After the wanderer returned to his hometown and became the lieutenant of Anlu County, Heifu had no time to do anything else, so he had two feasts first.

The first meal was invited to him by the county magistrate and the county magistrate of Anlu, which was a public banquet and was held in the county magistrate's mansion. There are only the "Big Three" of Anlu, the county commander Yonghe sits as chairman, Heifu and the county Cheng are on the left and right, and the right is the upper seat. After Heifu entered the door, he looked like a junior, saying that the county was older than him and higher than his position, so he asked him to be on the right.

Speaking of which, the counties and counties of the Qin State are different in this regard, the county is the county guard as the chief, the county lieutenant is second, and the county is only 600 stone officials, which is far from the rank of the guard and lieutenant, but in the county, the county is slightly higher than the county lieutenant......

The officials and maids carried the food boxes and fish into the room, and the food for the three of them was distributed, and the female musicians of the county order also played the piano and played the sheng, singing and dancing lightly.

Heifu is no longer the uninformed household wanderer more than a year ago, he has been a magistrate in the county, and has participated in a lot of various "high society" occasions, and even drank and feasted in the county guard's mansion, and now he can learn to behave politely and speak quite decently, so that the county commander and the county official have changed their inherent impression of his "martial artist".

The Qin State is a typical "only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps", and the people are strictly forbidden to drink in groups, but when your title level reaches a certain level, drinking alcohol is as common as drinking water, provided that you are rich enough, because the price of wine in Qin is still very expensive.

In addition to eating and drinking, the three of them were also gossiping, nothing more than the county magistrate and the county Cheng praised Heifu's young man's promising, it was they who had been officials for more than ten years, and they had seen that he was a sharp awl, and as soon as he entered the county lieutenant's bag, he stood out!

When this routine feast was about to end, the county commander Yonghe took Heifu and the county Cheng to the courtyard, clapped his palms, and someone drove a carriage and horse to the spacious courtyard......

"But all the commanders, chiefs, chengs, and lieutenants all have special cars, which are supplied by the stable, so I asked people to pick a new car, and the county lieutenant can take a look, are you still satisfied?"

"Thank you for the prefectural order!"

It's just a little thing for the stablekeeper to do, so why arrange it yourself? How could Heifu not know that this was the county order courting him? Hurriedly thanked him.

However, he found that this car was a little different, he had seen the county guard is a horse carriage, and his previous car was a two-horse carriage, but he had never seen a three-horse carriage, black, red and yellow, three horses, huddled together in this strange way......

Seeing Heifu's puzzled face, the county commander Yonghe took the opportunity to stroke his beard and smiled: ""Xiaorong" has a saying, four peons and holes, and six bridles in hand. Qi is the middle, and the horse is the horse...... The car driven by these three horses is like Anlu County! And the three of us are like these three horses! ”

He pointed to the red horse in the middle: "The county order, the big one is six hundred stones, and the small one is four hundred stones." They are all in charge of governing the people, showing good and persuading righteousness, prohibiting adultery and punishing evil, litiating lawsuits and thieves, caring for the people's current affairs, collecting classes in autumn and winter, and counting in the county to which they belong. The county order is the chief of the county officials, so the service horse in the middle is like my ......"

Then he clicked on the black and yellow horses.

"Sign the paperwork, and know the prison. Captain master thief, where there is a thief, the name of the master is not established, then push and search, the case is investigated, in order to start the clue, in addition to the thief, but also to be in charge of the army. These two horses on the left and right are like two gentlemen! ”

Yonghe has a little ink in his stomach, and he borrowed the metaphor of "Qin Feng" to say it very well, and it is not conventional, so that Heifu has a deep impression of him, this county order is not simple!

As he said, the power structure at the county level in Qinguo is indeed like a three-horse driving wheel, with county commanders, captains, and lieutenants, and their functions and powers seem to be separated, but there are also many intersections.

Yonghe said earnestly: "The car needs the cooperation of the three horses to drive steadily, if a horse wants to go forward, a horse wants to be behind, and a horse wants to left, then the car will be difficult to move an inch, and even fall into the ravine." Although the car of Anlu is not big, it also carries hundreds of miles of land, tens of thousands of people, two gentlemen, and we also need sincere cooperation! ”

Speaking of this, Yong He's meaning was clear, he hoped that Heifu could keep pace with them.

Heifu's goal is to train soldiers, and he also needs the assistance of Ling and Cheng, so he immediately surrendered his hand and said: "Heifu is from a humble background, and he is a junior, and in the future, he will need more guidance from the county order and the county Cheng!" ”

Heifu expressed his attitude, the county magistrate and the county magistrate couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, they were afraid that Heifu was too young, he liked to come to Hulai, relying on the county's backers, so he was maverick in the county, seeing that he was so calm and deeply embedded in the way of officialdom, he put his mind at ease, and the banquet became cheerful again.

But during the dinner, Heifu was also pondering an interesting question.

"If the county government is like a car and the county officials are like horses, then who is the one who holds the six rings in his hands and controls its direction?"

The county guard? King Qin? Or Qin Law itself?

……

After getting rid of his boss and colleagues, he had to gather his subordinates who had been separated for half a year under his command again, so the next day, Heifu also held a banquet in his county governor's mansion, inviting all his old departments, in addition to his younger brother Jing, there were also Lixian, Xiaotao, Dongmen Leopard, and Ji Ying.

