Royal road

Several carriages creaked and drove across the bluestone road, and did not stop in front of the spacious gate of the prefect's mansion, but directly entered the mansion from the side door.When the leading bullock cart stabilized, a small figure jumped out of the cart and threw himself into the arms of the visitor.

"Father!" The little guy didn't say anything, but those soft little hands were tightly grasping Liang Feng's sleeves, as if he didn't want to let go for a moment.

Liang Feng smiled and said, "Did Rong'er miss Father?"

More than miss.This month, Liang Rong was extremely frightened.Although he didn't know what happened in the county, but from the behavior of everyone, he could guess that his father might not be very safe going here.On the way, there was a police call from the Liang Manor, which made him even more anxious.Therefore, when he learned that his father was promoted to the county guard and that he was going to pick him up to Lucheng, Liang Rong followed the convoy on the road without saying a word.As long as I can see my father, what is it worth going to a place I have never been to?

"Think!" Thousands of words were merged into this word, and Liang Rong nodded vigorously, expressing his longing and eagerness.

Liang Feng couldn't help touching his little head: "Then let's stay in the county with my father. Although the prefect's mansion is not as good as the mansion, it is enough for the two of us to live in peace."

Hearing this sentence, Liang Rong couldn't help being elated.Father really didn't lie to him.As long as Father doesn't abandon him, he can go anywhere!

After coaxing the little guy, Liang Feng raised his head and said to Duan Qin: "Si Ruo has worked hard these days."

Duan Qin came with Liang Rong.He cupped his hands and gave a deep bow: "Congratulations, my lord, for being admitted to the party!"

This is something that makes Duan Qin sincerely rejoice.Before that, he had repeatedly deduced the situation he would face in the future. Unexpectedly, the situation would change suddenly, and the county of Shangdang was directly sent to the lord.

Although it is said that the imperial court has the right to appoint officials with a rank of more than [-] shi, but now that there are endless wars and the governors of each state are strong and strong, the appointment of local officials depends largely on the local governors.If the imperial court oversteps the bounds, it may anger the other party.Therefore, the sheriff recommended by the governor will basically not be rejected by the court.As for the gift, it is a reward that is not costly.Whether you can get so many Dingkou is still a question, and it can be regarded as a means to win people's hearts.

This is a trivial matter for Sima Teng and even the court.But for the lord, it is the foundation of one side.Moreover, the promotion from Baiding to prefect is simply a legend.He has prestige, achievements, and such wealth and status.The significance of this official position is far more important than it appears on the surface.

Liang Feng stretched out his hand to support the other party: "If Si Ruo hadn't mentioned something, I wouldn't have made up my mind. The journey is tiring, so follow me to the back hall to rest."

Asking someone to take the little guy to the back house to rest, Liang Feng brought Duan Qin to the study.At this moment, the prefect's mansion has been thoroughly cleaned, and there are no traces of seizing the mansion.Although the house is a bit old, but the environment is really good.

Sitting down in the room, Liang Feng took the lead to ask: "How will the government arrange this time?"

After becoming the prefect, Liang Feng will definitely need more staff and assistants. Duan Qin can't stay in Liang's mansion no matter what, he has to stay in the prefect's mansion to help him with government affairs.In this way, the Liang Mansion would have no one available.

Duan Qin replied: "Nowadays, there is a rule in the mansion. A Liang is in charge of the affairs in the center, and the accountant Zhou is assisted. He goes back and forth once a month, and should handle the affairs of the mansion properly. However, in the trilogy, he was elected as a reliable person. Stay in the Liang Mansion."

This is also a no-brainer.Liang Feng nodded: "But it's only for the time being. When the number of households in Zengyi is replenished in the government, A Liang may not be able to take good care of him."

Now there are less than [-] households in the Liang Mansion, and according to the rules established before, it can still operate normally.If it increased to a thousand households, it would be another concept.This has already caught up with a large county, and it needs better talents to govern it.

Duan Qin nodded: "Your Majesty's words are true. The friend I invited earlier is coming soon, and I can replace him to handle the affairs of the mansion."

At this time, the benefits of being poor are revealed.If a nobleman went to Liang Feng, he would definitely not choose to live in the Liang Mansion, at least he would have to be appeased by a county magistrate or county magistrate.But poor families don't pay so much attention. Being a guest of the prefect is no worse than being an official in the prefect's mansion.It can be regarded as a confidant.So it's not a bad treatment to the other party.

Liang Feng nodded: "Others should be brought to the county mansion too. For example, Li Zile and Liu Shiyue. I want to open a bigger school in the county mansion to house separated children for my own use."

Before there was no money, teaching students could only work part time.Now that he has the position of prefect, among other things, the salary alone is two thousand shi per year, and with the power of a county in his hands, many things can be considered leniently.Therefore, it is urgent to establish a full-time school.Even if these people cannot be employed in a short period of time, it will be a very cost-effective investment in the long run.Not to mention, the matter of enrolling in school is also linked to military merit rewards, so it can't be done halfway.

Duan Qin naturally knew the pros and cons of it, nodded and said: "I will take care of this myself. It's just Sifang, how should we deal with it?"

"Sifang will be taken care of by Zhao Yu first. If there is anything to do, please report it to me immediately." Liang Feng replied bluntly.

Sifang is the treasury of the Liang Mansion, and there are many secrets involved, so it is always inconvenient for others to intervene.Zhao Yu has a keen mind, is loyal and reliable, and is a good candidate for acting.

