Lin Zhao could understand that the court wanted to investigate the situation in Cangzhou. After all, even if he was the emperor in Chang'an, it would be impossible for him to be promoted to someone just because of his side words.

No matter how hungry and thirsty you are, you must see clearly whether it is water before drinking it.

More importantly, Lin Zhao might have bragged a little while writing that memorial, but now the entire Cangzhou area has fallen into his hands, so he is not afraid of these people checking it.

As long as these people don’t believe in speaking.

In this way, Fatty Zhou stayed in Lin Zhao's governor's mansion for one night. The next morning, he complained that Lin Zhao had not treated him well, and shook his head and left Lin Zhao's official office and went to the inn where they stayed.

Lin Zhao watched the fat man leave with laughter and cry.

He knew in his heart that the fat man said "inadequate hospitality" was because he complained that he didn't find a girl to warm the bed last night.

After sending the fat man away, Lin Zhao asked his deputy Song Yan to accompany them, and asked the Qingzhou army to send a hundred people to escort them to Cangzhou along the way to "inspect" the situation in Cangzhou.

Lin Zhao himself is about to start a new round of busyness.

In the past, he was just the governor of Qingzhou Prefecture, and his men were only one thousand united soldiers. He could handle the government affairs of Qingzhou alone. As for the united soldiers, as long as he paid for the money and grain, Pei Jian and Zhao Xie would help him get a job, but now it is different.

Soon, he will become the governor of the three states and the commander of the united troops of the ten states. The work he has to do has increased by seven or eight times compared to before, and he needs to make some preparations.

Therefore, Governor Lin came to Zheng Ya's mansion again.

This time, he wasn't here to ask for money.

Although Datong Trading is rich, it is not easy to help Lin Zhao support a Qingzhou city. If they were asked to help Lin Zhao build united soldiers from ten states, they would probably lose all their money in one year or two years.

Moreover, when Lin Zhao developed to this point, he no longer relied on the wealth of Datong Business. As the governor of the three states, the imperial court did not collect taxes for the time being. In other words, as long as Lin Zhao had the ability, he would spend all the taxes, money and grain in these three states alone.

Therefore, in terms of money and grain, Lin Zhao no longer only enters and cannot leave as before.

However, the united soldiers of the ten states... are more troublesome.

According to the court regulations, the united soldiers of each state are supported by the government offices, but united soldiers do not require much cost. The only cost paid by the government offices before was to exempt taxes from these united soldiers, and some states even asked them to bring their own money and food.

In addition, the regiment training envoys in each state are generally the governors of each state. Lin Zhao, the regiment training envoy, can call on the united soldiers from all over the country, but there is no way to train them. Moreover, not to mention the number of united soldiers in each state, it is a different story whether they have united soldiers, and it does not have much help to Lin Zhao at all.

To put it bluntly, the most direct benefit of Lin Zhao, the troupe training envoy is that the quota of troops has soared ten times, but there are only quotas and no one, so he has to rely on himself to lead the team.

After Lin Zhao arrived at Zheng's mansion, Master Zheng was now making friends in the study room in the backyard. Qingzhou where he and Lin Zhao had already made many friends in Qingzhou. At this time, he was dancing in the study room and living a very casual life.

When he heard that Lin Zhao was coming to the door, the Zheng Da official helplessly threw down his brush and apologized to several friends around him. Then he put his hands on his front sleeve and met Lin Zhao who was drinking tea in the side hall of his backyard.

Master Zheng smiled helplessly: "Master Jun, every time you come to my house, my heart will tremble a few times. After that, what else is there?"

Lin Zhao put down the teacup and smiled at Zheng Ya: "Don't worry, cousin, I'm not here to ask you for money."

Zheng Ya breathed a sigh of relief and sat down: "We brothers, no matter what money we have, Sanlang has to do, and he will do it for you if he has anything to do.

"I won't mention whether to do it or not, I have good news to tell my cousin."

Lin Zhao said with a smile: "I'm going to be promoted."

"Promoted?"

Zheng Ya frowned and asked, "Are the people from the court here?"

"It was here yesterday. Today I asked Song Yan to lead them to Cangzhou. Those are from Chang'an. They can't endure hardships or travel far. I guess they will return to Qingzhou to announce the imperial edict in three or five days."

Zheng Ya asked indifferently: "What's the job? All the team trainers?"

"almost."

Governor Lin smiled and said, "In addition to this, I also let me serve as the governor of Dizhou and Cangzhou."

"So generous?"

Zheng Ya was a little surprised: "If your names are confirmed, they are not far from those smaller military governors."

"It's not just generous, but just to be generous to others."

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "The governor of Dizhou has run away. It is now empty. I have won the battle of Cangzhou by myself. At this time, the imperial court cannot control the place, so it is just a false reputation."

Zheng Ya looked up and down at Lin Zhao a few times and said, "It's rare. At your age, ordinary people have these names and their nostrils must be upside down. It's rare that Sanlang, you can calm down like this."

"It's not considered calm, it's just to tell the truth."

Master Zheng took a sip of tea, slowly exhaled a sip of white breath, and sighed: "Sanlang is getting more and more handsome. It's really rare. After that, what do you want me to do?"

"I…"

Governor Lin lowered his head slightly and said, "I need some manpower."

"manpower?"

Zheng Ya frowned and asked, "Whose man?"

"When I was in Chang'an City, my second uncle once sent a big shopkeeper to help my father-in-law do business. I heard that there are many such big shopkeepers in Datong Business. I want to borrow three or four of them to use them."

Zheng Ya stood up and said angrily: "There are more than ten big shopkeepers in the business, four of which are in Chang'an, and the other eight are scattered all over the world. Even my Zheng family came to Qingzhou last year, and the second uncle gave me the name of a big shopkeeper. You can say that you need three or four!"

"No, don't say I don't agree. If you write a letter to your second uncle, he won't agree!"

"Then you want one."

Lin Zhao frowned slightly and said, "I'll have a few more ordinary shopkeepers to come and work in my governor's mansion."

Speaking of this, Lin Zhao looked up at Zheng Ya and whispered: "As for cousin, I want to invite my cousin to Dizhou to temporarily manage my business."

Zheng Ya was stunned at first, then rolled his eyes at Lin Zhao.

"I won't go. I'm a beautiful wife and concubine here, so I'm too lazy to move. Besides, Fan Yangjun will turn around and pull out the thorn on your heel at any time. I can't run away, so I won't go to work hard for you!"

“I’m not talking about now.”

Governor Lin said lightly: "Yesterday I received an urgent letter from Chang'an. It seems that a small group of troops in Fan Yang's army have been walking back from Henan Prefecture. After I deal with them, my cousin will go to Dizhou to serve. How about it?"

Zheng Ya didn't say anything. He sat in his position, raised his head and looked at Lin Zhao quietly... bragging.

Lin Zhao ignored Zheng Ya's eyes as if he was looking at the fool, but said to himself: "In addition, I also need some scholars. There are almost no one available officials in Qingzhou, which is really a headache."

Governor Lin turned his head to look at Zheng Ya, who looked strange, and smiled indifferently.

"If my cousin knows some reliable scholars, why not introduce them to Qingzhou?"

Governor Lin drew his own big pie.
