I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 28 History of Bing Cao in the Great Commandery
About ten days later, Gongsun Zan sent someone to notify Liu Jian, saying that the county guard had sent a reply, saying that Lu Qian, the prefect of Zhuo County, had agreed to Gongsun Zan's recommendation and was willing to enlist Liu Jian to serve in the county office.

This Lu Qian is not the Lu Qian under Cao Cao in history, but it just happens to have the same name. In terms of age, this two thousand stone Lu Taishou is also a generation older than the Lu Qian under Cao Cao.

Liu Jian informed Liu Zhou and Hu Shi of the news, and the two old people were naturally overjoyed.

I thought that if my son could be employed by the county magistrate Gongsun, it would be a great opportunity to be a hundred stone assistant in the county.

But who would have thought that that Gongsun Zan would actually recommend Liu Jian to be an official in the county... This senior brother is really righteous, his character is really worth mentioning, he is dedicated to his classmates and has no selfishness, which is commendable.

Liu Zhou proudly said to Mrs. Hu: "It must be the credit of the previous dinner. If the old man hadn't had a good drink with Gongsun Zan, he might not have been able to take such good care of our son."

Mrs. Hu was also in a state of excitement, and unexpectedly did not scold Liu Zhou after hearing this.

Zhuo County is divided into east and west, and the county office is located near Lousang Village, which is some distance away from Liu Jian's house. If you take office there, it is not suitable to live at home, it is a bit far away.

For the sake of his son's future, Liu Zhou can be said to have spent a lot of money. He prepared all the things he needed to go, and prepared five carts for Liu Jian, and there were eight servants in addition, which was short of sending the entire family home. They were all moved to Liu Jian.

Liu Bei naturally wanted to follow, although Mrs. Hu was reluctant, but thinking of the last time his son foolishly followed Liu Bei to the cowshed, he couldn't stop him again.

Brother Jian Yong is alone, so it is natural and reasonable to follow him, not to mention that his family is desolate, and Liu Jian can take care of him in the future.

As for Zhang Fei...

When Mr. Zhang Shaolang went home and told his family about this matter, Zhang Fei's father was very excited at that time. This is a good opportunity to bond with the famous Confucian disciples.

Afterwards, Butcher Zhang decided to sell all his property, and accompanied Zhang Fei to change places with Liu Jian to take office—the Lord stopped killing pigs and wanted to become an official.

When the news reached Liu Jian, Liu Jian was so frightened that he came to the door in person.

He euphemistically told Butcher Zhang that one generation has one generation's career, and there is nothing wrong with your son mixing with me. As for your old man... it is best to use your residual heat in the glorious position of butchering pigs and selling meat.

As for Su Shuang, because he still needs to do business, especially according to Liu Jian's order, he needs to be deployed in various counties, so it is impossible to follow Liu Jian to serve for a long time, but in the early days when Liu Jian went to the county office, he could follow Liu Jian. Go and observe the situation.

After the preparations were completed, the four tigers of Zhuo County, plus Su Shuangyi and others, went to the county office to take office.

……

Zhang Fei's family has a house nearby, which is a proper gate of wealth. Everyone has been honored by Zhang's family, and Liu Jian and others have a decent place to stay.

After settling in properly, Liu Jian went to the county office to report according to the agreed time.

The county guard Lu Qian summoned him in the main hall and asked him some things in detail.

"I heard that you, like Bogui, are Lu Shangshu's disciples?"

"When Jian was in Goushi Mountain, he was grateful to his master for not abandoning him and not accepting a fool as his disciple."

Lu Qian nodded and said: "When I was in Beijing in the past, I was also close to Lu Shangshu. Lu Shangshu is well-known as a Confucian in the world, and most of his disciples have achieved success. Even Bogui is not the best. Although you have not been crowned, you have achieved nothing so far, do you have resentment in your heart?"

Why doesn't this person open which pot and lift which pot?
Liu Jian shook his head naturally: "No."

"Why?"

"To benefit the country, not to seek wealth and honor." Liu Jian replied naturally.

"very good."

Lu Qian nodded with satisfaction: "Young, calm and introverted, resourceful, and educated by famous masters, although the road is blocked for a while, it will eventually become a tool."

"Your Majesty's absurd praise, I dare not speak."

Liu Jian also had a good impression of this prefect Lv. It is said that this man was born in Qingzhou, he was a descendant of Qi Lushi, he behaved methodically, was not radical, and had an easy-going personality. When he saw him today, he was indeed quite consistent with the rumors.

"Mr. Liu Shaolang, please sit down."

