Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 3 Taking office
From a distance, it seems that the city walls and watchtowers are all available.It wasn't until I got closer that I saw that the city wall was still dilapidated, only a part of it was covered with bricks, and the city tower was in disrepair for a long time and was about to collapse.

When I walked to the gate of the city, I saw a few yamen servants standing there lazily with knives in their waists, charging the people who entered the city.

At the gate of the city, Ding Bo got off his horse and found the Yamen servants and asked them where the Shangguan was.

Then they followed the yamen servants to find their superiors.Not long after, Ding Bo came over with a yamen servant.The yamen servant first was Zhang Zongxian who saluted, "The young one pays respects to the county magistrate, and the young one has already sent someone to notify Dian Shi, please wait a moment for the county magistrate." At this time, the county government that received the news immediately messed up, Dian Shi was not in the county government and went to Dian Shi Home please.

Dian Shi was also stunned when he received the news. Generally, when he takes office, he must first inform him when he will come here, so he can prepare for it. Although Emperor Wanli has always been at odds with officials, he has not announced the appointment of officials, and Qingjian County has been there for more than ten years. There is no county magistrate, but he still knows the rules and history of his predecessor.

He secretly scolded the magistrate's master for not knowing the rules, so he brought the magistrate here.

Dian Shi first sent someone to tell the people in the county government not to panic, let alone say that Zhang Zhixian had arrived.

Then he drove to the city gate immediately.Zhang Zongxian got a little impatient waiting at the gate of the city, and thought of going directly to the county government.He was about to bring his horse into the city, but the officials at the city gate didn't dare to stop him, so he let Zhang Zongxian enter the city gate.

After entering the city gate, it is the Wengcheng that goes on to the next city gate to really enter the city.Just then Dianshi's carriage arrived.

Dian Shi got out of the carriage and walked quickly to Zhang Zongxian's horse.After a salute first, seeing that Zhang Zongxian was still not coming down immediately, I felt a little unhappy, but I could only bite the bullet and say to Zhang Zongxian

"Qian Zongsheng, the history of Qingjian County, pays his respects to the county lord."

Seeing this scene, Zhang Zongxian almost blurted out the word "flat body", and changed it to

"Exemption."

He also felt that it was a bit inconvenient to speak on the horse and got off the horse after finishing speaking.

At this moment, the scene is a little awkward. Zhang Zongxian doesn't know what to say?Qian Dianshi didn't know what to do. There was a set of rules for new officials to take office, and the county magistrate didn't know how to do it, so he ran to take office without notifying the local officials.

I didn't see that the magistrate's master was present, and he couldn't tell the magistrate face to face about many things.

At this moment, the head of the official room came over, first met with Zhang Zongxian, then saw the scene was a bit awkward, and said
"Presumably the county magistrate is tired from the journey, why don't you go to Zhichun Tower to rest first, and wait for the county government to clean up first."

Zhang Zongxian also felt that standing here was not a problem, so he asked them to lead the way to Zhichunlou.

Along the way, everyone saw the master and servant with two horses and a carriage, but did not see the master or anything.I wonder if someone is pretending to be the magistrate, although the above has notified that there is a newly appointed magistrate to take office.

Qian Dianshi thought to himself that when he arrived at Zhichunlou, he would have to check this person's imperial edict, so as not to be pretended to be a joke to officials in other counties.

The county town is not very big, there is only one main street, and soon they arrived at the downstairs of Zhichun, and the shopkeeper greeted everyone to the private seats on the second floor.

The shopkeeper was also surprised that he was suddenly notified today that he was going to receive an important guest.In such a small county, no one usually comes here!

Along the way, Zhang Zongxian looked around curiously and excitedly, and the excitement did not pass until he reached the private seat of Zhichun Building.Qian Dianshi and the others sat down and looked around at each other, not knowing how to speak.

Finally, Dian Shi, who has been in power for more than ten years, opened his mouth.

"The whole county sincerely welcomes the county lord to come to the county. The arrival of the county lord makes the county flourish. It's just why the county lord didn't notify me in advance so that we can organize the county gentry to welcome the county lord."

Zhang Zongxian thought to himself, I didn't know that guy didn't notify you, and I also crossed halfway.Seeing that Zhang Zongxian didn't speak, Qian Dianshi continued

"I don't know where your master is, the county lord? Is he still on the way?"

How did Qian Dianshi know that this guy didn't have a master at all.

