The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

In the early winter, except for reviewing the counties of the counties, the county government basically does not have much political affairs.

The materials used for the bookkeeping of each volume are all high-quality bamboo slips, the color is soft and does not hurt the eyes, and the fonts are all correct official scripts, with silkworm heads and swallow tails. It has the beauty of stretching and agility, and it is even enjoyable to watch.

Bamboo slips and fonts are both beautiful, but the content on the slips has been read for a long time, but it is quite exhausting.

The brief notes were all about the specific work of each county in the last year. Xun Zhen was a county magistrate not long ago, and he seldom came into contact with such things before. These things in the county must be clearly understood, and they should not be distracted when they are boring. They also need to pay full attention. It’s okay to read one or two volumes, but after reading five or six volumes, you can’t help but feel tired and overworked.

Sitting at the desk and kneeling for too long, her neck, shoulders, and ankles were sore. Xun Zhen pushed aside the bamboo slips, sat up straight, stretched her legs, rubbed her shoulders, and looked at the trees outside the hall under the bright sunshine, and sighed sincerely: "In the past, I heard that the officials were diligent and diligent in the administration, and thought it was easy to hear, but I was more interested in the generals to cut down the barbarians and harass the barbarians and open up the frontier for the country. Now I know that it is easy to raise the barbarians to run rampant and show prestige to open up the frontiers. also."

The three armies are easy to obtain, but a general is hard to find, and so is governance. A good official who is good at internal affairs is difficult to find.

Xun Zhen thought of Xun Yu again, but Xun Yu also had his future, but before the world was in chaos, he was useless.

Xun Zhen rubbed her shoulders, neck, legs and ankles for a while, picked up her pen, and drew a circle on a spot on the bamboo slip, called the master bookkeeper Shang Zheng, and ordered, "Take it to Ji Cao, and order him to be changed."

Shang Zheng took a look, his face changed, and he asked, "Can you remove this official?"

"With so many bookkeeping books, I'm tired of just reading it, but not writing it? Forget it this time, no need to punish him, just ask him to change it."

Shang Zheng complied with his promise and went out with this scroll of bamboo slips in his hand.

But it was the Cao official in the county collection who copied the slip made a typo. According to the Han official law, mistakes in the format of official documents and typos are subject to punishment, and even dismissal in serious cases. Xun Zhen is merciful, as long as he does not make big mistakes, such small mistakes are usually not investigated and forgiven. Earlier in Zhao County, he forgave a small official who vomited in his car after being drunk. Now in Wei The county also upholds this kind of benevolence.

For him, this may be just "benevolence in one thought", but for officials who make mistakes, it is related to their own future. This is how people's hearts come and gather, and the name of benevolence is just a little bit.

The weather was good today, the sun was warm and the wind was blowing, and the face was not cold.

Because of Chen Yu's death, he was in mourning for his watch. He hadn't been out of the house for a long time, and some of his sons had not been out of the county. Even Qiuzhong last month, he just took a look around Ye County. go away.

Last month's autumn planting went very smoothly in all counties. After all, the preparations were done well in the early stage, and grain seeds and farm implements were not lacking. It's going well.

Although it was the first time to settle the fields and lack of experience, there were various troubles during the period. The biggest trouble was the organization of the settlers. Nearly 10,000 descendants have been divided into nine divisions and each is located in each county, but each division has thousands of troops. There are people up and down, among them there are descendants, some of their family members, female relatives, and children. If we want to organize farming in an orderly manner, we must also prevent them from causing chaos. This is not easy to do, but it will eventually be resolved. Well, at the end of last month, I finally got all the land to plant before the autumn planting season ended.

Xun Zhen hadn't visited these farms yet, he wanted to see them.

He summoned Gong Cao Wang Cong, and the master bookkeeper Shang Zheng, and told his plans.

Wang Gong frowned and said nothing.

Shang Zheng was not happy anymore, he said with a stern face: "The county has been in chaos for years, and the government treasury is empty. It is not as good as before. The last time Duke Ming went to the county, the expenses were not small. The purchase of grain from Yingchuan and the purchase of agricultural tools from Zhao County were also very expensive. The judge went to the capital a few days ago to make a plan, and the county gave out money and food. It is estimated that there is not much left in the government treasury. If the Duke of Ming travels again, I am afraid that within two months, even the monthly salary of the county officials will not be paid. get up."

Shang Zhengxing was honest and upright, but Xun Zhen was not angry even though he was criticized by him, he smiled and said, "The autumn harvest is over, and the first money, more taxes and other taxes in the counties have also been collected. You can send it to the county hall if you don’t rì, how can the county be so embarrassed as the master said?”

