Chapter 62: A New Situation
Cao Xing's two months in office can be said to have stirred up the county government of Bianyun County.
When the people encountered tricky things, they sued the yamen, and the yamen also made fair judgments one by one, and would never intentionally favor the disciples of the family, so the disciples of the family hated Cao Xing to the root, but the people loved the current county order and the county Cheng.
Now the soldier Cao Zhu Split of Bianyun County was also executed by Cao Xing, You Tie and Cai Gui and others originally wanted to support another disciple of the family to take the position, but they did not expect that Cao Xuan tried his best to stop it, Duan Ke once again showed his attitude of playing Tai Chi, and combined the opinions of both sides, and finally selected a disciple of an ordinary family to serve as the new soldier Cao.
This is just an ordinary family, neither belonging to the nouveau riche nor ordinary people, but he has an attitude that he doesn't dare to offend on both sides, so he does things quite fairly.
Although neither side was pleasing this time, the nobles of the family hated Cao Xuan completely.
On this day, Cao Xuan finished his official duties, and was about to go home to take a look, but suddenly an official came to report, saying that Duan County had something to do with Cao Xing, and asked Cao Xuan to go to his house to talk about it.
Cao Xuan was a little suspicious, he couldn't figure out what Duan Ke could do to find himself at such a time? However, he still didn't ask much, came to Duan Ke's door, knocked on the door, Duan Ke's voice came from inside, and Cao Xing also pushed the door in.
However, when Cao Xuan saw the people in the house clearly, his eyes began to become a little unhappy, because in this room, not only Duan Ke was alone, but You Tie was also sitting on the side.
"Haha, Lord Cao is here, please sit down, don't stand there." Duan Ke greeted Cao Xuan with a smile on his face, and a wooden table had been placed in front of Duan Ke, and the table was full of good wine and food.
Cao Xuan also restrained his expression, and sat next to Duan Ke, opposite him was You Tie, and the two of them didn't like each other, so they snorted coldly, and everyone didn't speak first.
Duan Ke glanced at the two of them, a shrewd look flashed in his eyes, and then said: "Both of them are important officials in my Bianyun County, it is precisely because of the existence of the two of you that my Bianyun County magistrate has been stable for a long time, in the recent period, whether it is the situation of paying taxes or the situation of the population wanted, it has risen a lot, thanks to the help of the two, I Duan someone toasts you!" ”
Now that Duan Ke had spoken, Cao Xing and You Tie couldn't refuse, so they raised their wine glasses and touched them reluctantly, and then drank the wine down.
Duan Ke wiped his mouth, glanced at the two of them again, and found that the demeanor of the two of them gradually calmed down, he laughed twice, and was ready to get into his main topic this time.
"Both of you are capable people under someone in my Duan, although you have different ways of doing things and styles, but we know that both of you are doing good for our Bianyun County, and now I am about to go to the county town to participate in the review, this time it will be at least a month, if something is delayed, it may take longer, so I hope that during the time I am gone, the two of you can get along in harmony and don't make another incident!"
Cao Xing immediately understood what Duan Ke meant, Duan Ke came to Bianyun County as a county magistrate, it has been three years, according to the promotion standards of the Han Dynasty, every three years, the county magistrate of each county can go to the county seat to participate in the assessment, hand in his own political achievements, and the people at a higher level above will evaluate this county magistrate? If you do well, you can be promoted directly.
This matter finally fell on Duan Ke's head, although Duan Ke's family is now in decline, and there may not be a good way out, but this is always a good thing for him, especially since Cao Xing crossed over, creating things such as cold spirits and soap, which suddenly improved the economy of Bianyun County a lot, Cao Xing is in accordance with the taxes of the Han Dynasty, and pays on time every month, so the things that Bianyun County pays have gradually increased.
Cao Xing's use of compost and manure is no secret in Bianyun County, many farmers can't help but ask Cao Xing for advice, and Cao Xing is not too stingy, just pay a little tuition per person, he will teach these people how to compost and make fertilizer, so the grain output has also increased a lot, these are nothing more than money and food in the eyes of ordinary people, but in Duan Ke's eyes, it is a living political achievement.
In addition, there are not a few people who have litigated recently, and Duan Ke has adopted a fair and just judgment method, so in this way, his political performance will improve a lot.
Maybe Duan Ke didn't expect that on the first day of Cao Xing's appointment, he just said casually, I don't know if there will be different things happening when he cooperates with Cao Xing, but he never expected that Cao Xing came here and really provided him with a lot of convenience, so in the past two months, as long as Cao Xing had a conflict with the family, he tried his best to favor Cao Xing.
