Chapter 144 Chu Fang

When Yan Yan came out of Liu Jing's official house, the sky was already dark, Xie Liang, Wang Chao and the others couldn't wait to go far, they couldn't wait to pay their respects and said solemnly: "Congratulations to Yan Jun for being promoted to the county magistrate."

There was jealousy in everyone's hearts. Seriously, he was just a frustrated jailer in the city prison in the past, so he might not be much better than them.

In the end, his fate was also good. When he met Liu Jing, Bole, he was first a fighting official, and then a hundred stone official. The difference between cloud and mud.

"There is no conclusion yet on this matter, please be careful." Although there is no joy on the serious face, his heart is full of ups and downs. He decided to follow Liu Jing, just to repay his kindness, so he hesitated for a long time. The facts proved that, His decision may be the most correct thing he has ever done in his life.

Xie Liang, Wang Chao and others responded with a "promise" after hearing the words.It is true that this matter has not been written yet, but it is Liu Jing who said this. As one of the most powerful figures in Changsha, is there anything he can't do in Changsha?

Xie Liang was the one who was most happy to see this result, because he was most likely to take the position of supervisor once he left seriously.

He has been working diligently in the city for more than ten years, and his greatest wish in this life is to become a Lord of Baishi, and now this wish is finally coming true.

…………

The next day, Zhang Xian, in the name of the prefect of Changsha, appointed Liu Jingshouling, the chief bookkeeper, as the county magistrate.

What is "keep"? "Hanshu Wang Mang's Biography" records: "Those who lack the county magistrate will guard and concurrently serve for several years."In layman's terms, "Shou" refers to the county magistrate temporarily appointed by the state department and the county government, who have no time to ask the imperial court for instructions.

Generally, those who serve as "shou" county magistrates are people with public office status, such as state officials, county officials, and county officials. Of course, there are also civilians who rise to the sky in one step, but this is a very rare case.

"For those who try to keep it, it is true to try to keep it for one year, and eat its full salary." If it is a "shou" magistrate personally appointed by the imperial court, if there is no mistake during the one-year watch period, it can be turned into "true".

However, a county magistrate like Liu Jing, who is privately guarding the county government, is at a time when the world is in turmoil, and the roads are blocked. It is not surprising that he has not become a regular for several years, or even has no chance to become a regular for a lifetime.

For the time being, Zhang Xian didn't have a favorite candidate for the chief registrant, so according to the past practice, let the chief clerk take over the position of the chief clerk, and then promoted a person from the chief clerk's office to be the new chief scribe.

After Liu Jing and his successor finished handing over, they came to sit and bid farewell to Zhang Xian.

In fact, due to various reasons, Liu Jing can only be regarded as quite satisfactory in the position of chief bookkeeper, neither making any mistakes, nor showing superhuman talents.

However, Zhang Xian still showed great reluctance for his departure, took his hand and talked for a long time, and sent him to the toilet door.

At the final parting, Zhang Xian said: "By the way, Zhong Da, you know Chu Fang and Chu Ziping in Ling County, right?"

"Of course I know. Chu Ziping is famous, and who in Changsha doesn't know?" Liu Jing nodded and replied. As Zhang Xian's chief bookkeeper, he was his chief steward. At the end of the year, Zhang Xian gave Chu Fang a large number of valuable gifts. It was Liu Jing who handled it.According to the person in the chief registry office, since Zhang Xian served as the prefect of Changsha, he has presented Chu Fang with generous gifts every year, which has never been cut off.

To be so valued by Zhang Xian, Chu Fang is extraordinary. He is a legendary figure in Changsha. He was a young knight-errant, although he was poor and humble, but he was heroic. All Changsha knight-errants were proud to know him. He was as famous as Wu Ju at that time.Compared with him, Liu Zong and Ou Xiong can only be regarded as rising stars.

If there were no major changes in Changsha, Chu Fang might only be able to be a ranger for a lifetime with peace of mind. The turning point came during the Ou Xing Rebellion.

Chu Fang felt Ou Xing's misfortune was affecting the village, and by virtue of his prestige, he recruited five or 600 Rangers and Jingmans, and went north to help the new Changsha prefect Sun Jian to fight against Ou Xing. Every time Chu Fang fought, the champion often took the lead.

Later, he went south with Sun Jian to Lingling and Guiyang to crusade against Zhou Dynasty and Guo Shi.

In the sixth year of Zhongping, Dong Zhuo led his troops into Beijing. He was tyrannical and innocent, and the emperor was abolished.

Originally, Chu Fang was supposed to go north with him, but at this moment, his mother went up the mountain to pick vegetables, accidentally fell down from the mountain, broke her legs, was seriously injured, and was once dying.

Chu Fang lost his father since he was a child, but was brought up by his mother alone. He is extremely filial, and immediately asked Sun Jian to return home to take care of his mother.

Sun Jian was extremely reluctant, but filial piety is the most important principle in the world, and he would be ashamed by the world if he prevented others from practicing filial piety. Although he had a free and easy personality, he didn't dare to risk the displeasure of the world, so he could only let him go.

After Chu Fang returned home, he set up a small bed next to his mother's bed. No matter in season, summer, autumn or winter, he never dared to leave the bed, and devoted himself to serving his mother until her mother died five years later. Build a bamboo hut next to the mother's tomb to keep filial piety for her.

Now, eight years have passed since Sun Jian left Changsha. From his early twenties to the end of his life, these were the most precious eight years in Chu Fang's life. He should have fought in the battlefield and made a name for himself, but for his mother, Withered in wards and tombs...

Is it worth it?

Liu Jing was unable to comment, but he could only admire Chu Fang.

Zhang Xian said to Liu Jing: "Chu Ziping's three-year filial piety is coming to an end. After you arrive in Ling County, visit his home for me, and test his mind to see if he is willing to become an official."

"No." Liu Jing replied.To be honest, not only does Zhang Xian want to have a strong general like Chu Fang, but he is also quite tempted. As the saying goes, it is easy to get a thousand soldiers, but hard to find a general. Liu Jing will try anyway, even if he wins from Zhang Xian. Food, also at all costs.

Liu Jing bid farewell to Zhang Xian and returned to the official house, only to see several calf carts parked outside the courtyard, all the items in the house had been loaded into the car, and he could set off only after he gave an order.

In the drizzle, Liu Jing, with a high crown and leather shoes, lingered in the official courtyard for a long time. He lived here for almost twenty months. During these twenty months, after his painstaking planning, he changed from a fighting food official to Become a Bailihou, and finally have a territory of his own in this troubled world.

However, compared with Cao, Liu, and Sun, he was far behind, but the temporary lead was nothing. Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu were all ahead, but they all lost in the end.He still has time to catch up with Cao, Liu, and Sun from behind.

By the time……

Let's see who owns the world in today's domain.

Liu Jing no longer had no attachment, turned around and left.
