Mixed in Datang to be a son-in-law

"Isn't it good for my mother and I to live here?" Wu Jue said, "I want to go out and live with my mother. How about finding a house nearby?"

"How good is it to live here?" Zhou Jinyan said: "You haven't seen this house, it's so big and has no boundaries, you go out to live, it's not familiar with the place, and it's dangerous, so just live here."

"Can........"

"It's nothing." Zhou Jinyan said: "This is not Chang'an. This is Yazhou. You are not familiar with the situation. You and your aunt live here well. If someone in the mansion bullies you, you tell me and I will drive them back to Chang'an immediately." .”

"No one bullies us." Wu Jue shook his head hurriedly, seeing Zhou Jinyan's firm attitude, he had no choice but to agree.

"There are many courtyards here, you can choose by yourself, and you can choose whichever one you like."

"really?"

I don't know when Yang walked up behind the two of them, and asked with a look of surprise.

"Mother." Wu Jue called out with a headache.

Yang ignored her, "Consort Zhou, I want to live in the main house in the middle courtyard, how about it?"

"no problem."

Before Wu Jue could speak, Zhou Jinyan agreed, "It doesn't matter if you want to live in it. You don't know that the governor's mansion is too big. If it's empty, it's better to be more lively."

"Hey."

Yang smiled openly.

Wu Jue curled his lips and stopped talking.

Zhou Jinyan said: "Miss Wu, you are here, get acquainted for a while, and then we have to start business activities. From now on, I will be the boss of Yazhou. If there is anything that needs improvement, you can tell me. If there is anything you want to do, Go ahead and do it. Make sure nothing gets in the way."

Wu Jue smiled and said: "It's exactly what I want, it seems boring to watch nothing to do."

"Don't worry, play for a while. Find out the situation before we talk."

After talking briefly with Wu Jue for a while, the mother and daughter went to tidy up their courtyard again.

Zhou Jinyan looked at Wu Jue's back with thoughtful eyes.

"This woman... has too much desire for power. She can't be allowed to hold power, but she can be in charge of business."

Tailor Xishi Pei Niang and Du Yanran are both good at doing business, but in the long run, Zhou Jinyan still values ​​this empress.

He is now a governor, the governor of a state, and he can't spend all his time in business.

You have to manage government affairs.

For the next period of time, Zhou Jinyan was immersed in the government and military affairs of the five counties in Yazhou.

After all, he had no experience in this field. Within half a month, he became dizzy and felt that this was not a human job.

There is no such thing as making money and picking up girls all day long.

Datang State is divided into three levels, according to the population.

Upper state, middle state, and lower state respectively.

The five counties in Yazhou, Yandao County, Lushan County, Mingshan County, Baizhang County, and Rongjing County, have a total population of more than 2. They happen to be Zhongzhou.

It is exactly the same as Zhou Jinyan's title.Belongs to Jiannan Road.

Under the governor, there are Biejia, Changshi, and Sima. Unlike before, these official positions do not hold power, but are just for the court to accommodate idle officials.

Those who are really in charge are Sigong, Sicang, Sihu, Judiciary, Sibing, Sitian and other Cao Canjun, who are responsible for handling all aspects of government affairs.

The chief of the county is the county magistrate. Zhou Jinyan said that the governor owns five counties and is in charge of four county magistrates. Among them, Yandao County, which is governed by him, is personally under his command.

Apart from these, the officials of the Tang Dynasty are very complicated. Zhou Jinyan is a white body. When he was in Chang'an, he never paid attention to these things. Now seeing these things, his head exploded.

Wu Jue and others helped him investigate the business situation of the five counties.

Zhou Jinyan continued to deal with and sort out the complicated and chaotic relationships among the five counties.

"Lang Jun, Ah Da is asking to see you outside."

Yue Ji walked in and said.

"Let him in."

Zhou Jinyan didn't lift his head.

"The humble official has seen the governor."

Ah Da's current official position is to record affairs and join the army, and he is in charge of a state's military.

As for the former recorder who joined the army, Zhou Jinyan found a reason to kick him out on the second day after he arrived.

Maybe he can delegate power to government affairs, but he must fully control military power.

The shadow hasn't come back yet, when she comes back, Zhou Jinyan asks him to be Ah Da's adjutant, but he doesn't obey.

This can be regarded as an explanation to the shadow.

"Forget it," Zhou Jinyan raised his head and said with a smile, "you don't need to be so polite in front of me from now on, just call me Mr. Lang."

Ah Da was grateful to Zhou Jinyan from the bottom of his heart, nodded slightly, and said, "Mr. Lang, I have thoroughly checked these days. Our five counties have a total of 1000 soldiers, and the average number of soldiers in each county is less than two hundred. Actually These cannot be called soldiers, that is, militiamen, responsible for law and order."

"Not bad, not too little."

"I took charge of the military affairs of the two counties adjacent to ours, and inserted our people into them, but the county magistrates of Baizhang County and Rongjing County, the military and government officials, just caught us and ignored us at all, and I couldn't force it. I had to come back and report the situation."

Chapter 546

Zhou Jinyan was noncommittal, but said, "How about the magistrates of Lushan County and Mingshan County?"

Ah Da hesitated and said: "It's okay, he is generally very polite to me, but he is a little distant."

Zhou Jinyan nodded secretly, such a person can be used, but he can't really talk to each other.

Now there are no talents, just use them first.

