Chapter 6 [Mang County Order]
According to Zhang Jingxu's thoughts, Yicheng County Ling should be a figure with a city government.
The reason is very simple, the order of a county is not trivial, if it is replaced by the level of later generations, it is a well-known county official.
The power of this official position is not small!
Not only control the livelihood of the people, but also hold the personnel and financial power, since ancient times, the number one political, say you can do it, you can do it, not okay, the sky is high The emperor is far away, and the county order is the emperor of the soil.
Therefore, in Zhang Jingxu's thoughts, a character like the county order must be deep in the city, even if he is not cunning, at least he can be far-sighted.
But Zhang Jingxu couldn't believe that this Yicheng County Order was completely beyond his cognition.
Elegant official?
Not at all!
The city is deep?
It's a joke.
However, he said that it was early the next morning, and Zhang Jingxu rushed to the county seat early, because it was the first time to meet Shangguan, so he deliberately brought a gift.
The gift is an ancient book, a unique book specially selected from a bookstore in the city.
Although it is a unique book, the thing is not expensive, it only costs fifty yuan, but it is a good gift for the first time.
After all, it's an ancient book, and it looks elegant to give gifts.
After arriving at the county office, the rules and regulations were announced, and soon a housekeeper looked like a butler came out, and said with a smile on his face: "Is this Zhang Zhutou?" My county lord is waiting for you in the back house......"
Zhang Jingxu hurriedly gave up his hand, and said with a smile on his face: "Disturb early in the morning, and look at Haihan." ”
He handed the ancient books forward, and said with a smile again: "The contemptible people were confused in the past few years, and they have not become normal people until the last few days, so the family is very poor, and the first time I visited, I really had no money to buy my mind, but fortunately, I accidentally got an ancient book, and I brought it to the county to appreciate and ......appreciate it."
The words were so beautiful that the county housekeeper was in awe, but soon his face was strange, as if he couldn't cry or laugh: "It's actually a book?" Or an ancient book? Zhang Zhutou, you really chose a 'good gift'. ”
Zhang Jingxu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but say, "Isn't it too abrupt and inappropriate?" Is the county so honest that he refuses to even accept a book? ”
The housekeeper still seemed to be crying and laughing, and shook his head again and again: "No, no, no, that's not what it means, although my county respects honesty and self-purity, but the small gifts of human affection will still be accepted, but... It's just ......"
Zhang Jing's heart moved: "That is, the gift I chose is not to my liking." ”
This time, the housekeeper did not answer, but smiled again, and stretched out his hand again and again to invite: "The person who comes is a guest, Peng Sheng is shining, Zhang Zhutou, let's go here, my county lord is already waiting for you in the back house." ”
Instead of answering, he was invited in, and it was obvious that the butler was aware of his identity, so he was unwilling to lose his word on the issue of gifts.
Zhang Jingxu became more and more curious, and had some kind of guess in his heart. It seems that the Yicheng County Order is not the kind of city he thinks.
Under the leadership of the housekeeper, he quickly crossed the front yard of the county government, and when he passed the middle courtyard, he saw some people at the door of the wing room full of people who probed their brains.
The Yicheng County Ya is divided into three entrances, the front is the yamen hall representing the government, the middle courtyard is the various wings for handling government affairs, and the back yard at the back is the residence of the county order family according to the convention.
This situation is the same all over the world, the residence of the county order must be in the back house of the county government, and no other house can be purchased, at least on the surface.
However, it was said that Zhang Jingxu, under the leadership of the housekeeper, finally arrived at the back house of the county government, and as soon as he entered the back house, the scene in front of him made him stunned.
I saw that in a pavilion in the courtyard, there was an antique desk, and there was a simple incense burner on the table, and the smoke was wafting in the air.
Very cultural artistic conception.
But when I looked closer, something suddenly didn't taste right.
I saw a burly man standing in front of the desk, his face was full of flesh and looked very fierce, and he was opening his eyes angrily at this time, gritting his teeth viciously.
The burly man had a brush in his hand.
