Chapter 834: In the Morning, He Is a Farmer, and in the Evening, He Is a Government Official! The Temptation of the First Incense Stick of the Kai Family Ancestor!
Gou Sheng looked at Ying Zheng with teary eyes and confused eyes.
What does the graduation ceremony of our military academy have to do with the king?
Perhaps seeing Gou Sheng's doubts, Ying Zheng did not elaborate on his words of encouragement, but said in a deep voice:
"make!"
"Promote Duke Yi to be the magistrate of Zoucheng County!"
"Your Majesty Duke Cheng will take office before February 1, the fifteenth year of King Qin's reign!"
Ying Zheng's words were concise and concise, but Gou Sheng was shocked and stunned.
When Meng Yi and other ministers spread Ying Zheng's orders to all directions, it caused an uproar among the spectators.
"County magistrate? This guy looks like he is only in his twenties, so he is already a county magistrate?!"
"Baby! Baby! You've survived!"
"This man doesn't even have a surname. He is truly a despicable person. How could he be promoted to county magistrate at such an age? Your Majesty is unwise!"
"Why? Just because this person is a first-term graduate of the military academy! Just because this person is above the second level in all four arts! Just because this person conquers the city and wins the title of Duke!"
Among the people watching the ceremony, Gou Sheng's family members cried with joy.
Everyone can see that Gou Sheng's family members are not wealthy people. Even people who are far away can know that Gou Sheng has no surname and no family name. He must be a person of low origin.
As a result, this man was able to become the county magistrate in his early twenties!
This result not only caused an uproar among the spectators, but even Gou Sheng pointed at his face and asked in surprise: "Humble, humble, humble? County magistrate?"
Ying Zheng said with admiration in his eyes: "I have personally read the examination papers that Mr. Gongxu takes every year."
"Everyone can see the military exploits that the Duke has achieved on the front line."
"I know very well that the position of county magistrate is really a condescension for the public official Fu Shen."
"After three years of experience as a senior official, I will be promoted again."
Ying Chengxuan said: "This appointment was decided upon by both me and your Majesty."
"You were illiterate before entering the military academy, so you were unable to serve as a grassroots official."
"Although your talents and learning are enough to qualify for higher positions now, you know nothing about grassroots government affairs. This lack of knowledge will definitely become a catastrophic problem for you on your future promotions."
"That's why I think you should train yourself at the grassroots level."
The prime minister must be from the state department, and the fierce general must be from the army!
The person who said this famous saying that is still the standard for selecting high-ranking officials more than two thousand years later is none other than Han Fei standing not far away!
Both Ying Zheng and Ying Chengyu strongly agreed with Han Fei's words.
Therefore, even though some people in the DPRK believe that placing military academy graduates in county-level units is a serious waste of talent, Ying Zheng and Ying Chengxuan still firmly believe that all military academy graduates must have grassroots work experience.
However, the grassroots in Ying Zheng's eyes and the grassroots in the eyes of others are actually two completely different concepts!
Gou Sheng's eyes were as wide as light bulbs, and he murmured uncontrollably: "In ordering this disciple to serve as county magistrate, do you want him to train at the grassroots level for a few years?!"
The spectators were even more numb.
The position of county magistrate is a high position that many people cannot aspire to in their lifetime!
In their view, it was a blessing for a person of Gou Sheng's background to reach the position of county magistrate in his lifetime, and he must have paid a dirty price.
But now, Ying Zheng and Ying Chengyu have made it clear that the county magistrate is just the starting point for the rest of the world!
Once the exercise is completed, the dog will be trained again!
Feeling the expectations and respect of Ying Zheng and Ying Chengxuan, tears welled up in Gou Sheng's eyes, and he cried in a sticky voice: "This disciple used to be a slave in the people's house of Xinzheng. He was childish and incompetent and did not deserve to be fed."
"In order to get enough food, the disciples often lurk behind the mansion. After the vicious dogs in the mansion have eaten enough, they steal the leftovers from the vicious dogs and eat them."
"When the master heard about the disciple's actions, he smiled and called the disciple a dog remnant!"
"Disciple, that's why we got our name!"
"Thanks to the school's order to destroy Han, the disciples were able to escape from slavery."
"When I first joined the army, all I wanted was to live a life full of food."
"Disciple, I have never thought in this life! I have never thought that one day I can become a master, or even a county magistrate!"
Accompanied by Gou Sheng's cries, there was silence in the military academy.
The eyes of fellow disciples who were familiar with Gou Sheng's experience were a little red.
Although there are many students in the military academy who come from humble backgrounds, when it comes to the past, the days of Gou Sheng are definitely the most miserable.
The eyes of the spectators widened even more. Gou Sheng's origin was actually even more humble than they imagined!
However, Ying Zheng and Ying Chengyu's eyes flashed with dignity.
There's something wrong with this kid's mentality!
Ying Chengyu patted Gou Sheng on the shoulder and said warmly: "Don't cry!"
Gou Sheng wiped the tears on his face vigorously, nodded repeatedly and said, "Disciple never cried!"
Seeing that Gou Sheng couldn't stop crying at all, Ying Chengyu said in a deep voice: "The king promotes you to the county magistrate. It is not only a promotion for you, but also a training for you and a test for you!"
"The officialdom is different from the military camp, and the officialdom in Guandong is also different from the officialdom in Guanzhong."
"When you go to Zoucheng and take office, you will face unprecedented challenges and have to block the open and hidden arrows that you have never seen before."
