Tang's dining table

"I'm taking Naha away."

This should be the handwriting of the old monkey. Yun Chu erased the few words written on the short table with his hand and left the tunnel.

The mute groom, the consumptive ghost watchman, and the remaining wounded soldiers should be in the Daguan Ling Yamen at this time.

The fact is that the grooms and watchmen kept the yamen very clean, and some wounded soldiers who could move also participated in this work, just because the watchmen said that the Otaguan Order likes to be clean.

He Yuanshan, Liu Xiong, and Yunchu, the three remaining members of the Daguanling Yamen, all knew that in order to cover the people from Zhechong Mansion's raid on the Mulberry Forest, they took the initiative to lead the attack with the barbarians.

Yun Chu slowly walked into the Daguan Ling Yamen with everyone watching. He placed two bottles of ashes bags that seemed to be still warm on the tall desk that Fang Zheng used to use. He sat on the wide stool behind and looked up. The dilapidated roof said calmly: "Now, I will temporarily take over the post of Ozeki Ling. Do you have any objections?"

The groom and watchman immediately stepped forward and saluted with clasped fists: "Here."

Yun Chu added: "In view of the heavy losses suffered by the Kucha Pass Command Yamen this time, the first thing we have to do is to ask for credit for our colleagues who died in the battle.

All of you who followed the original Daguan order to defend the isolated city are all meritorious people. As soon as Cao, the Protector of the Palace, arrives, a certain family will ask for your merits. "

When Yun Chu said these words, not only the grooms and watchmen fell to their knees, but also a large row of Hu Han wounded soldiers behind them.

Ding Dayou disappeared after raiding the mulberry forest that night, and there has been no news about them.

Or perhaps Yunchu's status was too low and people were too lazy to spread the word.

Kucha City has really become an empty city now.

Those domestic merchants followed Pei Dongfeng, the Hucao, and those merchants who did not have Tang Dynasty household registration also followed Pei Dongfeng. Half of the Hu merchants were killed by He Yuanshan, and the other half were killed by the Turks. This resulted in There is not much to do in the Daguanling Yamen now.

Fortunately, after people died, a lot of goods and livestock were left behind. Yun Chu took this group of defeated soldiers and prepared to collect the wealth to make up for the taxes that had not been paid in the past two months.

Four thousand dollars a month. In the past, Yun Chu looked down on Fang Zheng's corrupt behavior, but now, he was very grateful to him.

The taxes that the government needs to pay cannot be reduced until the tax exemption documents are issued. Even if there is nothing left in Kucha City, the taxes still need to be paid truthfully.

If it cannot, it is the fault of the Grand Guanling Yamen.

Therefore, Yun Chu needs to arrange everything before Hu Cao comes. Only in this way can he take credit for himself, the credit for those who stayed in Qiuci City, and even He Yuanshan and the others who died in the battle. People's contribution is realized.

It is the same for any government. Before distributing credit, it needs to conduct the most detailed inspection of the reward objects. The main direction of inspection is the completion of the work.

Integrity is not among them, because this item has been considered as a basic personal conduct.

When a hero appears, there is often no warning. This person can be called a hero in this matter, but if you look at it horizontally, it is not necessarily true. It depends on the Shangguan's tolerance for you.

He Yuanshan died tragically and heroically, and Liu Xiong also died tragically. Both of them died on the job, and in the war. Therefore, Yunchu didn't want to let him go. Their blood was shed in vain.

Pricing goods, mules, horses, and camels is a daily routine in Daguanling Yamen. At the same time, the three remaining people in Daguanling Yamen are also experts in this field.

Therefore, Yun Chu spent six days to finally finish all the preparations and waited for Hu Cao to come to inspect and then award the reward.

Just when Yunchu was busy with matters at the Great Gate Order Yamen, the rotting corpses outside Kucha City were finally cleaned up.

The canals blocked by the Turks were also opened, giving this dilapidated city finally a winding bright color.

With the rotting corpses gone, the number of flies decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye. After Yun Chu removed the curtain, he immediately felt much more relaxed.

Yun Chu did not wait for Hu Cao Pei Dongfeng, but instead waited for Fang Zheng, who was lame on one leg.

Seeing Yunchu again, Fangzheng had long lost his previous aloof attitude. He stroked He Yuanshan, Liu Xiong and the other five palm-held ashes bags, and after crying bitterly, he unnaturally announced the imperial court's order to pass the Kucha City. Rewards from all the heroes in the Yamen.

He Yuanshan was awarded the second rank of military merit. He was awarded the deputy lieutenant Xuejie of the eighth rank. Yin Yizi accompanied the deputy lieutenant of Rong from the ninth rank. He was rewarded with two pieces of silk and one thousand coins.

Liu Xiong, awarded the second rank of military merit, Xun, from the eighth rank to Yuhang Xiaowei, Yin Yizi

From the ninth grade, he returned to Germany and held a halberd. He was rewarded with a bolt of silk and five hundred coins.

The five Zhang Gu who died in battle were awarded military merit, a rank of deputy lieutenant, and a reward of 500 yuan.

The rest of the Daguan Ling Yamen also had their own rewards, and the rewards were generous. As long as Yun Chu reported it, they all responded.

