Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 193 Fan Jun
Backed by Jinghu Lake, relying on the hard work of farm disciples with inner strength, and with the help of auxiliary government agencies to farm cattle, a Jingxian County has risen from the ground.

Although it is still in its infancy, in addition to the three thousand Gonggong Hall disciples who were sent one year ago, there are also people from the mountains and countryside of Jinghu Lake and even people from Yue who are attracted to this county that exudes vitality.

The construction of the city was officially authorized by the Chu State with the help of the power of the Xiang family. The Chu State did not need to provide any help to Jingxian County, and the individual matters in Jingxian County were only decided by Jingxian County.

Jinghu Lake is really too remote. Chu State has been in chaos for the past two years and has no time to take care of it.

Moreover, at the beginning of this year, the Qin army followed Wang Jian's proposal and launched an offensive on the Wei-Chu border. As expected, the main force of the Chu army did not respond.

The envoy of Qin arrogantly told the king of Chu that Qin's move was to attack Wei. At this time, the negative impact of Chu's replacement of two kings had not yet been resolved, and the troublesome local forces were even more entrenched.Now Qin's ambition to annex the world is clearly revealed. Even if he knew that the front of the Qin army would be directed at him after Wei, the King of Chu could only swallow his anger and give in in exchange for Chu's preparation time.

The people on the border between Wei and Chu suffered military disasters. Among them, Qin general Li Xin was okay, but another Qin general Tu Sui killed people along the way, resulting in a large number of people having to become refugees. However, these precious population resources were very difficult for the Chu state to prepare for war. Don’t worry, it’s not Jing County’s turn to take advantage of it. Jing County’s largest source of labor is Yue people.

During this period, a large area along the southeast coast was collectively known as Baiyue.The people of Baiyue are far away from the Central Plains, and they are far behind the seven countries in both culture and technology.The area where Jinghu Lake is located has been the territory of the Kingdom of Wu and Yue since ancient times. It has experienced the baptism of civilization and is in good condition.

The deeper you go into the southeastern hills, the more powerful the people from different tribes there become.

But even the Vietnamese labor force, which is ignored by most powerful people, has other forces competing with Gonggongtang.

"Fan Jun?" Lu Wei, who arrived in Jing County, heard a strange name from Yan Shen, who had become the county magistrate.

"It's Mr. Fan!" Yan Shen nodded. He was a little afraid of this name: "It is said that this man is less than twenty years old, but he is already the leader of a party. He has more than [-] elite soldiers and occupies Fan Lake in the east. It has a very high reputation among the Baiyue people in the southeast."

"Although Fanhu and Jinghu are far apart, and generally there is no contact between the two sides, this Fanjun also spontaneously built a new county based on Fanhu, doing the same thing as us."

"For Baiyue's trade, Fanjun's caravan is our direct competitor."

"Fan Jun." Lu Wei was somewhat familiar with the name, but couldn't recall it. However, in any case, a young man who started from scratch can actually recruit five thousand subordinates, and the other people in the government will only be more. Such strength will be deceived by the local government. One side is powerful.

The master of the hall relied on the farmers and the authority of the Xiang family to build the rudimentary form of Jing County. The help Fanjun received in establishing Fanxian County was by no means as good as the conditions in Jingxian County. However, in the Baiyue area as a whole, it was Fanjun who had more control. People's support cannot be ignored.

After Yan Shen found out about Fan Jun's name in Baiyue, he immediately sent his disciples to Fan Lake to investigate. He calculated that it would take some time before he could come back.

Lu Wei temporarily memorized Fan Jun's name and did not rush to deal with it.He mobilized several small boats belonging to Jing County, and first sent the snow girl Duan Murong and others who came with him to the Jinghu Medical Village on the island in the middle of the lake.

It has been a long time since I left the medical village last time. Fortunately, the dock that Hall Master Lu built at that time was made of strong materials and is very solid. It is still as stable as a mountain in use now.

Duan Murong hurriedly directed the maid to clean out a medical village house. There were still too few rooms dedicated to rest.In the future, people will need to be sent to re-plan and construct this vast island in the middle of the lake. This has been approved by Nian Duan, the actual owner of the medical village.

Dr. Nian Duan did not come back with her this time. She said that she had taught Duan Murong all the knowledge and Duan Murong needed to walk the rest of the journey by herself.

Now that the old doctor has recovered his health, he has not only devoted himself again to his passion for saving lives and healing the wounded, but he has also opened a farm medical department in Gonggong Hall and recruited several more junior brothers and sisters for Duan Murong.

Duan Murong was delighted that her master was so energetic, but she also felt a little disappointed that her love had been taken away.
In Jinghu Medical Village, Dr. Nianduan's request is that she only needs to leave a flat cemetery for her, and let the farmers transform other aspects.

