Chapter 223 Development
I don't know how many people thought that Xin Qiji's career had reached its end, but less than a year after his official position was stripped of everything, he suddenly appeared and was suddenly recommended by Liu Zheng as the prefect of Lin'an, and the official family quickly approved it... This made many people's eyes fall to the ground without knowing it.
The Lin'an prefect is not just a prefect. Lin'an is not only the largest city in the world, but also the capital of the Song Dynasty. The choice of the prefect has always touched the hearts of the ministers in the court and the inner courtyard of the palace. Without the recognition of people inside and outside the palace, not anyone can sit in this position. What's more, Xin Qiji, who is embarrassed?
But the matter is so strange. Xin Qiji, the "reformed man" who was not only recognized by Liu Zheng, but also Han Luzhou, who has now become a vague force in the court, did not raise any objections. As for Zhao Ruyu, he has always stood on the same front as Liu Zheng, so he would not make things difficult for Xin Qiji. Xin Qiji also had a good impression of the royal family. After he submitted his letter to the Song Dynasty in Shaoxing for 31 years, he had always been highly valued by the officials, and was only used to be framed by villains. In addition, he had no market in the Northern Expedition to fight against the Jin Dynasty, so his official duties should be intermittent.
Moreover, Xin Qiji had never held a position in the capital before, and had served in Hubei, Jiangxi, Sichuan and Fujian, but he had never held a position in the capital. Now, he not only suddenly held an official position in the capital, but also had the important position of prefect, which made people feel that this matter was strange.
In the Song Dynasty, the prefect of the capital was of high power. Needless to mention the original prefect of Kaifeng, the famous Bao Qingtian and Bao Zhengbian dared to hit the butt in history, and the dog-headed slaughter made countless people unable to sleep at night. The Lin'an prefect is like the original prefect of Kaifeng.
In the Song Dynasty, only the capital or the accompanying people could be called "officials", just like Lin'an now. The rank of the Kyoto prefect or the prefect is also very high. The general magistrate or the magistrate is from the fifth rank, but the Lin'an prefect is a real third rank, half a rank higher than the sixth rank.
It can be said that the prefect of Lin'an is worth half of the Secretariat, and is even more important than the Six Ministry in some aspects. Such an important position suddenly fell on Xin Qiji. Not to mention that others did not believe it, even he himself was a little suspicious. He had no foundation in the court. The only strange thing was that he met Han Brother Han's father Han Luzhou a few nights ago. Later, Lord Liu came, but he had no close friends with them. Why did Liu Zheng recommend him? It was not until he sat in the court in the lobby of the Lin'an Prefecture Court, wearing a third-rank official uniform and a goldfish bag, looking at the young Yin, judge and prosecutor sitting below. Xin Qiji realized that this was not a dream, but a fact that had happened.
Xin Qiji has been a pacifier and a transshipment envoy for many years and is very familiar with civil affairs. Although Lin'an has a population of one million, he is very skilled in handling political affairs. It takes only half a day to deal with matters of all sizes.

"Han County Wei, Han County Wei" Luo Zhongzheng saw the report of today's residence, immediately ran to the county Wei's mansion to find Han Zhongwei.
"Mr. Luo, do you have something urgent?" Han Zhongwei just came back from Li Xiongba and took a bath happily. As soon as he changed his clothes, Luo Zhongzheng came.
"County lieutenant, did Xin You'an come to this county a few days ago?" Luo Zhongzheng asked excitedly.
"Yes, Brother Xin had a great time talking with me. He wanted to ask the adults to accompany him, but he only stayed for one night before going to Lin'an." Han Zhongwei smiled. He was so excited that he knew that Xin Qiji's appointment document should be issued.
"What a pity, county magistrate, do you know who is the prefect of Lin'an now?" Luo Zhong was so anxious that he stomped his feet. He used to come to the county magistrate's office to pay his respects every day. He didn't come that day, but he missed Xin Qiji. Now he has become his immediate boss. If he wants to have a good relationship with him again, he may have to rely on Han Zhongwei.
