Chapter 374: Personal Interrogation
Perhaps because the income of the people in Linlang County is not too high, this house is only four taels of silver per month.
In terms of Gongsun Jian's eight taels of silver from the six-grade officials, although this is a bit much four taels of silver per month, but after all, Gongsun Jian is alone and has no worries, so timely fun is the best life for Gongsun Jian.
Yaxing also has a business of introducing people, but looking at the expensive price on the list, Gongsun Jian can only choose a servant in the end.
After all, the servant's salary is only more than 200 wen a month, and what about the maid? That's 500 yuan a month.
For this expense, Gongsun Jian was a little unbearable.
After all, in such a big house, it is impossible for Gongsun Jian to choose only one servant to do things, plus the gatekeeper, cook, clean, and serve tea and water, a total of six people.
Of course, some people have more wages and some have less wages, but this adds up to one or two pieces of silver per month.
If it weren't for Gongsun Jian's eight taels a month, maybe he wouldn't need a servant, and he would just let Gu Qing do things.
The monthly income is eight taels, the expenses are five taels, and the final balance is three taels.
However, Gongsun Jian also understands that maintaining good interpersonal relationships also costs money, so basically it would be good to have one or two balances every month.
Fortunately, the officials in the county town paid it once a month, otherwise Gongsun Jian would have to borrow money from Gu Qing.
When everything was ready, and it was already evening, I asked the new chef to cook a good meal, added a meal to everyone, and after a few words of encouragement, I hurried back to my room to sleep.
Early the next morning, under the awakening of the servant, Gongsun Jian finished washing up and finished breakfast, and followed Gu Qing to the criminal office.
However, what surprised him a little was that as soon as he left the house, Gu Qing beside him was a little sullen.
"Brother Gu, why are you still unhappy that you have moved to a new home?" Gongsun Jian asked curiously.
Hearing Gongsun Jian's words, Gu Qing over there was a little embarrassed, and when Gongsun Jian was curious, that Gu Qing finally spoke.
"My lord, why don't you recruit a few maids?"
Gongsun Jian rolled his eyes, of course he wanted to recruit a maid, but didn't he have no money? I can't even recruit if I want to!
However, Gu Qing's careful thinking Gongsun Jian understood.
Therefore, as soon as his heart moved, he pretended to be curious and asked, "Brother Gu, aren't the servants enough for you to call?" ”
"But these are all men, isn't there some yin and yang imbalance?" Gu Qing said with some embarrassment.
He was afraid that Gongsun Jian would laugh at him, so he didn't dare to directly say that he would let Gongsun Jian recruit a few female maids.
In fact, when he saw that Gongsun Jian only recruited servants, Gu Qing was so depressed that he couldn't sleep all night.
After all, when he went out on the mission, he thought that he could finally get out of the group of men, but he never expected that the mission target would not even recruit a maid.
If it is said that it is not easy to recruit in Tianyuan, but now that he has arrived in the county seat, Gongsun Jian has even recruited servants to come in, so Gu Qing is naturally very unhappy.
What did he apply for a long-term assignment for?
Isn't it just to see the world of flowers outside?
Otherwise, the last time he saw Yang Cuilan, Gu Qing wouldn't have been eager to salivate.
Gongsun Jian secretly laughed in his heart after hearing Gu Qing's words, but his face still pretended to be thinking.
It's just that, under Gu Qing's heartfelt expression, Gongsun Jian sighed, stretched out his hands and said to him: "Brother Gu, I don't have any money here?" ”
"I have, I have." As soon as Gongsun Jian's words fell, Gu Qing over there couldn't wait to say.
"But I can't use your money, can I? How embarrassing it is. Gongsun Jian said with an embarrassed face, of course, he must have blossomed in his heart.
What he was waiting for was Gu Qing's words, he didn't have to pay for it himself, and he could still have a few maids to serve, Gongsun Jian was very beautiful at this time.
As he expected, seeing Gongsun Jian's embarrassed expression, Gu Qing over there said with a smile: "Where is the matter, my lord, this money is on me, I can't let you suffer, right?" ”
Although these words seem to be to prevent Gongsun Jian from suffering, it is a pity that the acting skills are really a little vulgar, so Gongsun Jian can see it at once.
However, after all, Gongsun Jian originally thought so, so he didn't say anything else to avoid any accidents.
He just said with a satisfied face: "Brother Gu is still good to me!" My Gongsun Jian has a brother like you, and this life is enough. ”
"My lord, with your words, my Gu Qing will not live in vain in this life." Gu Qing also said with a smile, but in his opinion, this was not too fake, but in the eyes of Gongsun Jian, it was full of loopholes.
"Okay, when the government is released in the evening, let's go to Yaxing to recruit a few maids, what do you think?" Gongsun Jian nodded and said.
"Yes, my lord, I will listen to you."
Although Gu Qing really wanted to go to Yahang to have a look now, he was still a little afraid that Gongsun Jian would laugh at him, so he held back his restless heart.
Seeing that Ying Mao's time was approaching, Gongsun Jian, who didn't want to be late on the first day, left Gu Qing behind and hurriedly walked towards the Criminal Division.
Gu Qing, who was still smiling behind him, saw this, and hurriedly chased after him.
When I came to the door of the criminal department, there were many officials signing in one after another.
When the group of people saw Gongsun Jian, they all showed a puzzled expression.
After all, this is Ying Mao's time, how did Gongsun Jian, an official from the sixth grade, come here if he doesn't go to his yamen.
However, after all, there are well-informed people who already knew that the new director had arrived yesterday, so he guessed that Gongsun Jian was the new director.
So, he hurriedly trotted to Gongsun Jian's side.
