Chapter 574 Qin Li in the Xiangting Pavilion
----

"Boy, I would like to serve as a small official in the rural pavilion and work among the rural pavilions to hone my Legalist scholarship!"

Bowing deeply to Xiang He, Xun Shaoyu looked without hesitation and chose to go down to the village pavilion, hang out with the village officials, and further understand the true meaning of Legalism.

Of course, this is an obvious reason. Yuanshi Tianzun asked Xun Shaoyu to come to Xianqin, not to let him work hard to prove the so-called three immortals in Xianqin.

Xun Shaoyu, who has already realized a "Hunyuan Dao Fruit", who has fully grasped the wonderful innate supernatural power of "coexisting with the world", cannot be indifferent to the "Three Immortals" of the hundreds of schools of thought. Industry.

After all, Immortal Qin Zulong has become a thorn in the flesh of many people, including Yuanshi Great Heavenly Lord.Taking advantage of the opportunity of being entangled with Zhulong, Yuanshi Great Heavenly Lord simply used his ancestral name, Xian Qin, as a battlefield between the two parties, and took the advantage of being the first mover.

At that time, no matter whether Xun Shaoyu can finally become powerful or not, he will be wrestling with the Ancestral Dragon Xian Qin. The two parties will fight and completely collapse the twelve capitals of Xian Qin. Except for the great magical power of the Dragon Clan, there will never be anyone. Anyone feels sorry.

As for whether Xun Shaoyu can become the final beneficiary after the collapse of the Ancestral Dragon Immortal Qin as expected, it still depends on the game between the parties.

The so-called Destiny of Ba Chu and Destiny of God does not mean that Xun Shaoyu can sit back and relax, and the blessing of one billionth of Destiny cannot affect the overall situation.

"Oh?"

As if he was very satisfied with Xun Shaoyu's decisiveness, Xiang He showed a smile on his face and nodded: "Compared with studying hard and studying hard, it is not a good idea for you to go to the rural pavilion to work as a small official." A way out.”

"Well... you go back and wait for the news. Within three days at most, an official document will be issued from the county. It is impossible for the upper-class townships. There may be a vacancy for you in the middle-to-lower townships."

To ordinary tribesmen, it was a big deal, related to the future, but in Xiang He's eyes, it was not a big deal at all and could be decided with just one word.

Today's Xiang family may not be as prosperous as the ancient Chu Dynasty, but there are still three pounds of nails in the rotten ship, and personnel transfers in the county cannot be made without asking the opinions of the Xiang family and other big families.

The following forces of the Xiang family, as well as the influence of the old patriarch Xiang He, as long as they are not important positions in the county, some less important positions, and even positions at the township pavilion level, are basically controlled by their hands.

Moreover, any procedures in this process are carried out strictly in accordance with the Xianqin standards. They cannot attract criticism from others and are impeccable in terms of procedures.

This is the power of large households rooted in a county. It seems that there are no loopholes in the Xianqin system, but the people who implement the Xianqin laws themselves have loopholes. There are many opinions on how to implement the Xianqin laws.

You know, in the county or the center, what the top eye can see and touch is more, and it may be a little restrained.However, at the county, township, and pavilion levels of Xianqin, the attention has plummeted, and it is not difficult to imagine the number of manipulations that can be done.

"Thank you for your uncle's advice. I will go back and prepare my luggage. I will wait for the official documents from the county government at any time. I will go to my post as soon as the official documents from the county government arrive."

As soon as Xun Shaoyu heard Xiang He's tone, he knew that the assigned position would not be too low. It was absolutely impossible for the three elders in the village, but there were three important positions: rank, stingy husband, and Youyou, so it was not impossible for him to get involved.

"Well... you go ahead," Xiang He nodded, his eyelids drooping slightly, looking at the numerous ancestral tablets with a look of absence on his face, as if he was lost in thought.

Xun Shaoyu looked solemn, bowed his hands and bowed, and said in a deep voice: "No!!"

Although Xun Shaoyu decided to go to Xiangting and then return to Xiaxiang County, it was impossible without certain opportunities and certain achievements. He was sent to the countryside in disguise, but he was still happy to do so.

This will be a leap for Xun Shaoyu to deeply understand the laws of Xian Qin. From being a white person in Xian Qin, he will become a low-level official in charge of the laws. His status in the Xian Qin system is completely different.

…………

According to the system of Xian Qin, there is one pavilion in ten miles, one township in ten pavilions, and one hundred and twenty townships in one county. The counties guard the county government. This framework is arranged layer by layer, which is the basis of the administrative counties of Xian Qin.

From this, the pavilion has the pavilion chief, the pavilion father, and the thief, the village has the three elders, the rank, the stingy husband, and the wanderer, the county has the county magistrate, the county lieutenant, and the county magistrate, and the county has the county governor, the county lieutenant, and the county supervisor.

Caomen Township is a medium-sized township in the northwest of Xiaxiang County. It encompasses ten pavilions and governs 250 households in Guizhou Province.Among the [-] townships under Xiaxiang County, Caomen Township's population, tax revenue, products, etc. are all relatively mediocre.