Lu Qian waved to Liu Jian kindly, motioning him to sit beside him. "

"Don't dare. Although Jian has not been crowned, Master Lu has gifted him with the watch character Deran, which will only be used after Double Ten."

Lu Qian was stunned when he heard the words: "In this way, is a certain name commensurate with the word table?"

"I sincerely wish you."

Afterwards, Liu Jian sat aside according to Lu Qian's instructions and listened to his arrangements.

"The recommendation letter written by Bogui to a certain person has already explained the matter of Xianbei. I don't want you to be so young and have such a careful mind. You can infer the great changes in Xianbei from the words and actions of a barbarian. It is really amazing. amazing."

Liu Jian said humbly: "It's just a coincidence, it can't be true, and the governor is wrong."

Seeing that Liu Jian knew how to advance and retreat, Lu Qian immediately laughed. He stroked his beard and said: "The person who can guess the life and death of Tan Shihuai one step ahead of the big man scouts, I have lived for nearly fifty years, and I have never met a person by chance. .”

Afterwards, Lu Qian's face straightened: "You are talented, and you are a student of Lord Lu. I can't neglect you when you come to our county office. , you need to pay 400 million yuan to Luoyang Xiyuan to repair the palace as usual, you must have heard of this rule, right?"

Regarding the matter of selling an official in Xiyuan, Liu Jian naturally had a clear heart, but the governor of Lu County still had his heart for the court, and he still saved the emperor's face by saying that the money for buying an official was mortgaged to repair the palace.

But the question is, what is the significance of being an official these days and mortgage the palace?Could it be possible to commit a crime and go abroad?Even if you go abroad, where can you go... go to the grassland and Xianbei to let the horses go?

The palace must have been repaired, but you can't get the mortgage back.

This Mr. Lu's lying ability is average, and his excuses are too far-fetched.

"The meaning of Fujun is frugal and clear. Liu Jian joined Fujun not for fame and wealth, but just to be able to contribute a little to the Han court. He is worthy of being a loyal and filial person. It doesn't matter whether the official position is high or low."

"Okay, I listen to Bogui, you are not only studying scriptures with Lu Shangshu, but also good at martial arts. If you fight Xianbei this time, you also want to contribute to the country and serve in the battlefield?"

"Right on my mind."

Lu Qian was very satisfied when he saw him being so upbeat: "It just so happened that Cao Cao, a soldier in our county office, told me that there is a lack of a deputy historian to help, of course it is the position of Zuo Shi. Would you like to fill the vacancy? It's in our county. To be a two hundred shi Bing Cao Vice-Histor?"

In good conscience, this deputy historian who is in charge of assisting Cao Cao in charge of the soldiers is really just a small official in the eyes of the upper class of the big man, and his rank and salary range from [-] to [-] shi.

But for the local tyrants, this is also a good position, at least as an auxiliary soldier in the county, Cao Zhangbing, will certainly be of great help to his family's career.

Therefore, this is also an important place to go. Every time a local county guard takes office, the subordinates will naturally appoint their trusted confidantes. It is generally held by the Haoyou people who are relatively powerful in the local area.

So, regardless of the two hundred stone officials, Lu Qian was willing to share it with Liu Jian, which can be said to be a great face to Gongsun Zan, and it also indirectly proves that he appreciates Liu Jian.

"Thanks to the lord's great love, the last official should do his best to assist the lord in handling all the affairs within his duties."

"Okay, don't be polite, you and I have the relationship between Lu Ziqian and Hou Boying, so entrusting you with this official position can be regarded as a slight grievance to you, but if you can make meritorious deeds, your future future is beyond my control. "

"Yes!"

"Liu Zuoshi, you came from a long way. I shouldn't have asked for your words today, but it is related to the people of the Northland and thousands of people. You need to know the pros and cons of this, so I ask you to interrogate you and Gongsun Bogui." About the Hu thief, tell this old man in detail, don't miss a single word."

Liu Jian knew that although Gongsun Zan wrote letters to Lu Qian and his father-in-law and the prefect, although he could give a general outline, he could not describe it in detail, so Lu Qian had to listen to him to understand.

So, he told Lu Qian about the matter in detail as much as possible.

Lu Qian nodded while listening.

After finishing speaking, Liu Jian asked Lu Qian: "Mayor, in your opinion, if the matter of Xianbei's split is moved to the court, will the court support sending troops to the frontier fortress?"

Lu Qian pondered for a long time before slowly opening his mouth and said: "A certain person has superficial eyes and doesn't see too deeply. I don't know about the others, but I know that the emperor will definitely support sending troops."
