Chapter 5: Search (III)

"You..." Even though he had guessed one or two in advance, Pan Mei was still scared by Zheng Ziming's thoughts., . He was stunned for a while, then gritted his teeth and added: "You will die sooner or later without a burial place!"

"Are you scared?" Zheng Ziming raised his eyebrows and sneered at him.

Pan Mei is two years younger than Zheng Ziming, how could she stand being so despised? She immediately curled her lips and responded proudly: "Scared? Fear! At worst, I will pay this life. After all, I will leave my name behind if I die!"

After saying that, he quickly realized that he was trapped. So he curled his lips and added loudly, "You don't have to use any 'stimulating' methods to me! Since Pan promised to assist you, he would not give up halfway. With that skill, you might as well think about how to deal with the difficulty in front of you."

"Let Fan Changshi send a statement and recruit talents. If you don't study hard, just be able to read and write!" Zheng Ziming smiled and quickly gave an unexpected answer.

"How could a real talent pay attention to your list article?" Pan Mei was slightly stunned again, and asked with her eyes wide open.

"You don't need talent, you just need to be able to write and calculate, and be willing to do things seriously. What do you need to do with so many talented people?" Zheng Ziming shook his head and asked with a smile.

"You, you, are you going to govern the place by the way of military management?" Pan Mei's eyes doubled in an instant, and her two black black eyes almost jumped out of her eyes. "How could this happen?"

"How can I know if I don't try it. Even if it doesn't work, the result will not be worse than it is now!" Zheng Ziming slapped the table hard and answered decisively.

Yes, it's so far away, what else can I fear? Pan Mei's eyes lit up instantly, and then a proud smile surged on her face.

As Zheng Ziming's military advisor and friend, he has been working hard to plan the future for the Cangzhou Army in recent days. However, no matter how he tossed and turned, he still couldn't see much light.

Today, Zheng Ziming's words undoubtedly made people suddenly shine. Although they still can't see where the future is, at least Pan Mei knew where to start.

Since they cannot get the support of the gentry and powerful people, they should not want their support. Anyway, those who have received support from the gentry and powerful people in the past were unable to block the Khitans' iron hooves.

If the predecessors have no way to go, there is no need for future generations to repeat the same mistakes. If you change your way, maybe the sky will be wide.

What Cangzhou needs most now is not a great sage or a scholar or a famous scholar. But a person who is down-to-earth and willing to work hard. Those who can implement various decrees to the end without fail. Only by minimizing internal friction and minimizing empty talk can everyone accumulate strength at the fastest speed and be qualified to plan for the future.

Otherwise, no matter how good Zheng Ziming's reputation is, no matter how powerful his subordinates are, they will be just a "flower" in the end.

The young people have less experience and less rules and regulations than the older generation. At the moment, the core figures of the Cangzhou Governor's Office are less than twenty years old. Therefore, when Zheng Ziming and Pan Mei discussed and decided on the new political strategy, they were promoted without any resistance.

At the beginning, it was naturally bumpy, and even Zheng Ziming's reputation that had just improved in the Shilin City became as dark as ink. However, as time went by, the efficiency of the "Governor's Office" became higher and higher. The people's perception of the government continued to improve day by day.

Especially after the summer grain was put into storage, because the gentry did not have to peel it off from the middle, the food that the people fell into their hands increased significantly compared with previous years. The grain received in the treasury also increased a lot compared with previous years. This made the gentry's words become increasingly unconvincing. After several other weak princes who were nearby saw the changes in Cangzhou through their eyes, they began to thrive on the powerful people under their rule.

"At this time, you should go out and have a more time. Let the people below see what the newly appointed governor looks like? Do you have to eat a living person's heart and soul every day!" Pan Mei is a very qualified military advisor. When the public opinion among the people had just begun to turn, she immediately suggested that Zheng Ziming take the opportunity to win people's hearts.

Zheng Ziming has been with the desks for several months and felt bored. He heard Pan Mei make sense, so he ordered his subordinates to arrange a tour immediately.

