Chapter 1019 Xiangyang's Future Development Direction

"Your Majesty will remember the Lord's teachings and live up to the Lord's expectations!" Kuai Wu bowed and said sincerely.

It's not that Mujing's chicken soup for the soul is useful.

The key is attitude.

Mu Jing is willing to say such a thing, saying that Mu Jing has already put him in his heart, and this is what makes Kuai Wu feel at ease. He was originally a temporary replacement. He didn't have such ambitions at first, but since he sat up This position, if he is kicked out, he will naturally feel unwilling and ashamed.

So what he is thinking now is how to remove the generation character, enter the official duties of the prefect, and also enjoy the power of a prefect. The prefect of the Minghou Mansion is reassigned only once every three years. Once he really becomes the prefect, As long as you don't go out on business, within three years, you can sleep peacefully.

What he is most afraid of now is that Mu Jing doesn't care about him as the acting sheriff at all, but is just going to let him make a transition, then he won't be able to work as the acting sheriff of Xiangyang for long, let alone what he wants to achieve Come.

Now that Mujing is willing to encourage him, it means that Mujing has some optimism about him and has expectations for him, so he has hope.

"Everyone stop standing, sit down!"

Mu Jing waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down.

"promise!"

Everyone nodded and sat in rows on the left and right, but their attitudes seemed a little reserved.

Many people saw Mujing for the first time.

It's not that they haven't been to Jiangzhou for job interviews. Basically, when they are in their position, they have to go to Jiangzhou every year for job interviews. It's just that Mujing has been busy in the past two years, and the one who receives them is Nan There are more Liu Jin in the study.

There are many rumors about Mujing.

But no matter how many rumors there are, they are still just rumors. When they met Mujing for the first time, they felt uneasy in their hearts.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Mu Jing stepped up to the head of the position and knelt down.

At this time, Jin Jiu brought a few people and came in with tea. There were teapots and teacups in front of everyone's desks. Inside the teapots, there was a pot of high-quality tea brewing. get.

"You are all the pillars of Xiangyang. I am far away in Jiangzhou, and I cannot reach it. In the future, Xiangyang will need your efforts to make the place peaceful and the people live in peace. Today I am here, and I will replace wine with tea. I respect you!"

Mu Jing raised the teacup and said to the crowd with a smile.

At this time, the amicable attitude he needs will make everyone feel like a spring breeze, and if they are calmed down, Xiangyang will be soothed.

"Respect the Marquis Mansion!"

"My lord!"

Everyone raised their teacups one after another, replacing wine with tea, in response to Mu Jing.

After a cup of tea, the atmosphere relaxed a lot, and the crowd didn't seem to gather that much. This time, the meeting is considered to be getting better.

Mu Jing's time in Xiangyang is running out, only two or three days at most, he must go north as soon as possible, after patrolling Nanyang, he will also enter Hanzhong to supervise the battle in northern Xinjiang, the situation in the Central Plains is too chaotic, he can't stand it anymore, so Can't wait to go to the battlefield to experience it.

Standing outside the game, maybe calm down and see it more clearly, but without entering the game, he still can't feel the changes of the whole chessboard, and he can't figure out that Dong Zhuo can reach that level without seeing the tension of the battle for himself.

So he took advantage of this opportunity to come to a meeting in Xiangyang. There are so many people here, so he can discuss the future development of Xiangyang.

Xiangyang County is a county area separated from Nanjun and Nanyang.

This is very important in terms of geographical location, and Mujing is preparing to attack Jingzhou. Once he attacks Jingzhou, Xiangyang will bear the brunt.

Liu Biao has been trying his best for several years. If he said that he didn't want to take back Xiangyang City or revive Jingzhou, Mu Jing himself didn't believe it. Once the battle of Jingzhou started, war would definitely break out in Xiangyang.

The outbreak of war is not terrible, what is terrible is the hearts of the people in the city.

Xiangyang was originally the main city of Jingzhou, and Liu Biao had been operating it for many years. The aristocratic families who followed Liu Biao were deeply rooted here. They were not afraid of outside attacks, but they were afraid that they would stir up internal strife.

So before that, Mujing had better make Xiangyang more stable, so as to avoid this situation from happening.

However, Mu Jing should take these things to heart first. With so many people here, Mu Jing's main task is to let them know himself and give them enough peace of mind, so as to ensure the stability of the management first.

Mujing took the initiative to get to know these officials.

"Tan Su, I didn't want you to come back, but I can't help it. In Xiangyang City now, you should work hard to assist Kuai County Guard and make Xiangyang as stable as possible!" Subordinates still have the ability to make subordinates feel kind.

"This subordinate will definitely assist Lord Fu Zun to ensure the safety of Xiangyang!"

Tan Su was Hou Qing's subordinate at the beginning and a hero who established Xiangyang County, but later, in order to ease the pressure on Jingzhou, Hou Qing was arrested and returned to Jiangzhou. To show justice, he stayed in prison for a year and was released last year. , but now that the conflict with Jingzhou is not aroused for the time being, he will be idle at home. When there is a war with Jingzhou, he will be reused. The master of Nanshufang is engaged in it.

