The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

Although this sudden promotion and transfer order was completely unexpected, Lu An still started preparing the handover documents as soon as he received the transfer order.

If the talents are relatively normal, that is, if they are not above the level and not particularly mediocre, generally speaking, the tenure of local officials is four to five years. If they work in more remote places, it is not impossible to die of old age.

Like Lu An, there are very few people who have been in charge of a county but were transferred away after more than a year.Just because he never thought of this possibility, Lu An naturally didn't make any preparations.

After unfolding the paper and picking up the pen, he suddenly didn't know how to start writing this document.

He has only completed half of many activities, and some of them are tasks other than the title of county sheriff. If the successor is that kind of rigid character, a lot of his previous foreshadowing may be wasted.

Lu An shook his head, shaking off the negative emotions in his mind, and began to write down the current situation in Dongjun and the points to pay attention to.

After the successor arrives, as the predecessor, Lu An, he will have to bring the newcomer along for another month, and he can leave only after both parties confirm that the handover is complete.

However, since Dongjun itself is a new county, everything is new, and many rules have not yet been written. Lu An is ready to stay for a while. You can stay here for a month and a half.

It should be enough... He will be sent to Dongjun to take over the place that was once governed by the prince. King Qin shouldn't send those more thorny types anyway.

Thinking like this, Lu An met his successor a few days later, and then he was stunned.

In the cool autumn wind, the young man in the black robe of an official from the state of Qin bowed to him with a gentle smile, "Little brother, long time no see."

"Master, Junior Brother! It turned out to be you!" Lu An couldn't help but stepped forward to give the visitor a hug, and then quickly pulled him into the carriage.

They are now outside Puyang City. In order to show respect and welcome to the new consul, Lu An had brought Gan Luo and Meng Tian outside the city to greet the guests before, but unexpectedly he was waiting for an acquaintance.

It turned out to be his younger brother Han Fei who came to take over as the Sheriff of Dongjun!

To be honest, Lu An had thought of many people before, but Han Fei was the only one who didn't think of it. It wasn't that he didn't trust the talent of this junior, but that Han Fei was a Korean nobleman.The purpose of his study tour is to return to South Korea to serve South Korea, and to achieve this goal, it is impossible for him to have a tainted record of being an official in Qin.

Unlike Qin, South Korea's political arena is completely controlled by the aristocracy and is very exclusive.

And before I went to Shu County to help, one was because Lu An’s entrustment was hard to refuse, and the other was that Xun Zi also thought that they had already learned the theoretical knowledge and lacked practice, so he also suggested that they go, Han Fei and Li Si Talented people will go to Shu County together to help.

However, unlike Li Si who took the post happily, Han Fei refused to accept the official position in Qin State at that time. Since he had no official position, he naturally had no salary, so he was doing nothing but working for nothing.Later, Lu An couldn't stand it anymore, so he just gave him a sum of money, called consulting fees, and then he gave up.

Han Fei's family property is not rich. Their family was originally a declining nobleman in South Korea. However, with the increasing eccentricity of the King of Han and the domestic struggle for power, Han Fei's parents, who were able to buy him an imported cow when he was a child, are almost all relying on their family. There was no extra money for Han Fei for the support of the land.

His junior brother also has a wife and children to support, how could Lu An really let him work for nothing.However, when Lu An left Shu County later, Han Fei was "hired" by Li Bing because of his outstanding work and did not leave Shu County. Although the brothers and sisters had correspondence, when did he enter the bureaucratic system of the Qin State? I really don't know anymore.

When the two got into the carriage, Han Fei smiled and told him the story of Lu An's departure.

At that time, Li Bing, who suddenly heard that his beloved deputy was taken away by the king, almost burst into tears. Without Lu An to support him behind the scenes, many of his plans could not be successfully completed.

At that time, Lu An was transferred away, and the appointment of the new county magistrate was still pending, and Wei Liao wanted to recruit civilians to build a large-scale offensive minister. Only one person was really too busy. After discussing with a few students who stayed in Shu County , Li Bing wrote a letter to ask Li Si to be appointed as the county magistrate, and it was actually agreed.

Li Si is very capable, and he took over the mountain on Li Bing in less than half a month. However, I don’t know whether King Qin thinks that Li Bing’s wool is particularly good here or Shu County is really easy to produce talents. Half a year later, Li Si was transferred to Ba The county is the sheriff.

