Wen Chou smiled: "Xiangjun's order, how dare you disobey?" He also said, "In addition to city defense, the county should also be more vigilant."

Li Jin thought so, and said: "With the respect of the captain, the vigilance in the county on the assassinated street has indeed been strengthened" He is Zhao Xiang, before Wen Chou came, the affairs of the Yuan family were all under his control, Wen Chou's assassination on the street showed that he had made a mistake in political affairs, and he was quite ashamed of Wen Chou, and said at the moment, "Captain, he is in charge of the military position, and the vigilance of this county will also be troubled by the captain, please urge the county lieutenant of the Yuan family to rectify."

Wen Chou smiled and said, "No"

Rectify the county soldiers, control the city defense, and interfere in the county security, all three of which are in hand, and the next step can be to recruit and expand

Looking at Wen Chou's plan, gradually advancing, first starting with "the only two strategies: epidemic prevention and food preparation", and then turning to "attack early", paving the way is enough, and then putting his true purpose under the name of "Xu Xu Tuzhi", "Xu Xu" said: If the rectification of the county soldiers to control the city defense and interfere in the county public security is reversed, the order is reversed, and the first thing he wants is "to rectify the county soldiers to control the city defense", etc., will inevitably make Liu Qing think that he is taking the opportunity to ask for power, but in this order, it is a matter of course

The car arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, because Wen Chou had already said what he should have said, but there was no need to enter the Mansion again, Li Jin entered the Mansion, and Huang Ming also took his own car back to the Mansion After Li Jin and Huang Ming left, Wen Chou also said goodbye to the Yuan family and rode back to the Governor's Mansion

I didn't go far, and I heard Dian Wei outside the car say, "Captain, that old man has turned back again."

Wen Chou's Captain's Mansion is in the west of the city, the Yuan family is in the north of the city, not on the way, after separating from Wen Chou, the Yuan Xiang was originally going to the north of the city, but at this time he turned back Wen Chou suddenly thought of the move of the Yuan Xiang to recommend his brother-in-law Lu Guang to him, and his heart moved, so that the car stopped for a while, lifted the curtain and looked out, and ordered: "Don't stop the Yuan Gong from taking the car"

Yuan's car drove forward. Passing through the two slave cars behind Wen Chou's car, when he arrived at Wen Chou's car, as Wen Chou expected, the car stopped Yuan Shixiang's face appeared from the window, and said with a smile: "I suddenly remembered something, I forgot to say it to the lieutenant just now."

"What?"

"Gong Cao. Simplified nuclear meritocracy; The main book, the main book of Kuang Li Wei Gong Cao is the important position of the government, and it should not be hung for a long time"

"'Gong Cao, Jian Nucleus Meritocracy; The main book, the main book of Lieutenant Gong Cao of Kuang Li Political Affairs is an important position of the government, and it is not appropriate to hang it for a long time'......, Wen Ruo Yuanhao, what do you mean by saying that the Yuan family is relative to me? In the lieutenant's mansion, Wen Chou asked Xun Yutian Yuanhao with a smile

Xun Yu followed Wen Chou to the palace today. It's just that when he finally couldn't go in and said this to Wen Chou, he was sitting in Wen Chou's car, and he also heard him laugh and said: "Yuan Xiang didn't say this to Jun for some reason, and it seems that he probably wants to get a position for his sons in the Lieutenant's Mansion."

"Yuan Hao, what do you say?"

Tian Yuanhao is a lieutenant in the palace, Wen Chou has just taken office, and there are many affairs in the lieutenant's mansion. There are many things that need to be handed over, and Wen Chou entrusts them to him. In addition, he was also responsible for investigating the situation of the rest of the Black Mountain and the thieves in the Western Black Valley, and he was very busy, so he did not follow Wen Chou to welcome the return of Zhao Yun and the others today

He pondered for a moment and said, "The Yuan clan is available!" ”

Wen Chou and Xun Yu glanced at each other, and Wen Chou said, "Oh? I would like to hear about it."

"There are three reasons"

"What is the first?"

