Turbulent Times Chapter 885: Too impatient

Du Ruhui knows that from the perspective of the Sui court, or in the long run, these things are all things that will benefit the present and benefit the future. Can things be done?

Even if the court is a little impatient, can’t it be completed in thirty years? If His Majesty is impatient, twenty years, or even fifteen years will do!

However, His Majesty wants to finish these things in five or six years. The result of such a forcible process is that the people are full of grievances, the people are devastated, and the heavy corvee makes the people breathless.

Du Ruhui doesn’t know what’s going on in other places. Cheng’an County, where he lives, is forced by corvée. The people fled to the mountains, and there are more and more thieves. Many people from the east are forced to go to sea by corvée and become pirates. Otherwise, what will happen this time? There will be more than 5,000 pirates landing and wreaking havoc.

Fortunately, Du Ruhui heard that there was a mysterious organization called the Martial Arts Guild that gathered most of the martial arts figures in the Sui Dynasty. Otherwise, there were many heroes among these people.

And there is a fatal problem in this process, that is, the great Sui families think of their own families first before the Great Sui court. The internal friction will still fall on the people in the end. Naturally, it is like adding fuel to the fire. In the end, the fire will grow bigger and bigger, and the government will only find it difficult to control…

“When the moon eclipses, it will maintain its permanence; if it eclipses this day, why not worry about it. Who can say clearly what will happen in the future? It is better to find the Lord as soon as possible, do something for the common people in the world, and do something for the people of the world. Use your ambitions to find a platform.” Du Ruhui couldn’t help muttering to himself while facing the bright moon in the sky.

The reason why Du Ruhui finally chose to follow Wang Junlin was because Wang Junlin could give him the opportunity to display his ambitions. On the other hand, he happened to know more about Wang Junlin’s many deeds, and compared to other people’s exaggerated rumors, what he knew was truer and more detailed. , Repair the new capital and the time of the Grand Canal. For another example, although Wang Junlin had a great reputation, all the people he killed were enemies of other races.

In short, Du Ruhui already had a good impression of Wang Junlin, thinking that he was the wise master he could rely on.

However, Du Ruhui never dreamed that the reason why he knew so many positive news about Wang Junlin was that Wang Junlin had made arrangements three years ago. He got these news by chance and was also arranged by Wang Junlin. It can be said that Wang Junlin also took great pains in order to subdue Du Ruhui.

…

…

On the second day, Du Ruhui brought only one entourage, one groom, a box of books and some money, and he joined the post station Wang Junlin and his party early. His family naturally had to wait for him to settle down in Fanyang County He moved there, not to mention that pirates in Fanyang County were rampant at this time. Although there should be no danger in following Qin Angong, it should not put his family in danger.

When Fuyang County was left far behind, Liu Ziming, who was in the car with Wang Junlin, said with a smile: “Your Excellency is short on time, and you have to go to Fanyang County to take up the post at the end of the month, but you are still looking for competent officials and interviewing talents all the way. If you are thirsty.”

Wang Junlin knew that Liu Ziming had doubts about Du Ruhui in his heart, but he couldn’t explain this matter, so he thought for a while and said: “We have been operating in Yongzhou, Daxing City, and even Guanzhong for several years, with strong manpower, force and property. No matter whether it is the court or the people, they have not lost to any powerful family, but now they go to Fanyang County, but they are thousands of miles away from Guanzhong and Yongzhou, and the Fanyang Lu family ranks in the top three among the seven clans and five surnames. It has been operating in Fanyang County for thousands of years. It is deeply rooted and powerful. I heard that the Lu family is good at buying people’s hearts. If we don’t want to end up like a tiger falling into Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, or Longyou shallow water being played by shrimps, we will naturally find a way to gather more talents and become brothers and sisters…”

After listening to Wang Junlin’s words, Liu Ziming’s expression gradually became dignified. Wang Junlin paused and said, “The latest news has not yet arrived, although it is not certain that the five thousand pirates’ invasion is related to the Lu family. But since the founding of the country in the Sui Dynasty, although pirates have also come ashore to plunder in various coastal counties, this is probably the first time that there are more than 5,000 pirates. And I must have heard of my vicious reputation. It stands to reason that it is not Are they afraid of my bad name and actively avoid Fanyang County and go to other counties? Now it is the opposite, doing such unreasonable things.”

Speaking of this, Wang Junlin snorted coldly, and said: “The so-called abnormal things must have demons, and after I arrive in Fanyang County, I will definitely be regarded as an enemy by the other party, so if this matter is related to Lu’s has nothing to do with it, I absolutely don’t believe it.”

Liu Ziming looked solemn, frowned slightly, and said: “But why did Mrs. Lu do this, and what good is it for them? My lord has not yet arrived in Fanyang County, and the raging pirates will not affect your reputation. The imperial court will not pursue the adults.”

Wang Junlin shook his head, thinking that Liu Ziming was in charge of governing the people, he was good at handling the logistics and assisting him in governing the party, but he was much worse than Xu Jingzong in terms of intrigue and trickery.

“Why don’t you call Du Ruhui here and see what he thinks?” Wang Junlin didn’t express his guess immediately.

Sent someone to call Du Ruhui, Liu Ziming asked Wang Junlin the question, Du Ruhui thought for a moment, and then said: “My lord, I think that if you want to determine whether these pirates have colluded with Mrs. Lu, you only need to check afterwards whether the pirates are doing anything We will know whether the robbery of the Lu family’s property will hurt the Lu family. However, the lower official thinks that the possibility that the pirates are related to the Lu family is extremely high, and the lower official thinks that Fan Yang and the Lu family may have three purposes for doing this.”

Wang Junlin smiled, and Liu Ziming was a little dissatisfied, and said, “Which three purposes?”

Du Ruhui looked at the smile on Wang Junlin’s face and said with certainty in his heart, “First of all, Mrs. Lu is very afraid of my lord, and wants to take advantage of the power of pirates to recruit people who might become lord’s help before he arrives in Fan Yang.” All things were destroyed. Second, Mr. Lu wanted to leave a mess for the adults, so that the adults would be busy cleaning up the mess after arriving in Fanyang, and had no time to worry about Mrs. Lu in a short time. Third, they wanted to attract the attention of the adults to Regarding the pirates, maybe they still have some means, thinking that they can force the adults to rely on them to destroy the pirates, so that the adults can be **** in Fan Yang as the prefect.”
