Chapter 143: The new prefect
Of course, next, whether to replace other officials in Xuanzhou will be decided by Wei Wende after some investigation, and he will put forward his proposed opinions, and then report to the Ministry of Officials and the emperor for final ruling.
It is precisely because he holds such a heavy power in his hands that he is full of ambition and has the pride of showing off his ambitions, and he can't help humming a little song in the sedan chair, although the rain outside the sedan chair is loud, but it seems to be playing music with him.
Just now in the Shili Changting, most of these officials were drenched like chickens in soup, and their expressions were respectful and frightened when they saw him, which made him enjoy it very much, and the prefect who was about to leave his post and be adjusted to other places as officials was obviously a little melancholy, because the place he was going to transfer to was far less rich than the land of fish and rice in the south of Wuyue River.
In the ten-mile long pavilion, the former Xuanzhou prefect introduced Wei Wende to the officials of the local government and county yamen one by one, most of them he did not remember, and he was not in a hurry to remember them, because he believed that these officials would soon try their best to make him remember their names.
After entering the city, he even lifted the sedan curtain to look at the shops along the street, looked at the pedestrians who were in a hurry with umbrellas, and listened to the sound of the sedan chair man clattering on the bluestone slab waterlogged ground, there was a sense of rhythm of music, thinking that this would be his own jurisdiction in the future, and he would be a good official who loved the people like a son, and wanted to let these people feel the grace of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, which was what the emperor told him before he came. He doesn't want to be a dumb official who does nothing, he still wants to do something for the people, of course, he is only an official for money, and if he can do things for the people at the same time, he also fills his bags, then both parties are satisfied.
He was thinking wildly, and his official sedan chair was surrounded by hundreds of people and came to the yamen of the prefect of Xuanzhou City. The prefect's yamen is in the west of Xuanzhou City, and to the east is the yamen of Xuancheng County, where Xuanzhou City is located.
The vermilion lacquer gates of the yamen were all opened, and the official sedan chair was carried directly through the gate, and the remaining officials and the three classes of officials in the official palace were waiting for the new yamen master on both sides of the road. Although the rain was pouring down and these people were already soaked, none of them dared to open an umbrella, stood in the rain with a respectful expression, greeted his palanquin in, and then watched the palanquin enter.
Wei Wende was very satisfied with the respect that the officials of the yamen respected him. In fact, he also knew in his heart that the reason why these officials were so respectful to him from top to bottom was because the sky above their heads had changed, the dynasty had changed, the original Wu Yue Kingdom no longer existed, they had become officials of the Great Song Dynasty, and what would the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty do with them, these officials had no bottom in their hearts. In the absence of a clear figure, people are most likely to panic, not to mention whether the black gauze hat on their head or the errand in the yamen can be kept.
The prefect's inner house has all been vacated, because the original prefect's things have been loaded into a carriage and transported away, waiting for the new official to take over the work. According to the requirements of the Great Song Dynasty, on the day of the handover, the old officials must leave the city, even if they can rest outside after leaving the city, which is called one mountain and no two tigers.
Therefore, Wei Wende can take his family and his belongings and live directly in the inner house of the prefect's yamen.
After a short rest, he went to the lobby and settled with the former prefect. As for the specific affairs such as money, property, debts, account books, etc., the respective subordinate officials of both sides will make the settlement on their own, and it will not be completed in a day or two, but the delivery of these specific affairs will not affect the departure of the prefect.
After the explanation, the prefect was about to say goodbye and leave. Wei Wende sent him outside the gate of the yamen all the time, and watched him go away, and then in the pouring rain, he hid under the huge official umbrella held by the umbrella man, and leisurely stepped on the gravel paved road and returned to his inner house.
After a short rest, a porter came in to report that the Lord had come to visit.
Previously, Tong Ju followed the former prefect to the Shili Long Pavilion to greet him, and Tong Ju was an important adjutant of the prefect, so he was able to stay in the small pavilion with the prefect without getting wet by the rain, and at the same time exchanged a few words with the new prefect Wei Wende. Wei Wende has a good impression of this Xuanzhou City Judge, who is humble, enthusiastic and polite.
At that moment, the prefect of Wei hurriedly ordered to meet in the flower hall of the inner house. He straightened his official robe and walked along the corridor to the flower hall, where the carved wooden chair sat Hu Tongju, who had just met.
Hu Tongju stood up and greeted him with a smile on his face, and said: "Lord Prefect, this is the case, our colleagues from the two yamen in Xuanzhou Prefecture and County, as well as the local squires and celebrities in Xuanzhou, set up a banquet in Xuanzhou Restaurant tonight, to welcome the adults and wash the dust, and respectfully invite the adults to come." ”
It is inevitable to usher in this kind of scene, and it is also a beginning to contact all walks of life in Xuanzhou, of course Wei Wende wants to go, so he nodded and said with a smile: "It's rare that your colleagues and squires are so loving, I don't know who participates?"
