Before the autumn harvest was completed, the reconstruction work was completed, and the city of Banbienhira Castle, which had been affected by fire, appeared in front of the world with a new look.

Ascending the city wall, Chen Zhixian walked in front, and Yan Zhushu, Huo County Lieutenant and Lotte followed behind. Looking down at Pingyu, Chen Zhixian, who has always been unsmiling, is also smiling at the moment.

The city is surrounded by green water, and the roads are wide and tidy, compared to the old city that has not been burned before, it is much more bleak and dilapidated.

Back to the county office, the three old men sat in the flower hall to discuss, now that the reconstruction of Pingyu has been completed and reported to the Lufu, after the autumn is busy, the officials of the road will come to Pingyu to inspect, and the preparation will naturally be sufficient.

The Song Dynasty ruled all the way equivalent to the current provincial division, precisely because of the redundant officials and redundant soldiers in the Song Dynasty, the prefectures and counties under the rule were subject to the constraints of many departments of the Lu Mansion, and it can be said that a daughter-in-law and several in-laws are in charge. At present, Pingyu has made such a big political achievement project, in addition to the Lu Mansion Shuai Division, the officials of the three major yamen of the Constitutional Division, the Transshipment Division, and the Cang Division will all come to inspect.

Out of the flower hall, Lotte asked Yan in puzzlement: "Master of the book, the road house is inspecting Pingyu, and it is okay to have the boss of the Shuai Division and the boss of Zhizhou, why do Cao Si, Xian Si and Cang Si send people here?" ”

"The imperial court ordered relief, naturally to transfer grain money from the Lufu Cangsi, and transfer it to Pingyu through the Cao Division, except for the Xiansi, they are all in charge of the disaster area, not to mention that the Xiansi and the Cangsi have the responsibility of supervising the Luxia Governor's Office, so it is not surprising that they come together!" Master Yan said, paused and instructed Lotte: "You have to be careful in entertaining a few old adults!" ”

In response, Lotte didn't expect that the official system of the Great Song Dynasty would constrain each other to such a complicated extent.

The time flashed to the end of September, and the weather was still a little hot at noon on this day, but Lotte had to go out of the city site early in the morning and stand on the bank of the Qing River in a daze.

The busy farming season is just coming to an end, and a group of officials from the road government came to Pingyu to inspect, speaking of which the Marshal Mansion in the northwest of Beijing pacified the officials, and the Yingzhou Governor Longtu Pavilion Bachelor Lu Kailu also served as the Caizhou Governor, naturally came to Pingyu, all the way to command the three products, although it is not a very human minister, but it also has some weight in the court.

At the ferry port ten miles west of Hecheng in Pingyu County, the county's high-level officials came to greet them, in addition to the county school seniors, teachers and inspectors and other miscellaneous military attachés, the county government six rooms and the head of the errand Ling, almost the entire Pingyu officials are pouring out of the nest, and there are also county students and fathers and elders, adding up to more than forty or fifty people.

According to the news from the post house, the day before yesterday, the Lu Anfu Division came to Caizhou, inspected Caizhou yesterday, and left Caizhou this morning, and the fleet was heading towards Pingyu.

The waiting crowd was chatting and waiting, when they heard that the messenger who was in charge of watching suddenly shouted: "The fleet is coming!" ”

Everyone immediately stopped talking, looked into the distance, and saw that in the distance of the Qinghe River, several big boats appeared in the shadows, and when the big boat got closer, they could clearly see the handsome flags and signs played on the boat.

Not long after, the officials stopped on the shore, and all the officials and squires on the shore saluted in unison.

I saw several officials dressed in purple, scarlet, and green official robes, walking out of the cabin in turn according to their ranks, especially the middle-aged man in the purple official robe standing in front of him was even more eye-catching, and he helped everyone on the deck: "Don't be polite, you are also bothered to rebuild peace!" ”

Lotte peeked at this person, and thought that this was Lu Kai from the Yingchang Marshal Mansion, and the one in the scarlet robe next to him was Ye Mengde, the governor of Caizhou, who had seen it twice, and as for the other few officials, who wanted to come to the Lufu Division.

