The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 2 Chapter 17: push the merits

Xie Wu followed Xun Zhen a few steps to the side and asked, "What's the matter with Xun Jun?" He winked, thinking he had guessed what Xun Zhen was thinking, and smiled narrowly, "But you want to ask me What kind of reward can I get for tonight's credit?"

That's not what Xun Zhen wanted to say, but since he started talking, he followed suit: "I was about to ask Xie Jun."

In the Han generation, there are many ways to enter the office, and there are three most common ones. One is election, such as filial piety, prosperous talent, virtuous founder, Mingjing, Mingfa, etc.; The ministry, the county governor, and the county court were eliminated as officials; the first was the way of officials, starting from small officials, and gradually promoted after accumulating merits. In addition, there are recruitment, selection of candidates, military service, etc.

Xun Zhen was not elected to an official position, nor was he expelled from an official position, but followed the "official road", that is, "excellent learning and serving, starting in the village, originally serving as a small official, ..., accumulated over time, ... ..., moved to shepherd's guard, and entered as Taisi".

Like him, Xie Wu was also an official. He first served in the county, studied official affairs, and then became an official in the county. After a few years of fighting for food, he was appreciated by the county lord at that time for his merits. He was recommended to the county, but was promoted. For "orderly rose husband". Because of this experience, although he is not a big official, he is still very familiar with the advancement and promotion of officials.

He pondered for a moment, then said: "The official advancement of officials is nothing more than the word 'valiant reading'. Boss, but I heard that since you became the pavilion chief, not only has you never had a leave of absence or private return, but you have also given up on resting and bathing many times. You are very worried about the public! In terms of attendance, you are first-class and excellent, which is enough to make up for the experience. It's not enough." "Retirement" is to ask for leave, and "private return" is to go home during normal office hours. The former is fine, the latter is strictly prohibited.

"..., your performance is not only excellent, but also the accumulation of merit. You are the pavilion chief for three months, guiding people to be kind, convincing the powerful, buying mulberries for the people, and helping the orphans. The people all take the monarch as their parents. He also trained the people in the li, prepared the pirates in winter, made the thieves fear and dare not violate the border. Tonight, he was more resolute and decisive, brave enough to serve, and rushing to help the neighbors. This can be described as a special merit. That's it!"

"..., you are very worried about the Duke, and you have accumulated merit. Whether it is attendance or merit examination, since this year, none of the officials in the county has ever been a monarch. In the censorship book, the monarch must be the most. I heard that, The county magistrate wanted to make him a county official before, and with tonight's efforts, he will be overtaken! It may take five days at most, or three days at least, and the county court will arrive..." He patted the cyan ribbon on his body. , said with a smile, "There must be a cyan ribbon to give to Xun Jun! ... The red ribbon on Xun Jun's head should also be replaced. Haha."

The "valley book" is the credit book, which is the basis for the promotion of officials. Anyone who has made credit must have a book in the book. "You must be the most", "most" is the first. In the promotion of officials, the Empire places the most importance on the selection of the best and the best. Those who get the first place in the assessment will be promoted and reused, which is the so-called "class promotion". , and more often they will be promoted by leapfrog and “over-relocated”.

Xie Wu is worthy of being an "old official", and the analysis is very reasonable. Although Xun Zhen has been serving as the pavilion chief for a short time, he has indeed made a lot of credit. Start a "supermove". The "green cyan ribbon" and so on, alluding to the fact that the county magistrate is likely to give him a "hundred stone official" position this time. The pavilion chief is just a fighting food official. Strictly speaking, he has not yet entered the stream and cannot be on the stage, but the "Hundred Stone Officials" are different, and they are eligible to wear the seal.

Xie Wu laughed a few times, but saw that Xun Jun was not happy, he was very puzzled, stopped laughing, and asked: "Xun Jun will be promoted, why not?"

Xun Zhen said in his heart: "All the officials in the county, who are under the meritorious Cao, either bury their heads, or run under the gates of the chief officials, and are confined to one court, and they have no freedom at all. Laizhen is not as long as a pavilion, at least it is the slaughter of ten miles, able to make friends with heroes and gather people.... 'Hundred Stone Officials'? Hey, I'm not bad for this amount of money!" Glancing at Xie Wu Wearing the blue cyan ribbon on his body, he thought again, "But this time I have made a lot of credit. As Xie Wu said, I will definitely be promoted. The county official is not what I want, but I have to say it, This 'Riuji's husband' is also an official of the Hundred Stones!"

——This is why he took Xie Wu aside to speak privately, but he took a fancy to Xie Wu's position.

He thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say it with his mouth. Su Rong said, "Xie-Jun is 'having rank' in this hometown. Although I am not your subordinate officer, you can still be regarded as my superior officer. Tonight, although I was lucky He has made a small contribution, but how can he bypass Xie Jun and go directly to the county court to accept the reward and promotion? Besides, if there is no Xie Jun's command tonight, then there will be three Xun Zhen who are afraid that they will not be able to save it. Liu Zhuang!"

Xie Wu blinked, scratched his ears, and seemed to suspect that he had heard it wrong, and asked, "If there is no command from me, Ruo Ding?"

"Yeah! The reason why Liu Zhuang was able to save tonight was first because Xie Jun commanded Ruoding, and secondly because Zuo Jun was dispatched by the formation.

