Da Wei Chun

Chapter 242

Don't think that with the word "join the army", you think it is a military officer?

There is also an official in Luoyang named Captain Shuiheng, who is in charge of money, a veritable God of Wealth.

Don't think that Li Shixian once served as a "Chinese soldier participating in the military", and his name is similar to this "Cangcao participating in the military". Then this official should not be low, and he can lead the army?
One is "Zhongbing" and the other is "Cangcao", but the two are thousands of miles away...

This officer seems to be in charge of everything, but he just doesn't care about soldiers:

Examinations for civil servants' honors, envoys, salary, public office, farmland, food, medicine, and office
In charge of cooking meals, cashiers, market transactions, fishing, and grass;
Handling ceremony, warehouse, catering, paying affairs, checking, copying bills of the provincial office, supervising printing, giving paper and pen, trading...

Good guy, to be able to manage so many things, and even control official assessment and salary, sounds like a lot of power?
Big wool.

Li Chengzhi has to think about it first, how many heads, how many hands, how many feet does he have?

With so many responsibilities, if he is divided into ten parts, can he be busy?
This official is a turbid official that can no longer be turbid.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the so-called clean and dirty officials did not refer to whether the officials were corrupt or not, let alone whether they were fair or not.

It has nothing to do with whether it is Wen or Wu.

It just refers to the difference between more work and less work.

The so-called upright officials refer to officials who are idle, less disciplined, and more paid.

On the contrary, it is like entrusting Li Chengzhi to join the military. No matter how hard it is, how hard it is, how tired it is, the donkey pulling the cart for the officials is easier than him.

The only advantage is that there is a lot of oil and water... The reason for "watching" means that you have the guts to be greedy, and you have to be able to live with it...

And it also depends on the level of Cang Cao participating in the military. The lower the level, the heavier the responsibilities, and the less oil and water.

Therefore, this type of official is actually mostly prepared for the children of the common people and poor families.

If you still don't understand, just think about some units, where not only do people have official editors, but they are also relatives of the leader's family.

Not only are you ugly and have no background, you have never even landed, and you are also a contract worker... How dare you be greedy?

Li Chengzhi dares to be greedy, and he can live better, but why is it necessary?
Randomly grabbing those two buckets of glass beads and selling them is more than he spent a year in the military as a storehouse...

For him, there are not too many ways to make money, and it's not that he is arrogant. Li Chengzhi really doesn't care about money.

So this official is worse than chicken ribs to him...

Suspicious in his heart, he looked hard at the token in his hand, trying to figure out which yamen this official belonged to.

Among the 24 dynasties, nothing was more chaotic than the official system during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

The same official name, in different territories and different institutions, can be divided into positions with a difference of two or three ranks.

It's like this warehouse that was entrusted to Li Chengzhi to participate in the military.

If this is a subordinate official belonging to Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, it is estimated to be of the eighth rank.

But if it is a subordinate official of the guarding mansion, then at least one more level must be promoted, that is, from the sixth rank.

It's impossible to think about it.

He had no official or job before, and the court's rewards were definitely not so fast, so this official is equivalent to his starting-up official, so it has nothing to do with whether it is clear or dirty, it only cares about grades.

But even if the five surnames of Cui, Lu, Zheng, Wang, and Li are high-ranking families, and their direct descendants are promoted to officials, there are very few people with eight ranks.

Li Chengcheng glanced at Zhang Jingzhi, then at Xi Kangsheng. Although he thought it was impossible, he still couldn't help asking.

"I take the liberty of this subordinate... Is this official under the restraint of Zhang Sima?"

It means that it is not the one from the sixth grade.

Xi Kangsheng laughed angrily: "Li Chengzhi, what are you dreaming of? You can ask Feng Zhi, how high is he?"

Li Chengzhi's face darkened instantly.

It means that this official is the eighth-rank miscellaneous official who belongs to Jingzhou Governor's Mansion?
And the one that is more tiring than a donkey?
What are you talking about?
Seeing that he was silent, Xi Kangsheng didn't know what he was thinking, so he couldn't help sneering: "Why, do you think the official is too small?"

This is not just a small official problem?
If Zhang Jingzhi hadn't winked at him vigorously, Li Chengzhi could hardly hold back and nodded his head.

