The next day, Xie Hong went to work in the yamen as usual.

He actually felt that this master book was very boring, because there were no law and order problems in the county at all these days. Moreover, he was thinking more about going to Xuanfu after that.

Mother's body is getting better day by day, it seems that the facility of the nursing home is the most effective for the elderly, as long as you find a doctor with a higher level of diagnosis and treatment, the mother will soon get better. When you arrive at Xuanfu, you have to build a big mansion and make the environment better, so that you can't let your mother and Qing'er work anymore.

Planning the blueprint for the future in his heart, Xie Hong stepped into the county office.

As soon as he entered, Xie Hong found that something was wrong, and the officials were usually quite respectful to themselves, but today, what's wrong with these guys? That's a bit too respectful, isn't it? The clerks were bent like a prawn, and even the head of the Fu squad was full of smiles, this strange situation made Xie Hong very creepy.

"Master Xie, Master Lu...... Oh, no, it's the magistrate who asked you to go to the back hall, saying that there is something to discuss with you. Fu Bantou, who has always been easy to speak, didn't know why he passed such a simple sentence, and he stumbled in his mouth.

"yes, got it." Xie Hong nodded, even if Old Man Lu pretended to be the name of the magistrate, it would be okay to go there. After all, Wang Zhixian has already returned, and it is not interesting to get too stiff with his staff, anyway, he does not plan to stay in Beizhuang for a long time, so he is perfunctory.

Xie Hong is not a person who is too mean, if people don't provoke him, he won't bother to retaliate, revenge or something, how troublesome. He is willing to cooperate, it's not that he forgot what Master Lu did before, it's just that this old man hasn't made trouble recently, and Xie Hong is better than less.

When he arrived at the back hall, sure enough, Master Lu was sitting there alone, Xie Hong pursed his lips, and knew that this old man was pretending to pass on the holy decree, but since he was here, let's see what kind of weirdness he wants to play.

To Xie Hong's surprise, Old Man Lu turned out to be rebellious and sluggish, and as soon as he saw his figure, he hurriedly stood up, and then greeted him with a smile on his face. That old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, which made Xie Hong's stomach start to feel uncomfortable, and deepened Xie Hong's doubts: it was weird.

"Thank you, Master, your presence in person is really embarrassing for the little old man, please sit, please sit down." The old man's tone was also very strange, which made Xie Hong's hairs stand on end. So respectful? Xie Hong thought about it, as if since he entered the yamen, he had never seen this old man have a good face towards him, let alone be so respectful.

Nothing to do, either annihilation or theft, Xie Hong looked coldly at the old man doing something there, and he didn't speak, no matter what kind of medicine he sold in his gourd, it still had to be revealed after all. Want to stun yourself with a few nice words? I'm sorry, but my brother is a craftsman with a good psychological quality.

Old man Lu also felt Xie Hong's coldness, and knew that his diligence did not work. But he was still calm, not as embarrassed as usual. After all, the old man is not a fool, even if he is carried away by jealousy, he can't ignore Xie Hong's various magical performances since he offered the treasure, let alone really treat Xie Hong as a hairy boy.

"Thank you, Master Xie, inviting you here this time is actually the idea of Lord Zhixian."

"Oh?" Xie Hong raised his eyebrows, if this is the case, it makes sense, after all, the old man Lu is just a staff member, if the county magistrate has a life, the old man's attitude is more respectful, but it is understandable.

"Since Master Xie was in charge of the security of the county, the county has been a peaceful scene." Old man Lu sacrificed his strongest magic weapon, patting the sycophants, "The inspectors of Baoan Prefecture and even Xuanfu were full of praise when they passed by, saying that the people of Beizhuang County did not close their doors at night and did not leave anything behind, and the folk customs were extremely simple, and they were greatly praised, especially when it came to the education of the county magistrate and Xie Zhushu." ”

Thousands of clothes, no sycophants, this Master Lu took out the ability to take care of the house, even with Xie Hong's surname, and he was wary, he couldn't help but get slightly drunk. However, Xie Hong is a craftsman, he is very calm and cautious, but he lost his mind a little, and immediately regained his clarity.

What is the power of edification? Obviously, I just read the documents every day and improved my understanding of the Ming Dynasty, so if it can be regarded as a credit, then it is too easy to be an official of the Ming Dynasty. This old man is full of good words, not serious, it is better to be quiet. Thinking like this, Xie Hong was not moved, but said lightly:

"This indoctrination is the merit of the magistrate, and it has nothing to do with this official."

Master Lu was flashed again, and the hand that was gently pinching his beard accidentally used force, and a few of his beards were pulled off. "Is this a young man? Such a heart surname? Lao Tzu's horse kung fu is not ordinary, even in the officialdom of Xuanfu, he can be famous. Besides, what Lao Tzu said was Shangguan's praise, and this surnamed Xie was unmoved. ”

After so many things, his estimation of Xie Hong was already very high, but every time he came into contact, he was surprised to find that he had underestimated this young man again. Fortunately, he is also old, and his experience is not shallow, so he can continue to compliment quietly at this time:

"Lord Xie's words are too modest, if it weren't for the prestige of the lord, so that people like the Chen family would be subdued, how could this county have such a scene? The magistrate has his own education, but if it weren't for Lord Xie's thunderous means, there would definitely be no Beizhuang County today. ”

The old man tried his best, and the sycophants slapped loudly, and even the title was changed from Master Xie to Master Xie.

