Chapter 7: New officials take office
When he woke up the next day, an old official came over to knock on the door. Zhang Zhang went to answer the door. Then, outside Gao Jin's house, he said to Gao Jin who was meditating and regulating his breath: "Young Master, an old official has come, please ask your master to go to the office to work in the capital."
Gao Jin responded, after dressing neatly, he was the first day of this era to work. When the old official saw Gao Jin, he hurriedly saluted: "Yang Sen, the old official under the rule, met Lord Changshi."
Gao Jin nodded: "I just took office and I know nothing about the military governance. I will ask you for advice in the future."
Yang Sen smiled and said, "Sir Changshi is so polite. If you have any questions in the future, it doesn't matter."
So he took Gao Jin to the hospital. The so-called military management was actually just a small office. There were only a dozen servants in the hospital. But what made Gao Jin unhappy was that most of these servants were old, weak, sick and disabled. Among the more than a dozen people, there were four people of age like Yang Sen, and most of the others were crooked. There were also a young man who kept coughing after saying a few words, and his body was as weak as a bamboo pole. Every day, he saw such people wandering in front of him, which made Gao Jin think that he was not the chief of the military management now, and it was more appropriate to say that he was the director of the nursing home.
When Gao Jin arrived at the capital, all the servants came to visit him. Gao Jin asked them to work on their own. When he sat on the desk, he felt a little uncomfortable and called Yang Sen and asked: "What is my official duties? Since I am governing the army, should I send the servants to the streets to inspect and see if there are any officers and soldiers who violated the ban and do not abide by the ban?"
Yang Sen looked at Gao Jin in a strange way: "You don't have to work hard, you just need to take a nap. If you are upset, you can ask some servants to talk to you with you, and you don't have to pay attention to the rest."
Gao Jin said in surprise: "This is how Changshi works?"
Yang Sen said: "It was not like this before, but it has been like this in recent years."
Gao Jin asked carefully and realized the reason. The rule of governing the army was left in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The prefects of the prefectures and counties all appointed a chief of soldiers to supervise the army and also helped the prefect to command the army. This position was originally very prominent, and it could be said that he was the second military leader of one state and one county, with great power. However, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, at the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, local warlords began to rise, and the world was divided, and the position of the chief of the Changshi began to decline. The reason was that the powerful began to become the arms of the warlords. Warlords no longer needed the chief of the army to govern the army. For example, the current Lu Bu army had eight strong generals and leaders of the Taishan bandits. These people each had their own military and horses. If their soldiers violated the military order, the chief might not dare to ask.
The so-called beating of dogs depends on the owner. Punishing soldiers who violate military orders will also cause the general who controls these soldiers to lose face. While punishing them, they will offend the general who commanded the soldiers. It was for this reason that the previous Chief Shishi punished the soldiers in Sun Guan's camp. Sun Guan was so angry that he led his troops to surround the Changshi's mansion and killed the Changshi's family.
Reporting this matter to Lu Bu, it was left alone in the end. If Sun Guan was punished, then the Taishan bandits who worked for Lu Bu with Sun Guan would probably be disloyal. As the head coach, what else could Lu Bu do besides turning a blind eye?
After listening to Yang Sen's explanation, Gao Jin remembered why Gao Shun asked him to be cautious yesterday and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He hoped to have a free position, but he didn't expect that the position was so leisurely, so he didn't say anything silent, and felt secretly happy. He wished he could be free and free, and took the opportunity to practice well.
Two hours passed in front of the desk. Gao Jin seemed to be closing his eyes and resting, but in fact he was practicing in a state of concentration. Those servants saw Gao Jin not making any noise or moving, and they did not dare to disturb him. They all said that the military commander, Lord Shi, had a very good concentration, and sat for two hours. It seemed that Lord Shi was a slow man, and such a person might be able to stay here for longer.
At noon, Yang Sen brought the food box and asked Gao Jin to have a meal. Gao Jin used it quickly. Yang Sen said: "Sir Changshi, the back hall has been cleaned up. If you are tired, you can go to the back hall to rest for a while."
Gao Jin nodded. At this time, a shout came from outside. Gao Jin heard the stranger and only heard someone shouting: "Today, the rioters robbed the shop again, why did the governing office ignore it? What is the reason?"
"Don't disturb the matter. Today, Lord Changshi has just taken office. Where are there any riots? Go away quickly, otherwise you will be punished."
…………
Gao Jin frowned and asked Yang Sen, "What happened outside?"
Yang Sen seemed a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid it's the group of merchants who don't know anything about it, and the soldiers worked hard to defend the city, so they deserved some of their goods..."
Yang Sen was halfway through his words, and Gao Jin had slowly stood up: "Go out and have a look."
Yang Senbu's face was a little unnatural, and he quickly lowered his voice and said, "Sir, this matter cannot be managed by the military administration, otherwise he would offend several generals..."
Gao Jin smiled indifferently: "Can you see it? Let's go." After saying that, he had already left. Yang Sen shook his head and smiled bitterly, so he had to lift his robe and chase him.
In the outer courtyard of the capital, several merchants were excited and thought about the janitors who were guarding the door. The janitors held hands and were very happy to stop them from entering.
Gao Jin came over slowly and shouted: "What's the noise?"
Everyone was stunned, and the servant guarding the door hurried over to greet him: "Sir, it's a few profiteers who are making trouble."
Gao Jin looked at the angry businessmen and said calmly: "Just cause trouble?"
One of the old businessmen came over and said, "Sir, the young ones dare not cause trouble. But this morning, there were riot soldiers plundering the shops, and dozens of shops were snatched away. The young ones were so angry that they only hoped that the adults could make decisions for the vendors."
