Chapter 21 Assumption of office

As an official sent by the Great Song Dynasty, the officials of the Jinxiu City Government attached great importance to it.

After all, he is an official directly appointed by the imperial court, and he is considered a Qincha, so he does not dare to slack off.

When Mei Xiaohan came to Splendid City again, it was not for fun, but for work! At the same time, it is also to form an ideal leadership team in his heart.

The imperial court gave Mei Xiaohan enough space to reform and infiltrate Splendid City, and if you want to control a city, the best way is to infiltrate except by force!

"Infiltration plan, Mei Xiaohan also had such an idea, but he died early! The fetus was stillborn, and there was no facility to go down! ”

In the entire ten counties and two prefectures of Splendid City, there are more than 100 officials, large and small, and most of these officials belong to the original Splendid City Lord Bo.

Although the supreme chief executive of Splendid City has changed his name many times, he has changed the soup but not the medicine, and most of them are his descendants.

The arrival of Mei Xiaohan this time is also bound to change the political ecology of Splendid City.

The jurisdiction of the whole splendid city consists of Daliang County, Shangyuan County, Yixing County, Yiyang County, Yuancheng County, Kaiping County, Wuyuan County, Guangfeng County, Dongchuan County, Fengxiang County, Wulin County and Ningjiang and Ningwu Prefectures.

In the main Bo of the ten counties and the mansions of the two prefectures, a total of 128 officials, large and small, stood outside the splendid city of Ningjiang Mansion and waited for Mei Xiaohan's arrival.

Yang Yuan is the "Earth Emperor" of Splendid City, and everything big and small needs to pass through his nod. He was named the "Duke of Nanguo" by the Song Dynasty and had extremely large governance power. Mei Xiaohan's arrival had a great impact on him.

Mei Xiaohan's purpose in coming to Splendid City this time is very clear, in order to regain all control of Splendid City.

Yang Yuan is in charge of Splendid City, known as the city lord, and now there is a Mei Xiaohan whose identity and status are not low, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and there is bound to be an open and secret battle.

As soon as Mei Xiaohan entered Ningjiang Mansion, he was surrounded by officials of all sizes, shouting: Welcome the deputy city lord into the city!

The leader was a deputy general riding a tall horse, riding a horse dozens of meters in front of Mei Xiaohan, getting off the horse, and kneeling on the ground: "Wang Zhen, the deputy general of Splendid City, meets the deputy city lord!" ”

This person was Yang Yuan's cronies, and he won Yang Yuan's trust, and soon climbed from a horse archer to the position of deputy general.

"Deputy City Lord! Your mansion is located in this Ningjiang Mansion! ”

One lives in Ningwu, one lives in Ningjiang, one is the deputy city lord, and the other is the city lord.

Mei Xiaohan greeted all the officials one by one, although all the officials didn't know each other, he still showed great enthusiasm.

Three days ago, when a piece of paper from the Song court flew to Yang Yuan's mansion in Ningwu, Yang Yuan's mouthful of blood almost spurted out.

No one likes to have a person under their nose who hinders them from doing things, and the moment he received the paperwork, Yang Yuan knew that he could no longer do whatever he wanted as before.

Because now there is a person who can contain him, although Yang Yuan is still the supreme governor of Splendid City, Mei Xiaohan is an official directly appointed by the Song court, and his grade is not lower than Yang Yuan.

After a few days of rest, all the attendants and servants and maidservants were arranged.

Mei Xiaohan officially began to take office, and the first thing Mei Xiaohan did after taking office was to post recruitment information.

In any era, talents are always indispensable, in addition to wanting to recruit talents, another very important reason is that Mei Xiaohan does not know much about the situation in Splendid City.

The people who know the situation of Fairview City best are farmers, scholars and craftsmen, as well as people from the bottom of society.

The so-called recruitment post is more like a Jianghu post, because there has never been a person like Mei Xiaohan, who doesn't look at birth or identity, as long as he has real talent and real learning, he will not refuse.

For several days in a row, some people invited Mei Xiaohan to dinner, and those who gave gifts gave silver, and the threshold of the gate of Meifu was about to be trampled.

Mei Xiaohan also did not refuse to come, and accepted everything that should be received.

I don't know the situation of the entire Splendid City, and now all the people are good or bad for Mei Xiaohan.

The second-in-command of Splendid City, although it is only a city, its status is equivalent to that of a province now, and the so-called deputy city lord is equivalent to the governor.

And Yang Yuan's position as the city lord is equivalent to that of the secretary of the provincial party committee, and he is even more powerful.

When a person holds a lot of power, it will be followed by a change of identity, which may make people feel uncomfortable, but it will be very useful!

No one will refuse wealth, and no one will refuse the rights that his status gives him.

If you want to change, you have to pay a price.

And this cost can sometimes be fatal, and even lead to rebellion.

Yang Yuan naturally wouldn't visit Mei Xiaohan, this would be a loss of identity, Yang Yuan was the supreme governor of Splendid City, and he would say the past if he didn't go to see Mei Xiaohan. Mei Xiaohan decided to visit Yang Yuan in person.

Yang Yuan had been prepared for a long time and knew that Mei Xiaohan would definitely come, but there was one thing he still didn't expect to be very clear, that is, Yang Yuan didn't know that Mei Xiaohan was so young.

There is one thing that is good for those who are officials, they talk about people when they see people, they talk nonsense when they see ghosts, and they talk about officials when they see officials!

The grandeur of the Yang Mansion is no less than any mansion that Mei Xiaohan has ever seen, many flowers and plants are transplanted from other places, and the freight alone costs thousands of taels of silver.

Then all this money was spent by some people who had a request for Yang Yuan, and there were more than 60 women in the Yang Mansion alone, and the number of three wives and four concubines plus dependents was even more difficult to count.

When Yang Yuan first saw Mei Xiaohan, he still couldn't believe his eyes, because it was not an old man appointed by the imperial court, but a young man. As the saying goes, don't bully young people into poverty.

No one can guarantee what the future holds for young people. What's more, it is hard to imagine that you have no children and are entrusted with important responsibilities at such a young age.

Mei Xiaohan came before, not empty-handed, and brought a gift.

When Yang Yuan saw Mei Xiaohan, his face was full of incredulity, and he said, "Could it be that you are..."

"Not bad! I am Mei Xiaohan, and I came to visit City Lord Yang! ”

Yang Yuan said: "Deputy City Lord Mei, it's really polite, it's really unexpected!" ”

"I didn't expect that I, Yang, would have the privilege of working with Deputy City Lord Mei! What's even more unexpected is that Deputy City Lord Mei is so young! ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "The city lord is polite, I have just arrived, and I have to thank you for your care in the future!" ”

Yang Yuan said: "Deputy City Lord Mei is terrible, you are so young, you are so valued by the imperial court, you must have a bright future in the future!" ”

Mei Xiaohan took out the gift he brought, put it on Yang Yuan's table, and said, "This is a little bit of my heart, please accept it!" ”

Yang Yuan excused himself twice, and then ordered the housekeeper to accept it. said: "Deputy City Lord Mei, it's so polite! ”

After Mei Xiaohan finished delivering the gift, she left the Yang Mansion and did not stay.

When Mei Xiaohan returned, Yang Yuan opened the gift that Mei Xiaohan gave him, and he was stunned and speechless.
