Chapter 71: First Day in Office (1)

Li Qing only learned Zhang Qiu and Qiong's old treacherous slip until today, it can't be so coincidental, it must be his intentional arrangement, it must be his intentional arrangement, he actually wants him to jump out of Chengdu and continue to fight with the Hai family in the dark, officialdom is like this, it can't be broken, it depends on comprehension, fighting is scheming, Li Qing's comprehension is comprehension, but he is really unhappy in his heart, what is he, is Zhang Qiu and Qiong a chess piece in his hand? And this move he played made him have no way out, as if he was a pawn crossing the river, he could only move forward, not retreat.

He looked at Wang Changling again, and saw that he was full of white hair, his face was wrinkled and rough, he was so old that he worked hard for the people, but his cloudy old eyes looked at him with expectation, so he had to sigh secretly, so he couldn't do it! Let's be a Dragon City Pilot!

********************

The function of the chief is equivalent to the current deputy county magistrate in charge of finance, the standing committee of the county party committee, this is Li Qing's specialty, the next morning, he is going to report to the county office, he has changed into a new official uniform, wearing a Tang scarf soft wrapping head, wearing trousers pleated clothes, wearing a light blue regimental collar narrow sleeve embroidered poultry robe, tied with a blue leather belt, hanging a short knife on it, and pedaling black leather boots, this is the typical official uniform of the Tang Dynasty Nine Rank Officials, Li Qing is also full of spirit when he wears it, and he is so happy that he looks left and right in front of the bronze mirror, as if he is going out of the bride.

Sitting in the open-top carriage rented by Lao Yuxin, Li Qing went on the road in high spirits, which surprised the people along the way, and pointed behind him, Li Qing was even more proud, and he couldn't wait to hold up a card: the new parents official.

There was still a stone's throw away from the county office, and I saw a group of bare-fart children running out of it screaming happily, and two of them even carried a king-sized wine gourd.

Yibin County Yamen is not big, but very dilapidated, just like the predecessors of those hope primary schools in later generations, for the brick and wood structure, Zhu Yan faded, a big drum hung on the left side of the gate, a big hole was broken above, and the drum hammer did not know who picked up the fire stick, Li Qing hesitated, confirmed that the house would not collapse suddenly, and then picked up the steps into the yamen, the light inside was dim, the ground was uneven, the public case was old and a broken leg, with a bamboo stick on top, and two bricks underneath, like a three-legged old man on crutches, The county order is not there, and the public court has become a paradise for spiders, which makes Li Qing feel like he is in a silk hole.

"Is there anyone in there?"

Shouting for a long time, except for another Li Qing in the promise, no one came out to promise, in Li Qing's imagination, the official office should be majestic and solemn, two rows of officials standing with sticks, the mirror hanging high, and the bottom sitting a seven-grade county order, that look, Li Qing suddenly thought of Liu Suifeng, although the county government of Yilong County is a little darker, but it should be that majesty, and the county government in front of him is like an abandoned mountain temple, and there is no incense.

"Who are you-looking for?"

Suddenly there was a laborious and intermittent question hanging high under the mirror, the voice seemed to come out of the ground, so weird that it did not have a little human atmosphere, Li Qing was startled, he found that there was an old man standing next to the seat of the county order, at least eighty or ninety years old, hunched back, gray beard and hair, long dragging, the clothes he was wearing and the curtain behind him were as tattered and dirty, and the color was exactly the same, like a chameleon, it was Li Qing who did not find his existence when he came in.

"I'm the new boss, and I want to visit the county magistrate, I don't know where the old man knows where he is?"

The old man shook his head, and a hoarse and trembling voice came from his throat: "There are too many dogs in the county, I want to keep this position." ”

"Then you'reβ€”"

"I'm the county magistrate's father."

Li Qing walked out of the county office, looked up at the sky, the sky was blue and cloudless, like a blue sea, he wanted to take a long breath, but he couldn't spit it out, he wanted to roar, but his chest was really depressed, is this the county government he will face in the future? He suddenly felt a little dazed, he didn't know where he should go to work, and his materials, and who should he ask to go?

"Master Li!" A call was heard in the distance.

