Chapter III Township Appointments
"Liu Jun is patrolling the township! It's been a day or two, and I'm on my way back. Wang Chong said patiently.
After sending someone to find Liu Zhong, Wen Chou no longer said anything about the county's line. Instead, he asked about the situation in his township, and the more so, the more anxious Wang Chong became, pacing around Wen Chou non-stop, reporting various matters in the township with Wen Chou. After all, if Wen Chou is promoted, then he has a rank in the upper position, so he didn't run, how can he not be in a hurry?
However, they didn't talk for long, because after hearing that Wen Chou had returned from the county Zhiyuan clan, Liu Zhong and Yiying township officials had already hurried to the official temple.
Wen Chou saw that there were more and more people in the hall, and after the township officials basically arrived, he glanced at everyone and said: "It is indeed important to call all the gentlemen to come here when the wheat is busy. β
"What's the matter? Wen Jun said it! Jiang Hui said loudly. The last time Wen Chou returned to his hometown, it happened that he was working outside, and the accident did not meet Wen Chou, which was a pity, and this time he saw Wen Chou, and he was very positive and excited.
"Without him, congratulations to all of you!" Wen Chou laughed.
"Congratulations?" Liu Zhong said.
"Chongzhiju Xiangzuo, several years, conscientious, peaceful for the people, and in recent months, scheduling large and small affairs in the township, no confusion, there are also great talents, you can agree?" Wen Chou did not answer Liu Zhong's question, but said.
"I very much agree with Wang Zuo's talent and merit." A villager said.
"Yes, be rewarded!"
"What does Wen Jun mean?"
For a while, Wang Chong's words were appreciated, so that Wang Chong continued to return the salute, humble words, and did his best to speak the merits of the gentlemen and the auxiliary words of the gentlemen.
"The county is going to promote the king?" This is Jiang Hui asked, with envy in his words.
"Haha, as Jiang Jun said, this time I met Feng Gong, and the contemptible people have already sought an appointment, and they will be promoted to Chong Zhi for their hometown! Congratulations. Wen Chou laughed loudly.
"Ah, is it really promoted to rank?" Although Wang Chong said that he had been mentally prepared, he also couldn't believe it. After all, he has been an official for several years, and he has been an unsightly fighting official below, and now he has been promoted to rank, so he can be officially included in the list of county officials. ββAmong the officials in the township, only the rank of the Qiang Fu is a hundred stone officials, and the others are just small officials who are not named, and their status is naturally different!
"Is this still fake? This is the appointing instrument! Seeing Wang Chong's excited appearance, Wen Chou smiled and took out a stack of papers, picked out Wang Chong's share, and handed it to him.
"Thank you Wenjun for your support!" Seeing this, Wang Chong shouted excitedly, and then took the document with both hands and examined it carefully.
"It doesn't have to be like this, please get up!" Wen Chou got up and helped him up and said.
From the moment Wen Chou told the news, everyone in the hall looked at Wang Chong with envy. Seeing the documents handed out by Wen Chou, he knew that the matter had been decided, and after Wen Chou's words, they all opened their mouths to congratulate Wang Chong. After Wang Chong saw it, he was naturally busy returning the gift.
Of course, everyone in the hall also saw that Wen Chou took out more than one document, and believed Wen Chou's words of 'congratulations' at the beginning, and looked at Wen Chou with hot eyes, looking forward to the next document being to appoint himself.
Only Liu Zhong frowned and thought about it, and then said: "In this way, I will first congratulate Wenjun on his ascension!"
"That's right, Wang Jun was promoted to the rank of Xiangyou, replacing Wenjun's original position, so what is Wenjun's position now?" Someone reacted and exclaimed.
"yes, but it must have moved to the left!" Someone affirmed.
In this way, the hall is congratulating Wen Chou on his promotion again, and even Wang Chong, who has just been promoted, is also holding down his excitement and opening his mouth to congratulate.
"Yes, the contemptible people are fortunate to have the favor of Minister Feng Gong, and the trust of Lieutenant Tian Jun, to add the position of Gaoyi County Commander." Wen Chou said.
As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused everyone's exclamations. It is said that there should not be such a big reaction, but Wen Chou has been in office for a year, and he is less than a weak crown, and he can be in charge of a county, which really refreshes their horizons. Originally, in their imagination, Wen Chou was promoted to a county official of 400 or 600 stones at most, which was enough to be favored.
Moreover, the position of Taolin Lieutenant where Wen Chou originally lived was not a lieutenant with a rank ratio of 2,000 stone in the traditional sense, similar to that of Du Lieutenant and Zhonglangjiang, but a kind of intermediate military position that was infinitely weakened after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the rank was at most 400 stones. And in the near future, the status of the lieutenant will continue to decline, until it is reduced to a low-ranking military position. And historically, this is indeed the case.
"Wen Jun was promoted to Gaoyi County Commander, not Gaoyi County Magistrate?" Liu Zhong is still careful, and he has been in Gaoyi County for a while, so he naturally knows that Gaoyi County is a small county because there are less than 10,000 households, and his county magistrate is only a county magistrate with a rank of 600 stones.
"Yes, after meeting with Feng Gong this time and telling him that the original more than 10,000 captives could be converted into Qi people, he agreed to move them to Gaoyi County and re-establish a township. In this way, if some displaced people are gathered to live in peace, Gaoyi County can become a large county with 10,000 households. Wen Chou explained. Of course, there is also the grace of Feng Gong.
