"Being an official? This one...... Ren really didn't think much about it...... After all, our Ren family has no roots, and our career is sinister, so we don't want to make that troubled water. Our Ren family, although not as good as those rich and powerful families, let alone some famous and wealthy families, but we are conscientious, dedicate ourselves to the public, and live such a life of sunrise and sunset. ”

Ren Jun said with some hesitation.

"Master Ren, you're too worried, in fact, I think you should be clear. The head of the Ren family, you are also a man with a big heart, always worried about the people, and a person with ambition and knowledge. You don't want your talents to be buried, do you? If you want to show your talents, then you need a stage. The stage is too high, and I Liu Xian can't give it back to you for the time being, but I think there should be no problem in sponsoring you to be the master of a county. ”

Liu Xian said seriously to Ren Jun: "Well, there is one thing that needs to be made clear. Because it is sponsored by Ben Hou, then you are actually equivalent to representing me Liu Xian and representing my Liu Xian's will. Nominally, you are indeed the lord of Zhongmu County, and you are assisting the county order in governing Zhongmu County. But in fact, in the entire Zhongmu County, you will have the final say, all the big and small affairs, you can make your own decisions, the current Zhongmu County government of the county order, county officials, county lieutenants and so on, they will instead assist you to govern Zhongmu County. Therefore, if you agree to take office, then your responsibility is relatively heavy, and the quality of Zhongmu County also depends on your talent and governance. ”

"What? The county ordered them all to listen to a little master thin? Officials of the government, can they listen? When Ren Jun heard this, he was a little confused, and he didn't quite understand what Liu Xian said.

"Huh." Liu Xian couldn't help but smile and said, "Master Ren, there are some things, I'm afraid it's difficult to explain clearly for a while." I'll just talk about it briefly. ”

"Please Wu Yonghou to solve your doubts, Ren...... I really haven't heard of a small boss who can preside over the big and small government affairs of a county, let alone those officials who have to listen to the lord. Ren Jun was really curious.

"This may start with the overall situation of Dahan." Liu Xian stood up, walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back, and then looked far away, and said with a sigh: "There have long been rumors among the people, saying that the Han Dynasty is about to run out and the world is in chaos, but these are not groundless. We, big men, are actually in chaos. I believe that the head of the Ren family has already seen and understood this. Let's ask, in the Han world today, where can the people live and work in peace and contentment without worry? The people are difficult to live comfortably, and their lives are sad. Such a big man, how can he not be chaotic? ”

Liu Xian looked back, looked at Ren Jun and said: "A few years ago, the Yellow Turban Army rioted, which was tantamount to sounding the alarm bell of the Han Dynasty. Then, those aliens who have not died in the heart of our Han for thousands of years are ready to move, and these are the harbingers of turmoil in my Han. And then what? It's the internal problem of our big man. Nowadays, from top to bottom, the government decrees are not good and incomprehensible, and it feels like each state and county is doing its own thing, and it is difficult for the imperial court to control and govern it. Of course, this is actually because the imperial court does not have the ability to govern the places one by one. Know why? ”

"I heard it all in detail." Ren Jun also stood up and bowed to Liu Xian.

"The imperial court, now it is actually a situation where the imperial power is falling, and it has long been controlled by the eunuchs in the palace. In addition, there are powerful ministers and relatives, etc., they are all for their own interests and to collect money. In addition, the prefectures and counties of Dahan are indeed in a state of self-government. Nominally, they still obeyed the orders of the imperial court, and even the officials of the prefectures and counties were appointed or dismissed by the imperial court. But the imperial court is indeed unable to govern the states and counties. For the time being, it is barely stable, but if anything happens to the imperial court, then the time will come...... Hehe, I'm afraid it's really going to be messed up. ”

Ren Jun is just the patriarch of a local family, and he really doesn't have a deep understanding of the court and the world, so now that he listens to Liu Xian's words, he can't help but feel a little heavy in his heart.

He did faintly feel that today's Han is indeed unsatisfactory, and it always makes people feel a little uneasy.

"Listening to your words, it's better to read for ten years, Ren is just a mountain villager, and he usually only has one and three points of land in his eyes, and he really doesn't realize that our big man is in such a situation." Ren Jun bowed to Liu Xian.