Seeing that he was staring at him with scorching eyes without any trace of false color, and he was about to ask questions, Xi Kang was so angry that his toothache: "It's in vain for all my hard work..."

"Idiot... idiot... get out of here... get out..."

Seeing Xi Kangsheng reaching out his hand, as if he was going to grab Xingmu on the case, Li Chengzhi was startled.

I don't say it's inappropriate, why turn your face?

He jumped down like a monkey, and quickly lowered his head.

A piece of gavel grazed his scalp and flew out.

All the bureaucrats below were stunned.

Being an official is the most dignified and dignified, from the ninth-rank Zhima official to the first-rank three and three princes, which one is not serious in speech and smile, and calm in mood and anger?
Xi Kangsheng has been in Guanzhong for several years, how can these officials not know what kind of character he is?

The momentum is like a mountain, the words are harsh, and life and death can be seized...

For another person, I don't know how many whips and sticks I have been beaten, and even my head may be chopped off in court. Would that allow you to rush out like a monkey?

The fool also knows how much Xi Zhenshou loves Li Chengzhi?

The officials who stood near Li Chengzhi and complained about Xi Kangsheng before were already fighting with each other, sweating profusely...

Xi Kangsheng felt very tired.

This is the first time I have encountered this kind of subordinate who never figured out what to do, but still has to worry about Shangguan, thinking of reminding his subordinates all the time?

Thanks to Zhang Jingzhi and Yang Yanrong for exaggerating his unparalleled wisdom?

Blind?
Xi Kangsheng stared at Zhang Jingzhi suspiciously: "Could it be that, just like he was named a county captain before, Li Chengzhi doesn't know what it means to let him join the military in this warehouse?"

Zhang Jingzhi clasped his fists together and said, "Reporting to guard, this subordinate wanted to mention him, but in the past two days, Huaide and his wife have been around Chengzhi all the time, and this subordinate really didn't find a suitable opportunity..."

Always around?

Looks like it hurts, doesn't it?

Seeming to empathize, Xi Kangsheng sighed sadly: "Poor parents all over the world..."

Hearing this sentence, Zhang Jingzhi felt really weird.

Pitiful?
Li Shixian and Guo Yuzhi felt sorry for Li Chengzhi, right?

After thinking about it, he still thought it would be better for Xi Kangsheng to know about Li Chengzhi's current situation.

"I don't know if I'm sorry, but if the official arrives so late, Li Chengzhi will be imprisoned by Li Huaide and his wife in the Li Family Temple..."

Xi Kangsheng flicked his beard: Really hit?

But if you think about it carefully, you really should fight.

Just because Li Chengzhi was greedy for meritorious deeds, the people in his clan were almost exterminated. If he were Li Shixian, even if he was a legitimate son, he would definitely be able to discount Li Chengzhi's legs...

In this era where family law and imperial power are equally important, even the emperor is not comfortable talking about this kind of thing, and Xi Kangsheng naturally has no way to do it.

He snorted again: "Bastard...warn him, if he still dares to pick and choose, he may not be able to beat Li Shixian, the old man will give him a discount on his legs first...

Give him a clear and incomparably clear county lieutenant. He thinks it will make others think that he has made trouble for Hu Baozong, so he doesn't want to do it.

Well, change to a turbid official that can't be thicker than oil and water, is this the head office?

Still not satisfied?

What does he, Li Chengzhi, want to do? Does he want someone like me to let him take care of this guard? "

Although Xi Kangsheng's tone was stern, Zhang Jingzhi was not very afraid, knowing that these were Xi Kangsheng's intimidating words.

He respectfully replied: "Don't worry about guarding, Chengzhi just didn't know what to do, and misunderstood the guard's heart to protect him...Later, the subordinates will definitely explain to him..."

No wonder Xi Kang got angry.

He had planned to let Hu Baozong go up and down secretly, vacating the position of Longdong Commander, and then conferred it on Li Chengzhi.

But Li Chengzhi refused...

I really don't agree.

Of course, Xi Kangsheng relied on his status, no matter how much he admired Li Chengzhi, it was impossible for him to say such words to a younger generation.It was Zhang Jingzhi who persuaded Li Chengzhi after learning of Xi Kangsheng's intentions, but Li Chengzhi refused without hesitation.

After Da Xi knew about it, he went to enlighten Li Chengzhi again, trying to make Li Chengzhi understand: affection belongs to love, and public affairs belong to public affairs. Li Chengzhi didn't snatch this Lieutenant of Longdong from Hu Baozong, so why can't he do it?

