The tall city wall stands majestically, although it is not as good as Xianyang City in terms of height, width, and solidity, but the noise that comes out of the city gate is not possessed by Xianyang City.

This is Xinzheng, which was once the capital of Zhengguo.

After Han destroyed Zheng, the capital was moved here, and it became the capital of Korea.

Many of the cities in Korea have undergone a bloody transformation, but this one has not been soaked in blood.

The biggest contributor to this phenomenon is Zhang Liang, who stabilized grain prices, gave the people of Xinzheng a way to live, and left Xinzheng with the Zhang family.

A convoy entered through the city gate and walked for half an hour before all of them entered.

As soon as you enter the city gate, the city is full of people, brothels attract customers, street hawkers, and children play.

The complex sound caused the curtains in many of the carriages in the carriage to be drawn, and the owner of the carriage looked out with an inquiring and curious gaze.

Not long after, the curtain in a carriage in the convoy was lowered, and Ying Cheng Cheng smiled and said to Wang Chan beside him:

"It's bustling here."

Without waiting for Wang Chan to respond, Ying Cheng raised his voice and said to the driver:

"Go to the county guard's house."

If Zhang Liang knew that this piece of pure land that he had kept, the only pure land in the Han Land, would be cheaper in the end, and his rival would not be happy.

The county watchman's house, lobby.

The main seat was covered with several layers of animal skins, and Yingcheng Dama Golden Knife sat in it.

The Xinzheng County Shou, who was occupied, was not angry, but stood under the hall with a ashamed face, bowing his body slightly.

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent, and I have not captured the wise man."

Ying Chengcheng touched his chin, looked at the black hair from the county guard, looked at the cloth shoes on his feet, and looked at the county guard's forehead sweating.

"How long have you been out?"

"It's almost March."

"Three months."

Ying Chengcheng lowered his head and muttered, raising his head with an unkind face.

"In three months, you picked up all that red tape?"

The county guard wiped the sweat from his forehead, sneered and just wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Ying Chengcheng waving his hand.

", don't dangle in front of my eyes if it's okay."

In the order given by Ying Chengcheng to the county guard, there was no arrest of Zhang Liang at all.

"Yes, yes!"

The familiar feeling returned, and the county guard breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and even spoke.

"If there's a fart, let it go."

"Please allow me to return to the dark guard, this Xinzheng County Guard."

There was a hint of hesitation on the county guard's face, and he was quickly washed away by the expression of gritted teeth.

"Let someone else do it."

"Huh?"

Ying Chengcheng, who had just witnessed the changes in Marxism-Leninism and was depressed, became interested now. He crossed his hands and turned the backs of his hands upwards, his chin resting on the meat rack that was folded on the backs of his hands.

"Actually, I should have gone to Xinzheng a long time ago, and I returned to Xianyang again in the middle, do you know why?"

"The villain is stupid, I don't know, please let me know."

"Because Marxism-Leninism has changed his mind, he is the subordinate who was almost pulled away from the balcony before. I bought him and gave him back his freedom, and made him a steward of the building. He was not satisfied with the status quo, and for the sake of his official position and title, he inflicted on the concubine of Loutai what others had done to him when he was a vassal, so I went back and killed him. ”

Ying Chengcheng made a gesture of wiping his neck and smiled.

"You are well-informed, are you not doing good deeds in Xinzheng, and I am afraid that I will touch your neck?"

“…… The villain didn't know about it. ”

"Then why do you want to resign and not do it, the position of Xinzheng County Guard is a fat shortage, and no matter how many people want to do it, they can't do it."

"Strong fear." The county guard smiled bitterly: "I am afraid of flattery from others, and I am obsessed with subservience of others."

is now a strong guard for Xinzheng County, but he was just a secret guard in the past. Although the strong Dark Guard is very capable, he enjoys a high reputation among the Dark Guards.

But compared with the touting between small groups and the touting of the head of a county, the master looks up to the former.

There are 36 counties in the founding of Great Qin, and there are only 36 people in the world who can be the county guards. In the era when the county system was not fully implemented, the power of these thirty-six people was much greater than that of the feudal officials of later generations.

They were in charge of almost everything in the Thirty-six Prefectures except for military power, including the appointment and dismissal of officials.

As long as these county guards are willing, except for the two official positions of county chief and county lieutenant, they can change all the officials of a county. They can even point to the chickens and dogs in the village, saying that these are sacred beasts and should be worshipped.

A person worthy of the name attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

Of course, having said that, no one actually dares to do this, and the separation of powers is not an ornament.

The main responsibility of the county is to report the local work to the central Xianyang, and the orders from above are issued, and the county lieutenant can forcibly control the county guard with military strength. There is really a county guard who acts like this, unless the relationship between the county and the county lieutenant is opened.

