"Won't you glue or leave?"

Li Tongzhi was slightly stunned, and then fell into deep thought. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

No matter how he is from a third-class fellow jinshi, his understanding is still okay, and he naturally understands what the staff wants to express.

When the new prefect arrived, he couldn't be too enthusiastic or too indifferent.

Too much enthusiasm will be considered flattery, and too cold will be seen as discordant with the new prefect.

The most correct attitude is to be as Pei Yun said, not to glue or leave.

After a pause, Li Tongzhi continued: "Just follow what you said." ”

"The proprietor is wise."

Pei Yun sent another sycophant, and said with a smile: "There is one more thing that the proprietor needs to pay attention to, this new prefect must have his own people around him when he arrives, and these proprietors can't be offended." ”

Li Tongzhi was slightly displeased.

It was just a matter of him showing favor to Xie Shen, after all, the other party was the prefect. But if Xie Shen's servant can also rely on his power to show off, it will be a bit of a headache for Li Tongzhi.

"Well, the official treats them politely."

Li Tongzhi thought about it, and if he lowered his posture, he would not lose a piece of meat, at most he would lose face.

In order to lose some face in the long run, let's lose some face.

"You have to be ready for this reception, don't fall into the name of my Lu'an Mansion."

Although the strong earthquake has just passed, it is impossible not to set up a reception banquet for the new prefect.

"The proprietor can rest assured, Pei will arrange it so that people can't make mistakes."

Pei Yun stroked his beard and said with a faint smile.

......

......

God forbid, in the next few days, Lu'an Mansion did not die again because of the epidemic.

Li Xiaoji, the Tongzhi of Lu'an Prefecture, who commanded the disaster and earthquake resistance, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu'an Mansion is now in ruins, and if the new prefect sees such a miserable scene when he arrives, he really doesn't know what kind of anger it will cause.

On April 11, the frame of the new prefect of Lu'an finally came to Fucheng.

Li Xiaoji led the officials of Lu'an Mansion to meet him at the city gate.

The kind prefect opened the curtain of the carriage and greeted his subordinates, said that it was not to disturb the people, and then ordered the carriage to march into the city.

Li Xiaoji was entrusted by Pei Yun before, so naturally he would not be too attentive, and the arrangements to greet Xie Shen were all in accordance with the regulations and did not exceed the rules.

However, it was said that Xie Shen was welcomed into the mansion like a moon by the stars, and did not immediately participate in the reception banquet set by his colleagues and subordinates, but came to the back office to sleep first.

The road from Jingshi to Lu'an Mansion is long, and the land route is not as good as the waterway, and the bumps along the way almost torture people to the point of collapse.

Xie Shen felt the most along the way that the traffic in the Ming Dynasty was really bad. This is still an official road, and if it is an ordinary country road, I can't imagine it.

In contrast, the importance of the Grand Canal is revealed.

It is no wonder that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty tried his best to build the Grand Canal, but he used too much force to destroy the country for a while.

By the time Xie Shen squinted and woke up again, it was already dusk.

The fatigue of the long journey hadn't completely subsided, but he was at least able to concentrate on the reception.

This is the official reception banquet of Lu'an Mansion, and Xu Qianqian naturally can't participate. Therefore, Xie Shen changed his official robe and went straight to the banquet, while Lu Chongtian served on the side and never left an inch.

The reception banquet was in the mansion, and before the banquet, Xie Shen glanced at it and saw more than a dozen Lu'an Mansion officials talking and laughing to themselves, without the sadness after the earthquake.

Xie Shen sneered in his heart, it seems that it is impossible to expect these officials to be the masters of the people, and it will be thankful if he does not loot the people's fat and ointment.

"Master Xie is here."

A sharp-eyed glance saw Xie Shen and reminded Li Tongzhi.

Li Tongzhi took a deep breath and immediately changed into a professional smile, this face change speed is absolutely first-class.

"The mansion is a big driver, and the lower officials are far away."

Li Tongzhi bowed his hand to Xie Shen, but his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.

I still have some impressions of this fellow acquaintance of Lu'an Mansion, Xie Shen.

Compared with other officials, this man is quite a bit of a literati, and he is also around forty years old, so he should be able to use it when he is capable.

Xie Shen waved his hand and said: "Li Tongzhi doesn't need to be polite, this official was ordered by the emperor to go to Lu'an to take office, and he was quite tired from the starry night all the way, so he took a break, he shouldn't have asked you to wait longer, right?" ”

Li Tongzhi said with a smile: "Fuzun said that he was laughing. ”

Xie Shen nodded and happily sat down. The attendant Lu Chongtian stood behind him, ready to be sent at any time.

There has been such a thing as a reception banquet since ancient times, and it has always been more form than content.

The reception banquet looks at an attitude, and as for the dishes, it is estimated that no one will care.

Inspecting people at the wine table is a compulsory course for every civil official, and Xie Shen is no exception.

For him, the first thing to do when he first arrived in Lu'an was to recognize the faces of officials, big and small, so that he could control the situation and not be set aside.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Xie Shen said quietly: "The earthquake in Tunliu has affected the entire Lu'an Mansion. The official came from Beijing and entered the Lu'an territory, and when he saw many refugees fleeing the disaster, he felt very unbearable. When the official stepped forward to ask, he learned that after the earthquake, there was another plague, and more people died than during the earthquake. They fled for their lives. ”

Speaking of this, Xie Shen paused and glanced at the Lu'an officials on the wine table.

The atmosphere was very embarrassing, and the officials of Lu'an Mansion were all watching their noses and noses, and no one dared to speak out.

Xie Shen had expected this situation, so he coughed and said, "Natural disasters and man-made disasters, which one does Li Tongzhi think is more terrifying?" ”

Then Li Xiao basically thought that Xie Shen would be over when he mentioned it, but who knew that he asked him by name, and he was bitter.

But he didn't dare to hold it up, so he had to stubbornly reply: "Naturally, man-made disasters are more terrible." ”

Xie Shen said with satisfaction: "Not bad." Natural disasters are like earthquakes, although the earthquake is terrible, but after all, it is only a temporary disaster. But if people's hearts are rotten and cause man-made disasters, it will cause endless harm. ”

Li Xiaoji felt that Xie Shen had something to say, how awkward it sounded, but it was not easy to have a seizure, so he had to laugh and say: "Fuzun is really insightful and hits the nail on the head." ”

"This official has the emperor's order, so he naturally has to deal with the aftermath of the earthquake. Now that Lu'an Mansion is in ruins, I hope that all my colleagues will work together to assist this official. There can be natural disasters in this Lu'an Mansion, but there must be no human disasters! ”

The last sentence has a different meaning to different people.

At least Lee Hyo-gi was very uncomfortable. Could it be that Governor Xie thought that he Li Xiaoji was not doing well, which caused the plague?

Originally, Li Xiaoji thought that Xie Shen must have no political experience at a young age, but he relied on his outspokenness to brush up some prestige, and he was really unworthy of his name.

But now it seems that this son is not only well versed in the rules of officialdom, but also extremely brilliant in the use of power and political skills, no wonder he can get the respect of the Son of Heaven.

Li Xiaoji didn't dare to fight Xie Shen anymore, he just hoped that Governor Xie wouldn't trouble him.
