Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 222 Nothing
Qi Renli took care of Meng Changqing's foot injury and did not go far.

When the two returned to the county government office, they happened to meet Yang Zheng.

"Sir." Yang Zheng walked towards Meng Changqing, "I sent you some routine documents. You were not here just now, so I gave them to Bafang."

"Okay, I'll go and see him right away." Meng Changqing gestured again, "This is the magistrate of our county, Mr. Qi."

Yang Zheng saluted Qi Renli with clasped fists, "Master Qi."

Qi Ren immediately returned the courtesy, "You are so polite, Lieutenant Yang, Qi is new here, please take good care of me in the future."

"You guys are chatting." Meng Changqing waved his hand, "I will go back to the study first. By the way, Captain Yang, my legs and feet are not convenient. If you are fine later, you can take Sir Qi around."

"it is good."

The two of them watched Meng Changqing go away, and Yang Zhengcai said to Qi Renli: "We met in a hurry yesterday, and I didn't have time to say a few words to you."

"It was Qi who was negligent."

Yang Zheng gestured to the room in the back, "It's cold outside, let's go in and talk."

"This is where I handle official business." Yang Zheng asked the other party to sit down and poured hot tea himself. "I originally served as a cavalry captain in Weishan Camp. Later, I accepted the emperor's order and joined other brothers. Follow Lord Meng.

I am a rough person, but unfortunately there are few people in Beishan County, and the number of literate people is pitiful. There is no one available for Mr. Meng, so I will temporarily act as the county chief registrar.

However, my ability is limited, and many things that should be handled by the chief clerk, I still have to trouble Mr. Meng to handle personally.

I feel really guilty. "

Qi Renli listened very carefully, but he only listened and did not express any opinions.

Yang Zheng said with a smile: "Now that Mr. Qi has come to Beishan County, Mr. Meng can feel more relaxed."

"Although Qi is ambitious, to be honest, he doesn't know how to proceed with many things, and he still needs to ask Master Meng for advice."

"I heard that Lord Meng personally recommended you to the court. I think you must have talents that Lord Meng values."

Qi Renli smiled sheepishly, shook his head and said, "I don't know what talents I have yet.

But when it comes to talent, I think Mr. Meng is very good at persuading others. To be honest, before coming to Beishan County, I only talked to Mr. Meng once in a teahouse. For that conversation, I was actually willing to follow him to Beishan County.

However, since I am here, and since Lord Meng values ​​me as you said, no matter whether I have enough talents or not, I will do my best to assist Lord Meng and find ways to make the people of Beishan County live a good life. "

When Yang Zheng heard this, he slammed the table excitedly, "Master Qi, I don't know, the first time I met you, I felt that you were very familiar. Now I realize that it's not that I have seen a similar appearance to you, but your mental state." My adults are very similar!”

"How can Qi be compared with Lord Meng?"

Yang Zheng was adding tea to Qi Renli, and pushed the shortbread beside the table, "I'm a rough man, and I have some bad words, so don't be offended."

"No way, we all work together in Beishan County. If Colonel Yang has anything to say, he can just say it."

"I just think Mr. Qi, you should come to Beishan County!" Yang Zheng asked again: "I think you are a few years older than Mr. Meng. What government office did you work for in the capital before?"

"Qi is twenty-one years old this year. He was born with the same Jinshi background. He has never found an official position in the capital. Thanks to Mr. Meng for showing me the way forward." Qi Renli was inevitably a little embarrassed when he mentioned his origin.

Yang Zheng saw it. As a person who had not studied for two years, he didn't know why he felt inferior because of his background as a Jinshi. There were so many scholars who were seeking fame one level at a time, but what he received was already a minority among the few.

It was too late for the people below to look up to him. "Let me say something offensive." Yang Zhengxiao said, "In this regard, the three of us from Beishan County are really very similar."

Qi Renli also smiled, "They are indeed similar. Maybe this is fate."

"Look, this is the first time you and Mr. Meng have been officials, and this is the first time there is a government office in Beishan County." At this point, Yang Zheng laughed twice, "That's not accurate. It was only after my master came that we had a government office." This is Beishan County.

Instead of being constrained by going to places that have everything, why not come here to show off your talents? Although there is nothing here, it’s good that there is nothing, right? "

Qi Renli affirmed: "Yes."

"Sir Qi, you must also know that the reason why my lord went to the capital years ago was to persuade people to move to Beishan County. Now that the road above has been opened, your lord has asked me to take charge of specific matters.

Mr. Qi, does he have any good suggestions on this matter? "

"To be honest, although I heard about this matter in Beijing, I don't understand the details. If Captain Yang wants to hear my opinion, he has to explain the terms to me in detail."

"Okay!" Yang Zheng said, "I'm fine now, so I'll tell you carefully."

Besides, Meng Changqing, who was going to the study, had just sat down with official documents spread out in his hands to prepare for instructions, when he saw Bafang walking in quickly, "Master, Mr. Bai wants to see you."

"Let him in."

Chu Mufeng was right next to the study door. When he heard the sound inside, he stepped in directly.

"Master Bai, please sit down." Meng Changqing wanted to invite him to sit at the round table, but Chu Mufeng moved a stool and sat in front of her desk, "I'll sit here, don't move."

"Bring tea from all directions."

"No need to be busy." Chu Mufeng said, "I will leave after just saying a few words."

Bafang simply took two steps back and stood aside.

Chu Mufeng said bluntly, "A letter from the palace asked, how is your injury?"

Meng Changqing asked cautiously: "Who in the palace wrote the letter?"

"Could it be that the answer would be different depending on who asked the question?" Without waiting for Meng Changqing's answer, Chu Mufeng immediately answered Meng Changqing's previous question, "It's Your Majesty."

"My foot injury is not serious. Since Dr. Hu cut off the carrion, the wound is healing quickly."

"Sir, you should also know that although there is no explicit regulation in this dynasty, since the previous dynasty, people with obvious disabilities are not allowed to participate in the scientific examination. If an official in office has an obvious physical disability, there will be obstacles in his promotion." Chu Mufeng said, "Your foot injury must be taken good care of."

Meng Changqing didn't know whether he wanted to say this himself or the emperor wanted him to say it.

But Meng Changqing also knows these secret rules.

"Thank you, Lord Bai, for reminding me. I know it well."

"Mr. Meng knows what you are doing, so you should practice more." Chu Mufeng said, "You can never finish things. There is not much difference between one day earlier and one day later. But for you, you may be able to recover better if you rest for one more day. Better.

If your Excellency is really worried, there is no one available for you, just assign us.

I hope that people like you can stay in the officialdom for a longer time and that your official position will be as high as possible. "

Meng Changqing was very surprised when he heard these words.