"There are five counties in Changshan Country, and the Yuan family is the largest. Its population is the largest, the people are also the richest, Shiyi Luancheng Jiumen Zhending four counties also have their own big surnames and wealthy families, but if you talk about the country's strong sect, but you know that if the Yuan lieutenant wants to borrow the power of the place, he must rely on the Yuan family's right surname lieutenant's mansion. The two positions are the best, one is Gong Cao, and the other is the position of Gong Cao, the second is the position of the lieutenant of the main book, and the king has promised Liu Bei, so the position of the lieutenant master can only and must be held by the scholars of the Yuan clan Only in this way can the public be served"

Yuanshi is the ancient famous capital, one of the metropolises between the Zhanghe River, convenient water transportation, traffic reach, to ri peacetime, the merchants who come from the south to the north are endless, looking at more than 100,000 people in Changshan country on the road, one-third are in Yuanshi County both rich and solid, the people are numerous, and it is the county governance, then the local scholars are easy to develop, therefore, the scholars of the Yuan clan are strong and strong in the whole county, far better than Yu County

Wen Chouzhen said, "Not bad" and asked, "What about the second?" ”

"Secondly, the right surname of the Yuan family has five Yang Han two surnames just rely on the power of the county, the huge wealth, there are few people, not enough to mention the Wei family Yuan's Le, these three surnames Shishizhou County Court, the name of the county, known as the county scholars, if you want to rely on the right surname of the Yuan family, then the candidate for the lieutenant must be selected from the children of the three surnames"

"Among the three surnames, the Wei family is the most prosperous, why does Yuan Hao think that the Wei family is not as good as the Yuan family?"

Tian Yuanhao said that the Yuan family was available, but did not say that the Wei family was available, and it was obvious that his subtext was that the Wei family was not as good as the Yuan family

Tian Yuanhao said: "Indeed, the Wei clan is the most prosperous, it is the Yuan clan, which can be called the surname of Changshan County, but it is precisely because they are too prosperous, so they cannot be used."

In Yuanshi County, the Wei family is the most famous and the smoothest one

Patriarch Wei Song, the elder brother of Wei Song, the late Lu State Minister, the father of the late Shang Shu Servant shè Wei Song, the late Guangluxun, one of the Nine Qings

Wei Song's father and brother are no longer alive, and Wei Song is now living at home because of his old age

There are three sons of the Wei family: one is the son of Wei Song's brother, who was investigated by the country many years ago as filial piety, and is now the son of Wei Song, and is now the commander of Qianshi County, and the other is Wei Song's nephew, named Wei Chang, who is smart and clever, and is well-known in the county, and is only twenty-three years old this year, and is already the prime minister's Gongcao

Tian Yuanhao said: "Wei Song's father was Jiuqing, Wei Song himself was the minister of state of 2,000 stones, Wei Song's son is now the county commander of the big county, his subordinate is now the county guard, and even his nephew is the Gongcao of the Prime Minister's Mansion With the momentum of the Wei family, does the lieutenant think he can get his help?" ”

Wen Chou laughed, and he replied honestly: "I can't get it."

Xun's family is a famous family in the world, but this is Jizhou, not Yuzhou Wenchou and just a lieutenant, not the minister of state, in other words, he is only the second-in-command of Changshan country, not the number one, the rank is only two thousand stones, not to mention not as good as Wei Song's father, not as good as Wei Song, and even not as young as Wei Song's son Wen Chou, although he has some fame now, but only has "some" fame, with his current fame, he can get Wei Song's respect, but it is difficult to get his best help

"Therefore, it is not possible to use Wei's for use. Le is weaker again,......"

Speaking of this, Tian Yuanhao paused for a moment and interjected a gossip: "And I heard that the Le brothers are not in harmony with Le Biao as the chief bookkeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he also had a banquet for Jun a few days ago. The relatives of the chief officials are also close to the officials, and they are always on the side, if Le Biao slanders the prime minister because of this, and says bad things about the king, the gains outweigh the losses."

Le Biao's sibling is called Le Jun, and Wen Chou has heard of the disagreement between the two

The cause is from Huang Ming

Huang Ming is Duan Jue's son, although he has not done anything outrageously bad since he became an official in Changshan Kingdom, but after all, he is the nephew of the eunuch Lejun as his name. is a very "Jun" person, clean and self-conscious, and looks down on Huang Ming, a eunuch Le Biao is different from Le Jun, Le Biao is a very realistic person, he really wants his career to go further, so he deliberately befriended Huang Ming

There are two brothers, one looks down on Huang Ming, but the other is good friends with Huang Ming. Inevitably, there will be discord

Wen Chou nodded and turned to Xun Yu. said: "Le Zhongxiu is righteous and clean, he can be called a model Wen Ruo of the Yuan family, it is inconvenient for me to show up and have a relationship with him, you can go and have a relationship with him"

