DAY 070 The greedy snake swallows the elephant
In fact, the reason why Wu Fan was excited about becoming the prefect was not that his desire for power was finally satisfied, but that after becoming the prefect, he could recruit a group of capable ministers to his subordinates and become his exclusive ministers without being dispatched by the monarch. This is exactly the greatest pleasure Wu Fan had when playing "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms 10".
Moreover, the loyalty and official duties of these officials do not have to worry about themselves, and they have to take care of themselves. They only drink, chat with them, and win over their feelings. During the war, everyone charged forward together, and the monarch awarded merits and rewarded them to judge the level. There was less awe between the monarch and his ministers, and more of the identities of each other.
This is the identity positioning that Wu Fan likes to be.
Besides, Wu Fan, after accepting the appointment of the prefect, hurried back home and told Cui Yingying that he had become the prefect of Puyang, asking Cui Yingying and Ling'er to pack up their things quickly; we will not live in the Siheyuan this time, and we will change to the prefect's mansion!
Needless to say, Cui Yingying and Ling'er's surprise was, but after Wu Fan's repeated urging, they came to their senses, happily packed up their valuables, hired a caravan, and followed Wu Fan out of Chenliu to Puyang.
Along the way, Cui Yingying felt extremely satisfied: My husband actually became the prefect, it was something I never dreamed of. I am also the prefect's wife now. The happiest thing in the world is just like this, right?
Even Ling'er was very happy and was overjoyed along the way. She and Cui Yingying were talking and laughing, and sometimes making trouble.
Not long after the carriage left Chenliu, a horseback rider led a carriage to chase after him. After seeing Wu Fan from afar, the rider quickly urged his horse to come close to Wu Fan. Wu Fan shot his eyes and found that it was Tian Feng!
Tian Feng had a resentful expression on his face and said:
"Meng Xuan, how could I not know that I was going to Puyang to serve as the prefect?"
It turned out that after Tian Feng woke up, he had finished washing and eating, he left the house and rushed to the palace. When he passed by Wu Fan's house, he saw that the courtyard gate was locked and was wondering. A neighbor told him that Wu Fan had just been promoted to prefect and had already gone to Puyang to take office.
When Tian Feng heard this, he stomped his feet in a hurry and thought to himself: How could Meng Xuan throw me in Chenliu City and run to Puyang by himself? He is young after all, and he is too frivolous in his work.
Unlike Wu Fan, Tian Feng had many inconsistent relationships with Cao Cao and his civil and military officials, so he had no relationships. Tian Feng had a deep friendship with Wu Fan in the entire Chenliu City. Moreover, because he was abducted by Wu Fan, he naturally relied on Wu Fan very much after coming to this strange environment.
At this time, Tian Feng could not stay there when he heard that Wu Fan had left Chenliu. He hurriedly ran home and asked his wives, concubines and maids to pack up their things. He rushed to the palace city and asked Cao Cao to transfer himself to Puyang.
Cao Cao was choosing the candidate to be sent to Puyang at this time. Since Tian Feng took the initiative to ask, Cao Cao was happy to do this favor and agreed readily.
So, Tian Feng and his family were with him, rushed forward and finally caught up with Wu Fan halfway.
When Wu Fan saw Tian Feng coming with his family, he must have gone to Puyang with him. He was naturally very happy. With a capable political minister like Tian Feng by his side, he could save a lot of trouble. Moreover, Tian Feng has the skills of a military advisor and can give him some advice in his daily life, which has many benefits.
Hearing Tian Feng's resentful tone, Wu Fan smiled and said:
"Yuan Hao, you misunderstood me. I thought you drank a lot yesterday and would sleep until afternoon today, so it is hard to disturb me when I leave."
Wu Fan was talking about the truth. Think about it, Tian Feng was sleeping soundly at home, so he rushed to wake him up, just to say that he rushed to Puyang to serve as the prefect. This was a bit too rude.
Tian Feng didn't appreciate it and continued to complain:
"With that being said, Meng Xuan, how can I stay in Chenliu when you go to Puyang? This move is inappropriate!"
The meaning of the words: You took me to Cao Cao, and then you ran to another city, but left me in Chenliu. Look at the things you did, it is so unprotective!
Wu Fan laughed:
"I, Wu Mengxuan, don't want to have a capable minister like Yuan Hao beside me! I really thought you were sleeping soundly and it was inconvenient to disturb you, so I failed to inform you in time. So Yuan Hao blamed me and Meng Xuan apologized here."
Seeing Wu Fan say this, Tian Feng naturally no longer blames him. In fact, he also understood that Wu Fan must have a great need for capable political ministers when he went to Puyang to serve as the prefect. He counted the civil and military officials under Cao Cao, and his political abilities were among the best. Only Cheng Yu was comparable to his own abilities (in fact, Tian Feng's ability was even better than Cheng Yu). Wu Fan could not not want to go to Puyang by himself.
What's more, the two have a deep relationship and are reasonable, and Wu Fan will not deliberately leave him behind. The only reason that makes sense is what Wu Fan said, thinking that he is still awake and inconvenient to disturb him.
Tian Feng was in a good mood, and Wu Fan was even more happy that Tian Feng would go to Puyang with him. The two then talked and laughed, chatted about the world, and came to Puyang City with their families the next day.
