Chu Tianxiu handed over the printing task of the first half of "The Stone Record" to the old craftsman Lu, and explained many trivial matters in the printing workshop clearly, straightened them out one by one, and just waited for the county commander to take office.

Early in the morning.

The Pingwang Mansion has prepared a luxurious carriage, and Li Yu took Di Er to prepare all the things that Xiao Duhou needed to carry to Danyang County.

There were all kinds of bedding, silk clothes, and bacon.

There are even fresh melons, fruits, and vegetables grown in the greenhouse of Pingwangfu, which are still cold and not easy to perish, and are enough to eat for several days.

After eating all these fresh fruits and vegetables, I am not afraid, anyway, Danyang County is close to Jinling City, and I send someone to send it every day.

is so well prepared, saying that it is going to Danyang County to take office, in fact, it is almost the same as going out of the city for an outing.

Chu Tianxiu was in a rather happy mood.

Out of Jinling City, King Ping's mansion, he, a son-in-law, finally didn't have to look at the face of the second lady and King Ping. He can travel freely with Li Yu and two maids, without scruples.

Chu Tianxiu, Li Yu, as well as Di Er and Zu Er got into one of the luxury carriages, and under the escort of a large team of guards from the Ping Wangfu, they were about to set off for Danyang County.

Chu Tianxiu suddenly found that there was a young man standing respectfully outside the carriage, and it was actually Li Kangnian.

Li Kangnian was also carrying a bag wrapped in coarse cloth, and it seemed that he was preparing to go.

Only then did Chu Tianxiu remember that Li Gannian was the middle first name in the palace examination, and he was going to go to other counties to take up the post of junior official. It seems that the place where he took office is quite close, and he didn't set off until today.

"Li Kangnian, where are you going to take office?"

Chu Tianxiu was curious.

"Uncle, don't you know?"

When Li Gannian saw that his uncle actually asked, his face was immediately full of embarrassment, and he hurriedly said: "The villain's father entrusted the relationship and made up for the lack of a county in Danyang County. After the villain, it will be the county under you. No, I'm going to go to Danyang County with you. ”

The biggest official under the county order is the county magistrate.

The county is an extremely important executive position in a county town second only to the county order, and it needs capable cadres.

It stands to reason that the newly appointed officials are generally the smallest officials in the county, and it is normal for them to directly fill the county officials by studying their qualifications and ranking seats, and being promoted according to their seniority and merit.

If the county takes a step further, there will be a small chance to become a county order.

Even if you are a gate lord from Jinling City, it is not easy to use it when you go to the county.

After all, other petty officials either have some identity background, or they are local landlords. Everyone is waiting for a promotion, and they won't give you face at all.

Li Kangnian was able to fill the vacancy in the county, which is also lucky.

The old county Cheng of Danyang County, when he heard that Chu Tianxiu, the Marquis of Xiaodu, was about to become the new county magistrate of Danyang, he was actually scared out of his illness.

The prestige of Xiao Duhou, the number one man in Jinling City, is hundreds of miles around Jinling City, and everyone knows it, who is not afraid?

There are rumors among the people that the Marquis of Xiao Duan robbed the people's daughters in Jinling City, robbed the rich and wealthy, and looted the fat and ointment from the Shen Mansion, a relative of the Queen Mother, and did all kinds of evil.

Others robbed the people, but he dared to rob the officials.

Even broke the dog head of Jinling Mansion Yin, and the government was stunned that no one could control him.

Even a big official like Jinling Yin is subservient to the obscenity of the little faint marquis, who can cure him!

And count on the emperor to suppress him?

The emperor saw the face of King Ping, and rewarded Xiao Duhou with a palace test and became the master of Danyang County!

The old county was so frightened that it was difficult to live all day.

He finally searched the place and saved a lot of pension money. Maybe, he was blackmailed by the little dusk marquis.

Within two days, he fell ill in fright.

Where can he, the old bone, withstand the toss of the little faint marquis, and hurriedly asked the court to resign and return to his hometown.

We can't afford to provoke, we can afford to hide!