Because Cai Tu was transferred, he was transferred back.

After all, he had governed Xiangyang County back then, and no one was more familiar with Xiangyang than him.

"You are Ming Leng!" Mu Jing walked to the side of the middle-aged man, and said with a smile: "I remember you, last year you were only the county magistrate of Fancheng, because of your outstanding ability, Cai Tu personally promoted you to be the magistrate of Xiangyang!"

"You are in Fancheng, and you have heard a little about the affairs of governing the three major gentry and wealthy families. You have done a good job. Under Mingke, there is no distinction between high and low. Although the emperor breaks the law, it is far away to commit the same crime as the common people, but the law enforcement should be done. Have a fair and strict heart!"

"Fearless pressure, the justice of talent is in the name!"

"Cai Tu's promotion of you, many people say it is selfishness, but I think he did the right thing, not just for our Minghou Mansion, but more for the lives of the people, so I hope you will do better in the future!"

Mu Jing is very optimistic about Ming Leng.

This relative of the Cai family, a middle-aged man who has a deep friendship with Cai Tu, is a person of good ability, and his character is strong enough. He even intends to be transferred to work in the Facao, but now he needs to continue to investigate.

"My subordinates will remember the Lord's teaching!" Ming Leng looked a little excited, and he responded loudly to Mu Jing's words.

"You are Lu Jun, the chief bookkeeper of the Xiangyang County Governor's Mansion, good at managing accounts, and doing everything in an orderly manner..." Mu Jinghuyou has one by one, affirming their work is a kind of peace of mind for them .

Most of these officials are actually scholars who were born as bastards in the collateral line of Jingzhou gentry.

What they lack is not ability.

It is an attitude of being recognized.

Mujing seemed to have grasped the key point, and with a few words, he made them grasp each and every one of them.

This time, although the time was short, the meeting went smoothly, and Mu Jing was quite satisfied. Cai Tu was the sheriff at the beginning, and it was the most correct choice. It wasn't Cai Tu, and he couldn't win over this group of people. Talents who can govern and influence Xiangyang.

It wasn't until midnight that the crowd dispersed with satisfaction.

In the end, Mu Jing left Kuai Wu, the prefect, alone.

"Yongli, the foundation of Xiangyang, Cai Tu has sorted it out. At present, I am also very satisfied with the development of Xiangyang, but there is one thing..." Mu Jing narrowed his eyes, looked at Kuai Wu, and said faintly: "Xiangyang It must be Xiangyang of the Minghou Mansion!"

"My lord, since we have joined the Marquis of Ming's Mansion and surrendered to our lord, we will have no second thoughts!" Kuai Wu was a little nervous when he was left alone by Mu Jing, but now he was even more uneasy, and quickly expressed his opinion.

"I don't doubt you!"

Mu Jing said to Kuai Wu: "It is my principle to employ people without doubting others. If I dare to employ you, I will trust you. But you know, I know, this used to be Xiangyang City in Jingzhou, and the people here, Nostalgia, the forces here also miss the old days, once Liu Jingsheng leads the army to counterattack Xiangyang, do you know how many people in the city will join the enemy?"

When Kuai Wu heard this, his expression collapsed, he smiled wryly, and remained silent.

Because he dare not deny this existence.

Even if they are people, most of them come from which family. Although they have broken with the family, once the family recognizes the status of some people in the family and invites them to return, even these people who have taken refuge in the Minghou Mansion may not be alone. A very firm.

Family is sometimes more important than personal future.

"Yongli, you also understand in your heart that this kind of existence is inevitable. As the sheriff, the sheriff of Xiangyang County under the Minghou Mansion, do you know how heavy your next task is?" Mu Jing asked.

The future development direction of Xiangyang County is not the economy, but the peace of the people. To be precise, it is to promote the presence of the Minghou Mansion and suppress the existence of the Jingzhou State Shepherd Mansion as much as possible. This is the foundation of Xiangyang's foothold.

Xiangyang can only be the Xiangyang of the Marquis of Ming Dynasty, not Liu Jingsheng's Xiangyang.

"Subordinates understand!" Kuai Wu took a deep breath and nodded.

"Are you confident?" Mu Jing asked Kuai Wu.

There are some things that Mujing can't do because they have too much influence, but people with identities like Cai Tu Kuaiwu can do them without any scruples. The harder they do, the more profound the presence of Minghou Mansion will be.

"Have!"

Kuai Wu gritted his teeth and nodded firmly.

This is a danger, if he doesn't pay back, he will become the public enemy of Xiangyang, but if he has a chance, he needs credit for turning around, and if he survives this test, he can become a decent prefect of Xiangyang.

It's like when Cai Tu seized this position back then, he could turn against his family as much as he wanted, and was cast aside by many Jingzhou gentry, but for the sake of his future and to find another way, he had to bite the bullet and do it.

Family, future, these are things that need to be chosen.

Cai Tu did a good job at the beginning.

Now he is also facing such a choice, and he must be more determined than Cai Tu in order to be more convincing.
