81_81573In the afterglow of the setting sun, Xiao Chen stood on the high platform of the Tai Academy, looking at the three thousand students below. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThese are the future of Beichen Kingdom, and they are the elites drawn from various private colleges in China. This is the university in the true sense of the word, and it is the cornerstone of the future of Beichenguo. The students of the first phase of the 3,000 Tai Academy, they have only learned knowledge here for less than three months. However, now I need them to settle down for themselves, so it's time for their first protégés to go.

"Students! I'm sure most of you know who I am! That's right, this king is the king of Beichen Kingdom, and he is also your dean. Since the opening of the Tai Academy, this king has only come once, but this does not mean that this king does not pay attention to you. You are students of this king, and this king is watching you all the time. You are good, when this king knows about the competition between the cadets of the Tai Academy and the cadets of the military academy, this king knows that my students are all elites and the future of the country! ”

"In the face of real military cadets, you are not unjustly defeated. But none of you said anything that would not admit defeat, and the king felt very lucky. With you here, this king believes that the Beichen Kingdom will eventually become strong. At your age, failure is inevitable. Many people, after failure, will not admit their mistakes, but blame others. In the face of that kind of person, this king looks down on him at all, and he can't admit defeat, that is to say, he doesn't admit himself. A person who does not admit himself will never have anything to offer. You're doing a great job, very good, very good! ”

"Just now, this king just finished handling government affairs, and then rejected the queen, and hurried to the Tai Academy! Do you know why? ”

"To tell you the truth, the kingdom is facing a very serious problem right now. I believe that everyone knows very well about the recent Great Purge Movement. In a fit of rage, the king cleaned up hundreds of thousands of moths in the kingdom, thinking that if these corrupt officials were cleaned up, our country would be able to recuperate and the people would be able to be healthy. However, this king did not expect that his own step would add a big trouble to the kingdom. Because of this clean-up, too many local corrupt officials have been killed, resulting in no one in the local government affairs to manage government affairs, and many cities have fallen into development difficulties. ”

"Now this king has come to deal with this problem. In the morning, the king and the prime minister discussed for a long time, and finally decided to let you take office. Prime Minister Xun Cheng said at the beginning that you have just studied for two or three months, and you have no experience in handling government affairs, saying that you are not qualified at all. But! This king still made this decision! Because this king believes that you 3,000 students are the most faithful students of this king, and you will always be the best! No difficulties in front of you can stop you! ”

"Let you handle the place for you this time, maybe someone will not handle it well, or maybe someone will handle it very well. This king doesn't mind, if you deal with it, your official career is brilliant, and this king also has a glorious face. If you don't handle it well, you are all students of this king, and this king is desperate for the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty who are unwilling, and he has to find a good path for you. For you to take office this time, this king has only one request, that is, you cannot take the number one of the protégés of the Son of Heaven and do something that harms the interests of the country and the people. Jinyiwei and the Military Intelligence Bureau will strictly monitor you, if someone does such a thing, don't blame this king for ignoring the feelings of teachers and students! ”

"Little Dezi, announce the holy decree!"

"No!" Xiao Dezi quickly took the holy decree from the little eunuch next to him.

"Tai Academy student Fengyuan!"

"The students are here!"

"My king's edict said: I will be specially awarded the title of Fengyuan County Cheng, acting as the county commander of Tongwu County, and will take office on the same day!"

"Students obey!" Feng Yuan quickly came to Xiao Dezi's side and respectfully accepted the bright yellow holy decree. Afterwards, he saluted Xiao Chen and said: "The student has thanked the king for his cultivation, and the student will live up to the king's kindness!" ”

"Good! This king knows that you are the most serious one in the Tai Academy, and this king also hopes that after you take office, you can seriously handle government affairs. Don't have any arrogant behavior, learning and really handling government affairs are different, and we must govern the local government according to the actual situation! Do you understand? Xiao Chen looked at his students affectionately and said.

"No! Thank you for your teachings, and the students should remember the King's words! Feng Yuan bowed and slowly retreated.

Later, Xiao Dezi received another holy decree from the little eunuch.

"Tai Academy student Wu Yuan!"

"The students are here!" A tall and handsome man quickly walked out of the array and came to Xiao Dezi's side.

"My king's edict said: Specially grant the title of Wuyuan County Cheng, act as the county commander of Ancheng County, and take office on the same day!"

"Students obey!"

