"Liu County, don't be in a hurry, this big change is a good thing for you!"

Song Lian smiled and said: "Quanzhou has jurisdiction over counties such as Longxi, Jin~Jiang, Nan'an, Qingyuan, Putian, etc., only Qingyuan and Putian counties are the two counties with the smallest county border and the least household registration. For this matter, when we assassinated Lord Shi Feng last time he entered Beijing, he was also counted down by Lou Xiangye. ”

Lou Xiangye in Song Lian's mouth, several people here are no strangers, and even Cui Geng has heard of his name.

He is one of the prime ministers of the current political affairs hall prime minister's team - Lou Shide.

To say that this Lou Shide is definitely a big celebrity from the Gaozong Dynasty to the present, Lou Shide was born as a Jinshi when he was young, and he moved from Jiangdu County Lieutenant to supervise the imperial history. Later, he was recruited into the army as a civilian official, conquered Tibet in the west, made many military exploits, and was appointed as the palace servant of the imperial history and the Sima of the Heyuan Army, presiding over Tuntian. Later, he was promoted to the rank of general of Zuo Jinwu and the governor of Fengzhou.

Today's Quanzhou Mansion is composed of several counties divided from Fengzhou.

After serving as the governor of Fengzhou for more than ten years, Lou Shide was recalled to the court the year before last, served as a waiter in the criminal department, and entered the prime minister's team. Last year, he was promoted from the waiter of the Criminal Department to the secretary of the Criminal Department. This year, Lou Shide has just passed his 60th birthday!

In recent years, Lou Shide's promotion speed is absolutely staggering, which shows that as he gets older, the more he has won the appreciation and trust of the martial queen.

Lou Shide first from the text, then from the military, and finally from the military to the literary, the end is the ability to write and be martial, is the Gaozong period to the Wuhou Linchao period of the famous general and the famous minister.

Now Feng Pu, the assassin of Quanzhou, was single-handedly picked up by Lou Shide when he was in the Fengzhou Governor's Mansion. Whenever Feng Pu entered Chang'an, he would go to Lou Mansion to visit Lou Shide as soon as possible.

……

Listening to Song Lian bluntly say that the development of Qingyuan County and Putian County in the past two years has been slow, Liu County Ling couldn't help but bow his hand and whispered: "The lower official is ashamed, and the Lord Assassin Shi has lost face in front of Lou Xiang!" ”

Liu County Commander has been working in Putian County for five years, so he is ashamed, and he is not wronged.

As for Chen Ziang and Cui Geng, the slow development of Qingyuan County really has nothing to do with them, both of them have been in office for less than half a year, and they are not the county orders in charge, so it is Hu Zeyi who is ashamed of them, and it has nothing to do with them.

However, Chen Ziang still arched his attitude and said: "The lower officials are also ashamed, and they will definitely make more efforts in the future!" ”

However, Cui Geng didn't have any consciousness at all, he looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and turned his head back and forth, just not wanting to carry this black pot for Hu Zeyi.

Song Lian waved his hand, brushed his beard and said with a smile: "This can't be all blamed on you, after all, the two counties are narrow and there are few people, this is an indisputable fact." But fortunately, this year, Qingyuan County produced a Mulan Spring Wine, and it became the royal tribute wine, which finally earned a lot of face for our Quanzhou in the imperial court. Speaking of this Mulan spring wine, Feng Tingshi also specially invited the official at home a few days ago, it is really a good wine, worthy of the name of imperial wine. County Lieutenant Cui, you have made a lot of contributions! ”

When Cui Geng heard this, Song Lian actually praised his Mulan spring wine, and couldn't help but get up and be modest, and said, "My lord praised it falsely." ”

"Haha, but the local famous product that Qingyuan County can get its hands on now is your Mulan Spring Wine. The state capital also pointed to your family's Mulan spring wine, attracting more foreign business travelers to Quanzhou. ”

After Song Lian finished boasting, he encouraged: "However, as far as this official knows, it seems that the output of Mulan Spring Wine can only meet the needs of the counties in Quanzhou Prefecture. This is not possible, it is necessary to increase production and sell more to export. In this way, the treasury of the state capital can be filled, right? When you go back, you have to urge your winery to expand and expand production. ”

Now Cui's Distillery has become the largest taxpayer in Qingyuan County, and now listening to Song Lian's meaning, it seems that Cui's Distillery will become a major taxpayer in Quanzhou Prefecture.

