The chiefs studied hard, and Zhang Jiuling's official document was sent out.
According to Li Feng's plan, the Yan family and the people of Zaiyuan County who had a close relationship with them were transferred to the Ministry of Shipping.
They were given higher official positions and more real power. They were sent here to monitor the trade of barbarians, mainly to see if they had done anything harmful to the Tang dynasty.
Zhang Jiuling's position was increased, and he had the power to order the local officials to cooperate.
Huang An wrote an official document and sent it out, telling the entire Guangzhou that there was a new Patrol Inspector. It was the previous Inspector of Shipping, Zhang Jiuling.
"Money moves people's hearts." Huang An ordered his people to send his official document and Zhang Jiuling's transfer order to Zaiyuan County together. The other counties were not in a hurry.
"If they don't do anything, who can do anything to them?" Zhang Jiuling did not pity the Yan family.
How many chances had he given them? They were too greedy.
As a local official, they did not think about helping the people live a good life. They only thought about making money.
They were not officials transferred from outside. The local clans could only strengthen their family by benefiting their hometown.
Zhang Jiuling himself was a person who benefited his hometown. He was angry with Li Longji and resigned to go home.
Then, he found that the road was not good. It was not a matter of a day or two, but he chose to write a letter asking for the road to be repaired.
There were two reasons for writing the letter. One was that he really wanted to repair the road, and the other was to test Li Longji's reaction.
According to the historical timeline, when he was repairing the road, Yao Chong and Bi Goo had died.
In the end, he did not test the road like in history. The road was repaired, and Li Yi was protecting him.
"Mr. Zhang, I wrote a private letter to the Huang family. I was afraid that they would have problems."
Huang An did not hide anything. He wanted to let the Huang family know in advance.
He told them not to mess around and that Li Yi would intervene.
Li Yi was far away in Chang 'an and could not take care of Guangzhou. Li Yi was in Chang' an, far from the source of the Yellow River, but he could still command from a distance.
The Winged Knights had 1,300 men and 1,000 new guns. They were ready to help the local area clean up the wild beasts.
Zhang Jiuling picked up his teacup and drank a mouthful of tea before putting it down, "Tell them that there will be benefits. Li Yi is used to giving benefits to officials."
"Eunuch Song's letter mentioned that the extra money and things that the officials in the capital office receive is more than double their salary."
Huang An told him about his correspondence with Song Jing.
"Guangping is having a hard time now. There are many Prime Ministers, and His Majesty has yet to return to the palace. He has a good personal relationship with you. If you do well in Guangzhou, you'll gain some face for him."
Zhang Jiuling could feel Song Jing's pain. As the Chancellor's assistant, and the most important one at that, he had to rely on Li Yi whenever something big happened.
What was even more depressing was that there was nothing he could do. Li Yi was too capable.
If it were anyone else, they would have ordered the prefectures along the way to provide reinforcements and retreated once the front lines were victorious.
They had no choice but to retreat. Their supplies couldn't keep up.
It was a normal operation, and being able to do this was already not bad.
When it came to Li Yi, he had given out five hundred thousand taels a long time in advance. After that, he had started to send over a steady stream of things.
Retreat? How could he retreat? Once he conquered and occupied it, he, Zhuangzi, would make up for whatever he needed.
When it came to Guangzhou, the Chancellor's normal operation was to give him the authority to make arrangements. At the same time, he would send people to restrict him.
As for the Yan family, he would reprimand them.
Li Yi's methods were different. He directly asked the aboriginals to be registered. It didn't matter where the Yan family was.
Fortunately, there was nothing happening in the northeast for now. Otherwise, Li Yi would have to make a move. He always had a way.
With such an intelligent existence, it was very painful to be the Chancellor's assistant.
The key was that he didn't obtain his position through slanderous words. He really did work. He came up with ideas and provided things himself.
"The Chancellor's life in the imperial court is not good?" Huang An was puzzled.
"It's good that you've thought it through. Arrange for Li Feng and the others to go to Zaiyuan County." Zhang Jiuling didn't want to talk about the imperial court.
Because there was no peace there now. They were suppressed by Li Yi together. They wanted to find trouble with Li Yi but were worried that Li Yi would be angry.
Ordinary troubles were not trouble for Li Yi. He could solve them easily. The troubles of deceiving the people were the most difficult for Li Yi.
But when it came to deceiving the people and making things difficult for Li Yi, Li Yi would be ruthless.
Huang An first wrote a letter to the Huang family. He was not the patriarch. He was still young.
His position was high. He wanted to tell the patriarch to take care of the children of the Huang family. They must not cause trouble at the critical moment.
The Yellow River was flowing. The customs of Guangzhou were very important.
If Guangzhou's tax collection was delayed because of the Huang family, and there was even a little oversight on the front line, the imperial court would turn around and push all the responsibility to the Huang family.
After writing the private letter, he asked his trusted subordinate to send it back. Then, he wrote the appointment document.
He appointed Li Feng as the temporary county magistrate of Zaiyuan County. The others who came with Li Feng would be the villagers of Li Family Zhuangzi.
They were slaves and could not be officials. Anyway, no one knew about it. It was only temporary. They would be replaced later.
The Li Family Zhuangzi would not agree to them being officials here.
Was the position of county magistrate in a remote area higher than the position of the fifth steward of the Li Family Zhuangzi? Every villager was groomed by the Li Family Zhuangzi.
Huang An put down the pen and waited for the ink on the paper to dry. He smiled, "Duke Zhang, can Li Feng and the others support Zaiyuan County?"
"Do you think the Yan family will continue to cause trouble? The Li Family Zhuangzi is rich. The Winged Knights also brought me a lot of exchange coupons. "
Zhang Jiuling thought it through. Li Feng and the others had backing. Their backing was rich. Money was enough!
Li Feng was having a meeting with the villagers. Tan Shui insisted on listening. She used the excuse that she did not have time to study as an excuse to sit in.
Li Feng agreed. The other party represented hundreds of thousands of villagers. There were more than 110,000 people who were digging coal and repairing roads.
They were the real representatives. They could mobilize the army at any time.
"The population of Zaiyuan County is small. We have several options. One is to use money. It's the most convenient. What do you think?"
Li Feng said what many people thought was more realistic.
"Xiao Feng, there is no need. Giving money is easy, but it won't last long."
"Yes, the people are just looking for temporary wealth. It's hard to change their hearts."
"Dongzhu said that the local yellow skin is good. We can ask the people to make it into dried yellow skin. We can buy it or give it to the barbarians."
"It's best to give it to the barbarians. Yellow skin is still fresh. It's good to use it for digestion."
The people of the Li Family Zhuangzi objected to directly using money to buy people in pursuit of long-term interests.
Li Feng nodded his head: "Well, let's start with yellow skin first. I think about other aspects. Ask the locals to collect shells, grind them into powder, and transport them to other places to sell to poultry."
"This is the follow-up. The most important thing is to change the tools for the people."
"I think of a way. Let's ask the local people where there are fierce beasts. Let's ask the Winged Knights to hunt them.
When we find them, we will tell them who provided us with the information. Then we can sell the fur and bones that can be used as medicinal materials to make ironware. "
"There are also herbs. We brought the picture book. Let's ask them together. Let's get the tools first. After that, the people can get the things for their families."
The villagers once again expressed their opinions. No one cared about Li Feng's face. They just told the truth.
"Okay!" Li Feng didn't care. He was a slave. It was important to do things well. His interests were dependent on Li Yi's attitude.
