Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 216 Becoming an Official (Part [-])
Five days later, the appointment of Guangling City spread to Huai'an, and Gao Cheng was formally appointed as Huai'an County Captain. At the beginning, Gao Cheng's father was also a county official with a rank of four hundred stones. brought it to its former peak.And stronger than ever.

The county lieutenant is responsible for the security of the entire city. He has the duty to hunt down fugitives and defend against bandits and bandits. He has three hundred county warriors and ten archers under his command.These all belong to the official establishment of Dahan.

After Gao Cheng became the county lieutenant, he immediately arranged Jiang Qin and Pei Yuanshao into the county government as horse archers.

As for Lu Dai, who is still in charge of the water village, Zhou Cang is calm and stable, and together with Zhang Chen, he is the commander of the family soldiers, and uses his main strength to maintain the safety of the fields and shops and the defense of the Gaofu.

At this time, Gao Tai also returned from sweeping the lair of the water thief in Baima Lake. He quietly returned to Gao Mansion with an uncontrollable joy on his face.

After meeting with Gao Cheng, seeing no one around, he immediately reported: "My lord, this time we found a large amount of gold in the water thief's lair, as well as the goods that the water thief robbed before, such as brocade, salt and iron. , as well as rhino horns, tortoise shells, and jewelry from Jiaozhou... Roughly estimated, these things are worth tens of millions of dollars!"

Gao Cheng couldn't help being shocked, "Tens of millions of money! There's so much money, no wonder those aristocratic families in Guangling hate water thieves so much. This kind of loss is a bit traumatic!"

The other aristocratic families were injured, but Gao Cheng got huge benefits. Not only did he get back all the huge expenses for suppressing the bandits, but he also got more than ten times the interest for nothing!

However, these things are not five baht coins in circulation after all, and need to be sold off slowly.

Gao Cheng thought about it for a while, and said: "We have obtained so much gold and goods, we must be careful not to let other families know, otherwise, the Gao family will definitely be hostile by those families who have suffered heavy losses, and even come to visit us." Ask for the goods!"

Gao Tai quickly said: "Young master, don't worry, I have brought these things to a small island in Baima Lake, and they will definitely not be discovered."

Gao Cheng nodded. Although Gao Tai's abilities are mediocre, he has a steady personality and an open mind. Whether it is Lu Dai, Zhou Cang, or Pei Yuanshao, he can give full play to his strengths.

He is very confident in what he does.Just as he was about to say something, his eyes flashed suddenly, and he saw Gan Yu, the personal maid, walking quickly. Before he got close, a fresh and fragrant breath came faintly.

"My lord, there is someone visiting from outside the mansion. They say it's the steward of the Mi family in Xuzhou! The other party brought five carts of gifts! They say it's to congratulate you for becoming an official!"

"The manager of the Mi family in Xuzhou?"

Gao Cheng didn't expect that he had just received the appointment, and before he went to the county government to officially take up the post, the Mi family in Xuzhou got the news.The moment he thought of Mi's, his heart suddenly moved. Didn't he have goods worth tens of millions of dollars? If he went through Mi's channel, he would be able to cash these things out soon.

Thinking of this, he immediately asked Gao Tai to greet him, and within a moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of his eyes.The person sent by the Mi Clan is exactly the Mi Guanshi who had a little friendship with him at the beginning.

"Congratulations, Mr. Gao, for becoming the county captain of Huai'an!"

Steward Mi had a smile on his face. After coming over, he paid homage immediately, and then said: "When my uncle heard the news that Mr. Gao has become an official, he immediately asked the villain to come to congratulate him! This is the gift list, please have a look at it!"

Gao Cheng waved his hand, and Gan Yu who was beside him immediately stepped forward and took the gift list from the other party.

"It just so happened that Guan Mi came here, I have something to trouble Brother Zi Zhong!"

He brought Guanshi Mi and Gao Tai to the hall together, and then told what he gained from suppressing the bandits, and wanted to cooperate with Mi's to deal with these things through Mi's channels all over the world!

