Chapter 64 Good money is hard to give

In the afternoon, Li Luo came to the county guard yamen without delay. He took out the one-inch square copper seal of Duzhai, showed it to the guards at the entrance of the ya, and entered the palace smoothly.

This is the advantage of officials, who can meet Shangguan at any time in the name of official business. Shangguan can't do it if he doesn't see it.

"Xiaguan Li Luo, meet the prince."

Li Luo saluted without being humble or arrogant, and took out three pairs of silver bottles by the way, "I am very ashamed that I failed to pay New Year's greetings to adults during the New Year." Just white iron, talk about the table with heart. If the adults want to resign, it will make it difficult for the officials. ”

Zheng Lu has reduced a lot compared to four months ago, which shows that this official is not doing well.

"Hehe, Li Duzhai is outside, why do you need to be like this, why do you need to be like this!" Zheng Lu twisted his beard and smiled, he was not a capable minister, but he was rarely approachable and kind. If you don't show yourself in a high position, you will be high and low.

He was wearing a moon-white Confucian robe, wearing a scarf on his head, and he was dressed as a Yanju of a Han family doctor, and he looked good.

Although the king of Goryeo, in order to flatter Kublai Khan, issued a ridiculous order two years ago to "shave his hair and change to wear fur", he himself took the lead in shaving his hair and changing his clothes. However, Goryeo officials have been Confucianized for a long time, and they despise the ugliness of the bearded and left-handed, and most of them refuse to obey the edict. The king of Goryeo had no choice but to let it go.

"Lord Fujun has a clean and elegant demeanor, which really makes the officials feel broken. I haven't seen him for months, and Xia Guan has been thinking about it. Li Luo said with a little sensual flattery.

It turns out that Goryeo officials especially love "beauty and etiquette", to put it bluntly, they love beauty too much, and they like others to praise themselves for being beautiful. In later generations, Korean plastic surgery technology was unique in the world, and it was not without cultural traditions.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Zheng Lu suddenly became even more happy.

"Li Langjun met the church today, and the hall was very relieved." Zheng Lu changed the title of "Li Duzhai" to "Li Langjun" without a trace, which showed a lot of closeness.

In his opinion, Li Luo is obviously "very sensible and polite", and he does appreciate it.

Li Luo knelt opposite Zheng Lu and reported the matter of Xiang Yong.

He certainly won't tell the truth. It is only said that Xiang Yong is close to fullness. Because the Goryeo people are unwilling, they use the Central Plains refugees.

Li Luo's expression, in Zheng Lu's sound, is that the village warrior is almost full, and he has also started some simple training, although it is still a rabble, but if the pirates attack, it can also play a role.

In short, it is unsatisfactory, it can be used, at least it is enough to perfunctory the past, and it is not all in name.

To be honest, Zheng Lu is already very satisfied.

He never expected Li Luozhen to train Xiang Yong into an elite soldier, that was simply unrealistic.

It is not easy to use it once.

He didn't expect that this Li Luo was young, but he had a bit of courage and skillful ability, which was exactly the subordinate he urgently needed at present.

Nowadays, the entire officialdom is gloomy, and everyone is perfunctory and perfunctory to protect themselves, but they seek no fault and no merit. Officials who eat vegetarian meals abound, all greedy for pleasure and selfishness, and only know how to talk about flies and dogs. However, hard-working officials who have the courage to do things are rare.

Li Luo is not only willing to do things, but also well-behaved. There is not a single superior who is dissatisfied with such a subordinate.

Zheng Lu thought to himself: "If Li Luo is allowed to take over as the deputy envoy of the regimental training and help me solve the problem of conscription next year, it will be very appropriate." I'm afraid he doesn't want to. ”

Zheng Lu had interviewed several petty officials before, but those few people all said that they were incompetent and had the intention to resign. In their opinion, it is hard work to train the villagers to cope with the conscription of military service, and if something happens, they have to ask for the guilt, which is a dangerous road, and the gentleman does not do it.

After all, it is impossible for them to subsidize Xiang Yong with their own private money like Li Luo. If the court does not allocate money and food, how can they do it?

Zheng Lu is not good at forcibly appointing this chicken rib official position. Because, even if the other party takes it, it is impossible to be honest and attentive, and it will not solve the problem after all.

