September 13 of the 6th year of Guanghe (183 AD).

Feng Yu, who had not returned to the house for several days, was in a hurry early in the morning, and before the hour, he took a group of small yellow doors to the West Garden where Lei Heng lived. Lei Heng looked at this formation, although he was quite surprised, but he still gritted his teeth and greeted it.

Feng Yu didn't care, left him and walked to the center of the main room by himself, raised his voice and shouted: "Lei Heng, kneel down and listen to the order-"

Lei Heng hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The grass people take the order." ”

"Bajun Lei Heng, his generalist, loyal and sincere, magnanimous and stoic, advance and retreat to a certain extent. Today, Lei Heng is the captain of the Southern Barbarians, more than 2,000 stones, mainly protecting the affairs of ethnic minorities in Yizhou, commanding the local armed army, and establishing a government to set up a bureaucracy. Hexicheng County, Xi County, Shangyong County, and Fangling County are Changning County, and Xicheng County is governed, and Lei Heng is Changning Tai Shou. The rebellion of Ban Yu was quelled within a time limit. ”

What, I became the captain of the Nanban Guard, and I still govern the four counties? Lei Heng stayed in place stupidly, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

"When did you hook up with the prince and argue, and even your uncle hid it?!" Feng Zhen's sharp voice startled Lei Heng back from his imagination.

"The prince?" Lei Heng was stunned again.

Feng Yu was a little dissatisfied, and said, "What's the matter, you still don't want to say it at this time?" I'm afraid that my uncle will ruin your future! ”

Lei Heng hurriedly cleared up the relationship and said, "How dare my nephew deceive, but I really don't have an impression of the prince!" ”

"Tsk - after the performance that day, you also secretly sent the prince twenty monkeys, forgot?"

Monkey? Lei Heng remembered.

That day, Xiao Huangmen led himself out of the palace, and there seemed to be a brocade boy who came to ask for a monkey halfway, and he was distracted all the way, as if he gave him twenty on the spot.

The brocade boy is the prince? But he is only a seven or eight-year-old child now, is it worth making such a fuss?

Feng Zhen saw Lei Heng's expression, as if he knew what he was thinking, and explained quietly: "For your business, my uncle didn't spend much money......

"Nephew is grateful!"

"What are you talking about!" Feng Yu raised his hand to interrupt Lei Heng's words, motioned for him to sit down, and continued: "A lot of money was spent, but little was achieved. He Ye, not only because you are young, your talent is not obvious, and your prestige is insufficient, but also because several major forces in the court do not give in to each other, it is difficult to have a suitable official for a while-how can my nephew be able to do those unpopular positions!

On that day, Your Majesty mentioned the matter of Taishou in Hanzhong, and you must also know that although Shan Yang belonged to the bureaucratic faction, he was deeply appreciated by His Majesty because of his loneliness and hardship, and his leader was clear. He first raised filial piety, moved to Taishi Ling, served in the middle, and then became the Taishou in Hanzhong. You premeditated to take the position of Hanzhong, and if you didn't try to transfer away from Shan Yang, you ended up fishing for the moon in the water. Its simplicity is in the emperor's heart, but it is not the power of you and me to control.

Recently, I have to report that the prince argued and His Majesty 'is good at tomorrow's officials and arithmetic, and I would like to ask him to teach him'. His Majesty did not say anything for a moment, but the next day he summoned his ministers to discuss the matter, and I hurriedly asked the Duke (Zhang Rang) and others to act separately. ”

Feng Yu picked up a bowl of tea, raised his head and drank it all, and then continued: "The affairs of Hanzhong are disputed endlessly. Huyizhou urgently sent a military report that Ban Yu had rebelled, and the local government was unable to quell the rebellion, so he asked the imperial court to send troops to conquest. Langzhong Yi, Ban Bang Ba County, its people mostly live around the water, and they are brave by nature. At the beginning, the Han forwards were trapped, and after the Later Han Dynasty, the county kept the rate to conquer. In the third year of Guanghe (180 A.D.), Bajun Banyu rebelled, plundered Sanshu, and Hanzhong counties, disturbed the peace of Deyizhou, and the imperial court failed to conquer for many years.

