Chapter 201 0198 [Determine the outcome by scientific examination! 】

One hundred people, occupying six positions.

Can you not roll it?

Besides, compared to the Kaogong of later generations, this is nothing compared to the big one at the moment.

Han Zhen picked up an account book.

On the thick book jacket, there is a line of large characters written "Yidu County Household Register·Outer City East·Volume Three".

After opening the account, the first thing that catches the eye is the title page.

On the title page, written in extremely beautiful plum-blossom regular script, are the general rules for the entire account.

The so-called common practice is called the common practice.

It is the writing content and compilation style of a book, using the most concise and clear words to describe the general content.

Below the general rules is a directory. Each directory is a street, and it is clear at a glance how many pages there are.

For example, pages one to seventeen record Huanyi Lane.

In the future, when officials look up information, they can quickly find the information they are looking for by just glancing at the catalog information on the title page, which greatly improves the efficiency of handling errands.

After flipping through several household registers in succession, Han Zhen said with a satisfied smile: "This job was done well, thank you for your contribution. You have been working hard these days, so I will allow you two days of vacation, not included in the rest, so you can have a good rest." Rest!”

Liu Mi is greedy and greedy for money, but that cannot deny his talent.

In fact, if he could stand out from hundreds of thousands of candidates, become a Jinshi in high school, and reach the fifth rank before the age of 50, and be appointed as the general judge of Qingzhou, no one would believe that he is a fool.

Look at Changzhi County. After so many years, it is still a seventh-grade magistrate.

Liu Mi's behavior before was just because the people in power were stupid, which led to the entire officialdom environment being like this.

Officials of the Song Dynasty were elected every three years.

There is a small test every year and a big test every three years. Based on the performance during the term, the final decision is whether to be promoted or transferred.

However, by the time of Song Huizong, everything changed.

Officials were transferred extremely frequently, and very few had served for three years. It was common for officials to be transferred to other places by the imperial court within half a year of taking office.

In fact, after walking most of the way to take office, he suddenly received a transfer order and had no choice but to rush to another place of appointment.

Under such circumstances, how do officials govern the people?
Not to mention doing practical things, it is already good to be able to sort out the intricate relationships among the gentry and wealthy families under the rule.

Any policy that benefits the people cannot be achieved overnight. It can take as little as one or two years, as long as three to five years, or even longer to see results.

For example, if people are encouraged to reclaim wasteland, it will take at least a year for the land to be reclaimed to bring in profits.

Moreover, in ancient times, traveling far away was an extremely painful thing. It often took two to three months, or even half a year, and there were tragedies where officials died of illness on the road.

What should I do?
Just try to make money.

Wouldn't it be nice to make more money, take care of things, and be transferred back to Tokyo to become a court official?
There is no need to suffer the hardship of traveling by boat and train.

This is one of the reasons why Changzhi County is so determined to be transferred back to Tokyo City to be promoted to a court official.

"Thank you magistrate!"

Liu Mi let out a long breath, knowing that he had passed the test.

Ever since he personally killed Lu Shi and joined the army, he had completely boarded Han Zhen's pirate ship, and he would definitely not be able to go back to Zhao Song.

He killed an official of the imperial court without permission and was still a sixth-grade civil servant. Even if Zhao Ji refused to cut off his head due to the ancestral precepts, he would still have to be exiled to Yazhou.

Being exiled to Yazhou is almost the same as death.

What's more, he had already revised a book and returned to his hometown a few days ago. Counting the time, his family may have arrived in Hongzhou, and they will arrive in Yidu in ten days and a half.

He and Zhao Ting are both human beings. Don't you know that Han Zhen spared their lives because there was still some use in saving their lives?

His life was saved, but where was Guan'er?
After being an official and holding power, especially a high-ranking local official like Yizhou Tongpan, Liu Mi would not be willing to let him go back to being a commoner.

If you want to retain your official position, you must demonstrate your talents.

During this time together, he thought he had figured out Han Zhen's temperament.

This is a person who does not stick to trivial matters.

As long as he has outstanding abilities and obeys the rules, Han Zhen won't care about some minor shortcomings.

"If nothing happens to the county magistrate, I will resign first."

Liu Mi cupped his hands, a trace of exhaustion flashed in his eyes.

In order to continue to be an official, he was willing to go all out. During this period, he would wake up early and work late at night, working on errands with the subordinates and forgetting to eat and sleep.

"Ah."

Han Zhen nodded.

Suddenly, a deafening shout erupted outside the government office, and the sound seemed to come from the outer city.

Faintly, the rapid sound of horse hooves can also be heard.

Han Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, exuding a strong evil aura from all over his body, and said in a deep voice: "Come here, go see what's going on outside!"

Hearing this, the two on-duty officials outside the lobby immediately ran towards the government office.

Liu Mi and Zhao Ting looked at each other with shock and fear in their hearts.

Han Zhen's eyes were sharp and his brain was spinning rapidly.

Mutiny or civil commotion?

If you think about it carefully, whether it is a mutiny or a civil commotion, it is unlikely.

While he was thinking, the two officials ran back from the government office with ecstatic expressions on their faces, shouting excitedly: "County magistrate, good news! Great victory in Shouguang and Changle, [-] killed and [-] captured!"

call!
Hearing the good news, Liu Mi and Zhao Ting immediately heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately bowed together and said: "Congratulations, Chief, destroy the Dare Chi Army!"

There was excitement in their eyes, and they were filled with joy from the bottom of their hearts.

Now that we have boarded Han Zhen's pirate ship, it is natural that the road will end in darkness.

