Chapter 39: The Eunuch's Summons
Xu Liang sent Ge Qiao to the new county seat, and then went home. This time, I spent a whole day on the road, and when I returned to the county government on the second day, I heard the people below say that there were not many people in the county government last night for the reception banquet of the new county prince and the canonical history. Wang Zhixian went to the wine table and touched a glass of wine with Lu Xiancheng, and then withdrew from the banquet in advance under the pretext that there was something.
After listening to this, Xu Liang understood Wang Zhixian's attitude, humming a little unknown song all the way, wearing a new Zhengjipin official robe, and walked towards the office of the county chief bookkeeper step by step.
After entering the courtyard of the lobby through the instrument door, a voice sounded.
"Lord Bookkeeper is in such a high mood today!"
Xu Liang looked up and saw that Jiang Zhunan, the long-faced Jianchang Dianshi, was standing on the edge of the corridor, smiling rather than smiling, looking at himself inexplicably.
"It turned out to be Lord Jiang." Xu Liang brushed the printed quail on his chest with a new tuft of official robes, and said seriously, "Lord Jiang came quite early." See you later! ”
"Master Xu stays!" Jiang Dianshi saw that Xu Liang wanted to leave without saying a word, and shouted again.
Xu Liang didn't stop, he smiled, and said as he walked: "Lord Jiang has any official business, please go to this official house to talk." ”
Jiang Dianshi snorted, flicked his sleeves, and left angrily.
Xu Liang went to the main bookkeeper and called a servant, "Go, gather all the trappers of the fast shift to the front yard, and the official will give a lecture." ”
The fast workers quickly gathered in the small square in front of the lobby and stood neatly in two rows. Xu Liang took two officials and slowly walked to stand in front of the crowd, glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "This official is the new county chief bookkeeper, and he is in charge of the security of a county. If you are vain, the official will not say it, here, I will make a request to you, you put on this skin, you must keep the peace of a county, this official does not care what you did before, from now on, as long as you do things seriously, dedicated to the public, this official will protect your future in life, on the contrary, if the official finds out that you are doing misbehaving, eat and take cards at will, the official will definitely be severely punished. Do you understand everything? ”
"Understood." The crowd quickly knew that Xu Liang Xinguan had three fires in office, and at this time, no one was stupid enough to touch the mold.
"Hmm," Xu Liang nodded and shouted, "The head of the squad is out of the ranks!" ”
No one spoke up, and no one came forward.
"Huh? What's going on? Xu Liang asked.
"Lord Yu," a thick-eyed catcher in the back row said with a wince, "Xu Bantou died in battle when he was rounding up the descendants of the head of the water kou, and a new team leader has not yet been appointed. ”
Xu Liang looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but be happy, the young catcher with dodging eyes was one of the two catchers who left him and fled when he besieged Sun Yihu, the second leader of the Shui Kou.
Xu Liang pointed at him, "You, out of the ranks." ”
The young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes hesitated for a while, and finally walked out of the queue like resignation and stood in front of Xu Liang.
"What's your name?"
"Back to the adult, the small, the small one is called Hu Xiaoyong." The young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes said quickly.
"Hu Xiaoyong?" Xu Liang muttered to himself, "Sure enough, there is only Xiao Yong." He pointed at Hu Xiaoyong, and said in a loud voice: "From today on, Hu Xiaoyong will temporarily take the position of the head of the fast class, do you have any objections?" ”
The crowd looked at Hu Xiaoyong enviously, and no one said anything.
"Okay, that's it." Xu Liang made the final decision and disbanded the others, leaving Hu Xiaoyong alone.
Hu Xiaoyong immediately became uneasy, the sweat on his head quickly came down, and his knees weakened at the moment, knelt down in front of Xu Liang, and sobbed: "My lord, I know that it was wrong for us to run away at the beginning, but now it is in the hands of you, my lord, and I have no complaints if I want to beat and punish the small one." It's just that the small ones are willing to beg the adults to leave the small ones with a cheap life, and the small ones are old and young, and there is a large family to take care of. ”
Xu Liang stared at him for a long time, chuckled, helped Hu Xiaoyong up, and said slowly: "The past official will not be investigated, but this is the only time, and the next one will not be an example!" ”
"Yes, yes, small guarantee, there will be absolutely no next time." Hu Xiaoyong saw that Xu Liang would no longer pursue him for the crime of escaping without permission, and his heart was relieved.
"Okay, you get up, follow this official to work hard in the future, and this official will not treat you badly."
When the new team leader Hu Xiaoyong gratefully withdrew from the main book, Xu Liang's thoughts returned to the newly arrived Lu Xiancheng. Obviously, this Lu Chengyuan and Jiang Zhunan, who came together, must have a close relationship. Maybe this Lu Chengyuan can be transferred to Jianchang County Cheng with some ulterior purpose, just like when he suddenly parachuted into Jianchang County, he may have a secret order from a big man behind him. If this is the case, then my life will definitely not be easy in the future.
Alas, in the end, I'm still facing the ** layer and no one is covering. It seems that it is time to pay a visit to the Huang Senate Mansion.
Huang Weizhong still has small eyes, a round fat belly, and he is wearing a loose homely robe, and his eyes are full of joy when he sees Xu Liang.
