Tang Huan and Yu'er were more concerned about buying a house than Zhou Yi, and they said that they had just arrived at Zhending Mansion on the morning of the second day, and they took Zhou Yi to Yahang with great interest.

The architectural style of the house in Zhending Mansion is completely different from the Sichuan region, as the saying goes, the little does not enter Shu, the old does not go out of Sichuan, Shu as a basin, seems to be self-contained, and the leisure and comfort inside are impressive. Because of this character, the people in the Sichuan area are more good at creating atmospheric Jiangnan courtyard buildings, with mountains and mountains, rockeries and strange stones, and a courtyard is a comfortable world.

Zhending Mansion is located in the north, which is colder and drier than the south, so most of the houses are thick, which can resist the cold wind, and there is less courtyard layout, and more work on the building itself.

Now Zhou Yi doesn't seem to be keen on money, although he has more and more money, perhaps because of the increase in wealth, his sensitivity to money has decreased a lot.

Zhou Yi's only requirement for the house is to be big, because now it's not just Zhou Yi who lives alone, Tang Huan and Yu'er don't mention the two women, and the more than 100 people led by Wang Er.

In fact, Zhou Yi's idea was to find a piece of land to build by himself, but he was afraid that others would say that he was a minor official and would build a large number of buildings as soon as he took office, so he could only give up.

After searching for a whole day, they found a fairly exquisite house, but it was not large, and it could not accommodate Wang Er and them at all - in fact, they couldn't find such a big house after searching for a day.

Everything about the house was arranged, and it was already two days after arriving at the Zhending Mansion. And Tang Huan actually went to buy twenty small servants to manage the newly bought mansion. These twenty people were all managed by Yu'er alone, which made Zhou Yi very puzzled, and asked Tang Huan why he didn't have a maid. Tang Huan said that it was not to distract Zhou Yi from work, and later learned from Yu'er that it was to make Zhou Yi break his thoughts about other women.

This suddenly made Zhou Yi feel that his life was dark. He even condemned himself for choosing to hang himself on this small pine tree when he had not seen the great forest in front of him.

Unexpectedly, under Tang Huan's weak appearance. There is such a dictatorial inner world hidden.

But now it's too late, and Zhou Yi feels that the great process of forming his harem seems to be postponed indefinitely.

On the morning of this day, he endured the grief of not being able to follow the eye-catching beautiful maid at home, put on his official uniform, took the paperwork, and came to the pacification division accompanied by Wang Er.

In fact, as early as yesterday, Zhou Yi had already received news that the pacification department here had been transferred, and he was waiting for him to take office, and there was no pacification envoy above. So at the same level, he became the supreme commander, responsible for managing the internal affairs of the army of Zhending Prefecture.

So in fact, the so-called report is just to go to the Yamen of the pacification department and get acquainted with the officials below him.

The pacification of the Yamen is much more magnificent than the county Yamen, the courtyard wall of the white wall and gray tiles has the height of two people, occupies a whole half of the street, the two stone carvings at the door appear mighty and domineering, and the gate inlaid with copper rivets is very heavy, all in all, everything here is contrary to the small and exquisite water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

In order to show his sincerity, Zhou Yi has made a special plan today. Only brought Wang Er alone, otherwise the more than 100 people came up together, and he was afraid that he would scare the other side.

But then he found that something was wrong, and when he arrived at the gate of the yamen, he found that there was no one. The door is closed, according to reason, there should always be two people at the door to watch the door, is it possible that everyone is on holiday today?

Zhou Yi looked at Wang Er. Wang Er took the initiative to step forward and slapped two punches at the confinement gate.

The gate didn't move. And there was no movement inside, Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart. He immediately guessed that this should be the disadvantage given to him by the employees here.

"The new official took office with three fires, hehe, it seems that this is the case everywhere, but I don't know where my first fire will burn." Zhou Yi began to think in his heart.

After knocking on the door for a while, Wang Er looked at Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi said, "Directly dismantle the door for me, whatever you want." ”

Wang Er was overjoyed, he liked this kind of thing the most, he held Fang Tian's halberd tightly with both hands, snorted, took a few steps back, and then quickly rushed up and inserted the Fang Tian's halberd in his hand into the crack in the door.

With a "click", the tip of the spear in front of Fang Tian's halberd was all inserted into the heavy door, and then pressed down, and the latch of the door was instantly cut off. Wang Er rushed forward, flew up with a kick, and directly kicked the door open, and then caught Fang Tian's halberd, and the whole action was done in one go.

