Chapter 23: The First Step of Ambition (Part II)
Zhao Yan is missing, missing on the official road, but who cares about a county order that has been sealed?
Sheguo County is empty, the question is who can succeed him? At present, it can be managed by the Wei County Taishou, but after all, a county order is still needed. Although the Han Dynasty is now weak, the orthodoxy has not changed, so the appointment of this county order is not directly appointed by the Taishou of Wei County or the assassin of Jizhou, so it must not be reported to the Han Court.
At the same time, in the middle of the West Market of Luoyang.
Since the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Han court, especially the Han Emperor's internal funds, have been greatly consumed, and for the miser-like Han Emperor Liu Hong, it is simply painful. But if you want to earn it back quickly, it is naturally impossible.
At this time, Zhang asked Zhao Zhong to admonish, saying that the Han Dynasty had so many empty officials, why didn't he take them out and sell them for a good price? I don't know what Emperor Han had in mind to approve this advice.
was originally a half-concealed official mantle, but now he can openly sell it in the West Market! That's not all, all officials want to be promoted, and they even have to pay a certain fee, which is equivalent to buying that official position. It seems like a bad thing, but it really happened.
"Wenxi County Lieutenant, three hundred!" On a platform in the West Market, a yellow door openly bid for the price.
Interestingly, the official position he asked for was Liu Bei's county lieutenant of Wenxi County, and it was obvious that he was no longer in office. In fact, when he was in office, he was suppressed and ridiculed by the county order, and finally he was angry and hung up the seal, but now he went to Gongsun Zan again.
It is also said that everyone fights the Yellow Turban Army, and the worst of others is also a Zhonglang general. Either it is also a county order. He also defeated the two commanders of the Youzhou Yellow Turban Army. It can be regarded as a high degree of hard work, and even a brother died for it. What about the aftermath? mixed up with a county lieutenant, and was often ridiculed by the county order for his impure bloodline as King Jing of Zhongshan and an impostor.
didn't kill him, that was because he could still restrain himself, but afterwards he was tied up and beaten, and it was true that he was left with a seal. In fact, historically, that whipping was posted. In the end, it was not this guy who hung up the seal and left!
"In this world, a county lieutenant has three hundred runs...... Du Xun came to the West Market, looking at the Yellow Gate that was selling well, and the gentry who kept buying official positions, and couldn't help but sigh.
Originally, with his talent, as long as the township was filial piety and honesty, and then began to become an official, it basically started from the county. As long as you work hard, it is not a problem to become a county magistrate. But the biggest problem these days is that even if you have talent. If you want to be a county magistrate, you must first take out a sum of money and buy the official position of the county magistrate. to be able to take office......
What is this, that is, the complete linkage of official positions and promotions with money, and the complete disregard for the talents of these scholars. can open up the stability of the country so much, and the Han Emperor Liu Hong can be regarded as a wonder.
"Ladies and gentlemen, listen up, good news! Jizhou Wei County is a county under its name, and the county order is just vacant, and it only takes 600 yuan, and you can take office immediately, and you want to buy it as soon as possible! After a while, Huang Men got new information and immediately shouted.
Du Zhen has been here for a few days, and he is waiting for this official position, but he is not in a hurry, let's see if there are any other competitors first. But I don't want to, when everyone hears that it is Jizhou, they lose interest. Who doesn't know that Jizhou has been severely affected by the disaster, and the people everywhere are struggling to make a living. Everyone knows that this county order position has been sold for less than a month, but I didn't expect it to become vacant again so soon.
It can be seen that there is obviously no oil and water, and even a lot of trouble, so the county order has to give up this official position that he bought at a great price. You must know that this official position was as high as a thousand times before.
Since it's so big. Trouble, naturally no one wants to accept it. And he is also gloating and looking left and right to see which stupid X is willing to take over this official position.
"I want it!" Du Xun stepped forward and motioned for the servants below to pay.
"Wow!" , the surrounding audience exclaimed, only to say that there is really such a stupid X. But looking at Du Xi's age, he understands that he is young and enthusiastic, so it's up to him to mess around!
"Congratulations to this one, become my Great Han Immortal Venerable!" Huangmen was also polite, counted the money, and handed over the official seal.
"The county lieutenant and the county magistrate of Sheguo County, if there is any, I want it!" Du Xi thought about it and said again.
"This ...... I'll ask ...... first," Huangmen also felt that this was a big deal, so he immediately asked someone to ask.
"There are already people in the county lieutenant, but the position of the county captain is still there, and it only takes four hundred yuan!" Huangmen ran back after a while, and then said with a smile.
"It's coming!" Du Xi was not polite, asked the servants to pay, and took down the official position of the county prince.
In this way, the three largest positions in Sheguo County, the county governor, and the county commander, completely fell into the hands of Fang Yun. It's just that Dahan doesn't know at all that the three official positions he just appointed are actually agents pushed out by the Yellow Turban Army.
Even if there is any suspicion, there is no evidence, the Gaindu family is also a wealthy family in Dingling, how can Du Xian, who was born with this component, be the Yellow Turban Army!
Du Xun didn't waste any time, got the official seal, and left Luoyang in a hurry. After staying here for a few days, seeing the bustling crowd inside, and seeing the starvation being cleaned up outside the door, I only felt that my three views were impacted again. Maybe it's because I've been messing with the mud legs for too long.,I don't know why I have a little disgust for this kind of thing that I used to take for granted.。
Six days later, the group came to Sheguo County and officially began to take office.
His Chinese Ji also became a county lieutenant here under the operation of the Wen family, but he ignored his previous disappearance. Anyway, the focus of the family is to cultivate Wen Chou, who is a son-in-law.
As for the county commander, it is served by a clansman of the Du family, who also has a lot of work experience under Fang Yun, and it may not be possible to be a county commander, but it is no problem at all to become a county commander to assist the county commander.
In this way, it can also be seen that Fang Yun intends to completely delegate power to Du Xian and let him try to govern this county well. But Wen Ji is here, the gun is in Fang Yun's hands, and no one knows better than him the importance of the gun in this era!
That is, Wen Ji's loyalty has reached 100, otherwise he is afraid that he will appoint Xie Ran to this position. It's just that the latter lacks family operations, and it's not easy to officially become a county lieutenant.
As for the original county lieutenant, as well as the old Zhao steward, he was halfway to collect grain, and was directly ambushed by the Yellow Turban Army. Now I don't know if it's buried in that corner, and there's not even a tombstone. But it didn't take long for them to have a group of partners, that is, Zhao Yan's family, which was really a family, and they were all reunited here.
Since then, Fang Yun has successfully obtained the actual power of Sheguo County, and at this moment, his eyes are no longer there, he has moved to Huguan, which is an important pass to connect Jizhou and Merge State, and if he seals it, he will seal the shortcut to support Jizhou!
But before that, there was one thing that made him laugh and cry.
A little child, a six-year-old child, sneaked into the base with more than fifty family members in the dark and said that he wanted to rescue his sister Lu Shi, but he didn't want to be almost killed, and was finally tied up in front of Fang Yun. His name is Lu Meng! (To be continued......)
PS: At this point, the area around Shiguo and Wu'an is already Fang Yun's sphere of influence. Of course, Wu'an can only be regarded as an allied force.
Then again, at that time, Chen Tao was arranged to occupy the Lu family, who would have thought that it was to recruit Lu Meng? This little kid has grown up very much, first it was not bad to lead the army to fight, and then he was directly civil and military, so he didn't leave it to Sun Wu!
Second, thank you for the tips from the book friends of 'Send Buns' and 'Evergreen No Regrets'!