With a smile on his face, he said, "Dare to ask your lordship, but Gongsun Jian is in charge of Gongsun Jian?" Chen Guangrong. ”
Looking at this Chen Guangrong who was wearing a seventh-grade official uniform, Gongsun Jian's heart was very impressed.
Of course, what he admired was that Chen Guangrong dared to come up to say hello when he saw that he had never seen him, wasn't he afraid of recognizing the wrong person?
However, as soon as this idea came out, Gongsun Jian instantly dispelled the admiration in his heart, which should be for emotion.
Because Chen Guangrong's sentence is a question sentence, even if Gongsun Jian is not the head of the criminal department, he will not be dissatisfied when he listens to his respectful question.
On the contrary, if he is really the new head of the Criminal Division, then Chen Guangrong's words will win his favor.
After all, among so many Wuyang seven-rank officials, he was the only one who stood up to welcome him, although many people didn't know the identity of Gongsun Jian, but in such an obvious contrast, everyone would have a good impression of Chen Guangrong.
Therefore, Gongsun Jian was no exception, and said to him with a smile: "This official is indeed Gongsun Jian, and he came here for the first time today." ”
Hearing this, Chen Guangrong over there was pleasantly surprised, but he didn't show it on his face, and hurriedly respectfully took Gongsun Jian to Ying Mao to sign.
Because Gongsun Jian had already reported his name, when Chen Guangrong took Gongsun Jian to cut in line, no one dared to express an objection.
Taking advantage of this, Chen Guangrong himself also inserted a pair and signed his name by the way.
Even though Gongsun Jian didn't speak, Chen Guangrong still warmly treated Gongsun Jian to visit the criminal department.
The entire criminal department is divided into the inner and outer offices, and there are a total of seven people in the inner office, including two people from the seventh grade, four people from the seventh grade, and the rest is a positive eight-grade official transferred from the lower county.
The responsibilities of the internal government are somewhat miscellaneous, in addition to being responsible for the cases in the county, they also have to sort out the case materials of the whole county.
The foreign government is fifteen people, three people are seven products, and eight people are from seven products, and the rest are all eight officials.
Their responsibilities are relatively simple compared to those of the internal government, and they only need to be responsible for the cases in each county.
Of course, in addition to these official officials, there are dozens of officials, most of whom are relatively outstanding catchers in each county and have been transferred to the county seat for training.
However, for this, Gongsun Jian did not dare to agree.
After all, how can there be comfort in the county, there are not many of their top bosses in the county, and they are usually majestic.
But when they arrived in the county town, it was different, not only were there also officials of the eighth rank in charge of them, but there were also dozens of officials above the seventh rank who were also their superiors.
It can be said that they have directly changed from grandfathers to grandchildren.
In addition, although those who are in the eighth rank are still servants, they have official status after all, so they basically perform well and can still be promoted.
Just like Lin Changqing, if he is transferred from the county order to the county seat, although his identity has changed from the head catcher of the eighth rank to the official of the eighth grade, it looks like he has been demoted, but in reality, it is obvious that he has the hope of promotion.
It is precisely for this reason that in addition to those who want to eat and wait for death, many head catchers want to be promoted to the county.
Looking at the roster in his hand, Gongsun Jian was very dissatisfied.
Although it is said that there are hundreds of people under his control, the problem is that the previous director of the Criminal Division has already left, and even before Gongsun Jian was transferred, the position of the head of the Criminal Division has been vacant for more than a month.
It is precisely because of this that Gongsun Jian must rely on his own efforts to find out the entire criminal department.
Moreover, Gongsun Jian also suspected that there must be people in this group who were dissatisfied with him.
After all, if Gongsun Jian hadn't come, several Zhengqipin deacons would most likely have been promoted to the position of chief.
Even Chen Guangrong, who had just respectfully led him to visit the entire Criminal Division, was among them.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Jian glanced at Chen Guangrong, who was still smiling beside him, without a trace.
Unlike before, when he thought that Chen Guangrong wanted to gain his favor as soon as possible in order to stabilize his position, at this time, Gongsun Jian was a little suspicious Don't look at this Chen Guangrong may seem to be smiling on the surface, but in his heart he may be scolding himself, and he is even likely to contact himself with a bad purpose.
Smiling slightly, Gongsun Jian opened his heart of temptation, "Deacon Chen, this official has just arrived, not only can you tell this official about the internal affairs of the criminal department?" ”
Hearing Gongsun Jian's words, Chen Guangrong in front of him was stunned, he didn't know what he was thinking, and then he said embarrassedly: "My lord, I think there is nothing to say in our criminal department, and you are very welcome." ”
As soon as he said this, the worries in Gongsun Jian's heart were eliminated a little.
If this Chen Guangrong approached him with a bad purpose, then it is very likely that he would take this opportunity to point out to himself his enemies, or innocent people.
But Chen Guangrong in front of him didn't say anything, so Gongsun Jian's thoughts in his heart just now that he was worried about whether he had any purpose were eliminated a little.
The reason why it is a little bit is because Gongsun Jian has been in contact with Chen Guangrong for too short a time after all, and he still doesn't know if Chen Guangrong is a thoughtful person.
After all, people can disguise, and he doesn't guarantee that Chen Guangrong in front of him will say such a thing, just to dispel his doubts.
And all this needs to be observed slowly later.
However, he couldn't put his thoughts on his face in front of him, so he said with a smile: "It seems that Deacon Chen doesn't know much either!" Then forget it, wait for the official to get acquainted with everyone in the future. ”
"My lord, then I will retire first." Smiling slightly, Chen Guangrong hurriedly said.