The small officials in the Danyang County Yali, the younger officials, are suffering, and they are young and have no way to ask for resignation.

Everyone is afraid that this confused little faint marquis will do some mediocre things in Danyang County.

In case something big happens, the first unlucky person is the county in charge of execution.

Wouldn't that be bad luck?

There are no small officials in Danyang County who dare to take the initiative to ask Ying to go to the top county for this vacancy, so there is a valuable county vacancy.

Li Gannian pondered which county he went to, and he was also a lowest-level official. Why don't you go under your own uncle?

Uncle can't do it, dig a pit and bury him!

Li Kangnian's father went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find someone to dredge up the relationship, and he was appointed as the Cheng of Danyang County.

"The subordinate of this county order, it's actually you?"

Chu Tianxiu was taken aback, and soon rejoiced, "That's a good feeling!" With you here, I can just give you the opportunity to work. The county master can save a lot of trouble! ”

He is in charge of a county, and he only needs to give orders from above.

The county official is the first adjutant under the county order, responsible for the management of the county government's documents, archives, warehouses, grain and horses, taxation, etc., and is responsible for the specific implementation of affairs.

Further down, the county lieutenant, is in charge of the defense of the county soldiers. Dian Shi, a petty miscellaneous official in charge of arrests and prisons. And so on and so forth.

has been a small official in the county town for one or two decades, and they are all old fritters who are yin and yang, and they are not willing to work hard if they don't clean up hard.

With Li Kangnian's words as a county magistrate, there is at least one obedient person who is willing to work hard, and he can save a lot of worry.

...

When Chu Tianxiu's luxury carriage team came to the south gate of Jinling City.

Out of the city gate, there is a wide and straight post road that is repaired, extending in all directions, which is convenient for horse-drawn carriages to go together.

At this time, the other three new county commanders had already arrived at the gate of the city.

Dong Xianliang and Chao Fangzheng each hired a carriage, and the carriage brought some simple salutes to the south gate of Jinling to meet.

Only the Master Flame is different.

He carried a bag on his back, and in the package was a suit of clothes and a hundred taels of silver earned from the picture of the flower lady in the smoke and rain, and there was nothing else. He was reluctant to spend money to hire a carriage.

The main father Yan saw that Dong and Chao had hired a carriage to take up their posts, and the gap between the rich and the poor was too starry, so he couldn't help but look sour.

Alas, that's the gap!

Although Dong and Chao are not gate lords, they are also born into wealthy families and are not too short of money.

Only his master father Yan is a poor county commander.

Dong and Chao talked and laughed, pointing at the main father and teasing.

However, they soon saw that the little dusk marquis came out of the city in a row of more than a dozen cars in a luxurious carriage.

This is called the real grandeur.

The two of them seem too poor and sour.

"Little Hou Ye, you, are you going to take office, or are you going to play? Why do you need to pack so much? ”

Dong Xianliang was dumbfounded.

The county commander took office, and more than a dozen luxury carriages were dispatched, accompanied by dozens of palace guards who were fully armed.

is so extravagant and extravagant, I'm afraid that the entire Da Chu is also the first.

The rest of the county orders, which are not low-key to take office, a carriage and a few servants are already considered very luxurious. If you are more extravagant, I am afraid that before I take office, I want to be labeled as a "corrupt official".

However, of course, the little dusk marquis is not afraid of being deducted.

The reputation of the little dusk marquis is worse than that of corrupt officials.

"It is worthy of the little marquis, the previous county commander is a gentleman's style, Danyang County is afraid that it will be unlucky! Chao, admire it so much! ”

Chao Fangzheng shook his head and sighed, with a sour tone.

It's a pity that he's not a doctor.

Otherwise, the first blow will be the big and mediocre county order of Xiao Duhou.

"No rut, there is a lot of food, clothing, housing and transportation. You two are less jealous of Benhou here. This little marquis deigns to a small county order, do you still have to treat yourself badly? ”

Chu Tianxiu glanced at Master Father Yan and said with a smile: "Oh, why is Lord Father and Brother so shabby. Do you want me to send you a carriage to take you to Hushu County to take office? ”

"Not necessarily! Since I was a child, I have been poor, and I have walked through the road, and there is nothing. Jinling City to Hushu County, it is also fifty miles, and the county order can be walked away.