Wu Yuan took the holy decree and came to Xiao Chen's side, and before he could speak, he heard Xiao Chen say, "Hmph, boy, give this king a good place." Otherwise, if you don't do it well, even if this king doesn't blame you after you come back, your sister won't let you spend the rest of your life in peace! “

Wu Yuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "No! Wang, look at it, if the student does not govern the place well, without waiting for the princess to speak, the student will cut himself in front of the county yamen! ”

Xiao Chen rolled his eyes and glared at Wu Yuan fiercely. Holy shit, if you die, your old sister won't scold me every day! Xiao Chen felt a chill when he thought of Wu Min's little devil appearance.

Subsequently, all the 3,000 students received the holy decree, and the top ten were all acting county orders and awarded the county title. The eleventh to the hundredth, all of them are awarded important positions in the county. The latter are all in the land of a city, or serving as the mayor of the town, or holding various positions in the town. In short, all 3,000 people were arranged.

Looking at a few empty large wooden boxes, Xiao Chen wiped the cold sweat on his head, the boxes that could hold three thousand holy decrees were now all empty.

"Students, I'm sure you've all been given a position. These positions are big and small, but this king does not want everyone to have envy. Because, there is nothing to envy about this. After you take office, there will be a one-month trial period. If you do a good job within the month, you will naturally get promoted. If you don't do well, then I'm sorry, you have to give way to those who are talented. “

"Many people say that the students of Tai Academy are all showy, and this king feels very ridiculous when he hears it. This king never thought of his students as people who learned but did not show up. On the contrary, those who stay in the folk and think that they are talented are self-righteous, and that is the real stupid! However, even if this is the case, you have to take a good look at this king, and the faces of our Tai Academy and the protégés of the Son of Heaven all depend on your students in the first phase. If you do a good job, the prestige of our Tai Academy will be even higher, and the protégés of Tianzi will also become praised by the people. On the contrary, if you do not do a good job, not only will you be disgraced, but this king will also be reviled by all people! ”

"Students, here, the king wants you to govern the place well for our people. Come on, serve wine~! ”

"No!"

The large bowls were immediately filled with wine and handed to each of the students. Xiao Chen took a large bowl of wine in his hand, glanced at the three thousand students below, and shouted: "All for the glory of the kingdom!" Drink! ”

"All for the glory of the kingdom!"

All the people in the venue picked up the big bowl and poured the wine into their mouths, and the spicy wine flowed into the throat, causing a burst of heat, which was the feeling of blood boiling!

All for the glory of the Kingdom!

The next day, three thousand students who had been studying in Tai Academy for three months, after taking one last look at the fields they had cultivated, carried their luggage and walked into the distance.

Many people went home to see their parents and told them the happy news. Within a few days, the students quickly arrived at the place where they took office and began their first steps into officialdom.

Feng Yuan thought that he was a child of a poor family, and he used to be famous for his resourcefulness and seriousness in the academy of the local county town. After the completion of this Tai Academy, Feng Yuan came to this place and began his career as a protégé of the Son of Heaven.

Today, Feng Yuan rode his war horse in Tai Academy. On top of the horses lay their own armor, riding swords, swords, crossbows and arrows, and their own luggage.

Tongwu County soon appeared in Fengyuan's eyes, the twelve-meter-high city wall, three or four thousand meters, this refers to what he is looking for. The walls on both sides, which can no longer be seen, and the city walls facing west, add up to dozens of miles.

The speed of the war horse was under Fengyuan's whip, and it quickly ran. After a while, they came to the city gate.

There are three gates in Tongwu County, and the central gate is the largest, with a width of six or seven meters. It was usually the gate where the army or officials entered and exited, and the small gates on either side provided access for the people. At the gate of the city in the center, there were already many officials standing, both civil and military, which made Feng Yuan frown slightly.

"Greetings to the county commander!" An old man with a white beard walked forward quickly, bowed to Feng Yuan, and said.

The rest of the officials also hurriedly greeted him, and said in unison: "The lower officials greet the county commander!" ”

All the civil officials had already come to the front, and only the dozen or so generals were still standing in the distance, not moving at all. Feng Yuan was stunned in his heart, it seemed that he was still in trouble.

The military attache did not step forward, and Fengyuan would not step forward in person with a thin face. He is a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and the general is so faceless, he is really brainless. Soon, Fengyuan, who had a mild personality, mingled with a group of officials, standing in front of the city gate and gossiping with the old county man, and asked about the situation in Tongwu County.

