Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 120: All people outside the county government office
Li Zhi tapped his fingers on the table and looked at the memorial in his hand again. Looking at Chen Qingsi's perfect performance in the face of the wind and snow, he felt even more strange.

The snow disaster in the south of the Yangtze River is not only affected by the snow disaster in Muzhou, but also in Runzhou, Changzhou, Suzhou, Huzhou, Shezhou and Muzhou in the east region of the Yangtze River.

Judging from the situation reported by various states, it is not that there are no outstanding officials.

Among them, the magistrates of Wucheng County in Huzhou and Xiuning County in Shezhou performed very well, no less than Chen Qingsi.

The reason is very simple. One of the two county magistrates is from Yingzhou and the other is from Lingzhou. Both of them grew up in a bitter cold land. They are used to seeing wind and snow, and they have even seen wind and snow stronger than this time in the south of the Yangtze River. I have experienced it several times.

They knew how to deal with snow disasters and responded correctly the first time.Coupled with the wealth and strength of the two places, there is no pressure to deal with it.

But Chen Qingsi, a southerner who had never been to the north of the Yangtze River in his life, made the most correct decision at the first time when faced with the rare snowstorm in the south of the Yangtze River. It is really amazing.

In particular, Muzhou is in a post-war recovery state and lacks strength and the ability to resist disasters.

Under such harsh circumstances, it is commendable to be able to minimize casualties and take care of the other two counties.

Li Zhi also had some difficulties for a while. His original intention was to let the other party practice and temper before entrusting him with important tasks, but the result was completely ineffective...

Should he maintain his position in the south of the Yangtze River, or should he be directly transferred to the capital to speed up his pace?

Li Zhi hesitated for a moment, put the memorial in his hand aside, and put it aside for the time being.

He put his mind back on the war in the west. This time Cheng Zhijie returned without success. Instead of solving the scourge of the Western Turks, it only fueled their arrogance and threatened the imperial court's rule in the Western Regions.

No matter what, you can't bear it, you must win it back.

Li Zhi soon faced a question: Who will be the coach?
Li Ji!

Undoubtedly the best choice.

But Li Zhi quickly denied it. Changsun Wuji still had power in the temple, and Li Ji needed to check and balance him.

Cheng Zhijie, a former veteran of many battles, becomes less courageous and unreliable as he gets older.

Su Dingfang!
He might be able to, but...

At this time, Su Dingfang had no experience as a head coach, but his resume was impressive. 20 years ago, he followed Li Jingbei to attack the Turks. He personally led [-] cavalry as the vanguard, rode directly into the Turkic royal court, and killed hundreds of enemies. .However, he was punished for the war and plundering, and he was buried for twenty years.

In the spring of the sixth year of Yonghui, Tang Dynasty attacked Goguryeo. Su Dingfang crossed the Liao River, and Goguryeo attacked halfway across the river.Cheng Mingzhen and Su Dingfang faced ten times the area and were able to defeat them. They killed and captured more than 1000 people, burned their outer cities and villages, and returned to the army.

Then last year, Su Dingfang's five hundred troops attacked the Western Turks' [-] cavalry and established the victory. It was a jaw-dropping battle.

However, his lack of prestige was his fatal flaw. Because of this, after he performed meritorious services, he aroused the jealousy of the deputy general manager Wang Wendu, which caused the army to return without success after the victory.

If Su Dingfang is used as commander, he must not use old people in the army.

Su Dingfang couldn't resist and wanted to choose a rising star from the younger generation.

As an emperor, when facing a war, every aspect must be considered. Li Zhi, who had already suffered a loss, learned his lesson.

Ren Yaxiang, Xiao Siye, Cen Li, Liu Renyuan...

A person suddenly appeared in Li Zhi's mind, Wang Fangyi. This person was also a man of talent.

Li Zhi immediately summoned Li Ji, Lai Ji, Cui Dunli, and Li Yifu to discuss the important matter of sending troops, and the selection of candidates was also discussed.

When Li Yifu heard that Wang Fangyi was among them, he couldn't help but feel frightened. He stepped on Queen Wang and came to the throne. Wang Fangyi was Queen Wang's cousin. Once he made military exploits and rose up, it would be detrimental to him. He immediately said: "Wang Fangyi is a fierce person and will not obey the rules." , Wang Wendu has a favor for him, and he is afraid of ruining the overall situation."

