Liu Jing compared his grades to a dead person, which finally made Liu Pan calm down a little, and he nodded and said: "Zhongda's words are reasonable, we won't criticize him.
Zhongda, it is certainly a benevolent act for you to "work hard to support your guests", but it is not a long-term strategy after all. I heard that you "never forget to study when you are in Qianmo". Since you have the heart to learn, why don't I let the family slave
How about I farm for you and continue your study tour in Xiangyang?"
Changsha is a closed place. It would be a pity for a young talent like Liu Jing to stay in Changsha. He should have more ambitious development.
Liu Jing shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Cong. However, I have an old mother, a widowed sister-in-law, brothers, sisters, nephews, women and children at home. How can I leave with peace of mind?"
Liu Pan was right when he thought about it. When he gave up his official position and returned to Changsha, the main reason was that his father was old and sick, and there were always things that were more important than his personal future.
"Then what are your plans for the future?"
"My brother intends to imitate my elder brother and wants to serve the county."
Liu Pan put his palms on his hands and smiled and said: "This is easy. Where do you want to go, Zhongda, the ministers of the county government?" Only a high-ranking official in the county like him dares to say so.
Liu Jing had already made up his mind and said slowly, "I want to work as an official in the city."
This answer was indeed beyond Liu Pan's expectation, and he immediately objected: "Absolutely not! The market is a place where villains gather to compete for profit, and gentlemen should stay away from there.
In my opinion, you should work as a secretary under the sect. You will have many opportunities to contact the prince. With your talents, you can be the chief clerk and chief clerk in a few years. Isn't this better than going to the market to work with the dealers and lackeys?
A thousand times stronger?"
Liu Jingxin said that even if he could be the chief recordkeeper and chief bookkeeper, what would be the use? He would never tie himself to Zhang Xian, a ship that was doomed to sink.
He retorted: "Fifth Boyu still thinks that the market is a place that gentlemen should stay away from."
The fifth Boyu is the fifth Lun. He was a famous official in this dynasty. He once served as a money maker and also led the city of Chang'an. During his tenure, he performed many good governance and convinced the people. Later he became an official in Sikong. Because he was known for his chastity as an official, people at that time
Compare him to Gongyu of the former Han Dynasty.
"Since you have made up your mind, forget it." When Liu Jing refuted his opinion, Liu Pan showed displeasure.
Liu Jing bowed his head and worshiped again, but did not change his original intention. The market may not be looked down upon by Liu Pan, but in his view, the market is not only a place where talents from all over the world gather, but also a place where money from all over the world gathers. He has made up his mind
The idea relies on the market to accumulate strength.
…
With Liu Pan, the most important official in the county second only to Cao Huan, paving the way for Liu Jing to build the bridge, he didn't have to do anything but wait for news at home. Although he was about to leave the county government, he did not slack off and remained as usual.
Keep working in the fields every day.
At the same time, his action of "pledge of letters to save neighbors" finally spread.
This time, with Liu Pan and Liu Zong behind him, his fame was no longer limited to the nine ethnic groups in the countryside. For a time, the name "Liu Zhongda" was praised by everyone in Changsha, from officials and common people to traders and footmen.
He is very talented, and some people praise him for his virtue and his kindness.
The last person to cause discussion in the whole county of Changsha was the meritorious Cao Huanjie.
Huan Jie was very talented when he was young, and in his early twenties he became a county meritorious official with less than one person and more than ten thousand people. Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha at that time, valued him very much and recommended him as Xiaolian. After Huan Jie served as a Langguan for a period of time
He stayed in the capital and became a minister in the political center.
A few years later, Huan Jie's father Huan Sheng died of illness. Huan Jie resigned and returned home to observe mourning for three years. At that time, he happened to catch up with Sun Jian's attack on Liu Biao and died unexpectedly.
In the Han Dynasty, the selection of officials was mainly based on inspection and recruitment, which formed a strong personal dependence relationship, which was stronger than the relationship between monarch and minister. Therefore, people encouraged their disciples and former officials to act loyally.
Huan Jie not only served under Sun Jian, he was also promoted to be a filial and honest person and entered the official career. Sun Jian was very kind to him, so Huan Jie naturally could not turn a blind eye. He was willing to take risks and went to Xiangyang alone to see Liu Biao and asked for permission.
The Lord Sun Jian collected the body for burial. Liu Biao was moved by his loyalty and asked him to take Sun Jian's body back for burial.
This act of righteousness made Huan Jie become a loyal and righteous man praised by the world.
The reason why Liu Jing knew that he was famous in the county was because in the past few days, foreigners came to visit him on the edge of the field many times, and some even directly knelt down and wanted to enter his gate, which made him dumbfounded.
Of course, Du Xi was among the visitors. He was the most frequent visitor. He often came by car early in the morning. The two of them often sat under a tree, talking about everything. Liu Jing went to farm, and he didn't notice.
When you are lonely, bring your own wine and delicacies, drink and drink by yourself, and be so leisurely and happy.
