Chapter 63 The reason for today
"Oh?" Liu Yang was very surprised when he heard this. "Your words make sense. You should prepare in advance and learn more. Where did you see it?"
"Well, it's what the art of war said," Liu Gang was excited and felt that he had put what he learned into practice. "The art of war is full of things. First win and then seek war. It means that the situation of both sides must be clearly compared to ensure their own advantages, and then move out, and you will win if you go out!"
"Okay! OK!" Liu Yang stretched his eyebrows and looked at the nephew with a gratitude. "I just said that since you like military tactics, you should not limit them. Learning is important, but military tactics must also be learned. Although today is peaceful, there are bandits in various places. Learning military tactics is not without a place to use their skills. I think what you said today is very good. Next time they talk about it, you might as well show your military tactics and strategies!"
"This... this is actually..." Liu Gang was a little embarrassed. Just as he was about to explain, a Zaoli came over and arrived at Liu Yang. After whispering a few words, Liu Yang's expression changed and he turned to Liu Miao and said, "I have something urgent to do, let's go first, what's the matter next time."
As he said this, Liu Yang did not say a word more and hurried away with the Zaoli.
After seeing off his uncle, Liu Miao looked at Liu Gang with some confusion and asked, "I haven't discussed the truth with you for a few days. I didn't expect that your understanding of military tactics is so profound. It's really amazing. We have to compete again in the past two days."
"No, these are not my own abilities. I just wanted to tell my fourth uncle," Liu Gang laughed embarrassedly, "Actually, I saw Chen Zhi and Brother Chen Shi today, and I heard from him, learn and sell now."
"Chen Zhi?" Liu Miao was stunned when he heard this, "You went to visit him? So that's it. No wonder you went out today, but it's hard to explain to Peng Lin when doing this. We all agreed that we have to wait for the screening, depending on his ability..."
When Liu Gang heard this, he shook his head and said solemnly: "Brother, please advise me to tell my brothers Peng that you should not do this anymore. Brother Chen Shi is a person with real skills. It would be absolutely impossible to make friends with him early. Isn't this also my grandfather's request? He has experienced storms throughout his life and has seen people very accurately. Even he asked us to make friends as soon as possible. This is life experience, and we still have to listen to it."
When Liu Miao heard his brother say this, he couldn't help but pay attention to it. He knew his younger brother's ability, and he was a little better than himself in his judgment of many things. Even he valued it so much. It seemed that Chen Zhi was really capable.
"Since that's the case, you should contact us first, but you have to grasp the degree," Liu Miao gave a suggestion after thinking about it, "My brothers and I will wait and see for the time being. You also know that Peng Lin is still unwilling to accept it, but he has already given up on calligraphy. So he wanted to find the place in his studies, so he had a wait and see proposal. I can't let him not be able to get out of Taiwan. Anyway, there are not many days before screening, so what else can there be change? Don't worry."
"Okay." Liu Gang thought about it and thought it was this reason, so he stopped insisting. The two brothers then talked about some academic matters, and Liu Miao went to work on his own affairs.
Liu Gang thought about the fourth uncle just now and felt that if he learned military skills well, he would not only be used in military formations, but also have an impact on life.
"The key is that Brother Chen Shi said it clearly, so that people can understand it as soon as they hear it. Let's go to visit again tomorrow. There are still many things he hasn't explained clearly."
With this decision, Liu Gang couldn't help but look forward to it.
……………………
On the other hand, the Fourth Master of Liu's Mansion, who was leaving urgently, was rushing to the road while considering the issues of his juniors.
"Xiao Wu's understanding of military tactics has become more and more profound. I have to find a time to persuade his father. Although he has high hopes for Xiao Wu, he cannot give up the real benefits in front of him for an illusory goal. It is best for my position to be inherited by his own family. If Xiao Wu can have the ability in this area, he can give it a try."
As he thought about it, he arrived at the county government office. A clerk was waiting there. When he saw Liu Yang coming over, he came eagerly. Liu Yang immediately put away all kinds of thoughts and became sad again.
"I wonder how County Magistrate Yang deals with this matter, should he report it to the county center, or would he just stop here?"
Liu Yang followed the clerk to the yamen, but he repeatedly thought about the trouble this time.
"Wang Mi's affairs are not trivial. This man has no shortage of vision and means, and he knows how to seize the opportunity. At that time, the Jie bandits were in chaos, and Qingzhou troops headed north. Wang Mi seized Qingxu's opportunity to be empty in military forces to cause chaos. Although the chaos was finally calmed down, he could escape his life. Now he sent a meticulous worker to Pengcheng. It is hard to guarantee that he had the idea of robbery again."
At present, this matter is the most annoying thing for Liu Yang. Since the matter was posted, Liu Yang has been running up and down, and has lost a lot of his brains for this matter.