However, this middle-sized township in this county, Caomen Township, which is not among the top [-] among the [-] townships, has extraordinary significance in Xun Shaoyu's eyes.

Xiang He's position for Xun Shaoyu's activities was within Caomen Township, and his status was not low.It happened that there was a vacancy in a high-ranking position in Caomen Township, so Xiang He assigned Xun Shaoyu to this important position second only to the three elders.

"There are three elders in the village. The second one is the rank, the third one is the stingy husband, and the third one is the youyou. Among them, the three elders are the most noble. The rank is in charge of criminal law, the stingy husband is in charge of taxation, and the youyou department is in charge of detecting theft."

"This Caomen Township has a high-ranking position, which is very suitable for me. It governs the Qin laws of more than [-] households in the head of Guizhou. It is the most suitable for me to study the "Dharma Classic"."

"drive,"

Xun Shaoyu was wearing a black robe, with the Mo Lin horse running wildly under his crotch. Under the strong wind, the black robe made a hunting sound, echoing the sound of the Mo Lin horse's hooves.

"drive,"

There are three black-armored horses behind them. As Xun Shaoyu rides his horse and whips his whip, between the hooves of the Mo Lin horse, ink clouds bloom under their hooves.

The strong wind whistled, blowing Xun Shaoyu's hair, adding a bit of freedom and ease. Xun Shaoyu's attitude of riding his horse and whipping his whip was really like a free and uninhibited madman.

"Sir, this is the boundary monument of Caomen Township, and beyond that is the boundary of Shangyu Township."

A cavalryman suddenly reined in the reins, causing the horse to neigh. The whip in his hand pointed directly at an ancient stele embedded in the rocks. Xun Shaoyu, who was galloping on the horse, shouted.

"boundary marker?"

Hearing the sound, Xun Shaoyu quickly reined in the reins, and Mo Lin's horse hoofs raised a few sparks. After taking a look at the surrounding mountains, his eyes turned to the boundary monument of Caomen Township.

Inscribed on several ancient Immortal Qin seal scripts is the word 'Caomen'. Each of the ancient Immortal Qin seal scripts reveals a layer of hazy aura, which is indescribably grand.

Xun Shaoyu walked around Caomen Township, inside and out. Caomen Township, which was only a hundred miles in radius, was under the hooves of Mo Lin's horse, which traveled thousands of miles a day, in less than an hour.

Seeing this stone tablet, Xun Shaoyu chuckled softly and said: "Mo Lin Horse is indeed one of the 81 finest horse breeds in Xian Qin. If we go back and forth, we will be able to cover a hundred miles of Caomen Township!"

Today, Xun Shaoyu has not yet taken office. The three black-armored knights behind him are the confidants Su Wei assigned to Xun Shaoyu by the Xiang family. They are the backbone of the force used to control the ten pavilions of Caomen Township.

After all, although the laws of Xian Qin are so strict that they are almost inhumane, the laws are implemented and observed by people. The prerequisite of 'rule of law' is 'rule of people'.

The squires in Shiting in Caomen Township have long formed a stable order. The three elders, Youzhi, Shifu, and Youyou each have their own interests. The three elders are the three largest among Ten Pavilions in Caomen Township. Squire, the three largest forces.

If Xun Shaoyu came empty-handed, without any bodyguards or followers, and without any imposing manner, even if he came from the Xiang family, he would be looked down upon by his colleagues in the countryside.

With these three knights in hand, Xun Shaoyu's confidence suddenly became stronger. On the one hand, the strength of the three black-armored knights, and on the other hand, was the strength of Xiang's support for Xun Shaoyu. Who dares to underestimate Xun Shaoyu even if he is a powerful person?

This is to establish a firm foothold. As long as it operates for more than ten years, it can be fully integrated into Caomen Township. If it continues for a hundred years in Caomen Township, the three elders of the township may not be without a seat.

As for being promoted to the Xiaxiang County system, it is impossible. Unless Xun Shaoyu can make an astonishing breakthrough in the "Book of Laws", become a legal school of his own academically, and have a great reputation, then there is a glimmer of possibility. .

"The governance of Shiting in Caomen Township is generally good. The previous one, Youzhi, seems to be a capable person who is well versed in the laws of Xian Qin's Dharma Scripture."

Xun Shaoyu stroked the horse's back with one hand and raised his eyes to look around. He had read hundreds and eighty thousand volumes of the Dharma Sutra, and what he saw and heard was completely different from ordinary people.

From Xun Shaoyu's own perspective, in the ten pavilions in Caomen Township, each pavilion chief, pavilion father, Qiu Pi, etc. are consistent with the laws of the township, and they also echo the laws of Xiaxiang County.

The entire Caomen Township is covered with a tight legal net. The provisions of the legal net are clearly visible, and every legal provision carries astonishing power.

This force is not magical power, nor is it the dragon energy of Immortal Qin. It is the power gathered by the attachment of human hearts within the laws of Immortal Qin. Under the people's hearts, the momentum is unstoppable.