"Is it Brother Xin?" Han Zhongwei exclaimed deliberately. The matter was manipulated by him, and such a result was long as he expected.
"It is. County lieutenant, Lord Xin has become our boss. If you have the chance, you will ask me to support me." Luo Zhongzheng bowed and said, he really couldn't see through Han Zhongwei. As far as he knew, Xin Qiji went to Lin'an with Han Zhongwei. In just a few days, it was suddenly heard that Xin Qiji, who had no official position, had become the prefect of Lin'an. How could he not be shocked? He was sure that this matter must be related to Han Zhongwei, otherwise, Xin Qiji would not have such great energy.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Han Zhongwei didn't agree. Luo Zhongzheng was just forced to bow to himself now. With Han Zhongwei's personality, it would be impossible to reuse such a person. For example, a weak-willed person will not only not be able to help him, but may also be burdened by him at the critical moment, which will be a loss.
"Don't worry, the county magistrate will be loyal and will never be a second-handed." Luo Zhongzheng, a seventh-rank magistrate, called the county magistrate from the eighth-rank magistrate, which was a strange story. But he thought this was very normal. Not to mention that Han Zhongwei's future future was limitless, just say that his father Han Luzhou is also an important and important person now. I heard that several adults in the court were transferred out of the capital by him, and even the prime ministers could do nothing to him with such methods.
"I really have something to bother you. Now that the training of the archers is getting worse, they will have a lot of training when they go home every day. I want to build a military camp for them at the foot of Tangshan in the north of the city. As for the cost, there were still some seizures from the thieves in Huangtuling last time. Please send labor assistance." Han Zhongwei originally wanted to build the military camp outside the city, but the number of the archers was too small, only thirty, so there was no need to make a big deal.
"Building a military camp? This is necessary. I will ask someone to make an announcement immediately." Luo Zhongzheng originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw Han Zhongwei's eyes, he immediately changed his words. Now he is no longer the master of the country in Changhua, but the county magistrate who is less than his son.
Last time, nearly 1,000 guan was used by Han Zhongwei in Huangtuling. Later, Luo Zhongzheng returned the payment of 200 guan, and Han Zhongwei had about 1,200 guan. It was a bit difficult to build a military camp. You should know that building a 50-person military camp would cost nearly 1,000 guan. Although there is no need to pay for labor, you have to pay for the meal. In this way, it is not enough to spend all of it.
But Han Zhongwei absolutely uses new materials. He has his own cement factory in Lin'an. Cement is still an expensive building material for others, but for Han Zhongwei, it is just a pile of stone money.
"Thank you, Lord Luo. In addition, there are several official roads from the county to the capital city that are seriously damaged. You also need to ask the master to send people to repair them more." Han Zhongwei said. When he first came to Changhua, he found that there were several official roads that were not easy to pass through, so he could only dismount and move forward carefully. Since Luo Zhong is so obedient now, of course he has to do this, let alone when transporting cement in the future, if the official road is not smooth, it will take a lot of time.
"This is the right thing for the subordinates to do. It is really shameful to let the county magistrate raise it. However, there are very few families around those places. If people are transferred from other places, it will probably take several hours to spend on the road." Luo Zhongzheng had actually wanted to practice the official path for a long time. As a parent official in the same place, isn't this the best political achievement? But those places are in a rare place, and there are no one in the surrounding area. If labor is sent for more than ten miles away, it will take two or three hours just to walk back and forth every day, and how many hours will there be in a day?
"It's okay, let those people live directly next to the official road, when will they be repaired and when will they go back?" Han Zhongwei waved his hand and quickly gave Luo Zhongzheng an idea.
