Chapter 173 The new official takes office
At this time, Yang Yang was still very glad that he chose to visit Zhang Rang when he went to Luoyang. Although the eunuch had not had a good evaluation in history, this was a game and he was not considered a helping evildoer. As long as he could get benefits, he could still do more of such things.
In fact, Yang Yang didn't know that Zhang Rang, who was in Luoyang at this moment, was happier than Yang Yang.
Why? It's very simple. That's Yang Yang won a battle in Xuwen and suppressed the rebellion in Xuwen County. Although the Yellow Turban forces or rebel forces in Jiaozhou are relatively weak, they can be quelled if anyone comes. But the current situation is that the rebellion in Xuwen County was quelled by Yang Yang, and Zhang Rang wanted this result.
This result made Zhang Rang proud in the court. You know, even Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun were unable to win any battles. But Yang Yang fought for him with Zhang Rang because the position of Yangyang Baidi County Magistrate was recommended by him.
So Zhang Rang would definitely handle Yang Yang's small request. Isn't it just a county magistrate? Zhang Rang just said something a little, and Emperor Ling of Han appointed Chen Gong as the county magistrate of Xuwen County.
"Public Bureau, don't be too happy too early. I handed over Xuwen County to you because I believe you can take care of this place. Of course, I won't give you too much time. You must find an agent as soon as possible. It is impossible for you to stay in Xuwen County for a long time." Yang Yang smiled and said to Chen Gong.
He believed that with Chen Gong's intelligence and talent, he would definitely understand what he meant and could do this beautifully.
Chen Gong looked righteous and said, "Don't worry, lord, my subordinates understand."
"Okay, since that's the case, then Xuwen County will be left to you. I'll do something, and I hope you can control the entire Xuwen County smoothly. Don't be afraid, do whatever you want, and I'll carry everything for you." After that, Yang Yang patted Chen Gong on the shoulder and left.
Chen Gong did not immediately express his attitude. With his personality, he would only use results to prove his talents.
After Yang Yang left, Chen Gong immediately devoted himself to rectifying Xuwen County. In the past few days, he had already learned about some of the forces in Xuwen City. In addition to the previous county magistrate and county magistrate, there were several famous families in Xuwen City. It was said that they were famous families, but in fact there were one or two people in his family who served as small officials in other places in Hepu County.
But don’t underestimate these “famous families”, they are quite powerful in Xuwen City.
However, compared with the county magistrate and the county magistrate, they were still a little tender. However, the county magistrate and the county magistrate have been suppressed by Yang Yang. Especially the charge of "collusion with the rebellious party" has made the two of them feel uneasy at this moment.
Chen Gong is an extremely smart person. Even without the plan that Yang Yang had set before, I believe he could control the entire Xuwen very quickly. Now that Yang Yang had the prelude to it, things would be easier to handle.
Moreover, Chen Gong quickly thought of a way to shock the forces in the city, which was to use a move to "kill the chicken to warn the monkey".
With the imperial edict in hand and the seal of superiors in hand, Chen Gong successfully took over the seal of Xuwen County Magistrate. As the saying goes, the new official takes over three fires, Chen Gong must also burn three fires to completely control Xuwen County.
And he also firmly remembered Yang Yang's words: Don't be afraid, I will take care of everything for you.
Xuwen County is located in the southern wasteland of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Its agriculture was not very developed. Now that it is caused by rebels, ordinary people's lives are even more sad. In order to give ordinary people an explanation, Chen Gong directly issued an order, which is to reduce some heavy taxes and reduce the burden on ordinary people.
Of course, Chen Gong's order had no effect at all. If it were just this fire, it would definitely not be able to burn it. Chen Gong also knew very well that even if he gave such an order, the executors below might not have executed it like this.
So immediately afterwards, Chen Gong burned a second fire.
"Mr. Chen, what's the matter with you looking for the younger two? Don't worry, as long as it's your order, we will do our best to do our best."
When the county magistrate and the county magistrate were called to Chen Gong, the county magistrate looked flattering. Before this, the two always thought that the next one to ascend to the county magistrate would be one of them. But unexpectedly, they were snatched away by such an outsider. To be honest, they were still a little dissatisfied.
But now both of them are in Chen Gong's hands, so they can only flatter him as much as possible.
Chen Gong looked serious and did not show any smile: "I heard from the people on the street that you two were very close to the previous county magistrate and often accompanied him to meet mysterious guests. I wonder if they were going to meet the rebels together?"
"No, absolutely not. Sir, don't believe what those people say. They are talking nonsense."
"Yes, nonsense. Sir, we are loyal to the court, and our hearts towards the court can be seen by the sun and the moon!"
The two of them kept expressing their loyalty with each other, but Chen Gong's expression still did not change at all. The battle is just psychological warfare, otherwise how could he achieve the effect he wanted?
Seeing that Chen Gong still had no reaction at all, the two of them actually knelt down and shouted: "Sir, it's definitely wronged. We have never seen any rebellious party, and we have never colluded with rebellious party. Please give it a clarification!"
Seeing that the situation was almost done, Chen Gong snorted coldly, "Since you have not colluded with the rebellion, where did the money in your family come from? It was not given to you by the rebellion? Don't tell me that this was saved by you. I've calculated it for you. If you rely on the salary of the court, you will not be able to save so much money in your lifetime."
In order to clear themselves of the crime of "collusion into the rebellion", the county magistrate and the county magistrate immediately poured out the matter of how to accept bribes and how to plunder the people's fat and paste.
In this way, the two major cancers in Xuwen County were put into prison. They also involved several "famous families" in Xuwen City. Of course, in order to clear themselves of the charges, those famous families naturally shook their heads one by one to deny their relationship with the county magistrate and county magistrate.
Chen Gong naturally had the handle of these famous families.
Since then, the second fire in Chen Palace was burned out, and the effect was surprisingly good. Naturally, the administration of Xuwen County immediately improved, which made the first fire prosperous.
After burning the first two fires, Chen Gong also burned the third fire on the administration. In order to complete the tasks assigned by Yang Yang faster, Chen Gong cleared up a large number of inaction soldiers and promoted some young and promising officers and soldiers, and also selected two young and capable county magistrates and county magistrates.
