Chapter 407: The Martial Saint Inspects His Troops
Liang Qu was working on flood control in Huazhu County last year. He heard the envoy mentioned that the Huaiyin Mansion would change its plans before the summer plowing. He didn't expect this day to come so quickly!
I'm afraid that when I came to Xiangyi County, the envoy was also on the way.
It is a pity that I could not witness the historical moment of Zhenbianfu with my own eyes.
Suddenly I thought back.
Many large chambers of commerce have already emerged in Pingyang County. Many high-rise buildings surround the county seat, and countless construction projects are being carried out.
The scale of the houses in many places is even more exaggerated than Master Yang's. The walls are stacked on top of each other, starting from three floors. They may be from many families from Huaiyin Mansion.
Fortunately, I had purchased a lot of land in advance.
After being informed by the envoy, Liang Qu purchased a large number of land titles early.
Worried that Old Toad would get the news, he kept silent.
Yixing Town is more than ten miles away from the county seat. It is still a long way from being completely integrated into the main urban area. It will take at least two to three years. However, it is a large town in Pingyang Prefecture, and its status and development will inevitably increase.
Can Daxing and Wanping counties at the foot of the imperial capital be the same as counties in other places?
There are two county magistrates, but the magistrates will not change.
Therefore, Liu Shiqin expressed his congratulations.
Who wouldn’t envy you when you are at home and the pie is falling from the sky?
But it's easier to do it officially. There will undoubtedly be another wave of fierce dragons crossing the river, and not just individuals, but large clans.
Liang Qu stood firm in the last wave, relying on his master's relationship to break into the second generation circle.
Whether you can maintain your original position in this wave, the more you mix, the better, it all depends on your own ability.
Liang Qu kept it in mind and asked about the second exciting thing.
"The second thing is even more special. I learned yesterday that I made a pilgrimage to the Holy Emperor to announce to the world that I would confer the title of Marquis Weining as the General of the Zhu Kingdom and open a palace in Ningjiang, Huainan!"
"Marquis Weining?"
Liang Qu felt it sounded familiar, but his memory was quite vague.
Liu Shiqin reminded: "I am the newly promoted Martial Saint. Last year, the world had big breasts. Didn't Liang Shuilang have an impression?"
"Oh! Remember."
Liang Qu suddenly recalled.
Last year, Marquis Weining became enlightened and became a saint, and he had a big breast for five days. He was having a meal with his senior brothers. When he woke up the next day, he suddenly realized that Ape Fist was more suitable for him, and he was awarded a great title. It was the same person who came to report it.
After that, they attacked the Ghost Mother Cult and used two Martial Saint Mysterious Arms. One of the spear-shaped Mysterious Arms belonged to Marquis Weining.
There is some connection between them, and they have met indirectly.
Unexpectedly, it took so long for Marquis Weining to be granted the title?
Seeing that Liang Qu's memory was clear, Liu Shiqin continued: "Any martial saint who serves the country can be awarded the title of General of the Zhu Kingdom and has the right to open a mansion!
This time, Marquis Weining was granted the title of Ningjiang Prefecture, close to Nanzhili, and he formally sent out recruitment notices to surrounding prefectures, with the intention of forming a government office team. "
Liang Qu heard that Ningjiang Mansion was close to Nanzhili, and he immediately understood why it had been delayed for so long.
Southern Zhili is the reserved land of this dynasty and is the most fertile place in the world.
No matter how big it is, no martial sage or general of the Zhu Kingdom is qualified to obtain a fiefdom in Nanzhili.
Although Ningjiang Prefecture is not within the scope of Nanzhili, it is close!
Huainan Prefecture is over Chizhou, which is Ningzhou Prefecture!
Chizhou is already a border state in southern Zhili. As a state, its size is only slightly larger than an ordinary county.
In a circle around Southern Zhili, although there is no clear statement that it cannot be enfeoffed, it is almost acquiescence.
If they can be separated, there must be a reason.
The only thing Liang Qu could think of was the Ghost Mother Cult, or the threat from the dragon.
The ghost mother is a cliché.
If the dragon wants to turn into a dragon, it will inevitably escape into the water. The imperial court will not know about it, and I am afraid it will also take precautions.
With Jianghuai Daze here, it would be much safer to place a Martial Saint next to him as a vanguard to cooperate with the two people on the surface in Nanzhili.
