Soldiers come to the world

"Big sister is worried about Princess Jiangdong!"

The little Baoniang was very aware of Tao Zhan's troubles at this time, but the matter of Princess Jiangdong had nothing to do with her, and she didn't ask too much, but the maids always told her about it, and she knew that this day was coming.

Tao Zhan shook his head, "At this point, there is nothing to worry about. I just don't know what the general thinks. In the past two years, he has been busy with wars. I don't spend much time with him."

The little Baoniang laughed, "Actually, don't worry, elder sister, he is not the kind of playboy who spends his days flirting with each other. When he sees a new love, he forgets the old love. His mind is on fighting for the world. I still remember that one day in the middle of the night, he suddenly got up and paced back and forth in the room. I asked him why he didn’t sleep. He said that he was thinking about the military rations. Look, he couldn’t even sleep. How could he have much thought to chase after women? ?”

Tao Zhan silently, she has thought about all these things, but most of the things she thinks of are not confident, it is better to say it from others, she said with a wry smile: "I have figured out a lot of things, with his status, The dozen or so women around me are also normal, but "

Tao Zhan didn't want to say what happened next, but she was always inexplicably troubled in her heart. The root cause was that her natal family's status was not high, which made her always worry about her own status and her son's future. Not wanting others to know, Tao Zhan got up and said with a smile, "Let's go! I'll go barbecue with you."

The little Bao Niang happily followed her out of the room, and asked, "Does elder sister also like to eat barbecue?"

"I don't like eating very much."

Tao Zhan said with a smile: "But I like grilling. I used to hide in the yard with my brother and secretly grill fish." [

Looking at the green smoke curling up in the yard and the stars in the sky, Tao Zhan recalled the happy years when she was a girl, and the worries accumulated in her heart gradually disappeared.

Early the next morning, in a long corridor in the state government, Tao Zheng followed a guard and walked quickly to Liu Jing's official room. He had received a letter from the state government asking him to come to Xiangyang. The elephant boat came to Xiangyang together.

Although Tao Zheng is Tao Zhan's elder brother and the only member of the Tao family who has entered the official career, he did not become successful because of his sister's relationship. As soon as he was promoted, he was still just a small county lieutenant.

A few days ago, businessmen in Wuchang made trouble. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to go home. He slept in the county office with his clothes on at night. Just as the situation subsided, the letter from Xiangyang arrived.

Tao Zheng thought he was going to report the troubles caused by the businessmen, but he was wrong when he thought about it. Even if he wanted to report, it should be the county magistrate and the prefect to report, and it was not his turn to come to Xiangyang. Tao Zheng was confused and thought a lot. Puzzled.

At this time, they came to Liu Jing's official room, and the guards reported: "Report to Zhou Mu, County Captain Tao has arrived!"

"Please come in!" Liu Jing's voice came from the room.

Tao Zheng walked into the room quickly, and saw Liu Jing and Xu Shu sitting at the table discussing something, Tao Zheng quickly stepped forward and knelt down, bowed and bowed, "See Zhou Mu and Chang Shi!"

Generally speaking, the etiquette mentioned below is very particular. It is not necessary to kneel and salute all the time. It is necessary to distinguish the occasion. There is a very important principle called equivalence of posture. For example, Liu Jing and Xu Shu are standing in front of the map. In this case, Tao Zheng didn't need to kneel down to salute, but just bowed down.

At this time, Liu Jing and Xu Shu were sitting on the table, and the Han and Tang dynasties were kneeling, and there were no chairs. In this case, if Tao Zheng stood and bowed again, there would be a kind of condescending pressure, which was obviously for his superiors. There is no respect, so Tao Zheng must also kneel down, make an equal gesture with the other party, and then bow down to salute. This is the origin of the kneeling salute, which is actually a salute of equal gesture.

This is not the same as kneeling in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were chairs, and the superiors were superior, while the inferiors knelt down to salute. This was unequal.

Liu Jing waved his hand and said with a slight smile, "Excuse me!"

Tao Zheng straightened his waist, took out the written report from his arms, and presented it with both hands, "This is a detailed report on the troubles caused by Wuchang merchants, please have a look at the state shepherd."

In fact, Liu Jing had already received the report on the troubles caused by the businessmen in Wuchang, and there was no need for Tao Zheng to send another report. He took the report and said with a smile, "I won't read it, just tell us about the situation."

Tao Zheng sorted out his thoughts and said: "The reason is that a dozen merchants from Xiangyang sold their shops at a low price, and later found that Wuchang was more prosperous, so they regretted it and wanted to take back the shops, but the buyers refused. They encouraged fellow villagers from Xiangyang to rob shops together, which resulted in conflicts between merchants from Jiangxia and merchants from Xiangyang, and now the situation has calmed down.”[

"How do you deal with the dozen or so merchants from Xiangyang?" Liu Jing asked.