"But those places are also places where beasts appear. Who dares to live there at night?" Luo Zhongzheng asked with some concern. If someone died, his magistrate would probably end up being the end. No matter which dynasty, the officials' mentality was always stable. They would rather make less wishes than ensure that nothing happened. Otherwise, Luo Zhongzheng would have sent someone to repair those areas long ago, and he would not wait until now.
"Send archers to protect it. During the day, the archers will train around and protect the people at night. I believe there will be no problem." Han Zhongwei smiled. The current archers look a little bit, and with his own guards, if the 50-man army cannot protect the safety of these people, he may have no face to see anyone.
"That's great." Luo Zhong was delighted. During this period, he also heard a lot of rumors about the archers. The current archers are really different from the original ones. The training is more than five hours a day, and the food is so good that it makes people drool. It can be said that there are meat meals and fish every meal. The archers have been trained by the county magistrate to scream.
In recent years, Changhua has begun to affect the travel and wealth of the people because of the lack of official roads in the past few years. When the yamen was about to build roads, the people from all over the world cheered and followed the crowd. It was the first time that the yamen runners in the yamen saw how the labor was smooth. In the past, they had to come forward to get enough people? This time, when they heard that it was about building roads, many people had even come to the yamen with tools and were ready to wait for dispatch.
Since there was enough manpower, Luo Zhong was asking Han Zhongwei to ask Han Zhongwei to prepare for the construction of roads at the same time, which greatly improved the progress of the project. The archers and Han Zhongwei's escort were also divided into three teams accordingly, training together during the day, and guarding the people who were working in the labor service at night.
"Young Master, you'd better go back to the county town. Just have me here." Li Xiongba saw that it was getting late and late, and if he didn't go back to the county town, he might really not be able to go back.
"I said to Mr. Li, do you have no confidence in yourself or me? Even if there are really jackals, tigers and leopards here at night, do you think I can't deal with it? I think you'd better go back to your own team. I'll take seven guards here enough." Han Zhongwei wouldn't go back. Li Xiongba was worried about him, and he was worried about the archers.
This time the archers went out to the city to train, and the sandbags on each person were still not untied. At the same time, the bows and arrows and waist knives were also fired together. Each person had a pot of arrows and a knife, and there were at least sixteen people in a small team. Even if they encountered one or two big insects, there was no need to worry. Not to mention that the people in the archers now have greatly increased their arm strength. Just those guards, a crossbow and grenades in their hands every day, it would not be enough to see if there were more tigers.
"I'm worried about your safety. I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of one. Otherwise, I'll merge the three teams together, it's only about ten miles away." Li Xiongba asked Han Zhongwei to refuse to leave.
The three road construction sites were about five miles apart. Originally, people from both ends could not be defeated. They could not get together in the middle, but Han Zhongwei felt that it was still too troublesome. There were nearly 400 guards in the three places, and so many people were crowded together to live together, and they were still in the wild. If there was an epidemic, it would be too late for me to cry.
"This matter is decided, you go back to the second team." Han Zhongwei waved his hand and said unhappily. Although he knew that Li Xiongba was concerned about him, did he not have any confidence in his current cultivation level? Moreover, during the day, he ordered the guards to bury landmines around the camp and sent people to guard them. Even if there were really large animals coming out at night, there would be no return.
Li Xiongba knew that as long as Han Zhongwei decided on it, he would never change it. He had to pull the guards over and give them some careful advice, so he went to the second team he was responsible for.
Han Zhongwei brought six guards and ten bowmen as the first team. There were about 120 people they needed to protect. Han Zhongwei asked them to circle each ten and light a bonfire. The beasts were afraid of fire. They had so many people, unless animals were too hungry to find food to dare to attack them.
At this time, the forest resources in the wild are still very rich, and the food chain in nature does not seem to require humans to contribute. Especially in the first half of the night, many people spend the night outside for the first time, and they are still in the wild. In addition, the conditions are not good. If it weren't for the hot weather now, sleeping would have been a big problem. The sounds of talking were everywhere throughout the night, and the wild beasts around were frightened by so many people.
