Chapter 116: Nanshan County Governor
As an important town that relies on the capital, Nanshan County can be said to be a county with a very large place and a very complex membership.?
This is a county directly under the Great Qin Empire. It can be said that anyone who comes here will be very honest.
The people here are very brave, which is completely different from those of the counties in the Western Regions. One or two of the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty came from this Nanshan County. Just by this, you can imagine it.
You must not underestimate these 100 or 100. You must know that there are more than fifty counties in the Qin Dynasty, which are of course different in size. However, the distribution of people in each county is much different.
How terrifying would be Nanshan County, which could occupy one or two soldiers in this Great Qin? It would be unimaginable that even the nine territories in Jiuzhou that were much larger than them, it would be difficult to get such a source of soldiers.
Because the entire Nanshan County relies on the capital, it is not bad at all in terms of wealth beyond the counties in Jiangnan. At most, it is a little worse than the only Jiangnan County. This result alone is already considered to be the heroes in this Qin Dynasty.
Such an important county naturally cannot be divided into feudal situations. Therefore, Nanshan County is under the jurisdiction of several county magistrates, and there is a prefect on it, which is of a very high level.
You should know that the prefect of Nanshan County has reached the second rank. Apart from top officials such as the Prime Minister and the Zhu Kingdom, the prefect of Nanshan County can already be called a chief official in the border area.
However, compared to the real rank-level officials, the prefect of Nanshan County has no military power, which is also a means of check and balance. After all, if the prefect of Nanshan County also has military power, then his power is so great that it can even threaten the imperial power.
As for the county magistrates of Nanshan County, they were from the second-rank. Even though this level was not seen in the capital, the power they held was comparable to that of the real second-rank officials.
Fortunately, this is at the foot of the emperor, which is very close to the capital, and has a large teleportation array, so these county magistrates and those who control the army of Nanshan County dare not act rashly.
The capital city is a real place where dragons and tigers are hidden. Even if you are not convinced, there is nothing you can do about it.
When he heard that the royal princes had arrived, the prefect did not appear because he was in seclusion, but instead ordered several county magistrates under his jurisdiction to come and greet him.
When welcoming King Yu Xu Yan, one of the prefects, named Zhang Hao, was quite upright and serious.
In fact, Zhang Hao was a little awe in his heart for the new King Yu in this legend, but he was not as flattering as possible.
In the Western Regions, it is rumored that King Yu has done many shocking things, but in the Western Regions, he is facing relatively stupid barbarians. If this were placed on border wars in other countries, he would not have been so unexpected.
What's more, the royal propaganda princes are already exaggerated, and these senior officials know that in this case, it is more or less careless, which is very normal.
However, even if he is a little careless in his heart, King Yu is still King Yu. He is the current prince. Even if anyone can't catch up with this identity, he still has to do the superficial respect.
When the two of them flashed from the teleportation array, Zhang Hao immediately came up. His posture was more or less a routine feeling, but Xu Yan looked at him without showing any unhappiness.
Even if he is the King of the Great Qin Dynasty, it does not mean that everyone must flatter him. If this is true, he will really dislike it. It would be fine. At least, for him, if he communicates with him, there will not be much discomfort in his heart.
"Zhang Hao, the governor of Nanshan County, welcomed His Highness?" Zhang Hao, who was a little uncomfortable in his heart, felt a little confused after seeing Xu Yan staying alone.
Generally speaking, even if such a prince is not surrounded by others, he should have a large number of guards when traveling.
But this was not the case with King Yu. Behind him, there was only a person dressed like a sect guard, and his posture seemed to be as if he would not have much style at all.
His own clothes are not elegant and luxurious. Compared with the nobles of the royal palaces who came before, they are not ordinary, but even a little shabby.
If such a person had not seen his portrait, he would not have thought that he would be King Yu. In any aspect of his style, he would not have looked like a prince of the Qin Dynasty.
"Mr. Zhang! I heard about your name in the capital as early as the capital. When I saw you today, it was indeed extraordinary." Xu Yan hurriedly welcomed him with a smile on his lips.
For him, the county magistrate liked him even more and did not flatter him. Even if he pretended it on purpose, it would not be possible for him.
