Chapter Twenty-Eight: Three Fires for New Officials to Take Office 1
Let's say that after Cao De arrived in Nanzheng. The first thing www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion is to close the door. None of the visitors were gone. No one knows what Cao De is doing in his own home. It wasn't until the third day that Cao De walked into his office. The first is to call the nine county commanders of Hanzhong County. And at this time, the holy decree from Luoyang also arrived.
After everyone arrives. Cao De looked around. The first was the announcement of new appointments. Ren Jiaxu was the main bookkeeper, Cao Ren was appointed as the captain, and Zhang Fei was the captain. The rest of them are doing their jobs for the time being.
The other is to change the nine counties of Hanzhong County to seven counties. Remove Anyang County and Xi County. Seven of the nine prefectures were retained, and the other two were appointed to the Taishou Mansion.
But Cao De still disrupted the appointment of the seven county orders. May the Chenggu County order take office in Shangyong County, and may the Shangyong County Order take office in Chenggu County, and so on.
After Cao De appointed him, he was immediately unanimously opposed by the nine county magistrates. Cao De immediately ordered his subordinates to serve nine bowls of wine and nine knives.
Since I'm here to do this, it's too guarded. My official is the greatest. It doesn't matter if you listen or not, I just say it. If you still want to continue to do it, just drink this bowl of wine, and we are still good colleagues. If you don't agree with me, this knife will not only cut you in the neck, but your whole family. Weigh yourselves, and see which one is worth it.
Under the obscenity of Cao De Carrot and ten knife and axe hands. The nine county magistrates had to give in. However, Cao De's other sentence immediately dispelled the doubts of the county commanders. "If I do a good job, I can consider a pullback, or move my family."
Immediately afterwards, Cao De took out the holy decree from Luoyang. You see, I, the Taishou Lord, was robbed at the door of my house, so it's a bit unreasonable not to do something. Go, transfer half of the soldiers in each of your counties to me first, and then I will go to the mountains to take revenge while I practice.
In this way, Cao De took the holy decree and got nearly 3,000 soldiers. Cao De handed over the 3,000 people to Cao Ren. instructed: "Practice hard first, this is our family background." ”
After the nine county commanders left. Cao De walked to his study. But Jia Xu spontaneously followed Cao De into the study. After Jia Xu entered the door. Cao De closed the door and instructed the guards at the door: "Go far away, no one is allowed to come in." ”
Wait for the guards to leave. Cao De sat cross-legged at the back of the bookcase. First of all, he stopped Jia Xu's questioning and said, "Sir, I know what you have to say. This will offend the nobles and will be detrimental to future management. Right? Cao De didn't wait for Jia Xu to reply, and immediately said: "However, all the scholar clans are basically headed by the local county order, if I don't do this, they will make it easier for me to stumble." After the scholars were offended, they could ease the relationship again, but I was overthrown by them, and I couldn't get up again. ”
Jia Xu heard it and hugged his fist at Cao De. "The lord's concerns are reasonable, and he is more thoughtful."
Cao De waved his hand: "Sir, there is another big thing that you need to do in person." After the seven prefectural commanders take office. It's up to you to supervise everywhere personally. Those who bend the law for personal gain should be investigated and dealt with immediately, leaving no chance. You can't ask for officials who harm the people. After the investigation, you will personally find a suitable person to serve as the county magistrate. Cloth clothes are also available. ”
Cao De saw a deep shock in Jia Xu's eyes. This shock was not due to the investigation of the scholars. Instead, cloth clothes can also be used as county orders. This is a first-of-its-kind.
Before Jia Xu could finish his shock, Cao De threw another bombshell. "This is just the beginning, and the big drama is still to come. I'll let them call me Cao Peel. Jia Xu looked at Cao De's sneer, and couldn't help but feel for the first time why Cao De was so terrible.
But Cao De couldn't help but feel a headache. Because Cao De still has a lot of ideas in his head. But Cao De sadly found that no one was available. This time, Cao De took office in Hanzhong. The only ones who can be trusted the most are Jia Xu, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Fei. But Jia Xu was in charge of supervising the officials. Xiahou Yuan was hiding with more than 100 soldiers near Luogu. Cao Ren wants to train the troops. Zhang Fei is a simple person. Cao De is quite uneasy about doing other things. And he himself has to sit in Nanzheng.
As a last resort, Cao De had to put his hot blood pressure down first. An'an began to select talents.
So, it didn't take a few days. The people of Hanzhong County talked about the most about the notice posted by Cao De.
"Zhang Laosan, what do you mean by the notice posted in the Taishou Mansion?" In a tavern in Shangyong County, three men who were drinking were discussing.
"It's hard to say. Although the notice says. Anyone who has talent in his heart and wants to do great things can go to that Naxian Pavilion to report. Then the unified exam. I don't understand, but it's said that this Taishou is new. What is this for? The person who was called Zhang Laosan shook his head and said with a puzzled expression.
