16. Jingyuan is only one state
At this time, Yun Shao heard the noise and walked out. He heard that Duan Xiushi was visiting, so he sat upright behind the screen and did not dare to show up.
Gao Yue hurried out of the cottage to welcome him. Who would have thought that Duan Xiushi instantly changed from slow steps to quickening, and supported him. Then the two of them bowed to each other, "Gao Zheng, you and I are all friends, and you cannot discuss the superiority and inferiority of the official position."
It turns out that in the shogunate of the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers of the Jiedushi must be treated with courtesy. Both sides are absolutely friends with the guests. Because the officials of the Guard and were hired as assistants, they cannot be considered as subordinates of the Jiedushi. If the Guard is rude or rude to the guests, they will be severely criticized by the public opinion of the court and the public in the future. It is impossible to recruit talents in the future. Therefore, the five Fangzhens who came to recruit Gaoyue all have humble words and generous gifts and are humble in their attitude. This is called "
"Quotation". In the shogunate, the relationship between the two parties is not the superiors and subordinates, but the qualities. Mubin works hard for the master of the tutelage, while Mubin has to give Mubin good treatment to ensure his promotion. This is called "qualities". Even if a guest offends Mubin for something or lacks ability to do things, Mubin will not be able to fire him directly like a modern company boss. He or he will either give him a suitable official to the court, or give him a large sum of money and send him out of the mansion slowly. This is called "Quotation".
The Lord of Mu Bin should not be inferior to him, otherwise he would be ridiculed: Li Guangbi was in the shogunate, and all matters were handed over to judge Zhang Jie, and the two of them had always competed. After the other general Tian Shengong became the governor of Yanyun, the judge Liu Wei and others bowed to him. Tian Shengong was initially unaware of the etiquette between Li Guangbi and Zhang Jie, and was shocked and asked himself why the judge Liu Wei was like this. Liu Wei replied that "the judge is Mu Bin, so that the Lord will not receive the ceremony." Tian was frightened and hurriedly apologized to Liu Wei and others one by one. In the late Tang Dynasty, when Wang Gui (this name was given...) when he was a delegation from Zhejiang East, Fang Gan from Tonglu came to visit, and when he went in, he bowed to Wang Gui, which was criticized by people and received the joking nickname "Fang San Bai".
Gao Yue only knew that Duan was a long-time general in the border area and wanted to perform etiquette. Fortunately, Duan Xiushi was supported in time, otherwise he would have been given a nickname of "Senior High School".
Next, Duan Xiushi sat in the cottage and talked to Gao Yue, while Yun Shao and Zhihui sat behind the screen to listen.
Duan Xiushi confessed his purpose directly. He had just come to Beijing to meet His Majesty and was given the first house and was actually enthroned by one hundred households. Now he is here to recruit talents for Jingyuan.
"Qu Envoy!" Gao Yue said hurriedly, remembering that there was indeed someone from Jingyuan Jinzouyuan yesterday, but before he could read the book, he was interrupted by the wealthy Xichuan Jinzouyuan.
Duan Xiushi smiled bitterly and said that the word Gao Zheng was fought for by five towns yesterday, and the reputation spread throughout Zhufang, Chang'an City again. Don't you know that our Jingyuan Town has actually issued many letters of seal and pledge, hoping to recruit young heroes in Beijing to our town. Gao Zheng is just one of them.
Oh, then I wonder what this guy is here for me?
"But they were all rejected, so Duan thought that he could not wait until he received a reply from Gao Zheng, so he took the liberty to visit him." Duan Xiushi paused, and then continued, "The Jingyuan envoy's office needs to be a Confucius Officer and a yamen to recommend him, and he can be awarded the title of Taichang Taizhu. His salary is 15 jin per month, and he will be given ten jin per month, and he will be 70,000 yuan."
