Chapter 101
He Jin stood in the cold wind for a long time before returning to the general's mansion and immediately looking for He Miao.
In fact, He Miao and Empress He in the palace have the same mother, but he and He Jin have different fathers and mothers.
But after his mother remarried, he changed his surname to He, so he was much more trustworthy than outsiders.
He Jin said, "I have something to say to you."
Seeing that he had dismissed his left and right friends before speaking, He Miao had a hunch that what he was going to say was definitely not a simple matter.
As expected, He Jin said with a sullen face, "Dou Youping was listed among the "Three Lords", was appointed as a general, and was well-known for his scholarship and virtue. Yet, he was beheaded in Luoyang Duting. What do you think of us?"
Dou Youping is Dou Wu, the General Dou who died nineteen years ago when the news of the extermination of eunuchs was exposed.
He Miao was stunned when he heard this question. What do they have?
Anyway, they did not have an elder who was the Grand Marshal like Dou Wu, and a like-minded partner Chen Fan.
In the court, even Lu Zhi, whose military power had been withdrawn by Liu Hong, could point at his nose and say, "Using three thousand men to fight a rebel army of one thousand is no different from using an iron axe to chop wood. What is there to brag about?"
He Miao was feeling depressed when he heard He Jin continue to speak: "Whether we can be in a high position or not, it all comes down to a word from your majesty."
He Miao was startled, and quickly looked around to make sure that the window and door were closed tightly. Then he whispered to He Jin, "Don't say that casually."
"What's the point of you being on guard now?" He Jin looked at He Miao's action coldly and said, "Once Prince Xie ascends the throne, promoting Dong Chong to the position of General of Cavalry now is just the beginning. Don't forget that there is still a grudge between our He family and Prince Xie for killing my mother. For Your Majesty, it's just using a relative anyway, so what's the difference between using He and Dong?"
He Miao felt that He Jin was not in the right mood at the moment, so he could only advise him: "Brother, why are you so pessimistic? Don't forget that Prince Bian is still the eldest son. Your Majesty's health has been getting worse recently. If something happens, the Queen Mother is your sister, and the Queen Mother's authority is enough to ensure that her nephew will succeed to the throne."
"Do you think I'm joking?" He Jin couldn't stand his brother's hesitation at this moment, so he slammed the table and stood up. "The first to strike is the knife, the last to strike is the fish, this is our current situation. If you still don't understand His Majesty's mind, go back and kill pigs."
These words really hurt my heart.
He Miao replied hesitantly, "Whatever Big Brother says is fine."
"Well, let me ask you a question," He Jin stepped forward and stared into He Miao's eyes. "If I want to try to cut off your Majesty's support now to ensure that Prince Bian ascends the throne smoothly, will you help me?"
He Miao didn't have much brains, but when he heard the words "ensure Liu Bian ascends the throne", he nodded vigorously and replied: "Brother has said something, I will follow and do it."
He Jin was satisfied.
Although Qiao Yan guessed that her plan in Luoyang would definitely cause He Jin and others to feel a sense of crisis, she didn't know that the reckless He Jin had already been planning such a "big thing" at this time.
To attack the wings of the current emperor, when Liu Hong still holds the real power, I can't suppress my suicidal desire.
But this obviously has nothing to do with her, who is "far away" in Bingzhou. She is still busy fooling the system.
[Bingzhou Mu!] How did you become the governor of Bingzhou? Are you acting like a counselor? You even poached Jia Xu! 】The system accused righteously.
If Qiao Yan heard correctly, it seemed that, perhaps, there was a hint of grievance.
She flipped through the book in her hand and replied nonchalantly, "Liang Xi was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou as the Sima of the other department."1
[You are making friends with noble families and recruiting bandits in Bingzhou. This is wrong! 】
"After Liang Xi arrived in office, he used tricks to recruit people, summoned the wealthy and powerful to serve as his shogunate, and sent the strong and powerful to serve as his followers."2
[You also sent troops to attack the Huns!] 】
"Those who disobeyed my orders were conquered by the army, and thousands of heads were beheaded, and the Chanyu submitted to me."3
[You developed agriculture in Leping and created a lot of things! 】
"The people live in the fields and work hard to cultivate crops."4
[You, you, you arrived in the capital and won the championship in leading troops in fighting. 】
"I thought that what I had heard and understood was beyond the reach of the provincial governor."5
[……]The system is stuck.
