Chapter 150 You will have to pay it back sooner or later

The world was so chaotic that thieves were everywhere, and the imperial edicts from the court and local governments had to be sent to serve, and the supervision of local officials was much relaxed. The deputy general manager of Jizhou was a barely corpse, and even Li Yan's "big rebellion" was not noticed under his nose, let alone corruption and other small evils.

Wu Lun was thinking about taking the lead in embezzling public funds from the county government to support his subordinates. When he walked past the courtyard, he heard a quarrel sounding at the gate of the county government.

"You kid, this is the county government, the place where Dayin and Cao Zheng tried their subordinates. Go and play somewhere else!"

Later, there was another burst of laughter: "What, are you here to recruit subordinates?"

Could it be that there is a child prodigy?

Wu Lun glanced at the gate of the mansion, and saw a short man placing his feet under the tall figure of the county soldiers, a short man argued with them. He was less than five feet tall, but his voice was a low roaring from an adult: "I am twenty-eight this year, you are just a child!"

The person at the door looked carefully and laughed: "So it's just a waste."

The meaning of the disabled is to have a disability. Every county has a ban on the ban and is exempted from military service taxes. In order to enjoy this benefit, some people even sharpen their minds and become naturalized...

Wu Lun also saw the man clearly. As expected, his face was full of beard, and it turned out to be a dwarf.

Some people who came to apply for the recruitment also ridiculed his height and drove him away, "We don't recruit 'subjects' here, you should leave quickly, so as not to insult him."

The dwarf shouted unconvincedly: "The emperor of the wise man said he was not considering his background. Can't he come if he is not good-looking?"

"Don't look down on Yingyou. In ancient times, Chu had Youmeng and Qin had Youzhan. Those who were short and wise and dared to give advice. Unlike some people, they seemed tall but not as smart as those of the middle-aged people!"

This little guy was sharp-tongued, but he was a map shot, which made everyone at the door furious. The fifth reunion rushed to ask someone to stop them from making noise and let the dwarf come in.

When the dwarf came to the hall, he saw that his legs were thick and short, his head was out of proportion, his forehead was protruding, his eyes were small, and his chin had a thick beard, and his appearance was very ugly. He wore a child's clothes, walked his short legs and crossed the threshold hard, bowing to the fifth reunion.

"The villain Huang Chang, whose courtesy name is Menggao, pays homage to the county lord!"

This name is completely opposite to his appearance. The five officials in the hall covered their mouths and laughed. The servant Ma Yuan couldn't help laughing, but the fifth reunion was very solemn: "Where is sir?"

Huang Chang also observed the appearance of the fifth reunion. If he showed disdain and contempt, he might have to turn his head and leave. Seeing that the fifth reunion was dignified, he said, "The villain comes from Neihuang County."

Neihuang County was once the place where Xiang Yu crossed the Yellow River and burned his boats. The river broke twice in the past two hundred years, and Neihuang also changed its route from the riverside to Hebei.

Many poor local scholars can only use local dialects or awkward elegant language when they talk to the fifth reunion. However, this yellow long is interesting and a genuine Chang'an sound, which makes the fifth reunion more curious about him.

Ma Yuan said: "Since you are proposing yourself, then sir, what are your skills?"

He deliberately used a small word, and Huang Chang didn't take it seriously and said, "First, I was lucky when I was born."

If I was born as a dwarf and had no health, how could I have good luck? Huang Chang said with a sarcasm: "If I were born in a family of civilian tenant farmers, I would be afraid that I would be drowned in a ravine when I was born. Fortunately, I was born in a wealthy family in the village and was still the eldest son of a villain. My parents couldn't bear to abandon it, so I would have raised it."

"So since I was young, I did not have to worry about food and clothing, nor did I have to be sold to the city to promote excellence, and to sell art to please the palaces of the princes."

Indeed, after the fifth reunion came to this era, he also attended aristocratic banquets. As actors, dwarfs are "pets who can play with each other". They often appear in pairs, rap and play acrobatics at banquets.

Huang Chang said that his luck was that he could have servants to serve him and read a lot of books in a vegetarian manner.

Huang Chang was fluent in his speech and had reached the standard of the fifth ethics. He asked: "What scriptures have been passed down by his husband? Who are the teachers and teachers? What books have they read?"

Huang Changdao: "There is no scripture in the family, and no teacher is willing to introduce me to it. Everything I learn is self-study. You can read whatever books you find."

"Therefore, a villain learned to read the chapters at the age of ten, and in the third winter, the literature and history are fully used. He studied the Analects of Confucius and the Book of Filial Piety to understand the principles of dealing with people in the world. He learned poetry and books for fifteen, and recited 200,000 words. After getting married at the age of nineteen, he began to come into contact with poetry and verses, especially Ziyun Weng's articles."

The fifth relationship did not have too many surprises. Yang Xiong's works were not widely spread in Hebei. He guessed that Huang Chang was a smart person and had prepared according to the preferences of the examiner. However, from the time he issued the order to seek talent, it was only half a month before. Excluding the time from Neihuang to Yecheng, it was really not easy for Huang Chang to be so. Many of his competitors were purely naked.

