Chapter 144 Pingnan County Magistrate
Fu Changfeng and his entourage went directly to the county government office for accommodation. When Yi Cheng heard that they were the new county magistrates who were going to Shaoming County to serve, he did not dare to neglect them. After settling in several people, he ran to the county government office and informed Pingnan of the situation. The county magistrate Bingming.

"I understand. You go back first. I will go over and take a look after I have handled the matters here." The Pingnan County Magistrate is a young old man. He has been an official in Pingnan County for five years. It is said that most of these officials are Every three years, he will report on his duties. If he has done well or has connections with the DPRK and China, he can be transferred.

However, he was also from a peasant family, so it didn't matter. He was nearly 40 years old when he passed the exam, and he didn't have much ambition, so he settled down here.

"Sir, I heard that the new magistrate of Shaoming County is a young man in his 20s. I'm afraid he is a high-spirited and fearless Lord." The master told him what he knew. They are in Shaoming. We knew it when the county magistrate was about to be replaced. Everyone was now colleagues, so naturally they wanted to find out what the new colleagues were like, so that they would be easier to get along with in the future.

"Then we can also give you a few pointers. It will be a personal favor in the future. Being admitted to Jinshi at such a young age is also a talent." Pingnan County Magistrate also nodded.

When it was getting dark, Magistrate Pingnan slowly came to the post house. Hearing that Magistrate Pingnan came to see him, Fu Changfeng was still a little confused. The magistrate was too enthusiastic, and he planned to go see him tomorrow. Who would have thought that he would come today.

"Junior has met you, sir. It's a great honor for you all to come here." Fu Changfeng saw his age and immediately addressed him as a junior.

"Your Excellency, you are so polite. We will be colleagues from now on. I can't afford to be such an elder. How about we treat each other as brothers? My surname is Zhang, and my courtesy name is Huizhi. From now on, just call me Brother Zhang. I am here this time too. I want to tell you about the situation in our Juzhou territory, but I guess you don’t know much about it.”

"Oh, that's great. Thank you so much, Brother Zhang. My surname is Fu, my given name is Changfeng, and my courtesy name is Wanqing. Brother Zhang calls me Changfeng, or Wanqing. This is Zhuojin, and this is my brother-in-law. This is mine. My friend is also the master I brought this time, Zhao Yuping. It’s rare for an adult to come and give advice in person. I should have taken the initiative to visit you.”

Fu Changfeng introduced several people to Zhang Huizhi one by one. Zhang Huizhi said with a smile: "It's rare that they are all young talents. With several young people joining, Shaoming County will surely prosper. Being young is good. For My brother was stupid back then, but it was only at the age of forty that he managed to get the rank of Jinshi."

"Brother Zhang is really too self-effacing. People who take the imperial examination every year are like crucian carp crossing the river, but there are only a few people who can really jump over the dragon gate. I am young, but my experience is not enough. I still need to do this to you for many things. I asked my senior for advice. To be honest, I suddenly had to take over as the head of a county, and I was very nervous. I was afraid that I didn’t understand anything. It was a small joke to make a joke, but it was a big deal to harm the interests of the people. I need Brother Zhang to give me some advice, I’m really grateful.”

Of course, Fu Changfeng did not take Mr. Zhang's self-effacement as the truth, and he also talked about his own shortcomings.

"Hey, Brother Fu, you are so humble. Come on, let's have a good chat. I will also tell you about some special situations in Juzhou."

Zhang Huizhi then began to talk about the differences between Juzhou and other places. Mr. Lu had also told him some things before, and he had also read some newspapers about Juzhou, but now he heard Mr. Zhang Speaking of which, Fu Changfeng knew what was unusual inside.

"You also know that this Middle Guizhou Road belonged to the territory of the Southern Barbarians a long time ago, or it was only after Emperor Shun of the Ming Dynasty in the previous dynasty that it came under the jurisdiction of our Zhou Dynasty. Originally, this place was under the jurisdiction of the chieftain, and the power of the chieftain was The most important thing is that the people are all under the control of the chieftains, so these chieftains listen selectively to the imperial decrees, and whether they want to do it or not is their own business.

It was also because the emperors of this dynasty saw this phenomenon, and there had been examples of chieftains rebelling before, that they arranged for local officials to come over, in order to suppress the arrogance of the chieftains and take the entire Central Guizhou Road for their own use. , no longer need to be bound by toast.However, this matter is easy to say, but not easy to do. You must know that most of the people are from other ethnic groups. Even if they are managed by the chieftains and the oppression is more serious, they will not ask anyone from the court to help them. They were fair.

After all, many ordinary people also know that most of us officials are mobile. If we offend the chieftain, the next generation or even several generations of the family will be retaliated by the chieftain.

Therefore, although we have the title of county magistrate, our power is not that great. Those people will rarely listen to your suggestions, so you must be mentally prepared.

Another point, I advise you not to go against those chieftains. Their status in these places can be said to be the same. If you offend them, you are afraid of retaliation. There is one of the largest chieftains in Shaoming County whose surname is Long. , it is said that although he does not commit any evil, he still controls the voice of the entire Shaoming County.

There are also these common people who basically don’t speak Mandarin and mainly speak dialect. If you want to blend in, you must be able to understand their dialect. However, it is not easy to do this because they have different pronunciations. It requires a lot of effort. adapt. "

Master Zhang's words can be said to be sincere. After hearing this, Fu Changfeng and Xichun understood the seriousness of the situation. Now that he is about to enter Shaoming County, their uneasiness has deepened a lot. "

"Thank you Brother Zhang for your sincere confession. I am really grateful. I didn't expect that the situation in this place is so complicated. It seems that we need to deal with it carefully."

"Exactly, but you have just arrived, so there is no need to panic. There are even bigger chieftains in charge of the entire Juzhou Prefecture. Even Master Ma, the prefect of Juzhou Prefecture, also has a headache. So as long as there are no big differences, Mr. Ma will not put any pressure on you, just do your own thing well, and if you have the opportunity in the future, go find an official position in a wealthy place."

"The day I was admitted to Jinshi, I wanted to be able to solve the problems for the people, so I haven't thought about finding a good job for the time being. However, I think I will keep the correspondence open with Brother Zhang. If there is any If you don’t understand anything, you can communicate more in the future.”

I just came to take office, how dare I talk nonsense, and I can't just talk about finding a good job. Even if Mr. Zhang doesn't have any ill intentions towards me, there are ears between walls. If the prefect knows about it, I'm afraid he will be punished. Wearing small shoes, Fu Changfeng is particularly cautious in these matters.

After hearing what he said, Mr. Zhang nodded with satisfaction. The two chatted for a while before Mr. Zhang left.

The next day, Fu Changfeng took everyone to say goodbye to Mr. Zhang. This time he continued on his way. It would take four or five days to get to Shaoming County from here.
