    One hundred and forty-eight interviews

    "Everyone is busy, so let me ask you a simple question: You are about to take office as the governor of Tongzhi Town in Dongping Province. What are your thoughts on the work there?"

    Meng Ju complained secretly.  I was rushed here before I woke up, my mind was still confused, and I was suddenly asked such a complicated question, it was really terrible!

    Fortunately, he has worked at the grassroots level of the Jing'an Department and is familiar with Lingwei's business.  He made a few vague clich¨¦s, saying that under the wise leadership of the General Administration, he would be determined to lead all the Tomb Guards in Dongping to be serious and responsible, loyal to their duties, never give in to those treacherous people with ulterior motives, and swear to serve the imperial court to the death.  grace.

    "A treacherous person with ulterior motives?" A smile appeared on Bai Wusha's lips: "Mr. Meng, who are you referring to?"

    Meng Ju said without hesitation: "Whoever plots to kill Governor Ye or is an enemy of our Ling Guards is a treacherous person! No matter how high he is, even if he is a marshal, treacherous people can be found by everyone."  Kill him!"

    Bai Wusha nodded approvingly: "Okay, Governor Meng, what the General Administration wants is your courage as a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers! As you said, the current situation of our Northern Xinjiang Tomb Guards is indeed not optimistic. The provincial tomb bureaus  They are all suppressed by the border troops. To open up this situation, we must rely on you, a tiger general who dares to fight and charge!"

    "I have little talent and virtue, but with your support from the town, I am willing to do my best!"

    "Meng Ju, I discussed your last proposal with several officers from the General Administration, and we all thought it was good. In northern Xinjiang, we really need a strong armed force to support our Lingwei, and in the eastern parallel province  Adjacent to the three provinces of Wuchuan, Chicheng, and Huaishuo, it is indeed a suitable location for setting up a military center."

    Meng Ju pricked up his ears, waiting for Bai Wusha to say more, but he stopped talking. Instead, he looked at the sky outside the window and said, "It's getting late. Come with me."

    Meng Ju didn¡¯t ask anything, got up and followed Bai Wusha out.  There was a carriage waiting at the door. Bai Wusha got on the carriage first and called to Meng Ju: "Governor Meng, come up with me."

    The sound of cars rumbled, and the carriage drove eastward.

    When there were only two people facing each other in the car, Bai Wusha's attitude was very kind.  He asked Meng Ju kindly about the trivial matters of frontier life, such as how much salary he could get as an inspector in Dongping in a month, how much the director could get, how much the Hou Inspector could get, whether his salary would be withheld by the superior, and other daily trivial matters.  .

    Meng Ju replied: "The inspector can get eighteen taels of salary a month, and there are also various allowances and subsidies. The salary is pretty good; the supervisor can get ninety taels of salary, and there are also some official subsidies; but for officers at the level of Inspector Hou,  It's very miserable. The monthly salary is only two or three taels of silver, and there are no opportunities to make money.

    Fortunately, the head of the Dongping Mausoleum Department is Governor Ye Zhen. She is more considerate of her brothers and never reaches out for their military pay.  With her as an example, the general manager of each branch did not dare to mess around, so our military pay was received in full and was never deducted.  "

    "Meng Ju, you also worked your way up from below. Have you ever gone out to get extra money?"

    This question touched upon Meng Ju¡¯s pain points. His face turned red and he was speechless.

    Bai Wusha didn¡¯t blame him, he just said with a smile: ¡°When you are a mausoleum guard, this kind of thing is probably inevitable. In the future, when you become the Tongzhi Town Superintendent, you will only have more ways to make money.

    The governor of Dongling Guard is not a high-ranking official, but he has a lot of power. As a supervisor of a province, he faces many temptations in all aspects.  You are on your own in the local area, the general administration is far away, and the local officials cannot restrain you. You can only control your greed on your own.

    ¡°In fact, the General Administration¡¯s management of the town governors is still very loose.  As long as you don't violate any major taboos, the General Administration will generally not interfere with your affairs.  You have to think clearly about what money you can take and what money you can't touch.  Firstly, we must not ignore our conscience, and secondly, we must not miss important events. We must learn from your Governor Ye, and never touch your brothers¡¯ military pay!

    There are several mistakes made in the past that you should remember and learn from.

    Xu Ruchang, the governor of northern Henan Province, deducted military pay from the troops in the town and only paid 30% of the pay to his brothers for eight consecutive months. As a result, his subordinates mutinied and Xu Ruchang's entire family was killed by the rebels.

    Gao Hu, the governor of Ludong Town, used the excuse that a large family in the area was involved in thieves and swallowed up other people's property, causing people to lose their families.  Unexpectedly, this big family had a way to report it to the Yushitai. The Yushitai sent an inspection censor to Ludong to investigate, and the truth came to light.  Gao Hu was arrested and imprisoned, and all his property was confiscated.

    There is also Liu Zhongjun, the governor of Southern Henan. He has a good name and is also a very capable person. Unfortunately, he was instigated by the Yinghou of Beifu. He secretly betrayed the secret military information of our country to Beifu. He sold it seven times in total and won three awards.  Ten thousand taels of silver.  Alas, just for these 30,000 taels of silver, another young man with a promising future was ruined.?

    Meng Ju, before every town governor takes office, I have to tell him that money is something that you will not take with you until you die. Just spend it as long as it is enough. You can make money, but you must not be too greedy and know how to measure it.  When you become the governor of a province, even the ordinary amount of money will be enough for you to live a stable life as a rich man. There is really no need to extend your hand.

