Hearing Cai Mo's words, Lu Yao suddenly felt awe. He had seen many children from the gentry family recently, but few of them were as capable of calming down and doing things in practice. Among them, there were even fewer people who were compassionate and compassionate.
So he took a step sideways and said to Cai Mo: "Those who are close but must be broad are kind. A virtuous brother is truly a kind person. No wonder he can appease the refugees and take the weight as if he is light."
Lu Yao said this sincerely, but Cai Mo was stunned. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "It is my wish to appease the refugees. But I am not good at ordinary affairs if I am not a person who is dedicated to the work. Such complex situations are not suitable for foreigners. If you don't hide it from your brothers, you can settle the refugees properly. This is the result of Huang Yi, a thief Cao, the thief of this county."
"So that's it..." Lu Yao suddenly smiled bitterly.
Although the Chenliu Cai family lasted for a long time, it was not a truly heirloom family. Before Cai Yong and Cai Zhonglang at the end of the Han Dynasty, most of their ancestors were white, and occasionally there were only one county magistrates. Since Cai Mo's great-grandfather, Cai Mu, was in Cao Wei, the Chenliu Cai family gradually became famous, but the highest among several generations was only 2,000 stones. But the young Cai Mo obviously had a bit of a bit of abandoning civil affairs and pursuing the free and natural style of a famous scholar, and was unwilling to focus on doing those complicated and detailed tasks. Perhaps decades later, the unique style of "the matter of being an official without officials and having no official affairs, and the mind of dealing with things without doing things" began in this era.
The "county" mentioned by Cai Mo is Ye County. According to the system of this dynasty, the county is the largest, and the small one is the chief. The county magistrate, and there are also chief clerks, record history, record history of the office, and write to the door, and list the officials and other officials. The number of officials changes according to the number of household registration. In small counties with less than 300 household registration, the quota is eighteen officials and four scattered officials. To the top county with household registration of more than 3,000 household registration, there are eighty-eight officials and twenty-scattered officials. The superiors of these people in front of them, Huang Yi, the thief Cao Guan, should be one of the officials in Ye County.
More than half of the 4700 households in Wei County lived in Yecheng. Ye County is naturally a large county, and the county magistrates should have many officials to deal with the affairs. However, this large county is also embarrassing. For many years, the jurisdiction of Ye County was both the sect kings and the garrisons of Yecheng, and the garrison of Wei County. Compared with the previous two, the status of the county magistrates was like a vast abyss, and the sense of existence was inevitably thin to a terrible level.
Lu Yao traveled to Yecheng several times, not to mention seeing him, it was the first time he heard that there were officials in Ye County who acted. Unexpectedly, he found that such talents were hidden among the minor officials. Perhaps no matter which dynasty or era, there was never a shortage of people who could do practical things. All they lacked was a system that allowed them to show their talents.
At this time, Cai Mo suddenly remembered something. He clapped his hands and pointed at a distance not far behind him: "Brother, these people are subordinates sent by Huang Zheng to deal with various matters. Now the refugees have been placed, and they have just said goodbye to me."
Lu Yao had long noticed the men who followed Cai Mo. These people were obviously the objects of great awe of refugees. Although they were wearing coarse cloth short clothes, their words and expressions were generous and decent; their actions were quite agile, and they seemed to have learned a considerable martial arts. Lu Yao did not check the accent carefully for a while, and regarded it as the family chorus of the Cai family of Chenliu.
At this moment, Cai Mo intended to introduce it, and Lu Yao realized that he had accepted the mistake. So he bowed and smiled sincerely: "Everyone, I'm working hard."
"The children of rural officials have only done some trivial things and dare not praise them." The leaders of several people took a step forward, bowed and returned their greetings, spoke very politely, and had a kindness that was neither humble nor arrogant.
In modern times, once a person becomes an official, his family becomes an official household, and both fathers and brothers and children serve as officials. These people are usually called the children of a certain official. Although they are not registered in the official official book of the court, they must respond to the recruitment and serve at any time. The person in front of him is the children of a temporary recruitment by Huang Yi, a thief Cao of Ye County.
