Chapter 18 The crowd is in turmoil
Perhaps in Xun Yu's heart, he had already woven a big net for the unjudicial officials and Haoqiang in the county, Xu Chu did not hesitate, and directly ordered someone to take the tiger talisman.
Lujiang County's troop transfer tiger charm is a crouching tiger shape, cast from copper, and the tiger is engraved with inscriptions.
Xu Chu took the tiger talisman from Dian Wei's hand, pulled it in half, and handed half to Xun Yu.
Xun Yu saw that Xu Chu didn't mean to ask him the reason at all, and the trust in Xu Chu in his heart was very useful, and said with a smile: "Zhongkang is not afraid that I will die?" ”
On formal occasions such as lobby discussions, Xun Yu called Xu Chu the prince of the mansion and the Ming mansion, and he was still used to calling Xu Chu in private.
It was rare to hear a joke from Xun Yu's mouth, Xu Chu snorted very cooperatively, handed over the other half of the tiger talisman to Dian Wei, and said, "Ah Wei, you hand over this half of the tiger talisman to General Xu." ”
In addition to Xu Chu's title of general of the Huya, only Xu Shu is the general of the marching division in the entire Lujiang River.
……
……
The next day, Xun Yu got up early in the morning, changed into an official robe, put on a superintendent's postal seal, and ordered his entourage to invite Liu Bei.
After Liu Bei arrived, Xun Yu explained: "Liu Jun, when you go to the Post Office later, don't say anything, just look at my face and act." ”
Liu Bei bowed his head and said respectfully: "Obey the orders of the Peng Department." ”
Seeing Liu Bei so restrained and polite, Xun Yu was a little surprised, and it was rumored that Liu Bei was a hero of Zhuojun who started with military merits, but his words and deeds were so meticulous, it was really strange.
didn't ask much at the moment, went out of the room, and rushed straight to the post office. The post office of Lujiang is in the Taishou Mansion, which is divided into two small courtyards, one is the southern post office and the other is the north post office. Compared with the rest of the Cao in the county, the Post Office is very special, first of all, its subordinate officials are much less than the Zhu Cao, and secondly, its authority is located, and it needs to patrol the counties in the ministry all the year round, so the subordinate officials generally do not stay in the courtyard, so it becomes more and more deserted. This is also why the Post Governor's House was simply placed in the Taishou Mansion, and did not build another house like the rest of the Zhucao.
When Xun Yu arrived, the gate of the Northern Post Office was locked, thinking that Xin Bi had not yet decided to take up his post, and all the officials in the hospital were out.
When he stepped into the Southern Post Governor's Courtyard, he was immediately greeted by a small official, glanced at Xun Yu and Liu Bei strangely, and asked, "Who are the two of you?" ”
Xun Yu and Liu Bei came to Lujiang for the first time, and the officials in the county didn't know them, because they had a question.
Xun Yu smiled slightly, and took out the book from his arms that was stamped with the seal of Xu Chu Lujiang Taishou, and Liu Bei also took out the book.
The little official took the book, read it carefully, and hurriedly saluted: "It turns out that Jun is Yingyin Xun Wenruo, who has admired the name for a long time, and admired the name for a long time!" ”
Liu Bei sighed secretly in his heart: This person did not greet the new Peng Department first, but first received him with the gift of a celebrity...... Xun Jun's family background is really famous all over the world.
He sighed secretly, the little official had already walked towards the house, and after a while, a group of people hurriedly came out of it and bowed down to see Xun Yu. Xun Yu counted the heads, there were five scholars and small officials, and they helped them up one by one, asked their names and origins with a pleasant face, and then said: "I have just arrived, I don't know the story of the county's conventions, and I will ask you for more advice in the future." ”
The little officials didn't dare to say anything.
After saying these words, Xun Yu introduced Liu Bei's identity to everyone, and all the small officials saw a new colleague, and they all said a few polite words, but the eagerness in their eyes was obviously not as hot as when they treated Xun Yu.
The work of the superintendent is mainly to go to the county, and when he has to go to the place, he is very idle when he is in the courtyard, and there is nothing to do. After Xun Yu saw the small officials, he asked them to move the official documents left by the former superintendent and stack them on the side of his case, and then asked them to go separately, and Yu Liu Bei and the two stayed in the hall and looked through the documents together.
There are two large boxes of documents left by the previous post governors, and Xun Yu never intended to read them all, but asked Liu Bei to help pick out the case files left by the previous post governors. The number is not very much, twenty rolls of bamboo slips.
Xun Yu said: "Liu Jun, please help me choose together, and everything that involves officials and powerful lawless things will be placed on my case." ”
Liu Bei nodded, he had been An Xiwei, and he was relatively familiar with doing things, so he took a bunch of bamboo slips and flipped through them.
The job of supervising postal services, as the name suggests, was originally only to supervise the postal offices of various counties, and with the passage of time, the responsibilities of postal supervisors gradually became heavier. From recruiting prisoners and collecting grain rents, to chasing down thieves and investigating criminals, and so on, they can all be dealt with by edict.
The former post supervisor is the son of a wealthy family in Juchao County, surnamed Qin, Xun Yu and Liu Bei After reading his case files one by one, they found that they recorded some trivial things such as the escape of a certain thief.
Liu Bei laughed and said: "This person must have accepted bribes from the counties, so he avoided the important and lightened, and he has been the southern governor for so long, but he has not even investigated and dealt with a single official and powerful lawlessness." ”
Xun Yu asked, "Why did Liu Jun say that?" ”
Liu Bei said: "Xun Peng, this matter couldn't be more obvious. Although you and I are kings and marquis across this county, everything we see and hear on the road is the suffering of the people, if the officials rule clearly, it will not be like this. Since the administration of officials is not clear, why is there no record in the postal documents of the former governor? It must be because of his local family and the fact that there is a matter of bribery. ”
Liu Bei was filled with righteous indignation when he spoke, and he looked extremely angry, Xun Yu saw it, but he muttered again, I don't know why Liu Bei, who was humble and full of arms, was so excited when he talked about the rule of officials. What he didn't know was that Liu Bei had lost his official position because of the post supervisor sent by the county when he was in office, and the post supervisor was about to dismiss him from his official position if he didn't see Liu Bei, and finally Liu Bei was angry and beat him up, and abandoned the official and left.
Xun Yu had no intention of studying Liu Bei's thoughts, and said: "If Liu Jun is unfortunate enough to say it, it is exactly what I want." ”
……
……
After the news spread that Xun Yu and Xin Bi were appointed as the superintendents of the southern and northern provinces, Xu Chu has been concerned about the reactions of the local scholars, officials, and Haoqiang, and has already cast people in various counties to find out the news.
In the past few days, I have been receiving reports, some from the counties in the county, and more from the county Zhishu County.
Xu Chu held an internal meeting to discuss this matter with everyone, and Cai Yong also participated in this meeting.
Cai Yong's reputation was too high and his qualifications were too old, Xu Chu couldn't think of what position he would give him for a while, so he had no choice but to come to the door in person and let him temporarily succumb to him as a strategist. To Xu Chu's surprise, it seemed that this statement was extremely popular with Cai Yong, and he happily agreed, and instructed Xu Chu to let him participate in the decision whenever there was something important in the future.
Xu Chu picked up a bowl of hot soup, personally put it on Cai Yong's case, and said respectfully: "Cai Gong, as soon as the news of Xun and Xin Erjun as the post supervisor spread, there was a lot of discussion and excitement in the four places. ”
