It's all the fault of the beautiful women.

The two beauties went shopping together, and the two women had distinct personalities as if they were ice and fire, one was wearing a plain white dress, and the other was wearing a blue suit, they walked on the street, and the return rate was indeed 100%.

No, some short-sighted scoundrels want to surround their two daughters and flirt with them. As a result, he annoyed the beautiful woman in the strong suit who was with Yi Ji.

With this move, those scoundrels jumped and cried for their fathers and mothers.

Liu Xian watched the woman make a move, and vaguely felt the fluctuation of a true qi of internal force, she actually broke through, possessed the true qi of internal force, and became a quasi-military general.

This, Huang Wudie, who was with Liu Xian, also sensed it.

In a head-to-head confrontation without the use of long-range weapons of destruction, no matter how strong an ordinary person is, he is not a real general's opponent. Therefore, Liu Xian didn't need to step forward to help, just stood aside and watched the woman knock the scoundrels to the ground and cry and beg for mercy.

Many of the vendors' stalls on the street were damaged during the fight, and some of them wanted to cry without tears.

The fighting here naturally alarmed the officers and soldiers patrolling the city, but by the time they arrived, they had already fallen to the ground.

These officers and soldiers rushed to the scene and were about to scold, but when they saw this woman, they hurriedly swallowed back the words of scolding.

"It turned out to be Miss Rong, what's wrong? Did these little scoundrels provoke their aunts? Do you want to arrest them all back to the yamen and govern them well? What's the matter, this is the end of the year, and you are still so short-sighted, and you want to go to prison for the Spring Festival? ”

The chief of the patrol officers and soldiers stepped forward to salute the woman, and then he was about to arrest the scoundrels.

However, I only heard the woman step on a scoundrel who seemed to be the leader, waved her hand and reprimanded: "These dog thieves who are not long-eyed, they dare to speak disrespectfully to Miss Ben, this time they will be punished lightly, spare you, if you let Miss Ben know and dare to tease the woman casually, be careful of your dog heads." Good Jicheng has been ruined by dogs like you. Get out of here, Miss Ben! ”

The scoundrels, who had been beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, heard that they had spared them, quickly got up and kowtowed, and then left in a panic.

"You don't have to cry with a sad face, Miss Ben is happy today, your losses are all Miss Ben's, send everything to the Rong Mansion and give you money...... Well, no, send the things to Yijiamei Garden, and then go to the Rong Mansion to get the money. ”

This woman waved her powder fist proudly.

A group of businessmen were overjoyed when they heard this, and they stepped forward to thank them. Originally, many people knew this woman.

Liu Xian saw that the people who were knocked down on the street and suffered damage were all melons and fruits. Liu Xian estimated that Yi Ji had already told the woman about holding a barbecue dinner, and these melon and fruit snacks could also be used.

"It's none of your business, let's go, pay more attention to those guys with unclean hands and feet, this is the New Year, don't let people lose money or anything." The woman waved the patrolling soldiers back.

The soldiers retreated with some respect for her.

Only then did Liu Xian come forward to meet Yi Ji.

"Miss Yi, is she your friend in Jicheng?"

"It's you and Sister Dancing Butterfly, you're done with everything? Have time to hang out? When Yi Ji saw Liu Xian and Huang Wudie, she was a little surprised, her face bloomed like a flower, and her eyebrows were bent into the moon.

Liu Xian didn't tell Yi Ji about herself, so she didn't know what she had already negotiated with Liu Yu.

Liu Xian nodded and said, "It's almost over, I didn't expect it to be so smooth." Next, you can play with peace of mind for a few days. ”

"That's great. Oh, by the way, Rong Yan, this is the most honored guest in my Yi Jiamei Garden, Liu Xian of Liu Mansion in Liulin Village. She is Huang Wudie. Yi Ji saw the woman approaching at this time, grabbed her who was a little confused, introduced Liu Xian, and said to Liu Xian and Huang Wudie: "Liu Gongzi, Wudie, she is Rong Yan, the daughter of General Sima Rongkai, the deputy army of Jicheng. ”

"I just watched Miss Rong teach those hooligans and scoundrels, she has good skills, and she doesn't let her eyebrows, haha, Xiaosheng sees a heroine." Liu Xian greeted Rong Yan and couldn't help but laugh again.

This Rong Yan is also a rare beauty, her beauty is the kind of beauty that is relatively refreshing and clean.

