Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

As soon as Doctor Bai left, the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became more active. Ximenqing and Zhu Zhixian had a drink, and you said "Singing about wine, what is life like?" , the atmosphere was quite harmonious for a while.

This banquet can be described as a victory, but for Doctor Bai, it was a complete failure.

Although Imperial Physician Bai gave Zhuzhi County a hundred guan, Ximenqing brought too many surprises to Zhuzhi County through the open and secret struggle just now, so at this moment Zhuzhi County has infinitely favored Ximenqing's side, and Imperial Physician Bai can be regarded as a bamboo basket to fetch water in vain .

And Ximenqing also took this opportunity to change Zhu Zhixian's usual view of himself, and squeezed the white doctor into disgrace.

In a harmonious and friendly atmosphere, Ximen Qing and Zhu Zhixian reached the following consensus:

First, the two generations of the Ximen family's herbal medicine store are rare and valuable, and they are the signature industry of Qinghe County. Zheng Fu, the representative of Zhuzhi County, firmly supports Ximen's herbal medicine store as the only officially designated herbal medicine store in Qinghe County, and will give appropriate compensation according to national policies Tax incentives.

Second, Qinghe County officials believe that Bai Taiyi's attempt to establish Bai's Pharmaceutical Group is using Bai Taiyi's own medical skills to squeeze out the monopoly of Ximen's herbal medicine store. principle and retain the administrative means to take the necessary measures.

Third, Ximenqing’s strong support for Zhuzhi County, in addition to the 20% dry stock of the raw medicine shop originally provided, considering the magistrate’s cao labor government affairs, Ximen’s raw medicine shop provides a piece of old wild ginseng that is [-] years or more years old every quarter, and other Auxiliary medicinal materials are also provided free of charge.

After the discussion on these three points of consensus was over, the atmosphere of the banquet reached a fever pitch. Ximen Qing and Zhu Zhixian called each other brothers and talked about everything.

Only then did Ximen Qing realize that he didn't seem to have eaten anything other than two "croquettes". Anyway, he and the county magistrate were brothers and brothers, so there was nothing to worry about. The master also sensibly served mutton soup to Zhu Zhixian and Ximen Qingsheng, and at the same time, the owner of the wealthy building also personally presented the freshly baked pancakes.

It's a good time, it's time-consuming and memorizing poems, my brother has long been so hungry that his chest is stuck to his back.

With his left hand he tore a piece of Hubing, and his right hand held a piece of mutton. Ximen Qing ate it with great enjoyment.On the contrary, Zhu Zhixian watched from the side and was secretly delighted: "This Ximen Qing is capable of literature and martial arts, isn't it God helping me?"

Ximen Qing was so busy eating, he didn't notice Zhu Zhixian's eager eyes that suddenly discovered the treasure.

"Brother."

"Huh?" Ximen Qing's mouth was full of things, and he answered vaguely.

"My dear brother, this county still lacks a county captain. I wonder if my dear brother has any ideas?" Zhu Zhixian had already changed to a cup of green tea and took a sip slowly.

County lieutenant?What does a county lieutenant do?Can I eat it?Ximen Qing was confused, and it took him a long time to wake up. The county lieutenant seemed to be a small official under the county magistrate, and he didn't know what a county lieutenant should do, so he quickly drank the mutton soup and put The thing in his mouth was cleared quickly, and then he asked: "My lord, Xiaosheng is ignorant, what is the duty of this county lieutenant?"

"Brother, this county lieutenant is in charge of law and order and catching robbers. There are two leaders in the capital, ten yamen servants, five archers, etc." Zhu Zhixian introduced with a smile.

"Oh, that's how it is." Ximen Qing wiped his hands and took a sip of tea.

Ximen Qing was calm on the surface, but he was shocked like a raging sea in his heart!The county lieutenant will now be the chief of the public security bureau, plus the captain of the militia!Qinghe County is not comparable to the county town of my time, with a population of hundreds of thousands to millions, the entire Qinghe County has no more than a thousand men, women and children, and Qinghe County is just a tiny place. In this case, ten government officials, Plus five archers, that is a decisive armed force.

In fact, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it has always implemented an extremely strict weapon management system. Zheng Fu also promulgated laws to absolutely prohibit the private manufacture, storage, and sale of weapons, so as to prevent weapons from flowing into the people and abroad.As for bows and arrows, a long-range killer, the management is even stricter.

So among the folks, the most common one is the stick, that is, the whistle stick, just a longer wooden stick.The founding emperor, Zhao Kuangyin, who is wise and martial, is also "a stick equal to his body, and all four hundred military states are surnamed Zhao".As a commoner, how can you walk around the streets with a simple knife and a sword?If you haven't wandered around for 3 minutes, someone is probably watching you.

Even Lu Junyi, the jade unicorn who is known as the number one martial artist in the Daming Mansion, is "a stick that makes him superb, unparalleled in the world." Yan Qing, the younger brother under him, also secretly uses a pair of extremely small hand crossbows, and "only uses three short arrow".

Seeing that Ximenqing didn't respond, Zhu Zhixian added: "According to the county, my brother is capable of both literature and martial arts, and he is a good fit to be the county captain. I don't know what to do?"

