Chapter 171 0168 [Become a subordinate first]

The bullock cart slowly stopped in front of the government office, and two old Confucians each got out of the cart with a middle-aged man.

Ma Yanmin and Su Wenhuai looked at each other without saying anything.

"My nephew has met Duke Su."

"This junior has met Ma Gong."

Ma Yundi and the middle-aged man from the Su family saluted respectfully.

This middle-aged man is Su Wenhuai's second son, named Su Zhaode.

Although he is the second son, he is over thirty years old.

The official on duty in front of the government yamen obviously knew Ma Yanmin and the others, so he stepped forward and said, "What are you two doing here?"

Su Wenhuai didn't dare to take it too seriously, he cupped his hands and said, "We'll go to the county magistrate to discuss matters, and I'd like to trouble you to inform me."

"The two members wait outside."

After the soap official finished speaking, he turned and walked into the government office.

Since Han Zhen came into power in Yidu, the servants, big and small, swept away the sloppy style.

Without him, the butcher's knife is sharp enough.

The heads of the dozen or so officials the day before yesterday really frightened them.

Moreover, Han Zhen proposed a series of reform measures yesterday, firstly doubling the monthly salaries of subordinate staff several times, and then implementing a system of elimination for the lowest positions, so that those who are capable will go up and those who are mediocre will go down.

In the past, no matter how well the subordinate staff did, they had a solid job.

But it is different now, if the performance is not good, there will be a risk of being fired.

This made the subordinate officials feel a sense of urgency.

You must know that after the current salary increase, the lowest subordinate staff has a monthly salary of [-] yuan, while those such as Dutou and Yasi have a monthly salary of more than three guan.

Even if there is no extortion, it is enough to feed a family of five old snacks, and there is still some leftovers.

What's more, there are benefits during holidays and festivals, and extra rewards for good performance.

With such generous treatment, naturally no one wants to be dismissed.

Therefore, all the subordinates, large and small, were tense and dedicated to their errands, and no one wanted to be the first unlucky person to be dismissed.

At this time, in the lobby, Zhao Ting was reporting to Han Zhen.

"Inspired by the county magistrate, government officials, big and small, have voluntarily donated their land properties to do their bit."

As Zhao Ting said, he took out a list from his sleeve pocket and presented it to the court with both hands.

Glancing at the list on the court case, Han Zhen half-smiled but said, "Are you sure it's voluntary?"

Hearing this, Zhao Ting said solemnly, "It's absolutely true!"

Han Zhen picked up the list: "Since it's their heart, I can't refuse, so I accept it. Go back and tell them, I, Han Zhen, will never forget this friendship."

"Your Majesty, let's go."

Zhao Ting cupped his hands and turned to leave.

As soon as he left, Liu Mi hurriedly stepped in.

Liu Mi cut to the chase and said, "County magistrate, there are not enough servants in household Cao, can you allocate some more staff to the lower officials?"

The errand assigned to him by Han Zhen was a big project.

After a busy day yesterday, Liu Mi realized that she wanted to rely on herself and Hu Cao's subordinates, and she didn't know that it would take a year of the monkey to complete it.

Besides, the servants of Hu Cao also have things to do on weekdays.

Han Zhen pondered and said: "Tomorrow at the latest, there will be a hundred subordinate officials at your disposal."

He had already written the letter the night before, and it was handed over to the post station early yesterday morning to be sent to Linzi County.

Calculating the time, the people from Linzi County should be arriving soon.

The county government in Linzi County has maintained so many subordinate staff, and now they can finally be put to use.

In the future, the economic, political and military focus will gradually shift to Yidu.

Even if the whole of Shandong is conquered in the future, the status of Yidu County will still not change.

Qingzhou is one of the ancient Kyushu, the throat of Shandong, and a strategic location.

As long as Qingzhou is occupied, the east and west of Shandong can be blocked, and the advance can be attacked, and the retreat can be defended.

Secondly, there are abundant products. Guangling has salt, Linqu has horses, and Qiancheng has iron.

Salt, iron, and horses, with these three things, even if the army is defeated for a while, there is still a chance to make a comeback.

Hearing that there would be hundreds of subordinate officials at his disposal in the near future, Liu Mi couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I will resign first."

"and many more!"

Han Zhen stopped him and took out an official document: "This is the official document on the transfer of the Wuwei and Zhenhai armies. It still needs Liu Tongfan's signature and seal."

Hearing this, Liu Mi stepped to the front of the hall case, took a pen to sign his name without looking at the content of the document, then took out the official seal and stamped it heavily.

This transfer order official document was written by Zhao Ting, and it also had the signature and seal of Liu Mi, the general judge.

Even if Luo Sha and Yu Chaohuan had suspicions in their hearts, the low status of warriors forced them to obey.

Otherwise, Liu Qi, armed with the order document, could kill them both on the spot without triggering a mutiny.

Civil servants are different from military attachés. Even if a civil servant commits a minor offense, he must be tried by the Criminal Division and then reported to the central government for disposal by the cabinet and the emperor.

During this period, the Criminal Division only had the power to hear cases but not to make judgments.

But the military officer is different. Even the first army of the fifth rank has command envoys, and they don't even need transshipment envoys.

After the killing, the Criminal Division didn't even bother to investigate.

The emperor doesn't care, and the court officials don't even care.

It's just a warrior, if you kill it, you will kill it.

That's why, when Luo Sha and Yu Chaohuan faced Zhao Ting and the others, they bowed and bowed their knees, willing to be lackeys.

There is no way, civil servants hold the power of life and death.

At this moment, an official quickly walked into the hall and reported: "County magistrate, Ma Yuanwai and Su Yuanwai are asking to see each other."

"Call them in."

