The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1605 Wenlong Arrives in Tangzhou

He stood in front of Chen Wenlong, who was at the front, and his hands were almost close to the insteps of his feet. He was extremely respectful, "Zhang Liangdong has seen Deputy State Secretary Chen!"

Chen Wenlong frowned slightly.

Zhang Liangdong probably didn't expect that Chen Wenlong would not be pleased by his own appearance of such respect.

He didn't know Zhang Liangdong well, so he felt that Zhang Liangdong's big gift was a bit abrupt.It's like being courteous for nothing, rape or steal.

Glancing at Zhang Liangdong lightly, Chen Wenlong said to the Jiangling Mansion garrison general who had just walked up: "Who is this?"

The general said: "Return to the Deputy State Affairs Order, this is Mr. Zhang Liangdong, the prefect of Tangzhou in the Yuan Dynasty."

Then he formally saluted Chen Wenlong, "Gong Qizhi, the deputy commander of the No. 17 Regiment of the Jiangling Mansion Garrison, has seen the deputy state affairs order!"

Chen Wenlong nodded slightly, "Deputy Gong led the army to guard Biyang, you have worked hard."

Looking at Zhang Liangdong who raised his head with a smirk, "Could it be that Mr. Zhang is the one who used to be the magistrate of Fuzhou?"

At the beginning in Fujian, Zhang Liangdong and the Pu family had such a turmoil that Zhao Dongting finally let Zhao Dongting enjoy the success.Even Chen Wenlong knew his name.

It's just that Chen Wenlong didn't pay attention to him, so he didn't know that after Zhang Liangdong fled to the territory of the Yuan Dynasty, he only became the magistrate of Tangzhou.

Although it is also a Zhizhou, Tangzhou is far less rich than Fuzhou.Zhang Liangdong is tantamount to rising up and down in secret.

This made him think of many things, but naturally he would not say these words in front of Zhang Liangdong.

Zhang Liangdong cupped his hands and replied, "I'm right here."

"Go into the city!"

However, Chen Wenlong ignored him, and led the crowd towards the city slowly.

Gong Qizhi hurriedly followed with others to escort Chen Wenlong.

Seeing that Chen Wenlong's attitude suddenly became so indifferent, Zhang Liangdong frowned slightly, and then quickly followed without thinking too much.

He only thought that Chen Wenlong saw him as a surrender, that's why he alienated him so much.After all, this is human nature.

He believed that his behavior of beheading He Lima in Biyang City had completely changed Da Song's impression of him.

At that time, he "had to surrender" for the sake of the common people. With such a character, he would be respected wherever he goes!

A group of people rushed towards the government office slowly.

It didn't take too much effort for the Xianglong Military Region to take Tangzhou back then, and Biyang was not destroyed either. By now, there are no traces left by the war anymore.

There are people walking on the street.

Seeing Chen Wenlong who was escorted by the guards of the Jiangling Mansion, he was slightly surprised and puzzled, and then repeatedly stepped out of the way.

A few hundred meters into the city, Chen Wenlong couldn't help frowning slightly.

As the main residence of Tangzhou, Biyang was still poor and backward beyond his expectations.

Now in the Song Dynasty, even the ordinary county town has a prosperous scene that surpasses this Biyang.

The livelihood of the people in the Yuan Dynasty was really far behind that of the Song Dynasty.

Although his task is not to develop these cities, but to stabilize them, this will eventually be what the officials of the Song Dynasty will do in the future.

Chen Wenlong firmly believed in the Great Song Dynasty's destruction of the Yuan Dynasty.

Go to the government office.

Gong Qizhi, Zhang Liangdong and others followed Chen Wenlong into the main hall.

Chen Wenlong did not drive Zhang Liangdong out either, and after sitting down, he only asked Gong Qizhi, "Deputy Gong, is there any Yuan army surrendering in the city now?"

Gong Qizhi replied: "Reply to the deputy state affairs order, the dungeons in the city are still imprisoning more than [-] soldiers from the Yuan army."

"Um……"

Chen Wenlong nodded ponderingly, "Then, are there any other surrendered troops in Tangzhou?"

Gong Qizhi replied: "There are them in every city. We are already reforming them, but we still dare not release them from prison, and we have no place to arrange them."

Dealing with those soldiers was the biggest problem Chen Wenlong had to solve when he came to the Yuan Dynasty.

These surrendered soldiers had fought for the Yuan Dynasty before. If they were not reformed and given no way to make a living, if they were released, they would probably become bandits among the people.

