Chapter 9: Knowing with reason, moving with emotion
As the lowest person in the county government, Wang Yunchao has always walked on thin ice in the face of county officials, at least on the surface.
Wang Yunchao has just turned 25 this year, and he has been a government official since eight years ago, and he has followed him when he took office as a county commander.
Therefore, he has come into contact with many officials who come and go in Qingxi County, but it is the first time he has met Chen Feng, who seems to be very familiar with him when they first meet.
But even so.
When he blurted out that sentence, he already regretted it.
No matter how approachable Chen Feng is, he is also an official, and how can he be beaked in how the county government does things.
Just when he wanted to defend himself.
Chen Feng took the first step and said: "People are good at being bullied, horses are good at being ridden, sometimes we should fight." β
"Fighting?"
Wang Yunchao suspected that he had heard it wrong, and the official told him that he was going to fight?
Chen Feng smiled and said, "Yes, I am also fighting." β
There was heat in the wind, and Wang Yunchao couldn't believe that it was really the county lieutenant of Qingxi standing in front of him.
;;;;;;
"I don't know what the matter is when the lord summons the lower officials?"
When he came to the council hall, Chen Feng pretended not to understand anything.
Zhou Boqian had already left, Li Zhifeng got up from the main seat, smiled and said with concern: "Sit down quickly." β
Chen Feng was not humble, sat down and waited for the following.
"I guess I saw it when I came in, and the victims were noisy outside, and there were still some kind of demonstrations,"
Li Zhifeng personally poured him tea, "This county has asthma again, and his condition is really serious, so he can only solve this matter when he is wronged." β
"I'm not going," Chen Feng said expressionlessly.
"You..." Li Zhifeng was stunned on the spot, and then said, "What do you mean?" β
"As the county lieutenant of this county, you should be responsible for public security, why are you prevaricating like this?"
Hearing that the other party was already obviously displeased, Chen Feng turned a blind eye, and said in a strange manner: "Zi said: 'Not in his position, not in his government', forgive the officials for not daring to trespass." β
"Huh?"
Li Zhifeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he brushed his sleeves and said, "County Lieutenant Chen, are you worthy of your official uniform when you say this?" β
"It's not that the subordinate officials don't want to do it, but yesterday the scribe told the subordinate that all the affairs of the county lieutenant's room would be taken care of by him."
Chen Feng said indifferently: "Xia Guan has just arrived, and he doesn't know anything, so he can only cooperate, and the lord should let the county lieutenant Fang deal with this matter." β
Hearing this, Li Zhifeng remembered what he discussed with Huang Anfu yesterday.
But how could he admit that he had arranged for Fang Shan to do the matter of setting aside Chen Feng's rights.
So a palm fell, and he said angrily: "Damn, yesterday the county had ordered him to hand over official business, and the little scribe dared to be so presumptuous and bold, you say, how to deal with this Fang Shan." β
The so-called see through it or not say it, Chen Feng just smiled, "Since he likes the position of county lieutenant so much, why not let him take care of the security patrol?" β
Li Zhifeng quickly understood what he meant, and the smile on his face seemed against his will, "After all, he is a scribe, and it may not be appropriate to throw it into the pile of officials." β
"There's something wrong,"
Chen Feng grabbed the crutches and was about to get up, "Xia Guan feels that without such a capable man, it is also very inappropriate to mediate the victims." β
This guy.
Dare to threaten yourself.
Li Zhifeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, "That's it, you can deal with this Fang Shan as you want, let's talk about how to mediate the disaster victims." β
"Yes,"
Chen Feng wanted this sentence, and then pretended to be confused and said: "My lord, since the county government collected the people's grain at the beginning, why don't you give it to them now?" β
"Alas,"
With a melancholy sound, Li Zhifeng sat down weakly, and said helplessly: "You don't know anything when you are young, when the county wanted to collect the money and grain for unified distribution, I didn't want to be robbed by bandits on the way to escort it." β
"Don't you know, since the locust plague last year, a group of bandits who gathered in the mountains and forests in our county, called Lei Zhentian, often caused trouble on the post road, and the county also had a headache."
"I see,"
Chen Feng seemed to understand Li Zhifeng's difficulties in an instant, "If there is no food, it will be difficult." β
"That's why I have no choice but to invite you to come over."
Li Zhifeng solemnly said, "This county knows that Zishi is a protΓ©gΓ© of the prefect, and his talents in a year have already been famous in the land of Jianbei, so he must have a good plan in his belly." β
In the first month of the first year of Zhaoqing, Chen Feng was captured by the Fujin Society, and in March, the Fujin Society raised troops in the area of Ganlong Pass, but by mid-October, the Fujin Society was completely extinguished by the imperial army.
It was also at this time that Chen Feng fell into the hands of Lai Wanchun.
Later, he came to Wanchun to settle in Fuling County, Huai'an Prefecture, Jiangbei, so to be precise, Chen Feng was from Jiangbei, but he had never been to Fuling before that.
In February of the second year of Zhaoqing, Chen Feng participated in the county examination to become a child, in April to participate in the government examination to become a showman, and in August to participate in the township examination to become a lifter.
It is precisely like this, there is a saying in Li Zhifeng's mouth that he lifted it in a year.
Chen Fengna could care about Li Zhifeng's praise, and said: "It's not impossible for the lord to go down to the official to solve this matter, but the lower official has a few requests, otherwise the gods are coming, and it is impossible to persuade the hungry and anxious victims." β
Li Zhifeng was silent, he didn't care if he could solve it or not.
"Lord Prefectural,"
Chen Feng saw his careful thinking at a glance, and said with a smile: "Next year is the three-year assessment period, although the lower officials have just arrived, they can also see that the county government has made mediocre achievements in six things in the past three years, such as school, field, household registration, enlistment, lawsuit, and thief's book,"
"Does the county lord think that the subordinate official alone can bear these responsibilities, not to mention that the subordinate has just taken office."
There is already a complete system for the evaluation of officials in Jokhang, and the six things are extremely important among them.
was told by Chen Feng, Li Zhifeng coughed lightly to relieve the embarrassing atmosphere.
Chen Feng got up, suddenly saluted Li Zhifeng respectfully, and said sincerely: "I know that because of the relationship between the teacher, the county lord has prejudices against the lower officials, but the lower officials have studied hard for ten years to win the opportunity to show their ambitions today,"
"How can you be willing to do the thing of eggs touching stones, not to mention how far away Qingxi is from Guangyang, the lower officials think that they are not stupid, and they still understand the truth that those who know the times are handsome."
Is this trying to be effective?
Li Zhifeng's words were very surprising, especially Chen Feng's frank appearance, which made him feel that he had really thought too much about this time.
But with just a few words, he wouldn't believe Chen Feng.
"The lower officials are willing to serve the work of dogs and horses,"
Chen Feng bowed and said: "As long as the county lord agrees to the request of the lower official, the lower official promises to solve the matter of the victims, and wait until next year's assessment, and the county lord's political achievements will be a strong stroke." β
"Really?" Li Zhifeng was a little excited.
Hearing this, Chen Feng increased the heat and said: "Xiaguan told the truth to the lord, no one knows the reason why he was demoted to the prefect's mansion, his relationship with King Ding is ambiguous, and His Majesty has intended to cut the feudal domain since he ascended the throne,"
"If the lower official still can't see the situation clearly, isn't he a fool? I also asked the county lord to give the lower officials a chance. β
