Chapter 10 Beginner Assessment
Yingyi people didn't have much contact with Zhang Beichen, and she still had a lot of official business to do.
"Your Majesty, that Zhang Beichen is just a nobody, Baiyang County is a place of right and wrong, and he is not from a famous family, if you let him govern Baiyang County, he is afraid that it will be difficult to support." In the council hall, a man was respectfully speaking to the Yingyi people.
His name is Jingping, the monarch's father who was loyal to the Yingyi people before, was a courtier trained by the previous King of Qin to check and balance the old clan, and now he is also a close confidant of the Yingyi people.
In the simulation, Zhang Beichen once took refuge in him and became his protΓ©gΓ©.
"It is precisely because Baiyang County is a place of right and wrong that I want him to go." Yingyi said calmly, "This person has no family background, which is also his advantage." β
When Jing Ping heard this, he immediately understood, and said: "In Baiyang County, the two major clans of the Bai family and the Yang family are fighting with each other, and several county commanders dare not take care of them, and there are even people who are in the same league with them. β
"If the king asks a person with no family background to govern, the Bai family and the Yang family will naturally not conspire with him. But in this way, the difficulty of his governance is also doubled! β
"It's because it's difficult, that's why I'm looking for him!" Yingyi people also want to know whether Zhang Beichen has such unnatural growth potential in the simulation.
She already knew that letting Zhang Beichen preside over the law change could strengthen the Qin State. But now her foundation is unstable, and Zhang Beichen has no reputation, so it is impossible to promote the change.
So I first found a difficult copy to cultivate Zhang Beichen's ability and give him fame.
Jingping is not optimistic about Zhang Beichen, but it is not that he underestimates Zhang Beichen. It's the place of Baiyang County, since its establishment, three county commanders, two have been dismissed, and one has even died in office, which is not something that ordinary people can cure!
Yingyi people also thought of this, and she called the housekeeper Hu Cheng: "Steward Hu, Zhang Beichen is going to Baiyang County to take office, you follow him, you must protect his life." β
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Hu Cheng hugged his fists.
"Asked Steward Hu to protect Zhang Beichen, what is his origin? The king thinks so highly of him? Jing Ping was shocked.
This Hu Cheng used to be the commander of the guards who served as the king of Qin! Although he is old now, he is powerful, generally small, and demons, and he can't help him at all.
And such a character, the Yingyi people were actually sent to protect a small county order, which is really strange!
β¦β¦
Zhang Beichen has been given an official position, and the first thing he did was to fulfill his promise and invite the beggars before him to a full meal.
Zhang Beichen brought porridge and rice, steamed buns and some mutton, and invited the beggars to eat, and the beggars thanked them repeatedly.
"My lord is really a promise!"
"Thank you, sir!"
"I have long seen that adults are not mortals, and they have really been reused by the king!"
Zhang Beichen looked at the beggars in front of him and asked, "Old buddy, why did you all fall to such a point?" β
At the mention of this, the beggars sighed and said, "We were originally farmers who owned fields, but after years of war, some of us had their land occupied by enemy countries. Some had to sell their fields to the nobles because of poverty, and some were injured and sick...... In short, now I have no net worth, and I can only live one day at a time! β
"Those of us who are strong and have a skill may have the opportunity to be slaves for the noble lord. Others, it is estimated that they can only wait for death! β
Zhang Beichen saw their yellow and thin faces, and knew that Qin had a lot of crotch now. Homeless people and beggars like this can be seen everywhere. Because of this, there are many bandits who occupy the mountain and rob houses.
Internal and external troubles are the current situation of the Qin State!
And the Qin King Yingyi people, who had just ascended the throne, had an unstable foundation, and they just wanted to reform, and the people below did not cooperate.
Zhang Beichen asked again: "Then do you know what the situation is in Baiyang County?" β
At the mention of this, one of the beggars said, "Poplar County? It's not a place for people! β
Zhang Beichen handed him a few steamed buns and said, "Brother, tell me in detail." β
The beggar said: "The reason why Baiyang County is called Baiyang County is because there are two major clans in the local area, the Bai family and the Yang family. The Yang family was originally a local hero, with many clansmen, and half of the land in the county was theirs. β
"And the Bai family in Baiyang County is a branch of the Bai family, one of the three major clans of the Qin State. The strength is not weak. In Baiyang County, you are either a member of these two families, or their slaves and tenants, or you will not be able to survive at all! β
"And the two families often fight over land and water, and some people die each time. I heard that a few days ago, the local county orders were all killed by them! The people in the government don't dare to care! β
"yes." Another beggar said, "We beggars don't dare to go to the borders of Baiyang County to beg, otherwise they will be beaten to death!" β
When Zhang Beichen heard this, it seems that the Yingyi people really gave themselves a problem!
As for the Yingyi people, although he guessed that the other party knew him, there was no way to prove it at present. And from another point of view, even in the simulation, the Yingyi people really participated. The relationship between myself and her, in modern terms, is a game netizen!
The game is the game, and the reality is the reality. If you want to gain a foothold in this world and gain the trust of the Yingyi people, you have to prove your ability!
Zhang Beichen asked Hu Cheng on the side, "Steward Hu, can I take these people to Baiyang County?" β
Hu Cheng said: "Mr. has been given an official by the king, and in the Qin State, the official and the lord are one, so you are both a county commander and a 'public scholar', so you can naturally recruit retinues and servants." β
"It's just to feed these people, and with Mr.'s money, I'm afraid it's not enough."
The aristocracy in general has their own land, assets. Zhang Beichen was a newcomer, poor and white, and it was very difficult to feed a group of people.
Zhang Beichen said: "Then can I borrow it from you?" In the coming year, I will pay back double! β
Baiyang County is a dangerous place, Zhang Beichen felt that he rushed over, afraid that he would be killed. These beggars were also normal farmers and sergeants, and they were in a difficult situation, and they did not become bandits or robbers, proving that people are not bad.
If you can restrain them, you can be a force of your own.
Hu Cheng thought of Yingyiren's advice and asked him to help Zhang Beichen as much as possible, so he said, "Naturally, you can." β
"Good!" Zhang Beichen immediately said to the beggars, "Brothers, I have been appointed by the king and become the county magistrate of Baiyang County, and now there is a shortage of manpower. If you want to come, you can come with me as my retinue! β
When the beggars heard this, some people hesitated, "Baiyang County can't go." β
Some people gritted their teeth and said: "If you don't go, you will die, and there is still a way to live." This lord is so faithful to his promise, presumably he is not deceiving us. β
"My lord, I'll go with you! As long as you take care of the food, whether you go to farming, or strike iron, or be a guard, the villain can do it! β
"I'll go too!"
"My lord, take me one!" The beggars knelt down one after another.
Zhang Beichen counted it, there are a total of fifteen people here, there are no old, weak, sick or disabled, all of them are middle-aged men and peasant women. Because the old, weak, sick and disabled could not come here at all, they had already died on the road.
He registered the names of fifteen people, took the luggage that Hu Cheng had prepared for him, and prepared to go to Baiyang County.