Qiao Yan obviously didn't make any serious excuses for himself, but was reciting the biography of Liang Xi here, and it felt like he was choking.
Theoretically speaking, everything Qiao Yan did could indeed correspond one to one with Liang Xi, but that's not how it works!
What was Liang Xi's situation then, and what is her situation now?
The system feels that she cannot insult its IQ! This cannot be generalized.
Thinking so, after seeing her targeted remarks to shut it up, and then opening the character panel to confirm the gains from this trip to Luoyang, as a qualified and dedicated system, it still explained to the host with tears in its eyes.
[As you said before, judging from the perspective of the Han Dynasty, you gave the emperor a reason to weaken the aristocratic families and relatives; you re-established the Du Liao General, which was a great contribution to the Han Dynasty; Dong Min, Wang Kuang, Han Fu, and Ji Ling, who were defeated by his troops, can all be regarded as hostile forces under the current judgment. There are a total of 60 counselor points here. In addition, there is a special achievement called "Strike a Striking Against Well-Known Forces of Out-of-Laws", which also provides 30 strategist points. 】
60 points plus 30 points -
90 points! What a good bargain.
Her trip to Luoyang was not only a break-even, but also a huge profit.
Having said that, Qiao Yan still couldn't help feeling a little distressed. Why didn't the battle against the Huns count?
But think about it, this is considered "destroying" the friendship between the two forces without consulting the superiors. If we define it more strictly, it can even be considered as an attempt by a strategist to usurp power, so it is not surprising that it does not count.
Fortunately, when she gained the power of Bingzhou Mu and took charge of Bingzhou's military affairs, this kind of use of force became justifiable.
The system had no idea what dangerous operation Qiao Yan was thinking of at the moment. It just watched helplessly as she did something that made it vomit blood after her previous nonsense.
After receiving these 27 free attribute points and 9 skill points, she added 7 points to constitution, 9 points to martial arts, 10 points to luck, and as if just to show that she could still be considered a strategist, she put the last point into intelligence.
Then she allocated 3 points of these 9 skill points to the Incitement skill, which reached level 7, 1 point to archery, 2 points to horse riding, and finally left 3 points as the remaining points before leaving for Luoyang, probably in case of emergency.
So her character panel became——
[Name: Qiao Yan]
[Faction: Han (initial camp)]
[Occupation: Strategist (System Settings)]
[Age: 13 (years old)]
[Physique: 81 (100), Force: 70 (100), Intelligence: 81 (100), Luck: 75 (?)]
[Remaining points available for allocation: 0]
[Skills: History lv7, Eloquence lv7, Incitement lv7, Cultural Relics Appraisal lv4, Archery lv8, Horseback Riding lv8, Painting lv3, Calligraphy lv4, Field Archaeology lv5, Ancient Coins lv3...]
[Remaining allocable skill points: 3]
[Strategist Points: 230] (For every 10 Strategist Points you gain, you will automatically gain 3 attribute points and 1 skill point)
Looking at the scene in front of it, the system felt for a moment that it might need some psychological counseling.
There's something wrong with its host...
But one undeniable fact is that she is really improving her counselor points.
According to the system's almost zero novice experience and the host's progress control reference it had seen in the pre-release training course, the person who could achieve this data at this age and in this year of time travel is one in a million.
If you only look at the data, this state can really achieve the mission of being the world's number one strategist.
In particular, we have to take into account that Liu Hong is still the emperor and has not passed away, and has not officially entered the Three Kingdoms stage. Many achievements limited to the Three Kingdoms background have not yet been triggered.
From this perspective, this is actually an extremely good answer.
The system choked for a long time, and finally uttered a sentence: "Can we add a few more points of intelligence next time?" 】
This is the second best option.
But for Qiao Yan, she didn't think this number was necessary.
To control the target's mind when dealing with things and to plan strategies when facing problems requires not only simple and straightforward intelligence, but also the overall view of the situation and emotional intelligence when talking with others.
It's enough to have enough intelligence.
But the system still needs to be appeased a little, otherwise she will get angry and there will be no alarm clock.
As for the verbal agreement now, how to implement it later is another matter.
Qiao Yan thought about this and turned to the system and said, "Speaking of the experience you promised to give to the martial arts system, I have thought about it and I will write it to you after I return to Taiyuan. Next door to you... is there something like a farming system?"
[……?] 】The system blankly typed out a row of transparent question marks in front of Qiao Yan, clearly expressing its speechless emotions at the moment.
