Wei Zheng was extremely efficient. After he returned, he immediately wrote down a stack of official denunciations and ordered the Brocade Guards to quickly post them in each county.
The citizens of the various counties immediately came over to watch. Immediately after, their faces were filled with shock and excitement!
"The county governor wants to build an official residence! It wasn't a corvee, but a high price to hire carpenters!”
"Anyone who is willing to go will be rewarded with a small courtyard in the Yin Mansion!”
"White flour flatbread is provided daily! I'll fill you up!"
"One hundred a day!"
"There's a chance to get rid of the lowly status!"
……
The only requirement was that the entire family had to move into the Yin Mansion!
Yang Yu's extremely attractive preferential treatment policies immediately caused the denunciation to spread like wildfire in all parts of Yanmen. Craftsmen from all counties entered the Yin Mansion with their families!
"I was originally worried that we would work outside and that no one would take care of our wife and children at home! Now, his greatest concern had actually become the county governor's condition?”
"Let's be frank. Why does this county governor feel like there's something wrong with his head?？”
"Even if a Prefectural Governor like him is really out of his mind, I still like him!”
In order to arrive at the Yin Mansion as soon as possible and gain Yang Yu's favor, many carpenters abandoned their messy homes and brought their families to join them in light clothes!
In just a few days, 1,000 carpenters from all the counties had poured in!
All of them had families!
Even though carpenters and merchants in this era were all lowly people, they also attached great importance to their children. Each of them had three to five sons!
Wei Zheng saw that so many people had come at once and immediately became worried."My lord, nearly a thousand carpenters have come in. Where are we going to find so many houses to accommodate them? Also, with so many people, if they were paid a hundred dollars, that would be a huge expense! There weren't many people in Yanmen County, and there were only a few people. The annual autumn tax was only so little, so it would probably not last long.”
" Haha!" Yang Yu laughed out loud." You don't think that the money and grain I plundered from the counties are only for my own use, do you?" Go and see how much money and food there are. If it's enough, I'll think of another way! And weren't the Xianbei people coming soon? After ambushing them once, they could exchange money, food, and soldiers for their clansmen, and they could also earn a lot of money.”
Wei Zheng nodded excitedly and immediately went down to do his work.
The recruitment of carpenters by the Prefectural Governor's Mansion of Yin Mansion was not only in full swing in other counties, but also in Mayi!
Thus, the local Xianbei lackeys immediately reported this news to Bu Dugen.
When Bu Dugen heard the news, he was stunned."This is ridiculous! Almost everyone knows that our Xianbei people come to the south to plunder every autumn! Not only did this guy ignore Mayi, he even dared to build an official residence in Yin Mansion? This is really blinding the eyes of the Xianbei people! If I don't drive straight in this year, I'll be letting him down!”
Thus, Bu Dugen immediately gave the order for the army to set off from Yunzhong and head straight for Mayi!
The moment Bu Dugen moved, the Jinyiwei hadn't sent him any news yet.
There were a few unexpected guests who arrived first!
"Lord County Governor, someone outside is asking for an increase. He said that he is the chief registrar of West River County.”
"West River's registrar?" Yang Yu was surprised.”
Xihe Prefecture was adjacent to Yanmen Prefecture, which was under Yang Yu's control. Yang Yu could vaguely guess his purpose for coming here at this time.
"Invite him in."
Not long after, West River's registrar walked in with a dark expression. He didn't sit down and immediately expressed his intentions."Lord County Governor, I'm only here for one purpose. I won't say anything about you building the official residence. I just want you to immediately send someone to take over Mayi City's defense and immediately mobilize all the available soldiers in the county to defend Mayi! This is because the Xianbei people are going to invade this year. They will send over 200,000 troops to wipe out our Bingzhou! Your Mayi County is still the bridgehead of the entire Bingzhou Province. You can't afford to lose it! With a toss of Mayi, the gates of Bingzhou were opened! Once you pass through Yanmen, Taiyuan County will be behind you! County Governor, please don't…don't be so willful!”
At this moment, Wei Zheng also walked in. When he heard what the West River registrar said, he wanted to explain the matter to him so that he would not misunderstand his lord.
Unexpectedly, Yang Yu gave Wei Zheng a look, telling him to shut up. Wei Zheng could only smile bitterly.
Yang Yu was afraid that the Xianbei people would find out about his plan and run away halfway. He wanted to use this position to make a big move and increase Bu Dugen's confidence in going south!
" What?" Yang Yu immediately laughed." You're the chief registrar of West River Prefecture, and you want to teach me how to do things?" Do you know who you are? Men, chase this person out! You really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
The bodyguards immediately pushed the registrar out, and he even fell on his butt…
"Brat!" The registrar was pushed out of County Governor Manor. When he saw that the surrounding commoners were all watching the show, he felt embarrassed. He raised his hand and cursed inside," If I didn't have an old friendship with your former county governor, I wouldn't have come here to remind you! When Mayi is lost and countless people in Bingzhou are slaughtered by the Hu, you can just wait to lose your head!”
Just as he was cursing, another man in official robes rode over and arrived at the entrance of County Governor Manor. When he dismounted, the two of them were stunned!
"Are you the Dingxiang County's official registrar?”
"Yes, it's me. Are you the official registrar of West River Prefecture?”
"Yes, I am…Did you come here to persuade the Yanmen Prefectural Governor to defend Mayi?”
"Yeah, brother, are you here to do this too?"”
West River's registrar immediately recounted his experience in grief and indignation.
"No way?" The Xianbei people had more than 200,000 cavalry! What kind of official residence did the Yanmen Prefectural Governor dare to build? When the time came, even his Yin Mansion would be breached by the Hu, and he would lose his life! Why didn't they think of a way to set up defenses in Mayi? Why did Tian Zi send such a person?”
"No, this matter concerns the millions of people in Bing Province. Even if I have to go in today, I have to wake this unconscious official up!”The Dingxiang official rolled up his sleeves and walked in majestically.
Everyone outside looked curiously at the door of County Governor Manor, waiting to see what would happen next.
However, in the blink of an eye, the Yanmen Prefectural Governor came out with the Dingxiang Official Bookkeeper in one hand and threw him out with a whoosh!
If it wasn't for the commoners who were watching the show hurriedly holding him back, this registrar would probably have fallen and bled!
"Stupid official!"
"How rude!"
"Yanmen will definitely be broken!"
"Just wait for Tian Zi to take your head!”
The two bookkeepers cursed and left.
The surrounding commoners were all speechless.
A few of them, whose eyes were flickering, immediately left the Yin Mansion and passed Mayi. They quickly reported the news to Bu Dugen!