If it's worth a million dollars, Manager Mi can handle it by himself, but the current item is worth tens of millions, so he doesn't dare to make decisions on his own, so he can only send someone to quickly report it to Mi Zhu.

The strength of the Mi family is mainly concentrated in Xiapi, and the relationship with the family in Xuzhou is not very good, especially since Guangling is located in the southernmost part of Xuzhou, the family here has little contact with the Mi family.

Based on the favor of saving his second brother and younger sister before, Mi Zhu would definitely agree to this matter.So Gao Cheng didn't worry too much, and asked Gao Tai's good wine and meat to serve Steward Mi, and went to the small island of Baima Lake to inspect the goods first.

……

On the second day, Gao Cheng was wearing an official robe with a ribbon and a long sword hanging from his waist, and then led Jiang Qin and Pei Yuanshao on horseback towards the direction of the county government.

When they arrived at the place, the two small officials in front of the county government hurriedly bowed their heads and bowed to greet them, "Welcome County Lieutenant Gao!"

The two took the initiative to take the reins of the three horses, and led the mounts to the stables. Ever since they knew that Gao Cheng was about to take office, these county officials and Shuzuo all looked trembling.For fear of accidentally provoking this Mr. Gao.

Gao Cheng hummed, then entered the county government, first visited the county magistrate Huang Zun, then summoned many staff members of the county lieutenant, and began to formally take office.

"County officer, this is the roster of our Huai'an county bravery, and the documents accumulated for many days!" Several assistants dared not play any tricks in front of Gao Cheng, a well-known county officer.

Gao Cheng had been an emperor for many years in the previous world, and he had already developed his ability. He could know the current situation in Huai'an by simply flipping through it.At this time, with the great chaos in the world, nearly ten million refugees in Yuzhou and Yanzhou began to wander in all directions and turned into refugees. If the yellow scarf is not destroyed, there will be more and more refugees.

At this time, there were also refugees in Huai'an city.Some of the strong refugees escaped all the way, looting everywhere for food on the way, and transformed into thieves.These people are not strong, and they don't dare to provoke the famous aristocratic families, but they set their targets on ordinary people.

In the past two months of training sailors in Gaocheng, many people have been poisoned by these bandits. As long as you go [-] miles from Huai'an City, you can find a random mountain forest, and there must be bandits hiding in it. .

When Gao Cheng saw this, he couldn't help frowning. Huai'an is located in the important area of ​​Huai'an and Huai'an. Compared with other places, it is relatively rich, and because of this, it has attracted a large number of refugees who want to survive.

Counting the time at this time, it has been several months since the battle of Changshe. After Huangfusong and Zhu Jun destroyed the Yellow Turban in Yuzhou, they must have split into two groups. Huangfusong went north to deal with Zhang Jiao, and Zhu Jun went to Nanyang to deal with Zhang. Manchester City.

Not surprisingly, the destruction of the Yellow Turban is imminent.

But the destruction of the Yellow Turban is only the beginning of the troubled times.At that time, a large number of Yellow Turban rebels will have no way out, and they will definitely flock to rich places such as Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou.Looting food and grass.

"It's not my turn to worry about the Yellow Turban Rebellion, let's find a way to deal with these bandits in Huai'an first!"

Gao Cheng sighed slightly in his heart. In his opinion, if more and more refugees were not resettled, these people would degenerate into bandits sooner or later in order to survive. At that time, the bandits would only continue to suppress them repeatedly. It is the duty of the county magistrate. As a county lieutenant, he can only be in charge of military affairs and cannot exceed his authority without authorization.

Then he calmed down and quickly processed the accumulated documents. Most of these documents were about the county brave's money and grain accounts, as well as weapon maintenance and other things. It was nothing serious.

When the paperwork was cleared, he immediately called Jiang Qin and Pei Yuanshao, and asked them to lead 150 county warriors to wipe out the bandits on Hutou Mountain and Dashi Mountain outside the city. Killed more than a dozen people nearby, very rampant.It must be eradicated first.
