The newly appointed Qi Zhi County made a simple, rude, direct and straightforward arrangement, and completely assigned the affairs of the county government. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

With his signature smile, Ma Zhongtai slowly walked out of the county office as usual, only his movements were slightly stiff.

The officials in the yamen are quite familiar with him, and when they see him like this, they already have a judgment in their hearts: tsk, the first time Xinzhi County and Ma County Cheng fought each other, Ma County Cheng lost!

And that Xinzhi County is really not a good talker.

Regardless of whether Qi Jinzhi can sit on the throne of Zhixian or not, no matter what kind of revenge the Ma family will have next, the officials have only one thought at this moment, yes, or obediently listen to Lord Qi's words and go on an errand honestly.

They are not Ji Liuzhi and other henchmen of the Ma family, let alone Ma Zhongtai, if they really provoke the displeasure of Xinzhi County, their errand will not be saved.

In Daqi, such non-subordinate servants belong to the lowly nationality, and they are the lowest level of society, and their descendants cannot take the imperial examination, and their female dependents are not allowed to wear gold and jade, silk and satin, and their monthly salaries are pitiful.

But no one wants to lose this errand easily, because as a servant, the legal salary is small, but there is a lot of gray income. Especially errands like catchers, kudin, jailers, and executioners are even more oily.

Wusa is remote and barren, and it is not easy for ordinary people to live.

Therefore, after the order was over, all the officials were busy.

According to Qi Jinzhi's arrangement, Zhou Wenyuan personally wrote a set of rules and regulations for the county government, and also arranged shifts for the third class of officials, and pasted them directly on the shadow wall outside the detention room.

Most of the officials in the yamen were illiterate, and Zhou Wenyuan also arranged for two scribes to stand in front of the shadow wall, read them word by word to everyone, and explained them in detail, so that everyone could understand.

Meng Fu took over the account books and other things handed over by Ma Zhongtai from Qi Jinzhi, took two account rooms borrowed from the Xie caravan, closed the door, took the abacus, and checked the accounts cracklingly.

Liu Hu selected ten people from the guards who were not outstanding, had relatively low kung fu, but had flexible brains, and ordered them to directly change into soap clothes and turn into the catchers of the county government.

Among the three classes of officials, there were eighteen people who came to the county government on time, and they passed the 'assessment' of the Qi county order and stayed smoothly.

Liu Hu found a person who could read and hyphenate, took pen and ink and other things, and registered the situation of the eighteen people one by one.

The contents of the registration are also simple, such as name, age, place of origin, current residence, what relatives are in the family, what specialties are also registered, how many years you have worked in the yamen, what cases have you handled, what awards you have received, what punishments you have received, and so on.

"Little Duan Mao, hehe, it's the one who was on duty at the gate of the county government yesterday." Duan Mao smiled innocently and rubbed his nose awkwardly, looking loyal.

Liu Hu didn't underestimate him at all, yesterday Qi Dayong kicked over a cat, and the two sides almost fought.

Although it was not Liu Hu's hand, he and Qi Dayong were both confidants around Qi Jinzhi, and Liu Hu didn't believe that Duan Mao would really have no trouble.

And if Duan Mao is really a scheming rectum, he won't take the initiative to mention yesterday's 'conflict' like a person who has nothing to do at this time.

This person, hehe, kind of interesting.

Liu Hu narrowed his eyes, "Cat? Looks like you were born at night, huh? ”

Duan Mao was stunned.

It's not that Liu Hu guessed wrong, on the contrary, he guessed right.

But that's the problem.

Under normal circumstances, most Han people who don't know Miao will say when they hear his name, "A cheap name is easy to feed." ”

In fact, there is no reason for the word "cat" of Duan Mao. Cat is a transliteration, and in the Hmong language, it means night.

The Miao family's child is named after a cat, indicating that the child was born at night.

"Liu Tou'er is so powerful, he even knows this." Duan Mao covered the different colors under his eyes, and nodded stupidly, "The little one is born at night, and the grandfather at home said that it is called 'cat'......"

Liu Hu raised his chin at the person in charge of registration and motioned for him to continue questioning.

Duan Mao didn't dare to underestimate this reckless man who seemed to be rough and leafy, and replied cautiously.