"Hey, it turns out that you are Liu Xian, Yi Ji and she are talking about silkworms in my ear. When I came to Ren's Rong Mansion early in the morning, I opened my mouth to talk about you. I didn't expect ...... Well, so you're just a kid too. ”

"Uh......" Liu Xian's head came out with a black line.

"Gege...... I'm going to tease you, but then again, you're really too young to look like you can do so much as Yi Ji said. ”

"Well, in Miss Rong's heart, how can it be regarded as a great thing?"

"Hehe, don't say it. Are you all right? If it's okay, come with us and take you to a place to play. Rong Yan changed the topic and said: "In Jicheng, Miss Gongzi, who is about the same age as us, is estimated to have gone to Wanhuayuan now." The people we know have also gone, let's invite them to Yi Jiamei Garden tomorrow night. Otherwise, just a few of us, it doesn't seem to be lively enough. ”

"Okay, okay, people haven't been in Jicheng all these years, and many people I knew back then haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Hmph, it's like not seeing each other. The guys we used to play with have changed. Rong Yan snorted twice.

"Let's go, let's go, no matter what, we were friends at the beginning, weren't we? What about meeting? Yi Ji pushed Rong Yan and asked her to lead the way in front.

Yi Ji followed with Liu Xian and Huang Wudie, and told Liu Xian about her today.

It turned out that Yi Ji arrived at General Rong's mansion early in the morning and found Rong Yan.

When the "boudoir" meets, there are naturally endless words. Then Yi Ji told Rong Yan about inviting her to her plum garden to have a party.

This, General Rong Kairong, is the deputy commander of the resident officers and soldiers of the Jicheng Prefecture Government. He and the Yi family are world friends, and a few years ago, Rong Kai was actually just a tun commander in the state army.

That is, it is about the same as the military rank of a county lieutenant. Now that Liu Yu has served as the pastor of Youzhou, this Rong Kai has been promoted again.

In fact, the Han court and the civil and military generals of various states and counties had a strict hierarchy. In addition, the imperial court, as well as the prefectures and counties, all have a fixed number of official and military positions.

The official and military positions under this state pastor are actually the same as those of the Lieutenant Department.

Whether it is the department of the school or the state government, the following official and military positions can be set up.

Sili (state capital) engaged in envoys: 12 people. It is divided into metropolitan officials, gongcao, etc. The official rank is all "100 stones".

Metropolitan officials: responsible for picketing violators among the hundred officials.

Gong Cao is engaged in: in charge of the selection of officials in the state and other things.

Don't drive: Consul General; When the lieutenant patrols the jurisdiction, he is responsible for guiding in the front.

Bookkeeper Cao is engaged in: in charge of money and grain account books.

Bingcao engagement: If there is a military situation, set up a soldier to engage in military affairs.

Ministries and counties: referred to as "ministries and states", one person per county, responsible for supervising documents, picketing illegality, appointed by the states themselves.

False: Twenty-five.

Main book: the general manager of government affairs, provincial documents and files. is a close confidant of the chief, and the power is humble.

Doorman: In charge of state affairs.

Door Gong Cao Shuzuo: Responsible for the selection and appointment of subordinate officials.

"Book of Filial Piety" teacher: responsible for invigilating the "Book of Filial Piety".

"Moon Order" Division: Responsible for holding sacrifices according to the season.

Lawyer: Responsible for legal affairs.

Shuzuo: Responsible for the management of documents and files.

Metropolitan Officials: Assist the Metropolitan Officials in their work.

Clerk: Each county has one person, each of whom is responsible for the clerkship of the county. He shall be reappointed by the county magistrate, and after the expiration of his term of office for one year, he shall be reappointed.

……

There are also various officials below.

If a state is fully staffed, it is actually equivalent to a small court.

But under normal circumstances, it is unlikely that these official positions will be really full. Because every official position has specific requirements for official functions, not everyone can hold and be competent for the job.

In fact, talent is hard to find.

Moreover, today's Han Dynasty, all states and counties, are basically decided by the assassin or the state pastor. And these assassins or state pastors, he will definitely only appoint his confidants and cronies to some major official positions, and it is absolutely impossible to appoint some important official positions that are not his own.

In many cases, it is better to have those official positions vacant and let their henchmen and cronies wear many hats than to appoint people who are not their confidants.

This can also be reflected from Huangfu Song's body, he basically installed his own people to the counties and counties, if it is not necessary, it is not a problem of the situation, and he will definitely not appoint unfamiliar people as officials of the local government. As for the main official positions of the above state capitals, it is impossible for outsiders to enter the officialdom system of this state capital.

