Realizing This Is A Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years Chapter 61: Family of martial arts, the rich and powerful Jia
In the reception hall of Juhe County Government Office.
Cui Heng was sitting in the chair, and Xu Fengan was standing behind him, like a follower.
Liu Litao brought Qian Cang here and glanced at Xu Fengan, feeling a little familiar, but he didn't remember where he had seen it.
Then, his attention was focused on Cui Heng.
The magistrate of Juhe didn't seem to stand up and salute.
However, Liu Litao, the county governor, was not dissatisfied.
He found a vacant seat at will, took the initiative to open up the conversation, smiled in admiration: "Cui county magistrate is young and promising, he has only been in office for a few days, so he has managed this Juhe County in an orderly manner, and the people Settle down."
"Just doing your duty." Cui Heng smiled, and instead of beating around the bush, he asked directly, "Liu Taishou Xun Zun is here, I don't know what you are doing?"
"Cough, cough!" Liu Litao obviously did not expect Cui Heng to speak so directly, and after a few coughs, he said, "Since the county magistrate Cui has said so, then I will not sell it.
"To be honest with Magistrate Cui, a while ago, I occasionally felt a cold, and my body has been unwell. It has become difficult for me to handle government affairs in the county. I can't continue to be the county governor.
"At this time, I just heard that Magistrate Cui had defeated the army of Yan thieves and restored the people's livelihood in Juhe County, which had been impoverished for a long time, so I had some thoughts and wanted to ask Magistrate Cui if you wanted to serve as Lu The post of governor of the county.”
Saying that, he directly asked Qian Cang beside him to open the burden and took out the three things inside.
"Haha, the prefect is really well prepared." Cui Heng laughed when he saw it, "Even the recommendation letter is ready."
The three things Liu Litao brought were the seal of the prefect of Lu County, the official uniform of the prefect, and a letter of recommendation.
The first two are essential for serving as county governor.
The recommendation letter in the table above is the procedure for transferring the position of prefect.
Actually, the procedure for transferring the prefecture's post was not simple at first.
According to the official system of the Great Jin Dynasty, if the prefect wants to give up his position, he can appoint a non-relative candidate to take over the position of the prefect by recommending to the court.
After receiving the recommendation letter, the imperial court will send officials to inspect the recommended person.
After the imperial court received the results of the investigation, it convened the ministers to discuss, and finally approved the approval. The appointment letter was issued back to the county, and the recommended person could actually take office.
But this is a policy that can only be fully implemented in an era when the imperial court has a strong dominance over the region.
Since a hundred years ago, the national power of Dajin has been deteriorating, and the control over the region has become weaker and weaker. Gradually, it has developed into a situation where the new prefect can take office as long as the recommendation letter is sent to the imperial city.
This is because the inspectors sent by the imperial court could not reach the local area at all, and would always be killed by bandits on the way for no apparent reason. Later, the imperial court simply gave up this step.
Nowadays the world is in chaos, government orders are hard to come out of Zhongzhou, and the state and county are more free. Although the above-listed recommendation book still exists, it has been reduced to a face project.
Even the step of sending it to the Imperial City was omitted.
You just need to set up an altar, burn the recommendation book above in the direction of the Imperial City of Zhongzhou, and then pay your respects, even if the recommendation is completed.
The new county governor can immediately take office.
The Void recommends belonging to yes.
Now Liu Litao has even prepared the recommendation letter, which means that as long as he burns the recommendation letter on the spot, and then bows in the direction of Zhongzhou, Cui Heng will become the rightful prefect of Lu County.
Cui Heng originally planned to take the position of the prefect of Lu County, but he did not expect that the prefect of Lu County would come to the door on his own initiative, which made him a little surprised.
However, he did not directly agree, but shook his head and said with a half-smiling smile: "The prefect is really just feeling the cold, feeling unwell, unable to continue to handle political affairs, and can only give up his post?"
If it was before, he wouldn't care why Liu Litao gave up the prefect.
But after listening to Xu Feng'an's remarks, he felt that it was necessary for this Prefect Liu to tell the truth.
"This..." Liu Litao was at a loss for words.
At the same time, he glanced at Qian Cang beside him suspiciously, as if asking, "Didn't you say that the magistrate is bound to win the prefecture? Why do you ask so much?"
Qian Cang also looked confused. Why is this attitude different from what he showed before?
Have you made a mistake in "diagnosing your thoughts"?
However, Liu Litao is a sharp-minded person after all.
After a brief stupor, he realized that Cui Heng should know something, so he turned to Qian Cang and said, "You go out first, I have something to tell Magistrate Cui."
"Yes." Qian Cang hurriedly retired and left in a hurry.
He now deeply realizes that, as a little guy, he must have the self-consciousness of a little guy, and it is better not to get involved in too many things between the big guys.
"It seems that the Prefect does have something to say." Cui Heng smiled.
"It made Magistrate Cui laugh." Liu Litao smiled bitterly, looked at Xu Fengan behind Cui Heng, and hesitated, "This is..."
"This is Xu Fengan, the Supreme Elder of Yuhua Jiange." Cui Heng briefly introduced and said with a smile, "If Liu Taishou has anything to say, just say it."
"Xu Feng'an! The interior of the Yuhua Sword Pavilion is superb, the number one master in Lu County, the white jade sword god, one of the nine swords in the world?!" Liu Litao couldn't help but exclaimed, his eyes widened and he looked at Xu Fengan in shock. .