Not only was Li Si transferred away, but the other students who were tricked into coming to Shu County were also requisitioned by the court to go to other lands. Now Li Bing's psychological gap was even greater.

After Li Si left, the huge gap in the internal affairs of Shu County could not be closed by Li Bing. Even though Han Fei was capable, the things that the staff could do were different from what the Jun Cheng could do. Some things could only be done by government staff .

Seeing that the boss was struggling and comforting him, Han Fei finally sighed. He wrote a memorial in Li Bing's tone, and handed it to Li Bing for his seal.

Since then, Han Fei has also become the magistrate of Shu County.

Lu An was speechless. If Han Fei hadn't been keeping a low profile before, and his reputation for stuttering was not obvious, he would have thought that this series of operations was King Qin trying to force him into an official position.

On second thought, it's not impossible.Han Fei's stuttering problem is actually not that big, even less obvious when his mood swings are not big. However, for the noble Korean nobles, stuttering seems to be a completely unacceptable problem.

However, Qin State is completely acceptable to some minor problems in talents. In fact, from Lu An's standpoint, he also thinks that Qin State is more suitable for Han Fei's development.

A lot of Han Fei's ideas are completely based on the rule of law. Of course, compared with Shang Yang's rule of law, which is almost Virgo to the extreme, Han Fei's is a little more relaxed, but that is also limited.

But whether it is Shang Yang or Han Fei, they have the same idea, that is, everyone is equal under the law.

Shang Yang was hated for the reform in the Qin State back then, let alone the reform in a country like South Korea, where the aristocrats and clansmen governed the country.

Unless Han Fei can meet a king of Han who can trust him like Duke Xiao of Qin trusted Shang Yang, and that king of Han will also be able to hold military power like Duke Xiao and be able to suppress all opposing voices, but that is impossible of.

The current king of Han is timid and short-sighted, and the power in his hands is divided among courtiers. The next Korean prince will not deal with Han Fei very well.

So unless Han Fei can win over the next successor of South Korea or find a prince who thinks like him to get rid of the current prince, otherwise... it will be really difficult.

And even if he can really rise to power, it may not be easy to change South Korea. The bureaucracy in South Korea is like a crab.

Crabs have a characteristic of this creature, they will stumble each other.

If you put a single crab in a bamboo basket, it might be able to crawl out on its own, but that's not the case if you put many crabs together.

It’s okay for everyone to stay below. Once they find that a crab starts to climb up, they will immediately grab the crab’s legs, one by one, one by one, until the top crab is caught. until they are pulled down.

Today's Han Fei is the crab that crawled out, and when he returned to Korea, even if he wholeheartedly wanted to be the crab that pulled everyone out, there was a high probability that he would be dragged to the bottom together.

But in any case, South Korea is Han Fei's motherland, and he is a Korean clan. Lu An really has some things to say.

He rolled his eyes, and suddenly thought of something, "Brother Li is gone, is there no one around Brother Li again?"

"Your Majesty sent another person to the county guard." Han Fei said calmly, and then curled his lips, "I also invite you, sir... to send a lot of juniors. The government affairs of Shu County are complicated. Studying here is indeed very training. "

The terrain of Shu County is diverse, and the environment and climate are even more complicated. The population here is dense, and there are still a large number of local uncivilized people of the Tu nationality.

At the same time, Shu County usually has large-scale projects to operate. In addition to infrastructure construction, it must also provide food for the Qin State. How to balance labor and people's happiness is a big problem. This place covers almost all that a county can encounter. The problem is that working and studying here is really training people. All this can be proved by seeing that everyone who goes out of Shu County can directly be a county guard.

The two were silent for a while, and exchanged a tacit look. Lu An nodded, silently expressing that he got the message that his husband must be in a bad mood.

After another exchange of pleasantries, the carriage has arrived at the prefect's mansion. Now Lord Wei has been relocated to Yewang City, but the state of Wei has not been destroyed after all, so Lu An's prefect's mansion cannot be occupied like the prefect's mansion of Shu County. Instead of the original palace, it was built separately. The current Weiwang Palace is sealed there and has become a tourist attraction in Puyang. "The repair of the palace is also a lot of expenses."

