Chapter 20: Unchanging Thoughts (8)
[Make up for yesterday's third update.] Looks like I'm going to get twelve o'clock next. γ
Wang Shao is very busy right now.
On the go.
Serving as an official in a position where everything is on the right track and has been functioning normally for hundreds of years is completely different from starting from scratch and building a yamen from scratch.
The most intuitive is the number of officials. The number of officials running in the Qinzhou Prefecture is dozens of times the number of officials, as many as three hundred, and almost all the general affairs in the government are completed by them. Many of the officials are passed down from father to son, familiar with the story, through the regulations, and everything can be done properly when the official business is in their hands, and the officials only need to do a good job of supervision.
But Guwei is different, it was originally a military village. Even the clerks and clerks were on military rations. The number of officials in front of the government is not only a handful, but simply zero. Wang Shao was ordered to set up the Marginal Pacification Division, even if the scribes who originally ate military rations were also included, it would not be enough to use them - not to mention that their establishment belonged to Guwei Village, not the Marginal Pacification Division. If it weren't for the new owner of the village, Fu Qing, who was obedient, Wang Shao would have no excuse to drive them awayβthe last way he thought of was to recruit them from the thousands of Han archers around him.
There are few people who do things, and even fewer people can do things, this is the status quo that Wang Shao is facing.
However, Wang Shao had a headache not only for the military and political affairs of the Marginal Pacification Division, but also for the management of Tuntian and Shiyi, which required a large number of people to command.
Wang Shao simply gave up the work of Tuntian to Gao Zunyu, giving his disciples a headache. And the candidate in charge of Shiyi has long been determined, but Yuan Qiang's ability is not as good as Han Gang after all. Although the field outside the walled city was established early, Wang Shao went to see it a few times and felt that it was chaotic and there was no proper order. Especially after he came back from the field, he visited a few of the chieftains of the Tibetan tribe who came to Guwei to recuperate, and after he went around the sanatorium, this feeling was even more obvious.
Just scolded a recruiting scribe who couldn't even memorize the ninety-nine formula, drank herbal tea, and moistened his already hoarse throat, Wang Shao remembered more and more the group of officials in the Qinzhou Prefecture Yazhong, although they were always corrupt and bribed, and oppressed the people, but after all, they were still able to do things.
It's time to find some visitors. Wang Shao thought. When he was still a writer, it was a waste of money to support customers. But now he is in charge of a pacification department, and if there are no doormen to help him with things, he will not be able to do it on his own. Moreover, he is in Guwei, and it is easier to install his family in the army to eat official salaries than in Qinzhou.
Wang Hou walked into the hall at this time. Wang Shao put down the teacup and asked, "Have you settled down over there of the Han family?" β
Wang Hou nodded, his own Lao Tzu's anger has risen in the past two days, which made him speak a lot softer, "It's all settled." The boy sent four veterans to listen to the call, and they were all honest and diligent and family-oriented. Han Zhang also asked the child to take the talk, and he wanted to thank his father for taking care of him. β
"Han Yukun said that his father was good at farming, and I have already mentioned this to Gao Gongqiu. Tomorrow......" Wang Shao thought for a while, "it's still the day after tomorrow." The day after tomorrow, he was invited to go to Gao Gongqiu to see the wasteland to be reclaimed. Where should the Han family's few hectares of land be carved out of, let him choose. β
"The child understands."
"As well as the Han family's food and clothing, you have to arrange it, don't wait for them to find someone by themselves." Wang Shao continued to advise.
Wang Hou continued to nod: "The child has been done in advance, and the grain, oil, meat and vegetables have been sent to people in the past." The Han family still had some belongings that were inconvenient to carry in Qinzhou and did not bring them, and the children had already arranged for spare. β
Although he had heard from Wang Sunchen about Guo Kui's importance to Han Gang, the father and son never mentioned it when they talked. The Han family has moved to Guwei, and the two families have also decided to be in-laws, Han Gang's position is generally impossible to change easily, and it is not that the newcomer Guo Kui can shake it.
Wang Hou admired Han Gang's courage very much. It is rare for an official to take up a wife and a concubine and children at most, and to move the whole family to office. At this time, officials are transferred very frequently, and on average, they only get another official in about two years, and it is actually very troublesome to take the whole family to run. Just like Wang Hou's stepmother and brothers, they were all left in De'an's hometown to serve his grandmother, who is Wang Shao's mother-in-law.
"It's well thought out." Seeing that his son was doing things properly, Wang Shao breathed a little relieved, "Tell the Han family, if you have any needs, you can mention it, and your own family doesn't need to be polite." β
"The child knows." After Wang Hou responded, he waited for a while, and saw that Wang Shao had no other words. Then he said, "The child has one more thing to report to the adult." Yukun's cousin Feng Congyi is also working very hard in Yuan Qian now, and in the past few days, I have heard that he has contacted the Qingtang Department, which is ......"
Wang Shao interrupted his son's words: "Han Yukun has already told his father about this. It's not about borrowing money, let him borrow if he wants to, don't exceed a thousand times. But the interest should not be less, and at least half a year's interest must be paid off before the end of the year. Everything comes according to the rules, and the father will not favor him. β
"The child will tell Feng Congyi."
