The next morning, Wang Yao got up, and with the help of his maid Xiaochan, he washed up, practiced sword for a while, and then received instructions from his father to go to the governor's mansion to listen to orders.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate of the palace, he saw Wen Ji and Deng Dang waiting.

"Young Master."

"You two are here so early."

Wen Ji said: "We know that today is the young master's first time in the officialdom, and he must show his prestige anyway."

"My father is the governor, what is there to show his prestige, but since you are here, there is really a place for you."

Now in terms of government affairs, Xun You and Qiao Yu are both Wang Qi's confidants. As Lu Kang, the governor, has a marriage relationship. Although Wang Qi has led troops to pacify the barbarians several times before, he should still place his own family members in the army.

Now that Wang Yao is back, it is just right for him to let his son go out for training.

The power of a provincial governor is quite large, but now the Han emperor is still in power, so it is naturally inappropriate to interfere too much in local military affairs.

If it is the period of abolishing the governor and establishing the governor, local officials will be truly happy, and they will have complete military and political power in one person and become local emperors.

Wang Qi established the Yangzhou Governor's Office in Yangzhou, Jiujiang County, Shouchun City. Jiujiang County also has its own prefectural governor's office. In order to reduce the intervention of the governor, the Jiujiang prefectural governor established the prefectural governor's office in Hefei.

Although Wang Qi did not directly manage the military and political affairs of Yangzhou, he could directly interfere in the military and political affairs of the counties of Yangzhou through the supervisory power of the governor.

The important affairs of each county also need to be reported to the governor's office.

Similarly in terms of the army, when fighting to pacify the barbarians, it is also organized and commanded by the governor.

In normal times, Wang Qi cannot interfere with the armies of the counties at will. Military power has been a sensitive thing since ancient times and is easy to cause trouble.

However, Wang Xi was still able to control the army of Shouchun City alone.

Shouchun, as the capital of Yangzhou, was equipped with 3,000 garrisons. After all, it was a peaceful period, and there would not be too many soldiers in the prefectures and counties. In addition, other counties in Yangzhou also had their own garrisons. There were many cases of empty salaries among these 3,000 garrisons, which were rectified and filled after Wang Xi took office.

After all, the garrisons of other counties were really useless. Otherwise, the barbarians of Shanyue would not have alarmed the court of Luoyang, and they would not have specially ordered Wang Xi and Lu Zhi to jointly quell the rebellion.

The main foreign threat faced by the Han Dynasty has always been the northern Hu trouble.

Wang Yao brought Wen Ji and Deng Dang to the hall of the government office.

After the three entered, they bowed and saluted: "Wang Yao (Deng Dang, Wen Ji), I pay my respects to the governor."

Wang Qi had already told Wang Yao that he should handle official business impartially and refer to his position in front of outsiders.

"No need to be polite, sit down." Wang Qi waved his hand and asked the three to sit down.

"Today, it can be regarded as a small meeting in my governor's mansion. You are all my confidants, so don't be too restrained."

Wang Qi was able to get the position of governor, so he naturally had a group of confidants under him.

As for the civil officials, they were mainly Lu Kang, the governor, Qiao Yu, the chief secretary, and XunYou.

As for military officers, the core is the team that Wang Qi brought from the north in his early years.

Before coming to Yangzhou, Wang Qi served in Youzhou as the magistrate of Tuyin County in Youbeiping County. He once led his troops to fight against Wuhuan and made military achievements and impressive political achievements. Later, he was promoted to the governor of Lujiang, and then to the current governor of Yangzhou.

Although he had military achievements, it was still not enough to be granted a title of nobility. In today's world, it is much more difficult to be granted a title of nobility purely by military achievements than by showing off power.

At the beginning, Cheng Pu was just a minor official, brave and strategic, and was appreciated by Wang Qi; Han Dang was of even lower status, but because he was good at fighting and charged into battle several times, he was promoted by Wang Qi.

As the saying goes, a scholar will die for his friend. When they went south to Yangzhou, these two followed Wang Qi and are currently serving as lieutenants in the Shouchun Army. They each command a thousand soldiers and are Wang Qi's direct subordinates.

Of the three thousand defenders, two thousand are in the hands of Cheng Pu and Han Dang. The lieutenant who commanded the remaining one thousand was shot dead by a stray arrow when he was fighting against Shanyue last month. It just so happened that Wang Yao came back this month. Isn't this a coincidence?

"Everyone, last month, Lieutenant Zhang Yi died at the hands of Shanyue, and his subordinates also suffered a lot of losses. I intend to let Yanchen take over his remaining troops and retrain the soldiers. What do you think?"

Wang Qi was too lazy to talk nonsense. Shouchun was basically under his control, so there was no need to be pretentious.

As soon as this was said, Qiao Yu, the chief secretary, immediately stood up and said, "I also think that Yanchen is a young talent who can be of great use. I will leave the task of gathering the remnants of Captain Zhang to him. Your Excellency can rest assured."

Lu Kang and Xun You also stood up and expressed their agreement.

The three big men among the civil servants all agreed, so the other petty officials naturally did not dare to have any opinions.

Wang Qi looked at Cheng Pu and Han Dang again: "Demou (Cheng Pu), Yigong (Han Dang), Yanchen is a newcomer to the army after all, and you two need more assistance."

"Yes."

"I obey your orders."

"Okay, since you all have no objections, then, Wang Yao will obey your orders."

"I am here."

"I appoint you as the marching Sima to temporarily handle the military affairs of the third battalion, reorganize the soldiers as soon as possible, and restore combat effectiveness."

"I obey your orders."

Wang Qi did not give out the position of the lieutenant directly, but chose the marching Sima, which was relatively implicit.

"Wen Ji, Deng Dang, you two will serve as the captains and assist Sima Wang."

"I obey your orders."

Wen Ji and Deng Dang were also happy in their hearts. As expected, there was work to do. They finally had the opportunity to lead the troops in actual practice. They must perform well.

"If there is no other important business, please go away. Yanchen, do not slack off in the reorganization of the three battalions."

"I will take my leave."

After everyone stood up and saluted, they left the hall.

When they went out together, Wang Yao did not forget to be polite and courteous to others. They would be officials under the same roof in the future, so naturally they would have to move around more.

"Seniors, Yao just returned to Shouchun yesterday and did not have time to visit you. Please forgive me."

"No problem, we don't need to do this with our relationship."

Han Dang didn't care about these empty formalities. Wang Qi treated him like a teacher. Even his courtesy name was chosen by Wang Qi. Wang Yao, as Wang Qi's son, was also his young master in Han Dang's eyes.

"Yi Gong (Han Dang) is right. We have followed the envoy through life and death. Yanchen and the two of us don't need to be polite. Just greet us if you have anything to say." Cheng Pu's personality is relatively calmer, and he asked directly about the business:

"Why don't you follow us to the military camp first?"

"Since I have received the order, of course I can't take it with me. I still need the help of General Demou."

At the same time, Wang Yao also bowed to the three literati and said:

"Lu Zhizhong, Qiao Changshi, Gongda, it is inconvenient today. I will visit you on a chosen day."

"Young master, you should focus on official business. We are waiting for you at any time in our mansion."

After a while of greetings, they separated.

Civil officials still have to handle official business in the governor's mansion, while military officials go to the military camp.