However, safety is relative. The longevity of the Martial Saint is long. Even if it is not hereditary, it is still the same as hereditary. I am afraid that the court will have a lot of quarrels over this. It is normal to argue for a year and a half.
Liu Shiqin drank tea silently, not disturbing Liang Qu's thinking.
Liang Qu is young, and his work style is completely unlike that of a young man in his twenties.
After all, most geniuses who come from big families would not think of asking for benefits before doing something... People who grew up in a wealthy family tend to be thin-skinned.
A long while.
Liang Qu's eyes moved.
Liu Shiqin put down his tea cup: "If Mr. Liang responds to the talent request, I believe that the Ningjiang Mansion will treat him as a guest. Let alone starting from the sixth rank, if the martial saint takes the fancy, his status will be higher than that of the true successors in the large sects." Prominent.”
Officials between the Kaifu Yamen and the imperial Yamen could be transferred to each other.
Those who moved within the imperial court were often promoted, while those who moved out were demoted.
Liang Qu's past, with his strength and achievements, is indeed rare from the sixth to the top.
"Zhixian Liu is joking."
Liang Qu received the Holy Emperor's decree and went to Ningjiang Mansion to restrict his development.
Although his status was high for a while, his future prospects were completely inferior.
Furthermore, it is said that it can be balanced, but how to do it is another matter.
It is rare to hear that someone can jump horizontally repeatedly and hold a high position at the same time, unless that person himself is appointed by the court to exercise the power of assistance (supervision).
I didn’t expect that after two days of digging for ruins, so many things would happen outside.
There is an illusion of not keeping up with the times.
I wonder what kind of changes a Martial Saint next to Huaiyin Mansion, oh, Pingyang Mansion, will bring about.
Drink up the cup of tea.
"What about the third thing?"
"The first two things are indirectly related to Mr. Liang, and the third thing is directly related."
Liang Qu's heart skipped a beat when he heard that it was related to him.
"What's up?"
"In response to the petition from the people of Xiangyi, the temple wishes to renovate the statues for the water temple in this county!"
Liang Qu felt something in his heart, but still asked: "What should it be changed to?"
Liu Shiqin smiled but said nothing.
"White ape?"
"It is the white ape! I wanted to find Lord Liang to discuss with the White Ape King, but I couldn't find it for several days..."
Liang Qu shook his head repeatedly without waiting for Liu Shiqin to finish.
"Absolutely not. If a white ape is suddenly placed in the temple, wouldn't it become an obscene sacrifice?"
Liu Shiqin was stunned: "Why would Lord Liang think so? The so-called "obscene sacrifice" means "sacrificing something that is not supposed to be sacrificed", which means that it is not allowed to sacrifice something that should not be sacrificed.
The sage kings set up sacrifices: if the law is applied to the people, then sacrifice them; if they die in hard work, then sacrifice them; if they work hard to stabilize the country, then sacrifice them; if they can resist great disasters, then sacrifice them; if they can defend against great disasters, then sacrifice them.
The white ape saved the people from fire and water, and made contributions to the country. How can it be an obscene sacrifice when reported to the emperor?"
A county magistrate, who passed the imperial examination, has no problem with showing off some books.
Liang Qu was a little confused.
The books I've read recently are all biographies of wise ministers from ancient times, and I haven't heard of this part.
Liu Shiqin explained: "The holy king formulated the principle of sacrifice: anyone who is set as an example by the people should be sacrificed, anyone who died in the line of duty should be sacrificed, anyone who has made contributions to the stability of the country should be sacrificed, anyone who can prevent disasters for the public should be sacrificed, and anyone who can save the people from fire and water should be sacrificed.
Otherwise, many sacrifices to ancient wise ministers are obscene, after all, they belong to the human ghosts among the gods of heaven, earth, and human ghosts.
Human ghosts are mainly ancestors and clans, but the people's sacrifices to ancient wise ministers obviously have no clan connection."
Liang Qu's eyes flashed with a trace of vigilance.
He hasn't tricked Liu Shiqin yet, why does he feel like he's going to be tricked first?
Liu Shiqin was helpless.
"The letter from Lord Liang to the Hebo Office should still be on the way. In fact, this matter itself needs the approval of the Hebo Office. If you are really worried, you can write another letter and ask your colleagues, Shangguan."