No wonder I felt familiar, it was him, I only glanced at him from a distance at a conference three years ago.
This is a big man who can be on an equal footing with Fengzhou Mu, and he doesn't even have the chance to meet each other on weekdays, so how could he appear here?
And he was standing behind the magistrate Cui with the attitude of a follower!
From this point of view, even if the rumors are a little distorted, this magistrate Cui is probably a real fairy.
Far above the top of the rivers and lakes.
Liu Litao is still skeptical of the news that the magistrate of Juhe has destroyed the 50,000 army in a blink of an eye.
Not entirely sure.
After all, this kind of thing is too bizarre, and it is completely challenging people's common sense.
If it wasn't for the fact that the sects were too tight, and the Fengzhou Mu Caoquan was assassinated first, he would definitely make a decision after further investigation and confirmation.
But now, seeing Xu Fengan respectfully standing behind Cui Heng like a follower, he believed the news about Cui Heng seven or eight points.
It is enough to be respected as a god-like figure to make a big man standing at the top of the rivers and lakes so respectful.
Cui Heng looked at Xu Fengan in surprise after hearing the series of names that Liu Litao had revealed. He didn't expect this old boy's name to be quite long.
"Let the county magistrate laugh, it's just a fake name." Xu Fengan said a little embarrassedly.
Before Liu Litao came in, Cui Heng had already agreed with him that he should not reveal his identity and only address the county magistrate.
"If Taishou Liu has anything to say, you might as well say it directly." Cui Heng looked at Liu Litao again.
"Yes, Xianzun." Liu Litao subconsciously changed his title, he organized his language, took a deep breath, and said, "Since Elder Xu is also here, you must have known about the century-old affairs.
"Now that the century is approaching, these martial arts sects that are not at the top of the rivers and lakes have begun to covet the position of state shepherds and want to get a piece of the pie, and the master of Fengzhou shepherds is probably killed because of this.
"Actually, before the Fengzhou Shepherd's seat was vacated, the foreign affairs deacons of the Taichong School, Tianjianmen, Hejia, Fashan Temple, Qingyuguan, and other sects all came to me and wanted to push me to go to the prefecture. position of shepherd.
"Originally, I thought they were just boasting and talking big and didn't take it seriously, but after the assassination of Lord Cao, I found that they were very likely to think so.
"As long as you push me, a person who is easy to handle, to be a puppet, they can divide the spoils unscrupulously, and they don't need to care about my thoughts at all..."
"Even if they want to divide the spoils, don't you also sit on the position of state shepherd, Master Liu?" Cui Heng said with a smile, "This is the best of both worlds, why not do it?"
"Lord Xianzun is joking." Liu Litao said with a bitter face, "It's not just them that there are no top sects in Fengzhou, and there are top forces that won't necessarily give up competing for the position of state shepherd.
"This is the cusp of a storm. If you don't pay attention, you may die. Master Cao has learned from the past. I don't dare not be afraid, so I thought, I should give up the position of prefect and give it to..."
Speaking of which, he couldn't go on, and didn't dare to say any more.
"In such a dangerous position, why don't you give me this scapegoat?" Cui Heng pretended to be sneering, "Isn't it?"
"Don't dare! I definitely don't dare to think like this!" Liu Litao rolled down from his chair in panic, lying on the ground and explaining to Cui Heng in a panic, "I, I just feel that you are Mrs. He is an immortal figure with the ability to call wind and rain. He is definitely not afraid of these sects, and he is not afraid of being assassinated. That's why he has this strategy. If the county magistrate is unwilling, I will never mention this again. Please also ask the county Respect and forgive!"
"What are the sect families going to do to you, are they going to use force directly?" Cui Heng did not say whether he wanted to accept the position of the prefect of Lu County, but asked another question~IndoMTL.com~ It would be nice if it used force. . Liu Litao said with a bitter face, "Your Majesty, you don't know, these sects and big families are not only people in the martial arts, but also the rich and powerful, who control the lifeline of the people in one county or even several counties.
"For example, the Taichong faction has been established for hundreds of years, and has been deeply involved in the grain business industry for hundreds of years. At the beginning of the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty, for the sake of stability, the Taichong faction was given some water transportation rights in Fengzhou.
"To this day, the Taichong faction in Fengzhou's grain operation can be said to be turning their hands into clouds and turning their hands into rain, and it is possible to cut off the food in Lu Juncheng with a single order.
"There is also Tianjianmen, which is also a great sect that has been passed down for hundreds of years. If its main business is ore and coal, if it makes his family unhappy, it will make the people have no charcoal to burn in winter, and it must be a disaster by soldiers. All around.
"And that sapphire sect... He's family in Pingchuan..."
With Liu Litao's description, Cui Heng's face became more and more strange. Co-authoring the economic lifeline of the Jin Dynasty, people's livelihood and all industries were controlled by various big families early.
It is outrageous that such a ghost country can last for two hundred years.
"One more thing, I'm going to tell you to Xianzun." Liu Litao seemed to think that he had said so much anyway, so he simply went out of his way, "I guess I can't hide the fact that I left Lu Juncheng from these sects and families.
"Most of them would have guessed that I wanted to give up the position of the prefect. In order to give the new prefect the power, most of these sects and families have already begun to restrict the people's livelihood in Lujun City.
"If you take over the position of the prefect of Lu County, then you will probably face the people in a city who have been oppressed by these sects and families, whose livelihood is embarrassed, and the people are revolting against the sky."
"Oh?" Cui Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.
Is there such a good thing?
