Hearts and Minds Chapter 47 Arrival
Zhang Jian blocked the curtain and asked Feng Si to go directly to the county government after asking for directions, after all, nothing is more important now.
The group came to the county yamen in a moment, but when Zhang Jian got out of the car, the sight opened his eyes again. I saw more than a dozen people kneeling neatly on the open ground in front of the county yamen, and it was not difficult to see from the attire that these people should be ordinary people.
Zhang Jian suppressed the impulse in his heart and walked to the door, "In the next Zhang Jian, dare to ask..." ”
Before Zhang Jian could finish speaking, the messenger in front of the door interrupted directly in an unkind tone: "Where are the idlers messing around here, don't stay in the county government, go quickly." ”
Zhang Jian didn't like the tone of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger in the script of his previous life, and in the face of the bad words of the errand servants, Zhang Jian directly revealed his identity. The officer's eyes widened at the boss and he looked Zhang Jian up and down in shock, and Zhang Jian saw two words in his expression, 'doubt'.
"You... You said you were the new county commander, right? Do you have a certificate? ”
Zhang Jian sneered, "It's not your turn to come and see if you have a certificate, your county is now in the county office?" Let him come out and talk. ”
The errand officer saw that although Zhang Jian was young, he was troubled, and he saw that he was young and didn't pay attention to it, and now he secretly regretted it in his heart, so he didn't dare to slack off anymore and hurriedly turned around and went in to report.
After a while, a middle-aged man in a dark cyan official robe walked out of the door quickly, "Who claims to be the new county commander?" ”
Zhang Jian arched his hand and said: "Below is Zhang Jian, the new Xiaoping County Commander appointed by the imperial court." ”
"Is there an edict to tell you?"
Zhang Jian ordered Feng Si to take the package and take out the official seal from it. The edict and the confession were handed to the person who came, and when the person saw the three tokens, his face immediately changed and changed to a smiling face, but after taking it, he did not immediately open it to check it, but bowed and said: "Song Zewen, the county magistrate of Xiaoping County, Xiaguan, greets the county commander." ”
"Won't Song County take a look first?"
Song Zewen hurriedly smiled and said: "Of course you have to see it, but please ask the county magistrate to please go inside first, and it's not too late to wait in the yamen to slowly inspect it." ”
The two of them exchanged pleasantries on the side, but the guards were scared enough, and Song Zewen rolled his eyes and scolded angrily: "Things that don't have long eyes, you..." ”
But before the words were finished, Zhang Jian smiled and stopped, this kind of person who sees people serving dishes is the same in ancient and modern times, why should he be angry with him, "It's okay, it's okay, those who don't know are not guilty, Song County, then let's go in first." ”
When he came to the back office, Song Zewen inspected the edict and the confession, and only after checking that it was correct, did he bow down and formally greet him.
"I didn't expect the county magistrate to be like this... is really young and promising, and the lower officials admire it. It is not difficult to hear a trace of envy in Song Zewen's words.
"Song County Cheng has a good reputation, and he has to learn more from Song County Cheng in everything he does as a local magistrate at the beginning of the next year. As for the young and promising, he is even more afraid to be, how can Jian He De just be in this position thanks to the love of the prince, and he is often afraid along the way, but he is afraid that he will be incompetent and incompetent, and he will live up to the trust of the son. ”
Zhang Jian's seemingly modest words inadvertently released a signal, that is, to pull the tiger skin to make a banner. If you want to suppress these old fritters in officialdom, it won't work if you don't rely on it, a young man who has been airborne.
These words really had some effect, although the smile on Song Zewen's face had not changed, his brows were already slightly wrinkled, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: No wonder he can step on his head in one step at such a young age, he originally thought that this Zhang Jian was the son of a family, but now it seems that he is indeed a confidant of the prince.
Song Zewen came back to his senses and said with a smile: "The arrival of the county lord today is really a matter of great joy for my filial piety. ”
Zhang Jian waved his hand, "There is no need to be so troublesome, I am tired of traveling these days, I will not delay everyone's time when the official affairs in the department are complicated, and it will not be too late for me to get acquainted with you again when I ascend to the hall tomorrow, and everyone will be officials in the same county in the future." ”
Seeing that Zhang Jian refused Song Zewen couldn't insist anymore, he said instead: "Then the subordinate will not disturb the county lord to rest, and I will order the subordinate to clean up the backyard of the county government." ”
"Then there is Lao Song County, by the way, the official has something to understand and wants to ask for advice, just saw more than a dozen people kneeling in front of the yamen, I don't know what happened?"
Song Zewen's face changed, and then he replied with some embarrassment: "The person outside the door is... It is a tax resistance, and the lower officials are only slightly punished. ”
"Oh!" After listening to Song Zewen's explanation, Zhang Jian did not delve further.
When Zhang Jian came to the backyard of the county office, Feng Si was already calling a few people to carry their luggage, so Zhang Jian called Feng Si over.
"Sir, you wait first, and the little one will set up the room."
Feng Si thought that Zhang Jian wanted to rest, but he didn't expect Zhang Jian to open his mouth and say: "You can spend some money to buy on the street, and you don't need to be here first." ”
Feng Si scratched his head suspiciously, "Master, what do you want to buy?" ”
Zhang Jian said with a smile: "Food, clothing, housing and transportation are up to you, remember to buy with great fanfare." ”
"It's... Lord"
"Don't be verbose, go quickly."
After sending Feng Si away, Zhang Jian breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the errand officers who were busy cleaning around him, Zhang Jian couldn't help but silently warn himself in his heart, this is a new beginning in a strange place.
Just when Zhang Jian was distracted, an errand officer walked in and reported: There are a few people from Linchuan outside the yamen who want to ask to see your lord.
"Linchuan? Take them to the back office, and I will come after that. ”
Five people in warrior costumes and a scribe in the back office were sitting quietly waiting, and Zhang Jian walked in, and several people hurriedly got up to salute.
"You are? Huh? ”
Zhang Jian saw that one of the several people had a very familiar face, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
The middle-aged scribe saw that Zhang Jian was neither humble nor arrogant and asked with a smile: "Presumably this is Zhang Jian Zhang County's order, we are the Linchuan Wu County Guard's guard, and this time I was ordered to come to Xiaoping to listen to Zhang County's order." ”
Zhang Jian was surprised to take the letter handed over by the scribe, opened it and saw that the letter was written by Wu Yue, it turned out that Wu Yue came back from Yingxian and he saw the letter left by Zhang Jian, Wu Yue was such a delicate person when he thought of Zhang Jian's difficulties, so he appointed five guards and a doorman from the palace to Xiaoping to listen to it. These five guards were all soldiers who participated in the Battle of Yanshan in Jin'an, and the doorman was named Han Qian, although he was not a great talent in the world, but he was familiar with government affairs and decrees.
After reading the letter, Zhang Jian couldn't help but feel gratified by Wu Yue's good intentions, this is really a timely rain in the snow.
Zhang Jian put away the letter and bowed and said: "You must be very tired to come all the way, so I will arrange a rest for you, and then I will put wine and wash the dust for you in the evening when the backyard is almost cleaned up." ”
Several people thanked in unison: "Thank you for the county order." ”