"This is the power of Xian Qin Human Dao Longting. Pavilions, townships, counties, prefectures, and the central government are all clearly differentiated and can echo each other. A single move can affect the whole body. Compared with the strict control of Xian Qin, the so-called imperial power If you don’t go to the countryside, it would be a bit ridiculous.”

The deeper Xun Shaoyu went into Xian Qin, the more he realized the terrifying control of Xian Qin's laws and regulations, ranging from the entire scholar-peasant, industry, and commerce to a single person's birth, old age, illness, and death.

It is like an endless river of fate, encompassing the fate of billions of creatures in the Immortal Qin Dynasty. The vast river stretches endlessly, and every word and deed is included in it.

This is the world of Immortal Qin Huanghuang, woven with various laws and regulations. As a supporting yardstick, it firmly controls all directions. The rules and regulations are clear and the slightest mistake will be shattered to pieces.

…………

Caomen Township, Township Office!
As soon as the sun set in the middle, Shifu Tieshi and Youyou Guo Hai led dozens of small and medium-sized township officials, all with horizontal knives on their waists, waiting quietly in front of the township office for the arrival of the new appointee in the township.

Because Xian Qin admires black, dozens of people are all dressed in black, and the whole area is covered in black robes. The cold and solemn faces of these village officials are all awe-inspiring.

"Hasn't the official who took office in the county arrived yet?" The stingy iron master frowned deeply, looking at the empty streets where no cars or horses had passed, and suppressing the annoyance in his heart.

"Could it be that something happened to the newly appointed Youzhi that delayed his schedule?" Youyou Guohai showed hesitation, and at a certain moment, his thoughts and ideas with Chefu Tieshi unexpectedly coincided.

These two people obviously didn't know that Xun Shaoyu, the newly appointed minister, would not come to the township office first, but would take his servants and guards to visit the ten pavilions and hundreds of miles of Caomen Township.

"This is impossible... Qin Law has its own regulations, which stipulates the time limit for Qin officials and Qin officials to take office. Once the time limit is exceeded, not only will the official position be lost, but also the heads will be thrown away."

"Under such a strict law, does the newly appointed Youchi really dare to knowingly commit a crime and not be afraid of getting a higher penalty?" Just as Chefu Tieshi and Youyou Guo Hai were thinking wildly, bursts of horse hoofbeats suddenly echoed. .

"drive,"

A young man in black robes held a riding whip in his hand and rushed out of the street at the head of the horse. Three black-armored cavalry followed closely behind. The four cavalry were running like thousands of horses and thousands of troops, and they had a tense atmosphere.

Seeing the graceful appearance of the four cavalry, Youyou Guo Hai couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, especially when he saw Mo Lin's horse, he quickly said: "This is the newly appointed Lord Youzhi. Colleagues, please come up with me to pay homage."

"When I traveled to Guo Hai, I met Master Youzhi!"

Youyou Guo Hai is shrewd and capable, and he knows that people who can ride Molin horses are usually either big families in the county, or people with big backgrounds behind them. No matter what the possibility is, he, Youyou, cannot afford to offend him.

After visiting Guohai to see the ceremony, Iron Master Chefu and dozens of Qin officials from the township office watched the young man riding his horse. Their hearts moved inexplicably. They bowed their hands and paid homage to each other, saying: "Iron Master Chefu and the officials from Caomen Township, I’ve met Lord Youzhi,”

Although Xun Shaoyu's current position of Youzhi has been coveted by Chefu Tieshi and Youyou Guo Hai, now that Xun Shaoyu has taken up the position of Youzhi, it is a done deal, leaving Chefu Tieshi and Youyou Guo Hai to have No matter how unwilling I am, I dare not offend Xun Shaoyu.

The current system of officials in Xian Qin does not allow the two people, Tie Shi and You Guo Hai, to be disrespectful. Even if they are dissatisfied with Xun Shaoyu, the new official who came down from the county, he still needs to do superficial work. of.

It should be noted that a township has an extraordinary position in the Qin Dynasty. If the three elders in the township could not overpower Youzhi, Youzhi is already the head of the township and has some weight in the entire Xiangxiang County.

Without the help of the Xiang family, it would have been impossible for Xun Shaoyu to suddenly take charge of a rural area at such an age.Even if there are three elders in the township to check and balance, the authority of a township cannot be underestimated.

If the Xiang family's connections hadn't helped Xun Shaoyu get a high-ranking position in the village, considering Xun Shaoyu's own talents and learning, he was only as long as a pavilion at most, and it would have been impossible for Xun Shaoyu to sit in a high-ranking position.

This is the bane of Xian Qin's laws. The laws must ultimately be maintained by people, but people know how to adapt. Within the scope allowed by the laws, they are enough to do certain things outside the laws.

"Two of you, are you the stingy iron master and Youyou Guo Hai from Caomen Township?" Faced with the greetings of his staff, Xun Shaoyu got off his horse, followed by three knights who also got off their horses. Lead the horse forward a few steps.

As he spoke, Xun Shaoyu's eyes opened and closed, and a ray of light flickered, seeming to shine into people's hearts, making people feel a little afraid.
