The eighteenth chapter, come to Dianjiang again, go to the county town
"Linjiang County, Bazhou?" Chen Hongyu thought quickly in his mind.
In fact, he has some knowledge about the neighboring counties in Bazhou.
After all, Xu Yan was once the general judge of the Linjiang County soldiers in Bazhou, and his status was not low.
When he and Xu Yan rushed to the capital, they stayed in a nearby county town for a day.
Therefore, I still know some details about Linjiang.
Generally speaking, Linjiang County has a good geographical location. The Wujiang River flows through the territory, and it is quite prosperous.
However, within a county, each county is different.
Wealthy people, such as Dianjiang County. The tributaries of the Wujiang River meander in the Dianjiang River, sending huge river water to various places in the county. Not only are fertile fields spread all over, water transportation is extremely convenient, and commerce along the Dianjiang River is also very developed.
Poor areas, such as Anding County, with Wushan Mountain at its back, should be rich in forestry resources and relatively prosperous.
However, there are barbarians living in the Wushan Mountains, and they often descend from the mountains to plunder, which makes the lives of the people in several counties near the Wushan Mountains more difficult. Most of the soldiers in Linjiang County are used to defend against those barbarians.
"But what happened to these barbarians? Why did the Wu court allow them to live in Wushan.
Logically speaking, although the Wu Dynasty's national power has been weakened in recent years, once the army invades the territory, it will naturally be difficult for the barbarians in Wushan to escape.
What's more, this is a world where you can practice. Even if it is suppressed by heaven and earth, the combination of high-level Confucianism cultivators and the army will definitely be extremely powerful.
How can this barbarian tribe be allowed to survive to this day?"
Confused, Chen Hongyu looked directly at Sima Xun: "Sima Xianggong, although there are rich lands in the neighboring counties, but with the intervention of Qin Xianggong, I must go to the three counties near the barbarians."
Hearing this, Sima Xun nodded calmly. If Xu Ping couldn't even see this, it would be really unexpected. He would have to see if there was a replacement.
Moreover, he had just been thinking for a while, apparently wanting to ask questions related to the barbarians.
"Xianggong Sima, why didn't you just send out the imperial army to annihilate the barbarians in Wushan, instead of allowing them to bring disaster to Linjiang's Anding, Gaoping, and Wushi counties?"
Hearing this, Sima Xun frowned and then said: "This Wushan Mountain was actually transformed into fragments of the world when the demons from outside the territory invaded the Confucian world nearly a thousand years ago.
Wushan was originally a fragment of another world, and was used as a transit point by extraterrestrial demons to attack our world.
It's just that these outside demons didn't expect that our Confucian world has a profound foundation. Once the seal of heaven and earth is lifted, the power that Confucian cultivators of all realms can exert is much stronger than before.
Even Daruya Saint appeared a lot, and even once invaded the outer realm of the demons.
After these extraterritorial demons were defeated, the world fragments used as transfer stations were directly absorbed by the world.
As for these barbarians, we originally wanted to annihilate them directly, but it was thanks to our efforts in promoting enlightenment in the Confucian world.
These barbarians were not at fault in the first place, and with the guarantee of the great Confucians, they were not directly annihilated.
Over the past thousands of years, the millions of barbarians who originally lived in the Wushan Mountains have gradually naturalized, changed their roots and returned to their roots, becoming the people of Wu, and naturally there are less things about the barbarians.
But there are still hundreds of thousands of barbarians in the Wushan Mountains near Linjiang. I'm afraid you will have to worry a lot when the time comes."
"It turns out there is such a reason. I didn't pay much attention to it at first. But this trip is to Linjiang, so I want to get to know it better."
With thoughts in his mind, Chen Hongyu started discussing with Sima Xun again.
Since going to Linjiang is already the best choice, you must choose one of the several counties in Linjiang close to the barbarians that best suits your needs.
I went there to make political achievements, not just to eat and die.
…
In August of the ninth year of Hongguang, Xu Ping, who ranked first in the general examination, was awarded the top prize in the new subject. After discussion by several ministers in the political affairs hall, Xu Ping, the top scorer in the new subject, was transferred to the counties to know the affairs of Anding County, Linjiang County, Bazhou.
Bazhou, Linjiang County, Dianjiang.
After more than ten days of ups and downs, Chen Hongyu finally arrived in Dianjiang again.
At this time, he was dressed in military uniform, riding a war horse, and followed by dozens of followers.
"County magistrate, we have now arrived in Dianjiang. Your song "East Lake Moon Night Walk on Dianjiang Road" has a high reputation among the painted boats of East Lake even now.
When this term first came out, it attracted a lot of attention in Donghu."
At this time, among the entourage behind him, a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe complimented.
Hearing Wang You's somewhat flattering words, Chen Hongyu shook his head.
"Youzhi, be careful what you say. Although the level of this poem is pretty good, Donghu Zhigui is a bit over the top."
In the Dawu system, the magistrate is the most respected person in a county. Below the magistrate are the county captain and county magistrate.
County lieutenant, responsible for the security of a county and the arrest of thieves, is below the level of the county magistrate
The county magistrate's status in the county is generally second only to the county magistrate. Some minor incidents can be handled independently, but major events need to be reported to the county magistrate.
The county magistrate has no right to make decisions such as those who are sentenced to death, murder, bandits, and those who oppose the imperial power. They are the checks and balances and supervision of the county magistrate.
At the same time, the county magistrate has the ability to impeach the county magistrate and is also responsible for presiding over some affairs. This is the court's balancing act.
As for the main bookkeeper, it is usually the county magistrate's own master who supervises the county magistrate. This person is responsible for written and documentary matters, money, food, and household registration. He reports to the county magistrate and has a great influence on the county magistrate.
Checks and balances.
This Wang You is a descendant of Sima Xun's maternal clan. Although his talent is not that outstanding, and his Confucianism and Taoism cultivation is only that of a scholar, his ability is not low, and he is more than enough to be a master.
"Magistrate, now we have arrived at Dianjiang, and we must not be far from Linjiang County City, where the seat of Linjiang County is."
"Yes!" Chen Hongyu responded, "The Linjiang County Sheriff and other officials still have to pay homage.
There are also several uncles among the defenders who also need to pay a visit.
My uncle has been a general judge for many years and has good relations with many generals in the Linjiang County garrison. However, now that my uncle has left, the contact will inevitably be reduced, but it needs to be maintained.
If there is a need to maintain political stability in the future, we can also borrow help."
As he said that, he paused, "Of course, in order to maintain stability in the government in the future, I still need to work hard on my own. Otherwise, even with the help of the generals in the army, it will be in vain."
Although Xu Yan had served as a judge in Linjiang and had connections that he could rely on, he still needed to be tough and able to control the situation.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Hongyu galloped his horse and whipped his whip: "Let's go to the county town!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves.
…
In Anding County, the Zhou family's mansion is vast, with servants constantly passing through it.
A servant quickly walked through the courtyard corridors and came to the study at the core.
"Sir, the magistrate has arrived at the county seat!"
"Are we here yet?"
In the study room, a middle-aged man put down his brush and looked at the writing on the rice paper on the desk in front of him, with a gloomy look in his eyes.