Ever since Zhang Zongxian's father died, he had been silent all day long, and the neighbors in the neighborhood rumored that he was mad at his father.

He also felt that he spent every day in self-blame.After three years like this, plus the exhaustion of the journey to take office this time, he finally became depressed and was eventually pierced by Zhang Xiaolong's soul.

Although Ding Bo was a housekeeper, he didn't know much about it. He knew that there were some Beijing officials' rules, but he didn't know anything about this place.They don't have the money to find a master, thinking that they will have money when they take office.

At this time, Ding Bo felt something was wrong and said immediately that the master had something to do before he could come over.Dian Shi thought this is not really a counterfeit, how can the master not come with the county magistrate, how can this be done.

Dian Shi had no choice but finally said that he wanted to see the imperial edict and sue him.Ding Bo directly took it out of his arms and showed it to Dian Shi.After reading the classic history, I think there is no problem, but I still wonder why the county magistrate is so ignorant of the rules.

Then he asked Zhang Zongxian in which year he was elected.

Dian Shi didn't dare to directly ask the Jinshi in that year, fearing that this guy was not born as a Jinshi and would annoy him.Zhang Zongxian knew that the guy was an ignorant person, so he directly said that he came from the Imperial College and did not take the imperial examination.

Now everyone understood that it turned out to be the prison student who donated.No wonder he is so ignorant of the rules that he doesn't even bring a teacher with him. This official probably bought it too.

After Qian Dianshi knew the details of Zhang Zongxian, he was not polite anymore, and directly talked to Zhang Zongxian about the rules of the new official.

You have to choose a date to inform the place that there is a preparation, and let the ceremony room prepare the roster of gentry who will come at that time.When the day comes, people in the yamen must wear official uniforms to greet them, and they will worship the city god together with the new magistrate.

Then go back to the backyard of the county government to change clothes and indirect local gentry.After getting acquainted with the local gentry, they will go to the Confucian Temple together.Three days after arriving in office, the pork meat stored in the ceremony room will be distributed to the gentry who were present that day.And Zhang Zongxian will be laughed at for taking office so recklessly.

After listening to Zhang Zongxian, he knew that he was ashamed, and the father who bought the goods didn't say anything in the suicide note.

He hurriedly asked Qian Dianshi how to remedy it in a low voice, and Qian Dianshi asked Zhang Zongxian to live in the small courtyard behind Zhichun Building for a few days first.He had told the people in the county government not to say that he had come, and after they had chosen a date, they would quietly go out of the city gate and come back to hold the inauguration ceremony.

Zhang Zongxian could only listen to Qian Dianshi's arrangement and expressed his gratitude to Qian Dianshi.Afterwards, Qian Dianshi warned everyone not to spread the news of the magistrate's appointment, and asked everyone to go back and prepare.

He also told Zhang Zongxian to arrange his accommodation by himself.Ask the boss to vacate the courtyard so that no one else can disturb the magistrate.

In fact, Zhang Zongxian already felt that there was a trace of contempt behind everyone's respect.In this society where everything is inferior and the only one who is educated is high, an official who relies on donations means that he will not have the support of the same year, and he will be looked down upon, rejected and even embarrassed by his colleagues and superiors who are officials in the imperial examination.

After staying in the small courtyard of Zhichun Building.Zhang Zongxian deeply felt that he didn't understand the various rules of Ming Dynasty officialdom, so he had to find a master.

The question is where to find the master?He didn't understand if he asked Ding Bo, and it would not be cheap to hire a master. Ding Bo made an inventory and estimated that if he sold the horse, he could raise 100 taels.But sell the horse before taking office.

Doesn't this make these locals even more contemptuous?Now I can only take one step at a time.

Not long after lunch the next day, Qian Dianshi came to the small courtyard where Zhang Zongxian lived.

I reported to Zhang Zongxian that the selected date was three days later, and all the famous gentry in the county had notified the list and brought them here.Everything needed for the sacrifice was also prepared.

After listening to the report, Zhang Zongxian first praised Qian Dianshi for his ability to handle affairs, and then asked some precautions during the sacrifice.

After Qian Dianshi left, Zhang Zongxian went back to the house, took out a pen and paper, and quickly wrote down the precautions Qian Dianshi said just now.I have never practiced brush calligraphy in my previous life, and now I can only write with a brush.