"Your Highness is so wonderful, Zhang Hao is just loyal to his duties." Zhang Hao was not modest.
In fact, excessive humility is hypocritical, especially those who have made considerable contributions to the country.
If you can get into this position, even if you have a full backstage behind you, you must make great contributions.
The Great Qin is not the court that can be solved by protecting each other. It can achieve the existence of officials above the third rank. Which one has no contribution to the expansion of the Great Qin?
You know, in the past few decades, the entire Qin Dynasty expanded wildly. Among them, the territory of the Qin Dynasty increased by almost two-thirds. This is not the uninhabited land that has not been accepted yet. If it weren't for this, how could Xu Yan's son Xu Wei be called the Emperor of Eternal Eternal?
You should know that an empire that was only a third-grade rank was able to expand to the second-grade level of the present. It is indeed a very important premise for having a Nascent Soul cultivator. However, not all empires with a third-grade Nascent Soul cultivator can be promoted to the second-grade level.
If the territory is not enough, the second-grade cannot be promoted, and if the overall strength is not enough, it is also impossible.
Although the entire Border Great 6 is nominally governed by the major empires, the top leaders of each empire are actually very clear in their hearts that the third-grade empire is a second-grade vassal state.
The second rank is a vassal state of the first rank empire.
If you want to successfully enter the level of a second-grade empire, you must defeat a second-grade empire or even destroy it. Only then can you be recognized by a first-grade empire. The difficulty is much greater than the territory or anything else.
Therefore, in the Great Qin Empire, a mere county magistrate has the capital to be proud of. This is not a lie. The ability of the Great Qin to achieve this is not something that only one person can do.
Therefore, Xu Yan dared not say respect to him, but at least he admired him.
Compared to them, the weight of their prince is not very important. At most, they are even more noble in their identities.
However, many of the royal families in the current Qin Dynasty do not understand this truth, so many royal families are very proud and always feel that the Qin Dynasty is still theirs, and they do not take all their subjects seriously, and there are definitely many who suffer losses on it.
"Your Highness, the gold dig cave will be opened tomorrow. I have prepared a banquet in my mansion. Please move to my mansion." He reached out and made a gesture of inviting.
Xu Yan nodded. No matter what the other party was thinking in his heart, at least, he would never be disrespectful to him on the surface.
Just kidding, the old man is still here, how many arrogant soldiers and generals have been suppressed by this title of the Emperor of Eternality?
Even the marshals who had the most terrifying military achievements back then were obedient in front of the old man, not to mention that he was just a civil servant.
As one of the old man's favorite sons, who would not give him any face at this time?
Even if someone looked down on Xu Yan at this time from the bottom of his heart, at least, no one on the surface dared to do this.
It is because of this that it can be said that the princes will live a good life now. However, when the old man leaves and the new prince takes office, will there be any big trouble? This is not necessarily the case.
You know, in the previous life, the third brother took that position, but the whole country was in constant rebellion.
At that time, the third brother was dealing with domestic affairs. Until he died that year, the strength of the entire Qin Dynasty had dropped by at least half. The second-grade empire really began to embark on a path that was not worthy of its name.
If I really said it, it wouldn't be blamed on my old rival, the third brother, because the powerful generals at that time were no longer able to solve the problem with their personal abilities.
The Grand Marshal directly rebelled, which led to the entire army in the Qin Dynasty to fight a civil war. It is conceivable how the third brother could have a place to settle back then.
Even Xu Yan now did not think of any good way to solve this kind of thing. Even if he really sat in that position, perhaps it would be the same as the situation of the third brother in his previous life.
"Your Highness, let's go!" Zhang Hao didn't know what he was thinking, and he said as soon as he reached out.
Similarly, Xu Yan was also lost in his mind before. When he saw this county magistrate, he obviously thought of that problem and frowned a little, but then he lost his emotions.
No matter what emotions are, they are not reflected on their faces. This is the law Xu Yan gave to himself. If everything is really written on his face, it would probably be difficult for him to get that position.
"Huh? Lao Qi, you came first than me. It's really surprising." Suddenly, before Xu Yan turned around, he heard a slightly mocking voice appear behind him.
Suddenly, Xu Yan, who had already had a smile on his face, his brows frowned.
