Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Lu Chengqing's surprise also attracted Kang Bao, who ran over to take a look, was taken aback, pointed and said to himself: "Why does this look like our Yizhou? Look, this This is the county town, this is Bashu County, this is Longxi, hey, this is Wuzhong County, the Minjiang River that seems to surround the entire Yizhou, right? Brother Guo!"

After Kang Bao pointed out, he suddenly turned his head and asked Guo Ye, "Brother, is this the good thing you want to discuss with my father and offer to my father?"

Now that Lu Chengqing had uncovered the mystery, Guo Ye didn't bother to hide it, and immediately confessed to Kang Bao openly.

On the contrary, Lu Chengqing slowly woke up from the stunned expression of looking at the sand table, and asked Guo Ye in disbelief: "You made this by yourself, little inspector?"

Lu Chengqing didn't look at things as simply as Kang Bao did. On the contrary, he was able to take the position of servant, and he was also the servant of the Ministry of War in charge of the country's military affairs, so he naturally had his vision.

From this unknown thing, he saw that this thing must be able to play a vital role in military strategy.

What kind of situation would it be if the border guards were able to have a detailed description of the situation in the border area against the Turks?At least it can increase the commander's understanding and overall planning of the war.

What would it be like if His Majesty the Emperor could have a huge sand table covering ten roads, 360 counties, one prefecture and counties in the entire Tang Dynasty, and even counties in detail?

……

……

Guo Ye didn't know what Lu Chengqing was thinking now, but ever since he heard that Lu Chengqing was demoted to Yizhou, he felt chills in his heart.Originally, he had the idea of ​​hugging his thigh, but now it's a good thing, this thigh is still an outdated servant who was demoted to the local government.

What's the use?

Even if Lu Chengqing asked him to hug his thigh, he didn't dare to hug it.

You know, not only was he downgraded from a dignified fourth-rank Beijing official, but he was also demoted to a remote place in central Sichuan like Yizhou. What a crime Lu Chengqing committed, and how fierce Longyan was furious.

Regardless of how prosperous Lu Chengqing will be in the future, at least he can see that in the past few years, this is a cold stove, or a cold stove that can't be burned no matter how much firewood is added.

Is it possible to hug him now, and stay with this unlucky Lu Chengqing, until he is in his sixties and becomes prime minister, and he is in his forties, can't he make it to the top?

Shit, you Lu Chengqing is willing, but my little brother Guo is not, your sister!

"Brother, brother, Master Lu is asking you something!"

Kang Bao interrupted Guo Ye's reverie and pulled him out of his contemplation.

Guo Ye let out a cry and looked at Lu Chengqing indifferently with a cold expression on his face. The enthusiasm just now was almost wiped away, and he nodded casually and said perfunctorily: "Well, it was made by the lower officials."

There was no coquettish energy in the words just now, and it was plain and tasteless.

After Lu Chengqing listened to Guo Ye's reply, he didn't pay attention to his attitude, but sighed with some relief: "Good, great, I didn't expect that I would find such a delicate and strange thing that is very useful once I took office. , It’s so useful! You Cishi was out of luck, and couldn’t appreciate such a wonderful thing. Little inspector, what’s the name of this thing?”

"Sand tray!"

Guo Ye still put on a perfunctory sentence, with some impatience in his words.

"ah?"

Kang Bao let out an exclamation, and shouted at Lu Chengqing: "Master Lu, so you have succeeded You Cishi and took charge of our Yizhou territory? Congratulations!"

Guo Ye could not help feeling contempt in his heart when he heard that Kang Bao was starting a cold stove to flatter him.

However, he soon lost his contempt.

To succeed Ke You governor?

So Lu Chengqing is now the first brother in charge of the six counties in Yizhou?

Paralysis, the county magistrate might as well take care of it now, how is this a cold stove, isn't it just a good hot stove for me now?It seems that Kang Bao's father is also under the supervision of the governor, right?What the hell am I thinking about?

Damn, I miscalculated this time!

Guo Ye was in a state of confusion, his body was unstable, and his heel slipped...

boom!

Fall on your back! ! !

