Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 142 Luo Youdu's Little Brothers?

Chuzhou.

Zhao Kuangyi was bored dealing with official documents in the city, and the more complicated and trivial matters became more and more irritable, thinking that his elder brother was out fighting and making meritorious deeds, while he could only stay behind and deal with messy official documents.

This huge difference made him really uncomfortable, and he couldn't help thinking to himself: "Brother is brave and indomitable, and I am not by his side, what if I suffer defeat?"

Zhao Kuangyi said impatiently to the soldiers outside the house: "Why hasn't the official who the government arranged to take over the administration of Chuzhou arrived yet? It doesn't mean that they will arrive around Chenshi, and it will be noon! Don't expect any accidents. Go and see the situation. If you arrive , please come to the government office."

He also heard that the surrounding situation was a bit chaotic, but it had nothing to do with Chuzhou where he was. Under his own governance, Chuzhou was still very stable.

Zhao Kuangyi has always been extremely confident in his abilities.

After about half an hour, the soldiers led the two scribes into the government office.

Seeing the two people entering, Zhao Kuangyi's originally irritable and anxious expression immediately changed, he was amiable, walked down from the hall with a smile on his face, and said, "The two must be Dou Changshi and Judge Zhao. You came in a timely manner. There are complicated affairs in the city. , Elder brother leads the army and can’t do without a certain one, so he’s at a disadvantage.”

The two also said hello to Zhao Kuangyi.

"Dou Yi and Zhao Pu have seen Deputy Chief Zhao!"

Zhao Kuangyi was eager to go to the front to assist Zhao Kuangyin in dividing his army, and he couldn't wait to say: "The battle ahead is urgent, why don't we do the handover first?"

Dou Yi is Luo Youdu's neighbor, the eldest son of Dou Yujun, a right-advising doctor.

The Zhou army attacked cities and lands in all directions, and a large number of civil servants were needed to manage these captured cities.

Guo Rong asked officials to recommend him, and at the same time promoted available talents to Huai.

Dou Yi was one of the talents promoted by Wang Pu of Bianjing, who was assigned to Chuzhou.

The old Dou's family had a very strict family education, and their sons were all dragons and phoenixes. Dou Yi was appointed as the governor of Chuzhou, the second in command, and at this moment, she didn't care about settling down, so she agreed.

But Zhao Pu took a step forward at this time and said: "Vice Chief Zhao, we encountered some special circumstances on the next road. There was a civil uprising in the direction of Haozhou, so we took a special detour to delay a little time."

"Today is about to enter the autumn harvest season, and the people have worked hard all year. And Huainan is in chaos. Will the land and grain belong to me, Da Zhou, or Jiangnan? Should I pay the grain tax according to the normal tax, or forcefully collect it in full? At this critical time, the people I feel the most uneasy in my heart, one mistake is a civil uprising."

"This is the case in the direction of Haozhou. The local people and farmers gathered in the mountains and built a fortress wall. They used thick white paper as armor and farm tools as weapons to form the White Armor Army to fight against our Da Zhou and Jiangnan and protect their own grain fields."

"From what I have seen and heard along the way, the people around Chuzhou are stable and peaceful. It can be seen that the Marquis Yu and the deputy governor of Zhao have a long-term vision. They not only have outstanding military achievements, but also take care of the people's livelihood. Too much."

"However, the surrounding state capitals are in chaos, which is bound to affect Chuzhou. We should make countermeasures in advance to prevent problems before they happen."

Zhao Pu is different from Dou Yi.

Zhao Pu has a strategy, but lacks talent, so he is not well-known, and his life is muddled. It was not until the first year of Xiande that he served as Liu Cipi, the military governor of Yongxing Army, and was a colleague of Chu Zhaofu and Wang Renshan.

Liu Ci saw Zhao Pu's strategy and recommended Zhao Pu to the imperial court before his death.

Liu Ci has a good relationship with Prime Minister Fan Zhi, and believes in the eyes of an old friend.

