Chu Qing had expected this, and had heard it said before, but even after asking, he didn't put his mind to it. If they could cultivate the land and reap good harvests, the relatives of the border army would cultivate it themselves.
Money and talent, this is the way to development.
Chu Qing now has money, but talent-related matters are a bit confusing.
"Governance of local areas, management of local economic talents..."
Chu Qing thought.
It is not that there are no civil servants at the border. There are many government offices that should be there, and there are also many civil servants that should be there.
But the important towns at the border are also called military towns. Serious civil servants, who will go there to serve as officials? Those who are relevant can be transferred. It doesn't matter if they pay money to be transferred. It doesn't matter if they have no money. Most of them are in politics.
He was transferred there after the struggle failed.
Chu Qing has also been filling in a lot of information recently. The presence of civil servants in the border army is very low, and he has never heard of any talents. Fusan, Jiang Yuesheng, and Tanma all have a say in this.
One can imagine how miserable the civil servants were in a border border full of military personnel.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away, but the soldiers are not as easy to talk to as the generals in the capital. They use civility to suppress the military, saying no at all, ranging from two punches to bang bang, to two knives.
In the early decades, in border areas, the fatality rate among civil servants was the highest.
One is because of the environment, a bitter and cold place, where scholars can’t eat well, sleep well, can’t bear it, and die.
Another one is that he had a conflict with the generals. He couldn't prepare for it and died inexplicably one day. Once he was killed, he was buried somewhere. When he reported it to the superiors, he was told that he died of illness. No one cared about it or checked.
, low-ranking civil servants behave with their tail between their legs, but high-ranking officials will not go that way.
Looking back at Jiang Yuesheng, Chu Qing asked: "Over at the border, the person who manages people's livelihood is the county magistrate or the prefect. How do they generally coordinate with the border troops?"
"Civil officials who are mainly border troops and can serve as officials in important border towns respect the military very much and do not interfere in military matters."
Jiang Yuesheng smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, the local civil servants have nothing to do. There are very few people under their rule. Most of them are relatives of the military. For example, in the six camps and twelve towns of Border Pass, everything for the people is related to the military. Civil servants also intervene.
Unable to get started."
Chu Qing let out a slight oh, and once again thought about the civil servants he knew and heard of, but there was still no suitable one.
It’s not that you don’t know the talents, but people are doing a good job in Beijing and Zhong. Why are you doing border checks for them? Isn’t this a deception?
As a young person, I don’t know anyone, and the people I usually hang out with are all uncles and uncles.
Patting his forehead, Chu Qing asked again: "How is Tao Weiran, the county head of Xiao County, doing now?"
"It's not so bad. He's still the magistrate of Xiao County. Xiao County produces stone. In less than half a year, the people of Xiao County live and work in peace and contentment under the rule of chickens and dogs."
Chu Qing hesitated.
Xiao County was harmed by the great devil Li Mu before, but it was able to restore people's livelihood within half a year, which is a testament to Tao Weiran's ability. If he was brought to the border, he might be able to help.
Jiang Yuesheng reminded: "Sir, Tao Weiran is a person who has been praised by the emperor."
"Brother, the emperor also said that Tao Weiran will always be the county magistrate of Xiao County. So if he works until he is seventy years old, he will be the county magistrate for another forty years?"
Chu Qing still has this confidence, and he is not a high-ranking official. As long as he agrees, it doesn't matter what the fourth child said, and Xiao County is on the right track. As long as he changes to a county magistrate who is not too bad, it will be fine.
question.
"Have someone go to Xiao County and bring it to Tao Weiran."
After Chu Qing finished explaining, he continued to think.
This time, after much deliberation, I really can’t think of anyone else to take it to.
Looking up at Nangong Ping, Chu Qing was happy.
Not to mention, if you bring it to this kid, it will really help a lot. The main reason is that this kid has strong organizational skills and his personality can get along with the soldiers.
"You should go back first and talk to your uncle. See if your uncle can agree."
"Okay, then the student will resign now."
