Chen raised his head and glanced at Qi Yaoyao and said, "The previous dynasties were stipulated in this way, and the family members were not allowed to visit him. In addition, the transportation was inconvenient. The magistrate worked hard all year round. Only the sealing period was the twelfth lunar month to the 20th of the first lunar month of the following year was the sealing period. It was the magistrate's one-month holiday for the magistrate. The county town, chief clerk, clerk, etc. could handle the daily official duties of the county government." Then he said happily, "It has been changed now. I am afraid that the family will rely on the name of the county magistrate to harm the village and are allowed to take office."

"I see that the county magistrate has just arrived and has just taken office, so he has no confidants!" Qi Yaoyao said casually, tearing the quilt.

Chen put down the soles of the shoes in his hand and looked at her for thought and said, "I just came here, my butt is not hot yet! I am not familiar with human affairs!" He curled his lips and said, "The population in this county is small, with only more than 20,000 people, and there are not many people in the county government. Many of them hold multiple positions. Our Lu Ming not only has documents but also has a family! The annual salary is twelve taels of silver!"

After saying that, Chen picked up the sole of the shoe again and continued to accept it.

The most famous disciple, Leng Zixing! Qi Yaoyao said in his heart.

The gate is separated from the second hall of the county government and the courtyard gate of the lobby. This courtyard gate is called the house gate.

The door of the house is the throat that leads to the inner house. There are door rooms on both sides, which are the residence of the gatekeeper.

Menzi takes turns on duty day and night, and idle people are not allowed to enter.

This ovary is both a communication room and a security department.

Although Menzi has a low status, he does have the power of the magistrate's confidant, and it is inevitable that there will be people asking for help from him.

But if you want to meet a magistrate, you must have a disciple. Although the annual salary is not high, many visitors often bribe him for convenience. Otherwise, if you are turned away from him, you will not even meet the magistrate, so don’t mention doing anything.

This is the historical reason why modern people call "going around the door".

In a country with an official position, there are many common features in the officialdom in ancient and modern times.

"Not many." Qi Yaoyao smiled when she heard this.

It is indeed quite a lot. With the ancient standard of living, twenty taels of silver can support the family!

Qi Yaoyao took off all the sides of the quilt, took off her shoes, sat cross-legged on the straw mat, continued to remove the quilt, thought for a while and asked, "Is there a river nearby?"

"What do you want to do?" Chen looked up at her and said, the speed of work in his hands did not slow down at all.

"Catch fish!" Qi Yaoyao's dark eyes were full of smiles and said as expected, "Since the salary is not enough, you have to find a way yourself, right!"

"That fish is not delicious, it's too fishy." Chen curled his lips in disgust.

"How is it possible? Although there are a little more thorns, the fish meat is tender and the fish soup is delicious." Qi Yaoyao looked at her in surprise and said.

Chen Shi looked at her with clear eyes and thought, "That's what you eat. When we ordinary people eat, we should sprinkle salt at most. Of course, the taste is not very good."

"Don't add pepper, star anise, cumin, cinnamon, meat gran, cloves, and perilla." Qi Yaoyao said the most commonly used seasonings in one breath.

"Oh! It turns out that if they are put, the fish will not smell so much." Chen said suddenly, looking at her with great enlightenment, looking at her cute nodding like pounding garlic, and said ruthlessly, "But there are no these seasonings."

"No?" Qi Yaoyao suddenly raised his voice and said in disbelief.
