Chapter 202 You have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder
Mao Ba Nian ran to the front and said breathlessly: "Young Master, more than 70% of the officials in six counties and fifty counties submitted their resignation at the same time, saying that they would retire and return home."
Cao Ang's face instantly became extremely wonderful! Retirement and return home?
Fortunately, they thought about it. None of the officials in Xuzhou are older than fifty years old. They are young and strong, and they are thinking about retirement?
This is to give me a warning.
Mao Ba Nian ran all the way, and after standing still, he was panting so anxiously.
Cao Ang looked sad and comforted him: "It's not a problem, aren't there any more than 30% of the time?"
Mao Banian smiled bitterly and said, "The remaining 30% of the resignation letters are too lazy to write, so he just hangs the seal and runs away."
Cao Ang: "..." Hundreds of officials from six counties gave up at the same time, obviously there was a premeditation, but who was the organizer, and what was the purpose of doing this?
"Return to Xia Pi."
Cao Ang left the barracks with a gloomy face.
At this time, the city gate had already been locked, but the curfew was useless to Cao Ang. The guard opened the city gate and respectfully invited him in.
After returning to the governor's mansion, he immediately called the six ministries to the conference room and went straight to the topic and said, "Do you all know the situation?"
Everyone nodded, and Chen Gong took the lead and said, "Young master, snakes cannot fly without heads, birds cannot fly without heads, officials in a state resign at the same time, and there must be a leading figure among them. Who will this person be?
What is his purpose in doing this?"
Everyone looked at Mao Ba Nian.
Only he can give this answer.
Mao Banian smiled bitterly and said, "The incident happened too hastily. Jinyiwei did not receive any information in advance."
Everyone sighed at the same time, showing regret.
Cao Ang said: "Now is not the time to get to the bottom of the matter. What should I do first?"
Sima Yi thought for a moment and said, "Young Master, Sun Ce and Danyang Prefect Yuan Yin are fighting fiercely. He just signed a tea agreement with us. He should not cause trouble. Liu Bei defeated Yuan Shu and was busy digesting the territory and didn't care about us. If outsiders ruled it out, the problem could only occur to insiders."
"After Chen Gui and Tao Merchants died, the Xuzhou family could no longer find anyone who could take the lead. There was one who was not Xuzhou's head, and he had a bit of a holiday with the young master."
Cao Ang was stunned and asked tentatively: "Are you talking about Chen Ji's immortality?"
Looking at Xuzhou, only this great Honglu who has faced Dong Zhuo has such appeal.
Chen Gong is old and seeks stability in his work. He advised: "Young Master, Chen Ji will definitely have a purpose in doing this. We might as well talk to him."
"talk?
Is it necessary to talk?"
Pang Tong was more radical and said, "It is not difficult to guess the purpose of Old Man Chen. It is said that their father and son have been working on the ninth-grade Zhongzheng system recently. The young master built a school and provided free books and rice paper. Old Man Chen couldn't stand it."
Chen Gong was also angry about Chen Ji.
Guangjian College promotes the education of saints, which is a prosperous era that has been achieved through the ages. As a great master, Chen Ji would have no support, but he would have pulled his back?
But the moves they took were unsolvable.
Officials from six counties resign at the same time. What should we do if local government affairs are doing?
As soon as this question was raised, Pang Tong sneered: "It's as they wish. During this period, I found that many of the soldiers of the black-robed army knew the words and said, "I dare to ask the young master, how many of these people are in the army?"
Cao Ang said with a flash of inspiration: "Everyone can understand literacy. When the Black Robe Army first became an army, literacy was one of the training subjects. Those soldiers may not have a high level of knowledge. They still know the most basic thousands of Chinese characters."
“That’s right.”
Pang Tong said: "All the resignation letters of officials are agreed, and all vacant official positions will be topped by the Black Robe Army, and six counties and fifty counties will be enough to kill a battalion."
"Those officials didn't really want to resign. They would definitely hate us after being removed from office, but they hated Chen Ji even more. If Old Man Chen can't tell others about it, just wait for the bad luck."
"Of course, we cannot give up on this group of people. The business plan can be completed by them. Given the young master's reputation in Xuzhou, we can pay half or even 60 to 70% of their deposit to ensure that their transactions will not be compensated."
"People can lie, but they will never lie with real money. When these people taste the sweetness from the first project, their hearts will naturally be directed towards us. If we still want to be an official, can we deal with it at our discretion?"
"As for Chen Ji, he is the patriarch of the Chen family in Yingchuan, not the patriarch of the Chen family in Xuzhou. It is not his turn to talk about Xuzhou."
This trick is cruel! Chen Ji's biggest reliance is that Cao Ang has no officials under him, and hundreds of officials resign at the same time, so he will definitely compromise.
But what if there is?
Can an official who lost his official position hate him to death?
Everyone nodded and agreed. Cao Ang looked at Chen Gong and said, "What does Uncle Chen think?"
Chen Gong thought for a moment and said, "You can try it, Chen Ji can ignore it, but the aristocratic families and officials in Xuzhou must be comforted."
"Then do it!"
Cao Ang said: "Yang Xiu, you will go to the Black Robe Army to select people tomorrow. All you like will be transferred to civil servants and assigned to six counties. This time, it is not only the counties and counties. All the old township pavilion leaders Li Kui were replaced by me. The imperial power went to the countryside and started by myself."
Chen Gong said anxiously: "Young master, the old pavilion chief in the village has been a respected elder since ancient times, and all of them have changed to be inconsistent with the rules."
"rule!"
Cao Ang sneered: "Rules are used to break. No one did it before, it does not mean that they cannot do it in the future. Who knows whether those villagers are respected or local bullies?"
"Don't Chen Ji have a strong appeal? Then come on, see if those officials hate him or me?"
"Of course, everything needs to be famous. Just use tax exemption as an excuse to tell the people that they are not implementing the tax exemption policy properly. This reason should win over the support of some people."
Chen Gong thought for a while and said, "If this happens, at least two or three thousand people will be required. Half of the black-robed army was taken away by Cao Gong, and then the troops in the city will be insufficient."
Pang Tong said: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, aren't there 20,000 new troops outside the city? The young master has been living in the military camp recently. Who dares to run there to do it?"
"As long as the young master doesn't have any trouble, whoever eats the leopard dares to make trouble in the city."
"Stand for two months, and all the problems will be solved when the new army joins."
Seeing that no one objected, Cao Ang stood up and said, "Now I will assign tasks. Yang Xiu and Zhang Liao cooperated to draw soldiers from the black-robed army. No one is allowed to stop anyone who takes care of him."
"Sima Yi and Chen Lian contacted the major families and took out the project to stabilize the family's heart. It doesn't matter if you pay first."
"Next, it depends on how Old Man Chen takes action."
Chen Lian said worriedly: "Young master, pay first. This does not comply with the project construction regulations. What if they take the money and turn around and make a tofu shit?"
Cao Ang sneered: "If you can run away, you can't run away. Monks can't run away. They are locals. If you do something bad, you don't have to do it. The people's spits can beat them to death."
"Besides, I'm not giving it to you. You have to bet 20% or 30%. I don't believe that they don't want it after the project is completed."
"Of course, this is just a stopgap measure. After passing this hurdle, it will be implemented according to the project construction regulations."
Chapter completed!
