It has been ten days since Xiao He and the others came to Lingling.

In the past ten days, Xiao He and the children of Li Dan and other courtiers have also learned a little more, although these courtiers' children have a proud backbone, but they are not arrogant, but they are a little one-eyed, so it is easy for people to be distant.

Liu Ji has been like a fish in water during this time.

Although he was not on the invitation list, with the help of his eloquence and cheekiness, he got along with these people, and even in many cases, he could have a place in the face of a 'senior' or 'passer'.

Long sleeves are good at dancing.

It was already twilight, and Liu Ji and Xiao He were enjoying the cool in the courtyard.

Compared with Liu Ji's spring breeze, Xiao He looked a little dull, not because he was snubbed, but because Xiao He had something on his mind.

Liu Ji has known Xiao He for many years, and he can see Xiao He's thoughts at a glance.

He asked, "Xiao He, why are you listless these days?" We come here, and we don't have to worry about political affairs, we still have good food and drink to enjoy every day, such a good life, why are you still depressed? ”

"It's weird!"

Xiao He smiled bitterly, looked at the dusky sky, and said sullenly: "Now is the autumn harvest season, and when the autumn harvest passes, it will be the end of the year, and in the past, it was often the busiest time for political affairs. ”

Xiao He looked worried.

Hear the words.

The corners of Liu Ji's mouth twitched slightly, glanced at Xiao He, and said speechlessly: "You are so boring, you are not in the county now, why do you care so much?" This time, it was not you who took the initiative to evade, but His Highness recruited you over, even if you really did not complete the scheduled work in the future, it has nothing to do with you. ”

"Besides."

"Didn't you give them all the instructions to Cao Shen in advance?"

"I believe that with Cao Shen's ability, he should be able to handle it."

"You don't think about it anymore."

"Since you're already in Lingling, you should enjoy the moment."

"Isn't that pleasant?"

Liu Jigao shouted, full of joy.

Xiao He smiled.

He is not as optimistic as Liu Ji.

He has not forgotten his true position.

He is the chief official of Pei County.

For local officials, the most important thing in a year is to go up, which is not only a summary of the year, but also a vision and goals for the next year.

Liu Ji glanced at Xiao He a few times, shook his head and said, "You obviously can't be idle." ”

Just as Xiao He wanted to explain, a burst of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the courtyard where they lived.

The two subconsciously looked towards the door.

I saw a soap-clothed little official appear in the courtyard quickly, and at the same time sent a message to the two of them.

Your Highness is here!

At this moment, they are being summoned at the county government in Lingling.

Xiao He and Liu Ji were in a daze, and they didn't dare to delay any longer, so they hurriedly tidied up their clothes and walked quickly towards the county office.

They've been waiting for this moment for a long time.

In the past half month, they are full of curiosity about Fusu, and there have been many praises for Fusu in the past, but after all, they have never seen it in person, so they don't really believe it, and they are not hairy boys who are not deeply involved in the world, so they will not really look up to it because of this.

Meantime.

They were also curious about what the prince had summoned them to do, and what he wanted them to do.

When Xiao He and Liu Ji rushed to the county office, the county magistrate, county lieutenant and others of Lingling had already arrived at the county office, and Li Dan, Zheng Ru and others were also respectfully waiting aside, the two bowed slightly to everyone, briefly looked at each other, and did not say anything, found a relatively backward position in the lobby, and sat down like this.

Not much.

Wu Rui, Wu Zhu, Shi Yue and others were also present.

It was quiet throughout.

No one took the initiative to speak.

No one tried to break the silence in the lobby.

They all waited quietly, but their eyes looked out of the hall from time to time.

They didn't wait long.

Soon.

Footsteps rang out from outside the lobby.

The footsteps weren't heavy, they even seemed a little brisk.

Everyone followed the prestige, only to see a man in a black robe, with a gentle smile on his face, although there was a faint smile on his face, but it gave people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant, and people did not dare to be contemptuous.

Seeing the visitor, Shi Yue, Mao Chen and a few other people suddenly widened their eyes, full of disbelief.

The scribe at that time was actually the prince of Great Qin?

This.

How is this possible?

