In the lobby of the Ganzhou Mansion, Fang Chongyong looked at the eunuch who came to deliver the decree with a strange expression, and he didn't understand what this guy was doing here.

When he was awarded the history of the assassin of Ganzhou before, it was normal for a eunuch to come to pass the decree, because Ganzhou was Zhongzhou, and the official rank of the assassin was on the fourth grade. Those who are above the sixth rank must be appointed by the emperor himself, and the appointment is invalid if the appointment is not issued by holy decree.

But now Fang Chongyong knows very well what he has done, this official transfer is 100% a demotion of officials!

Degrade officials, isn't it good to do it casually, do you still need to send someone from the palace to go all the way from Chang'an to Ganzhou, more than a thousand miles?

Really not too much trouble?

"Envoy Fang, your holy family is really incomparable. In Xia Niu Xiantong, the inner servant of the provincial eunuch said, and greeted Fang Envoy. ”

The middle-aged eunuch named Niu Xiantong said quietly, and quietly stretched out his hand to Fang Chongyong.

If you don't get the red envelope, you won't be able to save your life. The eunuchs in the Kaiyuan period, when they were released to spread the decree, it was the norm to eat and take cards.

If the local officials don't serve well, they will wait to be worn to death in small shoes!

"Uh, are you related to Niu Cyclamen Niu Shangshu?"

Fang Chongyong looked at Niu Xiantong and asked in a slightly frivolous tone. Turning a blind eye to the hand stretched out by Niu Xiantong.

"Uh...... This, it should be one for hundreds of years, haha, hahahaha. ”

Niu Xiantong said with a stiff face, and quietly stretched out his hand back, so embarrassed that he wanted to turn around and leave immediately!

"Since it's okay...... That's fine, let's announce the holy decree of the cow servant. ”

Fang Chongyong didn't want to say anything more to this Niu Xiantong who obviously wanted to get close, he had read a strange book in his previous life, which happened to record how this Niu Xiantong eunuch died.

This unlucky eunuch seems to have angered Brother Ji because of something, and then Brother Ji ordered it to be dealt with strictly.

So Niu Xiantong was first beaten with hundreds of sticks, then his heart was gouged out, and finally he was eaten alive by an old eunuch named Yang Simiao, who had outstanding military achievements!

This kind of restrictive plot shouldn't appear in history books, and Zhiwei is its destination.

The eunuch Chongyong of the Tang Dynasty basically knew about Gao Lishi's people, but this Niu Xiantong, who had a tragic end, made people forget it, and it was too much "performance art" to die.

Fang Chongyong didn't want to have anything to do with this unlucky guy.

"Go to Ganzhou to assassinate the history, move the Rites Department of the ancestral hall secretary Wailang, go to Shazhou on business. In addition, he was awarded the training envoy of the Shazhou regiment, the envoy of the Doulu army, and the resident medicine spring, so he did not have to go to the small town of Shazhou to run errands. ”

Niu Xiantong's male duck voice read the holy decree, and Fang Chongyong looked confused when he heard it.

There were so many slots that he didn't know where to start.

As a "scholar" who studies hard and reads every day, Fang Chongyong has already figured out those things in the Tang officialdom inside and out.

I don't know who came up with this official appointment without great virtue.

It's almost the same as stacking buffs, it's just off the charts! Fang Chongyong wanted to ask face-to-face which great god could knead these three "waste" official positions together, and it seemed that there was no disobedience.

The Ancestral Department of the Ministry of Rites is dedicated to the management of Buddhist temples, and giving monks a degree or something is a daily affair. Presiding over events such as national-level Buddhist celebrations is also within its jurisdiction.

Wai Lang is the second-in-command of the ancestral department, and he seems to have a bit of power.

However, the power of the central department can only play a role if the incumbent officials return to the yamen! The central officials in the field don't even have the seal of the yamen!

Fish that are out of the water can't swim a single step, and this phenomenon is also applicable to Datang officialdom.

