Qin Official

"How can it be important for a mere fake captain to attend the wedding of the right concubine? Isn't it just a salary of four hundred stones per year? I don't want it anymore!"

At the banquet, Gong Ao explained the reason for his resignation in this way, which made Heifu dumbfounded. He didn't know whether to express gratitude to Gong Ao for his great love and righteousness, or to scold him for handing over the position of Nanchang County Captain that he had painstakingly arranged to an outsider. ?

Before Heifu could say anything, Ji Ying, who was sitting opposite Gong Ao, couldn't sit still. He swallowed the lubricated soup cake that slipped into his mouth, pointed at Gong Ao with his chopsticks and cursed: "Ao, before you say this, , can you think of me? I wanted to be a county captain, but unfortunately I didn’t have enough titles at the time, so I could only continue to manage the post office."

He immediately complained to Heifu: "The pavilion chief... no, the right concubine chief. When this guy wanted to resign, Xu Shu, Le Ke and I tried hard to persuade him, but he insisted on going his own way, using the excuse of the Linyang War. The old injury he suffered at that time recurred, and he could no longer serve as an official, so he wrote a letter of appointment to the official position. I was unwilling to deliver it on his behalf, so he sent a clan member to deliver it to Jiujiang County in person."

During the Battle of Linyang, Heifu went out of the city and pretended to surrender, and together with Ao She killed a hundred generals who were trying to coerce him into escaping. He received a spear on his calf, and the bone was visible, and he still felt a faint pain in winter and autumn.

Heifu nodded. What he wanted to know was, did Li Xian, who was responsible for coordinating his old department for him, stop this?

"It was too late when Li Xian learned about it. He went all the way from Fanyang to Nanchang to scold me."

Gong Ao touched his face, as if it was still covered with spit from Li Xian when he scolded him for not caring about the overall situation.

"Li Xian said that I am indispensable in Nanchang, but I think that Xu Shu has achieved the position of chief official, and Le has become a jailer. The officials are advancing and retreating, and the laws and proceedings are in order. There is no war in Nanchang now, even if I come Nothing will happen to Xianyang, but the concubine You is getting married. Only Ji Ying from the old department is here. Doesn’t it look shabby? Anyway, among the fake lieutenants and prime ministers in Jiangnan, I am the most useless, so I will come here on behalf of everyone! For You The concubine drives the passenger car!"

Just like later generations who did not get married without a car, when a distinguished nobleman married and welcomed the bride, he must have a gorgeous four-horse carriage as a wedding car, with several auxiliary cars at the front and rear to form a motorcade, and then take the bride from her mother's house to her husband's house. Different The only thing is that the groom has to drive the car himself.

The auxiliary car is driven by relatives and friends of the groom. The more the merrier, but the Nanchang County Lieutenant is the last guarantee that Heifu arranges to protect his sugar cane and brown sugar industries in Nanchang and protect the interests of Nanjun’s children! Although Xu Shu, Le, and Ji Ying were still serving as officials in Nanchang, without the support of Gong Ao, a county lieutenant with military power, they would definitely not be as strong-willed in their words. This impulsive guy would not think before doing anything.

In fact, Gong Ao really thought about it, and he thought about it a lot.

"In addition to coming to support the right concubine, the reason why I resigned was because I was at odds with the new county magistrate. I didn't agree with each other, and my policies were always inconsistent with each other..."

Ji Ying complained: "There are not many people who are friendly to you."

Zhao Tuo also smiled and said: "My subordinates who go to Nanchang to do business often say that the common emperor looks evil and is not easy to get along with."

I was shocked but hesitated to speak. He was young and had a brother-in-law, so I felt sorry for him to reveal his shortcomings.

Gong Ao ignored them and continued: "The right concubine knew my temper. He was afraid that one day there would be another argument, so he tied up the county magistrate and whipped him in anger. If that was the case, it wouldn't matter if I was arrested and imprisoned. I'm afraid that I will implicate the right concubine."