"By the way, Zhang Laosan, doesn't your son always hold a book when he works in the field all day, why don't you let your son try it." Another companion interjected.
Zhang Laosan immediately shook his head after hearing this. "Who knows what these officials are playing. I'm such a lone seedling, what can I do if there's a good one? ”
"Alas, the third child. That's not right. The notice was posted from the Taishou Mansion. You say you have no money, and you have no power. What are the people in the Taishou Mansion lying to you? ”
There was a hint of hesitation in Zhang Laosan's eyes, but he still shook his head.
Gradually, the three of them seemed to lose interest in continuing the conversation. After checking out, I went home. Zhang Laosan walked on the way home and kept thinking about whether his baby son should give it a try.
When Zhang Laosan came home, he found his baby. He was running out of the house with an excited face. "Dad, I have good news for you. Li Gan from the next village went to the Naxian Pavilion yesterday. was recruited as a little history by the old man. How many books did he read. If I go, I can't be taller than him. ”
Zhang Laohan listened. The hesitation in my heart suddenly disappeared. immediately took his son and hurried to the Naxian Pavilion.
Originally. After Cao De established the Naxian Pavilion and posted the notice. For two days there was no one to care. Cao De couldn't help it. Someone first made a support, and then grabbed a few random people from the street. gave people a little money and went to the Naxian Hall to sign up. Then I generously rewarded a few civil servant positions that did not hurt or itch. So, on the fourth day, the door of the Naxian Pavilion had been crowded by people who had heard the news.
Cao De drew on the experience of later generations. Everyone who comes to register will get a test paper. The so-called test paper actually has only three questions. The first question is what you would do if you picked up twenty big coins on a road where no one was around. Question 2: What would you do if you saw a man beating a beggar? The third question is whether you have eaten enough and how well you have eaten.
After the so-called exam questions were discovered, Cao De sat bitterly in a large courtyard. In front of him were forty low bookcases. There were forty young men dressed in various clothes, looking down at the bamboo slips in a daze. In front of Cao De, there was a bamboo slip that looked like a hill.
Cao De casually pulled out a bamboo slip. Within ten seconds of opening it, it was thrown on the left side of the bookcase. With the arrival of batches of young people with the dream of one step to the sky. Cao De's face became more and more ugly. Why, because Cao De couldn't see a satisfactory answer.
The first day of the exam slowly passed in Cao De's dizziness. On the second day, Cao De found that there seemed to be more people. Cao De rubbed his eyes, which were still sour. couldn't help laughing at himself: "Look at what I'm doing." Find your own guilt. ”
But Cao De still continued to approve the answers of those poor children. Just when Cao De was about to feel like he had nothing to gain again. Cao De saw a special answer. At the bottom of the first question, there are only eight simple words, which are not picked up or hidden, and someone else takes them. The answer to the second question is also very rational, ask the reason, and then make a decision. As for the third question, it is even more interesting, the man wrote that if you don't die of hunger, you will be full, and if you taste good, you will be good.
Cao De looked at the signature. My good dear, Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu is the Zhang Lu in the original history. Cao De waved his hand and called the guards: "Go, bring me this person." ”
The guards received the order and turned to leave. Cao De put Zhang Lu's answer sheet on his right hand. Then he continued to look at other bamboo slips. After a while, the guards led a well-dressed young man to Cao De's side. Cao De glanced up at the young man: "Are you Zhang Lu?" ”
"Exactly."
"Is this what you wrote?" Cao De handed over the bamboo slip on the right. The young man opened the bamboo slip and looked at it, and replied, "Yes." Cao De pointed to a pile of bamboo slips on the left side of his body and said, "Look at these answers." After that, Cao De no longer paid attention to the young man, and looked at the bamboo slips on the bookcase again.
Until the sun went down, Cao De didn't find a second answer that satisfied him. At this time, Zhang Lu, who was on the side, was still carefully looking at the bamboo slips on the ground.
Cao De stretched. called Zhang Lu, who was still looking at the bamboo slips. Let's go to the back together. Cao De didn't say anything to Zhang Lu along the way. Just walking silently.
After returning to Cao De's study. Cao De turned to look at Zhang Lu: "Do you know the original meaning of my three questions." Zhang Lu bowed and replied, "I can understand a little." "Then what do you think after reading other people's answers?" "Superficiality, not nature."
Cao De nodded. "Tomorrow you go to Master Jia to help. Alright, you go back first. ”
In fact, Cao De had already observed this young man named Zhang Lu for a day. Originally, according to Cao De's meaning, he wanted to ask about Zhang Lu's life experience and ideals and other things. But Cao De thought about it. Different environments will create people with different personalities. Although this Zhang Lu is very likely to be the Wudou Rice Sect Zhang Lu in later generations, it is very likely that there will be no more Wudou Rice Sect Zhang Lu due to the difference in the growth environment. And this Zhang Lu seems to be a talented person both in later generations and now. Let's use it first. We'll talk about that later. Therefore, Cao De arranged Zhang Lu to Jia Xu's side.
