213 Recommend a virtuous person

After three rounds of wine and five rounds of taste, Zhang Yunhui finally couldn't help it and asked with a flattering look: "Sir, I wonder what instructions do you have to invite the officials this time?"

Lu Haoshan smiled slightly and suddenly said seriously: "Mr. Zhang, have you ever thought about being the magistrate of Jiangyou County one day and giving some love to Jiangyou's parents and fellow villagers?"

This time, from civil and military transformation is a foregone conclusion. As long as the imperial edict is given, people will be transferred away quickly, but the foundation laid after finally being laid cannot be discarded. For Lu Haoshan, Jiangyou is his rear, training base, and the Zhao clan who supports him and the family of the private guards are also placed here. Even the gold, silver and wealth collected by Lu Haoshan are here, which is really not to be lost. Zhang Yunhui is Lu Haoshan's best spokesperson at this stage.

Locals know the roots and bottom of the story. They can't run away from the monks and are not afraid of him running away. Besides, Zhang Yunhui has experience in governance and has this ability. The most important thing is that he is famous but timid and has no ambitions. Lu Haoshan likes this kind of person the most.

Many people have an experience or experience. They feel that some people around them are average in ability and not outstanding in their work, but they are trusted and hold important positions. Although they are better in all aspects of their abilities, they can only be their subordinates. They have a feeling that heroes are useless. This is not that those who are superiors or bosses do not have a clear vision, but that they put loyalty in front of their abilities. Although some loyal ones are average in their abilities, they can make things worry-free.

Not every position needs to be very capable, and not every thing needs to be worried about.

Cao Hu has good abilities and is also the first time he has defected to Lu Haoshan. He should have given priority to him, but there are two aspects of Lu Haoshan who has to give up him: First, his ability is a problem. He is a dignified county magistrate, so you can't be a person who has no fame. Cao Hu is not even a Tongsheng, and Zhang Yunhui is still a scholar. The second reason is loyalty. Since he can betray him once, he will also betray him a second time. There is a saying that once is unfaithful, and you don't need to do it a hundred times.

So, Zhang Yunhui is the best candidate now.

What? Jiangyou County Magistrate?

When Zhang Yunhui heard this, his whole body trembled. He almost thought he was dreaming. He pinched himself secretly and realized that this was true, not a dream. This was excited, but he quickly woke up from his dream and shook his head and said, "Sir, this is a joke. The lower official is old and he will soon have to return to his hometown. Not to mention the embarrassing identity of a mere scholar, and there is also the principle of avoiding suspicion in the officialdom. Those who are officials are usually placed in another place. Therefore, the lower official cannot serve as the magistrate of Jiangyou County."

While gently turning the teacup in his hand, Lu Haoshan said lightly: "Since the rules are determined by people, there must be some places to be used. The matter is done by people. Besides, I am just saying if."

The matter was done by man, and these four words suddenly touched Zhang Yunhui's fragile nerves. Zhang Yunhui suddenly thought that it was impossible for him, but it did not mean that Lu Haoshan could not do it. At least, he had a high-ranking official in the capital who had a mysterious identity to support him. The political situation in the late Ming Dynasty was in turmoil and the laws and regulations collapsed. Even if the emperor accepted the donation from the gentry, some places were openly selling official positions. It was just a county magistrate or a small county magistrate in a remote area. It really didn't take much effort.

"If the subordinate has the opportunity to become the magistrate of Jiangyou County, he will definitely abide by the law and ask the adults for advice on this governance experience." Zhang Yunhui said seriously.

If you still can't hear Lu Haoshan's subtext at this time, then Zhang Yunhui has lived to be a dog for many years. He understands that Lu Haoshan is looking for his own purpose, suppresses the ecstasy in his heart, and immediately expresses his loyalty to Lu Haoshan.

If you can retire in a blue dress and return home, it will be a peak in your life.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Yunhui dreams of sitting in the lobby, slapping the gavel, and squeezing the county magistrate's addiction, even if the price is high, he is willing to do so.

Lu Haoshan smiled, raised his glass and said, "Come on, County Magistrate Zhang, I will give you another cup."

Zhang Yunhui held up the wine glass in both hands and said respectfully: "Sir, I will give you a glass."

Two wine glasses touched gently in the air and made a crisp sound. For smart people, everything was left unspeakable. In order to show sincerity and to seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Zhang Yunhui visited Lu Haoshan with a generous gift that night. When he left, he left three hundred taels. Of course, the unit was gold.

He took out three thousand taels at once, which was very sincere. Although three thousand taels were not too many to an official, Lu Haoshan knew that Zhang Yunhui still cherished his reputation. Although he also took out those gray incomes, he didn't get much. Besides, he didn't care about his daily affairs, and the income would not be very high. He was far from Chen Gui, who had the ability to make money. He took out three thousand taels at once. It can be said that he took out all the coffin books, but Lu Haoshan did not refuse and accepted it with a smile.

On August 16th, the Reunion Festival just passed, the lanterns on the street were still there, and the festive atmosphere was still strong, but Lu Haoshan could not wait to set off and headed straight for Pingwu County.