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was stunned by Li Chengzhi: Is it possible that someday, you, a fifth-rank middle man, can be replaced by me?

At this point, everyone knew that Li Chengzhi was not pretending to evade.

Daxi admired him so much, otherwise, why would he be scolded desperately, wishing to empty Hu Shichang's private treasury...

At this point, the matter of the county lieutenant was over, and Xi Kangsheng turned to the next best thing, and arranged for Li Chengzhi the current "Cangcao's participation in the army".

The main reason, of course, is that although this official is a dirty official and his rank is not high, he can't stand the leniency of his control, which means that he has included all the places that can benefit from the entire Jingzhou Governor's Mansion.

In addition, Jingzhou is just waiting to be rejuvenated. When the great rule is established, the daily money and food will be spent like flowing water. A low-level official who is usually inconspicuous suddenly becomes very important and hot?
No matter who it is, Xi Kangsheng feels uneasy.

After much deliberation, out of recognition of Li Chengzhi's character, he was chosen.

To put it bluntly, Xi Kangsheng had the idea that no one would be able to eradicate corruption anyway, so it would be better to arrange Li Chengzhi, who is relatively upright, even if he is greedy, he would not be greedy too much.

There is also the intention of asking Li Chengzhi to make up for the expenses of raising troops.

As for Li Chengzhi's idea of ​​letting the Hu family subsidize...

What joke are you telling?

Even if the Anding Hu family didn't know the truth about Hu Shichang's death, Hu Shichang's death meant that a plan would come to naught, and it would be hell if Mr. Hu Hai could cash it out for Li Chengzhi.

It is even more impossible for the imperial court to give this part of the expenditure to Li Chengzhi, at most it will give the Li family more land...

But Li Chengzhi did solve his urgent needs. It is impossible for Xi Kangsheng to pretend to be deaf and dumb in public and private, so he made such an arrangement.

Anyway, for him, it was just a matter of effort.

As soon as the imperial court's edict of awarding rewards arrives, Li Chengzhi should have earned enough. Naturally, he should be knighted and promoted.

But who would have thought that Li Chengzhi was still unwilling to...

It's not that Li Chengzhi doesn't want to be an official, it's just that he doesn't want to be an official who is trapped under Xi Kangsheng's nose.

Not surprisingly, there has been no shift in history, and Xi Kangsheng will soon be relocated to be the governor of Jingzhou and continue to sit in Guanzhong.

Staying under Xi Kangsheng's nose in the future, Li Chengzhi is like a grandson in the palm of Tathagata, no matter how hard he tosses, he can't make any waves.

Therefore, this Longdong county lieutenant cannot be killed.

In fact, what he cared about the most was Captain Xiao Guan, whom Hu Shichang named him before.

The emperor is far away!
Although Xiaoguan is not far from Jingzhou, it is not close, and it is one of the important gates guarding the pass. Naturally, the guards cannot leave lightly. It is even more impossible for Xi Kangsheng to recall Li Chengzhi back to Jingzhou if he has nothing to do. Every now and then, he ran to Xiaoguan to inspect.

Moreover, the guards of the pass have a lot of autonomy. In addition to guarding the pass, they also have to guard the mountain.Such a large section of Longshan Mountain would take a few days to inspect casually.

As long as the arrangements are made properly, a sneak trip to Hexi is completely fine.

Not to mention this, even for the purpose of keeping in touch with Li Song and others, Li Chengzhi would rather be a postman than be trapped in the city of Jingzhou...

……

Li Chengzhi leaned against the wall of the back office sickly, like an eggplant beaten by frost.

He was waiting for Zhang Jingzhi, thinking of asking for advice on what happened today.

With Xi Kangsheng's trust and admiration for him, why should he not be appointed such an official...

Seeing him listless, Yang Shu wanted to laugh more and more.

He thought that Li Chengzhi could really treat fame like dirt.

Hearing the movement, Li Chengzhi looked up and found that Yang Shu and Zhang Jingzhi were coming hand in hand.

Knowing that he was in a bad mood, Yang Shu couldn't help but want to tease him: "It's such a big happy event to be promoted, and you don't even talk about being the host. Treat us to a drink?"

