Chapter 273 Big Name

The poor people in the Northern Han Dynasty went out hunting, but they didn't bring as many people as others who were wandering around. They deserved to be made dumplings.

The gentlemen of Dean had reason to celebrate.

Apart from Wen Rui being injured, there were no other casualties. Facing 20,000 cavalry, there couldn't be a better result.

Cheng Jinzhou hid himself aside with lingering fear and watched everyone cheering. The ancient but realistic cruel war, the long-distance killings and the deaths of thousands of people gave him an unreal feeling.

Liu Qingshuang came to Cheng Jinzhou wrapped in a thin red shawl outside her summer clothes. Seeing that he looked unfamiliar, she personally served him tea. Even on the battlefield, the strong smell of tea seemed to relax people.

The war drove the women away, but while it was happening, the women remained in the city. In that tense situation, Cheng Jinzhou only had time to send people from outside the city into the city.

Drinking the warm boiled water, Cheng Jinzhou, who had been running around all day and night, was also warmed up. He asked a rare greeting: "Are you okay?"

The tone was sincere and a little tired.

The feeling of using up all the star power is definitely not good.

Liu Qingshuang looked at Cheng Jinzhou with big eyes, a little strange, but more curious. She is like those eldest ladies from official families. When they are not married, they can play as much as they want and be willful. But once they get engaged, they must start to learn all kinds of etiquette and abide by all kinds of etiquette. For her fiancé, now Cheng Jinzhou, the feeling has become strange.

It seems that they should be close, but in fact they are distant. There is a subtle psychological emotion.

Neither of the two young people had ever experienced a similar situation. It was almost unrealistic to expect them to handle it perfectly.

Perhaps as a result of careful observation, Liu Qingshuang asked in a very thin voice: "Are you okay?"

"I've been listening to the shouts and shouts of men all day, but it's okay." Cheng Jinzhou seemed to suddenly become aware of his fiancée's beautiful voice. It's not the so-called silver bell-like voice, nor is it sexy hoarseness or magnetism, but a very refreshing and soft voice, just like her name.

Liu Qingshuang laughed softly and said: "I originally organized some civilian women to treat the wounded, but I didn't expect that we would win."

"If people rush in, there won't be any wounded." Cheng Jinzhou said, patting her hand on his knee.

A very casual movement, which immediately made Qingshuang's blushing as red as her shawl.

Classmate Xiao Cheng also realized that the action was frivolous, and laughed twice, thinking about it in his heart, and said: "Actually, there is no danger. If there is a problem, we can at least hold on to the city wall, and then the organization's manpower will be available It works and I’m glad I don’t have to get to that point.”

Liu Qingshuang nodded as if she understood, then looked at the pale soldiers returning from the front line, and asked in a low voice: "The situation on the battlefield is not good? Do you want to go and take a look?"

They were one kilometer behind the impact zone, and the area was already full of houses built illegally by traders.

Cheng Jinzhou shook his head vigorously and said, "It's best not to look at it."

In fact, he stopped observing the battlefield situation since the second attack of the Thousand-Man Team.

If artillery and machine guns caused massacre during World War I, then in the cold weapon era, nitroglycerin falling from the sky was simply a massacre. The fast cavalry column was like a fast-running assembly line. They had never experienced bombing, and they did not even understand the evasive methods such as bending down. In the era of high lethality, even with hard tank armor, it is best to move faster in order to avoid most attacks.

Cleaning up the battlefield after a battle is perhaps the second dirtiest job in a war.

Even if he had chopped people down with his own hands, Cheng Jinzhou could not bear the bloody changes on the battlefield.

Cleaning the battlefield takes much longer than fighting.

Like Liu Kuang and Jiang Huang in the sky, they spent far more time observing Cheng Jinzhou than talking to him directly.

…

Shaonan businessmen who had escaped the scourge of war returned home one after another.

On the surface, the sudden war seems to be over, but in people's hearts, a life-threatening incident will probably be unforgettable for a lifetime.

The repulse of 20,000 cavalry was a major event, and dozens of star warlocks were personally involved. Even the imperial court could not sit idly by. So before the celebration ceremony for Cheng Jinzhou's second-level star warlock began, the political hall began to discuss how to evaluate his new official position.

According to the principle of the supremacy of military merit among the nobility of Daxia, it is very possible to increase the title of knighthood.

The sudden invasion and sudden victory shocked all of Great Xia. At least within 10 years, this was the most glorious victory of the entire Xia Dynasty.

People everywhere were happy because of this, but the upper-level Star Warlock Association and the imperial court were unhappy in their own way.

The death of several star warlocks, including the loss of third-level one-star warlocks, is also a rare occurrence in the Xia Jing Star Warlock Association in recent years. As the only fourth-level star warlock Liu Kuang currently has, he is naturally under great pressure, but he has Because of Jiang Huang and Jiang Huang's words, he couldn't get angry.

On the other hand, the imperial court was quite wary of Cheng Jinzhou's victory. As an emperor, he is not afraid of his subordinates being wild or having needs. However, he clearly knows that Cheng Jinzhou wants something, but it becomes increasingly difficult to see what he wants. In this situation, Li Shaolin and Li Shangshu are full of worries. Problems and responsibilities came to Dean.

