Chapter 971 Captain and Sima
The reform of the electoral system is a secret and will not be made public for the time being, but a complete plan needs to be produced before the winter months.
Even if it's rough and needs revision, you have to come up with a plan.
This is Maobang's most important job at present. He himself has devoted himself wholeheartedly to this matter, because it is possible that it will go into the history books!
Even if it was Wang Yan who took the lead, he would definitely go down in history if he only assisted in the reform of the official system and was listed on the list.
They may also be scolded by the children of scholars, because they can't help but be drinking and having fun one moment, and the next moment they are picked up by a bus sent by the court to serve as officials.
In a word, the advantages of being an official for a scholar are still great, but it requires hard work, learning and competition.
If you don't want to fall behind at the starting line, you should throw away the five-stone powder now, start studying hard, and strive to become a noble official.
If you feel that you are not capable of being a noble official, then you can become a "service door" affairs officer with specific duties. Anyway, you have a manor at home, so stop playing around and actively participate in management.
The manors are not small, and many county magistrates do not have as many people as you. If you can manage the manor well, you will be able to manage a county.
It's a pity that most people are still in a state of confusion. They only care about criticizing Shao Thief and don't know how to work hard in advance.
Among these people, Bian Tao is a crooked person.
His father Bian Dun became the governor of Chenliu.
The importance of this county is one of the highest in the world. Unfortunately, his father is not in good health and he doesn't know how many years the governor will be able to serve. Bian Tao has no choice.
All we can do now is work hard.
On this day, Prime Minister Wang Yan sent someone to Bian Tao's residence and asked: "Yingzhi, do you want an official position or not?"
Of course!
It's just that the official is a bit like that: Sima, the captain of Zhengba Duzhi.
Bian Tao thought about it all day and then agreed.
He silently returned to Jiyin, took off his scholar's robe, changed into a military uniform, put on his walking bow that had not been touched for at least five years, and took office.
After arriving in Bianliang, he received his official uniform and official seal, and hurried to Wenshijin Ferry to meet with his chief officer.
"Get on the boat." A loud voice with a thick accent came from the river wind carrying the strong smell of water.
Bian Tao was startled and looked up, only to see a small boat coming from the north shore. There was a man standing on the bow, waving.
Soon, the ship arrived at the ferry.
Bian Tao saw the right moment and jumped on the boat.
Captain Duzhi (seventh grade) looked him up and down and said, "How can you be a military attache with your body?"
"Captain Sima is not a military officer." Bian Tao argued: "There are many Sima, but they are not military officers."
"If you say it's not true, then it's not true." The captain said helplessly: "King Liang was once the lieutenant Sima of the East China Sea Kingdom."
Bian Tao pursed his lips.
"I am Lueyang Fu'an." Fu'an's voice was louder when he said this.
Bian Tao glanced at him and said, "Jiyin Bian Tao."
When Fu An introduced himself, he deliberately spoke loudly, which seemed a bit self-promoting.
However, he obviously didn't realize that Bian Tao was a scholar from Jiyin and had never been in officialdom. How did he know about the Fu family in Lueyang? He didn't even know which noble families there were in Lueyang.
But after all, he was his superior. Bian Tao endured the discomfort and said: "The Fu clan of Lueyang? They are a famous clan in Zhongxia. With the Fu clan here, the group of Hus will not dare to make mistakes."
Fu An's face froze and he didn't say much. He just said: "Now we are the Fu family of Jijun."
Bian Tao didn't think anything when he heard it at first, but when he heard it again, he almost fell off the boat.
He remembered!
Isn't this the Di Chief Fu's family who moved from Lueyang to Fangtou, Ji County? His face suddenly became ugly. It was the first time he met his colleagues and he was still his boss, and it was really not smooth for him to do something like this.
Neither of them spoke anymore.
The boat rowed slowly, crossing the turbid river and drifting to the other side.
Opposite is Fangtou. The landmark event of King Liang's capture of Hebei was the construction of a city at Fangtou and the repelling of Shi Le's offensive. Since then, Shi Le's rule in Yecheng has become precarious, and it can even be said to be a doomed situation. The only suspense is how long it can last.
Thinking of this, Bian Tao couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Some people privately joked that King Liang "shangzhu entered the official position". The "lord" was both the princess and the mistress, but there was really no opportunism in his process of conquering the world, and all his enemies were defeated by him.
Is Shi Le bad? It might not be possible at first, but after fighting for so many years, the tribe has become able to fight.
Are the Huns bad? It might not work at first, but after more than ten years of fighting, they have been able to defeat the Xiliang soldiers many times and crush their intention to go eastward.
Tuoba Xianbei's armor and long spear are also very effective in fighting hard.
The growth process of this group of people is similar to that of the heroes of the late Han Dynasty, and the process of King Liang's seizure of the North is also similar to that of Cao Mengde.
Bian Tao looked at the increasingly taller city quietly, his eyes a little confused.
In the past, maybe I was really too arrogant.
"Crash!" There was a sound of splashing water, and the boat had already docked on the river.
The troop carriers on the ship immediately got up and lined up ashore.
Bian Tao followed Fu An and landed in Hebei.
Outside the north and south cities of Fangtou, there were crowds of people everywhere.
"Captain, this is..." Bian Tao pointed not far away and asked.
"The imperial court has an order to send five thousand people to Liyang to follow the army southward." Fu An said: "Have you seen those ships? The ones coming from Yecheng are full of grain, grass and military supplies. Our troops will load them in Fangtou. Ship and then send it to Runan. "Is the fighting fierce in the south?" Bian Tao asked.
