Chapter 255 There was still a period of time for the county heads and county heads of the three counties to arrive in Huaiyang, and Tang Yin was not idle during this period, and the list of corps commanders, deputy corps commanders, and thousand commanders submitted by the four legions directly under Pingyuan, Sanshui, Chifeng, and directly under the army was enough for Tang Yin to approve for a while.
Basically, the list submitted by each legion is a thick pile, which includes detailed information about the candidates, military exploits, and so on.
Tang Yin only selected the commanders of each corps, and as for the candidates for the deputy corps commander and the commander of the thousand, they were all handed over to Qiu Zhen to deal with.
During the period when he lived in Huaiyang, there were naturally many local officials who came to visit him, and people came to visit every day, and there was a lot of traffic in front of the hotel.
Tang Yin's surname is casual, he doesn't like this kind of politeness in officialdom, and he pushes Zong Yuan to meet people who come to visit on his behalf.
After all, Zong Yuan originally served in Huaiyang, and he was very familiar with the local officials, and he was more able to deal with it.
These officials all know in their hearts, although the county head is still Yu Tao, but the real control is Tang Yin, for their own future, they naturally flattered a hundred times, and they brought a lot of gold, silver and jewelry from home when they came.
Because Tang Yin was closed, he could only see Zong Yuan, and the officials could only listen to the news from the latter's mouth, of course, the dots on Zong Yuan were also indispensable.
Zong Yuan did not refuse to come, some people wanted to send Tang Yin money through him, he accepted all the orders, and some people wanted to buy him to say good words to Tang Yin for himself, he also agreed, and all the property was accepted.
However, Zong Yuan received money from people, but did not do things for others, and he handed over all the gold and silver given to Tang Yin by the officials, and he also did not go to diplomacy with the money given to him by the officials, and put it all into his own pocket.
He can't hide the eyes of the dark arrow personnel in this way, this kind of private collection of money is what Tang Yin hates the most, it stands to reason that the dark arrow personnel should detain him first, and then hand it over to Tang Yin to deal with after the review is clear, but Zong Yuan gave Tang Yin a clever plan to sneak attack Tongmen, and now he is a big celebrity in front of Tang Yin, and he is deeply appreciated by the latter, and the dark arrow personnel do not dare to move him easily.
Cheng Jin, as the leader of the Dark Arrow, also approached Tang Yin for this matter, and secretly reported everything he knew about Zong Yuan's actions to Tang Yin, asking him what he meant.
At this time, the Dark Arrow organization was gradually changing from an intelligence department to a secret service department, similar to the two factories and one guard during the Ming Dynasty.
After listening to Cheng Jin's report, Tang Yin felt quite inexplicable, if Zong Yuan took bribes privately, then he would have to do things for others, but he had never said good things to a certain official in Huaiyang in front of him, just the opposite, he often asked himself to see, which official is not capable enough to be reused, which official is too poor in character and untrustworthy, etc.
He asked Cheng Jindao with some uncertainty: "It's okay for you to check these."
Cheng Jin's face was straight, and he hurriedly said: "My lord, how dare my subordinates falsely accuse Master Zong?"
Tang Yin nodded, Cheng Jin was ruthless, but he was very upright, if there was no full evidence, he would not say that Zong Yuan was not in front of him.
He lowered his head, rolled his eyes, pondered for a long time, and instead of being angry, he smiled and said, "Even if Master Zongda accepted everyone's benefits, he didn't do anything undutiful, so let him go."
"Oh, my lord's subordinates, I see."
Cheng Jin bowed his hand and turned to leave.
Knowing that Zong Yuan had accepted bribes privately, Tang Yin was not only not angry, but trusted Zong Yuan even more.
People have preferences, as long as you know his preferences, it is easier to control him, and if you are afraid, you are afraid that he has no preferences and cannot find his weaknesses.
Zong Yuan is good at money, and he is also greedy for money, which is a good thing, and it can also be seen that his ambition is not big, I am afraid that people like Zhong Tian will not show anything by your side, but I don't know when to seize the opportunity and suddenly stab you in the back.
This is the genius of Zong Yuan.
He had long seen that Tang Yin was very suspicious, it was too difficult to gain his trust, now was Tang Yin's initial stage, he could treat everyone around him well, but once he became famous, with Tang Yin's evil spirit and brutality, the people around him might not be treated well.
Zong Yuan deliberately showed the surname Xi who was greedy for money at this time, just to dispel Tang Yin's doubts, and also to show that he had no ambitions, let alone threaten Tang Yin.
There are so many strategists under Tang Yin's command, and there are many brilliant and far-sighted geniuses such as Qiu Zhen and Zhang Zhe, but in terms of long-term vision, none of them are in Zongyuan.
The birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking, which is the same truth through the ages.
Ten days later, Shangguan Yuanji and others, who were the farthest away from Huaiyang, also rushed to Huaiyang.
At this time, the high-ranking officials of Tianyuan County, Guannan County, and Jinguang County all gathered in Huaiyang.