When Duan Xiushi reported these, Yun Shao, behind the screen, understood why others were unwilling to accept Jingyuan's enlistment: the treatment was too low and too shabby. My father recruited Songqing to be the county magistrate of CD County and the chief secretary of the shogunate. He could get double salary money, which was 50 jin, and there was also the "mixed money" specially allocated by the shogunate, not to mention the 400,000 jin a one-time bribe. Even if Songqing was unwilling to go to the Shikawa Shogunate of Kennan, if he entered the Shuogunate, the salary money and miscellaneous money would be 40 jin, and the bribe money would be 200,000 jin.
It should be known that although the position of being a Kongmu official in Jingyuan is higher than that of a prosecutor and an inspector, he is a direct subordinate of the judge. He has to take care of the entire Jingyuan affairs. The affairs are extremely complicated. Moreover, Jingyuan is located in a barrier that Xifan frequently invaded, and it is not very safe. This treatment is indeed not attractive. If Duan Xiushi went to the Imperial College, he might be able to recruit people. Isn’t it too wrong for my Songqing to go!
But Yun Shao looked through the screen, and her husband Gao Yue did not mean to refuse directly. Instead, he respectfully asked Duan Xiushi a question: "When the King of Fufeng County was in Jingyuan, he had a luxury house in Jing'anfang and Anyifang in the capital city. The cost of the central hall alone was less than 200,000 yuan. Why is the treatment of the Jingyuan Shogunate now far inferior to other towns?"
Duan Xiushi shook his head, as if he was in melancholy memories. He explained to Gao Yue: "The reward of the Holy Lord can only be enjoyed by Ma Zhenxi, and Ma Zhenxi dare not distribute it to his staff and soldiers. I think Gao Zheng should understand the truth. The current situation in Jingyuan Town is that it is narrow and the state is in trouble, so once the number of betrothal gifts is mentioned, Gao Zheng will indeed make him laugh."
I understand that this kind of reward is only the court that wins you over. If you give it to your subordinates, it will inevitably arouse suspicion from the court. Isn't Guo Ziyi the same? Ma Zhen Xi Ma Lin suggested that his subordinates write a letter together, wanting to ask for the power of Tong Pingzhangshi (that is, wanting to be prime minister). As a result, the court immediately became alert and granted Ma Lin a generous reward and title, but he never asked him to make peace.
What's more, according to Duan Xiushi's next description, Gao Yue knew the reason for Jingyuan's embarrassment: When Ma Lin first took charge of Jingyuan, he had Jing, Yuan, Bin, Ning, Qing, Fu, Fang, Dan, and Yan Jiuzhou, which was under his command, but soon the court ordered the four states of Fu, Fang, Dan and Yan to separate the Weibei Jiedushi, and then the three states of Bin, Ning and Qing were divided into Shuofang Jiedushi, and Yuanzhou was captured and destroyed by Xifan. After a while, Ma Lin's jurisdiction was only Jingzhou.
Jingzhou guarded the Kongdao where Xifan invaded Guanzhong, and was a place where wars were repeatedly desolate and destroyed. Ma Lin felt very difficult to maintain the camps of the four towns of Anxi and Beiting here. Later, he asked the court through the Longyou Jiedushi Li Baoyu (court Li Baozhen, who has now passed away in the same year as Ma Lin), and was approved to take the tribute and taxes from Zheng, Ying and Hua to support the army (this is the method of the court. Although the Jiedushi of Jingyuan has received tribute and taxes from other states, his actual territory is still only Jingzhou, which is convenient for control). The situation has eased.
But Jingyuan became a first-class and poor town. The imperial court even listed its state as an unregistered state, and every year it allocated money and grain from other states to replenish supplies.
"So, in terms of salary, I am really ashamed, and it is difficult to speak to Gao Zheng." After saying that, Duan Xiushi sincerely lowered his head and said, "But now there is no judge in Jingyuan. Kongmu official is actually a judge. As long as Gao Zheng is a prosecutor, Duan is willing to take out the monthly salary of the Censor of the Censor who was led by the court to serve as the settlement of the family money of Gao Zheng and his wife in Jingzhou."