It's just that Xie Hong was dizzy when he heard it, and his prestige was far away? Why don't you say that my tiger body was shocked, and Wang Bazhi's qi leaked, this old man is too shameless. At that time, the Chen family dared to come to besiege themselves, and it wasn't you, the old man, who was behind him? Didn't the old man know that his words had included himself? Wow, shameless, shameless.

Xie Hong finally couldn't hold his breath: "Master Lu, you invited this official to come, wouldn't it be just to sing the praises of merit?" "I can't ink with this old man anymore, my brother really can't stand it, look, goosebumps are rising.

"Actually, I just want to express my admiration for Lord Xie." Old man Lu was a little proud, he had been cleaned up so many times, and finally gained the upper hand, although he just disgusted the other party with his shamelessness......

"In that case, the official will take his leave." Xie Hong's face turned pale, and he was about to get up.

"Master Xie, wait a minute, and then be truthful." Seeing that he was leaving, Master Lu panicked and hurriedly stopped: "Actually, this is the case, the magistrate has to practice calligraphy hard during this time, so it is inevitable that the affairs in the county will be a little too much." Although I can help a little in the next master, the magistrate always feels that the next master is in charge of too many things, and some of them are not right. ”

Well? Xie Hong was a little interested, so he sat back in his chair.

Master Lu was also overjoyed when he saw that Xie Hong seemed to be interested, and said in his heart: "I thought that your surname was so good, and how indifferent you were to fame and fortune, but it turned out to be nothing more than that, and when you heard that there was an opportunity to take charge, you would reveal your surname." What I'm afraid of is that you are really indifferent to fame and fortune, in this case, see if you don't take the bait this time? ”

Actually, Xie Hong didn't expect it to be so far, he was a craftsman, and he had never been an official, so what kind of problem did he want to get from being in charge?

He was just curious, did Lord Zhixian finally figure it out and want to fire this nasty old man? Then the old man interceded with himself. Well, there is some truth, but should you say something bad when the time comes? The bad guys should be in the hole.

Fortunately, Master Lu doesn't know how to read minds, otherwise if he knows Xie Hongzhuan's thoughts, maybe the old man will vomit blood.

"The magistrate of the county has seen this, and there is a young hero like Lord Xie in the county, so the adult decided to let Lord Xie share a little more responsibility. Old man Lu still looked flattering, but what he said really scared Xie Hong.

What is the matter of money and food? In the future generations, it will be the financial power, which is much more important than criminal law litigation or public security, even an officialdom like Xie Hong knows the important surname of finance and taxation.

After this period of time flipping through the papers, Xie Hong is no longer completely ignorant of the county government. If it is according to the regulations, the county master should indeed be in charge of the county's money and grain paperwork. However, this matter is too important, so the general magistrate prefers to grasp the matter in his own hands, and when he was conferred the official, Master Lu almost lost his words, and Wang Zhixian also hurriedly corrected it.

According to Xie Hong's analysis, the financial power of this era is even higher than that of later generations. Why? Because unlike later generations, the salary of officials in the Ming Dynasty was very low, he had a nine-grade master book, and a year's salary was only equivalent to thirty taels of silver, which was enough, but if he relied on this alone, he couldn't even save a little emergency money.

He is still a high-level official, and the other officials, including the classics, are even lower, so what do they rely on to eat? It's all kinds of extra money. The biggest extra money in the county government is on this money and food, and there are some public security, but it is much worse in comparison.

The oil and water of public security is nothing more than blackmailing the merchants, collecting some money and protection fees. But as far as Xie Hong knows, most of the businesses in this era were opened by large families, and many of the big families were official eunuchs, and there were not many people who could collect money from the officials.

And this money can't be swallowed by himself, and the profits must be shared among the officials. There are also indistinguishables, such as the previous Chen Dianshi, but Xie Hong knows his fate. If it weren't for the fact that this person had too much appetite and swallowed all the money, presumably the officials at that time would not have stood on their side and let themselves win so neatly.

Because of this, hearing this arrangement, Xie Hong's surname was also taken aback. Although he was not greedy for this bit of silver, such a big pie suddenly smashed over, and the shock it brought to him was no less than that of being an official.

But looking at Master Lu's ugly smiling face, Xie Hong couldn't think of anything wrong here, he was just a craftsman, and he was not familiar with officialdom. Could it be that Wang Zhixian felt that he was doing his job well, so he arranged it like this? Xie Hong's heart was full of doubts.

I couldn't figure it out, but in the end, Xie Hong still accepted this appointment, and from the rules point of view, this matter of money and food was originally the responsibility of the chief bookkeeper; Moreover, the appointment of the county magistrate cannot be refused. Because of the doubts in his heart, Xie Hong didn't notice that when he turned to leave, a cruel smile appeared on Master Lu's face.