Chapter 150 Governor Lu's Thoughts

On the Yinlang boat, Lu Chengqing, the former left servant of the Ministry of War who was demoted as the governor of Yizhou, continued to circle the sand table, talking to himself constantly admiring Guo Ye's whim.

As for Guo Ye, it was only after being lifted up by Kang Bao that he drank a few sips of tea soup before recovering a little.

After Guo Ye sat down, Lu Chengqing suddenly turned his head and asked, "Guo Inspector, is this the purpose of your visit to Captain Kang in Yizhou County?"

He pointed to the huge sand table on the ground, and said, "I can't see that you have an exquisite heart, and you know how to do what you like, not to mention Captain Kang, a member of the army, it's just an officer like me. People who are reading, took a rough look at this sand, what is the sand? Oh yes, the sand table, just took a few glances, and fell in love with this thing. Haha, it is really a good thing with great uses!"

Guo Ye felt guilty because of the contrast in his attitudes before and after, but he also knew that such an exquisite and cross-age sand table would definitely have a considerable lethality on Lu Chengqing, who was born in the military and had great insight.

Otherwise, Lu Chengqing would not have changed his address, and no longer referred to him as "Little Inspector". On the contrary, people with surnames and official positions called him "Guo Inspector", which showed that his position in the other party's heart was suddenly uprooted. rise from the ground.

Immediately, Guo Ye expelled the embarrassment in his heart, nodded confidently and said: "Lord Lu is very knowledgeable, this is something that I came up with after several months of hard thinking and meditation. Or the military captain's mansion, if there is such a fine sand table, it will be twice the result with half the effort!"

Lu Chengqing nodded in agreement and did not deny Guo Ye's statement. Then he thought that Kang Bao called Guo Ye just now, saying that Guo Ye offered this treasure to discuss business with Kang Bao's father, Captain Kang, and suddenly became interested.

So after looking at the sand table on the ground with nostalgia, he walked slowly to the table and sat cross-legged for a while, asking Guo Ye: "People must ask for something under courtesy, it seems that you made up your mind before, you want I want to offer this treasure to make Captain Kang smile, so I can reach out and ask for something?"

After all, he was the left servant of the Ministry of War since 35, and he was an official who had worked in Chang'an officialdom for nearly ten years. With such a vicious vision, he could see Guo Ye's plans at a glance.

Guo Ye's heart skipped a beat at first, but he immediately returned to normal. It was all figured out by others, and he still justified it?Besides, it's nothing to be ashamed of.

Then he nodded heavily a few times, expressing that Lu Chengqing's guess was right.

Lu Chengqing laughed, and said: "I can't put it down because I love this sand table too, and I really have a little thought of 'scrambling to win love'. Tell me, I can meet your requirements. If I can do it, you Why don't you transfer this treasure to me? Besides, you have saved my life, so just for this, I will also listen to your appeal and see if I can help you."

Uh……

Guo Ye was speechless for a while, this is a naked temptation.

You know, in this area of ​​Yizhou, he, Lu Chengqing, took over the position of governor, so he will be able to carry it steadily.

Even Kang Bao's father, the governor of Zhechong, Kang Yueshan, is under the control of him, the governor of Yizhou. Isn't what he asked for when he visited Kang Yueshan also within his control?

But wouldn't this matter be a little unreasonable?

If Kang Yueshan found out about this, would he be a little unhappy, mistakenly thinking that this little Ninth-Rank patrol inspector dared to surpass him, the captain of Yizhou Zhechong, and wouldn't he be taken seriously?

Leapfrog demands, this seems to be some unsurpassed unspoken rules in the workplace.

For a while, Guo Ye hesitated.

Lu Chengqing had a delicate mind, guessed one or two from Guo Ye's evasive eyes, and then laughed loudly: "Don't worry, this officer and Captain Kang Du are colleagues from Yizhou who cooperated sincerely, and they are also old acquaintances. After knowing it, there is only the beauty of an adult, and you will definitely not be unhappy."

Then he turned his head and asked Kang Baodao: "Lieutenant Kang, your father is an upright and good man, don't you think so?"

When Kang Bao heard that Governor Lu praised his father for being as straightforward as a gentleman and as bright and upright as a hero, he naturally beamed with joy, nodded in agreement, and had already forgotten about Guo Ye.
