This night, Qin Jing and Su Zijin played chess until late before going to sleep, who lost and who won, Su Zijin no longer remembers, only remembers that they talked a lot, and drank a few pots of tea.

"Morning!"

"Morning!"

"This pickle is quite crispy, you can taste it."

"Well, it's delicious."

"Let's go, go to the county office, Dingtao Mansion is not very big, let's speed up the pace this time and make up for the lost time in Pingqiu."

"Well, let's go."

When they got up early in the morning, Xi Yan and Hou Yi both felt that the four princes, Qin Jing and Miss Su, had a tacit understanding like an "old husband and wife", but an "old friend". Even though he still didn't talk much, he didn't feel embarrassed.

Xi Yan and Hou Yi unconsciously glanced at each other, and they were a little curious about what happened last night.

"Really?" Xi Yan's eyes widened suddenly, and Hou Yi's hand instantly reached the back of Xi Yan's head.

"Well, why did you hit me all of a sudden?"

Xi Yan covered his head.

"Who made you want to be crooked!"

Hou Yi pouted.

"I, when I... I think it's crooked. ”

Xi Yan retorted with some lack of confidence.

"It's all men, I don't know what you think? Let me tell you, impossible, don't think about it, don't talk about our young lady's character, that is, the fourth prince is so valuable, and neither of them is a person who will mess around. ”

Xiyan completely lost his temper, "I didn't think about anything, I was beaten by you." Okay, I don't care if you do it, but not in the future, you know? Let's go, Lord and Miss Su are out! ”

Hou Yi gave up, turned around and got on the horse, and Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief and followed the three of them.

Dingtao here feels obviously much richer than Pingqiu, the houses are neatly built, and the streets are spacious and clean.

Qin Jing and Miss Su nodded secretly, and the two rode horses to the Dingtao Mansion.

"Lord Prefect, the four princes and Su Shen have been brought to the hall."

The young prefect who was working suddenly heard the report from the officials, and his mind was empty for a moment, so he hurriedly got up, "Come with me to greet the fourth prince and Master Su." ”

The young prefect hurried to the hall, but found that it was a man and a woman, although both of them looked extraordinary, but was "Su Shenling" a woman? He was not in Kyoto, and he didn't know that there were female military attachés in Daqian.

After a moment's pause, the young prefect still hurriedly stepped forward, "The lower officials see the four princes, and Su Shen Ling." ”

Qin Jing turned his head to look over, it turned out that Dingtao was so clean and pleasing to be such a young chief officer?

"You are?"

"Xiaguan Du Zhongqiu, the last two imperial examination jinshi, was appointed by His Majesty to Dingtao, and was promoted to prefect three years ago."

"Oh?" Qin Jing seemed to think of something, "You are the youngest Jinshi in the last two sessions, Du Zhongqiu?" I heard that when you were in high school, you were only sixteen years old, and now a few years later, you are only twenty-two years old, right? ”

"Yes, Fourth Prince!"

Some people still remember themselves, and Du Zhongqiu is naturally very happy.

Su Zijin listened to the two of them and glanced at the tender-faced prefect curiously.

For ancient men, being in their twenties was already an age when they could stand up for themselves, but although Du Zhongqiu was old and tall, he looked weak, very tender, and his eyes were big and bright, as if he had just come out of school and had not been polluted by the world.

The face is born from the heart, and the older you get, the more you can know, this sentence is true.

How did this "small" prefect maintain a clean state of mind? ”

Su Zijin couldn't help but be curious.

followed the two to the county government study, a big room, lined with many heavy bookshelves, on which various materials of the Dingtao Mansion were displayed in different categories, Du Zhongqiu skillfully found the bookshelf of the field tax office, and found out the records of the acres of land that Qin Jing wanted.

"This is the original record, and this is the record of reclamation in recent years. There are also circulation records, squire exhibition records, and so on, all here. ”

Qin Jing looked at the clear record, turned his head and glanced at Su Zijin, as if to say, with these, the matter of saving time can be easily achieved?

Du Zhongqiu didn't pay attention to the expression of the fourth prince, and took the things to the only table in the study, scratching his head a little embarrassedly, "This table is what I am used to, there was some shaking noise a few days ago, you make do with it first, and I will ask the official to come over and repair it later." ”

Qin Jing raised his eyebrows, didn't say anything, walked to the table and sat down, "creak", the sound of the wooden table and chairs squeezing out, it was indeed a bit rude.

Su Zijin smiled secretly, and then looked at Du Zhongqiu, "Du Zhifu, is it convenient to take out these materials?" Let's look at it in the lobby, where the light is good. ”

"Naturally," Du Zhongqiu hurriedly said, "I'll fill in the borrowing form first, and we can take it out." ”

As he spoke, Du Zhongqiu found the borrowing table from the table, recorded the books in Qin Jing's hand one by one, and then led the way to the lobby.

After a long time, the three of them came out of the lobby, Qin Jing held the simplified version of the transcription in his hand, and looked at Du Zhongqiu, "The materials of the Du Governor's Mansion are clear, which saves time." After lunch in a while, let's go out of the city and start measuring. ”

When the four princes spoke, Du Zhongqiu was naturally overjoyed and agreed, "After noon, the lower officials are waiting for the four princes at the gate of the city, as well as Lord Su." ”

At this time, it was already noon, that is to say, Du Zhongqiu gave Qin Jing and Su Zijin half an hour to eat, Su Zijin and Qin Jing glanced at each other, "Okay, just listen to Du Zhifu, at the end of noon, meet at the city gate." ”

After a simple lunch, Su Zijin and Qin Jing walked out of the city with their people.

Yesterday, the house was full of fires and ginger soup, so that although everyone blew the wind and snow, no one fell, and today they all started to work energetically.

Du Zhongqiu saw that the work of the four princes was done in an orderly and fast manner, and his eyes were straight, and he said bluntly, "Tomorrow, we should let the agricultural officials come over and have a look, and let them come and learn." ”

The work of the Qingzhang of the Dingtao Mansion was carried out very smoothly, there were no extraneous branches, everyone in the Dingtao Mansion was performing their duties, and the second day began, and sure enough, the agricultural officials came to study, but they also followed behind, and naturally observed and helped. There is no flattery, no obstruction, everything is so natural. In addition, the information of Dingtao Mansion is complete, but in three days, Qingzhang has been completed.

Su Zijin had dinner with Qin Jing this night, and couldn't help but sigh, "I don't see what Dingtao Mansion has done, but each has its own duties and responsibilities, and we can go so smoothly and far exceed the mansions of Chenliu County." ”

Qin nodded, "If you can do your own responsibilities and perform your duties, the prefect of Dingtao Mansion should not be underestimated." Sometimes it's a trivial matter, but it's full of loopholes. In Dingtao Mansion, it is a post station, all of which are very thorough, from small to large, you can see the ability of Dingtao Mansion. ”