Chen Zhixian, who was standing at the front of the crowd, replied: "All the bosses came to inspect the peace, and the officials and people of the county were all looking forward to it. ”

After a few words, the upper and lower officials completed the answer, Lu Anfu and a group of officials of the four divisions of the road government returned to the cabin, and the official ship continued to sail in the direction of Pingyu, and got off the boat at the Qinghe wharf in the south of the city and took a sedan chair.

On the shore, all the officials and gentry returned the same way, and no one dared to complain.

Looking at the official ship heading towards Pingyu, Lotte secretly said in his heart, sure enough, it was the official university who crushed people to death, not to mention Chen Zhixian, it was Ye Mengde, who was a member of the fourth grade, and he was also bowing his head at the moment, and he completely lost his former official authority.

Many officials on the road also sped up their journey, and they had to greet these adults by the Qinghe River in the south of the city, after all, they could see the new appearance of Pingyu when they entered Pingyu, and Chen Zhixian and others didn't want to show their faces in front of a group of Shangguan masters.

Hurriedly rushed to the bank of the Qinghe River in the south of the city, and before they had time to rest, a group of officials from Pingyu welcomed Lu Anfu and others off the official boat.

After meeting the officials, Chen Zhixian said respectfully: "Please get on the sedan chair and go to the county mansion to rest first!" ”

Lu Anfu chuckled and said: "You don't have to get on the sedan chair, this official is in a car, and you can just take a look when you enter Pingyu County, what Pingyu looks like after reconstruction!" ”

Chen Zhixian and the others did not dare to stop them, so they bowed down and followed behind Lu Anfu and other officials, and walked towards Pingyu City.

As a county official, Lotte was naturally at the back of the line, but when he was walking, he saw an acquaintance at the end of the team among the officials of the road mansion.

This person is none other than Tian Wei, who once took Lotte down from the state government prison because of a toothbrush.

"Why did General Tian also come to Pingyu?" Lotte took two quick steps and stepped forward to salute and asked.

"Mr. Le!" Tian Wei slowed down and walked side by side with Lotte: "This official is now serving in the Yingzhou Marshal's Mansion, and this trip is to protect the old man!" When he said this, Tian Wei lowered his voice and said, "Sir, don't talk to people!" ”

didn't say it, Lotte understood in his heart, Tian Weiming is the general of the Huaikang Army, and secretly he is still a secret agent of the Imperial City Division, and to put it bluntly, he is here to monitor the Shuaifu.

During the greetings, Lotte looked at Tian Wei's official uniform again, obviously Tian Wei was not demoted because he caught himself by mistake, it seems that this old man's life is getting more and more enjoyable.

A group of miscellaneous officials in Pingyu saw Lotte and Tian Wei talking, and the attitude between the two was very close, Gu was frightened, and secretly said that Lotte had a wide range of friends, and even there were people who knew each other in the marshal's mansion.

Entered Pingyu County, after the reconstruction, Pingyu made Lu An's eyes shine, and the place that had not been rebuilt became a stark contrast, and he stopped and stroked his beard and couldn't help nodding: "The reconstruction of Pingyu is really a new atmosphere, so neat and staggered, even the Jingshi Bianliang City is not as good as it!" ”

Immediately, Lu An's face showed a little puzzled look, and he asked Chen Zhixian beside him, "Why is there such a large open space left at the entrance to the south of the city?" ”

Chen Zhixian replied according to Lotte's previous statement: "If you go back to the old man, this is Pingyu Square for the leisure of the people!" While speaking, Lotte pointed to a huge stone monument in the square and said: "Suffering from the fire, in order to express the respect of today's officials for sympathizing with me and the people, a special stone monument is erected to show the grace of the king and alert the people!" ”

Lu Anfu nodded slightly, led a group of officials to the stone tablet, and watched it carefully.