In the official residence of the county capital, Yu Tao prepared a feast to entertain Tang Yin and the county heads and county guards of other counties.
There are three counties in Tianyuan County, three counties in Guannan County, and four counties in Jinguang County, and there are as many as ten people at the head of the county alone.
According to Tang Yin's meaning, there is also a roast whole sheep in the center of the main hall, the mutton is already six or seven minutes cooked, and the aroma of meat wafts all over the house.
It is rare that the officials of the three counties are gathered together, many people do not know each other, at this time they greet each other, toast each other, the hall is very lively, full of joy, laughter continues.
Of course, people will not know who the protagonist of this banquet is, there are more people who went to toast Tang Yin, and there was a big circle around him, and before he had eaten a few bites of food, Tang Yin's wine had already drunk more than ten glasses.
No matter how good Tang Yin's alcohol was, he couldn't resist so many people taking turns to toast, seeing that everyone was endless, he stood up, waved his hand, and said, "All the adults go back to their seats, I have something to say."
Hearing this, everyone didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned to their seats, waiting for Tang Yin to speak.
Tang Yin stood in place, first glanced around at everyone present, and then smiled leisurely, he picked up the dagger on the table, bypassed the table, walked to the center of the hall, cut off a piece of meat on the roast whole sheep, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice, he smiled: "It tastes good" As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Yu Tao and said: "This time I can successfully defeat the Ning army, and Lord Yu has contributed a lot."
"Ah, my lord is polite, my lord is polite" Yu Tao was flattered and bowed again and again, and his face was full of pride.
Tang Yin said: "If it weren't for Lord Yu's defection to the city, the rear of our army would not have stabilized so quickly, and he would have no worries about fighting against Ning, so he would not be able to use all his strength."
After a pause, he smiled and asked, "Lord Yu, I don't know what reward you want."
Yu Tao hurriedly said: "Assisting the adults to resist the Ning army is what the lower officials should do, and it is also an obligation to be fulfilled, and I dare not ask for a reward."
What he said was better than what he sang, Tang Yin sneered in his heart, shook his head, and said: "If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have a fault, you will be punished, this is the law of the wind, so Lord Yu doesn't have to be humble."
As he spoke, he looked at the others again, and everyone's expressions did not change, but their eyes were drifting towards Yu Tao, and there was a faint sense of envy in them.
"Zhong Tian is rebellious, killing the king and seizing the throne, everyone will be punished, and now our three counties should unite and work together to fight against Zhong Tian, what do you think?"

"What Lord Tang said is extremely true" "En" Tang Yin nodded, and smiled at Tao: "I think so, Lord Yu is only the head of one county, it is really overkill, you can be the chief inspector of the three counties, inspect the big and small affairs of the three counties, I don't know what the adults want."
"This" Yu Tao's face changed suddenly when he heard this.
The patrol envoy is just a vacant position, he has no real power, and he is not treated well, and he is looked down upon by people wherever he goes, which is a laborious and thankless chore, and how can he be the head of a county to be stable and comfortable Yu Tao gasped, hurriedly got up and said: "Lord Tang Tang, I'd better be my county head, the position of the chief inspector of the three counties, the subordinate officials really can't afford it."
Tang Yin smiled and asked, "Lord Yu is not satisfied with my arrangement."
"No, no, no, Xia Guan definitely didn't mean that, he just felt that my ability was limited, and I couldn't take on this heavy responsibility, and it was a big deal."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Yin waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile: "Lord Yu doesn't need to be humble anymore, I have made up my mind, and the position of chief inspector must be Lord Yu."
"Yes" "There is no joke in the army, and there will be no joke in the officialdom, since my words have been spoken, Lord Yu doesn't need to say more."
Tang Yin said with a smile, his face was smiling, but his eyes were full of light, and his sharp gaze fell on Yu Tao's face, which made the latter involuntarily shiver, and he didn't dare to say the words that came to his mouth.
He could endure it, but the four county heads under his command couldn't bear it.
These four people are all Yu Tao's cronies, and they also rely on Yu Tao to become the head of the county, once Yu Tao is gone, their positions will not be guaranteed.
One of the county leaders in his early forties with sharp-beaked monkey cheeks spoke: "It's really inappropriate for Lord Tang to arrange it like this."
"Oh" Tang Yin turned his eyes to him and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Although Lord Tang has been promoted to the rank of Lord Yu, but this chief inspector is just a fictitious position, isn't this equivalent to a real descent from Ming Da Tang said that he would give a heavy reward to Lord Yu who has made great contributions, but it is in this way of crowding out people, isn't Lord Tang afraid of being made fun of?"
His words were very heavy, and he was to the point, and he didn't save any face for Tang Yin.
Yu Tao didn't speak, but he was very happy in his heart, henchmen are henchmen, and when it comes to the critical moment, he has to rely on them to speak for himself.
With the county leader's outspokenness, the atmosphere in the hall immediately froze, people inhaled one after another, and they didn't dare to breathe, and their eyes turned to Tang Yin one after another