The stronger Han Zhen is, the happier they will be.Han Zhen's evil aura dissipated from his body, and he gave a light hum with his usual expression.

The great victories in Shouguang and Changle were within his expectation, so he had no worries in his heart.

Fifteen hundred elite infantry, plus more than [-] heavy cavalry, if they can't take down the little Zhang Wanxian, then Nie Dong and Liu Qi don't have to come back.

Not long after, three veteran Qingzhou Army soldiers quickly stepped into the gate of the government office and went straight to the lobby.

Han Zhen had the impression that the leader was Luo Jing, a captain of the scout camp.

At this moment, Luo Jing was holding a wooden box in his hand. After walking into the lobby, he bowed and said: "Report to the county magistrate, Shouguang and Changle were victorious. Six thousand were killed in formation and fifty thousand were captured! The thief was killed by ten thousand immortals, and his head is here. Please take a look at the county magistrate!”

As he spoke, he took a few steps forward and respectfully presented the wooden box on the hall table.

Hearing this, Han Zhen reached out and opened the wooden box, revealing a head pickled with lime.

Although he was dead, his face still showed a cruel look, and his sinister eyes were glaring with anger.

He has no bad taste and doesn't like looking at dead people's heads.

As for whether this person was Zhang Wanxian, Han Zhen didn't think Nie Dong and Liu Qi had the guts to lie to him.

After taking a look, he closed the wooden box and asked, "Has the Beihai Navy noticed it?"

Luo Jing answered truthfully: "Reporting to the county magistrate, when we rushed to Changle, the Beihai Navy had already evacuated."

"Ok!"

Han Zhen nodded, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

It is not difficult to take down Shouguang and Changle, but they did it quickly and beautifully without alerting the enemy, which reflects the abilities of Nie Dong and Liu Qi.

As it turned out, he was right.

"The county magistrate, Nie Dutong and Shi Shenjun all asked their subordinates to bring back a letter."

Luo Jing took out two letters from his arms and presented them again.

After receiving the letter, Han Zhen checked the paint and self-sealing as usual. After confirming that it was correct, he opened it and checked it.

This letter is from Nie Dong. It mainly asks him how Shouguang and Changle should deploy their defenses, how many troops should be left behind, etc.

After thinking for a moment, Han Zhen took out his pen and paper and began to reply.

Fifty thousand prisoners of war from the daredevil army may sound like a lot, but in fact, there are only 3 to [-] soldiers actually used to fight.

In the letter, Han Zhen ordered Nie Dong to select those who were strong and brave among the [-] to [-] brave soldiers and escort them back to Yidu. All the remaining prisoners of war were handed over to Shi Wenhui.

In addition, [-] Qingzhou Army infantry were left behind in the two counties.

Three hundred infantry are enough.

Don't forget, both counties have a large number of former prisoners of war from the Guangchi Army. These people have actually been in battle and killed people.

If an enemy army attacks the city, as long as the reward is in place and the ordnance is fired, a garrison of thousands of people can be organized immediately.

Finally, Han Zhen ordered them to return to Yidu three days later with prisoners of war from the Wuwei Army and Ganchi Army.

After writing his reply to Nie Dong, Han Zhen picked up Shi Wenhui's letter again.

This letter is very long, only twelve words in summary.

To appease prisoners of war, gather fugitive households, do light corvee and low taxes, and develop business.

The dare-chi army led by Zhang Wanxian was like passing locusts, killing all the officials, gentry and landlords in Shouguang and Changle counties. The degree of destruction was even more complete than that in Linzi County before.

But this is a good thing for Han Zhen.

Today, the two counties are almost a blank slate.

As an official, you can write freely and express your ambitions without any constraints.

After quickly writing a reply, Han Zhen handed the two letters to Luo Jing and ordered: "Hurry up and send them to Shouguang and Changle!"

"Order!"

Luo Jing placed the two letters close to his body, then hurried out of the lobby with two of his men.

Watching their departing figures, Han Zhen smiled at Liu Mi and said, "Liu Tong, please go back and rest, and call the subordinate officials here by the way."

"The officer will leave!"

Liu Mi bowed, turned and left.

Soon, one hundred subordinate officials transferred from Linzi County entered the lobby one after another.

For a time, the originally spacious and empty lobby was suddenly filled to the brim.

Each of these subordinate officials had dark circles under their eyes and looked depressed, but their eyes were bright and bright.

At this moment, the subordinate officials looked at Han Zhen with burning eyes, excited and a little uneasy.

They naturally heard the shouts of the scouts just now.

With great victories in Shouguang and Changle, the opportunity to become an official has come!
Looking around at the crowd, Han Zhen smiled slightly, patted the wooden box with one hand, and said: "You should also know that Zhang Wanxian was executed, and Shouguang and Changle counties have fallen into my hands. I promised before, There are six official vacancies in the two counties, and now is the time to cash in.”

hiss!
In the lobby, the eyes of the subordinates became even hotter, and their breathing became rapid and heavy.

"but……"

Han Zhen changed his voice and pretended to be confused: "However, you all performed well in the previous errands, which really makes it difficult for me to make a choice. Therefore, I decided to hold a lock-in examination in three days. The outcome will be determined by a scientific examination. , the top six will be given official uniforms and will take office soon! Do you have any opinions?"

"I am humble and have no objection!"

A hundred people all raised their hands in response.

Lock the hall test.

The outcome was determined by the imperial examination.

No one could find fault with it, they just felt that Han Zhen's move was fair and just and in line with what they had in mind.
