Chapter 344

"Father."

Cai Yong was instructing the servants to carry the belongings on the carriage, when he heard the call behind him, he turned around and slightly looked up at Ma Su, and said kindly, "Well, it's Su, what's the matter with me?"

"That...it's okay." Ma Di bowed his waist slightly, trying to keep his height as short as possible so that Cai Yong could look at him at the same level.

Seeing Ma Di's expression, Cai Yong knew that the adoptive son had something to do, so he gave him a few false nods, and went to the study with his hands behind his back, and when Ma Di followed, he stroked his beard and asked, "Well, what's the matter? "

Cai Yong still dotes on this bright, studious, well-behaved and sensible adopted son, no matter how you say it, he is considered a good old son.

Ma Su thought about it casually, and asked: "Father, I recently read the Analects and found a sentence: If you choose what is above, you will get what is in it; if you take what is in it, you will get what is below; Yes. I don’t know why?”

Speaking of this, Cai Yong regained his energy, stroked his beard and patiently explained: "This sentence means that if a person sets a high goal, even if he fails to achieve it in the end, it is still possible to reach the middle level; A middle-level goal, even if it is not achieved in the end, can reach a low level; if a low-level goal is set, it may not achieve any purpose.”

"Yeah." Ma Di nodded again and again, then suddenly changed the subject: "Father, can we not go to Luoyang?"

When he said this, Ma Su put one foot in the door and left the other outside the door. He was extra cautious, lest he speak too loudly or act madly, which would make Cai Yong lose his temper, and it would be a waste to hold him down. Plate fried meat.

These years, although he was well-behaved and sensible in front of Cai Yong, he still suffered many beatings.

This era seems to be especially popular with the saying "If you don't fight, you won't be successful, the more you fight, the more competitive you will be."On weekdays, as long as Cai Yong was at home or drinking a little wine, he didn't care whether Ma Di was well-behaved or sensible.

That is to say, since last year, when Ma Su jumped up and down, Cai Yong couldn't hold back the adopted son, so he saved a lot of boards.

In recent years, Ma Su has been cast into the shadows by Cai Yong.

Therefore, when he proposed to Cai Yong this time, he kept one foot outside the door.

Seeing that the situation is not good, just slip away.

A hero does not fight in front of his eyes.

Cai Yong glanced at Ma Di's strange standing posture, almost didn't laugh out loud, and said with a straight face pretending to be serious: "Oh, why did Su Er ask such a question?"

Listening to Cai Yong's words, Ma Su thought about it, and said: "Actually, the adoptive father can serve the country if he stays in Yanzhou. Liu Dai, the governor, is quite famous and has won the hearts of the people. It is better for the adoptive father to stay in his hometown. Do you want to be an official?"

"It's difficult, it's difficult." Cai Yong shook his head and sighed: "My son doesn't know something. He has studied for his father all his life, and he is not good at governing politics and the people. This Yanzhou has no place for his father to use his writing. Only in Luoyang, under the command of the emperor, Only then can you apply what you have learned in your life.”

This is true.

Looking at the positions held by Cai Yong in the original time and space, in the early days, he was a subordinate of Situ Yu, He Pingchang, doctor, Yilang and so on.After Dong Zhuo came to power, it was changed to sacrificial wine.Shi Yushi, Zhishu Shi Yushi, Shangshu, Shizhong, Zuo Zhonglang, etc., known as "Cai Zhonglang" in the world.

All these positions highlight a "talking but not hands".

"Oh..." Ma Di nodded, as if he suddenly remembered something, "Yes, the position of governor inspector is very suitable for foster father..."

Another name for the governor's inspection is Duyou.

Since Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty divided the whole country into 13 supervision areas, the world has been divided into thirteen prefectures, namely Ji, Yan, Yu, Qing, Xu, You, Bing, Liang, Jing, Yang, Yi, Shuofang, Jiaozhi (Gyeonggi) The nearby 7 counties are the Sili Xiaowei Department as a separate monitoring area).Each prefecture dispatches a governor to patrol the headquarters every August to monitor local officials and Qiangzong Haoyou, and report to Yushi Zhongcheng at the capital at the end of the year.At this time, the governor was the supervisor, with a rank of six hundred stones, which was lower than the rank of the county guard, which was two thousand stones.At this time, the state is only a supervisory area, not a local administrative area.

