"That's right, of course I won't embarrass Team Leader Chen.

There are ten taels of silver here, and it is troublesome for Commander Chen to let go of the steward of the county order. ”

Cao Youde took out ten taels and stuffed them into Captain Chen's hand.

Captain Chen took the money, waved his hand, and let Meng Yi go.

With that, he clenched his fists and turned to leave.

He ignored Chen Daomin and Cao Youde.

"It's really unreasonable, this Lingnan Prefecture, it's time to put things in order.

A mere commander of the guard, with no rank, cannot be so contemptuous of the royal family. ”

Seeing this, Chen Daomin yelled at Cao Youde.

"Alas, Brother Chen, don't worry, the people of Lingnan Mansion have always been unruly, I have been here for a while, and I have been trying to maintain a normal heart, and I have long been surprised by this kind of thing.

However, with you, this Lingnan City will definitely soar into the sky, drive out all the flies, and sweep away the previous decline.

My subordinates promise you that I will absolutely obey your orders. ”

Cao Youde saluted respectfully to Chen Daomin.

"It is a blessing in my life to have the help of Brother Cao Xian."

After Chen Daomin finished speaking, he pulled Cao Youde's hand tighter again.

"Nima!" Cao Youde roared angrily.

“...”

Cao Youde shook off Chen Daomin and looked at him coldly:

"Childe, it's not too early, I should send Childe to live elsewhere."

"Okay, then Brother Lao Cao Xian will help."

Chen Daomin traveled a long distance and felt a little tired.

Not long after, under the leadership of Cao Youde, Chen Daomin and his entourage appeared at the door of the county order.

This Lingnan City was built at the beginning, and when it was built, there was already the official residence of this Lingnan Prefecture, and everything was in accordance with the rules.

In the front is the Supervision Department, and in the back is the resting place of the county order's family.

No one has been here and no one has cleaned it over the years, so there aren't many weeds here, but there are already some breakdowns.

Chen Daomin looked at the rest area in the backyard, which was still covered with cobwebs and weeds on the ground, and felt irritated in his heart.

I had some interest in Cao Youde just now, but now it is gone.

"Did the county order send someone to clean it up?"

Chen Daomin said in a calm tone, as if he was deliberately expressing his dissatisfaction with Cao Youde's lack of arrangements in advance.

"Ah, master, don't blame me.

My subordinates have cleaned up this yamen, and you see, the floor of this yamen has been wiped clean by me. ”

Cao Youde said tremblingly.

"Why is it still so broken?"

Chen Daomin could see at a glance that someone had indeed cleaned it up, but it had only been cleaned up, not completely cleaned up.

"Because you're too late, my whole family plus my twelve-year-old girl is only three people in all.

Cao Youde said with an aggrieved face.

"Then where is the official errand of Lingnan Prefecture? Do you still need Brother Cao Xian and his family to do it themselves? “

As soon as Chen Daomin heard that Cao Youde was cleaning it up alone, the anger in his heart dissipated a little, but he still felt that there must be something wrong here.

"Alas, it turns out that this matter has nothing to do with King An."

"Oh?" Chen Xiaobei's expression moved.

"King An has an order that private use is strictly prohibited, and the officials of Lingnan Prefecture are different from officials in other places, and their officials cannot be used to serve themselves.

So, the catchers just cleaned up some places and didn't deal with the backyard things. ”

Cao Youde said 1510.

"Presumptuous, those of us who are officials are all studying at home, burying our heads in books all day long, and the things we have to deal with are all major matters related to the people's livelihood, how can we waste on these trivial things?

From top to bottom, Lord Shangguan asked the people below to clean up the yard, how could it be a private errand! That's ridiculous, isn't it? ”

As soon as he heard King An, Chen Daomin was a rush of blood and anger to his head.

"Subordinates cannot disobey King An's will, and King An's will is still there, and the people below cannot make decisions on their own."

Cao Youde complained.