Wen Chou knew that Montenegro was about to rise, so he had to hurry up and prepare, and he didn't have the time to fight with the officials in the country. Therefore, his attitude towards Li Jin and Huang Ming, including Huang Zong He Fa and others, is the same: "I won't go to you for business, but don't come to me to shackle my elbows, it's best for everyone to be harmonious" His attitude was like this. Then it will be difficult for him to come forward and make friends with Le Jun by himself, which will be detrimental to his relationship with Huang Ming Le Biao

Xun Yu did not serve in the Lieutenant's Mansion, and at the same time he was Wen Chou's nephew, so it was very suitable for him to come forward to associate with Le Jun

The reason why Wen Chou asked Xun Yu to associate with Le Jun was not all because of Le Jun's character, but also because there were many scholars from Changshan Country gathered around Le Jun

Wei Yuan's Le three families each have one of the most famous, as if the Yuan clan and the leader of the younger generation of scholars in Changshan Country Wei is Wei Chang, smart and outstanding, well-informed, when he was a teenager, he had the name of a prodigy, so he was twenty-three years old to be able to be the prime minister's Gong Cao Yuan's clan is the eldest son of the Yuan clan Yuan's Rong, Yuan's Rong Ming Cha Neimin, strong and daring, Yuan's Xiang often said to people: "Rong is like me, and those who vibrate my family will be honored" Le Jun is Le Jun, Le Jun keeps the right and upright, never hides his thoughts, if someone in the family makes a mistake, He will be blunt, pointing out to his face that the county people compared him to Su Chun and Su Chun in the early years of this dynasty, the word Huan Gong, with a high name, xing strong and defamatory, and the scholars are afraid of it, so it is said that "when I see Su Huan Gong, I suffer from his teachings, and I don't see it, and I think about it"

Among the three, Wei Chang is famous for his intelligence and beauty, Yuan Shirong is known for his strong behavior, and Le Jun is famous for his cao and high cleanliness

The three of them have different personalities, and the friends they make with the three of them are different, and most of the friends around Le Jun are righteous people in the county, these people may not have outstanding abilities, but first, they are respected, and secondly, if you want to get a good reputation, you have to respect them

Because of this, Wen Chou asked Xun Yu to have a relationship with Le Jun

Xun Yu knew the meaning of the ugly and responded: "Yes"

Wen Chouxiao said to Tian Yuanhao: "The Le clan is weak, the Wei clan can't be used by me, so to speak, it is true that only the Yuan clan can be used."

"Yet"

"However, Yuan Hao, although the Yuan clan is not as noble as the Wei clan, his ancestors also have 2,000 stones, although the Yuan clan has taken the initiative to 'ask for an official' from me, can his family really be used by me?"

"Wen Jun, there are three surnames of the Yuan clan, Wei Chang is the Prime Minister's Gong Cao, and Le Biao is the main book of the Prime Minister's Mansion, why is the Yuan Clan not seeing Xiangjun using it?"

"The Yuan clan went to the official position with greed and turbidity, and his reputation was not good"

"Exactly! As Jun Fangcai said, the ancestors of the Yuan clan also had 2,000 stones, but in the generation of the Yuan family, they couldn't even get the position of a state and county, how could the Yuan family know the shame of the heart? I heard that the Yuan family often said to outsiders: 'Those who vibrate my family's voice, I will be my son Rongye', Yuan's Rong also takes this as his ambition and keeps motivating himself, which shows that they want to revive the family's urgent mentality' shame is almost brave', they know the shame and want to revitalize the family's voice again, then they must act bravely Yuanshi Rong is famous for his strength and courage, half of which is about because of his own xing, and the other half should also be related to his urgent mentality to revive his family's voice."

Wen Chou didn't think about it carefully, and when he heard Tian Yuanhao say this, he felt that it was reasonable, and said in his heart: "I am eager to revive the reputation of the family, act strongly, and dare to do things, and when Yuan Hao says this, this Yuan Shirong is really the most suitable person."

Xun Yu hesitated slightly. With a little worry, he said: "The Yuan clan went to the official with greed, and his younger brother fled back with cowardice, and the Xiangjun eliminated Wei Changle Biao as the master of Xiang Gong Cao, but he did not reuse his family's son Yuan Hao, if the lieutenant is the master of the Yuan clan as the lieutenant's main book?" Will? ”

"Wen Ruo is worried about whether it will damage Wen Jun's name?"

