Chapter 17: Returning to the Heart (I)

In the blink of an eye, it's March, and spring has finally arrived.

Early in the morning, the canal travels by car from the inner city to the south gate of the outer city. Along the way, I saw that the entire Jidu City was extremely busy.

On both sides of the many streets of Jidu, according to the instructions of the prince, the excavation of the so-called "drainage channel" project has begun.

Of course, the "street lamp" with distinctive characteristics is indispensable.

As the capital of Yan Kingdom, Jidu City is divided into two cities: inner and outer. Needless to say, the walls of Jidu City are extremely tall and strong, so there is no need to build too much.

According to the order of the crown prince Ji Kang, all the city walls were simply repaired with cement. The most important thing is on the city wall, every other distance, like Xiangping City, to install "wall lights".

When he arrived at the west gate of the outer city, he got off the canal and went up to the city wall, and saw that there were many officials, all of whom were already on the city wall, looking out at the military camp to the west as usual.

After seeing the arrival of the canal, these officials stepped forward to greet them.

"Lord Jiangqu, good!"

"Master Jiangqu, are you here too?"

……

Jiang Qu smiled and returned the salute.

After the Chinese New Year, Yaqing Jiangqu was promoted to Shangqing by Yan Wang Ji Ming at the suggestion of the crown prince Ji Kang, which is amazing.

In this era, the post of "three princes and nine secretaries" is the ultimate goal of every official. The "Three Princes" can only be appointed by the Son of Heaven, and the ministers in the vassal states are said to be the secretaries, which is actually equivalent to the position of the "Three Princes".

"Jiuqing" refers to the position of Shangqing, when the original Gongsun Cao of Yan State was the prime minister, in addition to Changguo Junlejian inherited his father's title and was listed as Shangqing, he was gradually promoted to the position of Shangqing.

But Lejian is a military position, and after Gongsun Cao left, Su belly justifiably ascended to Yanxiang.

Now because of the body of Yan Wang Ji Ming, Yan Guo has gradually handed over power to the crown prince Ji Kang.

Ji Kang has become a veritable "uncrowned king" of Yan Kingdom.

"The prince went to the barracks again and went to train the troops?"

Jiang Qu asked an official.

"Yes, Lord Shoqu. Half a month after the prince's wedding, he went out to train the army. ”

Jiang Qu nodded, took out a monocular from his arms, and raised it to the west barracks in the envious eyes of everyone and began to look out.

What Jiang Qu and many officials didn't know was that Ji Kang was no longer in the barracks today, but came to Wuyang City, the capital of Wuyang County, to inspect Wuyang County.

At present, officials in Liaodi, officials with excellent grades and evaluations, will be rotated to the Government Affairs College of Xiangping University every year for training and study. In Ji Kang's words, it is "gilding".

After the end of the study, after the assessment, Ji Kang did not hesitate to give a promotion if the results were excellent.

The former Ancheng County Ling Anyuan, after several assessments, achieved excellent results and was appointed by Ji Kang as the county guard of Wuyang County.

Now all the counties and counties of Yan have adopted the Liao system, and in general, they have three days off every month, and the days of "rest" are set as the tenth, twentieth and the last day of each month, and other festivals are counted separately.

March 10 is the day of "rest" in Yan Kingdom.

Shi Kang has been sent by Ji Kang to serve in the navy.

Now Ji Kang, accompanied by Lu Zhonglian, Tian Guang, and Han Fei, came to Wuyang City, the capital of Wuyang County, and found that Wuyang City was also renovating sewers and other projects, and there was a busy scene.

Everyone came to the county guard's mansion, and after asking, they learned that the county guard'an was far from being in the mansion, but went outside the city to inspect the spring ploughing matters.

Ji Kang asked where An Yuan went, and said to everyone: "Don't wait here, let's go outside the city and see what the county guard An Yuan is doing?" ”

The crowd agreed in unison.

When everyone came to the fields outside the city, they saw An Yuan from a distance, like an old farmer, holding his trouser legs, covered with mud, and holding a Quyuan plow to plow the field.

You must know that An Yuan was born in the family of Ancheng Gate Valve, and he usually has fine clothes and food, but now he is like this.

Ji Kang was very happy in his heart, but he complained: "This An Yuan, what's the matter?" It's like Hao Xuejun again. I have long said: the body is the capital to do all positions, and when it is time to rest, you must rest. ”

"This Anyuan, when you are resting, you will not rest. The system of recuperation formulated by my Yan Kingdom, as the guard of a county, doesn't he know to take the lead in complying with it? How does this make other officials perceive? ”

Mr. Lu Zhonglian is a gentleman, where he knows Ji Kang's "insidious and cunning", seeing Ji Kang's face is stiff, and he looks very displeased with An Yuan, he can't help but be a little worried about An Yuan.

Hurriedly stepped forward and said to Ji Kang: "Prince, now the four counties of Shanggu, Jidu, Wuyang, and Hejian in my Yan Kingdom are in ruins, and there are many things. The county guards Anyuan is like this, and it is also a last resort, and the prince cannot be blamed too much. ”

Ji Kang shook his head and said to Lu Zhonglian: "Some time ago, Hao Xuejun, the guard of Zhongyang County, fell ill on the couch because of overwork. Or did I send someone to personally supervise him to rest and recuperate, and his body had just recovered a few days ago. ”

"These people are all the ministers of my Yan country, and the rivers and mountains of Yan country are supported by them. If they are all tired and sick, this is ignoring the country! Officials, this overwork, must be stopped. ”

Before the Chinese New Year, Hao Xuejun, the county guard of Zhongyang County, fell ill due to overwork. After Ji Kang found out, he was really anxious, he was only afraid that Hao Xuejun would have three longs and two shorts, and he would die young, so he hurriedly sent several medical officers to treat Hao Xuejun.

After Hao Xuejun was a little better, Ji Kang couldn't help but say that he would recruit Hao Xuejun back to Jidu and let him recuperate.

Hao Xuejun was very dissatisfied with this, and said to Ji Kang: "Prince, Weichen's health is now better, and many things in Zhongyang County are waiting for his subordinates to go back and deal with them!" The prince asked the minister to cultivate in the thistle, and the minister was grateful, but the minister was so uncomfortable here! ”

When Ji Kang heard Hao Xuejun say this, he was furious and reprimanded him well, "The body is the capital to do all positions" The famous saying was born at this time.

scolded Hao Xuejun, Ji Kang's "Aichen", and his face was flushed.

An Yuan had already seen the arrival of Ji Kang and the others, and hurriedly handed over the Quyuan plow in his hand to the old farmer next to him, and he didn't care about washing, so he ran from the field to Ji Kang and the others.

Ji Kang had already dismounted and stood by the roadside.

An Yuan came to Ji Kang's face, hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed to Ji Kang and said, "An Yuan pays homage to the prince, prince, why are you here?" ”

Ji Kang deliberately kept a straight face and said to An Yuan: "An Junshou, today is the day of rest, you don't have a good rest, and you still come to work in the fields." As the head of a county, what is the crime of not taking the lead in obeying the laws of the court? ”

An Yuan hurriedly smiled and said: "Prince, An Yuan did not disobey the laws of my Yan Kingdom, and came to the fields to cultivate, just to rest!" Working with the people, sweating all over the body, is better than anything else. ”

When everyone heard An Yuan's words, they couldn't help laughing, and so did Ji Kang.
