Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 22 Beginning to show the strategy, the emperor needs to have authority

Zheng Ping picked up the feather fan with his right hand, and slapped his shoulder lightly, lightly like a jade: "The county lord knows, how many powerful and powerful families are there in Gaotang County, who have the benefit of controlling the mountains and marshes?"

Liu Bei was stunned, and then felt ashamed: "I don't know this."

Although when he was a county lieutenant, Liu Bei often asked about the cold and warm in the city, which was well liked by the scholars, the common people, but after all, Liu Bei's foundation was still shallow, and he didn't know much about the real powerful tycoons in Gaotang County.

But soon, Liu Bei understood Zheng Ping's meaning: "Sir, through Hu Zhao, let me make friends with the powerful and powerful people in Gaotang County."

"These tyrannical and powerful masters must have food to control the mountains and swamps."

"The county magistrate, Hu Zhao, is in charge of money and food, and he is involved with all these powerful families on weekdays."

"In this way, this person cannot be killed."

Zhang Fei snorted coldly: "This guy is cheap!"

Zheng Ping chuckled: "Nowadays when employing people, it's not a bad thing to tolerate some small mistakes by the scattered officials under your command."

"As long as the county lord establishes prestige, rewards and punishments are clearly defined, and talents will stand out."

Liu Bei understood.

It is very difficult to pursue the Qingping of officials from the beginning.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Most of the scattered officials in Gaotang County are from this county.

Who doesn't have friends and relatives?
There is no room for sand in his eyes, and as soon as he takes office, he must let this group of scattered officials be honest and honest.

That would be as difficult as turning a hen into a male.

The county magistrate is honest and honest, and selects talents and appoints talents. Naturally, the scattered officials in the county will follow suit and be proud of it.

The county magistrate is greedy for money and lustful, jealous of the virtuous and capable, even the virtuous among the scattered officials will only choose to be wise and protect themselves, and be a mediocre official who does nothing.

Soon.

When the county magistrate Hu Zhao arrived, two yamen servants behind him brought a large box.

"Hu Xiancheng, what do you mean?" Liu Bei looked a little worried.

Hu Zhao asked the yamen servant to step back first, glanced at Zheng Ping who was at the guest seat, and then bowed to Liu Bei!
"The next official, Hu Zhao, is the county magistrate of Gaotang County who served as the county magistrate of Zhongping for four years, and has been in office for more than three years."

"My father, Hu Ding, had the honor to study laws and regulations under Mr. Kang Cheng."

Good guy!
Is this a rush to start a relationship?
Liu Bei looked at Zheng Ping. Hu Zhao claimed to be a member of Zheng Xuan's sect. Regardless of whether it was true or not, Liu Bei had to be careful.

Zhang Fei didn't have this concern, but said: "You say it is? Mr. Kang Cheng is such a noble and virtuous man, and all the disciples under his command are virtuous. How can there be a son like you who is so reckless?"

"Even if there is, my elder brother punishing you is also cleaning up Mr. Kang Cheng's house!"

Liu Bei's eyes also became severe.

Hu Zhao broke out in cold sweat, and argued: "The county respects Mingjian, you are not afraid of officials, but you are afraid of management!"

"The previous county lieutenants all died strangely, and the next official is just a weak county magistrate, how dare he disobey the order of the county magistrate?"

Zhang Fei walked towards Hu Zhao viciously, his finger bones cracked, "You still dare to argue? I will remove this scourge for you!"

Hu Zhao was so frightened that he even shouted to Zheng Ping: "Near my father Xiangxue's heart, please Mr. Zheng save me!"

Zhang Fei's fist landed on the bridge of Hu Zhao's nose, and he turned to Zheng Ping: "Sir, do you want to intercede for this thief?"

Whether it's actions or speech, Zhang Fei's performance can't fault the slightest bit.

Hu Zhao's sweat drenched his shirt again, and he looked at Zheng Ping eagerly.

"General Yide, since this person claims to have a relationship with my father, I will take it easy to temporarily dispel the thunder's anger. I will ask the county official to explain the reason." Zheng Ping spoke slowly, motioning for Zhang Fei to let him go.

