The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

After Cheng Jia went to Liang Qi to deliver a letter to Wei Guang, Xun Zhen stayed in the mansion for two days, and it was really quiet and boring.

In the afternoon, he summoned Cao Ye, the county counselor of the county to persuade the farmers, and the county councilor of Cao Ye, to inquire about farming and children's schooling.

There is not much to say about children going to school.

Xun Zhen is now in the prefectural government, saying that no one dares to disobey his orders. Since he has made the county councilor responsible for "children entering winter school", the Confucian scholars of the county councilor will do it honestly, no matter what. Whether it was a pampered son of a famous family, or a scholar from a humble family, they all regarded this as the top priority of the Cao, and they went to each county one by one, and no one dared to cry out.

Cao Ye, the county councilor, wrote down all the data on the enrollment of children in each county. At this moment, he took out the clip of the recorded data from his sleeve and reported it to Xun Zhen. They reported to Xun Zhen respectively, and finally concluded: "Up to now, more than 8,000 boys have entered the school this winter. Compared with last year, the number has increased considerably. This is due to the government's efforts to persuade learning and culture and education."

In the past, Wei County had a population of nearly 700,000. Now, after the military chaos, it has a population of almost 500,000. Among these 500,000 people, excluding the old, middle and young men, women and children, there are about a few boys of the right age. Ten thousand people, tens of thousands of school-age children, and there are more than 8,000 people enrolled in school. This ratio is indeed not low. However, in the Han generation, because the state attaches great importance to culture and education, the basic education among the people is very popular, especially in the inland prefectures and counties such as Jizhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Sili School Weibu. The literacy rate is already very high, which is quite impressive. Therefore, although there are more than 8,000 children enrolled in Wei County this year, although the number has increased compared with last year, if compared with Taiping, the enrollment rate is at most the same. Not much more than that.

However, having said that, "Cang Lin knows the etiquette in truth, and knows honor and disgrace when they have enough food and clothing." The common people will only have the time to study and read after they have filled their stomachs. After all, it is after the military chaos, so it is very good to have such a high enrollment rate. Now, from the side, it also reflects that Xun Zhen has done a good job in Wei County this year, and has managed Wei County very well.

Xun Zhen said in his heart: "More than 8,000 boys are admitted to school, which is considered a sloppy one. I want to wait until next year's imperial examination, and I can pass the cultural and educational field." one.

The county councilor did a good job of the boy's schooling. Xun Zhen was always rewarded for meritorious deeds. An order was issued to reward each of the county councilor officials responsible for this matter with a certain amount of money and silk, and ordered the county Gong Cao Wang Cong wrote a credit to each of them in the book of inspections.

Cao Ye, the county councilor, was a famous Confucian scholar in the county. He had his own demeanor and was praised and rewarded by Xun Zhen.

The report on the boy's school enrollment has been completed, and then Kang Gui will report on the agricultural work of "preparing for the spring ploughing in the coming year".

Farming is also well done.

This is what Xun Zhen expected.

Although I heard that the imperial court has appointed a few people to fill the vacancies in the county, such as Wu'an, Neihuang, Fanyang and other counties, but because of the long road or because of thieves, these people have not yet been found. When one person takes office, the people in charge of these counties are still Liu Bei, Li Qiong, Xuankang and other "commanders", and they will not resist Xun Zhen's orders; as for the remaining counties that do not lack chief officials, Xun Zhen first chased Liang Qi’s order, recaptured Li Hu, and forced Zhao Ran to withdraw from Ye County. He had already become famous in the county, and if he lent these counties a courage, they did not dare not to obey Xun Zhen’s order. Preparing for spring farming in the coming year" went very smoothly.

Kang Gui has been an official in the prefecture for many years. This is the first time he has met such a strong official as Xun Zhen. When things go smoothly, he is in a good mood. As soon as this was said, Xun Zhen heard something that could be used by him.

