Dawei Fanghua

Chapter 71 Unless

Qin Liang, who had been ignored before, seems to have attracted a lot of attention recently.I have just met Master Sima, and Gao Rou wants to see him again.

Early the next morning, Qin Liang arrived at the school affairs office for the first time. As soon as he took office, he received a letter from Gao Rou, inviting him to have lunch at Tingwei Mansion.

Gao Rou is Tingwei, one of the Nine Qings.Tingwei is the official in charge of punishment and prison, and he should later evolve into the minister of Dali Temple.The current Tingwei is actually more powerful than the later Dali Temple Minister, because there are only five Cao Cao in Shangshu Province and there is no Ministry of Punishment yet.

Cao Wei's central institutions were evolving into a system of three provinces and six ministries. At that time, Cao Cao seemed to have the intention of centralizing power.However, the current system of three provinces and six ministries is far from mature, so it is normal that Shangshu Province does not have a Ministry of Punishment.

The relationship between Sima Shi, Gao Rou, Cao Shuang, and school officials seemed a bit complicated, and Qin Liang couldn't figure it out at the moment.Moreover, he woke up very early today and felt a little sleepy. He was already in the school office and he still felt groggy.

The school office is relatively close to the palace. Sure enough, it was originally set up to serve the emperor nearby.Qin Liang came here for the first time today. Under the guidance of the school officials, he visited various places in the mansion.

There were more than ten school officials who came to visit. There were so many people that Qin Liang couldn't remember most of their names.But he remembered one person in particular, named Yin Mo, and others called him "Yin Dianxiao".

Qin Liang found that the school officials were most respectful to this Yin model and spoke with him in a slightly lower volume. Qin Liang immediately guessed that this guy might be a local gangster of the school office.Yin Mo is a big man with a beard, and his head is shaped like a winter melon, which is a bit strange anyway. There is a fierce light in his eyes, and he is not a kind person at first glance.

But at present, Yin Mo is still giving Qin Liang some face on the surface, and Qin Liang is not in a hurry to find trouble with him.

Although Qin Liang is tall, his first impression on the warriors is usually not much of a deterrent. For example, when Qin Liang first met the military commanders in Shouchun, no one gave him face, and some people wanted to directly intimidate him.The main reason is that Qin Liang is too young and has fair skin, which can give people the illusion of being inexperienced in the world. Moreover, his resume has experience as a scholar and an official, which means he has direct civil service experience.

Yin Mo, a fierce local snake, was able to give Qin Liang face, probably because of his official position as the chief official of the school affairs order.

The current government is not like that of later generations, where various constraints and preventive officials form a mountain. The current chief official has great power and almost has absolute power over his assistants and subordinate officials.Not all chief officials have the power of life and death, but the personnel power of appointing and dismissing subordinate officials is relatively stable.

Qin Liang has been observing the Wei Dynasty for so long, and he believes that the way in which government power is distributed at this time may be related to paper.A system with complex checks and balances that needs to be effective requires a large amount of official documents for written work. With the current situation where bamboo slips are still the popular writing method, such a situation is simply unbearable. Office communication is conducted in a large number of oral ways. A simple and clear organizational method is required, otherwise it will easily fall into chaos.

Therefore, even if Qin Liang is a civil servant, these assistant officers and subordinates are definitely asking for trouble if they want to have trouble with the chief officer.Even if the chief officer cannot defeat him, he will be fired directly in anger, unless he has connections and a higher-ranking official directly under him to forcibly protect him.

As soon as Qin Liang thought of that "unless", Yin Mo said, "I am in the General's Mansion, why haven't I seen the Lord?"

"Uh..." Qin Liang stood there immediately, turned around and said, "Before the end of the third year of Jingchu, I was in the General's Mansion almost every day for several months, but then I went to Huainan, not Luoyang."

Yin Mo suddenly said: "I see. No wonder, my servant seemed to have been out of Luoyang on errands at that time."

Qin Liang and Yin Mo stood still, and the people who were shouting in front and behind stopped.

At this time, Qin Liang pointed to the shack not far away where the iron chains were clanking, and asked casually, "Is there a cell in the school office?"

Yin Mo replied: "Yes, I will take the prince to inspect it later."

Qin Liang nodded and stood for a while watching the scene of iron chain beating.He looked at the man pulling the bellows, and saw that the man pulled the wooden handle out very far, almost leaving the bellows called "搐", and then he swayed hard and pushed it to the bottom, so the air flowed from the bellows called "龠". "The pipe is connected, and the charcoal fire in the stove is burning very brightly.It should take some strength to do that job.Qin Liang was already groggy. Seeing such skilled work, he couldn't help but feel a little distracted, as if he had become the man pulling the bellows.The amplitude is large and the distance is long, the bellows blowing makes a very dull sound, and the flames of the burning iron in the stove make a "whooshing" sound.

It was originally a simple and boring chain-making scene, but Qin Liang insisted on standing and watching. Everyone had no choice but to accompany him.

After a while, Qin Liang finally came back to his senses, and was immediately a little annoyed at his distraction and confusion.He thought to himself that he could no longer indulge in the happy time of squatting at home all day long. Even if he didn't like this kind of place, he still had to bite the bullet and make a living outside. After all, he was already the backbone of the Qin family.