"Uncle, little nephew, I see that you are full of joy today, but what is the joy?" Xu Liang saw Huang Weizhong smiling at the corner of his mouth, and hurriedly followed the atmosphere full of nonsense.
"Oh, haha," Huang Weizhong was very happy to hear this, and pointed at Xu Liang and scolded with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, after you were promoted to the head of Jianchang, it is the first time to return to the old man's house." ”
Xu Liang immediately looked frightened, and said with a smile: "Let my uncle worry, it's the little nephew, isn't the little nephew afraid of disturbing your uncle's work?" ”
"You little thing, talk nonsense," Huang Weizhong scolded with a smile: "If you don't want to come, you don't want to come, and you still find so many excuses." ”
Xu Liang saw that Huang Weizhong was not really angry, and his heart was wide at the moment, and he grinned and handed over the box of carefully packaged Liang Ji soap cream, and said: "That little nephew will come to your uncle's house to disturb him when he is free in the future, don't bother me when the time comes." He opened the packaging oil paper on the outside of the soap paste and said flatteringly: "Uncle, this is Jianchang Liang Ji soap cream, wash your hands and wash your hair and feet and laundry, and the effect is very good, and my nephew specially brought some for my uncle to try." ”
"Well, it's rare that you have this heart." Huang Weizhong actually hoped that Xu Liang would send small objects such as silver and soap cream, which people really couldn't look down on, so he waved his hand to the housekeeper of the Huang Mansion who was accompanying him and motioned for the old housekeeper to put it away.
Huang Weizhong glanced at Xu Liang and asked quietly: "Virtuous nephew, a lot of things have happened in your Jianchang County recently, and your kid has also been promoted. ”
Xu Liang chuckled in his heart, and secretly said that he would start to teach me. But for a while, I couldn't guess which part of Huang Weizhong's experience was. After pondering for a while, he said cautiously: "After experiencing such a bunch of things, my little nephew also feels that in our Ming Dynasty, it is not easy to be an official in peace and stability." If you want to be at the level of your uncle, it will be very difficult. ”
Huang Weizhong frowned slightly when he heard this, nodded and said slowly: "It's good that you can have this understanding." In fact, in our Ming Dynasty, if you want officials to be stable and rise quickly, it is absolutely impossible to rely on personal skills alone. He glanced at Xu Liang, saw that Xu Liang was listening carefully, his mind was whole, and then he said, "You have to hold a group." How do you huddle? Classmates, fellow villagers, teachers and students, fathers and sons, can all be together. But these are still small groups, they can only work on a small scale, and if you want to get more space, you have to hold a large group. ”
"Uncle is right." Xu Liang showed a grateful look on his face, "It's just that my nephew is stupid by nature, and he doesn't know about these huddles, so I asked my uncle to teach me." ”
The child can be taught! Huang Weizhong secretly praised, looked at Xu Liang with satisfaction, and said: "To put it simply, in our Ming Dynasty, if you want to be an official, you must join the party. What Zhejiang Party, Micro Party, Jin Party, Donglin Party, these are all parties. After Huang Weizhong finished speaking, he looked at Xu Liang with burning eyes and asked, "Xu Liang, which party do you want to join?" ”
Xu Liang's heart sank, which party? I don't know about this. What Jin Party, Zhejiang Party, Donglin Party, have only seen on TV in their previous lives, what is the specific difference, Xu Liangke is blind. Xu Liang's mind spun around quickly, and he smiled at Huang Weizhong at the moment: "My nephew follows your uncle, what party you are, what kind of party your nephew is." ”
Huang Weizhong was stunned after hearing this, nodded at Xu Liang, and laughed. After laughing, he said:
"You little slippery head, your mouth is really good."
Huang Weizhong's face turned pale, and he said solemnly: "Since you said so, nephew, then you will be regarded as your own person in the future." Listen, let's neither the Zhejiang Party, nor the Jin Party, nor the Donglin Party. The old man followed closely with Lord Zhou Yingqiu of the Ministry of Officials, and Lord Zhou Yingqiu followed closely behind the father-in-law of Wei in the current dynasty, so that the old man was regarded as the father-in-law of Wei. ”
Xu Liang immediately said: "That little nephew follows your uncle closely, speaking of which, the little nephew is the person of Father-in-law Wei, and it is also your uncle's person." ”
When Huang Weizhong heard this, he felt very happy in his heart, and encouraged Xu Liang cordially: "Virtuous nephew, you can work hard in Jianchang for a few years, and when the old man helps you find a way to change to a better place, you can rest assured, in Jiangxi, as long as you report the name of the old man, no one dares to touch you." ”
"Huh?" Xu Liang exclaimed: "Uncle, you are really good to your nephew. ”
At this time, the old housekeeper of the Huang Mansion put away the soap paste brought by Xu Liang, re-entered the living room, and said proudly when he heard the words: "Lord Xu, you may not know that my master is about to be promoted to Zuo to participate in politics." ”
"Mouthy!" Huang Weizhong reprimanded, saying that it was a reprimand, and anyone could see the smugness in his eyes.
Xu Liang heard this, and hurriedly congratulated him for a while.
Huang Weizhong listened comfortably, and revealed with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, you can just let it go, even if the old man can't cover it, there is still the governor." Hehe, Lord Yang Bangxian is a classmate of Master Zhou. ”
Xu Liang was shocked again.