It was a very delicate brush, and the barrel of the pen was made of white jade, and if the literati saw this kind of pen, they would probably be willing to exchange their lives for it.
However, such a precious and delicate pen seemed to hold a knife in the hands of the big man, and the muscles all over his body bulged, as if he was not lifting a pen but preparing to fight.
The next moment, I heard the big man break off, and finally dipped the pen in the ink, and poked it viciously.
The most important thing is that the big man also scolded in his mouth: "Gan Niang, the tenth deputy." ”
The tip of the pen poked down hard......
Zhang Jingxu was dumbfounded when he saw this action.
He couldn't believe that someone would poke down the pen.
At this moment, the housekeeper's faint voice sounded in his ears, as if he was helpless, and seemed embarrassed: "The task given by the elders of the county family must write a thousand pairs of words this year, and in addition, I have to draw a thousand pictures......
The housekeeper sighed as he spoke, his voice was like a dream, and he said more and more depressedly: "And it has to be a landscape painting with elegant artistic conception." ”
Write?
Paint?
Must also be elegant?
Is it possible to go down viciously?
Zhang Jingxuan was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
After a long time, he reluctantly accepted the scene in front of him, and finally opened his mouth to humbly ask for advice, pointing to the big man in the pavilion and saying, "The county respects him, this is... This is writing or drawing. ”
The housekeeper had a sad face and sighed again: "Looking at the posture, it is probably painting...... Let's do it! ”
The tone turned out to be the taste of speculation.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the big man in the pavilion laughing wildly, and it seemed that he had finally completed the painting task, so he looked very proud and proud, and said from afar: "Is Zhang Zhutou here?" Come to the gazebo and talk...... Aha, by the way, appreciate the new ink treasure of this official. ”
"Appreciate your ink?" Zhang Jingxu took a deep breath and walked into the pavilion with a smile on his face.
After entering the pavilion, the rugged man laughed again, and he didn't have time to speak, so he first asked Zhang Jingxu urgently: "Zhang Zhutou, take a look, how is this ink treasure of this official." ”
As he spoke, he dragged Zhang Jingxu to the desk with a white face.
This is a posture that cannot be done without appreciation.
Helpless, Zhang Jingxu could only hold his breath and condense, his eyes sank, and fell on the desk.
The next moment, the words of praise came out spontaneously: "This picture painted by adults... Ahem... This picture of distant mountains and green seclusion really has the artistic conception of empty valley and elegance. ”
Just this compliment, the rough man in front of him suddenly fell silent. seems to be stupid, and the artistic conception is stunned on the spot.
And the butler who followed him into the pavilion let out a wry smile of helplessness.
The atmosphere in the gazebo suddenly froze.
After a long time, I heard the rough man speak, and did not ask Zhang Jingxu, but asked the middle-aged housekeeper: "Uncle Liu, tell you the truth, can I see that this painting is a landscape painting?" ”
The housekeeper hesitated for a long time, and said to reassure: "It's good to work hard, painting requires talent." As for the pair on the table, Uncle Liu knows that what you want to draw is the intention of the phoenix......"
Phoenix Pride intentions?
Zhang Jingxu next to him was stupid!
At this time, I felt that it was dark in front of me, and a big face full of horizontal flesh came up, and I saw that the rugged county commander's eyes were full of eagerness, and his eyes were very expectant and asked: "Zhang Zhutou, you are also telling the truth, do you think I am painting a landscape or a phoenix?" ”
After asking, without waiting for Zhang Jingxu to answer, he hurriedly pointed to the painting on the table, and carefully introduced: "Look at you, you see, this is obviously the majestic and vast torso of the phoenix here......"
However, Zhang Jing's eyes fell there, no matter how he looked at it, he could only see a large black mass smeared with ink, and just now he barely relied on association, thinking that the painting was a majestic green mountain.
The county magistrate was anxious, and pointed to another place with a roar, and introduced again: "Also, here are the two divine wings of the phoenix that cover the sky. ”
Two divine wings?
Still huge?
Zhang Jingxu was silent!
He barely relied on the association just now, thinking that it was two large clouds in the mountains.
I can't talk about it this day.
