The sky was approaching dusk, and in the stunned eyes of a cadre of passers-by, the Wanping County government service team, as the victorious side of the battle of Changjie, proudly collected the troops and returned to the government. Fang Yingwu looked at his jubilant and harvested subordinates, and somehow remembered a song: Sunset, Red Glow

The officials really raised their eyebrows, after this battle, in their hearts, Fang Zhixian, who led them to rob legally, was simply a god. However, only Lou Tianhua was worried in the crowd, in his eyes, the proprietor, as a fresh magistrate, acted too radically and extremely.

Thinking of this, Lou Tianhua sighed secretly, it was really strange, when he first met Fang Yingwu, he was not such a reckless and arbitrary person, why did he seem to be a different person after becoming the magistrate?

If there is a slight problem on the side of Baoguo Temple, it will be clamored to directly occupy the land and demolish the temple; Yongping Bo resisted a little, and completely smashed other people's stores, and how to look left and right is also a stunned behavior.

Could it be that power can easily distort human nature, and a young man like Fang Yingwu suddenly became a parent official in the main hall of a county, and his mentality swelled up in the voice of "big master", and then lost himself?

If this continues, the proprietor is afraid that he will be blasted out of the capital in a few days and rushed to other places to become a remote magistrate or an official. At that time, will you continue to follow the people who have left your hometown, or will you find another job as soon as possible? Lou Tianhua couldn't help but fall into a serious tangle syndrome.

The flowers bloom two and each have a branch, which is different from the Wanping County officials, and the Jingying sergeant sent by Yongping Bo is the other side of the brawl, so it will be a sad loss.

returned to the house to report the situation, and immediately made the little uncle so angry that the three corpses jumped violently and smoked. He was born with a golden key. He inherited the title in his twenties and was honored by the state. When did you get this bird air?

Even if Zhang Luo borrowed hundreds of soldiers from his close uncles from Beijing, he would set foot in Wanping County tomorrow. In this way, I can get out of my heart!

But fortunately, there is an old general by the little uncle's side, and he immediately stopped the little uncle with his thighs, and persuaded hard: "Although Wanping County is small, the county government is also an important place for the government, if the lord leads the troops to besiege the county government, I am afraid that I will be pushed to sue a rebellion!" At that time, it will be difficult to keep the family business created by the ancestors! ”

The little uncle was angry and said angrily: "According to you, he can come and smash my shop." But I can't go and smash his county office? Is there no way to let a county magistrate step on his head? ”

How can the shop and the county government compare the old family general and said: "It's not impossible, but it can be two-pronged, one is to send people to keep an eye on the county government, pay attention to the entry and exit trends of the county and wait for the opportunity; The second is to contact the relatives and friends of the lords, and the elders of the court to impeach Wanping County! ”

Besides, after Fang Yingwu Fang Zhixian returned to the county office, he looked at the official documents of the day in the second hall, and there was nothing too urgent. At this time, he felt a little tired, and was about to retreat to the inner office to rest, when Fang Yingshi, who was guarding the door outside, came in to report that Qian Xiancheng had visited.

Fang Yingwu secretly wondered. This Qian County's performance in visiting himself is really positive, and it seems that it is not simply because of his new arrival. It's really hard to refuse people thousands of miles away, so I have to let them in and talk.

Qian Xiancheng entered the house and saluted: "I want to hold a banquet the day before yesterday." However, the county is not empty, I don't know if there is leisure tonight? ”

Fang Yingwu was a little tired today and didn't want to toss too much. He said: "You and I have the friendship of colleagues, so why be too polite." It's better to just have a drink and talk in the dining room of the Yazhong. ”

Qian Xiancheng naturally had no opinion, and hurriedly sent someone to the dining house to say hello. Let the cook clean up the dishes and drinks. Then Fang Yingwu and Qian County Cheng An walked into the car and came to the restaurant located at the northwest end of the county ya.

After three rounds of drinking, Qian Xiancheng couldn't suppress it, and couldn't wait to ask: "Yesterday, the county zun went to the south of the city to inspect, and I heard that the county zun intends to demolish the temple and build a city to gather financial resources?" ”

Qian Xiancheng knew this, Fang Yingwu was not surprised, but it was strange that Qian Xiancheng Weishenme was curious about this, and nodded: "This is indeed the case." ”

Qian County Cheng then recommended himself: "Although I am not talented in the next place, I am willing to do it for me." Fang Yingwu was even more curious, and asked rhetorically: "This official is very puzzled, if you still have something to say, just say it all." ”

Qian Xiancheng coughed, "The county government is located in the city, and it is located in the north, which was originally designed to bomb the ground in the city and the west mountain; However, in recent years, outside the southern city has been due to the convenience of the location, living and multiplying, and the affairs are miscellaneous, and it is far away from the county government, which is inevitably beyond the reach of the whip and difficult to govern. ”

