Chapter 15: Officialdom
"Hahahaha, congratulations to the virtuous nephew for having an official body from now on! The position of the inspection envoy of the inspection department of Baiyun Town is the virtuous nephew! β
Seeing Liang Jin walk into the main hall of the Inspection Division, He Jun immediately laughed and said.
Liang Jin knelt on one knee at this time, made a martial arts salute, and said to He Jun: "If there is no uncle, how can the little nephew be the first official of the inspection of the seventh grade!" β
Liang Jin bowed to He Jun, and Liang Jin has adapted to this ancient custom over the past few days, and saluting the inferior to the superior is also a common thing in this time and space.
And He Jun naturally accepted Liang Jin's gift, after all, the relationship between the two now, one is an uncle and the other is a nephew, and it is also appropriate to accept this gift.
In addition, He Jun obtained this official position for Liang Jin, which can be regarded as a favor to Liang Jin, so he naturally deserves this gift.
Although Liang Jin did have great kindness to He Jun in the battle of Qingyan Mountain, there was no need for He Jun to thank him with a seventeen-grade official position, which was too heavy after all.
A white body, if you want to get an official body, it can be said that it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, especially in this Great Wei Kingdom, which is the world of the wealthy family, and the official positions all over the world are basically controlled by the family,ββ of course, the royal family is the largest wealthy family.
So it can be seen how difficult it is to have an official body!
After He Jun saw that Liang had made a salute, he made a false gesture and said politely: "You and my uncle and nephew don't have to be like this~"
Liang Jin naturally knew the other party's polite words, and said busily: "Uncle's great kindness, the little nephew knows it in his heart." After saying this, Liang Jin said with a happy face: "Presumably my uncle must have been promoted, my little nephew congratulates my uncle on his promotion!" β
"Hahahaha," He Jun smiled at the moment, his face was full of smugness, and he said: "The official product is still the seventh grade, but now he is already the county lieutenant of our Fukang County!" After saying this, he also had a happy expression on his face.
"Although my uncle is also a seven-grade soldier, but it is the sequence of civil officials, our Great Wei has always been a civil official to control the generals, even if it is a seven-grade civil official, he is not afraid to face the military attache of the third or fourth grade, congratulations to the uncle, congratulations to the uncle!" Liang Jin immediately congratulated.
It is said that the seventh-grade civil officials are not afraid to face the third- and fourth-grade military generals, but this is an allusion from this dynasty.
During the reign of Taizong of the Great Wei Dynasty, there was such an incident, a third-grade military attachΓ©, in front of a seven-grade county order (Fengkang County is a big county, and the county order belongs to the sixth grade), was severely reprimanded by that county order, but the military general didn't even dare to raise his head.
This incident has gradually become a joke among the government and the public, and it has had a wide impact. Although it is a joke, it can also be seen that in the Great Wei Dynasty, the status of Wenchen is really much higher than that of military generals.
Therefore, Liang Jin said that the seventh-grade civil officials were not afraid to face the third- and fourth-grade generals, and it was from this allusion.
Now Liang Jin is the inspection envoy and the military attache of the seventh grade, and He Jun has been promoted to the county lieutenant of Fukang County. The county lieutenant is in charge of the military officers and soldiers in a county, so even if Liang Jin is an inspector, he naturally has to curry favor with He Jun,ββ this is also Liang Jin has already figured it out, even if He Jun is not a county lieutenant, he is naturally promoted, and Liang Jin naturally still has to curry favor with him, Liang Jin is clear about this point.
As the saying goes, there are people in the DPRK and China who are good officials, and this is indeed the case.
He Jun waved his hand, and then said with a straight face: "By the way, Guo Ying gave you five thousand jars of Liang's spirits a month, how did you do this?" β
When Liang Jin heard this, he didn't know why He Jun suddenly mentioned this, but Liang Jin was naturally very interested in the wine, and immediately said: "Uncle Yu, my family's wine workshop has expanded more than twice, but the five thousand jars of wine are not a problem." β
"Well, that's done," He Jun said, and then said to Liang Jin: "Virtuous nephew, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, and there is another day - it is Guo Ying's son."
I don't know what's going on, the head of the Guo family suddenly wants to hold Guo Ying's birthday, well, virtuous nephew, tomorrow night is Guo Ying's birthday banquet, I'll give you an invitation, and you can go too;
After all, they will all be patrolled in the future, and if you go there to meet people, no matter how familiar you are, this will be somewhat helpful to you in the future. β
Liang Jin clasped his fists and saluted: "Thank you uncle for mentioning it." β
"We don't need to talk about this," He Jun said with a smile, "By the way, your Liang spirits, I will also bring some tomorrow, after all, it is a banquet, and this kind of wine atmosphere is needed,ββ at the moment this wine is hung in the name of the Seventh Prince, and you must not forget it then." β
Liang Jin hurriedly said: "The little nephew knows, after all, such a good wine, and it will be produced in large quantities in the future, this can only be hung in the name of the seventh prince, so that no one will covet it, this little nephew understands." β
He Jun touched his fat face and said, "It's good if you save it." β
β¦β¦
In the compound of the Yamen of the Inspection Division, He Jun led the horse under his hands, and then turned over directly on the horse, and said to Liang Jin, who came to see him off: "Then I'll go first, after that, this Inspection Department is your territory, do a good job, don't lose your uncle and my face." β
Liang Jin hurriedly clasped his fists with both hands, bowed down, and said to He Jun: "Uncle don't worry, the little nephew can save it." β
"Well," He Jun said, "then I'm leaving!" As he spoke, he glanced at Liang Jin again, and Xuan'er took dozens of subordinates, all on horseback, galloped out of the gate of the Inspection Division, and walked on the main road.
The compound of the Inspection Division is very large, which is equivalent to a school field, Liang Jin stood in the courtyard, estimating that the entire school field was loose with 2,000 people.
At this time, in addition to the two gatekeepers who watched the door, the inspection department could be said to be the commander of Liang Jin.
However, Liang Jin has ready-made soldiers in Xiashui Village, which is also what He Jun did not say about replenishing Liang Jin before leaving. Of course, the regular strength of the Inspection Division has a total of 500 people, and He Jun was paid empty before, so the soldiers could only make up more than 200 sword archers at that time.
"Young Master, oh no, my lord," Zuo Zeguang also said with excitement on his face, "So this huge inspection department will be ours in the future?" β
Liang Jin looked at Zuo Zeguang and said with emotion: "Yes, this will belong to us in the future!" He said to Zuo Zeguang again: "Come back to Xiashui Village with me, pick someone over, and fill up the establishment." β
Zuo Zeguang immediately knelt on one knee and made a military salute: "Yes, my lord!" β
After Liang Jin and Zuo Zeguang returned to Xiashui Village, they immediately began to reorganize the village protection team of Xiashui Village. At present, the total number of village guards is 1,660.
Among them, 1,200 are newcomers who have joined in the recent stage, but the other 600 people are all veterans, and they are all soldiers who have experienced the battle of Qingyan Mountain and have been tempered.
Liang Jin only drew out 100 veterans from the more than 600 people, and among the other 1,000 people, Liang Jin drew out 400, a total of 500 people, which was the full number of Baiyun Town's patrol sword archers.
