"I have received an edict from Your Majesty, ordering me to temporarily take the post of county guard of Surabaya County, and supervise the grain, grass, baggage and other matters of the southern expedition army."
In the study room of the county ya's inner hall, Ren Huan said calmly.
I couldn't tell whether he was happy or nervous, and Xiao He naturally couldn't figure out Ren Huan's thoughts.
"Xiao He, I want you to go to Xiangxian with me, what do you think? If you wish, I will ask the court to give you a reward. β
After Ren Huan was silent for a moment, such a sentence suddenly appeared.
Xiao He was stunned and couldn't react for a while, so he looked at Ren Huan and didn't answer immediately.
"You also know that Surabaya County was ordered to be the governor of grain and grass this time, and from this to the south of Jiujiang, including Langya Xue County and Dangjun in the East China Sea, the matter of the seven counties came from me. It's a lot of work, and I'm a little too busy. You've been following me for over two years, and I've been watching you all the time. You are not panicked, and you are also very organized...... How about coming with me to Xiangxian? β
Ren's tone was quite sincere, with some expectation.
For Xiao He, as long as he agrees, he can immediately get the status recognized by the imperial court, instead of his current staff.
If you don't feel impressed, it's nonsense.
But after thinking about it for a moment, Xiao He took a step back, intervened and bowed, and said, "Xiao He thank you for your love, it's just ...... Xiao He was born and grew up in Si, and he was determined to do things for the villagers in Pei County, but he really couldn't give up this local feeling. β
Is it local affection?
Ren Huan's brows furrowed, but then relaxed.
"If you have such thoughts, then I will not force you. Anyway, if you want to stay in Pei County, just stay in Pei County...... However, if you change your mind one day, the door of my official office will be open for you at any time...... Xiao He, go down. β
"Xiao He retires!"
Ren Huan watched Xiao He go out and sighed softly.
He likes this guy from the bottom of his heart, he has the ability, and he can be flexible.
What about the countryside? Ren Huancai won't believe this bullshit explanation. In fact, I know very well in my heart, I'm afraid it's the plot of the homeland that is causing trouble in it. The Six Kingdoms have been extinct for many years, but in the hearts of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, they still miss and even hate the Qin State.
Of course, this is not without reason.
Qin's laws are strict, and it is difficult for the lazy remnants of the Six Kingdoms to adapt all at once.
In Pei County for more than two years, in the past three years, Ren Huan has recognized this problem. The degree to which the court implemented the law was too fast!
It's so fast that the remnants of the Six Nations don't even have time to adapt.
Many people are punished by the law because of their habits, and there are not many chickens and dogs, thieves, and fierce fighters, but more often than not, they are punished unintentionally. In my heart, there will naturally be feelings of resistance, and Ren Huan sees this very thoroughly.
"My lord, there is Liu Kan outside the door asking to see you!"
Ren woke up in a loud voice and said in a deep voice, "Let him come in." β
After a while, Liu Kan walked into the inner hall under the guidance of his family, took two steps forward, and respectfully bowed to Ren Huan.
Ren Huan smiled, raised his hand and said, "Liu Kan, sit!" β
"Hey!"
Liu Kan was also not polite, and knelt down on the mat on the side, "My lord sent someone to find me in a hurry, I don't know what is the matter?" β
Ren Huan was not in a hurry to answer, but said to the family at the door of the hall: "Tell me to go down and prepare wine and food." β
The family answered, trotted all the way and left. It is also a scenery in the homes of many Qin Dynasty officials. Because the First Emperor was a very efficient man, even the officials who brought him with him, and even brought this habit to his home.
"Liu Kan, I have been in Pei County for more than two years, and I am very happy to see you grow step by step."
Ren Huan spoke, signaling Liu Kan to be free. He picked up the bronze button pattern on the table in front of him and took a sip of wine.
"I'm leaving!"
"Huh?"
Liu Kan was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "My lord, where are you going?" β
"Lord Tu commanded the southern expedition this time, and the post of the county guard of Surabaya County became vacant...... The Governor of Surabaya County has a heavy responsibility for the heavy matter of the Southern Expedition. Therefore, His Majesty ordered me to temporarily act as the county guard of Surabaya County. In two days, I will set off for Xiangxian. β
This news surprised Liu Kan.
I have to say that because of the existence of Ren Huan, Liu Kan has gained a firm foothold in Pei County.
Although Ren Huan is just secretly maintaining, Liu Kan is not a fool, how can he not feel it? Ren Huan suddenly said to leave, which made Liu Kan's heart empty, and he seemed to have no support. Although it is said that Naxiang County is less than a day's journey away from Pei County.
Ren Huan smiled, "Liu Kan, how is the tribute wine brewed?" β
Liu Kan hurriedly put away his thoughts and replied: "Everything is going very well, this year's tribute wine has been brewed, a total of 800 urns."