"General, are we really not going to meet you? The new county magistrate is a protégé of the Son of Heaven, aren't we doing this to give the king face? "A small general, came to the co-ordinator of the Tongwu garrison association and said.

Song Zhong was not surprised at all and said, "What? What are you afraid of, he is a county commander, but he can't control the head of our army. Our martial arts have already given him enough face to greet him at the gate of the city, so it is difficult to let the old man personally come forward to greet a hairy boy. The old man is not the bad old man of Lu Wen, he doesn't want to lose face, the old man still needs face! “

Hearing his own general's words, the young general was speechless for a moment, and he felt extremely worried in his heart. Although the new county order can't control us, it can't bear that people are protégés of the Son of Heaven. It is really unwise for more than a dozen generals on his side to do this. It seems that he should stay away from the general as soon as possible, and he won't even give the face of the protégé of the Son of Heaven, so who in the army will treat him in the future.

After chatting with Lu Wen for most of the day, Fengyuan finally had a general understanding of Tongwu County. Tongwu County is in the kingdom and can be regarded as an upper-middle county. There are eight cities and more than 190 villages, with a total population of more than 1.2 million. And there are more than 400,000 people in the county alone, which is about to catch up with the population of the county. Because of its large population, Tongwu County has ranked among the top 10 counties in terms of various taxes.

It is precisely because of the more he understands that Fengyuan also feels that his burden is very heavy.

The next day, after getting up early and exercising, Fengyuan began to deal with the government affairs of the county. In the afternoon, he led a group of civil officials to inspect various towns. Within a few days, Fengyuan had a complete understanding of the situation in the towns and cities in the county. Soon, Fengyuan made a plan for the development of the county.

There are a lot of miscellaneous things in a county, and the more people there are, the more disputes there are among the people. Feng Yuan is dealing with many disputes almost every morning. In the afternoon, I rushed to the farmland to check the situation of the fields. Subsequently, Fengyuan called on militiamen and strong men from all over the territory of Tongwu to go to the fields to dig and repair ditches. Adhering to the slogan that the people take food as the sky, Fengyuan's first major thing in Tongwu was to tidy up the fields in the county.

After that, all kinds of things such as repairing bridges, building roads, expanding roads, etc., made Feng Yuan almost busy with his brain. Forget about these, the most important thing is that the garrison garrison association in the county does not cooperate with him at all. There is a small bandit in the county, and he almost wants to eliminate them. However, the garrison association did not cooperate at all, and always used various reasons to prevaricate itself. This made Feng Yuan very angry, as an army, he actually dragged on so much in cleaning up the bandits.

In the end, after a late night visit by a young general of the Garrison Association, Feng Yuan learned the mind of the Garrison Association. And this young general who came here was a protégé who disrespected the Son of Heaven, and there was no future for him to follow. At that time, Feng Yuan had to look at the young general with admiration, as a middle-level officer, he could see the situation. The name of his protégé of the Son of Heaven is indeed not something that anyone can ignore. Disrespecting the protégé of the word Heaven, what is the difference between that and disrespecting the Son of Heaven. And the kingdom's army is all loyal to the king, and what future can the generals who disrespect the king have.

Sure enough, within two or three days, the garrison division in charge of Tongwu and other counties came from the county town in person to bring back the guy who disrespected the protégé of the Son of Heaven. Feng Yuan knew that that guy would not be punished, but there was no way that he would lead the troops again. This is not because this person does not respect the protégé of the Son of Heaven, but because he disrespects the protégé of the Son of Heaven and disobeys the order of the county order to suppress the bandits. According to the royal law, the only thing that the head of a local civil official can give orders to the local garrison is the suppression of bandits. It's not an order, it's just a notification to the garrison and let the garrison be wiped out.

This guy obviously knew that Feng Yuan was a protégé of the Son of Heaven, but now the protégé of the Son of Heaven asked him to suppress the bandits. I really don't know what my brain thinks, that's a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and I go straight to heaven. A letter in the past, not cooperating with the local civil officials, exterminating the local bandits, this alone is enough to cut off the head. You know, now that the purge has just passed, the situation is not yet clear, and who knows if there will be another purge again.

Fengyuan did a very good job in the place, and on top of Xiao Chen's bookcase, there was also a letter, and what was said on it was what Fengyuan did after he arrived in Tongwu.
