Chapter 3: The Pavilion Chief (I)
"Shimizu Pavilion Chief?"
Pavilion chief, Han Cheng Qin system, ten miles of a pavilion, the pavilion has a long, in charge of the arrest and impeachment of thieves.
This is equivalent to the director of the local police station, which can be regarded as a serious Han civil servant.
When Liu Qi heard this, his eyebrows moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Second Brother Xu, I remember that I waited for the old pavilion chief of Qingshui Pavilion, and since I resigned a month ago, it has been empty. This time, I don't know who will be elected? ”
Xu Case said with a smile: "Anyway, the head of the Qingshui Pavilion has always been recommended by the three elders in the township, or by the local people with high moral integrity. In any case, it will not be the turn of you and me! ”
Xu Case is a good point, the position of pavilion chief, not if you want to say and do, you can do it, take Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty and the ancestor of Liu Qi, to become the chief of the Surabaya Pavilion, it is not good luck, but Liu Bang has a wide range of friends, excellent ability, and his reputation in the Surabaya Pavilion is not small.
On the contrary, Liu Qi and Xu case, one is from a young family, and the other is from an Orion family with a low status.
No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for the two of them to become the new pavilion chief of Qingshui Pavilion.
Xu Case then changed his words, and said what he saw and heard when he went to the county seat this time, and summed it up in one sentence, the Yellow Turban Army is coming, and the atmosphere in the county seat of Gaixian County is also a lot more serious.
Gai County is located in the east of Taishan County and is handed over to Langya County.
Thinking of Langya County, it happens to be at the junction with Gonglai Mountain, which is Zhuge Liang's hometown.
"Now Zhuge Liang, I'm afraid he's only three or four years old!"
Liu Qi said in his heart.
Looking at the urgency of the case, he didn't have much worry.
When the Yellow Turban Army attacked Taishan County on a large scale, it would also be in the second year of Chuping (191 AD), this time to attack, the Yellow Turban Army had not made much progress, and finally retreated to Qingzhou, killing Zheng Sui, the prime minister of Rencheng, and after destroying the main force of Yanzhou, he killed Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou. Eventually, it attracted Cao Cao's attention. The Yellow Turban Army was then defeated by Cao Cao, and after surrendering, it became a famous Qingzhou soldier, and it was also Cao Cao's capital to compete for the world in the future.
Now the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou is still in Xu County and other places, and the impact is not big in Taishan County, but it has gathered many bandits to take advantage of the chaos to rob.
In addition to defending the local area, in Liu Qi's view, the recruitment of the county temple was not without the purpose of receiving an order from the imperial court to raise troops and support them in Qingdao, Henan and other places.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Liu Ji finally came back with wine.
Although the wine is exchanged for food, it is a little inappropriate, but in the face of Xu's case, Liu Qi did not feel inappropriate.
Subsequently, he personally cooked, steamed the meat brought by Xu Case, tied it with a bamboo stick, and put it on the kettle, burned it over a low fire, and sprinkled it with salt.
At first glance, it looks like a barbecue.
I wanted to call people from my brother's family to taste it together, but as soon as Liu Qi arrived outside the hospital, he heard a commotion inside, so he had to dispel this idea and planned to invite him again in the future.
The four of them sat down, Liu Youniang, Liu Ji, Xu Case and others, where have they ever seen such a way to eat, and after the stomach, they feel extremely delicious.
The alcohol in the countryside of Dahan was already very weak, and Liu Qi didn't even feel much after drinking two large bowls, but it was Liu Youniang who cried and drank a small sip, and her face became red.
After seeing that the wine that Liu Ji exchanged for was bottoming out, Liu Qi still sat upright, Xu Case and Liu Ji, two teenagers, one older and one younger, were a little groggy.
Seeing this, Xu Case had a bold temperament, and couldn't help but praise: "Da Lang's alcohol is as good as ever, I might as well wait!" ”
Liu Ji was dizzy, but he talked a lot, but the expression on his face was revealed, and he obviously also admired his eldest brother Liu Qizhi.
Liu Qi's heart moved, but he didn't think that the original "Liu Qi" had such a good amount of wine.
Time flickered, and when the little shabby banquet at home was over, Liu Qi personally sent Xu Case back, and took the opportunity to meet the uncle of the Xu family with some food.
Now in this year of war and famine, grain is the most precious thing, Liu Qi sold the land, and then gave grain to repay the kindness, it didn't take a night and a half to spread throughout the entire Qingshui Pavilion.
Although ordinary people sigh about Liu Qi's trip and have a difficult life in the future, they all feel their character, such a person is a person worth dating.
Early the next morning.
Last night, after returning from Xu's house, Liu Qi explained to his younger siblings that he planned to exchange food for the army to subsidize the family, Liu Ji and Liu Youniang were reluctant in their hearts, but they also knew that there was no field, only a vegetable garden, and they would be sad in the future, so they could only agree to it.
It was after eating breakfast that I found my brother Liu Zhi, and asked him to take care of him more, so he prepared a few dry wheat cakes as dry food, and planned to go to Xiangting to enlist.
The specific time of this recruitment in the county has not been determined, but the Yellow Turban Army is scattered, how can it fight the regular army of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that in autumn, the situation will be clear.
Every ten years, the county temple also has food distribution, in Liu Qi's view, enough for the younger brothers and sisters in the family to eat, if he follows the villagers in the army, out to the county temple on the way to eat in addition to the need to prepare their own food, once enlisted, there must be military food distribution.
Naturally, Liu Qi responded to the call, and in addition to the necessary reluctance to make a living, he did not have the idea of finding opportunities to make contributions, and all of this was based on being able to live.
But when Xu was late, he brought another news, which made Liu Qi's original future plan have to make some adjustments.
"Da Lang, didn't you go to the market today?" Looking at Liu Qi's expression, Xu Zhi knew the facts, so he hurriedly pulled Liu Qi to the market a few miles away, and explained: "This morning, the market has spread all over the market.
That Ma Gong spoke, the vacant pavilion chief of the Qingshui Pavilion, anyone can recommend himself.
But if he has outstanding ability, he should be recommended to the county king!
Da Lang, if you can get the Ma Gong to be promoted, how can the county gentleman not agree! ”
"Second Brother Xu, ......what do you mean?"
Liu Qi was dragged to the village road by Xu Case, and his head was still a little dizzy.
This Qingshui Pavilion Chief, led by this Ma Gong, was obviously instructed by the county order, but Xu Case's behavior made him unable to guess for a while.
Seeing Liu Qi's face, Xu Case patted his head and sighed: "Da Lang, I don't know a single big character, and it is impossible for me to take the initiative to fight, but you are different, in the past, you were sincere, and you can read and write, although I have taught you twice, but you are extremely talented, and now you are more accurate than me."
There is a saying that can be written and martial, but it is not just a good try!
Moreover, Na Ma Gong asked people to be arraigned, and the age was not determined. ”
Xu Qi's words were rough but the reason was very clear, and after Liu Qi heard it, he was also a little moved in his heart.
If you can become the chief of Qingshui Pavilion, but a standard Han civil servant, the immediate livelihood problem will also be solved, and this time to the county seat, it will be called to the battlefield in the future, and there is a small official on the left and right, and there are a few people under him, and the chances of saving his life are much greater.
On the other hand, although this Ma Gong did not set up hard conditions, he was afraid that the situation was not as simple as imagined!
