There is a saying in officialdom that the official university crushes people to death!

Zhu Cihong arranged for the crown prince Zhu Hexing to be the same governor of the county affairs of Zheng Bapin, and the younger than this official is the county Cheng of the eighth grade, and the sixth county lieutenant of the ninth grade (Zhu Cihong expanded the team of county-level officials, and set up six county lieutenants such as the secretary, the secretary, the secretary, the household, the judiciary, the engineer, and the soldier), and the township chief and town mayor of the nine products.

Although Ma Wanchun's position is only a little bigger than Zhu Hexing, his official rank is much higher, and he is from the Zhixian of the Sixth Rank - the Zhixian of the Ming Dynasty is also large and small, the Zhixian of the upper county is usually from the sixth grade, the Zhixian of the middle county is usually from the seventh grade, and the Zhixian of the lower county is usually from the seventh grade. Shizhu is a lower county, but because Ma Wanchun has served as the magistrate of Zunyi Mansion for many years, his official rank is much higher than that of the ordinary lower county order, and he is a county order from the sixth grade.

From the sixth grade to the eighth grade, it is three levels larger!

It stands to reason that when a junior official of the eighth grade sees a senior official of the sixth grade, he should dismount and salute very respectfully!

So Ma Wanchun put his hands behind his back and waited for Zhu Hexing to salute......

And Zhu Hexing, riding on horseback in a big way, is also waiting for Ma Wanchun to say goodbye - he is the prince! When I saw Wang Zhou, the envoy of the Dongchuan Festival in Yong'an County, the dignified Marquis of Ke Nan still wanted to bow and respectfully invite the prince Wanfu Jin'an......

It turned out to be cold!

Zhu Hexing and Ma Wanchun both froze there, staring at each other with big eyes.

Xia Wanchun was so embarrassed, he had to look at the crown princess Ding Yuying - think of a way!

Ding Yuying got off the horse with the support of an aunt and palace maid - it was not easy for her, she was two months pregnant and had to accompany Prince Zhu on horseback! Fortunately, I have practiced, and I walked on the slopes of Huya Mountain when I was young, and my physical fitness is very good, so I have to have a miscarriage!

Ding Yuying, who got off the horse, strode up to Ma Wanchun, and when Ma Wanchun was wondering, Ding Yuying had already taken out the token that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it to Ma Wanchun.

Ma Wanchun took the token and glanced at it, and a frightened expression appeared on his face.

Because there are six big characters on the front of the token - Zhu Zhu, the foreman of the East Investigation Factory.

It turns out that this Zhu Tongzhi is from Dongchang!

Ma Wanchun finally understood why this little kid was so angry, the co-author was not the real Bapin Tongzhi, but the foreman sent by the East Factory - the foreman of the East Factory was not a small role for Ma Wanchun! There are 1,000 households under the governor of Dongchang, and 100 households are each a member, and then there are 12 below, one is called the head of the class, and the deputy of one is the foreman.

However, the children's foreman of the East Factory still looked a little strange...... This child's lips are fluffy, obviously not a father-in-law, so young to become a foreman, what is the way to come?

And the foreman was accompanied by a girl...... Although she was wearing men's clothes, Ma Wanchun could still see her gender at a glance.

"What is this girl's last name?" Ma Wanchun asked Ding Yuying in a low voice.

"Don't be expensive, your surname is Pan!" Ding Yuying said.

"Last name Pan?" Ma Wanchun said: The governor of Dongchang is also surnamed Pan! What's your relationship?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked: "I don't know ...... girl and Pan Dugong"

Ding Yuying said with a smile: "Ma Xianzun, you shouldn't ask, don't ask!" ”

Of course, the relationship between her and Pan's father-in-law can't be said casually, and saying it will scare Ma Wanchun. Ding Yuying asked Pan Shuchen for this token, just to bluff an official like Ma Wanchun, not to let them ask questions.

"Oh, don't ask, don't ask......"

Ding Yuying said again: "This is not the place to talk, shall we go to the city first?" In addition, the 500 people brought by Zhu Tongzhi are all guards of the Son of Heaven, and they need to settle down, is there a place in Shizhu City? ”

"There's a place, there's a place...... Although the stone pillar city was set on fire by the rogues, it was raining when our soldiers came, so it didn't burn badly. ”

Ma Wanchun explained, and then didn't care about any officialdom etiquette, and hurriedly invited Zhu Hexing and Ding Yuying into Shizhu City - the people who are Pan Gonggong's people, most of them are on errands, and they are at the level of officialdom!

......

