My Brother Daqin No. 1 Dude

Chapter 316 What about the next appointment?
The tall city wall stood majestically, although it was not as strong as Xianyang City in terms of height, width, or strength, but the hustle and bustle coming out of the city gate was something that Xianyang City did not have.

This is Xinzheng, which was once the capital of Zheng State.

After Han destroyed Zheng, he moved his capital here and became the capital of South Korea again.

Many cities in South Korea have undergone a bloody transformation, but this place has not been soaked in blood.

The biggest contributor to this phenomenon is Zhang Liang who stabilized the price of food and gave the people of Xinzheng a way to survive, leading the Zhang family to leave Xinzheng.

A convoy entered through the city gate, and walked for half an hour in a continuous stream before entering.

As soon as you enter the city gate, the city is full of people, the sound of brothels attracting customers, the sound of hawking in the street, and the sound of children playing.

The complicated sound caused the curtains of many carriages in the vehicle to be pulled up, and the owner looked out of the carriage with probing and curious eyes.

Not long after, the curtain of a carriage in the convoy was lowered, and Ying Chengxun inside it smiled and said to Wang Chan beside him:
"It's bustling here."

Without waiting for Wang Chan to respond, Ying Chengxi raised his voice and said to the driver:
"Go to the sheriff's office."

If Zhang Liang knew that the only pure land in Han that he had saved would eventually win over his arch-enemy, he would not be happy.

Sheriff's Mansion, lobby.

The main seat was covered with several layers of animal skins, and Ying Chengxun sat in it with the Da Ma Jin Dao.

The county guard of Xinzheng, who had been occupied, was not angry, but stood in the hall with a face of shame, hunched over slightly.

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent, I have not captured the wise man."

Ying Chengxu touched his chin, and looked from the sheriff's black hair to the cloth shoes on his feet, until the sheriff's forehead was sweating.

"How long have you been out?"

"It's almost March."

"Three months."

Ying Chengxun lowered his head and muttered again, then raised his head with a grim expression.

"In three months, you picked up all the red tape?"

The sheriff wiped the sweat from his forehead, sneered and was about to explain, but was interrupted by Ying Chengxun waving his hand.

"Go away, don't dangle in front of my eyes if you have nothing to do."

In Ying Chengxu's order to the sheriff, there was no arresting Zhang Liang at all.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The familiar feeling came back again, and the sheriff breathed a sigh of relief and said repeatedly.

"Let the fart go."

"Your Majesty, please allow me to return to the secret guard, the governor of Xinzheng County."

There was a hint of hesitation on the county guard's face, which was quickly washed away by the gritted teeth expression.

"Let someone else do it."

"what?"

Ying Chengxun, who had just witnessed the changes in Marxism-Leninism and felt depressed, suddenly became interested.He crossed his hands with the backs of his hands up, resting his chin on the meat rack folded over the backs of his hands.

"Actually, I should have gone to Xinzheng a long time ago. I turned back to Xianyang again in the middle. Do you know why?"

"The villain is stupid, I don't know, please let me know."

"Because Marxism-Leninism had a change of heart, it was the minister who was almost taken away in the tower. I redeemed him, gave him freedom, and let him be the steward of the tower. He was not satisfied with the status quo. When he was a minister, what was done to him was intensified and applied to concubines in the building, so I went back and killed him."

Ying Chengxun made a gesture of wiping his neck and smiled.

"You are very well informed. Is it because you didn't do good in Xinzheng that I might touch your neck too?"

"...The villain doesn't know about this."

"Then why did you resign and not take the job? The position of Xinzheng County Sheriff is a fat job. No matter how many people want to do it, they can't do it."

"Qiang is afraid." The sheriff said with a wry smile: "Qiang is afraid of being obsessed with others' flattery and obsequiousness."

Qiang, who is now the governor of Xinzheng County, was just a secret guard in the past.Although Qiang, the dark guard is very capable and enjoys a high reputation among the dark guards.

But compared with the flattery among the small groups, compared with the flattery received by the head of a county, the masters look up to the former.

The Great Qin established 36 counties, and there were only 36 people in the world who could be county guards.In the era when the system of prefectures and counties was not fully implemented, the power of these 36 people was much greater than that of the later feudal officials.

They are in charge of almost everything in the 36 counties except military power, including the appointment and removal of official positions.

As long as these county guards are willing, they can change all the officials in a county, except for the two official positions of county magistrate and county lieutenant, which cannot be changed.They can even point to the chickens and dogs in the village and say that they are divine beasts that should be enshrined.

It is worthy of the name that one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

Of course, that being said, no one actually dares to do this, and the separation of powers is not a show.

