The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

If the two incidents of "the destruction of the third clan" and "not punishing the pavilion chiefs who received gifts" only made Xun Zhen respected by the villagers and local officials, and shocked the villagers, then after convincing Xuan Bo's family After many disciples, he gained the approval of most of the scholars in the township. -Xixiang is a small place, and there are not many people in the township who can be called "scholars". Except for the Xie family, the main one is Xuanbo.

The villagers, village officials, powerful landlords, and scholars were all convinced by him. With this foundation, the subsequent administration was easy.

Xun Zhen came to Xixiang for a very clear purpose, that is, to "gather people to save lives" in the coming troubled times. Since the purpose is clear, it is naturally very simple when it comes to "policy measures".

When he was in Fanyang Pavilion, he mainly did three things, one was to train Limin; the other was to recruit rangers; the other was to investigate Taiping believers in Benting. Now that he has been promoted, he has been moved to a township rank husband, the environment has changed, and the "policy measures" have to change slightly. It is still possible to recruit Qingxia and investigate Taiping believers, but it is impossible to organize villagers to practice. After all, no matter how small Xixiang is, it is still a township, with a radius of dozens of miles, eleven pavilions under its jurisdiction, and thousands of households. It needs to be practiced, and the movement is too big, and it may cause trouble in the county and even the county alert.

After meeting the disciples of Xuanbo, on the third day, a person came to the county, but it was an old acquaintance, and the hired servant was from Shu Wenzhi.

Xun Zhen went out to greet her, and the two were admitted to the hospital together. After entering the hall, the guests and the host will be seated. Wen Zhi was not in a hurry to talk about public affairs. He first talked about his personal friendship. He held both hands in front of him, and said with a look of gratitude: "My nephew Wen Ping came to Yingyin for a study tour. My brother wrote a letter from home, asking me to thank you a lot for him!"

Xun Zhen complained and said, "Brother Wen, you and I are like old friends at first sight. There is a saying in the ancients: 'You are as old as you are when you are old.' Although we have not known each other for a long time, in my eyes, you are already as old I've been an old friend for many years! Why should I be polite? Although Zhongye is young and mature, my brother Zhong and I like him very much. Over time, he will become a great weapon. "

Wen Zhi has no children, and always regards Wen Ping as his own child. At this time, when Xun Zhen praised Wen Ping, he was very happy and said with a smile: "Although this child Zhong Ye is calm and young, he is sometimes very impulsive. The last time he came to send Xun Jun to take office, I heard that he had a conflict with Gao Su of Xiangting? Thanks to Xun Jun for him, there was no major disaster! ..., Xun Jun, since I met you, Zhong Ye He often told me that you only went to Fanyang, and soon you will be able to convince the tyrants, be loved by the villagers, lead the young men to defect, the dragon in the real life, the small pond in Xixiang is by no means your resting place. He is very assertive, I rarely see him admire a person like this, and now that he is under the sect of Brother Ling, he can be regarded as your junior, and I hope Xun Jun can teach him more in the future."

Xun Zhen said, "Brother Wen, needless to say, I will definitely treat him like my son and nephew." He picked up the warm soup, asked Wen Zhi to drink water, put down the wooden bowl, and asked, "Brother Wen has come to the village today, I don't know if there is any What's the matter?"

"The county chief Huang Xiang resigned from his post a few years ago, and the county magistrate has not found a suitable candidate to replace him. It was nothing more than a year ago. There was nothing in the township, and it was fine with or without a chief. It is spring now, and the day before yesterday I got According to the news from the county, the newly appointed Fujun Yingong plans to come down to 'Xingchun' in a few days, and has already handed down an official document, ordering the counties to raise grains and fake people to grow food. Since it is necessary to 'fake food' , I can no longer be without a village chief. . . . The county lord ordered me to come and ask Xun-jun if there is anyone who can recommend it?"

