On the first night in the county seat, Su Hao and Lu Xiuer slept very soundly, mainly because they were too tired during the day. Although there were only two of them living in a big mansion, Su Hao didn't think about doing something inappropriate for children, after all, both of them were indeed children.

The next morning, Lu Xiuer got up early, made breakfast, and then woke up Su Hao to wash up and eat. After breakfast, Su Hao went to the county government to order something, while Lu Xiuer scrubbed and washed at home. With such a big house, cleaning alone is a big project.

Su Hao came to the gate of the county ya, and the officials who guarded the door had already heard about him, and after asking his name, they greeted him one after another: "Master Su, it's early." ”

"Good morning, brothers!" Su Hao waved his hand, quite a bit of a leader.

"Master will need help with something in a while, just come to pass on the little people." The head of the servant's squad seemed to say something casually.

"What's the matter?" Su Hao looked at the team leader in surprise, but the team leader just smiled mysteriously and didn't say anything.

Su Hao couldn't figure out what would be in the county office, so he walked into the county government with a heart that would not change. He first came to the lobby to take a look, and saw that the magistrate had not yet been promoted, and only a few officials were there to wipe the tables and chairs. Su Hao asked where the workshop was, and went straight to the workshop. As the master in charge of the workshop, that is his serious office.

"Who are you looking for?"

When Su Hao walked into the workshop, he saw seven or eight servants sitting inside, chatting about something. Seeing Su Hao come in, one of the officials led by him interrogated angrily.

"I'm not looking for anyone." Su Hao smiled faintly and replied.

"What are you doing in the workshop without looking for someone?" The officer continued.

Su Hao said: "I, Su Hao, am favored by the Lord of Mengzhi County, and I am hired as the master of the workshop, in charge of the affairs of the workshop, which one is Dai Qi, the scrivener of the workshop?" ”

In fact, Su Hao didn't need to ask to know that the clerk who interrogated him just now was Dai Qi, because there was only one scribe in the workshop, and the others were miscellaneous officials. Su Hao had already agreed with Fang Mengjin on the first day that he was scheduled to discuss the matter of digging a well in the workshop this morning, even if Dai Qi didn't see Su Hao yesterday, if he met today, he should be able to guess how much. He pretended to be ignorant and interrogated Su Hao, and the hostility revealed in it, if Su Hao couldn't feel it, it would really be stupid to read.

"I'm Dyche." The official responded, but he didn't mean to stand up and salute Su Hao, but frowned and said, "You are Master Su Hao?" I don't look like it. Did Master look like you? ”

Seeing that Dai Qi began to make trouble, the other officials also coaxed:

"That's right, Xiao Xiucai, didn't you hear that there was a new Master Su, so you came to fake it, right?"

"Xiucai, you don't have a beard, so you dare to pretend to be a master?"

"That's right, how can it be a child's turn to call the shots in this workshop."

“……”

Everyone was talking together, squeezing their eyebrows and making various noises from the tables and chairs at the same time, which was obviously to see Su Hao's jokes.

Dai Qi heard Fang Mengjin inform him yesterday that a new master in charge of the workshop had arrived, and he was anxious at that time. Of course, he didn't dare to make a fuss to Fang Mengjin, and in front of Fang Mengjin, he repeatedly said that he would definitely obey the leadership of the new master and do a good job in the current well-digging matter. However, after returning to the workshop, the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and scolded Su Hao, who he had never met, in his heart.

As Fang Mengjin said to Su Hao before, the workshop is the department in charge of the county's large and small projects, and it handles a lot of money and food. As a scrivener in the workshop, Dai Qi was able to get 100 taels of silver from the project every year, and his small life was very nourishing.

The affairs of the workshop have some professional characteristics, and Han Wen and Fang Mengjin are not too familiar with this, so they don't dare to be too strict about the affairs of the workshop, and they turn a blind eye to Dai Qi's behavior. In this way, the workshop became Dyche's personal world. Such an independent kingdom that can make money and no one cares about it, suddenly parachuted a master, how disgusting and disgusting this kind of thing is, how can Dai Qi tolerate it.

