The capital is actually not far from Yongqiu County, Gu and Ji didn't dare to go too fast, they only counted to save some time to prepare for the county, lest they go too early, so that the people in that place will not have time to clean up, and finally the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, and it is not good to go too slowly, but I am afraid that when I arrive, the traces will be picked up and cleaned.

When the group arrived at the place, Ji Qingling stayed behind, she didn't go to the post station to stay, only found an inn, and Gu Yanzhang took a cadre of the Criminal Department to the county office.

He was about to turn into the alley of the county government, but he saw many Yongqiu County officials standing outside to greet him, and a man with gray hair was already standing at the front, and when Gu Yanzhang and the others got off the horse, he immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Chen Ducai, the magistrate of Yongqiu County, has seen everyone in the Criminal Division!" ”

He only swept around, saw Gu Yanzhang in the front, and saw the reactions of the people around him, and quickly recognized the main owner, and said to Gu Yanzhang: "This must be Deputy Envoy Gu, the lower official has heard the name earlier, and he doesn't want to see it today, so he must go all out to make peace, and don't let you spend more time here and delay your official business." ”

Chen Ducai's facial features are upright, his manners are appropriate, the official uniform on his body is not very new, he has been wearing it for a long time at first glance, but it is clean, he speaks and acts competently, and he is not overly courteous, giving a very good first impression.

It was only when he welcomed everyone into the county government and served tea to the servants that he smiled and said: "This official has specially set up a reception banquet, although it is a little simpler, but you must have been hungry all the way, why don't you eat the banquet and then go on business?" ”

At this time, it was past noon, and it was lunchtime, so the people came to the table and had lunch.

This reception banquet is also very ingenious, according to the head of the people to give the staple food and dishes, and there are seasonal, local specialties of fresh fruit, the dishes are simple, the cost of money is not much, but everyone at the table is comfortable.

Chen Ducai claimed that the amount of alcohol was not good during the banquet, and said that he was afraid that it would affect the errand in the afternoon, so he did not serve wine, only served tea, and introduced the situation in Yongqiu County to everyone.

Following Gu Yanzhang in a group, he was sentenced by the Criminal Division, called Yang Kai, and he said to Gu Yanzhang in private: "Before I came, I checked the file and said that this Chen County Order used to be an official outside and in the court, and the official reputation was good. ”

There was a bit of regret in the words.

As long as it is a human being, it has its own likes and dislikes, and if it is agreeable, it is better to have a better attitude, and if it is undesirable, although it is generally a routine act, it is inevitable that it will be colder.

Gu Yanzhang nodded and replied: "It is true that he is proficient in political affairs, so talented, it is a pity to only be a magistrate." ”

When the reception banquet was over, Chen Du did not delay the time, and only led everyone to the second hall, where there were already two big tables, and there were many volumes piled up on them, each of which was divided into categories, according to the year and category.

He explained to Gu Yanzhang: "Seeing that autumn is about to begin, because I am afraid that the weather will be dry and dry, and this county has always had less rain than Linxian County, so the officials of the Yazhong went to the township and village to report and inspect before, and told all places to be careful and take precautions, so as not to make a fire. ”

Chen Ducai said with a little apology, and said: "This matter is an omission on the part of the lower officials, so I had to first prepare the easy to prepare the past judgment files, tax account books, and Wuding Tianmu books, and opened the file library, just wait for you to check this place first, if the deputy envoy thinks it's okay, then wait for the next head to prepare the things in the Chang Ping and the Treasury according to the original requirements, and then check the point, if you feel that it is not appropriate, at this time it is okay to go to the Chang Ping and the Treasury first, but it should not be so smooth, but it is the fault of the lower officials. ”

The reason he used was fire prevention, and it was true that there were many fires in Gyeonggi in the autumn, and such preparations in advance were precisely because the county officials were sympathetic to the people and could not find fault at all.

