Chapter 0277: Cavalry Captain

Upon returning to the mansion, Wang Yun immediately summoned the butler and asked about Ye Qing's situation. After hearing that everything was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and intercepted the emperor's decree to confer the title of Marquis of Ting on Liu Bei, knowing that it was easy to offend others.

In the Han Dynasty, a county may have been larger than a modern county, and the townships were even different. A county only had three to six townships, while a township usually had an area of over 250 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the area of three to five townships in modern times.

Li is the most basic organization that governs 100 households, and a township usually has four pavilions, so in reality, one pavilion is about three li.

Simply put, Tinghou refers to a fiefdom of approximately 50 square kilometers with 300 to 500 households owning food towns.

This is a great benefit, it is the foundation of the family, and blocking it can easily offend people.

However, upon hearing that Ye Qing is unharmed, one can rest assured that politics never asks about one's thoughts, but rather about one's attitude!

There is a saying in the Ming and Qing dynasties that goes, 'All evil and debauchery are paramount. When it comes to the heart, no one is perfect.'.

This is also the case in politics, only middle school students investigate what they think in their hearts.

The butler also wanted to lean over and ask, "Wang Yun waved his hand and whispered," You go set up a banquet, and I will invite Xuande to join us later

The butler understood and stood up with a bow, giving orders to continue.

Wang Yun went to Ye Qing's courtyard, but when he arrived at the door, he didn't go in. With just a signal, a personal soldier immediately went in and loudly said, "Situ Wang Yun has come to announce the decree

A few soldiers were startled and hurriedly fled, then immediately reported. Ye Qing, who was inside, stood up in shock and saw Wang Yun solemnly walking to the courtyard holding the imperial edict in both hands. He quickly said, "Please wait a moment, I will come to change my clothes

At this point, there were no rules for setting up incense altars. Wang Yunwei nodded and saw Ye Qing rushing out in county magistrate's uniform, bowing to the ground and saying, "I, Liu Bei, am here

Wang Yunlang said in a loud voice, "Liu Bei has obeyed the decree - Liu Bei is a member of the Han royal family, who broke down his family and became a country, which is highly commendable. He can also be commended for his governance in Anqing. Liu Bei will be appointed as the commander-in-chief and relieved of his position as Anqing County magistrate. He will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. Thank you

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing quickly bowed and said, "I, Liu Bei, have received the order. Thank you for your kindness

As soon as the words fell, a large yellow aura descended. The rank of the Cavalry Captain was two thousand stones higher than that of the County Captain, nominally at the same level as the County Captain, but actually one level higher.

In history, the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, and Cao Cao was appointed as a cavalry captain and ordered to join forces with Huangfu Song to attack the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan. As a result, the Yellow Turban Army was defeated and tens of thousands of people were beheaded. He was then promoted to the position of Jinan Prime Minister, promoted to political and religious affairs, and a county was pacified. Then, the court requisitioned the Eastern Commandery Prefect.

This indicates that there is room for promotion among the Cavalry Captain, Jinan Prime Minister, and Prefect, and there is still a second level to go to Prefect.

Wang Yun's face showed a smile as he supported Ye Qing with both hands and said, "Xuande is a capable minister of the imperial family. I hope he can contribute more and not waste the favor of the court

This is a recommendation from the Duke, and I will never forget it! "Ye Qing showed a dignified expression and thanked Wang Yun," But isn't this a bit urgent? I just received a favor from the Marquis of Guannei

I know what you mean, it's a bit faster. It's just that the emperor has just ascended the throne, and it's the time to use people. Xuande doesn't need to mind anymore, "Wang Yun chuckled leisurely.

Originally, the Cavalry Captain was in charge of a thousand soldiers, but unfortunately now it's just a nominal title. This is a normal promotion based on your years of military achievements and three years of county magistrate honors. I only want you to be transferred to the court

Master Zi has put in a lot of effort for this matter! "Ye Qing bowed again!

Political positions have always been more difficult to appoint than military positions. In the capital, you are just a small official, but in the local area, you will be promoted by one level or more. Although you are only a cavalry captain now, in a few years, you can be appointed as a county and country minister

The Han Dynasty implemented a system of prefectures and states, where each prefecture had its own governor and the state had its own prime minister. Liu Bei once served as the prime minister of the plains, but the prime minister at that time was no different from the prefectural governor, although in reality, he was still half a level lower.

