Chapter 233: New Personnel Appointments
After taking over Cangzhou, Li Ze became a dog.
After a month of high-intensity marching and combat, the army had urgently needed rest and reorganization. Li Ze only gave them ten days because his army had more important things to do next. In particular, the cavalry had to set off again after only five days of rest.
Hou Zhen was urgently summoned to Cangzhou by Li Ze. The old man in his early fifties rode a fast horse and almost dispersed his bones. When he saw Li Ze, his face turned gray and extremely decadent.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Hou." Li Ze was not polite, and waved his hand and asked Li Mi to serve a cup of ginseng soup.
After drinking the ginseng soup, Hou Zhen's face finally became a little rosy.
"I am calling you over urgently, Cangzhou needs you." Li Ze said straight to the point: "I am going to let you serve as the governor of Cangzhou. What do you think?"
Hou shook, opened his mouth wide, and couldn't speak for a moment.
Half a year ago, he was still a fish that was kidnapped and threatened by Li Ze and had to move. However, after going to Wuyi, he first served as the county magistrate. Now, the position of Wuyi County magistrate has not yet been in the position of Heihu, but he has been appointed as the governor of Cangzhou.
"Young Master, this is too sudden. I am afraid that I will not do well." Hou Zhen said naively. It is naturally good to be an official, but after being a county magistrate in Wuyi for so long, Hou Zhen also knew very well that it was really not easy to be an official under this young master.
"Cangzhou needs stability." Li Ze waved his hand and interrupted Hou Zhen's words: "Most of the county seats under Cangzhou were decided by edicts, and most of the officials were reserved. Duke Hou was originally a great man in Dezhou and was also a famous person in Henghai. If you serve as the governor of Cangzhou, you can stabilize the hearts of the people of Cangzhou, especially those officials from all over the country and powerful landlords. Only when we stabilize, we can continue to do other things."
Hou Zhen nodded repeatedly. It turned out that it was not because of his great ability, but because his identity was just needed by the young master.
"You have been the county magistrate in Wuyi for half a year and are already quite familiar with our policies. You naturally know how to be the governor." Li Ze continued.
"If the policies implemented in Cangzhou are immediately implemented in Cangzhou, it will probably cause turmoil." Hou Zhen said with some concern.
"I know." Li Ze nodded and said, "I have more important things to do now, so the policies we have in Wuyi will not be implemented in Cangzhou for the time being. The only thing you have to do is to maintain the stability of Cangzhou during the day we leave. When I finish the major work of Chengde, it will not be too late to implement them."
"Yes, young master, if that's the case, then things will be much easier." Hou Zhen then relaxed.
"Chen Chang'an is the only one who is a soldier in Cangzhou. I will leave behind 500 soldiers and 2,000 soldiers stationed in Cangzhou." Li Ze turned his head and looked at Chen Chang'an, a solemn general standing on the other side. He was Chen Changping's second brother.
This bandit who could not survive under Henghai's rule would never have thought that it was an action to flee to Wuyi that he had completed a huge transformation from a bandit to an official in less than two years. Moreover, this official was not an ordinary small official, but a different state.
As the first outsider to join Li Ze Group, he knew the political structure of Li Ze Group. His unique position was not just the governor's order, but one of the giants in a state that could compete with the governor.
The governor, the chief and the deputy commander are the three chariots of governing a state under Li Ze's idea. Although the governor is in charge of the overall situation, the chief and the deputy commander can effectively check and balance it, and the governor cannot have the intention of interfering with military power.
"Abide by the order!" Chen Changan, who was covered in red, held his fists loudly and took the order. For him, this was really a return home in glory.
"Wu Jin." Li Ze looked at another scholar in green robe.
"I'm here!" Wu Jin took a step forward and saluted Li Ze meticulously: "What are the president's instructions?"
Li Ze looked at Wu Jin with a smile. This man was a scholar, but an atypical scholar. He was from a good family and had to support him in school until he was a scholar. However, a drastic change caused him to go from a well-off family to an abject poor man. From then on, he had to put down his books and work hard to make a living to support his parents lying in bed.
The rise of Yixing Society gave him hope. He was one of the first people to join Yixing Society. More importantly, he was a scholar and was valued by Yang Kai. He was also the first people to win the bronze medal in Yixing Society, and is now one of the lecturers of Yixing Society. Cao Zhang is now responsible for organizing the theory of Yixing Society and preaching to the children of wealthy families, while Wu Jin is targeting ordinary people.
His work has achieved remarkable achievements.
"From today, you will be the chief secretary of Cangzhou." Li Ze said: "You are the first batch of talents cultivated by my Yixing Society. In the position of the Chief Secretary, you should not only assist the governor in doing a good job in Cangzhou's civil affairs, but also let Yixing Society take root, sprout, and bear fruit in Cangzhou."
