Thinking so in his heart, Zhang Yifan saw the big fat man panting and leading the way in front of him, while still introducing the situation in Xiangshan County along the way, his impression of this big fat man finally got a little better.

After all, he didn't want to be the one who was said by Shen Gongbao.

By the time we arrived at the gate of the county government, the sun had already set, leaving only the red clouds in the west.

The hour is getting late.

However, inside and outside the county office, the floor is cleaned and clean, and all kinds of people are performing their duties, opening the middle door to welcome the horses and princesses.

Seeing this, Zhang Yifan said to the classics: "Although I don't like extravagance and waste, you have a heart after all." Disperse early, go back to rest, and wait for tomorrow afternoon, and then come to the yamen to discuss matters! ”

Hearing this, the big fat man was slightly stunned, and then immediately showed a smile and happily said a few polite words. He also sternly explained to those who served in the county government before leaving.

Qi Xiang took his subordinates to go to the county government to shop all the time, and then came out to tell him that Qi Xiang let the horse and the princess in.

Prior to this, Zhang San and the others had also left with great gratitude.

When night fell, Zhang Yifan and his entourage set up two large tables in the courtyard of the back office, and everyone dined together.

Of course, one of the tables is basically Qi Xiang's subordinates, after all, there are ten people.

Zhu Jingjing saw that everyone had eaten almost enough, so she smiled and said to Zhang Yifan: "I really can't see it, that fat man is quite thoughtful." Everything here is quite complete, and it's okay! ”

The inside and outside of the back office have all been inspected, especially the place where Zhang Yifan and Zhu Jingjing rested, Qiu Ju checked it carefully, and told Zhu Jingjing about the situation. Therefore, Zhu Jingjing has this statement.

Zhu Wu, who was at the same table, heard this, and said with a smile: "When I heard that the concubine and the princess were coming, I would definitely do my best." This impression is good, and they will be able to speak a little harder to the outside world in the future. I followed His Royal Highness King Yan out, and I often encountered this kind of thing. ”

He said it a little more vaguely, if he said it bluntly, it was the horse and the princess who came over, and they didn't hug their thighs because of brain disease. As long as you can hold the thighs of the pony and the princess, the backstage will be hard!

Zhang Yifan nodded when he heard it, don't say it, if there is such a person who stutters and arranges everything for you properly, it feels really good!

If you are like Fang Keqin, the prefect of Guangzhou Prefecture, you can't even afford to have a meal; Or like the county order of Panyu County, it was just a gift, and he didn't even give a glass of water.

If these two were here, they might still be busy settling down, and they wouldn't have to eat and drink so early and not have to worry about sleeping at night.

It's not unreasonable for the emperor to like traitors!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yifan couldn't help but shake his head, looking at where he wanted to go.

So, he looked at Qi Xiang at the same table and asked him, "Then what are the next arrangements on your side?" ”

This has been escorted to the ground, and Qi Xiang has completed the task. After getting along for so long on the road, it can be regarded as establishing a certain relationship, and you always have to ask about the situation.

When Qi Xiang heard this, he replied with a serious expression: "The others will stay in the county government to listen to the dispatch of the horse and the princess, and I will take the two of them to the Guangdong Metropolitan Division tomorrow to report, so that the military supplies can be prepared there, and then I will come back and find a place in Xiangshan County to build a military camp, recruit soldiers, and set up a thousand households." ”

After saying this, he paused and added: "The last general of this thousand households is located in Xiangshan County, which is also not under the local management, and his responsibility is only to protect the safety of Xiangshan County, but military supplies need to be allocated by the local government. If the pony needs to do something, just ask! ”

Zhang Yifan nodded when he heard this, Qi Xiang and the others are Zhu Yuanzhang's personal guards, and this time they came with him, obviously to protect themselves, and like Xiangshan County, it is reasonable not to be under the local control.

It's okay like this, with Qi Xiang here, he can be regarded as his own person, so no matter what he does, he has confidence.

Thinking so in his heart, he also said to Qi Xiang: "If you need anything over there, just ask!" ”

Hearing this, Qi Xiang really picked up the topic and said: "Your Majesty said that the concubine will implement a new policy in Xiangshan, which also includes the fact that military households are not hereditary, but adopt a conscription system. Therefore, the subordinates of the last general will also need the help of the county government to recruit them when the time comes! ”

"......" Zhang Yifan was stunned when he heard it.