But the county magistrates of Baizhang County and Rongjing County seem to have to be replaced.

If the rights given by Li Shimin are not used properly, isn't it a waste?

"Don't worry about the affairs of those two counties. You build a team of 300 people on the basis of the original. The security of our Yazhou will depend on this team in the future."

"Here!"

Yandao County is on the border of Datang, and it shouldn't be a big problem to train a patrol team of several hundred people there.

Zhou Jinyan's plan is to fully arm these people in the future.

It is enough to be able to fight an enemy several times his own.

With the blessing of modern weapons, he fully believes that it can be done.

After Ah Da left, Zhou Jinyan tapped his head, there was still a shortage of talents.

Although he is not good at internal affairs, he still has a way of judging people.

Don't talk about other counties, let's just talk about Yandao County, the government of Yazhou. Those who do things like Sigong, Sicang, and Sihu are all very slick, which makes him very dissatisfied.

Not only is he not an officer, but he is also very good at wrangling, and his family background is not bad.

It's not that he can't find talents for the time being, he has already kicked these people out.

"I've been here for almost half a month, and none of the county magistrates from the other counties came to visit me."

When Zhou Jinyan thought of this, he felt it was funny.

"I'm afraid you look down on me. You have no hair on your mouth, so you can't do things well?"

Zhou Jinyan suddenly knew Li Shimin a little bit, and gave him full power to deal with it.

After all, he is still young, and he has never been a governor at such a young age before. Without absolute rights, how can he fight against these "bandits, bandits, and hooligans"?

Thinking on the one hand, doing on the other hand, Zhou Jinyan can be considered to have experienced the difficulties of being an official.

Although he has long been prepared.

"Is your husband there?"

In the outer courtyard, Li Mengjiang greeted Yue Ji who was by the door.

"Lang Jun is inside."

Li Mengjiang asked her to report, and then walked in with her.

"Linchuan, why are you here?"

Zhou Jinyan put away his slightly depressed mood and stood up.

"Come and see your husband."

Li Mengjiang said with a smile: "Recently, I see that you are frowning, did you encounter some difficult things to solve?"

"Just a little thing."

Zhou Jinyan asked her to sit down, and said with a wry smile, "It's really difficult to be an official, I'm not the material."

"Can you tell me, sir?"

Li Mengjiang asked in a low voice.

Zhou Jin said that there was nothing wrong with it, and told her about the difficulties he encountered.

"These people are not responsible. If we want to completely rectify and develop Yazhou, we must all be our own people, and it will be convenient to do things this way. It will prevent one from the outside and another from the inside."

"I don't understand these things, but my husband can actually take his time. I just want to do a good job in Yazhou. Are you a little impatient?"

She smiled and said, "Fifth Sister, Yan Ran, and Miss Wu are working on restaurants recently. If they want to open five restaurants in five counties from the beginning, do you think it will be difficult?"

Zhou Jinyan was slightly stunned, and said casually, "The problem is, I want to come one by one, but the key is that there are no talents. Although those people are old-fashioned fried dough sticks, if they are replaced by random people, it probably won't work."

"Why not?" Li Mengjiang said sternly, "How will you know if you don't try? We brought a lot of people. There are more than 2 households and tens of thousands of people in Yazhou. There are no people with good reputation and ability. ?”

"There are only five counties in total, and there are only a few positions. Instead of thinking about solving it here, it is better to start from Yandao County and solve the problems one by one. I believe that as long as the problem in Yandao County is solved, the other counties will also be able to solve the problems one by one. Much easier."

Zhou Jinyan's eyes lit up, "You are knowledgeable."

"I'm just saying."

Li Mengjiang looked a little shy.

Zhou Jinyan thought for a while and said, "Although nepotism is not good, it is indeed the best way to find it from ourselves."

"Go to the mansion and gather all the people who have read the book, and I will hold a meeting."

"That's fine."

Li Mengjiang smiled slightly, turned and left.

In fact, Zhou Jinyan also wants to choose from Yazhou, but the problem is that there are no familiar people here, and there is no reliable one.

If there is, you can choose from the lowest-level officials, which is much better than his blind selection.

More than 20 people were standing there in the compound of the Governor's Mansion.

Talking in a low voice, I don't know why I and others were called here.

Zhou Jinyan walked in from the door, and immediately saw Ah Wu and several other faces.

"Your Majesty is here."

When everyone saw Zhou Jinyan, they hurriedly kept silent and looked at him together.

Zhou Jinyan walked to the front of the crowd and said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, you are all from my Zhou family and are my confidantes. Your Majesty handed over Yazhou to me and gave me the right to appoint and dismiss officials. Now those under my command I am very dissatisfied with the fact that most of the officials are vegetarians.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then the noise broke out.

Ah Wu was lively and said urgently: "Mr. Lang, do you want us to replace them?"

"Can we still be officials?"

Seeing everyone's excitement, Zhou Jinyan said angrily: "What are you thinking? If you want to be an official, you have to be capable. You have no skills at all. You came here randomly. If you make a mistake, I will also throw you in jail."

In a word, everyone's enthusiasm was extinguished.

"The opportunity is here now."

Zhou Jinyan glanced across their faces, "Who thinks that they are good at internal affairs? Those who can manage the place well, help the people get rich, or have a good handle on cases, can recommend themselves. This opportunity is only once, if you miss it, it will be gone. .”
