"This matter is still a kid Meng Lang, who did it without reporting it to the envoy first."

In the hall, Li Xiao, who hurriedly changed his clothes and rushed to meet Liu Xianling, also took the initiative to ask for a crime first.

He knew in his heart that the sudden arrival of the Liuxian Order must have something to do with the Township Covenant Hall.

Although the Township Covenant Hall is actually a non-governmental organization spontaneously organized by the villagers, it is an organization after all.

"San Lang, you've done a good job. There are relics in the township, but as a county parent, I failed to find out in time and recommend talents to the top, which is a certain dereliction of duty. ”

Liuxian Ling was very polite to Li Xiao, not only because Li Xiao did a beautiful job this time, but also because Li Xiao also had a relationship with the fourth child of the Liuxian Ling family, and Li Xiao also had a very good relationship with Xue Rengui's son, and he was Xue Rengui's brother-in-law, so it was also his own family.

"San Lang, I was shocked when I heard about the changes in Lanxi Township in the county. Tell me how you did all this? ”

Liuxian Ling is also straight to the point, and this time he is here to learn from the scriptures.

"In fact, we are just helping ourselves, natural disasters are ruthless, there is no rain for a long time, if we don't help ourselves, we will sigh in vain. So-and-so is just taking the lead, everything is everyone's concerted efforts. ”

Liu Xian Ling laughed a few times.

He has also stayed in Lantian for some time, how can he not know the situation of Lanxi, not to mention Lanxi, it is the entire Lantian County, although the road is the land of Gyeonggi, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, but because it is in the Qinling Mountains, it has always been a poor and remote place.

The ancients said that poor mountains and bad waters produce bad people, which is roughly true.

The more people in the ravine, the more they managed, the more vicious they became, and there were no fewer dead people in the past when they fought for water. Li Xiao said that everyone should help themselves, and what he said to work together, this is true, but if all this is not promoted by an important person, it is impossible.

Liu County's order is actually not here to be held accountable, he wants to know how Li Xiao did all this, so that a group of Diao people can do this, he wants to know, and then pushes this law to all townships in the county.

If in the midst of this drought, he can make Lantian County what Lanxi Township is like now, and ensure that there will be some harvest this year and that there will be no hungry people in the summer, then it will be a great achievement.

At that time, you can also write a recital to play this experience to the court, and at that time, you can not only get an excellent assessment and evaluation, but even if you can't say it well, you can be directly promoted to an official.

"Method, what method made Lanxi have the current situation, please don't hide it from me!"

"How dare you." Li Xiao hurriedly waved his hand.

Some things are not difficult to say, but it is not easy to say that they are actually not easy. Judging from the situation in Lanxi Township, if it weren't for Li Xiao's good reputation and prestige here, it would be extremely difficult to take the lead in this matter.

In Lanxi Township, there are more than 1,200 households, of which 800 have joined Li Xiao's cooperative, and many children of families are studying at Li Xiao's Lanxi Academy.

However, people are also tenants of Li Xiao's family.

In such a situation, Li Xiao could have responded to every call, not to mention that Li Xiao was so active and enthusiastic, and he was very methodical and fair in doing things.

The township covenant hall is not his one-person hall, but elects councillors and councilors. Even in the handling of production reduction and disaster relief, he also took out his own good land for everyone to plant, if it wasn't for him, the largest landlord, to take the lead, how would the other landlords in Lanxi Township be willing?

A snake can't do without a head, and he must have an example in everything he does.

Li Xiao took the lead and acted fairly, so that everyone would be willing to listen.

To tell the truth, even if he told the county order of Lanxi Township truthfully, the county order may not be implemented in other townships.

"San Lang, you also have a very good relationship with my family Shiro, and you are also close to my sister's son Xue Wulang, what about me, I am not only your parents, but also can call myself your elder, right?"

Liu Xianling said with a gentle smile, this is playing the emotional card.

"In fact, the key to the change of Lanxi Township now lies in the Township Covenant Hall, and the key to the Township Covenant Hall lies in the autonomy of the villagers. It is not the county that appoints someone to manage it, but the villagers themselves have to elect their own trusted representatives. Li Xiao said.

"Just build a township covenant and make a villager covenant?" Liu County Ling didn't believe it.

Naturally, things are not so simple, but some things are not clear, and without someone with a certain prestige in the township to take the lead, things are not easy to handle.

"San Lang, you are very talented, especially after this incident, I have seen your talent even more. With such talent, it was a waste to stay in the country. You should come out and do something, and if you want, I'm willing to recommend you to be the county clerk and come to the county to help me. After recording for a term and making some achievements, it is easy to transfer to the official career, which can be regarded as a level of origin. ”

Liu County's order is still very sincere, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he will recommend Li Xiao as the recorder of Lantian County.

The county record, this is the biggest stroke that Liu County Ling can do.

The county records belonged to officials in the Tang Dynasty.

There were many officials in the local states and counties in the Tang Dynasty, but there were only a few officials such as Zuo and Shi who were pure officials, and more officials, such as Bai Zhi, Zhidao, and Prison, were actually Xu, that is, professional service.

