Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1244 Mu Xiu Yu Lin
"Congratulations!" Li Gang smiled.

I just said he would be promoted, but I didn't expect to be promoted so soon.

Hengshan County is a remote place, Xiajun, although the rank of the county magistrate is only the fifth rank, this rank is actually the same as the ranks of the four county magistrates of Henan County, Luoyang County, Chang'an County, and Wannian County.But in any case, this is the deputy of a county after all.

Daqin is now at the county level, with the county guard, the county magistrate, the county lieutenant, then the county master, and then the six Caos participating in the military.

In the past, Bie Jia, Chang Shi, and Sima were the three senior positions, but now they are Jun Cheng and Jun Wei. Jun Cheng and Jun Wei have their own division of labor. He is in charge of commanding the soldiers of the prefecture, but now, the prefect and lieutenant of the county are in charge of Cao affairs, which is similar to the division of labor in the county.

The eunuch who came to pass the decree also congratulated him repeatedly. Ma only won the Jinshi examination on Tuesday and won the number one scholar. Immediately, he was awarded the title of Hengshan County Chancellor, the fifth rank. The speed of promotion is simply astonishing.

Normally, one has to go through at least four exams for one term, that is, three years, a small exam every year, and a big exam every three years. At least one has to pass four exams to be promoted, most of them have to go through two terms before they can be promoted, and there may even be mediocrity .

Like him, he won the first prize in the imperial examination, was awarded the sixth grade, and then he was promoted to the top five in less than three months. This is too heaven-defying.

In particular, Secretary Lang's sixth rank is just a casual job, but the fifth rank of Hengshan County Chancellor is a real job, the deputy of a county.

If you do the four exams and get results, you will be a prefect if you go up.

Even if it is a prefect of the lower county, it is from the fourth rank. What is especially rare is that the prefect is the chief political officer, which is much more valuable than other fourth ranks.

Daqin is only about two hundred counties.

Ma Zhou was surprised.

"The promotion is too fast, the promotion is too high." Ma Zhou said directly.

"You are talented and energetic. You are the first number one scholar in Daqin, a student of the Son of Heaven. Your Majesty also wants to set you up as an example, so it is normal to promote you out of the ordinary." Li Gang can see it clearly. It was still the beginning of the dynasty, and there were not so many rules and regulations. After all, the emperor's appointment of people was no different from the appointment of officials or political affairs halls, and he had to follow the rules.

The emperor has the power to use people irregularly.

"Your Majesty, Hengshan County is a newly acquired county by the imperial court, and it is located in a remote place. There are many barbarians there, and it is backward and remote. It may not be easy to become the governor of this county. You can't just regard it as a promotion. , you have to face up to this challenge. If you are not prepared enough, you will lose your face and future, and you will lose the face of a saint. How many people in the world are staring at you!" Li Gang reminded road.

Ma Zhou nodded.

As a result, another group of people came over there.

"There is an imperial edict, Li Gang accepts it!"

The imperial decree was read out, and the emperor appointed Li Gang as the prefect of Hengshan County.

Li Gang, who was still saying that Ma Zhou had to be mentally prepared for a hard struggle, was stunned. He didn't expect that he would go to Hengshan and continue to partner with Ma Zhou, but this time he was the chief officer, and Ma Zhou was his deputy. up.

Ma Zhou laughed.

"Sir, it seems that His Majesty is very optimistic about our two partners!"

Li Gang had no choice but to say, "I have such an old bone. Your Majesty wants me to go to Mount Heng in Hunan. You really look down on my old bone."

"Just now I was worried that there would be no one to guide me when I arrived in Hengshan. Now it's all right, I will go with my husband, and I will work under my husband in the future, so I don't have to worry about it."

Li Gang laughed at himself a few words, but he also accepted the transfer order. From Zhan Shi, Prince of the Eastern Palace, to a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and then demoted to Yanshi County Chancellor, and now promoted to Hengshan Prefect, Li Gang has had ups and downs in the past six months. Also get used to it.

After going through these days, he didn't resist going to Hengshan now, instead he thought it was an opportunity to do practical things.

"The sage is considered considerate of my old age, and specially selected a young talent like you to be my deputy. I will rely on you more in the future."

"I still need more guidance from my husband!"

The two talked with a smile, and they were not afraid or worried about the new position they were about to assume.

Royal Palace.

After hearing the report from the Imperial City Secretary, Luo Cheng smiled when he heard Li Gang and Ma Zhou's reaction after receiving the order.

"I hope that the old and the young will pass on the guidance, and they will be able to do well in Hengshan County, just like in Yanshi County."

"Is the sage promoting Ma Zhou too fast?" Secretary Supervisor Wang Gui asked. After all, Ma Zhou was the secretary of his Secretary's Department before, even though Ma Zhou didn't spend a day in the Secretary's Department.

But Wang Gui's words were not to hurt Ma Zhou, but to protect him.

After all, Mu Xiu Yu Lin Feng must urge him, and Ma Zhou was originally a commoner, but the emperor summoned him and wanted to make him a censor. After he refused, he took part in the imperial examination.

Now in such a short period of time, he has to go from the idle position from the sixth rank to the fifth rank to the important position of the county magistrate.

"The veteran is afraid that it will be bad for Ma Zhou. During the past few months in Yanshi, the veteran has been paying attention to him. He is indeed a young man who is willing to do practical things and has real talents. The talent of Zaifu is afraid of being promoted too quickly and being destroyed. That would be the loss of Great Qin."

Luo Cheng had another idea.

"Ma Zhou is capable and willing to fight, so what he needs is an opportunity. I will give him an opportunity, and I will not be afraid of his mistakes. Hengshan County is now newly recovered, and there is nothing left to do, especially when it is still experiencing a catastrophe. He hasn't recovered yet, Ma Zhou has experience in disaster relief in Yanshi, and he can just use it there."

"Especially in the current situation of Hengshan, which is remote and backward, it's just for him to play. Even if he doesn't do well, it doesn't matter. He can try and make mistakes. What young people are most afraid of is not making mistakes, but not having opportunities, and slowly killing their passion. In the end, everyone was lost. I am also optimistic about Ma Zhou, a prime minister, and hope that he can become a famous prime minister in the future."

Hearing what the emperor said, Wang Gui let go of his worries.

"The sages, Jiangdong Shen Fahe and Jiangxi Lin Shihong have asked for food for disaster relief several times, and now they have several memorials in succession. It is really urgent."

"If he wants food, he can lend it to him, but there must be a mortgage. This food is loaned to him, not given to him."

Wang Gui was puzzled, "What can they guarantee?"

"Why not, you can always exchange money and silk for food, you can also exchange it with artisans, gold and silver are also fine, in short, you can exchange anything that is valuable. I can give them food, but not in vain. He can I will give him as much grain as he takes out.”

"There is really nothing to change, even armor and weapons, slaves, cattle and horses, and wood and fuel!"

"If you want food, you have to pay a price." Luo Cheng didn't plan to flatten the Jiangnan Second Families for the time being, but that didn't mean he had to rescue their food.
