Chapter 26 The youngest governor in history (Part 2)

After arriving in Fanyang City, Yan Bin gave a memorial to Emperor Ling. In the memorial, Yan Bin first expressed his gratitude for Emperor Ling's extraordinary promotion and promised Emperor Ling that he would defend the northern border for the Han Dynasty. Then he made three requests to Emperor Ling: First, he hoped to transfer his father from Bajunping to Zhuo County and serve as the prefect of Zhuo County. Considering that Youzhou is close to the sea, in order to prevent the attacks of pirates and to form a siege and attack on Wuheng from the sea, he also asked the Bajun Navy of Ganning to Youzhou; Second, he asked his subordinates for official duties. He hoped that Emperor Ling would approve the appointment of Huang Zhong He was the prefect of the county, Wang Yue was the prefect of Yuyang, Gongsun Zan was the prefect of Shanggu, and after being dismissed from office, Gongsun Du, who lived at home, was the prefect of Liaodong, Guan Yu was the prefect of Youbeiping, Xu Huang was the prefect of Liaoxi, Zhao Yun was the prefect of Fanyang City, Zhang Fei was the captain of Sili, Wei Yan was the prefect of military affairs. Zhou Yu was appointed as the chief minister of the governor, Tian Feng was the prefect of Ju Su, and Tian Chou was the chief clerk. Third, Yan Bin was willing to transfer all the shares of royal furniture to Emperor Ling, but in order to give Youzhou the capital to further develop the economy, Emperor Ling was asked to exempt Youzhou from taxes for five years.

When Emperor Ling received Yan Bin's memorial, he felt that the first two were fine. Yan Yan was transferred from Ba County to Zhuo County, saying that it was a flat transfer, but from the wealthy Yizhou to the bitter and cold Youzhou, the treatment was actually reduced. The people appointed by Yan Bin, Zhou Yu was only 9 years old and Tian Chou was only 15 years old, which was a bit unreasonable. But when he thought about the 10-year-old Yan Bin could be the governor, so why can't he be the chief minister at the age of 9? Why can't he be the Gongcao at the age of 15? Just exempting Youzhou's 5-year taxes hurt a bit. Emperor Ling silently calculated in his heart. Next, Youzhou's taxes have always been second to last among the 13 states of the Han Dynasty, only a little more than Xiliang. Although Yan Bin's 30% of the income of royal furniture is not as good as that of Youzhou's taxes, Youzhou's taxes have always been relatively fixed, and the income of the royal furniture business is rising steadily. Therefore, in the long run, he should not suffer too much. Besides, Yan Bin did not put the taxes into his own pocket, but used it for the development of Youzhou, which is equivalent to using his own money to develop the Youzhou economy. When he thinks of this, Emperor Ling will be psychologically balanced.

Luoyang Ling Zhou Yi was mixed with joy and sorrow. The happy thing was that his son was only 9 years old and became the chief minister of a state. I am afraid that except Yan Bin and Gan Luo in the history of the Qin Dynasty, there was no precedent for him to be such a big official at a young age. It seems that the choice to let his son follow Yan Bin was correct. The worried thing was that his son had been away from home for a year, and now he has the responsibility to be an official, and it is even more distant to meet his father and son.

Yan Bin received the imperial edict from Emperor Ling again, and all of the imperial edicts agreed to Yan Bin's request. He also generously said that Yan Bin himself will decide the personnel appointments for Youzhou in the future, and it is enough to report them to the court. However, in the end, he repeatedly warned Yan Bin that the tax in Youzhou could only be exempted for 5 years, and it would not be enough for one more day. Yan Bin secretly laughed in his heart that the world was in chaos and the heroes were in power. I would pay it to the truth.

After a series of appointments were issued, all the subordinates who followed Yan Bin were cheering and excited. Even Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Du and Tianchou, who did not know Yan Bin, were grateful for Yan Bin's extraordinary promotion. At this time, Yan Bin felt that there were too few civil servants under him and could only let the generals act as prefect. So he sent people to Yingchuan to visit Xu Shu and Guo Jia, and told the sent people that if Xu Shu was not at home, he would politely invite Xu Shu's mother to Youzhou.

Then he sent someone to Wuwei of Xiliang to hand over the letter he wrote to Jia Xu. In the letter, Yan Bin told Jia Xu that he had heard of his early cheating of barbarians to save his life and knew his talents. So instead of being an unsatisfactory official in Xiliang, he would come to Youzhou to make great achievements.

Two months later, Yan Bin's subordinates invited Xu Shu, Guo Jia and their family to Youzhou. Yan Bin immediately appointed 16-year-old Xu Shu and 14-year-old Guo Jia as military advisors without saying a word. As a result, everyone in the world laughed at the underage Youzhou governor, all the subordinates were minors. After receiving the two of them, Yan Bin called Guo Jia alone, took the pulse for Guo Jia, prescribed medicine, and taught the Five Animal Show to Guo Jia for him to practice every day.

Three months later, Jia Xu also brought his family to Youzhou. Yan Bin appointed Jia Xu as the post of Zhizhong and allocated him a lot of money to set up an intelligence network.