This Rong Kai, because he is a local snake, has been stationed in Jicheng and has a wide range of contacts, and Liu Yu can't do without him. However, although Rong Kai was promoted to military Sima, he was also a deputy. and is not included in the ranks of Liu Yu's state officials. I really want to say that Rong Kai is actually a person from the government and military.

Liu Xian listened to Yi Ji talk about the Rong family, but Liu Xian just listened to it, and didn't take it to heart.

After all, this Rong Mansion Rong family does not seem to have a name in the Three Kingdoms. There are too many military generals like him, or government officials at the same level. At this time, it is really a cat and a dog who can get a job as an official in the government.

Like Liu Yu's Youzhou Prefecture, there are so many vacancies in government positions. For these vacant official positions, he will generally only appoint his own people to appoint them, and if there are not so many people, it will only depend on who will spend money to buy these official positions.

That's right, it's selling officials and buying officials. This, in fact, is something of some unspoken rules.

Really, there are few exceptions, even if it is Huangfu Song, although he will not directly collect money and sell officials, he will take care of his own people to some extent. If he has a relationship with him, give him some gifts or something, because of his affection, he will arrange an official position for him.

Well, Yi Ji talked to Liu Xian about the background of the Rong Mansion to tell Liu Xian that this Rong Yan, as Rong Kai's daughter, is also the No. 1 figure in Jicheng. Especially this Rong Yan, who is usually in a hurry, unlike ordinary women, she doesn't like drama makeup and military generals, and if she doesn't agree with her, she will use her fists to teach you a lesson.

At this time, Jicheng was actually in the capital area of later generations. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was indeed the economic, political and cultural center of the north, and it was the location of the Assassin's Palace.

Of course, Jicheng is not far from Youbeiping, strictly speaking, it is actually equivalent to a later Beiping located in the northern region, a region located in the west.

As mentioned earlier, the current Jicheng is not too big, and the city wall is not as majestic as it was in the later Ming and Qing dynasties. Later, Beiping was built later, on the basis of the ancient city.

So, as the state capital, what is available elsewhere, there are actually all here. Even if the whole Jicheng has been slightly depressed, at this time, it is still so lively.

Liu Xian followed Rong Yan and Yi Ji all the way, and saw that there were many shops, inns, restaurants, and many gambling halls and pawnshops, and naturally there were green buildings.

"Wan Garden is not a garden for viewing flowers, but a restaurant with a huge area. However, it is also a little different from ordinary restaurants. Because there is not only food and drink, but also a lot to play. The most important thing is that there are slaves for sale, and the maids in the restaurant can actually pick up customers...... Uh, why are people telling you this? You are not allowed to ...... That ......"

Yi Ji finished talking about the situation of the Rong family, and then gave Liu Xian a science popularization of what the so-called Ten Thousand Gardens was.

Liu Xian said angrily: "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

Liu Xian pretended not to understand.

Well, Liu Xian naturally understands that to put it bluntly, this Ten Thousand Gardens is actually a collection of food and entertainment. It's actually no different from the ordinary Qinglou, and it is estimated that it will be darker than the Qinglou here.

"This ten thousand gardens are amazing, and these guests come from all over the world. The government also liked to hold banquets in the Ten Thousand Gardens in the past, and those officials were also frequent visitors to the Ten Thousand Gardens, and of course, there were also those literati and ink writers, who also liked to join in the excitement. ”

Rong Yan turned around at this time and said: "Let me tell you, today I heard that some special female slaves will be launched in Wanhuayuan, and people heard that they are blue-eyed and blonde, female slaves from the Western Regions. What do you think? Would you like to see it? ”

Liu Xian naturally has no interest, blonde hair and blue eyes, isn't it the characteristic of a foreign girl? A woman from the Western Regions, estimated to be a minority ethnic group in the Western Regions, was caught here and sold.

However, during this Han Dynasty, there really didn't seem to be too many pure white people in China.

The current Western Regions should be the most powerful Xiongnu tribe, but the Xiongnu are not white.

"Blonde? So weird? So, isn't that ugly? Like a monster? ”

Yi Ji and Huang Wudie were a little curious, because in their minds, people's hair was black and their eyes were black. If it weren't for the black hair and black eyes, they would find it weird and even ugly, because it didn't fit their aesthetics.

"Gege...... It's all human, how can it be a monster? Besides, they are really not ugly, and they are very beautiful, and the most enviable thing is that their skin is very white, as white as transparent. Well, let's not talk about it, it's almost there, and you'll see soon. ”

Rong Yanjiao smiled and pointed ahead.
