After Jia Sidao gave another advice, Zhang Shu, Yu Jie and others quickly left.

There are so many things to prepare when the army set out, let alone military operations that were temporarily decided like Jia Sidao.

Zhang Shu, Yu Jie and Xu Kai led their troops to Lianzhou first. Jia Sidao only gave him one day to set off. One day, all supplies, food, grass, and weapons must be prepared, which is a huge project in itself. This is also one of the reasons why Jia Sidao sent Shi Chun, Shui Wen, Yao Xing, Jian Fangda and other people who were originally from the two routes to the two armies.

After all, Shi Chun, Jian Fangda and others are both local tyrants. They put them all in the army, and they will be successful if they win, but no one can escape if they lose. Moreover, Zhang Shu and others are obviously all Gastu’s confidants. Whether they accept or not, they will be defeated. Before the court receives the news to deal with him, he has enough time to clean up Shi Chun and others first.

I think Shi Chun and others know this too.

Fortunately, the Caosi has now been merged into the General Office of the Market and the General Office of the Market. Yu Ci, Zhou Tan and others watched, and with the help of the Caosi and the Kuangsi, according to the current bloated bureaucratic system on Guangdong Road, when Jia Sidao gave a dead order, he thought that he would prepare 20,000 troops of food, supplies and weapons for the 20,000 troops. Although it may be a bit difficult, it is not absolutely impossible to complete it.

At least Jia Sidao has not heard anyone say that food, supplies, and weapons cannot be prepared for it. Even Shi Chun and others have no objection. Obviously, these local snakes are the most clear about the situation of these military supplies in Guangdong.

Hope everything goes well.

Jia Sidao stood up and prepared to go to the back house to see Xu Ruoxi.

Ten months pregnant, and it will be given birth these days. In addition to Liu Ru, who is already very cold-hearted, who has to go out every day because she is busy with her own tribe's residence, the two girls Shi Zhenxiang and Huang Jiao Niang can be said to be inseparable from Xu Ruoxi. Even Jia Sidao went to take a look and was kicked out, saying that it was unlucky for a man to enter the delivery room.

As soon as I left the study, I saw Zhao Yi coming in a hurry.

Jia Sidao stopped, could it be that he really responded to the unfavorable saying that the passing years was unfavorable?

"grown ups."

"What's wrong?"

"Dozens of rural gentry from Guangzhou City went to the prefect to petition for Lord Ding to give an explanation."

"Petition? Confession? What is petition? What is confession?"

Jia Sidao frowned slightly.

He knew very well that these gentry, if they were themselves alone, were nothing, but how could these gentry just represent themselves? Each of them had a clan behind them.

Nowadays, the clan forces in Lingnan and other places are extremely huge, and in some places it has even surpassed the influence of the government. Similarly, because of the huge clan forces, the clan forces are extremely rigid in the southwest boundaries. Many local officials even come from local wealthy families.

Shi Chun, Jian Fangda and others can be said to be typical representatives of the clan forces in the east and west of Guangnan.

Each of the six generals of Shuaisi had a clan with strong local power behind them. The six of them were the spokespersons of this clan on the official side. If Jia Sidao had not grasped the fatal points of Shi Chun and others first and had enough troops to suppress everyone, it would have been not so easy to make Shi Chun, Jian Fangda and others obedient.

Zhao Yun transferred the former Jingjiang prefect Qin Zhonghai back to Lin'an as deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and freed up his position to Hong Wenhao.

Qin Zhonghai is a distant relative of Zhao Depu, the king of Siyi. He served in Jingjiang Prefecture for more than ten years, which was a miracle in the officialdom. In order to make Zhao Depu agree to transfer Qin Zhonghai, Zhao Yun and Shi Song paid a considerable price. Deputy envoy of the Privy Council. Although Qin Zhonghai entered the Privy Council only had a deputy envoy, and was one of the four deputy envoys, it was a great victory for the royal family. After all, the royal family's hands could finally reach into the military.

Although Qin Zhonghai left, the Jingjiang Mansion, which he had been operating for more than ten years, still left a lot of trouble for Hong Wenhao. Not long ago, Hong Wenhao's letter was still saying that the wealthy gentry and clans in the Jingjiang Mansion were restraining him everywhere. Although it was not as good as the government orders could not go out, Jia Sidao thought about it, but it was still different.

Hong Wenhao is not like Ding Daquan. With the ancestor Jia Sidao next to him, except for the dozens of personal soldiers given by Jia Sidao, he can be considered a lonely man who went to Jingjiang Mansion to take office.

It can prevent even the government orders of a dignified prefect from leaving, which shows how huge the clan forces in various parts of Lingnan are.

For example, the prefects in Yingde, Zhaoqing, Deqing, Qingyuan and other places are basically the best local gentry.