"Xingchun" is the practice of the two Han Dynasties. Every spring, the prefect "often used the spring to go to the county, persuaded the people to farm mulberry, and revitalized and rescued the poor."

"Fake seed food" means loaning seeds to poor people. Generally speaking, "fake seed food" is often used as a means of disaster relief after famine years. Yingchuan County was not hit by a disaster last year. Yin Xiu ordered the counties to "fake planting food", probably because of the three fires when the new official took office, and wanted to show his "benevolence". In a township, there is Zhiqiangfu or Qiangfu who is the head of the township, and Xiangzuo is his deputy, mainly responsible for the financial affairs. If you want to "fake planting food", you must measure the land of the people and supply them according to the amount, which must be assisted by a village assistant.

According to the stories since the Han Dynasty, the village assistant and Qiangfu (youzhi Qiangfu) were generally held by local people. As the head of a village in Xixiang, Xun Zhen could have the power to recommend the village assistant. However, listening to Wenzhi's remarks, it seems that the magistrate Zhu Chang meant more than simply asking him to recommend, but delegating power and letting him decide the candidate. This is a rare trust and grace.

Xun Zhen was very frightened and left the bed and thanked him, saying: "Zhenzhen is the last official, living in a wild country, although he is the leader of Xixiang, but he has limited knowledge and limited knowledge. Do the county government?"

Wen Zhi smiled and said: "You are from a famous family, and you are a son of a high school. Since taking office, the people have been courteous to the corvette and the servants; There is a milk tiger in the back. This 'milk tiger' is a compliment to you! Why should you be too modest?"

"The people of the county are so embarrassed that they are ashamed to be worthy of it. The former township Zuo Huangxiang was a virtuous gentleman. When he served as the township deputy, he was upright and fair, and won the praise of the townspeople. I couldn't keep it, and I was very anxious. Fortunately, the county You are magnanimous, you didn't convict me, I just got lucky. Now I'm in the village of sin, and I don't dare to arbitrarily do county government."

"Xunjun, the county lord appreciates you very much. Before I came, the county lord also said to me: 'Zhenzhi has captured the third clan, and after showing his thunderous tactics, he did not punish the pavilion chief who accepted the gift, showing his generosity. The side of benevolence. If you give both kindness and power, you will definitely win the hearts of the villagers. I praise you so much! Stop being humble, even if you randomly recommend anyone to me, I can go back and do business."

Wen bluntly said to this level, Xun Zhen no longer need to be "humble". The post of county chief is not big or small, and it is definitely not big in the county, but as far as the township is concerned, it is also a very powerful position. Zhu Chang asked him to choose this candidate, which in fact gave him a chance to "sell his favor".

Xun Zhen pondered for a moment, then thought: "Although the position of village chief is not high, it is also an opportunity to win over the tyrants and scholars of the hometown. Should I give this position to the tyrannical landlords? Or to the scholars of the hometown? Only from Gao Su dared to beat Huang Xiang, it can be seen that these powerful landlords don't take the villagers seriously. . Give it to the gentleman."

He made up his plans and said, "If that's the case, then I'll recommend someone. Under the family of the elder Xuan Gong of this township, there is a disciple named Shi Shi, who used to be the lijianmen of Yangyin Village, and he just resigned from his post a while ago. Although this person came from a humble background and had served as a lowly servant like the Lijian, but he worked hard, had high aspirations, was down-to-earth, pure in nature, and was well versed in arithmetic, so he could serve as a village chief."

"Under Duke Xuan's family? Is it a disciple of Xuan Bo?"

"right."

"Have you ever served as a prison guard?"

"Yes."

Wen Zhi laughed: "If you can get such praise from Jun Xun, this person must not be a mediocre person. So, under the rule of Junzhi, there are still people like Marquis Li?" Marquis Li was Li Shiqi. Before his name, his family was poor and destitute, and he used to be a clerk in the ward.

After the official business was done, Wen Zhi and Xun Zhen talked about their personal friendship for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, he got up and said goodbye.

