Xu Weizhi miscalculated one thing, Miss Xu Liu was not at the gate of the county yamen, mainly because a large number of gentry representatives lined up at the gate of the yamen to greet her, and it was not convenient for her to be a woman. The gentry and the magistrate belong to the relationship of mutual support and interdependence, most of the time they are a community of interests, using each other, each taking what he needs, under normal circumstances, even if the gentry really look down on their parents, they will be perfunctory, at least in terms of face.

However, the situation of Jiangning is relatively special, as the former national capital, there are too many powerful people in the city. Even a hundred years after the relocation of the capital, there are still a considerable number of noble families. In addition, there are also six departments and nine secretaries in the accompanying capital, and compared with the Jingshi, except for the absence of the cabinet and the emperor, most of the other configurations are the same, although their authority cannot be compared with the Jingshi, but in the world of Jiangning, they still have enough decent power.

The businessmen and gentry have enough choices in Jiangning, and the county officials are the least eye-catching. It is the above Yuan County Order to take office, and it is already a common thing for two or three kittens and puppies to come to congratulate, and to be a county magistrate here, you must have the consciousness of being angry, otherwise you will not be able to live. Today, however, it is clear that the situation is very different.

Outside the county yamen, there are not only the majestic Wei Guogong honor guards, but also hundreds of well-dressed celebrities and local gentry. Among them, Yang Baocai of the Jiangning Dajia Yang is the mainstay, and there are also several local literary seniors in Yingtian, Zhishi Minister, and even the military department has arranged people to come over to congratulate. As for what Shangyuan County has to do with the Ministry of War...... The current secretary of the Jiangning Military Department is Yin Zhengmao, and this is the biggest relationship.

Greetings and negotiations, everything is in order, and they are all performed according to the inherent process. The county magistrate greeted the gentry with warmth, expressed his attitude of loving the people like a son, and resolutely made Shangyuan County a good job, and the majority of gentry also expressed their resolute support for the county order, and the whole country worked together to greatly improve the quality of life of the local people......

Chen Youfang wisely chose to back down at this time, and on this kind of showy occasion, he naturally wanted to perform for this young chief officer, this kind of person likes fame and likes to show his face. This kind of opportunity gives them, yes. What you want is affordability, this kind of limelight, whoever likes it wants it.

He also admitted in his heart that this county official was different from his predecessors. Amulet? He himself is the greatest amulet. can make the Wei State Mansion a backer, there is still a way in the military department, occupy these two, this county order position is very stable, no matter who it is, don't think about moving him. With such strong help, maybe everything can really change?

At least at this moment, Chen Youfang had a trace of impulse in his heart. The blood, which was already as cold as ice, had a small burning urge at this moment, but then, it was cold again.

Don't be stupid, it's impossible. Shangyuan is like this, no matter who it is, it can't be changed. This county magistrate may be very famous, and in the future, he will leave a lot of glorious records in the Shangyuan County Chronicles. For example, he is honest and honest, such as loving the people like a son, but the lives of the people and the finances of the county will not change anything because of his arrival. The prefectural magistrate is a liuguan, and he is like water in this land, and the water is wet, and then it will dry up as before, and nothing will change.

The entire succession process came to an end in Chen Youfang's cold eyes. The moment he took over the county order seal from Liu Peng, it was announced that Fan Jin had become the parent official of this side of the world, and in the future, to a certain extent, he would determine the good fortune and misfortune of the people on this side.

Due to the death of his predecessor, there was no way to talk about the inventory of the money and grain warehouse, and after the handover, Fan Jin walked to the back office to see his residence. The connection between the lobby and the second hall is called the house gate, and the location of the gatehouse is on the left and right of the house gate. After the gate of the house is the second hall, functionally speaking, it is already the living area of the county order.

Outside the second hall, there is a couplet hanging "I came here because of the fate of the people, and I hope to live up to the people with a clear heart". Among them, the word "ashamed" is a little less, and the word "people" is a little more. Fan Jin looked at the couplet and found it very interesting, I don't know what the allusion is. But Xu Weizhi, who walked in with him all the way:

"This couplet was written by the dead Lai Zhixian, and it is said that he said that he should be less ashamed of the people and pay more attention to the small people, so he wrote it like this. This man...... Yes, it's a pity. He sighed, a little embarrassed.

Passing through the second hall, you will find the inner house. And outside the inner house, there is also a plaque with the words "Seishindo" written on it. There is also a couplet on either side of the plaque. "There are common rules for governance, don't give small favors, forget the general situation, and control officials have no law, but there is fairness and personal feelings."

