Chapter 68: The Troubles in Xiliang (2)

"I have a way to find the White Sand Snake." Xu Yan said: "When I was in the grass pavilion before, I learned some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, although Yinlin is only found in the desert of Xiliang, but it is not difficult to find, it is nothing more than to find its cave, give me three days, I will definitely be able to find it." ”

Wang Fugui and Xu Yan returned to the room, "The lord of the Ju Kingdom needs medicinal materials, if you don't need it, what are you looking for?" ”

"We can sell medicinal herbs to them to make money!"

"I know the money, the money, the money, we are here for the mission, just the lord of the Ju country, forget it." Wang Fugui said.

Xu Yan said: "Saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter." Although I don't want to make money, but think about it, if we give the medicine to Shao Wei in the name of Dou Guo and save Shao Changzhu, then wouldn't the contradictions between Dou and Ju be reduced a little? ”

"Smart, let's go find it."

"What we are, it's me going." Xu Yan said: "Don't forget your mission, you have to find out about the affairs of Eternal Silent Cool City, besides, if you go to the desert, you can only be a burden." ”

"It's like you've been there."

"I've really been there." Xu Yan said: "Prepare the camel quickly, I have to act quickly." Three days, if you can't find me, I'll come back, and you also have three days to find out about the Eternal Silence Cool City. ”

"Okay." Wang Fugui heard another noisy sound outside.

Xu Yan asked, "Won't there be another young master?" ”

"You're really right, crow's mouth." Wang Fugui saw that the people who came this time were very low-key compared to Shao Xinlai, and there were not many entourages around him, but Wang Fugui was too familiar with this face.

"Black's?"

"The son of the Black Kingdom Jealous King, Jin Yitian." Wang Fugui said: "The Leopard Torch Army fought with him a lot in the south, and I remember this old face." ”

Xu Yan asked, "Then can he recognize you?" ”

"I've been following King Qi...... No, the prince's side, can you not meet him? ”

"You have such a low-level official position, maybe he won't remember you."

"Hey, I'm a general now, okay?"

"How many people did Jin Yitian bring?"

Wang Fugui said: "It's just two, but I think there should be someone else in the inn, Jin Yitian is much more low-key than Shao Wei, but his skills are much better than Shao Wei, and it's normal not to bring too many people." ”

"What about your skills?"

"With all due respect, although it is not as good as Miss Xu, Miss Wu, the King of Thieves, and the Prince, it is more than enough to deal with Jin Yitian!"

"Then I'm relieved. I'm going to find the camels first, I'll have to do that beforehand. Xu Yan said: "Don't forget to go to the roof to listen again when you have time." ”

"Okay, there you go." Wang Fugui watched Xu Yan leave, regretted it again, and thought: Leave me here alone, who is Jin Yitian? I also beat him, and I wish I could go up to the roof and eavesdrop so that he could find out. Jin Yitian didn't know how to walk yet, so he followed his father in the army, and there were some masters of Wen Si and Wen Qian around him to teach martial arts in person, and it was good if I didn't ask him to die.

Wang Fugui wanted to go out to relieve himself, but he didn't expect to bump into Jin Yitian head-on.

Fugui was slightly embarrassed and didn't speak, Jin Yitian glanced at Wang Fugui, but didn't recognize who he was, and the two passed by.

"Huh-I'm going, I didn't even see me coming, I'm definitely getting more and more handsome and chic over the years, Jin Yitian can't recognize me." Wang Fugui thought to himself: Xu Yan is right, sure enough, my official position is too small, and Jin Yitian can't remember it......

Wang Fugui was going to the toilet when he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "Shizi, we will stay here for a day, and we will rush to Ju Kingdom tomorrow." It takes about two days, so you can rest here today. ”

Jin Yitian looked around and said to his subordinates: "Someone passed over from here just now, be careful when you speak, go in and talk." Wang Fugui lifted his pants, watched Jin Yitian enter the house, and thought: This kid is going to Ju Kingdom? What are you going to do in Ju country, do you want to buy a donkey? What's going on in Ju Country? King Ju is seriously ill, could it be that he went to visit King Ju? What does he think he's doing? Could it be that he was going to find Shao Wei or other Ju people? Or did you also come to Xiliang to sell people? No, Jin Yitian is a prince of the prince's mansion, and most of his envoys to other countries involve diplomacy! Anyway, let's leave this guy in Xiliang first.

People from Ju came to Xiliang to find medicine, people from Dou came to Xiliang to investigate, people from Hei went to Ju and passed by Xiliang, two of the people from the three countries had a very high status, and even Wang Fugui's status was not low. Three clusters of forces gathered in this place called "Ximen Inn".

……

At this time, not only was it busy outside, but Dou Guo's court was also presiding over a debate to solve the housing problem of officials.

The king of thieves believes that it is necessary to change the concept of "appointing officials in different places, and the state provides housing", the country is now no better than before, most officials serve the country all their lives, and they cannot finally end up returning to their hometown. For some officials with great official positions and high merits, the imperial court should come forward to solve their housing problems.

When it comes to the housing of officials, I am afraid it has to start from a long time ago.

"Official residence" is the residence of officials, because it is often connected with the official office, and now it is called "organ compound", so it is sometimes compatible with the meaning of office space. If it is expressed in modern terms, it probably means the housing of an institution, because not only is the ownership generally surnamed "official", that is, it is a state asset, but also often belongs to a certain official office, that is, a certain agency.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, officials at all levels have been appointed by the state, and most of them have the need to settle for residence in other places, whether they are recruited or recommended to serve as officials in the central government, or those who originally lived in Gyeonggi are sent to other places to serve as officials. Therefore, the provision of housing by the state to the officials who went to work gradually became institutionalized around the time of the Qin and Han dynasties.

"Book of Han" volume 39 records that Cao Shen was named a marquis, and he was a prince in Pingyang, but he successively served as the prime minister in Qi and the central government. This "Xiangshe" and "Officials' House" are synonymous with Xiangguo's residence and officials' dormitory, which should be provided by the state. Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, issued the "Tong'an Ji Order" to the whole country, saying: All those who are the princes will be given a seal ribbon to wear and a grand residence; Generals who reach the level of 2,000 stone can move to Chang'an and be given a second-class residence. This was, of course, a measure of preferential treatment for meritorious heroes during the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Looking at the 93rd volume of the "Book of Han", Dong Xian refused to go home to reunite with his wife on vacation days in order to invite Emperor Wai of the Han Dynasty to favor him, so Emperor Wai authorized Dong Xian's wife to move into his residence in the palace, "If the wife of the official lives in the official temple". According to this historical data, it can be known that by the late Western Han Dynasty at the latest, the families of officials could live in the housing of the government (official temple), which was already a common phenomenon. Volume 41 of the Book of Song records that Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty was born in the "Dantu Official House", and his father Liu Qiao was the Gongcao of Jinling County; "History of the Song Dynasty • Records of Filial Piety" records that Song Xiaozong was "born in the official residence of Qingshan in Xiuzhou", and his father Zhao Zi was an official in Xiuzhou; "CD Literature" records that Sima Guang was born in the official party of Pi County, and his father was the county lieutenant of the county at the time. In the third volume of "Quwei Old News", Ouyang Xiu was also "born in the official residence of the household" when his father joined the army in Mianzhou, and the descendants also changed this residence to "Liuyi Hall" to commemorate.
