Chapter 106 [New Officials Take Office]
When the news of His Majesty the Emperor's safe return to Beijing arrived, the letter of appointment that Duan Fei was looking forward to was also delivered to him.
"Duan Fei, a person from Baoying County, Yangzhou, is very smart, during his tenure, he even solved the murder case, exposed the traitorous conspiracy of the Japanese in Hai'an Town, and worked together with the people of the town to resist the enemy, and the killing of the Japanese was not counted, and it was the service to kill more than 1,500 Japanese people, Duan Fei made great contributions, and now there are many cases of bandits in Jiangxi, and Duan Fei Jiangxi is specially awarded the post of Inspector and Envoy of Jiangxi, and he will go to his post immediately, and he will do this!"
With this letter of appointment, Duan Fei was sent off by the people, officials and his little brothers in the city, and left Baoying with Shi Bin and Guo Wei.
When Duan Fei passed through Yangzhou, he went to meet with Xie Zhijun, Xie Zhijun was also emotionally moved by his bizarre encounter, Duan Fei also met with Shi Zongzhuo, but unfortunately the Yue brothers did not see him when they were dredging outside, Duan Fei asked Shi Zongzhu for a few people, all of them were young people he saw when he was in Hai'an Town, and the people who survived the cruel battlefield would not be a bad seed, Duan Fei didn't need them to be too smart, all he needed was obedient and hard-working people, who were strangers in a foreign country, and the more people he was familiar with and could be trusted, the better.
Mr. Shi agreed, but this was not an order from the imperial court, but a private invitation from Duan Fei, and it was up to them whether those guys were willing to leave their hometown and go to Jiangxi.
Duan Fei left two thousand taels of silver tickets, as for the travel expenses of those guys, as well as the daily expenses of the Yue brothers, and his gratitude to Shi Zongzhuo.
This time, Mr. Shi was not polite to him, and also revealed that if he had the opportunity, he would also hope to serve Yun Yun under Duan Fei, now Duan Fei is a fifth-grade official, and Mr. Shi is only a seventh-grade official, not to mention that Duan Fei suddenly got a special award, and the group of people who are also meritorious in suppressing the Japanese have no news, what does this mean? Legend has it that Duan Fei met a nobleman, calculating the whereabouts of that person, the answer is extremely obvious, Duan Fei is young and promising, and he can expect to soar in the future, Shi Zongzhu naturally hopes to tie himself to Duan Fei's fast-flying rocket.
Coming out of Yangzhou Mansion, Duan Fei ran to Bao Daxiang again, Zhang Lao Shopkeeper also heard about Duan Fei's promotion, he happily congratulated Duan Fei, Duan Fei smiled: "I climbed high and fell miserably, I don't know if this trip is a blessing or a curse, I came to Bao Daxiang in the hope that you can help me make a thing, it is best to invite all the masters, I want to offer a reward, the person who helps me make this thing will get ten thousand taels of silver." ”
Shopkeeper Zhang was not very surprised, he led Duan Fei to the back workshop, called all the craftsmen to Duan Fei, and Duan Fei began to talk about what he needed.
"The thing I need is called transparent glue ......" Duan Fei laboriously explained to everyone, but unfortunately Bao Daxiang is a craft workshop, not a chemical laboratory, after listening to him, those craftsmen are still in the clouds, Duan Fei had to encourage everyone to brainstorm and ask others, especially those who came from Nanyang...... In short, if you can get what Duan Fei needs, the 10,000 taels are indispensable.
With a trace of regret and many expectations, Duan Fei left Yangzhou, followed the Yangtze River, and then passed through Nanjing and Anqing to Poyang Lake, and then followed the Zhangjiang River (the lower reaches of the Ganjiang River were formerly known as Zhangjiang) to Nanchang.
This section of the road lasted more than two days, fortunately, he could sleep on the boat, and the scenery along the way was picturesque, and he walked comfortably, Tang Bohu wrote more than ten new poems in a row, and also painted a few sketches, after losing the burden in his heart, his spirit was much better than when Duan Fei first met, and his face was full of red light, looking like he was running from time to time.
Entering Nanchang City, Duan Fei immediately went to visit the chief at the Yamen of the Procuratorial Envoy Division, at the beginning of King Ning's rebellion, he almost killed the officials above the five grades of Jiangxi Province and Nanchang Mansion, and the rest were also locked up in prison, after King Ning's ambush, they were all dismissed because of dereliction of duty, and now almost all the officials in Jiangxi are newcomers, among which Duan Fei's top boss, Jiangxi Provincial Punishment according to the Procuratorial Envoy Wu Wending, is one of the heroes who followed Wang Shouren to quell King Ning's rebellion.
Although Wu Wending was a literati, he had a rough and arrogant spirit, although he felt that it was a little inappropriate for Duan Fei to be awarded a five-grade official from a cloth cloth, but after seeing that Duan Fei's resume contained the words of solving murders and making meritorious contributions in the bloody battle with the Japanese invaders, he immediately changed his face towards him, and immediately arranged a job for Duan Fei after introducing the two deputy histories and several other servants.
"Jiangxi is simply a den of thieves, there are countless backlogs of criminal cases, you came at the right time, Ji Deputy Shi has a backlog of criminal cases, you go over to help him clean up." Wu Wending looked at Duan Fei as if he saw a gold ingot, although he is a civil official, but he likes to do martial arts, and he is not good at solving cases, if he is transferred to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, maybe he will be more comfortable with a fish in water, and when he comes to this sentence, he is blinded by both eyes, and the two deputy histories and servants of the prosecutor are not shrewd, they will only handle cases according to regular procedures, which is very inefficient, and there are more and more cases piled up, and now there is a subordinate who 'solves cases like a god', but he is very happy.
Encountering such a stunned boss, Duan Fei felt helpless and lucky, helpless, I just came to report, you didn't even arrange a bunk for me, so you sent me to do things, are you sorry? The good thing is that this boss seems to be quite dependent on himself, and even if he does something wrong in the future, as long as it is not a big mistake, he will have a superior to protect him, which is good news for himself, a person who has just entered the officialdom.
Since there was a Shangguan cover, Duan Fei was not polite, he did not go directly to the deputy history of Ji Jinxing after he withdrew, but ran out of the yamen, and asked Huang Suliang, who followed him to Nanchang, to find an inn near the yamen to settle everyone, and then went to find a suitable house to live in.
Although there are rules that yamen officials have to live in the yamen, but the real implementation of this article are officials who want to save money, according to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, Duan Fei estimated that he had to stay in Jiangxi for three years, living in the back yamen is really restrictive, he still has fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver tickets in his pocket, and he can still afford to buy a house.
After dealing with these matters, Duan Fei took Guo Wei and Shi Bin into the yamen of the Procuratorial Envoy Division, and found the deputy history of Ji Jinxing, who was buried in the high case file, and immediately arranged a single office room for him after seeing Duan Fei, this room has two entrances and backs, facing south and back to north, outside the door and window is a small garden, rockery and flowing water, green trees and flowers, more quiet and spacious than the place where Duan Fei saw the envoy and Ji Deputy Shi's office.
