Chapter 234 Everything is ready

Zhang Xuan smiled, the smile was so unpredictable.

Out of the corner of Zhang Xuan's eyes, he watched Li Guangbi standing behind him, seeing a trace of schadenfreude that was hard to detect on Li Guangbi's face, he couldn't help but secretly laughed.

It is said that Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi are not convinced and tear each other down, it seems that it is not a lie.

Seeing that Zhang Xuan wanted to severely punish Guo Ziyi's son Guo Min, and also did not save Guo Ziyi any face in public, Li Guangbi would be deceiving himself if he said that he did not have any mood of gloating.

Zhang Xuan knew in his heart that no matter whether it was Li Guangbi, Guo Ziyi, or Long Shuo, these rebellious generals, it would take time to return to their hearts.Even if he used the method of thunder, it is impossible to stand up again and again.The key question is how Zhang Xuan can continue to establish his authority. This is not achieved by a few harsh words and exempting a few people from military functions.

Zhang Xuan knew it well and was not in a hurry.

For Li Guangbi, it is a strategy, but for Guo Ziyi it is another method.

Li Guangbi is self-willed and arrogant. If such a person does not really "knock" him to his "death spot", it is almost impossible to get him back to his heart. Fortunately, Zhang Xuan has the forward-looking advantage of information as a traveler, and there are many opportunities and opportunities. Time to calmly "tune".

Compared with Li Guangbi, Guo Ziyi is more honest, more generous, and has a stronger view of the overall situation.Guo Ziyi's greatest weakness is that he regards reputation as his life. Although he is a martial artist, he has the dignity of a literati.It is not too difficult to "clean up" Guo Ziyi by grasping this "defect" in Guo Ziyi's character.

On the same day, Zhang Xuan held a banquet at the camp and had a good time with Guo Ziyi and others.Although Guo Ziyi was ill and was in a bad mood because of his son Guo Min, he still held on to finish the dinner, at least in terms of etiquette, so Zhang Xuan couldn't find anything wrong with it.

This is the cleverness of Guo Ziyi.This is also the reason why his prestige in the army is higher than that of Li Guangbi.

Zhang Xuan's handsome account.

Zhang Xunkui came at night, opened the curtain quietly, and walked in.

Sitting behind the desk, Zhang Xuan was flipping through some government and military documents to understand the basic situation of Lingzhou and the entire Longshuo. From today onwards, even if he has fully and truly taken up his post, he must enter the Longshuo Governor as soon as possible. character of.

"Great governor, I'll pay my respects." Zhang Xun bowed down.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhang, please sit down. Come, serve tea to Mr. Zhang." Zhang Xuan put down the scroll in his hand and smiled slightly at Zhang Xun.

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief."

"You and I are not outsiders. Mr. Zhang doesn't need to be so reserved in front of me in the future. Let's talk casually—"

"Great Governor, after I arrived in Lingzhou, I brought people to reorganize and took over the Great Governor's Mansion. This is the former Lingzhou Prefect's Mansion, Guo Ziyi's mansion. Guo Ziyi vacated it for the Great Governor half a year ago and carried out renovations and expansions. "

Zhang Xun knew that Zhang Xuan had called him here for a chat, but in fact he wanted to know something, so he naturally sorted out his own thoughts and reported to Zhang Xuan in detail.

"Great Governor, according to the regulations of the imperial court, the Great Governor can build his own mansion. The lower official is about to ask the Great Governor if he should find another location to build the Great Governor's Mansion... Craftsmen, handymen, etc., the lower officials have already recruited. Once the governor gives an order, work can start."

"The matter of the mansion, let it go. There is a ready-made mansion, why build it again? There is no need to waste the money and food. Don't mention this matter in the future." Zhang Xuan waved his hand decisively, "Longshuo's financial resources are limited, don't waste the money In such matters."

Zhang Xun was startled, and then nodded secretly, thinking that Chief Governor Zhang is really different, he is young and ambitious but can be self-disciplined like this, not greedy for life and pleasure, which is not something ordinary people can do, no wonder he controls a feudal town at the age of a weak crown.

"The governor is dedicated to the public, advocates frugality, and I admire you." Zhang Xun clapped his hands and said loudly, his eyes were very clear, "After the official returns to the city tomorrow, he will announce to the soldiers and civilians in the city, return the craftsmen and handymen, and show that the governor The good intentions of honesty, diligence and thrift."

Zhang Xuan smiled, "It doesn't have to be like this, I don't want to make a name for myself when I do things."

"The governor, the governor's mansion is basically in operation now, and the officials and officials are all in their positions. It will be able to operate normally when the governor and Lord Feng are in place." Zhang Xun arched his hands and said, "According to the instructions of the governor, The lower official found a courtyard close to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and converted it into a firearms station. In addition, he refurbished an abandoned military camp outside the city for the Metropolitan Governor's choice."

"This firearm is a matter of great importance. From now on, Master Zhang will be in charge of firearms matters. As soon as it is used, the selection of personnel is better than excess. We must keep the military aircraft and don't leak the news." Zhang Xuan's face is serious, "This matter It is no small matter, I entrust the full authority to Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Zhang must be careful!"

"I will allocate a 500-man army to set up a firearms battalion, which will be responsible for the guards of the firearms station and the development and testing of firearms."

"Please don't worry, the governor, the subordinate officials will do their best to do this well. If there is any leak, please do it according to the law!" Zhang Xuan said solemnly, and Zhang Xun also knew that this firearm was extraordinary, so he looked solemn replied.

