On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 116 Ambitious
During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Liu Yu destroyed Nanyan, destroyed its capital Guanggu, and built a new city east of Guanggu City and north of Yangshui, which was Dongyang City (Qingzhou, Shandong).

As the saying goes, if you are unlucky for three lives, the magistrate will be attached to Guo;

Li Dehai, the magistrate of Yidu County, is such an unlucky guy.

Dongyang City is not only the county seat of Yidu County, but also the county seat of Qi County, and even the state seat of Qingzhou.

Fortunately, now that the imperial court has dismissed the counties, there are only two levels of prefectures and counties left.

Looking back on the hard days of these years, living in the same city with Yanrong, and being bullied.

After suffering for three years, seeing that his term of office was over and he was able to get out of the sea of ​​suffering, Yanrong took the first step and was escorted to the capital to be executed.

Yanrong died, but Li Dehai couldn't laugh.

Just out of the tiger's mouth, and into the wolf's den.

Then Cui Che was able to overthrow Yanrong and replace him as the head of Qingzhou, how could he be easy to deal with.

Previously, Cui Che served as a consolation ambassador, patrolling various places, always picking out a group of officials to be executed.

Its tyranny, in Li Dehai's opinion, is probably not inferior to Yan Rong.

The bloody storm followed Cui Che across the four prefectures, but left Yidu County alone. It wasn't because Li Dehai and others were clean officials, but because Yan Rong was in charge of Dongyang City.

Ever since I heard that Cui Che became the governor of Qingzhou, timid officials in Yidu County Government, Qingzhou Governor's Mansion, and Qingzhou Governor's Mansion abandoned their posts and slipped away ahead of schedule.

The bolder ones, unwilling to give up their official positions, returned the money and food that they had been greedy for. With a sense of luck, they ushered in the fourth year of Emperor Kaihuang (584) in anxiety.

Li Dehai is one of them.

After so many years of hard work, he finally became the magistrate of Shang County. If he could really give up, he wouldn't have been with Yan Rong for three years, and he would have quit long ago.

On the third day of the first lunar month of the fourth year of Emperor Kaihuang, it was the seven-day long holiday on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, and all the government offices in Dongyang City were closed. Officials who were supposed to accompany their families gathered in the west of the city, waiting for the arrival of the new Chief Governor of Qingzhou.

After waiting for a long time, Li Dehai finally saw a group of people who came to take office.

It's just that the leader is a middle-aged man, and there is no vigorous young man in the team.

"Director Cui has other important matters, let me tell you, who has no faults? The mistakes can be corrected, and there is nothing good about it. The past can be ignored, but if you are slack in your heart and neglect political affairs, the general manager will never forgive you!"

Shi Ligang, the head of the house, sat on the horseback and said loudly.

The officials of Dongyang City all heaved a sigh of relief when they heard the words, and the big stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground. As for where Cui Che went and what he was doing, as long as they were not pursuing previous crimes, how could they care, let alone ask.

On the shore of the Bohai Sea, Cui Che led Pei Xiu, Qin Qiong and a small number of entourages to inspect the tidal flats and make plans for opening fields to make salt.

"Ache, why did you let the Yidu officials go?"

Seemingly unable to bear the doubts in her heart, Pei Xiu asked.

Qin Qiong wanted to avoid it when she heard the words, Cui Che laughed and said:

"Che and Shubao are as close as brothers, so there is nothing they can't talk about."

Pei Xiu, who was on the side, saw it, and called out my good guy, no wonder you asked me to ask about this in front of Qin Qiong, just wait to say this.

Qin Qiong really stopped.

Cui Che and the two explained:

"I am not a bloodthirsty person. What I did that day was only due to the serious situation. We should use heavy codes, otherwise it would not be enough to cause the common people to be angry. Now that the officials in Yidu have reformed their mistakes, why does Che pursue it? He insists on killing people to panic."

In fact, Cui Che didn't tell the truth what was in his heart.