Li Qing's spirits perked up, and he had already seen a soap-clad and red-robed servant running from the street.

The official ran profusely and sweated profusely, and when he reached Li Qing's approach, he bent down and gasped and said, "Lord Wang ordered me to tell you that he was waiting for Lord Bo at the dock." ”

Li Qing was surprised, how could he be at the dock, it was so difficult that he couldn't go to Nanxi County with him.

"Get in the car! Let's go together. ”

Without waiting for the official to answer, Li Qingyi dragged him into the car, "Lao Yu, go to the dock!" Lao Yu raised his horsewhip, and the carriage drove quickly in the direction of the dock.

"What do you call this brother?"

Li Qingxiao asked, seeing that this person was thin and tall, and his two attractive ears were quite distinctive.

"My lord, my surname is Zhang, and my name is Yiming." The answer was crisp and neat, but there was some nervousness in his eyes.

"Huh! That's a good name," Li Qing also saw that he was a little uneasy, patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "You don't have to be nervous, I have something to ask you." ”

"My lord, please speak, and my subordinates will answer everything."

Zhang Yiming is a die-hard supporter of Wang Changling, and he is also a local, and he said to the county early in the morning, asking everyone to fully support the new chief bookkeeper, which means that Li Qing is his own person.

"This county government is so dilapidated, where do you work?"

Zhang Yiming sighed and said: "My lord doesn't know, this county government has existed in name only, everyone has not entered the county government for almost a year, and now there are two places in the county to deal with official business, one is the pawnshop of the Tang County Lieutenant, we call it the Captain's Office, and the other is at the wharf, which is the place where Wang Xiancheng temporarily borrowed to assist the military in handling official business, we call it the Cheng Office, and there is an endless stream of people who come to Wang Xiancheng every day to do things, but there is the elbow of the Tang County Lieutenant, and it is really difficult to do something." ”

"The county is in chaos like this, why doesn't the county care?"

"Tube, of course they want to!" Zhang Yiming sneered and said: "They want to promote Tang Sheng to be the county commander, but he has no virtue, no ability and no fame, so how can he be a county magistrate, but-" Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly darkened.

"But what?"

"But after this battle in eastern Yunnan, I'm afraid they will find an excuse to promote him, and support the former enemy!" Zhang Yiming suddenly became excited, "But everything is obviously Wang Xiancheng working alone, what has he done?" ”

"Who did you hear about promoting Tang Sheng?"

"No one said it, but these are obvious things, and anyone can see it."

Li Qing looked at him in surprise, a little official actually has such knowledge, it seems that this Yibin County also has some feng shui, 'Zhang Yiming', Li Qing secretly wrote down this name.

Wang Changling's office was in three stone houses next to the wharf, and he was surrounded by a large group of businessmen and ordinary people early in the morning, gossiping and shouting.

"Master Li, please come here!" Wang Changling, who was surrounded by the people, suddenly found Li Qing, pushed through the crowd, squeezed over and said with a smile: "I forgot to tell you last night, the county government will not use it for the time being, and I will come here to deal with official business in the future, come!" Come! I've got you covered. ”

He pulled Li Qing to enter the house, but where the people were willing to do it, they stopped the way and said, "My lord! We've been here many times, and you're going to settle this matter for us today anyway. ”

Wang Changling's face was embarrassed, and he arched his hand and said: "Fellow villagers, everyone has seen the reason for this matter, please give me some more time, let me think of a way again, and I will definitely solve the difficulty of crossing the river for everyone." ”

The people also knew that the county was helpless, and shouted for a while, they all shook their heads and sighed and dispersed, and Wang Changling introduced Li Qing into the house, "Lord Li, you will work here in the future." He took out several thick stacks of documents from the cupboard, put them in front of Li Qing, and panted slightly: "I will handle most of the official affairs for you, this is the county's population tax examination school last year, and I have to trouble the adults to do their own statistics, and the results must be reported to the county before the end of March at the latest, and the deadline must not be missed." ”

If these stacks of information are piled up, they are one zhang high, there are rent records of each household, there are county-wide population statistics, there are county-wide land conditions, and there are county-wide commercial taxes.
