Liu He has not been able to clarify his intentions for a long time, even if these subordinates have the lofty ambition of "making a life for the people", they will lose the motivation to follow Liu He one day.

This is not selfishness, but human nature, and there are very few people who can completely get rid of the shackles of fame and fortune.

Liu He thought for a while and asked Dai Zong, "Have you discussed this matter in private?" ”

"The subordinates dare not conceal it, we have indeed discussed, please forgive the sins."

"And how do you think I should go on the road?"

Liu He threw the question back to Dai Zong, who grabbed the reins and parked the carriage on the edge of the official road.

At this time, the carriage was already five or six miles away from the northern city wall of Changyi City, but it was still five or six miles away from the Gongguan.

So this is the most sparsely populated place.

The early spring has passed, everything is renewed, the green plants sprout, the chicks break their shells, everything is full of life, but there is still a trace of the remnant of winter.

Dai Zong's face seemed to have some hesitation, but in an instant, he became resolute and determined.

This powerful and reckless confessor seemed to have made a lot of determination, and suddenly became solemn.

After a few breaths, Dai Zong got out of the car, tidied up the old robe that was a little wrinkled, and then knelt down on the official road and bowed to Liu He.

The kneeling ceremony of the Han Dynasty is a very common etiquette, which does not have the meaning of servile faces and knees in later generations, but has a trace of tragedy and determination.

The crown prince Dan worships Jing Ke is tragic, and Tang Ju worships the king of Qin is decisive.

And Dai Zongbai Liu He, both.

"Your Majesty, we hope that you will go to Chang'an and become the Son of Heaven."

Dai Zong said very directly, without the slightest beating around the bush.

Liu He sat on the seat of the carriage as if he was sitting on the throne, he looked at Dai Zong who was lying on the ground, and said coldly: "Dai Zong, do you know that with this sentence alone, I can teach you to Lieutenant Wang Ji and sentence you to a clan to be killed!" ”

"The subordinates know, but even if they are punished by the clan, I have to say that not only me, but others also think so."

"Whether it's us Lang officials, or other subordinate officials of Changyi Country, or those people in this Changyi Country who don't know that you have helped them, they all have this thought."

Dai Zong said sincerely, and there was a trace of choked up in his voice.

Fortunately, there were no passers-by at this time, otherwise they would have stopped to watch this strange scene in front of them.

"Dai Zong, now your words will not only kill you, but also put me in a situation from which I will never recover."

"The subordinates know, and ask Your Highness for forgiveness."

Liu He jumped out of the car and helped Dai Zong up.

"I also have the good heart of my heart, although I have not regretted it even though I have died nine times."

This sentence is Qu Zi's heartfelt words to express his loyalty and patriotism in "Lisao".

Liu He said this sentence under this situation, not only to dissect his ambitions, but also to exhort Dai Zong.

"Lisao" is not a Confucian classic, but it is a must-read for Confucian students.

Dai Zong immediately understood what Liu He meant when he said this.

"Under the ......"

"If you talk about this matter again and relay to them what I said today, they will be able to understand it."

"Needless to say, everything is just as usual, and don't let anyone else see it."

"No."

Liu He looked to the northwest and saw a high mountain in the distance.

He knew that behind the mountains there were rivers and rivers, plains and canyons, and a city called Chang'an.

Even an insignificant person like Dai Zong felt a different breath, and it seemed that the world was really going to change.

"It's windy, let's go."

"Yui!"

After a bumpy road, Liu He and Dai Zong finally arrived at the Gongguan of Changyi State with a carriage.

In the counties of the Han Dynasty, in addition to the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Lieutenant's Mansion, there were many opposing government offices.

The biggest difference between these offices and Zhu Cao is that they are relatively independent and are in charge of each relatively independent specific matter.

From the perspective of subordination, these government offices can be divided into two categories, one is directly under the supervision of the Central Imperial Court Jiuqing, and the other is under the control of the Prime Minister's Office to act independently.

The first category includes iron officials in charge of ironmaking and metallurgy, salt officials in charge of boiling salt and selling salt, and officials in charge of leveling down priceless equalization.

The second category includes the Confucian temple in charge of the worship of holes, the engineer in charge of palace construction and utensils manufacturing, and the warehouse official in charge of storage and preservation.

These offices not only exist in the prefectures, but also have corresponding offices in the counties.

Therefore, the management of Dahan from county to county is divided into two lines.

One is the administrative management system led by the county governor, and the other is the business management system led by the other government offices.

The officers of these offices are of similar rank, but the number of personnel under their management is very different. Some offices have only a few people, while others have hundreds.

And Liu He: The number of people in the public office they just arrived at was as many as hundreds, and it was the largest number of people in the official office except for the iron officials and the salt officials.

Because of the large number of people in charge and the need for a wide field for the affairs under its jurisdiction, the Changyi State Workers Office was set up outside the city.

The area of this entire Gongguan Office is very large, more than one mile long from north to south, more than half a mile wide from east to west, covering an area of 240 acres, which is almost as big as half of Changyi City.

However, most of them are the places where craftsmen work, and the courtyard that is really reserved for the workers is not particularly large, and it is just a courtyard with two entrances and two exits.

The various utensils manufactured by the Public Works Department are not priceless, but they are also sought-after goods that can be circulated in the market.

In order to prevent theft, the Public Works Office is surrounded by a wall more than three meters high, and there are patrols on the city wall, like a small city.

Although Dai Zong was a frequent visitor to the Ministry of Public Works, the carriage was stopped at the door as a routine inspection.

A chief in his early thirties walked to the carriage with a few soldiers and made a salute to Dai Zong.

"Shi Changwang Axe asked Dai to make Jun An."

"No courtesy."

These pavilion guards were all people recruited from the Changyi Kingdom, and their service cycle was one year.

According to the Han Dynasty, men between the ages of 23 and 56 were required to serve three years of military service.

However, these three years do not need to be taken all at once, but can be divided into three doses, one for one year.

And the location and duties of these three years of service are also slightly different.

Those who are strong and strong will be singled out to serve as officers, knights, light chariots, and building boats, which belong to the field army, and remain in their own country to serve, that is, county soldiers.

After the county soldiers finished their service, they could immediately go to Chang'an to serve as a guard, or they could go to Chang'an again after a period of time.

As for the people who were selected and left, they were all kinds of pawns, such as the pavilion guards who were responsible for security and garrison duties and the soldiers who went to the border counties to guard them. Of course, there are also many "pawns" who undertake different miscellaneous tasks in the government office.

In addition to these two years of military service, they also spend one month a year serving the country.

Wang Axe, who is nearly forty years old, is already serving in the military for the second time, and the last time he went to Yuyang County, this time he is older, so he stayed in his country.

Because of his previous service experience, he was appointed as the chief of the ten pavilions, and was responsible for guarding the gates of the Workers' Office.

"Dai Envoy, routine inspection, don't be surprised."

"This is your duty, and there is no need for courtesy."

Wang Axe walked to the carriage, lifted the curtain, and saw Liu He, whose face was covered by a hat.