"Lingzhou's army is strong, its people are stable, and its merchants are prosperous. It should be said that it is the largest and most prosperous city in Longshuo. From this, it can be seen that General Guo has fulfilled his duties and managed it properly. The governor...if...if it is possible, If Guo Min is punished lightly, it will also make Guo Ziyi work harder for the governor in the future." Zhang Xun hesitated for a moment, but still wanted to open his mouth to plead for Guo Min in private.

Of course he didn't have a good impression of Guo Yi, but he admired and respected Guo Ziyi very much.Zhang Xun is a selfless person. As soon as he entered Lingzhou, he highly appreciated Guo Ziyi's ability to organize the army and govern.And Guo Ziyi is humble and treats Zhang Xun with courtesy. Zhang Xun feels that Guo Ziyi is a famous general with both ability and political integrity. If Zhang Xuan wants to gain a firm foothold in Longshuo and make a difference, the support and assistance of someone like Guo Ziyi is indispensable. Or missing.

It can be said that Zhang Xun's intercession for Guo Yi was firstly out of appreciation for Guo Ziyi, and secondly for Zhang Xuan's future development in Longshuo.On balance, in fact, the latter accounted for a large factor.

For a loyal person like Zhang Xun, once he decides to follow Zhang Xuan, he will definitely devote all his efforts and energy.

And Zhang Xuan has always trained Zhang Xun as his deputy. Zhang Xun could see that he felt the kindness of knowing him and decided to die.

If others intercede, Zhang Xuan will not explain.But since Zhang Xun opened his mouth, Zhang Xuan had to give him some face.

"It's not that I haven't thought about what Mr. Zhang said. As you said, Guo Ziyi is a general, and it can even be said that he is an indispensable general for me. However, I have always been strict in running the army and pay attention to discipline , such a serious crime, if I let Guo Min go, how can everyone be convinced? How can Li Guangbi be convinced?"

"Before the laws and regulations, everyone is equal. No matter who violates the law, they must be dealt with according to the law. If I break the law for personal gain and start this way, how will I manage Longshuo in the future?"

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, waved his hands, and stared at Zhang Xun with a smile.

Zhang Xun's face turned red, and he cupped his hands in embarrassment, "The governor is strict in enforcing the law, and the lower officials are negligent, so I feel extremely ashamed."

Zhang Xuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly said softly, "However, since Mr. Zhang has asked for mercy for this son, I will consider it as appropriate."

"Go and tell Guo Ziyi, and tell me what this official said: send someone to escort Guo Min to Huihe royal court. If the Huihe Khan can forgive him, this official will also make a lenient punishment."

As soon as Zhang Xuan said this, Zhang Xun got up moved and bowed down, but remained silent.

Zhang Xuan was willing to give him this face, and asked him to "tell" Guo Ziyi, which was obviously to give Zhang Xun a huge favor.Guo Ziyi and the Guo family will definitely be grateful to Zhang Xun for this. In the future, Zhang Xun will be acting government affairs in Lingzhou, and Guo Ziyi will naturally have strong support.

At the same time, this is also a disguised form of establishing Zhang Xun's personal authority.

The official position is not high or low, as long as it can be trusted and relied on by the governor.Although Zhang Xun is currently only the Prime Minister of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the pacifier of Lingzhou, and his official rank is not high, but in Longshuo, as long as Zhang Xuan is willing to delegate power and reuse him, he will be the No. 1 under Zhang Xuan. Who would dare to underestimate him? lost him?
"Hehe, but let's put it on hold for now. This brat Guo Min is crazy and rude. Let him learn his lesson first, otherwise he will cause trouble in the future. I am not afraid of him causing trouble, but I am worried about Guo Ziyi. I will be implicated by this evil son." Zhang Xuan smiled, and Zhang Xun hurriedly responded.

Zhang Xun actually understood very well in his heart that Zhang Xuan's "suppression first" may have the intention of continuing to test Guo Ziyi.

……

……

"By the way, that businessman, Wu Xian, once approached the subordinate officer with the token of the governor." Zhang Xun was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something, so he quickly stopped and turned back to continue reporting.

"Oh? Wu Xian has come back from Tubo? Good. Mr. Zhang, please make arrangements for me. I want to see this person as soon as possible. Besides, this person has opened a shop in Lingzhou and is doing business. Please take care of me for me. You just need to know about this matter, don’t spread it.” Zhang Xuan’s eyes flashed with a strange look, and Wu Xian’s arrival meant that the things he had entrusted to Wu Xian had basically been completed.

"Yes, Chief Governor." Zhang Xun arched his hands and smiled softly, "Young Master Pei has also arrived in Lingzhou, and Chang'an Zhonghua Company has also opened a branch in Lingzhou, and it is said that it will continue to extend to Hexi, Western Regions and Beiting. Mr. Pei's business is doing quite well."

A soft smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Xuan's mouth, "Pei Hui came so fast! Well, Mr. Zhang, it's up to you to make arrangements. If Pei Hui wants to see me, arrange it directly without delay."

Zhang Xun took the order and left.

It's a good start when everything is ready.

Looking at Zhang Xun's leaving back, Zhang Xuan relaxed comfortably. At this time, Hua Nu'er was holding a cup of hot tea, turned out from the back tent, and quietly put the tea dregs on his desk.