Xiaomin is thinking, I will tell you in the past two days, so that I can send the tribute wine to Xianyang. β
Ren frowned, and suddenly laughed, "You are also quick to do things...... Hehe, I haven't seen you make too many moves, but you've done a good job? β
"Ah...... Your Majesty's affairs, how dare Xiaomin not care about it? β
Liu Kan was taken aback and hurriedly replied. He realized that there was a problem, that is, the faΓ§ade was not done enough, but he had to be careful.
Fortunately, Ren Huan did not dwell too much on this issue.
"It's okay, now that the brewing is done, I have a big event in my heart. Tomorrow I will send someone to receive the tribute, so you can prepare it...... Liu Kan, to be honest, I am very optimistic about you, and I have been silently observing for more than two years. β
"Ah, thank you for your love!"
"Then you know why I'm paying attention to you?"
Liu Kan was stunned and couldn't answer. Yes, why would Ren Huan be so good to him? I really don't know the reason for this.
"I'll show you something."
Ren Huan said, picking up a scroll of wooden tablets from the desk.
Liu Kan hurriedly got up and walked over, took the wooden tablet from Ren Huan's hand, unfolded it and glanced at it, but it was a volume of Peixian household registration.
"Look down."
Ren Huan took a sip of wine, moistened his throat, and said with a smile.
Liu Kan hurriedly continued to unfold the wooden tablet, looking at it, his heart was a little turbulent.
There is such a record on the wooden tablet: Liu Kan, Wang was born in the fourth year of his single father, his father Liu Fu, and his mother Kan Ji...... A descendant of Du Lingbo, a branch of Qin Liu, and a native of Dongxiang in Pinyang...... Zu Liu Wei was a horseman.
Liu Kan looked at it and was stunned.
Pinyang Dongxiang? Qin Liu?
Me, when did I become an old Qin person?
When he first came to this era, Liu Kan just wanted to use the hands of the Qin State to occupy a commanding height, and when the troubled times came, he could have the capital to protect himself. But now, his wishful thinking seemed to be disrupted all at once. With the imprint of the old Qin people on his body, if he acts in the future, he is afraid that there will be a lot of trouble. This, this, how should this be?
"I've been tracking down your origins for the past two years." Ren Huan said: "In the end, I found out that you were indeed born in the descendants of Qin Liu. Hehe, as for the twists and turns inside, you will understand later. Your Majesty has promised to forgive the sins of your ancestors.
From now on, you are a real old Qin person.
That's one of the reasons why I value you. Liu Kan, you are smart, you know the severity, you are brave, you are a good piece of material. I hope you can continue to do things for Your Majesty. One day, I can establish meritorious service for my Great Qin. β
What did Ren Huan say specifically?
Liu Kan didn't listen to a word. After eating at the official office, he went home a little depressed.
This sudden news made him a little overwhelmed. Although the memory of this period of history is very vague, Liu Kan knows that most of the rebels who will oppose Qin in the future are descendants of the Six Kingdoms. Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, hated the Qin State even more. I thought I could fish in troubled waters, but now I am burdened with the identity of an old Qin person, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to be accepted by the rebels from all walks of life.
Or, Bao Qin?
This thought flashed in Liu Kan's mind.
Bao Qin, it's not easy to talk about, it's almost against the people of the whole world.
And with his current situation, how can he protect Qin? The First Emperor will be more rigid and self-serving in the future, who can dissuade him?
The southern expedition to Baiyue is just a beginning.
In the future, attacking the Huns, building the Great Wall, building the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, and building the Afang Palace, one thing after another, finally made the people complain.
Could it be that the people around the First Emperor can't see through it?
Moreover, as soon as the first emperor died, it was Zhao Gao, who referred to the deer as a horse, who was in power. Ying Huhai is just a puppet, will it be difficult for him to hold Zhao Gao's stinky feet when the time comes? Liu Kan can't do this kind of thing, and he doesn't want to do it. So, where do we go from here?
If you want to survive after the troubled times, there is only one way!
Powerful enough! Only with strong enough strength can you protect yourself in troubled times and avoid being spied on.
Climb up, be sure to climb up!
Liu Kan is now just a small citizen, and there are only a few people around him. Not to mention building a force, even the red flag at home was retained because of the Wushan Sword. If you want to meet the requirements of self-preservation, you must build up your deeds and climb up.
Thinking of this, Liu Kan suddenly stopped.
I made a secret decision in my heart, turned around and ran towards the official office again.
Ren Huan was walking in the courtyard, and when he saw Liu Kan coming back, he was a little strange, "Liu Kan, why are you back again?" β
"My lord, Xiaomin thought of an important matter, and I have come to report it to my lordship. This incident is related to the lives of the soldiers of the Southern Expedition. β
Ren Huan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Liu Kan's arm.
"What's that, come on?"