"You said that the existing officials in Ye County have fewer cattle than what is recorded in the book?"

"Yeah, there are three fewer heads than in the book."

"Why less?"

"It's not to blame the county court in Ye County. Although the snowfall this winter is later than last year, the weather is colder than last year. Of the three less ploughing oxen, one died from freezing, and the remaining two died of disease."

Xun Zhen was unhappy and said, "How can this not be blamed on the court of Ye County!"

"..."

"If the county court in Ye County takes good care of it, how can the cattle freeze to death? How can they die of illness?"

Kang Gui said in his heart: "If it is said that freezing to death is the responsibility of the county court of Ye County, it is difficult to blame the county court of Ye County for death from illness. People are born, old and die, and the same is true for cattle. Yes." Thinking so in her heart, she followed Xun Zhen's brush and replied, "Yes, yes."

"Pass my order, and call Ye Ling to see you!"

Seeing Xun Zhen's posture, he was about to summon the magistrate of Ye County and reprimand him in person. Judging from his heart, the magistrate of Ye County cooperated with Kang Gui very much, but he was reprimanded by Xun Zhen because of a few cows. Kang Gui couldn't bear it, so he smiled and said, "Ye Ling knows that three cows died. Empress Niu is very self-blaming, and in the humble opinion of the official, it seems that there is no need to specially summon him again, right?"

Xun Zhenzheng said: "The cow is Tian Zhisuke. It's not that you don't know, the county is in chaos, cattle are scarce, and Ye Ling's ineffective care, and three cows freeze and die of illness, this is even more important for the county in the coming year. The chūn farming is even worse! One less cow may result in less harvest of two or three hundred shi of grain next year, and three less cows means less than a thousand shi of grain, which is the monthly ration of five hundred people! Such a serious dereliction of duty. As the prefect, how can I not call him? If I don’t call him, I won’t be able to attract the attention of the counties!”

Xun Zhen was on the line, and Kang Gui had nothing to say, so he had to answer: "Yes."

Kang Gui went out to find the magistrate of Ye County to pass on Xun Zhen's order, and Cao Ye, the county councilor, also went out with him.

After leaving the yard, Cao Ye, the county councilor, praised: "Three cows freezing and dying from illness are trivial things, but the ruler of the government does not give up because of the fact that he knows about it, and it is obvious that he cares about the farmers and the people!"

Hearing what Cao Caoyue said, Kang Gui thought about it and felt that it was indeed the case. He no longer thought that Xunzhen was making a fuss, but turned to self-reflection, made a deep self-criticism, and reminded himself: "Fu Jun Huge kindness, reuse me, entrust farming to me, I should be conscientious and walk on thin ice, and now the concept that three cattle are frozen and death from illness is a trivial matter must never be lost again!"

Seeing Kang Gui and Cao Cao go out, Xun Zhen sat in the hall and changed into a comfortable sitting position, with a slight smile on her face, she said in her heart, "I'll put people in Yexian County Temple after a long time, but I've been suffering from Yexian's troubles. Ling is very respectful to me. I couldn't find an opportunity, because of the delay. Today, I finally found an opportunity to put the people who Luan Gu and Huo Heng recommended to me into the Ye County Court. "

Since he took hold of the county magistrate's handle, the magistrate of Ye county has always been respectful and obedient to Xun Zhen, and he must take care of Xun Zhen's orders, even if it is a trivial matter. Must do it perfectly. He is so honest and obedient, Xun Zhen can't continue to put people in the court of Ye County. Up to now, his only person in the court of Ye County is Huo Heng's younger brother, Huo Zhan.

It was so easy to find an omission of the magistrate of Ye today, how could Xun Zhen let it go so easily? He calculated in his heart: "Luan Gu, Huo Heng, and Chen Yi have recommended five Ye County scholars to me in total. After inquiring by Jun Chang, three of these five people hate the Zhao family, and they can be used by me. When the county magistrate arrives, I shall order him to push these three people into the county court, and assign them to the thieves and the cadres."

