In 689 B.C., King Wen of Chu moved the remnants of Luozi to the south of Mishui and established the first city of Chu in the Sanxiang River Valley.

Today, the county seat of Luo County, Changsha County, the Minister of Jingzhou Thorn History of the Han Empire, was renovated and expanded on the basis of the old Luozi National City.

The county seat of Luoxian is approximately a square, and the length of the city wall is about 360 zhang in the east, west, north and south - the area of the county seat is not large, and it does not take two quarters of an hour to walk from the drunken immortal residence to the county temple.

However, at the end of the Han Dynasty, the sanitary conditions in the county seat were quite poor, and the streets were full of sewage, domestic garbage, and even human and animal feces and urine - just after changing into a fancy dress, Ou Xing didn't want to be soiled in the next moment - the option of walking was ruled out.

If you ride a horse, it is easy to mess up the costume. In addition, the hakama only has a trouser leg and no crotch, and it is extremely uncomfortable to ride a horse in a fancy costume - the option of riding a horse is also ruled out.

So, I had to take a car to the county temple.

"The Son of Heaven drives six horses, the princes drive four, the doctor three, the scholar two, and the Shuren one."

"In the right cloth above 2,000 stones, more than 300 stones covered with soap cloth, covered with soap above 1,000 stones, covered with white cloth below 200 stones, all have four-dimensional bar clothes. The Jia people are not allowed to ride in horse-drawn carriages. Except for the red painting bar, the rest are all green clouds. ”

According to the etiquette system, Ou Xing can take a carriage drawn by three horses, and the cover can be made of white cloth. But Ou Xing didn't choose to travel in a carriage - the sun was high, the temperature was rising, and he was worried that the baby horses would suffer from heat stroke.

Ou Xing entrusted Zuixianju to rent an ox cart in advance. At this time, Ou Kang and Ou Le made a cameo appearance as a coachman and set off with him to the Chaoxian Temple in a leisurely manner.

Like other county towns in the Han Empire, the county seat of Luoxian can also be divided into three major blocks: Guansi (government affairs area), city (commercial area), and Li (residential area). Between the blocks, there are walls and streets that are separated by walls and do not interfere with each other.

Luoxian County Temple is located in the north of the county seat, the shape of the wall is rectangular, the main gate of the county temple is facing the central avenue, facing south.

Take the ox cart, turn into the central avenue from the north-south auxiliary road opposite the drunken immortal residence, and after a short time, the Luoxian County Temple will arrive.

Ou Xing got off at the stone watch in front of the temple gate, and told Ou Kang and Ou Le: "I will enter the temple to register and report, and the two of you are here, don't move." ”

"Yui." The two bowed their heads.

The bullock cart creaked to a stop. At this time, the pavilion chief of the temple gate pavilion with two halberd guards also leaned over, as if to inquire about the investigation.

Ou Xing arched his hand towards the three of them, and saluted: "Pavilion chief, gentlemen, Ou Xing is polite." I am the new county Tian Cao official summoned by the county commander Dong Gong, and I came to Gong Cao to report for registration today. ”

As he spoke, Ou Xing took out a bamboo thorn from his cuff and offered it with both hands.

"Please take a look at the pavilion chief and pass it on on your behalf, and there is work."

Seeing that although Ou Xing was too young, he was dignified and dressed like a dog, and the pavilion chief didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly returned the salute.

"Li Fang, the head of the South Gate Pavilion, has seen Ou Jun."

The northland accent should be the old department of the Liangzhou Army of the county order. No wonder he doesn't know himself, Ou Xing thought secretly. Regardless of the reputation and notoriety, the district star is definitely famous in Luo County and some of its surrounding areas.

Li Fang took Ou Xing's famous thorn with both hands, and then handed it to a pavilion guard beside him, telling him to go to the communication quickly. Then he turned around and personally led the way for Ou Xing.

"Ou Jun, please come with me to the school house for a while."

Juku is an additional building next to the gate of the prefectural temple. It is connected to the fence and has one room on the left and one on the left. When he went to the door, he changed his clothes, and the school thought about what to deal with in detail—this work, Ou Xing had completed it when he was in the Drunken Immortal Residence—he only had to sit in the school to rest and wait.

"Pavilion Chief Li is a person from Longxi, and he hasn't consulted Taifu yet?"

Ou Jun guessed wrong. In Xia Li Fang, the cursive character is straight, and he is a native of Hanyang County. ”

……

Not long after sitting in the school, a county official walked in with the pavilion guard who reported the news, and bowed to the district star:

"Ou Tian Cao, there is a long wait. The lord Kou Jun is invited, please come with me. ”

This is obviously to know yourself, and you should be a local native. Ou Xing hurriedly got up and bowed back: "Thank you for your work." ”

"Au Tian Cao, please." The magistrate turned around and led the way.