"Although the autumn grain and tax money in the counties have been collected more, they have not been sent to the county government. There is an accident, and money and food are urgently needed, what should I do?"

"The county is stable now, less thieves, what can I do?"

"Even if there is nothing to do, if the Duke of Ming travels, he will be greeted by the locality. This is also an act of disturbing the people. This autumn harvest and autumn planting are completed. Wenren Lord Mingjun is responsible for the health of the people. In the past, He Chang was the prefect of Runan, established chūnrì, and often summoned the postal supervisor to return to the mansion. lift?"

"This……."

"The Duke of Ming came to the county, and the thieves chased the stolen goods and benevolent the people. The people of the county thought that they had won the wise and wise ruler. Now, if they disturb the people's travel, they may damage the name of the order."

When encountering this kind of loyal, upright, and hard-hearted minister, Xun Zhen was also unable to do so, so she had to put away her thoughts of traveling and said to Wang Cong with a smile, "Shang Qing, this is also a straight minister."

This sentence is a compliment to Shang Zheng, but it seems to be ironic to Wang Cong's ears. Wang Cong's position in the county government is higher than Shang Zheng's, but he is far inferior to Shang Zheng in terms of loyalty, but it is not right to say that he has no principles, he is also a very principled person, but he strictly abides by it. This principle was not what Xun Zhen wanted. In the past few months, no matter how Xun Zhen "felt kindness and righteousness", he remained unshakable and maintained a "respect and distance" attitude towards Xun Zhen. However, Shang always kept a distance from Xun Zhen and refused to get involved in the struggle between Xun Zhen and the Zhao family.

Before he was promoted by Xun Zhen as the county meritorious officer, he was the postal supervisor of the county, and the post supervisor was responsible for the "supervisory county", not only supervising the officials in the county under the Ministry, but also supervising the local tyrants in the county under the Ministry was one of his responsibilities. , he has been sitting in the post of the county governor for a long time, and he must know very well the violations of discipline and disorder by the children of the Zhao family in his counties. If he is willing to vote for Xun Zhen, it can save Xun Zhen a lot of energy.

It's a pity that he is so "principled" that he refuses to turn to Xun Zhen.

Xun Zhen couldn't do anything about it.

Wang Cong has been in the official sea for a long time, and his face has been cultivated long ago. Although he felt that Xun Zhen seemed to be ironic to him, he sat calmly, his face did not change, and he echoed: "Shang Qing's remonstrance is very true, he is a straight minister, and he is clear. The public is generous and generous, following advice like a stream, and also illuminating the master.”

Xun Zhen laughed.

Although he accepted Shang Zheng's advice and stopped thinking about leaving the county, he could summon Jiang Qin and the others to meet him.

Xun Zhen then passed on to the south of the county, and ordered Jiang Qin, Ren Du, and Yuan Pan to choose rì to come to the house.

When he arrives, he will ask questions about the Tuntian in person.

Ren Du had been in charge of Xunzhen's private wealth in his early years, and he was originally from farming. Yuanpan had been in Taiping Dao before, and had been a teacher who taught Taiping scriptures. He had many disciples, and he was also quite capable of organizing. From Jiang Qin and Ren Du, Xun Zhen learned that in the process of organizing the army to subdue and settle the fields, Yuanpan Looking forward to great credit.

Xun Zhen encouraged him and said, "Yuan Qing has worked hard, and I will reward him." Dian Wei, who was serving outside the hall, was ordered to go to the back house to get a bottle of Pu Tao wine and a box of bean paste, ready to give to Yuan Pan.

When Dian Wei was instructed to fetch these two things, Xun Zhen said to Jiang Qin and the three: "Wei County has been rioted by thieves, and the counties and counties are poor. Some time ago, the counties reported the number of grains harvested this autumn, which is not true. There are many, because of the chaos of thieves, the number of households has shrunk a lot. Although the autumn planting last month was not bad, the number of acres that can be cultivated is not as good as in previous years. Even if the weather is good, the summer harvest next year will not be very good. , the farmland is not only related to the income of the county government, but also to the ration of the county population, the ministers must not be underestimated, they must be careful and meticulous, and allow no loss."

The three Jiang Qin agreed.

Dian Wei brought Pu Tao wine and bean paste and brought them to the hall. Xun Zhen motioned him to hand it over to Yuan Pan. I hoped to accept it.

At present, the production of grapes is not much, and there are not many people who know how to make Putao wine, so this wine is rare and expensive. , people at that time value it, but Xun Zhen is not used to it, and after traveling to this era, he also drank this wine and tasted it, so in addition to opening a bottle, let Chen Zhi, Chi Mai, Tang I drank it, and left the rest untouched for reward.

Jiang Qin and Ren Du had envious expressions on their faces.

