Chapter 641 Painful comprehension
There are hundreds of guards outside the county government. These are the inspectors who belong to the county magistrate. They have complete weapons and many people are wearing soft armor. Such weapons and equipment are rare in other prefectures and counties, but they are very common in western Longyou.
After two Longyou Wars, Li Xun not only made a lot of money but also made the same in money. However, although Li Xun loved money, he never kept his own money and spoils, but instead took out most of the money and spoils for the construction and development of the western Longyou states.
Although the Tubo soldiers were brave, their weapons and equipment were not good. Most of their infantry were mainly soft armor. After the war, Li Xun seized a large number of soft armor and general weapons, all of which were sent to the soldiers of the inspection department of various prefectures and counties for use.
In the past few years when Li Xun was in charge of the western part of Longyou, he continued to carry out many of his thoughts and ambitions. He not only received a good pension for his soldiers who died in battle, but all his children were free of charge until they were eighteen years old. Under the leadership of Li Xun, the official newly built school was free of charge. The soldiers who were disabled due to the war also reduced the labor service of an adult man from his family, raised his family and farmed for full-time farming, and reduced the tax by more than half. As for those soldiers who reached the age of retirement and were not very disabled, Li Xun would find them a job as long as he was willing. For example, the inspection departments of each prefecture and county were more than 100 people, and the number of prefectures and counties in the Central Plains was not that large. The court did not pay any additional money for these additional inspection departments. They were all solved by Li Xun himself.
These are all a series of political achievements made by Li Xun in the past few years in charge of the western Longyou. These measures have been highly praised by Fan Zhongyun, Zhou Qing and others, including Sima Zhong who was transferred back to Beijing. After returning to the court, he praised Li Xun's various measures in western Longyou, which surprised Zhao Zhi with a different look.
In the seven states in the western part of Longyou, Li Xun has a very high prestige among the vast middle and lower classes and is very supportive. These people have indeed gained great benefits and benefits because of Li Xun. Ordinary people have very simple thoughts. If you treat me well, I will support you.
Although there are still many shortcomings and gains and losses, Li Xun has worked very hard to improve it. After the victory of the Western Regions War, Li Xun once said to Fan Zhongyun and others with great enthusiasm that if you give yourself five years, you will definitely be able to develop Longyou into a very different place from the mainland of the Central Plains.
The inspection department of Xiayuan County was led by a nine-rank Renyong lieutenant, and there were two nine-rank Renyong lieutenant below. These three were once Li Xun's subordinate officers. When they saw Li Xun coming, they hurriedly stepped forward and half-kneeled and gave a regular military salute: "The last general will meet the general."
Li Xun glanced at them: "What are you doing here?"
Captain Renyong looked up and said, "My county magistrate Zhou gave an order. Without his greeting, no one would see him."
Li Xun waved his hand and said softly: "Get out of the way."
"Yes, Grandmaster."
Without any hesitation, the bullshit county magistrate is worthless in front of Li Xun, at least in the mind of the Renyong Captain.
Captain Renyong stood up and waved his hand at his subordinates: "Get out of the way."
Li Xun glanced at Captain Renyong and said, "This is not the place you stay. Take your people to the city to maintain public order. Another person will be hurt, whether it is a Han or a foreigner, I will ask you."
Captain Renyong nodded vigorously and immediately led his people away.
Li Xun felt angry in his heart, so he stepped forward and kicked open the county government gate, and walked in staggeringly.
When the people from the county yamen saw Li Xun coming in a fierce manner, they dared not ask or block it. They all gave it to the side, and dared not let it go.
In the lobby, the county magistrate Wang Zhi was sitting there, tilting his head and dozing off. His face was red, and he could smell a smell of alcohol from a distance.
Hearing the sound, Wang Zhi woke up and saw Li Xun and the group of soldiers behind him. He was slightly stunned, and then there was a deep bitter look on his face.
"Search to the commander."
Wang Zhi stood up and saluted.
Li Xun said in a low voice: "You are in a calm mood."
Wang Zhi was open and sighed: "The subordinate officials did not explain anything, but everything was done by Zhou Xiansen. He was majestic to the county magistrate, and I must not refuse to obey his orders."
Wang Zhi is nearly fifty years old. At his rank like him, he must retire at most fifty. In fact, he is not bad and is still honest as an official. Unfortunately, he has not even passed the exam. He relies on his ancestors to get a minor official in the county government office. After decades of struggle, he has become a county magistrate. Wang Zhi is very resistant to what Zhou Xiansen did, but there is no way. Zhou Xiansen is not only his superior, but also from a gentry. With a strong backer like a family, he is not a person like Wang Zhi dares to resist. He can only do what he can. For example, Guo Chen, if it were not for Wang Zhi, if Wang Zhi had not turned a blind eye, as the direct chief officer of the constables, Guo Chen would not be able to transfer it alone.
Did Li Xun look at you more often, Wang Zhi asked in a deep voice: "Where is Zhou Xiansen?"
Wang Zhi replied calmly: "Mr. Zhou has drunk too much and is now taking a nap in the back room."
Hearing this, Li Xun was almost angry and laughed. It was in chaos outside. As a county magistrate, Zhou Xiansen, who was still in a state of mind, had the heart to drink and even slept.
Li Xun gritted his teeth at Jiang Daxiong on the side and said, "Big Xiong, pull this bastard out and let him sober up."
"knew."
Jiang Daxiong responded and walked towards the back room with big strides. After a while, he twisted Zhou Xiansen like a chicken in his hand and walked out. He was like this. Zhou Xiansen still didn't wake up. It was obvious that he had drunk a lot of wine before.
Li Xun stared at Zhou Xiansen for a while, then raised his hand and slapped him in the face.
ah!
The slap was quite hard. Zhou Xiansen finally woke up and looked at Li Xun with drunken eyes, and his face suddenly became astonished: "Li Xun, why are you here?"
Immediately, the pain on his face came to his mind. Zhou Xiansen covered his face, glared at Li Xun, and shouted: "Li Xun, how dare you hit me?"
Li Xun said coldly: "You have expanded a large number of subordinates without my consent. This is against your superiors and condoned your subordinates to bully and kill the people. This is a dereliction of duty. Don't say you are beaten, even if you kill you, it is not an exaggeration."
Zhou Xiansen sneered coldly: "I have done everything, how can you do to me? These are all agreed by His Highness Qu. If you want to kill me, you should consider your own weight first."
Li Xun shook his head, not wanting to talk nonsense to this idiot, turned his head and said to Wang Zhi: "Go and inform Guo Chen that from now on, he will be the county magistrate of Xiayuan County. I will immediately remove Zhou Xiansen from his position as county magistrate with the power of the Western Observer of Longyou."
Zhou Xiansen laughed and said, "Li Xun, you have only a little success. How can I take a mere seventh-rank county magistrate seriously? Being an official under your command is simply a shame for me, Zhou Xiansen..."
Li Xun turned around and slapped Zhou Xiansen in the face. He was so angry that he wanted to kill this person. However, reason told Li Xun that he could not do this, at least he could not kill a seventh-rank county magistrate without any reason. Moreover, Zhou Xiansen was born in a gentry, and killing him at will may cause a great subsequent chain reaction. At this time, Li Xun did not want to mess up the situation in the western part of Longyou because of one person.
Zhou Xiansen relied on his background and was not afraid of Li Xun at all. He was slapped again and was extremely angry and began to scold Li Xun, his words were very unpleasant.
Li Xun raised his head to Jiang Daxiong and said coldly: "Take him out to wake up and let him know what pain is."