There were not many people in the third class, and there were only those eighteen people who needed to be registered, and it was done in less than half an hour.

Liu Hu took the bound booklet, looked through it carefully, and then arranged the positions according to the specific situation of each person.

The ten Qi family guards were naturally fast shift catchers, and the other eighteen people, some went to stand guard at the yamen, some went to patrol the streets, and some went to patrol near the city gate, basically all of them had proper arrangements.

At noon, the people of the county quietly poked their heads out, but found that the county seat they were familiar with, especially the county ya, seemed to have changed its appearance, there were soap lis walking around on the street, and people in the dilapidated yamen were very lively.

Even a brand-new announcement was posted on the bulletin board near the city gate, and a literate errand officer next to it was responsible for reciting, telling the people in detail: Dear villagers, His Majesty the Emperor who is far away in the capital is wise and martial, knowing that we Wusa have no parents and officials, and the people have suffered, so he specially sent down Long'en and sent us a peerless good official Qi County Order who loves the people like a son. If you have any grievances or difficulties, you can go to the county government and ask Lord Qi to call the shots, Yunyun!

In front of the bulletin board, more and more people gathered, and gradually, there were voices on the originally lonely and empty streets.

Qi Jinzhi rode a horse and led a dozen guards to the city gate, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Zhou's method is really easy to use." When we come back from Wumeng, the county town will definitely become more and more lively. ”

Maybe there will be a lot of complaining 'bitter masters' at the gate of the Yamen County, Qi Jinzhi firmly believes that Ma Zhongtai (or the Ma family behind him)

I won't give up easily. If you don't make some trouble for Qi County's order, it doesn't match their identity as a local snake at all!

"Yes, I heard that after the things in the county government are settled, Mr. Zhou still wants to find a few brothers with big voices, starting from the county seat, surrounding the surrounding villages, towns, and villages, and promoting it all the way."

Qi Dayong, who was wearing ordinary guard clothes, said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou said that he will let all the people under his rule know your name, uncle, and also let those barbarians entrenched in the mountains and forests know that the county government has a serious chief official. ”

"This method is good," Qi Jinzhi said with a smile, "It's just that when the time comes, even Liang Yi, who is wandering around, will know." ”

Even if King Xiao Liang didn't know, some of Wusa's heroes would take the initiative to leak the news.

Oh, by the way, not only King Xiaoliang, but also the King of Annam!

"It's better to know, the small knife hasn't been stained with blood for a long time, and I want to take it out and sharpen it," Qi Dayong said proudly, his eyes were even more bloodthirsty, "It's okay if those Tartars don't come, if they really have the courage to come, the small ones will definitely let them come and go!" ”

Qi Jinzhi smiled, didn't say anything, and knocked down the stirrups, "It's not early, let's get out of the city early." ”

He was going to Wumeng to meet Shangguan, and the road was not easy, so they had to speed up.

"Yes!" Qi Dayong and the others responded, and rode their horses to follow.

More than ten horsemen rode out of the city gate quickly, all the way towards Wumeng, the horses' hooves trampled, leaving a piece of flying yellow dust.

At the gate of the city, a man dressed in broad clothes and national costumes cautiously poked his head out, and after Qi Jinzhi and the others left, he hurriedly spread his feet and went straight to Houya Street.

"Qi Jinzhi is out of the city? How many people did you bring with you? Ma Zhongtai asked eagerly.

He had long known that Qi Jinzhi would go to visit the prefect, so he ordered someone to go to the city gate in advance to keep an eye on it. Now that there is definite news, he must make good arrangements and give Qi Jinzhi a real dismount.

"That's right, the little one watched him go out with his own eyes. There are a total of more than a dozen guards, wearing a treasure knife at their waists, and all of them have a bad aura on their bodies, which should not be a good kind. ”

There was a man kneeling under the verandah of the house, bowing his head and replying respectfully.

"Only a dozen or so people? How can he be so big? ”

Ma Zhongtai frowned, something was wrong, Qi Jinzhi didn't look like a brainless person, he had just offended the Ma family, it was time to be on guard, how could he suddenly be so 'careless'?

With only a dozen or so people, he dared to go out of the city?

You must know that a few days ago, King Xiaoliang had just raided three county towns under the rule of Wumeng, and one of them happened to be between Wusa and Wumeng.

