The land will definitely not be planted.
Chu Qing had expected this, and had heard it said before, but even if he asked, he didn't put his mind to it. If they could cultivate the land and reap good harvests, the relatives of the border army would cultivate it themselves.
Money and talent, this is the way to development.
Chu Qing now has money, but talent-related matters are a bit confusing.
"Governance of local areas, management of local economic talents..."
Chu Qing thought.
It is not that there are no civil servants at the border. There are many government offices that should be there, and there are also many civil servants that should be there.
But the important towns at the border are also called military towns. Serious civil servants, who will go there to be officials? Those who are relevant can be transferred. Those who are irrelevant can be transferred with money. Those who have no money are mostly in politics. He was transferred there after the struggle failed.
Chu Qing has also been filling in a lot of information recently. The presence of civil servants in the border army is very low, and he has never heard of any talents. Fusan, Jiang Yuesheng, and Tanma all have a say in this.
It is conceivable how miserable the civil servants were in a border border full of military personnel.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away, but the soldiers are not as easy to talk to as the generals in the capital. They use civility to suppress the military, saying no at all, ranging from two punches to Bang Bang, to two knives.
In the early decades, in border areas, the fatality rate among civil servants was the highest.
One is because of the environment, a bitter cold place, where scholars cannot eat well, sleep well, cannot bear it, and die.
Another one is that he had a conflict with the generals. He couldn't prepare for it and died inexplicably one day. As soon as he killed the person, he found a place to bury him. When he reported it to the superiors, he said he died of illness. No one cared about it or checked. , Low-ranking civil servants keep their tail between their legs, and high-ranking officials will not go that way.
Looking back at Jiang Yuesheng, Chu Qing asked: "Over at the border, those who manage people's livelihood are the county magistrates or prefects. How do they coordinate with the border troops?"
"Civil officials who are mainly border troops and can serve as officials in important border towns respect the military very much and do not interfere in military matters."
Jiang Yuesheng smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, the local civil servants have nothing to do. There are very few people under their rule. Most of them are relatives of the military. For example, in the six camps and twelve towns of Border Pass, everything for the people is related to the military. Civil servants also intervene. Not getting started.”
Chu Qing gave a slight oh, and once again thought about the civil servants he knew and had heard of, but there was still no suitable one.
It’s not that you don’t know the talents, but they are doing a good job in Beijing. Why are you trying to set up border barriers for them? Isn’t this a deception?
As a young person, I don’t know anyone, and the people I usually hang out with are all uncles and uncles.
Patting his forehead, Chu Qing asked again: "How is Tao Weiran, the county head of Xiao County, doing now?"
"It's not so bad. He is still the magistrate of Xiao County. Xiao County produces stone. In less than half a year, the people of Xiao County live and work in peace and contentment under the rule of chickens and dogs."
Chu Qing hesitated.
Xiao County was harmed by the great devil Li Mu before, but it was able to restore people's livelihood within half a year, which is a testament to Tao Weiran's ability. If he was brought to the border, he might be able to help.
Jiang Yuesheng reminded: "Sir, Tao Weiran is a person who has been praised by the emperor."
"Brother, the emperor also said that Tao Weiran will always be the county magistrate of Xiao County. So if he works until he is seventy years old, he will be the county magistrate for more than 40 years?"
Chu Qing is still confident about this, and he is not a high-ranking official. As long as he agrees, it doesn't matter what the fourth child said, and Xiao County is on the right track. As long as he changes to a county magistrate who is not too bad, it will be fine. question.
"Have someone go to Xiao County and bring it to Tao Weiran."
After Chu Qing finished explaining, he continued to think.
This time, after much deliberation, I really can’t think of anyone else to take it to.
Looking up at Nangong Ping, Chu Qing was happy.
Not to mention, if you bring it to this boy, it will really help a lot. The main reason is that this boy has strong organizational skills and his personality can get along with the soldiers.
"You should go back first and talk to your uncle. See if your uncle can agree."
