In February, the dragon raised its head, and the dragon did not raise its head, and people raised their heads.

In the north of the capital, Xiaoqing River, Tiekou Hutong. The entire street was originally the storehouse of Kyoto's largest trading house, Qianshunying, and there were no residents. Half a month ago, after Qian Shunying's Gu Dongjia accompanied a noble son to come once, within a few days, Qian Shunying transported the mountains of goods inside to other places, vacating all the buildings in this alley.

Just when people were speculating about where the divine could make the Qianshun prosperous place, a few blasting rods were erected at the door of the mansion in the alley, and there was a crackling sound, no one congratulated him, and no one came out to say a few words. Qin Lei's Inspection Temple Civilian Affairs Department opened so coldly.

It's deserted outside, but it's bustling inside. Many masons and civil engineers are rebuilding this complex of countless warehouses according to Qin Lei's wishes.

At this time, Qin Lei was in the small courtyard where the steward originally lived, and met Qin Qi, who had just returned from the grassland last night. The burst of firecrackers was to welcome Lord Qin, the secretary of the People's Affairs Department, to take up his new position.

The two sat cross-legged on the kang, each holding a bowl of noodles, and they were eating fragrantly. Qin Qi traveled day and night, and was summoned back by Qin Lei instead of changing people. If it weren't for the tough body polished by years of grassland wind and frost, I am afraid that it would take three or five days to recover.

And now, Qin Dusi didn't know whether to be proud of his iron body or complain about his cheap bones. After only one day of rest, he regained his strength, and today he took office with a roar.

After the two of them finished breakfast, Qin Sishui put away the dishes and chopsticks, wiped the table, and withdrew, so that the prince and Du Si could talk.

Qin Lei patted his stomach and said with a smile: "When I returned to Kyoto, I have been eating finely, but it is not as enjoyable as today's cat food." ”

Qin Qi smiled and said: "The prince usually uses fine food every day, and once in a while he eats Zhuanghu rice, of course he feels that the taste is unique, if he eats it a few more times, he is afraid that he will be tasteless." ”

Qin Lei scratched his cheeks and scolded with a smile: "Old Qin, you always hit the nail on the head when you speak, and you hit the nail on the head. The lonely king couldn't reply. ”

The two of them were ripe on the grassland, and Qin Qi was not pretentious, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have been driven to the prairie from the Metropolitan Procuratorate back then." ”

Qin Lei stopped laughing, looked at Qin Qi and said, "From today on, you just have to do things well, and it is the responsibility of this king to carry out the black pot with open guns and hidden arrows." ”

Qin Qi was grateful in his heart, he was introverted, but he couldn't say anything meaty, so he could only give his hand and say: "I must do a good job of my errand." ”

Qin Lei nodded with a smile and asked, "Shen Qing, how are they, have the military horses and supplies been delivered to the place?" ”

Qin Qi said unequivocally: "It's all done, Your Highness rest assured." ”

Qin Lei knew that the chief manager was as careful as a hair, and he said that if it was done, there would be no problem. Bringing the topic back to Zhongdu, he looked at Qin Qi frankly, and said with a straight face: "Do you know why you, instead of Guantao, are you going to do this capital?" ”

Qin Qi thought about it for a while, and said frankly: "Mr. Guantao is a think-tank who is strategizing, and he is bound by doing this kind of practice. ”

Qin Lei bowed his head and said: "Pavilion Tao Sheng is in retreat, and you Qin Qi Sheng is pragmatic." ”

Qin Qi calmly accepted Qin Lei's evaluation.

Qin Lei continued: "The reason why it was opened before the renovation was completed was to tell the officials who came in the future that it was clear here, and that what they wanted could only rely on their own hands. That's why I chose you, and I can say that I chose your pragmatism. ”

Qin Qi nodded in mind.

Qin Lei looked directly into Qin Qi's eyes and said in a deep voice: "People say that three years old looks old. What kind of atmosphere this yamen will have in the future, and how much success it can have, depends on how you, the first governor, will lead it. If you are a cat, bring out the cat, and if you are a tiger, bring out the tiger. ”

This statement is the first time Qin Qi has heard this, but he feels very reasonable. He asked solemnly, "What does the prince want this yamen to be?"

Qin Lei said: "Wolves, wolves on the grassland." ”

Qin Qi has lived in the grassland for a long time, and he is naturally very clear about the creatures that he respects and hates the grassland people. He said slowly: "Cruel, cunning, wise, brave, united, tenacious, pragmatic......"

Qin Lei received: "There is also loyalty, loyalty to the wolves, loyalty to the head wolf." ”

Qin Qi pondered for a moment and confessed: "Cruelty, cunning, and even wisdom cannot be brought out by subordinates. ”

If the first two things are missing, it is not a wolf, but a dog.

Dogs are not bad, Qin Lei said in his heart. Of course, he couldn't say this, he smiled and said, "You just bring, what is missing, come and make up for them." ”

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, the two stopped talking, and Qin Lei asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Qin Surabaya's voice sounded: "Lord Wang, the officials sent by the Ministry have arrived." ”

Qin Lei smiled at Qin Qi and said outside, "Let them come in." ”

After a while, in the small courtyard, nine low-grade officials dressed in green or cyan robes bowed respectfully in front of Qin Lei and Qin Qi according to their ranks.