The fifth reunification then asked: "My teacher has many articles and poems, which one do you like the most?"

Huang Chang didn't think so: "I love "Anti-Damnation" the most."

"Can you recite one or two sentences?"

"Of course!"

Huang Chang immediately said: "Now Zhongzhou left Donghai, right canal search, front Panyu, back pepper coating, southeast one marquis, northwest one marquis. Hui used to combine ink, made of turtles, scattered with rituals and music, wind used poetry and books, long years, and built to lean against the hut. The people in the world, thunder and clouds were merging, fish scales were mixed, and salted camped in the eight districts."

Interestingly, the beginning sentence is clearly "The Great Han Dynasty Zuo Donghai". Huang Chang chose a lot, but he insisted on memorizing this sentence, and deliberately changed it, showing his political sensitivity to the fifth relationship.

The fifth reunion likes to use smart people to do things, even if it is a little tricky, it is fine: "In the explanation of ridicule, my teacher advises people not to be obsessed with fame and fortune, why are you willing to recruit subordinates?"

Huang Chang blew up his fifth reunion: "The county monarch entered the city with a pseudonym and rebelled against people's hearts with chaos. He was very wise and brave. Huang Chang was the king's heart and was willing to be the assistant."

"Second... Mr. Ziyun also said in his article that Mr. Lin won his merits at Zhangtai, the four heroes were honored in Nanshan, Gongsun started his business in the Golden Horse, the cavalry made his fortune in Qilian, and Dongfang Shuo cut off the scorch of Xiaojun... It is a serious sin for people to be wise but unable to use it. Although Huang Chang was a traitor, my heart was as long as nine feet and three inches long as Dongfang Shuo."

From this small body that is less than five feet long, you can indeed see some wisdom power. When talking about this, the fifth reunion also remembers that his teacher Yang Xiong was also a subordinate of the Grand Marshal General Wang Yin when he first took office.

At this time, Ma Yuan came over and started to whisper with Di Wu Lun.

"I don't like this person."

Wu Lun glanced at his father-in-law and was strange. Then why did you like me just by chance?

What's more, just subordinate officials have time to check promotions.

Deputy examiner Ma Yuan made another gesture to the fifth reunion. This was agreed upon by the two. He meant that Huang Chang would be a disciple with several quotas, and the subordinates would just follow him. If his position was too high, others would probably not accept it.

But after thinking about it, I felt that Huang Chang was indeed the person he was most satisfied with in this interview, a good horse with clever minds, and outsiders judged people by their appearance and regarded him as a bad horse.

If you use it, you can do things, while others think that you are eager to seek talent and use it. Wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?

So the fifth reunion was determined and said, "The ancients said that he judged people by his appearance, and lost his son Yu. As expected, Mr. is very talented, and there is still a vacant posthumous scholar. Can Mr. be willing to take responsibility?"

Huang Chang was a little disappointed when he failed to become a more important disciple and worked hard. However, the disciple's assistant's secretary's writing of documents was slightly higher than that of other minor officials with multiple members. He was able to stay with the county magistrate, contact important documents, and even participate in resolutions. It was good. Huang Chang believed that with his own abilities, he would definitely stand out.

Huang Chang then bowed and said, "I would like to be the monarch of the county lord!"

Chunyu Kun is a son-in-law from Qi. He is less than seven feet tall and is funny and argues. He often makes the princes, but he never feels humiliated. He is also an idol of short men.

After Huang Chang left, Ma Yuan looked at the list of positions that had not been decided yet: "Cao and the disciples' priests, who would Bo Yu ask to do?"

You can tell from the name of the disciple Gongcao that it is the key to the transfer between the subordinates of the county government and Gongcao officers, and it can even be replaced at critical moments. The fifth reunion intends to use a trustworthy person.

The disciples' sacrificial wine is to go on a sacrifice for the county magistrate, acting as a signboard and advertisement for the new government.

Wu Ren thought for a while and said, "You must use a respected elder, even if he is mediocre, it doesn't matter. The key is to have a good-looking face!"

So he selected the older and best-looking candidates to act as the candidate.

Alas, after all, no matter which era, it depends on your face.

Since today, after hearing that Huang Huang has been appointed, more people have come to Yecheng to recruit subordinate officials.

But the fifth reunion did not accept it, and only asked Ma Yuan to tell these latecomers: "The officials under the school are full this year. Everyone, come again next year!"

The fifth family members are indeed complete, with more than thirty people. Without exception, they are all local scholars who are literate. Most of them are from poor families - small landlords. They used to be neither high nor low, but now they are in full swing into the fifth family.

After a little training, the fifth reunion can insert them into the officials of each Cao to see if they can squeeze out a way among the officials who have been governed by Haoyou and the old officials for generations.

The person who took the initiative to invest has already been earned, and the next step is...

Wu Lun smiled and said, "It's time to treat you to dinner!"

...

Geng Chun and Ma Yuan are busy these days, the fifth reunion is not idle either. The main reason is to figure out which Wei Jun Haoyou is, who is a potential friend, and who may become an enemy.

