The structures of the official houses are all in the "one house and two interiors" style. They seem to be similar, but in fact, the houses are new and old, the locations are partial and the good, the environment is good and bad, and the differences are as big as clouds and mud. If you are a person without background
A low-level official will definitely be assigned to a shelter that is in disrepair and is close to the wall.
Liu Jing was born into a wealthy family and had a reputation himself, so his treatment was naturally different. His new residence was not only bright and sturdy, but also had flowers and plants planted in the front yard, making it extremely elegant.
Li Li said with an envious tone on the side: "This place was previously owned by Wang Jun, who was appointed as the magistrate of Ancheng County by Ming Fu Jun not long ago. He left here just the day before yesterday.
The king likes to be clean and does not tolerate any dirt. Every time he has a holiday, he orders his servants to come and sweep the house. Everything in the house is kept in good condition. Liu Jun does not need to do anything to tidy up, and he can move in directly. "
Liu Jing was very satisfied with the environment of his new home. Although he may not have anything to do with the other party, he was grateful: "It's an unexpected surprise to be able to live in such a house. Thank you very much for taking the trouble."
Li Li is a very self-aware person, and he quickly shook his head and said: "Liu Jun has made a mistake. The villain is just a guide, so there is no way he can help Liu Jun."
"By the way, Liu Jun," Li Li pointed to another elegant house next door and said, "I may know the owner of this house, Liu Jun."
"Oh, who is it?" Liu Jing asked curiously.
"The Duke of Cao Huan of Jin is the chief minister of Huan Jun."
"It turned out to be him."
A resolute and serious face immediately appeared in Liu Jing's mind.
Duke Huan's name is Huan Yi, also known as Gong Chang, and he is the second brother of the meritorious Cao Huanjie. A few days ago, he attended the wedding of his third brother Huan Tuo, during which he had a brief conversation with Huan Yi.
Huan Yi became famous very early. He was already famous in Changsha when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, and he and his brother Huan Jie were favored by Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha.
In the past few years, the Huan brothers were often compared to each other, but later, Huan Jie ignored Liu Biao's personal safety and went to Liu Biao to beg for the body of his late master Sun Jian, which made him a famous loyal man in the world. Huan Yi was also shined by his brother.
Covered up, from then on, the Huan brothers no longer agreed.
Liu Jing nodded and said: "Although I only met Duke Huan once, his grace is still fresh in my memory. It is a blessing to be able to be neighbors with a gentleman like him."
Li Li complimented: "Both Liu Jun and Huan Jun are virtuous gentlemen. If they live next to each other in the future, they will definitely become friends."
After saying that, Li Li pushed open the gate and led Liu Jing through the courtyard and into the house.
Li Li's previous words were indeed true. Not only was the room very clean, but the kitchen was also neatly tidied. You could move in without much cleaning, which saved a lot of time.
Song Gu tied up the oxen, took out the mat from the car, spread it on the ground, and brought in writing desks and cushions for Liu Jing and Li Li to rest.
Liu Jing invited Li Li to sit down and thanked him: "You have been working with me for most of the day. It's been really hard work."
Li Li shook his head and said: "A trivial matter is nothing."
Liu Jing took the water he had brought and poured it for Li Li. He asked, "I wonder if you can familiarize yourself with the market situation?"
Li Li pondered for a moment and said: "Since Liu Jun asked, I will tell Liu Jun what I know:
The supervisor's surname is Huang Mingqiu, and he comes from a wealthy family in Linxiang. He had been in charge of Cangcao for several years, but due to mistakes in his appointment, he was forced to be transferred to the supervisor."
Liu Dingding nodded. There were some things that Li Li couldn't express clearly. He had already heard from his clan brother Liu Pan before that Huang Qiu was not a well-behaved person, drank excessively, and made many mistakes. If Zhang Xian, the prefect, had not treated him leniently, he would have been killed long ago.
If he is imprisoned and punished, how can he be allowed to stay in the county government?
"The name of the right historian of the city is Xie Liang, who is also a native of Linxiang. He was born in a poor family and worked his way up from a humble official.
As far as the villain knows, he has a calm personality and is courageous in taking on tasks. He rarely takes a break throughout the year and almost regards the market as his home.
As for other officials, I have limited understanding, so I won’t talk too much.”
After all, Li Li came from a meritorious position. Even though his position was low, his vision was extremely high. Except for the city supervisor and the city historian, he obviously did not take him seriously.
Liu Jing nodded and said with a smile: "That's enough. What you said helped me a lot. I finally no longer have a blind eye to the situation in the city."
