Half an hour later, everyone came to the county government of Jiangning County.

The pattern of the Yamen of Daming Prefecture and County is almost the same, the difference is that there are two stone lions at the door of the Yamen of Gyeonggi County, and the two stone lions of Jiangning County are smaller than those of the Yingtianfu Yamen, and they seem to be the younger brothers and sisters of the two lions of the Yamen.

At the door of the county office, there were still two sergeants, looking listless.

Zheng Keyou walked quickly to the front and shouted loudly.

"Jiangning County's new magistrate Su has taken office."

The two sergeants were excited, and looked as if a large group of people had fallen from the sky, and immediately came to their senses.

Su Tiancheng is not ordinary among everyone, and his momentum is not ordinary, he is undoubtedly the new magistrate, but it looks too young, and the magistrate of Jiangning County has not seen such a young person.

The two sergeants did not hesitate and immediately knelt down.

"Subordinates greet Lord Su."

"Get up."

Su Tiancheng opened his mouth to speak, and the two sergeants finally believed that this young and surprisingly handsome young man was the new magistrate. A sergeant ran in quickly, probably to report it.

Su Tiancheng did not delay and entered the county government directly.

Lu Tianming, the county magistrate of Jiangning County, was in the office, and the former magistrate of the county left Jiangning County, was promoted, and went to the household department of the capital, and he had been away for nearly a month. The main book was also changed a few days ago, the previous main book was transferred to the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing, and the new master Bo Qu Qingze was still familiar with the situation.

The affairs in the county government must be dealt with, Jiangning County is Gyeonggi County, and it is impossible for someone to temporarily act as the governor of the county, not to mention that the jurisdiction of Jiangning County is so big, there are too many things.

Fortunately, the newly appointed county magistrate Su Tiancheng arrived today and finally came out.

Su Tiancheng's fame, Lu Tianming is a knowledgeable Taoist, Shanxi Township tried to solve the Yuan, will try to solve the Yuan, will test the Yuan, the palace test list, wrote a lot of poems, widely praised, such a person, there is no doubt about the literary talent.

Lu Tianming carefully read the Di Bao, and he felt strange that Su Tiancheng was the eye of the palace examination, and it was said that he should enter the Hanlin Academy, so why did he go out to Jiangning County.

Besides, Su Tiancheng is only nineteen years old, it seems that he is too young, is it a little hasty to be sent to Jiangning County as the magistrate, at least lack of experience, it is very important to know the status of Jiangning County, far from ordinary counties can be compared, and serving as the magistrate here requires dealing with a lot of tricky things.

Jiangning County is Gyeonggi County, and the disparity in the rank of officials is somewhat large, the magistrate county is the sixth grade, but the county is only the seventh grade, and the main Bo is the eighth grade, which is somewhat different from other counties, which leads to the asymmetry of power.

The power of the magistrate is very great, and the county magistrate and the lord will not raise any objections to the matters that are decided. This situation is like a few hundred years later, when the person in charge of a local party committee is concurrently a member of the standing committee of the party committee at the next higher level, the authority of the person in charge is of course different.

When the sergeant came in to report, Lu Tianming was carefully reviewing the materials, and when he heard that the magistrate had arrived, he hurriedly walked out of the room and walked quickly towards the lobby.

"Xiaguan Lu Tianming, the county magistrate of Jiangning County, meet Master Su."

"Lord Lu, don't be polite, I'll wait to work together again in the future, and pay more attention."

"This is the duty of this official, and I dare not make mistakes."

Seeing Su Tiancheng, Lu Tianming's first impression was calm, but between his gestures, he showed an unhurried temperament, supplemented by his elegant and handsome appearance, as if he was in the chest.

Lu Tianming quickly put away the little Jiujiu in his heart, this magistrate is estimated to be very powerful.

Lord Boqu Qingze also hurried out and saluted Su Tiancheng.

In such a public occasion, Qu Qingze must of course pay attention to etiquette.

Seeing that the county magistrate and the lord Bo of Jiangning County were coming, Zheng Keyou spoke.

"Lord Lu, Lord Qu, Lord Su has taken office today, and the lower officials think that it is time to hand over the seal."

Lu Tianming was busy saying that when Su Tiancheng took office, the focus was to take over the official seal, which is a symbol of power.

The official seal plays an important role, and the power of the county is almost expressed through the official seal.

For example, if the magistrate of the county adjudicates the case and makes a conclusion, the document must be stamped with the official seal before it officially takes effect, and the scribe who appoints and dismisses the county government has no evidence, and when he sees the official seal, he means that he has taken office, and he has dealt with a lot of people's livelihood.

The official seal of an official is generally kept by the official's confidants, and there must be no mistakes, and if they are accidentally lost, the official will also be punished.

There are strict regulations on the size of the official seal, the emperor's jade seal is the largest, jade, the official seal of the six ministries and the imperial court, including the official seal of the political envoy and the yamen, are all made of gold, and the official seal below the prefect is all copper.