Also sitting at the banquet, Chen Ping was introduced to everyone by Hei Fu. Chen Ping suddenly realized that this was probably the main reason for Gong Ao's resignation.

According to Qin law, if the recommended person commits a crime, if he is still in his original position and has not been promoted, the person who recommended him will also be imprisoned. Fan Ju, the prime minister of King Zhao of Qin, was tricked to death by two benefactors he recommended. If Gong Ao makes big news while he is in office, unless His Majesty is merciful, this year's efforts may be in vain.

Among this group of cadres who went south, Xiao Tao and Dongmen Bao had enough titles to be directly appointed by Jiujiang County. Apart from Gong Ao, Heifu only recommended Li Xian, but Li Xian was promoted from the original Fanyang fake captain to Fanyang. County Magistrate, even if he commits a crime, Hei Fu will not be implicated.

So if you think about it carefully, the weakest link in Heifu's career is Gongao!

Chen Ping was sensitive to these matters, so he asked Gong Ao: "What is the name of the Nanchang Order? Where are you from, and where did you serve as an official before?"

After asking about Nanchang Ling's name and place of origin, Chen Ping looked at Hei Fu, and the meaning was obvious: it would be best to find out the origin of Nanchang Ling afterwards, hoping that it was just a coincidence and not a conspiracy.

Heifu also came to his senses. Thinking about it this way, it was not entirely a bad thing for Gong Ao to eliminate the hidden dangers himself.

But he still scolded Gong Ao Yitong with a dark face.

"You said that the Nanchang Order often contradicts your opinions, creates difficulties at every turn, and treats the soldiers of the Southern Expedition very harshly. You are like this in fashion, but now that you resign in anger, he will definitely get worse. Xu Shu, Le, and Ji Ying are all county magistrates. The subordinates of the order, without you as the county captain, who can fight for the profits of the Nanchang order for the soldiers?"

To be more serious, Heifu's interests in Nanchang are likely to be suppressed. He also hopes that Nanchang will become the second sugar production center after Anlu...

"Gong Ao was reckless and failed to live up to the recommendation of the right concubine!"

Gong Ao looked ashamed: "Li Xian also advised me so, but at that time I had already submitted the official appointment documents and could not catch up."

He valued emotions and had the interests of the soldiers in the Southern Expedition at heart the most. When Qin Shihuang wanted the soldiers to garrison on the spot, Gong Ao expressed their dissatisfaction on their behalf.

He raised his head and said: "But don't worry, Chief You, although I am resigning, I will not leave Nanchang and will make up for this matter!"

"How do you make up for it?" Ji Ying gnawed on the meat in his hand and shook his head. Gong Ao's resignation made Heifu's cadres who went south have a much weaker voice in Nanchang.

Gong Ao said resolutely: "I will take the Gong family and move to Nanchang and run the land and manor there!"

"What?" Zhao Tuo was slightly shocked. Chen Ping, who was at the end of the banquet and didn't say much, was also stunned.

This Gongao is too upright!

Although there are thousands of immigrants and troops stationed in Nanchang, it is still a frontier and barbaric place, not to mention the deplorable "water poison", which is schistosomiasis. This is the place in Jiangnan where my husband died young. s reason. Everyone else is thinking about how to move away, but Gong Ao wants to move his family from the prosperous Yan County to Nanchang. He's crazy!

Although Gong Ao was young, after his uncle's death, he became the patriarch of the family with the title of "doctor". The Qin Dynasty government also welcomed this kind of immigration activity to fill the barbaric land.

"Have you thought it through?" Hei Fu asked Gong Ao.

"Think it through!"

Gong Ao gritted his teeth and said: "As the saying goes, a magistrate who is strong in iron is a magistrate in flowing water! I, Gong Ao, will be a magnate in Nanchang County and take root there! I don't believe it, I can't stand this dog magistrate!"

This is the end of the world. Everyone is dumbfounded by Gong Ao's decision to decide his career and the future of his family, but this is what Gong Ao will do.