The main duty of the county magistrate is to report to the central Xianyang on local work. The orders from above are issued, and the county lieutenant can forcibly control the county guard with military power.There are really county guards who act like this, unless they get through the relationship between the county magistrate and the county lieutenant.

But this power is real, and every county guard has it.

Qiang has no surname, only first name.The ordinary hidden guard with a low status and a bit of brains rose to the sky in one step and became one of the 36 county guards. Too many people are fawning on him.

Those local aristocrats who used to not open their eyes to look at themselves, sent beauties and gold to Qiang one by one, and tried their best to flatter Qiang.After talking about the strong, there are few in the sky and nothing on the earth, and the saints can't compare with them.

Let him be educated since he was a child, and stand out from the many selections. He thinks that the strong-willed ones who are as firm as iron can't be recruited, and they need to hone their minds.

"You can think about it."

Ying Chengyu is serious.

"I can let you be the secret guard today, but if you want to be the sheriff of Xinzheng again tomorrow, I shouldn't be."

"If your majesty continues to talk, the villain will really regret it. The villain doesn't want to be the second Marxist-Leninist, so he made a special trip for your majesty. Please allow me to go back to the dark guard."

Looking at Qiang's determined expression and the vacillation in the eyes of the specially trained dark guard elite, Ying Chengxu fell silent.

[Can't even a well-educated and trained secret guard be able to withstand the temptation? ]
"Is it really impossible to conquer?" Ying Chengxun said in a deep voice: "You are not a Marxist-Leninist who was once a minister, you are a secret guard who is selected from thousands of miles, and you have received the most advanced education of this era."

"Insurmountable."

Forcefully spit out these four words, let out a long breath, and after exhaling this breath, it seems that all the burdens on the body have been unloaded, and as a free body, he said calmly:
"Zhang Shun sent his daughter the day before yesterday. She looks like a beautiful country in the eyes of a villain, shy and timid. Her female voice is like an oriole, and she says softly and weakly that she only wants to be my concubine. In the past, this beauty is not inferior to the beauty of your majesty's concubines. I don't even dare to look at beauties for a long time, but now I get what I want. And there is more than one woman who is as beautiful as her. If you are willing, the number of beauties around you at this moment is not inferior to your king.

"Beauties are like this, money is even worse. As long as Qiang nods, this lobby will not be filled with the money sent by those people. Qiang struggles hard every day, and dare not slack off in the slightest. After a little slack, he is used to beauties like clouds, I am used to being extravagant, so it is difficult to be in the state of mind I am in today. If your majesty comes ten days and a half months later, he should give Qiang a sword, just like that Marxist-Leninist."

Ying Chengxi was silent again.

Qiang waited patiently, waiting for Ying Chengxiu to let him return to the dark guard.

When he became the Xinzheng County Sheriff, he didn't know that the hidden guards had become a thing of the past.

Tread~

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, call me another 20 gold. If there is not so much, one hundred thousand gold is fine for a short time."

A man in a black bunt and Chu Mo costume broke into the lobby. It was the Mohist tycoon who called himself Qin Mo.

Seeing that Ying Chengyu was sitting on the chair and did not answer, Qiang, who was dressed in the uniform of the county guard, waited patiently in the hall, knowing that it was not the right time.

But the research project has entered a critical juncture, and the scientists who are anxious for funding, regardless of whether it is time, walk up to Ying Chengxue in three steps and two steps, and wave their hands in front of Ying Chengxue.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty!"

Ying Chengxun knocked it down, and said impatiently:
"What are you doing!"

Among the guests in the house, Jing Ke is the one who can annoy Ying Chengxu the most.

The number one assassin in the world without a brain, who acts recklessly and doesn't like to think, can make Ying Chengxun speechless from time to time, and asks Gai Nie to compete with him.

The thing that annoys Ying Chengxu the most is the scientist.In fact, scientists are good everywhere, with high EQ and IQ, and they do things without compromise, so that Ying Chengxuan won't worry about it.

It stands to reason that this kind of retainer should be a dream lover, but nothing is perfect in the world. Scientists need money, and they want a lot of money.

The money to support a scientist is much more than the sum of the money to support all the followers of Chang'an Junfu.

Other diners ask for money, but scientists ask for a hundred thousand gold as a base.If so much money can be converted into results, it will be fine. The problem is that most of the money has been wasted, and there is no sound.

To say that a scientist is a brave man, it might be too much to eat but not to pull.Three pistols, improved drugs, high-yielding crops...these are all pulled out by scientists.

But compared with the huge amount of money and materials spent, these things are really pitifully few, and the conversion rate is extremely low.No matter how good-tempered Ying Chengxi was, he couldn't suppress his anger when he met a scientist who asked for money.

Scientists have long been used to it, and spread their hands.

"No money."

Ying Chengxi widened his eyes.

