[Chapter 2079 gifts]
“I see!”
Song Yan nodded and instructed Genbo to continue on his way and report to the government office.
The prefect of Liangzhou Prefecture is called Su Bingsheng. He was born in the top three. He has a pedantic personality and abides by etiquette to the point of abnormality. He is also quite honest as an official.
Because of this, he was insoluble in officialdom, offended people many times, and was thrown into the deserted land of Liangzhou.
Of course, Su Bingsheng’s information was all obtained by Song Yan from Cai Zixiao.
Because Liangzhou is located on the border, it is often harassed by barbarians. Therefore, there is also a town of soldiers and horses in Liangzhou Prefecture. The military attache who leads the town’s soldiers and horses is called Xu Xing. Quite, but subject to the prefect’s restraint.
Because the ancestors of the state of Wei all usurped the state as prime ministers, in the officialdom of the state of Wei, the position of the civil servants was more honorable than that of the military officers.
In order to limit the rights of the prime minister, after defending the country, the office of the prime minister was revoked and changed to a cabinet, with three cabinet ministers jointly exercising the power of the prime minister.
In this way, it is very difficult to imagine usurping the country like the ancestors of Wei. After all, the three elders of the cabinet are not of one mind.
soon.
The carriage arrived at the government office.
Looking up, the entire government office looked quite run down. After submitting the official document, the guards guarding the government office were shocked when they found out that Song Yan was the newly-arrived governor of the prefecture. Lead the way ahead, after all, the future Song Yan will also be half the master of this mansion.
The soldiers and horses of that town were not in the Fucheng, but more than 20 miles away. After all, the soldiers were a bunch of old men. If the military town was built in the Fucheng, there would definitely be soldiers harassing the civilians.
Therefore, Song Yan was the highest official except Su Bingsheng, how could the yamen dare to offend him.
After leading Song Yan to the back hall, the yamen went to report to the prefect Su Bingsheng.
About a quarter of an hour passed.
A thin middle-aged man in a Confucian robe walked in, followed by a middle-aged man.
“Xiaoguan Song Yan has seen the adults!”
Song Yan stood up to greet him.
“Ziyu doesn’t need to be polite, please get up quickly!”
Su Bingwen greeted him with enthusiasm, and personally helped Song Yan up.
After a few chats, the two sides took their seats, and Su Bingwen also introduced him to the middle-aged man behind him, who was his master.
The other party was also quite polite to Song Yan.
“Ziyu, how is your teacher Cai Zixiao now?” Su Bingwen asked.
Song Yan responded with a smile: “Thank you for your concern, the teacher is very good, the teacher said, when you arrive in Liangzhou, you must listen to the teachings of the adults!”
“With Cai Zixiao to teach you, where do you need my teaching! However, we can exchange knowledge with each other!” While speaking, Su Bingwen took out a written article and asked him to taste it.
“Nima!”
Song Yan was a little speechless, but the other party was his boss anyway, so he had to give him face, so he took over the article and read it.
As the saying goes, seeing an article is like seeing a person, this Su Bingwen’s article is written exceptionally neatly, with thin and powerful fonts, but the arguments of the article are lackluster, revealing a pedantic and stubborn air, and at the same time, there are all kinds of comments on Wei Guo’s officialdom. criticism.
If you use the words of another world to describe it, it is an old angry youth.
So after reading the article, Song Yan avoided the important points and severely criticized the corruption in Wei Guo’s officialdom, which made Su Bingwen extremely excited and directly cited Song Yan as a confidant.
It also attracted Su Bingwen to talk about prosperity, and he refused to give up after talking for an hour.
In desperation, Song Yan had to interrupt him and said, “Master Su, Xiaguan has brought his family with him when he takes office this time. If it’s too late today, and let Xiaguan settle down with his family, how about visiting him again?”
When Su Bingwen heard the words, a look of regret appeared on his face, but he did not stop Song Yan, and said, “Ziyu go quickly, don’t make your family wait for a long time, by the way, if Ziyu needs help, please feel free to speak, the old man is here. There are still some thin noodles in Liangzhou City!”
After saying goodbye to Su Bingwen, Song Yan took a carriage out of the government office and planned to find an inn to stay in. After all, it was too late today, and if he wanted to buy a house, he had to wait until tomorrow.
However, when he left the government office, he was stopped by a group of people.
“Little man Liu Wen pays respects to Lord Zhizhou!”
“Who are you?”
Song Yan stepped out of the carriage and stared at him and asked, but his eyes fell on a few people behind him. Although these people were dressed as ordinary people, they all had traces of being soldiers. If he was not mistaken, this Liu Wen Most of them were sent by the garrison general Xu Xing.
“The villain is the aide guarding the general’s command. The general knows that the adult has just taken office and should not have a mansion yet, so he specially ordered the villain to send a mansion!”
While speaking, Liu Wen handed over a wooden box, which contained the house deed and key.
Song Yan did not reach out to pick it up or speak, but looked at Liu Wen.
The other party showed a slight smile: “Sir, this house is located in the east of the city, covering an area of dozens of acres, and the maids in it are fully in charge, and all the household items are new, adults can go directly!”
“Your general’s news is well-informed. This official has only been in the city for more than an hour, and your general will know!”
heard.
However, Liu Wen showed a hint of smugness: “In Liangzhou City, what my general wants to know has not escaped his eyes!”
“Go on, go back and tell your generals that his good intentions are accepted by the official, and I will invite him to drink another day!” As soon as the words fell, Song Yan stepped into the carriage again.
Seeing this, Liu Wen’s face was a little ugly, and he secretly said in his heart: “This guy really doesn’t know what to do, and even dares to refuse the goodwill of the general!”
“Uncle, it just so happens that we don’t have a place to live. The general gave you the house, why didn’t you accept it?” On the carriage, Xiao Yu’er said a little puzzled.
“You are too young to understand!” Song Yan smiled and did not explain, because even if he explained, Xiao Yu’er might not understand.
Otherwise, they would not be excluded from Liangzhou.
And Xu Xing, as a guard general, commanding 5,000 troops, will definitely embezzle the army’s salaries, and is a corrupt official.
He sent the house to Song Yan, either to test it or to win over him.
Once he gave the house as a gift from his subordinates, it would definitely reach Su Bingwen’s ears soon. With Su Bingwen’s character, he would definitely be quite dissatisfied with Song Yan, and even wrote a book to the court to refer to him.
Of course, Song Yan has Cai Zixiao’s teacher, Su Bingwen may not be able to join him, but it can have a big impact on him, and his relationship with Su Bingwen will definitely be like water and fire.
The other party is the prefect, he is the prefect, and he was born to hold him down. If it really got to the point, he could only rely on Xu Xing.
This is also the reason why the other party wants to give gifts outside the yamen, it is deliberately made for Su Bingwen to see.