The area in the Shizhu Castle is not small, and there are many houses - this is Qin Liangyu's former base camp, and the Dashun Dynasty also set up a Zhichong Mansion, a state government and a brigade (equivalent to a battalion) here, and placed more than 1,000 government soldiers, living thousands of people.

Now that the soldiers have run away, the stone pillar castle of Nuoda is vacant, which is enough to accommodate the 1,000 Xichuan soldiers brought by Ma Wanchun and the 500 guards brought by Zhu Hexing.

And Zhu Hexing and Ding Yuying were arranged in the yamen of the original brigade of the Dashun Army, and after settling down a little, the two went to see Ma Wanchun accompanied by Xia Wanchun.

Ma Wanchun has already arranged a banquet for Xia Wanchun, Zhu Hexing, and Ding Yuying. Before entering the table, Ma Wanchun also checked Zhu Hexing's official notice according to the rules, as well as the appointment and dismissal documents jointly signed by the Dongchuan Jiedu Envoy - Dongchuan is a festival town, and the personnel power is greater than that of the province, so he can appoint officials at the county and state levels on his own, and report to the imperial court afterwards. If the court does not agree to the appointment, it can also be dismissed, but this rarely happens.

The official notice of the civil official can only be issued by the officials of the imperial court, and Dongchuan Jiezhen only has the right to recommend, not the right to appoint.

After reading the official notice and appointment documents, Ma Wanchun was finally completely relieved...... The official notice and documents are all true, and this Zhu Yun seems to be unfake.

"Zhu Tongzhi," Ma Wanchun did not call the name of "Zhu Yun" (Yunzhi), but used the title of surname and official position more outwardly, "You came to the small place of Shizhu, there must be some royal order, right?" If it's convenient for you, just say to the lower officials, let's do it quickly, and you can also rise as soon as possible. ”

Ma Wanchun wanted to send the two spies from Dongchang away as soon as possible - no matter why they came, it was always terrifying!

When Zhu Hexing heard this, he also nodded in agreement - he didn't want to stay here longer, a rural place, what's good?

However, before he could speak, Ding Yuying opened his mouth first: "Ma Xianzun, Nu and Zhu Tongzhi came to see how you pacified Shizhu County, if we can help anything, we are also happy to serve." ”

On behalf of the East Factory? Ma Wanchun's scalp is a little numb!

Unlike the officials of the province who are afraid of the imperial history, he, a county commander with a warlord background, is not afraid of the imperial history catching his corruption, but he is afraid of the two palaces of the king of Hades, Jinyiwei and Dongchang!

Seeing Ma Wanchun's ugly face, Ding Yuying said gently: "Gonggong Pan also said that I want slaves and Zhu Tongzhi to take a good look at how Ma Xianzun opened a department here in Shizhu and introduced all the masters who can be tossed in the place for the use of the imperial court." ”

It turned out to be to supervise the stone pillar to take the soldiers! Ma Wanchun said: Maybe it's to supervise the opening of science and technology in the prefectures and counties of Dongchuan, right?

This matter really has to be optimistic, and the magistrates of Dongchuan cannot be allowed to take advantage of the chaos and recruit all their own people into the yamen.

Ma Wanchun said with a smile: "Shizhu's opening is already being prepared, and the official exam will be available next month." However, Xia Guan was born in the army, and he didn't know much about this imperial examination......" He glanced at Zhu Yun, who hadn't said anything from beginning to end, and said with a smile, "Zhu Tongzhi must be knowledgeable, why don't you help Xia Guan check it?" ”

Zhu Hexing asked, "What are you taking the test?" Do you want to take the French test? My French is not good ......"

French? Ma Wanchun said in his heart: This kid is from Ying Tianxun's noble family! Surname Zhu ...... The young master of the Chengguo family?

As soon as Ding Yuying heard Prince Zhu mention French, she frowned - revealing stuffing! Those who learn French are either rich or expensive, and most of them are the N generation of Ying Tianxun's noble family!

She hurriedly changed the topic, "Ma Xianzun, I heard that there are still remnants of rogues on the Stone Pillar Gale Castle?" ”

"There are some," Ma Wanchun said, "about 3,000 people!" ”

"So much?" Xia Wanchun was taken aback, Zhu Hexing only brought 500 people, plus the original 1,000 people in Shizhu, a total of 1,500 people!

Ma Wanchun waved his hand: "Don't worry, most of them are women and children, old and weak...... Most of the soldiers of the Qingzhuang Mansion went to the conquest, and the rest were not able to fight much, and they could not threaten Shizhu City. ”