From Wusa to Wumeng, he must pass through the sphere of influence of King Xiaoliang, and Qi Jinzhi is not afraid of being 'cleaned up' by those Tartars?!

Also, even if King Xiaoliang's people don't do it, there are still several villages along the way, and those villagers have suffered a lot of Han people under the mountain, and they don't have a good impression of the government and the Han people.

If the villagers knew that Qi Jinzhi was a dog official sent by the imperial court, they would definitely take action!

Ma Zhongtai didn't believe it, and Qi Jinzhi didn't know about these situations.

But he just did it, it's not normal, it's not normal!

"Hmph, what's abnormal, that Han man surnamed Qi feels that he is more capable than others, so he wants to take the opportunity to show it. Wouldn't it be more convenient for us to do things with him if he brought fewer people? Wow, it's just a milky hairy boy, and it's worth your jealousy? ”

The second uncle of the Ma family patted the armrest of the chair impatiently and urged: "Just do it, do you want to do it or not?" ”

It's really ink, either send someone directly to set up an ambush, or they all go home to sleep, long-winded, grinding and chirping, a dignified Miao man, just like a woman!

Ma Zhongtai secretly rolled his eyes, no wonder he is also the son of Ah Gong, and Ah Dad would rather reuse the third uncle than promote the second uncle.

The county seat is not a cottage, and the rules in the village do not apply here at all.

But an old man in his fifties sitting in you said slowly: "Although the second child's words are a little rough, they are not unreasonable. Qi Jinzhi, I have also heard of this person, young and talented, quite arrogant. In the past two days, everything has gone well, and it is inevitable that he will have the idea that 'Usa is nothing more than this', and he may be negligent under the light of the enemy. ”

"Daddy, I'm worried that there is fraud in this matter," Ma Zhongtai's tone was much more respectful, and he hesitated and said: "Qi Jinzhi is the son of the former Southwest General, who has gone into the mountains several times to drive away innocent mountain people, and is the most treacherous and cunning person. The Han people marched to fight, and they paid attention to a 'soldier is not tired of cheating', in case this is a ploy of Qi Jinzhi and deliberately lures us to the bait, then what should we do? ”

Their Ma family just wanted to reproduce and develop in Usa, not to rebel.

If he sent private soldiers to rob and kill Qi Jinzhi, he caught the evidence...... The thousands of elite soldiers of the Shuixi battalion are not decorations.

The Annam Royal Mansion will not sit idly by, let alone the capital thousands of miles away.

angered the emperor in the palace, and said that their Ma family, that is, the entire southwest, can be flattened!

Ma Zhongtai grew up in the county since he was a child, accepted the Han culture, and enjoyed the Chinese costume and food, he didn't want to flee back to the mountains to be a 'mountain man' like his ancestors.

"My cousin is too worried," Second Uncle Ma's eldest son, Ma Zhongtai's cousin, said in a deep voice: "In my opinion, Qi Jinzhi may have no choice but to take a dozen people out of the city. Think about it, Qi Jin has just arrived, he is not familiar with the place, but he still wants to control the county, in this case, whether it is the front office, the back office, or the street, the city gate, you need sufficient manpower. Qi Jinzhi brought a total of seventy or eighty people, except for the dozen or so people who filled the vacancies in the county government, and minus the manpower of the guards, there were not many people left. ”

I have to say that there is some truth in Cousin Ma's statement.

When the head of the Ma family heard this, he thought for a long time before nodding, "It makes sense, so let's do it, whether it is Qi Jinzhi's plan or not, we have to teach him a lesson, otherwise, this Wusa will have to change his surname to Qi in the future." And their Ma family will become Qi Jinzhi's raft, and in the end they will simply be trampled under their feet.

Second Uncle Ma agreed loudly: "That's right, that's right, I'll order two hundred strong men, set up an ambush in Wufeng Mountain, and beat the surnamed Qi severely!" ”

All the people in the hall responded one after another.

The two elders spoke, and Ma Zhongtai didn't want to say anything more frustrating, so he nodded in agreement. Then the detailed planning began.

……

Let's say that Qi Jin and his pedestrians galloped for an hour and arrived at Wumeng.

After entering the city and finding the government office, Qi Dayong jumped off the horse and ran to the door to hand over Qi Jinzhi's greetings.