Qiao Yan didn't even blink, "Or a steelmaking system would work."
【No! There is no such thing! 】It expressed firm protest against its host's whims.
"That is to say, there is the one mentioned above," Qiao Yan caught the loophole in his words and said calmly, "You know, as a qualified strategist, it is very important to be able to develop enough food."
"For example, Mao Jie, Cao Cao's future subordinate, suggested rectifying agriculture. Zao Zhi proposed the idea of military farming, which led to the "Order to Establish Military Farms". Deng Ai started as a scholar of the Minister of Agriculture and wrote "On Crossing the Yellow River", which said that within six or seven years, 30 million hu of rice could be stored on the Huai River. With this as evidence, it would not be difficult to destroy Wu, and he was appreciated by Sima Yi."
"You say, can Mao Jie, Zao Zhi and Deng Ai be considered counselors?"
The system thought about it and decided that this was a natural calculation.
Although Deng Ai can be considered a famous general, he is a man of both civil and military talents, and it is no problem for him to be considered a half-strategist.
"So if you want to be the best strategist in the world, you should be better than these people, right?"
As for her statement at this time that she could defeat Deng Ai, who was not born for another ten years, Qiao Yan had no psychological burden anyway, so he just used it to convince the system.
She even added, "Come to think of it, this should be the teaching course that comes with your counselor system, right?"
The system would never admit that its inventory only contained classic tactical teaching cases and strategist dialogues, and that it did not have any means of improving crop planting or farming strategies. This was actually an extremely failed thing.
So it left Qiao Yan with a sentence "I'll go ask" and disappeared.
Qiao Yan couldn't help but laugh.
When Guo Jia met Qiao Yan at the Yellow River ferry outside Beimang, he saw her shaking the book in her hand and looking in a very good mood.
"Lord Qiao, are you thinking that now that your wish has been fulfilled, you can return home in glory?" Guo Jia joked after getting in the car.
Qiao Yan’s hometown naturally cannot be considered Bingzhou, but as she said to Liu Hong, since she was granted the title in Bingzhou and Qiao Xuan’s tomb is there, Leping should naturally be her hometown.
Her return with the title of Governor of Bingzhou was a glorious return.
But that was clearly not her intention.
"Not exactly." Qiao Yan shook his head.
Her joy at this moment was obviously not just because of the system's clear stupidity, but because before arriving at the Yellow River, she sat alone in the governor's carriage, listening to the sound of the carriage passing through the forests of Mangshan Mountain, and the sound of wheels and horse hooves. In a trance, the door connected the time of more than three years together, so that she felt a little emotional.
There were some things she was not comfortable mentioning to the system, and even before she was sure that the system could understand her thoughts, she could only think about it carefully.
She had no one else to talk to about all the twists and turns in her heart.
But looking back on it now, it is actually a pleasure.
When she had just woken up from the pile of corpses during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the desire to survive was of course the main concern. Fortunately, she was familiar with this period of history, so she did not have to work so hard to integrate into this era.
But what she thought at the beginning was that without achievements and reputation, in this era, the system's fantasy of relying on status to curry favor and become a counselor for a powerful party would never be feasible, so she had to prepare a series of retreat routes for herself and add layers of protection for herself.
She must have military achievements such as suppressing the Yellow Turban Rebellion in order to completely break the shackles of gender and age and live in this world in a decent enough way.
But what happened later?
Later, all the scenes she saw reminded her of one thing: this was not enough!
If the world cannot be cleared up as soon as possible, there will only be internal strife among the Han people, wasting manpower, leading to foreign invasions and rampant bandits. Even if she completes the task of becoming the world's number one strategist, she will not be able to survive in this era for long.
But at that time, she knew better that the weak had no capital to give too much extravagant sympathy, which was why she said such words to Xu Fu, and why she watched the remnants of the Yellow Turbans being incorporated into the border defense team.
What now?
Just as she told Lu Zhi, there are many such absurd and sad scenes among the people in this world. If capable people can do their best to preserve them, how can they not sit in a high position?
So when she initially accumulated her own strength through Leping, why couldn't she take on heavier responsibilities? Why couldn't he gather these talented people around him and form a force to fight against the Han Dynasty, which was already on its last legs?
Of course, before she shot the governor with an arrow, when she only kept her hands on the small piece of land in Leping, although she had shown signs of fighting, she still had a way out.
