The orioles are chirping outside, and the willow trees in the courtyard of the guest house of the county magistrate's house have sprouted their buds. Spring has arrived.
Xiao He woke up early in the morning as usual, only to find that Cao Shen and Liu Ji, who lived next door to him, were missing...
It had been two days since he arrived in Jimo, and Xiao He was a little embarrassed.
Cao Shen was transferred to Jiaodong as an official by Heifu according to the procedure. He has been appointed as the "Right History of Thief Cao" with a rank of two hundred stones. He is the right-hand man of Cao Tie, the thief, specializing in thieves and public security. He has already
He happily wore his new official uniform, put on his half seal, and went to his post.
As for Liu Ji, he had no choice but to confess to Hei Fu in order to save his life. Hei Fu also showed his "magnanimity" and did not hold on to what happened back then and carelessly spared Liu Ji's life.
But the strange thing is that after sending Xiao He and Cao Shen into the house that day, Hei Fu left Liu Ji alone in the courtyard. Afterwards, Liu Ji's cheeks were pale and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. From then on, he was cautious about mentioning Hei Fu and did not dare to reveal it.
He was half-arrogant, and from time to time he suddenly turned his head to look outside the room, becoming suspicious, completely unlike his usual self, as if he had been frightened by something.
Hei Fu did not intend to let Liu Ji go, but asked Liu Ji to stay temporarily and become the county guard's retainer. He entertained him with good wine and meat every day, and accompanied him to inspect the Jimo warehouse and treasury...
Xiao He was a little confused: "Lv Gong also said that this Liu Ji was so bold that he could not be frightened by law or coercion. When a disaster was approaching, he could still think about getting married and sleeping with the bride before leaving. What exactly did the Jiaodong County Sheriff say to him that day?
What?"
Unable to figure this out, Xiao He walked around inside and outside the courtyard and found that everyone was busy except for himself who was bored.
He was cautious in doing things, and Peixian County did not resign rashly, but took a month's leave. On the surface, he accompanied Liu Jilai to make amends, and also thanked Hei Fu for "the favor". But now that everything is done, Hei Fu
But he didn't let him go. He only asked Xiao He to stay for a few days and let Chen Ping accompany him around the city, but he ignored Xiao He.
This was obviously a hard-to-get strategy, but Xiao He still felt very uncomfortable. At this point, if he took the initiative to request to stay in Jiaodong, he would appear to be on both sides of the fence. If he went back, what was the point of his trip?
The only step is for Heifu to take the initiative to invite him...
Fortunately, Hei Fu didn't let him go for too long. At noon, after returning from inspecting the arsenal, he called Xiao He over. After talking some nonsense, he handed a letter to Xiao He's case.
When Xiao He saw it, he saw that it was a reply from the Sishui County Sheriff and the Supervisor to Heifu. The general content of the letter was that if Xiao He was willing, he could be seconded to the Jiaodong County Sheriff for half a year.
Xiao He had already expected it, but he still asked knowingly: "Chief Wei, what do you mean?"
Heifu also simply opened the skylight and spoke frankly: "Xiao Jun is famous for his talents in Surabaya. He was unwilling to go to Xianyang to take up his post at first, or he thought it was a long way. Once he becomes an official, it will last three to five years and he does not know when he will return."
"But Jiaodong is different. If you go quickly, you can return to Fengpei to take care of your family in just half a month. So when I left Peixian, I took matters into my own hands and sent a letter to Sishui County, hoping to second you to Jiaodong."
Heifu stood up and pretended to be worried: "You have been here for a few days and you have seen that although Jiaodong has been a county for several years, there has been little progress in governance. After this county is guarded, everything needs to be restarted and there is an urgent need for officials to help.
Xiao Jun also said that if your parents are here, you will not travel far away, but there is another sentence behind it, you must travel well! Since the family no longer objects to you serving as an official abroad, why not stay for another half a year and help me govern the country? "
Now Xiao He couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
If you refuse again at this time, it will appear to be too disrespectful, and both parties will be unable to step down. Xiao He can only look hesitant at first, and finally nod in agreement, making a touched gesture, and bowed down:
"The county governor has repeatedly dismissed Xiao He, why don't you dare to resign again? I will do my best to assist the county governor in running the county..."
At this time, acting was all that mattered. Hei Fu went down to the hall and helped him up, laughing and saying, "With the help of two heroes, Xiao and Cao, I won't have to worry about having no one to help me."