The gentry relies on the huge local clan forces to support their spokespersons, and their spokespersons serve their clans in all aspects. The dependence between the two sides is somewhat like a collusion between officials and businessmen, but it is much stronger than that of ordinary officials and businessmen. After all, their spokespersons are people within their clans, and they are all people with outstanding talents.

Such a deformed relationship also directly affected the officialdoms in Lingnan.

Just look at the officialdoms in Lingnan, you can know that those who have been in short-term prefects, such as Su Xuan, the governor of Zhaoqing, Fei Shan, the governor of Deqing, have been in office for five or six years, and those who have been in office for a long time, Wei Yidong, the governor of Yingde, have been in office for eight years, and Yu Haoyi, the governor of Qingyuan, have been in office for twelve years.

To put it closer, Qin Zhonghai, who was squeezed away by Hong Wenhao, was an outsider and also stayed in the position of Jingjiang Prefect for ten years.

This phenomenon is obviously contrary to the three-year rules of local officials in the imperial court.

Who doesn’t know about the situation in the various places in Lingnan, including the Ministry of Personnel and even Zhao Yun? Obviously they all know it.

But even though we know, there is no change. The reason is that it is the influence of clan forces in various parts of Lingnan. In the face of the squeeze and constraints of local clan forces, when facing the Ministry of Personnel's annual school examination, it is difficult for them to not tell their political achievements.

In this way, after the Ministry of Personnel’s examination, not to mention promotion, even black sha may not be able to be kept.

This also directly caused that, except for the local scholars in Lingnan who were able to hold their official positions with the support of their clans, outsiders would rather wait for the filling of the gaps than go to Lingnan to become officials.

During this period, Jia Sidao was busy integrating various affairs of the Maritime General Office, Caosi and Shuaisi, and had not had time to deal with local gentry forces in Lingnan, especially Guangzhou. Of course, the clan forces represented by Shi Chun, Shui Wen, Yao Xing and others were a different saying.

It is completely impossible to do something in Guangdong without dealing with clan forces represented by gentry in various parts of Guangdong. After all, all their clans control nearly 70% to 80% of the fertile land in the entire Guangdong Province. They also control nearly 50% of the commerce in various parts of Guangdong.

If we cannot reach cooperation or reach consensus with the gentry to gain their support, although Jia Sidao, the Guangdong appeaser, will not be as difficult as those local officials, it will definitely not be too good unless he wants to use thunder means. However, if he does that, Guangdong will be in chaos, which is not in line with Jia Sidao's interests.

"Please send troops to wipe out the mob, saying that the Manichaeism rebellion is about to reach Guangzhou City, and ask the prefect how to defend the enemy. Take a look..."

"By the way, see if we have any oil on the soles of our feet and left them and ran away?"

Jia Sidao took Zhao Yi's words and said with a smile.

Zhao Yi scratched his head awkwardly and did not dare to continue to answer the conversation.

"I was thinking about waiting for a few days to meet these gentry, but I didn't expect that they would come to the door today. But when I came to the prefect's office, it seems that Zi Wan's dealing with them over the days is too gentle? I'm afraid that it's secondary. I want to see me the real purpose.

But didn’t this rumor spread just now? These gentry got the news so quickly and got together? Or did they ask for more information than I received? If so, would it be that they had been staying in Guangzhou City before and had long been thinking about finding a reason to meet me?"

Jia Sidao thought about it and said to himself.

Who doesn’t know that Ding Daquan is Jia Sidao’s number one confidant? Who doesn’t know that the Guangzhou Prefect’s Office is actually only separated from the Guangdong Funeral Mansion?

Dozens of gentry came together, with such a huge momentum, how could the comforting envoy's mansion across the street not hear the movement?

Of course, if they had received these rumors and gathered together for a long time, there was a possibility, but the possibility was not very high. The only possibility was that the new pacifier had been here for several months and had not expressed his feelings to them, the gentry who had huge potential in various parts of Guangdong, which made these gentry feel dissatisfied.

I am afraid that even after today, even if there is no Lianzhou and Wuping, and even if there is no Manichae mob about to attack Guangzhou, these gentry would still find other excuses to come to the prefect's office to express their feelings.

"Let me go and meet these squire in person."

"grown ups……"

When Zhao Yi heard Jia Sidao's words, he was immediately anxious.

"What's wrong?"

"Sir, the hearts of the people in the city are now floating, and a large number of people from the Ming Cult sneak into the city. Even if there is a Jinyiwei Yamen search, it will not be able to be searched in a short time. It is too dangerous for the traveler to go to the prefect's office. Why wouldn't you summon Lord Ding and the gentry to comfort the envoy's mansion?"

Zhao Yi clasped his fists and tried to dissuade him.

"You, you. Which one do you think is more difficult to guard against than the plots I encountered before? Not to mention, this is still in Guangzhou City. What's more, calling them to come with me is a different matter... Okay, I'll just go there myself and go to the back door of the prefect's office. If you are really worried, go and invite Miss Liu."
