Chapter 89 Another intern?
end of August.

Yang Lin and his twelve companions returned to Wushang County with good news.

At this time, Sheng Xian was still on his way to Wujun, and Zhang Tie, the eunuch who came to deliver the message, was also on his way.

Jin Mao and Xi Zhicai had just come up with a complete plan to capture Yuzhang County without revealing their true intentions.

"what?"

"Is there unrest in Yuzhang County? The government troops were defeated? Did Pan Lin and his men do it?"

The series of news confused Jin Mao and the other man.

So all the time they put so much thought into planning, and cheering for the brilliant ideas every day, was in vain?

It was Xi Zhicai who reacted quickly: "Congratulations, my lord! Yuzhang County is within our grasp. You should think about who would be the best person to take the position."

Due to the lack of information, Jin Mao thought that the position of Wujun prefect was already in his pocket, and he could not let Yuzhang County go even if it was backward.

Want them all!
"Alas, it would be great if Wen Ruo was here." Jin Mao Faner track: "When the time comes, Zhicai will go to Yuzhang County to take up the post of prefect, and let Wen Ruo help you."

“Hehe!” Xi Zhicai was excited just thinking about it. He then reacted with his eyes wide open, pointed at himself, and spoke incoherently: “I’m going to Yuzhang County… to serve as… as the prefect.”

"Haha." Jin Mao patted Xi Zhicai on the shoulder and asked, "How is it? Have you ever thought about it?"

"This...I..." Xi Zhicai spoke incoherently.

"Hahahaha!"

Jin Mao held his stomach and laughed: "Zhi Cai, you were so cute just now!"

"So, there is something that you are interested in?"

Xi Zhicai was still unable to react and said with a sad face: "My Lord, this joke is not funny at all."

"Don't underestimate yourself." Jin Mao put his arm around Xi Zhicai's shoulders and said, "As long as I get promoted, I promise that the post of Governor of Wu County will be yours!"

Xi Zhicai smiled happily and said shamelessly: "My lord, I want to be the governor of Yingchuan County!"

"Go, go, go! Just having sweet dreams every day."

In fact, it is easy to understand. Now Jinmao has implemented a performance appraisal system. Even if all the channels above are opened up, it does not mean that anyone can be appointed as the prefect.

Instead, we nominate whoever has the highest and greatest achievements.

As for being unable to govern a county, then just transfer a talented person to assist. Being able to use people is also an achievement.

Back to the topic.

Now Pan Lin has finished the work. He only needs to make minor adjustments and wait for Zhang Gong to send people. In one go, Yuzhang County will be in his hands.

On the contrary, the matter of Gong Lei and Lan Zhi filing a complaint against Pan Lin needs to be handled appropriately.

Pan Lin’s methods were indeed a bit crude, but this was also the essence of the trick that no one could see.

But if we don't punish them, the people below will follow suit and that will cause a big mess.

"Gong is merit, fault is fault."

Jin Mao remembered the lines in a Chinese drama: "Rewards should be given for merit, and punishments should be given for faults!"

"Order Pan Lin! All his previous achievements will be cancelled and reset to zero. Order him to make up for his crime and make up for his crime."

"Remember them all!"

"If you have the means, use them to deal with those powerful families who are causing trouble in the village, and don't target the good people!"

Xi Zhicai made a timely comment: "My Lord, what is a good person?"

Facing everyone's gaze, Jin Mao thought a lot.

After all, this era is different from later generations. We cannot copy everything. We must make some changes.

"The good people I'm talking about are those who agree with and abide by the system we have established."

Jinmao Baba said a lot.

To sum up, I don’t care what you did in the past, but you have to listen to me when you are under my command in the future.

If you don't listen, no matter who you are, you'll be in trouble!

Of course, there is no need to distinguish those who are recognized as unforgivable criminals, and they can be executed on the spot.

Those who opposed Jinmao and refused to repent would also be killed, as would those who enjoyed killing the people.

"That's all I can think of for now, I'll add more later."

Jin Mao's words made everyone present break out in cold sweats.

It’s not that they are worried about their own situation, but that Jinmao’s fearless attitude completely subverts the three views of contemporary people.

Among them, Xi Zhicai felt it particularly strongly and was looking forward to the future more and more.

Lunch is over.

Jin Mao came to the recruit camp to inspect the work.

It took half a month to recruit four thousand new soldiers.

It’s not that everyone has lost their enthusiasm for joining the army, but rather that the enthusiasm is so high that the work that was originally completed in a day or two has been stretched to half a month.

Because all the young and strong people in the six southern counties of Kuaiji County wanted to participate in the selection, even people from the six northern counties came to participate, not to mention the Baiyue.

