Outside the empty city gates, a group of people stood. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This city, named Dai County, is where the county capital of Dai County is located, and the group in front of the city gate are also wearing official uniforms, and their identities are self-evident.

They suddenly received news this morning that the new acting county warden had arrived a few miles away and would arrive soon, and they needed to be prepared by the county government and go over to meet them as soon as possible.

Suddenly, the entire county government, together with the county order team of Dai County, fell into chaos at this moment, and the busy chickens and dogs began to make arrangements.

This welcoming ceremony is not to show that they want to take the field and put up a show, let alone get used to the welcome of Pengcheng's fathers and villagers, and when they arrive in a new place, they must be concocted in the same way as they are majestic, but according to the standards of the imperial court, they are carrying out routine reports.

Don't underestimate this form, this is actually one of the manifestations of etiquette, and in this era, etiquette is the embodiment of order, but also in order to maintain legitimacy and authority, through ritual actions, to determine the relationship between the upper and lower belonging, respect and inferiority, is the most direct, but also more effective way to establish personal authority, which is conducive to the next governance and rule.

Even if Chen Zhi had other means, there was no reason to throw away this routine and start anew.

It's just that, compared with other places, there is an awkward atmosphere in Daijun at this moment.

The reason is very simple, that is, the original Daijun was too guarded in the land area, and the people had not left yet, and he was still in Daijun, so the people around here, according to the rules of the imperial court, had to take care of the face of this old Shangguan, and they seemed a little timid.

Because Chen Zhi took office this time, it is different from the normal situation, normal appointment, although there is also a handover, but generally the predecessor has completed a six-year term, and then the successor comes over, and the two sides carry out a simple handover, and the process of this handover is sometimes not carried out locally.

Especially in places like Youzhou, the construction of official roads is quite lagging behind, and there is the infestation of nomadic tribes in the frontier, and many times this handover is carried out in the state office, or in Jixian County, Yan County, where Wang Jun is often stationed.

The two sides brought their own staff or some files to carry out the formal delivery, and the specific inventory and verification work had to wait for the new county guard to arrive at the place and organize their own personnel to carry it out, even if it was handed over locally, in fact, it could not be counted in person.

Chen Zhi received the notice before and went directly to Jixian County, in fact, he also had this in mind.

In case of special circumstances, such as the former county guard being taken down in advance, or some illness, the process of handover is carried out in a farther place, or even in the capital, under special circumstances, such as the predecessor simply died, or under special circumstances, lost control of the county, then this handover has become a formality, and everything has to rely on the new appointment to the locality, in order to understand and verify one by one.

This time, Chen Zhi's entry is actually the most special situation, most of the counties in Youzhou are controlled by Wang Jun, and the county guard of Guangning County, where he was going to go, was directly expelled because of some excuses, and then there were many changes in the county, and the so-called county guard could not know everything, if Chen Zhi went to Guangning County, the handover would be very complicated.

What's more, there was an accident in the middle, Chen Zi finally failed to go to Guangning, but came to Dai County, and the county guard of Dai County was not promoted, but was changed to Guangning County next to it.

If Chen Zhi could see Wang Jun in Jixian County, it would be good that the former county guard of Dai County would also pass, and the two sides would meet in Ji County, but because of the problem of Duan Xianbei, Wang Jun did not let Chen Zhi enter the county at all, which shortened the stay time of Chen Zhi and his party, and let them enter Dai County in advance, so they should have left for the land area of Yan County two days later, so they met Chen Zhi in Dai County by mistake.

Dai County, as a border county, is still a barrier in Youzhou, and there are Xiongnu on the side, although the environment is not good, but Guangning County is not much better, not to mention that as one of Wang Jun's minions, Lu District also faintly knows that the current situation in Guangning County is not good, and if you go there, it is definitely better to be in Dai County.

But what can be done, this is a decision made from above, and he can't afford to refuse.

Such emotions will naturally be manifested in the usual words and deeds of the land area, so that his subordinates and others will notice that they want to welcome Chen Zhi now, which will stimulate the emotions of this old county guard, and they have not left Youzhou, just Guangning County on the side, which is not only the county guard, but also Wang Jun's close person, and he will not be able to deal with Chen Zhi for a while, but this generation of county up and down, if he is hated by this and retaliated by him, it will not be able to eat and walk around.

But in the same way, if you don't show respect at this time, you will be remembered by the new county guard in the future, even if the new county guard can't do it and is finally set up, it is still more than enough to deal with one or two subordinates and subordinates.

"The current situation is really weird, but why did this new county guard come so quickly?"

"Yes, if Lu Junshou leaves, he will come again, and there will not be so many things, which will be a little complicated now."