Xie Wuba snorted twice, as if to taste the meaning of Xun Zhen's words.

He heard Xun Zhen's hint, which was obviously "giving gong"! But why? It's not normal to give up such a big credit. He carefully observed Xun Zhen's expression, as if he was studying some profound problem, but it was a pity that Xun Zhen lowered her eyebrows, and only a humble expression was exposed outside. Since he couldn't see anything from his expression, he simply stopped guessing, and said bluntly: "Thank you for your kindness, Xunjun, and give me the credit. Just how is your intention? Please tell me bluntly!"

Talking to smart people is easy. Xie Wu's implication: What is the exchange condition for you to give me the credit?

Xun Zhen didn't hide it, and said, "Although the green cyanide is good, it is not my wish to bury my head in the county. It is my ambition to serve in the village and do some practical things."

"Although the cyan is good, do you serve in the village?" Xie Wu touched the cyan ribbon on his waist and asked tentatively, "..., does Jun Xun want to wear my seal?" "You Zhiqiangfu" is a hundred stone official who can wear a cyan ribbon.

Xun Zhen smiled and said nothing.

Xie Wu knew that he was acquiescing, and after a little thought, he thought in his heart: "I have worked as Qiangfu for many years, and I have no credit or hard work, so those who have not been promoted are just because they are still a little short of time, and now he will get some of the credit. It is enough to be promoted. After my promotion, the position of Qiangfu in this township will naturally become vacant. He was born in the Xun family, and now he has made great contributions, so it is only natural that he should be promoted.  …, although I don’t know why he is unwilling to be a county official. , but only want to serve in the village, but as long as I speak a few good words for him in front of the county lord, give him a recommendation, and add the letters of praise from the big family Liu Weng and Feng family in this township, it should be feasible to take over as Qiangfu. ."

After thinking about it, he felt that he was 90% sure, and he did not pretend to be hypocritical and refused to accept it at the moment, and said cheerfully: "If you have this ambition, I will help myself. Although it is customary, the husband of Qiang is mostly from the local people. But you are a son of a famous family, and you have excellent grades in Zhiting, and you are grateful and praised by Liu and Feng from your hometown, so there should be no problem in taking my post."

Xun Zhen bowed to the end: "So, thank you so much!"

"Why be so polite? You thank me, I thank you, the best of both worlds!" Xie Wu smiled and said humorously, "It's not worth my surname Xie!"

"There is one more unkind request."

"Please say."

"Benting begged Du Mai for the robbery, and he has always abide by his duties. Chen Bao, the patriarch of the pavilion, has always been diligent and responsible. Tonight, the two of them summoned the people of the city and rushed to rescue them. If you can move to the position of Qiangfu according to the auspicious words of the king, then the post of the head of Fanyang Pavilion, I secretly think that Du Mai is suitable for his use, and asks for the position of robbery, Chen Bao is also sufficient."

"Xunjun, you are really a benevolent gentleman! You don't forget your subordinates. You can rest assured, I will definitely recommend you."

Xun Zhen said it beautifully, but he actually recommended Du Mai and Chen Bao out of selfishness.

He was in Fanyang Pavilion for three months, and he extended his favors all over the pavilion without asking for anything in return. What did he do? The purpose is to pull up my own team~www.novelmt.com~ Now it has a little effect. With a team of more than 100 people, of course I don’t want to give up because of promotion. Therefore, I recommend Du Mai, who knows the bottom line. Take over as the head of Fanyang Pavilion, and then use Chen Bao as his deputy, so that he can continue to control the team in his hands.

After the two finished talking in private, Xie Wu called the left ball over and euphemistically explained what Xun Zhen meant.

Zuo Qiu, as a wanderer, is in charge of preparing for bandits and catching thieves. Xie Wu may be able to get rid of the matter tonight, but he has no shirk. He is worrying about how to explain to the county magistrate. , It was a joy from heaven, and I was overjoyed immediately. When I looked at Xun Zhen again, it was like looking at a benefactor. How could I even think about Xun Zhen's motives? He replied without a word: "I don't dare to say anything else in the position of living and wandering in the lower house. I can still say a few words when it comes to the pavilion chief and the person who seeks theft. I will do my best to recommend Du Mai and Chen Bao. !"

...

All three were happy when the transaction was completed.

Xie Wu and Zuo Qiu didn't dare to stop for a long time, and they escorted the three thieves and rushed to the county center overnight with the bitter master Chen Weng. They didn't bring many people with them when they came, Xun Zhen lent Du Mai and Chen Bao to them, and picked a few chivalrous men to take on the responsibility of escorting them.

Before parting, Xun Zhen specially called Du and Chen to the front, and said meaningfully: "Tonight, you two have made a lot of contributions. After you go to the county center, if you have the opportunity to meet the county magistrate, remember to take good care of you. Performance!"

Du Mai and Chen Bao were not stupid, and immediately guessed what Xun Zhen meant. Du Mai blushed excitedly, and kept his promise. Chen Bao was very calm, just smiled lightly, and handed it over.

After sending them away, Xun Zhen checked the Liu family Zhuangzi before and after to make sure that the fire had been put out, leaving a few people to guard, and restraining the remaining slaves of the Liu family not to move without authorization, and then went with Xu Zhong. , Feng Gong, Jiang Qin and others left and returned to the pavilion.
