Quanzhen Little Daoist starts

Chapter 211
Qiu Zhiqing refused at first!
The job given to him is Pingcheng county magistrate, where is Pingcheng?

In Yanmen County, which is more than 2000 miles away, is the Datong City of later generations.

It's just that this world is much bigger, the people are much stronger, and the roads are naturally much more developed. Only then can the big man rule such a vast land of China.

For Qiu Zhiqing's non-cooperation, this was something Chang Shan Guoxiang did not expect.

After thinking for a while, based on Qiu Zhiqing's actions, he came up with a set of excuses that the people on the border were in poverty and no one wanted to be an official.

He also resorted to aggressive methods against Qiu Zhiqing, thinking that he was dedicated to serving the people, but unexpectedly he is also a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death...

Qiu Zhiqing rolled his eyes when he heard such a clumsy aggressive method.

But he took it!

At this moment, he recalled Zhang Jiao's sentence in his mind: joining the WTO will only add to the calamity of swords and soldiers, but if you don't join the world, the calamity of Dao Xin will come to you!
Thinking back on my past, I am happy, I have been dissatisfied with the world, and helpless, and I think I have done my part, but there is still one thing missing...

A sense of participation, follow the trend, and fiddle with things, of course there is much less cause and effect.

But it also makes myself less of the gradual staining of the world of mortals, doesn't it?

It seems that I have never really entered the world of mortals, nor have I rolled around in the world of mortals. It seems that I am in the world of mortals, but my heart is outside the world of mortals!

Thinking of this, Qiu Zhiqing suddenly realized, perhaps, this is an opportunity for him to go further?
Seeing Qiu Zhiqing nodding, the Prime Minister of Chang Shan Kingdom also heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, if Qiu Zhiqing refused, wouldn't he be wasting one of Changshan Country's filial piety quotas this year, so it would be a blow to his political reputation.

Now that the business has been settled, it's time for small talk.

Through the conversation with the Prime Minister of the State, he knew that he was originally listed as the county magistrate of Zhending.

After all, the county magistrate Zhending died at the beginning of the year...

The prime minister of the country didn't have a famous saying about what he died of, but he squeaked and used the plague to take it.

And according to the Prime Minister, there are not a few officials who died in the line of duty during this pandemic.

That's why no one robbed him, and the previous Pingcheng County Magistrate was different. He died when the Xianbei invaded last winter, defending the city and martyred his country.

Qiu Zhiqing was dumbfounded, he was thinking just now whether he should seal his mana and practice in the world.

As a result, the Prime Minister of Chang Shan gave himself such a critical blow.

But with his mind set, he planned to go all the way.

After taking the documents, Qiu Zhiqing bid farewell to the Prime Minister of Changshan Kingdom, but did not go to pay respects to Liu Hao, the ruler of Changshan Kingdom. These days, the rulers of the vassal states have little power.

Go visit, everyone is in needless trouble!
It was early October when Qiu Zhiqing brought Zheng Yan back to Zhenyi Temple. After talking about his encounter with Tong Yuan, he asked him if he wanted to go with him.

"I won't go. My disciple's parents are both there. It's a helpless thing to let him go up the mountain to clean up with me. If I have to go to Yanmen, which is thousands of miles away, I'm afraid of him..."

Qiu Zhiqing smiled and didn't speak, he just asked the question casually.

After all, the first fellow who came here didn't even say hello, so it seemed unreasonable to go straight away, so he came back to pick up some things to take up the post.

"In this way, I will entrust the poor Taoist to my brother. This is the method of making incense sticks. If I have time, I will help the poor Taoist to offer a few sticks of incense to the ancestor. There is no need for other tributes. Don't be hungry..."

Qiu Zhiqing bid farewell to Tong Yuan, and Qiu Zhiqing went to Bingzhou along Jingxing.

He needs to go to Taiyuan first, report to the Bingzhou Governor's Department, and then go to Yanmen to take office.

All the way was safe and sound. Starting from Zhending County, Changshan, passing Shangai (Yangquan) is the territory of Taiyuan County in Bingzhou.

From Zhending to Taiyuan in Bingzhou, the road is okay, but going north from Taiyuan is not so good.

To the north of Taiyuan County is Yanmen County.

The current governor of Bingzhou is named Zhang Yi, a very energetic little old man, seeing Qiu Zhiqing looking young, he cursed inwardly.

Qiu Zhiqing's age, if you say it, you can be his grandfather!

It just looks young, which is caused by exercises.

After receiving the seal and ribbon of Pingcheng, he went to Pingcheng to take up his post. During the period of Yanmen in the Kingdom of Jin, it was inevitable to pay homage to his boss, the prefect of Yanmen County, Guo Yan.

Guo Yan was quite happy that the imperial court thought of assigning officials to Yanmen. The place of Pingcheng (Datong) was indeed not suitable for the younger generation of the clan to go.

The officials are already empty, and if they are promising, who will push their own juniors into the pit of fire?
Not to mention that there were so many seats vacant at the beginning of the year, otherwise it would not be Qiu Zhiqing's turn, right?
Guo Yan told Qiu Zhiqing about the situation in Pingcheng, and asked Qiu Zhiqing what request he had.
The entire Yanmen County has a population of less than 30, and among the twelve Yanmen counties, Pingcheng has the smallest population, less than [-].

Although it had been expected, this result was somewhat beyond Qiu Zhiqing's expectations.

The entire Yanmen has only [-] soldiers, while Pingcheng has [-] or [-] troops.

Originally, Qiu Zhiqing was still looking forward to it, but after arriving in Pingcheng, he discovered that the biggest one in the entire county was a thief Cao, that is, a head catcher or something.

The county town is full of two thousand soldiers and horses, less than three hundred, and the population is said to be less than twenty thousand, but in fact it is only five thousand...

It is indeed less than [-]!

It is now November, and the top priority is to prevent Xianbei from going south.

The good news is that there are still frontier troops in the north. The bad news is that the frontier troops in the north were dispersed by Xianbei last year...

The good news is that there is Yanmen County in the south as the backing. The bad news is that the guards of Yanmen County regard the Yanmen Pass behind Pingcheng as the focus of guarding.

In other words, Pingcheng is lonely outside Yanmen Pass...

Now even Qiu Zhiqing couldn't help but burst out, no wonder no children from aristocratic families were willing to come to this place, no wonder his Zhending county magistrate would be pushed away!

But since it is here, it will be safe. The most urgent task is to integrate the forces in the county.

Otherwise, once Xianbei attacked, he could escape, but the people in this city...

In this way, even if I practice in the future, it will be extremely difficult...

Qiu Zhiqing looked at the military marquis surnamed Wu in front of him. He was a bit big-headed. There were originally 2000 people in a battalion in the garrison, and the leader should be a general or a school lieutenant. Now there is only one military marquis left.

There are two hundred soldiers in command of the army, which happens to be a song...

Qiu Zhiqing said to Zheng Yan, his registered disciple and deputy, "Shuya, you and Wu Junhou will send the grain to the storehouse first, and then notify the county officials to discuss matters at the county government office!"

Uncle Ya is the son of Zheng Yan, who is the rock, Ya also!

The assistance given to Qiu Zhiqing by the governor of Yanmen was food, and the convenience given to Qiu Zhiqing by the governor of Bingzhou was to let him nominate candidates for the office.

Qiu Zhiqing was the first to make Zheng Yan the master of Pingcheng!
