Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 249 Military Power
As the saying goes, three parts of the world are bright moonlit nights, and two parts are rogues in Yangzhou. With the excavation of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Yangzhou, a city that was not very eye-catching at first, has suddenly become a bright pearl in the world. It is not enough to give him all the beautiful poems.

Although Qin Hao, Li Tai and the others didn't come riding cranes in March for the fireworks, Yangzhou City in early autumn is also very beautiful, especially for these men in Guanzhong, it seems that even the wind blowing is soft.

The voyage that lasted for more than a month is finally over. Although the building boat is quite stable and there are enough entertainment measures on it, it is unbearable to hold the boat for a long time, especially in the past few days when you know that it is coming soon. , I really miss the feeling of stepping on land.

The local officials of Yangzhou Prefecture, who had already received the news, waited respectfully on the shore, making Qin Hao not know how he got down, because he was here to pick up Li Tai, and naturally he was not treated like this as an exiled guy, so he followed Li Tai. It seems a little bad for Tai to go down together, in case you have to bear the big kneeling ceremony together, and it seems to be even worse if you fall behind Li Tai. As for going down before Li Tai, when everyone kneels, you will stand alone, right? It's even worse.

In the end, Qin Hao really had no other choice, so he had to get off the boat one step ahead of Li Tai, mixed in the crowd and followed the rhythm to salute Li Tai, which made him quite awkward.

"Your Highness, Mr. Qin, the Governor's Mansion has been cleaned up, and I will bring the two young masters there."

The leader who spoke was a thin middle-aged man with a thin goatee and a pale face as if he had a kidney deficiency. He was the county magistrate of Yangzhou, Lao Yan (please forgive my difficulty in naming ).

Although it is said that a boss fell from the sky for no reason, Comrade Yan has actually been looking forward to the stars and the moon for a long time. During the days when Li Tai was not here, he was going crazy.

In the past, although the county magistrate of Yangzhou could not be said to be the emperor of the land, he lived a happy life. It was really the best choice for retirement to spend the rest of his life in peace, and he envied many others.

But it’s been different since the great development of Yangzhou. He can’t afford to offend anyone who comes here to make a fortune. Sometimes if someone’s family has a dispute and makes him come to him, it’s hard to kill him, just like last time The steward of the eldest grandson's family fought with the steward of Yuchi's family, and when the trouble came to him, he wished they would beat him up.

This is such a big project, what's the deal with throwing Lao Tzu, a mere sixth-rank official?playing!

Now it's all right, the official governor has finally arrived, and the sky is falling and there is a tall head. If the development is good, it can be regarded as his own political achievements.

Li Tai patted him on the shoulder seemingly casually and said, "Thanks for your hard work, magistrate Yan, let's stop blocking this pier, and take our local officials to the Governor's Mansion to discuss matters."

"Yes."

…………

Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is actually a very wasteful place. It was rebuilt in Yang Guang's Jiangdu Palace. Although it is not as big in size, it is even more exquisite and luxurious than Taiji Palace. However, it is empty all the year round and no one lives there.

Almost everyone thought that the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion would have to continue to be abandoned for at least 80 years, unless there was a war between Datang and Baiyue one day, would there be a war between Datang and Baiyue?Lend them some guts.

Unexpectedly, today, the door of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion opened after a long time.

Li Tai happily sat on the main seat that belonged to him, with a complete white tiger skin draped behind him, looking very imposing.

Li Tai probably has never been treated like this before. Looking at the respectful faces below, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when the words reached his throat, he found that he couldn't even fart, and his face turned red for a while. flushed.

Qin Hao couldn't help laughing inwardly, no matter how precocious Li Tai is, he's still only a teenager after all, he doesn't have the opportunity to get in touch with government affairs in Chang'an on weekdays, it would be embarrassing if he really said something.

In the end, Li Tai really had no choice but to hold back: "Well...Du Changshi, you sit next to me."

Du Chuke smiled warmly, and sat unceremoniously on Li Tai's left hand side. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Li Tai continue: "Brother Zhenheng, please sit down too."

Qin Hao nodded with a smile, and sat down on Li Tai's right hand without being polite. Everyone didn't think there was anything wrong, but Du Chuke's face turned dark.

He is the long history of the palace, sitting next to Li Tai is justified, what kind of onion or garlic is this Qin Hao?I thought that this trip to Yangzhou with the King of Yue was when Kunpeng spread his wings. What does he know as a half-old child?At that time, it will not be up to him to decide on such a large project in this state.

But in the end, there was still a division of merit.

Du Chuke was already unhappy with Qin Hao, and it was even more so after he taught Xiao Deyan that day. Seeing him was even more angry than seeing him kill his father and enemy, but he couldn't ignore him. Although he was also a half-grown child, I'm afraid no one in the whole world will treat him like a child anymore.

Thinking of this, Du Chuke had no choice but to put on a smiling face, although his teeth were itching with hatred, and signaled Qin Hao to invite him first.

Qin Hao was not polite, and said directly: "County Yan, I don't know how many people there are in the Marquis Wu of Yangzhou, patrolling the camp, and the navy?"

"Uh... back to Your Highness, back to Qin Langzhong, Yangzhou now has two hundred Marquis Wu, five hundred patrols, and navy... a bit deserted."

Qin Hao sighed and said, "How can this be done? Although Yangzhou has not experienced war for a long time, such a small number of people are not enough to protect His Highness."

Turning his head to Li Tai, he said, "Your Highness, I think we might as well recruit some government soldiers. It doesn't take much, three thousand should be enough."

Recruiting and training the government army is the duty of the governor, but Yangzhou is really useless to have the government army, and even the daily training is just a matter of dealing with it, but no matter what you say, there is still a staffing, let Li Tai transfer 3000 There is nothing wrong with people entering the city, and they don't even need the approval of the Ministry of Education, as long as they make a report afterwards.

But such a light sentence, falling into the ears of others, became a thunderbolt. The good guy didn't even recognize everyone and sent troops first. Is this really just to speak harder in the future?Soldiers' weapons are always used when they are called in.

As for how to use it and who to use it on, it is a question worth pondering.

"Your Highness, General Xu used to be a soldier of the government army, and he has won the true biography of the Duke of Wei. There should be no higher rank among the soldiers of Yangzhou city than him. This Yangzhou government soldier has not practiced for a long time. Why don't you let General Xu take the lead?" Let's practice it."

As soon as these words came out, Du Chuke's beard, who had always been pretending to be deep, was pulled down, and his body was drenched in cold sweat in an instant. How could he gain military power after just sitting down for a few words?Even if they want to use soldiers, the military power should be in the hands of their own lineage in the Yue Palace. How can there be any reason to give it to outsiders?
I want to object, but I can't think of a suitable reason for a while. After all, he is also a civil servant. Xu Jie's official position is Zuowuwei Zhonglang, and all the military officers in Luoyang are not as big as others, so he has to keep giving Li Tai his eyes. , I hope he can comprehend it in time, let's delay it for a while.

It's a pity that Du Chuke underestimated the trust between Li Tai and Qin Hao too much. Li Tai didn't even think about this important matter of military power, so he simply said: "Yes".