"yes"

Tian Yuanhao said: "Does Wen Ruo think that greed and escape is an unforgivable sin? ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Let's talk about fleeing first: we have moved from General Huangfu to several states and counties. Are there still few county magistrates in these states and counties who have escaped? Not only the county commander, but even the princes and kings who had the responsibility of guarding the feudal domain also escaped from the feudal country! Didn't King Chen, who sealed the country in Jizhou, just flee when he heard the news? Fleeing is not only a crime, but when I wait for General Huangfu to conquer Montenegro, the fleeing princes and kings can still be restored! ”

Speaking of the princes and kings who abandoned the country and fled, and then were restored, Tian Yuanhao was quite unfair

……

Han Law: The princes and kings have the responsibility of defending the territory, and those who do not claim to defend the domain will be punished

For example, Liu Zhong, the brother of Gaozu, was deposed as the Marquis of Heyang because he did not defend the land but abandoned the country and returned to the Han when the Xiongnu attacked on a large scale

The princes and kings of this dynasty were not punished after they abandoned their country and fled. On the contrary, it will be restored, which is inherent in the fact that the princes and kings of this dynasty do not have the right to military and political, but the princes and kings eat and use the land rent paid by the people in the feudal country, and eat the people's clothes and use the people's, when the country encounters wars, they abandon the country and flee, ignoring the people in a huge empire, so many princes and kings. There is only one person who leads the troops to protect the territory and the people, Chen Wang and Liu Pet, how rare! And when the soldiers of the loyal Han family fought bloodily to defeat the rebels. The princes and kings who fled were actually restored, and returned to the country they abandoned before to continue to eat, clothe, and use the people, what do the people think of them? What do you think of the Han family? How can this not anger and displeasure the upright?

King Chen, King Pi and other princes and kings who abandoned the country and fled are not bad, at least they were not taken prisoner, Liu Xu, the king of Anping, was even captured and captured by Montenegro, if he was defeated and captured, he could also leave a good name for his family and country. But not only was he not defeated and captured, but he refused to die after being captured, and he was ransomed back at the expense of the imperial court!

A dignified Han Miao descendant, the grandson of Emperor Guangwu, fell into the hands of rebels. And the court paid for the redemption, which is unbelievable, and after redeeming it, it was returned to him to restore the country, not only to restore the country to him, but also to cure the sins of the loyal and straightforward ministers Li Gu's son Anping Prime Minister Li Xie said that in the court, he thought that Liu Xu "was captured by demons and thieves in the national government, guarded the feudal domain, humiliated the holy dynasty, and was not suitable for restoring the country", but was punished for "slandering the clan".

How can this not make the loyal people of the world feel sick, and how can it not let the officials and people of the world deviate from morality?

As the princes and kings of the clan, they can't play an exemplary role in guarding the land and protecting the territory, and if the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, what can the imperial court expect the governors of the prefectures and counties to do?

"Let's talk about greed: in today's states near and far in the world, how many officials are not greedy? Nearly as Jizhou, when the former emperor, Jizhou famine, thieves rose, the imperial court to Runan Fan Mengbo as the Qing edict, the case was investigated, to the state border, the order to know that the pollution is hidden, the wind borrowed the seal ribbon to go far away as Jiaozhou, Jiaozhi soil has many treasures, Mingji cuiyu rhinoceros tortoiseshell exotic fragrant wood, everything, before and after the history of the thorn rate is more greedy, the upper inheritance of the powerful, the accumulation of private bribes, so that the people are resentful, and this year there is a rebellion! The magistrate is greedy,...... The Son of Heaven is also selling officials! ”

"The Son of Heaven sells officials" is said to be the West Garden sells officials, the three princes and nine kings are clearly marked, the public is 10 million, the secretary is 5 million, the three princes and nine secretaries can be sold, the title can also be sold, and the state, county and county positions can also be sold "only the name and the name, not the dummy", "the name and the instrument for the country are cautious", the official name is the national name, which is used by the state to manage the local management of the people, even this can be bought and sold, why not buy and sell?

"This year's rebellion again" is said to be born in June this year, just before they entered Jizhou from Huangfu Song, they heard that Jiaozhi had rebelled again in summer and June, and the rebellion was Jiaozhi Tunbing, who assassinated Shi and Hepu Taishou, and called himself "General Zhutian"

Tian Yuanhao continued: "The Yuan clan was just unlucky, and offended the Taishou in a state, but unfortunately there were people in the court, so he was impeached, so he was convicted of this."

