Chapter 220: Willows and Flowers Bright!
Lord Zhan finally left, but Nie Yong had no idea at all. On this day, he felt like he was dreaming, and his mind was messy and he had not yet fully recovered.
"Brother Zheng, how did you do this today? Where did you get the strategy?" Nie Yong asked Lu Zheng, and Liang Wei was still completely kept in the dark.
When Zhan Tianqi came at this time, Liang Wei felt that it was not good, but he did not expect that everyone would be happy. Zhan Tianqi tried his best to win over Nie Yong today, which shows that a story must have happened in the separate conversation between Nie Yong and Zhan Tianqi.
Lu Zheng smiled embarrassedly and said, "Teacher, are you still not clear about the situation at that time? To be honest, I have been considering the issues about the Nanfu Army recently.
Teacher, since Master Zhan is concerned about the Nanfu Army, this question is our bargaining chip! He is determined to win these 30,000 people, but he is difficult and doesn’t know how to start. So, teacher, your work should be closer to this area, and this is my idea.”
Nie Yong was slightly stunned. Liang Wei's pupils suddenly closed and he blurted out: "Yes, Brother Zheng really woke up the dreamer with one word!"
Lu Zheng shook his head and said, "Actually, I was not sure. It was just that the situation was on the verge of the arrow and I had to fire it. Teacher, now our thinking is clear. Let's start with the Nanfu Army and let's open the situation!"
Nie Yong nodded and said, "Brother Zheng, this time you came to Liuhe, otherwise I would still be in circles. I have to say that I have gained a lot in recent times. Through private visits, I have probably learned more about the lives of the people in Liuhe County, and my parents and officials have gradually realized my responsibilities."
"But one thing, where did these land deeds you just came from?"
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "I'm not to hide it from the teacher. When I was in Yangzhou, I secretly contacted some merchants in order to survive. This time, when I came to Liuhe and the teacher, I thought about mastering as much as possible, so I arranged a few merchants to travel to Liuhe.
I secretly asked them to buy the land at Dongmen Wharf. I was going to look for opportunities to see if I could do some business with the Gu family. Unexpectedly, before my idea was implemented, I encountered this incident of Lord Zhan. Just so happened that these land deeds could prove to Lord Zhan that you have been planning secretly and strengthen his confidence!”
Nie Yong sighed: "Brother Zheng is such a genius! The teacher is so ashamed! If it weren't for you this time, the teacher would probably not be able to overcome this difficulty.
Originally, bringing you to Liuhe was to study with peace of mind, but in the end you had to let you share my worries. This was really helpless!"
Nie Yong felt extremely ashamed and couldn't help but sigh inexplicably. He, a Jinshi in the two lists, has always regarded himself as a high-profile scholar, but now he has been compared by a teenager in his teenage years. That feeling is really hard to express in words.
On the other hand, he felt very pleased, because only those like Lu Zheng could become his students, and he felt great honor.
"Once you become an official, you will realize that the world is difficult. Lu Zheng, you will plan for me with Mr. Liang in the future. After you enter the Golden Palace, today's affairs will definitely become your help!" Nie Yongdao.
He said this naturally a great compliment to Lu Zheng's ability. Master Liang Xia has been with him for many years. He can place Lu Zheng as an equally important position in Liang Xia, and he no longer regards Lu Zheng as a student.
Nie Yong is an ambitious person and does not just complain about himself. Lu Zheng is talented, so he wants to make the best use of others. Now it is an extraordinary time for him, and he must overcome the difficulties in front of him.
Liang Jie was shocked when he stood beside him. He heard Nie Yong's tone and wanted to invite Lu Zheng as his master. Look at Lu Zheng's age is only fifteen or sixteen years old, he is really a stinky girl. He was so respected by Nie Yong at such a young age?
But Liang Jing thought carefully that Lu Zheng was indeed powerful and could help Nie Yong overcome the difficulties when he was in Yangzhou. Not long after he came to Liuhe recently, Nie Yong's situation improved.
On the other hand, Liang Wei claimed to be good at making good plans, but his vision was too narrow in terms of the overall situation and could not help Nie Yong at all, which made him feel ashamed.
Lu Zheng said: "Teacher, thank you for your trust! Since that's the case, then we are a big game. To play this game well, we should plan it well.
Generally speaking, there are three parties in this game. The first party is the Nanfu Army, the second party is the Gu family, and the third party is Zhan Tianqi. There are many people involved…”
Lu Zheng used his pen to describe various characters and relationships on rice paper, and through his description of Liang Wei, he gradually understood Lu Zheng's intention.
Jiang is old after all, and Liang Wei is weaker than the overall situation, but he is definitely a top-notch master in controlling people's hearts and using local power-making methods.
The three of them conspired until late at night. Nie Yong felt as if the clouds were clearing in front of him, and he suddenly became enlightened. He had nearly half a year of office and had never felt as comfortable as he is now. He was very excited and his confidence soared. His description of temperament was completely different from before.
