Don’t think that just because the word “join the army” means you are a military attaché?
There is also an official in Luoyang named Captain Shuiheng, but little does he know that he is in charge of money and is truly the God of Wealth.
Don't think that Li Shixian once served as a "Chinese soldier and participated in the military", which has a similar name as "Cang Cao participated in the military". Then this officer should not be low-ranking and can lead the army?
One is "Zhongbing" and the other is "Cangcao", but they are thousands of miles apart...
This officer seems to be in charge of everything, but he doesn’t care about soldiers:
In charge of civil service exams, pretexts, salaries, public houses, countryside, food, medicine, and residence
In charge of cooking, cashiering, market transactions, fishing, and cooking;
In charge of ceremonies, warehouses, food and beverages, payment of services, inspections, provincial office copying, supervising seals, giving paper and pen, market transactions...
What a good guy, he can manage so much, and even manage the evaluation and salary of officials. Sounds like he has a lot of power?
Big yarn.
Li Chengzhi first needs to think about it, how many heads, hands and feet does he have?
With so many responsibilities, split him into ten parts, can he be busy?
This official is a turbid official who can't be more turbid.
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the so-called honest and corrupt officials did not refer to whether the official was corrupt or not, let alone whether the official was fair? Ming.
It has nothing to do with whether one is literary or martial.
It just refers to the difference between doing more work and less work.
The so-called honest officials refer to officials who are free, have little control, and get paid more.
On the contrary, it is like giving Li Chengzhi a Cang Cao to join the military. He has to work hard and tire himself out, and the donkeys pulling carts for officials are easier than him.
The only advantage is that there is a lot of money and water... The reason for "watching" means that it is not enough to just have the courage to be greedy, but you must also be able to live with it...
It also depends on which level of Cang Cao joins the military. The lower the level, the more arduous the responsibilities and the less oil and water.
Therefore, this type of official position is actually mostly reserved for common people and children from poor families.
If you still don’t understand, just think about it. In some units, people not only have formal employees, but they are also relatives of the leaders.
Not only are you ugly and have no background, you haven't even landed ashore yet, and you are still a contract worker... I wonder if you still dare to be greedy?
Li Chengzhi dares to be greedy and can live with it, but why is it necessary?
Just grabbing two handfuls of those two buckets of glass beads and selling them is more than what he spent a year as a military officer...
For him, there are not too many ways to make money, and he is not arrogant. Li Chengzhi really doesn’t care about money.
Therefore, this official position is worse than worthless to him...
He was suspicious and looked hard at the token in his hand, trying to figure out which yamen this official belonged to.
Among the twenty-four dynasties, there was no official system more chaotic than that of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
The same official title can be divided into positions that differ by two or three grades in different territories and organizations.
Just like the Cang Cao assigned to Li Chengzhi to join the military.
If this is an official affiliated with Jingzhou Governor's Office, he is probably in the eighth rank.
But if you are an official of the garrison, you must at least be promoted to the third level, that is, from the sixth level.
It’s impossible to think about it.
He had no official position before, and the court's rewards were definitely not so fast. Therefore, this official is equivalent to his starting official, so it has nothing to do with whether he is clean or dirty, only the grade.
But even among high-ranking families with the five surnames Cui, Lu, Zheng, Wang, and Li, their direct descendants are rarely promoted to the eighth rank.
Li Chengcheng looked at Zhang Jingzhi and then at Xi Kangsheng. Although he thought it was impossible, he couldn't help but ask.
"I'm taking the liberty... Is this officer under the control of Zhang Sima?"
Does it mean the one from the sixth grade?
Xi Kangsheng was so angry that he laughed: "Li Chengzhi, what are you dreaming about? Ask Feng Zhi, who is he?"
Li Chengzhi's face turned dark immediately.
You mean, this official is the eighth-grade miscellaneous official who belongs to Jingzhou Governor’s Office?
And the kind that is more tiring than a donkey?
What are you talking about?
Seeing that he was silent, Xi Kangsheng still didn't know what he was thinking, so he couldn't help but sneered: "What, you think the official is too small?"
Is this more than just a matter of minor officials?
If Zhang Jingzhi hadn't winked hard at him, Li Chengzhi almost couldn't hold back and nodded.
Seeing that he didn't show any hint of complacency, but stared at him with scorching eyes, almost asking questions, Xi Kang was so angry that his tooth ached: all my hard work was in vain...