Dispatching a central official to Dunhuang, two thousand miles away, and managing the cause of Buddhism, Fang Chongyong could guess with his toes that this was a business trip to repair the "Monument of Merit" for Ji Ge!

Of course, the specific work is not to repair, but to "star"! In other words, there is no need to do anything, and the person who is really responsible for the progress of the project is the relevant officials of the Ministry of Industry.

For example, the Leshan Giant Buddha built in the Kaiyuan period, the imperial court arranged a special person to supervise, and similar things are not alone.

There are countless stone Buddhas built on the mountain in Dunhuang, which are unique since the beginning of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang are famous all over the world. Wailang, a member of the ancestral hall, went there on business, and to put it bluntly, he traveled at public expense. Just look at the Buddha murals that have been repaired, and they don't meet the "main theme" required by Ji Ge.

If it doesn't meet the requirements, it needs to be rectified or even redone. These things were stared at by Wai Lang, a member of the Ancestral Department of the Ministry of Rites.

To put it simply, you don't have to do anything, but you have to carry it if something happens.

If you can bury a pit here, it must be a super old coin!

Fang Chongyong scolded Brother Ji for being shameless in his heart.

As for the Shazhou regimental training envoy, it is easy to say that the regimental training envoy is responsible for training united soldiers, but he has no military power, cannot mobilize the army, and cannot recruit soldiers.

However, there is one intriguing point: because of the shortage of food in Shazhou, the Doulu Army in Shazhou has been strictly controlling the soldiers, and the shortage will be made up immediately. The proportion of the local agricultural population is much lower than that of other states in the Hexi Corridor, and there are many full-time workers who are suitable for military service.

Fang Chongyong was the assassin of Ganzhou before, and he approved a lot of official documents, all of which were used to transfer grain to Shazhou.

Therefore, there is no surplus grain in Shazhou to support the half-productive unity soldiers, and there is no need to raise the unity soldiers because the local people are strong.

This position can probably only coax children in Shazhou, and nothing can be done.

And the most cheating position is the Doulu Army Branch.

Because among the armies in Hexi, only the Chishui Army, which has 30,000 soldiers, has a separate branch envoy and has some financial independence. And the Doulu Army, which has only 4,300 soldiers, has not set up the position of "branch envoy" at all before!

This matter is also very understandable, a person with a property of 10 billion must find a "financial assistant" to help manage the money, and if there is only 10,000 yuan, it is better to worry more about his future livelihood!

The Doulu Army, which has no more than 5,000 soldiers, has much less logistical pressure than the Chishui Army, so of course there is no need to set up a special post of "branch envoy".

There is a branch envoy under the Liangzhou Jiedu Mansion, who is responsible for the financial expenditure of the various armies under his command.

In other words, this position of "Doulu Army Branch Envoy" was "invented" by the imperial court recently, and Fang Yanei was the first branch envoy of the Doulu Army...... Most likely, it will be the last.

Therefore, there is no reference at all for those who hold this official position to do what they need to do, what they can do, and what they should do, and there is no clear statement at all.

If Fang Chongyong was willing, it didn't matter if he didn't do anything, because the inherent system between the Hexi Jiedu Mansion and the Doulu Army itself was running smoothly, and similar official positions were not in the "Tang Liudian" that Li Linfu was still compiling at the moment.

The three official positions that are sprinkled with joy look very bluffing. However, after careful analysis, it turns out that ...... It doesn't seem like you have to do anything.

Fang Chongyong took the holy decree with expressionless hands, waved his hand impatiently and said, "The cow waiter can go back to his life." ”

He doesn't even bother to be polite to the other party now.

Seeing that Fang Chongyong was so uninteresting, Niu Xiantong really wanted to flick his sleeves and flash. But he couldn't do anything about it, so he could only hold back the evil anger in his heart, and said to Fang Chongyong with bad words: "The sage still has a handwritten letter to the envoy...... Oh, now it's not an envoy, it's an outsider. ”

He reluctantly took out a letter from his cuff, and secretly scolded Fang Chongyong, a hairy child, for not knowing etiquette.