Speaking of which, it's still a matter of money and food.

But the government has always been overstretched, where is the money and food to spend on Xiangyong?

Zheng Lu naturally knew that Li Luo used his private money to subsidize Xiang Yong. However, in his opinion, this is Li Luo's young and vigorous and earnest meritorious service, in order to gain the recognition of Shangguan and his family as soon as possible, and "sacrifice wealth and meritorious service".

Zheng Lu felt that Li Luo was a little "stupid", but he "liked" Li Luo's "stupidity".

Thinking of this, Zheng Lu first praised Li Luo's young talent, his future is limitless, and his return to the family is just around the corner. Then he mentioned the matter of the deputy envoy of the regimental training.

"As a child of the world, you are a young talent, but you only do the Jiupin Duzhai, you are really wronged, but it hurts the heart of the hall." Zheng Lu smiled.

Here it comes! Li Luo's spirit was shocked, and he bowed: "Lord Fujun values the lower officials so much, he is sincerely afraid, how fortunate is it?" The elevation of the prince is already a great favor. The prince of the palace said this, and the lower officials did not dare to accept it. ”

Zheng Lu was very satisfied with Li Luo's performance, nodded and smiled: "It's over." Now, although the parish has the intention to lift you up, it is not an easy errand after all. Do you dare to take it? ”

Li Luo pretended to be a "hot-blooded boy", and didn't ask what the errand was, so he said "stupidly": "Thank you, thank you!" But there is a life, and it is not unforgiving! The adults are so trusted, Xia Guan'an dares to retreat! ”

Zheng Lu laughed and said, "Okay, it's really a young talent, and the tiger spirit is commendable!" ”

"The prince of the mansion is falsely praised, and he is ashamed!" Li Luo Zhengse said.

Zheng Lu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Now there is the position of deputy envoy of the Jianghua regiment, which is the official position of the eighth grade. Since you have the heart to suppress the bandits and calm down, this official position is more suitable for you..."

Sure enough, he was put in charge of the township Yong training in Nansi Township, and Cui Xiuning's intelligence was not bad at all.

Li Luo deliberately showed a "difficult face" and muttered: "Fujun, the lower officials heard that this county will send 5,000 military service days next year, is it ......?"

Zheng Lu smiled bitterly: "Not bad." Alas, it's not a triad to make trouble? They attacked and killed Turnuma in their own county, which angered the royal court and the Yuan court, so they added 3,000 soldiers. Tomorrow March, the county must muster five thousand useful troops. Now there is a lot of shortage, and it can only be supplemented by Xiangyong. ”

Li Luo said: "So that's the case, the prince has always loved the people like a son, and it is really difficult to be an adult with such a heavy military service." ”

Zheng Lu nodded: "There are only 100,000 people in this county, but they have to bear 5,000 military service." Moreover, the Yuan court ordered that all military service must be used and must not be perfunctory. If the enemy is defeated, he will be punished. Therefore, the parish is very difficult. ”

Li Luo "hesitated", gritted his teeth and said: "The lower officials have always admired the elegance and generosity of the princes, the generous and compassionate subordinates, the loyal monarchs and the love of the people, and they are the models of my generation. The lower officials are willing to share the worries of the prince of the mansion and make every effort to repay the grace of the monarch of the mansion! ”

Zheng Lu's heart was relieved, he straightened up, and praised: "Li Langjun really has a responsibility, and he will be able to take on a great responsibility in the future!" With you taking over this position, the parish will naturally have no worries! This church knows that you must spend a lot of personal money to train the village bravery. This church will have a plan in the future, and if you don't let it be ruined..."

Li Luo hurriedly bowed: "The prince of the palace is serious, and the lower officials are also officials of the imperial court, so they want to share their worries with the imperial court." Although the lower officials don't have much money, they don't care much about yellow and white things. As long as you can do things, money and other things. ”

Although Li Luo said this, he was full of slander in his heart: You Zheng Fujun are not less corrupt and bribe-taking, and there must be a lot of money, if you really want to pay for the preparation of Xiangyong, why is it difficult? It's just that you can't get in or out, and it's hard to give up your money.