Fang Yingwu remembered what he saw and heard when he went out of Nancheng yesterday, and felt that what Qian Xiancheng said was reasonable. What's more, according to the impression of later generations, the population in the south of the capital did grow rapidly, and in the Jiajing Dynasty, the city wall of the capital had to be expanded to the south, and the southern suburbs were surrounded and became the outer city of the capital. He asked, "What is your plan?" ”

Qian Xiancheng replied neatly: "In my opinion, this county should set up a branch office in the south of the city to govern it, so that the effect can be obtained and the local government will be suppressed." ”

Set up a branch office and send officers to take charge? Fang Yingwu knew that this method was not unusual, and in some places where the county situation was complex or the area was vast, the county government could not take it into account, so there were often other branch offices to deal with it nearby.

Moreover, Fang Yingwu knew that if a county government branch office was set up outside, the second-in-command of the county government would be the first choice. It turned out that Qian Xiancheng had this thought, if he went out to sit in the branch office, then at least he would be a master who could manage things, it was better to eat in the county office and wait for death.

Qian Xiancheng's mood, Fang Zhixian expressed understanding. The Ming system is the centralized system of the main hall, and the county has almost all the county political power, and the county is basically a person like the county who looks at the county's face and is mixed, and it is not surprising that people like Qian County who are unwilling to do this want to go out and get some real power.

But understanding is understanding, there are some things that cannot be easily spoken, Fang Yingwu pondered for a moment and did not answer.

Qian Xiancheng continued to plead: "The villages in the southern suburbs outside the city are dense, and the flow of people in all directions is mixed. The county respects you living in the county government, close to the imperial court, circling the powerful, taking care of the people, up and down, left and right, entangled in affairs, it is inevitable that you will be overwhelmed, and you are only afraid that you will not be able to take care of the south of the city.

If you go to the south of the city to govern, clean up the household registration, rectify taxes, and press the ground, you can divide the county into the labor of respecting the government, and you can solve the worries of the county! ”

Well, what Qian County said is not unreasonable. Fang Zhixian continued to groan, not because he was greedy for power for fear of being taken away. By nature, Fang Yingwu is a person who grasps the big and lets go of the small, impatient and trivial affairs, if there is a reliable person to help him take on it, it is really unwanted.

But there are still two points that need to be considered, first, is Qian County Cheng reliable or not? I have only met Qian Xiancheng twice, and I haven't said much, so I really can't see the nature of this person;

Second, Fang Zhi County has had another plan in mind since yesterday, intending to develop commerce in the Xuanwumen area in the south of the city, so as to open up the financial resources of the county treasury, change the situation that the county treasury is running short every year, and achieve its own political achievements. It is related to their own performance, so they cannot be cautious about the establishment and selection of the Seongnam Branch.

Qian Xiancheng has been an official for so many years, so he naturally knows how to solve the concerns of the county, and patted his chest and said: "So as I said just now, the county wants to demolish the temple in the south of the city and build a city, and I will ask you to go!" It's done, and then talk to the county about the branch office! ”

The meaning of Qian County's words is obvious, that is, to ask the county to use this matter to investigate his surname Qian! At the same time, he also expects that after taking charge of this major project in the south of the city, he will naturally be familiar with the place, and he can set up a branch office naturally and without hindrance.

Fang Zhixian clapped his hands and said: "Okay! Please ask Lord Qian to go to Baoguo Temple to take charge of this matter! ”

"Yes! Prefectural but don't worry! Qian Xiancheng was afraid of repentance, so he hurriedly agreed.

Suddenly, Qian Xiancheng realized something, and hesitantly confirmed: "Is it Baoguo Temple?" The Baoguo Temple in the southwest outside the Xuanwu Gate? ”

Fang Zhixian affirmed: "Yes, this is exactly the place." ”

Qian County was shocked! Damn, isn't that the place where the Queen Mother's younger brother became a monk? Don't bully him for being in a humble position, he is very well-informed when he should be well-informed! Those officials who suffered from the plague did not speak clearly, only said that the county respected the south of the city and arrived at a broken temple, and then they looked at the broken temple place, but did not explain what kind of temple it was!

In fact, you can't blame the officials, where do these officials know any high-level news, and they don't know what special meaning the small broken temple of Baoguo Temple has.

At this time, Qian Xiancheng's face became bitter, and he said: "County Zun, this and this"

Fang Yingwu waved his hand to stop Qian Xiancheng from speaking: "A gentleman's words, the horse is difficult to chase, if Qian Xiancheng can succeed, this official will naturally not be treated badly!" Tomorrow, the Japanese officials will send officials and craftsmen to accompany you! (To be continued......)

PS: I didn't think about the follow-up yesterday, for fear that there would be revisions, so I didn't send it until this morning. Today I have a hunch that I will have three watches.
