Crossing straight to the blue sky

Chapter 716 Meet the Lord
Changping County
Zhou Xiaoxi and his army were just outside the city gate, looking at the devastated city wall, they grinned.

The gate of the city, which had been closed for several months, opened wide at this time. Jiang Yunsheng, along with the surviving soldiers and horses and a group of county government officials, respectfully greeted the army outside at the gate of the city.

"My subordinate, Jiang Yunsheng, leads the officials of Changping County and the people of the whole city to welcome the general!"

Jiang Yunsheng raised his hands together, stretched forward, bent over to salute, with his head at a right angle to the ground at ninety degrees.All the officials behind him saluted, and thanked them with this high standard salute.

Zhou Xiaoxi: "..."

Dajun: "..."

They have never been upright, even Master Qing looks like a ghost, it is very uncomfortable to be thanked so sincerely unexpectedly.

In such a scene, Master Qing never changed his face, and accepted the gift openly, Zhou Xiaoxi couldn't do it, he was a little flustered, he immediately got off the horse, and went forward to give him a little help.

"You are the magistrate of Changping County, Mr. Jiang! Please, Mr. Jiang, quickly."

Jiang Yunsheng stood up and looked at the person in front of him. He was so tall and strong, he didn't look like a frail scholar. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart, is this person Shangguan?
"The lower official is Jiang Yunsheng, I don't know the general is the upper official..."

"I'm not Lord Qing, I'm Zhou Xiaoxi," Zhou Xiaoxi was full of black lines, wishing to beat himself to death, and called out again, "Our lord has personally led the troops to Hongye Ridge, and news will come back soon. Mr. Jiang, Please!"

"General Zhou please!"

Jiang Yunsheng took two steps back sideways, letting General Zhou and the others pass first.Jiang Yunsheng, who then followed, was very worried. Although General Zhou changed his words quickly, he was very sure and sure that he really heard it.

Master Qing? !
General Zhou called Lord Shangguan "Qing Ye", and the title "Qing Ye" is not an official of the imperial court. It's very Jianghu!
After entering the city, the army did not follow Zhou Xiaoxi and the others to the yamen, but took the initiative to go up the city wall and took over the security of the county town, without being asked to take the initiative to help the people in the city to carry the wounded to treatment.

The people in Changping County were all taken aback when they saw how skillful their movements were.However, this move by the army freed the people of Changping County from their previous nervousness, and now they feel a lot more at ease.

The military and civilians work together, and the efficiency is greatly improved.

Helping to carry the wounded and helping to repair houses and streets made the people in the county feel embarrassed. No one cried about their misery anymore, and they all came to help.

In the yamen, Jiang Yunsheng inquired about Mr. Shangguan's affairs, Zhou Xiaoxi said what he could say, and didn't say anything he couldn't.

In the evening, Jiang Yunsheng wanted to entertain Zhou Xiaoxi and his generals in the restaurant, but Zhou Xiaoxi and the others resolutely refused.

"They're all from my own family. Master Jiang doesn't need to be so polite. You just wiped out the rebels, and there are still many things in the city that you need to be busy with. Just go to the barracks and eat."

Leave when you're done.

"This... General Zhou, you saved our Changping. You are the benefactors of our Changping County. I can still afford a meal." Jiang Yunsheng chased and persuaded him all the way, followed by several officials.

Zhou Xiaoxi saw that they didn't eat, and Jiang Yunsheng and the others seemed very disturbed, so he agreed after thinking about it.

"Don't make it so complicated, home-cooked food is fine. Our army is strictly disciplined, and we are not allowed to take things from the common people at will. Let's make an exception today." Zhou Xiaoxi explained.

It's better to explain some things clearly, so as not to make them feel uneasy.

Just about to start eating, the spies came back and saw Zhou Xiaoxi grinning and said: "Good news, good news, Lord Qing and the others wiped out the rebels in Hongye Ridge, and they are coming back with food."

"Master Qing is back? So fast!" Zhou Xiaoxi was so happy that he dropped his chopsticks, got up and walked out immediately.

Hongye Ridge's insurgents are all wiped out?

It's all gone!

Jiang Yunsheng and the other officials felt like they were dreaming, in a trance that was unbelievable.The rebel army had tens of thousands of people, and they had all seen with their own eyes how ferocious those bandits were, how much they had suffered at the hands of the rebel army, how many soldiers, officers, soldiers and civilians had been sacrificed, and the city was almost destroyed.

The rebel army is their nightmare, like a mountain pressing on their heads.Now, what they heard, the rebel army of tens of thousands was wiped out by Lord Shangguan's army.

Jiang Yunsheng and other officials burst into tears.

