Chapter 650 Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu
"Huaiying is working so hard, how can we just sit idly by? Zhaoxuan, do you have any suggestions on how to help alleviate some of his burden?"
Gao Jiong paused for a moment, then a glint of light flashed in his eyes. He gently stroked the sparse beard on his chin and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
He slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on the figures below who had been buried in heavy political affairs, especially Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu, who had recently joined the team. Gao Jiong had seen and remembered their diligence and talent over this period of time.
"My lord, there are actually two talented individuals right before us who might be able to lend Huaiying a helping hand."
Gao Jiong's words carried a hint of admiration. He gently raised his head and gestured slightly in the direction of Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu.
Su Ye followed Gao Jiong's gaze and saw Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu still busy with their heads down, meticulous in their work, as if everything outside was irrelevant to them.
Su Ye nodded inwardly. He was naturally very clear about the abilities of the two heroes of the late Song Dynasty that he had personally summoned, but he certainly hadn't yet gained a deep understanding of them on the surface.
I was just thinking about how to find a reason to promote them and help Gao Jiong and Di Renjie share some of the heavy administrative burden.
Unexpectedly, Gao Jiong himself offered his assistance. Since even the current governor of Hengzhou made such a recommendation, Su Ye naturally no longer needed to hesitate.
"Oh? What does Zhaoxuan mean by this?"
Despite thinking this, Su Ye still asked with great interest on the surface.
"My lord, look at these two talented men. Since they joined us, they have been diligent and responsible, and their talents are overflowing."
"Wen Tianxiang is upright and incorruptible, while Lu Xiufu is meticulous and good at planning. If these two are given important positions, they will definitely be able to relieve a lot of pressure for Huaiying."
"This is Wen Tianxiang, courtesy name Songrui; this is Lu Xiufu, courtesy name Junshi."
Gao Jiong smiled slightly, took a step forward, and gestured.
"Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu, would you two be willing to share the burden of Hengzhou and lend Huaiying a helping hand?"
Su Ye's gaze lingered on the two of them for a moment, then he nodded, seemingly having made a judgment in his mind, and slowly spoke.
"I am willing to share my lord's burdens and will do my utmost."
Upon hearing this, Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu were both slightly taken aback, then put down their pens, stood up, and bowed.
Su Ye looked at the two of them, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
As two of the three outstanding figures of the late Song Dynasty, these two not only possessed extraordinary talent, but also loyalty and a strong sense of responsibility towards their country.
He was naturally extremely satisfied with having summoned Prime Minister Wen Tianxiang and, incidentally, received Lu Xiufu as a bonus.
"Good! From today onwards, Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu, you two will assist Huaiying in handling government affairs, especially matters concerning the management of martial artists and the maintenance of public order. You must ensure the stability of our Tianheng Prefecture."
Thinking of this, Su Ye didn't hesitate and immediately promoted the two of them.
"Yes, sir! We will do our utmost to live up to your expectations."
Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu exchanged a glance, a hint of excitement flashing in their eyes. They bowed simultaneously, their voices firm and in unison.
Su Ye nodded slightly, his gaze lingering on the two of them for a moment.
"As for your positions..."
Su Ye pondered for a moment, and then made up his mind.
"Hengzhou is a province, and you two are newcomers. It may be difficult to gain the support of the people if you are directly appointed as high-ranking officials. However, I have seen your talent and ability."
At this point, Su Ye paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu again, noticing the expectant light shining in their eyes.
"Therefore, I have decided to appoint you two as the Chief Administrators of Hengzhou to assist Zhaoxuan and Huaiying in handling government affairs. Although this position is not a high-ranking one, it still carries considerable power, enough for you two to display your talents and accumulate merits."
He smiled inwardly and continued.
"Thank you for your promotion, my lord! We will certainly do our utmost to serve you!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu exchanged a glance, both showing delight, and bowed respectfully.
"Very well! You must all do your utmost, and I will certainly not treat you unfairly!"
Seeing that he had successfully recruited two of the three heroes of the late Song Dynasty, Su Ye nodded in satisfaction and then discussed some other political affairs with Gao Jiong.
The two engaged in a question-and-answer session, creating a harmonious and efficient atmosphere.
With Su Ye's involvement, the administration of Tianheng Prefecture was handled in an orderly manner, and all matters were progressing smoothly.
As time passed, the affairs hall of Tianheng Prefecture gradually quieted down.
After finishing the last document, Su Ye looked up at the sky outside the window; it was already sunset.
"Zhaoxuan, you've had a hard day."
"Go back and rest. Come again tomorrow."
Su Ye stood up, stretched, and said to Gao Jiong.
"My lord, I am not tired. It is you who have been working hard today, leaving your beautiful ladies at home to handle so many matters with us."
Gao Jiong shook his head and smiled.
Su Ye stood up, patted Gao Jiong on the shoulder, and the two smiled at each other, everything understood without words.
Afterwards, Su Ye strode out of the affairs hall, preparing to personally visit Di Renjie, who was working tirelessly for the prosperity and stability of Tianheng Prefecture.
Walking on the streets of Tianheng Prefecture, Su Ye could clearly feel the changes here.
The martial arts tournament not only spread the fame of Tianheng Prefecture far and wide, but also filled the entire prefecture with a positive and uplifting atmosphere.
Of course, he also knew that all this prosperity was inseparable from the hard work of Di Renjie, Gao Jiong and other ministers.
When Su Ye arrived at Di Renjie's office, the room was brightly lit, and Di Renjie was engrossed in his documents, looking very focused.
Su Ye gently pushed open the door and went in. Di Renjie looked up and immediately stood up to bow.
"My lord, what brings you here? It's so late, and you've gone to all this trouble."
Di Renjie's voice carried a hint of surprise.
"Huaiying, you've worked hard. I've come to see if there's anything I can do to help."
Su Ye smiled and waved his hand, indicating that Di Renjie didn't need to be so polite.
"My lord, look at these. They are all cases and matters waiting to be dealt with. But rest assured, my lord, I will do my utmost and live up to your expectations."
Di Renjie gave a wry smile and pointed to the mountain of documents piled up on the table.
"I have never doubted Huaiying's abilities, but you should also take care to rest and not overwork yourself. Tianheng Prefecture can't do without you now."
Su Ye looked at Di Renjie's diligent and hardworking appearance and felt a little helpless.
"Rest assured, my lord, I will take note. However, these matters are indeed urgent and cannot be delayed."
Upon hearing this, Di Renjie felt a warmth in his heart and nodded.
"Lord Di, regarding the issue of high work pressure and numerous tasks you mentioned, I have already instructed Zhaoxuan to find a solution."
"Zhaoxuan and I have already found two outstanding talents for you, so Huaiying should be able to relax a bit soon."
After listening, Su Ye pondered for a moment before speaking.
"If that's truly the case, then that would be wonderful! Thank you for your consideration, my lord!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Di Renjie's eyes.