Liu Pan rested at home for five days. On the morning of the sixth day, he asked Liu Jing to take off his short clothes and put on a robe, and then went with him to the county town of Linxiang to attend the wedding of Huan Zuan, the third brother of the meritorious Cao Cao Huanjie.
As Liu Pan was a minister of the five sense organs, it could be said that it was very easy for him to place his clan brothers into the county government, but after all, it was Gong Cao Huanjie who was in charge of the personnel affairs of the county and court. He just took this opportunity to bring Liu Jing to meet him in advance to show respect.
The Huan family is located in the northwest of Linxiang, the county seat, close to Jia Yi Temple.
Jia Yi was a famous scholar during the reign of Emperor Wen of the former Han Dynasty and served as the Prince of Changsha. Unfortunately, he passed away at the age of thirty-three. The people of Changsha were grateful for his kindness and built a shrine for him, which has been used for hundreds of years.
The whole place is the residence of the Huan family in Changsha. The houses are close together and the gates and alleys are straight. It is far from the ordinary alleys. Today, the third brother of Huanjie, Huan Zuan, is getting married. There are hundreds of vehicles parked on the roadside at this moment, and servants are coming and going.
, cows mooing and horses neighing, extremely noisy.
Liu Pan's arrival immediately attracted the attention of the Huan family's prison slaves. He stepped forward quickly, bowed very respectfully, and then led Liu Pan and Liu Jing to see Huan Jie.
Huanjie was less than thirty years old. He wore a black turban and a crown of virtue. He had a long coat and a beard on his cheeks. He was elegant and magnanimous. He was chatting with guests in the courtyard when he saw Liu Pan and Liu Jing approaching.
He smiled and said: "Yuanlong, you have been hiding at home for so long and you are finally willing to come out."
Then he looked Liu Jing up and down and said, "You must be Liu Zhongda, who is widely rumored today."
Liu Jingsu bowed his head and said: "I, Liu Jing, pay my respects to Mr. Huan."
Huan Jie was the second historical celebrity of the Three Kingdoms that he came into contact with after Du Xi.
Coincidentally, both of them are Wei Chen.
It can only be said that Cao Cao's "coercing the emperor to control the princes" was too attractive to the scholars. Even though Changsha is located south of the Yangtze River and is almost isolated from the world, there is still no way to stop the scholars from paying attention to the imperial court.
yearning.
Huan Jie sighed and said: "Oh! When I see you, I can't help but think of Bo Ming. Every time I think of you, I feel extremely heartbroken. A person with outstanding talents like Bo Ming has not yet made any achievements and is known to the world.
, just died in obscurity, how unfair the sky is!"
"He is dead, and Bo Ming has a successor." Liu Pan took the opportunity to say: "Zhongda intends to join the county government. With his talent and virtue, he is qualified to serve as an assistant. What does Bo Xu think?"
"This is a good thing." Huan Jie nodded lightly and said to Liu Jing: "How about you first come to my service and serve as an assistant, just like your elder brother did before."
Liu Jingwan refused: "Thank you very much, Mr. Huan, for your kindness, but I would like to take a job in the city."
Huan Jie and Liu Pan had the same reaction. They looked puzzled. What was so good about the market, why should they suffer there?
"We can discuss this later."
The people around Huan Jie were all Changsha officials and celebrities. One of them was over forty years old, tall and dignified in appearance. Through listening, Liu Jing learned that he was Li Yong, the postal governor of central Changsha.
The governor is a high-ranking official in a county who is second only to meritorious officers, has five senses, and is in charge of weak matters. He is responsible for conveying orders, supervising subordinates, inspecting cases and jails, checking illegality, etc. He has no control over everything and has great power. Generally, he is a big official.
There are many people in a county. For example, in Changsha, there are five postal governors, east, west, south, north, and central, each responsible for responsibilities in various aspects. The central postal governor is in charge of the Changsha county and has the most power.
"Boy, are you Liu Zhongda, who is widely said in the village to "pledge letters to save neighbors"?" Li Yong saw Liu Jing glance at him and asked: "By bribing the thief Cao, do you know the king's law?"
The surrounding area suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Liu Jing.
"The people have been wronged, and the postal supervisor is responsible." Liu Jing appeared to be unhurried and calmly saluted. The postal supervisor has hundreds of supervisory officials to review the culprits, so Liu Jing turned an army and attacked the key point.
Li Yong's eyes widened and he opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
Liu Pan suppressed a smile and said, "Zhongda, don't be rude."
Huan Jie was the first to laugh, and everyone in Xuan'er laughed.
They all thought: "Li Yong is a strong man, holds an important position, and has the prefect Zhang Xian as his backer. He always walks sideways in Changsha. Anyone who sees him is trembling with fear. Unexpectedly, today he will be defeated in the hands of a young man."
"
Li Yong himself couldn't help laughing and shook his head, and said to everyone: "This son is conceited and beyond my control."
