Chapter 6 Yinshan Khan

The local officials of the Great Sui Dynasty all had two teams, one was appointed by the Ministry of Personnel of the court, mainly the chief officials, such as the provincial officials, the governor, Sima, the chief officials, and the military waiting. The county was the county magistrate, the county magistrate and the county magistrate. These main officials were appointed by the Ministry of Personnel of the court, and many subordinate county officials were appointed by the county magistrate themselves.

But even if you set up your own business, it is basically recommended by local famous gentry, and used by county magistrates to win over local prominent families. However, Du Ruhui had never heard of the public examination recruitment, so he was a little stunned.

"General Yang, this is a bit inappropriate!" he hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Yang Yuanqing asked with a smile.

"There seems to be no precedent for recruiting officials in this exam, and if the Ministry of Personnel knows it, there may be complaints."

Yang Yuanqing could understand Du Ruhui's concerns. He had been working in the Ministry of Personnel. The nine-rank Zhongzheng for hundreds of years had become deeply rooted in his mind. He could not understand the significance of the public examination. Yang Yuanqing did not want to force him to accept it, nor did he want to shock the world. If he was in the mainland, he would not want to do this. In this way, the local tribes will be offended first.

But the city of Italy can do this.

"I understand the concerns of County Magistrate Du, but Dali County is a newly established county and was built out of thin air. Almost all county residents are immigrants. There are no local celebrities and no one will recommend them to us. If you don't take the exam, how do you know that Zhang San is capable and Li Si is knowledgeable. You can't come to someone who says he wants to be the chief clerk, so I'll let him be the chief clerk! There is always a standard, and I think they can understand it too. Besides, I am going to draw the yamen runners from the army. In fact, they are the assistants like the chief clerk of the Six Caos, at most, there are more than a dozen people."

Speaking of this, Yang Yuanqing's eyes showed a meaningful smile, "And the emperor would be very happy to recruit county officials after the public examination."

Du Ruhui himself is also a pragmatic and capable person, but he can't change some deeply rooted concepts for a while. He understood Yang Yuanqing's statement.

"I understand. I support the general's idea and recruit county officials in public exams."

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "I will transfer a few from the army to assist you, and you are fully responsible for this matter."

“I’m responsible?”

Du Ruhui was really stunned now. This was the power of the county magistrate to select officials. He actually gave it to him. He felt a little dizzy, but after a second thought, he realized that Yang Yuanqing was just a part-time county magistrate. He was a general of the town, and more importantly, a military position. He did not have the time and energy to take care of so many trivial matters in the area. I guess most of the errands in this county would be handed over to him.

As soon as he thought of this, Du Ruhui suddenly became energetic. He was a little depressed about being assigned to the bitter and cold land of the border. At this time, he suddenly realized that everything in Dali County started with a blank space. He could completely manage this new county according to his knowledge and philosophy and realize his ambitions. Where can I find such an opportunity?

He immediately gave Yang Yuanqing a deep bow. This was also the first time he gave Yang Yuanqing Chang. "My subordinates will not let down the general's love and do their best to manage Dali County."















At this time, it was already dark and dusk. Yang Yuanqing was exhausted all the way and wanted to go back to rest. At the same time, he was worried about Niu Niu, so he asked Yang Sien to arrange food and accommodation for several officials and go back to the mansion first.

His new house covers an area of ​​about four acres, and the main entrance is open on Qingzhou Street. It is a completely newly built house with no tree. This is why Yang Yuanqing is very uncomfortable, that is, there is no tree in the city, and it is bare and invisible to see the green. There is only houses and earthen streets. The giant stone mountain backed by it does not grow in grass, but there is a large forest several miles away.

When she walked into the house, she saw an eleven or twelve-year-old girl coming, wearing a green skirt and a pair of hairs, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes. She stepped forward to salute, "Is the young master Yang the county magistrate?"

It was both a young man and a master, but she was very clear. Yang Yuanqing looked at her and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am the master's maid, my name is Green Tea."

Yang Yuanqing was stunned. How could he have a maid? Who arranged it for him?

"Where are you from, and who arranged you here?"

"Report to the master, I am from Yanzhou, and it was Mrs. Fang who bought me and arranged me here."

Speaking of this, the little maid became a little nervous and her voice became timid. She was afraid that Yang Yuanqing would not want her, so she sent her back.

"Master, I'm eleven years old this year. I'm just a little short and I'm very capable." She said timidly.

Yang Yuanqing already knew that Mrs. Fang was Yang Sien'en's wife. This was arranged by Yang Sien and his wife for him. In fact, he did not like maids. He did not like being served by others. He had liked a free life since he was a child. When he was in the capital, he refused the maids arranged by Yang's mansion for him. But he also knew in his heart that he was now the general manager of a county and a military town, including him and his subordinates, and he had gradually stabilized, and he had to gradually adapt to another kind of life.

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "You just stay! Also, don't call me master, just call me master."

Green Tea was extremely happy, so she quickly took out a note and handed it to Yang Yuanqing, "This is what the girl gave to the young master."

