Chapter 11: Old Oil
The duty of the servant Cao is to run errands and handle some things that have been explained by county officials.
Gou Shen followed Zheng Li to send a message to a shop, it turned out that the county lord wanted to make clothes for his relatives, and asked the tailor here to measure the size at home.
After finishing the business, Gou Shen pulled Zheng Li to a wine shop, and the two found a secluded place to sit down.
When the wine and food came up, Gou Shen first toasted Zheng Li with two glasses, and he introduced a conversation, and Zheng Li opened the conversation.
"What does the little waiter Cao think of the security in Yingshui?"
Zheng Li took a sip of wine and asked Gou Shen, Gou Shen thought about it and said: "There is a county order to preside, there is a county magistrate to deal with, and there is an old servant Cao You are treated, I am a small person, and I don't understand anything else, so I feel that our Yingshui County is still good." β
Zheng Li smiled: "You are really a scholar, and your words make people feel comfortable." β
"We Yingshui, and even Yingchuan County, there are not many people who read, do you know what Lu Dao is for?"
How could Gou Shen pick up Zheng Li's words, even if he knew that he would not be able to say clearly, he shook his head, Zheng Li said: "Gaozu Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are competing for the world, the army is in chaos, our Yingchuan County is in this place where the two armies are facing each other, you call him and fight endlessly, Yingchuan County is not a good thing." β
"Imagine that everyone has fled for their lives, who is still studying here, isn't that waiting for death?"
Gou Shenshan picked up the pleasant words and said, Zheng Li talked about the rise of the interest, and said: "Later, when Emperor Wu came, our Yingchuan County slowly began to set up education, but there were many good things, and then Emperor Wu used the strength of the whole country to wage war against the Huns, and the school hall that had improved at the beginning had no source of students. β
"In this way, a few years before the current emperor, Huo Guang's thief had been in chaos for decades, and his fundamental mind was not to develop education, but to conspiracy, how could Yingchuan people be knowledgeable?"
Gou Shen knew very well that Zheng Li said that these emperors of the Western Han Dynasty, but Gaozu Liu Bang came down and there were Emperor Hui Liu Ying, abolished Emperor Liu Gong and Liu Hong, and down was Emperor Wen Liu Heng, Emperor Jing Liu Qi, and then Emperor Wu Liu Che.
As for Emperor Wu Liu Che and the current emperor Liu Xun, there are two short-lived emperors, one is Liu Fuling behind Emperor Wu Liu Che, this Liu Fuling has been the emperor for thirteen years, and he died at the age of twenty-one without heirs, and the other is Liu He, the king of Changyi, who was found by Huo Guang, the prime minister at the time.
And Liu He, the king of Changyi, only served as the emperor for 27 days, and was knocked down by Prime Minister Huo Guang with more than 1,200 charges, and then the current emperor Liu Xun came to power.
Gou Shen felt that Zheng Li did not say Liu Fuling and Liu He in order to avoid suspicion.
What can and can't be said, Zheng Li is very stable, it can be seen that this person is indeed an old oilman.
"Little waiter Cao, do you know what celebrities Yingchuan used to have?"
Zheng Li's words have an exquisite meaning, Gou Shen thought that he couldn't always hide his clumsiness, that kind of pretentiousness was too much, but it made people feel vain, and pondered for a while and said: "Lu Buwei of the Warring States is from Yingchuan, and the more recent ones like Zhang Liang and Chao Cuo are all from Yingchuan. β
Zheng Li smiled and said, "Brother Gou really knows the way. β
Gou Shen shook his head: "I have nothing to do, just read to relieve boredom, I think my Yingchuan County is now the largest county in the Central Plains, with great treasures, outstanding people, strong folk customs, everyone can live a good life without reading, who is like me, Wen is not a martial artist, it is an outlier." β
Talk less and listen more, even if it is something you understand, you have to pretend not to understand, this is the law of survival, Gou Shen is dedicated to being a listener, and keeps persuading Zheng Li to drink, Zheng Li asks something, just pretending to be confused.
"Do you know why County Lieutenant Xu called you that day?"
Finally got to the point, Gou Shen said that he didn't know, and asked: "That day, the old servant Cao said that the Yuan family in the county and the Chu family, I don't know what it has to do with the county lieutenant?" β
Zheng Li smiled lightly and took a sip of wine: "As I said earlier, the Han Dynasty has not been stable for a few years, and ordinary people, who can study well." In addition, when the founding of the Han Dynasty was too close to the Warring States Period, the descendants of the royal families of the original Six Kingdoms were all over the country, which was an unstable factor for the country. β
"Therefore, starting from Qin Yingzheng, to Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Qi of Jing, and Emperor Liu Che of Wu, there are relocation orders, and the families with too large family assets have to move to Chang'an, and those who are not qualified to move are left, but those who are not honest will be killed, just like the Guan family that was wiped out by the cool officials known as the goshawks, killing one to set an example for you, and now the rest of Yingchuan County are basically ordinary people, so reading is a luxury for Yingshui and even Yingchuan."
"Virtuous nephew, do you still say that you are an outlier? It's an outlier, and it's an enviable outlier. β
"As for the Yuan family and the Chu family, and the Xu County Lieutenant, hehe......"
Zheng Li looked around and said softly: "In a word, Kou County Cheng, I want to let Xu County Lieutenant get out." β
Gou Shen was stunned at first, and then his face was puzzled, and he also asked in a low voice: "The county lieutenant and the county Cheng Kou are at the same level, the two are in charge of different things, the well water does not interfere with the river water, why can the county lieutenant let the county lieutenant leave?" I really don't understand. β
Seeing Gou Shen's doubts, Zheng Li asked in a low voice: "What do you say about the promotion of an official?" β
Gou Shen didn't speak this time, Zheng Li saw that Guan Zi was selling well, took a sip of wine and continued: "Simple! One is the above response, and the other is the comments of the local squire, that is, the political achievements. β
Looking at Gou Shen looking at himself in confusion, Zheng Li explained: "Where is County Captain Xu from? β
"It seems to be from Changyi County, right?"
Changyi County is in present-day Jinxiang, Shandong, although he is sure in his heart, Gou Shen still answers very vaguely.
"And where is Kou Xiancheng from? - Hexi County. β
"What's wrong? What the old waiter Cao said, I don't understand, what does the distance of this house have to do with being an official? β
Zheng Li took a bite of food: "Zhilu said no, the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, you look at the county lieutenant and the county Cheng are at the same level, but there are many people, and the county lieutenant Xu is no matter how capable he is, if the squires of Yinghe do not cooperate with him and make a mess of public security, can he stay in Yingshui County for a long time?" β
"Those who sell lime can't see those who sell noodles, and their peers have always been enemies."
Gou Shen thought about it, and felt that Xu County Lieutenant was usually silent, and he didn't think he had much ability, but this Kou County Cheng seemed to be really mixed like a fish in water, so uncomfortable.
Gou Shen asked: "I still don't understand, Kou Xiancheng is not satisfied with Xu County, but Xu County's Lieutenant is not a county order, he just squeezed Xu County's Lieutenant away, does he Kou County's Cheng have to hold two positions?" Isn't this a level? It doesn't make sense. β
Zheng Li smiled lightly: "Brother Gou is on the road, did the old man tell you that day, the county lieutenant is looking for you?" β
Gou Shen immediately said in surprise: "Yes." β
Zheng Li smiled lightly: "Did the county lieutenant say anything to you?" β