Wang Hou replied happily, which made Wang Shao a little uneasy, "Feng Congyi is young and has little knowledge. In this world, people's hearts are sinister, and if you don't know it, you will be deceived. It is inconvenient for me to tell him, you go and talk to him, discuss everything more than Yuan Qian and Huang Cha, and don't trust others. β
Wang Hou hurriedly nodded and agreed. If Han Gang was not in Guwei and let Feng Congyi deceive people, they would not be able to see Han Gang, "But adults don't need to worry, the person Feng Congyi is looking for is guaranteed by Yu Longke and Blind Medicine, and they don't dare to deceive Yukun's cousin." β
The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft the water, and relying on the newly opened fields, the officials of Guwei naturally have a share of the business here. Wang Shao's share is in Yuan Qiang, Han Gang is looking for Feng Congyi, and Gao Zunyu also has his own agent, that is, Huang Cha as Wang Shao said. The three of them are not upright and old-fashioned, since they occupy this position, in addition to working hard for the court, they share part of the benefits from it, and no one will feel wrong. As long as you don't violate the law of the country and do business without knowing what you want, no one can use this to say things.
After talking about the Han family, Wang Hou went out without saying a word of gossip. Han Gang is not there, and the big and small affairs on his body are equivalent to doubling out of thin air, and he is as busy as Wang Shao.
Wang Shao continued to deal with his official business that seemed to be never finished, and after a while, Gao Zunyu came over. Wang Shao put down the pen in his hand and talked to him about business again.
Although Wang Shao said that the matter of Tuntian was entrusted to him with carte blanche, Gao Zunyu could not help but discuss with Wang Shao. And Wang Shao's important affairs at hand also had to be reported to Gao Zunyu, the pacification secretary. Otherwise, after a long time, there will be a rift between the two.
The two exchanged business with each other for a while. Gao Zunyu suddenly mentioned Fu Qing, the new owner of Guwei Village, "Fu Qing has been diligent and diligent since he became the governor of the village, and he has worked tirelessly, and I don't see him drinking again...... It's just that Liu Changzuo left another position - the inspection of the West Road - but he had to discuss a countermeasure. Fu Qing's official position is too low to be a good one, and he can't let this position be empty, otherwise he will always be remembered. β
"But there is really no one...... Although Wang Shao has been in Qinzhou for several years, he has been suppressed, and it is difficult to make friends with generals, and there is no one in the Qinzhou army who is credible and qualified to serve as a military general who patrols the Western Road.
Wang Shao originally listened to Han Gang's suggestion and wanted Fu Qing to concurrently serve as the inspector of the West Road Capital. But it was vetoed by the imperial court, and he would rather be vacant than let him temporarily replace him - compared to Liu Changzuo, who was qualified to go directly to the court, Fu Qing's official position is too low, even if he is temporarily substituted for his position, and he is not qualified to be given the title of 'power dispatch'. Wang Sunchen is barely qualified now,
But his qualifications are too shallow. Wang Shao sighed secretly. With his hairy boy, he can't suppress the arrogance of his soldiers.
"I have a choice." Gao Zunyu said suddenly, "I don't know what happened to Zi's pure intentions?" β
Wang Shao hesitated for a moment and asked, "...... Who is it? β
"Miao Zhi."
Wang Shao had heard of this name: "But the Miao Zhizhi of the Deshun Army [Miao Zhizi]?!" β
"Qingli Yuanhao rebelled, Miao Jing, the father of Miao Zhu, defended Linzhou City and died in the king's affairs, so he became an official because of the shadow. He is also a student of Hu Yizhi [Hu Yin], who studied in Guozijian and is a talent with both civil and military skills. β
Gao Zunyu said that Wang Shaodu knew that he said, "But Miao's official is already the deputy envoy of the supply and reserve warehouse, and he is the supervisor of soldiers and horses in the Deshun army, and I am afraid that the inspection of Qinzhou West Road will not be able to settle him." β
The deputy envoy of the supply library is the official of the department, from the seven products. is still above the ambassadors, and is one level higher than Liu Changzuo who guarded at the beginning. Xiang Bao's own official Imperial City Envoy also belongs to the Ministers, but it is the highest level, and the deputy envoy of the Reserve Treasury is the lowest level. Generally speaking, after arriving at the commanders, they can command the military affairs of a state or an army.
"Qinzhou is the lower government, and the Deshun army is only a army, the level is so different, and the capital supervisor of the Deshun army is only one line higher than the inspection of Qinzhou West Road. In addition, he is stationed in Guwei, so he doesn't have to worry about having no military merits, how can Miao Zhu be unwilling? β
Of course, Wang Shao knew everything Gao Zunyu said, and he knew better that with the current popularity of Tuobian Hehuang, even Liu Changzuo would not mind the high position and low allocation, give up the post of Qinfeng Road Soldier and Horse Supervisor, and come back to be a West Road Patrol. Not for anything else, just for military merit.
Wang Shao wanted a cronie to lead the army of the Yuanbian Pacification Division, but he really didn't have anyone on his hands. Wang Shao, an outstanding general, knows a lot, but at the moment he can't find one who can guarantee that he will bow down under him. If you find a counterpart who is not right with you, wouldn't it make Li Shizhong and them laugh off their big teeth.
Wang Shao had to sigh that compared to his background in the army, he, a Jiangxi Jinshi, was not as good as Gao Zunyu of the three generations of generals - Gao Zunyu would recommend Miao Zhu because his father Gao Jixuan was the commander who led the army to rescue Linzhou that year. Miao Jing's exploits were still reported by Gao Ji, and Miao Zhu was given a shadow supplement, and he also had to inherit a favor from the Gao family.
Wang Shao weighed it for a long time, and finally nodded after the most stubbornness. It is better to give this position to Gao Zunyu's person than to others, "I will send a message to Qinzhou and ask Taiwei Guo to transfer Miao Zhizhi to Guwei." β