Yang Yuanqing was a little surprised. What did Niu Niu do for his note? He opened the note and saw a sentence written on it, 'From today, don't call me Niu Niu anymore, call me Qianchen.'

Yang Yuanqing laughed. Today, Liu Jian and Fat Yu Niu Niu were long and Niu Niu called her shortly, which made her a little unhappy.

"How is the girl now?"

"The girl's head is a little hot. She has already drank a bowl of ginger soup and is she asleep. Do you want to see her?"

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "Let her sleep! I'm a little tired, too."

He pulled his body for a long time and walked towards the inner house. Green Tea followed behind and smiled, "Young Master, I can make Hu cakes, let me make some Hu cakes for you!"

"Okay! Go and buy me a pot of wine and two side dishes."



















On a grassland with lush grassland on the southern foot of Yin Mountain, there are endless tents, with tens of thousands of roofs in all sizes. This is where the tent of the Khan Yishubo of Xueyantuo. Among all the tents, there is a huge wool dome tent. Next to the big tent, there is a golden wolf-headed banner hanging on a high flagpole. This is the king flag of Xueyantuo Khan. This big tent is also the king tent of the Khan.

Xueyantuo Khan Yi Shibo is about forty years old this year. He is tall and extremely strong. He was originally the leader of the Xue tribe. Since he was twenty years old, he led the soldiers of his headquarters to continuously invade the Yantu tribe, gradually annexing it, and finally formed the most powerful Xueyantu tribe in Tiele. There were more than 500,000 tribes and more than 100,000 soldiers in armor.

This time there was a snow disaster in Jinshan. Yi Shibo was forced to lead the tribe to move south. Yi Shibo also knew that the south of Yinshan was the sphere of influence of the Sui Dynasty, but the Sui Dynasty did not actually control the south of Yinshan. Their actual control line was on the line of the North Yellow River. Yi Shibo took advantage of this loophole and moved the tribe to the south of Yinshan. At the same time, he sent someone to inform the Sui army's Fengzhou chief manager Yu Juluo. They just stayed for a short time and after spring, they would return to Jinshan.

Although Yi Shibo carefully controlled the tribe and did not harass the Sui realm, he could not control his youngest son. Shi Duo continued to lead the tribe to harass Fengzhou, burn, kill and loot, which made him angry and annoyed, but had no choice but to apologize to Yu Juluo.

But he never expected that in this cold winter, he would hear the news of his beloved youngest son's death, and at this moment, his heart was about to be broken.

Yi Shibo knelt in front of his son's bow and arrow. He had been kneeling for two hours, as if he had turned into a statue. He was over forty years old and could not bear the blow of losing his son in his later years. His heart suddenly grew ten years old, and the god of death was already waving to him.

Behind him, there was a man standing at the door of the big tent, a young man as tall as him and full of toughness. This was his eldest son Yi Nan and the successor to the position of Xue Yantuo Khan.

Yi Nan had been standing behind his father for half an hour. He was waiting for his father to recover from his grief. There were too many things on the grassland that lost his son, husband and father. This kind of thing was common. For Yi Nan, the death of his brother Shi Duo could no longer touch his grief. On the contrary, he had a more or less a joy to relieve himself. Although Shi Duo was his own brother, Shi Duo was also the person he hated the most. Not only did he compete with him for the position of Khan's successor, three years ago, Shi Duo killed his son after drinking and snatched his beloved woman. He has not yet revenged this revenge.

Since Shu Duo died, the hatred was resolved in his heart.

"Father Khan, I'll go to Dali City and get the body of Shiduo back!"

"He killed my two sons!" Yi Shibo murmured to himself.

"Father Khan, we cannot offend the Sui Dynasty. The Western Turks have been suspicious of us. The Eastern Turks are eyeing us, and there is also Qiezi and us fighting for the Lord of Tiel. If we offend the Sui Dynasty again, we will be in a situation of being attacked from all sides."

"He killed my two sons!" Yi Shibo seemed to hear nothing, and was still talking to himself.

"Father Khan, he died in the Sui territory of Fengzhou. You should first consider how to explain to the Sui Dynasty!" Yi Nan's tone became stern.

Yi Shibo was silent, as if he was trapped in an endless darkness and could not find a way back.

"Yang Yuanqing, you killed my two sons!" Yi Shibo's face suddenly became ferocious, and his tone became extremely fierce, just like he was possessed by a demon in the dark.

Yi Nan shook his head, turned around and walked out of his father's tent, and looked at the weak sunset in the west horizon. He breathed a long breath of worry. The death of Shi Duo was caused by his own fault, but his father seemed to have lost his mind for him. This was a very unwise sign.

At this time, Datou Khan had just died, and the grassland was at the most complex and changeable moment. It was wise to keep friendly with the Sui Dynasty and gain support. His father seemed to have been blinded by hatred, which made Yi Nan very depressed.

At this moment, Yi Shibo walked out of the tent, the ferocious face was no longer there, and his expression became very calm, "I want to go to Dali City in person to get back to the body of Shi Duo."