The magistrate of Ye County has the handle in Xun Zhen's hands, and he was very afraid of Xun Zhen. After Xun Zhen arrested Li Hu and put him in prison, he became more and more afraid of Xun Zhen. , and immediately urged the county officials to prepare a car and galloped to pay homage to Xun Zhen.

When Kang Gui conveyed Xun Zhen's order to him, he gave him a little hint and revealed the reason why Xun Zhen called him to the prefecture. On the way to the county mansion, the magistrate of Ye county was uneasy. When he arrived at the gate of the county mansion, he got out of the car. He did not dare to bring any of his entourage. He came here because he was too afraid of Xun Zhen and he was under too much pressure. When he entered the hall, it was a cold day, and sweat actually oozes out of his forehead.

When he entered the hall, he didn't dare to look up, and after walking forward two steps, he fell to the ground with a thud, kowtowed repeatedly, and shouted death penalty.

His timid appearance made Xun Zhen laugh.

It is interesting to think that just a few years ago, when Xun Zhen met such a "senior official" as the county magistrate, Xun Zhen had to greet him, but in a blink of an eye, his prestige has already made the magistrate of a county "fearless", which is also interesting. .

Xun Zhen originally planned to reprimand him harshly first, and then reveal the purpose, but now seeing him like this, she didn't bother to reprimand him any more, so she lightly ordered him to get up, and after a moment of silence, she said slowly, "I Three of the cattle in Wengui County were frozen and died of illness. Now, December is the end of the year, and spring ploughing will soon be in the coming year. If there are no cattle, you will not be able to plough. If you cannot take good care of the cattle, then I will send a few people. help."

"The subordinate officials should die, the subordinate officials should be damned! The subordinate officials can't even look at a cow, it's really damn! The subordinate officials are limited in their ability.

Xun Zhen wrote down the names of the three available people on a piece of paper, summoned him to approach, handed him the paper, and said, "These people are all famous people in your county~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I think this is enough to help you. ."

The magistrate of Ye County humbly took the paper and began to look at it. He had heard the names of the three people written by Xun Zhen. Although they were not like "the famous people of your county" that Xun Zhen said, they were also scholars of Ye. He knew in his heart that Xun Zhen would never let these three scholars come to help him raise cattle, but it was supposed to have ulterior motives, so he gathered up his courage and asked tentatively, "The three men who have been written by the lord, are you? The officials have also heard it, and it is indeed as the lord of the government said, these are all famous people in the county, such as using them to raise cattle, are they afraid of being overpowered and underpowered?"

"Then what do you think is the best way to arrange it?"

"The lower officials are stupid, and they know what the lord of the government wants."

"These people were recommended to me by Luan Ye and Huo Ye. Look at the arrangement."

Nuonuo, the magistrate of Ye County, walked out of the hall with soft legs, and walked on the road to find his thoughts: "Luan Gu and Huo Heng are one of the county thieves Cao Ye, and the other is the county judge Cao Ye, and the mansion said these people are Luan and Huo. Does it mean that you want me to assign these people to the thief and the second Cao?" Xun Zhen couldn't hold back her thoughts, and did not dare to ask any more questions, and finally made a decision, "I will put these three first. If someone arranges for a thief to decide between two cadres, if it is not in line with the lord's will, I will change it."

With these three thieves Cao and Jue Cao who entered Ye County, and Huo Zhan who was previously inserted into Ye County's thief Cao, Ye County's thief and Jue Er Cao were now under the control of Xun Zhen. To be honest, Xun Zhen originally wanted to arrange these three people into the court of Ye County without leaving any trace, and the reason why today, in the name of "helping the magistrate of Ye to raise cattle", was so bluntly forcing the magistrate of Ye to accept and place them. The three of them, in the final analysis, had to step up their personnel deployment in Wei County because he didn't know how Zhao Zhong would react to Li Hu's case.
