Chapter 637: News
Li Xun said a little strangely: "Zhou Xiansen's situation, in fact, I also have some understanding, but I don't understand, in the past few years when he was a county magistrate, and in the years when the Second Longyou War did not break out, the development was quite good, logically speaking, a greedy person like Zhou Xiansen must not have any governance talent, how did he govern Xiayuan County so well?" ”
Xia Yuan said: "Zhou Xiansen has no ability, but Guo Chen, the county under him, is very talented, and manages Xia Yuan County in an orderly manner. ”
Li Xun frowned and said: "Ganzhou Assassin Shi Chengning, as an official is upright and upright, with a fair personality, Guo Chen is so talented, how could he not know that he should have been promoted a long time ago." ”
Xia Yuan smiled bitterly: "Dashuai doesn't know, although Guo Chen's mother is Han, but his father is from the Western Regions, how dare Lord Cheng easily reuse foreigners?" ”
Li Xun was relieved, it turned out that this was the case, he was in charge of the western part of Longyou for several years, although he worked hard to improve the status of foreigners, as much as possible to let them have the same rights as the Han people, but the estrangement between ethnic groups can not be dissolved for a while, besides, Li Xun in order to appease the foreigners, can let them enter the government to do things, but can only be some small officials who do not enter the stream, this has nothing to do with talent, but a hard rule, Li Xun also has a certain degree of precaution for foreigners, it is impossible to believe them immediately, And Cheng Ning promoted Guo Chen to the county seat of Xiayuan County, it was not easy, obviously he valued this person's talent very much, but he had to take a certain political risk in doing so, after all, the county Cheng was already the eighth grade, and he was the highest official under the chief of a county.
"When did you talk about it, Ganzhou's recent actions are a bit big."
At this time, the man sitting opposite Li Xun suddenly turned his head and said loudly.
Li Xun smiled: "You are familiar with the situation here? ”
Xia Yuan is just a low-level officer guarding the door, they may know some about the affairs of Xia Yuan County, but I am afraid they know less about the situation in the entire Ganzhou, Zhao Tong suddenly made a difficulty, stirring up the situation in the entire western part of Longyou, to what extent the situation has developed, Li Xun very much wants to know.
The man grabbed the bottle and shook it, smiling.
Li Xun smiled: "We ordered some wine, maybe you want to try it." ”
When the man heard this, his face suddenly became happy, and he moved to sit at Li Xun's table, the wine was very expensive, where could he afford to drink it on weekdays.
"Brother, can you tell me your name?"
"In the lower Zheng Jing, the word Weisheng."
Li Xun glanced at Zheng Jing in surprise, this person was in tatters, very depressed, just sitting there, it was just a plate of clear water cabbage and two steamed buns, at first glance, he was a poor person who couldn't be poorer, and he actually had a table word, in this world, ordinary people have no table words, and his reputation is also scarce.
Looking at Li Xun's rather surprised expression, Zheng Jing smiled and said, "My cousin was given to me by my father, and he is a showman." ”
Li Xun nodded, so it was.
Xia Yuan was puzzled: "Since your father is from a Xiucai background, your brother shouldn't be mixed like this!" ”
If you are admitted to Xiucai, the court will be registered, and you will pay money every month, although it is not much, but you can barely support your family, concentrate on studying, and you will have the qualifications to be an official.
Zheng Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Xiucai is worthless, my father is sick, and a little family has long been hollowed out, as soon as his old man dies, the debt collectors will come, and I can only flee for my life." ”
"Since my brother is from a talented family, why don't you take the test to gain fame?"
Zheng Jing sighed: "Although I like to read and read, I only read and read the books I like, and those who know are also ........"
At this time, the wine and food were brought to the table, good wine and good food, the wine alone was two jars of ten catties, seeing this situation, Zheng Jing was overjoyed, today he could feast on it, Jiang Daxiong grabbed a jar of wine, looked up and drank it in a big gulp, three or two under a jar of five catties of wine was drunk, Zheng Jing was dumbfounded, although the wine is not easy to intoxicate, but drink so much in one go, it is also a fierce person.
Jiang Daxiong touched his mouth and said dissatisfiedly: "Boss, this wine is not interesting at all. ”
"Then drink what you like."
Li Xun asked the boss to bring the best and strongest liquor in the store.
Then, Li Xun was not in a hurry to ask, he was indeed a little hungry, everyone ate a little something, drank a few glasses of wine, and then began to chat again.
Li Xun saw Zheng Jing constantly looking at himself, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "Zheng Jing, I have flowers on my face, why are you always staring at me?" ”
Zheng Jing hesitated for a moment, and then asked tentatively, "Are you Li Xun, the envoy of Wuzhou Jiedu?" ”
Li Xun was stunned: "Why do you think I am Li Xun?" ”
Zheng Jing pointed at Jiang Daxiong: "I all know that Li Xun has a tiger general by his side, burly, strong in martial arts, and the master and servant are inseparable, I look at him like Jiang Daxiong." ”
Xia Yuan opened his mouth at this time and said: "It may also be that Niu Jin, the defense envoy of Ganzhou, also has such a guard by Niu Jin's side." ”
Zheng Jing shook his head and said: "I have seen Niu Jin, when he was appointed as the defense envoy of Ganzhou, good guy, beating gongs and drums, leading two thousand soldiers to patrol the city several times, for fear that others would not know him." ”
Li Xun laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this, Niu Jin obviously regarded himself as an idol, imitating and learning from himself everywhere, he was born as a bandit, and when he followed his brother-in-law Wang Qun, he was not treated well by others, and after following himself, he was also excluded, and he must have been very angry in his heart, so he held his breath, and in the second Longyou War, he worked hard to make great contributions, and finally promoted to Zhonglang General Yilang, and under his own strong recommendation, he served as the defense envoy of Ganzhou, and after so many years of grievances, he finally breathed a big sigh of relief. Naturally, the scenery should be beautiful once.
"You don't need to know who I am, so tell me what you know."
Li Xun did not give a positive answer.
This is tantamount to acquiescing that he is Li Xun, and Zheng Jing's gaze towards Li Xun is naturally a little different.
"There are a total of four counties in Ganzhou, except for Xiayuan County, the remaining three counties, except for Pingguang County, there is no action, and the policy of Li Xun is still continued in accordance with the festival, Huangsheng County and Zhoushi County as early as a month ago, began to levy additional taxes on foreigners, and promulgated new, tendentious policies and orders, among which Zhoushi County is the largest, only Han people are allowed to live in the city, foreigners are not allowed to enter the city, they are not allowed to engage in business, and the tax on land is increased to three times that of the Han people, which has caused great public anger, The foreigners made trouble once, but the number was not large, and the government killed a few people, which was regarded as suppressing the matter, but the emotions of the foreigners became more and more excited, and if it went on like this, something big would happen sooner or later. ”