Heifu asked people to open a brown sugar shop in Pei County. In addition to Liu Ji, Xiao He was also an important target. He knew Xiao He's resume clearly: when Xiao He was in Chu State, he was a small official in Fengyi. After Qin established Pei County
, although Xiao He was in his thirties, he took the initiative to request to be admitted to the school as a disciple. In the school, he showed himself to be a top student, and soon became able to speak fluent Guanzhong Yayan, and also mastered Qin Zhuan and Qin Li...
After that, he ranked first in the school and served as an assistant. He was selected by the magistrate of Pei County and became "Wen Wuhai".
A person with harmless writing means that he can write documents without flaws, which is equivalent to the secretary of the county magistrate in later generations. The speeches of leaders and the documents written to the county and the court were all written by Xiao Helai. Because the documents he wrote were simple and simple.
He was also very logical and well-liked by Pei Ling, so he promoted Xiao He and made him a chief official, responsible for government personnel work. The people promoted by Xiao He were all virtuous, and the people he dismissed were all mediocre people. Everyone praised him, and for
This won the first place in the year-end assessment of Sishui County.
So Heifu knew that what Xiao He was currently best at and most experienced in was paperwork and personnel matters.
The work he arranged for Xiao He is about to come out.
"I want to offer wine to you as the county school! Rank two hundred stones!"
…
"Sacrifice wine?"
Xiao He had been involved in the Qin Dynasty system for many years and was familiar with the duties of counties and counties in the Qin Dynasty, but the position of offering wine was extremely unfamiliar to him.
Looking back, I actually heard from people from Qi who passed by Pei County in the past that there was a wine sacrificial bureau under Linziji, which was responsible for managing the school. Xunzi had made sacrificial wine three times.
Now, several years after Jixia was destroyed, this title has been brought out by Hei Fu again!
Hei Fu nodded: "You should also know that the first thing I did when I came to Jimo was to issue a decree to establish legal teachings and reduce penalties. For this purpose, two schools were set up to recruit the eldest sons of wealthy families in the county.
, beautiful education, changing customs. But I am busy with government affairs and have no skills at all, so I want to make people serve as public school priests, specialize in legal education, and select those who excel in exams as officials in the school. This is the first thing I have to do in Jiaodong.
This matter must be done by someone who has learned poetry, calligraphy, laws, and regulations, and must have a keen eye to know people. Apart from Xiao Jun, there really is no suitable candidate."
Heifu has already made a suggestion to the Yushifu. In the Qin Dynasty, there were three elders to regulate education in the countryside, but at the county level, there was no dedicated person in charge of education, and the county magistrate and Ling Cao were in charge.
Since he was determined to keep education in his hands, Heifu certainly wanted to seize power from the county magistrate, so he proposed to add "county sacrificial wine" and "county sacrificial wine" under the county magistrate.
Offering wine is equivalent to the director of the education bureau or the principal. If it were a military school, Heifu would definitely have to do it himself, but since he only teaches local officials, there is no need for this.
This was the first thing Heifu decided to do in Jiaodong, and it was also related to the "credibility" of his and Chen Ping's joint efforts, so it had to be presided over by a talented person.
By the way, this matter seems important, but it has no real power. You can also try Xiao He's ability: Heifu will not judge a person casually because of his reputation in history.
"Why does the County Sheriff have such a heavy responsibility? How dare he fail to do his best..."
Xiao He's plan to support local snakes in Pei County in order to protect himself in the future has been shattered, and he has no choice but to stay in Jiaodong. Although the black man in front of him is difficult to figure out, he is also a thick-legged man. He can only hug him helplessly. In this case,
I want Heifu to see his talent...
So before Xiao He went to Jiaodong Public School to offer wine, he raised a question that he had noticed but Heifu had ignored.
Xiao He said: "The commander-in-chief wants to promote the Dharma teachings and change the customs in Jiaodong. It is certainly important to recruit children from wealthy families to enroll in schools, but if we don't do another thing at the same time, I'm afraid it will be half the result with twice the result... This matter is very important in Qin.
Henan County is not obvious, but in Guandong, especially in Qidi, it cannot be ignored!"
Heifu became interested: "Oh! What is it? I would like to hear the details."
Xiao He has been in the officialdom for several years, and the official education in Fengfei is also in a mess. Except for people like him and Cao Shen who are willing to join the officialdom, the school has little effect. There is only one reason for this...
Xiao He said with a smile: "I heard that if Qin Shangjun wants to promote public war, he must first prohibit private fighting. Now if the county governor wants to promote public education and teaching, he must first prohibit private learning!"
ps: Let’s have a meal, there are two more chapters in the evening
