Chapter 27 The new official takes office (please support!)
The Changshou County Government is holding a "Farewell Banquet".

Not long ago, Shenli, the magistrate of Changshou County, who "shone brilliantly" in the private salt case, has been newly appointed. He will be transferred to Jingzhou Dangzhou Tongzhi under the jurisdiction of the Huguang Chief Envoy. From Liupin.

There was only one table for the banquet, with ten people sitting around it, six of them were officials of the county government, and three other local gentry.

When Shen Li took office in Changshou County, the "reception banquet" was much more grand than it is now.

The atmosphere was depressing.

"Come on, let's congratulate Shenzhi County on his promotion."

It happened that the ignorant person stood up and toasted Shen Li. It was the instigator of the previous salt smuggling case - Zhu Wanjian, the second child of the Zhu family.

Everyone around looked at Zhu Wanjian with weird eyes. This kind of "promotion" argument is really not suitable for today's wine table, because everyone knows that Shen Li was stumbled by Huang Zan, the left chief minister of Huguang, and adopted the method of promoting publicly and secretly descending. Shen Li was transferred to the south corner of Huguang to be a state adjutant in the same way. Not to mention that he had no real power, and the dream of returning to Beijing to be a Beijing official became more and more out of reach.

From the magistrate of Fuguo County, to the Tongzhi of Dangzhou, a remote state...

That ghostly place in Jingzhou is next to the chieftains in the south of Huguang... the birds don't bother to shit when they fly by.

"Second Master Zhu, I'm not saying that I have to put on a show and stop drinking your wine, but I just want to ask, did the Zhu family not express anything about this matter?"

Shen Li was really aggrieved.

In his opinion, how can the Zhu family, which is highly regarded by the royal family, be regarded as a "big family" and has a certain influence in the court. What should I do if I ended up going up and down?
Not only did your Zhu family not help in the activities in the court, but you said a few words for me, and now you go to the farewell banquet to make sarcastic remarks?

high rise?

Raise your mother's egg!
Zhu Wanjian saw that the people around him looked unfriendly, shook his head, and put down his wine glass: "Shen Zhi County, no, I should call you Shen Tongzhi now. This is an official. The most important thing is to share the worries of the Holy Majesty and the court. Wherever there is a shortage of people, go there. I owe the emperor's grace."

The expressions of the people around became more and more strange, and the eyes of each one seemed to be looking at a monster.

It doesn't count to say sarcastic remarks, but is this to say that black is white?

"Like me, the Zhu family, who can stay in the capital to live a stable life, but settled in Anlu Prefecture. What is the plan? Isn't it just to do something for the great Ming Dynasty? Do you think this is the truth?"

reason?

What kind of bullshit logic is this? Fortunately, the Zhu family is still a family of thousands of families in Jinyiwei, it is so stupid.

Others scoffed, but Shen Li frowned, faintly hearing something different from Zhu Wanjian's words.

Shen Li ignored the clichés of where is the difficulty and where to go, but he understood that Zhu Wanjian was clearly telling him that if our Zhu family really had connections, we would be dispatched to Anlu by the court?
Shen Li almost wanted to hug his head and beat it hard, thinking: "Why didn't I think of the middle joint... Jin Yiwei Qianhu is a fart, he really has skills, and I, a little magistrate, need me to run around here and there ? It’s really covered in lard!”

It's a pity that it was too late for Shen Lixiang to understand this level. At this time, he was in deep trouble, and there was no way to recover from the decline. He could only go to Jingzhou to reflect on himself and try not to make the same mistake again.

……

……

Shen Li ended his tenure of Changshou County magistrate for less than two years, leaving a vacancy, and the court has not dispatched new candidates for the time being.

The selection of officials in this kind of locality often does not need to go through the Ministry of Officials, especially when the position of the county magistrate is vacant during the tenure. , and report to the Ministry of Officials for the record.

There is more than a year left in this term, and the position of county magistrate can be appointed by the chief envoy, Si Yamen. No one cares about a county magistrate attached to Guo County. Finally, a county magistrate who has served two terms as county magistrate is transferred from Jingzhou mansion and is now at home. Juren, come over to serve as the county magistrate for more than a year.

Jingzhou Prefecture borders Anlu Prefecture. When Shen Li left office, the acting magistrate who received the transfer order had already embarked on the journey to take office, and he would be in Changshou County in a few days.

Originally, Shen Li could leave after completing the handover with Xinzhi County, but he was not in that mood, and left in a hurry with his staff after the practice banquet.

Coincidentally, the day after Shenli left Anlu, the magistrate of Xin County assumed office, and the local gentry formed a team to welcome him.

No matter how long Xinzhi County has worked or how capable it is, at least for the next year or so, the long-lived gentry and common people will rely on this Xinzhi County for food, so we still have to hold a reception banquet to give all the gifts that should be given to the merchants in the city. We must also unite to give gifts, hoping that Xinzhi County will not exploit too much.

Every time a new official takes office, the state city will be lively, just like a festival.

"Mother, the Shenzhi County... the person who made things difficult for us several times has been transferred away, what a joy!" Zhu Hao gloated.

The sound of gongs and drums outside was endless, but the gentry and merchants formed a team to welcome them at the gate of the city, hoping to leave a good impression on Xinzhi County.

Zhu Niang didn't say anything.

