Now that he has finally realized the true meaning of "looking at the white office", and realizing that since he came to the county, he did not say "three days and one day", almost diligent to the daily director, but still difficult to govern, the fundamental reason is because there is a lack of a "major policy"; Xin Er is eager to make changes to the mistakes.

However, the "major policy" cannot be thought up at once.

The mainstream idea of the moment is the way of Lao Zhuang.

The superficial meaning of "looking at the white and empty" is actually the Taoist meaning of "non-action".

This is also the reason why superficial people such as Zhang Daojiang will understand these four words as "those who don't do things are expensive".

Put it in the sea, the appearance, the north Hu Nantang, the heroes compete; Looking inside, the Tang and Hu in Dingxi are mixed, the situation is complicated, and the danger of invasion of strong enemies is always in danger, at this time, Xin Er does not recognize that the popular Lao Zhuang can become the guiding ideology of his government.

Lao Zhuang is not feasible, so Xin Er pondered and asked for it from elsewhere.

It is known that the current era is roughly equivalent to the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Combined with what he heard in his previous life, the first thing he thought of was the Western Han Dynasty's policy of "external Confucianism and internal law" and "overlord and miscellaneous"; Then I thought of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Confucianism was truly unique, and the imperial court attached great importance to ethics and the main political idea of "learning from scriptures".

However, these two policies of governing the country do not need to be thought about carefully, and after only a little thought, we know that they cannot be applied to the present.

The time and space where Xin Er's previous life was located, there are roughly two reasons for the rise of the Wei, Jin, and Qing dynasties in history.

One is that during the Wei and Jin dynasties, the rulers pretended to put on the cloak of Confucianism for their own selfishness, and wantonly played with the political order, which caused the collapse of etiquette and music, led to social chaos, and caused a violent contradiction between the political ideals of Confucianism and the cruel reality.

Again, since the ruler has won the country unjustly, in order to maintain the regime, he will kill the true Confucians who resist fiercely; Coupled with the constant wars, the people of the time deeply felt that the world was impermanent and life was short.

As a result, a large number of scholars who originally inherited Confucianism turned to Lao Zhuang, no longer paying attention to the current affairs of the country, and instead taking indulgence as their own personal sustenance.

In short, the Qing Dynasty of the Wei and Jin dynasties was actually a reaction against Confucianism.

Although the name of the dynasty in this time and space is different from the name of the historical dynasty in the time and space, the situation of stealing Qin in the Cheng dynasty, the death of the fourth dynasty, the surrender of Chan to the Tang Dynasty, the competition for the throne of the Tang kings, the invasion of Hu Yi, and so on, is exactly the same as the situation of the Han, Wei, and Jin dynasties.

That is to say, whether it is external Confucianism and internal law, or whether it is to re-establish Confucianism as the ruling ideology, it is not immediately feasible to implement it.

I thought hard for a few days, but I didn't get anything.

In vain, he realized what his shortcomings were in governance, but his level was limited, and he couldn't think of ways to deal with it.

However, in the process, Xin Er decided on one thing.

Any major policy must be implemented by people; In the absence of major policies, daily government affairs must also be carried out by reliable people.

The major policies are unthinkable all of a sudden; The construction of his own team is urgent.

Since his arrival, in addition to following the advice of Gong Cao Shiliang and other county government officials when he took office, he eliminated a group of people such as Zhang Daojiang; And later Huang Rong was promoted to the county governor, Xin Er did not make any changes in the personnel of the county government.

He did it for a reason.

When I first arrived, I was not familiar with the local situation, and I did not know the characters of the local and county governments, and I didn't know who was available or capable; In the face of this situation, the best way is naturally to "follow the rules" and wait and see first.

Now in the two months of his reign, a lot of things have happened, the ability of the county government officials, and the attitude of the indigenous scholars in the county towards themselves, Xin Er has generally understood, and has already made a preliminary judgment on employing people.

Huang Rong told the members of his small group that Xin Er did not care about the difference between land and residence.

After the turmoil in the sea, whether it is Jiangzuo or Dingxi, there are a large number of people flowing in, and the dispute between land and residence is a big problem in Jiangzuo and a problem in Dingxi. How could Xin Er not pay attention to this?

It was just because he knew the power of the indigenous scholars in the imperial court and counties, and at the beginning of Xin'er, he did not want to have conflicts with the natives, and secondly, he hoped to get the support of the natives, so he pretended to be deaf and dumb.

The situation has developed to the present day, and he is no longer allowed to pretend to be deaf and dumb and "be a good family".

The representative of the indigenous scholars in the county government is Zhang Daojiang, including Gongcao Shiliang, and the local scholars in the mansion are mostly Zhang Daojiang's horses.

Zhang Daojiang will be disrespectful to himself, and Xin Er can tolerate it.