Jiang Qinba snorted twice, smiled and said to Yuanpan, "Old Yuan, this wine is a gift from the Duke of Ming, you can't keep it private." The implication is to share it with Yuanpan.

Yuanpan was not stingy, and said: "If you talk about the merits of cultivating fields, Boqin is the greatest, and Adu is second, and I hope that this little merit is not enough to mention, I really don't dare to give it to the Duke of Ming, but I don't dare to say it, I don't dare to give it up. Drink with you."

Ren Du pointed to the box containing the bean paste and asked Xun Zhen, "Ming Gong, what is this precious sauce?"

Bean paste is an ordinary thing, but this box of bean paste can be used by Xun Zhen as a reward, and it was taken out with rare things like Pu Tao wine, so it should be a special thing.

Xun Zhen said, "Although Pu Tao wine is expensive, in my opinion, it is not like a box of bean paste."

"Oh?"

Jiang Qin and Yuan Pan's curiosity was also hooked by Xun Zhen, and they sat silently, watching Xun Zhen intently, waiting for him to talk about the wonders of this box of bean paste.

Xun Zhen said leisurely: "My wife knows that I miss my hometown, so she sent me some good things from my hometown. I arrived at the mansion a few days ago, and there is a jar of bean paste in it. After the hometown bean paste, I have a great appetite these days, and I eat rice."

Ren Du said, "It turns out that this box of bean paste is from my hometown."

"Of course, Qing et al., is it more precious than Pu Tao wine?"

Jiang Qin and the others had different opinions, but they couldn't say "no", they all said, "That's true."

The diets of Ji and Henan are similar, but there are differences, especially in the taste of bean paste, which is a must-eat condiment. After Xun Zhen said that, Jiang Qin and the others were also a little greedy. Jiang Qin and Ren Du both said, "Ever since Duke Ming left the county, I have been away from home for a long time, and I also miss the flavor of my hometown. There is so much bean paste, and Duke Ming has given me some."

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "All, all."

Dian Wei was ordered to take out two more boxes and distribute them to Jiang Qin and Ren Du. Xun Zhen also asked for this opportunity to distribute a few more boxes and ordered people to leave Ye quickly and distribute them to Xuankang, Chen Bao, Gao Su, Jiang Hu, Li Bo and other Yingchuan people in various counties, and to Liu Bei. , Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei also have a box for each person. Although Liu Guanzhang is not from Yingchuan, Xun Zhen has the delicious taste of his hometown and did not forget to share it with him, showing that he has them in his heart.

After Xun Zhen killed Zhao, it was very likely that he would die. Jiang Qin, Xuan Kang and the others could not follow him. If the relationship between people was separated for a long time, it might become weak. Xun Zhen now needs to further deepen her relationship with Jiang Qin and others.

If you want to deepen your relationship~www.readwn.com~ just giving money and silk is not enough, no matter how much money is given, it is only a matter of interest, and you cannot get a loyal person. If you want to make Jiang Qin and others loyal to him, even if he is being The court pursued him, but he was still loyal to him, and with that sentence, he was able to end it with "kindness and righteousness".

Kindness is not only manifested in the big aspects, clothing, food, housing, and transportation, starting from the small, such as chūn weathering rain, moisturizing things silently, and more able to win people, just like Liu Bei, who slept with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei earlier, and ate the same. Shi, acting like a family, this is the kindness and righteousness that can win people's allegiance the most. Xun Zhen also wants to make Jiang Qin and others feel like his family, and this kind of relationship is the strongest.

Thinking that Du Mai, Fan Tan, Li Xiang and others were being bought by Zhao Ran, Xun Zhen asked someone to give Du Mai and Fan Tan a box of bean paste each, and a winter coat to Li Xiang, so as not to look awkward , together with Chen Wu, Chen Dao, Wenpin and other people who were not in the prefecture and whose native place was not Yingchuan also sent one winter coat each.

A box of bean paste and a winter coat are not worth a lot of money, but Xun Zhen's deep heart is revealed. Even if Du Mai, Li Xiang and the others were moved by Zhao Ran's bribe, they would have hesitated for a while after receiving these two things, and they might have turned down Zhao Ran instead.

Xun Zhen left Jiang Qin and the three to stay in the county mansion for one night, and sent them out of the mansion the next day.

After the three of them were sent away, Xun Zhen continued to read the book for a long time, and then returned home at noon for dinner.

As long as he wasn't too busy, he would practice fencing, shè, and throwing throws for a while every day, using his strength to stay out of trouble. After the meal, he went back to the room and put on his martial arts clothes. Fang stepped out of the house. Unexpectedly, someone was wandering outside and bumped into his chest.