"My subordinates will never let down the president's entrusted!" Wu Jin simply bowed and took the order.
"Very good." Li Ze looked at Hou Zhen: "Governor Hou, the core team of Cangzhou will be established in this way. From now on, you three will work together to manage Cangzhou well."
Hou Zhen, Wu Jin and Chen Changan held their fists and bowed to the ground.
"Okay, you guys go down. I believe you must have a lot of things to discuss and a lot of things to do now." Li Ze smiled and said, "Bai Mingli has to stay here for a few more days. If you have any doubts, you might as well ask him. This local snake has nothing to do in Cangzhou, which he doesn't know."
After sending these three people away, Li Mi walked out of the hall and invited a few others in.
One of them was Yang Wei, the former governor of Dizhou who rushed all the way from Dizhou in fear.
Hou Xiyi suffered losses and lost his troops. After fleeing back to Dizhou, he was afraid that Li Ze would pursue him relentlessly, so he didn't even want the fresh Dizhou, so he retreated all the way back to Pinglu. After Li Ze's envoy to surrender, Yang Wei hesitated for a long time and finally decided to surrender to Li Ze.
"Governor Yang." Seeing Yang Wei, Li Ze walked out from behind the big case intimately, took Yang Wei's hand, personally pulled a chair for him, and helped him sit down.
Yang Wei didn't dare to sit there. As soon as his butt was touched by the stool, he jumped up again and said uneasy: "I didn't know that the young master's power was powerful before, but I actually wanted to block the car with a mantis arm and offend the young master's power, and I hope that the young master will not remember the villain's power."
"Governor Yang was joking, but it was just Zhu Shou who forced each other. Now we are a family." Li Ze said with a smile: "Dizhou will rely on Governor Yang in the future."
"I dare not, I must be the leader of the young master, and I will be willing to refuse." Yang Wei bowed and said.
"Okay, I'll feel relieved with you, Governor Yang." Li Ze laughed: "Li Hao, come here."
Li Hao strode forward.
"His name is Li Hao, and he is one of my earliest relatives. He will serve as the Dizhou Neijiao." Li Ze said: "Governor Yang, please be honest, the soldiers and horses of Dizhou are indeed a bit unbearable to fight!"
Yang Wei lowered his head in shame. The coalition forces of Dizhou and Pinglu Hou Xiyi were beaten to pieces by Li Ze's troops, which really left him speechless.
"This bastard Zhu Shou gave Dizhou to Hou Xiyi, which gave this Pinglu Jiedushi a huge excuse. This attack caught Hou Xiyi off guard. Once he came to his senses, he might want to retaliate. Therefore, the soldiers and horses in Dizhou need to be reorganized. Li Hao is responsible for this matter. I will station one thousand soldiers and two thousand soldiers in Dizhou. In the next time, Yang needs to reconvene three thousand soldiers and hand them over to Li Hao for training and provide these soldiers with food, fodder and silver. Is there any problem with Yang?"
"No, no!" Yang Wei nodded repeatedly.
"Li Hao, you will not have reinforcements for at least half a year. Chen Chang'an only has 500 soldiers in Cangzhou, so it is impossible to go to support you. So, if Hou Xiyi comes to attack, you can only deal with it yourself. You don't need to defeat him, you just need to defend Dizhou and wait for me to complete the great affairs of morality, and then come back and teach him a lesson."
Li Hao smiled grimly and said, "Don't worry, young master, I'm afraid he won't come! Whoever dares to reach out to the young master will break his hand and crush it."
Li Ze smiled and nodded: "Strategically despise the enemy, but tactical attention should be paid to the enemy. Hou Xiyi is also a veteran. You have only led troops for a few days. It is naturally good to have blood and courage, but if you fail because of your arrogance, the military law will not tolerate it."
"I will save you the last time!" Li Hao said with his chest straight.
"Lu Guan." Li Ze pointed to a man who had come in and said: "He will serve as the chief of the Dizhou Prefecture."
Unlike Wu Jin, Lu Guan was originally a minor official in Xindu. He once served as the transfer chief. When Dezhou invaded, Lu Guan escaped by chance, but the family suffered a hardship. Later, he joined Yixingshe and became one of the crazy believers of Yixingshe.
"In the Dizhou side, I'll ask you three." Li Ze looked at the three of them and said, "I hope you will perform your own duties and manage Dizhou well. I won't keep you for a long time. Let's set off and return to Dizhou today."
"As for the order!" The three of them bowed and left.
After seeing off the three people, Li Ze felt sleepy. Today, he met different people continuously and arranged different things. Even when he had dinner, he only ate a little in this small hall.
After arranging the personnel and building the leadership teams of these two states, Li Ze's affairs in Cangzhou have actually basically ended. Now, he needs to maintain the stability and transformation of Cangzhou and Dizhou, which is the future. Next, his attention will be completely turned to Chengde.
