"If I were Lord Lu, I might as well go deep into the local area and do more practical government affairs." Since the other party revealed his intentions, if he pretended to be stupid again, he would refuse to accept it, and push the person who wanted to serve to the hostile camp, Xu Zixian said to Lu Wenxian: "The main responsibility of the transfer envoy or deputy envoy is to requisition and transfer local wealth to the center, this messenger offends people in peacetime, and if the center is weak, it will ......."

"You may even have to worry about your life." Lu Wenxian is also a smart person, and he knew it in his chest at the moment, and said with a smile: "Since the prince pointed out the clear road, then the lower officials will go to operate it and seek the position of building a state." ”

"Well, Brother Lu knows the subtleties and deeply cultivates Jianzhou, and he will definitely succeed in the future......"

Xu Zixian also changed his name, and the two laughed in unison.

Lu Wenxian is now Zhiqizhou, but Qizhou is a military state under the government, and the grade is one level lower than that of the serious military state, Lu Wenxian is now the fifth grade of Zhiqizhou, and Tongzhi Jianzhou is from the fourth grade, if it is not for the military exploits of Qizhou Port to count him as a part, I am afraid that such a good thing will not be his turn.

This person can also calm down, stay in Qizhou for many years, and finally wait for Xu Zixian, if he trains his own army to fight Chen Yutai, I am afraid that there is no hope of promotion, and losing his official position and resigning will be his final result.

At this time, the gongs and drums outside were noisy, and someone rushed to the door of the room and said loudly: "Two lords, the edict of the imperial court has come down." ”

The central will of the Great Wei Dynasty is out of the two mansions, whether it is the meaning of the Son of Heaven, decorated by the Hanlin Bachelor's edict, or directly issued by the two mansions, drawn up by the Zhongshu Sheren, and the seal of the political affairs hall, several wills are divided into edicts to the world, or the edict of rewarding the prime minister, or the downward edict, or the system, or the book, the book, the book, etc., all have certain rules.

Edicts, the transfer of officials below the third grade, rewards, punishments, and edicts.

If it is given by the imperial court to the Marquis of Nan'an, it is an edict, and if it is given to the same knowledge of Qizhou, it is an edict.

Lu Wenxian and Xu Zi glanced at each other first, and Lu Wenxian said: "It seems that the edict of the prince has arrived." ”

Lu Wenxian's official appointment will definitely have to wait for a while, even if there is him this time, it is estimated that he will first praise a few words, and then ask him to hand over the Qizhou seal letter and wait for the new appointment, of course, it will be promoted, and it will be clearly stated in the edict, and he will be given gold and silver, silk, silk cloth, etc.

Xu Zixian's appointment is definitely down, compared to Lu Wenxian's insignificance, Xu Zixian's arrangement is a fairly obvious result after the fold.

Lin Douyao, King Zhao, King Qi and other real bigwigs of Fujian Road decided to do the following, even if it was the two governments, they would not reject it, it was related to the overall situation of stabilizing Fujian Road, and the Son of Heaven, the left and right ministers would all be carried out according to the meaning of Fujian Road.

If there was no such possibility in the peaceful years of a few decades ago, even if there were, it would have been much more obscure and peaceful.

"Chennan Anhou, in charge of Fujian Road and Ma political affairs, Tongzhi Qizhou, defense envoy, Shangzhai all commanded Xu Zixian to knock on the edict...... "After reading his lengthy official name, Xu Zixian bowed in front of the edict, of course, there is no need for any incense cases and the like, and the edict was also issued by a scholar from the political hall.

"The system said: If you have extraordinary merits, you must treat extraordinary people, and if you have extraordinary people, you should be awarded extraordinary rewards. I am glad to hear that Nan'an Hou Xu Zi slashed the thieves first, and the trouble of the place is leveled, don't you appreciate it, and give it a generous reward? Specially, 10,000 official households in Nan'an, 4,000 households, 10,000 households, 10,000 households, Hou Nai ......"

At the beginning of the edict, it was affirmed that Xu Zixian had succeeded in quelling the thief, and the tone of the Son of Heaven was also quite pleased, but Xu Zixian knew that this was just an official article, and the seemingly happy tone could not hide the coldness inside.

Sure enough, he was not promoted to the knighthood, although everyone understood that the harm of 2,000 Qishan bandits was far greater than that of 20,000 mountain bandits in Xunzhou, but bandits were bandits, and there was no way to compare with Beiyu, Xiqiang, and Donghu in terms of military merits.