Gao Jin could not see his joy and anger on his face, and he said calmly: "Can anyone prove it?"
Several businessmen said together: "We can all testify, and neighbors and neighbors can also interrogate."
Gao Jin stopped talking. To be honest, he had never handled any official duties. He didn't even get involved in a student union cadre in college. This was naturally the first time he happened to be. He didn't know how to handle the matter properly. He glanced inadvertently and saw Yang Sen who was catching up with him constantly winks, he waved to Yang Sen: "Yang Sen, come here, I have something to ask you."
Yang Sen hurried over and whispered: "Sir, you must not control this matter. Most of the riots from Mount Tai. These people used to be bandits of Mount Tai. After taking over General Lu, they had a bad habit. In addition, Zang Ba and several generals covered him, even General Lu turned a blind eye. If he was in charge, someone would inevitably come forward to make things difficult for the Lord...
"Besides, these merchants are not good things. Cao's army besieged the city, and the city was short of food. They hoarded goods and raised prices. In previous years, a stone of rice has increased by 120 yuan, but now a stone of rice has increased to 1,000 yuan. Even General Lu disliked these merchants very much and could not find an opportunity to rectify them. If the adults stood up for them, a great disaster would come."
Gao Jin said: "The merchants hoard goods and some people take care of them, but it is another matter to indulge soldiers and bandits to rob. I only ask you, how should you handle this if you encounter such a thing?"
Yang Sen had to bite the bullet and said, "If his ex-girlfriend, Mr. Liu, he would personally go to the looted shop to check it out before making a decision."
Gao Jinhe nodded, walked to several merchants, and said calmly: "Take me to the shop." He stretched and sat in this restaurant for a whole long time, but he was a little tired. It was necessary to go out and move around to activate his muscles and bones. Gao Jin had a calm attitude towards those robbing shops. At that time, he would just see if he could clear it. There was no need to offend people.
Several merchants were overjoyed and quickly thanked him. He led Gao Jin to turn a few streets and saw a messy street market. Most of the shops along the street were messy. The flagpole supporting the store flag was obliquely slanted. The high counters used some weapons to poke holes. One of the merchants said: "Sir Changshi, the soldiers came from the Mao period. As soon as the shop started, they broke in and ransomed money and materials. They had already agreed on money every month, but these soldiers were unreasonable, but today they had to add them. We were doing small businesses, so how could we withstand such blackmail? If we were dissatisfied, they robbed the shop and left, asking the adults to make decisions for us and the people."
Gao Jin nodded: "Do you remember the appearance of those rioters?"
The merchant shook his head and said, "There are countless people, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the city. How can I remember that I asked the adults to come and punish them, but I just hope that the adults can say hello to the generals so that they can see the adults and restrain the soldiers..."
Gao Jin nodded, just saying hello. As for whether the generals listened to him, he had nothing to say. He was a newcomer and could not do anything sensational. It would be better to handle this matter like this.
Thinking of this, Gao Jin couldn't help but touch his nose and couldn't help but find it funny. As soon as he took office, he was already infected with a bureaucratic atmosphere. What would he become in the future? This may be because he was a little sleek.
After a while of silence, he thought about his words and said to several merchants: "I know how to handle this matter. You can do business with peace of mind. In a few days, I will send a few servants to inspect here. If there are any riots coming, you can report to the government at any time."
Several merchants were so grateful that they cheered.
At this time, a noise came from the corner of the street not far away. Gao Jin had good eyesight and could vaguely see several soldiers knocking on the door of a house on the street. Soon, the soldiers broke into the door and called for help. Gao Jin frowned and took a step forward involuntarily. Yang Sen, behind him, had reached out to pull his sleeve and whispered: "Sir, it's not too early to go back to the office to do official duties." He pressed his voice even lower and said with a greeting: "The clothes of these people are the guards of which general. The reasons for such a complicated matter may cause unintentional disaster."
Gao Jin saw several soldiers tied up a young woman and chased an old woman from the house. He cried and frowned, and had a bottom line in everything. If he saw the merchant being robbed, he could still remain calm. After all, these people had wealth and at most they would only lose property. However, seeing someone looting people in broad daylight, this was something he could not tolerate. He made up his mind, but he became more calm and calm. He looked back and chuckled at Yang Sen with his hands in his arms and said, "What's the point? Let's take a look at the excitement."
After saying that, he walked over first.
Three or two of the seven or eight soldiers were tied up with a young woman and dragged it out. Some people laughed evilly, and some took the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. The others blocked the old woman who was chasing out, shaking her shaking swords and guns, and making loudly intimidate. The old woman was on the verge of fainting, and her throat rolled out of her silence, and the crying of a child was faintly heard from the house.
Passers-by saw this scene and avoided them. The doors of the houses along the street were also closed. Gao Jin brought Yang Sen over, which attracted the attention of a soldier. The soldier was obviously the leader. He looked up and down at Gao Jin, sneered repeatedly, and shouted loudly: "Get out quickly, it has hindered our official duties. You must not afford to be guilty."
Gao Jin focused on the tied young woman. Seeing her disheveled hair, her clothes were torn apart, revealing her snow-white skin. In the messy hair, only a ray of eyes that were like a deer burst out, looking extremely panicked. Gao Jin took his eyes back and landed on the soldier, smiling and said, "You can still be so arrogant when you force a robbery girl in the street, you are considered to be the only one."
Several soldiers who stopped the old woman also came over when they heard the sound. They seemed careless, but they happened to block Gao Jin's retreat. One of them seemed to be the leader. They grinned and showed their yellow teeth. The flat nose wings shrank twice, staring at Gao Jin: "Children Huangkou, how dare you even care about grandpa's affairs?"
