Sun Juyang followed behind, explaining as he walked: "As the saying goes, there are three fires when a new official takes office, does the master burn it or not?" If it burns, how many fires are there? ”

Ye Yu immediately became interested when he heard this, so he asked rhetorically: "Then Secretary Sun, do you think I should burn it, or not?" ”

"Uh...... It's all up to you, the county master, to decide. However, when the new official takes office, the local squire and celebrities will definitely give gifts to congratulate, so do you accept this gift or not? ”

At this time, Ah Kuan, the scholar on the side, couldn't listen anymore, and shouted: "Hey, why do I say that there are so many problems with being an official?" ”

Although Ah Kuan is a scholar, but following Ye Yu's side, Sun Juyang naturally didn't dare to offend, so he explained: "Being an official is like this, although the lowly position is small, but he is also used to seeing a lot of world conditions. ”

"Scribe Sun, is this gift still exquisite?"

"Master Yingming, this is a big deal, if you accept it, you won't be able to offend these people in the future! You have to take care of three points when doing things. As the saying goes, eat other people's mouth is short, and take other people's soft hands, that's the truth! ”

"Then the young master of our family will not accept it, the young master is a rich party, how can he lack that money?" Ah Kuan glanced at Sun Juyang angrily, and said proudly.

Sun Juyang was not annoyed, and still said with a smile: "I have heard of Master Ye's deeds for a long time, but if you don't accept gifts, Master, you will offend all of them!" I can't do anything in the future......"

"In this way, I don't accept this gift, and I don't accept it?"

After Ye Yu listened to Sun Juyang's story, he actually amused himself. Now he finally understands that it is not easy to be a clean official throughout the ages.

"According to the past practice, it is obviously not possible not to accept it, but you can receive gifts, and there must be a way to receive it......"

Sun Juyang patiently explained to Ye Yu, the new magistrate, the way of being an official. After Ye Yu listened to Sun Juyang's explanation, it can be said that he opened a lot of eyes!

Receiving gifts, who should receive them, who should not receive them, who should send them first and then receive them, and who will receive them first and then send them...... The knowledge in this made Ye Yu feel that being an official was more tiring than doing business. Recalling Lu Kun, the magistrate of Qingliu County, Ye Yu felt a little sympathetic at the moment.

Before each magistrate arrives, he will carry a local relationship map in his waist, and he has already inquired clearly in advance, whose family has more money, whose family is strong, and whose family has a relationship with the government......

These are listed one by one on the relationship chart, and when the time comes, it will be easy to take office.

Sun Juyang's words made Ye Yu feel that he had to do his studies again, but it was not a sage article, but an official's knowledge.

The three of them stopped and walked into a courtyard, and although the main hall in the courtyard was a lot simple, it was still neat. Sun Juyang beckoned Ye Yu to enter the side room of the main hall, and said diligently: "This place has been arranged, you are tired all the way, you can rest first, and retire!" ”

Sun Juyang was about to retreat, but Ye Yu left him behind and asked: "The geography of this Anfeng County is mostly Gangpo, and most of them are trapped by drought, but there is no shortage of water. As long as the canal is repaired and the water is diverted, 10,000 acres of farmland will be harvested all year round. ”

Ye Yu's questioning made Sun Juyang quite stunned, in the five magistrates of the county he sent away, when he first took office, he asked about the squires and celebrities in the county.

Now the young man in front of him is different, just based on his sporadic narration, you can see the pros and cons of the county's governance, which has to make Sun Juyang look at Ye Yu a few points.

"What the master said is very true, when the predecessor Zhang Zhixian was in office, he asked the county people to pay silver according to the head for this matter, and raised tens of thousands of silver to start repairing the canal, but there was an accident in the middle of the project, so it was delayed......"

Sun Juyang saw that Ye Yu was thoughtful, and immediately reminded kindly: "Does the master want to meddle in this matter?" ”

"What, what's the mystery here?" Ye Yu saw something strange from Sun Juyang's words and deeds.

Sun Juyang hesitated for a moment, and then said kindly: "If the lord generously contributes to build the embankment, it is a very good thing, but if he meddles in this matter, it is better for the lord to ignore it!" ”

"Oh? Why? ”

"The lord didn't know, the canal project was in charge of the county Ding Chengju Ding staff at that time, this person is kind and good at water conservancy, Zhang Zhixian is quite appreciative of this person, entrusted him with important tasks, money and manpower are deployed by this person!"

"Isn't that good? If you have money and people, how can you give up halfway? When Ah Kuan heard this, he asked very puzzled.

Ye Yu sat on the side and listened calmly, and finally said to himself: "It's all the trouble caused by money......

"What the master said is very true, but the canal is halfway repaired, and I don't want anyone to sue me that Ding Chengju embezzled money, so the capital sent someone to investigate, and the official of the investigation is Lord Feng Kai, who supervises the imperial history."

Speaking of this past, Sun Juyang was still angry: "As soon as this superintendent of the imperial history arrived, he indiscriminately put Ding Chengju in prison!" Ding Chengju refused to admit it to death, and finally died in prison......"

"Then where is this superintendent of the Imperial Historian Zhuo Feng Kai now in office?" Listening to Sun Juyang's tone, there was obviously some problem with the supervising Yu Shizhuo Feng Kai, so Ye Yu asked this question.

