@@黄里长 This kind of character is a typical local snake, and he has gone through the entire war-torn period. How can he be bought by a little favor?
What's more, he really didn't believe that this thing could be exchanged for a full ten catties of millet, so he just accepted it, and then checked it in the village to collect the copper coins and swords that were handed out before... In this day and age, copper coins are really useless , at least in Hebei, it is really useless. I heard that it may be replaced by seeds, but no one keeps them.

But Huang Lichang packed up his things and collected some old rice that he had hidden. He searched for someone the night before and steamed it up. He called two or three helpers, and found four or five village laborers who knew about farming. He got on the only mule left in his family, pushed three wooden carts, piled up the tattered swords and swords issued before, and took the official road to the county.

Because of the geographical location, Huang Lichang and his party didn't meet any similar people at first. The others simply set off early in the morning, expecting to arrive today, but instead, the entire group became uneasy, fearing that they would be late. "

Of course, Huang Lichang was well-informed and knew that he would not be able to make it today, so he comforted himself and continued on his way without haste. As a result, he stayed at an acquaintance's house more than ten miles away from Jiangling City that night. Sure enough, the people who saw this place had brought the seeds first, saying that the farm tools needed time... Frankly speaking, they also looked at the seeds. The quality is not very good, but it is definitely a serious new species, which is abnormal in Hebei at the moment valuable.

At this moment, the others became more and more anxious, but Huang Lichang calmed down instead - as long as he didn't lie to others.

However, this local Xiaohao still miscalculated. The next morning, he arrived at the county seat early, and he saw that the east and west of the city had different opinions, and they were indeed farm tools and seeds. Come, but the seeds were sent in a limited quantity, but they were sent too fast, with loss and overreporting. Now they have finished sending them, and they only said that they would have to wait another two days.

There is no way to delay the farming season, and the seeds are priceless but not marketable. Rao Lichang Huang, who claims to be as stable as a red mountain, can't help but panic at this time, so he has to go to the fast-legged team leader Zhao he knew the day before yesterday to verify.

In the end, Captain Zhao couldn't find it either, only a young sergeant who met the day before came out... The latter told Chief Huang that Chief Zhao had inexplicably got lucky today, and was left in the tent directly under the leader of the city, and entered the camp. The Wang Yi Department, as a Wang Yishi, I am afraid they will not come back. As for the seeds, there is no need to worry. Someone has indeed gone to Lujiaoguan to adjust the seeds, and it is not true that they will not give them.

Huang Lichang heaved a sigh of relief, and didn't dare to leave, so he led people to find Han Xiangzheng, entered a simple camp specially set up for people like them, and exchanged the food stamps for ten catties of genuine old rice... ...The entourage relaxed when they saw Chen Mi, and only sent one person back to report the news, so they stayed here in the county seat and waited.

The next day, the seeds hadn't arrived yet, and everyone was panicking, so they went to see the making of farm tools... these days, even blacksmithing is a rare thing to watch, and it's a sea of ​​people to play a game, let alone dozens of blacksmiths. Line up, and then turn the sword into a plow in three shifts day and night?  …

Of course, Li Chang Huang is a caring person. Others went to watch the blacksmithing, but he stayed in the camp first, and greeted the other Li Chang who came late with him. He turned to the city again, and went to look for old people in the city by the way.

But to be honest, it is really hard to see someone like him who has been firmly established since before the Three Expeditions. After turning around, most of the folk acquaintances have been lost, and a small number are said to be still there. They are all busy with something, and no one can be seen. , everything is right and wrong.

However, just when he had no choice but to turn back outside the city, he unexpectedly bumped into Captain Zhao and Han Xiangzheng in front of the camp. These two had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Brother Huang, your luck has come." Han Xiangzheng shouted from afar. "Brother Zhao was promoted and became Da Longtou's own person. He recommended you immediately. Now Da Longtou wants to see you."

Huang Lichang was flustered, but he hurriedly ran to the front of the crowd and bowed his hands under the gaze of the people around him, but he bowed to the gang leader Zhao: "You two, don't be joking...Brother Zhao, what's going on? "

"Actually, it's nothing." It's only been a day, but it's obvious that Zhao's mentality is different. He just stands there with his arms tied

Come laugh there. "Han Xiangzheng was just joking. In fact, after he came back the day before yesterday, he made the report in detail. Yesterday, he was pushed by the battalion head to his superiors. It happened that the leader saw it with his own eyes, so he called me over and transferred me to the staff department. To be a consultant in the direction of local customs...but this afternoon, the leader asked me again, have you ever come, and I want to see you when you come."

