Chapter 11 A Great Confucian Arrives
Huiquan's mouth twitched slightly, Zhang Mo was considered a traitor and was very straightforward to his position. He was right. In the face of this overall situation, you, an eighth-rank county magistrate from a poor family, can't even be considered cannon fodder. That person's methods were a bit despicable, but the situation was very big.
Before he could speak, there were rapid footsteps outside the door, which were very loud. This was a reminder to the people inside. Although it was just a small county town, there would be no less rules on the official's face.
"What's the matter?" The county magistrate and the county magistrate usually don't bother. No matter which side you belong to, they will leave room for the two of them.
"Reported, there was a fleet of official ships at Hengshui Wharf. Reported again, the mansion report I just received, Lord Yao, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, asked to exile for five thousand miles and flow out of the clouds." Outside the door was the head of the housekeeper, who was one of the eight chief officials in the county.
The small matter of reporting the news should have been brought by the minor official, and the owner of the house reported it personally, which shows that he was anxious and was even more afraid that the minor official below would not be able to explain it clearly.
The official ship fleet, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, asked to exile himself, and the two messages were put together, which was a bit intriguing.
Zhang Mo lowered his head and said nothing. He didn't know much about the things in the court. He didn't recognize this Lord Yao, but his official position was very clear and a third-rank official.
The Great Zhou Dynasty was in charge of the government affairs hall, and there were three prime ministers. Under the government affairs hall were six ministries, each with one minister and one minister on the left and right. The system was based on the left title and the right honor.
Translated to mean that there are three prime ministers, one chief and two auxiliary ministers, followed by six ministers and twelve deputy ministers, and these twenty-one, forming a supreme leadership body responsible to the Emperor of the Great Zhou.
The prime minister is the first rank, the second rank of Shangshu, and the third rank of the minister. This is the real power official.
In addition, there are many high-ranking officials, but they do not have real power and have high positions but not heavy power. They are incomparable to these positions.
"Mr. Yao Qianyao...Mr. Zhang County Magistrate, please welcome me." Huiquan said in an exclaiming voice.
Hell, no matter what happens to a big man like Yao Qian, Dibao will spread throughout the Great Zhou as soon as possible. Dibao and the fleet arrive at the same time. How is it possible?
There is a border county in Tuiyun Prefecture, which is the southwestern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is naturally not a good place. However, it is like spring all year round, with pleasant climate, and there are cold mountains in the south, so the sea breeze cannot go north, and the cold air in the north cannot blow here. Although the mountains are high and dense, the area of farming is not large, it is enough to ensure that the local people seek survival.
Such a place is naturally not a place for exile. Occasionally, officials who are exiled here are just dirty things in the court and are difficult to deal with, so they choose Izumo.
Not to mention the level of the Minister, officials of the sixth rank or above have never heard of any exiled Yun.
The two hurried out, and donkeys were already prepared outside. Zhang Mo didn't know how powerful Lord Yao was, but he still had to do what he should do. He said while walking: "Send someone to the south of the city immediately, clear out the empty Zhang family's old house, and then send someone to inform Zhang family's old family. Ask the people in the household to mobilize donkey carts. Can the Ministry of Rites know how many official boats there are and how big the boats are? Can you tell how many people there are around Lord Yao?"
After implementing one by one, the two county magistrates and officials had already arranged everything they should have been arranged before they left the city. Huiquan saw Zhang Mo clearly arranged the matter without knowing anything. He had to admit that this local poor family who had fought with him for three years was indeed a rare official.
Lan County is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the Han River. There are three piers of Hengshui, Luoshui and Weishui on the Baili Water Road. Among them, Hengshui Wharf is the largest and can be docked at the same time.
On the Hengshui Wharf, three official boats had already been parked, and there were still six official boats waiting on the river. Yao Qian was wearing a Confucian uniform, wearing a Confucian scarf, and two fluttering ears fluttering in the wind. He was under his feet and took steps in all directions, walked down the springboard steadily, stood on the dock, and looked up.
A pretty servant followed behind her. You can see at a glance that this was obviously a beautiful little girl, dressed as a man, but her bulging chest that she didn't feel at all had revealed her true form.
"Dad, it's so poor here." The little girl said without any awareness of disguise.
"Well, this is the southwest of my Great Zhou, from Ji County to Zhou County, which is the southwest of the Great Zhou, bordering the barbarians. There are many mountains and few lands, and there are scarce production. The mountains are crisscrossing, and there are many mountain people in the mountains, which will disrupt my Great Zhou." Yao Qian said casually.
"I heard that there is no shortage of food here?" the little girl asked in confusion.
Yao Qian smiled faintly, lowered his head and looked at his little daughter lovingly: "The Ministry of Revenue has a registered residence, and the population of Izumo is more than 2.82 million, and there are only 18,000 people in Lan County, so naturally there is no shortage of food."
The implication is that because the population is small, the food is enough to eat. A county in the hinterland of the Great Zhou Dynasty has a population twice or even several times that of here. The same land cannot support so many people at all.
Even if the population is small, it can only be maintained here. How many counties in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty dare to say that they have no worries about food and clothing?
Time was very accurate. The father and daughter chatted for less than half a quarter of an hour. The group came hurriedly on a donkey. After several miles behind the group, a large number of donkey carts and civilians could be seen from afar.
A hundred steps away, Huiquan and Zhang Mo got off the donkey, tidied up their clothes, walked forward quickly, and bowed to the ground: "The Xiaguan Dazhou, the county magistrate Huiquan, the county magistrate of Lan County, Luoxia Prefecture, Luoxia Prefecture, and the county magistrate Zhang Mo, came late to welcome him, and asked Mr. Yao to forgive him."