Now that the imperial court is employing people, he was elected as the military judge of Chuzhou.

Zhao Pu knew that this was an opportunity. Compared with Liu Ci, the old senior officer, Zhao Kuangyin was a new star in the army. If he could gain his attention, he would be able to make great achievements and even become an official in the center.

Along the way, he explored the people's livelihood and understood the people's sentiments in order to perform well in front of Zhao Kuangyin in order to gain reuse.

When I came to Chuzhou, I found that Zhao Kuangyin was going out to fight, and Zhao Kuangyi was also anxious to go to the front line.

Zhao Pu didn't care so much, and directly discussed with Zhao Kuangyi about the secrets of Chuzhou's civil affairs.

Logically speaking, Dou Yi is the chief historian, he is the military judge, the second and third in command of Chuzhou.

The two brothers Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi are not here, and they have the right to handle any important military and political affairs.

But Zhao Pu is utilitarian and unwilling to share his merits with Dou Yi, so he directly discussed with Zhao Kuangyi and flattered them both.

The so-called "the people are stable and the people have no worries" are all boasting.

Zhao Kuangyin is a general who was single-handedly selected by Guo Rong, and he knows very well that his emperor's character and temper are different from those arrogant soldiers.Zhao Kuangyin was naturally on the same front as Guo Rong, and his character was unquestionable. The army he led had excellent military discipline among the Great Zhou Army.In Chuzhou, there is indeed no evil deed of looting or oppressing the common people.

But it is pure nonsense to say that people are more caring and sympathetic.

Zhao Kuangyin's mind is full of meritorious deeds, the life and death of the people, what does he have to do with a general?
Zhao Kuangyi accidentally glanced at Zhao Pu, he was deep in his thoughts, and saw that Zhao Pu had the intention of defecting to their brothers, and said with a gentle smile: "Judge Zhao's praise is all for the sake of the government, so he should do his best. I don't know what advice Zhao Pu has? "

Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyi immediately looked at Mung Bean like a bastard, and they met each other.

Zhao Pu was excited and felt like pointing the country. He said loudly: "What the people think and think is simply to live on. As long as this is satisfied, they will not rebel. Just a little comfort. Chuzhou is now The key is that the gentry failed to understand the benevolent government of the imperial court, so I propose to emulate the benevolent government of Commander Luo Du in Luzhou, and tie the gentry in Chuzhou with benefits. At the same time, the common people will also benefit and will not be affected by the surrounding area."

Zhao Pu's eyes are still extremely vicious.

Zhao Kuangyin despised literati, and when he entered the city, he whipped the famous He family in Chuzhou with a horsewhip.

As a result, the He family's glass was heartbroken and unwilling to be humiliated.

Zhao Kuangyi killed chickens to make an example to monkeys and wiped out the whole family.

This move caused some uneasiness to some extent, and Zhao Pu proposed this in order to resolve the conflict between the gentry in the city.

Dou Yi is a upright person, like her father, she doesn't care about Zhao Pu's behavior, as long as it benefits Da Zhou, she ignores it, and said at this moment: "Judge Zhao's words are very kind, Mr. Youdu is the pillar of the country, and he broke the falsehood in Luzhou. The bad government of the Tang Dynasty made the people of Luzhou return to their hearts. We should follow this example to stabilize the hearts of the gentry and common people in Chuzhou."

The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms emphasized martial arts over culture, and few scholars could stand on the cusp of the storm.

Old Changle Feng Dao was one in the past, and now Luo Youdu is.

Feng Dao was called "shameless" by later generations Ouyang Xiu, and Sima Guang even denounced him as "a treacherous official".

And Luo Youdu rose against the tide. In this era when warriors were in power, martial arts and martial arts were transcendent and highly respected.

Dou Yi is Luo Youdu's little fan.

Zhao Kuangyi looked at the one or two fans of Luo Youdu in front of him, and felt as disgusted as eating a fly.