Hearing that the Lord Shangguan that General Zhou was talking about was coming, Jiang Yunsheng and the others immediately followed, and they couldn't neglect their savior.

"Master Qing"

"Master Qing"

Zhou Xiaoxi and the others had just rushed to the gate of the city, just as the army had just arrived at the gate, and the masked person in the front of the army was Qingyun.

The soldiers under the city gate on the city wall saw Qingyun coming and saluted one after another. Qingyun waved his hands, and all the soldiers returned to their posts.

Zhou Xiaoxi came straight to Qingyun, smiled innocently at Qingyun, then took the rein from Qingyun's hand, and led Zhuiyue to walk beside him.

Zhuiyue snorted, the boss didn't want to be touched by anyone other than Qingyun, Zhou Xiaoxi smiled flatteringly at it, but it was a pity that Zhuiyue didn't show face, so Qingyun patted it, and then Chayue fell silent Condescending, he let Zhou Xiaoxi lead him aggrievedly.

"Master Qing, he is Jiang Yunsheng, the magistrate of Changping County."

"My subordinate Jiang Yunsheng pays his respects to the lord!"

Jiang Yunsheng saw the masked man at the front of the army from a distance. Among the reckless men, this man was rather weak, but also quite dazzling, attracting everyone's attention like a ray of light.

I was still thinking about who this person was, but when I saw General Zhou running over to lead the horse for this person himself, I already had a guess in my heart, and when he came to him, I immediately lifted my robe and knelt down.

This is a thigh, such a thick golden thigh must be hugged!

Seeing the county magistrate kneel down, the officials behind him also knelt down and shouted: 'Meet the Lord'.

Obviously I don't know why the adults do this, but if the adults see farther than them, it is right to follow the adults.

Zhou Xiaoxi, Hong Xingwu and the army were very satisfied when they heard that they called Lord Qing 'Lord', and murmured in their hearts, it's fine if they want to call 'Lord' in the future, it's much nicer and more elegant than Master Qing.

Qingyun looked at him for a few minutes, then raised his eyebrows and smiled, "A good bird chooses a tree to live in, Jiang Yunsheng, you are very discerning. I appreciate what you have done in Changping County.

Let me tell you the truth, the reason why I came to save you is because you have worked so hard for the people these years. I like honest and kind people who have a bottom line.In other words, you saved yourself.I am optimistic about you and continue to maintain your original intention of being an official. "

Qingyun jumped off the horse, took off the mask and threw it to Hong Xingwu, waving his hands, "Get up! I don't have so many rules here, just do things well. Changping County is well managed by you, continue to manage it!"

Even if she wants to take over, she can't do anything, she has no one!

Jiang Yunsheng and the others got up and looked at the freshly baked lord. They were surprised to see his face so young. With his frail body and fair face, he looked like a scholar no matter what.

His feeling just now was not wrong, Mr. Shangguan is just a scholar.

Seeing how the army and several generals respected him from the bottom of their hearts, it was really hard to imagine how he could be convincing in the army.

Military generals are no better than civil servants. As long as civil servants are scheming, good at dancing, vain and obedient, or flattering, the future will not be too bad.

Generals must not only be good at martial arts, but also be able to fight in order to gain a firm foothold in the army.It will take at least seven or eight years for someone with no background to climb up step by step from the bottom.

Judging by the face of the lord, he is less than twenty, so he can't be in the army at the age of eleven or twelve, right?

"The army is resting outside the city! A batch of food was seized during the extermination of the rebels. Mr. Jiang, you can make room and send half of the food to you for emergencies!"

Surprise hit his head again, Jiang Yunsheng was dizzy, there was no food in the city, and he was worrying about it, this batch of food came in time.Rebels, no, after the rebels attacked the city, who cares about the grain in the field, the grain shop is out of rice, and there is no way to transfer it from other places, people can’t go out of the city, and the people have nowhere to buy it purchase.

The little official in charge of detaining the grain was nearby. Hearing Master Qing's words, he went to Jiang Yunsheng to explain the matter.

Jiang Yunsheng called Master Bo and the others to go get food with the little official. He continued to follow the master and reported to him the various tasks in the county.

Qingyun nodded as he listened, feeling ashamed in his heart, listening to how she became the county magistrate, and seeing how she became the county magistrate, he didn't know what he didn't know.

Qing Yun smacked his lips, "Don't call me Lord in the future, just call me Sir like them, Master Qing is also fine."

The lofty title of 'Lord' puts a lot of pressure on her!

"I'm a rough person and I'm not good at governing the county. The officials below Li County are almost dead. Right now the county is holding a scientific examination. You can send a notice that willing scholars can take part in the scientific examination."