Han Zhen gave an order.

"Yes!"

The official responded and turned around to go outside the government office.

"Except for the two members, the county magistrate is invited."

"It's work."

Ma Yanmin smiled and cupped his hands, and was about to enter the government office when he heard the sound of a horse's hoof coming from far to near.

The four of them turned their heads to look, and saw a handsome young man galloping towards them on horseback.

It was Liu Kai who came.

Approaching the government office, Liu Qi reined in the reins, and the horse stopped suddenly.

Afterwards, he jumped off the horse with a graceful leap, and strode into the government office.

Seeing this, Su Zhaode asked curiously, "Father, who is this son?"

Su Wenhuai explained: "This son's name is Liu Kai, he is Liu Zhongwu's son, Xie Boding's nephew, and is now the commander of a battalion in the Qingzhou Army."

As soon as these words came out, a hint of horror flashed in the eyes of Su Zhaode and Ma Yundi.

"Father……"

Just as Ma Yundi was about to speak, Ma Yanbang stopped him with his eyes.

Seeing this, Ma Yundi's heart trembled, he kept silent, and silently followed his father into the government office.

In the lobby, Han Zhen was discussing matters with Liu Qi.

The four of Su Wenhuai stood aside wisely, waiting quietly.

"This is the transfer order document, please keep it. As I said again, if they are wise, they will save their lives." Han Zhen said, handing over the document.

Make the best use of everything.

With their relationship and connections, they might be able to get more God Arm Crossbows and Three Bow Bed Crossbows.

Liu Kai nodded and said, "I save it."

Han Zhen warned: "This is the first time you lead the army alone, so guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and don't let me down."

"Don't worry, the county magistrate, the general will not disgrace his fate!"

Liu Kai's voice was choked up, and his eyes were full of gratitude.

Although Wuwei and Zhenhai were corrupt, they were an army of tens of thousands of people.

You know, the Luchuan Army controlled by his father Liu Zhongwu only had more than 1 people.

With such an army of ten thousand people, Han Zhen was so confident in giving him command. This trust moved him beyond measure.

Han Zhen waved his hand: "Don't act like a little girl, just go."

"I will retire at the end!"

Liu Kai bowed and saluted, then turned and left.

When Liu Kai was sent away, Han Zhen knew the reason and asked, "What wind brought the two officers here?"

"Meet the county magistrate."

The four of them bowed together and saluted.

Ma Yundi and Su Zhaode took the opportunity to quietly look at Han Zhen and saw that although he was young, he was sitting behind the hall table and had a powerful presence.

Glancing at the two of them, Han Zhen asked, "Who are these two?"

Ma Yanmin introduced: "This is Lao Zhuo's eldest son, Ma Yundi."

"The family dog ​​Su Zhaode."

Han Zhen chuckled and said, "Both of them are equally talented and clear-minded. I guess they must be great talents with a wealth of knowledge."

It stands to reason that both Su Zhaode and Ma Yundi are more than one round older than Han Zhen.

But Han Zhen said these words without any sense of violation.

"The county magistrate is absurd."

Su Wenhuai laughed at himself: "I'm ashamed to say that Gouzi has been doing nothing at home, which has broken my heart, so I came here today to ask the county magistrate for an errand."

Ma Yanmin on the side echoed, "I also have the same thoughts, I hope the county magistrate will make it happen."

Han Zhen pondered and said: "Nowadays when the government is employing people, they are recruiting talents everywhere. If the two of you don't dislike them, you will be among the household cao, and you can be any subordinate!"

Subordinates?

Ma Yanmin and Su Wenhuai looked normal, without any disturbance.

But Su Zhaode and Ma Yundi are not so deep in the city, their expressions changed, and their eyes were full of indignation.

The subordinate officials are lowly!

For poor people, it may be an unattainable envy, but such a wealthy family like them would rather die than be a subordinate, it is simply a shame to their ancestors.

"Thank you so much, county magistrate!"

Ma Yanmin bowed and bowed with gratitude on his face.

Gee.

It is said that people are old and ghosts, and this city will not do without admiration.

Seeing the angry expression on his second son's face, Su Wenhuai gave him a hard look, and scolded, "You bastard, you really don't know what's good and what's wrong, I don't want to thank the county magistrate."

"Thank you so much, magistrate!"

Su Zhaode moved his lips, but finally suppressed the anger in his heart and bowed respectfully to thank him.

Han Zhen watched the scene in front of him with great interest. After the two of them bowed and thanked him, he calmly said: "Don't think that I am humiliating you two. You should have heard about the reorganization of the government and subordinate staff yesterday. Is that enough?"

Ma Yanmin smiled and complimented: "I have heard it a little bit. The county magistrate is clever, and he pays equal attention to kindness and power. He should be able to sweep away the cunning and loose wind of the subordinates, and return the people of the county to a bright future."

Han Zhen said seriously: "Since your two families have surrendered, I will not hide it from you. If you want to be an official under me in the future, you must start from the subordinate staff."

Basic level experience is essential.

Han Zhen doesn't want some mediocrity with high-mindedness and low-handedness.

hiss!
Ma Yanmin and Su Wenhuai gasped, feeling overwhelmed.

Both of them are human beings, and they immediately heard the meaning of Han Zhen's words.

The point of these words is not that if you want to be an official, you must first be a subordinate.

Rather, subordinate staff can also be officials!
What a way to draw the bottom line, this is to cut off the roots of scholars!

At that time on the bullock cart, he still wondered, how dare Han Zhen?
Until this moment, Mayanmin finally understood why Han Zhen was so strong and violent during the banquet last night.

The subordinate officials are officials, which is Han Zhen's confidence and support for daring to kill the king and reopen the king's family.
