A carriage was waiting outside the door. Under the guidance of the young man, Xu Shu got on the carriage.
The coachman wearing a bamboo hat didn't say a word before the door closed and he started the carriage.
The horse's hooves were obtained, and they walked through the city for nearly two hours. They ran out from the Victory Gate and headed west for fifty miles, entering the wilderness, where the grass and trees were green and the Cangshan Mountain loomed.
Xu Shu suppressed his curiosity and stared out the window, letting the driver drive the carriage forward.
Seeing that the carriage was going further and further away, there was no road in front of it, and as far as the eye could see, it was a cliff.
Not only did the driver not slow down, he also swung his whip and hit the horse on the buttocks.
"Xilulu", the maroon horse clattered its hooves, like a dragon roaring in the valley. With a whoosh, the horse leaped into the air and dragged the carriage over the cliff.
Suddenly, the carriage fell rapidly, falling more than thirty meters in an instant, and was about to fall off the cliff. Suddenly, two snow-white wings sprouted from the horse's back, each wing was three feet wide.
The giant wings spread out and the carriage swayed above.
Xu Shu was still as steady as a mountain, and the coachman who had been silent spoke up, "I have accepted so many candidates, but you are the most calm and composed, which is amazing."
Xu Shu said, "You are so complimentary. I am simply stunned."
"Hahaha……"
The coachman laughed.
About ten minutes later, the carriage stopped on a green flat. After Xu Shu got out of the car, the carriage driver drove away without saying a word.
Xu Shu didn't stop on Qingping for long when a young man in Tsing Yi came to pick him up. After checking Xu Shu's white number plate, he led Xu Shu to wind up the bluestone steps connecting Qingping and climb five steps. After more than ten steps, the boy pointed to a stone door and told Xu Shu that that was his temporary residence.
After saying this, the boy complained, saying that he was busy with official duties and would not allow Shu to ask more questions, so he left immediately.
Xu Shu opened the stone door. Inside was a square stone chamber, only about ten square meters. There was only a stone bed, a faucet embedded in the mountain wall, and a bamboo drainage tube connected to it.
The stone room was tidy, but Xu Shu's heart was broken.
When he came to Dongdu from Chunshen, what worried him most was that he was about to be harassed by several big families, but what he was most excited about was going from the prosperous Chunshen to the even more prosperous Dongdu.
If there was a Baidu Encyclopedia in this world, the introduction to Dongdu would definitely be the political, cultural, and economic center of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a famous historical city, and the super central city of the East China Sea countries.
Xu Shu never expected that he would be greeted by this barren mountain and wild house. It was simply unreasonable.
He was facing the empty stone room, sulking, and heard footsteps behind him.
He just turned around and saw a round-faced young man standing outside the stone door, his arms raised, about to knock on the door.
The round-faced young man bowed his hands and said, "You must be the new candidate, and so am I. I am Cao Mengda. I don't know how to call you brother."
"Xu Shu, Brother Cao, please come in."
Xu Shu returned the gift, quickly took a step back, and invited Cao Mengda in.
In this remote place, when he had no access to anything, it would be great to have someone come.
Cao Mengda pointed to the empty stone room and said, "I've had enough of staying in such a cramped environment, so let's talk outside."
Xu Shu followed Shan Ruliu, and the two of them sat on the grass slope outside the stone steps.
Cao Dahua smiled and said, "I wonder where Brother Xu is from?"
"My home is Chunshen."
Xu Shu took out cigarettes and handed one to Cao Dahua.
"Won't."
Cao Dahua smiled and said, "As expected of the Eastern Capital of the Yangtze River, it can produce such a handsome and handsome person as Brother Xu."
"Brother Cao is ridiculous. By the way, what does Brother Cao mean by choosing someone?"
Xu Shu came in a hurry and had many blind spots.
"Brother Xu, don't you even know about it? This time the central committee established the sect management committee. In addition to dismantling some of the original departments of the central committee and re-building the skeleton, other personnel were drawn from various counties and cities, guards, town armies, and secret units. Replenished with elite soldiers and generals.
Didn't Brother Xu's transfer letter only specify the direction of the transfer and not even his title? For this reason, everyone’s assignments have not yet been decided, so it is called selecting people. "
Cao Mengda talked eloquently and kept everything in order.
Xu Shu regained his energy, "I dare to ask Brother Cao, since the sect management committee has been established, why are we transferred to this barren mountain?"
Cao Mengda said, "Because the Zongmen Management Committee is located here, the Central Committee has raised the standards of the Zongmen Management Committee to extremely high standards, and the structure is also extremely large. It is inconvenient to find any new office location in the Eastern Capital.
What's more, those who are entrenched in the sect's management committee are extraordinary people, and their activities and practices are extremely active.
Therefore, Zhujian Mountain was chosen on the outskirts of Beijing as the location for the sect management committee.
Don't underestimate these Sword Mountains. Ever since the source of power spread, the Central Committee has wanted to set this up as an extraordinary base camp to protect the capital. It invested efforts many years ago to build infrastructure here.
Now, it has suddenly been transformed into the residence of the Sect Management Committee, and the original efforts have not been in vain.
Otherwise, it would be too late to temporarily build the stone chamber where Brother Xu lives.
Not only that, there are many buildings among these high mountains.
It won't take long for Brother Xu to know everything. "
Xu Shu said, "I wonder how much Brother Cao knows about the internal structure of this sect's management committee?"
Cao Mengda yawned, "Brother Xu, to be honest, I came here to ask Brother Xu if he wanted to buy basic daily necessities. If he didn't need it, Cao would go elsewhere. Time is really tight."
After saying that, he looked stunned.
Somehow, Xu Shu suddenly thought of the juniors and seniors he met on TV who were selling sheets and quilts when freshmen were checking in.
"Then I'll do it."
In addition to actually needing basic daily necessities, Xu Shu also wanted to get more information from Cao Mengda.
"One hundred sets are worth the price."
Cao Mengda coughed and said, "It's not that Cao has a bad heart, but the superiors have to take a commission. No other sellers are allowed in this place unless they go out to buy. But I estimate that every ten days and a half, I'm afraid it won't Let us go down the mountain."
Xu Shu frowned slightly, but still took out a hundred-yuan silver note.
Cao Mengda reached out to take it, and Xu Shu held down the banknote, "I still have some problems here. If Brother Cao is willing to give me some advice, I will buy these daily necessities."
Cao Mengda smiled and said, "You ask, you ask, as long as I know, but I really don't have much time. After all, there are other candidates who need to be taken care of."
Xu Shu nodded and let Cao Mengda take away the banknotes.
"Still asking the question just now, does Brother Xu know the internal structure of this sect's management committee?"
Xu Shu stubbed out the cigarette butt, flicked his fingers, and the cigarette butt fell accurately into the trash can not far away.
Cao Mengda said, "I know a little bit, but not much. After all, it has not been clearly announced yet.
It should be a two-level organization. One is the committee, which contains some agencies that manage the members of the committee.
The other level is each branch, which is divided according to regions. There are four branches in East China, North China, Central China and Southwest China, which contain various institutions.
By the way, the Silver Sword Peak where Brother Xu is now belongs to the Southwest Bureau. I estimate that there is a high probability that Brother Xu will be assigned to the Southwest Bureau. "
The beauty of the service is called "Hua", and the great etiquette is called "Xia".
In this world, the countries where Zhou characters are common call themselves Hua Xia.
This is true of Great Zhou, and so is Great Qin.
Therefore, the regional divisions within the Great Zhou Dynasty were also preceded by the word "Hua".
