After taking the money of other families, he still has to do things, this is the minimum morality, while thinking about the documents of Lord Ma Maocai, the prefect of Yan'an, Lu Weibiao began to "meet" the students recommended by the five major families in the county, his main purpose is to get even a few words from these students, so that he can understand the extent of the famine in the county.

There are a total of ninety-seven students who participated in the county examination, of which more than 30 students from the He family participated in the county examination, accounting for one-third, and the remaining four families together are about 50 people, in addition to Taohua Town and other places to go to the county seat to participate in the county examination students, from the perspective of grasping the situation, Lu Weibiao is afraid that he will see the students from those villages and towns, and he can know many of the following situations, but he can't do this, there are rules in this.

The He family recommended a total of ten students, begging the county magistrate to see it, the county examination of Mizhi County, the students who can pass are about twenty, just one He family, to occupy about half of the index, this is also a bit excessive, but for the sake of silver, Lu Weibiao does not account for so much, anyway, the officials at all levels below have also received the benefits of the He family, he is a county magistrate, if he wants to maintain the balance in the county, he must take into account the strength of the family.

The first thing Lu Weibiao saw was naturally a student of the He family.

This ritual of seeing each other is also exquisite, what to say, Lu Weibiao knows what to say.

In less than a day, Lu Weibiao met all ten students recommended by the He family, and his nose was crooked.

It is not too much to describe these ten students with a rice bucket, Lu Weibiao needs to understand many actual situations in the county, not to show these students in front of him, he Lu Weibiao is also a two-list jinshi, in terms of his knowledge, these students are like children who have just begun to learn to speak in front of him.

But what he didn't expect was that the ten students of the He family talked about two aspects in front of him, one was to show their own knowledge, and they also analyzed the Four Books and Five Classics with ingenuity, and the other was to praise him, the magistrate, and praised him as the most powerful person in the world.

Lu Weibiao also tried to ask them about some firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, but he didn't expect these students' answers, they all didn't know their heads, and they also said righteously that the readers would not know about these trivial things.

Lu Weibiao couldn't cry or laugh, and he also knew that the people of the Lu family had specially instructed these ten students and warned them what to say in front of the magistrate.

Lu Weibiao also knows that it is no wonder that these students, nor the He family, have done this for the past two years, especially in the first year of Lu Weibiao's tenure, he is very happy to hear these words, but as time goes by, people's mentality will change, and Lu Weibiao is no longer willing to listen to these flattering words, especially the flattering words that come out of the young man's mouth.

Lu Weibiao stubbornly met with the students recommended by the ********, the Liu family and the Wang family in turn, and the results were all the same, there was nothing new, and at this time, he had to give up the idea of obtaining the actual situation in the county from the students.

This year, the Wu family only recommended one student, which made Lu Weibiao feel strange, how could there be more than two people in the past, what happened to the Wu family not long ago, Lu Weibiao was also clear, although he didn't care, but as the magistrate of Mizhi County, someone naturally reported all the matters in detail.

What happened to the Wu family in just half a month, after Lu Weibiao heard the report, he felt that it was not simple, this big family handled things differently, especially a matter that was about to destroy the family, and moved it over abruptly, it must have taken some thought, but it was Wu Mianqing of the Wu family who dealt with this matter, and it was also the identity of the person, Lu Weibiao didn't feel particularly strange, if a person can't deal with the family's affairs, then this fame will be in vain.

Lu Weibiao put the Wu family last, it was an unintentional move, anyway, the power of the five major families in the county, he was very clear in his heart, the Wu family can only be regarded as having such a skin, and there is no real content in it.

Seeing that the day of replying to the document is coming, Lu Weibiao is very anxious, he can't really write, the situation is to know some, but the lack of core content, it is difficult to make the reply document brilliant, and he is a little unwilling to hand over this document to the master to reply, after all, this is a document written by Master Ma himself, it must be very important.

It was in such a entanglement that Lu Weibiao decided to meet such a student recommended by the Wu family, which could be regarded as completing the task.

Wu Fanhui came to the county office and waited outside the county office.

Mizhi County, like many other counties in Daming, also has Dongzhi Street, Nanzhi Street and Beizhi Street, but it is not worthy of the name, these streets are not very wide, and there are no decent houses on both sides of the street, the most eye-catching building in the city is the county government, followed by the He family, the ********, the Liu family, the Wu family and the Wang family's residence.

