There was a thick stack of documents piled up on the table, and after a busy morning, he only processed a small half, and he finally knew that it was not easy to be a good county magistrate, and there were too many facts that he needed to deal with.

For example, civil-related matters are generally reported by the people when they are caught and patrolled.

If the trivial matter can be reconciled directly, if it cannot be reconciled, the person involved will be brought into the county office, and the clerk will write a document and submit it to the county office, and the county will propose a solution, and finally submit it to the county order for approval.

If the prefectural order agrees, it's very easy and can be passed directly. If you don't agree, you can either hand it back to the county government and ask the county to come up with a new plan, or think of a solution yourself.

Therefore, if there is a good county Cheng, Lu Yuan will be much easier, but now that he has turned against Li Xiancheng, he naturally needs to be carefully approved, and he must not be sloppy.

Civil affairs are very trivial, such as who stole whose chickens, there are big insects in Jiming Mountain in the west of the city, and a wooden bridge in the east of the city has collapsed.

In addition to civil and criminal affairs, the process is exactly the same, but instead the county lieutenant will give a solution, and finally he will approve it.

In addition, there are also things that need to be approved, such as business, taxation, land division, transfer of officials, and application for income.

Among them, Lu Yuan paid special attention to Yulu, an official of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who had three incomes.

One is the division of land, during the Tang Dynasty, the Yongye field system was abolished, leaving only the post field system, the seven-grade officials can be divided into four hectares of post land, selected by themselves, can hire people to cultivate, and the rent per mu of land rent shall not exceed six cents.

However, this kind of harvest is once a year, and the grain can not be harvested until the end of the year. According to the current yield per mu, Lu Yuan calculated that if he collected six cents, he could probably collect more than sixty taels of silver a year.

The second item is to send grain, seven officials can send 100 stone of grain a year, one stone is equal to 10 buckets, the current price of rice is 50 yuan per bucket, equivalent to 50 taels of silver, but it is also a year, and it cannot be counted on at present.

The third item is the income of silver money, which is ten taels of silver per month for the seventh grade official, and it is issued once a month, and Lu Yuan is currently looking forward to this.

The official income is generally prepared by the Si Hu Zuo to apply to the household department this month for the county's income list, and after approval, the imperial court will issue a receipt voucher.

The Jingguan picks it up at the Gyeongcang, and the local officials collect it at the nearest Zhengcang, and after withdrawing the money, the prefectural order presides over the distribution.

Lu Yuan still has more than 80 yuan at the moment, and there are only less than ten days before the end of the month, and he can survive with a careful calculation, but fortunately, he moved to the county government and saved a sum of money.

The work system of the county government starts from the morning hour to the end of the evening unitary hour, which is equivalent to seven o'clock to five o'clock in the later generations, and the noon is the rest time, and the work is ten days and one day off.

However, this kind of system can't restrain officials at all, for example, before Lu Yuan, Li Wencheng and the four of them did not abide by the time of the upper and lower government offices at all, they came over every day to shake around, showed their faces and left the county government, and they didn't come when there was something to do.

The work of his subordinates was handled by his henchmen, and no one dared to take care of them.

Now that Lu Yuan is in the second hall, several officials are a little depressed and irritable in their hearts, and the lazy habits they have developed for a long time have made it difficult for them to work patiently.

At noon, when it was lunch time, Li Xiancheng had just left the county office, and he saw Li County Lieutenant and Yuan Zhushu waiting outside, Li County Lieutenant sighed angrily: "This day is really not people's lives, let's go to the Eight Immortals Tower for a drink, I'll have a treat!" ”

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it!" Master Yuan sighed, and he didn't know what he hadn't thought of.

Li Xiancheng still held his breath and said with a smile:

"Aren't you uncomfortable with himself? When he used to be the commander of Dali Temple, he lived a life of arrogance and lasciviousness, drunkenness and gold. Let's consume each other and see who can consume whom! ”

There was a free public meal at noon in the yamen, and when Lu Yuan saw the food brought by the yamen, he saw that there were two dishes, one soup and one pot of rice on the plate.

He had eaten the bread for almost ten days, and when he saw the plate of meat, his saliva was about to flow.

However, he still remembered the events of last night vividly, and he didn't dare to be careless at all, so he asked the official if there was a silver needle, and the result was really there.

Poke the inside of the meal a few times with a silver needle, the silver needle has not changed color, and the food is non-toxic!

He couldn't hold back it, with a smile on his face, he rushed to the back house with a plate.

……

Hou Kaishan was busy all morning today, and spent an hour in the officer's room to complete the formalities for the inauguration of the team, and the rest of the time was spent on rectifying the strong class officials.

Except for the necessary servants such as guarding the prison and the city gate, the rest of the people were gathered by him in the squad room and rectified together.