"Hehe, it's done, young master, please come in."

Zhou Yi was quite satisfied with the combat effectiveness index shown by Wang Er, and he walked towards the yamen with his head held high.

Although it is much larger, the pattern is not much different from the county government of Qingshen County, except that there is no huge drum at the door.

Walking all the way from the outside, no one saw it, Wang Er looked quite angry, Zhou Yi knew the little abacus in their hearts, but he forced his anger in his heart, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Entering the lobby, Zhou Yi sat directly in the center without care, playing with a piece of paperweight in his hand, looked outside, and said with a smile: "The field of vision here is quite broad, no wonder so many people want to climb up, do you say that the higher you climb, the farther you can see?" But don't they know that the higher they climb, the more painful it will hurt to fall? ”

Wang Er didn't know what Zhou Yi was talking about at all, so he just suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Young Master, we are simply deceiving people too much, wait for me to find out what they are talking about." ”

Zhou Yi pointed to the empty lobby and said, "Isn't everyone here?" Say whatever you want. ”

"This ......," Wang Er suddenly knotted.

Zhou Yi said: "You go and find out all the list of officials and the collection and release of taxes and salaries here, and the speed should be fast." ”

Although he didn't understand what he was doing this for, Wang Er would not doubt and refute what Zhou Yi said, he immediately went to the backyard, room by room, and after half an hour, he came to Zhou Yi with a stack of books in his arms.

"Young master, all the account books related to the distribution of personnel salaries are all here, hehe, several account books are very hidden, and it took my old nose to find them." Wang Er was very proud of his abilities, for example, one was found in the mezzanine of the floor, and one appeared in the wall of the thatched house.

It seems that the harvest is not bad, Zhou Yi said with satisfaction: "Very good, come on, come on, show me." ”

First of all, there is the official list, there is already dust on a thin booklet, presumably there has been no personnel transfer here for a long time, except for the transfer of the previous pacification envoy and his own appointment, and this is obviously too late to be written.

There are more than 30 people in total, who are responsible for the payment of salaries and pensions for all the soldiers in Zhending Prefecture, as well as the transportation and equipping of weapons. Zhou Yi asked Wang Er to polish the ink, copied all the official tables, and wrote in the transfer of his own office, in duplicate, and the original was directly and unceremoniously burned.

There are a total of thirteen account books, some of which are densely filled with various data, some are handwritten on a few pages, and one is only halfway written, Zhou Yi looked at the date, it was a few days ago.

"It's good, let's go back." Zhou Yi looked at the sky and said that it was not early.

It took a few hours to transcribe the list of officials, and I had just taken a cursory look at the ledgers, and now that it was noon, it was time to go back to dinner.

"What about these things?"

"Take it back."

So Wang Er took these account books, and Zhou Yi hid the information of the officials on himself, and the two walked towards the yamen.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the yamen, a group of people appeared from the corner of the street and quickly walked into the yamen.

A skinny man with a pointed chin and a goatee asked, "What the hell did this kid do?" ”

Then he saw the ashes on the ground that had not yet dispersed, and asked, "What did he burn?" ”

A few people went inside to look inside, and finally found that all the account books were gone, so they hurriedly came over to the thin man and said, "Lord Tang, all the account books here have been taken away by him." ”

The name of this Lord Tang is Tang Wuyi, and he is the Cao Peng official in charge of local affairs in the pacification department, and he is the official in charge of the army, and his status is second only to the official affairs of the pacification department, that is, Zhou Yi.

After listening to the report of the people below, Tang Wuyi was suddenly surprised, and said, "Are all the ones we hid gone?" ”

"yes, he took everything, and I don't know how he found it. Lord Tang, what should we do now? ”

Tang Wuyi was just a little panicked, then regained his composure, smiled slightly, and said: "Don't worry, all the accounts here are made by me, I think I was also the first person in the Ming Arithmetic Department back then, what can he see as a person who has entered the Shike Department?" Everyone should be calm, but don't let him see any flaws. ”

Then he looked at the ashes on the ground and said, "What did he burn on the ground?" Is it possible to burn all the ledgers? This is a felony! ”

The man who spoke just now was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Lord Tang, he actually did such a big rebellious thing, why don't we join him?" ”

"Slow, he shouldn't do such a stupid thing, you hurry up and find it for me, so many account books, burned to ashes just a little bit, who will be affected."

After looking around and turning this place upside down, someone finally found out that the official booklet was lost. Tang Wuyi pondered: "What does he mean by burning this official booklet for me?" (To be continued......)