Let's just say that the official seal of Jiangning County, two inches and two minutes square, three and a half centimeters thick, is changed to a unit of quantity hundreds of years later, that is, a square of seven centimeters, and the official seal has a handle and a height of nine centimeters.

All the official seals of the Ming Dynasty were made by the Casting and Printing Bureau.

The official seal is actually not very large, not much different from the official seal hundreds of years later.

When the county government issued an announcement, the seal looked huge, it was when it was printed, and the official seal was enlarged.

In addition to the matter of receiving the seal, there is also the official uniform, after the former magistrate leaves, he will leave a set of official clothes and a set of regular clothes, as for the court clothes, sacrificial clothes and gift clothes, they will definitely not be left.

The court clothes are mainly worn in the capital to participate in the dynasty, all year round, it is difficult for the county to get the capital to go once, let alone say anything to the court, this court dress is just a decoration, but maybe, in case the emperor has a convulsion one day, I want to see you, I can use it, especially in a place like Jiangning County.

The sacrificial clothes are a truth, but the sacrificial clothes are used once a year, and the county needs to wear sacrificial clothes on special days to worship ancestors, including worshipping the heavens.

As for the service, no one dares to do it by themselves, this is given by the emperor, do it yourself, unless you don't want your head.

This official uniform, in the final analysis, needs to be redone, everyone's figure is different, it can only be tailor-made, and there are special shops for official uniforms. This kind of shop only dares to do it after the government authorizes it.

After every official takes office, the first thing is to receive the official seal, and the second thing is to make an official uniform, complete these two things, and take the rest slowly.

The seal is temporarily kept by Lu Tianming, sealed in the treasury of the county government, when the county magistrate does not arrive, no one dares to use this seal, otherwise he will be impeached, he must lose the black yarn, make a bad trouble, and go to the prison.

During this time, Lu Tianming has always been a little trembling, he is the county governor of the seventh grade, and it is impossible to dream of taking over the governor of Gyeonggi County, so keeping the seal letter has also become a chore, for fear of a little mistake, and now that the new county magistrate Su Tiancheng is here, he can hand it over, but this is a big trouble.

The group came to the treasury of the county government, which was in the middle of the second to third halls, with the treasury on the left and the account room on the right. This storehouse mainly keeps official documents and other things, similar to the archives bureau hundreds of years later, as for the storehouse where gold, silver, treasures and grain are stored, there is a special place and a special person to handle it.

After taking the official seal, Su Tiancheng didn't care very much, and handed it to Su Jun behind him.

Su Jun's feeling was different, holding the official seal, his face was a little pale, and he carefully guarded it, for fear of getting dirty, he was so big, it was the first time he saw the official seal of the yamen.

Wang Dazhi also paid attention to it, and signaled with his eyes, and immediately there were four courtyards, surrounding Su Jun in the middle.

The official uniform left in the warehouse, Su Tiancheng didn't look at it at all, he was a six-grade official, the color of the official uniform was cyan, and the complement on his chest was a heron, all of which needed to be done again, as for the expenses, they were paid from the special guy's silver.

After finishing all the handover matters, Su Tiancheng smiled and spoke.

"Lord Zheng, I have worked hard for you today, Jiangning County has set up a banquet to entertain Lord Zheng, Lord Zheng must not refuse, Lord Lu and Lord Qu will participate together, Lord Zheng is the official of Ying Tianfu, and when he came to Jiangning County, it means that because of his talent, Jiangning County can not be neglected."

Zheng Keyou waved his hand again and again.

"Lord Su said so, the lower officials have no place to be ashamed, the lower officials are for Lord Su, if there is anything that has not been done well, Lord Su can point it out."

Su Tiancheng smiled at Zheng Keyou, turned his head and asked Lu Tianming.

"Lord Lu, where is the county government arranging banquets?"

"Back to my lord, most of them are arranged in the Four Seas Restaurant."

"Okay, then arrange it in Sihai Building, who should participate, Lord Lu will decide."

"The next official will arrange it."

Lu Tianming took Zheng Keyou to the Yin Hotel in front to rest, Su Tiancheng still had something to do, that is, to go to the back of Santang to have a look, which is where he will live in the future.

This time, Qu Qingze accompanied him to see it.

Su Jun, Su Ertong, Wang Dazhi and others who followed Su Tiancheng to come, at this time, it is impossible to be idle, they have to clean up well, and at the same time they must be familiar with the terrain.

The backyard is very large, and some of the big ones are beyond Su Tiancheng's expectations, with pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, all available.

Walking in the courtyard for a while, Su Tiancheng couldn't help but shake his head secretly, no wonder everyone is going to be an official, the treatment after becoming an official is good enough, let's just say that such a big residence, how can ordinary people enjoy it.

Qu Qingze, who was beside him, kept smiling and didn't speak. Su Tiancheng was a little strange.

"Brother, what are you laughing at, don't you think this Jiangning County is very good, better than the place where Jinyiwei stays."