Huang Lichang heard the truth, but became even more panicked: "I don't have any clothes here..."

"It doesn't matter." Chief Zhao, or Staff Officer Zhao said frankly. "Our faucet has never paid attention to this, after
I was chopping firewood for the farm tool workshop with my brothers in the camp... Just go quickly, don't waste time. "

Huang Lichang had no choice but to nod indiscriminately, but in the end he borrowed a piece of cloth, took a basin of clean water, wiped his face a little, wiped his hair, rubbed off the spring mud on the soles of his feet along the way, and then followed Staff Zhao Enter the city, and then turn to the county government full of people.

After verifying his identity, he followed Staff Officer Zhao into the county government office. Huang Lichang was so guilty that he didn't dare to raise his head. After that, his eyes were full of Liuhe boots, and he couldn't tell who was from whom, but his ears didn't stop, and he heard a lot of strange things. if.

"What's wrong with you guys?" Someone was clearly yelling. "Longtou is here in Hebei, obviously it is necessary to be clean and easy to paint... It is Bai Datou who led back to Dengzhou, Wu Datou led back to Jiyin, but there are 1 to 10,000 soldiers in the two counties, [-] There are many craftsmen, [-] to [-] auxiliary soldiers, [-]+ field soldiers, and the materials seized before. What can’t be cleaned up? What heroes, what borders, what room is left? If we hadn’t deployed soldiers and horses on the border in advance, would you Don’t you want to be tricked by these heroes? The tyrants in these places dare to show half of their teeth, and they will be killed by him!”

"Don't gather young people to build a foundation for the time being?" Some people are still inquiring about something. "Spring plowing? And the people in Hebei have not convinced us? In fact, there are too many things...Is there an imperial examination? The literacy class is coming together with the foundation building? Who said that?"

Turning into a courtyard, there are people arguing about something on the road:…

"I know what you mean, I'm used to calling it... But there must be a serious rule... For example, Chief Lu and his brothers, their first names are Lu Mingyue and Lu Hongyue, and everyone usually calls them Dayue and Xiaoyue. To write in the roster, it is Mingyue, Hongyue, Wang Yishi here... oh, what did Longtou say? It is called the staff department and staff, then it is called staff...I have no objection, I have always supported Longtou."

Then, when they entered a large courtyard, the number of people suddenly decreased. Staff Zhao went to report, and Lichang Huang was left behind. Naturally, Lichang Huang stayed where he was, but there were also people discussing something in this courtyard:
"I think it's best to separate the military and the government. The army is the army, and the government is the government. The army is the sword and armor, which is the cultivation of violence, and the true energy of the army; the government is the document and the law, it is learning and arithmetic, and it is close to the people. Together, sooner or later something will go wrong." "

"That statement was wrong from the very beginning."

"How do you say it? Please thank the leader for your enlightenment."

"I don't dare to call it an enlightenment, but cultivation has never been violent. It's just that when the cultivation is low, it is mostly manifested in strength and used in killing methods. In fact, true energy is the vitality of heaven and earth. A process in the sky... When the cultivation base reaches a high level, there is no persistence in the heart, and it cannot be sustained. Once the Taoist heart is broken, the cultivation base will also stagnate. It is not unreasonable to respect Wenxiu since the Tang Emperor; Vitality...then dare I ask, is the smoothness of the Han River used to kill people? Isn't the most obvious effect of the attribute of the earth's qi not the abundance of products? And those real dragons, their strongest, isn't it judged by changing the celestial phenomena? ? Is this considered violence? As for grammar officials, why don’t you need grammar officials? Don’t forget how Emperor Qing ascended to heaven!”

What he said was so cloudy that Huang Lichang couldn't understand it at all, but it didn't delay him realizing that this was a truly insightful person, so he raised his head to take a peek, and saw a man with fluttering sleeves and a fairy-like appearance. The figure who can't be covered is standing at the bottom of the steps, talking loudly.