But when he came to his senses, he accepted it. After all, it was he himself who raised it in that recital, the danger of professional hereditary access.

So, Zhang Yifan smiled and said, "Okay, I know!" ”

After that, after another conversation, we all rested.

After a long journey, I encountered a typhoon passing through again, and I was tired after all.

However, this is a strange environment after all, Zhu Jingjing turned over the pancakes a few times and couldn't sleep, and found that Zhang Yifan didn't sleep either, so he talked to him and said, "Brother Fan, you have a lot to do, so what are you going to do next?" ”

Zhang Yifan really couldn't sleep, not because he was in an unfamiliar environment, but because he was under pressure.

It is indeed not so easy to be an official in ancient times.

According to the experience introduced to him by Fang Keqin, the governor of Guangzhou Prefecture, there are many doorways.

Let's just say that in the county office, the county clerk and the chief secretary are the most likely to fight with the county order, and they have confidence. Even if it is a classic history that does not enter the stream, it is okay.

The county order cannot directly appoint and dismiss them, only the power of evaluation, and the appointment and dismissal must depend on the superiors and the officials.

In addition, there are also those officials, commonly known as knife and pen officials, who are in charge of the copywriting work of the county government, and they are also a force. It can even be said that how the county is governed has a lot to do with them. The affairs of the prefectural order must also be implemented through them.

In addition, the errand officers of the county government, such as the third shift, that is, the fast catch, etc., also play an important role in the county governance. If they collude with thieves and the like, the impact will be significant.

In addition to the county government, there are also external forces, such as gentry, nobles, clans, etc., which can also influence the county order to govern.

Don't say anything else, let's just say that the Panyu County in the next county is Lingdaotong, he has a headache, there is a squire under his rule, not only rich, but also married his daughter to Yongjiahou. made Yongjiahou inquire about Panyu several times, which caused great trouble to Daotong.

If according to the historical development, the contradiction between Daotong and Yongjiahou will intensify, and in the end, Daotong died in the hands of Yongjiahou, and Yongjiahou was whipped to death by Zhu Yuanzhang!

Finally, the bandits in the territory, the big thieves or something, also affect the administration of the county order. If there are these in the government, the evaluation will definitely not be good, and it will be even more difficult to be promoted.

Of course, all of this is for the general prefectural ordinance.

Specific to Zhang Yifan himself, most of them are not a problem.

He is not a real county magistrate, just because of his identity as a colt, even Yongjiahou can't trouble him casually. Not to mention, he didn't expect to do a good job of this county order to be promoted, but just to test whether his idea was reasonable or not.

After thinking about it for a while, he hugged Zhu Jingjing and said: "I'll see how this classic history is, if it's really okay, then I'm going to use him, let him combine the actual situation of Xiangshan County, and give me suggestions, it's better to start this new policy!" ”

In fact, he had already thought about how to do things before he came. However, after all, he had never actually been such an ancient official, so if there was a better way, he would certainly use a better way.

Zhu Jingjing listened, and while drawing circles on him boringly, he said: "Brother Fan, if I can help you, you must speak, as long as you don't show up, I believe my father won't say anything!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yifan looked down at her forehead and said, "Isn't this a new deal for me?" If you really want to show your face, what's wrong with doing things like a man? Unless I don't need your help, but I suspect I will need your help! ”

"That's okay, as long as you can help Brother Fan, my father will scold if he wants to." When Zhu Jingjing heard this, she also became excited and said, "At least I can write and draw, right?" ”

"That's right!" Zhang Yifan listened, patted her on the back, and gave affirmation.

"Brother Fan, I want to listen to the story and sleep!" Zhu Jingjing suddenly yawned and said, "This protagonist is Zhang Xiaofan, can the heroine change her surname to Zhu?" “

"......" Zhang Yifan was speechless when he heard it, it seemed that it was really similar, why didn't he think of it before.

………………

While they were telling stories and sleeping, a group of people had just dispersed in a big mansion in Xiangshan County. If Zhang Yifan sees it, he will feel familiar.

Because most of these people are people who greeted him at the junction of Xiangshan County and Panyu County.

The owner of this house, a big fat man, did not get up to see off the guests, but still sat on the main seat thinking about things.

This fat man is none other than Ma Ruhai, the classic historian of Xiangshan County.