"In fact, Lu Junshou was already dissatisfied with this new county guard, and hinted at us everywhere in the past few days, and even directly ordered a few of his henchmen to prepare for this new county guard to look good."

"It's understandable, after all, Guangning County has just been looted by the Hu people recently, I heard that the situation is very complicated, the damage is very serious, compared with Dai County, Guangning County is much dilapidated, and whoever it is will not be willing."

"Actually, even if there is no looting by the Hu people, I'm afraid Lu Junshou won't be happy, he has been in the county for three years, and he finally managed to run it, just after gaining a firm foothold, he turned his face and was transferred to the next county, who he replaced, he couldn't let go, and it was normal to be angry with the new county guard."

"Having said that, it's really hard to say whether this new county guard can resist it and whether he can stand firm."

"Anyway, that Chen Junshou also has a lot of fame, but he is a talented academic, he must have the ability, I have read several of his articles."

"How is this knowledge, and whether you can govern a county, it's not the same thing, are there still few people talking on paper? What's more, there are also the orders of the Lu County Guard, so that before the new County Keeper comes, there are a lot of enemies. ”

The people standing in front of the city gate were talking to each other, they were all tested by the ups and downs of officialdom for a long time, and they could naturally see the problems behind them from the current situation, and they couldn't help but discuss it.

Just when everyone was restless, they suddenly heard someone in front of them shouting "coming".

Suddenly, everyone was in good spirits and looked ahead, and as far as the eye could see, there were several slowly approaching carriages and many family members guarding the side.

The men followed the carriage, but with neat steps, controlling the speed of their running, and their clothes and colors were uniform, and as they ran closer, the ground shook slightly.

This kind of shaking made the hearts of the people who greeted them also shake, looking at the family members of that team, at a cursory glance, at least more than 100 people, but they all seemed to be well-trained, much more elite than the officers and soldiers they saw in the garrison outside the city.

"This is the new county guard, and the chariot is followed by the housekeeper? Didn't you say that this county keeper was born in a local family? It is a branch of the Chen family, which has long shown signs of decline, how did such a family train such a family? ”

There were a few people who knew a little bit about the soldiers, and they couldn't help but talk about it.

In fact, there are very few people who are officials and errand workers in Daijun who have nothing to do with the affairs of the soldiers, and they have their own set of standards for judging the elite level of soldiers and horses.

But soon, as the convoy approached, everyone took advantage of the situation to put this little thought away, and instead turned their attention away from the family and focused on the convoy itself.

Crunch.

The wheels stopped, and then someone got out of the car, led by Chen Zhi, who was saluting the people who came to greet him according to the etiquette of officialdom.

"I've seen Chen Junshou!"

Chen Zhi's portrait, which has long been accompanied by the document of the notice, has been passed into the hands of everyone, and now few people can't recognize it, even if they don't remember their appearance, they can tell the main character just by looking at the position.

"Chen Junshou, subordinate Liu Bao, is the county magistrate, and he led all the officials to greet Shangguan."

"Xiaguan Lu said, for the county magistrate, I have seen Chen Junshou."

Two people came over to salute Chen Zhi one after the other, and from their clothes, it could be seen that they were the leaders of this group of officials.

Sure enough, one is the history of the county magistrate, and the other is the county magistrate of the county where the county keeper is located.

This county magistrate's history is actually equivalent to the county's history, but the county is located on the frontier and involves military affairs, so it is named after the long history.

The two came out and saluted Chen Zhi on behalf of the county officialdom, even if the ceremony was over, Chen Zhi's identity was affirmed, and then after a greeting and politeness, he followed everyone into the county.

However, when entering the city, Chen Zhi called Chen Ju again and ordered them to go down, so that they could find out the defense of the city in the shortest possible time and strengthen it.

Dai County, the capital of Dai County, also has a long history, and in the history of the past two Han Dynasty, there have been many stories, and there are also stories during the Three Kingdoms, so the county magistrate Shi walked while introducing the history of this city to Chen Zhi, and Chen Zhi looked around and nodded from time to time.

However, Chen Zi, Yang Song and others, who were following Chen Zhi, shook their heads secretly, not satisfied with the situation in this county.

As the capital of a county, Dai County should have concentrated the manpower and material resources of the entire county, reflecting the heritage of the entire county, but Dai County is quite old, except for the stronger city walls, which gives people a hurry, even the ordinary counties in the hinterland of the Central Plains are not as good, let alone compared with the county government over there.

"It's really not easy to be a politician here."

The two glanced at each other, and they both saw a solemn look in each other's eyes.

Earlier, Changshi Liu Bao was still introducing, and suddenly a messenger came over and said to a few people: "Everyone, the county guard learned that you were coming, and sent me to invite you over." ”