But Zhang Daojiang will not be virtuous but raise relatives, and after he doesn't use it, his temper behavior shows that he puts the interests of his family above the county court, and in this regard, Xin Er can't tolerate it.

Looking at Huang Rong on the other hand, he offered advice several times and did his best.

As a result, the originally impartial balance in Xin Er's heart could only reluctantly fall to Huang Rong's side.

In fact, he came from another time and space, for him, the two types of soil and dwelling in Dingxi are actually indigenous, and he is the only "guest", and he really wants to use it without discrimination.

However, reality does not allow his "naivety".

Xin Er sighed in his heart: "'A gentleman is not a party', it is easy to say, but it is difficult to reach the sky!" ”

It is obviously impossible for a gentleman not to be a party and to win everyone to be public-minded and not to pursue personal interests.

Xin Er prided himself on being "public-minded", and in order to do things, he finally had to give up his "illusions" and choose to "form a party".

Just when he stopped thinking about it and was about to summon Shi Liang, Zhang Daojiang, Huang Rong and other county government officials to a meeting, and asked them to recommend capable people from the prefecture and county for promotion, a message came from the southern ranch, which disrupted his arrangement.

When he was in Zebian, Xin Er picked twelve Huren youths as slaves, killed six, and left six. This time, Zhang Jingwei went to the ranch to take office, and Xin Er allocated him ten Tang and Hu cavalry, and the leader of the ten Hu cavalry was one of the remaining six cavalry.

This was the news from the horsemen.

There were two Aur's Hu Mu who made trouble, claiming that Zhang Jingwei was greedy for bribes and that the distribution of pastures was unfair.

"Jing Huan, what do you think about this matter?"

Zhang Jingwei was recommended by Huang Rong, and if he had a problem, of course he had to call Huang Rong to ask.

Huang Rong never believed that Zhang Jingwei would do anything to take bribes, and replied: "Ming Gong, Jingwei is in charge of Wei Cao for many years, and he has never heard of corruption and illegal things!" Besides, Hu Mu, who migrated inward, was destitute, what could he give as a bribe? This must be a rumor! ”

"You mean I lied from the horse?"

"Huh? No. The minister was in a hurry, not in this way. The minister said that there must be an inside story in this. ”

Xin Er agreed with Huang Rong's judgment, and he did not believe that Zhang Jingwei would take bribes.

Knowing that the monarch attaches great importance to the matter of collecting beard, what kind of fool must he be to accept bribes as soon as he takes office?

"I'll give you an order, and you should go to the ranch immediately and ask for details."

Zhang Jingwei is now subordinate to the General's Mansion, and Huang Rong, as the county governor, has no power to supervise the assassination, so Xin Er wrote a military order to him.

Huang Rong promised.

He set off that day and headed south to the pasture.

Take out the million-acre pasture allocated to the internal migration Huluo, located on the north bank of the Beida River, more than 100 miles away from Lejuan. Huang Rong did not pretend to ride an ox cart elegantly, took two servants, and rode there.

In the afternoon of the next day, I arrived at Zhang Jingwei's tent.

The two met.

Zhang Jingwei had already guessed the reason for Huang Rong's origin, asked him to sit down in the account, and without waiting for him to ask, he took the initiative to say: "You are here today because you heard about my bribery, right?" ”

Zhang Jingwei, Huang Rong and others have a very good relationship, they are close in private, and they usually call each other "Qing" affectionately, and now they talk about business, so Zhang Jingwei is called "Jun".

"Exactly. The prince already knew about it. Jingwei, what's going on? ”

"Do I believe that I will be corrupt?"

"I don't believe it, but what is the situation?"

Zhang Jingwei instructed outside the tent: "Bring it in." ”

Soon, four Tang horsemen escorted two Hu people into the tent.

These two Hu people were tied up with five flowers, and as soon as they entered the tent, they were kicked over by Tang Qi and trembling on the ground.

Huang Rong asked, "What is this?" ”

"If you want to say that I took a bribe, I am indeed taking a bribe."

Huang Rong frowned and said, "Don't sell it, you can make it clear." ”

"I took Hu to the ranch and toured them for days in order to get acquainted with them. A man of Aur's head secretly slaughtered a sheep and entertained me. I did not know beforehand, but when I knew it, the sheep were killed. It has been killed, and it cannot be thrown away and wasted. So I ate the sheep with the shepherds of Aur. After eating, I left money for them before leaving. Since I arrived at the ranch, I have only received this 'bribe'. ”

"Then why are there two Aur's Hu Mu making trouble?"