According to the "normal" situation, Fang Chongyong should have flattered him with kind words, and then offered "running money". Then Niu Xiantong "exchanged gifts" and sent the saint's handwritten letter to Fang Chongyong.

That's how the routine should go!

Niu Xiantong didn't understand what Fang Chongyong was thinking, and he couldn't understand why the other party was not happy at all when he became a Beijing official, anyway, it was wrong for the other party not to please him, and when he returned to Chang'an, there was this good-looking one!

He was secretly ruthless in his heart, but it was the other party's forked hand that was brave and smiling, and then turned around and left, leaving the Ganzhou Mansion.

Holding this holy decree with complex content and profound routines, Fang Chongyong looked at it again and again, and suddenly remembered what Niu Xiantong called himself just now.

Now he is no longer Fang Yuanjun, but Fang Yuan!

With those rich and big-bellied "outsiders" in the TV series in his previous life appearing in his mind, Fang Chongyong felt a little subtle.

seems to have entered the bizarre and strange circle of Tang officialdom, and has become an indescribable alternative in this circle.

"Envoy, this ......"

Yan Zhuang came over with a wry smile and asked, now the Ganzhou Mansion basically knows about Fang Chongyong's transfer.

Officials in the Tang Dynasty generally served a four-year term, and after four years, they rotated to wait for the election of officials. The waiting time can be long or short, the long can be decades, and the short one will take office immediately. But it is really rare for people like Fang Chongyong to be transferred frequently.

It is enough to see that the future is promising.

According to Bai Juyi's later complaints in the history books, if the Tang officials did not rotate more than 20 times, they would be embarrassed to say that they were "prosperous in official luck". After rotating three or four times in a lifetime, there is no sound, and there are many people in the officialdom Luthor who have been waiting for decades in the future.

Changing official positions and being diligent is not only not unlucky, but a symbol of great potential.

"Once I've established myself over there, I'll find a way to dispatch you. Or will you resign now and go with me as one of my subordinates? ”

Fang Chongyong pulled Yan Zhuang aside and asked.

"Of course, it's with the envoy...... Outside the staff together! Whoever wants to do it, this bird county lieutenant can do it! ”

Yan Zhuang gritted his teeth and said.

Hearing this, Fang Chongyong was a little surprised, and then he was relieved after thinking about it.

The county lieutenant is usually the first official position of a person who is not willing, and does not have a background in the imperial examination. But anyone who has a little backstage is reluctant to go, let alone Jinshi.

This official position can be summed up as: power is a small matter, and there is a lot of trouble!

Although the "theoretical" functions are mainly judicial arrests, trial of cases, judgment documents, collection of taxes, etc., in fact, the affairs of sesame mung beans in the county are under the control of the county governor. For example, here in Zhangye County, if you want to communicate with the city outside Zhangye City, can you make a county order? It must be the county lieutenant who went to official business, and if he can't do official business, he will think of another way later!

This is the low-level existence of the "entry officials", and Yan Zhuang is actually not uncommon at all.

can be an "unpopular" adjutant officer by Fang Chongyong's side, to put it bluntly, he is a character similar to his master, but he has a system, but Fang Chongyong gave him a fortune.

"In addition to the Fang Yuan, the central officials who go to remote places generally have their own cooks, dancers, medical officers, wings, and guards. Why don't you invite some people in Ganzhou? ”

Yan Zhuang asked in a low voice.

Fang Chongyong was stunned for a moment, and then secretly thought:

Fang Dafu can cook, he is a cook, and he is a guard along with Ah Duan.

Anaye was born in a family of full-fledged medical officers, understands medical skills, and is a descendant of the Hu Nu of the Western Regions, so she can barely be regarded as a medical officer and a dancer.

Yan Zhuang is a subordinate to deal with some daily small affairs, and there is Fang Laique, the "holy son" of Buddhism, by his side.

Although this lineup is a little low, it is quite neat.

"No need, there are too many people and trouble, and now the people around me are trustworthy. If you really need manpower, we'll talk about it later. ”

Fang Chongyong waved his hand and said helplessly.