"Brother Cao Xian, I can't imagine that this Lingnan City is living so hard."

"It's good to have you."

Cao Youde wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve, in fact, he just wanted to hide the smile on his face.

This day's performance is almost worthy of the performance of his life.

"Go and get all these catchers, and I want to see if they can listen to me, and if they don't, they will all be fired."

Chen Daomin seems to want to make a big deal about it.

"Lord Wang, there are only a few errands now, and the rest of the people should rest."

"I see, I know." Cao Youde said.

"Well, you asked them to be invited, and this king wants to hear their opinions."

Chen Daomin was not polite, and walked straight to the seat of the Taishou in the center of the hall, and waited.

"In that case, I can only try."

After speaking, Cao Youde asked a few errands and called a few errands over.

I waited for more than half an hour, and it was not until night fell that the officials arrived.

"What's the matter, calling us at this time?"

In the main hall, a group of catchers were looking at him with an unhappy face.

"I haven't come to visit my lord yet."

Cao Youde finally spoke.

"Hello city lord."

A group of people saluted Chen Daomin with their fists, and then whispered.

"Brute! Look at your little bit of talent! Dignified officials, so sneaky, what kind of system is this!

"You go clean up the back garden."

Chen Daomin put the wooden stick in his hand on the ground and shouted loudly.

"Childe, King An has instructed us not to do anything."

A man who looked like a fast catcher said, clenching his fists.

"Who are you? You are receiving the money from the government, and I am the real principal! ”

Chen Daomin pointed out and pointed at that person.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I am your manager, and everyone calls me Wang Bantou."

Childe might as well go to visit King An, it's not early, and Madame is waiting to go back for lunch next, so she won't stay long. ”

Wang Bantou clasped his fists and saluted, then opened his long legs and left quickly.

The catchers followed in.

"Evil obstacles! A bunch of bastards! Mr. Cao, you have given an order, I will recruit another group of catchers and drive them all away. ”

Chen Daomin's face turned the color of pig liver, and he was short of breath.

"Your Excellency, isn't this a bit excessive?"

Cao Youde persuaded bitterly.

"The last thing in the world is people, and as soon as I announce it tomorrow, these people will flock to it."

Chen Daomin patted his chest and promised.

According to his previous experience, in Daqian, officials are still very popular, and there are even many people who want to mix in the court.

Cao Youde bowed respectfully.

"Childe, otherwise, you can rest in my mansion for a while, and you can settle down in my mansion tomorrow."

Cao Youde gave his opinion.

"Since that's the case, I'll bother Brother Cao Xian."

Chen Daomin saw that the county commander's mansion was so simple, and he was a pampered person, where could he stand this situation, so he readily agreed.

The favorability of Cao Youde in my heart has increased a lot again.

"yes, he's pretty good at talking."

The prefectural residence was rebuilt when the old city was rebuilt, and it is only one street away from the prefectural residence.

Chen Daomin looked at the newly built magistrate's mansion in front of him, his eyes were wide open, full of incredulity.

"What? This is the mansion? “

Chen Daomin said hesitantly.

Looking at the small building with a reinforced concrete structure on the third floor in front of you, in addition to the three words "Lingnan Prefecture Magistrate County Office" on the gate, there is still the slightest shadow of the big cadre office.

"Sir, this is our Yamen in Xinxian County, Lingnan Prefecture, covering an area of not much, with a total of three floors.

The office building in front is divided by floor, and the residential area is in the back. ”

Cao Youde said 1510.

"Please come with me, this is my mansion."

Under the leadership of Cao Youde, Chen Daomin walked into the back of the office, which was even larger than the rest room of the county order.

There is a gazebo, a rockery, and a stream, which is not big, but it should be there.

Chen Daomin had to say that the residence in the county government was compared with his previous residence in the county order, and he felt red.

Cao Youde led Chen Daomin into a reception room in an exquisite garden.