Although Duan Qin didn't understand why the lord would reuse this wet nurse, but Zhao Yu was really neat and reliable, so he could barely accept it.

"This kind of arrangement is just a matter of authority. We still need to repair the road later. Only when the fast horse can reach it in a day can we be safe." Liang Feng sighed lightly. Such remote management is not a problem. After all, there are high-rise buildings near the Liang residence Both and Liangxing must also be thoughtful.

"Maybe we can recruit some refugees to build roads?" Duan Qin suggested that he was quite familiar with the work-for-relief method.

"Well, Luoyang is still in turmoil these days. If it can accommodate the population, we should collect more. Shangdang also has a lot of wasteland, so we need to reclaim more." Liang Feng made a decision, and then asked, "By the way, didn't Ji En come to Lucheng with you?"

"Doctor Jiang went back to Tongda first, and said he would pick up his wife and daughter." Duan Qin replied immediately.

It was almost enough time for Physician Jiang to keep his filial piety, and Jiang Da naturally wanted to bring his wife and daughter to his side.In this way, not only the family can be reunited, but also they can express their loyalty to Liang Feng.

Hearing this, Liang Feng remembered: "Siruo, your family members are still in Yangqu, so let's take them too. If the Xiongnu raise their troops, it won't be safe there."

Yangqu is very close to Jiuyuan. Once the Xiongnu rebelled, it would be the first to suffer.This is indeed a thoughtful arrangement.Duan Qin saluted gratefully: "Thank you, my lord! I will send someone to pick them up and settle in Lucheng as soon as possible."

"The rest is to find some available people."

The prefect's mansion has undergone two major changes, countless county officials were killed and injured, and there is also a severe shortage of people.Duan Qin naturally understood the seriousness of this matter, but seeing Liang Feng's calm expression, he couldn't help asking curiously: "My lord has someone to choose?"

"There is a place where you can try."

■

Cui Liang is nestled at home every day these days.There were several major changes in Lucheng before, fearing being implicated by the rebels, Cui's house closed its doors and did not contact the outside world.In any case, with the banner of Cui Daru, even if there is chaos, thieves will not dare to come to the door easily.However, the news in the mansion is fairly well-informed. From the time when Prefect Jiang was killed, Prefect Yan took office, and then Prefect Yan was killed, and Liang Zixi took charge of the county mansion.Everything, Cui Liang listened to it.

Until Duke Dong Ying returned and announced Liang Feng as the new Shangdang prefect.The chaos seems to be over.But Cui Liang still felt a little lack of realism.Who would have thought that the sick and weak gentleman with whom he had a good conversation last year has now become the prefect of a county?

He is someone who didn't even participate in the Zhongzheng assessment!

He was filled with fear and envy at the same time, so even if Cui's mansion opened the door, he really had no interest in wandering around.However, he never expected that someone would come to the door when he didn't go out.

When he saw the light green name badge, he didn't dare to delay at all, and hurried out the door to welcome it.

"Brother Cui, are you here all right?" Liang Feng didn't wear official uniforms, and he didn't bring a guard of honor.

"Liang...Liang Fujun!" Cui Liang was so frightened that he fainted. He stuttered twice before he called out the correct address, "I don't know that the Fujun came to the door, and I didn't greet him from afar. It's really rude..."

Liang Feng stopped the other party from apologizing nervously, and smiled slightly: "I came here abruptly. I have been busy with political affairs a few days ago, and now I just have time, so I went to visit Mr. Cui at the mansion."

"Ah! Father just got a little more energetic in the past two days, so I'm going to tell you!" Cui Liang hurriedly said.

Liang Feng frowned: "Is Mr. Cui sick?"

"It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable after the summer, and it's not a serious problem..."

"There is a Dr. Jiang in my residence who is very skilled in medicine. Let him come and see Mr. Cui later." Liang Feng said.

Unexpectedly, the prefect would invite a doctor for his grandfather. Cui Liang was excited and grateful, and thanked him again and again.After a few casual conversations, Liang Feng followed the other party and walked to the bedroom in the side house.

This is not a place to meet guests, but Liang Feng didn't mind, and stepped into the room.I saw the hunched old man leaning on the recessed table, still looking tired and thin, with only a pair of cloudy eyes, which seemed to be a little bright.Beside him, there was a man kneeling and sitting, about thirty years old, his appearance was somewhat similar to Cui Liang, I don't know if it was his elder brother or a relative.

Seeing Liang's mansion entered the room, the old man didn't get up, he just bowed slightly and said: "This old man is weak, what a disrespect. I hope the lord will forgive me."

Liang Feng hurriedly took a step forward, and said politely: "It's the brat who came here abruptly, disturbing Mr. Cui's rest."

His behavior did not have the arrogance of a superior at all, on the contrary, he was more polite than when we met before.The old man pulled out a wrinkled smile: "You don't need to be polite. Please take your seat."

After Liang Feng sat down, Cui Daru pointed to the man beside him: "This is my grandson. His name is Ji, and his style name is Gongqiao. He attends me to study every day."

Cui Ji bowed calmly and said, "Gong Qiao has met Lord Liang."

When you came last time, there was no one around you to wait on you.Liang Feng didn't point it out, and after returning the gift, he said with a smile: "Before, I benefited a lot from the old gentleman, and the book I gave you made the boy suddenly enlightened. Today, I am here to go to that year's appointment."