Pingwu is the city of Long'an Mansion. Lu Haoshan was looking for the Long'an prefect Cheng Tieshan on this trip, and was preparing to ask him to recommend Zhang Yunhui as the magistrate of Jiangyou County. Unexpectedly, Lu Haoshan, the prefect's yamen, was rejected by a small and small one:

"Sorry, Lord Lu, my master said that I won't see guests today." When Lu Haoshan was about to visit Cheng Tieshan, he refused to come in because he couldn't come out and did not make an appointment.

"I have an urgent matter, please inform me." Lu Haoshan's tone was a little unhappy.

The doorman who was as thin as a monkey said with some embarrassment: "The prefect told him not to see the guests, Lord Lu, don't make things difficult for the younger ones."

What is there to see a guest? If an official who is bigger than him comes, he will not see him? I guess he will get up as soon as he gets sick. It is obviously an excuse. This is a good person, but even the commander is not as good as him. As expected, the King of Hell is easy to deal with. It is difficult for a little ghost to deal with. Even though he knows that he is an official, he still dares to ask for benefits. He is so bold.

Lu Haoshan gave a wink, followed the twelve old Zhao Gongchang and immediately smiled and stuffed a piece of silver into the hands of the door, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, this brother, please don't worry."

The door felt the weight of the broken silver and immediately smiled and said, "Okay, just scold me, the young one will go and inform me, but if the adults don't see me, the young one dare not promise."

"Of course, I'm working hard." Zhao Gongchang said with a smile.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, Lu Haoshan knew the answer: Cheng Tieshan, the governor of Long'an, personally greeted him, and he was still smiling.

Seeing this, Lu Haoshan immediately bowed and said, "The emperor has met the prefect."

"Haha, it's Haoshan," Cheng Tieshan said with a smile: "You are a rare guest, you are exempt from gifts, no gifts."

While speaking, he helped Lu Haoshan up with his own hands.

"Sir Xie, the official..."

Cheng Tieshan interrupted and said, "No hurry, let's talk about it if you have something to do."

"Yes, sir, please."

When Lu Haoshan entered, he turned his head and glanced at the door. He saw that the fat face of the door was already sweating. When he saw Lu Haoshan looking at him, he was shocked. He looked begging in his eyes. A sneer appeared on the corner of Lu Haoshan's mouth and walked straight in.

That sneer gave the door a feeling of being cold. Although it was the day of summer, it felt like it was poured down by a basin of cold water in the cold winter. He was so cold that he didn't expect that when the prefect heard that the Jiangyou County Magistrate came to visit, he left his beloved concubine and went out to greet him without saying a word. He was afraid at that time because he dared to ask him for the doorman's fee.

The door that was not open to the eyes was just a trivial matter. Soon, the two of them sat down in the side hall in a primary and secondary manner and started to taste the tea.

"It's a sin to ask the senior official to come out to greet him suddenly." Lu Haoshan also felt a little flattered when he went out to greet Cheng Tieshan. As the saying goes, the senior official level is crushed to death, Cheng Tieshan is his immediate boss.

Cheng Tieshan smiled and waved his hand and said, "This few steps are nothing. Compared to Haoshan's achievements, these are far inferior. It is not bad. With a civil servant, the rebel army led by a civil servant to eliminate the rebels and make many military achievements, the whole Sichuan knows that Chaoting said in the "Mobilization Order" that for those who have meritorious merits, Haoshan will definitely be given a promotion. Besides, you are still young and your future is limitless."

This time, Lu Haoshan became famous. Not only did the whole Sichuan people know that they were named in front of the emperor. Maybe one Yuan general fell down and another "General Yuan general" stood up. There have been rumors in the Long'an officialdom that the magistrate Lu was in the capital and backing. Maybe he called himself "the lower official" today, and tomorrow he would have to call himself "the lower official" in front of him, so Cheng Tieshan immediately came out.

Taking a few more steps is nothing. It is more important to leave a good popularity at this time.

After the greetings, Lu Haoshan was really tired of the endless quarrels and said, "Sir, please help me if you have something to do."

"Oh, Haoshan, what's wrong with you?" Cheng Tieshan asked curiously.

Lu Haoshan didn't say anything, but just looked at the maids and servants. Cheng Tieshan understood and waved his hand and said, "You guys go down first."

"Yes, sir."

After all the miscellaneous people retreated, Lu Haoshan said directly: "Sir, because of this military achievements, the subordinates will soon be transferred to military positions. When the subordinates leave, the county magistrate of Jiangyou will be vacant. The subordinates want to recommend one person to serve as the county magistrate."

This is a bit arrogant, the appointment has not been issued yet, so it is so high-profile so quickly? Besides, the vacancy of Jiangyou County Magistrate is also a matter of the Ministry of History. You can't talk about a small seventh-rank county magistrate who comes to ask for trouble. Is this arrogance or confidence? Is it because he has a big backer behind him?

Cheng Tieshan thought of him like lightning, but he still smiled and said, "Congratulations, Haoshan, you recommend good wise men to the court. This is a good thing. I wonder which one do you want to recommend to serve as the magistrate of Jiangyou County after you?"

Lu Haoshan said with a certain expression: "Former Jiangyou County Magistrate Zhang Yunhui, he is diligent and loving the people, honest and capable, and is a good candidate."

Zhang Yunhui?
