As soon as the news spread that the Governor of Liaodong was ordered to open a mansion, it immediately caused an uproar throughout Liaodong. Although the territory was not closed, he had the power to open the mansion. What a respect and honor it was.
Immediately, Xia Xun issued a recruitment order. The recruitment order faced not only Liaodong, but also the entire Ming Dynasty. There are many unsuccessful scholars in the world. Some of them cannot write eight-part essays, but it does not mean that they have no ability to do things.
And most of them still regard serving as an official as their only goal in life. Some of these people must be willing to come and join the army after hearing the news of the opening of Liaodong.
In Liaodong, there are also many children of aristocratic families, generals, and even tribal chiefs who have high knowledge. Due to the environment they live in, they have been exposed to it since childhood and have strong ability to do things. Of course, their appointment will bring certain benefits.
problems, such as caring for each other will inevitably bring about certain corruption problems. Xia Xun is now employing people in an eclectic way.
Isolation and confrontation will inevitably bring about a series of hidden dangers. It is Xia Xun's idea to integrate first and then correct. Anyway, the shogunate officials are not appointed by the court, so they can come and go easily. If they are not suitable, they can be asked to pack up and go home at any time. Of course, there are still restrictions on these people.
Certain inspections and tests were required, and this work was undertaken by Imperial Ambassador Huang Zhen and Zhang Xitong from the Ministry of Rites.
There are also some officials who came, that is, exiled criminals and their families. In the Ming Dynasty, those exiled to the north were mainly concentrated in the Thirty Thousand Guards, Liaohai Guards, and Tieling Guards. Two of these three guards were in Kaiyuan.
The Tieling Guards were also close at hand, which made Xia Xun's selection easier.
There are various crimes for being dismissed from official positions. Some are on the wrong team, some show wrong feelings, some are embezzled and bribed, and some are unlucky. These people have been officials for many years. If they are used well, these veterans of the officialdom can lead those who have no experience in officialdom.
The experienced newcomer quickly established his shogunate team.
These people were personally selected by Xia Xun. The household department, which had initially reached a large scale, was now renamed the Civil Affairs Bureau and was still led by Mo Ke. Mo Ke sent Xia Xun all the information on the prisoners who were exiled in Liaodong and their families and piled them up.
After gathering two large piles that were as tall as a person, Xia Xun looked at them one by one in the study. The two Rose girls who had not yet given them away temporarily acted as his maids and assistants.
These two girls neither know Chinese nor speak Chinese, so they can only help Xia Xun and serve food and drink. However, using them to help does not risk leaking the secret. Now there are many people who want to squeeze into the shogunate, and they are doing everything possible to do so.
Even Xia Xun couldn't stand the offensive of asking for information. With the help of these two girls who didn't understand Chinese at all, no one could get any information from them.
Besides, the two girls have outstanding figures, curvy figures, chestnut hair, blue eyes, and milky white skin. At least when they are so busy that they are dizzy, they are quite pleasing to the eye.
"Shen Gujia, the Supervisory Envoy of the Fujian Province, was promoted to the county magistrate for accepting bribes. When the incident occurred, he was punished with a hundred rods and shackles on all the yamen. After three months, he was banished to Kaiyuan's 30,000 Guards. Well, no, you are a corrupt person and accept bribes.
, don’t want one!”
Xia Xun passed him with a stroke of his pen.
"Li Ruiyi..., Jianwen***, no!"
Xia Xun didn't look further. No matter how capable or noble his character was, he couldn't use any of the officials who had been dismissed because of the change of government. Unless the emperor wanted to revive him, this was a matter of principle.
Make an opinion. For some officials who are not qualified, Xia Xun will also take a look at their family members. Maybe he can find an available talent among his descendants. But for such political prisoners, Xia Xun will not even check the files of his family members.
I didn't even read it, just sealed it and threw it aside.
"Cen Ling, the recommendation was improper. The recommended county magistrate asked for bribes and was implicated. This can be used!"
Xia Xun put Cen Ling's information aside and picked up another one: "Fengfeng, the captain of Jixian County, is on duty at the Yamen, and he follows him as a maid... Haha, this person is quite romantic!"
Xia Xun read Feng Feng's criminal file and couldn't help but laugh. Feng Feng was a county lieutenant in Ji County, Henan Province. When he was staying at the Yamen, he took his pretty maid with him. In ancient Chinese families,
There is an unwritten "hidden rule", that is, a maid can become the sexual partner of the male master in addition to his wife and concubines, that is, the housemaid.
This county lieutenant is the police chief of Ji County. It is not unusual to have a few house-keeping girls in the family. The problem is that the Yamen is a solemn and sacred place. This guy is lonely when he is on duty, so he actually takes his house-keeping girl with him.
After arriving at the yamen, there was a lot of excitement, tsk tsk tsk, what a passionate night in the office! Xia Xun, who had not been intimate with his wife and concubines for a long time, couldn't help but have wild thoughts: "I haven't even tried it..."
Xia Xun glanced around, well... there was a beauty in his office too. Sanapova was fanning him behind him. He also remembered the name of another girl, Zilata, who was in another room.
The short table on one side was making iced sour plum soup with him.
That waist is so slender that it looks like it's about to break, those hips are round and tight, and those long legs are so long...
"Ahem!" Xia Xun coughed and quickly calmed down. If he continues to be distracted, he will make a mistake. The consequences of an office romance are too serious. This Fengfeng has been transferred from Henan to Kaiyuan. He is now working
Originally, shouldn’t we be exiled to Lake Baikal to herd sheep?