"Now in the world, there are many states near and far, how many officials are not greedy?" "Yuan's Xiang is just unlucky, that's it"

Tian Yuanhao's two sentences are the truth

Nowadays, the states and counties under the state are almost not greedy

is Li Jin, the minister of Changshan Kingdom, although he doesn't use the children of the Yuan clan as important officials in the house, but he is not corrupt? He is also a corrupt and honest official, who is not only rare, but also will be pointed at and ridiculed in this environment

Just like the early years of the dynasty to help the wind of Kong Fen, he had in Hexi Guzang did the county order, when the world was disturbed, only Hexi Du'an, and Guzang called Fuyi, and Qianghu trade, to open four markets a day, each person who lives in the county, not a few months to cause abundance, but Kong Fen in office for four years, the property increased, and his wife every day is to eat some vegetable light rice, meat is rare, because of its efforts to clean, then laughed by everyone, said that he "in the ointment, can not be self-moistened, in vain benefit of hard work" Kong Fen for Gu Zang order is at the beginning of the establishment of the military, the world is undecided, In today's world, the world is in chaos, and the situation of local officials is almost the same

is ugly, and it is also "greedy".

Before he came out, his family was only a middle family, and his family property was only about 100,000 yuan, and he was very honest when he was the postal supervisor in the northern part of Shahe Tingchang County, and he did not receive any bribes, and sometimes he could not make ends meet because of too many customers, but since he hit Montenegro, he suddenly became rich, and in Yingyin, he bought land and raised hundreds of thousands of apprentices and took money to run private schools in the clan, where did his money come from? It was seized and seized, and it was also greedy, but why didn't anyone play him? The reason is simple, everyone in the military is doing this

Among the Han soldiers who conquered Montenegro, it can be said that from the general Sima down to the commander of the army, none of them did not hide and seize privately, and those who borrowed this wealth said that Sun Jian, the troops he brought were all "righteous servants" who were all teenagers in his county, and followed him to Yuzhou to fight, and the seized things could be handed over? Even Huang Fu Song can't avoid why Zhang Rang sent a guest to send a letter to Huang Fu Song, and asked for 5,000 money because Huang Fu Song's subordinates seized too much!

There is also Zhu Kai, his mother was originally a trader, and then lost his property because he stole to pay off the debts of the county people, and the loss of his family was not shoes, but a few years later, when his chief official, the local county guard broke the law, and the crime was abandoned when the city was abandoned, he was able to take hundreds of gold to Beijing to carry out hundreds of gold for the county guard, which is equivalent to millions of money, where did he get this money? It goes without saying that in the first year of Guanghe, he was worshiped as the history of Jiaozhi stabbing and fighting the thief, he returned to the county to recruit soldiers and transfer to him soldiers and horses, a total of 5,000 people, and took him to Jiaozhi These 5,000 people, the number of his family soldiers must be a lot, because a few years later, the imperial court took him as the Hanoi Taishou, he led the family soldiers to repel Zhang Yan's attack with the family soldiers to repel Zhang Yan's attack, it can be seen that his family soldiers are not only Jing Yong, but also a lot of money where did he get the money to raise so many family soldiers? The cost of raising soldiers is much higher than that of raising customers! It goes without saying

In the early years of this dynasty, Nanyang Zhang Kan was ordered to lose silk and horses, and the great Sima Wu Han and the Gongsun Shu, were posthumously worshiped as the Shu County Taishou on the road, Chengdu City was broken, he reviewed the treasury, collected its treasures, and reported it to the imperial court

Wen Chou thought about today's filthy affairs, sighed, and thought that he was also a member of the "greedy", and felt quite guilty

However, his "greed" is different from the greed of those who are corrupt

Those greedy officials covet the goods themselves, and Wen Chou is a human being, and they have long looked down on the goods and goods, and the things that are for people to use, just like the old saying: there are thousands of mansions, eight feet of sleep at night, there will be good land, and no matter how much you eat a liter of goods, if you just keep it for your own use and squander it for yourself, at most it will only satisfy the stomach and mouth of some widows, which is pure waste

Wen Chou's "greedy" property is for the "great ambition" in his heart

His earlier "great ambition" was to save his life, but now it is not, whether it is to save his life or his current ambition, he needs money

The people are not easy, life is difficult, he can't "greed" the goods from the people, he can only keep the seizures privately, anyway, even if these seizures are handed over to the court, they will only be divided by the court officials, even if they are distributed to the lower states and counties for relief to the people, they will also be handed over by the state and county officials from the middle, and finally fall on the people are just a little bit of the stars rather than so, it is better for him to use it (to be continued. )
