Wanping County is 50 miles in radius, and its jurisdiction is mainly the western half of the capital, as well as the surrounding suburbs outside the city wall, mainly the Xishan area outside Fuchengmen and Xizhimen, and the southern suburbs of Shanchuantan (Xiannongtan).

Today, there are about 20,000 households registered in Wanping County, and the theoretical number is less than 200,000, and the actual number is a little less. It seems that it is very incommensurate with the capital, how can one of the two Beijing divisions attached to Guo County have only such a few people?

But don't forget that the proportion of the population in the capital is not the same as in other places. Because the Son of Heaven was on the border, the proportion of military households in Beijing was very high, and the number of officials' families and eunuchs in addition to them was also tens of thousands, which were not included in the households of Wanping County.

This is where Fang Yingwu will take office. Wanping County is located in the north of the capital, roughly located outside the north wall of the imperial city, next to Shichahai in the east, and about ten miles away from the Fang family's house.

If he is out of town, the new magistrate will stay at a post station outside the city on the day before the auspicious day of the zodiac. On the day of taking office, the honor guard went out of the city with a designated number of sedan chairs to greet them, and there were local celebrities at the main gate of the county seat as the second wave of greeting procession, and at the gate of the county government there was a third wave of greeting procession.

The whole inauguration ceremony was extremely lively and grand, and in addition to showing the dignity of the parents of a county, this kind of pomp and circumstance probably also had the meaning of announcing the arrival of Xinzhi County to the people of the city.

But in the capital, Wanping's new magistrate should be the county magistrate of the matter, and the county wants this pomp? Don't even think about it.

Overnight outside the city and out of the city to greet you? He Yingwu had a brain disease, so he would deliberately go out of the city to toss. Local celebrities greet you at the main gate of the county? There are princes and magistrates in the capital, so let these people greet the magistrate at the city gate?

And also. The main gate of the "county seat" of Wanping County should theoretically be Zhengyangmen, but this is a symbol of the country. Unless it is used by the Son of Heaven, it is not usually opened. What kind of courage did he have to use Zhengyangmen as the place of his inauguration ceremony?

Therefore, Fang Xianzun's appointment can only be simplified, but compared to the situation where ordinary Beijing officials go to the yamen to report alone, the pomp is still much stronger.

The sky was just dawning, and there was already a team of twenty or thirty people, waiting in the alley outside the gate of Fang's house.

This team is naturally composed of miscellaneous servants from Wanping County, holding signs, copper sticks and other things. Most of the utensils are cleaned old goods, and only three pairs of tall cards are newly made at Lou Tianhua's instructions.

The first pair has "Su Jing" and "Su Jing" written on it, the second pair has "Ci Jinshi Origin" and "Wanping County Main Hall" written on it, and the third pair has "Xiangkui" and "Huiyuan" written on it.

This goblot card is equivalent to a public business card displayed by a local parent official. As much as possible, you should write your own identity and glorious history into it.

For example, in these tall cards, the origin of the Jinshi indicates the final results of Fang Yingwu's second-class Jinshi, the township leader shows that Fang Yingwu is one of the five leaders of the township test in this province, and Huiyuan indicates that Fang Yingwu is the first in the examination, all of which are part of the glorious history of Fang Yingwu.

But he said that this greeting team was waiting outside the gate of the Fang family, although there was no loud noise, but there were a lot of whispers in each other's ears.

Not long after, the door of the Fang family opened, and a young and handsome official walked out of it. He wore a black gauze hat on his head and a cyan official robe.

Several leaders of the officials from Wanping County suddenly stopped talking, rushed up, and knelt on the ground at the bottom of the steps. said loudly: "Respectfully invite the eldest master to get on the sedan chair!" ”

Then the rest of the officials also knelt down in the alley with the leader in front of them, and repeated in a loud voice: "Respectfully invite the eldest master to get on the sedan chair!" ”

The young official looked at everyone in astonishment, and said with a dull face: "You have recognized the wrong person!" ”

One of the leading leaders looked up and looked closely. He said in surprise: "The eldest master said that he laughed, this place is obviously the Fang Mansion." How can a small one be wrong when he comes to recognize the place? ”

At this moment, a younger head suddenly stretched out from behind the young official. It's also a black gauze hat on his head, and he looks even more incredible. He said viciously to the officials who were kneeling on the ground: "You just recognize the wrong person!" ”

Then, Mr. Lou Tianhua, who was already known to many officials, jumped out of the gate in a panic, "This is the old lady Fang Daren Fang in front!" The latter one is the county honor! ”

All the officials in Wanping County have a feeling of dizziness at the moment, they know that Xinzhi County is a young official, just now they saw that the old man who came out first was wearing a cyan official robe, and his appearance was quite young, so they recognized it as the county honor, but it turned out to be the county lord's father, or the lord of Hanlin.

The real body of the county that came out of the back is younger, is this family all Wenqu stars descending to earth? If you want to blame, blame the sixth-grade and seventh-grade official robes for the same reason, and it's really hard to tell when you suddenly see one.

This little episode didn't affect anything too much, Fang Qingzhi walked away, and Fang Yingwu stood on the porch to formally accept the visit of his subordinates. Twenty or thirty people knelt down together again and said loudly: "Respectfully invite the eldest master to get into the sedan chair!" ”

The shouting echoed in the alley, causing Fang Yingwu's heart to shake a few times. He turned his head to Lou Tianhua and said, "I only know today, why the parents of the main hall are arrogant and arrogant, and they should be taken as a warning!" ”

After that, Fang Zhixian asked his subordinates to get up, and then went down the steps to get on the sedan chair. He raised his eyes and saw the six-sided tall cards played in two columns in front of the sedan chair, and then looked at the large font on it, and felt that it was really eye-catching, so he asked Lou Tianhua: "Isn't this a bit too much?" ”

Lou Tianhua hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It's not too much, it's not too much!" It's not a fictitious name, so why not? It is to show the people of the county your deeds and the so-called edification of people's hearts. ”

Then Lou Tianhua sighed and said with envy: "Having said that, these travel instrument cards of the proprietor are definitely the number one among the local parents and officials of the Ming Dynasty, and there is probably no one else in the world." ”

Fang Yingwu was puzzled: "What is the number one, what does this mean?" ”

Lou Tianhua explained with honor: "In the prefectures and counties of the world, who else can play the Huiyuan, Cijinshi, and township leaders at the same time? Proprietor, you are the only one! ”

Fang Yingwu was slightly stunned, it seems that this is indeed the case, and it is customary to be an official in Beijing, and he is more likely to be a county magistrate than the third place in the township examination, the first place in the general examination, and the eleventh place in the palace examination.

That is to say, in the current more than 1,000 states and counties in the world, it is absolutely impossible to have a more high-end background than yourself, so these high-sided cards of your own can be called the most luxurious top match at present. Unless one day there is a Sanding Jia who can't think of it, he will be humiliated and sent to the county, and he will play a brand like the champion Zhixian.

Lou Tianhua patted the horse again: "Whether it is from the background, or from the status of Guo County attached to the capital, you must be the first county in the world." ”

The first county in the world? Fang Yingwu smiled dumbly, the first four words are very good, but the last two words are too small. (To be continued......)