He had slaughtered corrupt officials in Qing, Jiao, Guang, and Ju prefectures before, not only relying on the right to kill first, but also knowing that under the background that Yang Jian was about to leave the county and it was difficult to arrange a large number of officials, no matter how many he killed, as long as he did not Yang Jian would only applaud the unjust killing of a good person instead of blaming him.

That's why Cui Che has the confidence to borrow someone else's head to establish his prestige.

What's more important is that the newly recruited officials in each state and county are all literate people selected by Cui Che from among the refugees.

Cui Che started killing people in August, and Yang Jian left the county in October. Disaster relief was like putting out fires. How could we wait for the county-level officials who had lost their jobs to come to take up their posts.

And these refugees who were promoted to the ranks of officials also secured their positions because of their meritorious service in disaster relief.

Officials will be transferred, but these small officials will take root in the local yamen. Cui Che wants to run Qingzhou as his old nest, so he cannot do without their support.

With the heads of countless corrupt officials, no one dared to offend Cui Che's majesty, now is the time to show his lenient side.

This is the real reason for Cui Che's two attitudes.

Whether it's punishing corruption to win the hearts of the people, or promoting officials among the refugees, and seeking glory for Pei Xiu and Huang Baiji, and the governor history of Ju Er, these are Cui Che's methods to completely control Qingzhou and other places.

Cui Che led the crowd to patrol along the coastline, and the local government was not disturbed along the way, and finally completed the plan for the [-] mu of beach fields.

At the same time, the Qingzhou General Manager's Office also began to operate under the auspices of Li Gang, the chief minister, Fang Yanqian, the secretary and the army.

All the salt workers recruited by the counties have come to Dongyang City to wait for orders.

Drying salt is different from boiling salt, and does not require too many people. Only four people are enough for a hundred acres of beach fields. It stands to reason that even if it is a salt field of 7000 acres, four thousand salt workers, plus three thousand salt soldiers, only need to recruit [-] people .

But now there are 3000 people gathered outside Dongyang City. This is naturally Cui Che's handwriting.

Yang Jian and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty who were far away in Kansai didn't know much about the sun-dried salt method.

Cui Che deliberately added one or two complicated but ineffective procedures, which resulted in a surge in manpower, and they couldn't find it.

Besides, Gaocheng set up 2666 stoves for cooking salt by the sea, with three to five pots for each stove. The salt labor required is huge, but the annual output is only 20 dendrobium.

Cui Che can donate nearly [-] million hu of salt a year, but only needs [-] salt workers. How can Yang Jian and the ministers be dissatisfied, and even worried that there will be insufficient manpower, which will affect the production.

Brother Che made such a fuss, and he was naturally full of selfishness to get these extra salt workers. In ancient times, salt workers and miners were excellent sources of soldiers. If there were any changes in the future, they could quickly pull up a team.

Of course, combat effectiveness cannot be achieved overnight. The 3000 private soldiers in Boling are now in their fifth year of formation. After hard training, they have experienced the White Dao War and seen blood before they can finally be called It is an elite soldier.

On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month in the fourth year of Kaihuang (584), Cui Che, who had completed the Tantian plan, brought Pei Xiu and Qin Qiong to Dongyang City.

The spring plowing is approaching, and the refugees from all over the country have returned to their original places one after another, and received the grain seeds and food distributed by the government according to their household registration. The imperial court has to support them until the autumn harvest, otherwise Che Geer would have to carry 300 million shi of Zhou millet.

Cui Che officially took office as the general manager of Qingzhou, but left all the government affairs to Li Gang, the chief minister, while he concentrated on selecting the best salt workers from among the salt workers to form the salt corps.

In Cui Che's mind, this was the top priority.

　There are only two chapters today, Mr. Cen Zhongmian's "Sui Shu Qiushi" has been waiting for almost half a month, and it just arrived today, and I have been flipping through the book during the day.
