Zhou Ming didn't make it difficult for them, smiled and asked Tsing Yi to get the holy decree.

After verifying his identity, the big man bowed down and said, "Cheng Miaosheng of Wulunke County, Xiaguan, meets Lord Zhou." ”

Then the white-faced scholar beside him also hurriedly followed: "Jiang Yuanzhi, the chief secretary of Xiaguan Wu Lunke, visited Lord Zhou. ”

Others: "Meet the prefectural commander." ”

Zhou Ming picked them up with a smile and said, "I was ordered to escort Princess Luan, but I arrived a few months late. During this period, I am very grateful to you for running the county government, and I invite you to come to the county government to eat and drink tonight, and please do not shirk it. ”

Miao Sheng's face flushed when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "The last county magistrate was assassinated in the county ya, and then no one dared to come to this yamen. ”

Jiang Yuanzhi also followed: "Yes, yes, it is all the dereliction of duty of the subordinates." In the past two years, the Wulun Ke horse thieves and Hu people have frequently plundered, the treasury is empty, and the lower officials have not been able to allocate silver to repair the county government, and the lord forgives the sin. ”

The rest of the people also knew that it was really unsightly for the county government to be in tatters like this, and they all pleaded guilty again and again.

Zhou Ming looked at it at a glance and looked at the sincerity and pretense of these people, anyway, the future is long, Zhou Ming didn't want to put on a show as soon as he took office, so he smiled and said: "I empathize with everyone's difficulties, how can I blame you, don't mention the past, in the future, we will work together to govern Wu Lunke well." ”

"Master Xie." Miao Sheng naturally didn't know if Zhou Ming could really change Wu Lunke's current situation, and he was very grateful for his good speech at this time.

Miao Sheng saw that Zhou Ming and the three of them were cleaning, so he said, "My lord, please wait a moment, the lower official will go back and beckon the cheap to bring someone to clean the county office." ”

Someone was willing to help sort it out, but Zhou Ming naturally couldn't ask for it, so he hugged his fists and thanked him, so scared that Miao Sheng didn't dare to say again and again.

"Everyone went back to find someone to help the adults tidy up the county office."

"Yes."

Miao Sheng gave an order, and a group of people in the courtyard hurried home to call someone, and the scene suddenly became noisy.

Tsing Yi looked at Miao Sheng, who left first, and said, "This county looks like a willing officer." ”

Zhou Ming nodded, "It's not bad, it should be a usable person." ”

Soon, these subordinate officials rushed over with their wives, maids, and servants, carrying large buckets, small buckets, rags, and brooms. The women all went to the back office, and the men stayed in the front.

With the joint efforts of everyone, the county government has finally become clean and tidy, but the house is empty and has no furniture.

Lin Taohua heard that Zhou Ming was going to have a banquet for the subordinate officials tonight, so she also invited the wives of these subordinate officials to join in the fun. The wealth of the poor mountains and bad waters is not exposed, and Lin Taohua did not plan to buy furniture and materials extravagantly, so he directly asked Hu Jianyi and Tsing Yi to go out and find some stone slabs and stakes to build a simple table, cut wood and make stools directly, and borrowed pots and pans first, and finally managed to make a few tables.

"Bai Yuan, you and the second year of junior high school go and ask where the market is, buy some seasonal vegetables and rice grains, cut less meat, and then bring back a few jars of similar wine." She instructed the white mandarin duck.

"No, the last county commander was assassinated, and it's unknown whether there is danger here, I have to be with you." The white mandarin duck directly refused.

Zhou Ming happened to come back, and after hearing Bai Yuan's words, he said to Lin Taohua: "Bai Yuan's right, there is nothing to be busy here, why don't you go with them." ”

Lin Taohua agreed, and then said uneasily: "Brother Ming, you call Tsing Yi wherever you go, do you know?" ”

Zhou Ming smiled: "My husband knows the severity, go quickly." ”

So Lin Taohua took the white mandarin ducks and them to see the market in Wulunke, and probably figured out the economic situation and consumption level here.

"Tsk, poor Brother Ming, this time we must not only focus on national defense, but also focus on the economy and poverty alleviation." Lin Taohua sighed, this time she really fell into the poor ravine.

There was nothing to buy in the entire market, so Lin Taohua finally prepared four tables of wine and food, and then went home to make dinner.

"Yo, where did this rabbit come from?" As soon as he entered the back office, Lin Taohua found the rabbit on the stone table that had been cleaned and cleaned, and asked in surprise.

Hu Jian carried two pheasants in his hand and said, "My lord, I'm afraid that my wife won't be able to buy it neatly, so I will go hunting in the mountains." ”

Lin Taohua was overjoyed, "Hehe, Brother Hu, you really solved a big trouble for my hostess, you did a good job." White Mandarin Duck, remember to reward it. ”

The white mandarin duck rolled her eyes, why did she let her reward?

Hu Jian hit the snake with the stick, and immediately leaned in front of the white duck and said, "How are you going to reward me?" ”

Bai Yuan smirked, patted Hu Jianyi on the shoulder and said, "Good job, keep up the good work." ”

"......" Hu Jian's mouth collapsed, this is considered a reward? Why don't you give him a kiss, it's really not good, it's good to give him a hug.

Bai Yuan glanced at him, and was in a good mood to help Lin Taohua cook.

Hu Jianyi sighed, turned his head and saw that Bai Ya'er didn't know what to sprinkle in front of and behind the house, so he walked over and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Bai Ya'er said: "I raised some poisonous spiders and put them here to watch the house." ”

Hu Jianyi was stunned, "You're not afraid of accidental injury?" ”

"No, they're trained to be competent. Besides, it doesn't matter if it's injured by mistake, I have an antidote. After saying that, she clapped her hands and walked away expressionlessly.

Bai Ya'er has become like this now, Hu Jianyi really gave Tsing Yi a handful of sad tears.

After the mobilization of the whole family, the sun had just sunset, and the banquet of the front and back offices was put on the table. Wu Lunke's subordinates arrived one after another with their wives, each of whom brought some gifts, although they were not very precious, but they were all food, bowls, tables and stools, and so on.

Today, Zhou Ming arrived on the first day, and he didn't talk about official business but only Fengyue, so he drank very happily in front of him, and Zhou Ming also took the opportunity to touch the temperament of his subordinates.

There are all women in the back office, and Lin Taohua in order to let them go back to blow the pillow wind more, so as to help her husband and gather a few more available people, she also calculated the blood, and gave them the rouge gouache that Duanhui gave her when she returned to Beijing.

I heard that these rouge gouaches were given by Her Royal Highness the princess, and the joy was overflowing, and she thanked Lin Taohua again and again.

The guests and hosts of the meal were happy, Zhou Ming was satisfied, and Lin Taohua was also satisfied.

"Lady has worked hard." After everyone left, Zhou Ming bowed down and saluted Lin Taohua.

Lin Taohua pretended to give him a salute and said, "Xianggong is even harder." ”

"Hehehe, naughty." Zhou Ming scratched her nose and said, "It's been a tired day, you can freshen up and rest first." ”

Lin Taoqi said: "What are you going to do?" ”

Zhou Ming smiled: "I have to read the county chronicle file first." ”

Lin Taohua stepped forward, hooked his chin with one hand, grabbed two gold ingots with the other, and said angrily: "The little boy has no money to earn in the office, so it is better to consider warming the quilt for the girl." If you see it, you will enjoy one for one night, you will consider it. ”
