Chapter 7 Prefect takes office

In fact, in Zhang Baoyu's heart, what he wanted to sell most was the governor of Yangzhou.

In this way, we can get the job done in one step, but we have no choice but to learn from Zhang Rang's mouth that selling officials is also divided into levels. Not to mention the governor, even the prefect has to spend a lot of effort.

If you don't like Zhang Baoyu's crystal too much, even the prefect cannot sell it directly. The most you can do as an official at the beginning is a county magistrate. As for the governor, Zhang Baoyu will have to serve as prefect for at least two years!

As for why we chose Yangzhou, it was certainly for convenience.

Looking at the Sun family during the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Ce led thousands of people and easily conquered half of the world.

There is a Yangtze River across the river, and if others want to attack it, they can't even think about it without a navy. The place is as powerful as other places in several states, but there is no powerful warlord.

Zhang Baoyu felt that just Jiangdong, even if he had been staying in the world of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu could easily defeat him, and there was no one who could serve as an opponent!

The group of people stayed in the inn for three days obediently. It wasn't that Zhang Baoyu didn't want to go out and recruit talents, but he bought an official from Zhang Rang, which was extremely looked down upon by the intellectuals of this era!

He was not well-known before. Unless he was a commoner like Zhang Fei or Guan Yu, who would follow him?

So I didn't have the chance to show off to others, so I stayed in the inn for three days without going anywhere.

Zhang Rang's credibility is absolutely unparalleled in this era. Three days means three days. On the night of the third day, Zhang Baoyu received the imperial edict in the inn and became the prefect of Kuaiji County!

Kuaiji County governs Shanyin and controls 14 counties: Shanyin, Yuji, Shangyu, Yuyao, Juzhang, Luanxian, Yinxian, Zhuji, Shanxian, Wushang, Damo, Zhang'an, Yongning, and Dongye!

It is a relatively small county among the six counties in Yangzhou, but for Zhang Baoyu, as long as someone has a place to start developing, it doesn't matter where he is in the early stage, but in the later stage, it will be a direct push!

Especially now, Yangzhou is still a remote and desolate place covered with miasma in the eyes of many people. Even if Zhang Baoyu conquers all of Yangzhou, the imperial court will not take it too seriously!

But how could Zhang Baoyu, who came from modern times, not know how big a place is south of the Yangtze River? In such a large area, as long as we recruit people hard, we can support as many people as we can!

It's only 183 now, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died in 189, and the Yellow Turban seems to have started in 184, so I still have plenty of time!

Once he arrived at Kuaiji County, Zhang Baoyu realized that he had been tricked by Zhang Rang. No wonder he sold Kuaiji County to him so easily.

In the past few years, three generations of Xu Sheng's ancestors and grandsons had rebelled again and again in this broken place, and they had long since been reduced to poverty. However, this was a big trouble to others, but not a big deal to me!

After all, I don't have to make back my capital at all, and I still have to spend a lot of money locally.

This place has been completely empty, and it is easier to manage anyway. After all, there are no wealthy local families to cause trouble for you, so you can do whatever you want!

Upon arriving in Kuaiji County, Zhang Baoyu first appointed Zhang Fei and Guan Yu as army commanders. At the same time, he sent people to Huang Zhong in Changsha to tell him that he had a way to cure his son!

Before coming to the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Baoyu always felt that if nothing happened to Huang Zhong's son, Huang Zhong would definitely be the best in the world at this time!

Think about it, Huang Zhong, who is already in his 60s and 70s and has no goals, can become a general of the Five Tigers.

If Huang Zhong has a goal and descendants, he doesn't know what kind of light he can burst out, which Zhang Baoyu is looking forward to!

All the old and weak generals were sent home, and the others began a large-scale military training under the leadership of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu!

Zhang Baoyu, on the other hand, took hundreds of people selected from the army who had practiced martial arts before and began to teach him the authentic Taoist art of Tu Na!

Just like Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, all martial arts practitioners in this era rely on talent and hard training, and they can train to the extent they can.

Each and every one of them had suffered injuries from training, learned the authentic Taoism technique, and under the care of Zhang Baoyu who feasted on him every day, in less than a month, their spirits had completely changed, and their martial arts had greatly improved!

As for Zhang Fei, the ordinary soldiers led by Guan Yu were fed three times a day!

At the same time, Zhang Baoyu recruited a large number of refugees, and set the tax exemption for households with less than fifty acres. At the same time, he exempted and exempted previously owed taxes, and spent a lot of money to build water conservancy projects.

At that time, Jiangnan was a land of water, with numerous lakes and crisscrossing waterways. While it had the benefits of irrigation, it also had the hidden danger of waterlogging.

Coupled with the influence of geography, climate, and too small population, waterlogging disasters often occur. Zhang Baoyu built water conservancy projects as soon as he came here, so that people in the county can know themselves and prevent disasters at the same time!

