The scene that happened in front of the city gate was finally spread, but with Chen Zhi's warning, the witnesses did not dare to blatantly, so the few people who knew about it, most of them were local gentry.

These gentry had complex connections, and it was difficult for them to keep secrets between them.

Especially the Zheng family suddenly called all the children of Dai County home and stayed away, which made the families of Dai County smell an unusual smell. After learning what Zheng Shi did, these people had no idea of ​​making a move.

Except for the aristocratic families, most of the officials and many officials and clerks did not receive any news. Therefore, when they heard the news that General Wang Jun specially sent someone to commend Chen Zhi the next day, they were all stunned.

"... Chen Zhi, the prefect of the county, made great contributions to defeating the enemy, demonstrated the majesty of the court, and destroyed the arrogance of the Huns. I was very pleased. Therefore, I commended him for a reward, and gave him a good gift to Chen Bo and a commend the court to ask for your merits!"

Wu Jie stood in the court, holding Wang Jun's letter in his hand, and said something that was specifically marked in the letter and wanted to read Chen Zhi in public. These words surprised everyone who was unaware of the matter. They thought that the general would really win people's hearts. As soon as the Huns went there, they sent someone to commend them.

Liu Bao, Geng Qing and others, observed the situation quietly and thought about the meaning behind it. As a family in-laws, they had not received news from the Zheng family, so they couldn't help but think more. However, as Lu Shuo said, people who knew what happened outside the city gate yesterday did not speak, let alone explain it.

"Look at these one by one, they all showed such expressions," Yang Song stood behind, listing with Chen Zi, Su Liao and others. "Did they not see how hasty this letter was written? Just talking about the rewards, but they didn't even explain the specific amount clearly. They were obviously still considering it. They were afraid that they would suffer losses if they were too much, and they would be disappointed if they were less. However, because of the tight time, they had to send the letter first."

Yang Song and others were subordinates of Chen Zhi. Although they did not have official positions, they already had titles. They were all Sima and chief clerk under the command of Chen Zhi, the general of the North. If they were willing, as long as Chen Zhi made a memorial, they would be recognized. However, as a subordinate of the shogunate, their salary was not paid by the court, and Chen Zhi had to solve it himself. Therefore, the best choice was that they also found a position in the government, and they had both names and realities.

However, although there is no official position yet, the Dai County is very clear about their status and does not prevent them from entering the court to watch under the name of General Zhengbei.

Yang Song attended the meeting. As soon as he heard it, he heard the tricks in the letter and couldn't help laughing. He did not follow Chen Zhi out for inspection yesterday, but learned about military affairs in the city. However, he also listened to Chen Zi's narration afterwards. He had a clear idea and saw more than others.

"At this time, don't undermine the situation," Chen Zi whispered, "From the situation in front of you, the general still wants to get along with the prefect. At least on the surface, he has to create such an atmosphere. I don't know how long it will last, but if it can be used well, it will be enough for the prefect to gain a foothold here."

Yang Song said in surprise: "What you mean is that you are planning to break up with that general in the future? The prefect is just doing politics, and it may not be possible to offend him. I think this time it will be great. The prefect has made meritorious service and General Wang rewards him. If you report to the court like this, everyone will be happy. How can there be any conflict?"

Chen Zi didn't say anything, but Su Liao replied: "Sometimes, if you don't surrender, you will offend others. But you also know the relationship between General Wang's actions. How can the Lord surrender easily? This is a difficult knot. You can see when it will explode. At the beginning, the other side must still try to win over the prefect. This is a period of harmony. What the Lord wants to do is to establish a firm foothold during this period."

Yang Song frowned when he heard this, and finally shook his head and said, "This relationship, that relationship is really complicated. I don't think about it anymore. I'd better think about my military affairs. I learned about Dai County's military affairs yesterday and I will report to the prefect later."

On the other hand, Chen Zhizheng thanked Wu Jie. This thanks was not actually for Wu Jie, but for Wang Jun behind him, allowing him to metabolize.

"The prefect doesn't have to be so polite. I'm too reckless this time. In fact, I'm very ashamed of being entrusted by the general. However, the general also said in the letter that as long as the prefect doesn't blame him, he won't blame me." Wu Jie still looked ashamed.

Chen Zhi smiled and said, "Wu Sima Yan is serious. Now the business is over. I will set up a banquet in the tavern in the city. I will invite you at noon and look at you and look at you." As he said, he changed his mind, "I am in the court and say these are a bit inappropriate. I'd better wait for you and I to talk about them again at noon. Then there will be Tuoba brothers from the Xianbei side."

After saying this, Wu Jie didn't give him a chance to refuse.

Wu Jie had made a mistake, but he looked as usual on the surface, but he was actually uncomfortable standing in the hall and was embarrassed. However, Chen Zhi said it was difficult to refuse, so he could only say with the flow: "That's exactly what I want, I'm just trying to meet the Xianbei warriors!"