"Your Excellency, tonight, you can rest here, because our accommodation is too shabby, so we didn't treat you well, and I hope that Your Excellency Haihan."

Chen Daomin looked at the white wall, and most of the furnishings and furnishings in it were new things he had never heard of.

Only a very small part of it was something he knew.

This piece of glass mirror on the table, he once saw in the capital, the fierce wife at home, but it cost him more than three months of salary to get such a piece.

What kind of big bed is this, Chen Daomin took advantage of Cao Youde's lack of notice, and patted him gently.

"It's so soft!"

Chen Daomin only felt a warm touch, and before he went to sleep, he could think of the comfort of this bed.

"This gentleman, this is a toilet, after the gentleman goes to the toilet, pull this thread, and you can rinse the dirt.

This is a button for a water heater, and when you turn it on, a stream of warm water will flow out of it, and in a moment you can go to the shower with soap in it. ”

Cao Youde said while giving a detailed explanation to Chen Daomin.

"It's summer, and it's very hot on a hot day, so I've got someone to prepare something cool for you, and if you feel cold at night, cover it."

Cao Youde said, placing a long metal box filled with ice, and a small pile of ice was placed on the box.

"How can there be such a big ice in Lingnan Prefecture?"

Chen Daomin was confused.

You must know that even if the Great Qianguo has a method of hoarding once a year, this place is the northern land after all, and there is not enough reserves at all.

Even in the capital, in winter, the ground is full of frost, and only high-ranking officials and nobles are eligible to enjoy it.

How expensive is it to store ice, why is this county keeper so wasteful?

"This gentleman, this is something that my Lingnan lineage is public, it is my Lingnan lineage, and it is made of saltpeter.

This is King An's idea, and people with a bit of power in Lingnan will use this method to reduce the fire for themselves, and it won't cost much silver taels. ”

Cao Youde said 1510.

"Hmm." Su Qingsang responded.

His Royal Highness King An, the figure of His Royal Highness King An can be seen on the entire ridge.

Chen Daomin hated King An to the core, and he had a headache when he mentioned this.

"Thank you Brother Cao Xian for your love"

Chen Daomin spoke lightly.

At this moment, his heart was broken.

"Where is this prefect, how do you feel that the mansion here is a hundred times better than the mansion?"

As soon as he thought of moving into his old house tomorrow, Chen Daomin felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

The next day, until the sun was three feet old, Chen Daomin didn't get up.

He had never felt this feeling before.

"Do you want to tell Cao Youde and let him decorate in this style?"

Chen Daomin was thoughtful.

After Chen Daomin had breakfast, he said hello to Cao Youde again.

"Chen Gongzi, you should be going to greet King An today, otherwise it will be rude, and it will not be good to fall into other people's words."

Cao Youde next to him spoke.

After a night of events, Cao Youde is now accustomed to Chen Daomin's followers, and he is becoming more and more familiar with his new identity.

He also said this for the sake of Chen Daomin's face.

"Yes, my brother is thoughtful, so please ask my brother to take me over."

Although Chen Daomin said that he worked for the prince, on the surface, he also had to give face.

Inside the main hall.

The place where Li Su and Chen Daomin met was the conference hall.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and then quickly dispersed.

Once he has enough politeness, Chen Daomin will no longer bother Li Su.

Besides, what he is going to do next is likely to be an enemy of Li Su, so there is no need for him to act anymore.

The original few catchers were all fired by him.

Today, as he expected, the notice posted by Cao Youde recruited a group of people again to supplement the government.

Inside the prefectural office.

Chen Daomin summoned all the big and small officials in Lingnan Prefecture to hold a meeting.

This discussion is nothing more than a question.

Cancel all the lawless decrees issued by King An in Lingnan Prefecture that were forcibly enforced by the imperial court.

Chen Daomin didn't expect that when he said this, he didn't resist at all.

The officials of the Lingnan Mansion Lord are like puppets, carrying out their orders.

Do as Chen Daomin instructs.