Sitting in the shabby prefect's mansion, Zhang Baoyu's head was spinning as he looked at each piece of government affairs. For a modern person to handle these government affairs, Zhang Baoyu would have to read and guess the ancient texts alone. Fortunately,

There are people who can help explain.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to understand ancient writing and people without any cultural background even if you know them.

Just as he was having a headache, a personal guard came in and saluted: "Go back to my lord, I went to invite Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, and Lu Su. The three gentlemen are back, but the three gentlemen are a little reluctant. They were forced to invite them by their brothers."

When you come back, I'm afraid my lord will have to go and persuade him personally."

In fact, Zhang Baoyu knew that as for the officials he sold to eunuchs, probably none of the scholars of this era would be willing to work with him. Rather than inviting them, these three people were probably held by force by his personal guards.

Come.

But now that people have come, they themselves are liberated.

Overjoyed, he stood up and followed his guards to the courtyard.

When he came to the courtyard, modern people like Zhang Baoyu felt embarrassed. There were actually hundreds of people tied up in the courtyard, all old and young. He just said that if he didn't come, he would force them to come, but he didn't let these people come.

The guards tied up the whole family.

But since they were already tied up, Zhang Baoyu had no choice but to deal with the rest.

He kicked the guard captain who was going to invite people, and cursed: "Young man, didn't you ask you to invite three gentlemen? Why did you tie up the whole family here? Why don't you quickly find a place for the three gentlemen's families?"

Settle down!"

The captain of the personal guard also blushed. Obviously he knew that it was a bit too much to invite people like this. He responded and led people to untie the families of Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and Lu Su and send them out.

Zhang Baoyu personally stepped forward and untied the ropes from the three of them, and respectfully ushered the three of them into the living room, apologizing profusely along the way.

All the way to the living room, the three of them had no expressions on their faces.

Zhang Baoyu couldn't help but was speechless, so after sitting the three of them down in the living room, he told them one by one what he had done during this period, and saw that the three people's faces gradually became normal.

Zhang Baoyu knew that this method was used correctly. These three people were all great talents. How could they not know the benefits of his own policies that had long been proven to be effective?

Seeing that the expressions of the three people were normal, Zhang Baoyu also struck while the iron was hot, took two steps back, bowed and said: "I know that I am not capable, but I really want to do something for the people of the world, so I came up with this plan. I am willing to appoint you."

Mr. Zhang Zhao is the county magistrate, Mr. Lu Su is the chief historian, and Mr. Zhang Hong is the chief registrar. I would like to ask these three gentlemen to help me!"

The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly. At the same time, they also knew that if they used this method to invite their own people, if they didn't agree, they might have no hope of getting out of here alive, so they could only nod helplessly.

.

Seeing the three people nodding, Zhang Baoyu immediately handed over all government affairs to the three people. After all, for Zhang Baoyu, these three people have proven themselves in history and are absolute talents!

As for betrayal or something like that, as long as you control the army and a few civil servants, you can still go to heaven.

As for the three people, although they were forcibly invited, they saw that the eunuch trusted him so much and implemented policies that were more beneficial to the people. Instead, they harmed Zhang Baoyu's own interests to compensate for the people. They admired Zhang even more.

Baoyu’s mind and methods.

I also felt that Zhang Baoyu was valued here, and some scholars were willing to die for their confidants!

The intellectuals of this era value this. As long as you are willing to use him and respect him, even if you want to rebel, they will bring their whole family to accompany you.

Even if it fails, it will be followed by death.

The Han Dynasty was the best era in China, and the late Han Dynasty was also the era when China had the most talented people.

Zhang Baoyu's greatest wish is to collect all these talents from the Three Kingdoms and take them to a higher level world in the future.

If you have these people by your side who will never betray you, you can live an easy life no matter which world you go to!

As for the crystals brought over, they were given to Lu Su long ago and replaced with grain and various farm tools!

When they arrived, they selected hundreds of men and women of around ten years old from Kuaiji County and taught them the horse steps and the authentic Taoist tona technique that they had learned.

Even Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, and Lu Su were forced by Zhang Baoyu to start practicing!

However, the scholars of this era were different from those who came later. All of them were versatile in both civil and military affairs, and were more or less capable of some martial arts.

As soon as I started practicing, I became very interested, and when I had nothing to do, everyone started practicing without being forced!

A few days later, a particularly majestic and well-dressed man came to Zhang Baoyu with a young man with a sallow face and a cough.

Looking forward to Zhang Baoyu!

For Huang Zhong, having only this one child in his thirties can be said to be everything to him.

However, when the child coughed and did not meet a good husband when he was a child, he became like this now. He may die at any time. If he did not have a child, what else would he have in this life, and what face would he have when he died to meet the ancestors of the Huang family?