Although Liu Bei's royal family was recognized, Wang Yun also put in some effort to win them over.

Wang Yun felt a sense of joy in his heart and changed the topic: "Alas, in fact, people from all over the country who come to the capital are all concerned about military and prefectural duties, but no one is doing important things in the court... Look at this newspaper, everyone is actively striving to become a prefect, a captain, a cavalry captain... Some even want to use money to buy a prefect, which is really a joke... If it's not the late emperor now, how can we buy officials with money

What Master Zigong said is true, "Ye Qing said with a thick face, couldn't help but touch her nose and think to herself," This must be someone from the main world. Realizing this, I want to take the opportunity to occupy the county, but unfortunately it's too late

As for myself, I am also active. Although I did not directly buy an official position, I took action early. Not only did I catch up with Diao Chan, but I also bribed the eunuchs with a thousand dollars. I used my strength, achievements, and kindness to take sides, and in the end, it was you who opened the backdoor

Such words, when heard by busy people in the main world, are mostly nauseating and uncomfortable.

Ye Qing thought happily and spoke more earnestly, "Your great kindness, Master Zigong. I understand in my heart that I have no other desires, only to serve the court and the public

You're too humble! "Wang Yun looked at Ye Qing with a laugh and pointed.

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered, "There's one more thing. General He has agreed to my request. I'm planning to send Zhang Wenyuan back to Yanmen tomorrow to recruit soldiers. Do you have

Ye Qing was taken aback for a moment and quickly said decisively, "Since Wen Yuan has already been used by Zishi Gong and his principles are in place, how can there be any reason to criticize him

Oh, look at me confused, but I forgot... "Wang Yun laughed heartily, feeling very satisfied in his heart.

Ye Qing wiped a sweat from her hand and thought to herself, "It's strange to trust you

During the Han Dynasty, righteousness was highly valued, and having a high-ranking official meant great constraints. The clan also had advantages and confidence in resources, so Wang Yun did not have many reservations.

But in the main world, Jiang Chen is my vassal, and the so-called attempts to win him over are actually doomed to be ineffective from the beginning... This is not something that Wang Yun could have predicted

Besides, if Wang Yun offends Dong Zhuo in the future, he will undoubtedly die, and all his calculations will be in vain, "Ye Qing pondered.

Wang Yun's attitude has become even closer, which is human nature.

Liu Bei is now a member of the royal family and a cavalry captain with a rank of two thousand stones. His status and position are not low anymore.

In history, Cao Cao's evaluation of Liu Bei was - Liu Bei, I am good, but I learned little late

The meaning is simple. What Cao Cao said is that Liu Bei and I are the same person, but unfortunately the plan was realized too late and lost its natural plan.

Ye Qing knew what Cao Cao was telling the truth. At this time in history, General He Jin sent Wu Qiuyi to Danyang to recruit soldiers, while Liu Bei joined the army again halfway and fought against bandits, achieving meritorious service as the magistrate of Xiami County. Unfortunately, his own foundation had not been cultivated, and he was constrained by local aristocrats and resigned from his official position in frustration.

But right now, I can recommend my subordinates to the Grand General and send them to Yanmen to recruit soldiers. The ups and downs of life are reversed, it's really making people want to cry and laugh

At this point, Ye Qing sighed again and said, "Although Bei has been appointed as the Cavalry Captain of this capital, please publicly announce what kind of actions he needs to take in order to repay the great favor of the court and the public

Wang Yun smiled, and in that moment, he could tell that this person not only had a resolute and cold demeanor, but also a hint of innocence. He waved his hand and walked slowly forward, answering, "Xuande's injury is not yet healed, just focus on healing. In the future, when there is a chance, you will have a place to use your skills. It's not urgent now

Ye Qing pondered the uncertain words of this person and responded, "Yes

Sighing in his heart, this Wang Yun is neither willing nor fragile. No wonder he has no one's heart. If he were the emperor, there would be no choice but to swallow him like a mouse. He exclaimed beautifully, "The will of heaven is unpredictable

But he is just a loyal minister, not even a true loyal minister. Playing this trick can only make people's hearts deviate.

