Han Gang's dispatch was decided, and after the Tang was removed, he was the new magistrate of Baima County.

Zhao Ji was a little sorry for this, but for the sake of Wang Anshi's insistence, and Han Gang was in Kaifeng Mansion, he didn't insist. But when he turned around, he issued a special decree to move Han Gang's official from Dr. Taichang to the right Zhengyan.

The left and right Zhengyan are on the same level as Dr. Taichang and Dr. Guozijian in terms of rank, and they are all the third order counted from bottom to top by court officials, from the seventh rank. However, in officialdom, there is still a distinction between superior and inferior. Dr. Guozijian is an official rank of an official with no origin, and Dr. Taichang is an official with a background according to the rules. As for the left and right righteous words, they must be specially decreed by the Son of Heaven, which belongs to the special cases favored by the emperor, and Wang Shao was the right righteous speech back then.

Han Gang has been automatically transferred from Dr. Guozijian to Dr. Taichang since he was a junior sergeant, and now Zhao Ji has issued a special decree to turn it into a right speaker. Although the rank of the official was moved, the importance that the Son of Heaven attached to Han Gang had been clearly revealed from this fate.

The outside world originally didn't understand the appointment of Han Gang being sent out of Tokyo City and going to Baima County to serve as the magistrate - how to say that Baima County was under the rule of Kaifeng Prefecture, saying that it was not close, and it was not far away - it was said that it was so that Han Gang's qualifications as a pro-people official could be mixed, and it was okay to say that he was afraid that he would get in the way in Beijing. But now, there is no need to speculate any more, no matter how Wang Anshi views his son-in-law, at least the Son of Heaven attaches great importance to Han Gang, which is enough.

Since he has already started to serve as a pro-people official, he must have a set of teams to handle government affairs, unlike when he is an assistant, he does not need the support of his staff.

Han Gang originally planned to find his classmates, but Wang Anshi, Wang Shao, and even Lu Huiqing and Cheng Hao all wrote letters of recommendation to recommend people.

Han Gang knew that this was common sense, so he accepted it all, but he didn't care whether the relationship between these people was harmonious or not. After more than half a month in the capital, Han Gang, under the send-off of the Wang brothers, took a group of staff and companions to Baima County.

……………………

Han Gang's inauguration in Baima County, in the capital, can only be regarded as a slight ripple, and there are countless officials with higher rank, wide reputation, and powerful positions than him. However, when the news reached Baima County, it immediately set off an uproar.

"Qipin court officials come to be the magistrate? Make no mistake! ”

"Still the son-in-law of Wang Xianggong!"

"The official position and identity are still trivial matters, and the key person is called Han Gang!"

"It's a problem. I heard that no one who offended him ended well. When he was not an official, he killed people without blinking, and after becoming an official, he was even more ruthless, didn't he just drive away a bachelor Yang recently? That's a Hanlin bachelor, you can be promoted to power in a blink of an eye! ”

"What to do? Since he is the son-in-law of Wang Xianggong, after he comes, he will protect the armor, be exempted from military service, facilitate the people, and water conservancy on farmland, and these new laws will definitely be stared at and urged. When the time comes, everyone will be tired and tired. ”

"That's a real problem......

"What are you afraid of! It's true that the front can't stand up to him, but when it comes to the bottom, it's not up to us to decide? Just be careful not to get into his hands. ”

"What Hu Lao Er said is exactly, what is there to be afraid of? If you really don't know what to do, Tokyo City is on the side, and it is not difficult to send some people to the market to help promote his Han Zhengyan's name! ”

"Well said! I'm afraid of what he will do! ”

"That's right! That's right! ”

This discussion was not in a restaurant, a teahouse or a private home, but appeared openly in the side hall of the Baima County Ya.

Sitting at the top of the hall, he was a middle-aged man who looked very rich, looking like a rich man, but he was wearing the soap-colored robe of a clerk. At the head of him, there is even a liunei official wearing a cyan official robe. But this rich official still sits firmly at the top alone.

Listening to the discussion below, he lowered his head and drank two sips of tea, and asked idly: "The new official has three fires in office, do you want to set yourself on fire?" ”

The discussion finally stopped, and none of the dozen or so people in the hall dared to speak. After a period of silence, the thin man known as Hu Lao Er leaned over and asked, "Big brother, you still have to come up with an idea about this matter." According to you, what should I do? ”

"That's right! Oshishi, what do you say, we all listen to you! The other official, who looked a little silly, chimed in.

More than twenty eyes looked over, and Zhu Li took another sip of tea very leisurely, not in a hurry to answer.

He has a great say in Baima County, and his two younger brothers are married to county lords, and they still have official status. relied on the second and third children to spend money to marry the clan, and the family became an official household, and he himself served as a official, controlling the government affairs of the county. Those who come here to be the magistrate, no matter how extravagant the background behind him is, if he doesn't want to be in trouble, he has to give him a face.

It is very easy for Zhu Li to be an official, and the reason why he holds on to his official post is because the oil and water in this place are too sufficient, and he is reluctant to let go - if he becomes an official, his current position is occupied by others, not to mention, maybe he will be transferred to Guangnan to supervise the liquor tax with an order. How can the water and soil in other places have the comfort of home?