The county government is in Dongzhi Street, and the families of the five major families are also in Dongzhi Street, which is not the most prosperous place in the county, but it is the most majestic place, and ordinary people generally do not come here.

Nanzhi Street is the most prosperous place, most of the restaurants and inns, including the only Qinglou in the county, are in Nanzhi Street, as for Beizhi Street, including Chengnan Hutong, it is where the common people live.

There are not many people in the county, but from the first month of the month to the first month, some households moved to live in the county, and they have similar ideas as Wu Fanhui.

Wu Fanhui is very familiar with Dongzhi Street, but he has never been to the county office, and he has never even passed by here.

This time when he came to the county office, Wu Fanhui was still a little curious.

Before crossing the identity of a civil servant, when focusing on the history of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Fanhui was also very interested in the official buildings at all levels of the Ming Dynasty, hundreds of years later, basically could not see the preserved Ming Dynasty Fuzhou County Yamen, after all, these yamen were originally built in the most prosperous area of the city, but now it is different, Wu Fanhui can clearly understand the architectural pattern of the Yamen in Fuzhou County.

The county government of the Ming Dynasty was isolated from the outside world, surrounded by high walls, and there were no people and households around the county government, and the entire county government almost occupied half a street alone, which was even more prominent in places like Mizhi County.

The county government of Mizhi County, the prison, the warehouse, the county school, the Yin Hotel, the post station, etc. are all in the county government, only the Confucian Temple is still a few hundred meters away from the county government.

The gate of the county government is in the direction of due south, and the gate of these departments is in the east, which is not the same direction as the gate of the county government, which is probably also to reflect the majesty of the county government. The hotel, warehouse, and prison are all contained within the county government.

When Wu Fanhui came to the county office, he walked around outside the county office, and this circle took him half an hour, which made Wu Fanhui staggered, in the small county town of Mizhi, the county government occupies such a large place, which shows that the authority of the Ming government in the local area is not ordinary.

The county school and the post station in the east, from the outside look very simple, the ordinary gate, the plaque hangs above the gate, if you don't approach, you may not be able to see very clearly, the difference is that the gate of the post station has been tightly closed, and there is no one waiting outside the gate.

The county government is not the same, just in front is a piece of the wall, after bypassing the wall, it is the archway, the plaque on the archway is written "Zhonglian Fang" three big characters, after the archway, it is the main gate of the county government, the vermilion gate, the wall on the left and right sides is figure-eight, the whitewashed snow, there is a pair of stone lions on both sides of the gate, although the body shape is not very big, but it looks very majestic, next to the stone lion on the left, a pair of wooden frames hold a big drum, this big drum is for the people to beat the drum and cry out the grievances.

But this drum is not knocked casually, those descriptions in the TV series have the element of jokes, if ordinary people don't encounter life and death events, no one will knock on the big drum, because if you beat this drum casually, the county magistrate will go to the court to listen to the grievances, if you don't say it well, or it's a trivial matter, the officials standing on both sides of the county government hall, the stick in their hands is not vegetarian, it will fall on your buttocks, and you won't be able to get out of bed for several months.

The gate of the county government is closed all the time, unless it is when the magistrate of the county ascends to the court to try the case, the gate will be opened, and when there are people who submit complaints, cry out grievances, they also enter through the side door next to the gate.

Unless the officials come, the doors of the yamen will all be opened.

There were a total of six gates in the county office, so hundreds of years later, six doors were used instead of the county office.

After Wu Fanhui reported his home outside the county office, he waited honestly.

About half an hour later, a government official with Wu Fanhui entered the county government through the side door on the left.

The front is a piece of the wall, blocking the view, after bypassing the wall, the drum tower that appears in front of you, here is the highest place of the county government, you can see the whole county when you climb the drum tower.

Passing through the drum tower and the Yongdao, what appears in front of you is the instrument door, the instrument door is three, the instrument door in the middle will not be opened easily, the same Shangguan is coming, or the parents and elders of the county magistrate will come to open, and what is opened on weekdays is the ear door on both sides.

After passing through the ear door, the sight widened.

A huge courtyard appeared in front of him, and in front of the courtyard was the lobby of the county office.

In other words, when you come here, you can be regarded as really coming to the county office.

The place where the magistrate met Wu Fanhui was the wing room behind the lobby.