Judging from the struggles among heroes at the end of the Han Dynasty, even though Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu were separated by a feud over the murder of their sons, one could still be the king and the other the minister, let alone a situation like Qiao Yan.
But after she made such a decisive move, expressing her determination with the two words "Ye Shu" to win the impression of Liu Hong as a lone minister, the counselors under her command understood her reaction at this time better than outsiders, and made their own choices together -
Qiao Yan really had no chance to retreat.
But the strange thing is that after the result of this struggle was obtained and the position of Bingzhou Mu was settled, she did not feel any panic as if she was being forced to move forward with no way out. Instead, she felt more peaceful than ever before.
She said to Guo Jia, "I was just thinking that now that I am the governor of Bingzhou, it will be much easier for me to promote the officials in Leping."
This is a deal where everyone wins.
The governor's ceremonial procession marched along the road beside the Fen River.
In this cold winter season, there were not many people along the road. Moreover, because the Baibo bandits had been taken down the mountain, there was another group of people who might appear here that were missing, so Guo Jia laughed and said that this was no different from traveling at night in brocade clothes.
This remark was met with a roll of the eyes from Qiao Yan.
But there is still a difference.
Merchants would occasionally pass by on this winter's main trade route. Seeing this team that was completely different from the usual ones, they would stop and ask what was going on.
The soldiers who accompanied and escorted him were from the five schools of the Northern Army who had followed Qiao Yan to win the duel. They all had a certain amount of admiration for the nearly legendary Marquis of Leping.
Anyway, the centurions did not impose any restrictions on them, so the soldiers who were questioned did not hesitate to stop temporarily or pull the reins to convey the news that Marquis Leping was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou.
Most of the passers-by and the nosy people of Bingzhou could not understand why Marquis Qiao had to go to the capital to apologize for sending troops to fight against the Huns without authorization, but the result was good after all!
Anyway, Marquis Qiao won the first place in the competition to select the General Du Liao. The emperor in the capital thought that Marquis Qiao was a capable man, so after arranging the position of General Du Liao for him, he also made him the Governor of Bingzhou.
The restart of the provincial governor system was still an unknown thing for some people who were relatively uninformed, but the soldiers escorting Marquis Qiao said that the governor of Bingzhou was the highest official in Bingzhou, which was always easy to understand.
Supreme Commander!
This is undoubtedly exciting news for the people in Bingzhou.
Although it is not known how long Qiao Yan will sit on the position of Governor of Bingzhou, but at least, judging from her previous behavior, they will be able to live in peace for a while!
Han Fu suddenly felt someone looking in his direction, and he subconsciously straightened his back. Who knew that the next moment he heard someone asking, "Is that the person defeated by Qiao Hou?"
Han Fu's expression suddenly froze on his face.
But thinking that before he left Luoyang, Yuan Benchu had specifically looked for him once and told him not to conflict with Qiao Yan unless necessary, he gradually relaxed his tense state and pretended that he had not heard such words.
What Yuan Shao said was right. The other party now had the power to monitor and supervise him in battles. With the way he escaped from Luoyang unscathed and even got the position of Governor of Bingzhou, he would definitely make him suffer a lot.
At least until he finds a way to check and balance the other party, he obviously has to keep his tail between his legs.
For someone with Han Fu's temperament, this is...
This is not something unacceptable.
However, when he looked at the people of Bingzhou who left happily after hearing the news, he found it difficult to understand why they did not seem surprised at all that a woman could be the governor of Bingzhou.
He thought so and asked so.
Qu Yi replied: "With the fierce and martial spirit of Liangzhou and Bingzhou, as long as this Marquis Qiao is strong enough, I'm afraid no one will object even if she declares herself the king here. Of course, I'm just using an extreme case as an example."
There was no intention to support Qiao Yan's claim to the throne.
Qu Yi always spoke his mind, and Han Fu had known him for quite some time, so he accepted what he said quite well.
However, if it is true as Qu Yi said, the people of Bingzhou love and respect the governor of Bingzhou so much, then he will have even less confidence to compete with him.
The only person who made Han Fu feel that he might have a conflict with Qiao Yan was Cui Lie, the former governor of Bingzhou. His performance made Han Fu amazed.
Mr. Cui was shocked to hear that Qiao Yan would serve as Bingzhou Governor from that day on, and that he, the Bingzhou Governor, would concurrently serve as Taiyuan County Governor and Xihe County Governor from that day on, and would also be responsible for teaching Qiao Yan. He made a bitter face for a long time and then sighed, "Why are there so many more things to do?"
