Chapter 15 The two superintendents are famous men
At the boundary of Lujiang County, a crowd of black oppressors stood there, with nearly 100 people, most of whom were officials in the county, and some were officials from Tateshi County.
Like the first time he came to Lujiang, Xu Chu still walked the road of Tatexian County.
Zhou Yi and Yao Sheng stood at the front of the crowd, with black robes and high crowns, carrying seals and ribbons at their waists, looking into the distance from time to time.
Xu Chu and Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Gan Ning, Dian Wei and other civil and military dignitaries threw off the large army and rode their horses first.
When the two sides met, Zhou Yi and Yao Sheng took the lead and fell to the ground, and said in unison: "Congratulations on the victorious return of the Ming Mansion!" ”
Xu Chu was happy in his heart, and said with a reproach on his face: "The autumn harvest is coming soon, and the preparation of the Kou is about to be done, what are you doing when you don't stay in the county government?" ”
Casually said, gently brought over, Xu Chu introduced Xun Yu to Yao Sheng and Zhou Yi.
Yao Sheng recognized Xun Wenruo, and said excitedly at the moment: "I don't want Yingyin 'Wang Zuozhicai', and now I have come to Lujiang!" ”
Zhou Yi had never known Xun Yu before, but Xun Yu's name, he had never heard of it, and said eagerly: "The Xun family has been famous for generations, and Xun Jun is erudite and talented, and it is inevitable that he will disturb Xun Jun in the future." ”
Zhou Yi and Yao Sheng, one is a Lujiang county wang, and the other is a Wu county celebrity, but after seeing Xun Yu, they all secretly put away their old self-esteem, Xun's fame, Xun Yu's own influence, which can be seen.
......
......
From Tatexian County to Shu County, it almost crosses the entire Lujiang County.
Xu Chu rode along with Xun Yu, Yao Sheng, Zhou Yi, Guo Jia and others all the way, and gave Xun Yu a little introduction to the situation of Lujiang. In fact, even if Xu Chu and the others didn't say it, Xun Yu also paid extra attention.
Roughly speaking, the people in the townships and pavilions of the counties in Lujiang County are poorer than those in Yingchuan. This has something to do with the geographical environment, and it also has something to do with the Shangao Emperor of Lujiang County.
Every time he passed a pavilion, Xun Yu went to the pavilion to sit down and asked the pavilion chief about the general situation of the pavilion.
Fujun drove on the right, the little pavilion chief naturally told the truth, all the way to ask more than ten pavilion chiefs, Xun Yu got the message: the people of the township pavilion and Yingchuan County, there are rich and poor, but the rich and poor are more disparity than Yingchuan County.
The family of the rich has its own manor, hundreds of acres of fertile land, with apprentices, doormen, carriages and horses, concubines and maids at home, brocade clothes and food. The poor have no long belongings, and they toiled day after day for 365 days a year, and they could not eat enough, nor could they have enough clothing.
Xun Yu combined the situation he had learned, in terms of proportion, on average, one or two households were relatively wealthy at most, barely fed, and the middle-aged families with tens of thousands of dollars accounted for about 12 out of 10, and the rest were poor families.
Looking at it this way, it really made Xun Yu feel shocked.
In Yingchuan County, where there are many wars, the county and county officials are not very honest, Rao is so, and the people are not poor to the point of being like Lujiang County, it is conceivable that this situation is definitely not caused by a certain reason, but by a mixture of multiple reasons.
Now that he has decided to be in the same boat with Xu Chu through thick and thin, Xun Yu inevitably made a mistake and began to think carefully about countermeasures.
On the evening of this day, everyone arrived in Lixian County, stayed in the county temple, and when everyone was eating, Xun Yu talked about it.
Yao Sheng asked, "Xun Jun already has a good plan?" ”
Everyone looked at Xun Yu with a brush, but Xun Yu looked at Xu Chu, stood up, and said, "Yu Bucai, I want to borrow a thing from the Ming Mansion for use." ”
Xu Chu wondered: "What? ”
Xun Yu said succinctly: "Wei." ”
"......, how do you borrow it?"
"Ask for a hundred stone officials, and you can borrow the power of the Ming Mansion."