"I do not expect you to handle things well when you first take office, but I hope you can continue to grow and uphold your original intention."
"Don't be afraid if you make a mistake. You must inform me or other masters as soon as you notice the mistake. I and all the masters are willing to give you correction and help."
"Da Qin Military Academy will always have your backing!"
Gou Sheng looked at Ying Chengyu firmly and said, "Disciple, don't be afraid!"
"Master has already taught his disciples about the methods that the Guandong people may use and how to deal with them."
"This disciple will never disappoint the school commander and the king!"
Facing this colleague and disciple who had taught him for more than three years and lived and died for four to five years, Ying Chengyu felt uneasy for the first time in his heart.
Ying Chengyu didn't know whether this disciple who made him feel particularly reassured on the battlefield could cope with the complex environment of the political world.
What's more, he is afraid that he will not be able to withstand the sugar-coated bullets of local powerful people, and may even engage in retaliatory corruption, causing the blood-stained military robe to fall short!
Ying Zheng suddenly asked: "Gou Sheng, is this the name given to you by the people of Han Dynasty?"
Gou Sheng was puzzled. Didn't he make it very clear just now?
The passion has passed, it’s embarrassing to talk about it again!
But now that Ying Zheng had asked, Gou Sheng could only say with some embarrassment, "That's true."
Ying Zheng's voice turned cold: "So, what qualifications do the people of Han have to name the heroes of our Great Qin?!"
"Where is the magistrate of Zouxian County!"
Gou Sheng didn't react at the first moment. He was stunned for a moment before he suddenly handed over his hand: "I'm here!"
Ying Zheng looked at Gou Sheng with gentle eyes and said, "How about I give you a name?"
Gou Sheng's head was buzzing, and there was a double image of Ying Zheng in his sight.
My Sifang Emperor!
What kind of virtues and abilities do I, Gou Sheng, have? Not only can I get the position of county magistrate, I can even be named by the king himself!
Gou Sheng was so dazed that he didn't even know how he responded, so he listened to Ying Zheng continue to speak: "The song "Beifeng Sun and Moon" says: The sun lives on the moon, and when it comes to the earth, it is a risk."
"I will take this word 'Mao' as your name."
"You have become a Ding, and it is appropriate to have a character for it. I will decide it based on my expertise, and then I will choose '粲(càn)缁(zī)' as your character."
"Are you happy?"
Ying Zheng didn't think about it for a long time like ordinary people do when choosing a character for their children. After all, the character he chose for Gou Sheng was just a whim.
But the name Ying Zheng gave to Gou Sheng also contained his expectations and advice to Gou Sheng.
The word "risk" in "Sun and Moon" has two meanings: shining and covering, which means that the glory of the Qin Dynasty has shone on Gou Sheng and will cover all the shadows of his past.
The word "缁" taken from "缁缁" is literally translated as bright and new black court clothes. However, based on the full text of "缁缁", it can be seen that this is a new court dress made after discarding the original tattered old court clothes.
The name and title are all admonishing Gou Shengneng to bid farewell to the gloomy past like discarding rags and welcome his bright future in Great Qin!
It is a pity that the "Book of Songs" is not a subject in the military school subjects.
So now Cancan still doesn't understand Ying Zheng's expectations. She is just grateful for the fact that Ying Zheng personally gave her the name. She hands over her hands in excitement: "Xin Yue! Xin Yue!"
"My lord, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ying Zheng smiled with satisfaction: "It will be good if it pleases you."
"It's just that it has a name, but it's still slightly lacking after all."
"I am waiting to give you a family name one day!"
Cangan, who was already excited, almost fell into coma due to Ying Zheng's words.
Pointing at herself, Chan's eyes almost fell out of her sockets: "Chen, can I also have a surname?"
During this period, the management of surnames was no longer as strict as in the Spring and Autumn Period, but it was also far less relaxed than after the Han Dynasty. It could not be established by people's mouths, but must be recognized by people above the king's rank.
If you want to be the founder of a clan, you must either have a good relationship with the king. For example, the founder of the Gongsun clan is indeed the son of the prince. If Ying Chengyu is interested, he can also let his son take Gongsun as his surname.
Either they can get a piece of food, and Huang Xie and others obtained their clans in this way. If Ying Chengxuan is interested, he can get it from Yi (Daliang), Du (Du County), Li (Tunliu), etc. Choose one of the eight options.
Either he is famous all over the world, has made great contributions, and was given his name, title, official position, title and other characteristics as his surname by the king. This is how the Mengxi Bai clan got their surname. If Ying Chengyu is interested, Ying Chengyu can also He asked for Chang'an as his surname.
There are many ways to obtain a family name, but for people with ordinary backgrounds, every method to obtain a family name is more difficult than leaving a name in history!
Ying Zheng looked at Gou Sheng with expectant eyes and said, "I'm waiting for you!"
"Every clan has its ancestor."
"Why can't Chan Zhen be the ancestor of a clan?!"
Are you satisfied with being a county magistrate?
When you become a county magistrate, you cry for joy and feel that your life is complete?
For Gou Sheng, this is indeed the case.
But for Ying Zheng, this is not only a huge waste of talent, but also may make Gou Sheng neglect political affairs because he has no desire for promotion.
So Ying Zheng not only changed Gou Sheng's name, but also gave Gou Sheng a brand new goal.
The first fragrance of Kaishi's ancestor is tempting.