"..."Han Fu felt that he needed to refresh his understanding of this famous scholar from Jizhou.
This is too uninspiring!
It's a pity that he had been scolding Cui Lie for being a money-grubber, but he couldn't help but feel that in this environment where everyone has to fight for themselves and their descendants, Cui Lie's actions are not difficult to understand.
But from what he saw during this encounter, he clearly saw a leisurely person who was living in retirement in Bingzhou.
If that's the case, serving as governor of two places is indeed much more tiring than being a governor.
And he immediately saw Cui Lie asking Qiao Yan as if they were chatting, "Have you thought about all the related matters of your appointment? The governor of a state has many more subordinates than a provincial governor. You will not inherit my team, so I have to bring more people to work for me."
The tone of his words is consistent with the style of what he said when he went out to buy something today.
Han Fu heard Qiao Yan reply in the same relaxed tone: "Just leave Zhang Wenyuan to me. I still plan to let him continue to hold the position that Wu Meng is in."
Cui Lie nodded: "Alright, anyway, he was left behind by the previous governor, so it won't be a problem to change the chief now. Give me two days to pack up the luggage in this prefecture, and you can go back to Leping first."
"..." For some reason, the conversation in Han Fu's mind had turned into -
Buy some meat today. Sorry, the meat is sold out. Please come back in two days and I will prepare it for you in advance.
He couldn't bear to hear this anymore.
He left the place on the pretext that he was going to take up the post of General Du Liao and went straight to Wuyuan County.
Qiao Yan looked at the backs of Han Fu and Qu Yi. He did not care about Han Fu's loss of composure at this moment. He just fixed his gaze on Qu Yi for a short while.
Although she now has several powerful generals, she is in Bingzhou and has the real power of governor, so she can never have too many military generals.
Even though Qu Yi suffered a loss at her hands in the previous battle in Luoyang, he is indeed one of the most powerful generals.
Before leaving Liangzhou, most of the descendants of the Qu family in Xiping led their family troops to fight against the Qiang people. Because of this, they accumulated considerable combat experience, and Qu Yi was the best among them.
In the Battle of Jie Bridge, Qu Yi led an ambush of 800 shield soldiers and 1,000 strong crossbowmen, and forcefully defeated tens of thousands of cavalrymen of Gongsun Zan. Anyone who heard about this would have suspected that this was some fabricated story.
But it is true.
He even chased all the way to Gongsun Zan's central army camp, and after retreating, he rescued Yuan Shao from another team of Gongsun Zan.
Qiao Yan had no idea at that time whether he became arrogant because of his achievements, or whether he was killed because Yuan Shao suspected him because his achievements were greater than his master's.
There is no doubt that it would be a good thing if we could win over a hero like Qu Yi.
But since he is now in Bingzhou, there is no need to rush.
The first thing Qiao Yan had to do was to assign official positions to the governor's subordinates.
The governor is the head of a province and is responsible for important military and political affairs, so naturally he has a large number of subordinate officials.
There are two people under the governor, one is Beijia and the other is Zhizhong. Qiao Yan had already mentioned the former in her conversation with Jia Xu. This is a position she wants to reserve for Cheng Li. As for the latter, although Qiao Yan did not know about Xi Zhicai's vision of promotion and salary increase, this position is indeed for him.
After that, it will be your turn to work and take charge of various important tasks.
The Book Cao Congshi was in charge of the record keeping of the treasury and grain. It was not surprising that this position belonged to Qin Yu. She had previously been in charge of agriculture and sericulture in Leping, and was also the secretary of the Marquis of Leping, so she was just the right person to take over this position.
Wu Meng Cong Shi and Bing Cao Cong Shi are both official positions established in times of war, but the difference is that Wu Meng Cong Shi is more inclined to supervise and go into battle when there is a local war, while Bing Cao Cong Shi has a wider scope of jurisdiction, also including security matters within the prefectures and counties.
As for the former, Qiao Yan preferred to let Zhang Liao continue to hold the position, while for the latter, he wanted to promote Zhao Yun from the position of county lieutenant.
But when you think about it, Qiao Yan has more than just Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun as generals at her disposal, so she cannot fail to reward the others with official positions.
Fortunately, there are more than just Wumeng Congshi and Bingcao Congshi in Bingzhou.
The governor of a province had the power to appoint an official in each county of the province to oversee the governance of the county and the submission of documents. In the special situation of Bingzhou, the officials of Yanmen, Yunzhong, Wuyuan and Xihe counties could all hold military positions concurrently.