Liu Xian waved his hand again and said, "The head of the Ren family is a man with lofty ideals. I don't think you want to see your hometown affected by the chaos one day. When that time really comes, I am afraid that it will be a problem of how to finish the eggs under the nest. ”

"I want to ask the head of the Ren family to go out of the mountain and preside over the affairs of Zhongmu County. The main thing is, first, I hope that the head of the family can govern Zhongmu County well, so that the people of Zhongmu County can restore normal production and life order. Let the people live and work in peace and contentment as much as possible. Second, in case, when this big man really reaches the point where the general trend is inevitable and chaotic, Zhongmu County can still maintain a happy land in this troubled world. Do not let Zhongmu County also fall into that kind of situation where the people are not able to make a living. ”

Liu Xian looked at Ren Jun with burning eyes and said: "Actually, don't talk about the future, just say that now, the one who can save himself is actually himself." If Zhongmu County does not restore the order of production and life as soon as possible, then there is no need to wait for the future, and it will quickly become chaotic now. In this case, can you Ren family still be alone? Sometimes, people should take the world as their own responsibility, and at a critical time, stand up and do something meaningful for the Han and the people. In this way, it is not in vain to come to this world. ”

Ren Jun couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

In fact, how could he have been willing to stick to the Ren family all the time? He also studied hard for ten years, and he also thought about becoming an official and glorifying his ancestors. However, when he was successful in his studies, he found that wanting to become an official was not as simple as he imagined. As he said earlier, although his Ren family is also a big family in Zhongmu County, there is no one in the family who is an official, and there is no one in the court.

In this way, if he wants to become an official, then he must spend a lot of money to donate a one-and-a-half official position. But does it make sense? Poor your family's financial resources and donate an official position for yourself. So can you make up for the money you paid for being an official? Obviously, that's not possible. So, do you also go with the flow, learn from those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and desperately search for the people's fat and ointment for the officials?

Actually, even if that's the case, it doesn't necessarily work. Because, even greed requires skill. He has no one in the court, and when others say that they want to take him, they will take him down, and if they buy an official today, they can remove him tomorrow. There is also the possibility of being put on small shoes, which can cause a big disaster.

Ren Jun saw through the officialdom environment of the Han Dynasty at that time, so he ran his Ren family with discouragement and peace of mind.

Now, Liu Xian is a little moved by what he said.

Of course, he also understands that if he agrees, then it will be equivalent to climbing the big tree of Liu Xian, and then it will be equivalent to someone in the court in the future. Then, he is equivalent to Liu Xian's person. This is to ask him to serve Liu Xian.

But is there anything wrong with serving Liu Xian?

No problem at all. Liu Xian is famous, he is in Zhongmu County, and he has also heard of Liu Xian's name. Today's big man, if there is anyone who makes him admire, it may be Liu Xian. Because of some of the things Liu Xian did, it was indeed for the sake of the Han people. Now the Han, the people who have been rescued by Liu Xian, don't know how many there are, who doesn't say hello to Liu Xian?

At this time, Ren Jun's heart had already agreed.

However, he still asked respectfully again: "Then Marquis Wu Yong, if Ren Mou takes the position of the lord of Zhongmu County, but this official position and functions can only obey the orders of the county order, how can they all obey Ren Mou?" How could they act according to Ren's advice? ”

"Haha, please rest assured, Master Ren. Today, the officials in Zhongmu County are almost all incompetent and mediocre people. said that they would help you govern Zhongmu County, but in fact, they couldn't count on it at all. There are many things, you can act in the name of the Zhongmu County government. Let's put it this way, in the name of my Liu Xian, you have implemented some governance strategies in Zhongmu County. The first thing you have to do is to control the officers and soldiers of the government in Zhongmu County, in order to cooperate with you, I will give you 200 men and horses, so that, plus the officers and soldiers of Zhongmu County, there will be at least 400 men and horses for you to deploy. What if you add the children of your family? Not to mention too much, there should always be three or four hundred centaurs, right? In addition, villages and towns below the county level can build separate village and town pavilions, and each pavilion can have local guards ranging from 10 or dozens of people. All these officers and men in all fields are under your direct order. Think about it, you have thousands of people in your hands, those county orders or something, do you dare not cooperate with your governance plan? ”

"Thousands of people?" Ren Jun couldn't help but shudder. Because he never thought of controlling and governing a county through such a method. It's a little exciting to think about.