This place is so secluded and beautiful that it is impossible for Lu Wei to build it as a venue for other disciples' activities. After he defaulted to dividing the entire island under his own name, he planned to retain a part of the traditional medical hall and other places to imitate the Daze Mountain. Backyard construction.

Xiao Duanmu has no objection, but the construction of the medical village has not started this year. Only after Jing County is basically completed, there will be extra manpower to build the island in the middle of the lake.

This year we can only squeeze in a little bit and allocate the few rooms according to the carriage allocation plan on the way south.

As for the maids, they brought four from Daze Mountain. Lu Wei kindly voluntarily gave up the room, and he was forced to go to the other two rooms to squeeze in. His room was left to the maids to squeeze in.

The journey from Daze Mountain to Jinghu Lake was tiring, and Xue Nu seemed to have returned to her past experience of being dragged by Lu Wei on horseback from Handan Dan to Jicheng. Sitting in the carriage for a long time was also a huge torment.After she landed on the island of Yizhuang in a daze, she didn't have time to appreciate the sparkling water of the clear lake under the setting sun, before she was pulled into the room, which was quickly cleaned and tidied by Duan Murong, for a pulse check.

The whole thing was fine, but the tired mood needed to be relieved. Lu Ni needed to hold Qian'er and direct the maid to clean the rest of the room, so Xiao Yan'er actively took the prescription from Sister Duanmu and carefully prepared the medicine box in advance. Take the medicine and boil it.

The master of the hall returned to Jingxian County on the bank again. He ordered a table of light dishes to be sent to the island later. Before the sun set, he urgently grabbed Yan Shen and Amu started a discussion about the current situation of Jingxian County.

Most of the three thousand peasant disciples in the core of the city are Zhao people, and the smaller half are Qi people and Yan people. The most direct difference between them and the absorbed Chu people and Baiyue people is reflected in their culture.Due to various cultural barriers, Jing County’s productivity is always limited even if it has leading technical tools.

Farmer disciples are easy to govern, and it is not difficult for the Chu people and Yue people who have come to seek refuge to lure them with food and a place to live, so that they can accept the command. However, if you want to unite them, you need Chu people to rule Chu and Yue people to rule Yue.

Representatives who are willing to cooperate should be selected among the Chu area refugees and Yue people, so that they can appropriately join the middle management of Jing County and actively accept each other.

Tian Guang, the knight leader, volunteered to serve Chang Pingjun, the right prime minister of the Qin State, which led to the rapid expansion of farmers in the Central Plains in the past ten years.Now, if Gonggongtang, which has become a giant, wants to accept people as dogs in Jing County, there will still be a lot of people willing to bark at the door.

Being a dog does not depend on race, only on status.

When he was humble, Lu Wei could say that he had been a dog for the Xu family in Jicheng.

Jingxian County was originally built as a secret base, but after Yan Shen came over for actual inspection, he believed that there was no need to hide it if it was officially considered a county.Like Fan Jun's Fan County, this place is too remote compared to Xianyang, and there are still Yue people living together. Even after the Qin State is unified, it will not be able to exert actual control over Jinghu Lake.

For the sake of stability, as long as Jing County is willing to surrender, it can boldly use the official seal to expand its power.

Jing County is very short of talents, talents like Xiao He.

Yan Shen had the righteousness of being a farmer to command his disciples, and he followed Lu Wei's advice to select people who were knowledgeable about current affairs among the locals. He reluctantly accelerated the development of Jing County, but this was the result of his all-out efforts.

There is no way to continue to make rapid progress in a short period of time. He has been learning the art of war and training in Daze Mountain for these years. When he came to Jing Lake, he was just in charge of the disciples of the farmer's headquarters to clear up wasteland.

Although the proposal to build a county was a conclusion he reached after research, who knew that he would be responsible for the proposal immediately after he proposed it?
The master of the hall knew that it would be difficult for Yan Shen to transform from a military strategist to an administrative talent all of a sudden, but there was really no one else available near Jinghu Lake.

Amu's talent and knowledge should be fully utilized in mechanism skills, and it is not appropriate to distract him unless there is an emergency.

After comforting Yan Shen and promising that a talented person would take over soon, Lu Wei took his girls to play on Jinghu Lake in the past few days.
When Xiao Yaner left Daze Mountain, she put all the fish and crabs she had raised back into the mountain stream. After arriving at Jing Lake, she decisively raised bigger fish here.
Make friends by feeding the white cranes that occasionally stay in the medical village and the swans that flaunt on the lake!
They are rare animals that are not found in Daze Mountain or Jicheng~

The snow girl also likes these elegant birds. Their movements can be integrated into the dance. Although she can't dance now, she can remember them first.