Chen Wenlong now treats the base areas captured by the Great Song Imperial Army as the land of the Great Song Dynasty, so he naturally does not want such banditry to occur.

"How about this!"

After a while, Chen Wenlong said to Gong Qizhi: "I heard that there is a quarry not far from Biyang, is that right?"

Gong Qizhi couldn't answer, and scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

Seizing this opportunity, Zhang Liangdong hurriedly replied: "Returning to the Deputy State Affairs Order, there is indeed a stone mine fifteen miles east of Biyang. The stone produced by the mine is hard and quite beautiful. It is a favored item for rich people from all over the state to build their homes. The deputy state decree suddenly mentioned this matter, but they plan to send those soldiers to the mines? If this is the case, then the mines in Tangzhou will send all the soldiers to the mines. It is enough to distribute it."

He seemed confident, "There are still more than a dozen large and small mines in Tangzhou's territory. Some of these mines have been abandoned due to the chaos of war and horses, and they are short of labor."

Chen Wenlong looked at him, "It seems that Mr. Zhang is very clear about the situation in Tangzhou..."

Zhang Liangdong said with a smile: "As the magistrate of Tangzhou, these are matters related to the livelihood of the people, so naturally I dare not slack off."

In fact, he knew these mines very well, all because these mines were controlled by the Yuan Dynasty before, and he could make money from them.

Chen Wenlong pondered for a while, and said: "Since that's the case, let's do it like this!"

Gong Qizhi frowned slightly, "Deputy Minister of State, but at this time we don't have so many soldiers to send to the mine to guard these soldiers..."

Chen Wenlong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Just send a small number of soldiers to guard. If you do this, those soldiers who are detained in the dungeon, if they are from Biyang City and perform well in the prison, they can be recruited. For the arrest and defenders of the city, we Da Song will give them salaries and let them serve our Da Song. In this way, there should not be many soldiers left, and those people will be sent to the mine temporarily, so that they can As supervisors. They have nowhere to go, and they have no money and food, so they should not make trouble."

The soldiers in the Biyang dungeon were all the same as before, not many in number, and they were all defenders, so it was relatively easier to arrange them.

Chen Wenlong also intends to let all the officials and soldiers of the Song Dynasty take over the cities of the Yuan Dynasty that are now conquered.

It is impossible to draw so many people.

Moreover, in the long run, the imperial guards of the Great Song Dynasty will eventually withdraw to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.These places still have to be governed by the local people.

What Chen Wenlong has to do is to set up government offices in these places to restore order.As long as there is order, there will be no chaos.

Gong Qizhi nodded upon hearing this.

Chen Wenlong said again: "Deputy Gong is in charge of you and first sent people to inform the cities of Tangzhou, so that the defenders in each city will arrange to surrender in this way first."

"Yes!"

Gong Qizhi took the lead.

Chen Wenlong looked at Zhang Liangdong again, and asked, "Master Zhang, what's the situation in the government offices of the various cities in Tangzhou now? Do you know?"

Zhang Liangdong replied: "The public security of the government offices in each city is now managed by the generals of the Song Dynasty, and the government affairs of the other government offices...some of them have continued to use the original officials, and some have invited people with high morals from the people to preside over them."

Chen Wenlong showed a slight strange look.

I have to say that Zhang Liangdong still has abilities.

"Um……"

But Chen Wenlong didn't say any more, just nodded, and soon let Zhang Liangdong and the others go down.

He stayed in the main hall to meditate.

Although the government offices in various cities in Tangzhou were still in operation, Chen Wenlong didn't know or meet those people, so he was naturally not at ease.He still has to choose the best and take the post.

That night, a priest led by Chen Wenlong brought a person into the government office.

This person's ostensible identity is the owner of a certain grain shop in Biyang City, but in fact, he is a spy placed here by the Military Intelligence Department.

Chen Wenlong planned to carry out rectification starting from Biyang. The most convenient way to get familiar with the origins and nature of the officials in the city was to get information from the dark hall of the Military Intelligence Department.

Thinking about it, no one has more information about those officials in the city than the Military Intelligence Department.After all, this is what the Military Intelligence Department is for.

Zhang Liangdong and others did not know that the master of the dark hall was brought into the government office.

At Zhang Liangdong's level, he may not even know that there is a dark hall of the Military Intelligence Department in Biyang City.

Somewhere in the courtyard of the government office.

Dim oil lamps were lit in the room, and the shadows of several people were reflected on the window paper.