These rewards were quite satisfactory, with no exceptions or deliberate derogations, and there were even bonuses on the monetary rewards.

After Fang Zheng made the announcement, he felt even more out of place. He lowered his head and didn't know what to say.

"I wish I could cut out my tongue!" Fang Zheng punched the table hard.

Yun Chu said with a smile: "Where is my reward?"

Fang Zheng raised his head and looked at Yun Chu and said, "I have gone from being the eighth-grade Chief Physician of the Imperial Physician's Office to sitting in a real position."

Yun Chu nodded and said: "Very good, there are not many officials in the Tang Dynasty who are thirteen years old and have graduated from the eighth rank."

Fang Zheng saw that Yun Chu didn't seem to be angry, so he had a smile on his face. He nodded repeatedly and said, "It took a lot of strength, and in addition, your bravery in chasing the Turks was seen by Marquis Wu. Only then can you sit down." It is true that the Chief Physician of the Imperial Medical Office, but the fact that he was deprived of his job in the Daguan Ling Yamen was also related to your age.

I begged my brother-in-law many times to let you stay in the Daguan Ling Yamen as Huzheng, but he reprimanded me and said that the official position in the Daguan Ling Yamen can be given to a thirteen-year-old boy as the affairs officer of the Imperial Medical Office. It is impossible to award it to a thirteen-year-old boy, even if he has outstanding merits. "

Having said this, Fang Zheng looked at Yun Chu's face again and found that he was very calm. He looked around cautiously, took out a document from his arms, pressed it under his fingers, and slowly pushed it towards Yun Chu. It seemed that this thing It weighs a thousand pounds.

Yunchu pressed his hand on the document and realized something was wrong, because it should contain a confession.

Thinking it was his official certificate as chief physician of the Imperial Medical Office, Yun Chu opened it and glanced at it, then closed it suddenly, looked at Fang Zheng in surprise and said, "How is this possible?"

Fang Zheng saw that Yun Chu could not sit still, so he said proudly: "Are you surprised?"

Yun Chu nodded repeatedly and said, "How can I be qualified to enroll in four majors?"

Fang Zheng proudly took the jug from Yunchu's waist and took a sip of wine and said, "It was originally my chance, brother. I begged my brother-in-law to write your name. It's actually quite a loss. According to my status, I can directly enter the Imperial Palace." If you don't have enough status, you have to enter the four schools, which are relatively loosely controlled. Fortunately, officials in the four schools can also enter, and you can keep your rank from the eighth grade.

In this way, the lowest level you will be awarded after you graduate from the fourth level is from the seventh level. You should know how many people are stuck at the seventh level and cannot make any progress in their lives. You are thirteen years old this year, and you have only been studying for eight years for only two years. At the age of eleven, it is possible to become the magistrate of a central county at this age. So, even if my brother ran away from the battle, it did not make the brothers feel cold. "

Yun Chu quickly stood up, saluted deeply and said, "Thank you for your love, brother, but this confession is too precious, and I am not worthy of it."

Fangzheng spread his curled right leg and drank wine one after another. After drinking enough, he put down the wine bottle and said: "In the four schools, it takes three years to study the major classics, two years to study the medium classics, and one year to study the minor classics." A year and a half, and a year of studying side by side.

After seven and a half years of study, I’ll be out. To be honest, brother, I’m not good at studying. Most people may not be able to get out of the four majors after studying for seven and a half years. Brother, I can’t get out in ten or twenty years. Not coming.

I am already thirty-one years old this year. If I study for more than ten years, I will soon die of old age, and I will still be a shitty official.

Let me tell you, the city of Kucha was destroyed, and the city of Khotan was almost destroyed. My brother-in-law decided to merge the Daguan Orders of Kucha and Khotan. This merger will give my brother and me a living There is an official from the seventh rank of the Governor of the Protectorate. Hahahaha, I can easily become an official without entering the Seventh School of the Imperial Academy, without having to study Haoshou Qiongjing, without having to study arithmetic, law, or calligraphy.

Do you know that when I was my age, this old dog Chu Suiliang was just a doctorate in four subjects and seven grades? "

Yun Chu smiled and complimented Fang Zheng for a moment, then put the admission notice of the four majors into his arms with peace of mind.

He knew the importance of this thing. There were only four officials in the Tang Dynasty. One was like Ding Dayou, who won a victory with a sword and a spear, and the other was immediately made a marquis. There were many bones on this road. Yunchu participated once, but has not participated in the second one. A second chance of courage and luck.

One is to participate in the imperial examinations set up by the imperial court every year, and stand out from the thousands of poor elites from all over the country who come to Chang'an to become winners. There are at most twenty such winners a year, and sometimes there are only a few. Yun Chu I don’t think that I, a former top student, can become such a lucky person.

Another one is recommendation. For example, Cheng Yaojin thought that You Junda's son was capable, well-educated and could be an official, so he told the emperor, and then You Junda's son became an official.

Then, You Junda felt that Cheng Yaojin's son was very good-looking and suitable for being an official... Yunchu felt that no one might recommend him.

Therefore, the most suitable path for Yunchu to become an official was to enter the Seventh School of the Imperial College. He felt that he could stand out from the crowd of officials' children and become the most handsome one.
