Chapter X: Decisions
Fang Xing couldn't get out of bed for a few days after being beaten by Ye Chen last time, and he was still carried into the examination room today. However, he was not worried, and heard his father say to himself that he had already contacted an examiner for him, as long as the examiner saw him, and he just had to write good luck on the test paper after answering the paper. Although Fang Xing was beaten by Ye Chen, he still had ill intentions towards Zhang Qian, that chick was so good-looking, she would be a great beauty in a few years, she was too unwilling to get it, Fang Xing, who finished answering the paper, couldn't help but start planning how to find Ye Chen's trouble again.
"Qian'er, no one came to trouble you?" Ye Chen asked.
"No, my brother said it, this is the gate of the county government, who dares to come. I just heard from others that Lord Zhixian and the Fang family don't seem to have a good relationship. Zhang Qian said playfully.
When Ye Chen heard this, he suddenly remembered, this magistrate had just been sent down in the past two years. I wanted to do something to make some political achievements and rise up as soon as possible, but because I accidentally touched the interests of the Fang family in the process, so now everything is obstructed by the Fang family, if it weren't for the Fang family having some way in the prefect, the county magistrate would have solved the Fang family a long time ago.
"Qian'er, my brother took you to the street to play, it seems that he hasn't taken you out to play yet." Ye Chen said to Zhang Qian.
"Really?" Zhang Qian asked in disbelief.
Ye Chen tapped lightly on her little head and said, "When did my brother lie to you, of course it's true." ”
"Brother is so good, Qian'er has long wanted to go out with her brother." Zhang Qian said excitedly, she has been staying at home for more than three years in Hexian County, and it is the first time she has come to the county government today. Usually, although she wanted to go out for a long time, she didn't want to trouble Ye Chen, but today Ye Chen took the initiative to accompany her to play, and she felt a little happy too suddenly.
Ye Chen couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at this happy elf-like girl, in this patriarchal era, being good-looking is not necessarily a good thing. Most of the good-looking girls were generally sold to rich people, and the daughters of rich people were sent to the palace or became the object of marriage. Since I came here, I must not let Qian'er have an accident, and I must let her live so happily all the time.
Since today is the time of the township test, there are a lot of people on the street, Ye Chen sent the coachman, and then took Zhang Qian to start shopping. In fact, Ye Chen did not go around in Hexian after crossing over.
"Brother, I want to eat sugar gourd." Zhang Qian pointed to a sugar gourd seller in front of her and said.
"Boss, we want this." After speaking, Ye Chen took the money and bought all the sugar gourds on the entire shelf.
"Thank you, uncle, thank you, uncle." The boss hurriedly put down the stall, took the money and left, for fear that Ye Chen would regret it.
Zhang Qian was surprised: "Brother, why are you buying so much, we can't finish eating." ”
Ye Chen said indifferently: "It's okay, are you happy, I'll show you if it's delicious." ”
"Look how cute that little girl is, just like a little princess."
"I think it's a little fairy."
Ye Chen and Zhang Qian walked on the street, and countless people were talking next to them. Today, Zhang Qian wore the first dress that Ye Chen bought for her, and the white dress was worn on her and danced with her, really like a little fairy in the mortal world. Although Ye Chen is also very delicate, but now standing next to Zhang Qian looks ordinary, the two of them played until it was almost dark, Ye Chen took Zhang Qian to the money shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was silent for a long time after seeing Zhang Qian, as if he had thought of his daughter, and only sighed after half a ring: "I'm sorry to lose my temper, no wonder Fang Xing will pester your sister, it is really a beautiful and beautiful country at such a young age, and when she grows up, she will definitely fall into the country and the city, but it's a pity that she is such a good girl." ”
Ye Chen shook his head and said firmly: "It's not a pity, as long as I'm here, no one can hurt Qian'er." ”
"Uncle, don't be sad, my brother will definitely protect me, and then catch that villain." Zhang Qian looked at the money shopkeeper who was a little sad and said angrily, I don't know why Zhang Qian has always felt that her brother is the most powerful, and she has always had inexplicable trust in Ye Chen.
"Alas, the Fang family's power is too strong in Hexian, you must not do stupid things. If you have the chance, get out of here as soon as possible, and if you want to take revenge, there will be time later. The shopkeeper didn't believe that Ye Chen could protect Zhang Qian here.
Ye Chen nodded: "Thank you, shopkeeper Qian, remind me to pay attention, it's not early, let's go back first." ”
After being reminded by the shopkeeper of the money, Ye Chen also prepared for the worst, the transportation and communication of the Water Moon Continent were far less advanced than those of the earth, and after Fang Xing was solved with his own skills and the silver ticket on his body now, it would be easy to take Qian'er out of here, but this was the next step. If it's just Ye Chen, with his ability, in this era when there are no weapons of mass destruction, it's a bit of a fool's dream to kill him, the key is to have Qian'er, Ye Chen doesn't want Zhang Qian to start fleeing with him at such a young age, and I heard that the Fang family is extremely powerful, and it is the right way to gain fame and slowly accumulate your own power, no matter what, Qian'er's happiness is the most important thing.
In the county office, Yang Zhixian and several invigilators from Linzhou had dinner together and discussed the problems of this township examination by the way. After thousands of years of imperial examinations, people have found that cheating in the imperial examinations is becoming more and more serious. Originally, the township examination could be completed by the prefect and the prefect, but now the governor of each prefecture personally sends someone to each county to invigilate the township examination, which is accompanied not only by civil officials but also by a military attaché. The two have equal rights, and they can be regarded as supervising each other.
The seven countries on the Water Moon Continent have new official reforms because of their large numbers. Among them, the prime minister is the largest, and there are two deputy ministers under the prime minister, and basically the three of them are responsible for deciding on major state affairs, and then the emperor agrees to disagree with it when approving it. The following are the six departments: the Ministry of Officials is in charge of the appointment and dismissal, examination, promotion, transfer, and awarding of civil officials across the country; The household department is in charge of the country's land, household registration, taxation, currency, officials' salaries, fiscal revenues and expenditures, and other affairs; The Ministry of Rites is in charge of the country's rules and regulations, rituals, schools, imperial examinations, and foreign affairs activities. The Ministry of War is in charge of the selection of military attachés and the affairs of military registration, ordnance, military orders, and post stations; The Criminal Department is in charge of the country's legal, criminal and prison affairs; The Ministry of Industry is in charge of various projects, craftsmen, tuntian, water conservancy, transportation and other government decrees. The chief of each ministry is called "Shangshu", and the deputy chief is called "Shilang". Due to the years of war and chaos, the military department did not accept anyone's control, and only obeyed the direct orders of the generalissimo and the emperor, and the officials of the military department were also recommended by themselves or appointed by the emperor himself. In addition, there is also a special procuratorate, which is also directly managed by the emperor himself, responsible for supervising and inspecting the situation of officials in various places, although the procuratorate does not have much real power, but after having the emperor's order, the suppression of various officials is not weaker than that of the prime minister. Further down are the governors, prefects, and prefects.