All the way to the east became all the way to the west. Dunhuang is the last stop that the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses can completely control, and it seems that there is a vast Western Regions further west, but in fact, Dunhuang is the edge of the continuous projection of the Tang Dynasty's power.

Further west, whether it is the national strength or military strength of the Tang Dynasty, it cannot be exhaustive, and there are loopholes everywhere.

The arrangement that Brother Ji gave him was really ...... It's subtle.

"Dog X, it's almost winter and I'm rushing in the desert, Brother Ji really doesn't accumulate virtue on weekdays!"

When he walked out of the gate of the mansion, Fang Chongyong felt the chill in the wind, and couldn't help but scold. If you can't reach Shazhou on time, it will be a lot of trouble.

And rushing in the desert in winter can make people feel so sour that they have convulsions. Fang Chongyong, who had a bad experience in his previous life, really didn't want to go to Shazhou in the winter against the wind and snow.

……

The nine surnames Tiele gradually formed during the period of Turkic dominance, and submitted to the Turks, maintaining the independence of their own tribes.

This is the organizational model of the steppe empire, which cannot maintain a large establishment, and can only form large tribes with small tribes, and form an "empire" from one level to the next.

The nine surnames Tiele gradually formed Hui Hui, Fugu, Tongluo, Baye (also) Gu, Sijie, Qibi, Hun, Ba Ximi, Ge Lulu, etc., where the "nine" is actually not a fixed number, but the meaning of many.

During the Kaiyuan period, the Hui Hui was the most powerful among the nine surnamed Tiele.

In the autumn of the twenty-seventh year of Kaiyuan, under the planning of Fang Youde, the envoy of Youzhou Jiedu, Li Longji issued a secret decree to form an alliance with the nine surnamed Tiele, and according to Fang Youde's policy, the grassland was divided into nine pieces of different sizes.

After agreeing to destroy the Turks and divide up their territories, the tribes moved according to the pre-agreed territory.

As for any contradictions to be discussed in the future, they can be discussed again. The extermination of the Turks was made the most urgent event.

The ancient tribe of Baye, which bordered the border of the Tang Dynasty, took the lead in attacking, and the Qibi, Fugu, and Qarlu tribes also raised troops in turn to attack the Turkic tent.

The party at the mouth of the garrison was virtuous and did not move, but only ordered Shuo Fang Jiedu to provide grain.

The Hui tribes, who had been observing this chaos, finally couldn't hold back and went south to attack the tent of the Later Turkic Khanate. Marked by the entry of Hui Hui, the northern grassland of the Tang Dynasty has once again entered the era of chaos!

The Turks were in great confusion and hurriedly withdrew their troops from Xiakou Mountain, north of Hexi, but it was too late.

When they returned to the Turkic tent, they happened to encounter the Hui cavalry who had not caught anything because they had ended up late.

A fierce battle broke out between the two sides near the monument of the Viga Khan, north of the tent of the Turkic Khanate! The Turks were defeated and defeated by the Hui cavalry!

Since then, the Turkic Khanate has fallen and been replaced by nine surnamed Tiele. At this time, Fang Youde was taking five thousand elite cavalry to the Tiele Division, leading the troops to show the military might, and everywhere he went, he asked the chiefs of the department to go to Lingzhou, where the Shuofang Army was stationed, for a meeting, waiting for the Tang Emperor Li Longji to meet!

I have to say that this scene is quite ironic.

Because in the twenty-third year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, in order to concentrate on dealing with Tibet, the relationship between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty improved, and the Turkic Viga Khan respected Tang Xuanzong as his father. So a monument to the Vinga Khan was erected near the tent. The inscriptions contain a great deal of record (and boasting) of the "great deeds" of Vigha Khan.

For example, which Tiele was killed today, and tomorrow he beat the Khitans or something, and even the looting of the Shandan Horse Farm at the beginning of the Kaiyuan Dynasty is recorded.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for him to be poisoned, and the later Turkic Khanate was also torn apart and finally perished.