"The thousands of refugees here rely on your help, this is not a trivial matter. The hard work of you has been seen by countless people, and I am not the only one who is deliberately praised?" At this point, Lu Yao asked loudly, "What do you think?"
Cai Mo was about to leave first, just wanting to rush back to the manor to shelter from the rain. After hearing Lu Yao's inquiry, he did not look back and replied in a word: "Yes, yes!"
The man shook his head: "Huang Zheng often tells us that the high-ranking officials in Yecheng are clustered and that every day they plan for the world. But even if the civil affairs are dirty, someone must do it. Hebei is in chaos, and a large number of people abandon their families and flock to Wei County. At this time, if there are people with bad intentions in the middle and provoke and incite, they are afraid that Ji Sang and Shi Le's thieves will reappear. We follow Huang Zheng to work hard, just to ensure the safety of the countryside, and we really never thought about anything else."
These officials and children are often driven by officials, but they have no advancement. Therefore, their status is very low, and Cai Mo is very concerned about them. However, Lu Yao did not want to be slow to treat them, so he said, "It's too late at this moment, and there is rain, so the road is difficult. We have worked hard for half a day, and we must be very sleepy. Why not just use some food here and stay for a night?"
As expected, it was the best. Several people looked happy. The man with the head-shaped look said, "It's so great, I'll thank you for your husband."
"What kind of gentleman! This is General Yingyang from Dai County!" A servant of the Yang family who was accompanying him shouted.
The man was shouted, but he did not look panicked, but instead showed surprise on his face: "It turned out to be General Lu Daoming, who destroyed the Huns, killed Ji Sang, and exerted his power to the Hu clan?"
Lu Yao repelled the overly attentive servant and said politely: "I dare not take it, I have a little reputation. I never thought you had heard of it."
"Huang Zheng often tells us about the deeds of the people of this dynasty. The faraway ones include the founding kings, He, Zheng, Shi and other famous officials, Du Wuku and Yang Shuzi, and the contemporary ones include Bingzhou Liu Yueshi, Longshang Zhang Shiyan, Jingzhou Liu Heji and others. A few days ago, they also talked about General Lu's pacification of the northern grassland of Dai, which is a rare feat since the founding of the country, and we only remember it."
These few words are more comfortable than ordinary flattery. Lu Yao couldn't help feeling a little satisfied. Then he thought: The thief Cao Cao's servant Huang Yi was indeed extraordinary. As a humble minor official, he used the deeds of famous ministers and generals as his daily entertainment. This insight must be the result of long-term close attention to the court's proclamations and rumors of travelers. The efforts behind it are enough to make ordinary people very ashamed... This person is definitely not something that has been living in the pond for a long time!
Thinking of this, Lu Yao caught a few steps and stood side by side with Cai Mo: "Huang Zheng's subordinates are extraordinary, and I believe they are even more outstanding. Unfortunately, Lu doesn't know if he has the chance to meet this virtuous official."
Cai Mo said inadvertently: "Huang Yi is an old official under my father. He said he is indeed talented. During the days I came to Yecheng, he has worked hard to take care of him and do a lot of things. Unfortunately, he really lacks literary quality and only understands the laws and regulations, and has no knowledge of the classics or metaphysics. No matter how he is, he will never be able to get a grade. This is how long he was wasted and he has to bow his waist for food and drink... If my brother has any objection, I will send someone to call him tomorrow."
Cai Mo's father, Cai Keyuan, was a general of the chariot and cavalry, and was an important assistant to actually represent King Cai in handling Yecheng's government affairs. Even though he had died in the king's affairs, the power of the high school was still there, and there was no problem calling out a few minor officials from poor backgrounds. His attitude towards ordinary minor officials was also very clear: he recognized his talents and used him to do things, but he would never give him the opportunity to leaps on the dragon gate.
Several children from the officials looked at each other, and one of them walked forward halfway: "But today, Huang Zheng sent his subordinates to various places to deal with it. Before leaving, he repeatedly reminded us that we should repay as soon as possible regardless of whether the trip was going smoothly, so as not to worry about the family. General Lu, we are very grateful for your stay. But Huang Zheng's words are still in his ears and dare not disagree. Companies can rest here, and I am willing to rush back to Yecheng at night to report the situation."
