Chapter Ninety-Nine: Yang Jie's Scruples
"Han clan relatives? Are you saying that this Liu Xian is a member of the Han family, and there are people in the court behind him? Is this true or false? Are you sure? ”
After listening to Wen Shen's words, the county commander Yang Jie was shocked again. In fact, the Han clan is not strange, he is worried that there are people behind others, and he is afraid that he will not be able to offend.
"It's true! This kind of thing can't be fake, who dares to say that they are relatives of the Han family? Moreover, this reputation has spread, and if it is a fake, how many heads he has are not enough for the imperial court to cut off. Wen Shen affirmed.
"If Liu Xian is really a member of the Han family...... So he did not hesitate to spend so much money and food to help the people, in order to make such a reputation? ”
"This subordinate doesn't know the thoughts of those young masters. However, the county magistrate can rest assured that there will be no chaos in Yang's County. Since Liu Xian is a relative of the Han family, then it is absolutely impossible for him to incite those people to rebel, right? Estimated ......"
Wen Shen said, and seemed to be a little secretive.
Wen Shen knew very well that he had to stop the county order Yang Jie from sabotaging Liu Xian's soup kitchen. For this reason, he had already thought about the various situations that he might encounter in his heart.
In the end, he believes that this must still focus on the point, that is, the interests of things.
He knew that the county commander Yang Jie was nothing more than worried that Liu Xian would give porridge in Yang's County, which made him famous, so that everyone in Yang's County supported Liu Xian. This will seriously affect his prestige and status as a county magistrate in Yang's County. Then he was worried that Liu Xian had other intentions, one of which was to rebel, and the other was that he was afraid that after Liu Xian won the love and support of Yang's County, he would have substantial control over Yang's County.
The other thing is that it will affect their interests.
Therefore, Wen Shen now just wants Yang Jie to know that his current interests have been linked to Liu Xian and Liu Xian's behavior of giving porridge. If he still wants to get the huge amount of money that is sold to the government at a high price. Then one must first govern Yang's County, and the other is to have a good relationship with Liu Xian.
Governing Yang's County well is the only defensible excuse for him to report to the above, ask for merit for Yang's County, and apply to the above for the allocation of money. Otherwise, so much grain was purchased in the name of the government, and as a result, Yangshi County was still in a state of famine among the people. Why did your Yang County government apply for such a huge amount of money from the government above or even the imperial court?
Yang Jie must understand this truth.
In addition, this does not mean that if there is an excuse to apply for the transfer of money from above, the above will definitely transfer the amount in full. After all, this is not a small amount, who doesn't love money? Your Yang's county has made meritorious contributions, but the amount of money is too amazing, right? How can it be easily allocated and issued? In such a situation, if someone in the court said a few words, then the situation would be different. As long as the above agrees, then the money can come down.
Only in this way can Yang Jie and the others really get that huge amount of money.
"I don't care what Liu Xian's purpose and intentions are, but I still have the final say in this Yang County. He didn't even say hello now, and directly made such a big move in Yangshi County. Does he have me in his eyes? Since we plan to give soup to the people in our Yang County, why don't you inform the county order in advance? ”
Yang Jie really has a deep grudge against this Liu Xian now. He felt that he was despised by Liu Xian, how can he say that he is the head of a county, you are making trouble on my land, shouldn't you say hello to the county order first?
"That, Lord County Commander, this Liu Xian's son, is actually only sixteen years old, sometimes what he does depends on his youthful temperament, how can he do everything he can? What's more......" Wen Shen lowered his head, glanced at Yang Jie secretly, and said: "Lord County Order, according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, the Lord Hou who has the title of Marquis, and the Xiangguo of a county, these are in the county, and the status of the Lord of the County Order is on par with the status of the Lord of the County Order. It's just that they don't usually have real power, and it is the business of the county order to govern a county, but they have the power to supervise and inspect whether the county order is competent, and when there is no county order or the county order is not there, they have the power to exercise the duties of the county order on behalf of the county order...... In addition, they have the power to impeach the county decree to the higher government and the imperial court. ”
"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”
"Ahem...... "Ahem" Wen Shen coughed twice and said: "The subordinate means that if Liu Xian is really a member of the Han family, then he is at least a nobleman, and may even be a marquis...... In this way, I am afraid that the status is no longer under the county order. Coupled with Liu Xian's youthful temperament, he can do whatever he wants, so naturally he will not specifically inform the county order. ”
Wen Shen said that the subtext of these is that according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, if Liu Xian is really a relative of the Han family, and if the family itself has the title of Hou Ye, then it means that Liu Xian's status is no longer below you. Besides, you have not done anything in Yang's County, and you have not governed Yang's County at all, so people have the right to exercise the duties of the county order, so why should they inform you?
Of course, these are just what Wen Shen said in order to stabilize the county order Yang Jie. He knew that Liu Xian was a relative of the Han family, but he didn't know whether Liu Xian had the title of marquis. But he said to Yang Jie, the county commander, that there was nothing wrong with it, and it was reasonable to explain it. This is true and false, so that Yang Jie unconsciously believes in Liu Xian's identity.
At this moment, Yang Jie really had some scruples.
Liu Xian has an identity and background, and he really can't take Liu Xian well.
"But the official still felt a little uneasy. Do you just let him go on like this? Yang Jie was really a little unwilling, thinking in his heart, even if it didn't work openly, he would have to find a way to mess things up in secret, and then drive this Liu Xian out of his Yang County.
"What else would you do? The county magistrate, his subordinates estimate that this Liu Xian may just want a folk reputation. Moreover, the truth is that the Han clan relatives have some traditions, and many of them are like ordinary people, anonymous, but whenever the world is in turmoil, or when natural and man-made disasters occur, they have ancestral teachings and have the responsibility to stand up and assist the Son of Heaven to appease the people. As it is now, it is only their duty to give to the people. Therefore, the county magistrate should not worry about letting Liu Xian toss. ”
"Really? Do the Han clan relatives still have such ancestral teachings? "Yang Jie is really a little lonely.
"Not long ago, Liu Bei, the leader of a rebel army under the account of General Huangfu Song, was a relative of the Han family. In addition, Liu Yan, the Taishou of Youzhou, Liu Yu of Qingheguo, etc., are all relatives of the Han family. Aren't they doing the work of assisting the Son of Heaven to support the Han family? Wen Shen cited several names as examples.
Yang Jie raised his hand at this time and said: "In this case, it seems that I really have to meet this Liu Xian, whether to let him continue to give soup soup in Yang's County, let's wait until I meet him in person first." ”