Li Chengzhi sighed softly: "Why did Lord Yanrong come to make fun of this junior?"

As he spoke, he turned his head again and looked at Zhang Jingzhi: "Dare to ask Sima, is there still room for change in this matter?"

"What good things are you thinking of? Do you really think Xi Zhen's order is child's play?"

Yang Shu laughed angrily, "Believe it or not, you can be punished on the spot for a serious crime of disobedience?"

Zhang Jingzhi didn't speak, just shook his head, meaning it was absolutely impossible.

Li Chengzhi frowned and sighed uncontrollably.

Although it is just a stopgap measure, this official will definitely not last long, but he always feels that if he misses this time, once the imperial court rewards the official and seals the reward, he will not be able to make a trip to Hexi in a short time. up.

Could it be that Li Song and the others were really allowed to gallop west of the river?

If you don't take a look and make proper arrangements, Li Chengzhi will be 1 worried...

Thinking of this, Li Chengzhi's thoughts moved slightly.

Zhang Jingzhi should be able to guess what he was worried about, but why didn't he remind himself before Xi Kangsheng wanted to appoint him this official?
Just as he was doubting, he heard Yang Shu laughing again: "Don't worry about the position of Cangcao... Is it me and Feng Zhi who recommended you to the guard?"

Not only is there Yang Shu, but also Zhang Jingzhi?

Li Chengzhi was dumbfounded, and almost asked "why"!
"One is that there is no one under the guard and a certain subordinate, and the other is that although this position is humble, it has great power. It is important to entrust it to others. Xi Zhenshou and the old man are really worried..."

Li Chengzhi pursed his lips secretly.

What are you worried about?
I don't believe that such a big Jingzhou can't elect a few honest and upright officials?

I have to put such a raw talent like me into this kind of big and cumbersome position.

Even if you can't be Captain Xiaoguan, you can get a military position...

He didn't know that Li Chengzhi was thinking this way, otherwise Yang Shufei would give him a slap in the face.

Seeing him getting depressed, Yang Shu felt even more amused: "Don't worry, it's just a stopgap measure... Besides, the old man can still take away your benefits?"

He paused for a while before he spoke, and said in a deep voice: "The left and right old men have to go back to Jingyang first, and entrust the county affairs clearly before taking up the post. I will let you spend a few days at ease, and after the old man turns around, it will not be too late for you to take up the post..."

Happy?

Depressed and almost...

After making some complaints, Li Chengzhi's eyes twitched.

What do you mean?
Listening to this voice, Yang Shu is actually his immediate superior as an official?

Yang Shu was promoted?
Before he had time to ask, Yang Shu raised his hand and arched: "You two, take a step first..."

Immediately, he took the reins from his hand and stepped on the horse.

Everyone walked out for tens of feet, but Li Chengzhi still hadn't come to his senses: "Mr. Yanrong...is he promoted?"

The governor must belong to Xi Kangsheng, so no one else has to think about it.

If you want to be your own superior, there is only one governor left, don't drive Jingzhou.

As for the previous Biejia... Even Hu Shichang has to be accused, let alone the assistant officer?
From the governor down, the main officials in Jingzhou city are all treated as criminals, the only difference is whether they are imprisoned in the mansion like Hu Duo.

But from Longdong Juncheng to Jingzhou Biejia, there are two fourth ranks in between, how did Yang Shu jump so fast?
"That's so fast? Whether he can take a step forward, it is still unknown whether he will be in charge of Longdong County..."

Zhang Jingzhi shook his head, "It's just that there is no one available under Xi Zhenshou for the time being, it's just an expedient measure. Lord Yanrong is only temporarily assigned to the post of Jingzhou, and it depends on how the court decides who will get the post. ..."

It turned out that it was only temporary, just like this Zhima official.

But this is not what Li Chengzhi cares about.

He asked calmly, "When will Lord Yanrong come back?"

If he has enough time, he can completely operate it...

"It's not about promotion, you can leave as soon as you get the official seal? It's about having two offices, so naturally you have to explain clearly to your subordinates and make clear arrangements. It will take more than ten days and a half months at the earliest..."

Halfway through speaking, Zhang Jingzhi looked at Li Chengzhi with deep meaning: "It's just right, take advantage of this leisure time, and you should also deal with the family affairs as soon as possible, so that you can take care of your errands..."