Fu An was silent for a moment, and finally explained: "That's not the case. The Runan Di Qiang were unwilling to go south to Xiangyang because of the epidemic in the tribe. The imperial court mobilized troops——"
At this point, he sighed, with a sad feeling on his face, and said: "The imperial court wants to raid them as a warning. It may not only be Li Yang's army going south, but also other troops."
Bian Tao was speechless.
Feng Yi and Di Qiang went to Runan. It may be difficult to adapt to it and many people are sick, but it may also be an excuse because they don't want to fight. But the court obviously didn't want to listen to their explanation and took action directly.
Bian Tao had a deeper understanding of Prince Liang. Who is this person?
Of course, he has an answer to this question.
"Will the Fangtou Di soldiers go south?" Bian Tao suddenly asked.
"Unless we rebel together, otherwise..." Fu An didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was obvious.
Bian Tao understood.
The tens of thousands of Di people who migrated to Fangtou did not dare to make trouble.
They may never dare to rebel, or they may be waiting for an opportunity, such as when the power of the Shao family is handed over to father and son.
"Is King Liang going to found his country?" Fu An asked.
"This is the second time I have made three concessions." Bian Tao looked at the Di village in the distance and replied casually.
"You know how to play these little tricks." Fu An chuckled and said, "Why did King Liang refuse the first time?"
Bian Tao withdrew his gaze and said: "The king said that he raised the army for the common people of the world and had no selfish motives, so he politely declined to give in."
Fu An had a funny expression on his face and asked again: "What about this time?"
"The King of Liang said that there are many talented people in the world, so he asked his ministers to find someone else."
Fu An didn't laugh this time, but he was a little impressed. He was acting so seriously, how could you hold back your laughter?
"It's already the sixth day of the seventh lunar month. I'll wait for at most three days before you escort a batch of grain and grass to Yewang." Fu An calmed down and said, "Don't worry, the Qinshui River will rise sharply, and the grain ship can reach the city directly."
"Why go to the Wild King?" Bian Tao asked.
"Xianbei went south to pay homage," Fu An said.
"Tuoba clan?"
"Not only the Tuoba clan, but also the Yuwen clan." Fu An said: "The Yuwen clan is now the head of the begging turtle family. He was just beaten to the point of being severely injured by the Murong clan, so he sent his nephew Yuwen Xi to lead five hundred horses. Thousands of vehicles and thousands of soldiers and civilians went south as hostages.”
"Murong is so powerful?" Bian Tao was a little surprised and asked: "Why is Yu Wenqiu not diligent?"
"Dead." Fu An said: "After his death, within two or three years, the Yuwen clan suffered consecutive defeats. The leaders Yuwen Mogui and Yuwen Xun Niyan died one after another. Now Yuwen is in power."
< br>
"How did you die?" Bian Tao asked stupidly.
Fu An glanced at him and said meaningfully: "There is no need for useless leaders on the grassland. If Yuwen begs for help and then suffers defeat, I don't think he will live long."
Bian Tao felt a chill in his heart. This was much crueler than the Han Dynasty.
"The beggar turtle wants the court to protect him. It seems he is afraid of being beaten." Bian Tao said with a sigh.
"The imperial court will definitely help the Yuwen clan." Fu An said.
Bian Tao agreed.
The Murong clan was so strong that they defeated the Yuwen clan countless times. Even Goguryeo defeated them more than once, losing countless soldiers, people, and cities.
The Jin court also seized all the land and population in Liaodong.
During the years when Wang Jun was engaged in the melee in Youzhou and Hebei, no less than 200,000 Han people came over one after another, all of whom were used by him.
The King of Liang would definitely not tolerate such wantonness, so it was inevitable to protect the Yuwen family.
But - what if Murong also sent envoys to pay tribute? Will it be conquered?
"Let's go." Fu An stretched out his hand to pat Bian Tao's shoulder, but quickly retracted and said: "Go and sit in Fangtou. My brother is going south. It will not be easy to meet him."
"Yes." Bian Tao did not refuse and agreed, then asked again: "Is there someone from Tuoba Xianbei going south?"
"I heard that Mrs. Wang went south with Liangcheng County Duke Tuoba Lizhen." Fu An said, "Why do you ask? Dai Guo has already submitted and will send envoys here."
"You don't understand." Bian Tao's expression changed and he said: "This is to congratulate the king on the founding of the country. The third Zen edict may not be far away."
Fu An was stunned, is there such a thing? If you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
It is not easy for people to come once. For such an extremely important occasion as the founding of a country, it is best to have the king of the country present. After all, the emperor of the Central Plains likes the atmosphere of all nations coming to court.
After all, Mrs. Wang is a woman and her status is not very good, and the acting duke cannot come in person, so she can only be replaced by the duke of Liangcheng County.
Perhaps, Dai Gong still had the idea of making Tuoba Li Zhen a hostage? Fu An analyzed.
Just like Yuwen's begging turtle was too young and had no heirs, so he had to send his nephew Xiba Xiong south as a hostage - this nephew was much older than begged turtle.
Bian Tao did not stay in Fangtou for too long. On July 15, he led dozens of small boats to the Yewang City and delivered 100,000 grains and beans.
Outside Yewang City, hundreds of Xianbei cavalry escorted several carriages heading south, loaded with the finest black lamb skins selected from Dongmugen Mountain.