Of course, after just a glance, he immediately lowered his head and continued to listen with his ears up.

"What Chief Xie said is reasonable... However, I oppose the separation of the military and the government because the military cannot be separated from the government, and the government cannot be separated from the army... The military also has a military law battalion and a staff department. Isn't this just a grammatical official? As for government affairs , there are also security patrols, ground
Fang Jing, isn’t this military affairs? There is me in you, and you in me. "

"I didn't say I was against the separation of government and military..."

"What do you mean by thanking the boss?"

"I agree with the separation of the military and the government, but the reason is different from what you think... I agree because things should be organized and special workers."

"But as you said just now, the grammarians are everywhere..."

"Cultivators want it everywhere..."

"That……"

"Civil and military are classified, military and government are separated, but personnel can flow between civil and military."

"What's the meaning?"

"Based on the gang... the leader is the leader, not the leader of the army, nor the grammatical official, but the appointment of the person, the change of job according to the merit, depending on his talent and rank, he will be a general, and he will be a guard. "

"Like a title?"

"But if this is the case, the current division within the gang is not detailed enough, right? Only the chief and the big chief are not enough."...

"Naturally, I have always felt that the helmsman is a job, not a position, and should not be listed under the leader. The gang must reorganize..."

"It's right to adjust from the beginning, but the helmsman is open to discussion, it is definitely not a job..."

"Brother Huang, come in, the leader is calling!"

At this moment, Staff Officer Zhao's voice suddenly sounded in front of him, startling Huang Lichang who was engrossed in listening, and the latter hurriedly put away his thoughts and went inside.

After entering, I heard someone in front of me asking: "Mr. Huang, I'm sorry to trouble you, please sit down, next to me is Zhang San, and I want to ask you a few things, I hope you don't take offense."

"Don't dare, don't dare, just ask if you have any questions." Huang Lichang hurriedly responded, saluted quickly, and then sat down on the empty stool next to him. At the same time, he couldn't help but look up and peek. On the top, he just wears a small samurai crown that is the same as the others, and then wears a uniform with a blouson that is almost the same as the others. He also wears a pair of Liuhe boots on his feet, but he is also surprised.

However, this man immediately thought of the gossip he heard in the camp yesterday, maybe it was a way for the big man to prevent the assassination of the master.

In this way, the two exchanged words for a while, but at first Zhang Xing asked the other party about the number of people in his family, how much land he had granted, how many people were left in the village, how much food was left, and how much idle land was estimated to be around. query language.

Immediately afterwards, it turned into that the Dethrone Dragon Gang was going to release official slaves and buy private slaves. The policy of granting private slaves land for employment is good. Everyone likes this time to cast swords into plows, and others dare not say no.

"Tell me." After a while, Zhang Xing continued to ask normally. "Obviously our Dragon Gang has established itself in the southern part of the Zhanghe River, but why are there still many locals who keep causing trouble? Aren't they afraid of death?".

Huang Lichang trembled, but immediately realized that as the other party, it was impossible to know and not care about his previous thoughts. It was completely normal to ask casually, so he tried his best to suppress his anxiety and answered:
"To be honest with the leader, I think these people are not afraid of death, but most of them are ignorant... They probably know that the army that dethroned the dragon army won, but they don't know what they won, they just saw that the territory was drawn The two counties have already come to an end, and Neili is still used to dealing with the repeated situations between the official army and the rebel army in the past two or three years."

Zhang Xing nodded: "That's right. In the past few years, the officers and rebels went back and forth. They only judged from past experience, so they couldn't say that they were wrong... But they lost their own family and even many nephews, and the family also lost their lives." devastated

On the contrary, there are fewer people with concentration like your Excellency. "

Huang Lichang swallowed, and continued to wait with his head bowed.

"Then let me ask you again, what if... just what if, for example... let you, a rich local family who has stayed in your hometown for many years, abandon the local village head and go to the east to become a township or city supervisor, Guan Zhang and the like, would you like to go?
"Zhang Xing continued to ask.

Li Chang Huang tried hard to think about it, and probably understood what the other party meant, but he still couldn't help but be cautious: "If you get promoted, why don't you want to do it? It's just that you don't know what to do at home? Will granting land have any impact? Will it be affected?
people bully?"

