Chapter 276 "The Butcher" and "Ghost Face Congratulations"

Since the early morning of the eighth day of May, when Jin Xinpeng personally went to the generals' office to ask to see Zhang Cheng, the recruitment of exiled military households and soldiers on Shangbei Road became smooth.

The most powerful thing here is of course Jin Xinpeng's full support. As the largest military household in the area, he controls almost one-third of Shangbei Road, and he is also well-known in Beilu.

Although Zhang Chengchu beheaded a hundred bandits outside the South Gate of Dushi City on the eighth day, it did have a great deterrent effect, but that was just an appearance.

Without the sincere support of Jin Xinpeng, a big local tycoon, even if Zhang Cheng could accomplish the same things, he would still get twice the result with half the effort, but now it is different.

Zhang Cheng beat Jin Xinpeng first and then wooed him to his side. If he wanted to do something on Shangbei Road at this time, he would get twice the result with half the effort.

In just three days, more than [-] people have been recruited. Although there is an example of Li Erdan, the contribution of Jin Xinpeng cannot be underestimated.

Not only recruiting soldiers, Jin Xinpeng has made great contributions in recruiting lost military households and cleaning up military settlements. Everyone has lived on Shangbei Road for a long time. Who occupies how many military settlements, which family hides how many military households, everyone is average I know it well.

But now, the farmland that Jin Xinpeng originally occupied has appeared in the accounts again, and the more than 1000 military households hidden under his name have been re-registered, how could everyone not know it!

It was Jin Xinpeng's exemplary role that the military leaders on Shangbei Road returned to the occupied military settlements one after another, and those hidden military households were able to see the light of day again. Although it was within Zhang Cheng's expectations, the result was beyond expectations.

…………

However, these days, the busiest person is not necessarily the conductor Yan Qingrong, but he is definitely one of the busiest people.

Not showing the mountains and not showing the water!

This is the first evaluation Zhang Cheng gave him.

This Yan Qingrong really made Zhang Cheng a little confused. This person was calm and unassuming, and his reputation was not obvious. Even Chen Zheng led a team to investigate on Shangbei Road for more than a month, and he did not find any bad deeds of him.

But no matter what, this Yan Qingrong is still very supportive of himself at the moment, no matter what happened before, as long as he is honest in the future and can be used by himself, that's enough.

As for selfishness and greed, who can do without it?

There is only one requirement, that is, you must be loyal to yourself and do things honestly. As for selfishness and greed, as long as they don't threaten you, as long as they don't affect your future, those don't matter!
Yan Qingrong, the commander of Kaipingwei, was also a secretary. He was in charge of farming, ordnance, and warehousing.

Previously, Feng Yuanshan and the three hundred young men who had arrived at Dushi in advance had Yan Qingrong's strong support to build a new fort on the river valley about five miles south of Dushikou Castle.

Moreover, after Zhang Cheng took office, no matter whether it was checking the military settlements, recruiting those fleeing military households, or reclaiming wasteland, he followed Zhang Cheng's instructions and did it in an orderly manner.

Leaving aside whether he belongs to him or not, at least in terms of work, this Yan Qingrong is still acceptable. Anyway, Zhang Cheng is not available now, and this person has enough ability and prestige, why not use it?
…………

It turned out that on the eighth day of May, Jin Xinpeng took the initiative to approach Zhang Cheng, and after beheading the hundred bandits outside Nanguan.

Zhang Cheng then summoned all officials of Kaipingwei to discuss matters in the main hall of the Department of Defense. It was the first statement made by the commander and acquaintance Jin Xinpeng that made the meeting fruitful.

As the No. [-] military leader in Dushikou's local Tianzi, his attitude is almost decisive. With his support, Zhang Cheng's work will naturally go smoothly.

In the face of this change, the more than 300 military households that Jin Xinpeng hid before, and the nearly [-] mu of military settlements that he invaded appeared on the household registration and field booklets.

All the people participating in the meeting were dumbfounded. After being shocked, they looked around and started to communicate with each other. Just when they were flustered, Zhang Cheng said in a deep voice:

"I was ordered by the emperor to guard the North Road, so I wanted to devote myself to the king's affairs. Today, the Holy Lord ordered me to train a [-]-strong army on the North Road. However, training soldiers and horses requires money, food and salaries. Therefore, we will rectify the government. For the present priority,

Master Yan is the official secretary, who is in charge of all the affairs of the garrison administration. Please do your best for this matter. Governor of Wei Town Governor Liu Zhi, the governor of the town, He Biao, will assist you in cleaning up. Military settlements and military households,

The officials under the Department of Defense Experience, and the sergeants under the general's command, can be called by you. How many days can they be cleaned up? "

Commander Yan Qingrong sat firmly in the chair, he raised his hand to touch the not thick beard on his chin, and after a while, he said: "Return to the general, although I am in charge of the garrison administration, the garrison administration has been neglected for many years. Now the account book is broken, but it is not easy to check!"

"It doesn't matter, when I came from Zhencheng, I brought the account books of the mu of our North Route Army at the beginning of the Kingdom. Although some of the mu has not been cultivated over the years, and most of them are barren, it is generally not bad.
Mr. Yan, you must do things with sincerity. Within three days, the number of military households and land acres reported by the officials will not be encroached or concealed. "

The sudden change stunned everyone present.

Everyone was surprised by the change of the commanding officer Jin Xinpeng, but everyone was even more shocked when "butcher Zhang Cheng" sent "ghost-faced He Biao" to assist Yan Qingrong in this matter.

Since the one hundred thugs were chopped down at noon, Zhang Cheng was not only called "The Butcher" in private, his expression remained the same for thousands of years, and he always had a gloomy and cold face to comfort He Biao. It is secretly called "ghost face congratulations" by everyone!
…………

On May [-]th, in the side hall of the back hall of the Admiral's Office in Dushikou Castle.

Wei Zhice, Chen Zhong, He Biao, Zhang Guangda, Tong Shoushan, Wang Tieren, Zhou Zhouping, Cui Shijie and others were sitting around the table with all the food and wine on it. Now they are sitting all the way in the town, but not even a stable meal when they were kings It is rare to eat.

Wei Zhice only rushed to Dushikou at noon today. He has been traveling between the capital and the Xuanfu for Zhang Cheng's private affairs for the past few days, but he is exhausted. But Zhang Cheng's ability to entrust him with such an important matter is also because of his trust in him. Wei Zhice was indeed very attentive.

Today, Zhang Cheng held a reception banquet specially for him. During the banquet, all the generals heard that Zhang Cheng's marriage was promising, and they were all happy for Zhang Cheng.

He and Wei Zhice naturally became the primary targets of everyone's toast. During the dinner, Wei Zhice persuaded Zhang Cheng that if the matter on the North Road came to an end, it would be best to come to Beijing.

"Oh, Miss Ji wants to meet his husband, Xi, before confirming the marriage?"