"Yes!"

Jiang Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately agreed that this would be a great thing for students studying in Beidi.

Although there is an imperial examination in the North, it is just a formality. Officials from all over the country are sent by Gao'an in Huaizhou, except for small officials.It is not a big problem for scholars to only exempt some taxes, and the candidates who have passed the examination have not yet been housed.

Especially those from humble backgrounds, all of them are young and old. They farmed with their faces facing the loess and their backs turned to the sky to give up a scholar, but in the end they only got the name of "Ju Ren", which is actually of no benefit.

Many scholars have been disappointed with the imperial examinations, and those who can study, and those who have a little family business, go to the south to make a living.

Jiang Yunsheng couldn't help but think a little more.

For an imperial examination, at least [-] or [-] candidates must be admitted, and Lixian County does not need so many people.Li County can't use it, but other counties are also short of it!

For example: Tang County

For example: Jilin County
Another example: Huping County

These counties were all occupied by the rebels, the county magistrates were all dead, and all the officials in the Yamen either fled or died. In this way, twenty or thirty Juren are not enough.

Qingyun suddenly remembered that their imperial examinations were different from those of the imperial court, and said: "The imperial examinations held this time are different from the previous ones. Not only scholars can participate, but craftsmen can also participate."

"how do I say this?"

Jiang Yunsheng was taken aback for a moment, his face full of doubts, what could be different about the imperial examination, except that the questions were different every time.

No, Mr. Shangguan just mentioned that there are still craftsmen, and craftsmen also need imperial examinations?

What is the test?How to farm?How to do woodworking?
Why does Lord Shangguan feel so unreliable with him!
illusion!

illusion!

It's all an illusion!

"Officials are the ones who govern the local people. If you want to govern the people well, you must understand the needs of the people..." Qingyun Balabala explained why the craftsman imperial examination was required.

Jiang Yunsheng was taken aback after hearing this. There are so many official positions in a county... Wait, this is not the establishment of a small court in the yamen, but with a different name.

"Could it be...there are too many officials?" Jiang Yunsheng wanted to say that it was against the rules, but then he thought that he was not an official of the imperial court, but an official of Mr. Shangguan, and Mr. Shangguan felt appropriate.

"Not much. Land, water conservancy, planting, climate, etc. all need special people to take care of them. Check and study every now and then to prevent and prepare for the arrival of various disasters, and find problems in time and solve them as soon as possible.

If there are no such people in the counties, it will be reported when there is a problem, and then someone from above will be sent to check, and it will take a few days on the road.

What's the use?It's too late, what should have happened has happened, and I can only make up for it afterwards.What if something happens along the way?
This approach will not work.

The reason for setting up these official positions is to strangle the disaster in its cradle, so that it does not even have a chance to emerge. "

Jiang Yunsheng didn't think it was necessary at first, but after listening to it and thinking about it carefully, he felt it was very necessary.

Asking for others is worse than asking for yourself.

Although this sentence is not suitable here, the meaning is similar.What others have is not as good as your own. If the yamen of each county has relevant officials, they can find out the problems in the area under their jurisdiction in time and take timely measures.

As expected of Mr. Shangguan, what he thinks is farther than theirs.

"Is this the case for all future imperial examinations?" Jiang Yunsheng asked again without knowing what he had thought of.

This time, several county towns were attacked by the rebels, which resulted in vacancies for Yamen officials. The vacancies were filled, and there was no place to accommodate them again in the imperial examinations.If it's just this one time, you don't need to think about these issues.

After thinking about it for a while, Qingyun understood Jiang Yunsheng's consideration, and after thinking about it, he said, "Fill out the official vacancy first, and later, when Yanheng comes back, you are discussing and discussing, and come up with a charter."

Jiang Yunsheng didn't know who this 'Yanheng' was, but he could be sure from Lord Shangguan's expression that this person had extraordinary abilities and was highly appreciated by Lord Shangguan.

Qingyun is really busy, Jiang Yunsheng's report hasn't finished yet, all the officials in the army are looking for her, Lu Mingyang Huai'en and the others are not there, who else can they look for if they don't look for Qingyun?
Zhou Xiaoxi, Hong Xingwu and the others are rough people, they can fight wars, but they can't deal with these complicated and complicated things.

How to arrange for the sacrificed brothers?Or follow the usual practice?

Li County will be their second base camp in the future. Do you want to build a hero monument?

How are the wounded handled?Stay in Changping County first, or go with the army?

The doctors in the army are transferred out to heal the local people, but now there are not enough doctors in the army, and there are not enough medicinal materials in the army, etc.

Qingyun solved their problems one by one, issued orders one by one, and all the officials, including several generals, got busy.
