As soon as the waterway of Yongji Canal was opened, anger suddenly appeared on the dock in Jixian. The bars, boatmen and boatmen were all sweating and traveling back and forth on the dock, pulling the robbed ships into the dock.

After the boatman pulled the boat, he went to the foreman to get the chips. In the past, when the scenery was good, ten chips could be exchanged for a bucket of rice. Now the scenery is small, fifteen chips can be exchanged for a bucket of rice. If you have the chips, you can get the rice back, and your wife and children won’t go hungry.

If there is no canal, the livelihood is broken, the boatman, the boatman, and more than a thousand people will be unemployed, but it is likely to cause chaos.

Next to the canal, listening to an inconspicuous ox cart, with the curtains gently lifting, Lu Ziqian and Lu Chengqing sat in it, watching the scene.

Lu Ziqian tapped his hand twice and said, "I thought this matter was a bit tricky, but I didn't expect it, but I didn't expect it... Then Xu, Humph Li Jun solved the matter quietly."

Lu Chengqing said immediately: "Uncle, I think it's not a solution to force it. Should I talk to Li Chongjiu first?"

Lu Ziqian waved his hand and said, "No, no busy. Several businessmen will be able to do anything. Go home!"

After saying that, the coachman drove back to Lu Mansion.

In the county magistrate's mansion, Li Chongjiu sat on the desk, and in his hand was Liu Cheng'an, a former Dongcai clerk from Zhuo County, handed over a list of officials. After this list of officials, there was the name, origin, origin, and origin of the officials, which was equivalent to a brief resume.

The procedure for selecting officials in the Great Sui Dynasty was screened by the State Council (Note 1), but after Yang Jian abolished the Ninth-rank Zhongzheng, the State Council also became famous and in fact. Yang Guang wanted to establish the imperial examination and abolish the system of recruitment. However, this case had just been implemented, so most counties and counties in the country still followed the old rules.

Li Chongjiu looked at the officials. There are generally two types of officials in Zhuo County. One is the officials who were previously appointed by the Ministry of Personnel, such as the county magistrate, Tongshou, county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate, lord, etc., or the supervisory officials such as Silitai, who were appointed by the court. The second is the county magistrate. Local officials recruited by the county magistrate themselves, such as Dianzhao and Liucao. This type of officials are generally from local sects and tribes, selected from the gentry, county ranks, and powerful people.

The so-called gentry, two of the three generations of the ranks of officials or above the fifth rank, and in Zhuo County, there are only a few families such as the Lu family who can be called gentry. The lower gentry is the gentry of the county, and the so-called gentry of the county. Generally, there are prominent surnames of a county, and there are usually officials in the county, but the official positions are only five ranks. In the end, there are local tyrants, and local tyrants are only radiating powers in the township and counties. Generally, they can become township and county officials.

However, among the gentry, not everyone can be an official, such as the Lu family is both the same mother. Lu Ziqian can only stay at home, while Lu Chisong can become an official in the court. The surname of the surname is only provided with you. If a scholar wants to be outstanding, he also needs the power of the saying of the saying.

For example, Cao Cao was a "capable minister in governing the world and a traitor in troubled times" for Xu Shaopin. Cao Cao was praised by many celebrities, and his reputation rose and was named a filial and honest person. For example, Lu Sidao, the grandfather of Lu Chengqing of the Lu family, was recognized as the same famous scholar as Xue Daoheng and Li Delin. He was summoned by Qi, Zhou and Sui.

There are also differences in the theory of sound. The "Tianxia Theory" that is appreciated by famous scholars in the world. For example, Xu Shao, who evaluated Cao Cao, is a famous scholar in the world. After the public opinion of famous scholars in the world, it is easy to be promoted to an official by the court.

The following is the township theory recommended by counties and counties. The township theory is the mutual comments between the people of the township. For example, before the Sima family in Hanoi was developed, Sima Yi and his brothers were called Sima Bada.

When Li Chongjiu was the magistrate of Shanggu County before, Shanggu County was originally a border county with no gentry. After the rebellion of Wang Xuba, even the powerful people of the county were all gone. The last local family was founded and Li Chongjiu confiscated the whole family. As for Anle County, Liaoxi County, Yanmen County, etc., they were all border counties, with only smaller powerful people and no famous families at all.

However, now the rule of Zhuo County is different. There are many gentry and county-level clans. The theory of the world is that the court selects famous scholars. As the future county magistrate, Li Chongjiu wanted to recruit officials. Therefore, according to the rules of the county magistrate at that time, he had to follow the principles of the township.

Those who control the local area are often famous scholars in the big surnames, which are mentioned by famous scholars in the county. There is now a stack of reserve candidates such as the four heroes of the Zhao family, the eight horses of the Lu family, etc. on Li Chongjiu's desk. There are reserve candidates recommended by local celebrities. Each person has one or two comments on him.

Of course, such as capable ministers who govern the world and treacherous heroes in troubled times, they must not be talked about randomly, but for Fan Yang's famous scholar XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The normal procedure for Li Chongjiu to be a county magistrate was to use a red pen to cross the list of local celebrities to recommend it. However, Li Chongjiu did not follow the normal procedure and promoted Lin Dangfeng and Zhou Bo to officials. This was nothing, but these two people were businessmen.

As soon as the news came out on this day, more than a dozen officials who were noble and disdainful to be with the merchants were both called sick or retired to Li Chongjiu. This was like forcing the palace to be forced to do so. Li Chongjiu remained silent and approved the instructions of more than a dozen officials.