Li Zhi thought it was reasonable when he heard it, and excluded Wang Fangyi from the selection of candidates for the expedition.

For the next three days, Li Zhi had been dealing with the matter of another expedition to the Western Turks. Until this day, he received a memorial impeaching Wang Fangyi for his unfilial piety.Li Zhi looked at the memorial in his hand and at the signature of the impeachment, Dali Zhenghou Shanye, and frowned into the character "Sichuan".

In order to deal with Changsun Wuji and resist the Guandong gentry, he promoted several ministers from the Han clan and entrusted them with important tasks. After deposing the king and establishing Wu, they ran around and made great achievements. Hou Shanye was one of them.

Li Zhi was also very satisfied with them. The leaders were all promoted, and the most powerful Li Yifu even entered the temple to worship the prime minister.

But this group of people has been a little arrogant recently, especially Li Yifu, who actually caused trouble and caused a scandal.

If it weren't for the overthrow of Changsun Wuji, Li Yifu would be of great use and would have to give him a beating.

Wang Fangyi's impeachment this time was no accident. It must have been done by someone from Li Yifu.

Li Yifu's recent actions are indeed a bit extreme, which makes Li Zhi, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, a little uncomfortable.

The four words "a nest of snakes and rats" appeared in Li Zhi's mind. When he thought about it carefully, none of the Han tribes he promoted were good people. They were all detestable people.It is indeed easy to use, but if this continues, the reputation of the Han clan will be completely ruined by this group of people, and they will be reviled by thousands of people. How can they gain popularity in the world?
Ever since, Li Zhi thought of the man far away in Jiangnan...

Among the Han tribe, no one can compare with him in terms of his good official reputation and high reputation.

Just when Li Zhi was struggling, Chen Qingsi, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, ended his trip in Tonglu County.

Chen Qingsi handed the official seal in his hand to Dai County Cheng Liuhai and said: "This is the preliminary development plan. If there is anything you don't understand, you can come to Qingxi County and have it revised."

The former county magistrate Yanying of Tonglu County, as well as the county's chief bookkeeper and officials were all captured by Sima Gaoliang sent by Xu Yushi.

This time Tonglu County is completely out of control.

Chen Qingsi had no choice but to temporarily take over the affairs of Tonglu County. He promoted him to be a magistrate, and asked Xu Yushi to let him serve as acting county magistrate concurrently to handle the affairs of the county.

Tonglu County suffered serious losses due to the snowstorm this time. Houses in the county and surrounding villages collapsed seriously. As winter passes day by day, Tonglu County will be in trouble throughout the next year if we do not step up planning and development in this last period.

Chen Qingsi was appointed at the critical moment, and while his authority was still there, he set a strategy for Tonglu County for the coming year. He did not deny Ji Wen's strategy of attaching importance to silkworms.

Ji Wen's development direction is correct, but he is too small-minded and does not know how to take the overall situation into consideration and develop in an all-round way.

Chen Qingsi took advantage of this opportunity to deeply integrate Qingxi County and Tonglu County to form a state of complementary resources and develop together.

If Ji Wen had taken a step back, it was still unclear who would be the boss of the two counties in the future and who would have the final say.

Tonglu County relies on the Fuchun River, and its resources are no worse than those of Qingxi County. It just loses out on the Zhao family's workshop.

Qingxi County was Chen Shuozhen's main camp, and the damage caused by the war was far more serious than Tonglu County.

When it comes to overall strength, Tonglu County is still above Qingxi County.

But now after this snow disaster, Tonglu County will not be able to compete with Qingxi County in the short term.

In the next few years, we are destined to rely on Qingxi County to move forward.

Liu Hai studied with Chen Qingsi for more than twenty days and benefited a lot. He raised his hands respectfully, took the official seal, and said: "I am stupid and dare not consider myself as my disciple. Now I have my teacher's guidance and teachings, which I will never forget for the rest of my life."

Chen Qingsi smiled, patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go!"

He strode out of the county government office, but he paused: there were people outside the county government office.