"Reporting to Zhoumu, first of all, the store business was established, and there must be no regrets. Secondly, all losses will be borne by the more than a dozen Xiangyang businessmen who provoked the trouble. In addition, the Xiangyang businessman who led the trouble will be punished for one year."

Xu Shu beside him laughed, "Is it reasonable for Tao Xianwei to only punish Xiangyang natives but not Jiangxia natives?"

Tao Zheng stood up and said solemnly: "In this case, one is one and the other is two. I have absolutely no partiality. From the beginning to the end, the merchant from Jiangxia did not do anything illegal. Although the price is low, it is completely voluntary. As for the smashing and looting of the store, and even the chasing and beating of the merchants, it is the merchants from Xiangyang who are committing violence. When it comes to the law, I only look at their actions, Xu Changshi can say that I am ineffective, but he cannot accuse me of taking sides."

Liu Jing waved his hands and smiled, "Don't be so excited, Xu Changshi knows the details, and he was just joking with you."

Tao Zheng sat down again, and Liu Jing looked at his report, then returned it to him, and said with a faint smile, "Remember in the future, the report to me must have the signatures of the county magistrate and the prefect."

Tao Zheng's face turned red suddenly, and only then did he realize that he had violated an official taboo. He accepted the report embarrassedly, and quickly put it away.

Liu Jing smiled, and said to him again: "I brought you to Xiangyang, because there is a new job for you, let Xu Changshi tell you!"

Tao Zheng was both surprised and delighted. It turned out that he was going to be transferred away. He was filled with anticipation and looked at Xu Shu anxiously. Xu Shu thought for a while and said, "Let me tell you a secret first, and it must not be passed on to the outside world."

"I dare not to be humble!"

Xu Shu continued: "We signed a secret agreement with Jiangdong. Yuzhang County and Qichun County will belong to Jingzhou one year later. During this year, they will be temporarily controlled by Jiangdong, but neither side can garrison troops. Yuzhang County is different, it is jointly managed by both parties, that is to say, the prefect is appointed by Jiangdong, but the prefect is appointed by us, the prefect is only in name, and the real power is in the hands of the prefect, so the prefect suggested that you be the prefect of Qichun. One year from now, I hope you will be able to stabilize Qichun, Captain Tao, you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders!"

Tao Zheng was so excited that he actually let him be the magistrate, especially the last sentence that he will stabilize Qichun County in one year, which actually implied him that he will be the prefect in one year, and he will act again He saluted and said: "I will never let down the great trust of Zhou Mu and Chang Shi, and I will do my best to stabilize Qichun County."

Liu Jing smiled and nodded, "Go! After completing the formalities, you can go directly to Qichun County to take up the post. Xu Changshi will explain the detailed arrangements for serving as the county magistrate to you."

"Farewell to the humble post!"

Tao Zheng was anxious to report the great news to his grandfather, so he saluted and left, and waited until he was far away before Liu Jing smiled at Xu Shu, "What does Chang Shi think of this person?"

There was a bitter smile on Xu Shu's face. Generally, when an official becomes an official, he must first start as the chief secretary, two years as chief secretary, two years as county lieutenant, two years as county magistrate, and finally to be promoted to county magistrate. After serving as an official for ten years, he only considered promotion to the county. If his political achievements were mediocre, he would have no chance of promotion at all.

However, Tao Zheng was directly appointed as a county lieutenant without going through the master book, and after only three years as a county lieutenant, he was directly promoted to a county magistrate, which completely surpassed the way of official promotion.

In fact, Xu Shu fully understood that even if Liu Jing didn't marry the Tao family's daughter, because of the Tao family's great contribution to Jiang Xia's start, he should have this kind of repayment.

What's more, Liu Jing also married the daughter of the Tao family and gave birth to the eldest son. Out of a kind of maintenance and improvement of Tao Zhan's status, Liu Jing should also reuse the Tao family, and on the eve of marrying Princess Jiangdong, In order to appease the Tao family, this extraordinary promotion seemed very necessary.

Although Xu Shu knew it well, he didn't want to mention this special relationship. He knew that Liu Jing didn't ask him this, but asked Tao Zheng whether he was capable of taking the important position of Qichun County Prime Minister.

Xu Shu thought for a while and said: "It can be seen that Tao Zheng is a honest and honest person, and he has done a lot of practical things in the past few years, especially this time he solved the commercial chaos in Wuchang. It can be seen that he also has the courage to act decisively. , can enforce the law impartially and impartially, I believe that he can live up to the trust of the prefect in Qichun County and smoothly incorporate Qichun County into the territory of Jingzhou."

Liu Jing nodded, "I also hope that he won't let me down."