But this power is real, and every county guard has it.

Qiang has no surname, only a first name. An ordinary secret guard with a lowly status and a little brain ascended to the sky in one step and became one of the thirty-six county guards, and too many people were strong.

Those local aristocrats who used to not open their eyes to see their bodies gave Qiang beauties and gold one by one, and touted Qiang's ability to do their best. After saying that there are few in heaven and nothing on earth, the saint cannot compare with his body.

Let the educated since childhood, stand out from the many selections, and think that the strong and iron-clad will can't be called, and the mind needs to be tempered again.

"You can think about it."

Ying Cheng Cheng Zheng color.

"I can let you be a secret guard today, and if you want to be a guard of Xinzheng County tomorrow, I shouldn't."

"If you keep talking, the villain will really regret it. The villain didn't want to be the second Marxist-Leninist, so he was tired of the king and made a special trip, so please allow me to go back to the dark guard. ”

Looking at Qiang's resolute expression, looking at the wandering eyes of the specially trained Dark Guard Elite, Ying Chengcheng was silent.

[Can't even an educated and trained secret guard resist temptation?] ]

"Can't really help?" Ying Chengcheng said in a deep voice: "You are not a Marxist-Leninist who was once a subordinate, you are a secret guard who is one in a thousand, and you have received the most advanced education in this era."

"Insurmountable."

Forced to spit out these four words, let out a long breath, and after this breath was finished, it seemed that he had unloaded all the burdens on his body, and he was still free, and said calmly:

Zhang Shun sent his daughter the day before yesterday, and the villain looked at the country with a fragrant color, shy and timid. Her female voice was like a yellow bird, and she said softly and weakly that she only wanted to be my concubine. In the past, such a beautiful woman who was not lost to His Majesty's concubine, I didn't even dare to look at it for a long time, but now I ask for it. And there is more than one person who sends a beautiful woman like him, if he is willing, the number of beauties around him at this moment is not inferior to the king.

"This is true of beauty, and even more so of money. As long as you are a little stronger, this lobby will not be able to hold the money sent by those people. Qiang struggled every day and didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. A little slack, accustomed to beautiful women like clouds, accustomed to profligacy, it is difficult to have today's state of mind. If the king had come ten days and a half late, he would have given him a strong sword, just like that Marxist-Leninist. ”

Ying Chengcheng was silent again.

Qiang waited patiently, waiting for Ying Chengcheng to let him return to the dark guard.

When he became the county guard of Xinzheng, he didn't know that the secret guard had become a thing of the past.

Stomping~

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, allocate me another 200,000 gold, if there is not so much, 100,000 gold can be short-term."

The man wearing a black short fight and Chu Mo clothes broke into the lobby, and it was the Mo family giant who regarded himself as Qin Mo.

Seeing that Ying Chengcheng was sitting on the chair and did not answer, the strong man in the county guard costume in the hall waited patiently, knowing that it was not the right time.

However, the research project has entered a critical node, and the scientists, who are anxious for funding, do not care if it is time, so they take three steps and two steps to walk in front of Ying Chengcheng and wave their hands in front of Ying Chengcheng's eyes.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty! ”

Ying Cheng knocked it off, and said impatiently:

"What the hell!"

Among these doormen in the house, Jing Ke is the one who can make Ying Cheng angry the most.

A world-class assassin with no brains, who acts recklessly and does not like to think, from time to time can make Ying Cheng speechless and ask Gai Nie to compete with him.

When the most annoying thing is the scientist. In fact, scientists are good everywhere, with high EQ and IQ, and they do not discount their work, and they don't let Ying Cheng worry about it.

It stands to reason that this kind of doorman should be a dream guest, but there is no perfect thing in the world, and scientists ask for money, a lot of money.

The money to support a scientist is much more than the money to support all the guests of the Chang'an Monarch's Mansion combined.

Other visitors ask for a few golds, but scientists ask for 100,000 gold. It would be nice if all this money could be converted into results, but the problem is that most of the money has been wasted, and you can't even hear a sound.

To say that the scientist is a Pixiu, it may be a bit too much to only eat and not pull. Three pistols, improved drugs, high-yielding crops...... These are all pulled out by scientists.

But compared with the massive amount of money and materials spent, these things are really pitiful, and the conversion rate is hugely low. No matter how good his temper is, he can't suppress his anger when he meets a scientist who asks for money.

Scientists have long been accustomed to spreading their hands together.

"There's no money."

Ying Cheng's eyes widened.