The first time I met Shangguan, I was embarrassed.
……
The awkward atmosphere in the gazebo lasted for a dozen or so respites.
Finally, the county magistrate suddenly burst out laughing.
He stretched out his hand to pick up the painting, crumpled it viciously, and then threw it out heavily, as if he was a little refreshed: "it, Lao Tzu already knew that he was not this material." ”
After throwing away the painting, he turned to look at Zhang Jingxu, gave a thumbs up suddenly, and praised: "Zhang Zhutou is good, he is a outspoken person, unlike Uncle Liu and others, who always fool me with their heads." ”
Zhang Jingxu was still a little embarrassed: "I was clumsy, and I couldn't see that the adult drew a phoenix." Please atone for your sins, I should first ask the adults what they drew before commenting. ”
The county magistrate laughed again, and waved his hand indifferently: "This just shows that you are unwilling to flatter me, and it seems that you are a decent gentleman." ”
Zhang Jingxu is not easy to take care of, so he can only cooperate and pose as a righteous gentleman.
Suddenly, the hairy monkey of the county order came up again, and two big eyes like copper bells stared directly at Zhang Jingxu.
The tone seemed to be a little worried, and it seemed to be Yin Yin's advice: "But Zhang Zhutou, a righteous man and a gentleman will suffer." Especially if you agree to become the head of the county government, I am afraid that some people will not like it...... In the future, I am afraid that I will be often troubled. ”
Zhang Jingxu's heart moved, but his face was silent, but he smiled elegantly and casually, and asked politely: "I don't know what the county lord said about the trouble, how will the person make things difficult for me?" ”
said that he didn't wait for the county order to answer, and said with a smile: "Even if there is difficulty, so what?" Since he has promised to become the head catcher, he will be the person of the Yicheng County Ya from now on. With your big tree covering, why not the wind and rain? ”
This is the basic skill of officialdom to deal with!
Strike a posture, get closer to the backstage, show your will, and firmly choose which team to stand on.
Sure enough, the county magistrate was stunned for a moment, and then looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Hahaha, that's right, since it's a person from the county government, the official naturally has to cover ......."
"The group of goods in the Divine Family's Mansion with eyes above the top, I want to see how they make things difficult for you. If it's too ugly, then let's fight ......."
God's Mansion?
Zhang Jingxu's heart moved again, and he secretly remembered this matter deeply.
At this time, the voice of the housekeeper Uncle Liu sounded in his ears, faint and deep like an old dog in the shadows: "The Divine Family's Mansion is strong, and it is unreasonable to be three points, but I don't know how to carry out the future errands after Zhang Zhutou joins the company?" ”
The hairy monkey of the county order also came up with a big face, his eyes were full of expectation and curiosity, and he asked, "Yes, what are you going to do Zhang Zhutou?" ”
Looking at the gaze of the county magistrate and the housekeeper, Zhang Jingxu smiled slightly, and his tone was calm and unremarkable, as if he was repeating: "Didn't the county lord already say it just now?" If they're too ugly, hit ......"
People who mix officialdom are the most taboo at both ends of the head and mouse, since they choose to join the county government as the head catcher, then the other force is the opponent.
God's Mansion!
What a name!
It is said that not only is he in charge of the power of worshipping gods and eliminating ghosts, but also has to dictate the local people's livelihood and government affairs, to put it bluntly, everything is because of interests.
The reason is very simple, whether it is to worship God and eliminate ghosts or the livelihood of local people, there are merits to be taken, and they are all great benefits......
Unfortunately, Zhang Jingxu also needs to earn merit.
Therefore, he has to fight for this interest.
But how to fight?
The way of officialdom is nothing more than grabbing power and merit, so simple, that's it.
In order to refine the magic weapon as soon as possible, merit is everything for Zhang Jingxu, not to mention that the Divine Dependent's Mansion is blocking his way, even if the gods descend to earth, they will be killed.
I have a fairy grass that needs to be shaded from the sky.
The mysterious grass that is getting closer and closer, Zhang Jingxu already faintly feels that it can be used a little......
That's his confidence!