Now it is rebelling again, and the internal and external public opinion is that the local suppression is not effective, and the words of innovation are noisy. His Majesty was furious, and divided Hanzhong County into two, and the 5 counties west of the Ziwu River (1 Nanzheng County, 2 Chenggu County, 3 Zhenzhong County, 4 Chuyang County, and 5 Anyang County) were still called Hanzhong County, and Nanzheng County was governed; The four eastern counties (1 Xicheng County, 2 Xi County, 3 Shangyong County, 4 Fangling County) are Changning County, and the territory of the Nanban Captain is governed in Xicheng County.

Ba County originally governed 14 counties, Jiangzhou County, Danqu County, Quren County, Langzhong County, Yufu County, Linjiang County, Tong County, Fuling County, Dianjiang County, Anhan County, Pingdu County, Chongguo County, Xuanhan County, Hanchang County, and now the counties are redivided into three, collectively referred to as 'Sanba':

To the north of Dianjiang is Brazil County, which has jurisdiction over 8 counties of Langzhong, Anhan, Dianjiang, Danqu, Xuanhan, Hanchang, Nanchong and Xichong, and governs Langzhong County.

Jiangzhou to Linjiang is Ba County, which has jurisdiction over 5 counties of Jiangzhou, Fuling, Linjiang, Pingdu and Tongxian, and governs Jiangzhou County.

Qu Ren to Yufu is Badong County, with jurisdiction over 6 counties of Yufu, Quren, Hanfeng, Yangqu, Wu and Beijing, and Zhiyufu County. ”

Lei Heng knew that the captain of the Southern Barbarian Dynasty was placed in the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Jin Dynasty, also known as the captain of the Southern Barbarians, who was in charge of protecting the affairs of ethnic minorities in Jingzhou, commanding the local armed soldiers, establishing a government and placing bureaucrats, and governing Xiangyang. At the beginning of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was relocated and relocated to Jiangling. The Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty are all four products. Unexpectedly, because he appeared in advance, there were still a lot of changes.

In the first year of the Eastern Han Dynasty (190), Anhan ordered Zhao Ying to propose to divide Ba County into three counties: Ba County above the Dianjiang River, which was a security Han; The following Jiangzhou is Yongning County; The following is Guning County. In the first year of Xingping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (194), Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang divided Ba County into three: Ba County to the north of Dianjiang, Yongning County from Jiangzhou to Linjiang (now Zhongxian County, Chongqing), and Quren (now Yunyang County, Chongqing) to Yufu (now Fengjie County, Chongqing). In the sixth year of Jian'an (201), Yongning County was renamed Ba County, and the county governed Jiangzhou County. In the sixth year of Jian'an (201), Yufu ordered Jian Yun to fight for the name of Ba, Liu Zhang changed Yongning County to Ba County, Guling County to Badong County, and Ba County to Brazil County, which is the source of "Sanba".

"I don't know who Hanzhong, Brazil, and Padang Taishou are?" Lei Heng didn't ask Bajun alone, because he felt that Emperor Han Ling would definitely not refute Zhang Rang's feelings, and Li Sheng should stay in office.

"Hanzhong Taishou is recommended by Yin Hejin in Henan, and Su Gu, a person who helps the wind."

"Brazil Taishou is recommended by Zongzheng Liu Yan, Henan Pang Xi."

"Badong Taishou is recommended by Yuan Feng, a servant of the Tai, and Yuan Hui from Runan."

"Bajun Taishou was recommended by Zhang Rang, a native of Hanoi."

Hey! Ba County turned out not to be Li Sheng to stay in office! Interesting, really interesting.

He Jin is the representative of the foreign relatives faction, Liu Yan is the speaker of the clan, Yuan Feng is the leader of the bureaucratic family, and Zhang Rang is the leader of the "Ten Standing Servants". This Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty is really "evenly wet with rain and dew", and he is well versed in the way of balance.

"Your Majesty has ordered all counties to put down rebellions within one year. As for you—" Feng Yu paused, and then added, "Don't forget what you promised!" ”

Sure enough, Emperor Han Ling's appointment of himself largely had the intention of seeking immortals to visit the Tao. However, Lei Heng didn't care at all, anyway, after five years, he would have braids, and he would drag it slowly. At present, the most important thing is the Ban Yu rebellion in the territory, and it must be pacified before it can be regarded as its own territory.

