That night, Qin Jing and Su Zijin played chess until very late and didn't go to bed. Su Zijin didn't remember who lost and who won. He only remembered that they talked a lot and drank a few pots of tea.

"morning!"

"morning!"

"This pickle is still crispy, try it."

"Well, it's delicious."

"Let's go, go to the county government office. Dingtao Mansion is not very big. Let's speed up the pace this time and make up for the time lost in Pingqiu."

"Well, let's go."

Waking up early in the morning, both Xi Yan and Hou Yi felt that the fourth prince, Qin Jing, and Miss Su had a tacit understanding like an "old husband and old wife", no, but an "old friend". Did the embarrassment that spread a few days ago disappear? One-to-one answers are very natural.Even though there were still few words, there was no feeling of embarrassment.

Xi Yan and Hou Yi unconsciously looked at each other, both a little curious about what happened last night.

"Could it be?" Xi Yan's eyes widened suddenly, and Hou Yi's hand reached the back of Xi Yan's head in an instant.

"Hey, why did you hit me all of a sudden?"

Xi Yan covered her head.

"Who made you think wrong!"

Hou Yi pouted.

"I, when did I... think wrongly."

Xi Yan retorted with some lack of confidence.

"They're all men, I don't know what you think? Let me tell you, it's impossible, don't think about it, let alone our lady's character, even if the fourth prince is so precious, neither of them will mess around."

Xi Yan completely lost his temper, "I didn't think about anything, and I was beaten by you. Well, I don't care about you doing it, and I can't do it in the future, you know? Go, my master and Miss Su have gone out!"

Hou Yi gave up, turned around and got on the horse, Xi Yan breathed a sigh of relief and followed the three of them.

Here in Dingtao, it feels obviously much richer than in Pingqiu. The houses are neatly built, and the streets are spacious and clean.

Qin Jing and Miss Su nodded secretly, and they rode horses to the Dingtao Mansion.

"Your Majesty, the fourth prince and Su Can led the way to the hall."

The young magistrate who was working suddenly heard the report from the yamen servant, his mind was blank for a moment, and he got up quickly, "Follow me to meet the fourth prince and Mr. Su."

The young magistrate hurried to the hall, only to find that it was a man and a woman. Although both of them looked extraordinary, was "Su Canling" a woman?He was not in the capital, so he didn't know that there were female military officers in Dagan.

After a moment's pause, the young magistrate still hurried forward, "The next official sees the fourth prince, Su Shenling."

Qin Jing turned his head and looked over, it turned out that the person who made Ding Tao so clean and pleasing was such a young chief official?
"you are?"

"Your Majesty, Du Zhongqiu, a Jinshi in the last two imperial examinations, was appointed by His Majesty to Dingtao, and was promoted to prefect three years ago."

"Oh?" Qin Jing seemed to think of something, "You are the youngest Jinshi in the last two sessions, Du Zhongqiu? I heard that you were only 16 years old when you were in high school, and now a few years later, you are only 22 years old, right?"

"Yes, Fourth Prince!"

Someone still remembers himself, Du Zhongqiu is naturally very happy.

Su Zijin listened to the two talking, and glanced curiously at the tender-faced magistrate.

For men in their twenties, it was already a good age to start a family. But although Du Zhongqiu is old and tall, he looks weak and tender, with big and bright eyes. It seems that he has just graduated from school and is still Not polluted by dunya.

The face is born from the heart, the older you are, the more you will know, this sentence is true.

"How does this "little" magistrate maintain a clean state of mind?"

Su Zijin couldn't help being curious.

Following the two of them, they came to the county office study room, a large room, lined with many thick bookshelves, on which various materials of Dingtao Mansion were displayed in categories, Du Zhongqiu skillfully found the bookshelf next to the land tax office, and put Qin Jing Find out the desired field record.

"This one is the original record, and this one is the reclamation record in recent years. There are also circulation records, squire exhibition records, etc., all here."

Qin Jing looked at the clear record, turned his head and glanced at Su Zijin, as if to say, with these, saving time can be easily achieved?
Du Zhongqiu didn't pay attention to the expression of the fourth prince, and took his things to the only desk in the study, scratching his head in embarrassment, "I usually use this desk, and there were some shaking noises a few days ago. Let’s make do with it first, I’ll have the yamen servant come over and fix it later.”

Qin Jing raised his eyebrows and didn't say much. He walked to the table and sat down. There was a "creak" sound. The sound of the wooden table and chairs being squeezed was really rude.

Su Zijin smiled secretly, and then looked at Du Zhongqiu, "Prefect Du, is it convenient to take out these materials? Let's take a look in the lobby, where the light is also good."

"Naturally," Du Zhongqiu said quickly, "I'll fill in the borrowing form first, and then we can take it out."

As he said that, Du Zhongqiu found the borrowing list from the desk case, recorded the books in Qin Jing's hand one by one, and then led the way to the lobby.

After a long while, the three people came out of the lobby. Qin Jing held the simplified version of the transcription in his hand and looked at Du Zhongqiu, "The prefect Du's materials are clear, which saves time. After lunch, let's go outside the city together and start measuring." .”

When the fourth prince spoke, Du Zhongqiu was naturally delighted, and agreed, "After noon, I will wait for the fourth prince and Lord Su at the gate of the city."

It was already noon at this time, that is to say, Du Zhongqiu gave Qin Jing and Su Zijin half an hour to eat. Su Zijin and Qin Jing looked at each other, "Okay, just listen to Du Zhifu. Meet at the city gate."

After a simple lunch, Su Zijin and Qin Jing led the staff and walked out of the city.

The fire and ginger soup that filled the house yesterday made everyone fall down even though the wind and snow blew, and they all started working energetically today.

Du Zhongqiu saw that the work of the fourth prince's subordinate Qingzhang was done in an orderly and fast pace, and his eyes were straightened, and he said, "Let the agricultural officials come over tomorrow and let them come and learn."

The Qingzhang work in Dingtao Mansion went very smoothly without any extra problems. Everyone in Dingtao Mansion performed their duties. On the second day, as expected, the agricultural officials came to study, but they also followed behind. Natural observation help.No flattery, no hindrance, everything is so natural.In addition, Dingtao Mansion has complete materials, and within three days, the Qingzhang has been completed.

Su Zijin had dinner with Qin Jing this night, and couldn't help feeling emotional, "I don't know what Dingtao Mansion has done, but it's just that each of them performed their own duties and took responsibility, so we were able to move Chenliu County's mansions far away so smoothly. far beyond."

Qin Jing nodded, "If everyone can take responsibility and perform their own duties, the magistrate of Dingtao Mansion should not be underestimated. Sometimes it is obviously a trivial matter, but it is full of loopholes. In Dingtao Mansion, even the post station, is very important. Considerate, seeing the big from the small, shows the ability of Dingtao Mansion."