Xun Zhen sent him out, at the gate of the Guansi, waiting for him to take a limousine away, and was about to return to the hospital when he heard the sound of horse hooves, turned his head to look, and saw that Xiao Xia had returned.

…

Xiao Xia has been very busy these days. She leaves early and returns late every day. She is busy buying horses at various booths. She is a little tired, but the harvest is not bad. Gao Su gave Xun Zhen a total of five pavilions at the beginning. He has already run four and a half. With the cooperation and assistance of the pavilion chiefs and Qingxia, he has received nearly thirty horses, including good horses and smooth horses. According to the average profit of 50,000 to 60,000 yuan per horse, Xun Zhen has already earned nearly 1.8 million yuan. - This is done on the basis of fair trade and not bullying others.

"How was the harvest today?"

Xun Zhen chose a few good horses from the horses she had collected, and planned to keep them for her own use, and gave one to Xiao Xia. Because Xiao Xia saw Xun Zhen in front of the courtyard, she jumped off the horse from a distance, walked a few steps, and led the horse to the front, smiling: "The harvest is not bad, I bought two more horses today, -As usual, it has been delivered to Gao's house." The stables in the official temple are too small, barely able to hold four or five horses, and no more can be accommodated, so all the horses that are collected will be sent to Gao on the same day. Family.

Xun Zhen nodded, turned her face and looked into the distance. Seeing that Wen Zhi's rickshaw had disappeared at the turn of the road, she waved her sleeves to help Xiao Xia brush the dust off her clothes, and said with a smile, "This is It's been a few days for you! Look at you disgraced, go back to the backyard. Let Tang'er cook some hot soup for you and take a good bath."

The two went to the courtyard. As he walked, Xiao Xia asked, "Did he come from the county just now?" Although he didn't see Wen Zhi, but if Xun Zhen was able to go out to see him off, most likely he was from the county.

Xun Zhen replied, "Yes. Zhongye's uncle Wenzhi came just now."

"Why? ..., but is the county planning to execute the third clan?"

"How can it be so fast! Although the third family committed the crime of bewitching the public, UU reading www.uukanshu.com did not have to wait until autumn and winter to execute the execution, but after all, there were dozens of people. It's not the right time to kill people. At least we have to wait until after the Spring Festival."

- The so-called "Qin was a tyrannical government and executed at four seasons". In order to avoid repeating the old path of "performing the law and dying" in the former Qin Dynasty, the Han people also made certain changes to the laws of Qin on the basis of fully inheriting the laws of Qin. Execution", but based on the saying of "harmony between man and nature" and guided by the theory of yin and yang and the five elements, the system of "execution in autumn and winter" was established.

- "Growing in spring and summer is beneficial for practicing benevolence; killing in autumn and hiding in winter is beneficial for punishing". In spring and summer, "exercise benevolence", and execute execution in autumn and winter. However, "treachery and treason" is not included in this list, and the crime of "slandering and confounding the public" is also a type of "big treason", so there is no need to wait until autumn and winter before execution. It's just as Xun Zhen said, the first is that spring has just started, and the weather is just getting warmer; when.

Xiao Xia asked, "Is Fu-Jun going to start the Spring Festival? Wen Jun is here to tell Xun Jun this? Then we have to prepare well and give Fu-Jun a good impression." The purpose of "Spring" is "to persuade the people to cultivate mulberry, and to revive the lack of mulberry," and if you want to "promote the people to cultivate mulberry," of course, you can't just go to the county, you must go down to each township.

Xun Zhen agreed, nodding and saying, "The people take food as their heaven, and the country takes agriculture as their foundation. Farming and mulberry are important matters that should not be taken lightly. I originally planned to go to various pavilions and li to supervise the villagers and farmers in the next two days. Sang, now just in time to catch up with Fujun Xingchun, it's killing two birds with one stone." He talked to Xiao Xia, but he only said "Xingchun", and he didn't mention the fact that he had just recommended fashion for his hometown.
