The May sun moved slowly in the clear blue sky, roasting the earth, there was not a trace of wind, and a wave of heat rushed towards him, but Lan Chongwen was unaware.

Just thinking about it, I saw that the yamen was wide open, and He Qi and Lu Ming came out to greet them together, and they stood neatly on the left and right.

"Lord Lan, how can you stand in the day, heat stroke is not a problem, what rules do you still abide by on this day, just go directly to the ya. He Qi waved his hand and said.

Lan Chongwen hurriedly took a step back and saluted in court: "How dare you, this is the rule of the imperial court, the lower officials will meet Lord He, Lord Lu!"

Originally, there was no need to worship the eighth-rank official to the seventh-rank official, but this was the first time they met, so they made a big gift.

When he could get up, Lu Ming held hands affectionately, Lan Chongwen didn't say anything, and entered the Yamen public hall together, and there was already a decree from the officials in the public court.

As soon as I entered, I heard someone say, "The people are all together, please proclaim the order."

The three of them immediately knelt down, and listened to this man read out the official document of the ministry, which did not need to be so solemn, but with the consent of the emperor, they knelt down.

The content in it is very simple, that is, He Qi was promoted to Zhengliupin Cheng Zhilang, which is actually entering the ranks of retirement, and according to custom, he will officially retire after serving for three years.

Lu Ming was promoted to Zhengqipin and became the county magistrate of Pingshou County.

Lan Chongwen was transferred at the same level and became the county leader of Pingshou County.

After getting up, He Qiqing's face was expressionless, he stroked his white beard, his cheeks twitched, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Come on, deliver the letter." ”

Someone was holding a gold plate, with a set of county official uniforms on the plate, and a gold seal pressed on it, and when he saw He Qi, he sent it to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming bowed deeply, took it, and said, "Deliver the seal." ”

Another person was holding a gold plate, on which was a set of county official uniforms, and a gold seal was pressed on it, and it was sent to Lan Chongwen.

The process was so quiet that they didn't hear a phlegm, and seeing that the delivery was completed, the three of them were defeated again towards the north, and when they stood up, it was considered a ceremony.

"Letting go of this burden, it's cooler at last. He Qi stood upright, his slightly puffy eye bubbles twitched, his face was full of tiredness, he sighed, waved his hand again, and said: "Since it is a ceremony, the squires in the county have come to celebrate, let's meet together!"

This is the rule, so that the squires of the county are witnessing the delivery, saying that it is a squire, it is really a meritorious talent above the show, several people looked at each other, He Qi rushed in, entered the hall, and suddenly felt a burst of coolness on his body.

On the ice trough in the hall, there are pieces of ice, which is the treatment that can only be enjoyed above the county order - the ice cubes stored by the Daofa.

When I got inside, I found that there were two rows of cases in the hall, all of which were single cases, and there were about thirty tables on the right side, which was the number of Xiucai in the county.

On the left, there are county officials, and when they see three people coming in, they all salute, but the officials have to meet for the first time, and Xiucai only needs to bow deeply.

After the salute, although He Qi is the sixth grade, he no longer sits on the main seat on this occasion, please land Lu Ming to take a seat, this is the rule, Lu Ming was modest, and sat down, and Lan Chongwen sat on the right side, and saw Yuan Shiwen not far away, and couldn't help but smile.

He Qi glanced at Lu Ming, saw him nodding slightly, and said: "Lord Lu, everyone knows each other, and he is from the same Jinshi, and now he is finally serving as the county honor, which is a great joy... a"

He Qi spoke at length and again, but after listening to this "truth" too much, his ears were calloused, and the people present still suppressed their impatience and listened carefully.

The former county magistrate was a little reluctant, and after talking for a while, he stopped talking...... Only then did I listen to the sip of tea.

Lu Ming was not in a hurry, glanced at the audience, and smiled: "This county has not been a county leader for a long time, and I am not very familiar with it, and I only received a ticket from the ministry yesterday to take up a substantive position." ”

"The county is in charge of politics, only ready to do a few things, the first is to control the county's silver money exchange, silver money has floating, it is a very common thing, but one or two silver can only be exchanged for 800 yuan, it is not normal, this is the money bank, tax collectors, businessmen are all responsible. ”

"The second is to build roads, and the third is to rectify the thieves. ”

The thief warehouse is the meaning of bandits and the underworld, Lu Ming's words are gentle, but in words, every sentence is palpitating, and everyone present can't help but look at each other.

Lu Ming said and looked at Lan Chongwen: "Lord Lan, what do you have to say?"

Lan Chongwen had already made up his mind, and said with a smile: "I was originally a pen clerk, and I am not very proficient in county affairs, so I obeyed the orders of the county honor." ”

As he spoke, he closed his mouth, and Lu Ming smiled: "What I said is that there are many times to rely on you in the future, and now is the time for the banquet, the banquet!"

Under the order, each banquet was served, and under the three respects, each table was lively.

Ye Qing looked up at this time, and saw Lu Ming sitting in the center, his chubby face originally looked very warm, but at this time, it made people feel a kind of cold majesty at any time.

"When I became a county magistrate, the result was different. Ye Qing sighed.

He observes people, and others also observe him, Yuan Shiwen took a middle-aged man, sitting on his side, and when he looked over, he stared at Ye Qing.

