Chapter 146 Unexpected Official

The political system of the Tang Dynasty was relatively relaxed, and there was no need to kneel unless there was a special period. Even if it is to receive an order, it only needs to be serious.

An Xing was born as a minister and was very familiar with the system of holy decrees. The holy decree shows the imperial power, the most sloppy, the texture of the shaft handle according to the official grade of the decree have a strict difference, the first grade official is the jade shaft, the second grade official is the black rhinoceros horn shaft, and the gold shaft holy decree is used by the four officials.

Look at the unfolding of the holy decree, weaving cloth for Shu brocade, and the golden dragon on both sides, it is indeed a holy decree that will only be used by second-grade officials.

"The Tang Emperor said: Shaanxi East Road Xingtai Shangshu right servant shot, Shaanxi East Road Xingma Soldiers and Horses Deputy Marshal, East Palace Prince Guest, Champion General Chen Ying led the troops to the East, since the meritorious service, special advancement, rule the book to serve the imperial history, pacify Henan, in order to encourage the ......"

This recital is written very straightforwardly, without the rhetoric of flowers. However, Chen Ying was still confused, what was going on? Why did he have another officer.

Governing the history of the Emperor and serving the Emperor. Qin Zhi, also known as the imperial history of the book, the history of the book and the imperial history, referred to as the imperial history, the imperial service. Or it is said that Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty served the imperial history of the two people to govern the book (management of the book documents), so it has its name. In the period of Li Zhi of Tang Gaozong, because of the avoidance of Li Zhi's governance, the official name was changed to Yushi Zhongcheng, and he was the deputy official of Yushitai.

Although this was a small official from the five small in the Tang Dynasty, it was humble and powerful. Chen Ying is now the right servant of the Shangshu of Shaanxi East Road, and the servant of the imperial history of the secretary to pacify Henan.

Many people think that the pacification envoy was an official position invented only in the Song Dynasty, but in fact this is wrong. In fact, in the early years of the Sui Dynasty, there was an ambassador to pacify and work part-time as the commander of the march. In the early Tang Dynasty, ministers were sent to inspect areas that had passed through wars or disasters, and were called pacification envoys. At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, he was a special envoy for the disasters and the use of troops. Later, he gradually became the prefect in charge of military affairs and public security, and served as the governor and the prefect. Generally, the most important governors of each country concurrently serve as pacification envoys, and if they are above the second grade, they are called "pacification ambassadors". The pacification envoy was in charge of the government of the soldiers and the people along the way, and had the right to "act cheaply", and in fact became the first governor of the road.

Chen Ying, the pacification envoy, naturally does not have the power of the Song Dynasty to pacify all the way, however, it is undeniable that Chen Ying has been a legendary feudal official since he received this holy decree. He is now the right servant of the Shangshu of the Eastern Shaanxi Province and the deputy marshal of the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Shaanxi Province to pacify Henan.

Of course, this Henan is not Henan Province in later generations, but refers to Henan County of Gaoli in the Sui Dynasty, which has jurisdiction over Henan, Luoyang, Ruxiang, Taolin, Shaanxi, Xiong'er, Mianchi, Xin'an, Yanshi, Gong, Yiyang, Shou'an, Luhun, Yique, Xingtai, Wushi, Songyang, Yangcheng and other eighteen counties.

The 274,000 people in the eighteen counties of Henan County have become the people under Chen Ying's rule.

Chen Ying thought about it slightly, and found something other than this holy decree. Henan County is Henan County, but it does not include Luoyang. In addition to the three counties of Shaanxi County, Taolin County, and Ruxiang County, the other fifteen counties are still under the control of Wang Shichong, and Chen Ying can fight and govern. However, for things outside the fifteen counties, Chen Ying should not use his brains.

Luoyang's piece of fat is reserved for Li Shimin, Chen Ying understands Li Yuan's approach, his son is his own good no matter what, and Li Shimin and Li Erlang are really good.

can get on the horse to manage the army and get off the horse to manage the people, Chen Ying also knows that this is the best treatment that Li Jiancheng can get for him at present.

However, this also shows that the wind direction of the imperial court has really changed.

"So, the direction of the wind has changed?" Chen Ying asked pretending to be ignorant.

An Xingpi said with a smile: "When we came out, Your Majesty praised General Chen, and I hope you will lead the left four of the East Palace to fight a more beautiful battle in Henan......"

Chen Ying also understood at this time, a beautiful battle is not a winning battle. Sometimes, losing a battle can be a beautiful battle. What Li Yuan really hopes is that Chen Ying can be like when he fought on the North Plateau of Hangu Road, understand the general situation, advance and retreat together, but there is a battle of will. Now I will give you an official position of governing the book and serving the imperial history, which means that Chen Ying can spray whoever is not in the court in the future. Even if it is Pei Lian, a big celebrity in the dynasty, he can be impeached on the table, as for whether Pei Lian is convicted, the key is to see Li Yuan's attitude.

Chen Ying was very happy, this official position was simply tailor-made for him, standing and talking without a backache, and talking cool words next to him was definitely his strength.

If Li Yuan knew that Chen Ying regarded the current deputy official of the Tang Dynasty and the future Imperial History Zhongcheng as a mouth cannon that stood and spoke without backache, it was estimated that Li Yuan would be so angry that he vomited blood.

In fact, Li Yuan's appointment is really not as unbearable as Chen Ying imagined. As an emperor, although he has selfishness, but the whole world is his, how can he be too careful? Yu Yanzhang, the guard of the left prison, gave Li Yuan a very important news, Chen Ying in Lingzhou, where birds don't, divided by two, founded eighteen towns, with more than 57,000 mouths, of course, the number is not too many, and the most important thing is that the eighteen towns of Lingwu are very rich.

