Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 719 Shi Yong's Ability

For this reason, Shen Mo also sent a message to reprimand him, asking him to take care of his own affairs, do more official duties if he has the ability, and don't underestimate himself.

"I'm still more concerned about trade, and I really don't want to ask too much about other things." In front of Zhong Lirui, he had some reservations.

Zhong Lirui smiled casually, but he knew very well that not only was there a struggle among Wang Xiu's forces, but also the differences among Wang's children were getting bigger and bigger, which seemed to be getting worse, but he didn't know what Wang Xiu was planning.

Walking in Nanjing, the back garden of Wang Xiu's mansion is a simple and simple pavilion.

Shi Yong poured a cup of tea for Wang Xiu and presented it respectfully, but his expression was uneasy.

Wang Xiu sat on a high-backed chair and looked at Shi Yong with a calm expression. He took the tea and put it down without asking any questions.

Zong Liang quietly winked at Shi Yong, but Shi Yong didn't seem to notice, still bowed his head respectfully, and Feng Yuan stood beside the pillar with a half-smile.

"Sir." Seeing that the atmosphere was dull, Shi Yong didn't speak, and Feng Yuan couldn't count on him, Zong Liang wanted to break the deadlock, so he had no choice but to speak up himself.

After a long time, Wang Xiucai glanced at Shi Yong, took a sip of tea slowly, and then said meaningfully: "Zimu, you have suffered a lot these past few years!"

Shi Yong was startled, his whole body shook violently, he knelt on the ground and burst into tears, Zong Liang was relieved, Wang Xiu's words were full of kindness and gentleness, and it was a good result after all.

"Shan Zhang, the student is wrong, these years..." Shi Yong didn't know what to say, thinking about the suffering in the wild and small county for several years, tears of regret flowed down his face.

Wang Xiu smiled gently, and said: "You have been very good in the past few years, but you have made mistakes."

Shi Yong's face immediately changed drastically, he knelt on the ground in fear, at a loss, even Zong Liang didn't know what to do.

"However, what you have done in the south these years is not bad. I can see it. Qianwei is located in a remote place, and the residents are so barbaric. There are many cottages and resistance to the government. If you can use some means to make the county respect it, it is considered a big deal." Talent." Wang Xiu didn't care about the faces of the brothers, and seemed to be talking to herself.

He is concerned about Shi Yong, and he is remarkable in this job.When he was in office, he became brothers and sisters with those barbarian leaders. Shi Yong didn't seem to have learned the lesson of his tenure in Qiantang. He turned a blind eye to the matter of the imperial court and reluctantly let it go.

In just four years, a small county that often revolts against the government has been managed in an orderly manner. Many cottages can be loyal to the imperial court and provide a large number of capable gunmen for the imperial court.

It's interesting here, it is said that a greedy county magistrate is just right for the tastes of those cottage leaders, and completely empties Shi Yong.

However, Shi Yong's ability is brought into full play here. Don't look at him starting to win over and make concessions everywhere. At the beginning of his tenure, it seems that he was obsessed with gold and silver beauty, which caused the contempt of many cottage leaders. The young magistrate took it seriously and relaxed his guard.

Sure enough, Shi Yong held his composure and patiently entertained the cottage leaders several times, and was even extremely modest, making these cottage leaders who despise the Han officials greatly despise them again.

During his one-year term of office, when he was hosting a banquet for famous local chiefs, the soldiers who ambush him suddenly launched an attack and arrested more than ten of them on the spot, let alone reporting to the prefectures and counties. people.

Even the guards who followed did not escape, and they were all captured and exiled.

This is not over yet, on the same day, Shi Yong assembled more than a thousand Forbidden Army and local soldiers stationed in the berth, and attacked the cottage where the local tyrant was killed.

Due to the loss of the leader, the Song army broke through more than ten cottages in a row. This guy once again showed his iron and blood skills and ordered the Song army officials to kill them. As long as you have the ability to fight down, all the rich children there will be yours.

This promise to boost morale is not just for fun. The officers and soldiers of each team were red-eyed and fought with all their strength, bursting out with unparalleled combat effectiveness.

The final result of the battle can be imagined, almost all the men in the village were beheaded, all the women and children were sold to other cottages at a low price, and all the cattle, sheep and money went to the soldiers who participated in the war.

Of course, a large part of the money was given to the family members of the officials who died in the battle. It didn't make people feel chilled.

After completing a series of bloody killings, he returned those leaders with courtesy as if nothing had happened, and continued to communicate with them as if nothing had happened.

From then on, the arrogant and lawless chiefs of the cottage knew that this gentle and deceptive magistrate turned out to be a butcher with a hidden knife in his smile, and who dared to fight against him.

The reason why everyone became the leader is to act as a domineering power in their own territory. Since the people's tough methods are based on your resistance to the court, it is usually easier to talk. Everyone gradually figured out this guy's temper and do what he likes Everything is happy, as long as you don't rebel against the court, everything is easy to talk about.

When Shi Yong ruled those leaders, he couldn't persuade them to obey him, but he didn't dare to confront the imperial court openly.

However, the impeachment of the censor is indispensable. The newly appointed Sichuan Dao supervisor censor impeached him again and again, saying that he accepted bribes, shielded the chieftain, etc., and asked the court to take down this moth.

Shi Yong was overjoyed by Wang Xiu's praise. The so-called lenient general outline, he knew that Wang Xiu didn't mind the small details of his liking for money, and he paid attention to the big details of governing political affairs. It must be arranged by Wang Xiu.

"What Master Shan teaches is that if students don't change their old habits, they will live up to their master's expectations." Shi Yong thought of retreating as an advance, so he took the initiative to admit his mistakes and win Wang Xiu's mercy.

Wang Xiu waved her hand, and said indifferently: "There is no one who doesn't like money. Life is nothing more than fame and fortune, and the general outline is just lenient. Isn't my family rich? You have done a good job. Sometimes accepting money from beauties is also a skill." Art."

"Mr. Xie Shan is tolerant." Shi Yong was relieved, what Wang Xiu wanted was his ability, as long as you don't betray the country, the common people, even if you have a little problem, so what?

Zong Liang smacked his lips, Mr. is really interesting, he likes beauty and money, and he can also talk about the righteousness of the family and the country, Shi Yong, a thief and a bird, is lucky.This is also in the area where Tubo and Sanmiao gather. If it is placed on Huainan, Jiangnan [-]nd Road and Sichuan [-]th Road, if you look at the beautiful people and money, as long as you stretch out your hand, it will probably be over.

Wang Xiu didn't say anything anymore, instead she looked at Feng Yuan and said with a smile, "Do you still want to go to Hebei to lead the army?"