Xia Xun quickly lowered his head and continued to examine the information on the exiled prisoners: "Shi Nanxuanfu's local official Qin Dasheng rebelled, arrested his family members, rebelled against the party, and banished him to Kaiyuan. It's useless! Alas, there are so many scum. I want to start from
It’s really not easy to find a few usable ones there. This…, the prefect of Fuzhou, Wanshiyu, has just been exiled, what’s his crime?”
Xia Xun took a closer look and couldn't help but be stunned...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The sun is scorching, and when you look into the distance, you will see that due to the high air temperature, the heat waves produce a wave effect. The earthen castles and low mountains in the distance will ripple from time to time, creating the effect of looking through water patterns.
Huang Zhen opened his arms and said excitedly: "The weather is really cool!"
Xia Xun glanced at him, quickened his pace, and thought to himself: "This idiot!"
Huang Zhen didn't lie, that's how he felt. Although it was hot outside Guan, it was a kind of dry heat. Since the air humidity was not as high as that in Jiangnan, even a slight flow of wind could easily take away the heat generated on the body surface, giving
It gives people a cool feeling. Xia Xun has stayed here for too long. Huang Zhenzhen just came from Jiangnan, so naturally he feels that it is extremely cool here.
"My lord, please slow down, please slow down, I can't keep up with you."
Seeing Xia Xun walking away, Huang Zhen hurriedly picked up his robe and caught up with him excitedly: "My lord, you don't need to be so courteous and virtuous. Then Wanshiyu was exiled to Liaodong because of the impeachment of my lord.
He should be allowed to die here if he doesn't want to open his eyes. My lord, you are willing to take revenge on him. This is an external act without avoiding revenge. How generous and selfless he is, but he is still unwilling. You think he is Zhuge Liang, and you have to look at the thatched cottage.
Can’t make it?”
Xia Xun said: "Stop talking nonsense. If you don't want to come, just go back to the Yamen and rest."
"Okay, okay, aren't I here?" Huang Zhen mumbled and followed Xia Xun.
Xia Xun successively established the Judicial Department, the Civil Affairs Department, the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and the Commercial Affairs Department, etc., and selected some people from exiled officials, children of generals, Han people from Liaodong, children of tribal chiefs, and some poor scholars to serve in the shogunate.
, served in various errands. After discovering Wan Shiyu, the prefect of Fuzhou, Xia Xun was very happy. Among the prisoners he appointed, Wan Shiyu was the highest in terms of qualifications and status.
This man turned out to be the prefect of Fuzhou. Fuzhou was the place where the Ming Dynasty pioneered the trend. In terms of trade, even in the era when the Ming Dynasty strictly prohibited sea trading, private traders were rampant. He has been an official in Fujian.
Very rich management experience.
Furthermore, judging from the content of his letter to impeach himself, it can be seen that he has a sympathetic and partial attitude towards coastal smuggling and trafficking. This official obviously pays more attention to the livelihood of the people under his rule rather than the rules and regulations of the court. He
His political attitude and political experience, once used by me, will be an effective helper and will have a great effect in Liaodong.
So Xia Xun circled his name without hesitation. Unexpectedly, this old guy was quite stubborn. He refused such a chance to become an official again. This made Xia Xun feel that this person was even more useful.
So he imitated Liu Da'er and wanted to pay three visits to the thatched cottage. At this moment, Huang Zhen, the imperial envoy, was clearly playing the role of Zhang Fei, who was nagging at the side.
"Where is Luocheng Guard Wanshiyu?"
Xia Xun went out of the city in casual clothes today. Anyway, Daluo City and Xiaoluo City are close to Kaiyuan City, not far away. The accompanying guards are also wearing casual clothes. The so-called casual clothes are just not public clothes. People can still tell at a glance
It was obvious that he was an official of the imperial court, and the guards did not deliberately pretend to be ordinary people. They were still guarding him with swords on their bodies.
The guard guarding Luo City looked at him and didn't know who this gentleman was, but he knew that the official must be quite big. He hurriedly smiled and replied: "This master, Wanshiyu is no longer a guard of Luo City, but a
Tunler, if you want to find him, you have to go to the north corner of the city, where he is vomiting fat."
"Oh? Why was he removed from the post of guard? What crime did he commit?"
The soldier said: "Who knows? I just heard that there seems to be a senior official above who wants to use him. This man named Wan doesn't know how to promote him. The battalion commander was annoyed, so he dismissed him from the post of guard and bombarded him."
He went to work as a farmer."
Xia Xun and Huang Zhen looked at each other and asked, "Where is his home?"
"It's also in Beicheng. You go north along the middle avenue. When you get to the second row of houses at the end of Beicheng, go into the alley on the left. That's the house at the end."
"Okay, time to work."
Xia Xun smiled and entered Luocheng together with Huang Zhen. When they reached the entrance of the alley mentioned by the gatekeeper, Xia Xun whispered a few words to Huang Zhen. Huang Zhen laughed and said, "I'll go there now.
Don't worry, Sir, I will definitely handle it properly, Xiaguan just likes to do this kind of thing." After saying that, he happily ran to the alley.
"Who is this!" Xia Xun, who came up with the idea, glanced at Huang Zhen's back with disdain, straightened his chest, behaved like a gentleman, and continued to walk forward, following the smell of manure.