But after all, it is a great achievement, and in order to gag people's mouths, the imperial court added 4,000 official households to Xu Zixian, so that Xu Zixian, the nominal household of Nan'anhou, has reached 20,000 households, and there are 10,600 households in Shishi.

In terms of this fiefdom, Xu Zixian has reached the fiefdom of most of the princes, and has caught up with a small number of princes.

The imperial court did not hesitate to give some practical benefits, but even if he refused to give it to the famous lord, the intention of suppressing Xu Zixian was already quite obvious.

Even Zuo Prime Minister Han Zhong will not fight with the Son of Heaven in such matters, and for civil officials, even civil officials who have conflicts with the emperor, they don't like to see someone in the clan threaten the emperor's throne.

Civilians prefer the stability of a vast empire to the unnecessarily unnecessary, even if it is possible for the better.

Obviously, the feudal household is still added to the Eastern Domain, and the imperial court seems to be really shameless.

In this way, in addition to the original 600 seals in Nan'an, the 10,000 seals are all in the Eastern Domain, and in the eyes of many people, this kind of sealing is simply shameless, and the court refuses to even do perfunctory work.

In many people's cognition, the Eastern Domain is a barren island, there are less than 2,000 households on the island, more than 10,000 people, all of them are cultivated for a living, only to feed their stomachs, and from time to time to face the threat of alpine natives and pirates, the garrison is more than the population of the people, this kind of place is divided into Nan'anhou, that is, the immigrants have to come to Nan'anhou himself, which is at least hundreds of thousands of yuan...... Of course, they still underestimated the determination and scale of Nan'anhou Mansion's investment.

The edict is not confidential, and it is estimated that there are already many people who are crying out for Xu Zixian, and the prestige that Xu Zixian has always managed has risen to a higher level under the deliberate suppression of the imperial court.

In addition to sealing the outdoors, the next thing is to change Xu Zixian's official position.

"In addition to the observer envoys of the various villages of the Eastern Domain, the observer envoys of the Nanyang Naval Division, the duties are important, the selection of talents and talents, the formation of troops and training soldiers, and the strength of the army, and the Hou does not fight hard?"

The observation envoy of the Great Wei Dynasty, a bit similar to the former Tang Dynasty's Guan Jun Rong Xuanwei disposal envoy, was originally made by Tang Suzong to supervise the nine sections, not a marshal, just a nine-section supervisor of the army, but the de facto presidential marshal, and later became the nominal supervisor of the forbidden army, the actual commander.

Of course, the Great Wei will not re-enter the mistakes of the former Tang Dynasty, the authority of the eunuch has been greatly restricted, and the name of the envoy of the Guanjun Rong is also reminiscent of the old days, and it is also abandoned, and the power and responsibility are transferred to the authority of the observer.

The main duty of the observation envoy is to become the supervisor of the soldiers and horses stationed in a certain place, mainly the box army in the local area, and when the forbidden army is assembled in a large scale, it is the forbidden army to supervise the army.

Xu Zixian's two new appointments, on the surface, seem to be promoted again.

Originally, Xu Zi first learned from the five products of the same Zhiqizhou, the defense envoy, and the promotion of Ma Zheng was also from the five official positions, and the rank of the Eastern Domain was the superior military state, and there was no Zhizhou or prefect, only the defense envoy of the Zhijun Village, from the fourth grade, the observation envoy was the supervising army, one level lower, and the fifth grade.

That is to say, Xu Zi first made this great achievement, plus a large number of food and sealed households, which was a common reward given by the imperial court to the officials of the clan, and then the official position was upgraded by one level, from the fifth grade to the fifth grade.

Not bad.

For low-level official positions, the ninth to seventh grades are the uncrossable moats, and the seventh to fifth grades are regarded as the apex of the second transfer.

From the fifth rank to the fourth grade, it is the transformation of ordinary officials to a big official.

Zhijun Prefecture, Xuanfu Division, Punishment Envoy, Patrol Envoy, and Transfer Envoy are all four or from the third grade, which is already an important official along the way.

The pacification envoy to the third rank is the step from the local official to the central minister, such as the general secretary who is transferred from the pacification envoy to a certain ministry from the second rank, or the privy deputy envoy, who participates in political affairs, until the prime minister of the first grade.

This road seems simple, but it is full of difficulties.