His butler, seeing him meditating, saw him meditating, and said carefully, "Sir, are you worried about that colt?" ”

Seeing Ma Ruhai looking up at him, he immediately said, "What is he worried about?" is such a big person, he has no experience at all, and it wasn't that the master coaxed him with a few words! ”

Ma Ruhai listened, shook his head and said, "Originally, I thought that he would not arrive today, at least he would stay in Guangzhou for a day, or even longer." ”

He knew that Yongjiahou and the political envoy were going to welcome the horse and the princess, but he was not qualified to go.

According to his thoughts, the concubine and the princess must have a good social party in Guangzhou, or have a good rest in Guangzhou, eat and drink well, and then come to Xiangshan County.

As a result, I didn't expect that looking at this trip, it seemed that I didn't wait at all, and asked Yongjiahou to put Minzhuang back.

I heard Ma Ruhai say to his housekeeper: "As soon as I heard those people Zhuang say it, I knew that it was not good, I had made some preparations before, and I could only deal with it today." ”

Speaking of this, after a pause, he seemed to continue to say to the butler, but it was more like he was sorting out his thoughts: "This colt seems to want to do something, so he refused the stammering of the Guangdong officials, and asked Yongjiahou to release him, and asked about the disaster as soon as they met." Such a person has no city government, but he can serve well. I'm afraid that those who are older will be easy to do it secretly! ”

"That's right!" When the housekeeper heard this, he hurriedly patted his ass and said, "Just a little kid, how can he escape from the master's grasp!" ”

When Ma Ruhai heard this, he immediately frowned and said: "Don't say such disrespectful words in the future, he is a concubine, favored by the emperor, and we still have to rely on him." If you are disrespectful in your heart, it is easy to show your stuff when you look back and do things, understand? ”

"Yes, yes, the master has taught me a lesson!" When the housekeeper heard this, he quickly admitted his mistake.

But in his heart, he was still a little disapproving.

Today, he also saw the colt, and the hair on his mouth didn't grow, how much ability could he have?

"Today I slept alone by myself, and I didn't go to any lady!" Ma Ruhai thought for a while and said, "These few days are the key, I have to cheer up and deal with the horse, find out his temper and character, so that it will be easier to serve him well!" ”

The housekeeper listened and hurriedly agreed.

"Oh, yes!" After Ma Ruhai stood up, he thought of something, and then instructed the housekeeper, "You have to send more people near the county office, not people we trust, don't let them get close to the county office!" Lest people talk too much and leak anything! ”

"Don't worry, master, I'll send more people tomorrow!" When the butler heard this, he immediately replied obediently.

"And!" Ma Ruhai remembered something again, so he asked again, "What's the matter with those Minzhuang who came back with the horses?" Have you checked it? ”

"Back to the master, those people are all from Renhoufang, and they were arrested when they wanted to escape on the construction site, so they were hanged and beaten by Yongjiahou. When the horse saw that they could not walk, he took them back with kindness. Other than that, there is no other relationship. ”

Ma Ruhai listened, frowned and thought for a while, and finally ordered: "In case of accidents, you will send someone over tomorrow to see the situation, and if there is a problem, give some money and ask for a safe one!" ”

"Master, do they all have to give money?" When the housekeeper heard this, he suddenly said a little reluctantly, "These days, for this donkey, the house really spends money like running water, if the second master knows, what should he do when he asks back?" ”

"If this money is invested, if you can hold the horse as a backstage, then it will be earned no matter what!" When Ma Ruhai heard this, he said without hesitation, "If the second child comes back, I will explain it to him, you don't have to worry about it." ”

"Yes, sir!" The butler listened, and could only agree obediently.

But he thought in his heart, the second master values money very much, and it may not be so easy to persuade, why should a few mud legs give money?

And just like that, the night passed quickly.

Zhang Yifan's side will not be like Zhu Yuanzhang, who gets up and goes to work before dawn.

Therefore, yesterday, he had asked that the discussion be held again in the afternoon of the next day.

Anyway, sleep until you wake up naturally, that's the principle!

The next day, Qi Xiang couldn't wait for the horse to get up, so he rushed to the Guangdong capital first.

After noon, Da Niu suddenly came over from the front office excitedly and said, "Brother Fan, the old men of the classic history are here, waiting for you!" ”

When Zhang Yifan saw it, he couldn't help frowning.
