When these county magistrates heard Li Jian's words, their faces were filled with fear and mixed feelings. They said one after another,"
"Your Highness values both kindness and power. I will do my best to serve Your Highness!”
"That's right. Your Highness is already showing mercy by giving us a way out. Without Your Highness's encouragement, we would still be muddleheaded and not know what the people's hearts, the people's will, the people's livelihood, and the people's livelihood are.”
"Your Highness is open-minded, open-minded, and open-minded. I can't describe your kindness to us. I only hope to work for Your Highness and not be eliminated at the end.”
When Li Jian heard this, he nodded and smiled." All of you are my subordinates. I know what happened to you in the past, so I won't hold you accountable for the time being. I've given you a chance, so you have to cherish it. If Bing Province is good, all of you are good. If Bing Province is bad, I will hold you accountable first!”
"This king will occasionally send out chief historian Luo Fuhua and censor Wang Bo to supervise you. Don't be lazy. This king has said it first.”
Upon hearing Li Jian's words, the county magistrates felt as if they had been pardoned and came over to pay their respects.
Then, they respectfully filed out, their hearts pounding wildly. This was a true test!
After watching the county magistrates leave, Li Jian heaved a sigh of relief.
No matter how capable he was, he still had to rely on the bureaucrats below him to do specific things.
He wasn't the emperor yet, so he didn't have the authority to hold the imperial examinations. He could only use the old officials for now.
If he wanted to have talents that he could use to his heart's content, he could only slowly dig them out.
……
The next morning.
The sun was shining brightly, and the Provincial Governor's Mansion was very large. It had a very large garden.
There was a stream in the back garden, and the clear water of the moat flowed slowly into it.
Li Jian stood on the sapphire stone arch bridge and looked around. He placed his hands on the railing.
Under the vast sky, the white clouds were moving quickly, but the sky in the distance began to darken.
It snowed in August. Bing Province was close to the grassland, so the climate was affected by the grassland.
Li Jian bent down to look at the stream. A large group of fish were swimming in a straight line. These fish were colorful. There were Crucian Carp, Goldfish, Fat-headed Fish, and Red Carp. It was a spectacular sight.
"Your Highness-"
Luo Binwang, Xue Rengui, and Wang Bo came to Li Jian under Wang Yong's lead. They sized up Li Jian and were surprised to find that Li Jian had undergone a huge change.
His height suddenly increased by quite a bit. His gaze was aggressive, his breathing was stable, and his face was ruddy. He did not look like he was twelve years old.
"What are you two looking at?”Li Jian smiled.
" Your Highness, those county magistrates didn't have any intention of resisting Your Highness after they returned…" Luo Binwang bowed and said.
"We need to observe their performance for a long time. Sightseeing, Zian, Rengui, what do the three of you think of the Silk Road? What do you think of the composition of the road protection army?" Li Jian asked.
"Your Highness, I admire your foresight. However, according to what I know, there are people in Chang 'an who oppose it. How will Your Highness deal with them?”Wang Bo said.
Hearing this, Li Jian smiled and said casually,"
" Zian, I expected those old men in Chang 'an to oppose us. Don't worry about them. We just need to do things well. So what if they want to oppose us?”
"Your Highness, your concern is very good.”Wang Bo said.
Wang Bo was appointed as the censor by Li Jian and had already obtained Li Er's approval.
After two wars, Li Er's attitude towards Li Jian's governance of Bingzhou was very clear. He wanted to let Li Jian do whatever he wanted and see how well Li Jian could do.
To a certain extent, Li Er had withstood a lot of pressure for Li Jian. It came from the pressure of those old noobs in the imperial court.
Li Jian's support for Wang Bo was the same. Wang Bo was in charge of supervising all the officials in Bingzhou, so Li Jian did not interfere too much.
Bingzhou was very big and had all kinds of complicated forces. After Li Jian took charge of Bingzhou, it was within Li Jian's expectations that those old officials and aristocratic families would secretly report to the government for warmth.
After Wang Bo's independent investigation, the general situation was under control.
In the hearts of many noble families in Bing Province, Li Jian was only temporarily in charge of Bing Province.
After all, Li Jian was just a useless young prince before. However, after Li Jian's series of swift and decisive methods, they were shocked to find that this useless young prince was so powerful and iron-blooded.
However, it was already too late by the time they realized this. Bing Province, which originally belonged to Crown Prince Li Chengqian, was now Li Jian's territory.
After Luo Binwang reported the basic situation of the 54 counties, he recommended a group of people to Li Jian.
When Li Jian heard this, he said to Luo Binwang seriously,""Sightseeing, you should still be this king's long history. As for Luo Fuhua, let him be a county magistrate. In the future, you will be this king's long history. This king grasps the big and lets go the small.”
"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness! I will do it well to repay Your Highness 'kindness!”Upon hearing this, Luo Binwang immediately felt a heavy burden on his shoulders. At the same time, he felt proud that he had been recognized by Li Jian.