"Idiot...idiot...get out...get out..."
Li Chengzhi was startled when he saw Xi Kangsheng stretching out his hand as if to pick up the wood on the table.
If I didn’t say it was inappropriate, why would I turn my back on you?
He ran down like a monkey and quickly lowered his head.
A piece of gavel flew away after grazing his scalp.
All the bureaucrats below were stunned.
The most important thing for an official is dignity. From the Zhima Official of the ninth rank to the three great masters of the first rank, who is not careful in speech and smile, and calm in joy and anger?
Xi Kangsheng has been in charge of Guanzhong for several years. How can these officials not know what kind of character he is?
The power is like a mountain, the words are right and the words are fierce, life and death are taken...
If you were someone else, you would have been whipped so many times, beaten with a cane, or even had your head chopped off in front of you. Would you be allowed to run out like a monkey?
Even a fool knows how much Xi Zhenshou loves Li Chengzhi?
The officials who had stood near Li Chengzhi and complained about Xi Kangsheng were already fighting with each other and sweating profusely...
Xi Kangsheng felt so tired.
Is this the first time I encounter this kind of subordinate who never tries to figure out his intentions, but instead has to worry about the superior and want to remind his subordinates all the time?
Thanks to Zhang Jingzhi and Yang Yanrong for praising him for his unparalleled wisdom?
Blind?
Xi Kangsheng stared at Zhang Jingzhi suspiciously: "Could it be that, just like he was granted the title of county lieutenant before, Li Chengzhi didn't know what it meant to let him serve as a military officer?"
Zhang Jingzhi clasped his fists and bowed: "To guard, I wanted to give him a heads up, but in the past two days, Mr. and Mrs. Huaide have been around Chengzhi all the time, and I really haven't found a suitable opportunity..."
Never leave your side?
It seems that you are distressed, right?
Seemingly feeling the same, Xi Kangsheng sighed sadly: "What a pity the hearts of parents in the world..."
Hearing this sentence, Zhang Jingzhi felt so weird.
Poor?
Li Shixian and Guo Yuzhi just took pity on Li Chengzhi, right?
After thinking about it, he still felt that it would be better for Xi Kangsheng to understand Li Chengzhi's current situation.
"I don't know if it's a pity, but if the official had arrived even a breath or two late, Li Chengzhi would have been imprisoned by Li Huaide and his wife in the Li Family Temple to practice family law..."
Xi Kangsheng shook his beard: Really beaten?
But if you think about it carefully, you really should fight.
Just because Li Chengzhi was greedy for power and rushed forward, his tribe was almost exterminated due to a mistake. If he were Li Shixian, even if he was the legitimate son, he would definitely break Li Chengzhi's legs...
In this era of equal emphasis on family law and imperial power, even the emperor would not be able to comment on such a thing, and Xi Kangsheng naturally had no choice.
He snorted again: "You bastard... warn him, if he still dares to be picky, it is not certain whether Li Shixian will be beaten or not. I will give him a discount on his legs first...
He was reluctant to give him the title of impeccable county lieutenant because it would make others mistakenly think that he was adding insult to injury to Hu Baozong.
Well, let’s change to a Zhuoguan with a thicker oil and water. Is that okay?
Not satisfied yet?
What does Li Chengzhi want to do? Does he want me to ridicule someone for giving up this guard to him?"
Although Xi Kangsheng's tone was harsh, Zhang Jingzhi was not very afraid, knowing that these were Xi Kangsheng's threatening words.
He responded respectfully: "Don't worry, guard. Chengzhi didn't know the reason and misunderstood the guard's intention to protect him... Later, his subordinates will definitely clarify his doubts..."
Don’t blame Xi Kang for being so angry.
He had originally planned to let Hu Baozong ascend and descend secretly, vacate the position of Longdong County Lieutenant, and then give it to Li Chengzhi.
But Li Chengzhi didn’t agree...
I really don’t agree.
Of course, Xi Kangsheng relied on his status, and no matter how much he admired Li Chengzhi, he would not be able to say such things to a junior like him. It was Zhang Jingzhi who persuaded Li Chengzhi after learning about Xi Kangsheng's intentions, but Li Chengzhi did not hesitate.
I refused.