If you have the final say in a county, then you can let go and show your talents.

"How? No problem, right? Liu Xian looked at him encouragingly and said, "You are in Zhongmu County, you can do whatever you want." I, Liu Xian, am your strongest backing, and I will take care of anything above. However, I only want to see one result, that is, to restore the order of production and life to the people of Zhongmu County as soon as possible. Moreover...... You're also going to have to get these centaurs to form a certain amount of combat power. When necessary, this group of people is to play the important task of protecting Zhongmu County. No matter what happens in the Han world in the future, but you, Zhongmu County, can't be messed up. Of course, if there are foreign forces and people who threaten Zhongmu County, Ben Hou will naturally not sit idly by, and will definitely come to help. ”

"Good! Since Marquis Wu Yong is so important and trusts me so much, then I am not hypocritical. Ren Jun was willing to act according to the orders of Marquis Wu Yong. If Wu Yonghou does not give up, then Ren is willing to worship Wu Yong Hou as the Lord, and in the future, swear to follow Wu Yong Hou, and you Wu Yong Hou will serve the work of dogs and horses! ”

Ren Jun walked out and bowed in front of Liu Xian.

Liu Xian did convince him.

Ren Jun knows very well that if there is really a day when the world is in turmoil, then his Ren family is nothing. And Liu Xian is one of his nobles, as long as he takes refuge in Liu Xian, then he really has a backer.

Historically, he did not hesitate to vote for Cao Cao, because the Han Dynasty was in chaos at that time, and it was difficult for his Ren family to be alone. Therefore, for his own sake or for the sake of the entire Ren family, he must take refuge in someone who can protect the safety of his Ren family. As for Yang Yuan, the county magistrate of Zhongmu County at that time, he had already seen that he was a person who had no ability, and there would be no way out if he followed Yang Yuan.

Liu Xian hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. Naturally, he was even happier in his heart, because Liu Xian didn't expect to be able to convince Ren Jun. Now it seems that he has come to the right place, and since then he has another rare talent under his hands.

This is Cao Cao's logistics talent. Digging Cao Cao's wall foot, it's really cool.

Then, Liu Xian talked to him about some aspects of things, and also talked to him about some situations in Yangshi County, Liulin City, and most recently, Zengshan County. Liu Xian talked to him about this so that he could have a reference. In view of the current situation in Zhongmu County, he needs to start how to deal with it.

Also, Liu Xian will send some more people to coerce Ren Jun.

In the evening, he had a banquet at Ren's house and spent the night at Ren's house.

The next day, Liu Xian returned to the county seat with Ren Jun, and then went directly to the official office.

After the past few days, Yang Yuan and other county officials really have no way, and they have never come up with some feasible strategies for governing Zhongmu County.

Under such circumstances, Liu Xian didn't have the patience to say anything more to them. It directly shows that if they still want to continue to be officials in Zhongmu County safely, and they no longer have to worry about the sharp money that the government keeps urging them to pay, then they must obey their own orders and arrangements. In this way, they may be able to keep their official positions.

The current situation is that if Liu Xian is willing to solve the problem for them, then they will agree no matter what.

In this way, Liu Xian directly announced that Ren Jun would be the head of Zhongmu County, and Ren Jun would govern Zhongmu County on his own behalf, and they, the county officials, could only cooperate. If anyone dares to disobey, then he will directly ask the imperial court to remove their official positions and let a suitable person take over their official positions.

Then, Liu Xian wrote a letter directly in front of them to their upper government, which was actually Chenliu County, stating that Zhongmu County would not pay the taxes they collected for the time being. The reason Liu Xian didn't say, so he asked the Chenliu County government to talk to him directly if there was a problem. However, in the letter, Liu Xian also promised that Zhongmu County would pay taxes in a year according to normal circumstances. But some unreasonable endowments, Zhongmu County will not pay again, if in doubt, let them continue to find themselves.

In this way, it is equivalent to Liu Xian taking their responsibilities for the officials of Zhongmu County.