...
In Liuhe County, Nie Yong opened a trial.
These cases are several cases he has personally verified during his recent private visit. Today, from the yamen to the county magistrate, everyone clearly feels that the momentum of the county magistrate is different from before.
Nie Yong's trial of the case was clear, quick-thinking, and decisive and decisive. Everyone at the scene was convinced.
After several cases were tried, Qiao Zhisong, Cui Jing, and the head of Bo Ding Wenjie were all uneasy.
"Mr. Nie is here!" The yamen runner who was guarding the gate shouted loudly.
If it were on weekdays, Qiao Zhisong and others would have to make a gesture, but today, the three of them stood up almost at the same time, waiting for Nie Yong to come over with a solemn look on their faces.
Nie Yong walked in with a smile and said, "Three sirs, don't be polite, sit, sit! sit all!"
Nie Yong pressed his hand and signaled that the three of them would sit down. He said, "Several adults, Mr. Zhan came to my Liuhe County two days ago. The adults and I have already discussed it and are ready to let the Nanfu Army go down the mountain. The base is along the coast of our river. I found someone to hand-draw the map on the wall. You can see that there are three piers in Liuhe, the east gate, the west gate and the river valley pier.
Such a long line is a hundred miles long! Let the Nanfu Army guard the embankment, and the people feel at ease. Let the Nanfu Army guard our Liuhe shipping, the merchants feel at ease. The Nanfu Army divides and governs the Nanfu Army, and the imperial emperor feel at ease.
More importantly, with tens of thousands of troops from the Southern Prefecture Army, our Liuhe County will never be affected by floods. My lords, what do you think?"
"Ah..." The three of them exclaimed, "The Southern Mansion Army wants to move its defenses? And it wants to move to the riverside? This is a big deal. Did Lord Zhan come yesterday for this matter?
Qiao Zhisong frowned slightly and said, "Mr. County Master, there are many water along the river, and the three wharfs are not big. Tens of thousands of people are not many people. If you really want to station, you have to use how much manpower and material resources to reclaim the camp..."
"Mr. Qiao, you don't have to worry about these things. I naturally have arrangements for money. This time, I planned to use 200,000 taels of silver. In the next period of time, the important task of our county is to assist Lord Zhan in doing this. I remember it all. This matter is very important and involves a lot. You must keep your mouth shut. If this news is leaked, be careful that I will turn against you and refuse to recognize others when you look back!" Nie Yong said erectly.
Qiao Zhisong and the other three instantly became extremely strange. They felt Nie Yong's murderous aura and couldn't help but nod, and Qiao Zhisong smiled and said:
"Don't worry, Lord County Master, we must cooperate with the adults seriously. If this matter is done, the adults will make great achievements for thousands of years. With the origin of an adult, we will definitely be able to be promoted, haha..."
Nie Yong said lightly: "I don't want to be a good parent and guard the people of this area for the emperor! Okay, you all do your own job, I'll go down first!"
Nie Yong left with his long sleeves, Qiao Zhisong and others were all confused. They didn't know what Nie Yong meant. How could this matter be kept secret? The affairs of the Nanfu Army were a huge matter. His every move was not only paid attention to Jiangnan, but also to the capital thousands of miles away.
The Nanfu Army is about to change its garrison. This kind of thing is within the authority of Zhan Tianqi. The question is what this matter means? With Qiao Zhisong and others now in their identities, they cannot judge the meaning behind this action and the consequences that may be caused by this matter.
"That...haha, I feel uncomfortable today. I'll lose my companion first, sir!" Qiao Zhisong said with a dry laugh.
Cui Jing frowned slightly and said, "Does Lord Qiao still want to enter the city? Are you afraid that it was the bait that Lord County Master deliberately put on?"
Qiao Zhisong was shocked and his face returned to normal. This matter was too important. Even if Nie Yong did it on purpose, he could not refuse to report it.
The Gu family has important interests in Liuhe County, and the biggest interest is the river valley wharf in Liuhe. Now the Nanfu Army is going to be transferred here. How many reasons are there and what consequences will be caused in the future? These are all issues that the Gu family must be concerned about.
Qiao Zhisong left the county government with thoughts, so he naturally would not go to Gu's family, but went straight to find He Lianggong. It was most suitable to leave these things to He Lianggong for errands.
Cui Jing and Ding Wenjie followed closely behind, their hearts were in a mess. They never expected that Nie Yong, who had been silent, would suddenly exert his strength.
Judging from the current situation, subordinates like Qiao Zhisong and Cui Jing are likely to be split because of this. After all, everyone is their own leader. When there is nothing to do, everyone can be in a mess. Once they are involved in their own interests, it will be different.
Once that happens, Nie Yong will win a great opportunity. As long as the bottom is not a solid piece, he is the parent official of Liuhe County. He will defeat it one by one, and in the end, the power of the county lord will be firmly controlled by him.