After two days of accommodating Zhang Lu, Cao De was not unhappy. So on the third day, Cao De continued to look at the monotonous bamboo slips with great interest. But for four days in a row, Cao De never found a talent who could make him excited. Cao De, a person with a bit of talent, saw three or four, and put a better choice than nothing, and Cao De continued to arrange them under Jia Xu's command.
The Zhaoxian Hall has been open for half a month. In this half month, Cao De took in a total of eight people. Among them, there are two that are more satisfactory to Cao De, one is Zhang Lu. The other was a man named Lugu.
This Lugu is as his name suggests. From the words he wrote, Cao De could see that this was a person who adhered to himself very well. Because the characters he writes are almost the same length, all of them are the same length, and the other strokes are also distributed according to the proportion of the glyphs, and it is impossible to see the slightest amount with the naked eye. And this person used to be a member of the Taishou Mansion. It's just that he offended people because of his personality and was driven back home. Now that I have joined the company again, it can be regarded as a bit of an advantage. Therefore, Cao De accepted this person named Lu Gu. And Cao De did not arrange Lu Gu to be under Jia Xu's command, and took him directly with him. Because of a person with a rigorous personality and meticulous work. It is the talent that Cao De lacks most now and needs very much in the future. Cao De was ready to inspect and then decentralize.
The remaining six people were all thrown to Jia Xu by Cao De. As for those who are not chosen, they will do whatever they need to do. In this recruitment, eight people were admitted out of six or seven hundred, which is already a large proportion.
As for the official officials in the original Taishou Mansion. It's not that Cao De doesn't want to use it, but he doesn't dare to use it. Because of some of the policies that Cao De introduced next. For those families now, the landlords have a certain amount of damage. Cao De is afraid that these old fritters will discount themselves when they are executed. Therefore, Cao De still let those people continue to serve in their positions step by step. And these eight people will become the main force of Cao De's 'burning Hanzhong'.
Now that there are people, we have to wait for them to get acquainted with it. You can't just be entrusted with a heavy task. Therefore, Cao De has been relaxed again in the past few days. Cao De suddenly remembered that he had asked Cao Ren to train three thousand soldiers. Moreover, the more than 100 people led by Xiahou Yuan should also come out. Therefore, Cao De first wrote a letter to Xiahou Yuan and asked Zhang Fei to send it over. Roughly speaking, the limelight has passed. You can come out. But he had to go out day and night, and go straight to the camp outside Nanzheng City. When you get there, make plans.
Only a few days later, Zhang Fei returned. Zhang Feiyi found Cao De. Cao De immediately put down his work. followed Zhang Fei to the camp outside the city.
Wait for Cao De to arrive. The 3,000 soldiers in the camp were already neatly arranged on the school grounds. Cao De took the lead and walked up to the point. They were followed by Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Fei. After Cao De walked to the stage, he looked at the more than 3,000 people in the audience. Flags flutter in the wind, swords and guns stand in a forest. Although this is a group of soldiers who have never been on the battlefield, under Cao Ren's training for more than half a month, at least the queue is very good.
But Cao De didn't give a lecture or anything like that. He still knows how much ink Cao De has in his stomach. So, Cao De only wandered around and looked at it a few times. directly got off the point. Got headlong into Cao Ren's tent.
Cao De sat on the main seat. Instructed Cao Rendao: "Zixiao, the two hundred soldiers from Luoyang." I'll leave it all to you. I believe that you and Miaocai have turned these 200 people into our own. I now need you to pick out some of them to be instructors, and the rest of them will be incorporated into the army. The whole army was trained first as axemen, siege soldiers and pikemen. After a few days I had money, bought horses, and trained cavalry. Yide will follow you to train the soldiers first, and Miaocai will follow me into the city. Recently, there are not enough people in the house. ”
Cao Ren and the others immediately said, "No." Cao De glanced at Cao Ren silently a few times and suppressed the doubts in his heart.
After that, Cao De took a look at the training ground and the soldiers' tents, and then stayed in the camp for half a day. In the afternoon, he led Xiahou Yuan back to Nanzheng City.
On the way, Cao De couldn't help but ask Xiahou Yuan: "Miaocai, in Zixiao's camp, you can understand my eyes." Here's why. ”
Cao De's eyes stared at Xiahou Yuan for a while. His eyes dodged and saw Cao De's firmness again, and then he replied: "Lord, not long after you arrived in Nanzheng and took up the post of Taishou. We received a letter. The letter said that the lord is no longer the original lord. From now on, the lord should have the majesty of the lord. A few of us agreed, so, that's why. ”
Cao De interrupted Xiahou Yuan. "It was written by Mr. Wenhe. I know. I only hope that you will not forget our brotherhood. With that, Cao De patted the horse's buttocks, and the horse suddenly accelerated and ran towards the south of Zhengcheng.
Xiahou Yuan sighed behind him. followed Cao De in the back.