Aunt Li said: "It is said that the magistrate of Shenxian County has been promoted to be a magistrate of the prefecture, and he is still on the border of Huguang. Will it affect our business?"

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Auntie, you don't understand. The state he is in office now is not a fart. What he offended was not us, but the biggest official in Huguang—Huang Fantai, who didn't give him a direct resignation." Even if it’s good. I’m afraid it will be a year of the monkey when you free up your hands to deal with us.”

Zhu Niang gave Zhu Hao a blank look: "It's not a good thing to offend the people in the government. In the future, Xinzhi County will learn a lesson and maybe give us some shoes...Always counting on Su Dongzhu is not an option. Maybe some kind of crooked brain will be used."

Seeing that his mother had a sense of crisis, Zhu Hao felt very relieved.

"Mother is right, we should find a stronger backer, I think... Xing Wang's mansion is very good, if it can be valued by Xing Wang..."

"Crackling..."

Someone outside suddenly set off firecrackers, interrupting Zhu Hao's voice.

Zhu Hao took a look with his head, and saw that firecrackers were being set off in front of Qian Chuanzi's shop diagonally across the street.

Aunt Li covered her ears and walked to the door, waited for the other party to finish setting off the firecrackers, and said disdainfully: "It's not a festival day today, why is Qian Chuanzi so crazy about setting off firecrackers?"

Zhu Hao said: "You don't understand this aunt. Xinzhi County will pass by our door when entering the city. You said that if Xinzhi County sees firecrackers in front of his door and red confetti all over the place, you think he spent a lot of money to show his welcome. If so, will you look at it differently?"

Aunt Li immediately understood what he meant, and looked at Zhu Niang: "Sister, shall we also buy some firecrackers and set them off?"

Zhu Niang took this kind of thing very lightly: "It's not a big auspicious event in the house, so how can we just make a celebration? What will outsiders think? Besides, we should try our best to avoid dealing with the government in the future..."

Apparently Zhu Niang also knew that she was running a private salt business right now, and she was afraid to avoid the government, so how could there be any reason to move forward with a face?
"Xiaohao, I bought some books for you. Go back to the backyard and have a look. If you don't know how to do it, mother will teach you later. It's noisy outside, so don't come out!"

Zhu Hao stood by the door: "I want to see what the Xinzhi county magistrate is like."

Zhu Niang gave her son a blank look: "You go to the backyard with Xiaoting to teach your younger sister how to read. You don't look like a brother at all. How will you support the family business in the future?"

Zhu Hao touched his nose upon hearing this.

Have you behaved badly lately?Now the business of the shop is stable, and the monthly income is probably something I didn't even dare to think about before. Is this like having no brother?
But the love for my sister...it is indeed a little bit less.

"Then I'm going to teach my sister..."

After speaking, Zhu Hao took Zhu Ting's little hand and went to the inner courtyard.

……

……

The activities to welcome Xinzhi County are still going on.

The local gentry almost came out in full force.

The surname of Xinzhi County is Jing, and he is not very old, only in his thirties. This time, he brought his wife and children to take up the post. There are two carriages in front and back, and besides his family, there are only two coachmen and three or five long-term followers.

This acting county magistrate, who was born in Juren, once taught at the Confucianism Department, and later served as county magistrate twice in Huguang Huangzhou Prefecture and Changsha Prefecture respectively. He has been an official for no more than five years. .

Apparently, the magistrate of Jing County did not expect that the people of Anlu would welcome him so grandly. He almost leaned half of his body out of the carriage and waved frequently to the gentry and common people on both sides of the street.

When the party came to the gate of Zhu Niang's rice shop, the carriage stopped suddenly.

Qian Chuanzi thought that the firecrackers he set off had an effect, so he rushed to greet Xinzhi County, but Xinzhi County ignored him after getting off the carriage, and went straight to Zhu Niang's rice shop opposite.

When Xinzhi County took office, there were already a lot of onlookers following him. Seeing that Xinzhi County went straight to Zhu Niang's rice shop, the shop had caused a lot of trouble in the past, and the people immediately cheered up.

Zhu Niang was at ease behind the counter to settle the accounts, but when Aunt Li said that Xinzhi County had come to the shop, she was very puzzled.

When she walked to the door, Xinzhi County was only a few steps away from the shop door.

"This must be the widow of General Loyalty, Mrs. Zhu!"

The magistrate of Jing bowed his hands to salute Zhu Niang, and Zhu Niang hurriedly returned it with a blessing.

Jing County Road: "I am from Jiangling, Jingzhou Prefecture. My surname is Jing, and my style name is Zhongkuan. I have heard for a long time that the loyal general is loyal, filial, and fraternal. The third wife of Zhu is a husband and a child. She takes care of the family business. It is polite to come here."

The onlookers thought that Xinzhi County and Zhu Niang were old acquaintances, but after hearing this, they realized that it was because of Zhu Niang's "famous reputation".

Hearing that it was very lively outside, Zhu Hao couldn't help but trot all the way to the curtained door behind the shop to watch the excitement, just in time to hear the scene in Jingzhi County, he laughed secretly, you are trying to find out how your ex stumbled, intending to get rid of it. Where do you fall and where do you get up?
You are a parent officer, you are very scheming!
 The emperor accidentally fell on the [-]th and was hospitalized with a broken bone. The chapters before and after these days are pre-published, and it is estimated that it will continue until the end of early March. Please continue to support us when you are away!