To tell the truth, this is also a common practice in Tianxia Prefecture and County, which yamen has not done the situation of several generations in a row, father and son for decades? Such officials often carry more weight in their words than officials who hold the great seal of the yamen. The officials who came to take office offended them, so don't think you can do anything.

After a long while, Zhu Li spoke slowly: "Don't jump out first." As soon as the stick removed the grass hole, a group of snakes swam out, isn't this looking for a fight? Let's see what kind of character Han Zhengyan is? How is it to be a person? How's the intelligence? What about the means? When everything is clear, it's not too late to pay attention to it. ”

Hu Lao Er frowned and said: "After more than three years in the official, he has been promoted to this position, and he is as famous as Xu Da. It must be the best choice for intelligence and means, otherwise how could he be admitted to the ninth Jinshi, win the gamble of the Hanlin bachelor, and let the prime minister recruit him as a son-in-law. If you don't think about countermeasures first, it's not easy to deal with them when he gets to the county to give orders. ”

"If he's really as good as the legend says, that's fine. Such a person must not be doing it long in Baima County. Zhu Li smiled, "That is, after a year or two of hard work, you will be promoted." Not to mention that the favor of the Son of Heaven may be estranged, but will Weng and his son-in-law still be estranged? Will Wang Xianggong really let his son-in-law and daughter live in this county permanently? must have been transferred back to Tokyo early to get promoted and make a fortune. At most, I can only endure it for a year and a half. ”

Zhu Li's words were reasonable, Hu Lao Er closed his mouth and stopped talking, and the group nodded yes one after another.

Han Gang, who is about to serve as the county governor of Baima, is already a right-handed and virtuous school manager. This level is more than enough to be a Zhizhou. Now I came to be the magistrate because I was too young and my seniority was insufficient. And it is very easy to solve this problem, that is, to go through the motions, and after being the Baima Zhixian who is equivalent to a general judgment, you will be qualified to go to the next level.

Although it is a rule to be an official for three years, officials with backgrounds will be rewarded with a reduction in friction. It is common to subtract one year, and it is not uncommon to subtract two years, and even in some places, three or five governors and counties can be changed in a year. This is a typical example of mixing up qualifications and leaving.

"How many young people will be willing to work in the county? It's just the strength of the three fires, and with his temperament, it's good to pass. Zhu Li sneered, "Maybe in a few months, we will present the Wanmin umbrella and use two pieces of propaganda to send Han Zhengyan to Beijing to be a big official!" ”

After some deliberation, the conclusion was that it would be discussed again. The officials attending the meeting left one after another, but only one person who sat at the head of the Zhuli and wore official robes remained. Zhu Lin, the second eldest of the Zhu family, he didn't speak, and now that the outsiders have left, he has something to say.

"Big brother, that Han Gang is not easy to deal with, be careful that he will give people a horse when he comes up!" Zhu Lin reminded his brother, "You also know that my brother-in-law is good friends with Master Yang. After Bachelor Yang lost to Han Gang in the Qionglin Garden, he vomited blood several times when he went back, and when he left Beijing, he could barely walk. ”

Zhu Li snorted coldly, his face sinking like water. Putting the teacup on the few cases at hand, Zhu Lin trembled.

I saw that in the side hall, a small official trained Zhu Lin, an official: "Your brother-in-law doesn't have a score for doing things, and Yang Hui's guy is also frivolous!" It ended up in the current situation, and it was deserved! ”

Zhu Lin married the daughter of the sect. Her brother-in-law, Wang Yongnian, who is Zhu Lin's brother-in-law, did everything possible to stammer Yang Hua in order to ask for a good dispatch from the Jin Yaomen Library, and even let his Hun family come out to accompany the guests to serve wine. Not with a cup, but with his hands, his left and right hands together, holding the wine and feeding it to Yang Hui. Zhu Lin's sister-in-law is an outstanding beauty, fair-skinned and plump, and her hands are like jade. As soon as these hands were closed, it was known as the White Jade Lotus Cup, and Yang Hui even wrote several poems to commemorate it!

"The library is indeed poor, and every year the paper in the library is vacated, and how many printing shops are begging for it." Zhu Li shook his head, very disappreciative - the quality of the paper used in the government is first-class, and only one side is used when used, and after the printing room buys the old paper removed from the official treasury, it can be directly turned over and printed on the back, and the quality of the books is far above Fujian and Hangzhou-"But it will not be so good that it will let his Hun family come out to accompany the guests, and she is also a sect girl." If this thing is committed, even if there is no Han Gang, Yang Hui will not stay in Beijing for long. If no one deals with him, it's just that, if you want to drive him out of Beijing, this is the best crime. I don't have an accurate number of people and things, and I am really lucky to be able to get into the Hanlin Bachelor! ”

"It's true that Master Yang is not right, but Han Gang is not easy to deal with."

"Han Gang was originally born in doing things, and he was later admitted to the Jinshi. A person like him, who has been an official for one term, must have intended to 'benefit one party', and always wanted to achieve something - to put it mildly, it was a great achievement. Zhu Li's eyes were deep: "Since we have something to ask for, we have the opportunity to meet Xihe." Help him in the beginning, help him, and do good with him. These means are supposed to be done and should be done. Flattery is good, and it will be good in the future. ”

"But if he ......," Zhu Lin became slurred.

The corners of Zhu Li's mouth twitched, revealing a chilling smile: "If Han Gang is not interested, he will have his own strategy to deal with it." ”