After Daxi found out, he ran to enlighten Li Chengzhi again, trying to make Li Chengzhi understand: Friendship belongs to affection, and official duties belong to official duties. This Longdong County Lieutenant was not taken from Hu Baozong by Li Chengzhi, so why can't he do it? p>
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, Li Chengzhi yelled back: Will there come a time when you, a top-ranking middle-level professional, can do it in my place?
At this point, everyone knew that Li Chengzhi was really not making excuses.
Da Xi admired him so much, otherwise he would have been scolded so hard that he wished he could empty out Hu Shichang's private treasury...
At this point, the matter of the county captain was over, and Xi Kangsheng turned to the next best thing and arranged the current "Cang Cao's military affairs" for Li Chengzhi.
The main reason is, of course, that although this official is a turbulent official and his rank is not high, he cannot stand up to the breadth of his management, which means that he has included all the benefits in the entire Jingzhou Governor's Mansion.
In addition, Jingzhou is full of waste and is waiting for development. When great governance is established, the daily money and food will probably be spent like water. A miscellaneous official who is usually inconspicuous suddenly becomes important and popular? No matter who Xi Kangsheng is, he will feel uneasy.
After much deliberation, I chose Li Chengzhi out of recognition of his character.
To put it bluntly, Xi Kangsheng has this idea: No one can prevent corruption anyway, so it is better to arrange Li Chengzhi, who is relatively ethical. Even if he is greedy, he will not be greedy too much.
There is also the intention of asking Li Chengzhi to make up for the expenses incurred when raising troops.
As for Li Chengzhi’s previous idea of letting the Hu family subsidize...
What joke are you telling?
Even if the Anding Hu family doesn't know the truth about Hu Shichang's death, Hu Shichang's death means that all the plans have come to nothing. Hu Hai will only be able to cash in for Li Chengzhi.
It is even less likely that the imperial court will provide this part of the expenditure to Li Chengzhi. At most, it will give the Li family more land...
But Li Chengzhi did solve his urgent need. In both public and private matters, Xi Kangsheng could not pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he made such an arrangement.
Anyway, for him, it’s just a piece of cake.
When the imperial edict of granting rewards came, Li Chengzhi had already earned enough, so naturally it was time for him to be granted a title and promotion.
But who would have thought that Li Chengzhi would still be unwilling...
It's not that Li Chengzhi doesn't want to be an official, he just doesn't want to be an official trapped under Xi Kangsheng's nose.
Not surprisingly, there has been no deviation in history, and Xi Kangsheng will soon be moved to the post of governor of Jingzhou and continue to be in charge of Guanzhong.
From now on, under Xi Kangsheng's nose, Li Chengzhi will be like the monkey in the palm of Tathagata. No matter how much he tosses around, he won't be able to make any waves.
Therefore, this Longdong County Lieutenant cannot be killed.
In fact, what he cared most about was the title of Captain Xiaoguan that Hu Shichang had given him before.
The mountain is high and the emperor is far away!
Although Xiaoguan is not far from Jingzhou, it is not close either. Moreover, it is one of the important passes guarding the pass. Naturally, the guard cannot leave it lightly. Xi Kangsheng will not recall Li Chengzhi to Jingzhou without any trouble, and it is even less likely.
He always went to Xiaoguan to inspect.
Moreover, the pass guard also has great autonomy. In addition to guarding the pass, he also has to guard the mountain. A casual inspection of such a large section of Longshan would take three to five seven to eight days.
As long as you arrange it properly, it's absolutely fine to take a trip to Hexi on your own time.
Not mentioning this, even for the purpose of easy contact with Li Song and others, Li Chengzhi would rather be a postman than be trapped in Jingzhou City...
……
Li Chengzhi leaned against the wall of the back office sickly, like an eggplant beaten by frost.
He was waiting for Zhang Jingzhi, thinking about asking for advice on what happened today.
Given Xi Kangsheng's trust and appreciation for him, he shouldn't have given himself such an official title...
Seeing him listless, Yang Shu wanted to laugh more and more as he looked at him.
He also thought that Li Chengzhi could really regard his fame as dirt.
Hearing the noise, Li Chengzhi looked up and found that Yang Shu and Zhang Jingzhi were coming hand in hand.
Knowing that he was in a bad mood, Yang Shu couldn't help but want to tease him: "It's such a happy event for you to be promoted, but you don't even want to be your host and treat us to a drink?"
