When Zheng Zheng came out of Liu Jing's residence, the sky was already dark. Xie Liang and others from the dynasty could not wait to go far before they could not wait to congratulate Zheng Zheng and said: "Congratulations to Mr. Yan on your promotion to the county magistrate."

Everyone was jealous. In the past, Zheng Zheng was just a frustrated jailer in the city prison, so he might not be much better than them.

As a result, he was also lucky. When he met Liu Jing, a bole, he first served as a food official, and then as a hundred-stone official. He rose step by step, and now he is about to ascend to the position of county magistrate.

The difference between cloud and mud.

"This matter has not been finalized yet, so please speak with caution." Although there was no joy on his serious face, his heart was filled with ups and downs. He decided to follow Liu Jing simply to repay his kindness. He hesitated for a long time. Facts have proved that,

His decision may be the most correct thing he has ever done in his life.

Xie Liang, Chao Chao and others all responded knowingly after hearing this. It is true that the matter has not yet been revealed, but it was Liu Jing who said this. As one of the most powerful people in Changsha, he has the right to do it.

Something that can’t be accomplished?

Xie Liang is the one who is most happy to see this result among all people, because once Zheng Zhen leaves, he has the best chance of taking the position of supervisor.

He has been working diligently in the city for more than ten years, and his biggest wish in his life is to become a Baishi Tujun. Now this wish is finally coming true.

…………

The next day, Zhang Xian, in the name of Changsha's prefect, appointed Liu Jingshou, the chief registrar, to be the county magistrate.

What is "Shou"? "Book of Han·Biography of Wang Mang" records: "Those who are in vacancy in the county will be guarded for several years, and concurrently." If you do not worship the official, the authority will be guarded, concurrently. In layman's terms, "Shou" means to be appointed by the state department.

, the county government was in a hurry and had no time to ask the court for instructions, so the county magistrate was temporarily appointed.

Generally, those who serve as "guardian" county magistrates are people with public status, such as state officials, county officials, and county officials. Of course, there are also civilians who rise to the top in one step, but this is a very rare case.

"Those who are trial guardians will be considered true if they are trial guardians for one year, and their full salary will be paid." If the county magistrate is personally appointed by the imperial court as a "guardian", if there are no mistakes within the one-year guardianship period, he can be converted into a "true" magistrate.

However, for a county magistrate like Liu Jing who is privately guarded by the county government, and at a time when the world is in turmoil, and the roads are blocked, it is not surprising that he has not become a regular official for several years, or even has no chance to become a regular official in his life.

Zhang Xian did not have a favorite candidate for the chief clerk at the moment, so he followed the past practice and asked the chief clerk to take over the position of chief clerk, and promoted someone from the clerk in the chief clerk's office to be the new chief clerk.

After Liu Jing and his successor completed the handover, they came to sit down and bid farewell to Zhang Xian.

In fact, due to various reasons, Liu Jing can only be regarded as an average person in the position of chief bookkeeper. He has neither made any mistakes nor shown any superhuman talents.

However, Zhang Xian was still very reluctant to leave him. He held his hand and talked for a long time, and even walked him outside the toilet door.

When they finally parted, Zhang Xian said: "By the way, Zhongda, do you know Chu Fang and Chu Ziping in Ling County?"

"Of course I know. Who in Changsha doesn't know Chu Ziping's name?" Liu Jing nodded and replied. As Zhang Xian's chief clerk, he was equivalent to his chief steward. At the end of the year, Zhang Xian presented a large number of valuable gifts to Chu Fang. This matter

It was Liu Jing who handled it. According to people in the chief register office, since Zhang Xian became the governor of Changsha, he has given Chu Fang generous gifts every year without interruption.

To be so valued by Zhang Xian, Chu Fang is an extraordinary person. He is a legend in Changsha. When he was a young ranger, although he was poor and humble, he was heroic. The Changsha rangers were all proud to know him. At that time, he was as famous as Wu Ju. Liu

Compared with him, Zong and Ou Xiong can only be regarded as rising stars.

If Changsha had not undergone major changes, Chu Fang might have been able to remain a ranger for the rest of his life. The turning point came during the Ou Xing Rebellion.

Chu Fang felt that Ou Xing was causing trouble to his hometown, so he relied on his prestige to recruit five or six hundred knights and Jingman men, and went north to help Sun Jian, the new governor of Changsha, in his crusade against Ou Xing. Chu Fang always fought with the champion at the front.

After that, he followed Sun Jian south to Lingling and Guiyang to attack the Zhou Dynasty and Guo Shi.

In the sixth year of Zhongping, Dong Zhuo sent his troops to Beijing. He was brutal and cruel, deposed the emperor, and all the righteous people in the world were indignant. The prefectures and counties in Guandong launched troops to attack Dong Zhuo one after another. Sun Jian, who was in Changsha, had great ambitions, and he responded to the call and led his troops northward.

Originally, Chu Fang should have followed him northward, but at this moment, his mother went up the mountain to pick vegetables. She accidentally fell from the mountain, broke her legs, was seriously injured, and was in critical condition for a time.

Chu Fang lost his father when he was young and was raised by his mother. He was a filial man and immediately asked Sun Jian to return home to take care of his mother.

Sun Jian was extremely reluctant to give up. However, filial piety is the most important principle in the world. If you prevent others from practicing filial piety, you will be shamed by the world. Although he has a free and easy personality, he does not dare to risk the disapproval of the world, so he can only let him go.

After Chu Fang returned home, he placed a small bed next to his mother's bed. No matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, he never dared to leave the hospital bed for even half a step. He served his mother with all his heart until his mother died five years later. Later, he buried her and

A bamboo hut was built next to his mother's tomb to keep him filial piety.

It has been eight years since Sun Jian left Changsha. From his early twenties to his establishment in 1999, these were the most precious eight years in Chu Fang's life. He should have been on the battlefield and established a reputation, but for the sake of his mother, he

Spending time between the sick room and the tomb...

Is it worth it?

Liu Jing could not comment, but he could only admire Chu Fang.

Zhang Xian said to Liu Jing: "Chu Ziping's three-year period of filial piety is about to end. After you arrive in Ling County, go to his home for me and test his mind to see if he is willing to serve as an official."

"No." Liu Jing replied. To be honest, not only did Zhang Xian want to take a powerful general like Chu Fang under his command, he was also quite tempted. As the saying goes, it is easy to get an army, but it is hard to find a general. Liu Jing would not do it anyway.

If you want to give it a try, you won't hesitate to take food from Zhang Xian's tiger's mouth.

Liu Jing said goodbye to Zhang Xian and returned to the official's house. He saw several carts parked outside the courtyard. All the items in the house had been loaded into the carts. They were just waiting for his order to set off.

In the drizzle, Liu Jing, wearing high hats and leather shoes, wandered in the courtyard of the official residence for a long time. He lived here for almost twenty months. During these twenty months, after his painstaking planning, he changed from a food-fighting official to an official.

Becoming a Bailihou finally had a piece of territory of his own in this troubled world.

However, compared with Cao, Liu, and Sun, he was far behind. However, the temporary lead was nothing. Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu were all in the lead, but they were all defeated in the end. He still had time.

Later he caught up with Cao, Liu and Sun.

By the time……

Let’s see who controls the world in today’s world.
