Brother Zao agreed to leave, but it was not the beginning of a solution, but the beginning of trouble.

Because the country is so big, with 21 continents (provinces), 173 counties (cities), and countless counties (townships), Brother Zao chose two counties that are most prone to war in history, crying and shouting that he wants to go there to be a taishou (basically equal to the mayor).

Where to become an official, for the Wei family, in fact, is not a difficulty, as long as Brother Zao wants to go, they can operate, but the problem is that they don't want Wei Qi to go to the two places that Wei Qi chose.

"Xihe County in Bingzhou is so close to Xihe Country that the Han and Zhao regimes raised troops in the chaos of China that it seems that there is no distinction between you and me; Tuoba Liuxiu conjured up a more intuitive map of the war in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty for Wei Jue in [Illusion], and highlighted the two counties that Brother Zao wanted to go to with red circles, "Can you interview him for me what he thinks?" ”

Wei Jue's face was black the whole time. If he knew, he wouldn't be so worried. If it weren't for the conviction that the stupid Brother Zao didn't have such strong acting skills, Wei Jue would have wondered if Brother Zao also had some golden fingers that their whole family hadn't discovered, so he wanted to go to these two counties to realize his dream of being a hero.

"Didn't your grandfather plan for him?"

"This is my grandfather's test, and I want to see Brother Zao's vision of choosing a place to work. If Brother Zao's choice is not bad, and he really wants to enjoy the scenery of that place, then it satisfies him, as compensation for transferring him out. ”

Wei Jue has read a lot of novels before, in which the protagonist is released, there is always a theory that the poorer the county, the easier it is to produce results.

But...... Actually, it's very, uh, how to say it, very brain-opening but useless thoughts.

The Western Jin Dynasty continued the official assessment system of the Han Dynasty, which was a "Shijin system" of "Shangji" + "supervision" + "election and examination two-in-one".

It's too complicated to say it all, so let's just take the "upper calculation" system as an example.

"Counting" is actually the tax situation in various places. Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the operation method is roughly like this:

The county ordinance of each county shall compile the county's household registration and the entry and exit of the money valley into a book, and submit it to the county;

After compiling the tax revenue, the county guard (taishou) will make two copies of the budget for tax revenue, and a copy of the wooden coupon will be sent to the central government for review;

The wooden coupon is divided into two, the emperor holds the right coupon and the subordinates hold the left coupon;

At the end of the year, when the tax money really received is sent to the central government, the two are paired, and the merits of the officials' achievements in a year will also come out.

Coupled with the public opinion of the body, diligent people, orphan support, and cultivation, the three-year term is small, and the six-year term is full, and the sum determines the promotion and promotion of official positions.

Simple and straightforward.

It couldn't have been more just and fair.

But in fact, it is full of hidden dangers, such as the advance revenue sent at the beginning of the year, which is not actually a figure that the county guard can really decide, but a figure that is apportioned to various localities according to the expenditure of the state in a year. It's good to be able to complete it, but if you can't finish it, you have to work hard to complete it. Although the imperial court will appropriately consider the required figures according to the situation in different places, once it is mentioned that "moderation" is decided according to people's subjective assumptions, it will not be a good thing.

Let's put it this way.

A wealthy county, the tax limit that can be borne (counting all kinds of oppression and exploitation) is 100, the imperial court asked for 50 at the beginning, and then it was going to war, which increased to 75, no matter what, the county guard can be satisfied, and even a little cruel to the people can be exceeded.

And a poor county can only bear the limit of 50, the court at the beginning of the 40, and later the war, increased to 55.

Speaking of which, it seems that the imperial court still takes care of the poor counties, you see, we have increased by 25 on the rich county side, and we have only increased by 15 on your side. But those 25 are just a small thing for the rich county to sprinkle water, but these 15 can force the Taishou of the poor county to hang himself, and he really can't get a little surplus food.

No matter how big the traverser's golden finger is, it is impossible to improve the soil this year and double his income next year, right? How can it be a process, so what should be done with the performance of the traverser who stayed in the poor county in the years when it is not doubled? When the traverser finally got it right, the traverser's term of office expired, and he was transferred to another county to start from scratch, and the fruit of the trees he had planted before was just picked by his successor.

As a matter of fact, this kind of performance appraisal of officials, which does not take into account the development vision and only looks at the present, is also full of hidden dangers in modern times.