Chen Ping originally wanted to say that there was no need to resort to such a trick. He actually had many ways to make Gong Ao rebel against the Nanchang Order and drive him away, but after taking a look at Hei Fu, he swallowed his words again.

A smart person will never show his intelligence all the time, especially when his master wants to talk.

Heifu sighed and did not stop him. He stood up and toasted Gong Ao with a glass of wine. Then he smiled faintly and said, "Although Gong Ao's ambition is encouraging, it's not like he resigns in anger first and then moves his family to move there." Stupid method, not worth learning!"

"Ji Ying, after you go back, tell everyone in Jiangnan that if you encounter similar things in the future, please write to me first. Although Hei Fu has a low status and no real power, he can still make a mere county magistrate move. Do it!”

This was said with great confidence, and everyone's morale soared! Chen Ping also nodded secretly. Sure enough, Heifu not only assigned all his men to important positions in the county, but also acted very defensively. It seemed that he had made the right choice to vote for him.

After talking about Gong Ao, Heifu talked about transferring his brother Zhao Tuo.

"The second and third sons should also know that in June of last year (the twenty-sixth year of the First Emperor of Qin), the Yue people in Qianling County of Dongting County were instigated by the Chu survivors who had fled to Xiou and gathered in crowds to rebel. After being suppressed, although Dongting County adopted a gentle approach, they only The evil Lord has been killed, but the Yue people in Dongting and Changsha counties are still restless, and they have close contacts with the princes of Xiou and Nanyue outside the Five Ridges."

"Shanggan and Limensai are guarded by Xiaotao, and the place is peaceful. However, Dongting and Changsha need additional troops. The water network in the south of the Yangtze River is crisscrossed. Your Majesty is determined to let General Zuo Gengtu move to Changsha and serve as Changsha County Lieutenant. General Tu is thinking of you. If you are talented, I request that you be transferred to Cangwu District, Changsha."

Although Zhao Tuo had been with Heifu for a while, he was still subordinate to the Yutu Suilou Ship Division, and Heifu could not interfere with his transfer.

Xunyang on the Yangtze River is definitely richer than Cangwu. Zhao Tuo is open-minded and said with a smile: "Although I am from the north, I always want to soak in the lakes and water networks in the south!"

Heifu thought to himself: "Brother, you may have to be a prostitute for decades in the future, and finally become a real southerner who travels through time and consumes betel nut..."

In addition, Zhao Tuo also expressed apology on behalf of their other sworn brother Wu Rui. Wu Rui's father Wu Shengang passed away and he could not come to Xianyang.

"Ganxi is hot all year round and there is no winter snow. Yue people don't even have the word snow in their words. If they come and see the heavy snow in the sky, they will probably be frightened."

Zhao Tuo laughed, not knowing that in history, he could not feel the coldness of snowflakes touching the back of his hands for the rest of his life for sixty or seventy years...

Heifu has always had a faint worry. Although the emperor has no immediate intention to send troops to South Vietnam and Xiou, the transfer of Yutu Sui and Zhao Tuo to the south may be a foreshadowing.

"At the beginning of Guizhou Province, Shandong was not yet stable, and Jiangxi and Hunan were not yet developed. At this time, forcibly conquering Guangdong and Guangxi, which is a tropical rainforest, would be beneficial to future generations, but it would not be beneficial to the present. Wait for a few years, and at least control Changsha and Yuzhang first. The road is being built.”

Heifu planned to find an opportunity to admonish the First Emperor after the marriage. Although many of his suggestions were rejected by the emperor, during the Southern Expedition, as someone who had stood on the Limen Fortress and looked at the Five Ridges of Guangdong Province, he had a strong say!

Those are all things for later. Heifu's most important task now is not to have the world in mind and pay attention to the current situation, but to make time to do something for himself.

marry! **!

"It's rare to see a self-disciplined time traveler like me, right? Generally speaking, in six or seven years, there are enough women around me to start a harem, and there will be countless ambiguous confidante."

With such self-deprecation, Heifu is also full of expectations for the wedding in the future...