[The one hundred thousand gold that was just taken before the wax festival is spent?How did it cost this? ]
"You...forget it, wait while I finish talking with Qiang, and then talk about your funding!"

Ying Chengxu, who originally wanted to ask where the flowers went, swallowed all the questions that came to his mouth.

It's useless to ask, even he, the traveler who provided the design concept and dictated the finished product, didn't understand the many professional terms that the scientist said.

"What is your majesty struggling with, I will help you solve your problems!"

Ying Chengyu let go of the scientist, but the scientist didn't want to let Ying Chengxu go.The scientist who was thinking about funding had an awe-inspiring look on his face, as if sharing the sovereign's worries and worries.

If Jing Ke asked this, Ying Chengxun would just chuckle and let him stay cool.

But when the scientist asked, Ying Chengxuan just glanced at the scientist, and then retell the conversation with the sheriff.

"What's so difficult about this?"

The scientist looked puzzled.

"Your Majesty agrees with your subordinates."

Strongly echoed:
"Exactly what the scientists say."

Seeing that Ying Chengxuan was still unmoved and showed no signs of consent, the scientist sat solemnly on the chair next to Ying Chengxuan.

"Where does your majesty hesitate?"

"When I appointed Qiang to Xinzheng, Xinzheng was in the hands of Zhang Liang. His county guard was in name only, and the people listened to the words of the Zhang family and not the officials. Qiang lived in Xinzheng. He took many measures to stabilize the situation and made a lot of contributions. Now Zhang Liang is defeated and the county guard is well-known and well-known, but I want to kick Qiang away, this is inappropriate."

"Your Majesty, it is inappropriate to appoint people on their own merits. You should not be cronyistic. Qiang is a secret guard, and he says that he is not capable enough to be a county guard. It is difficult to resist the temptation. Your Majesty thinks that he has worked hard and does not want to let him leave the position. If you act like this, what is the livelihood of the people? You are confused."

Ying Chengxi disagreed:
"Insufficient ability to govern Xinzheng to such a state? Along the way, there were turmoil in every city in Han, and some people with malicious intentions forced the government. Only Xinzheng handled the political affairs properly, and no local nobles made it big. Although there is Zhang Liang's contribution to recommendation, there are also many strong governance."

The scientist shook his head.

"No, no, Junshang's judgment is too arbitrary, and his subjective will is serious. Before Junshang's future, Qiang governed Xinzheng well. But Qiang himself said that if he can't stand the temptation, he will fall in the future. When Qiang After falling, he went from virtuous to unvirtuous. The emperor must force himself to be a county guard, so does he know himself better than Qiang?"

"Degenerate, what is degenerate? Is it degenerate to be greedy for money and lust? Then do I count as degenerate?"

The scientist said softly:
"Your Majesty is arguing again. I'm not good at words, so I can't argue with you. All I know is that Marxist-Leninist, who was named after His Majesty, squeezed concubines after he was in charge of the building, and finally assassinated them for His Majesty's return to Xianyang. An annual salary of one Baishi’s building is like this, not to mention that there are only 36 prefects in the world.”

Ying Chengxun squinted his eyes, opened his mouth and was about to say something, but he kept standing with his fists firmly cupped and said in a deep voice:
"That's right, Qiang is grateful to your lord for his respect, but Qiang is not afraid of swords, guns and halberds, but is afraid of beauties and money."

The scientist added:
"Strong ability can be the governor of Xinzheng, but his heart is not good. As an official, he should be sympathetic to the people's feelings and use his body. The principle of frugality stipulated by the ancient sage kings is that all kinds of craftsmen in the world, such as those who make wheels and cars, make Leather workers, pottery burners, metal smelters, carpenters, let them do their best.

"As long as it is enough to supply the people, it's fine. Eat according to your stomach, and wear your own clothes. After being forced to be a county guard, you can't resist the temptation, and you must use the money that should have been handed over to the people for your own use. Take other people's daughters. If you take other people's money, it will be convenient elsewhere. Your Majesty wants to strengthen only one person, and give up the people of Xinzheng?"

Ying Chengxi was silent.

Besides Qiang who had been waiting patiently, there was another scientist who was waiting.

The scientist, who was in a hurry just now, has no restlessness at all, and sits comfortably in the chair.

Because he knew that Ying Chengxuan's decision at this time was more important than the funds given to him.

After staying in Chang'an Junfu for so long, the scientists knew very well that Ying Chengxun never hesitated about one person or one thing.Solving Qiang's problem is actually very simple, let Qiang do his job, and then give Qiang money compensation.

But what next?What about the next appointment?
Do all appointed officials have to worry about whether they will go bad, whether they will be the second Marxism-Leninism?It is impossible for everyone to have such a strong self-consciousness.