500 Royal Guardsmen walked on the streets of De'an, their bright armor making them look like reflective glass figures. ‘

Li Shaolin, who participated in the political affairs of the Zhengshi Hall and served as the Minister of Etiquette, attracted countless people to welcome him because of his high position. In an era when etiquette was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the top position in the Ministry of Etiquette was represented by the "Chairman of the Wenquxing Selection Committee", which was high-ranking. The common people wanted to take a look at it and brag about it, and the businessmen along the way even spontaneously set up incense burners to pray for peace. Even Lord Wei, the governor of Jinchuan Province, came in a hurry regardless of the bumpy road.

However, Cheng Jinzhou didn't even make any move.

He lives in the expanded county government office. Inside, there are pavilions and waterside pavilions. You can row boats, fish, catch fish, study knowledge with the star warlock, and play cards, chess, and mahjong with the star warlock. Although you can't watch TV series, the surroundings But they are all served by star-level little girls, and it is natural for real people to touch and touch.

He even organized a Cuju team and a polo team in the county government. Both are traditional programs in Daxia. In the past, only in large places such as Xia Jing, there were teams for ordinary people. Xiao Cheng gave a little sponsorship , naturally became Dean’s Abuzamovich.

After living in the environment of the 17th century for a period of time, Dr. Cheng Da seemed to have gradually come to understand. Whether you are a rich man in the 21st century or a rich man in the 10th century, the most interesting thing is always people - the essence of entertainment is to play with people, and the modern entertainment industry is just to maximize the development of public people to be played with.

Modern people in the 17th century could still have a lot of fun.

Entertainment covered up Cheng Jinzhou's own anxiety and uneasiness, so the job of entertaining Shangguan naturally fell on the county magistrate.

In his life, Xu Guinian had never seen an official above the third rank, apart from being an official who wanted to be an official. When he participated in the general election, he had never seen an official above the third rank. From the first rank to the Minister of Etiquette, he was like a Great-grandfather's brother's great-grandfather was so far away.

Now he has to meet the Minister of Rites all at once, and even has to stay with him for a long time. For Xu Guinian, it is simply a dreamlike nightmare, clear and real.

"Oh my God, I just want to retire." Xu Guinian has thought this more than once, but with no success at all.

The young and promising officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel who came to Shaonan with Li Shaolin had probably never seen a reception officer of the eighth rank. As the core of the central officials, officials in the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites not only need to be Jinshi in the second rank, but also have to have excellent results in the general examination and the palace examination. Those who are at the bottom of the second class or are from the same Jinshi class will be sent to the imperial examination early. I went to work as a county magistrate in another place. Only the lucky ones among the lucky ones every three years have the opportunity to stay in the Hanlin Academy for three to five years, and then step by step to be promoted to the sixth rank and enter various ministries. As for the gentlemen who go on tour with the Minister of Rites, at least they are all the fifth rank or even Officials of the fourth rank are a full 12 steps higher than Xu Guinian, and the latter will never be able to climb up.

Especially in the Civil Service Department, which is known as the first yamen in the Celestial Dynasty, the sixth-rank officials there dare to point their fingers and scold the fourth-class officials who come from out of town to meet them. Now in De'an, the fourth-rank officials in the civil service department are not leading the way. The government officials who entered the stream - According to the county level classification, the more than 30 officials registered in the Ministry of Civil Affairs were the senior government officials second only to the Dianshi who did not enter the stream. Those visiting officials who were in the sixth grade would only be entertained by temporary workers such as white officials.

Xu Guinian was walking around with Li Shaolin. Among the people behind him, even the official holding the papyrus was of a higher rank than him - in fact, it was just the same rank. So what if the local magistrate met a low-ranking official in the official department? They all have to bend down and say hello.

However, Cheng Jinzhou did not speak, and Jinzhou Province and Nanling could not send personnel to take over the reception. The entire "delegation" enjoyed an unequal reception in a harmonious and friendly atmosphere.

This wait is one month.

Li Shaolin knew that Warlock Xing was a big name, and that Warlock Liu Kuangxing could not do anything to him. Even if he had a temper in his heart, he could not let it out, but the time dragged on for too long, and he couldn't bear it. The positions in the political hall are limited. Even if His Majesty the Emperor does not fill new positions, leaving the center of power is a very bad thing, not to mention being unable to complete the work for a long time. It is easy to be labeled as incompetent.

As a last resort, he chose a sunny day. Li Shaolin prepared two heavy golden nuggets and personally stuffed them into Xu Guinian's hands, saying: "Master Xu, no matter what, let Li meet Master Cheng first. Bei The Han Jiuji army was defeated by Lord Star Warlock, and we are really fascinated. We should not delay the imperial court's award for too long."

I have never heard of such a thing being given by the Minister of Rites to a county magistrate who is in the eighth grade.

Xu Guinian was holding two gold ingots, his throat was so congested that he could not speak.

It wasn't exciting, it was completely scary.

He waited for a long time, but when no one rushed in and shouted "take it", he pinched his leg in disbelief, and then said in pain: "Master Cheng has to study astrology every day, it's really... Time is tight..."

As he spoke, he wanted to hand the golden piece back to Li Shaolin.

In Daxia's officialdom, except His Majesty the Emperor, who would dare to accept the gold and naked sons of the princes of the political affairs hall.

Li Shaolin didn't mean to accept it at all. With his warm hands, he kindly closed Xu Guinian's palm holding the gold nugget, and asked him to hold the gold ingot in his hand. He said with a kind smile: " Isn't there a polo match today? When Li was young, he was also a famous polo player in the capital. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to participate. Of course, during the game, I will ask Mr. Xu to report again. "

Xu Guinian looked humbly at Li Shaolin, who had white hair and beard, and then softly "hum" twice in his fierce eyes.