"It would be great if I can help Liu Jun." Li Li hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but couldn't help but asked: "Liu Jun comes from a noble family and has both ability and political integrity. Why don't you let Liu Jun choose among the Cao Cao?"
Choose to go to the market?”
Li Li was not the first to ask this question, nor would he be the last.
Liu Jing once again used the famous minister Wu Lun as a shield, and finally said: "As long as you are willing to work hard, you can shine no matter where you are."
Li Li's face twitched and he was speechless for a moment.
Song Gu worked back and forth for nearly half an hour before finally moving all the things in the car into the house.
Li Li saw that Liu Jing'an was almost settled, so he immediately said goodbye: "The meritorious officer has many affairs, and it is not suitable for me to stay for a long time. If Liu Jun has no other instructions, I will go back."
"Since I have official duties, I won't do much to persuade you to stay." Liu Jing stood up to see him off.
"I'll come back tomorrow, tomorrow, to accompany Liu Jun to the city hall to take up his post." Li Li said before leaving.
Liu Jun nodded. It was six o'clock in the morning on the first day of the week. The working hours of officials in the Han Dynasty were from seven in the morning (Mao hour) to five (Shen hour). The distance between the official residence and the market was not very close, so Li Li needed to arrive half an hour in advance.
Come and have a meeting with Liu Jing.
After watching Li Li leave, Liu Jing returned to the house. The first thing he did was to sort out the books. This time he brought a lot of books, enough for him to read for a while.
Song Gu was not idle on the other side, because Liu Jingling's salary rice was all raw grain and needed to be processed and the rice husk removed.
There were ready-made stone pestles in the courtyard. Song Gu borrowed the power of oxen and spent most of the afternoon to solve Liu Jing's feeding problem.
The sun was about to set at this time, and the official residence was the place where county officials lived on weekdays. Not to mention servants, even family members were not allowed to stay overnight.
Whether it is reasonable or not is put aside for now. Since there are such rules, you need to abide by them. So as soon as the matter came to an end, Liu Jing asked Song Gu to drive home quickly.
The time is just right now. If we delay it longer, we will inevitably take some risks when traveling.
After Song Gu left, Liu Jing started to light a fire and cook. He brought the firewood from home specially, otherwise he would have to make a special trip to the market.
In the Han Dynasty, both large households and small households generally practiced two meals a day, with porridge in the morning and dry rice in the evening. Most of the meals in the morning were made of porridge made from the overnight meal, and only a simple meal was eaten. Only the dinner meal was more formal.
Serious cooking.
In Liu Jing's previous life, he had always lived alone since he was a child, so his cooking skills were certainly not bad.
If there is no wok, a copper cauldron will be used instead; if there is no soybean oil, fat will be used instead. There is no need to worry about the ingredients. Fatty meat and venison breasts, chickens and pickled fish, vegetables and fruits, everything is available, all given by the tribesmen before leaving.
This was his first meal when he came to Linxiang. He put a little thought into it and made a bowl of meatball and sunflower soup, a plate of scrambled eggs with green onions, and marinated venison breast, which was quite a sumptuous meal.
It had been a long time since he had eaten food cooked by himself. Liu Jing finished two large bowls of rice before he stopped using his chopsticks.
After drinking and eating, Liu Jingshu lazily leaned on the couch and opened the "Book of Han". He had already read the biographies of the people in Gaozu's period. Next, it was Emperor Wen's turn. There was one person in this period who could not
Don't mention it, he is Jia Yi.
When talking about Jia Yi, the first reaction in Liu Jing's mind was Li Shangyin's poem "Jia Sheng" that has been passed down through the ages: "The promulgation office seeks talents and visits ministers, but Jia Sheng's talent is even more incompetent. It's a pity that he sat in front of the table in the middle of the night and didn't ask the common people's questions."
spirits."
In the eyes of later generations, Jia Yi was full of tragedy, and his talent was rarely seen in his life. Moreover, his talent was not an ordinary talent, but a talent that could assist the emperor in governing the world.
Liu Xiang, a famous scholar in the former Han Dynasty, felt deeply sorry for Jia Yi and said bluntly: "Jia Yi talked about the three dynasties and the Qin Dynasty to control the chaos. His theory is very beautiful and understands the state system. Although it is ancient Iraq, it cannot be far beyond it."
His son Liu Xin even admired Jia Yi the most, claiming: "The only Confucian scholar in the Han Dynasty was Jia Sheng."
Liu Jing was unconvinced about such an evaluation. It is said that Jia Yi was demoted to Changsha and served as Prince Tutor. Although it only lasted for three years, the people of Changsha have never forgotten his kindness and even built an ancestral hall for him after his death. So far, there are no sacrifices.
