Chapter Ninety-Six: Idle Officials Are Busy (I)

"Chen Fei, you are the local parent official here, and you can be regarded as half a master, how about you take me around to see around?" Princess Wanchun said.

Princess Wanchun hoped that Chen Fei could take her to take a look around, as for the scenery, it was secondary, after all, there was not much scenery to see here. But the point is that she asked Chen Fei to take her to see, and the important thing is the person who took her to see the scenery. Why did Princess Wanchun come to Shuo County to take care of this Li Lizhen, is it because she is her aunt? This is obviously impossible, and the point is that Chen Fei is the county magistrate in Shuo County. If it weren't for Chen Fei being the county magistrate in Shuo County, Princess Wanchun would not have come to "take care" of her niece.

"Princess, I'm a little busy today, I'm afraid I don't have time!" Chen Fei said.

And when Princess Wanchun heard this, her face collapsed, Chen Fei actually didn't give herself face. Originally, his princess invited him to play, which was obvious enough, but Chen Fei was still so ignorant, which made Princess Wanchun a little angry.

"Princess, you see that I am busy with my official duties during this time, and I will definitely go to play with you. All right? Chen Fei asked.

Princess Wanchun snorted in a low voice: "Bastard who doesn't understand the amorous feelings! ”

Princess Wanchun left immediately, and Yang Jiaxiang, the secretary of the office next to her, immediately asked curiously: "Chen County Order, now that our Shuo County is in a period of slack, there is no need to organize the people to farm. There haven't been any cases recently, so it's still very quiet. Why don't you accompany the princess to play, if you can please the princess, then Chen County's future is extraordinary? Moreover, the most important reason is that there will be no delay in official business, after all, there is no official business to deal with recently, and it is very leisurely. Isn't it ...... that you have given up the opportunity to accompany the princess in order to deal with such trivial official duties."

Yang Jiaxiang didn't say the latter word, obviously isn't this a fool? As long as the princess can be pleased, then maybe the princess will go back and say a few good words to the emperor, won't it be much better for her future? Why do many officials like to curry favor with the relatives of their superiors since ancient times, and don't they want these people to help them say a few kind words in front of their superiors? But now Chen Fei actually gave up the opportunity to accompany Princess Wanchun in order not to be nervous about official business, isn't this just a sacrifice for the near and far? If it weren't for Chen Fei is county order, then I am afraid that he would have been scolded by Yang Jiaxiang a bloody dog, and don't waste the opportunity so much!

"Didn't you say it's quiet now? You go and bring me all the official business for the next month! I've been working overtime for the last few days! Chen Fei said.

"Overtime?" Yang Jiaxiang didn't know what it meant.

Soon, Yang Jiaxiang brought the official business to be handled for a whole month. And in order to make up the official business to be handled in a month, this Yang Jiaxiang also deliberately instructed the scribes below to find out some things if they have nothing to do. In other words, he deliberately wanted to increase the workload for Chen Fei, the county order, and he didn't need Chen Fei to deal with it, so he handed over the matter to Chen Fei. Everyone couldn't figure out what Chen Fei was thinking, but he was a county magistrate, and he just had to deal with it.

"Alright, it's also close to dusk, you guys go to work!" Chen Fei said.

But Yang Jiaxiang immediately said: "Chen County Order, if you don't get off work, how dare we go back!" ”

"Let you go back as soon as possible, don't talk so much nonsense! I'm staying on business! Chen Fei said.

"This ......"

These scribes all felt that Chen Fei's brain was pumping, and they actually took the initiative to find death for themselves, and took the initiative to increase their workload. Recently, it was obviously the most idle time, but Chen Fei was still so busy, and everyone didn't understand what this meant. Since ancient times, haven't everyone liked to be idle and high-paying positions? But Chen Fei not only didn't want to be idle, but increased his workload, which made everyone puzzled. But if you can't figure it out, you don't want to, since Chen County has also left work for himself, then they also take the initiative to get off work, so they don't have to stay here to accompany Chen Fei.

"It's three watches!"

The day passed quickly, and it was the third watch in the evening. At this time, it is about 11 o'clock in the evening of the later generations, and this time is also a long time for the ancients to rest. Even in later generations, there are not many people who are still working at this time. However, the second hall of the Shuoxian County Government is still lit, and it is obvious that there are still people working.

Chen Fei gave instructions on all the documents, and these documents are all plans for the next month, and now they have to be completed in a few days. But in fact, these documents don't need so much, it's just that Chen Fei deliberately condensed them into a few days to deal with them, so Chen Fei seemed very busy. However, Chen Fei also has his own ideas when he does this.

"Chen Fei, why are you still doing things? Let's get some rest! Princess Wanchun said.

Princess Wanchun saw that Chen Fei was so "hard", so she was also a little heartbroken, and took the initiative to persuade Chen Fei to take a break. After all, Princess Wanchun also regarded Chen Fei as one of her closest people, so of course she couldn't bear to watch Chen Fei suffer so much. I also persuaded Chen Fei and let him take a good rest.

"Princess, I have a busy schedule, and I have to deal with it as much as I can. Since ancient times, those who have been officials have to be diligent in government, and if they are not diligent in government, I am afraid that the people will also suffer. Chen Fei said.

"Hmph, just thinking about your official position, do you have anything else in your eyes?" Princess Wanchun asked unhappily.

And Chen Fei said helplessly in his heart: "If I don't make my official hat bigger, then how can I talk to you at that time!" ”

Of course Chen Fei knows that although Princess Wanchun has the right to choose her husband, if her husband's status is too low, she will have no face! So of course Chen Fei has to find a way to get promoted as soon as possible, so that he can talk to her, and then he can have the opportunity to marry her.

Chen Fei, an official from the imperial examination, is already one step behind the officials of those big families. Many of those officials from big families nominally entered the officialdom at the age of ten, and at the age of sixteen or seventeen, they were already able to become sixth- and seventh-grade officials, and at the age of twenty or so, they became five-rank. And those officials of the big families can also be promoted first, so the advantage is not just a little bit. Chen Fei checked the information, in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, there were actually many officials of big families who monopolized the officialdom, and it was a little difficult to be an official from a poor family!

What's more, it's even more difficult to marry a princess. So Chen Fei doesn't use some means, so how can he have a chance? Therefore, Chen Fei is now using the means of the later Manchu Dynasty and adults.