In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu invaded the south, abolished Shuofang Prefecture, and changed Jiaozhi Prefecture to Jiaozhou.At the same time, the authority of the governor is increased. For example, the governor himself does not have to go to the capital to perform affairs at the end of the year, but can be replaced by his subordinates. Therefore, the governor has a fixed office in the local area; his power is not limited to supervision, but also has the right to dismiss him and become the superior of the county guard. .

But after all, the governor does not govern the people and does not participate in local administration, so the state is still a supervisory area, not a local administrative organization.

After the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Quartet was troubled.In order to effectively suppress the Yellow Turban Army, the imperial court accepted Liu Yan's suggestion to elevate some governors to prefectural herdsmanship and endow civil and military administration with great power.The governor and the state herdsman combined the powers of civil administration, military administration, and supervision, and they could do their best to suppress the resurgence of the Yellow Turban Army.

And Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, was killed by the Yellow Turban bandits when he led his army to destroy the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou.

Therefore, Liu Dai, who is currently the governor of Yanzhou, is the undisputed boss of Yanzhou.Qiao Mao, governor of Rudong County, and Bao Xin, chancellor of Jinbei, were Liu Dai's direct subordinate officials. If they were disobedient, Liu Dai could directly dismiss them or even execute them.

Since Liu Hong launched the "state herds out of the town" policy at the end of last year, he gave the governor and the state herds military and political power.Therefore, Liu Dai has not yet equipped the administrative team that the governor should have.Cheng Yu is the only civil servant, Yu Jin is the only military commander, and Bao Xin is the chancellor of Jibei, who does not usually stay under Liu Dai's command.

In other words, there is a huge talent gap under Liu Dai's command, and the position of postal supervisor is very suitable for Cai Yong.

The only bad thing is that the position of the postal supervisor is a bit low.

After all, Duyou is only an official of 600 shi, and he is still an official under the governor; while Yushi and Yilang are paid [-] shi, and the above is the emperor.

It is clear at a glance which is higher and which is lower.

People go to high places, and water flows to low places. It is understandable that Cai Yong wanted to be an official in the court instead of staying in Yanzhou.

"Supervisor?" Cai Yong laughed, "My son really knows how to joke. Before being dismissed as his father, he was Yushi and Yilang. How did he manage to be the postmaster?"

"Officials don't distinguish between high and low. They all serve the people..." Ma Di muttered, and then said:
"Father, it's a long way to go to Luoyang, and the world is not peaceful. Can sister Yan and I stay in Chenliu's hometown?"

Cai Yong's face turned serious, and he reprimanded: "You two stay in Chenliu, how can you rest assured as a father? This time the whole family will go together!"

"Then foster father, how about you, my younger sister and brother Wei Shi go first? Can sister Yan and I come later?"

After a pause, Ma Di added: "It's enough to keep half of the servants to guard us, no more than fifteen days at the latest, and my sister and I must go to Luoyang."

"Well, that's it..." Cai Yong hesitated.

Ma Di continued, "My sister doesn't want to go with my elder brother." After finishing speaking, seeing Cai Yong's eyebrows twitch, he was about to go mad, and quickly added: "I don't want to go with my elder brother either."

Speaking of which, the Hedong Wei family is the descendant of the famous general Wei Qing and the famous Wei Zifu, and their reputation spread far and wide.Wei Zhongdao is also the second son of the Wei family, with a respected status, and he and Cai Yan can be regarded as close relatives.

But if both son and daughter object to this marriage, Cai Yong has to think about it.

After all, he is old, and in the future, he will have to rely on his adopted son to take care of the affairs of the family.It is rare that Ma Di is so assertive, and it is not easy to refute the face of this adopted son.

Seeing Cai Yong groaning silently, Ma Di thought that his words had offended Cai Yong, so he quickly laughed.

"If foster father disagrees, just pretend I didn't say anything, then I'll leave first..." Ma Di was about to run away.

"stop!"

"return!"

Cai Yong called Ma Di back with a cold face, and then said: "No more than ten days..."

"Okay! Thank you foster father!"

Ma Di cheered and ran away. The 1.7-meter-eight big man jumped and walked away like an eight-year-old child.

Cai Yong shook his head and couldn't stop laughing, and murmured to himself: "If you seek the top, you will get the middle, if you ask for the middle, you will get the bottom, and if you ask the bottom, you will get nothing... Hiss, Shuzi, let's go!"
