Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 800 Who do the nine officials belong to?

When Chen Lin heard this, not only was he not surprised, but he said with joy on his face: "Sure enough, this is the case, and it has been rumored in the city recently, saying that the Fujun won the official title of the imperial court, gained power, opened the mansion and established the teeth, I am about to become a general in the North, so I don’t have to worry about the threat from Wang Jun.”

"Oh? There are already such rumors in the city?" Upon hearing this, Chen Zi guessed that this rumor came from the Secret Intelligence Department, and maybe it was concocted by his old friend Su Liao himself.

"Yes, this rumor has made many people feel at ease." Chen Lin saw his brother's expression and guessed his thoughts. It took him a long time to figure this out, and he couldn't help but admire him secretly, "Originally, the city Many people here are still worried that the general was defeated in Dai County and was unwilling to fight again. Now that he has the power of general granted by the imperial court, of course our prince cannot say He is on an equal footing with General Wang, but the scope of his command has increased, and he also has the name of the imperial court, which I think can make General Wang restrain himself."

"They think too much," Chen Zi shook his head, "Wang Jun is not stable, it doesn't depend on the court, if he really cared about the court's name, he should have stepped down as governor of Youzhou long ago and stayed in Pingzhou with peace of mind."

When Chen Lin heard this, he was terrified, because he couldn't hear the slightest respect for the governor of the two states from his brother's words, and it seemed to reveal a terrifying possibility——

"What does brother mean..." Chen Lin asked cautiously: "Which king...will Wang Jun raise troops to invade?" This question, not to mention him, actually has been suppressed by many people in this generation of counties. In the heart, it is like a curse, no one dares to mention it easily, as if once it is said, the Youzhou army that would not attack originally will attack in an instant, breaking the current peaceful life.

"Many people in the county are well aware of this matter," Chen Zi glanced at his brother, "Actually, there is no need to say more, the lord has already made preparations. After this battle, the commander of the Zhengbei General Mansion, The jurisdiction will expand, and there will be more things to be busy with. If our family wants to make a difference in the future, we must seize this opportunity."

He didn't wait for the brother opposite to express concern, and spoke in a positive tone, as if he had foreseen that Dai Jun would definitely win this battle.

"Now the youngest is following me to supervise the construction of the new city, and when the city is completed, I will probably be in charge there." Chen Zi paused and revealed a piece of news, "According to the master's plan, the new city will be built. Now, I want to write to the imperial court and ask for an order to establish a county as a county. In this way, a county will be added to the jurisdiction of this generation of counties!"

When Chen Lin heard the news, a thought immediately popped into his heart. He even put aside his worries and couldn't help but ask: "Is it possible that the emperor intends to let my brother serve as the county magistrate?" At this thought, his whole body was filled with emotion. They all seemed a little trembling because of excitement.

The head of this county is not a small position, but a high-ranking official of the imperial court. If it is an ordinary territory, the transfer of county magistrates must be reviewed and ordered by the central government. But it is different in the border areas. Not only does the governor have a certain degree of autonomy, but also the governor has a certain degree of autonomy. The prefect can also recommend county magistrates, and there is a high chance that they will be approved.

Not to mention, given the current special situation in Youzhou, it can be said that as long as Chen Zhi is willing to recommend him, it is almost a certainty.

"My lord has revealed this matter to me, but he has this intention," Chen Zi said, and saw the uncontrollable smile on Chen Lin's face, and immediately waved his hand and said: "Don't be so anxious to be happy yet , this matter has not been decided yet.”

"Why can't it be decided?" Chen Lin seemed to have seen through the situation, "Fujun and I are of the same race, and we trust my brother. Since we have raised this matter, there will definitely be no change."

Chen Zi shook his head and said: "Being the head of a county does not rely solely on the trust of the superiors, but also requires qualifications. I used to be just a staff member with no qualifications at all, and I was not on the court's roster. I was suddenly promoted to become a county. Order, there is no justification at all." Chen Lin couldn't help but calm down when he heard this, and felt that his brother's words were very reasonable, so he couldn't help feeling distressed again.

Chen Zi said: "Actually, if I am asked to supervise the construction of the new city now, it is the Lord who is paving the way for it. Therefore, this matter is also very important and requires full dedication. Other thoughts can be less."

Chen Lin also understood and said: "So that's it. When the construction was under construction, the entire city came into existence from scratch. All kinds of people and their relationships from top to bottom had to be sorted out. So I asked you, brother, to work in each of these areas. We have friendships and connections at all levels. Even if he is not the county magistrate in the future, he will still be a key figure in the city. After a little time to settle down, he will be able to appear on the stage, and becoming the county magistrate will be a matter of course. "

"I will definitely not be a county magistrate at first," Chen Zi said and revealed some information, "and the promotion to the county magistrate will not be done immediately. According to the Lord's wishes, it will be operated for a period of time. During this period, I can support He uses other names to manage things in the city." These contents are not sensitive, and many people know it, so there is no need for him to hide it from his brothers.

"That means there is no real name, which is also a trick." Chen Lin breathed a long sigh of relief and already knew the rhythm behind it, "Then this name is the official appointed by the General's Mansion. I heard that the General's Mansion serves as an assistant In the Yamen, the subordinate officials also have grades, I wonder if this is true or not?"

Chen Zi then said: "The Cao Cao has three hundred stones, which can be regarded as the eighth rank. The subordinates and subordinates have two hundred stones, which can be regarded as the ninth rank."

Chen Lin suddenly became excited again: "In this way, the county magistrate in that county will not give in too much. Moreover, if the general's palace is expanded and has more places under its control, it will exceed the actual authority of this level. Being a county magistrate is more than enough!"

After saying this, he couldn't wait to ask again: "I don't know what kind of position the governor will arrange for the elder brother? Although the staff of the general's mansion have to report to the court, it's just a formality. Next, it’s all a matter of the general’s words, and the nine government officials each have their own agents, but there are also distinctions between high and low, apart from the title of Sima in charge, the history of the generals and soldiers of each division is undoubtedly the most important.”

Chen Zi shook his head and said: "I'm supervising the construction of a new city, which is far away by the Sanggan River. I can't stay with you forever. How can I make it last for a long time?"

Chen Lin also said: "The record of joining the army is the record of the army. The chief officials and servants in charge of the government can say good and evil, judge good and bad, and have the ability to advance and retreat as officials and servants. Is it possible?"

After Chen Zi pondered for a while, he shook his head and said, "Such a decision is not conducive to officials sent abroad."

Chen Lin became anxious when he heard this, and couldn't help but said: "Just now I thought that supervising construction outside was a good job, but now I see, wouldn't it be a big loss to stay away from the Lord?"