At this point, everyone understands. A small official with a hundred stones, but he can use the power of the county guard, then there is only the county governor and the post. The superintendent is responsible for supervising the officials of the whole county, and has the role of promoting treachery and eliminating corruption, and is called a hundred stone officials, which is actually very powerful.
Linked to what Xun Yu did on the way, it is not difficult to see that he is going to be the 'minions of the county' and take care of the rule of the officials in Lujiang.
Almost without the slightest hesitation, Xu Chu agreed to Xun Yu's request, the territory of Lujiang County is not small, it is difficult for a post supervisor to take care of the entire county, after agreeing to Xun Yu, Xu Chu thought about it and said: "When I entered the government last year, I looked at the documents left by the late Taishou Lu Gong, and there were two permanent post supervisors in the county, one was the post supervisor in the north of the county, and the other was the post supervisor in the south of the county. As usual, I mean that if Xun Wen is the superintendent of the southern post, as for the superintendent of the northern post, who is willing to take on this responsibility? ”
After speaking, he glanced at the hall, and his eyes gradually fell on Yao Sheng.
Yao Sheng had experience in governing the county, but he was a follower who had been in politics for many years, and he was very familiar with the lawlessness of officials at all levels, so Xu Chu's favorite candidate was actually Yao Sheng.
But although Yao Sheng also expected this, he was unwilling to be the northern superintendent.
Back then, he had been a Xiangxian order, and then he was recruited by the General's Mansion as a Peng official, just last year, he was already Zhou Xin as the captain of Danyang, and now let him put down his body to be a hundred stone officials, it is indeed a bit difficult for a strong man.
His eyes stayed on Yao Sheng for a while, and seeing that he seemed to be uninterested, Xu Chu fixed his eyes on Xin Bi again.
Seeing Xu Chu's gaze, Xin Bi did not hesitate to come out and said: "I volunteered to be brave below, and I am willing to share my worries for the prince." ”
Yao Sheng was unwilling, but Xin Bi was happy to see it, but this was because Xin Bi was at home before, and he came to Lujiang with Xu Chu as soon as he came out. Just imagine, with Xinbi's family background, he should have been out of office by the county court, and he came back with the army, which is considered to have been exercised, and now he is the governor of the northern post, and he has both military and political qualifications, as if it can be regarded as a step into the body for the future to block one side and keep the prime minister.
Xu Chu guessed most of the thoughts of Xun Yu, Xin Bi, Yao Sheng and others, and immediately smiled slightly and said: "George was born in a famous family, and the post of postal supervisor in the north is exactly where Jun Da shows his talents. ”
Simbi humbled himself a few words and returned to his seat.
......
......
After the meal, everyone went back to their accommodation.
After the appointment of Xun Yu and Xin Bi, Xu Shu found Xi Zhong and said to him: "Zhicai, the lord is now using Yingchuan celebrities to supervise the north and south, and I am afraid that there will be waves in the hearts of the local scholars." ”
Xi Zhong understood what Xu Shu meant, Xun Yu and Xin Bi had two things in common - one is that neither of them is from Yangzhou, and the other is that both of them are from famous families. Xu Chu arranged such two people to the position of supervising the post in the north and south, which would indeed have a great impact on the local scholar forces. Especially at this point in time when Xu Chu had just returned from the front line of the fight against Dong, it was easy for the local scholars in Yangzhou who were officials in the county to have the idea of 'does Xu Chu want to rectify the rule of officials and carry out a big blood change'.
"Yuan Zhi, maybe the Lord Justice is going to make a big change to the officials in the county?"
"Zhicai thinks it's feasible?"
"Why not? At this extraordinary time, the county commanders and chiefs of more than ten counties in Lujiang are not the confidants of the lord, and once they encounter war, it will be very unfavorable. Besides, Yuan Zhi, you and I are both from poor families, how hateful county and township officials are like tigers and wolves, don't you know? ”
Xu Shu smiled bitterly: "This time, that time." Although the little officials are evil, but without them, who will do the things, is it possible that a few of us have to do everything ourselves? ”
Xi Zhong persuaded: "Yuan Zhi, who is Xun Wenruo? If he asks for a post, how can he have no certainty in his heart? And relax. ”