But he felt more and more uncomfortable. The more he wanted to be low-key, the more he was pushed to the front. Things went against his wishes. Looking at Chen Zhi's smiling face, he thought to himself: "I don't know how to flatter Chen Zhi's arrangements, but he was used to being noble at first glance. Eighty-most of them do not know how to govern. No matter how powerful the means of scheming are, they cannot be used when governing counties. Let's see how you govern! This matter should be reported to the general. If the county government is in chaos, it will be easy to intervene quickly and turn Chen Zhi into a puppet."

"I believe they are happy to see Wu Sima." Chen Zhi nodded, followed by someone to arrange for Wu Jie and others to rest. Then his eyes turned and swept across the faces of everyone in the hall.

County Chief Liu Bao and others rushed forward to report on the situation in the past two days.

Actually, there is nothing to say. I just experienced the shock of the Huns, and the various yamen are still in the recovery stage and the normal work has not been carried out. How can I report it?

Besides, when Chen Zhixin took office, he was still familiar with him. These subordinate yamen simply talk about the affairs of their respective yamen, so that Chen Zhi knew their general functions, which was somewhat considered showing off.

In addition to Liu Bao and others, other officials from the yamen also came forward to briefly introduce the situation in their yamen and hoped that Chen Zhi would give instructions.

Of course, Chen Zhi had nothing to explain, but just encouraged him to write down the names of these officials one by one.

As the head of a county, the prefect needs to manage the places in all aspects. There are a lot of officials under his command, but generally they tend to be government affairs and do not engage in military affairs. In terms of government affairs, they particularly emphasize encouragement of agriculture and education. One is the basis of local stability, and the other is related to famous and educational affairs and is valued by the scholars. Therefore, there are particularly many officials in these two parts, and they also talk about them, which are complex and trivial.

But no matter what they said, Chen Zhi listened as usual. Sometimes he could ask one or two important questions, or simply give one or two useful comments. The officials who reported did not say it on the surface, but were amazed in their hearts.

However, for Chen Zhi, he could not get the most accurate information from these officials, because this group of people is a typical example of reporting good news but not bad news.

But he also knew very well that this was the first time he had been involved in government affairs. It was difficult to do it too aggressively, giving people the impression that he had to intervene in all parties. Otherwise, it would inevitably make people feel resistant. When he really wanted to intervene, it would increase the difficulty in vain, or it would prompt all parties in the officialdom to resist together.

In this way, Chen Zhi asked and the officials answered. The questions and answers lasted for more than an hour before they asked them one by one. Then he asked the officials to retreat and return to the officials' office to handle government affairs without having to gather here.

"I am a new official and I am not very familiar with all parties. I will inevitably have omissions after that. I need more help from you."

"Where are the prefects, the scholars and geniuses, and their talents are passed down from generation to generation. We know deeply. It is too late to ask you for advice. We should assist you with all our hearts." After the officials saluted, they said half-polite and half-true words. Chen Zhi's few questions and comments just now gave them a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg. Only then did they remember that this new prefect has a great reputation among Luoyang City and the outside tribes of the Sakura, otherwise they would not have been frivolous.

After the greeting, everyone retreated, but when they left, a question arose in their hearts.

Where did the Duwei Zheng Shi go?

In today's court, Chen Zhi was rewarded and then met with officials. It was the beginning of his rule. However, from the beginning to the end, the Duwei Zheng Shi did not show up. Although there were other central troops and stationed troops in Dai County, the troops under the Duwei should not be ignored. They were the first few people in the county. It was no matter how bad it was.

What's even more strange is that Chen Zhi ignored this.

Those who are sensitive to the situation vaguely realize that Zheng Shi's absence may be related to Chen Zhi, but not many people know the specific reasons. The few who know the inside story are as tight as they are, and each has their own plans.

Liu Bao and others even shook their eyes in a dim manner, obviously looking for an opportunity to discuss the Zheng family's issues and unify their opinions.

In this slightly strange atmosphere, the officials dispersed.

Yang Song, Chen Zi, Su Liao, along with Shu Jiao, Zhang Kang, Bao Jingyan and others, stayed. Chen Zhi nodded to the few people, then left the main hall, came to the back hall, and sat down in the main and second place.

"You have seen all the situation, let me tell you what you think." Chen Zhi glanced at everyone. Before today's meeting, they had a consensus. After a general understanding of the situation, they would discuss the situation in Dai County. Wu Jie happened to come forward and quickly stabilize the situation through his temporary good relationship with Wang Jun. Maybe he could get some benefits from the governor's office. It was the time when he worked together to come up with a strategy.

"Prince, I think you were too restrained just now," Yang Song was not polite, the first to express his opinion, "The words of those officials were full of incompleteness, and they were vague and there was something obvious. Why not take the opportunity to intervene and take the power of the various yamen as a means of taking over the power of the various yamen. In this way, it will take no time to seize the power of the superiors and subordinates of Dai County and operate it into an iron bucket."

As he said that, he became excited and looked eager to try.

This land will be where these people will use their strengths!
Chapter completed!