Although the Tang Dynasty separated the officials and officials through the exile, there are still a large number of officials in addition to the exile officials, and they belong to miscellaneous duties.

The Xu official system of the Tang Dynasty is actually composed of three parts: internal officials, external officials, and miscellaneous officials.

The county is the lowest level of the grassroots organization in Datang. The county magistrate is the highest magistrate of the county, in charge of the affairs of the county, and due to the busy public affairs, several bureaucrats have been set up under it, including the county clerk, the chief bookkeeper, and the county lieutenant, who are in charge of affairs.

Among them, the main book checks and corrects the errors.

The county clerk is the deputy of the county bookkeeper, assisting the master bookkeeper in handling picketing and non-violations, which is an intermediate class between officials and officials.

There are seven grades in each county in the Tang Dynasty, Lantian is the high-grade Qi County, the county master book is on the nine grades, and there are two things under the main book, and there is no grade.

To put it bluntly, the work responsibility of the county clerk is probably to check all administrative affairs related to the government, and all the copywriting of the county government must be checked by the clerk, which is probably equivalent to the director of the county office in later generations, which is very important and professional.

In Lantian County, there are only high-level officials such as the county order, the county officer, the chief bookkeeper, and the county lieutenant, and under these four heads, the county record is the highest, so as soon as the Liu County order opens his mouth, he will recommend Li Xiao to be the record, which can be regarded as a very low cost.

According to the usual practice, the selection of county records is generally necessary to choose the people of the state, the first to take the state of the five rank or above, if there is no suitable one, then take the sixth rank of the rank of the rank or less, even Bai Ding can also be.

The county recorder does not need to be selected by the imperial court officials, but is selected and hired by the local government itself, so the Liuxian order said that Li Xiao can be recommended to be the recorder. He gave a letter of recommendation, and then as long as the state government did not veto it, there would be no problem, and generally the state government would not veto such a small appointment.

It stands to reason that Liu Xianling felt that Li Xiao should be willing. Li Xiao is just a landlord in the township, although he has a rank outside the stream, but it is just an empty title, and it is actually useless to say that the outside product is actually useless.

Li Xiao used to make cooperatives and township covenant halls, which made Liu County Ling feel that Li Xiao was a person who wanted to take care of things, so the county records could be regarded as the fifth in command in the county, and they were better than the chairman of the township covenant hall.

Then, to his surprise, Li Xiao directly refused.

Li Xiao really doesn't want to be an official, the so-called being an official has to be managed by others, once he enters the officialdom, it is as deep as the sea, how can he be so free now.

He is still a little afraid of officialdom, and it is not easy for people with no roots and no foundation to enter the troubled waters.

It's good to stay in the countryside and build a cooperative, in fact, you can manage hundreds of households, and now you have a township covenant hall, and in Lanxi Township, he has the final say.

is not a person in the officialdom, but it is better than being in the officialdom, and Lanxi has to listen to his arrangements for five miles, isn't this more comfortable than any county record.

Besides, he really wants to be an official, and last time he directly agreed to the call of the imperial court, wouldn't it be better to go to the Eastern Expedition military camp to be a recorder and join the army, then he is still a seven-rank official, which is a few grades higher than the direct boss of the county record, and the main book is only nine grades.

"San Lang don't dislike the small recorder of this county, you may not know that among the officials of the local state and county of the imperial court, the recorder is a relatively special position. is not better than officials such as Zuo and Shi, nor is it better than officials such as wardens and knives, and the recorder has a chance to be promoted to an official. ”

The separation of officials is a barrier that has been formed for many years, and officials and officials are not connected, and officials have no chance to be officials, which is the practice of officialdom.

But sometimes there are exceptions, this record is an exception, although the county record has no grade and no rank, but the county record is because of the particularity of his work, so he is the fifth in command in the daily practice, so as long as he does a good job, then the county record is qualified to have the opportunity to be promoted to a high-grade official.

Although the probability of such a promotion is not high, and the promotion has to climb slowly step by step, which is much slower than that of other officials, at least this is an excellent opportunity to enter the official career.

If you are a Zuo Ahshi, you will be rolling in the sea of officials for the rest of your life, and you don't want to be an official at all. If you are a pawn and a knife, it is even more unstaged.

"Thank you for your love, I can't accept it."

Liu Xian Ling touched his nose, his face was a little unsightly, he bent down to invite him so much, but he was still refused.

"The county gentleman, Fei Xiao is unwilling to give the county gentleman face, and he is really aspiring to officialdom. In fact, the county gentleman does not have to be reluctant, if the county gentleman has something to need, but he will not shirk if he asks for it. ”

After all, the Liuxian Order is a county order, a county parent official, not to mention that Li Xiao has a good relationship with Liu Wen, the son of the Liuxian Order, even if there is no such relationship, it cannot be easily offended.

He doesn't want to be an official, but if he doesn't want to be an official, he can also help the county order make suggestions.

As Liu County's personal staff and military advisor, Liuxian Ling can call him a friend, a guest, or simply call him a master.