When the officials of the government heard that the new county order of Wusa asked to see the government honor, their eyes were round in surprise, but Qi Dayong was impatient, and urged again and again, and the officials came back to their senses and trotted into the yamen.

After a while, the official ran over breathlessly again, and said respectfully: "The government has an order to invite Qi County." ”

Wumeng's prefect's surname is Liang, two Jinshi, born in a poor family, and has been in Wumeng for more than ten years.

Qi Jinzhi had never seen Liang Zhifu, but he also inquired about his situation.

Liang Zhifu is fifty years old this year, a native of Guanzhong, smart and studious since childhood, and he has achieved fame at a young age.

It's a pity that Liang Zhifu is good at reading, but he is not good at being an official, he has an upright temperament, he doesn't know how to be flexible, he offends Shangguan one after another, and finally he was simply assigned to a wild place like Yunnan as a chief official, and he has been doing it for more than ten years, and he has not even had a chance to be promoted or transferred.

This is not the saddest, the most sympathetic thing about the Liang prefect is that even if he is a prefect in the remote and barren southwest, he cannot really be the master.

The area under the rule of the six tribes of Wumeng seems to be very large, but the land is barren, the official roads are impassable, the various ethnic groups are mixed, the Tusi and the wealthy clans have seized the sphere of influence, and the mountain people, the rogues, and the remnants of the previous dynasty have taken turns to find trouble.

Liang Zhifu has been an official for all these years, and basically he has not been stable for a day.

Not long ago, King Xiao Liang led thousands of rebels to loot the county seat, and the three counties under the rule of Wumeng were so bad that the gentry in those places ran to the government office to find the Liang prefect to 'explain'.

Parlance?

What is the statement?

Lao Tzu still has a stomach full of bitter water and grievances here, and there is nowhere to pour it.

Liang Zhifu complained frantically-

Also, you vulgar barbarians, when you pay taxes, pay food, and serve servitude on weekdays, you all run faster than rabbits, and you don't take your own house seriously.

Oh, now that I've suffered a disaster, I remember my house.

Straight mother, what are you doing as Lao Tzu? Use it if you want it, and throw it aside if you don't want to use it?!

When Qi Jinzhi came, the Liang Governor's Mansion had just sent away a group of gentry who came to 'cry', and they were secretly rubbing and scolding their mothers, and suddenly heard that the Wusa County Order was coming, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

It was still the friends around him who reminded him of two sentences, and the Liang Governor's Mansion remembered the official letter sent by the Ministry of Officials a few months ago.

"Let him go to the study," Liang Zhifu sighed, and said in his heart: Hey, there is another unlucky guy, but I don't know which noble person this Wusa County Order has offended.

Seeing the complicated eyes of Liang Zhifu, which were mixed with emotions such as schadenfreude and sympathy, he couldn't help but shake his head, before he felt that although Liang Zhifu was not familiar with general affairs, he was an upright and fair good official.

But...... Alas, I don't know when it started, the 'Liang Tietou' who dared to fight with Shangguan with his neck back then, has now become like this.

"The lower officials are all respectful, and I will meet the Lord Fuzun." Qi Jinzhi took a deep look.

"There is no need to be polite in the order of Qi County," Governor Liang sat behind the bookcase, looking Qi Jinzhi up and down.

I saw that he had fair skin, handsome facial features, a tall posture, clear eyes, a faint tone in his actions, and a martial artist's fierceness when he stood up.

Just looking at this appearance, he is actually a handsome young man who is both civil and military.

Liang Zhifu was amazed at first, and then there was a trace of jealousy in his heart, he was also a young talent, he Liang had a rough half of his life, and now he is even more like exile. On the other hand, this Qi family Erlang, his family was confiscated, and the family was almost defeated, but he could still get a seven-grade county order.

Well, Usa's prefectural order is not appropriate.

But Qi Jinzhi's complexion is too good, and he has not fallen into the depression and despair of a small border county at all, but instead of it, there is a kind of young man's unique sharpness and determination to move forward, which makes people feel inexplicable passion when they see it.

Once, he Liang someone also had such a passionate and enthusiastic time.

