Chapter 247 Three Horses

After the wanderer returned home and took office as the lieutenant of Anlu County, Heifu had two banquets before he had time to do anything else.

The first banquet was the magistrate of Anlu County. The county magistrate invited him. This was a public banquet, which was held in the magistrate's residence. The only ones were Anlu's "three giants". The county magistrate Yong He sat on the chairman. Heifu and the county magistrate were respectively on the left and right, and the upper seat was on the right. After entering the door, Heifu looked like a junior, saying that the county magistrate was older than him and higher than his vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vo

Speaking of which, the county and county in Qin are different in this regard. The county is the chief magistrate, followed by the county magistrate, and the county magistrate is only 600 stone officials. The rank of the magistrate is far from that of the magistrate, but in the county, the county magistrate is slightly higher than that of the county magistrate...

The officials and maids carried food boxes and fed the three of them. The female musicians from the county magistrate's family also played the piano and sang and danced lightly.

Heifu has long been the uninformed housekeeper who had no knowledge more than a year ago. He has worked as an official in the county and participated in many "upper society" occasions. He even had a banquet in the county magistrate's mansion. Now he can learn to behave politely and speak quite appropriately, which has allowed the county magistrate and county magistrate to change his inherent impression of his "martial husband".

Qin State is a typical example of "only state officials are allowed to set fires, and people are not allowed to light lamps". People are strictly prohibited from drinking in groups, but when your title level reaches a certain level, drinking is as ordinary as drinking water, as long as you have to be rich enough, because the price of wine in Qin State is still very expensive.

While eating and drinking, the three of them were also talking about gossip. It was nothing more than the county magistrate. The county magistrate praised Heifu's youth for being promising. He was the youngest county magistrate they had ever seen in the past decade, and said that he had already seen that he was a sharp awl. As soon as he entered the county magistrate's bag, he stood out!

When this routine banquet was about to end, the county magistrate Yong He brought Heifu and the county magistrate to the courtyard, clapped his palms, and someone drove a carriage to the spacious courtyard...

"Anyone who is a ruling, chief, chief, and lieutenant have special car drivers, and I have someone pick a new car. Please take a look at the county lieutenant, are you still satisfied?"

"Thank you, the county magistrate!"

Just let the stable officials do such a small matter, why should I arrange it myself? Heifu didn't know that the county magistrate was showing his kindness to him? He hurriedly thanked him.

However, he found that the car was a little different. He had seen the county magistrate with four horses and four horses, and his previous car had two horses, but he had never seen three horses, three black, red and yellow horses, huddled together in this strange way...

Seeing the black husband's face showing doubts, the county magistrate Yong He took the opportunity to stroke his beard and smiled, "There is a saying in "Xiaorong" that four peonies and caves are in the hands, six bridles are in the hands. Qili is the middle, and Shili is the girdle... The carriage of these three horses is like Anlu County! And we three are like these three horses!"

He pointed to the red horse in the middle: "The county magistrate, the largest one is 600 stone, and the small one is 400 stone. They are all in charge of governing the people, showing goodness and persuading righteousness, banning evil and punishing evil, managing lawsuits and pacifying thieves, sanctioning the people's current affairs, collecting classes in autumn and winter, and planning to the county where they belong. The county magistrate is the chief of all officials in the county, so the horse in the middle is like me..."

Then he clicked the two black and yellow horses about.

"The chief issued a document and was aware of the Cang Prison. The lieutenant commander thieves. If there is a thief who is not named, he will search and investigate the traitors. He will start from the beginning and take charge of the soldiers in addition to the thief's affairs. These two horses on the left and right are like two lords!"

Yong He had a little ink in his belly. He used the metaphor of "Qin Feng" to explain it very well and it was not out of the ordinary, which made Heifu have a deep impression of him. This county magistrate is not simple!

As he said, the power structure at the county level of Qin State is indeed like the three horses, county magistrates, chiefs, and lieutenants. The powers seem to be separated, but there are also many intersections.

Yong He said earnestly: "The car and carriage need three horses to cooperate with each other to drive steadily. If one horse wants to move forward, one horse wants to come back, and one horse wants to leave, the carriage will be difficult to move forward, and may even fall into the gully. Although the car in Anlu is not big, it also carries hundreds of miles of land, tens of thousands of people, two lords, we also need to cooperate sincerely!"

Speaking of this, Yong He understood what he meant, hoping that Heifu could be in line with them.

Heifu's goal is to train troops, and he also needs orders. The chief's help, so he immediately bowed and said, "Heifu is from a humble background and is a junior. In the future, he will need the county magistrate to give him more guidance to the county magistrate!"

Heifu expressed his attitude, and the county magistrate and the county magistrate couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Heifu was too young and liked to act recklessly. With the support of the county, he was unique in the county. Seeing that he was so calm and deeply in the officialdom, he felt relieved and the banquet became cheerful again.

However, Heifu was also thinking about an interesting question during the meal.