Zhao Kuangyin, Han Chongyun, Yang Guangyi and others have been away for a long time. Tao Dachun, Li Shuner, Tao Yong, Guo Xin and others are so busy that they are not stuck in the ground. So when they are on a tour, they are only taking the two Chief Secretary Fan Zheng, Sima Pan Mei, and a team of personal soldiers, and it seems that they are going out for a walk with a young man in the past.

In Cangzhou, Zheng Ziming, the governor and governor, could have stopped children from crying at night. The people had long heard from the gentry that he had committed suicide by making money, corruption, and abused the law, and robbed men and dominating women. They wanted God to kill the man and kill him alive.

However, as Yongyetian and Sangmatian got apart, the days at home became more and more promising, and the people's hearts gave the words of the gentry and the old people in half. When they saw the legendary vicious spirit, they were just a handsome young man of seventeen or eighteen years old. Although they had a tiger-backed and bear-waisted waist, they all had a smile on their faces when they talked to. Suddenly, the lies of the gentry and the old people were completely "the truth". Turning around, the elders and the villagers all competed to talk about the benefits of the governor with guilt.

Pan Mei learned about the latest public opinion through detailed work, and immediately arranged for her confidant to pretend to be a peddler and pawn to help the fire. As a result, Zheng Ziming had just inspected half of the counties under his command, and his reputation had completely lost. From a vicious evil spirit who was born with cannibalism, he instantly turned into a generous and generous boy.

"Is it a bit too much for us to do this?" Zheng Ziming was not resistant to the arrangements that took the opportunity to win over the people's hearts, but he was somewhat resistant to the creation of lies. He took advantage of the fact that the "missing" among the people, and questioned Pan Mei in a low voice.

"Extraordinary times, do extraordinary things." Pan Mei felt a little proud, pointing the whip at the road and bowing to the governor's ceremonial guard with a horse whip, and said with a smile: "As long as we have finished this round, from now on, we will take root in Cangzhou completely. Even if we make some mistakes occasionally in the future, our fellow villagers will regard them as bad things that the subordinates do on their backs, and have nothing to do with you, the governor."

"Then I can lend your head for use!" Zheng Zi understood him and commented angrily.

Compared to being a prince, he found that he was actually more suitable to be a general. At least, when leading troops to fight, he didn't have to think about these so-called imperial power schemes in his mind.

"If you take the initiative now..." When a certain thought lasts for a lifetime, it will immediately grow like the weeds in the 'spring'.

The troupe training that was forcibly incorporated when they first came to Cangzhou has gradually merged with the "element" of Lijiazhai. The food and supplies at hand are not as difficult as when they first arrived. If they crossed the Zhang River and attacked Hejian County before the autumn harvest, they would definitely be caught off guard by the local Youzhou army.

Since the defeat in "Spring", the Youzhou army has not been moving for a long time. In previous years, the behavior of crossing the border and hitting grass valleys that would inevitably occur before and after wheat harvesting disappeared. According to Zheng Ziming's situation, the Han Kuangsi brothers had never been so peaceful before. They were dormant for several months. If they moved, they would definitely have a full blow.

Yizhou was broken and there was no way to grab it. Dingzhou defense envoy Hu Yancong, supported by Hedong Jiedushi Liu Chong, behind it, and he could not afford to provoke it easily. The situation in Qizhou and Shenzhou is similar to that of Yizhou, and the relationship between the Jiedushi and Han Kuangsi brothers was originally a bit unclear. In this way, the only place left that is suitable for Youzhou army to grab it and must have grabbed the food, so he shouted out.

If the Han brothers wanted to go south to rob, their target could only be Cangzhou. In an instant, Zheng Ziming "stimulated" Lingling and quickly "touched" his hand under the Masan Bridge. His bright eyes looked around at the same time, as if there were countless enemy troops hidden in the wilderness outside the city.

These actions are purely the instinctive reactions when he felt danger as a general. He did not need to pass the command of his brain. However, just as his hand had just touched the handle of the steel whip, a series of feather arrows suddenly came from mid-air, "Swhoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh--"