It took more than ten days to wait for the people to participate in the selection, and the selection process took three days. In the end, 4,000 were selected from more than 30,000 young and strong men, including less than 1,000 Baiyue people and more than 3,000 Han people, whose physical fitness was much better than the previous batch.

In order to ensure that others do not come in vain, Jinmao asked people to register everyone's information and give priority to those who come to join the army next time.

Many of the first batch of people did not know where to go, so Jinmao learned from the lesson and recruited soldiers like modern people, assigning each person to a pavilion or a place.

If it is Baiyue, one must live under Jinmao’s jurisdiction for half a year before being selected, and later it will be postponed to one year or even longer.

These are all necessary things to build an army.

Therefore, it is normal for these 4,000 people to have a fast training progress.

In just over a month, some outstanding soldiers have entered the physical training phase, and some have even entered the weight training stage.

It is worth mentioning that Jinmao feels that since each team has different treatment, the recruit camp should also be graded in order to cultivate enthusiasm.

Each training stage is different. The treatment is the worst during the standing posture and learning commands stage. The physical training is one level higher, and the weight training is two levels higher, which is comparable to the daily treatment of the second team.

He Qi, Ling Cao and other older soldiers are not included in the 4,000 people. They are already in the stage of weight-bearing training, and it is only a matter of time before they stand out.

During break.

Jin Mao called He Qi and others and asked, "You have trained hard, but have you ever complained that I treated you unfairly?"

More than three hundred people looked at He Qi.

During this period, He Qi selflessly shared his training experience, ensuring that no one fell behind in training. He gained recognition from everyone and had a high prestige among the three hundred people.

"My lord, we are not without resentment." He Qi's answer was very clever: "I am not blaming you, my lord, but blaming myself for not knowing the seriousness of the matter and making a big mistake."

When Jin Mao heard this, he couldn't help but look up to He Qi, thinking he was a veteran in the officialdom.

However, I like the capable and experienced ones the most.

With a larger territory coming soon, Jinmao decided to strengthen He Qi and others.

"I am pleased that you have recognized the problem and have decided to let you take on more responsibilities."

He Qi has been waiting for this moment for a long time: "I am willing to serve my lord!"

"Look at how hard the other veterans are training. Why don't you train the new recruits and give them some strength?"

"He Qi, Ling Cao, Yang Lin, Huang Xing, the four of you will lead four teams of veterans respectively and train 1,200 new soldiers."

"In the next month's election, the winner's merits will be restored and he will be credited with another achievement!"

Jin Mao added: "If the former veteran wins, he will be credited with another achievement, adding to his achievements!"

"We are willing to fight to the death for our lord!" All the veterans were excited.

Jin Mao was very satisfied. In this way, he would be able to take the new recruits out for actual combat training in a short period of time.

September.

News from all sides reached Kuaiji County, both good and bad.

"Sheng Xian became the governor of Wu County?"

Jin Mao felt that the news was neither good nor bad. The two of them did not have any enmity, at most there was a little conflict.

"The governor of Yuzhang was dismissed."

as expected.

Finally, Zhang Tie, the eunuch, brought some news that was neither good nor bad.

"Replacing the governor of Yuzhang County?"

Why is he an intern again? Can't he just become a regular employee?
Zhang Tie explained the reason and comforted him: "Jun Shou, don't worry. Wait a year or two, and when the rumors have died down, the country will be able to make you a regular official."

He didn't care whether he was promoted or not. Jin Mao cared about another thing: "I just paid tribute once. Why do I have to pay tribute again?"

"Don't you want to serve your country?"

Zhang Tie said coldly, "Captain Jin, please don't forget how you got here."

What a great phrase "serve the country"! Jin Mao almost thought he was dreaming of returning to the modern era.

"The Yellow Gate Commander calms down."

Jinmao smiled apologetically and gave away another two thousand barrels of oil.

From March to now, nearly 10,000 barrels of oil have been used up, and Jinmao can no longer withstand such a high level of consumption.

"We must quickly occupy Yuzhang County and cultivate the land."

This year's early rice yield per mu has dropped below three stones, and it can be predicted that the harvests of late rice and autumn crops will not be high.

The occurrence of this situation indicates that the soil fertility has been greatly lost. If you want to have a virtuous cycle, you have to take a year off before planting again.

In that case, new land will be needed next year for more than 20,000 households in Wushang and Taimo counties to farm.

The year after next, the other four counties in the south will also have to take a year off, which will affect more than 20,000 households.

Next are the more than 40,000 households in the northern five counties.

A long way to go.