"Okay, then the student will resign now."
Nangong Ping knew that the last thing he needed to do before the eighteenth prayer was to tremble. After saying goodbye, he hurried back to Nangong Mansion to add trouble to Nangong Xi.
Chu Qing looked back at Fu San: "Third brother, you have been away from the border for so many years. Maybe a lot of things have changed. Do you know anyone who is familiar with the border? It is best to have only returned to Beijing in the past two years."
"We know each other."
"where?"
"In the dungeon."
Chu Qing didn't react for a moment, frowned and thought for a moment, dumbfounded, then remembered that Fu San was talking about Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi has been back to Beijing for almost half a month and has done three things. The first thing is to be assassinated. The second thing is to be imprisoned in a dungeon. The third thing is to be beaten by Bihua. After the beating, he continues to go back to the dungeon. Squatting.
"Why are you still locked in there? Didn't you tell him the truth?"
"Er Gou told him." Fu San said: "But I didn't dare to let it out. After all, he wanted to be violent with you at that time. Er Gou wanted him to have a long memory."
"What's your current situation?"
"After knowing the truth, I feel extremely guilty."
"Have someone bring it to him and ask him something."
"Okay." Fu San went out and called out. After a while, Xiao Yi brought two Tanma in.
Xiao Yi has gained weight again and his face is quite rosy, but his face is quite embarrassing.
Before he could speak, Jiang Yuesheng imitated the appearance of Fu San before and took the lead.
"Do you know why you have been locked up for so long?"
"I know." Xiao Yi saluted Chu Qing: "The general was blinded by the lard and became violent with the Lord."
"No." Jiang Yuesheng said with a serious face: "You almost ruined Feng Shuai's plan. Qianqiying's Tanma was once a man in the border army. He was afraid that someone would look at you and get angry and kill you, so Lord Chu decided You're in a dungeon."
Xiao Yi glanced at Jiang Yuesheng with a look on his face that said, "You think I'm an idiot."
The scouts were running freely in the dungeon. They really didn't like me and they could kill me no matter what.
Jiang Yuesheng was confused: "You don't believe it?"
Xiao Yi hesitated.
He wanted to believe it, but he was afraid that people would think he was a stickler. He said he didn't believe it, but he was embarrassed.
"Sit down first." Chu Qing pointed to the stool with a smile: "Let's forget about the past. If you attack my commander, it will be easier for you to lock you up for a few days."
Xiao Yi looked grateful.
Indeed, Qianqiying was the emperor's own army, and even if Chu Qing was killed by him on the spot, no one would hold him accountable.
Looking at Xiao Yi with a majestic and upright face, Chu Qing was both angry and funny.
"Let me ask you, if your superior had told you the truth, that it was Feng Shuai's plan and not a rebellion, would you have come back to inform you?"
Xiao Yi lowered his head and shook his head slightly.
Chu Qing had mixed feelings and didn't know how to comment on this matter.
It is said that the border army only recognized Feng Shuai and not the imperial court. It was not true. He was bleeding, sweating, and crying. He could no longer take care of his wife, children, and children. How could he continue to work for the imperial court?
Chu Qing understood, but disagreed.
But whether he agrees or disagrees, if he were a general of the border army, he would do the same thing.
Therefore, it is impossible to tell who is right and who is wrong in this kind of thing. In this world, right and wrong are not clear-cut, and the boundaries are also very blurred. It is not possible to distinguish right from wrong by relying on a book of laws. But there is one thing that no one can deny. , the court, the monarch and his ministers owe the border troops too much.
"Are you still willing to go back to the border?"
Xiao Yi raised his head: "Can the general go back?"
"Yes, I'll take you back." Chu Qing said with a smile: "It's not a big deal. You didn't betray the border army. It's your superior officer who was an idiot. He didn't tell you that he wanted to rebel, and he mentioned King Wu."
Xiao Yi nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "That's it. I am afraid that the generals will be deceived by King Wu and lose their lives in vain."
