Early the next morning, Master Cheng Ming made his debut.

The three classes of officials arrived, and the officials were neatly arranged in the hall, and the greeting ceremony was in order. Cheng Ming lectured according to the rules, encouraged a little, appeased and appeased slightly, and the surface effort passed, and the inauguration ceremony was over.

Today is not the day of acceptance, Cheng Ming has no old official duties to deal with, so he is naturally relaxed.

The treasury, the treasury sent a policy, saying that it was for the lord to check and then print.

Cheng Ming didn't care either, and dealt with it directly.

Although you can think of it with your toes, there is something greasy in it, but Cheng Ming doesn't care, anyway, he didn't take these as his own.

Now that you have done it, you will naturally be at ease when you deal with it in the future.

However, it is imperative that Cheng Ming replenish some manpower for himself.

explained to the people below, but in an hour, four or five shrewd-looking men were led into the yamen.

"I've seen the big man!"

Seeing Cheng Ming come out, several people knelt down together, all with flattering smiles on their faces.

"Get up!"

Cheng Ming waved his hand, sat on the Taishi chair moved by his subordinates, and said: "You have also seen that my new official came in a hurry, so there is a little shortage of manpower in the house. ”

Several people hurriedly patted their chests and promised: "Don't worry, master, I don't dare to say, this matter is on our brothers, as little as one day, as much as three days, I will definitely make it up for you!" I just don't know how many people the master needs? ”

Cheng Ming said: "It doesn't take much, there is only one lady in the back house, two maids, two mothers-in-law who prompt, and then a cook, a groom, a gardener, or something." ”

In the end, he glared and drank lightly: "I still have to worry about this little thing, you can just do it yourself!" But Master Ben has something to say first, don't give me some bullshit, if I find out, I don't care if you have merit or not, I will pick up the skin and go to the army! ”

Several people were busy kowtowing and said repeatedly: "Don't dare, don't dare!" ”

After explaining the situation, several people retreated. This is a maid from the backyard, who saluted and said that it was Mrs. Hello.

Cheng Ming's mind moved slightly, and he knew that these people might have a showdown.

So he got up and walked straight into the back house.

The oil and salt shop brought these servants together for him, headed by an inconspicuous middle-aged man, and called him Uncle Li.

Maids, mothers-in-law, servants, cooks, grooms, gardeners, housekeepers are all available, and there are a total of eighteen or nineteen people, and it is also a mighty string to walk on the road.

Entering the main hall of the back house, Uncle Li was standing inside.

Wearing a housekeeper's costume, the small hat on his head is neatly worn, with three strands of long hair, a serious complexion, and his image is particularly in line with the setting, others can see at a glance that he is the housekeeper of a large family.

"I've seen the master!"

As soon as Cheng Ming stepped in, Uncle Li clasped his fists and saluted.

Cheng Ming waved his hand and said, "We don't need to come here, what's the matter with calling me over?" ”

"I want to discuss something with the master!"

"Say!"

Lightly spit out a word, Cheng Ming raised his hand to pick up a cup of tea and took a sip gently.

Yes, although it is not good, it is also fragrant, and it is already a rare good tea.

"Yes!" Uncle Li's face was calm, and he said, "Since the master has successfully taken office, I don't know if there is a direction for the government." Do you know how to do paperwork and official documents? You may not care, it's in the officialdom, and it's all about collecting taxes and securing the people.

I don't dare to guess your knowledge, but as the lord of a county, especially in a special place like Wanping County, it is not easy not to show flaws. I don't know what the master is planning? ”

Cheng Ming glanced at him lightly and said, "What do you think?" ”

Uncle Li said: "We can provide all of these!" Please forgive me for speculating in vain, the lord spent a lot of money to sit in the position of the magistrate, and he shouldn't just want to put on the big man's shelf and be a blessing. Although Qipin is an official the size of a sesame seed, it cannot be seen in the Jinluan Palace, but there are still officials and various officials from the state capital above.

The eldest lord took office for the first time, and when he came into contact with these, he would inevitably be in a hurry. How about working with us?

We will hire a staff member for the lord to take over the clerical affairs. As shown for the lord's gift, there is no need to pick up and send it, and there is no need to care about the collection of money and food, we will deal with all kinds of aspects, and there will be no mistakes.

The term of office is three years, and the lord can exercise the right to know the county, but he does not have to fulfill the obligation of the county governor. ”

Cheng Ming remained silent and asked, "Oh? And so good? So what do you want? Silver? ”

"We won't ask for the master's silver! will also send 20,000 taels of silver to the master one after another, although it is not much, you can also make up for one or two. ”

Uncle Li showed a grim smile on his face, lowered his voice and said, "And what the master needs to do is just stamp your big seal on individual regulations." ”

Cheng Ming smiled: "You have a good calculation." If you want to use my reputation to loot the people, the three-year term has expired, and you will disappear without a trace with the silver, leaving me with a stinking reputation, and if you are unlucky, you will be caught and killed by the above, and you will pay for my life!

Interesting, skillful, it seems that I haven't played this trick less before, right? ”

Uncle Li shook his head and said, "Master thinks too much, there won't be such a situation." We just rely on the power of the county magistrate to make some administrative compromises to large families in order to collect some remuneration.

Besides, this is the capital, the magistrate of Wanping County, Lao Ye District, because of the official the size of a mung bean. To say something disrespectful, I'm afraid that any noble person will not take you seriously.

Not to mention, we just want to loot the people, and we don't dare! ”

Uncle Li pointed to the roof and did not speak.

Cheng Ming knew that he was saying: At the feet of the Son of Heaven!

Cheng Ming thought about it and shook his head: "Don't mention this matter, I won't agree." After three months, you disappeared with eighty thousand taels of silver, and the money and goods were cleared. This business is over!

My business, I will solve it myself. ”

Cheng Ming stood up and walked out.

Uncle Li opened his mouth to speak, but found that the curtain in the side hall moved, stretched out a white little hand, and made a few movements.

He hesitated, bowed his head, and really didn't say anything more.

Cheng Ming turned around suddenly, only to see the curtain swaying slightly.

His eyelids were slightly raised, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he looked at Uncle Li, and said, "Haven't you found out where I came from?" Tell the people under your hands not to bother, delay the work, it is better to go to the teahouse to listen to a book when you have that time! ”

After saying that, he smiled and strode out.

Uncle Li had a little shock in his eyes, and lowered his head stiffly.