Seeing Ximen Qing's calm expression, the masters beside him were all worried for him.The magistrate has been firmly in his hands since his predecessor retired, waiting for a suitable person. It has been more than half a year now.I have been with Zhuzhi County for more than ten years, only hard work but no credit, finally seeing such an opportunity, I don't know how many times I have secretly tested Zhuzhi County, trying to get a friend's son in.

But Zhu Zhixian always looked indifferent every time, and just warned him not to continue talking with his eyes, so the master had no choice but to end without saying a word.

But Ximen Qing's performance today amazed everyone, even the master secretly admired it in his heart. The magistrate's meaning was already obvious, and the master could not wait to yell at Ximen Qing to tell him to agree quickly.

"The Niudutou who stopped Xiaosheng on the road just now, I wonder if it is one of the Erdutou that the adults said?" Ximenqing did not directly answer Zhu Zhixian's inquiry, but turned to another question.

"That's right. Niu Dutou has been serving as an official in the county government for a long time, and he is very capable. There is another Wu Dutou, who just became Dutou, but now he is doing something for the county, and he is not in the county. .” The county magistrate was slightly surprised when Ximen Qing asked this question, but he took it calmly.

"Wudoutou is the hero who fought tigers on Jingyanggang last year. My master loves him for his martial arts, so he helped him to be the capital head." The master on the side interjected.

Wudutou, Wudutou, I'm sorry, but before you come back, my brother has become your boss first.

Ximenqing's body was shocked, the boss of Wudutou, I'm sure.

"My lord, I don't know how to take on such a big responsibility because I don't know how to do it?" I still have to pretend to refuse, if I agree, it will seem too useless.

Zhu Zhixian laughed and said, "Why do you need to be too modest, Ximen brother? This county has always seen people as good. This county said that you can be the county captain, so naturally you can do it."

Ximen Qing hurriedly made an appearance of "dare not to obey", stood up and bowed respectfully: "Since my lord has blue eyes, Xiaosheng is willing to obey."

"Okay, okay." Zhu Zhixian accepted the gift with a smile, and lightly twirled his beard: "Now there is one more Ximen county lieutenant in the county. Come, come, master, you will be colleagues from now on, and you need to get closer."

The master also showed an excited look: "The post of county lieutenant has been absent for more than half a year. Today, my lord has the insight to recognize talents, and Ximen officials will definitely shine in this position."

The master is excited on the surface, but in fact he is extremely jealous. You must know that the county captain is a formal ninth-rank official position, and the official salary of the imperial court is not a petty official like a master or a secretary.If you want to become an official establishment from a young age, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. Didn't you see that Song Jiang couldn't change the establishment, and he fell into the grass?Ximenqing was appreciated by the county magistrate, and it was as if he had reached the sky in one step.

Ximen County Captain, sounds pretty good, and more importantly, Wu Song is his subordinate!

Take Wu Erlang as a bodyguard, and a few government servants, patrolling the streets of Qinghe County to investigate the people's sentiments.It's okay to drink tea, flirt...no...appreciate the beauties, let Wu Song be a thug if you have something to do, catch two hooligans or something.It's really good to have a brother to take care of the road when you see injustice.

If anyone refuses to accept it, Wu Song's casserole-sized fist will greet him.

Ximen Qing resisted the urge to look up to the sky and laugh three times, and nodded to the master: "I am new to the yamen, and I need the master's support."

"How dare you!" The master stepped aside in panic.Compared with his master, the county lieutenant is already a high mountain, so how dare he support him.

"My dear brother, since you have already agreed." A trace of almost imperceptible smugness flashed in Zhu Zhixian's eyes: "Come to the county office tomorrow to report, and go through the formalities by the way."

What is the procedure?Is it a registration card or a letter of introduction?

Looking at Ximen Qing's confused eyes, Zhu Zhixian pointed out three fingers: "Since my younger brother is here to be a county captain, of course the personnel changes must be reported to the higher authorities. If the joints are cleared, and filial piety is added, the number will be about the same." .”

After arguing for a long time, it turned out to be a matter of money, and it was just a trivial matter for a rich man like Ximen Qing.

"My lord, is this... thirty guan?" Ximen Qing asked tentatively.

The county magistrate laughed out loud and almost knocked over the teacup: "Your brother really knows how to joke, what can thirty guan do these days... three hundred guan."

Three hundred!

Please ask a genius doctor like An Daoquan to go back and forth from Jiankang Mansion to Qinghe County, but the consultation fee of [-] yuan is enough.

Ximen Qing remembered that even if Yang Zhi sold the ancestral treasured sword in pain, it was only worth three thousand guan.

For a mere county lieutenant, Zhu Zhixian nods at all, and the matter is reported to the higher authorities, where does the joint need to be dredged?The three hundred strings were obviously made by Zhu Zhixian himself, and he was just looking for an excuse.Fortunately, my brother is still rich. From Ximenqing's memory, the herbal medicine shop has been busy for a year, and after paying tribute to all the gods, there are still three to five hundred guan left over.

It seems that Zhuzhi County is very clear about its own economic situation.That's why I put forward a request of three hundred guan based on the number.

Three hundred guan is three hundred guan.As long as his crude medicine shop is still there, the three hundred crowns will be earned back sooner or later.What's more, I have become Wu Song's boss.Just relying on my brother's knowledge that is hundreds of years ahead of me, just messing with it casually is still a lot of money.

value!It's worth it!Very worth it!

Ximen Qing smiled and met the eyes of the old fox from Zhixian County: "Three hundred guan is three hundred guan!"