"I don't move at home, and Shitian is also at home. I just go to another county as an official." Zhang Xing answered simply. "It's just to imitate the official and be a close official."...

"I'm afraid there are people in the neighboring county who are willing." Chief Huang immediately responded. "But it can't be too far away. It's a guilty conscience...it's not worth it."

Zhang Xing nodded: "To put it bluntly, the position is determined by the position and the distance from the official, right?" "Yes."

"Then what if." Zhang Xing paused. "You are now the head of the village, and you go to the east to be a township official. If you do a good job in the ten townships in three years and choose two of the best meritorious deeds, you will be transferred to other counties. Are you willing to go? "

Huang Lichang was stunned for a moment, and instinctively reminded: "Da Longtou, the county lieutenant and the county magistrate are officials who have entered the ranks, and they are appointed from above..."

Halfway through the conversation, the village head got stuck because he already understood what the other party meant, so after a moment of hesitation, the local Xiaohao gave the answer again: "If you go back to the head of the dragon, if you depose the dragon The rule here in the army is that you can transfer from the village to the official position, I think... at least many people are willing to go to the neighboring counties."

"Then are you willing?" Just when Chief Huang thought that this problem had been dealt with, the big dragon head suddenly asked a key point.

"I..." Huang Lichang's forehead was covered with sweat. "Of course I am..."

"Actually, you are not happy to be an official in a neighboring county, are you?" Zhang Xing said with a smile. "You are a big family. Being an official in the local area is never for the sake of being an official, but for maintaining the momentum of the local family... The so-called useless things done in the local township, but you can't give them up to others, is that what you mean? And those who are willing to go to other counties to serve In fact, they are poor people who can read and write but have no way out, or are they soldiers who transferred from the military camp to find a foothold?"

"Da Longtou has deep knowledge." Huang Lichang simply stood up and bowed his head
"But if that's the case, wouldn't those poor and poor soldiers naturally become the thorn in the side of you big families?" Zhang Xing continued to ask with a smile.

Huang Lichang was silent for a while, but he gave an unexpected answer: "Reporting to the leader, from experience, it depends on the time."

"How to say?"

"In the early years, when Da Qi just disappeared, not to mention the head of the township, even the ordinary county magistrates sent by the Great Wei would fight with the locals wherever they went, to try it out... so it came down Naturally, some people from above left in embarrassment, but according to the previous temperament of the Wei court, anyone who dared to provoke officials publicly would destroy your family. So in the end, it was often the locals who avoided it like tigers. And those officials who came from above have also learned to be good, because once there is a demand for taxation, they can only consult with people like us at the bottom to avoid their own crimes. As far as I can tell, things are different now. , has been in chaos for several years, so many household registrations have been lost, and the fields are barren, no one feels that the village has been violated, let alone the small officials in the village?"

"I understand what you mean. You mean that the village is naturally resistant to outsiders, especially officials who come to collect taxes. This is inevitable. There are always... right?" Zhang Xing's expression became serious. "It's just that, in addition to resistance, everyone also needs to consider the deterrent power of the armored soldiers and the changes in the current situation... If there is a catastrophe, everyone has no time to think about it, right?"

"All right, all of them."

"Then I'll ask you again." Zhang Xing continued. "Take advantage of this opportunity to let the wounded sergeants who have been transferred to work and the literate recruits be the township leaders and village chiefs, and at the same time grant land to the local people. Will the hostility of the local people be less if they are local people in the future?"...

"Of course it will be much less." Huang Lichang laughed quickly. "Things are nothing more than power and wealth, legal principles and human feelings.

Zhang Xing smiled and nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, let me ask one last question... Are you willing to go to the east to be a township or city supervisor?"

Huang Lichang struggled for a moment, but still shook his head.

Zhang Xing didn't say much, he stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you out."

Huang Lichang seemed to be pardoned and flattered, hurriedly walked out first, then bowed his head and followed the other party all the way out, and at the same time, he heard many people greet the leader non-stop.

In the end, the other party actually sent himself all the way to the county government office.
After dozens of steps outside the gate, he stopped just now, but he was also dizzy and intoxicated.

But Zhang Xing turned back to the courtyard, sat back on his seat, thought for a moment, and then signed the name of Zhang San, the leader of the left-wing leader of the Dragon Clan, Hebei Military and Political Commander-in-Chief, on the document he had already prepared.