Gu Yanzhang said: "The Criminal Department is patrolling as usual, and it can't delay the county's government affairs because of this, Chen Zhixian is serious." ”

He calculated the time in his heart and said: "Check the rest of the places first, and then go to see the county government treasury in two days. ”

Chen Ducai's face remained unchanged, and he said: "Then the lower official will go to the people to prepare for the matter." ”

Since this day, more than a dozen officials in the Criminal Prosecution Department have come down from the county government and began to check the affairs of Yongqiu County.

***

At this place, Gu Yanzhang followed everyone to check the files and account books, Ji Qingling couldn't handle the rest of the things, thought about it, and knew that closing the position this time was the most important thing, so he took charge of the matter and found a big grain store, and did not hide it, and went to inquire about the price, only saying that he waited until after the autumn harvest, and there was a sum of autumn grain to be sold, and asked the grain store about the price of grain and rice after the autumn.

On the one hand, she went around to inquire about the atmosphere in the county, and on the other hand, she went to inquire about the price of grain and rice, silver and copper exchange ratios over the years, and asked once, knowing that the place where she lived was the largest inn in Yongqiu County, so she rewarded her with the usual money, and found a hired worker who had been working here for a long time.

Ji Qingling didn't have many servants, and the pomp was not big, but the reward was generous, and when the other party came, he first asked someone to sit down, and then asked to watch the tea, and then asked seriously.

She saw that the other party was a cool one, and she didn't beat around the bush, but just said directly: "I heard people say that my aunt has been working here for 20 years, so I want to ask about some local things, I don't know if it's inconvenient for my aunt?" ”

The other party replied with a smile: "Counting this year, it is twenty-two years, what does the lady want to know, as long as it is not difficult to answer, ask me, then it is right." ”

Ji Qingling said: "I came from the south, because my family saved a little silver, I want to make a living, I want to open a tea and wine shop in this Gyeonggi land, and I want to do more business, but I don't know how many people come and go from the north and south here, so I specially asked my aunt to come and inquire." ”

She said as she looked up at Qiu Yue.

Qiu Yue took out a small corner of silver from her sleeve, quietly placed it on the saucer, and placed it in front of the woman.

Seeing the silver and hearing such an ordinary question, the woman smiled and said busily: "The lady really asked this time, so look outside." ”

As he spoke, he stood up, pushed open a window in the room against the north, pointed down to show Ji Qingling, and said, "Look at that piece, what have you not seen?" ”

Ji Qingling followed, looked out, but saw a whole row of houses behind the newly built houses, some were still digging the ground and building walls, some were already building roofs and tiles, not only the inn where he lived, looked left and right, most of the street was being built.

She couldn't help but wonder: "Why are all families building houses?" ”

The woman smiled and said: "The lady doesn't know, I was born here, I have lived to this day for more than 40 years, when I was a girl at home, I married someone later, this Yongqiu County is just an ordinary territory, I don't want to say that it can be compared to the auspicious charm and Wei clan in the capital, and it is also in the Daimyo Mansion Taikang and Xianping are much better than our days, we have no fresh fruits in the local area, and there are no special products, and there are no cherries in Zhongmu, and there are grapes in Fugou, so I have to look at the sky and eat the earth. It wasn't until last year that the court built a large permanent position in our place, and the whole county was better. ”

Ji Qingling had the heart to ask, so he asked, "Is there anything so powerful about this regular liquidation?" ”

The woman said: "Where is it not powerful, let me ask, this often closed position must be built, and a house must be built?" Do the manpower who build the house need food and shelter? When the grain arrives, will the grain merchants and the laborers who transport the grain have to eat and live? When there are more people, clothing, food, housing, and transportation are all businesses, and there are more people who come here to do business. ”

She smiled: "At the beginning of the year, when the big often closed the position, I worked in this inn for two months in a row did not have a vacant room, the first two months were the off-season, the main family thought that it would be empty for a long time, but I don't know what was going on, since the beginning of the month, it was actually started to come and go again Merchants in an endless stream, and there were caravans to follow, many inns were not enough to live, so they had to build a house in a hurry, only to build a shelf out, one more is considered one. ”