Of course, he needs to know the participants in advance, and have a number in mind, so that it will be convenient to talk when the time comes. Of course, Hu Tongju was already prepared, so he took out a fold from his sleeve at the moment, handed it over, and said, "This is the list of all the colleagues and squires who attended the banquet tonight, as well as the congratulatory gifts they presented to the adults, and please smile at them." ”
In the end, the Xuanzhou officials are in the land of fish and rice, a rich land, and this congratulatory gift must not be light.
Wei Wende smiled slightly, took the fold, slowly opened it, and looked at them one by one. Not only do you have to look at your name, position or identity, but you also need to look at the following gifts.
Sure enough, the amount of gift money was much heavier than in other places, which made Wei Wende's heart bloom.
When many people give gifts to themselves, people will subconsciously make comparisons, and will pay attention to who gives the most and who gives the least. Wei Wende, of course, can't be conventional. So after reading it, he looked back again and found that the one who sent the most was actually the owner of a Han medical hall, known as Doctor Han.
Wei Wende not only showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, this Han Divine Doctor is really sensible. Since he is called a miracle doctor, his medical skills must be good, this kind of person must be handed over, and in the future, if he and his family have a disaster star disease, they will inevitably find him.
Wei Wende smiled and nodded, then continued to look and found the one that had been sent the least.
When he saw this, he couldn't help but be furious in his heart, -- this man had only given a mere four taels of silver! And the penultimate was twenty taels of silver, and the difference between the penultimate was sixteen taels of silver!
Wei Wende's fat face suddenly pulled down. Is this man deliberately unconventional?
Wei Wende's cold gaze swept up, and he saw that the person who gave the gift was Yang Mingde, Yang Xianmao and his son, and his identity was Huichun Hall Langzhong.
If it is his or his family's birthday, a gift such as a New Year's holiday, then Wei Wende will laugh at it, and he won't care, how much is the heart of the family, but now it is different, now he is the official of Xuanzhou's parents, and these gift-givers are all squires and celebrities who can get on the stage in Xuanzhou. Isn't sending this bit of silver underestimating him, the new parent official of Xuanzhou?
However, Wei Wende is a person with a city government, and of course he will not show annoyance because of the small amount of gift money.
He casually gently put the fold on the coffee table, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said: "The love of the local people in Xuanzhou for their parents and officials really touched the official!"
"That's, that's, you want to pay your respects. ”
Wei Wende nodded and said, "I looked at this fold just now, and there is a Han Divine Doctor on it. This person is known as a miracle doctor, so he must be very good at healing?"
Hu Tong hurriedly said: "Doctor Han's medical skills are top in Xuanzhou, not only Xuanzhou, but also many people and patients in nearby states and counties have come to ask him to go for treatment. Although the cost of his visit is frighteningly high, there is an endless stream of people who flock to it, after all, our Wuyue is the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are still many well-off families. Of course, most of the people lived in poverty, and the prefect also felt it along the road. There is a lot of rain this year, and a lot of rice is washed away before it can be headed, but I am afraid that this year will be a bad harvest year, and if the rain continues like this, causing floods, then I am afraid that the people will be even more miserable. ”
Wei Wende's eyebrows furrowed slightly, on the first day he came, this general judge told himself about the harvest of the people's crops, as if he loved the people more than himself, can't you talk about other things, such as the wind and snow? These annoying things can't be broken after two days!
Wei Wende was a little unhappy that Hu Tong's judgment was too serious, but he didn't show it, and listened quietly to what he said, then nodded and said: "Yes, my Great Song Dynasty has just been founded, and everything is in ruins, and it is like this everywhere." Wu Yue is better than other places. Today's emperor attaches great importance to medicine, and the people are suffering, in addition to money, food, and food, there is also medicine. When you are sick, you have the money to see a doctor, and you can meet a good man when you see a doctor, which is a blessing. Although many people are well-off, once someone falls ill and Lang Zhong cannot be cured for a long time, the family will fall back into poverty. There are many such cases, and it is heart-wrenching. Therefore, how to do a good job in our pharmacy and medical hall in Xuanzhou is also a matter for us to benefit the people. ”
When Wei Wende heard this, he nodded frequently and said, "That's the case, our Xuanzhou Langzhong is indeed stronger than other prefectures and counties." ”
"That's natural, you have Lang Zhong who is known as a miracle doctor here, and he is naturally stronger than other states and counties. ”
Hu Tongju shook his head slightly, showed a somewhat mysterious and smug smile on his face, and said: "My lord doesn't know, in addition to Dr. Han in Xuanzhou, there is also a Xiaolang Zhong who has medical skills like a god recently, and his medical skills are breathtaking. ”
"Oh, who's this little man?
Hu Tongju said: "He is the son of Yang Mingde in the Huichun Hall, named Yang Xianmao. This person turned out to be an apprentice of Wuyue Guotai Hospital, and after returning from the Tai Hospital, he learned a magical medical skill, which can disembowel people and heal their wounds. ”