Of course, Cao Xing also knew that it was precisely because of everything he did that he provided Duan Ke with a lot of convenience, so Duan Ke gave him so much convenience, and the two were mutually beneficial.
Duan Ke has been in the officialdom for so long, even if his family is declining now, I believe it is still more or less related, seeing that he is so complacent, Cao Xin feels that Duan Ke may not come back if he goes.
Anyway, Duan Ke only has one meaning today, that is, to promote the harmony between Cao Xing and the family, and this harmony must be at least temporary, and there can be no chaos on his way to participate in the audit.
The banquet that Duan Ke set up today also had the feeling of a Hongmen banquet, since he said so, Cao Xing and You Tie could only make a show, squeezed out a smile, shook hands, drank two glasses of wine and dispersed.
The next day, Duan Ke embarked on his way to participate in the review, and now there are only two people left in Bianyun County, Cao Xing and You Tie have the highest official positions.
However, as soon as Duan Ke left on the front foot, the two chose to leave one after another, after all, if Duan Ke was really promoted this time and left Bianyun County, then the position of the next county commander would be particularly important for the two.
You Tie immediately reported the matter to Cai Gui, and at this moment in a huge room, Cai Gui and Cai De also had a group of families, all of whom sat on it.
You Tie stood in front of Cai Gui and respectfully reported the matter, Cai Gui touched his gray beard, and after a while, a bright smile appeared on his face.
"Okay, yes, if my guess is correct, Duan Ke should leave Bianyun County no matter what, after all, even if he is not promoted, the people above will not let him stay in a place like Bianyun County all the time!"
As soon as Cai Gui said this, he immediately got the support of others.
"In this way, that's really good, the reason why that kid Cao Xing dares to be so rampant is not caused by Duan Ke's inaction!"
"That's it, where is there in this world, the government doesn't help our family, and it has to protect those so-called ordinary people, it's a big joke in the world, Duan Ke, this bastard is the best, I will definitely kill Cao Xing's kid!"
The head of the family began to talk about it, anyway, there was a bright smile on everyone's face, but soon, there was a family head who asked Cai Gui the most critical question.
"Master Cai, although there is a chance that Duan Ke will leave Bianyun County, but then again, should we think about it when the new county commander is the new county commander, after all, we still have to prevent it, if the next Duan Ke appears, what should we do, it is impossible to always let Cao Xing's kid suppress it!"
Hearing this, Cai De just laughed twice, and then glanced at Cai De on the side: "My good nephew, if I remember correctly, you have reached the age when you should be filial and honest this year!" ”
Hearing this, Cai De's eyes flashed with excitement, and he quickly stood up, respectfully saluted Cai De with his fists and said: "Back to my uncle's words, I have turned seventeen this year, and logically speaking, I should be able to carry out filial piety!" ”
Cai Gui heard Cai De's answer and nodded with satisfaction, although Cai De was not his biological son, he was also one of his nephews, and Cai De's knowledge also made him very satisfied, at least much stronger than ordinary family disciples who did not learn and did not know how to do it.
"Okay, I'll fix a book tonight, and then tomorrow you can hurry to Jiuyuan County, go to the county magistrate there, he and I are old friends, you directly hand over the letter to him, he will know what to do, if I am not wrong, the next county magistrate of Bianyun County will be you!"
After getting Cai Gui's affirmation, the joy on Cai De's face was directly overflowing, and he thanked Cai Gui for his promotion, while although the other family heads said that a look of unwillingness flashed in their eyes, they didn't say anything after all, the big families married each other and held each other, which is a very common thing.
However, during this period, the strongest family in Bianyun County seems to be the Cai family, and everyone thinks that Cai Gui is the first to look forward, so even if some people are unhappy in their hearts, why did Cai Gui arrange for the children in their family to serve as the county commander of Bianyun County, but because Cai Gui's influence in Bianyun County is too deep, he still didn't say anything, and finally showed a smile and congratulated Cai De with their fists.
……
Cao Xing has been in his office house, reviewing the cases that have been sold this year, and Cao Xing has worked very hard, and finally completed the review of all these things on the afternoon of the third day.
Cao Xuan shook his head, making his expression a little more sober, if you ask him why he works so hard, the reason is only because Cao Xuan firmly believes that he must be self-disciplined, even if this is an extraordinary time, but he must stick to his own heart, and must not make any forks.
Therefore, after reviewing all the official documents, he took Zhou Cang out of the county office in Bianyun County.
At this time, Zhou Cang looked at Cao Xing, and couldn't help but say: "Lord, if I remember correctly, that bastard of You Tie has already gone home yesterday!" ”