"The Ximen family mainly relies on the legacy of their ancestor, Doctor Ximen Bao, and is famous for being a good gentry, so they can win the hearts of the people. However, in terms of power and family, they are actually far inferior to the other families."

The fifth reunion was given to Ma Yuan, and Geng Chun listed the clans in the county.

"The strongest force is the Li family in Wu'an County."

"Those who were the famous general of Zhao State, Li Mu, had the most powerful force. Li Neng served as the thief Cao in Yecheng. Half of the county soldiers were in control of his family. It is said that he would pass on military books from his family."

"And his brother Li Lu is an iron official in Wu'an and controls thousands of iron official slaves."

If the Ximen family is strong in people's hearts and money, then the Li family is the military responsibility in the county, and they marry Ximen, so they can control the county affairs and underestimate the county magistrate.

There are also many wealthy families, such as the Tang family of Chiqiu County, and the hometown of the Grand Tutor Tang Zun, the Hou Pinghua of the Grand Tutor, who did not remember this person, think about his crazy sending people to patrol on Chang'an Road and throwing mud and water when he saw men and women on the same road. This is a ruling faction in the court. Although Daxin may have been there for a few days, there is still no need to offend him rashly.

There is also the Xu family in Pingen County, which is one of the few marquises in Wei County. The family has a long history. Xu Guanghan, the father of Empress Xu Pingjun of Han Xuan, was named Marquis of Pingen. However, because Xu Guanghan was an old official in the Yeting Court, his title was inherited by his younger brother. He was once prominent and had two descendants. However, after Emperor Cheng of Han, Empress Xu, fell out of favor, the family was implicated and gradually fell into decline.

During the Han Dynasty in the new dynasty, Wang Zhengjun was pitying Xu Hou and allowed the Marquis State to continue to exist. Now the fifth generation of Pingen Hou Xu Jing is reigned.

"There are also Feng's family in Fanyang County. After Feng Yang, the prefect of Hongnong during the reign of Emperor Xuan of Han, Feng Yang had eight sons, all high-ranking officials with a salary of 2,000 shi. People from Zhao and Wei thought this was very honorable, so they called the Feng family "Feng Wanshi", which was also a famous family in the county."

None of these three families worked in the county. Tang or the family was disdainful, Xu was low-key and afraid, while Feng's family suddenly flourished and quickly fell into trouble.

Speaking of this, the fifth reunion stopped, which made Geng Chun a little strange.

"The famous "Three Zhao" in Wei, Boyu doesn't plan to invite him?"

The three Zhaos actually had surnames Liu, namely the Marquis of Hangou, namely the Marquis of Pei Hou and the Marquis of Hanhui. They were all descendants of the Prince of Zhao during the Wu and Xuan periods. They were also considered members of the Zhao family in the previous dynasty. Although they lost the throne of marquis, they were also powerful men in the county. They were just as the royal family of the Liu family, but they were unable to serve.

Wu Lun smiled and said, "I have my own concerns."

The ones he temporarily planned to "convene" were Tang, Xu and Feng families, who showed the attitude of "governing the county with scholars and officials" and made many of his friends.

The one I want to invite the fifth family is Feng.

"When I went north to Yecheng, I also passed by Fanyang County. I heard about the deeds of Feng Qin, the legitimate son of the Feng family. The county people said that he was smart since childhood and was proficient in arithmetic when he was eight years old. When he grew up, he was eight feet and three inches tall. He was a talented person. I want to eliminate him as a mastermind!"

When the dwarf Huang Chang heard this, he was afraid that he would cry. It turned out that the fifth man was also a guy who judged people by his appearance! In fact, the fifth man just needed a Cao Zheng who was good at arithmetic.

But a few days later, Ma Yuan, who went to Feng's family to eliminate Feng Qin, came back after being ordered by the Fifth Reun. He was full of joy and told the Fifth Reun about a news.

"Boyu."

"Feng Qin is indeed a talented person, with outstanding appearance, extraordinary conversation, and young, only over twenty years old."

Ma Yuan has always had a high vision, and he thinks it is good, so it must be good.

"For your expulsion, Feng Qin said..."

Ma Yuan coughed and cleared his throat, and said to the fifth reunion clearly: "Feng Qin said that he was grateful to the fifth reunion for his love, and was very frightened. However, he was still young and had little study. Those false reputations were all talked about by the villagers. Since he had not yet cultivated his body and had not yet been united, he did not even dare to do it. How could he rashly serve as a servant of Cao and help the county magistrate to govern the county? It would be better to hire another talent!"

The fifth reunion was stunned. Isn’t this the routine he used to politely reject Zhang Zhan Zhengpi? In the past, I quit people, but now I quit people?

Geng Chun, who was laborious and complained to the fifth ethics, and Ma Yuan, who was unwilling to escape for his son-in-law, laughed in a mess. They just said they wanted to resign. Unexpectedly, others did it, and they immediately gloated and said to the fifth ethics:
Chapter completed!
