Chen Fei returned to the county office, and the sky was also entering dusk, so he didn't do much. Chen Fei asked the county clerk to inform everyone that at the next o'clock in the morning, that is, at nine o'clock in the morning, everyone in the entire yamen, from the county chief secretary and the county lieutenant, to the clerk in the sixth room, would come to the county hall for a meeting. Furthermore, I cannot be late. After Chen Fei finished speaking, he also returned to the back hall of the county government to rest, after all, the magistrate also has the benefits of the magistrate, that is, he can have a residence in the official mansion without having to buy real estate by himself.

The next day, Chen Fei got up very punctually, because he got up at six o'clock in the morning in the barracks. Chen Fei took the initiative to go to the county seat for a morning run to familiarize himself with the environment in the city. After that, I returned to the county office at about six o'clock in the morning, about half past eight in the morning.

"Hmph, no one came?" Chen Fei looked at this situation and was not very satisfied in his heart.

Chen Fei finally got a certain understanding of these bureaucrats, who were so lazy that they didn't get up to work at half past eight in the morning. You must know that Chen Fei just said that he would come to the meeting at the right moment, but it doesn't mean that it will be there at the right time. However, according to common sense, it should have arrived some time earlier, which is also a sign of respect for the boss. But now that Chen Fei has arrived, none of their subordinates have arrived, which obviously does not give Chen Fei face.

"Oh, Xianzun, why did you get up so early?" A scribe asked.

And Chen Fei saw this scribe, that is, the first scribe he saw when he first came to take over yesterday.

"What's your name?" Chen Fei asked.

The scribe immediately replied: "County Zun, my name is Yang Jiaxiang, and I am the secretary of our Shuo County's office!" ”

The local officials of the Tang Dynasty actually corresponded to the central government. There are six departments in the center, and there are also six rooms in the county seat, but these six rooms are not in the official establishment of the imperial court, they are all ordinary scribes, not officials. However, scribes also have some opportunities to become officials, but the probability is very low. At the state level, there are also various Cao, and each Cao joining the army belongs to the regular establishment of the imperial court. Now this scrivener Yang Jiaxiang, that is, the secretary of Shuo County, is the number one person in charge of personnel.

And this Yang Jiaxiang saw this situation, and immediately became very good at sycophancy, he took the initiative to go outside to buy some fruits, and some snacks, and then put them in the lobby. And Chen Fei looked at these fruits and snacks, but smiled and didn't show too much expression. And that Yang Jiaxiang really thought that Chen Fei was very satisfied, so he immediately became proud in his heart. Soon, a large table of snacks and fruits was placed here, waiting for everyone to come over for a meeting and enjoy it together.

"Yang Jiaxiang, what time is it?" Chen Fei asked.

Yang Jiaxiang immediately looked at the sun outside and said, "It's time now." ”

"Didn't I say that? Meetings are held at all times, and lateness is not allowed. Why are you alone now? Chen Fei asked.

"This ...... The county honor, the previous Niu County Decree was not too strict with us, so many people were idle. So everyone is used to it, please forgive me! Yang Jiaxiang said.

Chen Fei didn't speak, just continued to wait. But after waiting for a while, someone did come. However, those people were ordinary scribes, and the county magistrate did not come. And the time soon came to eight o'clock, which was probably less than fifteen minutes before noon. It was about 10:45 a.m., but it wasn't there yet.

"Chen County Order, I am Zhang Mingde, a native of Shuo County, and I have served here for more than ten years." Zhang Mingde said.

This county Cheng looks like he is only about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, but he has also been a government worker in Shuo County for ten years, and he is still prosperous in official luck. As an ordinary scribe, it is already very smooth to be able to become a county clerk within ten years. And this guy is his deputy, the one who will assist him in his work in the future.

"Chen County Order, I am Sun Jiadong, the county master."

Sun Jiadong is a person in his thirties, and he seems to have made average progress in his career, not very good.

"I'm the county lieutenant Equation West!"

Equation West is about twenty-three or four-year-old, which is not bad. Being able to become an official at this age is quite promising. After all, they are not descendants of high-ranking officials, and they don't participate in the imperial examination like Chen Fei, so they started by being scribes, which is good.

"Zhang Mingde County, how many people are there in our Shuo County from inflow officials to ordinary scribes?" Chen Fei asked.

Zhang Mingde looked at it and said, "From the county order to you, to the ordinary scribes, there are a total of forty-eight people. ”

"How many people are there now? I asked for a meeting at one hour, but it's eight o'clock now, and no one is there. Chen Fei asked.

"Now there are thirty-eight people, and there are still ten people who have not arrived!" Zhang Mingde said with some hesitation.

Chen Fei said coldly: "A quarter of an hour for a meeting, but eight quarters of an hour has not arrived, what is your work attitude?" A table of fruits, half a table of snacks, can you know the suffering of the people? ”

After Chen Fei finished these two sentences, he immediately left the county hall, obviously this meeting was not necessary. And everyone is still reminiscing about Chen Fei's two sentences just now, as if the battle is very neat and charming. But after thinking about it carefully, it was obvious that Chen Fei was angry. The county order called everyone to a meeting, but you were all late, and you didn't even arrive two hours late, aren't you dead?

"Oops, the county is going to be a new official with three fires!" Yang Jiaxiang said suddenly.

That's right, Chen Fei is also going to stand up. As a newly appointed official, Chen Fei must first do a few things that seem to be beneficial to the country and the people to establish his prestige, and then he can really start to take power. Now Chen Fei's first thing is to grasp discipline. These bureaucrats, under the leadership of the Niu County Order in the past, were lazy and lazy, and they simply did not look like this. Therefore, the first thing Chen Fei did, that is, the first fire in office, was to grasp discipline and everyone's work style, so that everyone could feel intimidated. If you can't feel intimidated, then I am afraid that the next work will be difficult to carry out. After all, Chen Fei wants to do a big job, if there is a group of lazy people as his subordinates, then Chen Fei doesn't have to work at all, and he is directly busy with the internal struggle.
