Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

It is said that one year to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflake silver.But the annual salt transportation envoy is really more than one hundred thousand snowflake silver.

In the same way, if you want to get the position of Salt Transport Envoy that everyone is jealous of, you have no foundation or a strong backer, even if you are a Jinshi and a first-year student, you can't even think about it.

Guo Ye gave him another booster and said, "What did I lie to you for? Didn't Liu Zhenxuan tell you that I'm going to Yangzhou soon to take up the post of governor? And you claim to be well-informed, so you should Have you heard of the controversy at court this morning? The Holy Majesty not only asked me to curb the salt tax in Yangzhou, but also promised that I would choose the candidates for the salt transport envoy. Tell me, why am I lying to you?"

"Really...really...huh?"

Liu Zhenxuan did mention to Guan Jiujiu that Guo Ye was appointed as the governor of Yangzhou, and he also heard about the court meeting in the morning, but he did not trick himself into the position of Yanyun envoy. Now let Guo Ye say it again , which is obviously true.

Is it really pie in the sky?

In an instant, he had a feeling of being knocked on the door suddenly by happiness.

puff~!

Guan Jiujiu's knees softened, she knelt down in front of Guo Ye, and shouted: "Your Excellency is really kind to the students. The biggest wish of the students in this life is to set foot in the officialdom and experience the addiction of the officials. .My lord, my lord is really the student's reborn parents, the student must be loyal to my lord, and I will do my best to die!"

"Okay, okay, don't show your loyalty." Guo Ye waved his hand to signal him to get up quickly, and then said, "As long as you do your best for me, that is the greatest reward for me. Inviting you here today is not only about appointing you In addition to the matter of the Salt Transport Envoy, there is another thing I want to tell you to do."

Guan Jiujiu got up abruptly, puffed out his chest and shouted a slogan: "My lord has shown me the grace of knowing me, how dare the student refuse to die?"

Guo Ye had a headache again, and stopped him: "Hiss, don't swear by your words. In this way, you can find someone from the newspaper office in the past two days, and let him replace you. After all, you will be a salt worker in Yangzhou in the future." It's impossible to distract the newspaper office here in Chang'an Changlefang, right?"

Guan Jiujiu repeatedly said yes, and suggested a personal choice without thinking: "My lord, do you think that Miss You Ji can do it? Let's not talk about this girl's talent, but she is now famous in Chang'an City relying on her serialized stories. It is not wrong for the newspaper to designate her."

Yuki?

If Guan Jiujiu didn't mention it, Guo Ye almost forgot about this strange woman who was full of literary youth.

He thought about it secretly, it's okay, anyway, this girl has nothing to do all day, except for writing scripts, all she has to do is moan and look up to the sky and look at the moon, so it's fine to find something for her to do.

Immediately nodded, agreed to Guan Jiujiu's proposal.

Afterwards, he told Guan Jiujiu, "You can talk to Miss You Ji when you turn around, and then leave for Yangzhou tomorrow."

"Huh? So fast?"

Guan Jiujiu asked in astonishment: "Sir, didn't the student go to Yangzhou with you?"

Guo Ye shook his head, smiled mysteriously, and said, "No, you go to Yangzhou first, and I will wait for the official document from the Ministry of Officials before you can leave. And if you go to Yangzhou first, you don't want to take office right away, but wait until I arrive before you show up."

Guan Jiujiu was puzzled and asked: "Then why did the students go so early? Could it be that the adults want the students to go to the front early?"

"Smart, just one click!"

Guo Ye gave a thumbs up and praised: "The situation in Yangzhou is more complicated. After you get there, don't reveal your identity, but secretly inquire about some situations for me. For example, the Zhang family, the largest family in Yangzhou, how powerful are they in Yangzhou?" , as well as the situation in the officialdom of Yangzhou, and the surnames of the county magistrates under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou. Of course, the most important thing is to search for some ironclad evidence that the current Yangzhou Salt Transport Envoy has pocketed his own money. Otherwise, hehe, how can we kick this person away? Make room for you?"

Guan Jiujiu didn't care much when he heard the above, but when he heard Guo Ye's last words, he regained his energy and immediately understood.

That's right, if you don't overthrow the current Yangzhou Salt Transport Envoy, how can you make room for yourself?And you have to understand the specific situation of Yangzhou's salt tax, otherwise, you will accept it. If the other party leaves you a mess full of holes, is it a loss?