"If the county government is like a carriage and the county officials are like a horse, then who is holding the six bridles in his hands and controlling its direction?"

The county magistrate? King of Qin? Or Qin's law itself?

...

After dealing with his superiors and colleagues, he had to gather his subordinates who had been separated for half a year under his command. So the next day, Heifu also held a banquet in his county magistrate's residence, and invited his old subordinates. In addition to his younger brother Jing, there were Li Xian, Xiao Tao, Dongmen Bao, Ji Ying and others.

Today, everyone is my own people, so there is no need to be polite, so they sit in a bunch of people. Everyone hasn't met each other for a long time, and said happily, and he posted the official seal of the black husband on the table...

Heifu is now "compared with four hundred stones", so his seal has been changed from a hundred stones of blue ribbon to a yellow ribbon. Everyone is cautiously conveying it as if holding pearls and jade, and they are envious.

This is a reverence and envy of power, but everyone also felt that there was a hard work in this official seal. So under the influence of alcohol, everyone began to show what they had done in front of the black husband, intentionally or unintentionally.

"It's not easy in the past six months."

Although Ji Ying was still thin, he was newlywed and lived a good life. His face gradually became plump and rosy. He began to tell that in the past six months, he took advantage of the opportunity of being a village post official to secretly dismantle many private messages from the children of the Yun family stuck in official documents, and found out many negative information about the children of the Yun family.

Heifu smiled: "I remember when I was in Huyang Pavilion, I almost opened an anonymous letter to submit it."

Everyone laughed.

"I'm not the person I was then."

Ji Ying liked to brag and quickly said, "Now he can dismantle the letter and restore it again, and no one can see the flaws!"

As he said that, he also performed a document that Heifu had not had time to dismantle. After observing the ink on it, he actually carved a radish on the spot. He skillfully unpacked the sealing rope of the letter. After checking the contents inside, he restored it again. The newly made red ink on the sealing rope could actually be faked and real, which made Heifu's younger brother stunned...

"You're just a trick."

Dongmen Bao looked disdainful: "There are several manors in Beijiao Township, where there are dozens of guests. After the pavilion commander arrested Yunman, the guests tried to make trouble. It was me who brought the village soldiers, local people, and the county soldiers led by Xiao Tao to surround the manor. After a fight, the chaos was pacified... Xiao Tao, you said something!"

Xiao Tao still talked less, but in the end he stammered: "If you want to... do the most, you should... be the Lijun."

No one objected to this. When Heifu was away, Li Xian was responsible for coordinating them. He united in order to defeat Yunman and did not become a mess. During those days, Li Xian designed to lure Yunman to Guanshi and captured him.

So Heifu asked everyone present to respect Lixian and a cup of wine!

Li Xian smiled bitterly and said, "In that case, I also lured the head of the Li clan. Now that I am not despised by the tribe, I am very satisfied. How dare I take credit?"

He replied to the black husband: "If the county magistrate had not found Yun Man's serious crime in the county, our trivial minor crimes would not have been defeated. Now that the pavilion chief has returned and has been given the position of county magistrate, our six-year plan will not be in vain."

"good."

Dongmen Bao also said: "From now on, the county lieutenant's office will be the county lieutenant. Our good days will finally come! I don't have to be as careful as before, for fear of being caught by Yun's clan?"

Ji Ying also encouraged: "When will the county magistrate go to the county? Just take us with you and show off your power!"

"I came to Anlu as a county magistrate, not to rest or show off."

The black man put down his cup and said seriously: "This time he takes office, he wants to train more than a thousand children from Anlu into a powerful team! The second and third sons may not know yet. After the autumn harvest, Qin and Chu will start war again!"

Except for Li Xian, everyone else was a little surprised and looked at each other.

"Are you going to fight again?"

They then reacted and bowed unevenly: "We will do our best to assist the county lieutenant in training!"

Amidst the harmony, Heifu sensitively noticed a strange thing, that is, in the words and deeds of the people, he seemed to have no enthusiasm for the war as before, but instead revealed a sense of success and satisfaction...

"It's only half a year since these guys have left the army, and these guys have started to slack off?"

Heifu was a little unhesitant, but then he reacted again.

"It's normal to be content with the status quo!"

After all, they are just a group of people from counties and towns. They have not received good education and have no high knowledge. Unlike when they left Anlu two years ago, when everyone was poor and mostly without titles, they all got promoted and made money in the war. Now that Yunman, a enemies who have been enemies, have also been killed, they are in a state of losing their goals, and they even feel that "it is enough for this life."

Everyone can’t talk about the upcoming war, so it’s right. Since there is everything, why do you have to fight with all your life? Even if they are not sparrows, they are at most green-headed wild ducks in the county and township. The black husband cannot ask everyone to have a swan ambition!

All my confidants are like this, so why do you want to train a team of elite soldiers?

So after thinking for a while, Heifu suddenly laughed and said, "I haven't had a chat with Er Sanzi for a long time. It's rare to get together here. Today I want to have a good time!"