Lu An said, "So after our discussion, we will open part of the forest garden of the palace for the common people to go in to cut firewood and hunt, and then charge fees according to their income, and then use this fee to repair the palace, which can barely be used as a subsidy."

Once no one lives in the house, it will age quickly. Even though the king of Wei has become the king of Wei, the state of Wei back then was considered a powerful country that could compete with the state of Wei. The palace of the state of Wei in Puyang is not small at all.But now, maintaining the dignity of this palace is not a small expense for Dongjun.

However, Lu An still comforted Han Fei, who was about to bear a heavy burden, "You don't have to worry too much, junior brother, it will be fine later..."

The so-called later, of course, refers to after Wei Jun died.

When Wei Jun died, the Wei State would naturally lose its inheritance, just like the Eastern Zhou State and the Western Zhou State.At that time, Weiwang Palace became a land without an owner, and it was naturally returned to Qin State.

At that time, it can be transformed into the Dongjun County Prefect's Mansion, and the extra space can be used for other purposes. To make a digression, when Zhao Zheng was still in Dongjun, he had already turned around in it several times. very obvious.

At that time, Lu An was speechless and looked at his younger brother's restrained but still eager little eyes. He smacked his brother's head very rudely, and said ruthlessly: "Brother, don't forget our love!" Promise!

What agreement...?

Naturally, the young and ignorant Lu An and the young and ignorant Zhao Zheng made an agreement with each other. Lu An wanted to feed everyone in the world, and then Zhao Zheng could build a house.

Now there is still a very long way to go to this goal, and with Dongjun being included in the territory of Qin, this goal has a tendency to go further.

Zhao Zheng was stupefied. He suddenly realized a very terrible thing. In his eyes, the world is really miserable except for Qin, and there are too many people who can't eat enough. , and after these people belonged to the Qin State, how to feed them became the task of the Qin State.

He turned around and thought about it in the Weiguo palace group, and in the final stage, he asked his little friends, whether it is faster for Qin to beat one to feed the other, or to kill them all and then feed them. faster?

The little friends all looked at him with speechless eyes, and the emotion of "Your Highness, you are too inflated" in those big eyes was simply unstoppable.

Reluctantly, Zhao Zheng calculated how long Wei Jun could live, and then calculated the situation of Qin... Finally, he had to admit that even if he believed in the ability of his own army, no matter how capable his elder brother was, he might not be able to serve in Wei. Before the king died, he defeated all the six kingdoms.

But if the mountain doesn't come, it's me, and I can go to the mountain. Zhao Xiaozheng took time out of his busy government affairs to write and draw in private, recording how the Palace of Wei was designed and rebuilt, and then handed over the design drawings to Lu An.

It is said that when the time comes, the governor of Dongjun only needs to modify it according to the drawings, and it will be beautifully preserved and practical.When Lu An approved the renovation plan and put the design drawing in the warehouse for storage, Zhao Zheng looked calm, but his eyes were shining. Lu An was a little confused for a while whether his brother liked building houses I still like to live in a house.

But at that time, he didn't expect that he would be transferred from East County so early, and now the task of building a house...

"Leave it to you, Junior Brother."

Han Fei silently glanced at the scroll in his hand that was said to carry the prince's heart, endured it again and again, but still couldn't hold back, "Brother, it's about the prince's education... it's better to be more cautious."

Lu An raised his eyes in confusion, and heard Han Fei say indifferently: "The prince can't be made now, and when he becomes the king of Qin in the future, no one can stop him."

"It's true that no one can stop him, but he can stop himself." Lu An smiled slightly, "Junior brother still doesn't understand the prince."

"The world in the eyes of the prince is bigger than that in your eyes and mine, and before he can achieve that goal, he must restrain himself."

"What if that day arrives?"

Han Fei gritted his teeth and said, "In front of Qin, today's Six Kingdoms are just lingering, and that day will come sooner or later!"

"When that day comes, won't the prince indulge his desire?"

When he said these words, Lu An was taken aback for a moment, and actually smiled.

"Junior brother thinks that the prince's goal is to unify the world?" Lu An shook his head: "Junior brother is wrong. Although the prince has not talked with me, I think his goal is much bigger than this."

"It's so big...it's not the work of one generation, and I'm afraid it can only be completed by the succession of the kings of the Qin Kingdom."

what is that?

