If Wang Buxu had to choose one person he liked the most among all the ministers, it would have to be Chen Tieshan.

I will always work hard and never complain, and I will never compete with others for anything.

He will not feel dissatisfied, nor will he relax his demands on himself.

It was still the same this time, when Wang Buxu said that he planned to arrange for him to go somewhere else to do it.

Chen Tieshan didn't even ask a question, let alone showed any reluctance to leave this place, he just agreed.

Many times, as a conscientious person, having such a subordinate will make you feel a little guilty.

It is true that one is in a high position, but it is precisely because one is in a high position that this kind of obedience is even more valuable.

"What if it's the Western Region?" Wang Buxu continued.

"No matter where it is, as long as it is arranged by His Majesty, I will never disobey!" Chen Tieshan responded respectfully.

"The more you act like this, the more I feel sorry for you!" Wang Buxuan sighed secretly in his heart.

The human heart is made of flesh. Once, twice, three times or four times, everyone will be touched.

"Every time you arrive at a place, as soon as you stabilize, I will transfer you to a new place, and everything will start from scratch. I am watching all the difficulties you have experienced over the years!"

"Of the brothers who followed me to conquer the country back then, which one is feeling uncomfortable now? Which one has not yet completely stabilized?"

"But I had an agreement with Zhao Tuo before. Now that he has fulfilled his promise to me, I must also fulfill the promise I made to him."

"But the Western Region has become the territory of the Han Dynasty. It is as large as the entire Zhuxia. Although the population is not large, it is not easy to govern at all."

"I was thinking about it when I went there, and I'm still thinking about it when I come back. But after thinking about it, apart from you, I can't seem to think of anyone who can be more suitable than you."

Wang Buxing said blatantly, although there was no need to tell Chen Tieshan so many reasons.

But sometimes, it is still important to win people's hearts.

You can't ignore other people's feelings just because they have high consciousness, don't work hard and don't complain, or don't care about their feelings because they are too obedient.

Loyalty also has a measure. Even monarchs and ministers cannot just feel that they are superior.

"Your Majesty can think of me at this time, and I am already very happy. At least it proves that I am still useful. No other minister dares to promise you, but I will try my best to stabilize the Western Region."

Chen Tieshan did not answer Wang Buxing's words, but directly expressed his position.

The emperor showed what he should do. As a subordinate, you can't climb up the pole, otherwise you will look too ignorant.

It may not matter if you do it once or twice, but it will be annoying if you do it three or five times.

"We are going to such a far away place this time. Where are your family members? Take them with you. We can build a larger military envoy's residence over there, which will help relieve some of the pain of homesickness." The more he continued, the more Wang Bu asked.

The more hungry I feel, the more guilty I feel.

"Your Majesty, you must not do it!" Chen Tiesha quickly stopped him.

He also said: "The imperial court has a clear decree that officials who have brothers cannot bring their relatives to the appointment. As a second-rank official, how can I break the rules of the imperial court? In this case, other officials will have a precedent in the future.

It follows that if no one abides by this regulation, how will the country be governed?"

The rules for serving as an official in a different place are not as simple as they appear on the surface.

In order to ensure that officials do not mess around in their posts, or to ensure that their family members do not mess around.

There are very clear requirements for many aspects.

For example, if you have an older brother or younger brother at home, you can entrust your parents to the brother to take care of you.

This is not unkind, on the contrary, it is a manifestation of being kind.

Recently, the requirements for serving as an official in another place are several hundred miles away, and basically they will not serve in the county. When making arrangements, the Ministry of Personnel also tries its best to choose places as far away as possible.

Therefore, a common phenomenon in the Han Dynasty nowadays is that all officials, except those in Luoyang, basically serve in places 800 miles away from their hometown.

Such a long distance, in this era, even if you go to work, you can only use a horse-drawn carriage at most.

With such bad road conditions now, even with a horse-drawn carriage, it is still a huge hassle for elderly people.

Even after all this torment, the whole person's body was ruined.

Therefore, letting them stay at home is precisely a kind of care for humanity.

Only when there are no brothers in the family and I am alone, I have to take my parents, wife and children with me to the post.

When encountering this kind of situation, the Ministry of Personnel also has a record, and when making arrangements, they try to arrange it as close as possible so that the elderly will have less trouble.

But this trip to the Western Region was different. It was four to five thousand miles away, and it would take more than half a year to go back and forth. The information was even more limited.

After I go there, I basically won’t receive any news from home.

To put it bluntly, according to the current speed at which family letters are delivered, if Chen Tieshan's parents had passed away, by the time the news reached the Western Regions and by the time Chen Tieshan had completed his official duties and returned home, the old man's first anniversary would have passed.

Similarly, the current Han Dynasty also has the Dingyou system, so how should three years be calculated?

According to this itinerary, we basically go back and forth for one year and stay at home for one year?

Wouldn't that be completely formalism?

That's why Wang Buxu wanted Chen Tieshan to take the entire family there. Although it was impossible for everyone to go, there were always those who were willing to follow.

Surrounded by relatives, even if the distance is far away, you won't feel too homesick.

"Ten years! At most ten years, I will transfer you back to Luoyang! Then I will personally go outside Luoyang City to welcome you back!" Wang Buxu said movedly.

One term lasts for five years, but five years is just the time to figure out the Western Region. If you want to get started, you have to start at least ten years, and even ten years is not enough.

Chen Tieshan was someone Wang Buxu could trust, but next, he had to consider a successor for Chen Tieshan.

Ten years, Chen Tieshan has just turned thirty-eight this year, and ten years from now he will be forty-eight. Not to mention that he is at that time, but at least he is not too old.

In recent years, Wang Buxin has also figured out another problem: those with low life expectancy are mostly at the grassroots level.

Too many premature deaths have lowered the average age of the entire era.

If you exclude those children who died young, the average life expectancy of a man is actually not low, almost over 50 years old.

The lifespan of wealthy people will be longer, because they do not lack food and clothing, their bodies do not lack too many nutrients, and their body organs do not need to work too hard.

This time, Chen Tieshan did not refuse Wang Buxu's kindness.

Although he wouldn't care if the emperor would actually come out of the city to greet him.

In fact, these don't matter. There are some things that you just need to know in your heart.

In Chen Tieshan's view, as a person, after all is said and done, in fact, this life is just like that.

The first half of your life is for yourself, the second half of your life is for your descendants. Excessive ambition for fame and fortune will actually make you exhaust your own efforts, and in the end you will be in vain.

Chen Tieshan doesn't expect his offspring to be outstanding, he just hopes that they will be mediocre and safe...
