110 Four new county magistrates are invited to take office
The next day, Pingwang Mansion.
It's noon and the sun is shining on your butt.
Chu Tianxiu was drunk all night and was lazy in the study and was resting on vitamin D.
Zuer, holding an official uniform, rushed into the study excitedly. Seeing his son-in-law's indecent sleeping position, his face turned red and he quickly covered him with a quilt.
"Son-in-law, get up quickly! There is something good!"
She shook Chu Tianxiu's arm and said.
"What's wrong!"
Chu Tianxiu got up in a daze, but saw Zuer holding a set of county magistrate's uniforms in her hand, and she couldn't help but be surprised.
"Early this morning, the court sent someone to send the county magistrate's uniform, as well as the county magistrate's seal and the appointment documents of the Prime Minister's Office.
From now on, you will be the magistrate of Danyang County and can order the county government and the people."
Joo said happily.
"Ah, this means, am I going to leave for office soon?"
Chu Tianxiu scratched her head.
To be honest, he was used to staying in the bustling place of Jinling City and was actually not very interested in the magistrate of Danyang County.
He participated in the palace examination and only wanted the position of a county magistrate, which highlighted that his son-in-law was not a vain person... As for the county magistrate's work, what does it have to do with him!
After leaving Jinling City, it is the countryside.
Although Danyang County is less than a hundred miles away from Jinling City, it is just under the feet of the emperor. But what is the difference between such a small county with a population of 3,000 and a remote village?
He didn't want to go if he was left in the dilapidated county government.
"The new county magistrate appointed by the imperial court must arrive at the office before the 'Rain Water' solar term on the 26th day of the first lunar month to hand over the old county magistrate, and preside over the farming, tilling, ditches and fertilization of the county. Apart from farming and tax collection, there is actually not much to do.
However, Danyang County is just next to Jinling City. Going to the county is similar to an outing, and it takes only half a day to ride a horse.
The Lantern Festival has just been released today, and there are ten days left before the 26th day of the first lunar month. You can set off today. If you don’t want to go too early, you can go later.”
Joo said.
"Oh, then it's late! I've gone there anyway."
Chu Tianxiu nodded in understanding.
This is completely different from the court ministers who manage hundreds of counties and thousands of counties, and they have endless government affairs from morning to night.
In a small county in the local area, there is actually no big deal. It is mainly to preside over the farming work of a county, collect taxes, and so on, so that the local people will not go hungry.
Others, such as governance and lawsuits, are all trivial matters of sesame and mung beans.
Even if he is a county magistrate, there is no problem with him. Naturally, there are county magistrates and other minor officials in the yamen who are rushing to serve.
...
Since Danyang County is so close, Chu Tianxiu is of course not in a hurry to take office. There are still ten days left, enough for him to run back and forth five times.
Chu Tianxiu and Joo had breakfast together.
Breakfast is water tofu.
After Zuer took the secret book of the King of Huainan to the kitchen of the Prince Ping's Mansion, the manager thought his son-in-law wanted to eat the tofu, so he drove it out overnight.
Chu Tianxiu looked at a bowl of water tofu, adding sugar, spicy oil, fried beans and side dishes.
He didn't know whether to sigh or be speechless.
Familiar and unfamiliar!
He ate tofu from two thousand years ago.
"Come on, son-in-law opens his mouth!"
Zuer scooped a spoonful of them and fed them to the son-in-law, the big playboy.
Chu Tianxiu tasted a few bites of each bowl.
Zuer couldn't help but ask curiously: "Son-in-law, which flavor do you like to eat? I can tell the kitchen to prepare every morning."
Chu Tianxiu smiled and said, "I love them all, this is called sharing rain and dew, impartiality! Avoid resentment from them!"
"Hmph~!"
Zuer was shy and spat.
Suddenly, Di'er came to the study and reported, "Son-in-law! Dong Xianliang, Chao Fangzheng, the lord's father Yan, and the three county magistrates, come together to visit him and ask for a visit!"
"Oh, why are the three of them coming together? Let them come to the study!"
Chu Tianxiu was a little surprised.
moment.
Three new county magistrates are here.
All three of them couldn't wait to put on brand new official uniforms, with joy and spirits on their faces. After putting on the official uniforms, they immediately gained some official power.
Chu Tianxiu said in surprise: "You are wearing all your official uniforms. Are you planning to take office today?"
"This is not, I just can't help but want to put it on first and see what this county magistrate feels!"
Dong Xianliang laughed and said, "We collected the official uniforms, seals and documents early in the morning. We invited each other to choose a good day and go to the county magistrate together. I wonder, the little marquis is ready, when will we set off?"
Chu Tianxiu thought about it, too.
He, the little marquis, had no feelings for this little county magistrate.
But the three of them were civilians and finally became officials. Although they were small county magistrates, they were full of energy and did not want to delay the day and could not wait to take office.
"Little Marquis, the three of us come to find you together, just to invite each other to have a good day and go to the post together."
The Lord's father's spirit is full of energy.
"I haven't planned to go when I go. I guess it will be two days before the rain. By the way, I don't know where you three will serve as county magistrates?"
Chu Tianxiu asked.
"I am in Moling, Danyang County! Brother Chao is in Wuhu! Master, brother, are in the lake. They are all in Danyang County."
Dong Xianliang said.
"Why are they all arranged in Danyang County? These four counties seem to be about one day away from Jinling City. Moreover, the conditions of these four counties seem to be the same."
Chu Tianxiu is strange.
Li Yu is Princess Danyang, but she is a princess of another surname. Her fiefdom is smaller than that of the Xiang family, and she only has a fiefdom in Danyang County.
The arrangement of the imperial court is very unusual!
"The county magistrate was arranged by the Prime Minister's Office... But after my mentor revealed that it seemed that this was the emperor's instructions. The original county magistrate was transferred away and we were arranged."
Dong Xianliang Chen [Dingdian Novel www.booktxt.xyz] chanted.
Chao Fangzheng smiled and said, "It's more to say that we were seen by the emperor differently. The emperor's actions made it easier for us to summon us to Jinling at any time.
We are taking office this time to get political achievements. As long as we make political achievements as a county magistrate, the emperor will definitely see them and promote them at any time.
Hehe, I am just around the corner! I’m boasting, the four of us will be ranked among the three ministers and nine ministers in the court in the future. We are the same as the palace examination, and we need to support us!"
"Should this be true!"
The Lord's father Yan bowed his hand and was also energetic. He went from a poor scholar to a county magistrate through the palace examination, and he had already fallen into the emperor's holy eyes.
"Okay! Let's prepare for it first. Eight days later, we will take up the post together. This little marquis uses one hand to manage Danyang County. You three, just let go of your hands. Don't say that I won't let you go, it will embarrass you!"
Chu Tianxiu smiled and said, "Look at who has better political achievements!"
"Haha! Xiao Marquis, you are boasting about this. I have been studying the management of a county for a long time. Let's compare to see who is the master of governing a county!"
Dong Xianliang said with a smile.
"The county is not as prosperous as Jinling City. You have to prepare more things these days!"
"Goodbye, meet at the southern gate of Jinling in eight days!"