Li Chengzhi sighed quietly: "Why does Duke Yanrong come to make fun of the juniors?"
After saying that, he turned his head again and looked at Zhang Jingzhi: "May I ask Sima, is there any room for change in this matter?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"What good thing are you thinking of? Do you really think that making fun of the guard order is child's play?"
Yang Shu was angry and laughed at the same time and said, "Do you believe that you can be punished on the spot for the serious crime of disobedience?"
Zhang Jingzhi said nothing, but shook his head, meaning it was absolutely impossible.
Li Chengzhi frowned and sighed uncontrollably.
Although it was just a temporary measure and this official position would definitely not last long, he always felt that if he missed this time, once he waited for the imperial court to award the reward and seal it, he would 90% not be able to make a trip to Hexi in a short time.
.
Are we really going to let Li Song and others run wild across Hexi?
If he doesn’t take a look and make proper arrangements, Li Chengzhi will be worried...
Thinking of this, Li Chengzhi's thoughts changed slightly.
Zhang Jingzhi should be able to guess what he was worried about, but why didn't Xi Kangsheng even remind himself before he gave him this official title?
Just as he was suspicious, he heard Yang Shu laugh loudly: "Don't be resentful about this position of Cang Cao... Did Feng Zhi and I recommend you to the governor?"
Not only Yang Shu, but also Zhang Jingzhi?
Li Chengzhi was dumbfounded and almost asked "why"!
"First, there is no one under the guard and a certain subordinate who can be used. Second, although this position is humble, it has great power. Now that the matter is huge, I have to hand it over to others. I, Xi, guard and I are really worried..."
Li Chengzhi curled his lips secretly.
What are you worried about?
I don’t believe that such a big city like Jingzhou can’t elect a few honest and upright officials?
You have to push a raw talent like me into such a tedious position as big as sesame seeds and mung beans.
Even if you can't become Captain Xiaoguan, you can still get a military position...
I don’t know what Li Chengzhi is thinking, otherwise Yang Shufei would look bad at him.
Seeing how depressed he was, Yang Shu felt even more amused: "Don't worry, it's just a temporary measure...Besides, how can I deprive you of your benefits?"
After speaking, he paused again and said in deep thought: "I have to go back to Jingyang first and hand over the affairs of the county clearly before I can take office. I will let you relax for a few days. After I turn around, it won't be too late for you to take office again..." Happy?
It’s more like being depressed...
After half-complaining, Li Chengzhi’s eyes twitched.
What does it mean?
Listening to these words, my official and direct superior is actually Yang Shu?
Yang Shu got promoted?
He didn't even have time to ask, Yang Shu raised his hand and said: "You two, I will take the first step..."
Immediately, he took the reins of the horse from his hands and stepped on the horse.
Everyone had walked more than ten feet away, but Li Chengzhi still hadn't recovered yet: "Mr. Yanrong...are you going to leave the car?"
The governor must be Xi Kangsheng, no one else has to think about it.
If you want to be your own Shangguan, there is only one assistant governor left, so leave Jingzhou behind.
As for the previous farewell... even Hu Shichang had to be held accountable, let alone his assistant?
From the governor on down, the main officials in Jingzhou City are all awaiting punishment. The only difference is whether they are imprisoned in the government like Hu Duo.
But from Longdong County Cheng to Jingzhou, there are two or four grades in between. How did Yang Shu jump so fast?
"Is it so fast? Whether he can take a step forward and take charge of Longdong County is still unknown..."
Zhang Jingzhi shook his head, "It's just that Xi Zhen's subordinates are temporarily unavailable, so it's just an expedient measure. Duke Yanrong is only temporarily assigned to Jingzhou Biejia. As for who the Biejia position will ultimately be, it depends on how the court decides.
..."
It turns out that it is only temporary, just like me, the sesame official.
But that's not what Li Chengzhi cares about.
He asked calmly: "When will Duke Yanrong come back?"
If he had enough time, he could do it...
"This is not a promotion. You can leave as soon as the official seal is issued? It is to work in two places. Naturally, you have to explain it clearly to your subordinates and arrange it clearly. It will take more than ten and a half months at the earliest..."<
/p>
Halfway through, Zhang Jingzhi looked at Li Chengzhi with deep meaning: "It just so happens that you can use this free time to take care of your housework as soon as possible so that you can concentrate on your errands..."