"I'm bothering Pavilion Chief Li, farewell."

After greeting the pavilion chief and the pavilion guard, Ou Xing walked out behind the county magistrate.

"Don't dare, Ou Tian Cao walks slowly." Li Fang and the pavilion pawn saluted each other together.

"I look at my feet, and I know it very well." Out of the school, the district scout asked, "Dare to ask the honorable name?" ”

"Do you remember that Au Tian Cao is down?" The county official turned around and was slightly surprised, "In Xia Koushou, the cursive word Boxi, now he is a meritorious Cao Zuo official." When Tian Cao entered Kou's private school, Shou had just finished his studies. ”

"It turned out to be the senior brother in person, and the star was polite."

While talking, the two passed through the main gate of the county temple, and were faced with an earthen wall that served as a screen, which was called Futong at the time.

Bypass the Gang and enter the court. The most important and prominent building in the court is the county yazheng hall, which is the place where the county commander Dong Yi sees things.

The main hall is a large hall with no partitions, separated by a curtain from the center. Ou Xing looked around and saw that the walls of the main hall were painted with portraits of several county magistrates, and there were text annotations next to the portraits.

There is no portrait of the former prefectural magistrate.

"Note its turbidity advance and retreat, the so-called not hidden, not vain, even the truth of the story, posterity is to see, enough to persuade fear, although the "Spring and Autumn" picks the goodness of the hair, punishes the evil of the fine, does not avoid the prince, there is no way to pass this, especially Ming."

Due to the increasingly corrupt rule of the Han Dynasty, the corrupt county magistrates were afraid that their actions would be whipped by future generations, and they increasingly resisted the portrait.

To the Yangjia period (first year: March 132 - last year: 135 years. It is the second era name of Emperor Liu Bao of Han Shun), painted the portrait of the former county magistrate on the wall of the main hall, and basically disappeared in the entire empire.

On both sides of the main hall are the wings of the office of the prefectural officials. The county order is observed in the main hall every three or five days, and daily trivial matters can be handled by the county officials.

Bypassing the main hall, there is the seat of the directors of Zhucao. In the center, is Gong Cao.

Ou Xing followed Kou Shou into Gong Cao and came to the outside of the office.

"Tian Cao, please, the chief official is already waiting." Kou Shou saluted and took his leave.

"There's Senior Brother Lao."

Ou Xing bowed in return. After seeing Kou Shou leave, he took off his shoes and stepped into the chamber.

"Color! Personable, elegant. What a young Yulang. ”

As soon as he entered the door, he heard Kou Zheng's cheers and admiration, and Ou Xing hurriedly bowed down.

"Ou Xing meets the chief."

"Excuse me, excuse me." Kou Zheng raised his hand and motioned for Ou Xing to get up, "Gongchen, please take a seat." ”

"Thank you, Lord." Ou Xingli got up and sat down on the couch under Kou Zheng.

"Not long ago, I heard that Gongchen asked the prince of Jiayu. The prince said: 'The matter of the crop is also a small skill; Etiquette and education, the avenue also. Gong Chen said: "I wish to refine the small skills, to support the avenue." ’”

Speaking of this, Kou Zheng picked up a paper book on several cases - it was a copy of the "Luo County Agricultural Revitalization Plan" that had not yet been copied, and patted it with emotion.

"But I never thought that Gongchen was proficient in agriculture to such a realm, which can be called the Shennong of this world."

"The star is terrified, and he doesn't dare to be so praised as a big brother." Ou Xing bowed his head again.

Kou Zheng is not confused when he is old, but in terms of generation, he and Kou Bao Kou Feng are the same generation. In the past, when he was in elementary school in Kou Shiwu, Ou Xing also followed the Kou brothers to call Kou Zheng the eldest brother.

"With this book, it is enough to leave a name in history, and any praise Gongchen deserves it."

……

After the greetings, Kou Zheng gave Ou Xing some education, and he had the demeanor of a good big brother.

There are many affairs in Gongcao, and this time it is vaguely visible that there are people queuing up outside the office. The words were almost finished, and Kou Zheng took out a bell and shook it.

Hearing the sound, an assistant official came into the room, bowed to Kou Zheng and said, "Master." ”

Kou Zheng instructed the assistant officials to take Ou Xing to the official book to sign and sign and officially register for employment.

Ou Xing saluted, said goodbye to Kou Zheng, and walked out of the governing room with the officials. As soon as he stepped out of the door, a cold voice came from his ears.

"Hmph, miscellaneous mining and suppression, deceiving the world and stealing fame!"

"The remains of the screen; Juku, a house outside the door. When the minister comes to the court, he should give up outside the door, and he is more familiar with the things to deal with" - "Ancient and Modern Notes"