There is a cautious side of his character, and there is also a decisive and ruthless side, at first most people did not obey him, many people looked lazy, and only listened to three points out of ten orders to him.

So he broke the arms of two men on the spot, beat five of them ten times, and dismissed three of them, and the rest were honest.

He knows very well that these people are only obedient on the surface, and they still resist in their hearts, and the quality of these people is too poor, not to mention martial arts, some people have thin arms and legs, he really looks down on them, and he is worried that he will make mistakes in the future, so he wants to find some good hands to replace.

He is a native of Yuezhou, Chu State, born in the local sect Eagle Claw Gate, and he and his brother are both Eagle Claw Gate elders.

However, half a year ago, he heard that Yuezhou was occupied by the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he was adrift before, so he didn't communicate with the sect, but now that he has settled down, he thought about inquiring about his brother and the Eagle Claw Sect brother to see if he could ask some good hands to help him.

Out of the class room, he went to the fast class room. Originally, he wanted his son to help under him, but the rabbit cub wanted to catch fast, and felt that it was more majestic to arrest robbers, Hou Kaishan couldn't stand him stubbornly, so he had to go to Zhanyuan with a thick old face.

Entering the room, Hou Kaishan noticed that there were a few more good players in the catcher, all of whom were fresh faces. He knew that Zhan Yuan was the dart master of the Changwei Dart Bureau, and secretly guessed that these people were the dart masters that Zhan Yuan had found to help, and smiled slightly, and the heart path hero saw the same thing.

Seeing him come in, he had already entered the inner room to report, and Zhan Yuan hurriedly greeted him and said, "Brother Hou, is the county lord looking for me?" ”

Hou Kaishan shook his head and glanced left and right. Zhan Yuan immediately understood and pulled him into the inner room.

The two sides sat down, and Hou Kaishan said: "Brother Zhan, I have something I want to ask you for help." ”

"Whatever Brother Hou said, if there is something to do, just explain it, as long as the younger brother does his best, there will be no excuses."

Seeing that he was so humble, Hou Kaishan nodded secretly and said, "My son wants to be a fast catcher, I don't know if there is a place for Brother Zhan?" ”

Zhan Yuan smiled and said: "Of course there is, Brother Hou Ming'er will let Little Brother Hou come over." ”

"Thank you." The two exchanged a few more polite words, and Hou Kaishan left the class room.

It was noon, everyone finished their work and was ready to eat, Hou Kaishan did not go to his own room, but ran to the second hall to wait, and soon the meal for the county magistrate arrived, he stopped the official to check it, and only after making sure that the food was not poisonous was relieved.

The food delivery officer glared fiercely at his departing back.

Back in the class room, after having lunch in his room, he went back to Su Liuying's courtyard, Hou Yue had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Hou Kaishan coming back, he hurriedly asked, "Daddy, how is it?" ”

"Zhan Zhutou agreed, and you can go to the county office tomorrow to go through the formalities."

Hou Yue couldn't help but cheer, Hou Kaishan lowered his voice and said: "Let me tell you one more thing, Lu Xianggong asked us to move to the county government's house, let's move over tonight!" ”

Hou Yue was pleasantly surprised: "Great, I can finally move out of here!" ”

His voice was quite loud, and Su Liuying, who was walking towards this side under the corridor in the distance, was shocked when he heard this, stopped his steps, and turned around and went back after a while.

Hou Kaishan didn't see her, and scolded angrily: "Stinky boy, Miss Su is kind enough to take us in, how can you talk?" ”

Hou Yue was in a very good mood, and he didn't refute, and said with a smile: "Of course Sister Su is good, but it's better to live in the county government." ”

In fact, an Oiran like Su Liuying is now extremely respected in the hearts of those wealthy scholars, and no one dares to look down on her.

On the contrary, those ordinary people, or people like Hou Kaishan's father and son, don't know much about the difference between Oiran and ordinary prostitutes, and subconsciously still look down on her identity, and they will still inadvertently hurt her in words and deeds.

Of course, a person like Hou Kaishan would not take a nap at noon, so he went out of the courtyard and headed for the "post donkey" in the city. There are two ways to send letters in the Southern Tang Dynasty: "post post" and "post donkey", the post post only sends official letters, and the post donkey is a private service.

There are only two post donkeys in She County, and both of them asked, and it costs 100 yuan to send a letter to Yuezhou, so how can he have so much money at the moment, so he is ready to wait for the payment of Lu and then send the letter.

He was just about to leave when one of the guys of the "Flying Hoof" said something in the boss's ear, and the boss's eyes lit up and shouted, "This master, please wait a moment." ”

Hou Kaishan turned around and wondered, "What?" ”

The boss of the post donkey smiled and said, "May I ask if you are the Hou Kaishan Hou Ye who took office yesterday?" ”