They rubbed their eyes, they really couldn't believe it, but after taking a closer look, they finally had to admit that this person was indeed the original leader's 'Correction Registered History' historian.

Come to think of this.

Shi Yue and the others were terrified in their hearts.

They really didn't take Fusu too seriously at that time.

It's just that he is regarded as an ordinary official, if they knew that Fusu was the prince of Great Qin, how could they dare to make such a mistake?

Several of them were quick-witted people, and after knowing that Fusu was the prince of Great Qin, they immediately reacted, but they were afraid that the few officials who came with Fusu at that time were probably also amazing, and they were even likely to be other sons.

It's no wonder that it was the cattle herder who actually did the registration at that time.

The panic of Shi Yue and the others was not known to others, and at the moment when Fusu entered the main hall, the officials headed by the magistrate of Lingling County directly bowed down and said, "The ministers see Your Highness." ”

The others followed suit.

Fusu bowed slightly.

He sat down on the main seat, his eyes swept calmly to everyone, with a little smile in his eyes, and said slowly: "I have actually been in contact with some officials present, but because of some things at that time, it was inconvenient to identify myself, and please don't mind." ”

Hear the words.

Shi Yue and the others smiled bitterly.

How dare they have the slightest opinion now?

By this time.

They reacted, too.

No wonder they were able to enter the prince's office, and this was the reason for this.

At that time, when Fusu and others traveled in Guanzhong, they actually told them in person, but they didn't care about it at the time, after all, what an official whose official position was not much higher than them said, who would really take it seriously?

The others listened to Fusu's words, and there was a strange color in their eyes.

Li Dan and Zheng Ru's eyes moved slightly.

They glanced around imperceptibly, and when they saw the cramped faces of Shi Yue and the others, they also showed thoughtful expressions.

And they roughly understood what Fusu was talking about.

Fusu didn't say much about this, and said slowly: "You have been coming to Lingling for a while, and I'm afraid you're a little anxious to wait, so I won't gossip, this time I summoned you here, and there is indeed something important for you to deal with." ”

"At that time, it was actually revealed in the order, but there were not many."

"Your ministry is to make relatively prudent arrangements for the transfer of non-commissioned officers in the South China Sea."

"You won't enter Lingnan this time."

"The government is located in Lingling."

said.

Fusu waved his sleeves.

A few small officials who were waiting outside the lobby seemed to have received instructions, and instantly came in with a few stacks of bamboo slips.

Fusu said: "This is the application written by the non-commissioned officer of the South China Sea himself, on it is the non-commissioned officer's own ideas, and there are several volumes of official positions that the imperial court can provide, and you can make reasonable arrangements for the non-commissioned officers in the army based on these bamboo slips." ”

After speaking.

What General Fusu said in the army was said again.

It's just that after listening to what they want to do and what the imperial court is doing in the South China Sea, everyone can't help but be dumbfounded, and even a little dumbfounded, these things are completely beyond their expectations.

Especially when Fu Suyun said lightly, 'give the children of non-commissioned officers the opportunity to enroll in school', 'give non-commissioned officers the qualifications to become officials' and 'give the clan', etc., it made everyone feel a shock in their hearts.

For the shock of the people below, Fusu didn't pay much attention to it.

Don't bother with it.

He said lightly: "It's just the first appointment of the affairs office, and it is also an attempt made by the imperial court, I hope you can do your best." ”

"Fusu bye."

Fusu saluted to everyone below.

Everyone also hurriedly said: "The ministers will strictly obey His Highness's orders." ”

Fusu nodded, and said: "It's not early, I won't say it anymore, these bamboo slips will be left to you for reference, this time the task on your shoulders is very heavy, but the time is still early, I believe that with your ability, you can do this well." ”

After a few words of encouragement, Fusu left.

Leaving the crowd still in shock.

Long.

Someone finally came to their senses.

Looking at the bamboo slips placed in the middle of the lobby, a wry smile appeared on their faces, they are all cunning people, and they have already understood at this moment, they are probably on the thief ship this time, although they are only limited to the army at the moment, but once these things are spread, they will probably face a lot of pressure when they return to the place in the future.

Because what they will do is contrary to their past habits.

