I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 468 [1 More] 468

As a country, it is not a big problem for Cheshi country to be classified as a county. Anyway, there are no other small countries near Cheshi country, because there is a large area of ​​Gobi over there, so it can be said that Liu Tan can almost enclose land at will.

In order to fool a county guard from Chang'an, Liu Tan even named that place: Yiwulu County.

Yiwulu is a transliteration of Xiyu language, which means gate.

This place is indeed the gate of the Han Dynasty to the Western Regions.

In fact, not only Yiwulu County needs sheriffs, but other places in the Northern Borderlands also need sheriffs. He has long disliked some sheriffs, such as the sheriffs of Yanmen County.

Before Wushilu plundered Shanggu County, Dai County and Zhuo County next door sent troops to help. Although they couldn't resist, they at least sent troops.

As a result, the sheriff of Yanmen County was greedy for life and afraid of death, and refused to send troops to aid on the grounds that the king of the northern border did not order not to send troops at will.

Liu Tan didn't know about it at the time, but when he found out, he almost lost his temper.

The sheriff of Yanmen County didn't write a letter or write a letter to him from the beginning to the end, so he just dumped the blame on him?

Throw the pot on his head, I will make you headless!

Liu Tan immediately wanted someone to bring the dog head of the sheriff of Yanmen County to him, but Huo Guang stopped him and prevented him from acting impulsively.

The behavior of the governor of Yanmen County is not a problem except for throwing the pot on the head of His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Territory. Indeed, the princes and kings did not give orders, so of course he cannot send troops at will. What about rebellion?

Under Huo Guang's persuasion, Liu Tan did not kill the sheriff of Yanmen County but refused to let him continue to be the sheriff.

Now the position of the sheriff is vacant, and he plans to change the rest slowly.

After Liu Tan finished writing the letter, he thought about it and felt that he had to communicate with Huo Guang. If someone from Chang'an really sent over, it wouldn't be the case that Huo Guang didn't know about it.

After learning of Liu Tan's plan, Huo Guang couldn't help being surprised: "Your Highness doesn't need the talents you cultivated yourself?"

Yan Xingsheng, who was sitting behind Liu Tan, secretly pricked up his ears.

Now that Zhu Shanzhang has been released, it is said that the county magistrate has done a good job, and it seems that he is waiting to accumulate some experience and let him be directly promoted to the county magistrate in the future.

Originally, Yan Xingsheng and Xiao Cheng thought that their route should be similar to Zhu Shanyi's, but it would be hard to say if Chang'an sent someone to parachute.

Liu Tan said with a sullen face: "I can't wait any longer. I will start to obtain a scholar again next year. If I meet a talented person, it may take four or five years, but if not, it may take many years. I really... endure it." No more bastards."

Huo Guang was silent for a while after hearing this, he couldn't say anything about this matter, the sense of division in the whole northern border country is very serious now.

The western half, headed by Shuofang City, is particularly efficient. In the past, only the governor of Dunhuang County was particularly motivated, but since the opening of Guan City, Wuwei County, Jiuquan County, and Zhangye County have all begun to glow with new vitality. vitality.

The county guards who had been muddling along seemed to have found their purpose in life, and began to look up to the Dunhuang county guard.

But the counties in the east are obviously far behind.

Huo Guang does not want all the counties to keep pace. This is unrealistic. There will always be fast and slow development in a place. He is not afraid of slow development, but the sheriffs of these counties really do things without urging them. Don't do it in a hurry, let alone Liu Tan can't stand them, even Huo Guang can't stand them.

But he still said: "Don't change too much in one go."

Liu Tan nodded: "I know, and Chang'an doesn't have so many sons of high-minded officials."

Huo Guang felt that something was wrong: "Wait a minute, why does Your Highness want the sons of officials?"

Liu Tan has always been eclectic in employing people. It doesn't matter what your background is, as long as you have the ability, come here.

Why are you still focusing on the children of officials and eunuchs now?

Liu Tan didn't shy away from him, and directly told Liu Quya's story. After he finished speaking, he said with emotion: "It's easy to hide a spear in the dark, but it's hard to defend against it. Liu Quya is so persistent in dealing with me. I'm far away in the northern border country." , it’s always beyond the reach of the whip, and the father and the crown prince also have to guarantee a certain amount of notarization, if it weren’t for the presence of Da Si Nong this time, if it wasn’t for our taxi master country’s smooth fight, maybe he really got his way.”

You must know that the most disgusting thing about this guy is to play the rhythm under the guise of worrying about the northern border country and the big man.

Huo Guang looked at Liu Tan expressionlessly: "Your Highness, as long as you don't do so many outrageous things, you will be fine."

Liu Tan immediately became displeased: "Do you believe what you said? He Liu Quyu has been staring at us, no matter how careful we are, maybe he can find something. Do you believe it or not? I'll pick him up next time. He's going to say that I'm wasting the country's money and talking cunningly?"

Huo Guang was at a loss for words for a moment. This is really possible. The Northern Kingdom knows from top to bottom that every time the King of the Northern Realm picks up things, he spends his own money. The first thing to do is to buy land for the construction project. Of course, the money is basically negligible. Apart from this, you will also buy other things, which can even drive the economy of the northern border country.

But Chang'an may not know that, in everyone's impression, the taxes of the vassal states are the money of the vassals and kings, and the vassals and kings wish not to spend a cent of it on the people. How could someone take the initiative to pay taxes to the treasury?

But when Liu Tan said this, Huo Guang understood his thoughts. To put it bluntly, he wanted to hold a few hostages in the northern border country. At the critical moment, these people should stand up and sideline the fight.

Huo Guang asked: "Your Highness, are you sure someone will come? The Northern Kingdom is not a good place."

Liu Tan chuckled: "Although the tax revenue of the northern border country is not the best in the country, it can catch up with the average line. It's not that bad, and there are some people who can't get up or down now. Let's let them go and become county magistrates I am wronged, but I am not qualified to be a county guard. These will not be a problem in the northern border country, and the northern border country can definitely be promoted."

Huo Guang glanced at him: "Your Highness can decide on this matter."

Liu Tan said: "Then do you have anyone to recommend? I haven't finished writing the letter to my father. If you think it's okay, I'll write it directly. Let's ask if it works."

After all, Huo Guang grew up in Chang'an, and he has come into contact with quite a few children from aristocratic families. If he thinks they are not bad, they are worth abducting.

Huo Guang pondered for a while and said, "There are, but they may not meet His Highness's requirements."

Liu Tan was a little strange: "If you have the ability, why don't you meet my requirements?"

Huo Guang said: "Because their father was framed and died, it can't play a role in helping His Highness speak in the court."

Liu Tan choked: "That's what I said. Even if they really send their son here, they may not really help me. Tell me who it is first."

Huo Guang hesitated for a while and said: "I still want to say that these two people may not be suitable, of course, it depends on His Highness's will."

Liu Tan raised his eyebrows: "It's rare that you are such a mother-in-law, tell me quickly."

Huo Guang said: "There are two people who are not bad, and these two are brothers. The elder brother is suitable to be a county guard, and the younger brother can also be a county magistrate. They are Zhang He and Zhang Anshi."

Liu Tan was slightly taken aback when he heard these two names. He always felt that they sounded very familiar. After a while, he realized that he was surprised and asked, "It turned out to be them?"