Zhang Jingwei pointed to the two Hu people and said, "I have found out that the rumors are from this erhu slave!" It was the two of them who spread rumors and instigated in various Aur, and the two Hu Mu of Aur were deceived because they came to our tent to make a noise. After a pause, he said, "Those two Aur's Hu Mu have been pacified by me. ”

"I see!" Huang Rong looked at the two Hu people suspiciously, and asked Zhang Jingwei, "You said that the two of them are Hu Nu?" Where did Hunu come from? Why are the two of them stirring up trouble in Huzhong? Thinking of a reason, he said, "Could it be that Lu Shuihu has a chieftain and a small leader who doesn't want the prince to 'collect Hu', so he sent two of him to sneak in and instigate Hu Luo's internal migration?" ”

Zhang Jingwei sneered and said, "If one of Lu Shuihu's chieftains sent it, it would be reasonable. It's a pity that it's not Lu Shuihu's person, it's Hu Nu in Zhang's family. ”

"Master Zhang? This, this,......。 Huang Rong was shocked and angry, and said, "It's just that because the prince didn't use what he did, he dared to hate and do such a kind of bastard evil act that ignores the overall situation?" How unreasonable! I'll go back to the house, and I'll be with the king! ”

"Wait."

"How?"

"If you give this matter to the king, what kind of situation will the prince fall into, have you ever thought about it?"

"You mean ......."

"Master Zhang's eldest father is the emperor, and his father controls the public opinion of the county, and the fathers and brothers in the clan list the counties and counties, and their power is also great! If you entrust this matter to the ruler of the government, should the ruler judge it directly according to the law? Or will you be in a dilemma? ”

"Jingwei, what do you mean?"

Zhang Jingwei said sonorously: "For the subordinates, they should share their worries for the king." This problem should not be pushed to the king, so I will deal with it. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Collect the heads of these two slaves and spread the two 'regiments' to put an end to rumors!"

Huang Rong took a breath of cold air and said, "You're not afraid of attracting the Zhang family's revenge?" ”

"I have been a county government official for more than ten years, and I have never tasted the slightest benefit of the Zhang family; Lai Jun's recommendation, the government Jun promoted me to a heavy responsibility. Jingwei is only the governor of the palace, but he does not know the Zhang family. ”

Zhang Jingwei is forty years younger, and his career has been sluggish, and he is likely to stop at Cao Shi; Suddenly, Xin Er's favor can be said to be bright, and he made up his mind at that time to follow Xin Er closely and hold this thigh tightly, in order to get higher progress.

Solving this trouble for Xin Er was a choice he made after interrogating the truth, and the reason why he kept the two Zhang family's Hu Nu and did not kill them until now was to wait for the county government to come and collect evidence.

When Huang Rong finished accepting the confessions of the two Hu slaves, he ordered Tang Qi to kill the two slaves on the spot, and asked Tang Qi to hold the heads of the two slaves, and showed the Hu Luo of the two "regiments" to know.

Huang Rong was half admired, half jealous, with complicated feelings, returned to the county government to resume his life, and conveyed Zhang Jingwei's loyal words to Xin Er: "Zhang Sima said, please rest assured that Ming Gong will do his best to be loyal, and make sure that Ming Gong takes care of the internal migration affairs, and if there is any mistake, dare to ask Ming Gong to be beheaded by military law!" ”

Linghu was awarded Xin Er the "False Festival", and he really had the right to kill those who violated the military order.

After listening to Huang Rong's report and knowing where the "rumors" came from, although Xin Er was also very angry,—— you must know that collecting Hu is something that Hu Feng attaches great importance to, and the Zhang family is making trouble here, which is not much different from pushing Xin Er into danger, but Zhang Jingwei's actions touched Xin Er even more.

He couldn't help but regret it a little, and said in his heart: "I only knew that Jingwei was capable before, but I didn't know that he was still so decisive and dared to take responsibility." If I had known earlier, I would have left him alone and stayed by my side. ”

Now he has just been appointed as Ban Sima, and it is not good to transfer him back immediately.

Xin Er thought about it, asked someone to take the bones in the backyard, and asked the county officials to send it to Zhang Jingwei, and handwrote "What is the meaning of no authority", and also asked the little officials to take it with him.

Although this bird is loved by Liu Le, it is of course the latter more important than it to win people's hearts.

The gift of the eagle with it, the meaning is self-evident, and Zhang Jingwei is also expected to be a powerful "eagle dog"; "Wuwei" is to refute Zhang Daojiang's contemptuous comments against Zhang Jingwei.

In the days when Huang Rong left, Shi Liang, Zhang Daojiang and other senior officials had already drawn up a list of recommended officials and county scholars in accordance with Xin Er's orders. At this time, Xin Er instructed Huang Rong to write a copy and submit it as well.

When Huang Rong heard this, he was overjoyed.

Two days later, he presented the list.

Based on the recommendations of the officials, Xin Er carefully selected and selected, and when a large round of appointments and dismissals of the officials was about to be made, another sudden incident once again interrupted his intended personnel arrangements.