However, for the matter of paying taxes, Cui Geng does not have much resistance, the more taxes are paid, the greater the output, the better the sales.

Moreover, if Cui's Distillery can really become a large taxpayer like the Lin family in Quanzhou, on the contrary, it will also be a big help for Cui Geng in the officialdom of Quanzhou Mansion!

Immediately, he nodded and said, "Xia Guan knows, and he will definitely urge this matter when he goes back." ”

"Okay, then the official will start to get down to business."

Song Lian cleared his throat and slowly threw a bombshell: "The imperial court intends to let the two counties of Putian and Qingyuan join forces, and add the Zhichong Governor's Mansion to be placed here!" ”

Rumble!

Cui Geng and the three were shocked on the spot.

Especially Liu Xianling, after he couldn't help but exclaim, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he was excited.

The reason for the excitement is very simple, the merger of the two counties means that the new county after the merger, whether it is the size of the county or the number of household registrations, far surpasses several other counties, and has become the first county under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou Prefecture, and even the Wang County above the upper county.

This means that as long as he becomes the county magistrate of this new county, then he, who has been promoted from the sixth grade, can immediately become the sixth rank of the court. The difference between one and one is a world of difference, and some people have been unable to cross the step of changing from the sixth grade to the positive six grades for five or six years.

Liu Xianling himself is a living example.

If you can't do the sixth product locally, it means that if the term of office of the county order expires, even if you are transferred to the sixth department of Chang'an, you can only serve as a member of a certain department or something. Perhaps, if you are unlucky, you will continue to work in the place for a few more years, or even until you die.

So at the beginning, Hu Zeyi was selected as the imperial wine because of Mulan Spring Wine, and after Qingyuan County was promoted to Shang County, he was suddenly promoted to the sixth grade, but he Liu County Ling was envious, jealous and hateful, and he couldn't sleep all night.

At present, Qingyuan County has no county order, and there are only two adjutants, the county commander and the county lieutenant. And his own Putian county order is the best candidate for the new county order after the merger of the two counties.

Seeing that his long-cherished wish was so far away from him, how could Liu Xianling not be excited?

Moreover, if a new county can be added to the new county after the merger of the two counties, then this new county will definitely have the most important position, and the imperial court will definitely make big moves in the near future.

What is the Governor's Mansion for?

This is different from the militia establishment of the regimental training army, but it is subordinate to the Twelve Wei Mansion, in addition to the Gongwei place, it is also regularly transferred to Chang'an in turn, responsible for Gongwei Imperial Capital.

It is conceivable that the imperial court attaches more and more importance to Quanzhou Mansion, and this new county is about to enter the grand plan of the imperial court in the future.

In this new county, Liu County believes that his career will usher in spring!

Agitated!

Liu County Commander could not hide the excitement in his heart, so he almost stood up suddenly, raised his right arm and shouted: I, I, let me Liu someone be the county commander of this new county!

As for Cui Geng and Chen Ziang, they also had waves on their faces, but they couldn't be happy.

Obviously, today Song Changshi came to announce the news, and called the Putian Liu County Commander together, and he also said before that he would not send someone to serve as the Qingyuan County Commander in the future, which has already shown that the new county after the merger is elected, and the surname Liu is not far from ten!

For the two people who were born in Qingyuan County, it is not a good thing.

Especially Cui Geng, how long has it been since he arrived in Qingyuan County to serve as the lieutenant of this Jiupin County? It's only three months.

And the new county after the merger is definitely at the level of Wangxian County, and the county lieutenant is at least the eighth grade of the Shi Lang, how could the imperial court let a Ji Pin county lieutenant who has been working for a few months suddenly cross from the eight grades of Cheng Feng Lang to the eight grades of Shi Lang and be directly promoted to the eight grades of Shi Lang?

Moreover, there is also an old and senior county lieutenant He Xu in Putian County, who is a county lieutenant from a serious background, which is different from a halfway monk like him.

If you really want to choose a new county lieutenant among the two county lieutenants, Cui Geng believes that He Xu will definitely dump himself two streets.

So when the time comes, where do you go from here?