Chen Zhixian explained to Lu An's officials on the side: "I am in this catastrophe, in addition to the imperial court's relief, the county squires donated silver and materials to rebuild, which is the required building materials and stones, and it is also the supply of many merchants without taking benefits, for the kindness of the senses and the people, especially in the stone tablet inscription to show virtue!" ”

While listening to Chen Zhixian's explanation, Lu Anfu nodded slightly: "Under Chen Zhixian's rule, Pingyu is really an official and a good person, and this official should play the court and ask for credit for you!" ”

Song Shi He once had the concept of urban planning, seeing the small bridges and flowing water in the city, and the clear distinction between residential areas and commercial areas, even Lu Anfu and others, who had seen many of the world, were also surprised.

It is still a county mansion, Chen Zhixian settled a group of people who entered the city, and after a short rest, he was introduced to the main hall of the mansion and set up an official banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust.

Just after the hour, the feast began, and Chen Zhixian ordered someone to serve wine and food. After a few brief opening remarks, the feast officially began.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Hello, who was dressed as a scholar, got up and said to the lords of the road government who were present: "Your lords inspect my peace, just because the fire has just been gone for a long time, my county is really negligent, and I hope you will forgive your sins!" ”

After a pause, Lotte continued: "Xiao Di has personally experienced the Pingyu fire, and has witnessed many touching things when the fire broke out. ”

The officials of the Lu Mansion knew in their hearts that the inspection of Pingyu was originally to inspect the disaster area, and if there was a female servant serving wine at the banquet, it would reach the ears of the Fengxian officials, and those imperial envoys who were idle and wanted to provoke thorns would inevitably rush to the official family to participate in their own people, and everyone knew it from the bottom of their hearts.

Hearing Lotte speak like this, all the officials and masters of the Lu Mansion looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Lu An's envoy.

Appeasement made Lu Kai raise his eyebrows lightly: "You kid is full of nonsense, how can a group of officials from my Lu Mansion inspect the disaster area, how can there be a maiden to serve wine?" ”

Lotte hurriedly said: "The old man misunderstood, this is a drama is different from a female servant!" ”

Ye Mengde, who was sitting under Lu An's appeasement envoy, knew that Chen Zhixian and the others would never even know the habits of officialdom, and it was not unintentional to be able to speak like this, so he arched his hand and said to Lu Kai: "Lord Jinglu might as well take a look first, if it is not appropriate to reprimand!" ”

Lu Kai was still a little hesitant in his heart.

Ye Mengde pointed at Lotte again, and said to Lu An's envoy: "The name of this little friend, I think the boss has also heard of it, and the county official who wrote about Linjiang Immortal and Yanhuai is!" ”

"Whoa!" Listening to Ye Mengde's words, Lu Anfu showed a look of surprise in his eyes, and asked Lotte: "You are the county official who made the rolling Yangtze River East and the water that did not damage his heart?" ”

Lotte hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the words of the old man, the humble work made by the small bottom really can't enter the ears and eyes of the old man!" ”

The officials on Jingbei Road had also heard of these poems written (copied) by Lotte, and for a while, several adults also showed a little curiosity in their eyes.

"That's it!" Lu Kai waved his hand: "This official has mercy on you, and see how you write this word, if it is not good, then stop blaming this official for reprimanding!" ”

"Thank you, Mr. Jingluo!" Lotte was busy.

As he spoke, Lotte said goodbye and sat down.

In the surprised eyes of a group of officials, I saw a large curtain being pulled up, and after a dozen breaths, I only heard someone behind the scenes shouting: "It's water!" ”

As the sound fell, the curtain was pulled open again, and a background curtain depicting the scene of the fire appeared in front of the officials.
