Chapter 44: Too Letterbox
For several days after Liu Miao succeeded as the Taishou of Jiujiang County, he did not make any moves, and stayed in the Taishou Mansion every day, occasionally going out to hang out in the city. The thoughts of the officials and heroes in the county in the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" gradually relaxed.
On this day, Gongcao Li Feng, the chief bookkeeper Lei Gong, the county commander Yang Hong, and the commander Lu Jun suddenly received an order from the new Taishou to summon them.
Gong Cao is the most powerful of the county guards, in addition to being in charge of personnel, he can also participate in all government affairs in the county; The main bookkeeper is in charge of the documents; The county is the adjutant of the Taishou, which is equivalent to the deputy Taishou, and can issue decrees on behalf of the Taishou and assist in handling government affairs, but the county officials generally do not have much real power, because the county officials are all outsiders, and they have to play a role, either relying on the Taishou or relying on the merits of being a local.
The position of the lieutenant is more special, inherited from the Qin Dynasty, originally the military governor of a county, holding the military power, but the Eastern Han Dynasty Guangwu Emperor canceled the post of the inner county captain, the military power and the hand of the Taishou, only in some special circumstances that need to use troops will be added, and it will be canceled after the fact. The lieutenant of Jiujiang County also came because of this, when there were traitors in Jiujiang County who rebelled, so Lu Jun was hired as the lieutenant of Jiujiang, and later the rebellion was quelled, Lu Jun's post should have been revoked, but it was ignored because of the frequent replacement of Taishou, Lu Jun has been in office until now, but he has almost no soldiers to bring, and he has no real name.
In fact, in Jiujiang County, the real power is almost all in the Gongcao Li Feng and Lei Gong, Li Feng and Lei Gong are both from the Shouchun clan and are the spokesmen of the powerful clan.
Liu Miao looked at the four people in front of him and said slowly: "This official has just arrived, and he is young and knowledgeable, and the affairs in the county are not very clear, and the county can be too peaceful and stable, all of which are the work of you, Miao has thanked you in advance." β
The four of them all gave gifts, and Li Feng replied: "The prince is too polite, and it is an honor for the officials and others to be able to assist the prince." It's just that I don't know what the king of the palace has to say when he sees the summons today? β
Liu Miao said: "It has been a few days since the official arrived, and he has been bothering you to handle the county affairs on my behalf, and I feel very guilty. However, this official knows that his talents are mediocre, and he is a first-time official, and he is not interested in government affairs, so the affairs of the county must continue to be entrusted to you.
However, if the official has been doing nothing like this, he will be very bored. This official has no other hobbies, except for reading. Recently, I thought of a fun thing, and I wanted to set up several 'book boxes' in the city, so as to collect books from the people, whether it was officials or ordinary people, they could put books into the boxes. You can write anything, even self-made gibberish, even if it's an anonymous letter scolding me. In this way, the official will have a lot of good-looking and interesting books to pass the time every day, and maybe he can also give the people a place to speak.
What do you think? By the way, you can also submit a book to it, and if you write something scolding me, remember to be anonymous. β
"This-" Several people looked at each other when they heard this, and they didn't understand what Liu Miao meant for a while, but they felt that Liu Miao didn't want to pass the time.
Liu Miao smiled and said, "Find a few people here today, that is, to talk about this matter, I hope you can support, the most important thing is to get the support of Lord Lu." β
Lu Jun originally just came to be a soy sauce party, but at this time, Liu Miao mentioned that he made him feel very surprised, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be the 'adult' of the palace, just call him by his name." No matter what the prince commands, as long as he can do it, he will do his best. β
Liu Miao waved his hand and said: "Lord Lu is older than this official, so this official will call Qing 'Brother Ji Cai'." If you want to ask Brother Ji Cai, it's not difficult, I want to set up a book box outside the palace gate and the four city gates. Please ask Brother Ji Cai to send a few people to take care of each place to prevent boring people from making trouble. What do you think? β
Lu Jun was a little embarrassed: "This is an easy task, but Jun does not have enough manpower in his hands, and the number of servants in the family is also limited, so I am afraid that I will have to live up to the important responsibility of the king." β
"Oh?" Liu Miao looked at Lu Jun in surprise, "Qing is the lieutenant of the county, and he can assign the county soldiers to go at will, why not shirk the lack of manpower?" β
"This-" Lu Jun smiled bitterly: "The commander of Jun should have been revoked a long time ago, but he has not received an order from the imperial court, so Jun has no choice but to continue to occupy his position, as for the county soldiers, they are not under the command of Jun." β
"And such a thing? This official doesn't know much about the official system, who is in charge of the county soldiers now? Liu Miao was surprised again.
"The government can ask Li Gongcao about this matter." Lu Jun replied.
Liu Miao set his sights on Li Feng again.
Li Feng said: "The county soldiers are divided into counties, and the soldiers of Shouchun are led by the soldiers Cao Peng Lei Bo. β
"Lei Bo? The surname is Lei, can it be related to the main book of Lei? Liu Miao asked.
"Lei Bo is a child." The chief bookkeeper, Lei Gong, replied.
"Oh, it turned out to be my own people, so it's better to say so, so let Lei Gongzi lend some of the county soldiers to Captain Lu." Liu Miao didn't wait for Lei Gong to refute, so he continued: "Well, this matter is settled, please ask Captain Lu and Master Lei." β
"Thisβ" The men were again speechless.
"Huh? Is there also a shortage of soldiers led by Prince Lei? β
Several people glanced at each other, and Li Feng replied, "Enough, it's justβ"
"Don't just do it, it's just such a trivial matter, could it be that the official wants to borrow a few small soldiers?" Liu Miao's voice cooled.
"That's not what I mean." Li Feng hurriedly said.
"Okay, I'm tired too, you can discuss it!" Liu Miao stood up and stretched, and said to himself: "I really hope to receive a good book that I haven't read as soon as possible, it must be much more interesting than those boring tax papers." β
Li Feng and Lei Gong secretly exchanged glances, and then both bowed and said goodbye. Yang Hong and Lu Jun also went out.
Liu Miao came to the back hall, where Liu Ji was waiting.
"Berwyn, do you think this will have the desired effect?"
"As long as the book box can be erected, even if there are some twists and turns, it will definitely have an effect." Liu Ji smiled and said, "Do they have any suspicions?" β
"There must be doubts, and we may not be able to guess our true intentions now, but not necessarily after going back and thinking about it. There is no shortage of wise people among the powerful people. β
"It doesn't matter, as long as they can't find a reason to object. For them, the attitude shown by the lord to show no concern for county affairs is far more important than a book box. As long as they hesitated for a moment, the book box was erected, and what they did was wrong, and then all the initiative was in the hands of the lord. β
Liu Miao smiled and said: "That's exactly the reason, with a clever hunter like Berwyn, no matter how cunning the beast is, it can't escape our net!" β
"I've already written the notice, my lord, please take a look at it first." Liu Ji took a silk book with the words "notice" written on it from the table and handed it to Liu Miao.
Liu Miao read it, nodded his head, and then called over a personal guard and instructed: "Yan Yi, send this notice to Lu Duwei, and ask him to copy four more copies and post them in the position I said." β