[The 100,000 gold I took before the wax sacrifice was spent?] How does this take this is this? ]

"You...... Forget it, while waiting, I'll talk to Qiang and you about your funds after we finish talking! ”

Ying Cheng, who originally wanted to ask where the flowers were, swallowed all the questions that came to his mouth.

It's also vain to ask, the scientist said a lot of professional terms, even he, a traverser who provides design concepts and dictates finished products, doesn't understand.

"What is the king struggling with, I will solve problems for the king!"

Ying Cheng let go of the scientists, but the scientists didn't want to let go of Ying Cheng Chan. The scientist who was thinking about funding had a righteous and awe-inspiring face, and he looked like he was supremely glorious in sharing worries for the lord.

If Jing Ke asked, Ying Chengcheng would only smile and let him stay cool.

But the scientist asked, Ying Chengcheng only glanced at the scientist, and then retold the conversation with the county guard and the scientist, the Mohist and Confucianism were the two major scholars.

"What's so hard about that?"

The scientist looked puzzled.

"The king should be the one who is below."

Strong Echo Says:

"That's what the scientists say."

Seeing that Ying Chengcheng was still unmoved, the scientist had no sign of agreeing, and sat down on the chair next to Ying Chengcheng seriously.

"Where is the gentleman hesitating?"

"When I appointed Qiang to Xinzheng, Xinzheng was in the hands of Zhang Liang, and its county guard was in name only, and the people listened to the words of the Zhang family and not the words of the officials. In order to stabilize the situation, he has made many measures and made a lot of contributions. Now that Zhang Liang is defeated, the county guard is in name only, but I want to kick away the strong, which is not appropriate. ”

"It is inappropriate for the king to appoint cronyism. Meritocracy, not cronyism. Qiang Ben is a secret guard, and his self-proclaimed ability is not enough to serve as a county guard, and it is difficult to resist the temptation. However, the king thinks that his hard work is high, and he does not want him to leave the throne. If you act like this, where will you put your livelihood at will? The gentleman is confused. ”

Ying Chengcheng disagreed:

"Lack of ability to govern Xinzheng to such a situation? Along the way, there was turmoil in all cities in Korea, and some people with bad intentions forced the government. Only Xinzheng has handled political affairs properly, and no local nobles have become bigger. Although Zhang Liangbao has the merit of doing this, there are also many strong governance. ”

The scientist shook his head.

"No, no, no, your lord's judgment is too arbitrary, and your subjective will is serious. Strong before the future of the king, Xinzheng will be governed very well. But Qiang himself said that if he can't resist the temptation, he will fall later. When Qiang falls, he goes from virtuous to unvirtuous. If you have to be a county guard, do you know yourself better than strong? ”

"Fall, what is the fall? Is it depraved to be greedy for money and lustful? Am I a depravity? ”

The scientist whispered:

"The king is sophistry again, I am not good at words, and I can't argue with the king. I only know that Ma Lie, who once gave the name to the king, squeezed his concubines after becoming the steward of the building, and finally assassinated him for the king's return to Xianyang. A building steward with an annual salary of 100 stones is like this, not to mention that there are only thirty-six county guards in the world. ”

Ying Cheng squinted, opened his mouth and was about to say something, but he had been standing with a strong fist and said in a deep voice:

"That's right, Qiang is grateful to the king, but Qiang is not afraid of swords, guns, swords, halberds, but is afraid of beauty money."

The scientist added:

"The strong ability can be guarded by Xinzheng County, but its heart can't. Those who are officials should be sympathetic to the people's feelings and use their own dignity. The principle of thrift laid down by the ancient kings was that all the craftsmen in the world, such as those who make wheels, make chariots, make tanners, burn pottery, smelt metals, and work as carpenters, let them do their best.

"As long as it's enough to supply civilian use, that's fine. Measure your stomach and eat, and tailor your clothes. But after being forced to guard the county, he could not resist the temptation, and he would inevitably use the money that should have been delegated to the people for his own use. If he takes another woman's daughter or another person's money, he will make it convenient elsewhere. The king wants to be only one strong person today, and give up the people of Xinzheng? ”

Ying Cheng was speechless.

In addition to Qiang, who has been waiting patiently, there is one more scientist waiting.

The scientist, who had just been in a hurry, was now irritable and sat down in his chair.

Because he knew that Ying Chengcheng's decision at this time was more important than the funds given to him.

After being in Chang'an Junfu for so long, scientists know very well that Ying Chengcheng has never hesitated in one person. Solving Qiang's problem is actually very simple, let Qiang do his job, and then give Qiang monetary compensation.

But what next? What about the next appointments?

Do all the appointed officials have to wonder whether they will turn bad and whether they will be the second Marxist-Leninist? It is impossible for everyone to be so conscious.