The preparations were done well, and they were safe overnight. After dawn, Han Zhongwei asked someone to go to the minefield to replace the guards. Other places could be lifted after dawn, but there would never be a shortage of people in the minefield after the minefield was removed. Moreover, the guards must be members of the guards, and the archers are not qualified to go there to watch.
Although the archers have to take turns on duty at night, they still have to train as usual when dawn, first run a five-kilometer run and fully armed. However, after running, the push-ups are not trained, but combine training with labor, and the archers also participate in road construction. The archers can't rest until after lunch, and they can sleep for two hours to make a good sleep reserve for the night.
Originally, Han Zhongwei always thought something would happen, but until the three places were almost repaired, no wild beasts appeared. Finally, Han Zhongwei was furious and led the archers into the mountains to hunt, and finally got some gains. As a result, everyone had a meal the next day, with pheasants, wild animals, deer, goats, and various wild game.
Although there has not been a wild beast attack in the past month of the road construction, Han Zhongwei's reputation has spread. The county magistrate personally brought people to protect them, the plain-headed people. How could they not be excited? Not to mention that the county magistrate still shares the joys and sorrows with them at night, even if he appears for a while during the day, even if he only appears once, these simple people will be grateful.
Besides, without the sneak attack of wild animals, no one was injured. They remembered the kindness of the county magistrate in their hearts. When they went back and promoted it, the entire Changhua County County praised the county magistrate who loved the people as much as their sons.
Han Zhongwei didn't expect that he was just worried that the archers would not be able to protect the people well, and in the end he could win such a great reputation for himself. It seems that someone once said that the Chinese people have always been the easiest to satisfy.
After the road was repaired, the next step was to build the military camp. The Han County Wei was very famous, and the labor service was extremely easy. Han Zhongwei didn't want to waste this opportunity. He asked Luo Zhongzheng to issue another notice that the archers team would recruit twenty more archers.
When Han Zhongwei first came, he thought about filling Changhua's archers team, but Luo Zhongzheng did not agree at that time. But now it was Han Zhongwei's turn to take charge of Changhua. He wanted to recruit twenty more archers. Luo Zhongzheng didn't even say anything, and immediately asked the division to write a notice.
Han Zhongwei has his own rules for recruiting new archers this time. It is not only the children of the family members of the Baozheng District Party, but all men aged 18 to 35 in the county can register. Of course, strong body and excessive arm strength are the minimum requirements. Han Zhongwei has used the method of selecting soldiers in Heicheng. Now he can just call out a guard member and help him complete this task well.
It seems that Changhua has not been so lively for a long time. He first built the road, or was sent to work when he was the magistrate. But he set off at home early in the morning, built the road on the official road during the day, and went home to sleep in the evening. However, those places were rarely visited, and when they went home at night, they could not see their hands. Because the personnel were dispersed, they had several accidents and lost several lives, so they stopped. Until now, the county magistrate sent troops to protect the official road, and the official road was finally built. Now, it takes two and a half hours to ride a horse from Changhua to Lin'an, and even if they ride a carriage, it will not take more than four hours.
After the road was built, the military camp was built. The people of Changhua had never seen the military camp they wanted. The two-story cement buildings had already surprised them. Those bathrooms and new toilets subverted their original concept. It turned out that the toilet could be repaired like this.
Although the labor service sent to the military camps had no wages to get, their food was with the archers. They had three meals a day, and each meal was full. This kind of life made them so envious that they even drooled in their dreams. After their publicity, they had long known how many people were jealous of the treatment of the archers. Now they suddenly heard that the archers were going to recruit another twenty people, so why didn't they squeeze their heads to respond?
As long as you join the archer team, Fenglu will be fine. You can eat and drink by the county magistrate. The money will be taken home, which is enough for the family to live a good life.
The archers that originally only recruited twenty people, but at the time of registration, there were 2,000 people. If it weren't for only the locals in Changhua, it would be impossible to register a thousand more.