Zhang Fei snorted coldly and retracted his fist, but he did not forget to threaten: "Look at the face of Mr., I will spare your life for now!"

Hu Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

His life was temporarily saved, and then he had to show his value.

"Hu Zhao, you have a chance to recommend yourself to the county magistrate, think it over before you talk about it." Zheng Ping poured a bottle of white water, although the words were plain, but there was an aura of calmness and self-prestige.

Hu Zhao originally wanted to make more connections, but seeing Zheng Ping's attitude, he couldn't help but feel scared.

Putting away the mixed thoughts in his heart, Hu Zhao took a deep breath and turned to Liu Bei: "Your Majesty, I know which family in Gaotang County lacks gold and silver, which family has a surplus of grain and rice, and which family has a wise man at home. .”

"In Gaotang County, there are no powerful families, famous officials and wealthy businessmen that I, Hu Zhao, don't know."

"Wish to be sent by the county lord!"

Speaking of this, Hu Zhao's eyes flashed a little smug.

Hu Zhao was prepared to deal with today's situation as early as when he followed the previous Gaotang Ling to act mischievously.

No matter who is the magistrate of Gaotang, he needs a magistrate who understands Gaotang County!
In troubled times, I am not afraid of you being corrupt and perverting the law, but I am afraid of you being too stupid.

But the next moment, Hu Zhao's complacency froze instantly.

But I saw Zheng Ping waving his feather fan lightly, picking up the powerful and powerful families in Gaotang County like a treasure.

"Mr. Zheng, you? You? How can you be so clear?" Hu Zhao took a step back in shock.

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei also looked at Zheng Ping in surprise.

Zheng Ping chuckled: "When I traveled to Zhuzhou counties in the past, I visited Gaotang County, a famous official, Huaxin, so I naturally know Gaotang County."

Liu Bei was in awe: "Mr. Ziyu is originally from Gaotang County. I also visited when I was a county captain, but Mr. Ziyu went to Luoyang and never returned. I wish I could meet him."

Zhang Fei said in a loud voice, "Since you know Gaotang County well, why do you want to keep Hu Zhao?"

"Looking at his appearance just now, it seems that I am sure that the eldest brother will not dare to kill him!"

Zheng Ping glanced at Hu Zhao: "Those who dare to violate the law and discipline in an official position often think highly of themselves and believe that they cannot be replaced."

"If the county lord wants to use such a person to work, he must first destroy his arrogance, so that he can be cautious and correct his identity at all times."

"Although the county lord is lenient, he still has to establish authority."

Hu Zhao broke out in a cold sweat!
Zheng Ping completely disregarded his own presence, and explained clearly what was in his mind.

How arrogant is this?
Liu Bei understood.

Zheng Ping is helping himself to control his subordinates.

Hu Zhao dared to act like this because he believed that he had mastered the indispensable information for Liu Bei to gain a foothold in Gaotang County.

But now, Zheng Ping has turned the intelligence that Hu Zhao is so proud of into dispensable.

How can this not make Hu Zhao panic?
Zhang Fei laughed loudly, feeling very happy in his heart: "I saw that Hu Zhao was not pleasing to the eye. If so, I will send Hu Zhao to prison and torture him about the whereabouts of the gold and silver that he secretly hid."

Hu Zhao was in a hurry.

Hu Zhao was caught off guard by the turn of events.

This shouldn't be the result!

Hu Zhao lost his arrogance any more, and begged Liu Bei for mercy: "The county lord, I'm subdued! I hope the county lord will be merciful!"

"After being dismissed from office, you must obey orders, and dare not have half-hearted intentions!"

Seeing Liu Bei's uneasy expression, Hu Zhao looked at Zheng Ping again: "Young Master Zheng, although you know the powerful families in Gaotang County, but the affairs in the county are complicated, and it is impossible for you to do everything by yourself."

"The lower official is willing to resign from the position of county magistrate, and is willing to be a casual official by Mr. Zheng's side!"
