Chapter 68: A New Official Takes Office
Li You knocked on the door, and it didn't take long for Xiaozhu to open the door, exclaiming, "It's been a long time, master!" ”
"Just three days? How did it take a long time? Li You said as he entered.
"The ancients said that if you don't see each other for a day, you will be like three years apart." Xiaozhu closed the door and said seriously.
Li Youqi said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and Xiaozhu has also learned to drop her schoolbag, but it should be like disappearing every three autumns." ”
"Sister Jin taught, the slave family thinks this sentence is very thoughtful, but Sister Jin said that she used this sentence appropriately, but the slave family was not suitable. Do you know why? Xiaozhu's eyes widened and she looked forward to the master's enthusiastic answer.
Master Li You kindly touched the little girl's head and said, "You'll understand when you grow up." ”
When Jin Bao'er heard Li You's voice, she also came out and said, "Congratulations, master." ”
Li You teased: "Marrying a wooden lady, how can it be interesting to have Aunt Jin." ”
Jin Bao'er lightly slapped Li You and said, "The master will make fun of people, but now it is not as good as in the past, and it is amazing for others to hear it." ”
Li You went into the house to gossip with the second daughter, had lunch here, and was about to leave. Jin Baoer suddenly talked about Sister Li Mei: "Yesterday, Sister Li came to visit..."
"Scolding me?" Li You said very bluntly.
Jin Bao'er said cautiously: "I have some complaints about the master." ”
"What did you say?"
"Say, sir, you are no longer as pure and sincere as you were at the beginning. Now he is indulging his own family and pestering the women of good families, and at the same time pretending to be stupid in front of him..."
It seems that Sister Li Mei also got the news of his marriage, Li You said: "If she comes again, she will ask her to endure it for a few more days!" ”
Jin Bao'er covered her mouth and smiled: "She can't bear it anymore." ”
"Could it be that she's moving out?"
Xiaozhu interjected: "She said that the master doesn't care anymore, she will claim to that door that she is your lover!" It is estimated that the door will not dare to entangle. ”
It doesn't matter, Li You thought, it's best to let the old man know that there is a son-in-law's lover next door to the new house. said goodbye to the concubine and went to Liu's mansion again, and took his wife home without mentioning it.
Li You's upcoming West Water Inspection Department is located on a high ground at the intersection of Taihu Lake and Xuhe River. The entire inspection department has 150 rated soldiers, 13 sentinel boats, and one ship. In addition, there were four scribes, six men, a number of miscellaneous cooks, and the soldiers were armed with bows and arrows, spears, and short knives. It can be said to be the most powerful violent organization (whether legal or illegal) from the surface of Taihu Lake and the coast to the county seat of Xujiang.
The responsibilities of the Inspection Division are also very simple, otherwise how dare Inspector Liu throw the Xishui Inspection Division to Li You casually. In short, arresting thieves, arresting fugitives, arresting fugitives, and seizing smugglers are all ordinary public security affairs, and they are not responsible for complex local government affairs, and even cases can only be examined but not adjudicated. If you have to make an analogy, it is the standing militia company plus the police station.
In the early years of the dynasty, the principle of the assessment of the inspection department can be summed up in four words -- nothing can be done. It sounds very happy and beautiful, as long as it's okay, it's the most qualified. Later, Emperor Taizu probably felt that this was not true, so he set the assessment standards of 30 people, 100 people, and 200 people.
The words are far away, but it is said that the deputy inspector of the West Water Inspection Department is temporarily acting Master Li Youli of the West Water Inspection Department, he ignored the newlywed Yan'er and was diligent in official work, and resolutely came to take office on the fourth day after marriage. If there is a competition, an advanced worker will not be able to run. However, marrying a wife who is not much different from a pillow must not be a newlywed Yan'er fish and water.
The process of taking office was unremarkable, and his father-in-law, Inspector Liu, first called the people in the official office and more than a dozen teams that had stopped patrolling today to show Li You, and then Inspector Liu handed over the judgment hall and the signing room to Li You, and then went home leisurely to retire.