Thinking back on it, in his previous life, he liked to stay at home and didn't like to socialize very much. His likes and dislikes seem to have continued to this day.It's just that whether it's in the past life or now, survival is always the first prerequisite to be considered.

Qin Liang then calmed down, faced the people who had stopped, and said: "To be honest, many people in the court originally wanted to abolish the school affairs office, but they have not done so for the time being. I came to make the school affairs order because I hope The school affairs office can do something and retain it, but if it fails, then everyone will find a way out."

With a few simple words, everyone immediately started talking, looking at Qin Liang with complicated eyes from time to time.Just as Qin Liang thought before, the government institutions of the Wei Dynasty were not really developed, mature and perfect. For example, there was almost no system for dealing with the aftermath of unemployed officials, whether military generals or civil servants.In the end, everyone can only find their own way out, just like the eight immortals crossing the sea to show their magical powers.

It's okay if you are a marquis with a settlement. Generally, the title will not be cancelled. Some titles can be hereditary. You can continue to settle down when you return home.Or like Qin Liang's clan brother, when he was an official, he took money but did nothing, made a lot of money, and became a rich man when he returned home.There are also aristocratic families that have usurped a large amount of land and people. They will still be landowners when they return home. Moreover, if their children pass the Zhongzheng official evaluation, it is very likely that someone in the family will become an official.

However, most of these school officials have not very good backgrounds, and many of them have bad backgrounds. If they lose their jobs, they may have to return to their original shape.What it was, back to the past in minutes.

Qin Liang is not just scary in words, the school affairs itself is the emperor's tool. Now the emperor's words have no effect, and it is becoming more and more possible to abolish the school affairs office.What's more, there are indeed many nobles who have always been very dissatisfied with the school affairs office.

The real situation is scary. Just shouting will not scare anyone.Seeing that everyone was frightened and under pressure to survive, Qin Liang felt secretly satisfied.

Qin Liang didn't say much. After saying a few words, he walked away, and everyone followed him.He himself was also very tired of the previous boss of the company who said, "Let me simply say two points." It was just a few words without the need to separate one or two points.

He walked around the entire mansion and told everyone to just go and do whatever they usually do. He didn't give any specific instructions and didn't care about anything.After all, the school affairs order is a newly established official position, and they could operate normally before Qin Liang's arrival.

Qin Liang came to Di Ge and asked people to bring over all the files with recent written records and read the files first.

Soon it was approaching noon, he took Gao Rou's letter, left the palace, and ordered a car to be prepared to go to Tingwei's mansion.The person in charge of carriages and horses today was Wang Kang, but there was a school officer who brought a team of people and offered to accompany them for protection.

Qin Liang has always had no one to protect him, and he doesn't seem to need it much. He's still a little used to it, but thinking about it, it would be okay to strengthen his fifth-grade reputation.

He asked the enthusiastic school official: "What's your name? There were too many people at first, and I couldn't remember so many people at once."

The school officer is young, estimated to be close to 30 years old. He has a good appearance, with a lean body and a handsome face.He cupped his hands and said, "Pu Yinci."

Qin Liang asked casually: "Are Yinfan and you related?"

Yinci shook his head and said, "Probably not. I have never had any relationship with Yinfan."

Qin Liang asked no more questions.The main reason was that the surname Yin was very rare, so he asked. If the other person's surname was Zhang or Wang, Qin Liang would not even ask.Moreover, Yinfan was also a spy of Wei State at that time, and he was very successful.

"Ask the kitchen to leave some food for you. I won't be back until lunch." Qin Liang said and walked onto the carriage.

It's still a bit far to get to Tingwei's Mansion. You have to walk almost the entire east-west street south of the palace, cross the intersection of Tuoling Street, and reach the eastern part of Luoyang City.But depending on the sun, I think we can make it in time for lunch.

A group of people entered Tingwei's Mansion, and the entourage stayed in the yard in front. Qin Liang walked up the stone steps and went to the front hall of Tingwei's Mansion.It seems that almost all large houses and attics at this time were built on platform foundations.

What was a little surprising was that there were only three people in the front hall of Tingwei Mansion, which was quite a large institution.The person sitting in the upper position is an old man in his 70s or [-]s, who should be Gao Rou, the chief officer here.

Sima Yi, Wang Ling, Gao Rou, and Sun Li are all people who survived the Cao Cao era. Sun Li is the youngest. There should not be many of these people still alive, and most of them are familiar with each other.So Qin Liang first speculates that Gao Rou may have a better relationship with Sima Yi than Cao Shuang.

Although Gao Rou was one of the Nine Qings, he stood up when they first met, left his position above, and walked to the west side.Qin Liang stepped forward to bow to him and introduce himself.

Gao Rou has a Chinese character face. She has a lot of wrinkles on her face as she gets older, but the vertical lines between her eyebrows are the deepest.Such a serious appearance is indeed consistent with his status as a prisoner.Qin Liang asked a little about Gao Rou before he came. This person had been working in prison since the days of Cao Cao. I guess Cao Cao gave him the official position because of his appearance?
"Zhong Ming, please take your seat." Gao Ju said, "Let's serve."

Qin Liang calmed down, no matter how many things he had, he would just have a free meal first.He was still like that. He didn't want to talk too much when it was not necessary. He first listened to what Gao Rou said and what it meant to invite him.

But in fact, Qin Liang had guessed that it was probably related to the official position of the school affairs order.