"Uncle, dare to ask how many soldiers and how much grain and baggage the court will give to your nephew?"

"No soldiers, no generals, no money and no food, just this edict!" Feng Zhen spread his hands, and glanced at Lei Heng who was quite single. "As for the others, the same is true of the imperial court."

"This court is too picky!" Lei Heng couldn't help but say the complaint in his heart.

Feng Yu couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's been like this since ancient times!" If you still have to send troops to give food, what use does the court want you! However, each family has its own power, and it is more or less substituted from it. ”

Lei Heng was surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Please uncle teach me-"

"Su Gu and others can make Yuan Feng, He Jin, Liu Yan and others recommend, presumably with a rich family background or wealth, there is naturally no need to worry about money and food, and Yuan Feng and others are in real power, and there are many people gathered under their hands, and they must also send some capable people to assist." Speaking of this, Feng Yu paused, sighed, and continued: "Compared with Hanzhong, the 4 counties of Changning are inferior to the 'three buses', and there are no talented people in my uncle's hands, so I can't help you much......

Hearing this, Lei Heng's heart darkened, and he couldn't help but feel a little more frustrated, but he hurriedly got up to comfort Feng Yu, and said: "Uncle can run so far for his nephew's affairs, it is already deep and righteous, and my nephew can only be very grateful in his heart!" The nephew also has a wise strategist under him, a fierce general who is not worthy of ten thousand people, even if he does not have funding, he will not lose to them! ”

"Well said! is worthy of being the son and nephew of my family. Feng Yu was so surprised that he helped Lei Heng, and suddenly asked mysteriously: "Although my uncle is just an eunuch and does not have the power of a prominent official, he also has something inferior to them...... Do you know what it is? ”

"Emperor?"

"Yes, I have been in the palace to serve Your Majesty for fifteen years, and the beauty of this is comparable to others. Look closely at the edict given to you, is there anything different about it? ”

Lei Heng obediently picked up the edict and pondered it word by word.

“…… Today, Lei Heng is the captain of the Southern Barbarians, more than 2,000 stones, mainly protecting the affairs of ethnic minorities in Yizhou, commanding the local armed army, and establishing a government to set up bureaucrats and ......? ”

"That's right, it's the 'Legislature Assistant'!" Feng Yu explained proudly, "There are no these five words in the edict of Su Gu and others!" Heng'er, my uncle has been in this palace for more than ten years, and he knows that the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. All of your men will regard you as Lord and will value you for their good. Whether it is power, or wealth, or beauty, or fame......

Although the power of the Taishou is great, the appointment and dismissal of the county order and the county magistrate are recommended by him, and the officials of the county government are appointed and dismissed by the Taishou himself from among the people of the county.

However, there are many restrictions in it, and it is not as cheap as 'establishing a government and placing a bureaucracy'! With these five words, you will become the recognized head of one side of the imperial court, and you can establish a government office and choose your own subordinates. Your subordinates also have a serious official body, can they not die for you? ”

Lei Heng's eyes lit up, isn't that so? There are already scribes such as Xi Zhong, Zheng Tai, and Zheng Hun, as well as military generals such as Dian Wei, Sui Sheng, and Lin Sheng.

The position of Taishou is indeed not as real as that of the government and the bureaucracy.

In the shogunate, there were generally official positions such as "Long History", "Sima", "Joining the Army", and "Master Book".

Long history, the civil prefect who is in charge of the government, that is, the "main official", is more than a thousand stones.

Sima, the military commander in charge of the military, that is, the "main general", is more than a thousand stones.

Joined the army, was the military staff officer of the military government, six hundred stones.

The main book, which is a secretary and attendant who directly serves the lord of the house, is six hundred stones.

In addition, there are also sacrificial wine, east and west Cao rafters, sheren, records and other adjutants, from 100 stone to 600 stone, a total of 100 subordinates, 100 guards.

"Uncle Grain, Grass and Ordnance doesn't have it, but I can give you another 10 million dollars!" Feng Yu took out a copper token from his bosom and handed it to Lei Heng.

Lei Heng didn't stretch out his hand to take it, he looked around cautiously, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he asked in a low voice: "Uncle, but you are dealing with that Taiping Dao——"
