Chapter 185: The Heart Is As Calm as Water, Like a Lotus Blossom!
Legend has it that when the ancient Dayu ruled the water, the world was divided into Kyushu, the Eastern Han Dynasty still continued this division, and the Western Jin Dynasty continued this division. Among them, Sizhou is located in the east of Yongzhou, south of Bingzhou, north of Jingzhou, west of Yanzhou, the geographical area includes Weishui and the Yellow River junction around, and Yongzhou is divided by the famous Tongguan, the north is the Shangdang area in the territory of Bingzhou, the northwest is bordered by Pingyuan County of Jizhou, the east is Yanzhou Chenliu, the south is close to Jingzhou Xinye County, and the southeast is connected to Xuchang of Yuzhou.
The jurisdiction of Sizhou is equivalent to the central part of present-day Shaanxi, the southwestern part of Shanxi and the western part of Henan. The territory includes Luoyang, Yecheng, Kaifeng and other big cities, and Sima's hometown of Hanoi Wen County also belongs to this state. Sizhou has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, one of the areas with the most wars, the most economically developed area in the Central Plains, and the political, economic and cultural center ruled by the feudal dynasty. The so-called Central Plains, since ancient times, if you can control the realm of this Sizhou, the whole world is within reach.
The whole cold winter has not passed, and the entire territory of Sizhou has begun to be in full swing like the summer territory, and the voices of people are boiling.
The land of Sizhou, where Luoyang is located, is the closest to Luoyang, so this draft starts from Sizhou first, and the officials of the eleven counties in the state also began to be extremely busy.
Yangping County is located in the northeast corner of Sizhou, is the most remote place in Sizhou, although the area of Yangping County can not be compared with Hedong, Pingyang, Shangluo and other large counties, but its population is far more than these counties, there are 7 counties. Since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, Liu Wei, the county guard of Yangping, has experienced several drafts. But the scale of this draft is much larger than before. It's not just the quantity, it's a lot more. There are also countless teenagers who have been drafted.
From the mouths of his relatives who were officials in the capital, Liu Wei already knew that his majesty was working hard to govern the country, and most of the eunuchs and maids in the palace were sent back to their hometowns. It's just that I didn't expect that it was less than half a year, and the emperor began to draft again. And these are so many young people selected, Liu Wei has already guessed that if he enters the palace to replenish the number of eunuchs in the palace. And those girls, although they entered the palace as maids and palace maids, if they were favored by the emperor by chance, they would be sparrows flying on the branches and becoming phoenixes. Moreover, now His Majesty is under His Majesty. is in the prime of life, and the palace maids and concubines are in urgent need, I heard that this time hundreds of people will be rewarded from the show girls for the titles of beauty, lady and other concubines.
"Who said that giving birth to a girl is not as good as a man!" In order to let their daughter fly on the branches and become a phoenix, those dignitaries and nobles in Yangping also became rich and wealthy together. It's all about bribing him heavily. It's just a pity that the age requirement of this show girl is too dead. Only 14-18 years old are required. An unmarried woman who does not have a husband's family. But he has never been like a show man, as long as he is 10-18 years old. Liu Wei thought of the only sons of those big families in Yangping, in order to prevent his son from becoming a eunuch in the palace. Even if the family is bankrupt, it is not unavoidable. Thinking of this, those who want to go and those who don't want to go, no matter what, he has to take the opportunity to make a fortune this time.
"Wait this time, after receiving enough money, I will spend a lot of money to go to the capital to change the Beijing official to do it, buy a big house in the best position in Luoyang City, and buy all the most beautiful dancing girls in Renyi!" Liu Wei thought of such a beautiful thing, and he couldn't help but think about it in his heart.
"My lord, the imperial envoy in charge of the draft has arrived at the post station!" Liu Wei, who was dreaming, was suddenly awakened by his subordinates, and then remembered that today was the day when the imperial envoy came!
"Is the best meal on the custom-made table in Songhe Tower ready?Are the most beautiful girls in the courtyard ready?"
"Lord Hui, I'm already ready!" replied to the Pingyang chief, standing aside.
Liu Wei: "Let me emphasize to their boss again, if there is anything missing, the official will demolish their store!"
"Quick! Lead the horse to the official! The official will personally go to the post house to greet the imperial envoy and pick him up and wash the dust!" Liu Wei then said hurriedly. A moment later, Liu Wei had already galloped out of the Pingyang County Yazhong, followed by a group of officials and soldiers behind him, and went straight to the post station outside the city. Pedestrians on the road and people took refuge.
"Humble officials lead Pingyang County officials to greet Lord Yushi!" Before arriving at the post house, Liu Wei immediately dismounted, trotted all the way, and immediately flattered Shanyuan after seeing it. Liu Wei saw that this imperial envoy was only a weak crown age, but he was dignified, dressed in military uniform, and his martial arts were majestic, and he was really a hero from ancient times.
He has been camping in the officialdom for decades, and he has already practiced extraordinary kung fu of observing words and feelings, and slapping horses and whiskers. He had already seen that the person in front of him was so young, he was able to get the emperor's trust and arrange such a major task, it seems that this person must be the emperor's cronies today, and his future is naturally limitless. If you can build a bridge with such a person and get on the line, I am afraid that the career will be much smoother in the future.