He knew very well that according to the current situation, after the new township regulations in this place were issued, there would be no resistance here in Hebei because they were broken, but there would obviously be a backlash in the east.

In fact, these days, Zhang Xing has clearly sensed the faint resistance and dissatisfaction of the East to Hebei. This resistance is systematic rather than targeted. Delay, and then the slackness of many leaders with industries in the eastern border in Hebei, it is difficult for you to say who is going against you on purpose, especially since your family has just won a big military victory, which guaranteed the advancement of the original plan. I don't think any specific person or group will act as a demon at this time, so the only explanation is the overall drift of people's hearts.

But Zhang Xing couldn't face and rectify this problem in a short time.

The first is spring plowing and farming. In the case of Hebei, if spring plowing is not done well, there will be big troubles. This is current politics.

Then we have to consider a moderate march on Qinghe and Wuyang, but in Qinghe County, Cao Shancheng has become stubborn to a certain extent, and fighting will inevitably break out after spring plowing.

At the same time, organizational construction cannot be stopped for a moment, such as the current village regulations, but this is only a part of local government affairs, the Dragon Gang, the army, and the local government, each of which must be carefully and vigorously restructured, and There must also be a unified and smooth operating system among the three.

Not to mention that, Zhang Xing knew very well that no matter whether he had the ability or not, he had to publicly put forward his policy agenda under the current situation.

While thinking about it, he picked up a piece of paper, and then started to write and draw with a charcoal pencil.

"Overthrow the violent Wei and stabilize the world."

These eight characters draw a circle, and then on the left side write some nonsense such as "the leader of the world's righteous army, comprehensively reorganize, march into Hebei, take the land of Jin, and suppress Guanzhong". Legal construction, organizational system construction, military construction, ideological construction, economic construction, agricultural construction, cultural etiquette construction"...the last word was put with a question mark, and it became "religious cultural etiquette construction".

In the end, he covered the paper again, and re-wrote some big and useless words that he thought of where is where, such as "receiving people's hearts, enlightening people, making the most of the land, selecting talents, lenient prisons, equalizing taxes and servitude, organizing soldiers and horses, Trade" these things. …

Not to mention that, after a while, Zhang Xingfu tore up some more notes, writing wherever he thought of, and then pasted these notes under the things written down on the previous two pieces of paper.

For example, under the legal construction, the last three items are "following the old system, lenient punishment and prison, and de-attachment". Emphasize the release of slavery, reduce personal dependence, the relevant regulations.

However, Zhang Xing was not satisfied after writing about dozens of articles in such a mess.

In his opinion, some words are empty, some are too thin, and some notes don’t know where to stick them. When he looked up, he felt that the one on the left actually included the one on the right, and the one on the right was the same as the last one, which was completely unacceptable. organized.

It can only be said that governance on paper is really ridiculous.

So, feeling depressed for a while, Zhang Xing simply got up, turned around to go outside to get some air, and finally went out of the county government office, went to the blacksmith shop outside the city to watch blacksmiths forging... Which man doesn't like to see this?
What he didn't know was that shortly after he went out from the east gate, Qian Tang and Dou Lide entered from the south gate because of the farming affairs, and Wei Xuanding and Xiong Bonan also accompanied Xu Shiying who had just crossed the river to enter from the west gate. I came to look for him, and then I saw those waste manuscripts.

There are not so many rules in the Dragon Clan, and you have nothing to hide when you are placed on the big table. Therefore, Wei Xuanding took the lead, and everyone flocked to watch it. After watching for a long time, each of them turned pale and felt guilty.

half an hour, still new
Chen Binlai, the person who surrendered, smiled wryly: "It's only been ten days since the bandit Xue retreated.

Constantly, internal and external disputes and doubts continue, but the faucet is just like flowing water passing over a mountain, straight and straight, clear and thorough, peaceful in appearance,

Hidden hills and ravines, such a calm response, I thought it was already a big deal, but I didn't expect to have such a big article behind the world. It really is like the rumors, this leader has won the favor of a certain supreme, is a gift from heaven people?"

For a while, no one said anything, such as Xu Shiying, who just stole a piece of paper early and was going to copy it for a while.
.
