Realizing This Is A Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years - Chapter 61

[Chapter 61 Martial family, the rich man Jia]

In the reception hall of Juhe County Government Office.

Cui Heng was sitting on the chair, and Xu Fengan was standing behind him, like a follower.

Liu Litao brought Qian Cang here, glanced at Xu Fengan, and felt a little familiar, but did not remember where he had seen it.

After that, 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 random and sat down, took the initiative to open up the conversation, and smiled in admiration: “Cui County magistrate is young and promising. He has only been in office for a few days, so he managed this Juhe County in an orderly manner and the people lived in peace.”

“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 didn’t expect Cui Heng to speak so directly, and after a few coughs, he said, “Since the county magistrate Cui has said so, then I won’t give a shit.

“To be honest with Magistrate Cui, I occasionally felt a cold a while ago, and my body has been unwell, and it has become difficult for me to handle government affairs in the county.

“At this time, I just heard that the magistrate of Cui County 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 the magistrate of Cui County if you want to serve as the first prefect of Lu County. job.”

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 that 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 necessary to serve as county governors.

The recommendation letter listed above is the procedure to be followed for transferring the position of prefect.

In fact, the procedure for transferring the post of prefect was originally not simple.

According to the official system of the 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 county governor 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 inspection, 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.

Beginning a hundred years ago, the national power of Dajin has been deteriorating, and the control over the local area has become weaker and weaker. Gradually, it has developed into a new prefect who only needs to send the recommendation letter to the imperial city, and the new prefect can take office.

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.

Now that the world is in chaos, it is difficult for government orders 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-saving project.

Even the step of sending it to the imperial city was omitted.

Just set up an altar, burn the recommendation book on the table in the direction of the imperial city of Zhongzhou, and then pay a homage, even if the recommendation is completed.

The new county governor can immediately take office.

Void recommends belonging to yes.

Now Liu Litao has even prepared the recommendation book, which means that as long as he burns the recommendation book on the spot, and then bows in the direction of Zhongzhou, Cui Heng will become the 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 by himself, which surprised him.

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 and feeling unwell, unable to continue dealing with political affairs, and can only give up his position?”

If it was before, he would have nothing to do with the reason 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 this county magistrate is bound to win the position of prefect? Why are you asking so much?”

Qian Cang is also confused, why is this attitude different from what he showed before?

Have you made a mistake in “figuring out what you want”?

However, Liu Litao is a sharp-minded person after all.

After a short period of confusion, he realized that Cui Heng should know something, and turned to Qian Cang and said, “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 small gangster, he must have the self-consciousness of a small gangster, and it is better not to get involved in too many affairs between the big men.

“It seems that the Prefect does have something to say.” Cui Heng smiled.

“Let 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 directly.”

“Xu Fengan! 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 exclaiming, his eyes widened and he looked at Xu Fengan in shock.

No wonder he felt familiar, it was him, and he 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 is still standing behind the magistrate Cui with the attitude of an entourage!

From this point of view, even if the rumors that call for wind and rain are a little distorted, the county magistrate Cui is probably a real immortal figure.

Far above the top of the rivers and lakes.

Liu Litao is still skeptical about the news that the magistrate of Juhe was calling for wind and rain to destroy the 50,000 army in the 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 weren’t for the fact that the sects were pressing too hard, and the Fengzhou Mu Caoquan was assassinated first, he would definitely make a decision after further detailed investigation and confirmation.

But now seeing Xu Fengan standing behind Cui Heng respectfully like a follower, he believed the news about Cui Heng seven or eight points.

To be able to make the big man standing at the top of the rivers and lakes so respectful is enough to be regarded as a fairy-like figure.

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 at it, 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 the language, took a deep breath and said, “Since Elder Xu is also here, presumably, Xianzun, you already know what happened in a century.

“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 the state shepherd, and want to take a piece of the pie, and the master of Fengzhou shepherd Cao is probably killed because of this.

“Actually, before the Fengzhou Shepherd’s position was vacated, the foreign affairs deacons of the Taichong Sect, Tianjianmen, Pingchuan Hejia, Fashan Temple, Qingyuguan, and other sects all came to me, trying to push me for the position of Shangzhou 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 powers who won’t necessarily give up their fight 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…”

Having said that, he couldn’t go on, and he 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?”

“I don’t dare! I definitely don’t dare to think like that!” Liu Litao rolled down from his chair in panic, lying on the ground and explaining to Cui Heng in a panic, “I, I just think that you are like a fairy, Lord Xianzun. The character of this man has the ability to call the wind and call the rain, and he is definitely not afraid of these sects, and he is not afraid of being assassinated. That’s why this is the only way. If the county magistrate is unwilling, I will never mention this again. I also ask the magistrate to forgive my sins. !”

“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.

“It would be good if you 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 lifeblood of the people in one county or even several counties. .

“For example, the Taichong faction has been established for hundreds of years, and it has been deeply cultivated in the grain business industry for hundreds of years. At the beginning of the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty, in order to stabilize the country, 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 then there will be wars everywhere.

“And that sapphire sect… the He family of Pingchuan…”

With Liu Litao’s description, Cui Heng’s face became more and more strange, cooperating with the economic lifeline of the Jin Dynasty, the people’s livelihood and business were controlled by various big families early.

This kind of ghost country can last two hundred years, which is outrageous.

“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 gave it up, “I probably won’t be able to 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 Mawei to the new prefect, 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 sky is full of backlash.”

“Oh?” Cui Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Is there such a good thing?