And now, the edges and corners have long been smoothed out by reality, and the spirit has been worn away by years of waiting and despair.

is fifty years old, but he is already like an old man in his sixties and seventies, and now when he sees a handsome young man who is full of vigor and vigor, he, he has an irrepressible envy, jealousy and hatred!

Governor Liang was looking at Qi Jinzhi, and Qi Jinzhi was also looking at him without a trace.

"Hey, isn't this Liang prefect from Tanhua, I think it should be a beautiful man with a beautiful appearance and brilliant writing, even if the years pass, the beautiful man should become a beautiful middle-aged, or a beautiful old man, and not a bad old man full of twilight in front of him."

Qi Jinzhi muttered secretly, speaking in his heart, he had long heard that Liang Zhifu would not be an official, and he did not understand the world, so he made a mess of his career, and he felt that the rumors were not credible at that time.

Now that he saw the real person, Qi Jinzhi had to nod: born from the heart, it is estimated that Liang Zhifu's more than ten years of life in the sea has been too aggrieved, and it is reflected in the appearance, and it has become what it is today!

Liang Zhifu originally wanted to chat with the 'fallen people' about a few family routines, and by the way to teach some experience as an official in Yunnan, but Qi Jinzhi's appearance made him deeply stimulated, and he didn't have the slightest intention to talk at this time, so he simply asked questions such as whether the journey was smooth, whether the county government was okay, and how well his family members, and then said a few words of encouragement with an official appearance, and then hastily sent Qi Jinzhi out.

Qi Jinyi replied one by one, seeing that the prefect of Liang was interested, but he didn't hide it at all, and he couldn't help but affirm again in his heart: This lord of the mansion really can't be an official, he doesn't even have the least common sense of officialdom, looking at the city government, he is not as good as a rookie in the new officialdom.

On the contrary, it was the friends around Liang Zhifu who were quite kind, and personally sent Qi Jinzhi out of the yamen, and whispered some things about the situation in Yunnan, such as bandits, such as Liang Reverse, such as those difficult toasts and wealthy families, and then mentioned a few words without attracting traces.

Qi Jinzhi is very grateful, no matter whether what this friend mentioned is useful or not, just looking at the kindness of others, it makes people's hearts burn, at least much stronger than the Liang prefect who can't even do superficial work.

"Also, a few days ago, the earth of Shu was shaken, and we were also affected here, a mountain village was mostly destroyed by the falling rocks, and two or three hundred people were affected by the disaster, and had to leave their hometowns-" Become homeless, or simply fall into the grass.

The curtain friend said it very vaguely, but Qi Jinzhi understood. It's just to let him be more careful on the way back, so as not to be robbed by mountain bandits and homeless people.

As for why there are displaced people, the reason is simple, without him, the Liang prefect will not act!

"Thank you sir for your advice!"

Qi Jinzhi sighed silently, secretly feeling sorry for this friend - a good smart and reasonable person, but he followed the wrong owner, alas, the future is worrying.

The curtain friend heard the regret in Qi Jinzhi's tone, his eyes flashed, and a thought faintly popped up.

However, he didn't say anything, and said goodbye with a smile.

"Uncle, came out so soon?"

Qi Dayong was a little puzzled, saying that their uncle came to visit Shangguan, according to the old practice of officialdom, Lord Fuzun should leave the uncle for a cup of tea, or simply leave a meal.

That's good, it didn't take a quarter of an hour for the uncle to go in. In such a short period of time, if you talk about eating tea slowly, even normal questions and admonishments are not enough.

"Let's go, while it's still early, let's go back directly."

Qi Jinzhi didn't say much, raised his eyes to look at the sun, and commanded in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Qi Dayong and a dozen or so guards turned over and followed Qi Jinzhi to the city gate.

"Uncle, did you say that on the way back, will we encounter any little thieves?" Compared with the gallop when they came, when they returned, the group deliberately slowed down. Qi Dayong was extremely bored and asked casually.

Qi Jinzhi looked ahead, but the corner of his eye quietly swept the slopes and dense forests on both sides of the mountain road, but he said disapprerovitically: "What are you afraid of, even if you meet Liang Wei's Tartars, with our brothers here, you can end it smoothly!" ”

But he muttered in his heart: robbery? Of course there will be robberies! But he wasn't worried, not only was he worried, he also wanted to add a fire and 'help' those robbers of the 'thieves'!