Lu Ni usually spends more time with Duanmu Rong collecting and distributing medicines, and it feels like she needs another daily skill.

Little Qian'er could already walk steadily on the grass of the medical village. The maids took great care of the young master of Gonggong Hall, paying more attention to him than their own safety.

They were all at least three-star stewards and concubines in the Gonggong Hall, so they naturally knew how taking care of the young master would help the family in the future.

After a few days of leisurely play in the medical village, an important news came from the shore, which made Lu Wei raise his eyebrows. He left the medical village and returned to Jingxian County with interesting words:
The spies sent by Yan Shen to Fanhu came back and they were captured alive.
But Fan Jun from Fan Lake did not embarrass these people. He only asked about their identities and released the spies directly. He also sent a caravan to follow them back to Jing County.

Fan Jun's envoy hopes to have peaceful talks with the magistrate of Jing County, so that the two sides can cooperate without conflict.

Baiyue is so big that both sides can divide their spheres of influence.

Yan Shen did not dare to make the decision on such a major matter privately. Even if Lu Qing encountered such cooperation, when Hall Master Lu was in Daze Mountain, he would immediately notify the Hall Master to handle it personally.

Fan County showed kindness, so Jing County naturally had to respond well.

Lu Wei signaled his agreement, changed into coarse linen clothes, and tried to pretend to be a guard of Yan Shen, accompanying him to receive the envoy of Fan Jun!
The meeting place was not in Jingxian County, but tables and chairs were set up beside Jinghu Pier, and we chatted with each other while taking advantage of the cool lake breeze, which was more elegant.

The only representatives from Jingxian County were Yan Shen and bodyguard Lu Wei.

The Fanxian representative also sent only an envoy and an attendant.

The envoy from Fan County was very young, probably no more than fifteen or sixteen years old with an immature face. He claimed to be Fan Jun's younger brother, Wu Bing.

If the title Fan Jun is only familiar, then the name of Changsha Wang Wubing suddenly comes to mind!

This Fanjun envoy is not Fanjun's younger brother, he is clearly Fanjun himself!
If it is this person, it is not surprising that 'Fan Jun' can occupy the hearts of the Baiyue Land.

The ancestor of Wu Bing was the son of King Wu Fu Chai. After the Kingdom of Wu was destroyed, he fled to the Kingdom of Chu. He was unknown in the history books for seven consecutive generations. However, in the generation of Wu Bin's father Wu Shen, Wu Shen served as King Kaolie of Chu for a period of time. Sima was later demoted to Poyang because of his remonstrance.

Lu Wei didn't know about his father's deeds, but what he knew was that when the Qin State attacked Chu, Wu Bin had more than 7000 private soldiers under his command, guarding the Poyang area and entering the land of Baiyue. thoroughfare.

As a local leader in Poyang, Wu Bin hid troops among the people. After the unification of the Qin State, the First Emperor established Fan County in Poyang Lake. The young Wu Bin was unanimously elected as the magistrate of Fan County by the locals.

After the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising, Wu Bin was the first Qin official to join the rebel army. During the Chu-Han War, he joined Liu Bang's camp under Zhang Liang's persuasion. He was the only one of the eight founding kings of the Western Han Dynasty who had different surnames and was not conquered by Liu Bang. Queen Lu killed him.

This is Wu Bin in history. Under the background of the bright moon of the Qin Dynasty, this 'Fan Jun' led his subordinates to establish Fan County five or six years earlier.

His thoughts returned to reality. After watching Wu Bing salute Yan Shen, the master of the hall actually saluted him respectfully:
"If I guess correctly, this guard is the real magistrate of Jing County."

Young Wu Bin has bright eyes and talks confidently:
"Jingxian County is really a place of outstanding people, which is enviable. Both of them are first-class talents, but in terms of status, from my point of view, this 'guard' is still a higher level!"

"It is said in Baiyue that 'Fan Jun' is no more than twenty years old. Looking at it today, it is clear that he is no more than fifteen years old."

Yan Shen opened his mouth but did not say anything. Lu Wei waved his hand to signal him to step aside. He sat down with a faint smile and made a gesture to invite Wu Bing to sit down: "Sure enough, a hero comes from a young man."

"Our disguise was seen through in the first round, and it was a draw."

Wu Bin sat down and was slightly surprised that his identity was revealed, but what the hall master said next was even more surprising:
"No, he is really Yan Shen, the magistrate of Jing County, but I am not a guard. If Mr. Fan can guess my true identity, it will be a draw~"

The wind on Jinghu Lake became stronger, blowing out layers of waves that spread to the center of the distant lake where the edges could not be seen clearly.