Ten days and a half month?
Li Chengzhi's heart beat "bang bang bang".
Listen carefully to the second half of Zhang Jingzhi's sentence, it is obvious that he is hinting at himself.
But I just don’t know that the matter between him and Zhang Jingmo that he hinted at is still a clan matter.
Li Chengzhi's intuition is that it should be the latter...
Just as he was startled and doubtful, he heard Zhang Jingzhi say: "Two days ago, the guard informed Gaoping Town General Yan Ti that he wanted the Gaoping Town Army to move out of Xiaoguan and be stationed by the government army...
The candidate for captain has not yet been decided, but the garrison ordered me to go on inspection first, so as to determine the approximate number of soldiers, money and food, equipment and accessories, etc... I want to set off tomorrow. If you are free, you can accompany me, too.
So you can help me give me some advice..."
Li Chengzhi was shocked.
This is no longer a hint, but a clear statement. How could he still not hear it?
Zhang Jingzhi not only calculated the time for himself, but even the road was paved...
Li Chengzhi took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the throbbing in his heart: "This junior will definitely have some free time. Sima only needs to let you know when to leave..."
"It's more than four hundred miles from Zhoucheng to Xiaoguan, so I have to leave as soon as possible... Tomorrow at the beginning of Mao time, you will come to the government office to look for me..."
After replying, Zhang Jingzhi looked at Li Chengzhi again and said slowly: "There is also the position of counselor, you really don't have to worry about it... The reason why I recommend you is not only to let you help Duke Yanrong, but also to let you help Duke Yanrong."
Give me a helping hand and wait for more than a month to help me exile the troubled people..."
Where did the rioters come from?
Aren’t you already killed by yourself?
Seeing that Li Chengzhi seemed stunned, Zhang Jingzhi couldn't help but sneered: "Have you forgotten how many of the '200,000 people' Liu Huiwang claimed at the beginning of the uprising?"
Li Chengzhi muttered.
If not 100,000 were killed, there would still be 70,000 or 80,000, right?
Besides, you said it was "known as"...
Just after muttering a few words, he was startled again.
Really?
I was in a dead end for a while, and I actually forgot about Liu Huiwang's ambush to deal with Xi Kangsheng?
To be honest, in terms of battle formation, that battle was more heroic than that fought under Jingzhou City, with nearly 100,000 troops on both sides...
Correspondingly, wouldn't it be true that Xinping County and Quai County, which were used by the rebels to place ambushes, as well as Wuzhi, Li Wenxiao's home base, all became lost places?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
In these places, the people who either volunteered or were coerced became "rebels" themselves.
The strange thing is that Xi Kangsheng did not kill everyone like in his previous life, but was exiled?
It is estimated that this rebellion was put down too easily. Xi Kangsheng's losses were not big and he did not accumulate so much violence.
"How many?" Li Chengzhi asked subconsciously.
"Not many, only 40,000 to 50,000 people." Zhang Jingzhi replied, "But even if there are few people, we must carefully place them to avoid a resurgence... The original intention of the guard is to exile them all to Hexi... But it depends on how the court decides...
…”
"Where?" Li Chengzhi suspected that he heard wrongly.
Li Chengzhi stared at Zhang Jingzhi as if he were a god.
What else could be wrong?
It’s simply not too appropriate...
He finally understood why Zhang Jingzhi asked him to serve as "Cang Cao's military officer"?
As long as it is within the territory of Jingzhou, there is nothing that this official does not handle when it comes to money, food, population, etc. As for how much has been collected, how much has been used, how much has to be transported when the rebellious people are exiled, and whether any of them are strictly prohibited from circulation by the imperial court.
There are not many forbidden things that can be manipulated.
What's more, Zhang Jingzhi is responsible for transporting and relocating the refugees, and Li Chengzhi is definitely responsible for escorting the supplies. Wherever they are transported, he and his son-in-law can have the final say...
He really didn't expect that Zhang Jingzhi had not only thought so far-reaching, but also had already done what he should do, and would pave the road that should be paved smoothly...
Li Chengzhi felt hot in his heart, admiring and grateful at the same time. He wanted to say a word of thanks, but his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't spit out even a single word.
I always thought that if I was standing on the first floor, even if Zhang Jingzhi stood higher, the second floor would be almost the same?
Who would have thought that I was in the basement while someone else was standing on the roof?