"That is probably to let every inch of moonlight be sprinkled on the windowsills of thousands of households, so that everyone can recognize in their hearts that they are the people of Qin."

Lu An looked at Han Fei's suddenly shrunken pupils and said with a smile, "He hopes that everyone can speak Qin dialect, write Qin characters, and wear Qin clothes."

"It's not about coercing with swords and guns, but about admitting from the bottom of my heart that I am willing to admit that I am a Qin person. Everyone can be proud of being a Qin person in their hearts."

"For this reason, he can learn from the masters of a hundred schools of thought, recruit talents from the six kingdoms, and restrain himself from letting his desires cross the border."

"And you, do you believe him? This is a great wish that even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have never achieved!" Han Fei's face was full of disbelief, and he shook his head. How can it be……"

"If you can't do it in one year, it will be two years. If one generation can't do it, it will be two generations." Lu An lowered his eyes: "He is my younger brother. If he wants to do it, I will help him do it. He thinks he can. Then I'll trust him."

Han Fei shook his lips, and was completely speechless for a moment. There were too many thoughts flying in his mind. Even though he boasted that his mind was flexible, he couldn't find a word to spit out at this moment.

All his rationality is telling him—this is impossible, something that has never been achieved in the ages, but, but!

Whether it's the trembling fingers, the beating heart, or the increasingly rapid breathing, they all tell him his excitement and excitement.

Since Zhou destroyed Shang, the more than [-] princes who were enfeoffed during the founding of the country are now only seven big countries. If Qin State destroys all the countries, it can indeed be unified.However, how to govern after reunification is the biggest problem.

"Qin, if Qin is unified one day," Han Fei gritted his teeth and settled his mind, "How do we govern the country? If we divide up the feudal lords again, wouldn't we repeat the mistakes of Zhou?"

"Why do you have to entrust the princes to govern the country?" Lu An raised one eyebrow, glanced at him, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Junior Brother, you and I are not princes of the Qin Kingdom."

None of them are vassals of the Qin State, but they are all in charge of one side. The land that a county of the Qin State needs to manage is the same as the land of the vassal states that have not yet begun to annex when the emperor of Zhou sealed the world, and what they have done There is no difference between them and the princes, the only difference is that their wages are paid by the Qin government instead of the local tax, and the rights they can enjoy are also the rights and interests of the common people, and they are bound by the Qin law.

The prefecture and county system of the Qin State and the rapid development of the Qin State under this system have proved with their own examples that princes and kings are not necessarily needed to help the emperor govern the country.

This sentence rang in Han Fei's mind like a bell, and he suddenly understood the meaning of Lu An's words, and even understood Qin's ambitions.

Qin State really intends to implement the system of prefectures and counties to the end, and does not intend to establish princes again. However, the world under Qin State's governance will be the same as Qin State. It depends on individual talent.

Han Fei clenched his fist violently, and suddenly a strong impulse gushed out. He couldn't help but hold Lu An's hand, "Brother, when, when will there really be a day? Qin Guo really planned it like this?"

It was rare for Lu An to see his junior brother so excited. He would hold Han Fei's hand, "Whether there is a day, junior brother might as well come and see it together."

"I..." Han Fei's lips moved. Just as he was about to agree, the door was suddenly knocked open. After Lu An responded, the door was pushed open, and a small official came in to report, "Guardian Lu, General Wei, I have something urgent to ask." See."

Both Lu An and Han Fei were taken aback, and Lu An immediately said, "Please come in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a young man wearing a mysterious armor and a golden sword stepped in quickly. He glanced coldly, and Han Fei felt that the air around him suddenly shrank. He coughed dryly and let go quickly. He grabbed Lu An's hand, and took a step back. Lu An, who didn't realize it, stepped forward quickly, and was about to speak when Wei Liao grabbed his hand, "Senior brother?"

"Hush," Wei Liao whispered in his ear, "Hurry up and hand over the seal to Mr. Fei, and I'll take you back to Xianyang."

Lu An was taken aback, although he didn't understand why he was so anxious, but he didn't have any doubts about Wei Liaoquan, so he took out the handover document immediately, and there, Wei Liao told Han Fei the reason, "The king of Qin was ill, and the queen declared Jingxi will enter Beijing immediately."