    When you become a town governor, you have to learn from two role models, one is Town Governor Ye and the other is Town Governor Huo.  They are all your seniors in Dongping.  Governor Ye Zhen will not say it. When Governor Huo was working in the Jianghuai Administration, he severely attacked the Beifu of the Southern Tang Dynasty. His performance was outstanding, which made His Majesty very happy.

    Meng Ju, all the mausoleum guards in the world are one family.  You said that the local mausoleum bureaus look forward to the support of the general administration, but why doesn¡¯t the general administration rely on the support of the mausoleum bureaus in various places?  If you have achieved results and performed well, then the General Administration will have face in front of His Majesty, and naturally you can afford to speak harshly; but if you do something embarrassing like Gao Hu, Xu Ruchang, and Liu Zhongjun, then the General Administration will also follow suit.  Shame, why do you have the face to speak for you in the court?

    Meng Ju, in the last battle of Jing'an, you performed bravely and achieved outstanding results. The Dongping Governor's Office and the Ministry of War gave you awards. Even His Majesty knows that our Dongling Guard has a fierce general who can break the formation, so he specially paid tribute to you.  I asked about you.

    You are both civil and military, and have outstanding talents. You are considered the best among the younger generation of Ling Guard officers.  I have high expectations for you, and hope that you can achieve a great career in the post of governor and win honor for our Dongling Guards, just like you did during that war.

    Meng Ju, do your best.  You are still young and have a bright future!  "

    Bai Wusha's words were eloquent, containing both severe examples and intimate advice. Especially when he talked about the unlucky guy who was captured in collusion with Beifu, Meng Ju was secretly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

    "My Lord, I will keep my humble position in my heart and never forget it. I will take the two seniors Ye and Huo as role models, be honest and self-disciplined, conscientious in their duties, and do their best for our great cause."

    "Okay! Governor Meng, our Dongling Guard is in need of energetic and energetic young people like you. The future of Dongling Guard depends on you. I will wait and see for you."

    While the two were talking, the carriage had already driven out of the west gate of the Dongling General Health Administration and headed straight towards Luojing along a loess road.  Meng Ju finally couldn't bear it any longer and asked, "Zongzhen, where are we going?"

    Bai Wusha looked at him with a smile: "Of course I'm going to see His Majesty."

    Meng Ju was startled, and he shouted out loud: "Your Majesty? Sir, are you talking about His Majesty Emperor Jingmu?"

    "Does it mean that there is a second His Majesty in our Wei Dynasty?"

    "Ah, what a shame! But why does Your Majesty want to see us?"

    "We, the Dongling Guards, are the Royal Qin Army and your Majesty's private army. When it comes to appointments at the level of town governor, it can only be approved with your majesty's nod. Therefore, the newly appointed town governor and Tongzhi town governor must be approved by your majesty personally.  Interviewed and reviewed.¡±

    Seeing Meng Ju's uncertain expression, Bai Wusha smiled and consoled him: "The so-called interview is actually just a formality. Regarding your appointment, His Majesty has already agreed to it, so you don't have to worry. To be honest,  Because of your appointment and because you are Chinese, I was worried at first that His Majesty would not be able to get through. Unexpectedly, Your Majesty readily agreed.

    "Ah, how could your Majesty agree?"

    "As soon as I mentioned your name, His Majesty asked: Meng Ju? Is he the young man who went out alone to avenge Ye Canaan? I said it was him, but he was not from the nationality; His Majesty said, no problem, although the young man is Chinese  , but loyalty is admirable and can be used in great ways - well, that's how it's settled.

    Meng Ju, His Majesty is very fond of you. When we meet later, you must be careful in your words and deeds, and don't be rude in front of the Emperor. Don't worry, His Majesty is a very kind person.

    Because you are from the frontier, His Majesty may ask you some questions about military affairs and the situation on the grassland when we meet later. Please think carefully about how to answer.  If your Majesty asks about Tuoba Xiong, don't go too far.  In fact, His Majesty also knows what Tuoba Xiong is like, but they are uncle and nephew after all, and it is not your turn as an outsider to talk too much.  "

    "Yes, thank you Lord General for the heads up, I understand."

    After hearing what Bai Wusha said, Meng Ju had a clear idea and lowered his head to think about it.

    Amidst the sound of rolling wheels, the carriage drove all the way into Dongyang Gate of Luojing, followed the main road of Luojing, and entered Neiguo City from Qingyang Gate.

    The Neiguo City contains important places such as the palace city, various government offices, the royal ancestral temple of the Northern Wei Dynasty, etc., which are usually prohibited for civilians to enter.  Although Meng Ju is from Luojing, this is his first time coming in.  He opened his curious eyes wide and saw the towering buildings and buildings passing by outside the car window, and he was amazed.

    ??"The government office with the black door is the Ministry of War, and the office with the red door is the Ministry of Punishment. The Dali Temple is at the other end of the street. These yamen have to deal with us Ling Guards a lot. Remember, you will know where to do things in the future.

    Over there is the "Siyi Pavilion", which is dedicated to the residence of people and merchants from all over the world. They are called Jiangdu, Yanran, Fusang and Xiyi respectively. That building is the Jiangdu Pavilion, which is dedicated to the residence of the generals who came to invest in the Southern Dynasties.  Oh, over there is the Hubu Yamen and the God of Wealth, but our money and food come from the royal private treasury, so we don't have to deal with them.  There is the Yushitai, be careful not to provoke them, Gao Hu is unlucky because of them.  "

    Bai Wusha introduced all the way, and Meng Ju listened with interest.  At this time, the huge and towering figure of Miyagi appeared in front.