Immediately, Guan Jiujiu patted his chest and reassured: "My lord, don't worry, the students will definitely manage things beautifully, and make a good front for your lord."

Guo Ye was very satisfied when he heard that Suan Xiucai was indeed a good player at the outpost.If he hadn't been dispatched to Chang'an in advance, how could Haitian Feast Restaurant be where it is today?

Forget it, this guy is destined to be an outpost.

He smiled and cared and said, "Old Guan, how can I not worry about your work? By the way, when you go out of the house, you can ask Liu Zhenxuan to send you a few soldiers to go to Yangzhou with you in disguise, and I can take care of you at that time." You, protect your security."

The ardent concern is beyond words.

Guan Jiujiu was naturally moved, and after a long bow, he bid farewell and said, "My lord, the student will go back first."

Guo Ye let out a sigh, and personally sent him to the entrance of the hall, watching him meet Liu Zhenxuan who was standing in the courtyard outside.

Soon, Liu Zhenxuan and Guan Jiujiu went down together, and they should have gone to pick up the entourage where the three hundred soldiers were stationed in the mansion.

After arranging Guan Jiujiu's whereabouts and asking him to go to Yangzhou in advance to make an outpost, Guo Ye stood in the hall and thought to himself, is there anything else that has been missed?

slap~

He slapped his forehead suddenly, and exclaimed: "That's right, Liu Zhenxuan will serve as Captain Guoyi, and Guan Jiujiu will serve as Salt Transport Envoy, but the candidate for Captain Zhechong of Yangzhou has not yet been found."

After he reacted, the thoughts in his mind instantly fluttered. This candidate will be a great help for him in Yangzhou in the future. Go, don't be your own hindrance.

For a while, he screened the candidates he knew one by one, but he couldn't find a suitable one, because this candidate must be found from the Yangzhou forces who were born and bred.

However, he didn't even know a local snake in Yangzhou, let alone one from the military camp.

Just when he was struggling to choose someone, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a name appeared...

Su Dingfang! !

Yes, it is Su Dingfang!

The figure of Su Dingfang, who was two meters tall, instantly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "That's right, it's really riding a donkey to find a donkey. Su Dingfang is also a veteran in the army after all. What is he doing in Yangzhou?" There are also a few old friends in the army, right? Why don't you find Su Dingfang and ask him to help recommend someone in Yangzhou?"

After saying that, he made up his mind and asked Su Dingfang for help.

Immediately, he raised his voice and yelled: "Zhenxuan, Zhenxuan, hurry up and prepare the car, let's go to the yamen of the Youlingjun Weifu, I want to visit General Su in person!"

Chapter 734

Liu Zhenxuan drove the carriage and pulled Guo Ye out of Taipingfang, heading south all the way to the Yamen of the Right Leader Weifu.

In less than half a cup of tea, the carriage arrived at the place, Guo Ye lifted the curtain and jumped down, told Liu Zhenxuan to wait outside, and then came to visit by himself.

There were a group of sergeants standing on both sides of the gate of the yamen, he didn't know any of them, they seemed to be recruits, not the ones that Cheng Huaiyi and Qin Huaiyu had previously received.

So he didn't rush in, but stepped forward to ask in a friendly voice. When he asked General Su if he was working in the yamen, the recruits nodded yes, but their eyes were evasive.

Guo Ye secretly thought it was strange, the quality of this group of recruits was really bad.But he didn't bother to pay attention to those who weren't his soldiers, so he had to trouble them to go in and report to General Su, saying that Guo Ye was visiting.

Perhaps this group of guard recruits didn't know who Guo Ye was at all, and they all squeaked, and they didn't take the initiative to run into the Yamen to pass the news on Guo Ye's behalf.

Damn it, they've done evil, this group of people are nothing more than recruits, they're just a bunch of elm-headed idiots.

Grandma, you don’t want to help spread the word, do you?Buddy go in and find it yourself.

Guo Ye simply didn't say anything else, and went straight to the yamen with his feet up.

Heck!

The two squads of guards on both sides of the gate were unexpectedly indifferent and did not catch up.

Guo Ye became more and more suspicious. Could it be that something happened in the yamen of the Weifu, the leader of the right army?Or do you mean that these people have all fallen into a demon and become dumb and stupid?

After he ran in, he searched for a while, and suddenly saw a school lieutenant not far away who looked familiar to him, as if he was there in front of Suzaku's gate to prevent three thousand poor students from gathering together last time, and he had also whispered to Su Dingfang very closely look.