"Oh, isn't Wen Jun a member of a thousand stones!" At this time, Jiang Hui and the others reacted from the admiration, and they were even more amazed and delighted by the county order of Wen Chou Thousand Stones
Seeing the excited people in the hall, Wen Chou waved his hand and said: "This time, I can't help but contempt people to add the order of Gaoyi County, and Zizheng has also been appointed as the county lieutenant of Gaoyi!" As he spoke, he handed a document to Liu Zhong!
This time it really made everyone in the hall exclaim, although everyone knew that Liu Zhong was loyal to Wen Chou, but after all, he was just a wanderer who did not enter the stream, I didn't expect Wen Chou to be able to show him as a high position of county lieutenant! Even Liu Zhong himself was taken aback, and Mu Ran was stunned for a moment.
"Why, Zizheng doesn't want to go with me?" Wen Chou laughed.
"Zhong, thank you Wenjun!" Liu Zhong immediately bowed and thanked him. With trembling hands, he took the appointment paperwork.
"Okay, Zizheng is invited, and from now on, you will also be a chief!" Wen Chou helped Liu Zhong up and laughed loudly.
Officials refer to the auxiliary official positions of state and county governors. "Hanshu Hundred Officials and Ministers": "(County) has Cheng and Wei, with a rank of 400 to 200 stones, which are for the chief. Below the hundred stones, there is the rank of fighting food and Zuoshi, which is for the young officials. That's why Wen Chouyan said that Liu Zhong was a long official.
"Rely on the promotion of Wenjun! You can't repay your life! Liu Zhong said again.
Everyone was envious and congratulated Liu Zhong again.
"In addition, I want to recruit Jiang Jun as my Cao official, I don't know what Jiang Jun wants?" Wen Chou asked.
"Oh, I can be a Cao for Wenjun, and I am fortunate to be restored, how can I not obey?" Jiang Hui said in surprise. Although he is not a high-ranking official, he can be regarded as an official who has been registered as an official, and he must have made great progress with Wen Chou, and the current Liu Zhong is a living example, how could he refuse!
"Okay, in this way, the school management of Gaoyi County will be handed over to Jun Lai to be responsible!" Wen Chou said happily. Then he looked at the other personnel, saw a green cloth robe, and was in high spirits, and said, "Zhang Jun, do you intend to go to Gaoyi with me?" β
When the man heard this, he immediately stepped forward to attend, and replied, "I don't dare to ask for my ears!" "It is another disciple of the third elder of the township, Zhang Chi is also! He was in charge of the prison sentence and heard the lawsuit in Shahe Township, which can be said to be another powerful figure in the days when Wen Chou was not in Shahe Township.
"Haha, with the help of all the gentlemen, we will definitely be able to restore the prosperity of Gaoyi County!" Wen Chou said arrogantly.
Later, Wen Chou recruited some poor scholars, thinking that Jiang Hui and Zhang Chi were their subordinates and their own private officials, and the people who were chosen were naturally unreasonable, and the original arrogance disappeared after seeing Wen Chou, Liu Zhong and other real promotions. It's not that they have no backbone, it's that their horizons are still too small.
Liu Zhong, Wang Chong, Zhang Chi, Jiang Hui and other people were either promoted or accompanied, so the vacated positions were naturally occupied by virtuous people. After their recommendation and discussion, it was also determined.
As a result, everyone attending the meeting basically got different degrees of promotion. It can be said that it can be regarded as a model of 'one person who has attained the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven'.
After the meeting, they went home to report the good news and publicity, of course, it was inevitable to pack up and prepare.
After most people left, only Wen Chou and Wang Chong were left in the hall. Wen Chou needs to do some handover with Wang Chong, but it is more about some explanations and arrangements for some things, and Wang Chong feels Wen Chou's kindness, so naturally he will not go too far against Wen Chou's wishes, although now they are not subordinate to each other.
Wen Chou was also unwilling, as soon as he left on his front foot, Shahe Township came to a big change, so this is also the reason why he recommended Wang Chong to be ranked, after all, the two of them have cooperated for a long time, and Wang Chong has more understanding of his thoughts, so as to ensure that Shahe Township will continue to operate according to Wen Chou's wishes!
After everything was handed over, Wen Chou did not rush home to share the joy of his promotion to a thousand stone officials, but hurried to Taolinsai. Because there are still several military changes waiting for him to announce. Not far from each other, Wen Chou arrived with a horse.
The first thing that came to my ears was the sound of the training of the Taolin soldiers, Wen Chou rode his horse slowly, looking at the mighty Taolin in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Thinking that day, when he finished worrying and ran to Taolinsai every day in order to recover his body as soon as possible, the scene was a sad scene of dilapidation and barren grass, and no one would have thought that only a year later, Taolinsai would have such a situation. This is all the hard work of Wen Chou! And now he wants to give it to others, although he knows that the person in charge will definitely not be his enemy, but there is still a little reluctance!
Wen Chou felt that the peach forest was plugged, but he did not enter the plug immediately, but looked at the military stopper, muttering constantly, making the guards on the plug wonder. However, the responsibilities of informing Sima, the generals, and welcoming Wen Chou have not been forgotten, but they have been done very well.
