The prefectural order is very busy, and there are many things to do every day.

Heishui County is not small, there are many towns below, and the population is more than 300,000.

The empire has a population of one billion, and Heishui County is mainly a mountainous area, with relatively little farmland, and the population is not as good as those plain counties.

In addition to adjudicating cases every day, there are also arrests of some petty thieves and various disputes, and it is very busy anyway.

Unless Wang Lanling is a major business, he generally does not go to the county office.

This time, I came to the gate of the county commander's house, and was soon invited into the house by the housekeeper.

Because of the relationship between coming over often, even if he doesn't report it, Wang Lanling can walk in under the watchful eye of the doorman.

Wang Lanling soon met Mrs. Dongfang who was playing with her grandson, and told Mrs. Dongfang about the matter.

Mrs. Dongfang handed the child to the mother-in-law next to her, "You take the child out to play, this matter is not good for the child to hear." ”

The old woman soon went out with the child in her arms, while Mrs. Dongfang stayed in the house with the ladies of the house.

"I don't know about this yet, I'll ask him when the master comes back, and someone will inform you when the time comes."

The Oriental Lady is not clear about the customs here, and she does not know what the funeral process is here.

Every place has its own rules, and it's the governor who died, and it's also his husband's colleague who is dead, so he has to go to the condolences no matter what.

Dongfang Wei is the county order, and if the governor is dead, he must be going, this is the rule.

Wang Lanling is different, he actually wants Dongfang Wei to go on his behalf, and he also donates the money on his behalf.

Seeing that he was going to follow, Wang Lanling was also very helpless.

I've thought about dropping it on the grounds of study, but I guess this kind of reason is probably not useful.

If someone says to themselves, "You still have to go to school, you don't have to go."

If that's the case, great!

Wang Lanling came over to hear this, but Mrs. Dongfang didn't have that kind of ideological awareness......

Mrs. Dongfang looked at Wang Lanling and said, "Do you know how you all do the funerals here?" ”

Wang Lanling shook his head, "I don't know." ”

Mrs. Dongfang said: "It's a good thing not to know, you help me ask people, is there any taboo here, my lord doesn't know anything about things here, you remind me more." ”

Wang Lanling quickly replied: "Where is it, the county magistrate is aware of everything, and I heard my brother say that the people in the yamen are learning Mandarin now, and the convenience of communication should not be a problem." ”

The leaders above can't understand the words, and the people below naturally have to find a way.

It's like going on a trip, so you don't have to worry about your foreign language being bad.

Whoever can understand my words will let Uncle Ben's money be earned!

So there are a lot of people out there who can speak human language, so you don't have to worry about language problems at all.

It's the same here, when Dongfang Wei is the big leader here, Gao Shaohan, who is an errand boy in the yamen, naturally works overtime to learn to speak people.

But it's not Mandarin, it's the same Mandarin as Dongfang Wei!

Ordinary martial arts masters only learn one kind of martial arts, because they learn too much, it is easy to mess up.

This kind of thing is manifested in the yamen, that is, except for a few who learn quickly, the rest of the people's Mandarin has a feeling of neither yin nor yang......

Mrs. Dongfang smiled and nodded, thinking that Wang Lanling was a good young man.

"It's a pity, if it weren't for Miss Zhao, I would have thought of introducing you to a good family."

Wang Lanling smiled awkwardly, he just wanted to marry a rich daughter-in-law in order to prevent the marriage of these people.

After that, things were much easier, Wang Lanling went home to eat and sleep, and the next day the Dongfang family sent someone to tell him how much it was.

The county order is to give fifty dollars!

After Wang Lanling heard it, he simply wanted to scold the street, this person burned so much money!

Although Lord Xiao Wang now has more than 1,000 yuan, this money can't be moved for the time being, so he can only look at it and hide it, otherwise it will be a lot of trouble.

"This horse rider is not reliable at all!"

Wang Lanling scolded, and then called Zhao Wenrou and asked Zhao Wenrou to ride a horse and take him out.

He sat in front of Zhao Wenrou, who rode his horse and soon ran to the side of the Civil Division.

The Civil Code Department is responsible for counting the population registration, holding celebrations, marriage registration, birth registration, cattle, sheep and livestock registration, occupation registration, and it can be regarded as a Qingshui Yamen, which is in the west of the city like the Dung Division.

When Wang Lanling has nothing to do, he will also come to the Civil Code Department to go around, and Zhou Wende, the director of the Civil Code Department, has a good relationship with him, and sold him rice, grain, and various materials at a low price at the earliest.

"Brother Zhou, that's the way it is, we can't compare with the county magistrate, you have to understand this, fifty yuan is our salary for half a year!"

Zhou Wende didn't expect that the county order would cost fifty yuan, and he believed Wang Lanling's words.

"If the county magistrate gives fifty, we only need to be less than him, or ...... Thirty? ”

If Wang Lanling is willing to give thirty, he will not come.

He said seriously: "Thirty is too much, in my opinion...... We are all honest petty officials, and it is difficult for us to make ends meet, how can we produce so much? In my opinion, ten dollars is enough, almost a month's salary. ”

Don't look at the difference of just twenty yuan, what is it bad for Wang Lanling to do something with these twenty yuan, he has to send money to a dead man who has not seen him twice?

Zhou Wende showed a look of embarrassment, he actually tended to give less, but this matter does not depend on their own thoughts.

"It can be, but everyone else gives thirty or forty, and we will pay ten yuan, which is a bit bad."

It's mainly a matter of face, if it's not a matter of face, Zhou Wende doesn't want to go.

"What's wrong? That's a month's salary! If we don't embezzle, where will we get the surplus money to squander it so much? Xiao Wang was shocked.

He quickly said: "It doesn't matter, let's go over first and give it first!" As long as a few of us started and gave ten yuan in unison, most of the people behind would also think about it. ”

Zhou Wende thought about it this and felt that it made sense, that is, it was just to get up early and go early, if he could save twenty yuan for a conversation, it would be a good deal!

"Who else but us?"

Wang Lanling said: "The incorruptible yamen, the fat and flowing water must have been promoted by the former governor, and it is their business that they are willing to give more, and we will do what we can." ”

Zhou Wende pondered for a moment, and then said, "The county order is over there...... Isn't that a bit bad? Although I often quarreled before, after all, I was a colleague of the prefectural magistrate, and I worked together. ”

Wang Lanling had already thought about this problem and said: "It's okay, the less we give, the more generous the adults!" As long as you find a way to get the last adult to go over and give money, and he gives the most, it'll be fine, and if anyone is richer than the county magistrate, there must be a problem. ”

Zhou Wende thought for a few seconds, and driven by his own desire to save money, he nodded and said, "Hah! ”

This kind of thing, as long as someone has a bad head, it is easy for everyone to give less.

is not his own relative, and besides, the Liu family has lost power without that governor, and it should make way for the rest of them.