There is no strong background or the ability to defy the sky, if you want to go from the ninth grade to the seventh grade, it is quite normal for the new branch jinshi to stay up for more than ten years, the new branch jinshi is divided into three classes, and the third class is generally awarded the eighth grade official, which is generally a miscellaneous official position, and a few unlucky ghosts at the bottom are awarded the ninth grade official, but it is a positive official position.

Only the second-class or first-class ones are the pride of the sky, for example, Wei Yi is directly awarded the seven-grade county order, not only directly except for the seven-grade award, but also the actual position of the county.

In addition to his own family name, it is the main reason why family background is the main reason.

Family name, family background, ability, all are indispensable.

Even if there are these, from the seventh grade to the fifth grade is a higher threshold, this threshold stops most people, and more than seventy percent of the officials' careers are limited to the fifth grade or less.

There are more than 2,000 counties in the Great Wei Dynasty, more than 800 military prefectures, and the official positions above the fifth grade in the central and local areas are really limited.

And the official position above the fifth grade is not an ordinary merit, and the family background can be obtained, let alone the moat that can be boiled up by qualifications.

"Congratulations." Lu Wenxian said sincerely: "The Nanyang Naval Master has to go and sort it out properly. ”

"The sailor is complicated and hard to say." Xu Zixian said slowly: "I can only do my best." ”

The Penghu Naval Division is the Nanyang Naval Division, the previous Great Wei Naval Division was divided into the north and the south, and the Beiyang Naval Division was responsible for the defense of the northern seas, compared to the south, the northern seas were relatively calm, and there were fewer pirates, so the scale of the Beiyang has been small.

The Nanyang Naval Division was founded in the reign of Xuanzong, and the Liujiagang Imperial Court in Suzhou successively invested tens of millions of dollars, built the largest treasure ship with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons, with a tall tail ship, equipped with a large number of strong crossbows and artillery, under the development of a strong fleet, the Eastern countries, that is, the current Nanyang countries, were included in the trade and tributary system of the Great Wei, and the Western countries, that is, the current Mughal countries, also entered the eyes of the Great Wei monarchs.

When the Great Wei was strong, the Nanyang Naval Division was the most powerful fleet in the entire East Asia, Southeast Asia, West Asia, the Middle East, and even the whole world, with more than 100,000 officers and soldiers of the Naval Division, more than 1,000 capital ships and more than 10,000 large and small supply ships, and then it brought the prosperity of the industrial and commercial trade of the Great Wei, and dozens of countries purchased a large number of tea, cloth, iron, silk and porcelain from the Great Wei, and the Great Wei also ushered in the strong and prosperous trade to this day.

So far, foreign trade revenue accounts for 30% of the revenue of the Great Wei treasury, which is only direct income, and the prosperity of the people brought by the development of industry and commerce is not included in it.

In modern terms, the Great Wei is a standard export-oriented economy, due to the enemy everywhere, coupled with the underdevelopment of agriculture, the industrial revolution has not occurred, science and technology has not fundamentally changed, the domestic demand of the Great Wei is sluggish, the real developed is the Jiangnan and southeast places, the rest of the north, northeast, northwest, central and eastern, central and western, southwest regions, can be regarded as underdeveloped areas.

The most fatal thing is the threat from the alien race, a lot of wealth has been consumed in endless wars, the Great Wei has been in the past two hundred years, almost no year without fighting, many soldiers have turned into white bones, and countless wealth has also been consumed in these endless wars against nomadic cavalry.

Due to the tilt of wealth to the border, the scale of the Great Wei's sailors is also getting smaller and smaller, after all, the places collectively known as Nanyang are all poor and weak small countries, and the Tianfang people are too far away to pose a threat to the Great Wei.

After arriving in Wenzong, the pirates arose, and the Great Wei Naval Division was constantly weakened in the perennial high-attrition of the guard and engagement, and now the Nanyang Naval Division has only a dozen warships left, more than 3,000 officers and soldiers, and has no fighting spirit, stationed in Penghu all the year round, can only guard in Fuzhou and Quanzhou, and suppress some small-scale pirates, in the face of pirates of the scale of the Qishan Pirates, they are powerless.

"The prince will be able to turn the situation around." The scholar who issued the edict also said: "Before the edict was issued, I heard that when the people mentioned the Marquis of Nan'an, they were all praised, and among the clan, there was such a prestige, except for the king of Qi, there was only one prince." ”

Xu Zixian was about to say a few words of humility, but he heard a bell suddenly ringing in the city of Fuzhou a few miles away.

In addition to the bells, there were the shouts of thousands of people, like roars, like whimpering, like the wind roaring, like the shaking of the heavens and the earth......
