Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 10 Chengdu Order

"You Zai came to Shu, and he knows a lot about Shu." Liu Zhang changed the topic and gave Dong He a test question: "What do you think of the customs of Yitu?"

Hearing this question, Dong He put down the wine glass in his hand. He knew that this was Liu Zhang's test for him. After thinking for a moment, he spoke.

"Although He has been in Shu for a short time, he has some understanding of the customs of Shu. Let me give you a try."

"The land of Shu is closed off, and the world is currently in chaos, but there are few military disasters in the land of Shu. In addition, the land of Shu is rich in products, so the custom of luxury prevails."

"A powerful businessman's family dresses like a prince, and eats and drinks like jade and fine wine. Especially when it comes to weddings and funerals, almost all the family wealth is spent on extravagant arrangements, which can be described as extravagant."

"What You Zai said is true. The customs in Shu have always been extravagant." If you can see the problem, then ask for the solution, step by step. Liu Zhang continued to ask: "According to You Zai's opinion, how can we change the customs and return to simplicity and frugality?" .”

"Yi He's shallow knowledge." Dong He thought quickly and gave the answer: "When the superiors follow the example, such as the prefect of Shu County, Chengdu Ling and other positions, these parent officials of Shu County should select simple and frugal officials and use their own Set an example of frugal behavior, and follow etiquette as the code of conduct. In this way, the upper and lower are integrated, and the atmosphere should change."

Liu Zhang nodded while listening. He was worthy of being a famous figure in history, and what he said was clear and logical.Why is the atmosphere in Shu so extravagant? Of course, the upper-level officials in Shu are not upright. The atmosphere at the top is bad, and the atmosphere below is even worse.

He gave his approval and praise: "Youzai's words are very good."

"I wonder if Youzai is willing to take up the post of Chengdu Order, become a role model for the people, and change the customs of Shu."

The state government of Yizhou was moved from Mianzhu to Chengdu by Liu Yan, the former Yizhou pastor. Liu Yan died of illness before the candidate for the Chengdu order was decided. Liu Zhang had been undecided before and who should occupy this key position. He had just When I traveled through time, I had too few confidants, so I would rather leave them empty than give them away.

Now I'm fine, I just fell asleep and came to the pillow. It's perfect for Dong He to be the governor of Chengdu.

Historically, Dong He did a good job as the magistrate of Chengdu. Although historically he first served as the magistrate of Niu Chang and Jiangyuan County before serving as the magistrate of Chengdu, Liu Zhang thought about it and realized that he should be able to do it in one step. There is no problem, Dong He can leave his name in the history of history, and he can also get the praise of the No. 1 Zhuge villager under three generations.

Zhuge has certified that there will be high-quality products, except of course Ma Su.

Secondly, Dong He, as a native of Nanjun, lived in Yizhou. He had no roots and was innocent. He happened to be used by Liu Zhang. Chengdu was the prefectural government of Yizhou. If a Shu native was appointed as the governor, Liu Zhang would not be at ease. He would have to sleep with his eyes open. Eyes, you have to tell Pang Que that he likes to kill people in his dreams, so don’t get close to him at night and stay away from him.

"Why did you appoint the county magistrate of my state when you first met me? Aren't you afraid that I would not do well?" Dong He was a little shocked. The position of the Chengdu magistrate was too important. Now that the world is in dispute, Chengdu is equivalent to the capital of Yizhou. , this Liu Shijun handed over this position to him for the first time when they met, which made him a little scared.

Liu Zhang smiled, stepped forward and took Dong He's hand, and said sincerely: "Don't trust people you employ, and don't trust people you doubt. Although I met Youzai for the first time, we hit it off right away. I know that the position of Chengdu Commandery must be with Youzai." Let’s do it, don’t say it’s an order from Chengdu, given time, I, the governor of Shu County, would also like You Zai, so please don’t refuse.”

Regarding the customs of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Zhang expressed his deep hatred. Men holding hands and sleeping with each other was the best way to win over people's hearts. However, as a modern man, it would be difficult for him to change his views.

"Your Majesty." Dong He was moved and his eyes were slightly red. He originally thought that he could only seek official positions such as county magistrate and county magistrate. He did not expect that Liu Zhang would become the county magistrate as soon as he took action, or the county magistrate of Chengdu. It had to be him.