Today's people are all their own people, and there is no need to be polite, so they sit in a pile, and everyone has not seen each other for a long time, happily saying goodbye, and passing the official seal of Heifu at the table......

Heifu is now "more than four hundred stones", and his seal has been changed from a hundred stone blue and blue ribbons to yellow ribbons, and everyone is as careful as holding pearls and jade, and they are envious.

This is the awe and envy of power, but everyone also feels that there is a share of their hard work in this official seal. So under the influence of alcohol, everyone began to show what they had done in front of Heifu, consciously or unconsciously.

"It's not been easy in the past six months."

Although Ji Ying is still thin, he is newly married Yan'er, and his life is good, his face is gradually full and ruddy, and he began to tell that in the past six months, he took advantage of the opportunity of being a township postman to quietly open the private messages of many Yun children in official documents, and found out a lot of black material of Yun children.

Heifu smiled: "I remember that when I was in Huyang Pavilion, I almost opened an anonymous submission. ”

Everyone burst out laughing.

"I'm not who I was anymore."

Ji Ying likes to brag, and hurriedly said: "Now that I can open the letter and restore it again, others can't see the extent of the flaws!" ”

After observing the ink on it, he carved one on the spot with a radish, and then skillfully unwrapped the rope of the letter, and after checking the contents of it, it was restored again, and the newly made red ink on the rope could be fake, and the younger brother of Heifu was stunned......

"You're just a little trick."

Dongmen Leopard looked disdainful: "Yunman has a few manors in the northern suburbs, there are dozens of guests, after the pavilion chief arrested Yunman, those guests tried to make trouble, I took the township pavilion guards, the local people, and the county soldiers led by Xiao Tao to surround the manor, and after a fight, the chaos was calmed down...... Xiao Tao, you have something to say! ”

Xiao Tao still didn't say much, and only finally stammered: "...... If you want to talk about the most efforts, it's ...... Count Leejun. ”

There was no objection to this, and when Heifu was away, it was Lixian who was responsible for coordinating them, uniting in order to bring down Yunman, and did not become a plate of loose sand, and in those days, it was Lixian who lured Yunman to the official temple and captured him.

So Hefu asked everyone present to salute a glass of wine together!

Li Xian smiled bitterly: "In that case, I also deceived the patriarch of the Li clan, and now I am very satisfied that I am not spurned by the clan, how dare I take credit?" ”

He saluted back to Heifu: "If the county lieutenant hadn't found out Yun Man's big crimes in the county, we wouldn't have been able to bring him down for those trivial crimes. Now that the pavilion chief has returned and won the position of county lieutenant, our plan for half a year has not been in vain. ”

"Not bad."

Dongmen Leopard also said: "From now on, the Anlu County Lieutenant's Office, that is, the county lieutenant has the final say, and our good days are finally coming!" I don't have to be as cautious as before in the future, for fear of being caught by the Yun family, right? ”

Ji Ying also encouraged: "When will the county lieutenant go to the county?" Just take us with you and put on a good show of majesty! ”

"I didn't come to Anlu to serve as a county lieutenant, but I didn't do it to rest and show off."

Heifu put down the cup and said solemnly: "This time I went to the post to train more than 1,000 children of An Lu into a strong team!" I'm afraid the second and third sons don't know yet, after the autumn harvest, the Qin State and the Chu State will go to war again! ”

Except for Lixian, everyone else was a little surprised, and looked at each other in the back.

"Another war?"

Only then did they react, and they arched their hands unevenly: "We will definitely try our best to assist the county lieutenant in training!" ”

In the midst of the harmony, Heifu sensitively noticed a hint of strangeness, that is, in the words and deeds of everyone, it seemed that they did not have the enthusiasm for the war in the past, but revealed a sense of triumph and satisfaction......

"It's only been half a year since you left the army, and these guys are starting to slack off?"

Heifu was a little hesitant, but then reacted again.

"It's normal to be content with the status quo!"

After all, it is just a group of people from the county and township, without a good education, and without too high knowledge, and when they left Anlu two years ago, everyone was poor and white, and most of them did not have titles, and everyone was promoted and made rich in the war. Now that Yun Man, an old enemy, has also been killed, they have fallen into a state of losing their goal, and they will even have the feeling that "this life is enough".

For the upcoming war, everyone is not very motivated, and yes, since they have everything, why should they risk their lives to fight? Even if they are not birds, they are at most the blue-headed wild ducks in the county and township, and it is impossible for Heifu to ask everyone to have the ambition of a bird!

His own relatives and confidants are like this, what else can they talk about training an elite army?

So after thinking for a while, Heifu suddenly smiled and said: "It's been a long time since I've talked with my second and third sons, it's rare to get together here, and I'm going to have a good time today!" ”

He got up and said: "Back then, we were born in the last few days, often suffering from cold and hunger, or rushing for a living, or begging to avoid dying in the ravine, now we are all Qin officials, and we have obtained the title, although the family wealth is not much, but it is enough for the wife to be rich, since there is no such livelihood disturbance, I want to hear it, your next plans and ambitions, everyone is here!" ”