After writing down the precautions, Zhang Zongxian began to recall the TV series, novels, history books and so on that he had read before, and wrote down everything he recalled for fear of forgetting after a long time.

For example: Wanli was the carpenter emperor, and the carpenter emperor who was nine thousand years old died within a few years, and then Chongzhen, who was soon beaten to the capital by Huang Taiji, and Li Zicheng rebelled.The more Zhang Zongxian reminisces, the more he feels wrong. Now it is the 46th year of Wanli, so Wanli has few years to live.

The carpenter forgot that he had been emperor for a few years and it must not be long, so it is estimated that Chongzhen will succeed to the throne in less than ten years.

No matter how many years Chongzhen has been in power, there have been many disasters in the north.Various peasant army uprisings, as well as the entry of the Qing Dynasty.Thinking of the shaved hair, easy clothing and long hair after the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the [-]-day ban on sea immigration in Yangzhou and the closed country, followed by a century of humiliation in modern times.

No way, Shaanxi is too dangerous, you have to leave Shaanxi as soon as possible, otherwise you will either die from a natural disaster or be beaten to death by the rebel army.But leaving Shaanxi in the end still had to go through wars and finally be ruled by the Manchu Qing.

No, he can't be ruled by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. He doesn't want the money rat tail, not to mention the hundred years of humiliation. Besides, after time travelling, he feels an indescribable kindness when he sees the people around him wearing Hanfu.

I wanted to wear it before the time travel, but I can't let it go like a girl.I'm embarrassed to wear it, so I can only watch the video and give a thumbs up to the fellow Hanfu.Now that he has traveled to the Ming Dynasty, he must keep the clothes of the Han family.

The Manchus must not be allowed to enter the customs, and Shaanxi must not become chaotic.People have to eat enough to avoid chaos, but there are too many natural disasters in the Little Ice Age, and it’s snowing in Guangdong, how can people be fed?By the way, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn are cold-resistant and drought-resistant crops that are suitable for planting in the north.

It is necessary to send people to the south to look for these crops earlier to see if they have been introduced to Ming Dynasty.If there is no introduction, you have to go to the Americas to find it. It is less than ten years now and you must find and promote it.

Even with these crops, the Manchus still had to be wiped out, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would be dragged down by the Manchus sooner or later.You have to figure out a way to make money first. Once you have money, you can bribe Nine Thousand Years to get promoted.

At that time, I will bribe Jiu Qiansui to arrange for me to go to Liaodong, and try to destroy the Manchu Qing first.If it doesn't work, rebel and join the rebel army. Anyway, the Man Qing cannot be allowed to enter the customs.

Now we can only take one step at a time. The short-term goal is to earn a lot of money and then get promoted.The long-term goal is to eliminate the Manchu Qing bandit group.

How do I make money here? On the way here, I also saw that the products here are not very rich and it would be nice to be able to eat enough.

If you don't engage in engineering and large-scale construction, no, this is Daming without CT!Neither can tourism.How about inventing something, glass soap?

But after thinking about it for a long time, I didn't think about how to make these things, so I knew how to repair the hoof of the furnace.It seems that I can only do business, but doing business also requires capital and supply!Hu Biao and the others must have smuggled tea into the grassland.

Well, go back and ask Ding Bo how he hooked up with Hu Biao and the others, and see if he can get involved.

I think there must be a lack of everything on the grassland, and I still need capital.Where does this capital come from? I wonder how much the county magistrate's monthly salary is?

How often can I pay in advance!I don't know how the bank of the Ming Dynasty is developing, and whether it can borrow some principal.

During the three days Zhang Zongxian was waiting, apart from eating, he recalled and recorded the knowledge before time travel every day. The key historical content was also encrypted in pinyin, and he also thought about how to go in the future.

It was decided to gain a firm foothold in Qingjian County first, then make some capital and then do business to make money, and then bribe Shangguan to promote himself when he has money.

Three days passed quickly, and during Qian Dianshi's period, he came again and arranged for two clever government servants to be dispatched by Zhang Zongxian.

On the day when he took office, before dawn, the yamen servant rode a horse and led Ding Bo to drive the carriage to the south gate of the city early. As soon as the gate opened, he immediately left the city gate, circled around and headed for the north gate.

　Newcomers ask for recommendations and collections!Every recommendation is an affirmation to me!Every collection is an encouragement to me!Thank you in advance for your support!I wish you all wishes come true, all the best, wealth and freedom!
