"Congratulations!" Li Gang said with a smile.

I just said that he would rise, but I didn't expect it to rise so quickly.

Hengshan County is a remote place, although the grade of the lower county and the county is only five grades, this grade is actually the same as the four county orders of Henan County, Luoyang County, Chang'an County, and Wannian County. But in any case, this is a deputy of a county after all.

Daqin is now at the county level, with county guards, county captains, and then county masters, and then the six Cao military officers.

In the past, the three positions of don't drive, Changshi, and Sima are now the county and the county lieutenant, and the county and the county lieutenant have their own division of labor, for example, when the Sui Dynasty was in the great cause, the county was responsible for leading the county soldiers, in charge of public security, and the county lieutenant was responsible for commanding the county government soldiers, but now, it is the county lieutenant who is responsible for Cao Wu, which is similar to the division of labor in the county.

The eunuchs who came to pass the decree also congratulated repeatedly, Ma only got the Jinshi in the second month of the exam, and he was awarded the secretary Lang from the sixth grade, and then he has been the county governor of Yanshi County for the past few months, and now he has made a contribution to the relief of the locusts, and he was awarded the Hengshan County Cheng at once, and he is the fifth grade, and this promotion speed is simply shocking.

Normally, a term has to go through at least four exams, that is, three years, a small exam a year, a major exam in three years, at least four exams to be promoted, most of them have to go through two terms to be promoted, and it may even be just a flat adjustment.

Like him, he directly won the champion in the imperial examination, awarded the sixth grade, and then only three months later, he was promoted to the fifth grade, which is too rebellious.

Especially the secretary Lang's sixth grade is still just an idle position, but the fifth grade of Hengshan Juncheng, this is a real job, the deputy of a county.

If you do four exams and get results, it will be too guarded to go up.

Even if it is any county guard, it is from the four grades, and it is especially rare that the Taishou is the chief official, which is much more valuable than the other four grades.

There are only about 200 counties in Daqin.

Ma Zhou was surprised.

"The promotion is too fast, the promotion is too high." Ma Zhou said very directly.

"You have talent and drive, and you are still the first champion of my Great Qin, a protégé of the Son of Heaven, Your Majesty also wants to set you up as a model, so it is normal to promote you exceptionally." Li Gang can see it clearly, after all, it is still the beginning of the dynasty after all, there are not so many rules and regulations, and the employment of the Son of Heaven is not as good as that of the Ministry of Officials or the Government Hall, and he has to follow the rules.

The emperor has such power to employ people unconventionally.

"King Bin, Hengshan County is a newly annexed county of the imperial court, and it is in a remote place, where there are many people, backward and remote, and it is not easy to be afraid of this county. You can't just see it as a promotion, you have to face up to this challenge, if you are not prepared enough, you will lose not only your face and future, but also the face of a saint. How many people in the world are staring at you! Li Gang reminded.

Ma Zhou nodded.

Then there was another group of people over there.

"There is a holy decree to arrive, Li Gang will take the decree!"

The holy decree was read, and the emperor awarded Li Gang as the Taishou of Hengshan County.

Li Gang, who was still there just now and said that Ma Zhou had to be mentally prepared for a difficult struggle, was stunned, he didn't expect that he would actually go to Hengshan and continue to partner with Ma Zhou, but this time he was the chief officer, and Ma Zhou was his deputy.

Ma Zhou laughed.

"Sir, it seems that His Majesty is very optimistic about our two partners!"

Li Gang was helpless, "I have this old bone, Your Majesty still wants me to go to Hengshan, Hunan, and he really looks at my old bone." ”

"Just now I was worried that there would be no one to guide me when I arrived in Hengshan, but now it's okay, I will go with Mr., and I will work under Mr. in the future, so I won't worry about this."

Li Gang laughed at himself for a few words, but he also accepted this order, from Zhan Shi, the prince of the East Palace, to a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and then demoted to Yanshi County, and now he has been promoted to Hengshan Taishou, Li Gang has had ups and downs for most of the past six months, but he is also used to it.

After going through this time, he didn't resist going to Hengshan now, but thought it was an opportunity to do practical things.

"The sage is also considerate of my old age, and he specially chose a young talent like you to be my deputy, and I will rely on you more in the future."

"I still need more guidance from my husband!"

The two of them said with a smile, but they were not afraid and worried about the new position they were about to take.

Palace.

After Luo Cheng listened to the report of the Imperial City Division, he smiled when he heard the reaction of Li Gang and Ma Zhou after receiving the order.

"I hope that this old and young people can help in Hengshan County, just like in Yanshi County, and do a prosperous job."

"Did the saint promote Ma Zhou too quickly?" Wang Jue, the secretary supervisor, said that after all, Ma Zhou was the secretary of his secretary province before, even if Ma Zhou did not stay in the secretary province for a day.

However, Wang Jue's words were not to plant thorns for Ma Zhou, but to love him.

After all, Mu Xiu will be urged by Lin Feng, Ma Zhouben is clothed, and as a result, the emperor summoned him and wanted to award him the imperial history, but he refused to participate in the imperial examination.

Now in such a short period of time, he has to go from the idle from the sixth rank to the fifth grade of the county chief.

"The old minister is afraid that it will be unfavorable to Ma Zhou, Ma Zhou has been in Yanshi for a few months, and the old minister has been paying attention to it, this is indeed a young man who is willing to do practical things and has real talents, capable and willing to fight, sharpened, and will be a talent in the future, I am afraid that this will be promoted too quickly and ruined. In that case, it would be the loss of Great Qin. ”

Luo Cheng had another idea.

"Ma Zhou is capable and willing to fight, then what he needs is a chance, I give him a chance, and I am not afraid that he will make mistakes. Hengshan County is now newly recovered, and there are all kinds of waste waiting for new ones, especially when it is still experiencing a catastrophe and has not yet recovered, Ma Zhou has experience in Yanshi disaster relief, and it is just right to play when he gets there. ”

"Especially the current situation in Hengshan, remote and backward, just give him a play, even if he doesn't do a good job, it doesn't matter, you can try and make mistakes, what young people are most afraid of is not to make mistakes, but to have no chance, slowly wear out their passion, and finally disappear from everyone. I am also optimistic about Ma Zhou, the seedling of the prime minister, and hope that he can become a famous minister in the future. ”

Hearing the emperor say this, Wang Jue let go of his worries.

"The saints, Jiangdong Shen Fahe and Jiangxi Lin Shihong have asked for food for disaster relief several times, and now they have connected several twists and turns, which is really urgent."

"He asks for food, and he borrows it, but he has to have a mortgage. It was borrowed from him, not given to him. ”

Wang Jue was puzzled, "What can they use as a guarantee?" ”

"Why not, it's always okay to exchange money and silk for grain, you can also use craftsmen to exchange it, gold and silver are fine, in short, anything valuable can be exchanged for it. I can give them food, but not in vain, and I will give him as much food as he can give him. ”

"There's really nothing to change, even armor and weapons, slaves, cattle and horses, wood and charcoal!"

"If you want food, you have to pay a price." Luo Cheng didn't plan to level the Jiangnan Second Domain for the time being, but that didn't mean that he had to rescue their food.
