Li Gang and Fang Yanqian to Huang Baiji, and after the three greeted each other, Cui Che followed Huang Baiji back to Zhu'a County for a rest.

When they came to the station, Cui Che left Huang Baiji in the wing room and said:

"Huang Mingfu only took over the post of Zhu'a county magistrate after the disaster, and it stands to reason that he should have stayed in Zhu'a for three years before he can assume the new post.

"However, Cui played the role of disaster relief for you. I think there will be an edict in the next year. Huang Mingfu should be more diligent in doing things these days, and must not relax in the slightest, so as to give people an excuse."

Huang Baiji asked, with a smile on his face,

Local officials in the Sui Dynasty were appointed every three years, and this year happened to be the third year of the Kaihuang. At that time, there would be a large-scale transfer of officials, which would free up many vacancies. With Cui Che's backing, he might even find a county magistrate.

"Baiji respects Cui Gong's instruction."

Cui Che wondered:
"Huang Mingfu is not curious about what job Cui found for you?"

Huang Baiji flattered:

"How dare you refuse Baiji's gift from Duke Cui? Even though it is difficult and dangerous, Baiji is willing to accept it."

Cui Che laughed loudly and said:
"Going to Juzhou to serve as the chief historian, in the mouth of Huang Mingfu, how could he become a dragon's pool and a tiger's den."

When Huang Baiji heard this, he couldn't hold back his excitement anymore. In his opinion, even if he made great contributions to the relief, he could at most be promoted to the county magistrate of the sixth rank.

But Cui Che said that the position of Governor Shi of Ju Prefecture was at the top of the sixth rank, which undoubtedly far exceeded Huang Baiji's expectations, and it also made him finally understand what it means to have someone in the court who is good at being an official.

"Grandfather Cui, Bai Jiming is very grateful, but if there is an order, Bai Jiwan will die!"

Huang Baiji bowed his head and kowtowed.

Cui Che helped Huang Baiji up again, and blamed:

"Cui still wants to share wealth with Huang Mingfu, how can Huang Mingfu talk about life and death lightly!"

Huang Baiji raised his sleeves, wiped away the muddy tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a sob:
"Baiji drifted half his life, never met the Ming Lord, and was in a state of affairs. Fortunately, Cui Gong never gave up and rescued Baiji from distress. Now he promises me a future. Such kindness, even if you tie a grass ring, it will be difficult to repay it. one."

Cui Chekuan stroked a few words before Huang Baiji stopped crying.

For Huang Baiji, the governor of Juzhou, Cui Che really put a lot of effort behind it. The reason why he was eager to promote Huang Baiji was that he lacked party members after all.

Qingzhou General Manager's Mansion governs the four prefectures of Qing, Jiao, Guang, and Ju. Cui Che himself is also the governor of Qingzhou, so he can naturally firmly control Qingzhou, while the other three prefectures need to place confidantes.

Although the Jiao, Guang, and Ju prefectures are under the jurisdiction of the Qingzhou General Administration, they are actually relatively independent. At the beginning, Cui Che served as the chief secretary in the Bingzhou General Administration, and he was mainly responsible for the government affairs of Bingzhou. Who made Yang Guang at that time only concurrently He took up the post of governor of Bingzhou.

Unlike Xingtai Shangshuling, the general manager only has jurisdiction over the subordinate states, but has no actual leadership, and cannot replace the central government to issue government orders.

Cui Che intervened in Juzhou, and he would not let go of the other two states. After the term of Gwangju Governor Shi expires, Pei Xiu will leave Cui Che's shogunate and go to Gwangju to take up his post.

This was all arranged by Cui Che before he left Beijing.

Pei Xiu once served as a secretary in the General Manager's Mansion of Yang Guang and joined the army. According to her qualifications, she is more than enough to be a governor.

Gwangju has Pei Xiu, and Juzhou has Huang Baiji. As for Jiaozhou, Cui Che really has no one to choose. The only ones he can use now are Li Gang, Fang Yanqian, Pei Xiu, and Huang Baiji.

Pei Xiu and Huang Baiji already had a place to go, and Li Gang was chosen by Yang Jian for him. If he wanted to assist him in handling all the affairs of the General Manager's Mansion, it was naturally impossible to send him to Jiaozhou.

Fang Yanqian wanted to stay by his side to cultivate his relationship, so naturally no one in Jiaozhou could arrange it.

Cui Che now deeply feels that there is a shortage of talents under his command, and it is imminent to visit the talents, and there is no delay.

On December 25th of the third year of Kaihuang, Cui Che inspected the recruitment of salt workers in Zhu'a County, and then went straight to Licheng with his cronies and staff.

The recruitment of salt workers had started long before Cui Che took office. Yang Jian was eager to see the benefits of salt. When Cui Che was appointed as the general manager of Qingzhou, he had already issued an edict to the four prefectures of Qing, Jiao, Guang, and Ju, ordering the officials of each prefecture and county to be in charge of the refugees. Recruit salt workers.

The only way to form the salt soldiers is to wait for Cui Che to take up his post and select the best among the salt workers.

In the afternoon of that day, Cui Che arrived in Licheng, and the magistrate of Licheng came out of the city to greet him. Cui Che exchanged pleasantries with him before going to the Qin Mansion.

"Shu Bao still remember the appointment?"

Cui Che saw Qin Qiong from afar and shouted.

Qin Qiong had already carried the burden. He held a long spear in his right hand and led the horse with his left hand. He responded loudly:
"Joan dare not forget!"

It turns out that after hearing that Cui Che became the governor of Qingzhou, Qin Qiong asked his father, Qin Ai, to follow Cui Che, and with Qin Ai's consent, he packed his bags early.

Hearing that Cui Che came to Licheng today, Qin Qiong bid farewell to his parents and waited outside the mansion. He knew that Cui Che would definitely come to find him, otherwise there was no need to make an agreement with painstaking efforts.

There was still some distance between the two, and Cui Che got off his horse,
"Don't be impatient, I will pay homage to Duke Qin first, and then I will take up my post in Yidu."

After finishing speaking, he held hands with Qin Qiong and entered the mansion.

Qin Qiong was of course greatly moved by this. Now that Cui Chegui is the governor of Qingzhou and a third-rank official, he can be said to have a high position and authority. His father refused to enlist him. Che felt closer.

Of course, this was also Cui Che's deliberate intention. He knew that a filial son like Qin Qiong was the most prone to this trick.