"Lord Liu, please get up!" Shanyuan hurriedly helped Liu Wei up, and politely greeted this Liu Wei.
"Lord Shan, Xia Guan has already prepared tea and washed the dust for the adult!" Liu Wei invited Shanyuan again.
This Niu Ben was originally the original name of Shanyuan, and the code name given to him by Lin Yi after Shanyuan. As Lin Yi's shadow guard, in order to facilitate them to enter and leave the palace, Lin Yi naturally gave them a certain official position, and Lin Yi naturally asked them to use their original names to act on weekdays. However, this official position was just an ordinary military attaché, and until Lin Yi ascended the throne, they were only promoted to Zhonglang General because of their merits.
But because of the filthy affairs of Niu Ben and Empress Jia, according to the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, this is the capital crime of the three clans, although the Zhu clan has been abolished, but this capital crime cannot be escaped. Although Lin Yi secretly saved Niu Ben's life by pretending to be true, the name Niu Ben was no longer available, and later he simply took the code name given by Lin Yi as his name.
Shanyuan, the middle general, is only a fifth grade, and this county guard is at the same level, although he is now in the name of the imperial history, but he is not responsible for the promotion and assessment of officials, so the power in his hands is only afraid that there are not these county guards who sit on one side, and this person is so polite. Shan Yuan had naturally guessed that he was only afraid that he had other plans. But out of courtesy, he happily accepted his invitation.
It was only when he arrived at the Songhe Tower that Shanyuan realized that the so-called tea was so luxurious and sumptuous, and it was even more of a warbler singing and dancing, and several beauties dressed in enchanting and gorgeous clothes had already leaned in listening to their crisp breasts. This man is openly going to bribe him!
"Although we have never met, I have long admired Lord Yangshan wisely!"
"Lord Shanda is young and promising, and he is really a pillar of the country!"
This Liu Wei is really talking, gushing endlessly. If it was an ordinary person, as soon as he came up, he praised him violently, and he was already fluttering, and he was in the clouds. But this Shanyuan did eat him there, and under Lin Yi's ears and eyes, they were no longer the ignorant teenagers they were back then.
The so-called high-ranking officials and wealth, glory and wealth, no longer have any attraction to them, because Lin Yi has already led them onto another broad road, that is, cultivating against the heavens and immortality! Although due to the scarcity of cultivation resources in this world and the thinness of the spiritual energy in this world, they have only just entered this threshold, but the sense of achievement brought by the rapid improvement of their strength is that these so-called gluttonous feasts and red flying green dances in front of them cannot be replaced no matter what!
This Shanyuan's real name is Niu Ben, Hongnong Huayin, born in a poor family, from his grandfather's generation, his whole family is a servant of Taiwei Yang Jun's family. After Jia Nanfeng borrowed the hand of Sima Wei, the king of Chu, to kill this Yang Jun, he razed his three clans, as the servants of Yang Taiwei's family, and it was difficult to escape, only Niu Ben escaped because of his young age. So far, he has been living on the streets, begging for a living, and suffering a lot.
Although this Yang Jun is a monopoly in the imperial court, he is arbitrary. But he is very kind to the slaves in the family, especially Yang Jun's wife, Pang Laodajun, who is a bodhisattva. Although his whole family is Yang Jun's slaves, his life can be regarded as abundant and peaceful. Therefore, he is grateful to the Yang family and is determined to avenge him. is so loyal, and has a deep hatred with Najia Nanfeng, so this was later recruited and reused by Lin Yi.
Because of his wandering life since childhood, he was humiliated, so he was on the same page with corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and he vowed not to stand on the same side. If it was according to his previous temper, he would have been angry on the spot and walked away!
No matter how the outside world changes, keep your heart clear at all times, use wisdom and tolerance to cleanse yourself and others, and promote the purity of yourself and others!" Shanyuan suddenly remembered Lin Yi's teachings at this time, although he felt that they were eating people's fat and people's ointment, but he still kept silent and calmed down.
It seems that His Majesty's worries are right, these magistrates will definitely take the opportunity of the draft to make money, no wonder the people are complaining about this matter, except for this reluctant child, I am afraid that they are all forced by these corrupt officials and corrupt officials.
Greed is an abbreviation for greed and desire, which refers to the desire to covet enjoyment. He is born with a natural physiological state of mind and thinking that is common to all people. He is a kind of thought and intention, people often run around for the trouble of not being able to get it, in a sense, greed is the motivation and pursuit of life.
Greed is still a thing that can be stopped in moderation, and it is a thought that is often restricted and suppressed, so that it will be beneficial to life, otherwise, if its greed is allowed to flood and expand, it is easy to make people lose their minds and go astray.
People have greed, and everyone has it, especially when there are no checks and balances on power.
"I'm the keeper of a county, and I'm not as good as a butcher who sells meat for what I do every year!"
"I am conscientious and conscientious, working for the people for half my life, but I am only a county guard who dies of old age. And that person can rise step by step just because his father is the third prince!"
It was because of this idea that I began to reach out. Therefore, these things must be institutionally prohibited. Fortunately, the Shengshang has already blocked the conditions and number of drafts, and the space for local officials to seek power rents has been greatly reduced......!
