Chapter 143

Liu Jing's explanation is also reasonable, but Liu Pan really knows his brother too well. A person with great ambitions will "exile" himself to a remote county of Ling for no reason?Anyway, Liu Pan didn't believe it when he died.

"Zhongda, you are divinely endowed with wisdom and foresight, and all the prophecies in the past have been fulfilled. I have lived for more than 30 years, and I have also served as an official in the court. The world's talented people have seen countless things, but I have never seen anyone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with you." people."

Liu Pan then asked the question that had been pent up in his heart for a long time: "Zhong Da, tell me the truth, are you not optimistic about Fu Jun?"

This time Liu Jing stopped talking about him, nodding his head and said: "Yes, the Fujun will be defeated."

Liu Pan couldn't help but said: "Zhongda, if you can stay and assist the lord..."

"Why should I stay and assist him?" Liu Jing interrupted Liu Pan directly.

Liu Pan stared blankly at Liu Jing, this was the first time he saw Liu Jing's other side, ambitious and sharp...

Or, is this the real him?It's just that it's been hidden under a humble appearance before.

Liu Jing stared straight at Liu Pan, saying word by word: "Brother Cong, we are the eldest son of the Liu family, and we have the ambition to clean up the world and revive the Han Dynasty. How can we live under others for a long time and be driven by others?"

Liu Pan suddenly fell silent. Since when did Liu Jing have this ambition?

Liu Pan thought about it carefully. The year before last, he insisted on going to the market to be an official. There were traces to follow, because at that time, he still did not change his original intention when almost everyone opposed it.

As a result, during his time in the market, he spread grace, established prestige, recruited heroes, gathered goods, built fleets, raised camp soldiers... His rising trend made Zhang Xian and Huan Jie faintly feel uneasy, and had to transfer him away. marketplace.

At this moment, Liu Pan really didn't know whether to be happy or worried. Liu Jing's ambition may make the family prosper, but it may also make the family irreversible.

Liu Pan now handles the affairs of the clan on behalf of his father Liu Yong, just like the head of the clan, so he cannot be careless.

However, thinking about Liu Jing's performance all the time, he can definitely be called as calculating as a god. Since he is determined to go to Ling County, he must have his own plan, so Liu Pan will not say anything more.The only thing he can do is to shelter him from the wind and rain in Linxiang, with a thousand thoughts in his heart, and he can turn it all into one sentence: "Zhongda, encourage..."

Liu Jing came out of the official residence, and before leaving, he looked back at Liu Pan for the last time, and sighed inwardly. Liu Pan's family background, reputation, and talents are all complete, and he may not be inferior to Huan, but he failed to leave a single word in the history books , in addition to early death due to illness, the greatest possibility is that he was buried in Linxiang with Zhang Xian.

Of course Liu Jing didn't want such a thing to happen, so he talked to him so much, but now it seems that the effect is not ideal.

Luckily there is still time, and...

On the way home, county officials, familiar or unfamiliar, continued to salute and congratulate him, regardless of his status, Liu Jing returned the salute one by one.

When I returned to the official house, I found seven or eight people standing outside the door. Except for Liu Liang and Yu Zheng, the rest were mostly from the old department of the market. When they saw him coming back, they all bowed together and said: "Congratulations to Liu Jun, congratulations to Liu Jun, You have to be filial and honest, and you will be the magistrate of the county..."

Liu Jing couldn't help laughing and said, "You guys are well-informed."

Xie Liang took a serious look, saw that he didn't intend to speak, and said: "The news about Liu Jun has already spread in the city, and I naturally heard about it, so we made an appointment to come to Liu Jun after resigning." congratulate."

Liu Jing nodded lightly, then pushed open the courtyard door, motioning everyone to enter the house to talk.

Liu Jing chatted with everyone for a while, and glanced down at the serious man who was sitting upright. Since meeting him, he has always spoken little and his expression is dignified. He seemed to have something on his mind, so he asked, "Why didn't Bomu say a word after entering the door? Something on your mind?"

Seriously raised his head when he heard the words, hesitation disappeared from his ancient and clumsy face, he clasped his fists and said: "I will never forget the kindness of Liu Jun's support and support, and I will never repay you for my constant thinking. Now that I heard that Liu Jun is the magistrate of Ling County, I wish to follow Liu Jun. Go to Ling County."

Liu Jing raised his eyebrows. Although it was unexpected, it was reasonable, and said: "Ling County is more than seven hundred miles away from Linxiang, and it is very inconvenient to travel. My mother was treated by Zhang Zhongjing and she got rid of the sick bed, but her body is still much weaker. I am sick and need someone to take care of me all the time, if you follow me to Ling County..."

Seriously said: ""The Analects of Confucius" says: 'Parents are here, if you don't travel far, you must travel well.' With a wife and brother at home to take care of my mother, I have no worries. Presumably my mother will support my decision when she hears about this. "

Liu Jing couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Since Bomu is determined to abandon his job and leave home and follow me, I should treat him preferentially. When the appointment is made, I will ask the Fujun for orders, and appoint Bomu as the county magistrate to share with me. Go to Ling County."

Compared with the "decoration" of the county magistrate, the status of the county magistrate is much higher, because the duty of the county magistrate is only a vague "hand and guard", and the prefect can be reused or not.

This is not the case for the county magistrate. The salary of the county magistrate is between [-] and [-] shi, while the salary of the county magistrate who is less than [-] households is [-] to [-] shi.

In addition to the duties of the county magistrate, in addition to being "the assistant commander", it is clearly mentioned that "the main prisoner is punished."

The county magistrate is not completely an assistant to the county magistrate, let alone a subordinate relationship. The county magistrate is qualified to independently handle warehouses, prisons and other matters.

Xie Liang's eyes turned red when he heard that, from official to official, commoner or even poor family may need the accumulation of several generations to do it, but for Liu Jing, it is just a sentence.

Surrounded by envy, the seriousness suddenly changed, and he said, "What is Liu Jun's intention? I follow Liu Jun, is it for the sake of official position?"

Liu Jing was a little dumbfounded for a while, not because he boasted, but in Changsha, he was the only one who could tolerate seriousness.

Liu Jing patiently explained: "Ling County is located between the three counties, and there is a lot of turmoil inside and outside. When I go to the post this time, I must install someone close to me. Bo Mu was born as a jailer and is proficient in the law. The county magistrate is in charge of punishment. Prisoner, there's no one better suited to this position than you."

Seriously, he knew that he had overreacted, so he bowed deeply and said, "I ask Mr. Liu to forgive me for my impolite words and deeds."

Liu Jing said with a smile: "Bo Mu is upright and unyielding. This is what I appreciate."

Seriously, he bowed again: "What kind of virtue and ability do I have? Jun Liu looked at me differently and was promoted many times. Now I have been promoted to be a 'chief official'. I really don't know how to repay you."

Liu Jing said slowly: "The situation in Ling County is so complicated that it won't be clear in a short time. If you can help me calm down the inside and outside of Ling County, then I will live up to my expectations of you."

"Promise." Seriously said: "I will live up to Mr. Liu's expectations."