Liu Ji also frowned.

After the others left, he approached Xiao He again and said in a condensed voice, "What do you think of what His Highness said?" ”

Xiao He raised his eyebrows and looked around, and said in a low voice: "I feel that this matter is extraordinary, His Royal Highness Fusu is the prince of Great Qin, and everything he does actually implies the will of the Qin court. ”

"Qin is not like the world after all!"

"It's just that I'm a little skeptical about these practices."

"Can it really be implemented?"

"Even if it can be done this time, what about next time?"

"The imperial court probably wants to use this to solve some of the shortcomings of the army, but how can the shortcomings accumulated over the past hundred years be solved so easily?"

Xiao He frowned.

There was a deep incomprehension between his eyebrows.

In addition to being shocked, he was also keenly aware that the loopholes of these ideas were not sustainable at all, and they were only suitable for a small number of people, once the number was large, Qin Ting could not afford it at all.

He can still see it, and it is impossible for the court not to see it.

But why does the imperial court insist on going its own way?

He couldn't figure it out.

Xiao He didn't understand it, but Liu Ji saw some clues, he smiled and said: "What kind of class, Qin is Qin, Zhou is Zhou, Qin is not Zhou, Zhou is not Qin, as long as you distinguish this difference, in fact, everything can be understood." ”

"Zhou and Qin are two kingdoms."

Hear the words.

Xiao He's eyes furrowed.

He looked at Liu Ji and said curiously, "What do you see?" ”

Liu Ji shook his head and said, "How much can I see?" It's just that you have always misunderstood, Qin and Zhou are different, Qin's foundation is the law, and the foundation of strength lies in military merit, and military merit is about everyone striving to be the first, and they will have the opportunity to get ahead, Qin's system is different from the aristocratic system followed by Zhou. ”

"Even the backlash."

"So the two are bound to come into conflict."

"At the moment, His Highness is only beginning to deliberately target the aristocratic system, and at the same time try to build a new system, so the so-called sustainability is not important at all, what matters is whether it can be done, as long as it can be done, it is success."

Xiao He looked puzzled.

He said in a condensed voice: "But if it can't be continued, won't it be abolished halfway?" ”

Liu Ji smiled and said: "That's not necessarily, the Qin court is a centralized court, and the power of the court is very large, as long as the court is willing, it is not easy to vacate some official positions?" But getting the world to accept this point of view is the biggest difficulty. ”

"So Qin Ting chose the army."

"Borrow the army to tempt."

"But this has nothing to do with us, I, Liu Ji, will be promoted to the small people, and I won't be the top when the sky falls, so much can be done, and if Qin Ting's idea can really be implemented, so that more people can read and write, and more people can enter the official career, Qin Ting's control over the world may be far beyond many people's imagination, and it will be supported by the vast majority of people in the world."

"After all."

"There are also many dissatisfied nobles in the world!"

"The lesser of two evils."

Hear the words.

Xiao He was thoughtful.

He said in a condensed voice: "According to what you said, Qin Ting is actually a daughter buying horse bones this time?" Trying to shake the past conformism through these measures? As long as these ideas can be recognized by the people of the world, the Qin court will have enough motivation to do further things, because under the old system, many people have stolen positions, and once the new system is established, the positions that were originally stolen can be relinquished. ”

"One trades off the other."

"Quantity doesn't seem to be an issue."

"The world needs so many people in the first place, but there will be a big change?"

"But wouldn't it be too risky?"

"I don't know." Liu Ji sighed with sighing eyes: "What can we speculate about?" And horse bones? Aren't you conscripted officials horse bones? ”

Liu Ji looked at Xiao He with a smile, and then left humming a little song.

Xiao He was stunned for a moment.

Long.

Xiao He seemed to understand something, a wry smile appeared on his face, and said: "Liu Ji still sees these things clearly, my vision is still too much worse than Liu Ji's, horse bones?" We people are indeed horse bones, as long as His Highness succeeds, we people can directly rise to the top, and then how can we not be praised by the world? ”

"And why isn't this a horse bone?"

"But if it really succeeds, what about being a horse bone?"

Xiao He chuckled lightly and also walked away.