Therefore, Qiao Yan chose Zhang Yang as an official in Yanmen County to assist Zhang Liao in fighting against the Xianbei.
One person can be assigned here.
But she did not intend to divide Xu Huang, Dian Wei and Chu Yan into the other three places.
Compared to these three positions, they have more suitable places to go.
As for Chu Yan, Qiao Yan placed him in the position of gatekeeper.
The gate chief is not the one who is in charge of one pavilion in each village, but a position guarding the main gate of a state.
Where is the main gate of Bingzhou? It is the gap of the gate between the mountains. Qiao Yan can only feel at ease if he gives this position to Chu Yan.
As for Dian Wei and Xu Huang, Qiao Yan gave them the positions of Menxia Du and his subordinate officials.
The former is still the governor's number one bodyguard, while the latter has only been with her for a short time. After much thought, Qiao Yan decided that it would be better to keep a close eye on him for now.
So how should the affairs of the three counties of Yunzhong, Wuyuan and Xihe be arranged?
After all, there is General Du Liao’s camp in Wuyuan, and Qiao Yan has no intention of completely breaking off relations with him for the time being. The relationship between the two sides still needs to be maintained, so it is better to leave it vacant for the time being.
However, Qiao Yan has a suitable candidate for the positions in Yunzhong and Xihe counties.
It was none other than Guo Jia.
She had previously spoken to Guo Jia about the hope that he could take on the responsibility of intimidating, naturalizing, and deceiving people for her, and she had not changed her mind. Having Guo Jia lead Xihe County and Yunzhong County at the same time would undoubtedly make it easier for him to gradually carry out his actions.
In this way, except for the vacancies in the six counties of Taiyuan, Shangdang, Dingxiang, Shuofang, Wuyuan and Shangjun, there are still two positions left.
One was named Gongcao Congshi and the other was named Dianxue Congshi.
The latter is easy to say. Qiao Yan plans to consult Cai Yong and ask him whether he is willing to take on this position in addition to teaching at Leping Academy. At least he could save up some money for his family. He couldn't always rely on the tuition fees secretly given to him by the students in the academy.
But the former - this is a position in charge of inspecting and recording performance. When she just took over as the governor of Bingzhou, hastily putting someone in this position would be too offensive to the counties, so it would be better to leave it vacant for the time being.
This does not mean that Qiao Yan does not intend to set up this position.
After all, this is also an important source of evidence for the governor to exercise the power to impeach officials.
It is also the most suitable position to place a confidant.
Qiao Yan planned to leave this position to Lu Yuan, but due to the need for gradual progress, he could only put her in the position of chief clerk first.
In addition, there are some low-level subordinate officials that are standard for provincial governors.
For example, Cai Zhaoji, because she was too young, Qiao Yan first arranged a position for her as a secretary.
What is a Shuzuo? It is one of the 25 standard assistants in each state.
What Jia Zuo did was exactly the documents and decrees of the prefectures and counties, so Jia Xu, who was "borrowed" by Qiao Yan from the Taiwei Mansion, was also in this position. Qiao Yan also planned to put Xu Fu and Fu Gan in this position.
Jia Xu is a man who knows how to "survive", so Qiao Yan doesn't think he has the capital to make the other party submit to him right away, or even to give her advice. But there should be no problem in making use of the remaining enthusiasm he has in the stage of clocking in and idling away his time, right?
It just so happened that her Leping was facing the problem of the average age being too young. In terms of knowledge, she had Cai Yong and Cui Lie to help teach, but in terms of political skills, it was better to leave it to an experienced person like Jia Xu.
Jia Xu, who had just settled himself and his wife, suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if someone had plotted against him.
But he doesn't have to worry about this "burden" for the time being.
In order, Qiao Yan had to meet them one by one.
So the person she met first was naturally Cheng Li.
This really doesn't seem like a scene of communication between a newly appointed governor and her subordinates who are about to be entrusted with important tasks.
Cheng Li first calmly reported to her everything that had happened here in the two months since Qiao Yan left Bingzhou, and then turned to congratulate her on obtaining the position of Bingzhou Mu.
Qiao Yan just flipped through the file in his hand, raised his eyes to look at Cheng Li, and asked in the same steady tone: "Should Mr. Zhongde fulfill his promise to change his name?"
that--
Gai Li was Yu's promise.