In order to dismantle it here and there, in order to quickly dismantle it here, dismantle it there, and finally he was full of performance, patted his ass and left, but he didn't consider whether it was possible to leave a mess after he left, after all, it was not him who had already affected him. And if you are a little more selfish, you may even have a good project at hand, and as soon as you see that you can't complete it during your tenure, you will run aground, because you don't want to cheapen your successor for nothing.

This is already relatively shallow, and it is suitable for Wei Jue to understand at this stage. More officialdom is thick and black, and Tuoba Liuxiu can't bear to tell him. It's just that after he has a rough score in his heart, he stops at the point.

It is unrealistic to choose a poor county, but it is not necessarily good to choose a rich county, because it may not be able to fight over the intricate local gate valves.

Therefore, when the Wei family's uncle Wei was transferred abroad, he was directly sent back to Wei's hometown Hedong County by the old man Wei. There are only three families in Hedong County, one is the Wei family, and the other is the in-law Pei family, when the two families that account for the majority are on Wei Mi's side, the other family is not important. Coupled with the long-prepared borer disaster, this has achieved a good official reputation of Wei Mi.

Brother Zao is not suitable for copying this road, because this is the road prepared by Old Man Wei for the eldest son who does not need to make a big difference. If Brother Zao was greedy for comfort and chose Hedong County, he would probably be smoked by Old Man Wei and even his parents didn't know him.

The Wei family is rising, and what is needed is not the master of the master, but the master of the family who has the courage, dares to fight, and can mediate among everyone.

But Old Man Wei never thought that Wei Qi's fighting spirit was a bit too hardworking.

"Do you know what two places you chose?"

"Yes. Wei Qi told Old Man Wei the reason with great interest, he didn't know that there would be an uprising in these two places before he went, but he felt that there might be an uprising, so he went.

Yes, Wei Qi actually went for the purpose of suppressing the uprising.

"I can't do farming," Brother Zao felt that whether the crops in the field were rising well or not, it was God's business, and he couldn't decide. So if he wants to make outstanding achievements, the kind of achievements that can be a blockbuster, he can only go sideways, "I have inquired carefully, and the Xiongnu in the Xihe State of Bingzhou are ready to move, and there are Di people in Yizhou, and the leaders of the two tribes are very ambitious and impossible to feel at ease." Now that they are in full swing, they are just short of the last push. It may be a natural disaster, it may be **, if I can nip it in the bud, this is a real military feat!"

The head of Brother Zao's analysis is the Tao, who said that gossip is useless? He has summarized and refined the key information from various gossip.

“…… Have you ever considered that if something like this happens in the local area, the county guard is also responsible?"

"I've definitely thought about it, so I chose the county next door. And I have a reason to send troops to help, right? "Wei Qi said that he wanted to exchange his brother's military merits for a knighthood, but it was not groundless, if it was peaceful today, where did the military merits come from? In order to find these hidden dangers, is it easy for him? He also has to run in the relationship with the local people in charge of the army, which is very tiring!

"Can you put your brain to good use?!"

It is said that when Old Man Wei shouted this sentence in a full rage, his voice was so loud that everyone outside the courtyard heard it.

Wei Jue silently lit a candle in his heart for his fearless brother of the ignorant. To tell the truth, even he didn't dare to provoke Old Man Wei to be so angry, after all, Old Man Wei is generally not angry, and the result after being angry is always to kill you directly, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and leave no hidden dangers. Wei Qian will definitely not deng death to Wei Qi, but he can also rectify him, and he feels that he might as well be killed directly.

"I only hope that Brother Ah can have the consciousness of not continuing to die. ”

Obviously, if he had this awareness, he wouldn't need to be sent out for training.

After a long time, Wei Qi plucked up his courage and looked at his grandfather cautiously and said, "Ah Weng, am I guessing wrong?"

"...... "So you have been reflecting for a long time, and you feel that you are wrong, but you are just speculating in the wrong place, and you don't feel that you are wrong at all about your set of meritorious service theories? It's not that Wei Qi is wrong, it's because he guessed too right that Old Man Wei is worried. He sent his heir out to exercise, not to die.

Just when Old Man Wei was about to say something more, some people couldn't stand the pressure, so they had to disturb the conversation between the grandparents and grandchildren, knocked on the door to report that Erniang had an accident.