Ten days and a half months?
Li Chengzhi's heart was beating "bang bang bang".

Listen carefully to the second half of Zhang Jingzhi's sentence, obviously hinting at himself.

But I just don't know that the matter between himself and Zhang Jingmo he hinted at is still the matter of the tribe.

Li Chengzhi intuitively felt that it should be the latter...

Just as he was wondering, he heard Zhang Jingzhi say: "Two days ago, the guards knew that Gaoping Town General Yan Ti would be sent to move the Gaoping Town Army out of Xiaoguan, and the government army would be stationed there...

The candidate for captain has not yet been decided, but the guard ordered me to go to inspect it first, so as to determine the approximate number of soldiers, money, food, equipment, etc... I want to set off tomorrow. If you are free, you can go with me, too. Help me to give advice one or two..."

Li Chengzhi was shocked.

This is no longer a hint, but an explicit statement. How could he not hear it?
Zhang Jingzhi not only calculated the time for himself, but even paved the road...

Li Chengzhi took a deep breath, and tried his best to suppress the throbbing in his heart: "The junior must be free, and Sima just needs to let you know when you leave..."

"It's more than four hundred miles from Zhoucheng to Xiaoguan, so I have to leave as soon as possible... At the beginning of tomorrow, you will come to the government office to look for me..."

After replying, Zhang Jingzhi looked at Li Chengzhi again, and said slowly: "There is also the position of Cancao, you really don't have to worry about it... The reason why I recommend you is not only to let you help Lord Yanrong, but also to let you You give me a helping hand, and after more than a month, you can help me exile the rebellious people..."

Where did the rioters come from?
Didn't he have been killed by himself a long time ago?
Seeing that Li Chengzhi seemed to be stunned, Zhang Jingzhi couldn't help but sneered and said, "Could it be that you forgot how many of the '20 people' Liu Huiwang claimed at the beginning of the uprising, how many did you kill?"

Li Chengzhi muttered.

If one hundred thousand were not wiped out, there would be seventy or eighty thousand, right?
Besides, you said it was a "title"...

Just after muttering a few words, he was startled again.

Really?
I fell into a dead end for a while, and even forgot about Liu Huiwang's ambush against Xi Kangsheng?
To be honest, in terms of battle, that battle was even more heroic than under the city of Jingzhou, with nearly [-] troops on both sides...

Correspondingly, Xinping County, Quail County, which were used by the rebels to place ambushes, and Wuzhi, Li Wenxiao's old nest, have all become lost places?

In those places, the people who were either voluntary or coerced, became "traitors" themselves.

The strange thing is that Xi Kangsheng was not murdered like in his previous life, but exiled?

Probably because this rebellion was put down too easily, Xi Kangsheng didn't suffer much, and didn't accumulate so much hostility.

"How many?" Li Chengzhi asked subconsciously.

"Not many, only [-] to [-] people." Zhang Jingzhi replied, "But even if there are few people, they must be placed carefully to avoid resurgence... The original intention of the guards is to exile them all to Hexi...but it depends on how the court decides... ..."

"Where?" Li Chengzhi suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"Hexi?" Zhang Jingzhi asked knowingly, "What's wrong?"

Li Chengzhi stared and opened his mouth, looking at Zhang Jingzhi like a god.

What could be wrong?
Just don't take it too seriously...

He finally understood, what was Zhang Jingzhi's intention of letting him be this "Cangcao participating in the military"?
As long as it is within the territory of Jingzhou, there is no official who does not handle things like money, food, and population.As for how much was confiscated, how much was used, how much should be transported when exiling the rebellious people, and even whether there are any prohibited items that the court strictly prohibits circulation, there are not too many places that can be manipulated.

What's more, it is Zhang Jingzhi who is responsible for escorting and resettling the refugees, and Li Chengzhi must be the one who specifically escorts the supplies. He, Weng and his son-in-law can decide where to transport them at that time...

He really didn't expect that Zhang Jingzhi had not only thought so far and wide, but also realized what he should do long ago, and would pave the road that should be paved openly...

Li Chengzhi's heart was burning with admiration and gratitude, and he wanted to say a word of thanks, but his throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't utter a word.

I always thought that if I stood on the first floor, even if Zhang Jingzhi stood higher, the second floor would be almost the same?
How do you know that you are in the basement, but others are standing on the roof?

This is called moistening things silently...