"Back to the master, now this person is in this county when he returns to his hometown, the Zhuo family is a big family, and he has a close relationship with the government, this stomping of the whole county will shake three times!"

Ye Yu sighed slightly, then shook his head and asked Ding Chengju, who died in prison, if he had left anything behind after death. In Ye Yu's opinion, since he would rather die than admit his guilt, most of them were wrongfully killed.

If there are any clues left, it is not known that the case may be overturned.

As a result, after asking, he really found some clues, Ding Chengju left a water conservancy map after his death, and repeatedly asked his family that his grievances were on this water conservancy map.

What puzzled everyone was that only half of the structural design of the canal was drawn on the map, with neither numbers nor words, and everyone thought it was nonsense before Ding Chengju's death.

However, when Ye Yu asked where the water map was now, the result was quite regrettable, because the map had been lost. Ye Yu smiled coldly at this, thinking that there are really people who are weak-hearted!

After pondering for a moment, Ye Yu touched his chin and smiled at Sun Juyang: "Scribe Sun, don't you want to send some congratulatory gifts to this official?" ”

"Gift-giving?"

"Yes, not only to send, but also to send more, with great fanfare! Let's just say that the new magistrate receives gifts, and those who come do not refuse the more, the better......"

"Oh, sir, even if you sell all your belongings, you can't take it......"

Sun Juyang didn't expect that the young magistrate in front of him would change his face faster than turning a book, and he still asked about the people's livelihood with a righteous attitude, and he was going to receive a big gift in the blink of an eye.

Looking at Sun Juyang, who was crying and mourning, Ye Yu smiled heartily: "Then it's really a fake gift, and it's good to throw bricks and attract jade!" ”

"Master, please forgive me for talking too much, why do you have to tarnish your reputation so much if you have thousands of family assets? With the master so young, he will definitely be a talent to worship the prime minister in the future, so wouldn't it be ......?"

"Eh, Scribe Sun doesn't need to say much, just do what the official says!" Ye Yu waved his hand, signaling that Sun Juyang could retreat!

Seeing Ye Yu so resolute, Sun Juyang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, such an excellent offspring was blinded by greedy words! Pity! Pity!

Waiting for Sun Juyang to leave the room, Ye Yu turned his head and said calmly to Ah Kuan: "There is a tea house called Yipinxiang on Taiping Street in the north of the city, you go there as my identity to check the old news of Anfeng County!" ”

"Yes!"

……

In the county of Anfeng County, there is a luxurious mansion in the west of the city, and the birds and flowers in the courtyard are very elegant. An old man in light clothes in the courtyard was practicing the five bird opera slowly and orderly.

The Five Birds Opera originated from the health preservation method created by Hua Tuo, similar to the yoga of later generations, although the old man has white hair but is extraordinarily energetic, and his face is ruddy like a middle-aged man who has just passed the confusion.

This person is the one who returned to his hometown, the former superintendent of the imperial Shi Zhuo Feng Kai.

At this time, a middle-aged maidservant walked in from outside the moon gate, came to the front and bowed and said, "Please dine!" ”

"Where?" Zhuo Fengkai accepted the move, and asked casually with smooth luck.

The middle-aged maid bowed her head and responded, "It's still an old place!" ”

Immediately led by the middle-aged maidservant, Zhuo Fengkai walked towards the small garden next door with a figure-eight step.

When they came to the remote garden wing, they saw that the three women had been waiting for a long time. These three women are not very slender, but a little fat, especially the double peaks on their chests are about to come out.

Zhuo Fengkai glanced at the three women in the room, and said impatiently: "Why these three again?" You see, it's old and ugly, and the milk of the three of them together is not enough for the old man to have a full meal! ”

"Master, I have sent people to look around, and I must go to the woman who gave birth to her first child, is young and beautiful, and has plenty of money! Sir, you will use it first, and when you find it, you will definitely prepare a ...... for you."

After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she walked to the woman waiting on the side, and went to Zhuo Fengkai in order, unbuttoned her shirt and even her inner clothes, revealing her plump and snow-white chest, which shook in front of Zhuo Fengkai.

Zhuo Fengkai had long been accustomed to this way of eating, so as soon as he closed his eyes and opened his big mouth, which was almost toothless, he took it in one gulp......

His body moved back and forth slightly, and the sound of squeaky sucking filled the room.

"Sir!" At this time, the voice of the housekeeper of Zhuo Mansion came from outside the door.

Zhuo Fengkai wiped his mouth, burped, and motioned for these disheveled nurses to retreat, and then said unhappily: "Come in!" ”

The housekeeper walked into the room and handed a letter to Zhuo Fengkai: "Master, this is a letter from the capital!" ”

"Oh? From the capital? ”

Zhuo Fengkai hurriedly opened the letter and read through its contents. Then he was slightly surprised, and then asked: "What is the movement of this new county magistrate Ye Yu after he arrives?" ”

"Back to the master, after the arrival of the new magistrate, there was news that those who received gifts would not refuse!"

"Whoever becomes a scorpion stings someone, this kid is so rich and wants to make a big profit, it's really greedy!" Zhuo Fengkai sneered, "Send someone to keep an eye on this kid for me, and report to the old man in time if there is any move!" ”

"The villain understands, so let's arrange it!"