So when Liu Chengan saw Li Chongjiu and asked him for a local and rural discussion, he thought Li Chongjiu wanted to select people from this scholar to fill the vacancy of his official position. Liu Chengan thought that Li Chongjiu was wasting his efforts. He had already received news that this time, the officials and gentry of Zhuo County also attacked the county magistrate, so even if he came forward to enlist the vacancies, no one would come.

Li Chongjiu looked at the hometown theory sent by Liu Chengan, then put the paper on it and asked, "Why are there no Xue family?"

Liu Chengan was stunned and asked immediately: "Dare you ask the envoy, which Xue family?"

Li Chongjiu said, "Who else is besides Mr. Xue in this city?"

When Liu Chengan heard this, he said, "Eunuch, Mr. Xue comes from the Xue family in Hedong and is not among the prominent families in this county."

Li Chongjiu immediately said, "Since that's the case, I will first draft an announcement for me, saying that if the former official of Zhuo County is willing to renew his position, he will come to the county government to report within three days. If he does not come in three days, this rule will be regarded as a dismissal."

Liu Chengan said immediately: "Promise."

Li Chongjiu knocked on the list of recommended people in the village and said immediately: "As for this list, press it for the time being."

In the afternoon, Lin Dangfeng and Zhou Bo brought more than a dozen Zhuo County merchants to visit Li Chongjiu. These more than a dozen Zhuo County merchants were powerful merchants in Zhuo County, and they discussed with Li Chongjiu until late at night.

The next day, Li Chongjiu issued another announcement, appointing more than a dozen scholars with business backgrounds, or directly as assistants at the county level of Zhuo County. This move immediately shocked Liu Cheng'an. Could it be that Li Chongjiu had to be in trouble with the geniuses of Zhuo County?

Now for Li Chongjiu, he did not want to use the merchant class to overwhelm the scholar class.

When a large army occupied a place, how to digest and conquer the hearts of the local people is crucial. After Luo Yi occupied Zhuo County in history, he had hope to compete with Dou Jiande for hegemony in Hebei, but why did he give up the battle for hegemony in the world early and hide in Zhuo County without any ambitions. In the end, he could only surrender to the Tang Dynasty and even changed his name to Li Yi.

It was because Luo Yi could not get the support of the Zhuo County gentry. Look at Luo Yi's civil servant leader Wen Yanbo, Taiyuan Wen family, the three brothers of the Wen family, and the other two Wen Dayou, Wen Daya and Li Yuan raised their troops in Jinyang and called themselves the general. Wen Daya joined the army as the General's Office Record Office. In the end, Wen Yanbo urged Luo Yi to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

The Lu family in Fanyang, Lu Chisong was the Hedong ruling of the imperial court. Li Yuan raised an army for only a few days after Li Yuan raised an army in Jinyang. Lu Chisong immediately welcomed Li Yuan to Huoyi. He was named Duke of Fanyang County by Li Yuan and was appointed as the doctor of the Ministry of War of Taiwan.

There are also the four sons of Xue Shixiong's family, Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun, who are all powerful generals under Luo Yi, defeating Dou Jiande many times, but the Xue family in Hedong surrendered to Li Yuan. Xue Shou was the son of Xue Daoheng, who was as famous as his brother Xue Deyin and nephew Xue Yuanjing, and was known as the Three Phoenixes of Hedong. After Li Yuan raised an army in Taiyuan, Xue Suanyang Mountain and gathered people to respond. Later, he was appreciated by Li Shimin and became one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace.

In other words, except for Luo Yi himself, the rest of the civil and military officials under his command, as well as the largest local gentry, all supported Li Yuan. Even if Luo Yi had the ambition to compete for dominance in the world, he should have stopped at this time.

The last thing came to an end. When Li Tang was about to unify the world, Luo Yi suddenly wanted to struggle and refused to give up his power. He had troops in Zhuo County to stand up, but in the end he was betrayal of his relatives. Before the Li Tang army arrived, Luo Yi turned around and fled to the Turks. He was killed by his subordinates halfway. A generation of heroes died, which caused the regret of his personal death.

Now, for Li Chongjiu, these things are no longer history in history books, but are indeed happening in front of him. Just a few days ago, when Li Chongjiu had just captured Ji County, Zhuo County, Li Yuan actually sent a letter to the counties in Jinyang on the same day, claiming to be a righteous army.

Li Yuan opened the General's Mansion and established three armies. His eldest son Li Jian became the Duke of Longxi, and the left commander of the army, and the left commander; Li Shimin was Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Duke of Du

Then Pei Ji was appointed as the chief secretary, Liu Wenjing was appointed as Sima, Shi Ai County Magistrate Yin Kaishan was appointed as the clerk, Liu Zhenghui was appointed as the subordinate, Wang Changxi, Liu Hongji and Dou Cong were appointed as the commander of the army, Li Yuan opened the city of Cangcheng in Taiyuan, and used grain and rice to provide relief to the people to win the hearts of the people.

After only a few days of reprimanding, Wen Dayou, Wen Daya, Lu Chisong and Xue Shou mentioned above all turned to Li Yuan. In addition, Li Sanniang also led the rebel army in Guanzhong, and the Guanlong gentry all secretly supported it.

Now, as the governor of Zhuo County, Li Chongjiu faces the same choice as Luo Yi in history, including the Lu family, Xue family, and his aide Wen Yanbo.

Li Chongjiu can be very sure of the judgment that the Lu family must have learned about Li Yuan’s uprising in Jinyang. Now they are going to use this to threaten Li Chongjiu and force him to make the same choice as Luo Yi in history.