"Although Wang Mi was trapped in the mountains, he was said to have tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. Even if it was exaggerated, it was definitely not something that Pengcheng could deal with. The industries of several major families were in Pengcheng and could not escape. If he annoyed him by a meticulous act, it would be better to lose. But the spy could not ignore it. Otherwise, if someone would have heard of the news and let the court know, it would be a big crime. Therefore, Zhou Tian's decisive execution was not wrong. Although there were some flaws, the spy was just a slave after all, and he had excuses to make excuses."
Thinking of this, he came to the Houya, where three or two colleagues gathered here. The Yang County Magistrate Yang Yong sat in the innermost part, his face slightly gloomy.
As soon as he saw Liu Yang, he snorted.
Liu Yang understood and quickly bowed and said, "Shangguan, this time his subordinates failed to observe and did not even notice the thief's detailed work. I hope Shangguan will punish him."
"Just one of us, don't say that," Yang Yong waved his hand and called Liu Yang's words, "Look, you can't blame you this time. I also know that you are usually dedicated, but this matter is a bit arbitrary. The spy shouldn't have finished it hastily, but the matter has come to this point, and there is nothing to say. I'll suppress this matter first. I've asked the elders of the clan to help me. When the news of the capital comes, then act according to the situation."
After he said this, the few people present, including Liu Yang, breathed a sigh of relief. They also knew that the family behind the county magistrate was also somewhat energetic. They had handled this matter decisively, eliminating some future troubles. Although the county magistrate was blaming the "arbitrary", it was just a scene and could not be said to be killed, so the subsequent passage was the key.
After talking about the results of the handling, Yang Yong said again: "There is also that Zhou Tian. He handled this matter too roughly. I heard that the recent thief cases have not been handled well? This is not enough, so I have to urge you."
When Liu Yang and others heard this, they looked at each other and understood that they were going to remove Zhou Tian from their posts. They were all prepared for the excuses and took them down in a while with the unfavorable name of supervision.
Well, I decided to give it to you.
However, Liu Yang did not think there was anything wrong. Zhou Tian was just a tour in the next village, and someone had long taken a fancy to his position. He was in danger of being taken away. Now that he encountered this, everything would be natural.
Liu Yang thought for a while and asked again: "The spy has dealt with it, but what if the thieves attack? Do you want to notify the garrison?" Everyone present calmed down.
When it comes to war, they can't do it. Not to mention them, in the peaceful times, there were not many people in the county and the county. Did they run south without seeing the governor?
Yang Yong pondered for a moment and said, "This is also the reason why I didn't suppress the news. However, Wang Mi is being chased and runs everywhere now, and it is unlikely that she will attack Pengcheng. As long as she clears the spies in the city, she will be worry-free."
Liu Yang immediately replied: "I'm remembering it, and now I will start to rectify the people and search the whole city!"
"Very good," Yang Yong nodded, and then changed his subject, "In addition, the Chen family has a responsibility for this matter. They do not find out the origin of the servants, and they do not know the identity. They dare to take it to the mansion? I remember that the Chen family is not in charge of the mine. If the mine is also infiltrated by thieves, it is not a joke. I see the matter of the mine. I can ask the Liu family to follow up and look up. What do you think?"
When Liu Yang and others heard this, they were stunned.
Is this going to hit the Chen family? Or is it a signal to other aristocratic families?
But after thinking about it carefully, they understood that they wanted to pull one person, beat the other, and pull the Liu family. They said that it was the matter of the mine and asked the Liu family to follow up. The one who beat the Chen family must be the Chen family. If your Liu family follows up, the Chen family will not be able to stand aside?
In theory, the matter in this mine is not small, and the official business of salt and iron is a national policy, but when it comes to local areas, we still have to rely on the power of aristocratic families. However, a county magistrate has little influence and a dedicated agency, but it cannot resist the unreliable situation of the governor. He led a group of people to the south. This will inevitably enhance the influence of the county magistrate in the mine. At least it can be done to compress the power of a certain family, let alone there are legitimate excuses.
only……
"Does the magistrate of Yang County want to seize the opportunity to expand authority? The Chen family has a momentum of decline, which is indeed a goal. But recently there is a good up-and-coming show, and my father is also optimistic. If I agree, it will inevitably affect the relationship between the two families. But if the fat meat delivered to the door is rejected, the clan must have an opinion."
After thinking about it, Liu Yang decided not to express his opinion, not to be responsible, or to confront him, and then said: "The Chen family actually made contributions to this matter. It was this spy discovered by Chen Zhi of the Chen family."
"I know this Chen Zhi," the county magistrate's expression remained unchanged. "The people below mentioned it, but what he did was not worthy." His attitude was neither soft nor hard, and it made people unable to understand his feelings. Liu Yang could only ignore it. As for the benefits of this mine?
Of course, you have to swallow it!
"Afterwards, if the Chen family asks questions, let Chen Chi come to Yang County Magistrate. Anyway, Chen Zhi will become a powerful force, and it will take some time. I don't know whether he can stop the Chen family's decline."