The county ordered this road to trek, ask the farmers about the difficulties of the people's livelihood, investigate the fertility of the fields, and also investigate the local people's conditions by the way, without being deceived by local officials!

This is not something that you three great masters can see from sitting in a tall carriage. ”

Master Father Yan was not angry, waved his hand and laughed heartily, and said, "I will say goodbye here, and we will see you again soon." Next year, the Prime Minister's Mansion will take a big test of the performance of Dachu County, and the county will never give in, and it will definitely win the first place in Dachu! Farewell, everyone! ”

After he finished speaking, he carried his bags and strode towards Hushu County in the southeast.

"The master father and brother, from a humble background, but with a good mind... Grandeur! ”

Dong Xianliang praised, "I also quit!" How to govern the county, the county has been infiltrated with Confucianism and Yin and Yang for many years, and there have been many studies. In the next year's county exam, I won't let it go! ”

"In the county exam next year, who is superior and who is inferior, it is uncertain. Say goodbye and see you next year! ”

Chao Fangzheng was arrogant, and then said goodbye to Chu Tianxiu and went on their own roads.

Although the four counties they took office in are all in Danyang County, the distance is only more than 100 miles, but the direction of the road is different.

"Let's go!"

Chu Tianxiu pulled the carriage curtain and said.

"Husband, Danyang County is my fiefdom, and a lot of our family's money and grain are collected from the fiefdom. You can take it easy when you govern Danyang County! ”

Li Yu said quietly.

If the husband corrupts the taxes in Danyang County, then she will immediately lose a large amount of stable income.

The imperial court placed the husband in Danyang County, because he was afraid that Xiao Duhou would toss around blindly in other counties, causing public resentment to boil, so he simply let him "scourge" Danyang County.

She didn't worry about Chu Tianxiu, so she wanted to follow to "supervise".

"Madame, just rest assured, there is nowhere to show your husband's ability!

Believe it or not, the three of them brag about it, but in fact, they can't add up to what I can fight with one hand.

Weifu will help you govern Danyang County well and become the first county in the world. Income or something, multiply it ten, no problem. ”

Chu Tianxiu ate the grapes that Zu'er stuffed into his mouth, vaguely, and Ying Cheng smiled.

"Letter~~, the husband's ability to be the prime minister is more than enough! The small county order, of course, is handy. ”

Li Yu said with a smile.

Chu Tianxiu immediately said out of the carriage window: "Li Kangnian! ”

"In!"

"Master Ben ordered you to rush to Danyang County immediately, and summon the county officials and officials, the three elders of each township, the pavilion chief and Lizheng, and hundreds of young and strong people from each family.

Beat the gongs and drums, go out of Danyang County for ten miles to catch the wind, and welcome the arrival of the master of this Qingtian.

The arrival of this master is the first county order in the history of Danyang County. This is the happiness of the squires and people of Danyang County!

The momentum of welcome should be sufficient, the festive atmosphere should be in place, and the plaque of welcome should be ready. Who dares to disobey the yin and the yang, and is negligent, the county order never eats overnight dinner, so let him be removed from his post on the spot and get out. ”

Chu Tianxiu said lightly.

Li Kangnian County Cheng was shocked when he heard this, and a faint bad feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.

Uncle, this is to take office three fires, to do big things?

A torch burned half the sky in Danyang County?

He glanced at the county lord, but the county lord Li Yu was already stunned and did not react.

"Yes!"

Li Kangnian had no choice but to receive the order, and immediately rode his horse and galloped towards Danyang County.

More than ten luxury carriages, escorted by a team of cavalry, swayed on the road and headed for Danyang County in the southwest.

The people of Danyang County!

The county has ordered the great master to save you from fire and water!

Chu Tianxiu suddenly thought of a question and said to Li Yu: "That's right, madam." The three of them said that the big Chu national county and county performance test, what are the tests? ”