Li You reluctantly sent his father-in-law out, and looked at the back of the old inspector who disappeared into the river. Because there was a square item engraved with the six big characters of "Xishui Inspection Division" still in his old man's arms, his father-in-law took it away, which made Li You reluctant.
However, when he returned to the signing room, Li You, who was sitting on the inspection chair, could no longer restrain his agitated mood, and a burst of smug laughter suddenly broke out in his throat.
Even if the subordinates in the official office heard it, who would dare to say half a word?
After being suppressed for so long and being driven by others for so long, Li You finally has an acre and a third of land that he can be the master of. No matter how high the sky is outside, at least in this Xishui Town, in the past ten years, no one can care about him anymore (ignoring his father for the time being).
After laughing, Li You quickly stepped into the role, and he called the scribe and the team in turn to talk. These people are all very respectful and respectful. There is no brain-dead person who dares to throw his face and shout at the protagonist, nor does he snort coldly and wait for the protagonist to discover.
Inspector Li, who took office as a new official, was faintly disappointed, and the law of online novels became invalid again. In this place, where Liu has been inspecting and operating for more than ten years, and there is no outsider who can interfere, how can there be any subordinates who dare to work against his son-in-law.
How to do this official, Li You has thought a lot about it in the past few days, and he has also communicated with his old father-in-law, and he has gradually become a little lazy. In order to achieve the goal of making officials bigger and stronger in an easy and trouble-free way, at least to keep their positions is nothing more than two aspects, one is the official reputation and the other is the reputation.
The official voice is to be strict, don't think it's a derogatory term. Li You is not like an official like the magistrate, and sometimes he may need a reputation for loving the people like a son. On the contrary, as a sheriff, he is harsh and harsh, and in the officialdom of this era, there is often a reputation for being competent and daring. There is a big market for the saying that you are afraid of power, as long as you pay attention to the size and don't abuse the people too much and cause a civil uprising
Fame is to continue to plagiarize poetry and become famous, with a big fame, there will naturally be great benefits, Li You has always believed in this, is there a higher way than this surname? Can he sit in this position without reputation? But it may be more difficult to continue to be famous than in the county seat, after all, Xishui Town is one level lower than the county seat, and it is necessary to consider it carefully.
At this time, a doorman held a famous thorn and said: "The ambassador of the West Water Tax Bureau is visiting. ”
Li You took the name and glanced at it, knowing that the ambassador's surname was Zhang Ming Shiying, so he hurriedly greeted the gate.
This Xishui town is a traffic point and a place where goods from all directions converge, and the county will set this place as a bazaar, which is considered a bulk goods distribution center. In addition, a tax bureau was set up to collect commercial tax, and all goods entering the market and trading must be taxed.
The chief official of the Taxation Bureau is the ambassador, and he is the same as the inspection of the Xishui Inspection Division, and he is also the only official with a grade in this Xishui town except for the inspection. He took the initiative to visit, Li You couldn't be rude, so he naturally had to go out to greet him.
Master Zhang is over forty years old, with a sparse and handsome appearance, and he was originally a talented person, so he chose Gong to serve as this nine-grade miscellaneous position. When he saw Li You, he arched his hand and said: "I came to visit in disrespect, and Lord Lao Li came out to greet him." ”
Originally, Li You didn't deserve the title of Lord at this time, but everyone knew that he was sure to succeed to the throne, and it was not an exaggeration to call Lord Li in advance.
Li You also said a few polite words, please come in for tea and talk, the two of them have a quasi-nine-rank martial arts position, and a nine-rank miscellaneous position, and their status is really quite can't be more comparable, and after a while, the two of them will be familiar with each other as brothers.
I only heard Zhang Shiying and Zhang Dadao: "In the future, I will be an official in the same town, and I will be close and walk around, and I will set up a banquet tonight to invite the virtuous brother to appreciate the light." ”
Li You agreed to come down.

The update has been slow in the past few days, mainly because I am struggling with whether this book is based on the protagonist as a person or doing things as the context, and I thought about it for a weekend, and decided to take the leisurely path of all kinds of people who are relaxed and slow.
