When Su Fan led his army ten miles outside Songhai City, officials were already there to greet him.
The people who greeted Su Fan were the governor of Donghai County and a group of officials from Songhai City.
"It is our Songhai City's honor that Su Diannong can come to our Donghai."
The governor of Donghai County looks like he is only in his thirties, wearing a blue robe and the appearance of a Confucian scholar, with a bit of delicacy between his eyebrows.
I think he is an elegant and handsome man.
Not only that, Su Fan also sensed Dan Dan's sword intent from this person. The other person was not only a Confucian scholar, but also a swordsman.
His cultivation level is not low, and he has the realm of Tao Xuan.
"Chief Yang is joking"
When facing local officials, Su Fan did not have any arrogance and greeted them with a humble face. At the same time, he did not forget the group of officials in Songhai City.
At the same time, I was also recalling some information about the county governor.
Yang Lan, forty-five years old, is a Korean. He came to Daqin in his early years. From an official to the current official in the border areas, his ability is definitely not bad.
This person is an orthodox Legalist disciple, but it seems that after coming to the East China Sea, his behavior seems to be closer to Confucianism.
Confucianism and Legalism are somewhat antagonistic because of some of the current statements of Xunzi and Mencius.
Who is Xunzi? He is the patriarch of Confucianism today, but some of his ideas are closer to Legalism. It is not a problem to even say that he is close to Legalism.
His two disciples are also Legalists.
This also caused some Confucian schools to criticize Xunzi.
Of course, this does not affect Xunzi's status in Confucianism.
The orthodox disciple of Legalism in front of him was acting like an orthodox disciple of Confucianism at the moment, which made Su Fan a little curious.
In the past few years, the other party has been here in Qilu. Is it because of the influence of Xiaoshengxianzhuang that he wants to leave Legalism and enter the gate of Confucianism?
This is not a good choice.
Da Qin has always implemented Legalist thought. At the center of the Da Qin court, most of the people in power, except military strategists, are Legalists.
Li Si and Meng Yi were all Legalists, they also respected Legalism, and most of the court were Legalists.
Confucianism has a great reputation among the public, even greater than Legalism.
But in the government of Qin Dynasty, the voice of Confucianism is really not strong, and there are not many people in high positions.
Although Fusu's teacher was a Confucian, even to the level of a young master, he was just a name and had no real power.
Su Fan also knew that as long as Ying Zheng was in power, the Qin Dynasty would be controlled by Legalists, and Confucianism would have no chance at all.
This is true even if there are saints in Confucianism.
Today's Confucian Xunzi, a contemporary saint, still cannot influence Da Qin.
So Su Fan was curious. Most of the officials in the Qin Dynasty would try their best to get close to the Legalists and label themselves as Legalists, so that they could gain the attention of Shangfeng and get promoted.
It is true that the promotion of officials in Da Qin was not like that of the original Six Kingdoms, which were mostly based on their own abilities.
However, there are very few people who can become officials. Those who are incompetent are like people fishing in troubled waters.
Most of them are capable, so why promote you.
Disciples of the Legalist School were at home in the officialdom of the Qin Dynasty, because several important officials in the central government of the Qin Dynasty were all disciples of the Legalist School.
It is impossible for people to be without selfish motives. There are indeed selfless people, but it is also difficult to achieve them.
Everyone will use nepotism. After all, they can only use their own people. In the same way, if you, a high-ranking official of Legalism, choose Confucian disciples as his subordinates, they both have different ideas. When you give an order, the other party will obey and disobey it.
what to do?
Su Fan, who entered the officialdom, was very aware of the current situation in the officialdom of Great Qin.
As a high-ranking official of one side, Yang Lan is really a high-ranking official in the land of Qilu. A county guard of one side is considered a high-ranking official in the Qin officialdom.
However, in the final analysis, he is just the governor of Erqianshi, not the center.
If he changes his family, the outcome in the future will not be good. After all, there are not many Confucian disciples in the center.
It is almost impossible for him to rise, unless you are very capable or have made extraordinary achievements, which directly aroused Ying Zheng's idea.
Otherwise, being the county guard will be his job for the rest of his life.
Not everyone can be like Su Fan and directly become a central minister in just a few months.
This is because his Diannong Division has not been established long enough. As time goes by, Diannong Division's influence becomes greater and greater, and his position becomes more and more stable.
But even so, when he goes to the local government now, no official dares not to give him face.
Under the leadership of Yang Lan and a group of officials, they returned to the government office in Songhai City.
The first thing to do is, of course, to catch the wind and wash away the dust and throw a big banquet.
This matter was a normal human interaction, and Su Fan did not refuse. Even Wang Zhan also participated.
As for the army, it was arranged outside the city.
It is naturally impossible for an army of tens of thousands to enter the city at will.
While Su Fan and the others were having a banquet in the government office, a group of people from the Mo family gathered together in a secret place in Songhai City.
"How did he come to Songhai City? Did he discover us?"
Sledgehammer heard the news today and his face was full of doubts.
"For us, it's impossible. He is now the Sicheng of the Diannong Department, and his task is to promote agricultural technology. I'm afraid we, the people, are not worthy of him."
Gai Nie, who was relatively silent, looked at everyone and then said that among them, apart from Zhang Liang, he was the one who knew the most about Xianyang City.
I have a clearer understanding of the powerful people in Da Qin.
Although the Diannong Department is newly established, its power and status are no worse than that of Jiu Qing's department.
As the top leader, the other party can be said to have a high position of power. To be honest, they are really nothing in the eyes of Da Qin Zhengzhen's powerful people.
Ganie also felt this from the previous battle.
The power beyond the Tongxuan Realm made him confused, and he also understood what these people meant in Da Qin's eyes.
Just send out any master with five Qi Chaoyuan at will and you can kill them all in one fell swoop.
As for escaping and hiding, as a former personal sword guard of Ying Zheng, he is very aware of Da Qin's intelligence capabilities.
If we really have to search for them, it won't take long.
"Gane, do you think too highly of him?"
The sledgehammer was no good. Hearing Genie belittle them in such a way, he was a little angry.
"Have you forgotten the battle a few days ago? Although it's not clear which side it was from, the power was at least as strong as the Five Qi Chaoyuan, or even stronger. He had such a strong man sent by Ying Zheng beside him
Protection, what do you think about us people that deserve his attention?"
Gai Nie's words made Big Hammer freeze for a moment.