At this time, even Fan Jin sighed a little, "This Lai County Commander doesn't seem to be an incompetent person, but like a follower." If he could do what the couplet says, he wouldn't be incompetent. ”

"yes. If he was really incompetent, how could Zhang Jiangling put him in Shangyuan. Shangyuan is the first county, and few of those who can be sent here are really incompetent. But it's useless to have the ability, you have to be lucky, the old man is bad luck and his mind is too narrow. Retreat, in fact, don't talk about him, you are the same. Zhang Jiangling is not doing this authentically, you are very kind to his daughter, why did he send you here? Put the magistrate, where can't you go to Suzhou and Hangzhou? If you don't go to Yangzhou to patrol the salt for a while, and make him spend tens of thousands of taels of silver, which one is not better than Shangyuan? The tenth world is not good, Shangyuan Zhixian, here is not to see how much ability you have, but to look at creation. Lao Lai can't make a change, and his heart is narrow, and the last rope is gone. Thinking about it, you won't be like that, but you also have to think about it, this is not an official to test your fame, don't always think that the flowers are perfect, as long as you can get by, it's over. Speaking of which, even if Lao Lai's heart is too high, if he is really willing to be an incompetent person with wine bags and rice bags, he may not die. If you can't finish the class, it's nothing more than a dismissal, and after all, it's the sin of losing your head. He is dying on the verge of being strong, and you must not learn from him. ”

The two talked about having walked into the inner house, inside the Moon Gate Cave, where Xu Liu had been standing for an unknown amount of time. As soon as she saw them come in, Ying Ying bowed down and called her brother first, and then her brother-in-law. Fan Jin only felt that Xu Liu's style was very similar to that of an eldest woman waiting for her husband to come back, and it was indescribably awkward.

Xu Weizhi also frowned and said, "Little sister, you can't talk, I'm still looking for you in front, why didn't you run to the inner house without saying a word?" You're a big girl, and you always run to people's houses, and your reputation is not good......"

Xu Liu was well-behaved and cute in front of Fan Jin, always looking like a little girl, but she was not afraid at all in front of her brother, and replied: "I am now a monk, and my body is no more than skin, and there is no distinction between men and women. Where can't you go? Besides, my brother-in-law is not an outsider, so I didn't have to worry about going to my brother-in-law's inner house. ”

"Monk, you ghost! At a young age, it's not good to be a female celebrity at home, and what is the reason for being a nun? Hurry up and find someone to marry, what kind of family! ”

"I said it, I will never marry anyone in my life, if you force me to marry, I will lose my hair!"

Fan Jin hurriedly played the round to prevent the two brothers and sisters from quarreling, Wang Xuexiao was able to coax people. hurriedly stepped forward to coax Xu Liu and invited her aside, while Fan Jin invited Xu Weizhi to the upper room to sit down. He took out a small bag from his own bag, opened it, and revealed several bound books inside. handed it to Xu Weizhi and said: "Little grandfather, this is a little bit of Fan's mind, and most of it is in line with the little grandfather's mind." ”

"Retreat, you are too foreign-looking, what kind of friendship you and my brother have, these gifts are not necessary. Besides, look, I look like a book-reader? If a gentleman doesn't take away people's love, you can keep it for yourself. ”

"Really? The little grandfather can look at the title of the book first. ”

Xu Weizhi leaned over and looked at the title of the book perfunctorily, muttering: "Jin...... Plums! Give me! Xu Weizhi, who saw the title of the book clearly, showed the skillful skills of a martial artist, so fierce that a fierce dog snatched the bone, put the book from Fan Jin's hand into his arms, picked up the first book and quickly flipped through it: "What! …… How are there so many of them! Could it be? ”

"Enough. There is also a later Yujiao pear. Fan Jin smiled.

Xu Weizhi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Is there a sequel to this? In the end, he is a reader, and the things he sees are so elegant. This thing is not exchanged for gold, good things, really good things! Retreat, let me tell you, I will definitely not return this book to you, go back to my father to see, his old man must be happy. At the entrance of Jiangning's big and small yamen, there are so many literati and ink writers, but if you want to say this baby, you have never seen it, I haven't seen it for so many months, and you just met to give me such a big gift, which is interesting enough, and definitely enough friends! As he spoke, he gave Fan Jin a thumbs up.

Although this famous Water Margin fanbook was written in the Jiajing period and passed down its influence among the people for hundreds of years, it was limited by technology and causal superstition and other reasons, and the scope of its spread in the Ming Dynasty was very limited. It is usually circulated in the form of hand-copying, and after it is obtained, it is hidden deeply, and it is not heard of by relatives and friends. Even dignitaries and dignitaries may not have read the whole book.