The first thing to be abolished was the tax on entering the city, and the prefectural decree issued a decree that all caravans entering the city would not have to pay any more taxes.

From that time on, the merchants would pay taxes according to the laws of the Great Cadres.

Secondly, the qualifications of the traffic police have been revoked, and from now on, no one who claims to be a traffic police officer will be allowed to walk around the streets.

All in all, all the rules that Chen Daomin thought were unreasonable were canceled by him.

What was surprising was that Li Su went to Chen Daomin and reprimanded him.

What is he going to do?

It's like a high prince has surrendered.

The "error correction" work in Lingnan Prefecture has been carried out in an all-round way.

Chen Daomin felt that he was very proud, and seemed to hold all the power in Lingnan City in his hands with a snap of his fingers.

His orders were fulfilled in a serious manner, which is why he wrote to the prince as a reward for him.

In this letter, Li Su was full of contempt, as if Li Su did not even have the qualifications to become his enemy, let alone become his enemy.

The letter was soon delivered to the capital.

Chen Daomin can imagine that he has won the favor of the prince, that is, his own creation, and he can be prosperous and prosperous in front of the prince.

King An's Mansion, in the main hall.

At this moment, in this hall, there are already more than ten important people in Lingnan City, and they are all Li Su's right-hand men.

"Lord Wang, why did you send Lao Cao to Chen Daomin, this is our place, you don't need to show mercy to his subordinates."

Qi Yong said angrily.

"You are Chen Daomin's lackey, can you speak well, I have had enough of humiliation."

Cao Youde rolled his eyes and said angrily.

"Qi Shoubei, our prince has done nothing wrong, the prince must have his reasons."

Said a minister.

Most of the people present, including Qi Yong, were called by Chen Daomin to attend the meeting.

The reason why Chen Daomin's order was strictly implemented was because of Li Su's order.

If Chen Daomin was here, he would definitely be dumbfounded, he wanted to make these people surrender, but he didn't expect that these people would come.

Li Su sat down on the main seat, drank fragrant tea, and said lightly.

"Don't worry, let this bullet fly for a little longer."

Prefectural Mansion, Inner Courtyard.

Chen Daomin was sitting on the main seat with a light and breezy look.

In the past month or so, he has abolished the seventeen policies issued by King An to the imperial court.

All orders were strictly followed, and no one objected, no one raised objections, and no one raised objections.

Qi Yong did not attend the court meeting he held, nor did he express his support for King An, but he did not stop his will.

And the expenses for entering the city, which he was in charge of, were also well settled on this day.

Chen Daomin originally thought that when his reputation in Lingnan City stabilized, he would find an opportunity to get rid of him.

A small soldier of the fifth grade can be pinched to death with one hand.

Chen Daomin felt that this was the most comfortable period of his life.

Thinking back to the shame he suffered when he first came to Lingnan Mansion, he had a sense of pleasure in letting out a bad breath.

"Rhetoric is rhetoric, even if he knows some tricks and tricks to govern the people, he can't compare to me."

Chen Daomin thought happily.

"Master, will we be a little impatient to deal with King An?

He is also a prince anyway, and this Lingnan Mansion is his feudal official on the surface.

Do you want to take your time? “

Meng Yi asked worriedly, he felt that this matter was very wrong, very wrong.

"The vassal king is not allowed to interfere in state affairs, this is the rule of the great cadres, but the imperial court will not interfere in state affairs.

My abolition of his order is also in accordance with the rules of the ancestors, since he has a reason, naturally he will not let me do this, you just need to do what I ask, I don't think he will do anything to me.

Although you are just one of my stewards, but as the saying goes, in front of this minister, the seventh rank official, I am also a prince, if you are so cautious, how can you entrust you with important responsibilities in the future?

You have nothing to do in the future to learn more from Cao Youde and learn his way of doing things. ”

Chen Daomin waved his hand, he didn't care, he didn't like Meng Yi to hesitate like this.