After a while, Yuan Shiwen casually went out in the name of Xiao Jie, and when he arrived at the bottom of the courtyard steps, he saw a middle-aged man hurrying over.

Yuan Shiwen walked to a corner of the wall, where wisteria was planted, climbing on the wall, flowers were blooming, the inflorescence was hanging down, the buds were light blue-purple, he stepped forward to smell it, and asked, "Mr. Ma, how is it?"

Mr. Ma lowered his hand and sighed, "At first glance, I can see that the serious pale red natal must have come from the personality of Xiucai, and there is no flaw in it." ”

Yuan Shiwen frowned and said: "Although I am not proficient in this Dao technique, but according to common sense, this son is just the son of the county branch, and it will take half a year to achieve this destiny and not have the slightest flaw, right?"

"The white body is simply pulled up, it can only be half a year to a year, and it takes three years for a higher one, so the imperial court must be promoted every three years. ”

"But extraordinary people have extraordinary lives, not to mention three months, even three days can adapt to a lot, this is the innate noble life. ”

Yuan Shiwen walked slowly, and Mr. Ma followed, this is a large courtyard, the garden is elegant and classic, two rows of side rooms are arranged, and there are people living in it, and the sound of human language can be heard.

Yuan Shiwen leaned over and sniffed it, then went and asked, "Then what kind of noble life is he?"

"I can't see it, not only him, but also other nobles...... You should be aware of the Heavenly Dao ban. Mr. Ma said melancholy.

Originally, it was indeed possible to spy on the heavens, but as early as 300,000 years ago, it was gradually forbidden, and the hope qi could only see the surface, not the depths, and it was said that it was for the smooth operation of humanity.

"It's okay to be able to know these things, it seems that you are not a talented person. Yuan Shiwen smiled: "In this way, if I observe for a while, I can go back to the errand."

"When will you go back?"

"In August, the state will decide whether to win or lose!"

can be examined, let alone a university scholar, even the six princes behind it have to pay attention.

When I returned to the banquet, I heard Lu County's order above laughing and saying: "Ye Xiucai, I heard that your poems are wonderful, why don't you write poems for today's banquet?"

Speaking of this, everyone immediately swept over, this young man, in one fell swoop, was a talented child, and was called "Tongjinshi" by Long Jun, and he was already famous in Yingzhou.

Ye Qing was stunned, but he didn't hesitate, he naturally had poems for the occasion, the most famous "will enter the wine", but this poem is this one, it is used in a sensation in Kyoto, how can it be used in this small county banquet, but Lu County Decree first appeared in the county order, and it is not easy to shirk, thought about it, and said: "Adult, the student has drunk several times in a row, how can he write poems and articles, but he went to the county to take the exam before, and stayed in the countryside halfway, but he got a poem, and please identify it." ”

After speaking, he stood up and groaned through the wine:

Mo laughs at the farmer's wine,

In the harvest year, there are enough chickens and dolphins.

There is no way out of the mountains and rivers,

Another village.

The drums follow the spring society near,

The clothes are simple and ancient.

From now on, if you are allowed to ride the moon,

The staff knocks at the door all the time and night.

After singing this poem, everyone was stupid, and after a long time, Lu Mingcai sighed: "It's really a good poem, especially this mountain and heavy water, and there is no road to doubt, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village, which can be called a famous sentence through the ages." ”

"I met the countryside and forgot the shape, I have seen it myself, but unfortunately this county, in the north of the mountain area, near the evil neighbors, there are people who steal and rob the traitor Kedugan, relying on the eight hundred miles of the North Mountain, and connected with the Northern Wei Dynasty, the government suppressed the bandits, so they fled away, and came back when the wind subsided. ”

"The county just said that there are only a few things to do, the first is to calm the exchange of money, the second is to repair roads, and the third is to rectify the thieves. ”

"It is necessary to govern this Pingshou County as it says in this poem. ”

Everyone had different thoughts, they all toasted the promise, and the atmosphere became more enthusiastic, and in the afternoon, the banquet was dispersed and went out of the yamen.

After getting on the ox cart, Ye Qing was a little drunk, and he was pondering, thinking about this county order.

In his previous life, I remembered that Lu Ming still did some practical things, and the exchange of money and silver was basically done, and it was restored to nine hundred and fifty wen and one tael of silver.

The road repair can be regarded as done, and several official roads have been opened, making the exchanges prosperous, but the rectification of the thief warehouse has not been completed, and it can even be said that half of the heels have been planted, but a bandit group has been oppressed ruthlessly, and there is no way out, and overnight, the big clans in the county have been killed.

Seven large families were bloodbathed, and one hundred and seventy people died, and the case became so big that the imperial court was furious, and within three days, the bandit group was annihilated in the northern mountainous area, and the two hundred and eleven people who were involved with the bandit group were beheaded or exiled, showing the power of the imperial court's control.

And although Lu Ming has political achievements, and there are people behind him, he is still gloomy, and his grade has not been degraded, but he has reached the Qingxian Yamen, not to mention being promoted, and his hard work has been in vain.

But it was this opportunity that there were more vacancies in the county, so that the Ye family could get a higher position and have a few more years to survive when the catastrophe came.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing squinted his eyes and flashed a cold light.