Many people do not understand the scope of use of the power technique of "hitting". In fact, it is very simple. Beating must be carried out when the other party has no choice or better restrictions, which forces the other party to bow down in order to be effective.

Knocking the head too much, someone who has a better partner to seek refuge with, or even the opportunity to become independent, has become a joke.

It is said that Ye Qing used to be on Earth, where there were many opportunities for job hopping and entrepreneurship. Some bosses were even arrogant and easily criticized, but others jumped - this has happened several times.

The current situation of Wang Yun is like this. He is not the only choice. A small beating is enough, but after a while, it will break the bond of gratitude.

As she thought about it, she arrived at the hall and entered the banquet. Ye Qing bowed and sat down.

A restaurant.

During the banquet, Yu Fan was also drunk and his ears were hot. He looked into the distance and drank his own wine, but his heart was filled with thoughts.

I didn't do anything last time, but Sun Jian's character is already very good, and now he has become the governor.

Recalling Sun Jian, it is said that before his birth, there were five colored clouds in the ancestral tomb of the Sun family. This is just a joke. The Sun family was just a wealthy family. When Sun Jian was seventeen years old, he killed the pirate Hu Yu and gained great fame. The county government called him to act as the acting captain, but he was able to achieve great success in one fell swoop.

Xu Chang, a native of Kuaiji County, rebelled in Juzhang and proclaimed himself Emperor Yangming. Together with his son Xu Shao, they incited various counties and gathered tens of thousands of accomplices.

Sun Jian recruited hundreds of excellent and brave warriors, who worked together with the officers and soldiers of the state and county to suppress and defeat Xuchang. Therefore, he was appointed as the magistrate of Yandu County. Several years later, he was successively appointed as the magistrate of Xuyi County and Xiapi County.

Sun Jian served as the magistrate of three counties and cultivated true private soldiers. Many officials defected, and the rebel army rose up. The people responded and wherever they went, they burned down the county offices and executed officials.

Sun Jian gathered a thousand private soldiers and fought fiercely with Zhu Qi in the north and south. He often risked his life and death. The court appointed Sun Jian as the Sima of the other department, and then appointed him as the Councilor.

In the fourth year of Zhongping, Qu Xing, a native of Changsha, rebelled and claimed to be a general. He gathered more than 10000 people and attacked the besieged city. The court appointed Sun Jian as the governor of Changsha and went to suppress the rebellion.

Sun Jian pacified three commanderies, and his private troops had grown to a large scale.

Yu Fan's visit to Beijing this time already made him the governor. The governor of the Han Dynasty was not a mid-level official in later generations, but was already a powerful figure.

How can one utilize such a foundation?

Just as he was thinking about it, someone suddenly came over and whispered a few words. Yu Fan couldn't help but change his color. He pressed the table and stood up, saying, "De Mou, come inside and talk

Cheng Pu, also known as De Mou, has made outstanding contributions and is the oldest.

My lord, I am guilty, and everything I do is not good. "As soon as Cheng Pu entered, he stood still and apologized.

Yu Fan stood still, gazing at the wrinkles on Cheng Pugu's bronze face, and said, "Why do you have to do this? I have always trusted you to handle things. If you don't succeed, there must be a reason

Upon hearing this, Cheng Pu glanced at Yu Fan and said, "My lord, the purchase of the governor of the state is no longer successful, let alone the governor of the state

Cheng Pu saw that Yu Fan remained silent and said, "Even if it were the late emperor, this state governor was held by the imperial family and could not be bought. Now that the emperor has ascended the throne, all of these have been abolished, and not even a prefect can be bought

Yu Fan frowned and pondered for a long time, "This is a helpless thing, what else

Cheng Pu continued, "If the lord wants to inquire about anyone, I have already obtained information that Liu Bei has been recognized by the emperor as a member of the royal family, included in the genealogy, and appointed as the Marquis of Guannei and the Cavalry Captain

Upon hearing this, Yu Fan's body trembled. By now, he had gained an understanding of the system of the Han Dynasty. The Marquis of Guannei was just a minor issue, admitting to being a member of the royal family and being appointed as the Cavalry Captain. This was a great disaster.

Although the position of Cavalry Captain is currently vacant, his official position is only two levels lower than 2000 stones, and he is only two levels away from becoming the Prefect!

The most important thing is that with this official position, one can legitimately raise an army with a size of no more than 3000 people.
