Chapter 1107 Arrangements for Yu Han
Trigger the second ring of the serial task of clearing the rebel forces around Qingyuan County: gather the remnants of Zhou Dalong and find the missing Ran Guang.
When Wu Fan completed the first ring of the task, he heard the content of the second ring of the task.
This second ring of the task obviously includes two parts, finding Ran Guang and gathering the remnants of Zhou Dalong.
Wu Fan has already completed the part of finding Ran Guang. Not only did he find Ran Guang, he even successfully surrounded and suppressed the other party, which was considered to have exceeded the task.
But Wu Fan has not done the task of gathering the remnants of Zhou Dalong. Now it is time to consider this part.
"Your Excellency is right. I will follow your arrangement." Seeing Wu Fan looking at him, Yu Han nodded and bowed in response.
"Tomorrow!" Wu Fan raised a finger and said, "Tomorrow we will go to Zhou Dalong's base together, is there any problem?"
"No, no." Yu Han said quickly, and then he hesitated and said, "It's just that the people there may not welcome us."
"I know." Wu Fan said. Yu Han had told Wu Fan about this situation before, and Wu Fan could understand it: "However, only a few people will not welcome us. My Qingyuan County can provide everyone with a stable life. There is food and money-making jobs here. I believe that most of the rebels will yearn to live here."
The stability of Qingyuan County is Wu Fan's trump card. He wants to solve the problem of rebels, but it does not mean that he has to kill all the rebels. In his opinion, they are all labor. With people, he can do more things, whether it is conscription, farming, or city defense construction, people are needed.
Now the world is in chaos and food is in short supply. Other cities dare not accept refugees or take too many captives, but it is completely different in Qingyuan County. Wu Fan also believes that this alone can attract many people.
"Your Excellency is right." Yu Han quickly agreed.
"You don't have to worry. Just do what I say and I will guarantee your safety." Wu Fan said to Yu Han.
"Don't worry, don't worry." Yu Han said.
In fact, Wu Fan was not wrong. Yu Han was indeed worried. In the final analysis, he was a person who was afraid of death. Otherwise, he would not have surrendered so quickly before.
Now Wu Fan asked him to go back to Zhou Dalong's station. He was naturally afraid. He knew that Zhou Dalong had some stubborn rebels under his command, and the news of his surrender to Wu Fan must have been reported back. If he went back at this time, he would be worried about his life.
But in front of Wu Fan, Yu Han did not dare to say so.
Of course, even if Yu Han didn't say it, Wu Fan could see it. He looked at Yu Han's nodding and bowing, smiled, and said: "I think you are not suitable for joining the army. You are too timid. So, after Zhou Dalong's matter is over, I will build a school in Qingyuan County and you will be the principal."
"School? Principal?" Yu Han looked at Wu Fan in confusion.
"A school is a private school. You can understand the principal as the school's manager. You will be responsible for all the school's affairs in the future." Wu Fan explained.
Building a school is an idea Wu Fan had long ago. Today's society is too similar to ancient China. Here, there are too many illiterate people. Those who can afford to read and recognize words are all from wealthy families. Children from ordinary families have no chance to read and recognize words.
Among Wu Fan's subordinates, only Peng Jun and Yu Han had read books and could recognize characters. The rest, such as Niu Er and Xu Dashan, could not read a single character. As for Tang San, he had never read books before, but after taking charge of the intelligence work around Wu Fan, he took some time to learn to read, and now he can recognize some characters.
In Qingyuan County, there are too few people who have read books, which is obviously not what Wu Fan wants to see, so he has long wanted to build a school to teach children to read, but he had not found a suitable person to be in charge of this matter until he met Yu Han.
"Really? Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" Yu Han heard Wu Fan's explanation and thanked Wu Fan repeatedly.
Yu Han really didn't want to be a soldier, whether he was a rebel or a regular soldier, he didn't want to, because he was afraid of death.
And Wu Fan's arrangement for him now is just what he wants. In this era, scholars are a respected group of people, and being able to be the manager of a private school is definitely a very prestigious and prestigious job.
This kind of work is exactly what he wants.
Wu Fan smiled, thinking that he had made full use of his talents.
After letting Peng Jun and others leave, Wu Fan called Sun Liang.
"Has Ji Pei made any unusual moves recently?" Wu Fan asked Sun Liang.
After Tang San was responsible for investigating the movements of the rebel forces around Qingyuan County, Sun Liang has been in charge of monitoring Ji Pei.
"No, that old fox has been very honest recently." Sun Liang said, "He should know that you are in the limelight now, so he chose to lie dormant."
Wu Fan nodded and said, "This is a bit difficult."
Ji Pei has always been a thorn in Wu Fan's heart. It can be said that if Ji Pei is not removed, Wu Fan will not be able to rest assured in Qingyuan County. That old fox has connections, prestige, and brains. Wu Fan dare not take it lightly for fear of being calculated by him.
"Sir, why don't we just arrest him directly? It's too passive to wait for him to make the first move." Sun Liang said.
With Wu Fan's current status and ability in Qingyuan County, it would not be difficult at all to capture Ji Pei.
However, Wu Fan shook his head and said, "We can't do that. I'm not afraid that arresting him will cause opposition from the big families in the city. They can't make any waves now. I'm worried about the third prince behind Ji Pei."
"The third prince?" Sun Liang was a little confused.
"Yeah." Wu Fan nodded and said, "It's obvious that Ji Pei is now in contact with the third prince. I always feel that the relationship between the two of them is not ordinary. If Ji Pei is arrested for no reason at this time, the third prince is likely to take the opportunity to make trouble and deliberately make things difficult for us."
Wu Fan has always been suspicious of the relationship between Ji Pei and the third prince, especially after the news that Ji Pei is about to serve as the third prince's staff was exposed, he was even more suspicious of this, and therefore he has not taken tough measures against Ji Pei.
"Can we just wait passively like this?" Sun Liang said.
"No." Wu Fan shook his head: "What you said just now reminded me that we can't just wait like this. Although we can't arrest him by force, we can find a way to make him take the initiative to lure the snake out of the hole."