Because the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou broke the city in the previous episode, Puyang City was in a devastating situation at this time, with many damages on the city walls and extremely dilapidated gates. As for the various internal values of Puyang City, it naturally had a lot of influence.
Before entering the city, Wu Fan looked around the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army camp, which was originally stationed outside the city. It was empty at this time. The population of Chenliu and Puyang did not increase because of this, but there were only three more Qingzhou soldiers.
The game world is indeed not true. The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, known as one of millions, disappeared out of thin air.
However, if it did not disappear out of thin air, but became the population of Chenliu and Puyang, the population of these two cities would have increased sharply to more than 700,000. In this way, Cao Cao's strength would be too amazing. Other princes could go down and get lunch directly. You should know that Luoyang City, the largest city in the country, is currently a giant city, with only about 400,000 people.
After entering the city, Wu Fan and Tian Feng rushed straight to the palace city. After seeing Wu Fan's prefect's talisman seal, the guards immediately opened the palace gate and led the two to the main hall.
After sitting down in the main hall, Wu Fan roughly looked at it and realized that the size of the palace and main halls of Puyang City were larger than that of Chenliu. It is no wonder that Puyang is larger than Chenliu, and both in terms of population and political upper limit, it is more than Chenliu.
The monarch ruled the small city but managed the big city by himself. This feeling...is very wonderful.
Wu Fan smiled in his heart. Under the respectful guidance of the civil servants, he opened a schematic diagram of the residential area of Puyang City.
My family and Tian Feng still have no place to live, so what I have to do first is to resettle my family. I have nothing to say about my family, so I moved directly into the prefect's mansion behind the palace. Open this picture, mainly to find a considerable place for Tian Feng's family.
After checking it, Wu Fan finally chose a relatively spacious courtyard for Tian Feng's family in a residential area near the palace. The reason why he chose a residential area near the palace was that the two lived very close to the palace, so it was naturally convenient to have sex in private.
After Tian Feng thanked him, a civil servant led Tian Feng's family to settle down. Wu Fan checked the current values of Puyang City, which were shown as:
Force: Cao Cao
Governor: Cao Cao
Prefect: Wu Fan
Population: 252,000 (Chenliu is 220,000)
Funds: 400
Military food: 31664
Forces: 2000
Force: 2/20 (Infantry*2)
Active service: 2/2
In the wild: 0
Agriculture: 520/2000
Business: 350/2400
Technology: 736/2000
City Defense: 307/4800
Public Security: 29
——***—
Place: Central Plains
State:Yanzhou
Scale: Medium
Features: General
Facilities: Large merchants (can buy treasures. The higher the city scale, the more types of treasures.)
Fund expenditure/income (quarterly): 450/2254 (Fund expenditure is mainly the salary of military generals, not including the expenditure of government funds)
Expenditure/income for military food (year): 18960/81738
Urban Policy: None
Except for the population, everything is lower than Chenliu. After all, it is natural that he has suffered a disaster in the city.
However, public security is a bit too low, only 29. There are still more than ten days left to the end of December. With such a low public security level, it is probably a riot in residents when collecting taxes at the end of the quarter. The current priority is to improve public security first.
After thinking about it in my heart, Wu Fan said to Tian Feng:
"Yuan Hao, please order you to execute public security orders."
Tian Feng responded, received a hundred gold orders from the civil servants, and hurried out.
Afterwards, Wu Fan checked some other information, closed the bamboo slips, walked out of the palace city and went to the station to execute public security instructions.
At present, there are only two military generals, Wu Fan and Tian Feng, in Puyang City, and the other military generals are still on Chen Liu's way to Puyang. Anyway, Wu Fan has nothing to do now, and the public security in Puyang City is urgently needed to be improved, and his command is as high as 98, so he is naturally the first to go to execute in person.
The prefect had the right to receive funds at will from the city treasury, but at present, there were only 300 taels of gold in the treasury in Puyang City, which was not as much as Wu Fan carried with him. So, this time, Wu Fan had to pay out of his own pocket for the execution of public security orders.
...
Four days later, with the joint efforts of Wu Fan and Tian Feng, the security level in Puyang City had been increased to 70 (Wu Fan took out 400 taels of gold at a time, and he had public security skills, so the security level was improved so quickly), which basically reached the safety limit. During this period, the military generals sent by Cao Cao to Puyang had arrived one after another. From now on, they directly obeyed Wu Fan's dispatch, and Cao Cao was only responsible for appointing officials for them according to his achievements.
These generals are: Xia Houyuan, Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, Yu Jin, Chen Gong, and Zhang Miao.
In addition, Cao Cao also transferred some money, grain and army from Chen Liu, causing Puyang's current relevant values to be:
Funds: 3300
Military food: 151664
Force: 10500
Force: 4/4 (Infantry*2, Archer*1, Cavalry*1)
These money, grain and army can already meet the needs of Puyang's garrison and operation, and Wu Fan is quite satisfied with this. However, only Xia Houyuan sent these generals, but Wu Fan felt very happy, and the other five felt that they were much worse.
How great would it be if Cao Ren could be transferred to his own hands?
