God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Du He laughed and said: "With the talent of Mr. Xu, to be a small county magistrate, but I have wronged you."

Xu Zhiyuan immediately understood Du He's subtext: "Little brother, work hard, I won't treat you badly."

He immediately bowed and said, "It all depends on the son-in-law's cultivation!"

Du He stood up, patted his sleeves, and said: "Everyone, it's rare to get together today. I'm the host, and we'll stay here in the county government office. How about getting drunk?"

"Great!"

"Your Majesty has long admired the culinary skills of the son-in-law, and it is an honor to be able to try it myself today."

Everyone is very happy.

……

Jingzhao House.

government office.

An official rushed in and sent an official document to Liu Wentong who was tasting tea, and said, "My lord, this is an official document sent by Wannian County. Please read it. The next official has already read it. Just now, Wannian County Magistrate Du He convened the county magistrates of the eleven counties of Jingzhao Prefecture and signed the ten-county alliance, the details are in this official document!"

Swish.

Liu Wentong stood up at once, picked up the official document, and read it carefully.

With the experience of being tricked by the three-county alliance last time, he dared not stop watching it this time.

The ten-county alliance is actually an alliance of twelve counties.

Once the ten-county alliance is really established, it means that the commercial taxation and public security of the twelve counties will be bundled together, and all will be under the jurisdiction of Wannian County.

But Jingzhao Prefecture only has 22 counties.

Du He is now in charge of twelve counties, isn't he more powerful than me, the prefect of Jingzhao?

However, it is impossible to object.

Liu Wentong thought for a while and said, "This is a big matter, I should go to Wannian County in person and discuss it with County Magistrate Du."

The official looked strange, pointed to the end of the official document, and said, "My lord, look at the end."

……

Chapter 1203 lack of talent

Liu Wentong heard the words, and then looked at the end of the official document.

Upon closer inspection, his complexion changed drastically.

This official document is different from the previous official documents. This is an official notice, that is to say, this official document is to establish a ten-county alliance, but it is not a request for Jingzhao government's approval.

It's about knowing.

That is to say: Brother Liu Wentong, we have established a ten-county alliance. I'm sorry, but you were not present. Let me inform you now.

The corner of Liu Wentong's mouth said bitterly: "Magistrate Du must have guessed that I would be scruples about this matter, so he made this... Sigh."

The official asked: "My lord, Wannian County is so unruly, shall we reprimand them? Or should we report this matter to the court?"

Ok?

Liu Wentong turned around sharply, stared at the official, and said coldly: "What to do, I have my own discretion. When is it your turn to tell me what to do, get out!"

The official was scolded and left in a daze.

……

The next day.

The announcement of the establishment of the Ten-County Alliance was posted in twelve counties including Wannian, Chang'an, and Hu County.

The world knows.

Previously, the three-county alliance was established. Although the scene was not small, it was by no means as big as this time.

After all, Wannian County and Chang'an County both belong to Chang'an City, and Hu County has already been integrated into Chang'an City because of Anhu Avenue and Dream Group.

Now, it is twelve counties that form an alliance.

Someone was surprised.

Someone is curious.

Someone is angry.

Everyone's reaction is different.

Officials in the DPRK and China are surprisingly unanimous in their opposition.

The reason is also very simple. Du He formed the ten-county alliance privately and became the leader of the alliance. This move is tantamount to treason.

However, no one jumped out to impeach Duhe.

Many people who are planning to impeach Duhe are quietly gathering preparations.

With the lessons learned from the previous censors Wu Ping and Zhang Li, the ministers who want to impeach Du He have become more and more cautious.

The ten-county alliance's policy was implemented very quickly.

First of all, the Guancheng Brigade began to expand. Under the guidance of Li Ke, Qin Huaiyu directly recruited a group of government servants with good physical fitness from various counties, filled them into the Guancheng Brigade, and disrupted the personnel. After ten days of training , Divide the Guancheng Brigade into fifteen squadrons, stationed in each county respectively, the remaining three squadrons are all elite soldiers, one stationed in Chang'an City, two in Huxian County, used for mobility, logistics, training, etc. wait.

The Bureau of Taxation also established twelve branches, which began to work in various county governments.

But Dai Jinyun encountered a problem: lack of personnel.

In this era, there is no shortage of young men with brute force, so there is no shortage of people in the Guancheng Brigade.

But what is most lacking is people who can read and write.

Regardless of the fact that Datang has entered a prosperous stage.

But even in Gyeonggi counties like Hu County, there are many places where it is difficult to find a scholar even if you travel dozens of miles around.

Therefore, the tax bureau is short of people.

Where are the readers?

Looking at the entire Chang'an City, the places where scholars gather are the Imperial College in Qujiangchi and the Banshan Academy on the edge of the Bahe River.