He took two steps back, bowed down, accepted the official position of the Chengdu Order, changed his name to Liu Zhang, and solemnly stated: "Dong He will live up to Duke Ming's expectations and change the customs of Shu."

Liu Zhang helped Dong He up and confirmed what he said: "I can rest easy now that I have a young commander as the commander of Chengdu. I think it won't be long before I come here and the customs in Shu will change."

After helping Dong He up, the two sat down again. Liu Zhang ordered Pang Que who was standing beside him: "Ziman, go to the treasury and get one hundred gold, no, two hundred gold. Pack it up and let the young slaughterer take it with you later." Walk."

"No." Pang Que accepted the order and left.

"Ming Gong, you will not receive salary for no merit." Dong He declined. It was hard for him to accept the fact that he was being paid before he even started working.

Liu Zhang smiled happily: "Youzai, I didn't say this was a reward. You and I got to know each other today. Although we are kings and ministers by title, I regard you as a friend in my heart. I have hundreds of clan members. Moving west here will definitely bring you something." "As a friend, when a friend is in trouble, I can't say anything. If I refuse, wouldn't it be unfair to me? You don't want to do this, Youzai."

"Come on, have another drink."
-
Driving the deer cart back to the clan camp, Dong He felt a little unbelievable when he thought of everything that happened in the afternoon. It was so smooth to apply for an official position.

This Liu Shijun's acting style was not in line with the rumors at all, and he was almost misled by the rumors.

When they arrived at the gate of the camp, Dong He saw his third uncle Dong Ping waiting at the gate of the camp. He immediately stopped the carriage, got out of the carriage and walked towards Dong Ping.

"Youzai, you can see Lord Liu today." Before Dong He could speak, Dong Ping asked. The situation in the clan was not very good.

Dong He smiled: "Third uncle, I met Liu Shijun today."

"That's good, that's good, we finally met." Dong Ping also became happy. He was confident that as long as he could meet Liu Zhang, he believed that with Dong He's talent and learning, he would be able to get an official position.

Without immediately asking Dong He what official position he had obtained, Dong Ping asked about Liu Zhang's character: "How is Liu Shijun's character?"

Dong He carefully phrased his words: "Liu Shijun is a man who loves people dearly, treats virtuous people with courtesy, and is suddenly generous, just like the great ancestor."

Dong Ping was a little surprised that the Qianliju from his clan had such a high opinion of Liu Zhang. He shook his head: "It seems that being famous is not as good as meeting. We were almost misled by the rumors."

He believed in the vision of his Qianliju, and then asked Dong He about the official position he had obtained: "Since Liu Shijun is such a person, I should give you the position of county magistrate."

In the Han Dynasty, counties could be divided into large counties and small counties based on population.A county with more than [-] households is called a large county, and the chief is a county magistrate, with a rank ranging from [-] to [-] stones.A county with less than [-] households is called a small county, and the chief is called the county magistrate, with a rank between [-] and [-].

In Dong Ping's view, Liu Zhang was such a good person that he should be able to give Dong He the position of county magistrate. Although Dong Ping believed that Dong He's talent and learning could be used not only as a county magistrate, but also as a county magistrate or even a prefect. Yes, but for the first meeting, Liu Zhang would not give him a too high position. He would have to test Dong He's performance before being promoted.

"Third uncle, Commander Liu asked me to serve as the commander of Chengdu." Dong He answered truthfully.

"Chengdu order?" Dong Ping asked in a slightly louder voice.

He wondered whether he was too old, deaf, and heard wrongly. This was the state government of Yizhou, and it was given to Dong He just after meeting him.To do this kind of thing, Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang not only needed to know people well, but also needed a certain amount of courage.

Dong He stepped forward to help Dong Ping: "It's windy outside, Third Uncle, let's go in and talk."

"Liu Shijun not only asked me to serve as the commander of Chengdu, but also said that as a friend, out of the kindness of a friend, he would give me two hundred gold to alleviate our current poverty."

"Youzai, this is a wise envoy. You should devote yourself to your service and make a difference to repay the kindness of knowing me."

"only."
