Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 258 The County Magistrate Resigns
After the county magistrate of Sanyuan greeted Liu Mu, he took out an official document and handed it to Liu Mu.

"Mu Lang-jun, please read this letter."

Liu Mu took it with a puzzled expression, and turned it over to see that it was a resignation letter.That means that the county magistrate doesn't want to do it anymore and applies for transfer to another county.

Liu Mu pointed to the big cart behind him: "Why are you bothering? Look, I have sent the tax money here. You can check it to make sure that you won't miss a penny."

The county magistrate had seen the cart a long time ago, and knew that it was pulling coins.

The county magistrate said: "In Sanyuan County, [-]% of the land is granted by honorable positions, and the [-]% of the land is the land of the two Li families and several generals. You have the final say. The other [-]% are the family members of the imperial army. You rented out the last [-]% of the land that raised your family. It can be said that you are the only one who pays taxes in Sanyuan.”

"Well! It seems so."

"Why don't you come and be the county magistrate?"

When Liu Mu heard this suggestion, he pressed his forehead and thought for a long time: "It seems to be good, but is it possible?"

"What do you think?" the magistrate asked with a smile.

Liu Mu turned around and asked Gao Xingxing: "Are you the county magistrate?"

"My real job is from the sixth rank, and Sanyuan is only a middle county, but it is an official position from the seventh rank. I am not suitable, but I can find a suitable person to be the county magistrate. I have a cousin in my family who is well educated and kind. Also stable and reliable.”

Gao Xing has obviously confirmed that the county magistrate got it.

In fact it is.

In the era of the Tang Dynasty, being an official was firstly a recommendation system, and then a recommendation system. In the end, the unformed imperial examination was not discussed, and the outstanding people in the official academy were selected.Among the official schools, almost all are the children of the gentry.In the end, among the unformed imperial examinations, some calculation, labor, law, etc. were selected as auxiliary officials.

So Gao Xing believes that as long as Liu Mu is willing, not to mention Sanyuan, even if Jingyang is added, it will not be a problem to win the county magistrates of two counties at once.

The county magistrate directly handed over the seal to Liu Mu.

"This is against the rules, there must be a process."

"Just right, I want to go home for the New Year. I haven't been back to my hometown for four years. I'll come to the Ministry of Officials tomorrow in the spring to listen."

Before Liu Mu could speak, Gao Xing took the seal of the county magistrate: "Alright, I will protect you as an official under the seventh grade of Jiangnan. Come on, everyone will go to the main hall to listen to the instructions. There are some errands for you to do." .” Gao Xing immediately ordered the people in the county to start working.

The county magistrate said something to thank Gao for his performance, and happily went to pack and pack his luggage.

Liu Muxin said, what is it all about.

But in fact, this is Datang.The rules have not yet been fully formed. Why Duan Lun was impeached despite his great contribution to the pacification of Sichuan, is because he alone has the final say on the appointment, removal and promotion of officials there.

Not because he is arbitrarily hated, but because he offended too many gentry.

Li Shimin was the shepherd of Yongzhou, except for the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion who needed to consult Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty, the appointment and removal of other officials was still up to Li Shimin.

As Gao Jian's son and Li Shimin's cousin, Gao Xing knew that the county magistrate of Sanyuan could be changed, and the procedures were in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty. He only needed to go to the Qin Palace to fill in a document. It's okay to fill in a paperwork from Dad.

"The first job is to notify all townships, ri, and villages. Starting in the early morning of August 11, each village will distribute money. The second job is to organize the peasants to prepare to transport some things to Chang'an. The third job is Jingyang there. You have a Mid-Autumn Festival celebration, and the villages who signed the contract came to get new clothes, and wore them to Jingyang to participate in the celebration. What’s more, I polished all the donkey carts and horse carts, and painted them again.”

"Yes!" All the officials and servants in the county government shouted in response.

After giving these instructions, Gao Xun said to Liu Mu: "Isn't Mr. Lang going to Chang'an, then you go. I went to change the county magistrate of Jingyang, and after making arrangements, I will go to Jingyang to prepare for the celebration."

Liu Mu's face twitched: "Change the magistrate of Jingyang County?"

Gao Xun nodded: "Yes."

"Okay." Liu Mu was completely speechless, turned around and rode off on his own.

Although changing the county magistrate is beneficial to him, this matter is too casual.So do I want to give Li Shimin some suggestions to modify this rule?

In the evening, Chang'an City.

If Liumu and Dugu Lanruo entered Chang'an, they directly applied for admission to the palace outside the west side door of Taiji Official, and faced the king.

Li Yuan's study.

Peng Hai asked for instructions: "Sage, do you want to have a banquet?"

"No, prepare a bowl of porridge and a few pancakes for each of them, drink as much as you want, and forget it if you don't want to." After Li Yuan ordered, he said: "Tell Xiaomu, the food here is not as good as his so-called The people in the countryside eat well, so we don't hold a banquet, so that he won't secretly laugh at me that the food in the palace is unpalatable."

Peng Hai smiled and retreated.

In the harem garden, Liu Mu Yili greeted the Lord, and Dugu Lanruo was with Concubine Wan Gui and several other princesses.

Liu Mu straightened his body: "Father, Xiaomin thinks that there are still many people in the Tang Dynasty who don't have enough to eat and don't have enough clothes. As an emperor, you should...

Before Liu Mu finished speaking, Li Yuan picked up the sword of the imperial guards around him and came over to beat Liu Mu: "You bastard...

Li Yuan chased Liu Mu around the garden, finally stood there panting tiredly, the knife fell at some point, pointed at Liu Mu with the scabbard in his hand, "You bastard, let me hit you a few times."

"You sit around all day and you don't have an appetite for anything. Farmers eat everything because they are hungry after working all day. That's why you think you don't eat well, but in fact you eat too much greasy food."

"Come here." Li Yuan pointed at Liu Mu.

"I won't go, I'm afraid of being beaten." Liu Mu was also sitting five steps away from Li Yuan.

The maids, eunuchs, and imperial guards next to him thought they were blind and saw nothing.

Because this is the harem, not the front hall.

If Liu Mu dared to do this in the front hall, he would probably be held down and beaten, and he would regret being reborn, but he would not be reborn in the harem. The harem represents the family. This is a family relationship. There is no emperor and courtiers, only elders and juniors.

Because this is Datang.

"Come here, I won't beat you." Li Yuan never called himself "Zhen" when he was in the harem and had no foreign ministers, and to many relatives, as the emperor, he also called each other uncle, uncle, etc.

After Liu Mu approached, Li Yuan said to Liu Mu: "The salt in Laizhou and the cattle in Youzhou are doing well. Although there are some small troubles, they need to be dealt with by Erlang."

"Let me tell you something, among these cows, there are about [-] cows that can't do farm work, and have no strength after eating all their meat." Liu Mu sat beside Li Yuan.

After hearing the weak cow, Li Yuan asked, "Then why do you need these cows?"
