Chapter Thirty-Nine: Evening County
Zhang Changwei continued to ask:
"Then why did the new prefect come early?"
张洛 says:
"Maybe I already have an understanding of the situation in the county."
"I'm going to take it by surprise."
"If you arrive early, you can get the books, the ledger, and so on."
"Just get your hands on the important stuff."
"The new prefect will be able to find a flaw in this."
"In this way, the prefect will be able to do it in the future."
These words of Zhang Luo.
I don't understand Zhang Wangsheng's two little living treasures anymore.
They are for some of the deep water areas of the county.
There is no awareness at all.
Although Zhang Changwei is also literate in Zhenhaiwei.
Otherwise, Ah Gong Zhang would not let him come to the county seat every time to do business.
But compared to Zhang Luo's mind, it is still a lot worse.
Zhang Wangsheng covered his forehead with a painful expression.
"Those who have read books must be thinking too far ahead."
Zhang Changwei looked at Zhang Luo and asked:
"Brother Zhang Luo, have you ever been an official?"
"No, no one in my family has ever been in the office."
"How did Brother Zhang Luo understand so many details?"
Zhang Luo said with a smile:
"There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book."
"The power of books is great, and many answers can be found in books."
Zhang Wangsheng listened to the circle.
Open your mouth wide and say:
"There are so many treasures in the book?"
Zhang Luo nodded with a smile and said:
"There are countless types of books."
"Some books are dedicated to career matters."
"You little baby, you have to study hard."
"In the future, it doesn't matter if you lead troops or farm."
"There's a book for you to read."
I ordered the little baby a few times.
Zhang Luo saw the prefect in front of him being helped off his horse by the guards beside him.
With a smile on his face, he walked towards the officials who came to greet him.
The new prefect's face was red.
The county officials are headed by the Quanzhou Prefecture Tongzhi.
Tongzhi is followed by Jinjiang County.
Just when the civil officials of the county government were preparing to meet with the prefect.
The Quanzhou Wei commander on the side took the lead and planned to salute.
But the prefect's hand was a little quicker.
stopped the commander who was about to kneel.
"Commander Xu, according to my Ming official law."
"I'm not as good as you."
"It's me who salutes you."
Then.
This new prefect.
Towards Quanzhou for the commander of the two bows.
Seeing this, the Xu Commander was stunned for a moment.
Facing the prefect who bowed, he didn't know what to do.
Until the subordinates behind him reminded.
Commander Xu hurriedly replied with a thank you gift.
Then the new prefect turned to the civil officials.
These civil officials, who were subordinates of the prefect, knelt down and saluted one after another.
But in the crowd of people who are brushing together.
An emaciated middle-aged official had no intention of kneeling.
The Zaza official beside him looked panicked.
The new prefect should establish his prestige.
Why doesn't your own master give face?
The new prefect glanced at it with displeasure.
Picking up the foremost Tongzhi asked:
"He Tongzhi, which official in the county government is that?"
He Tongzhi, who was helped up, wiped his sweat and said:
"Lord Hui, this person is a new scholar not long ago."
I heard that it was an official of the county school in the county.
Almost none of the officials in the county school are ranked.
Although the rank of the student officer is low.
But the Ming Dynasty valued scholars.
The new governor also doesn't want to be unhappy on his first day in office.
But he laughed a few times and said:
"How do you know, do you think that scholar is standing like he is sitting on a rockery?"
"This scholar is really interesting, hahahaha."
He Tongzhi was covered in sweat.
I couldn't go along for a while.
But I heard this scholar say righteously:
"The Ming Dynasty had official laws, and those who asked for things would kneel when they saw the officials."
"It's not an invitation today, so why do you kneel?"
Zhang Luo, who was in the distance, heard the voice of the senior officer.
silently praised him in his heart.
The official law of the Ming Dynasty is mentioned in the "Great Ming Huidian".
When officials meet, they all bow to each other.
But more often than not.
Lower-level officials will kneel when they see their superiors.
Before the new prefect entered the city, he was confronted by an unruly official.
Naturally, the heart is unhappy.
But in front of many officials.
and a school officer.
Wouldn't it be a loss of face for the prefect himself?
The new prefect pretended not to hear.
With the support of civil and military officials, he walked into the county seat.
It's getting late today.
Naturally, it was too late to go to the City God Temple.
The new prefect declined Tongzhi's kindness.
took his family to stay at an inn in the north of the city.
The honor guard of the new prefect of Suoxing entered the city quickly.
Zhang Lu and his gang were still before the city gate was closed.
Entered Jinjiang County.
Walking into the county seat, Zhang Luo lowered his head.
Thinking about the middle-aged scholar who dared to face the prefect just now.
I don't know if there's a chance to meet again.
Zhang Changwei drove the donkey cart and said:
"There is a clansman in Zhenhaiwei who lives in the county seat."
"We'll stay with him tonight."
"Look at the situation of the new prefect today."
"I don't know if the county government will open tomorrow."
Zhang Changwei was a little distressed.
Zhenhaiwei has long passed the deadline for handing over the fine.
I don't know if I will embarrass Zhenhaiwei if I go to Yamen.
And these forty taels of silver.
I always feel unsafe in my pocket all the time.
Zhang Changwei went on to say:
"Tomorrow, Zhang Luo and I will go together to meet the students donated by Zhenhaiwei."
"With his help, Brother Zhang Luo will be able to participate in the children's examination."
Zhang Luo nodded in response.
Several people walked on the main road of the county seat.
This long street is the main road in the county.
The prefect's yamen is at the far end of the street.
The county office is in the middle of the street.
Both sides are lined with a variety of shops.
Jinjiang County is the attached county of Quanzhou Prefecture.
The whole county is still very lively in the evening.
Looking at the ancient buildings of the Ming Dynasty on one side.
Let Zhang Luo feel like traveling in the ancient town again.
From the Song Dynasty onwards, the culture of street shops began to flourish.
Because of the movement of population.
On the streets of the great cities of the past dynasties.
They were all full of shops of all sizes.
Sometimes, because there is not enough space, some businesses will occupy the main road.
As a result, the yamen in the city were driven away.
In the Jiajing period.
Although it still preserves the special market of the Tang Dynasty.
But the eastern and western markets of the Ming Dynasty were all places where large goods were sold.
Ordinary people sell things and buy them from shops on both sides of the street.
Grain shops, butcher shops, fish storage, and vegetable stalls extend all the way.
Zhang Luo also saw the baked cake shop that was about to close.
Zhang Wangsheng and Zhang Xiaowu followed Zhang Luo.
I watched the lively scene in front of me with my eyes wide open.
Zhenhaiwei and the county side are really not a little different.
After walking a few steps, Zhang Luo also saw a sweet shop.
It is hung with the banner of famous sugar in southern Fujian.
Zhang Wangsheng and Zhang Xiaowu smelled the fragrance wafting from the sugar shop.
He swallowed several times.
Zhang Luo looked at the price card in front of the store.
Nodding his head, he said:
"Let's go to the sweet shop!"
A few people walked into this famous sugar in southern Fujian.
In the Ming Dynasty, sugar was considered an expensive snack.
A skinny owner in the store was sitting in a daze.
There are many sugar balls and brown sugar powder on the wooden shelves in the store.