Nangong Ping knew that the eighteenth prayer was just short of the last trembling, so after saying goodbye, he hurried back to Nangong Mansion to add trouble to Nangong Xi.
Chu Qing looked back at Fu San: "Third brother, you have been away from the border for so many years. Maybe a lot of things have changed. Do you know anyone who is familiar with the border? It is best to have only returned to Beijing in the past two years."
"We know each other."
"Where is it?"
"In the dungeon."
Chu Qing didn't react for a moment. He frowned and thought for a moment, wondering whether to laugh or cry. Then he remembered that Fu San was talking about Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi has been back to Beijing for almost half a month, and he has done three things. The first thing is that he was assassinated. The second thing was that he was imprisoned in a dungeon. The third thing was that he was beaten by Bihua. After the beating, he continued back to the dungeon.
Squatting.
"Why are you still locked in there? Didn't you tell him the truth?"
"Er Gou told him." Fu San laughed and said, "But I didn't dare to let it out. After all, he wanted to be violent with you at that time. Er Gou wanted him to have a long memory."
"What's the current situation?"
"After knowing the truth, I felt extremely guilty."
"Let someone bring it to him and ask him something."
"Okay." Fu San went out and called out. After a while, Xiao Yi brought the two men in.
Xiao Yi has gained weight again and his face is quite rosy, but his face is quite embarrassing.
Before he could speak, Jiang Yuesheng imitated the appearance of Fu San before and took the lead.
"Do you know why you have been locked up for so long?"
"I know." Xiao Yi saluted Chu Qing: "The general was blinded by the lard and became violent with the Lord."
"No." Jiang Yuesheng said with a serious face: "You almost ruined Feng Shuai's plan. The detectives of the Qianqi Battalion were all men in the frontier army. They were afraid that someone would look at you and get angry and kill you, so Mr. Chu did this.
You're locked up in a dungeon."
Xiao Yi glanced at Jiang Yuesheng with a look on his face that said, "You think I'm an idiot."
The scouts were able to move around the dungeon unimpeded. They really didn't like me and they could have killed me no matter what.
Jiang Yuesheng was confused: "You don't believe it?"
Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment.
He wanted to believe it, but he was afraid that people would think he was a stickler. He said he didn't believe it, but he was embarrassed.
"Sit down first." Chu Qing pointed to the stool with a smile: "Let's forget about the past. If you attack this commander, it will be easier for you to lock you up for a few days."
Xiao Yi looked grateful.
It's true, Qianqiying is the emperor's personal army, even if Chu Qing was killed on the spot, no one would hold him accountable.
Looking at Xiao Yi with a majestic and upright face, Chu Qing was both angry and funny.
"Let me ask you, if your superior had told you the truth and said it was Feng Shuai's plan instead of a rebellion, would you have come back to inform you?"
Xiao Yi lowered his head and shook his head slightly.
Chu Qing had mixed feelings and didn't know how to comment on this matter.
It's not true that the border troops only recognized Feng Shuai and not the imperial court. They were bleeding, sweating, and crying, and they couldn't take care of their wives, children, and children. How could they continue to work for the imperial court?
Chu Qing understood, but disagreed.
But whether he agrees or disagrees, if he were a general of the border army, he would do the same thing.
Therefore, it is impossible to tell who is right and who is wrong in this matter. In this world, right and wrong are not clear-cut, and the boundaries are also very blurred. It is not possible to distinguish right from wrong by relying on a book of laws. But there is one thing that no one can deny.
, the court, the monarch and his ministers owe the border troops too much.
"Are you still willing to go back to the border?"
Xiao Yi raised his head: "Can the general go back?"
"Yes, I will take you back." Chu Qing said with a smile: "It's not a big deal. You didn't betray the frontier army. It's just that your superior officer was an idiot. He didn't tell you that he wanted to rebel, but he mentioned King Wu."
Xiao Yi nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "That's it. I am afraid that the generals will be deceived by the King of Wu and lose their lives in vain."