When they got up, Qin Lei smiled and said, "It seems that we really have fate, a few." ”

These nine were all officials who sat beside Qin Lei at the farewell banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve last year. At that time, Qin Lei thought that Emperor Zhaowu intended to toss himself, but it turned out that he had already prepared his subordinates for himself at that time.

These six, seven, or eight petty officials had no way of knowing the intrigues and intrigues at the top, and when they saw Qin Lei at first glance, they were all overjoyed. It is a great blessing to be able to work under a prince who I knew before and who did not have much of a fight.

It was because everyone was full of joy, and the one with the highest official rank, Zhu Gui, the former director of the Ministry of Rites, hugged his fists and said: "It is really a privilege for subordinates to be able to serve under the prince, and they will definitely saddle the horse and swear to the death." The other eight nodded vigorously.

None of these lower-level officials were born in the imperial ranks, and they all started as junior officials and climbed step by step to the point where they are today. Being able to wear official robes and black yarn already shows their ability, but it can only go so far, not an inch. The official positions above are all set up for those who are born as jinshi or have a title to make up for them, and they have nothing to do with these petty officials who are born as soap officials.

Take Zhu Gui as an example, he was born in the head of the criminal department before entering the stream, because he was appreciated by Qin Shouchou of the criminal department at that time, he was promoted to the prison of the ninth grade, and then the inspection of the ninth grade, the promotion of the eighth grade, and the light grinding of the eighth grade. This fourth-level promotion was completed in only three years, and then it took a full eight years to grind in the position of terruma. If it weren't for Qin Shouclum's clumsy reminiscence of the old feelings and asking him for a position in the Ministry of Rites to be the head of the sixth-grade patrol, he would probably not be able to cross the seventh-grade hurdle in his life. Now in his fifth year in this position, he is also thirty-seven years old.

If it weren't for the fact that the word "patrol" was too notorious, even Qin Shouclumsy wouldn't be able to ask for it.

Most of these officials have similar experiences, and they are very satisfied to be able to work together to promote the ranks.

Qin Lei said a few words of comfort, and greeted Xie Wuwu and Cheng Simin in particular, which made the two of them inexplicably grateful. At this time, Shi Yong and the others came in from the outside, dressed in sawdust and plaster. Qin Lei found that several of the officials were secretly frowning.

Qin Lei beckoned Shi Yong and a few others to come over and let them get to know each other. Zhu Gui knew that these mud-legged characters were his future colleagues, and he couldn't help but be surprised. Zhu Gui and these officials are naturally a little inferior, because they care more about official etiquette and official authority than those officials who make up for the imperial examination, lest they lose their dignity. Although in front of Qin Lei, he didn't dare to show contempt for Shi Yong and the others, but there was always a hint of alienation in his polite tone.

Shi Yong first served as a soldier, then served as Qin Lei's personal soldier, and fought bloodily in the tiger for half a year. I haven't been an official, and I can't figure out the official frame or anything like that, so I didn't see that Zhu Gui and they looked down on themselves for a while.

Qin Lei has a short temperament, Shi Yong is his hardcore team, how can he let others ignore him, he glanced at Qin Qi with displeasure in his heart, and said lightly: "I'll leave it to you here, Lord Qin." Saying that, he nodded to everyone, and in the voice of "Congratulations to the prince", he went straight out of the small courtyard.

Qin Qi has gone through vicissitudes, but he is a character with a wooden face and a bright heart, and he sent Qin Lei to the door. Seeing that it was far away from the courtyard, he whispered: "Your Highness is angry, as the saying goes, big officials are difficult to fight, and small officials are difficult to fight." These old soap officials are all well-cultivated characters, and their minds are the most difficult to figure out, and Your Highness must not be like them. ”

Qin Lei said angrily in a low voice: "If you really want to be knowledgeable, Gu would have already gone out with fifty military sticks and forks." ”

Qin Qi knew that Qin Lei was gentle and drizzling on his face, but he still had a martial temper in his bones. has the heart to advise, but does not have the courage of Guantao. But he has his own way, Qin Qi stood and saluted: "My subordinates are willing to make a military order, kill this evil spirit within a month, and turn the entire Civil Affairs Department into what His Highness wants within two months." If you can't do it, please take off the black yarn and drive for the prince. ”

Qin Lei was not angry with Qin Qi, nor did he make a face at him, and said warmly: "Old Qin, you know that I have never been right about things and people, this atmosphere must be killed, and this team must also be brought well." That's the bottom line. As for whether you want to be punished or not, I don't care. I just want the result, I don't want your black yarn. ”

Qin Qi bowed and saluted: "Humble and orderly." ”

Qin Qi's subordinates were still hanging in the yard, Qin Lei asked him to go back, he walked around the construction site for a while, then got into the carriage waiting on the side, left the Civil Affairs Division, and drove along the Xiaoqing River in the direction of Qinglong Street, he was going to inspect another construction site.