Almost overnight, relying on opening a salt factory, mining iron ore, and coal mining, it is difficult to say other places in Lingzhou, but the eighteen towns of Lingwu have become more than two cattle in every household, and every household has enough clothes and surplus grain. Guo Zhun adopted Chen Ying's assembly line method in the tinplate workshop in Lingzhou City, and the production capacity has increased by nearly five times, and it can now produce more than 500 briquette furnaces per day. In particular, the briquette stove, which is the size of a bucket, is easy to carry and can be used for heating, cooking, and boiling water.

As the production of this tinplate increased, briquette stoves became more sought-after. A briquette stove can be used for the living needs of a family of five, the key is the bitter cold outside, in the cold winter, the tent is still as cold as an ice cellar, a briquette stove is put in, connected to the exhaust chimney, the whole tent immediately becomes warm like spring.

What's even more rare is that briquettes make fires, which are too clean compared to cow dung and horse manure, and the price of a briquette stove and a sheep is definitely cheaper.

Chen Ying actually didn't know that this kind of broken thing on the street in the later generations would be exchanged for an extra sheep, and if the businessmen of later generations dared to sell a briquette stove to the price of a sheep, it was estimated that they would be scolded to death. But relying on this briquette stove, only in winter, Lingwu Eighteen Towns completed the transformation from poverty to well-off.

Li Yuan found that the changes in Lingzhou were not limited to this, and there was also a large amount of steel output, which Li Daozhen could distinguish between the importance and the weight, and would rather sell it to the imperial court cheaply than to the Turks, and sold it to the imperial court at a price almost half lower than the market price, Li Yuan was also very happy.

When he learned that the changes in Lingzhou were caused by Chen Ying, and outside Chang'an City, Chen Ying was building a large number of buildings, so Li Yuan thought about handing over the fertile land and relatively denser population of Henan County to Chen Ying to govern. As for the official position of governing the scrivener and serving the imperial history, this is to allow Chen Ying to have the power to play the center directly, and he can also manage the county orders and county magistrates who do not obey the orders of the following counties.

Chen Ying actually didn't expect that he would get such an official position, which could be regarded as an unexpected joy.

Chen Ying believes that when the water is clear, there are no fish. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Ying asked people to send 100 taels of gold to Wen Zhengming and An Xing, of course, no matter how much they estimated, they would not dare to accept it. A thousand times to say more than a lot, less to say a lot is not too much, just right.

"Yang Langzhong and An Guan Junrong have come from afar to work hard, come to drink a cup of tea to warm up." Chen Ying smiled slightly, and said to the soldiers outside the tent: "Make two bowls of soil tea I brought from the peach forest." ”

Drinking tea has almost become a code for Chen Ying when giving gifts.

Especially An Xing, when he heard that Chen Ying asked people to serve tea, his eyes immediately flashed with green light. He had long heard Chen Qi, a regular servant, say that Chen Ying is a very good friend, as long as he treats him as a friend, he will never treat his friends badly. An Xing naturally understood that Chen Qi was telling him vaguely that Chen Ying had a good relationship with him, and he could get benefits if he knew each other, but if he didn't know each other, he hummed.

One pound in the Tang Dynasty was equivalent to 800 grams in later generations. One hundred taels is about five kilograms in the Hereafter, and Mo is about ten pounds. Don't think that ten catties of gold have a lot of volume, the density of gold is nineteen.three, that is to say, nineteen.three times the water. The volume of ten catties of yellow catties is about the same as the appearance of two hundred and fifty-nine milliliters of water.

It is roughly equivalent to a small carton of milk in later generations.

Wen Zhengming didn't understand, he thought it was really water, and he almost took it off with one hand. Wen Zhengming opened the lid of the tea bowl and found that there was an ingot of gold inside, and looked at Chen Ying suspiciously: "General Chen, what do you mean by this?" ”

An Xing made a "sigh" and put the gold into his sleeve, and when he saw his action, he knew that he was familiar with the road.

Chen Ying laughed and said, "It's nothing, that's what it means!" ”

Wen Zhengming said: "The lower officials don't understand what General Chen means!" ”

Chen Yingdao: "A little meaning, meaning meaning!" ”

Wen Zhengming said: "How embarrassing is this! ”

The breadth and profundity of the Chinese language, at this moment, Ashina Simo is completely convinced. His Chinese was originally good, at least he could understand the dialogue effortlessly, and he could even drag two idioms, but when he heard Chen Ying and Wen Zhengming come and go, he was stunned all of a sudden.

An Xing watched the two of them excuse each other, and couldn't help but touch his nose and said: "Wen Langzhong, I don't think you should refuse General Chen's good intentions, anyway, it's just a cup of tea, it doesn't matter!" ”

If Wen Zhengming didn't accept it, then he wouldn't dare to accept it. But An Xing is different from Wen Zhengming, he finally got a chance to go out, this was originally an opportunity to make money, one hundred taels of gold, one thousand yuan, this is his fortune in the Yellow Palace for more than 20 years, if Wen Zhengming dares to stir up Huang for him, he vows that Wen Zhengming must look good.

Wen Zhengming wanted to excuse himself again, but when he saw An Xing's murderous gaze, he just pushed the boat along the water.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, offending An Xing, and not having a good life for him.

Seeing that the two accepted their bribes, Chen Ying was not happy. After all, China is a humane society, everything can be tightened or loosened, and if you follow the rules and regulations, then you don't have to do anything. Chen Ying ordered the three armies to be rewarded, and the next day officially attacked Hangu Pass.