In another time and space, Shen Defu, the second generation, had never read a full book in the thirty-fourth year of Wanli, let alone ordinary people. Although Xu Weizhi likes this, he has only read a few volumes, and he has never seen the whole book, and the later sequels are even more unheard of. Therefore, when I read this book, I was ecstatic and regarded it as a treasure. than to give him any gold, silver, and jewelry, they were more glad.

Fan Jinzi would not tell him that this book was not from Jingshi, but was written silently by himself. With the blessing of the system, the text can be written, and as for the illustrations, they are drawn by themselves. With his painting skills, this kind of content is fascinating, Xu Weizhi looked at a few pages and looked at Fan Jindao:

"As I said earlier, it's best to think about your paintings. Look at this man's drawing, it's better than the rubbish. No, how can this book use your illustrations? ”

"I removed the original painting and replaced it with my own."

"This hand is well done, and it should be like this." Xu Weizhi put down the book, looked at Fan Jin and said with a smile: "Retreat, have you and Miss Zhang looked at this book and made love......

"Brother Xu, don't be funny." Fan Jin snorted, "Brother Xu, Fan's identity is not as good as in the past, and he can't leave the land, and he can't go to Dagongfang to visit the Duke and his wife." A few gifts were prepared on the way, please take them home with Brother Xu, greet the two of you for me, and by the way, please ask for a few words of guilt for Fan's beautiful words. ”

"Please? What sin please? ”

"The ...... of the Duke of Qianguo"

Xu Weizhi shook his head and said, "This, don't take it to heart." To be honest, I haven't seen that so-called uncle since I was born, and I can't talk about feelings. Besides, he is my uncle, isn't the one he killed also my uncle? This uncle killed that uncle and occupied his aunt, if he still helped this uncle, what would he say about the one who died? Gold bricks and jade tiles, without discrimination. This time, Zhang Jiangling left his son to go to his father, brought people to Jiangning to take care of him, and took care of him to prevent him from suffering. Do you have to think about it, this thing will happen, because Zhang Jiangling is impartial, and he is angry with his future son-in-law, do you look at my father and mother like such an unreasonable person. You, go back and paint a few pictures for my mother, and then persuade the sixth child not to let her leave the house, and everything will be fine. ”

Fan Jin thanked him repeatedly, and a stone in his heart fell to the ground. Although Wei Guogong didn't dare to offend Zhang Juzheng, as the head snake of Jiangning, it was too easy to find some trouble for himself. Even if he stood by and didn't help himself, it was enough for him to feel uncomfortable.

He silently wrote this Water Margin fanficence with great effort and no money.,Of course, the purpose is not to watch it for fun.,In the final analysis, it's to buy Xu Weizhi.,I hope he can help him.。 It seems that things are developing better than he imagined, Xu Weizhi is satisfied with the gift, and the Xu family is also reasonable, this is a very good start. He laughed and said:

"Brother Xu, to tell you the truth, the younger brother made this Shangyuan County Order when he first entered the officialdom, and he had no experience in doing anything, and he suddenly gave me such a Shangxian to take care of, and the difficulties in it are self-evident. In this place of Jiangning, any person who comes out may be bigger than me, and my second-class name is not of much use. Although Yin Sima has some friendship with his younger brother, he is one level worse after all, and he is not as close as you and my brother. If Brother Xu refuses to help, I won't be able to do this county official. If Brother Xu is thinking about the friendship between the two, he must help this time. ”

Xu Weizhi patted his chest, "It's easy to say!" Who dares to disobey your orders in Shangyuan County, just tell me, I sent soldiers and horses to catch them. The soldiers and horses of the five cities in Jiangning City are all under my house, and later I will take a piece to call the commanders of the two cities in the east and north and ask them to toast the virtuous brother! ”

"I'm not in a hurry to do this in advance, the gentry in the city invite me to dinner and drink tonight, can Brother Xu be a companion?"

"Naturally, I want to be accompanied, in fact, if you don't say it, Yang Shida also invited me. Together, eat a few glasses of wine with him when the time comes, and play a few hands with Yang Shida. Let me tell you, Yang Shida's luck has been very bad recently, he is our Jiangning's fortune boy, win him a few hundred taels tonight, and the deficit in your yamen will be repaid first. ”

Fan Jin didn't answer this, and said: "Brother Xu, junior brother still has a few businesses that he wants to cooperate with Brother Xu, I wonder if Brother Ren can appreciate his face?" ”
