Please ask me to be the emperor

That night, the rebels rushed back to the Sanyuan County Station. Zhang Jinyan quickly arranged for more people and entertained them warmly.

Early the next morning, Zhang Shun and others left Sanyuan for Yaozhou under Zhang Jinyan's reluctant farewell.

"Husband, why don't you stay in Sanyuan for a few days to completely solve the problem of Guanghui Canal before leaving?" The red lady has not fully recovered, and she has been much quieter that day. She can't help but follow Zhang Shun honestly. asked somewhat strangely.

"I went out this time for a hunting tour, not to work for local officials. If I did their duties for them, what else would they have to do?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but smile after hearing this, "Being able to find problems and Finding a solution is the limit of what I can do as a superior."

"How to solve the problem and how to operate it will have to wait for the local government to submit the plan according to the process, and then submit it to Lu Weiqi and other officials for careful review before I make a final decision."

A good general neither charges into battle personally on behalf of a vanguard officer, nor does he strategize and remotely control the situation thousands of miles away.

Instead, discover problems, solve them, consider everything, find out the key points, and then issue orders. Only then can you achieve success.

The problem with Guanghui Canal is that it lies in the river and not in the canal. If Zhang Shung was sitting high in the Mingtang, he would probably be like the "Yinjing" and "Reject Jing" groups, harping on where the Guanghui Canal should divert water from. question.

"I see that you are not good at writing or martial arts, but you are very good at being a lord!" The red lady couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled after hearing this.

Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing, but then shook his head and said: "If you want to say how good it is to be a lord, I'm afraid it's just qualified."

"There is one more thing, but I am even better at it than being the lord!"

"Oh, I wonder which one it is?" Wang Qiying couldn't help but interjected when she saw how passionate they were talking.

"Of course I am a husband!" Zhang Shun chuckled.

"Bah, a dog can't spit out ivory!" Wang Qiying blushed and couldn't help but spit.

In this way, everyone walked quickly for another sixty or seventy miles and arrived at Yaozhou City.

Although Yaozhou City is not very big, it has four city gates, which is even smaller than Sanyuan County's city of Jiuli City.

But its land "is surrounded by Dafu in the face, the plateau in the north, Qishui in the east, Juliu in the west, controlling the road of Yi and Yi, united with the plains of Hua, thick on the shoulders of Chang'an, and the finger arms of Yi and Qi!"

"Kui Xiao used this to spy on the three assistants, and Cao Wei used this to protect Qin Long."

What does it mean?

If Sanyuan County is the northern gate of Xi'an City, then Yaozhou can be said to be the northern gate of the entire Guanzhong Plain.

Yaozhou spans the Weibei Plateau and the Weihe Plain. Once Yaozhou is lost, Guanzhong will be wide open and there will be no danger to defend it.

So if Zhang Jinyan of Sanyuan County hadn't given him an "unexpected surprise", Zhang Shun's original plan was to make Yaozhou the first stop.

Everyone came to the north gate of Yaozhou City. Song Qijiao, the new magistrate of Yaozhou, was standing alone outside Yaozhou City, wearing filial piety and linen clothes.

"His Royal Highness King Qin!" Song Qijiao bowed politely and stood aside to greet him.

"You are so rude!" Wang Jinyi compared the reception situation in Sanyuan County and said angrily, "How dare you humiliate His Highness the King of Qin like this!"

"Your Highness, King Qin, forgive me, but now there is a shortage of assistant and secondary officers in the state and the affairs are complicated, so I can't take care of these trivial matters!" Song Qijiao said with a wooden face.

"Red tape is of no use, so don't pay attention to it!" Zhang Shun waved his hand after hearing this, but asked, "Let's talk about it, how many officials are there now?"

When Song Qijiao heard this, he stretched out his hand to hold Zhang Shun's horse, leading him towards Yaozhou City, and responded: "There are people who are magistrates and magistrates of the state, but no one is an official."

"Nowadays, northern Shaanxi is experiencing repeated droughts, and thieves are everywhere. Many thieves are hiding in the mountains north of Yaozhou. It is difficult to wipe them out. Please ask King Shun to send a large army to exterminate them!"

Zhang Shun frowned when he heard this and said: "Eradicating the bandits is not a day's work, it still requires capable officials to do it."

In the Ming Dynasty, Li Mu was a staff member under the magistrate who was in charge of documents. However, like the official history under the magistrate, it evolved into a military position in charge of prisons and suppressing bandits. It was quite similar to the positions of state and county captains in the Qin and Han Dynasties.

"If there is anyone smarter among us, let's leave one for Song Zhizhou to serve as an official!" Zhang Shun thought for a while and turned to ask Wang Jinyi.

Zhang Shun had been to Yaozhou before and knew that there were high mountains on the Weibei Plateau and many thieves.

However, it's not the same climate.

Small ones range from small groups of three to five, while large ones range from just twenty or thirty people.

As long as one person is knowledgeable and brave, he can completely annihilate the other people after recruiting local archers and strong men.

"This" Wang Jinyi pondered for a moment and couldn't help but whisper: "There is a flag commander in our guard who is quite smart and capable. He just followed Commander Liu to explore intelligence and was caught and had one of his ears cut off, so he got a One-Ear' nickname."

"If King Shun is serious, why not keep him here as a sign of sympathy."

When Zhang Shun heard this, he remembered that when he was in Lushi, Liu Yinggui led more than ten people to explore near Baodu Village, but was captured by Chen Taojin, the leader of Baodu Village.

And that "one ear" was the person whose ear was cut off by Chen Taojin and put back to "demand ransom" from him.

"Is it him? He's both wise and brave!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but nodded after thinking for a while, "Song Zhizhou, I want you to recommend someone to serve as an official in Yaozhou and wipe out the bandits here. What do you think?"

"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask my ears!" Song Qijiao was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly thanked him.

Not long after, everyone arrived at Shunyi Station and sat down in order. Zhang ordered Wang Jinyi to call "One Ear" and asked: "I have been famous for the nickname of the strong man for a long time. I don't know how to call him?"

"My surname is Ban. Because I am alert, everyone calls me Hamster. King Shun, you call me Ban Hamster!" "One Ear" heard the words and responded quickly.

"Are your ears okay?" Zhang Shun couldn't help asking gently after hearing this.

"It's okay, it's just that the left and right are not asymmetrical!" Ban Hamster scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

Haha, everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this, and Zhang Shun couldn't help but smile.

"If you want to be symmetrical, are you going to cut off the other one?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but smile, "I'm looking for you on business. The bandits are rampant in Yaozhou, so there is a shortage of a ninth-grade official. "

"Wang Jinyi told me that you are both wise and brave, and you are worthy of a great responsibility. I wonder if you would be willing to stay and share my worries with me?"

Zhang Shun said this, how could the "one-eared" hamster dare not respond?

He quickly laughed and said: "Don't say that King Shun appreciated me and asked me to serve as this official. Even if King Shun wanted my other ear, he would cut off the smaller one immediately and offer it to me without any hesitation!"

"Okay, you are ambitious!" Zhang Shun smiled when he heard this, "It's just that suppressing bandits is different from the army. All the people are strong, so you have to recruit and train them yourself."

"Be sure not to be careless, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't lose an ear this time!"