There are ritual houses in the county and there are also tutors. But at this time, the tutors in a small county town are afraid that they will not speak well, so they can only arrange them by Huiquan and Zhang Mo.
"Well, can you have a family?" Yao Qian was a little surprised. The family was a famous family. Even if the children in the family were asked to go out for training, they would not be able to arrange for such a remote county unless...
Looking up at the sky, thinking in my heart, Hui Ji, the head of the Hui family, has such a vision?
"Yes." Huiquan responded quickly. Lord Yao was from a prominent family and was inferior to a famous family. But he was the head of the Yao family, and Huiquan was just an inconspicuous branch of the Hui family. The status difference was too big. Even if his grandfather was in front of him, he would still be inferior to Yao Qian.
"How much grain is stored in the county?" Yao Qian asked. Since he was a descendant of a famous family, you should be welcome. The Yao family is not close to him, but in the remote county town here, he was considered a member of the people. As for the county magistrate, Yao Qianquan thought he did not exist.
"Official warehouses, close warehouses, prepare warehouses, and coexist with 38,000 stones of grain, 26,000 new grain, 12,000 old grain, 40,000 salted fish, 1,000 bacon, 1,000 bacon, 1,000 pieces of silk, and 5,500 pieces of hemp." Zhang Mo is a capable official, and the Huiquan is not bad, and his ability is quite strong. He doesn't need to be too brain-free in the county, just open his mouth.
Yao Qian was not surprised that those who could be sent to the border town were either abandoned children or elites. If they were abandoned children, it would be impossible to arrive at the dock according to the time he calculated. Since he came, it would naturally not be too bad.
"Is the soldiers and armor good?" Yao Qian asked again.
Huiquan and Zhang Mo changed color at the same time. They asked about food first, and then soldiers. This is...
"The county soldiers are 75, and the soldiers are not good." Huiquan said with a tough bullet. Before that, the prefectures and prefectures had drawn Lanxian County soldiers to fight. It was the best to take advantage of the Luoxia donkey in Lanxian County. They could get a logistics supply every time. If they really wanted to fight, the county soldiers in Lanxian County were afraid that there would be no chance.
The last time the bandit suppression was actually just a formality, and we can still see the level of Lan County's soldiers. Even if we were interested in letting go, the soldiers from Ji County had arrived, but Lan County's soldiers had not yet left the city.
In Luoxia Ten County, the strongest military and armor are naturally Zhou County. They border the barbarians and have constant small frictions. Although people are always dead, the soldiers are getting stronger and stronger. Even if they have never fought, even if they have all the soldiers and armors, they are just good things.
"How is the customs?" Yao Qian was not surprised. The Great Zhou had a lot of soldiers. Not to mention Lan County, even the county soldiers of Zhou County were despised. In other words, except for a few strong troops, the rest of the Great Zhou was garbage.
"At present, the weather is good and the people are simple." Huiquan replied.
"Haha... interesting." Yao Qian took his daughter to the donkey cart. Dozens of young officials in Confucian robes were holding bamboo slips, with a stern expression and followed closely behind. No one spoke. Four people sat in the donkey cart in order, picked up the silk curtains on all sides, and sat cross-legged in the cart.
"Confucian disciple?" Zhang Mo asked in a low voice. Lan County is a small place and there is no Confucian one.
What is Confucianism?
Those who read the paper and read it?
This is not the case. If there are many people who can read and read books, it is not Confucianism. Confucianism can be summarized in one sentence: Those who cultivate a righteous spirit and do not fear ghosts and gods will be Confucianism.
This is not a high-profile sentence, but a very realistic sentence. The previous sentence is the goal of Confucianism. Only by cultivating great righteousness can one be called Confucianism. People who study Confucianism can only be called an official, which means a student. This student specifically refers to practicing Confucianism and Taoism.
Not afraid, naturally means not afraid. Ghosts and gods refer to them, including not only illusory ghosts and gods, but also gods, holy, prophets and shamans. More directly, they are capable of fighting against the powerful among the beasts, barbarians, herds and mountain people.
Confucianism is one of the important foundations of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The great scholar refers to a general term, which refers to those strong people who have already cultivated a righteous spirit. As for how strong they are, according to the nine-grade system that the people of the Great Zhou are used to, the strength of the great scholar must be distinguished by the grade level.
"Is this a great scholar? How many ranks?" Zhang Mo asked curiously. He didn't know much about Confucianism and Taoism. There are great scholars in Luoxiazhou, so that's not something he can come into contact with.
"I am a great scholar, I don't know how many ranks." Huiquan shook his head and said, stepping onto the donkey.
"You are a famous scholar, why don't you practice Confucianism and Taoism?" Zhang Mo had many questions today. Given his semi-hostile relationship with Huiquan, he usually doesn't ask these words, and Huiquan will never answer them. Since he is half an enemy, why should he teach you?
The Great Zhou was not a previous life. The relationship between master and apprentice was very close, and knowledge was even more precious. Even if you have money, you can’t buy it. Therefore, there are masters like father and son, and there is also a saying that a one-character teacher. When it came to Zhang Xuan’s era, it would be better to ask Baidu if you don’t know the words. Ask you just like to talk about them, and you don’t say them.
Huiquan looked at him: "You have been a soldier and went on a battle, and you have accumulated merits as the chief, so why don't you practice martial arts?"