So, he gathered his servants and prepared to give Su Hao a dismount. With Dai Qi's idea, the best result is to be able to make Su Hao cry or scared to cry, and let him run to Xiang Zhixian to resign, so that Dai Qi's vested interests in the workshop will not be damaged. Even if this result is not achieved, he must at least let Su Hao understand that the workshop is not a good place to talk, and don't try to interfere too much in the affairs of the workshop.

One of the reasons why Dai Qi dared to do this was that Fang Mengjin once told him that Su Hao's age was only 17 years old, and he was a talented man from the countryside, and his family background was quite ordinary. In Dai Qi's view, such a young talent with no background can never be compared with a veteran officialdom like him, and in the face of everyone's united resistance, Su Hao has no choice but to raise his hand and surrender.

It's a pity that Dai Qi's wishful thinking interrupted the place, and the Su Hao in front of him was no longer the original poor Xiucai, but a traverser who had experienced countless ups and downs. Watching the performance of Dai Qi and others, Su Hao crossed his hands on his chest and smiled slightly.

"Xiucai, what are you laughing at?"

A servant named Wu Da finally couldn't help it and asked Su Hao. Dai Qi and the other officials were also confused by Su Hao's calm expression, and the coaxing voice gradually became quieter, and everyone looked at Su Hao together, wondering how he would respond.

"Are you tired?" Su Hao said in a tone of hatred that iron is not made of steel, "Seven or eight big men, dare not do it, pretend to be stupid, just to deal with a powerless talent like me, don't you feel ashamed?" ”

"Xiucai, what do you say, what is pretending to be stupid, who is pretending to be stupid." Dyche quibbled. This kind of coaxing and raising seedlings, the most feared thing is that the opponent doesn't care, they make such a fierce scene, in Su Hao's eyes, they are just like monkeys, and everyone's faces are really a little unbearable.

"Don't make a fuss!" Su Hao simply interrupted Dai Qi's words, he walked up to Dai Qi, pointed to the seat under Dai Qi's buttocks, and said, "Get up, this is my seat." ”

Although Dai Qi had contempt for Su Hao, he still had some scruples about such a position as a master, otherwise he would not have found all his servants to fight together. Now seeing Su Hao's breezy face, Dai Qi felt a kind of pressure for no reason, he couldn't help but stand up, and when he felt his gaffe, it was too late to sit down.

Su Hao sat on the main seat of the workshop, looked at Dai Qi and the officials, and said lightly: "A group of foolish worms, they still play with this kind of mind when they are dying." I have come to save you, don't you know? ”

“…… Master Su, what do you mean by this? Wu Da, who spoke before, asked timidly, he was the most uncontrollable of all the officials, Su Hao was so pretentious in order to break the fighting spirit of a timid official like Wu Da.

Su Hao asked, "As a scribe and official of the workshop, do you know what is the most important thing in the province at the moment?" ”

"Dig a well!" Several officials replied at the same time, and it was too late for Dai Qi to stop it, so he could only watch the whole scene being guided by Su Hao.

"That's right, it's a well." Su Hao praised, "Drilling wells to fight drought is not only the will of the county magistrate, but also the will of the prefect, the political envoy and the governor, which is the basic plan of the province." The whole province is proud of being able to drill wells, and is ashamed of digging waste wells; Be proud of what you do to be conducive to well drilling, and be ashamed of hindering the cause of well drilling; We are proud to be an advanced individual in well drilling, and we are ashamed to be a failure in well drilling. Have you heard of all of this? ”

As soon as this argument of three honors and three shames was thrown out, all the people shook their heads desperately, saying that they had never heard of it, even the Korean language of the county had never heard of such a statement.

What Su Hao wants is this effect, telling others some policy-level things that he has never heard of, so that others can feel that they are people with backgrounds, thus generating an inexplicable sense of awe. Now the situation in the workshop is like this, a group of officials have been completely shocked by Su Hao's words, and they thought that Su Hao was with the governor the night before.

"So far, the county's success in drilling wells is an average of one out of every four wells, with a success rate of 25 percent. This achievement is at the middle and lower reaches of the province. Maybe everyone will think that the middle and lower reaches are not the last ...... after all" Speaking of this, Su Hao slapped the table and said loudly: "But! ”

All the people's eyes widened, waiting to hear Su Hao's next words.