He looked at Chen Ziang, who was speechless, a little depressed, and then at Liu Xianling, who was full of excitement, and said secretly depressed, won't you just give my brother a stroke? That's too miserable, it's only been an official for a few months, right? I haven't even worn my official uniform for a day, so it won't be so decrepit, right?

Just when several people had their own concerns, Song Lian cleared his voice again and said loudly: "The name of the new county after the merger of the two counties will not be discussed for the time being. However, the new county has been set up by the imperial court above the upper county, Naiwang County, and the county government has assigned a county order, a county officer, a chief bookkeeper, a county lieutenant, three classes of officials, jailers, post guards and other miscellaneous servants, and the tentative number is one hundred and twenty! The seat of the county government is still located in the county seat of Putian, and the additional Zhichong Governor's Mansion is located in the county seat of Qingyuan. The people's livelihood and political affairs of the two counties are all under the management of the new county government office. The Ministry of Officials asked the government to submit a list of officials in the new county and county government, and Feng Tingshi, Zhang Beijia and his own official sent someone to send the list to Chang'an two days ago! Ahem... This official will announce the list of new county officials who have been submitted to the Ministry of Officials. ”

"The new county order, the state government recommended the original Putian county order Liu Youqiu!"

Poof!

Liu Youqiu finally knelt excitedly, and he really lost his temper to the extreme.

"The new county and county, the state government recommended the former Qingyuan county and county Cheng Chen Ziang! And recommended the former Putian County Cheng Tao Wenyuan as the new county bookkeeper! ”

Chen Ziang sighed lightly, but he was not excited, but he still bowed his hand to Song Lian and said: "Thank you Feng Tingshi and Song Changshi for their love for the lower officials!" ”

"As for the new county lieutenant—"

Song Lian glanced at Cui Geng.

At the same time, Cui Geng also stared at Song Lian without blinking, and said in his heart that he was not nervous, it was fake.

Song Lian said: "We recommend He Xu, the former governor of Putian County, to serve as the county lieutenant of the new county!" ”

Damn it!

Cui Geng's face collapsed when he heard this, and he scolded secretly, sure enough, he didn't have Lao Tzu's share, he really masturbated Lao Tzu!

Here, Song Lian continued: "The officials of the two county government offices will be screened by the new county government and retained as needed!" As for how the two counties will be merged, the state government will issue a charter within ten days, and the imperial court urges the merger of the two counties to be completed within a month! ”

At this time, Liu Youqiu, the commander of Putian County, had slowly calmed down from the excitement, arched his hand to Chen Ziang, and said with a smile: "Chen County Cheng, you and I will work together in a county government in the future, and this official will be indispensable for your help in the future!" ”

Chen Ziang had no friendship with Liu Youqiu, and after politely and humbly, he found that in this new appointment, Song Changshi forgot about Cui Geng.

After all, he and Cui Geng have been working together in the county government for some days, and in the fight against mountain bandits, the two have a tacit understanding, and they can be regarded as some friendship.

At this time, he looked at Cui Geng, who was stunned, and after sighing sympathetically, he asked Song Lian quite righteously: "Dare to be a master of Changshi, although the county lieutenant Cui has been in Qingyuan County for a short time, he is conscientious and conscientious. Especially in the matter of the mountain bandits' attack on the city, Lieutenant Cui is meritorious, and it is the first merit. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid that the people of Qingyuan County would have been looted and poisoned by mountain bandits. Therefore, the lower officials dared to ask, how did the state government place the county lieutenant Cui? ”

"Oh?"

Suddenly, Song Lian stroked his forehead lightly and smiled: "Look at the memory of this official, how can you forget the county lieutenant Cui!" Lieutenant Cui, there is another appointment! ”

Cui Geng raised his head sharply and asked, "Lord Changshi, what is the appointment?" ”

Song Lian said: "The newly established Zhichong Governor's Mansion, you will take the position of the governor of the Zhichong Governor's Mansion, and the official rank will be from the seventh grade!" ”

"Huh? What's going on... It's..."

Cui Geng's mouth opened wide in shock, and he didn't react for a long time.

The history of the governor of the Imperial Governor's Mansion? Official rank from the seventh grade?

Why didn't you pay attention, and in a sudden, you went from the county lieutenant of Jiupin to the seventh grade?

Not only Cui Geng was stunned, but Chen Ziang and Liu Youqiu were also extremely surprised!
