Chapter 241: Empty Shell

"Lord Zhang, this ......"

After Zhang Chu and the soap-clothed official surnamed Li came out of the Junchengguan Temple, the soap-clothed official surnamed Li suddenly raised a big sleeve towards Zhang Chu with an embarrassed face.

Zhang Chu knew what was under the big sleeve, he didn't reach out to pick it up, but just smiled faintly: "Lord Li is polite, just a meeting gift." ”

This soap-clothed little official surnamed Li, although he is a sesame official who is not in the grade, but he is Shi An's personal entourage, Zhang Chu can't offend him for ten taels of silver, it's not worth it.

This kind of character, it may be difficult to let him do something, but if he is made bad about something, everyone is a good hand.

It is already an established fact that he became an official in the county government, and Zhang Chu must plan for the future.

The little soap-clothed official surnamed Li couldn't tell whether Zhang Chu pretended not to care or really didn't care, and took a step towards him with a forced smile, and was about to stuff the silver tael hidden under his sleeve back into Zhang Chu's hand, "Don't dare, don't dare, how can the subordinate take ......"

"That's it!"

Zhang Chu was too lazy to push back and forth with him in order to scatter the broken silver taels, so he simply took out another ten taels of silver and stuffed it into his hand, "Everyone will be colleagues in the future, if Master Li is with me again...... If you are so polite to this official, this official can treat Master Li as if he didn't take this official as his own. ”

"Okay, it's the first time this official has come to the county office, why don't you give this official an introduction to the distribution of the county government?"

The soap-clothed little official surnamed Li finally saw it this time, this master is a real wealthy master, and he doesn't care about this scattered silver taels.

He put away the two ingots of silver with peace of mind, and arched his hand towards Zhang Chu with a hot smile: "Lord Zhang, don't call the subordinate again, it's too embarrassing, the subordinate is surnamed Li, and the single name is a good word, Lord Zhang might as well call the subordinate by his real name." ”

"Okay, Master Lee. ”

"Lord Zhang, please, has you seen the vermilion official temple?"

"See. ”

"That's Lord Di's official temple Anwutai, and now Lord Di is not in the county office, and Anwu is sealed. ”

"That Xuanse official temple is the north building of Lord Nie's official temple, and Lord Nie is not in the county office, and it is also sealed. ”

"Lord Li, where is the official temple of the county thief Cao Hou Jun Tang Hou?"

"Oh, Lord Hou's official temple? is on the right side of your official temple and county military division. ”

"Oh, that's a coincidence......"

......

"Master Li, why do you have time to come here today?"

Li Liang led Zhang Chu into the County Soldier Division, and a middle-aged scribe in a cyan official robe greeted him with a smile.

Zhang Chu glanced at the cyan official clothes he was wearing, and it was clear that he was also an official who had entered the rank, but he took the initiative to bow to Li Liang, a small official in a soap suit, it seems that Shi An made a move this time, which directly improved the status of the civil official department in the county government!

After the middle-aged scribe greeted Li Liang, he looked at Zhang Chu and asked with an inquiring look in his eyes, "This is ......?"

Zhang Chu didn't look at him again, and turned his gaze to look at this official temple.

Each official temple of the county government is equivalent to an independent office building.

This county soldier Caoguan Temple, is a quadrangle courtyard type, about two basketball courts are big, sit in the south and open to the west towards the north gate, it seems to have the meaning of rejecting the north in this place.

At this time, he stood in the courtyard, with weapon racks on both sides, and some swords, guns, swords, halberds and other weapons commonly used in the army inserted on them, indicating that the chief officer of this official temple was a military general rather than a civil servant.

The lobby is located in the south, with red as the keynote, green tiles covering the roof, and two one-person tall stone lions standing in front of the door, which look a bit majestic and murderous.

The houses on both sides of the lobby are slightly lower than the lobby, and there are small rooms in the middle, Zhang Chu counted them, there are a total of fourteen rooms.

Looking at this posture, it means that there were a total of twelve lower-level officials under the county soldier Cao in his heyday?

Zhang Chu couldn't help but recall the authority of the county soldier Cao.

The county soldier Cao controls the military affairs of the county government, including but not limited to defending the city, suppressing bandits, as well as the management of Cao Yun and Chi Road, and has two departments under his jurisdiction: the city guard army and the box army.

Zhang Chu of the Xiang Army was not familiar with it, but Zhang Chu of the City Guard Army understood.

The Jintianfu City Guard has 4,000 people, led by four city gate guards, and is divided into four city gates.

If the establishment of the Xiang army is also similar to that of the city guard army, then the Xiang army should also have four generals.

Add in all kinds of clerical, logistical, axle load, and so on, and that's about the same number.

It's just that now in the official temple, except for the middle-aged scribe in front of him, there is no one.

The Xiang army has gone to northern Xinjiang with the former county soldier Cao Song Tianqing, and the people of the Xiang army are not here and are normal.

The previous Northern Barbarian fierce cavalry attacked Jintianfu from the four gates at the same time, the city guards suffered serious casualties, and even the city gate guards were attacked and killed by the Northern Barbarians, I don't know who is still alive now......

Zhang Chu pondered for a while, and suddenly found that Cao, the acting county soldier in charge of the defense of Jintian Mansion, was actually an empty shell with neither many soldiers nor many generals under him!

No wonder Shi An will forcibly press him to the position of the county soldier Cao, and he still has a posture of "you don't want it, I will be unhappy", it turns out that this position is a black pot at all.

Who sits in the unlucky black pot......

Damn, Hou Juntang, you are a pit again!

Thinking about the joint, Zhang Chu's face turned black all of a sudden.

"Master Liu, this is Lord Zhang Chuzhang, the fake county soldier Cao newly appointed by Lord Shi, Master Liu is not ready to inform all the adults, come to meet Lord Zhang!"

Li Liang introduced.

When the middle-aged scribe heard this, he hurriedly bowed to Zhang Chu to the end, and said respectfully: "Liu Shuxin, the chief secretary of the military division of Xiaguan County, meet your lord." ”

The main book, that is, the head of the knife and pen clerk who handles the paperwork, is barely an official.

Zhang Chu reluctantly whispered: "Get up!"

"Master Xie. ”

Liu Shuxin straightened up, clenched his fists respectfully and asked, "My lord, but you want to raise the account?"

Zhang Chu pondered for a few breaths, and said: "That's it, the official should come to recognize the door today, so he won't move the people, and he will bother Master Liu, send someone to inform you, take stock of the affairs within the division, and report to the official when the picture is drawn tomorrow...... I also ask Master Liu to tell you to take stock clearly, if there is any untruths or omissions, it will make everyone very unhappy!"

When Liu Shuxin heard this, he secretly glanced at Zhang Chu's gaze, and couldn't help but feel a little contempt.

When I first arrived, I didn't want to win over my subordinates, but I turned over the old accounts as soon as I came, and at a glance, I knew that he must be a raw melon egg who stepped into the official career with the martial arts realm!

To deal with this kind of simple-minded, well-developed limbs, these old horses have countless ways to force him to either bow his head or play with wine in this yard!

Liu Shuxin slandered in his heart, but he did not hesitate to the end: "Yes, the lower official will send someone to inform you." ”

Zhang Chu nodded, and finally arched his hand towards Li Liang: "I'm tired of Lord Li leading the way, so the official will go home to rest first." ”

Li Liang returned the salute: "That sir, your black gauze robe should be equipped, did you send someone to your house?"

"Then it's going to be a trouble for Master Li again. ”

"Lord Zhang is going to be polite, this is a matter within the duties of the lower officials. ”
