Idle courtiers

Chapter 241 Lao Guo's Way of Being an Official

As for Zhou Nan's current official position, the name is very difficult to pronounce, "Pedestrians, Pedestrians, Temporarily Acting as Ambassador of Yu Hengqing Officials Division, Military Weapons Bureau." In the future, when going to and from officialdom, when reporting his family name, it is really troublesome to report a long list of official names. .

Zhou Nan has been practicing along the way, and he finally managed to speak for a long time.

Guo Shuban, who is not the Deputy Envoy Guo now, smiled and said: "Pedestrian, don't remember so much. The long list of official positions in the back are all temporary. It doesn't make sense. When you meet people in the future, you just need to say that you are Pedestrians are fine, who dares to be disrespectful?"

Pedestrians will be censors in the future, and they will be the ones in the middle of the work. At the very least, they will be in charge of the six departments. Isn't it more prestigious than Ambassador Bird Feather?
Zhou Nan thought to himself, when others are pedestrians, they go straight to Yanguan Qingliu.I don't have a diploma, and I'm born with a deficiency, so this path obviously doesn't work.As long as this errand is done well, with Lao Xu's support, he can become a Zhengyin official as a miscellaneous person.It's just that it's not easy to talk to Lao Guo about this matter.

After a few more gossips, Deputy Envoy Guo looked at Zhou Nan and said teasingly, "Pedestrians look blue today and their spirits are sluggish. I think they were overworked last night. Be careful with your actions. Don't feel powerless when you are old. Take care."

Is this the Ming Dynasty version where teenagers don't know the value of XX, but they always come to look at XX and cry?Zhou Nan was suddenly a little annoyed. His reputation in Huai'an was really not very good. After arriving in the capital, he basically didn't go to the Qinglou Chuguan, and only studied at Wang Shizhen's place all day long.Unexpectedly, the name of the hungry tiger still followed like a shadow.

Just as he was about to explode, Vice Envoy Guo said again: "Pedestrian, I heard people say that the Military Weapons Bureau is very prosperous. When you go to the field, you don't want to be invited, but entertainment on the scene is inevitable. I'm afraid you can't bear it, pedestrian. It's hurting your vitality. But, don't worry, my lord, who would give up all the hard work?"

He acted like the girl in the kiln let Mr. Zhou go, as if he was coming at me, Lao Guo.Righteous words are strict and loyal.

Hearing what Lao Guo said, Zhou Nan's spirits were greatly lifted: "Are there any prostitutes over there?"

No, the Ordnance Bureau is a military center.Generally speaking, such institutions are located in the wilderness, where the birds don't shit.

Deputy Envoy Guo said enthusiastically that the former Ordnance Bureau was indeed a wasteland.But so many warehouses were repaired at once, and more than 100 people were stationed there.Cars, horses, and merchants continued every day, and gradually became prosperous.From a small village to Dazhuangzi, and then to a market town.

Up to now, there are [-] households and more than [-] people in that place, which is equivalent to a county seat in a remote area.

When there are more people, all walks of life will prosper, and the same is true for brothels and Chu houses.

Zhou Nan straightened his tongue, he was a little bit forced, a small arms bureau actually drove one side's economy.

"Just kidding, the country has so much military expenditure every year, and the ordnance needed by the Nine Sides has to be transferred from the Ordnance Bureau, and how much money is flowing in it." Deputy Guo said with a bright face: "Although it is the territory of Daxing County over there, but The county government can't manage it. With a population of more than 1, local law and order also needs people to maintain. What to do is naturally left to you. In the third part of the land, you alone have the final say. That is, the real Bailihou!"

Hearing what Lao Guo said, Zhou Nan took a breath.

Indeed, more than 1 people are already the size of a county.He has money on hand, has more than 100 soldiers, and keeps his promises. Isn't this a county magistrate?
Moreover, unlike local counties that are subject to the constraints of countless mothers-in-law, the Military Weapons Bureau only needs to be responsible to the Ministry of Industry, and its work is very flexible, and it is a proper little prince.

Surprised, not surprised, not surprised.

Originally Zhou Nan was resentful towards Xu Jie's arrangement, but now he was full of joy.

He squinted at Deputy Envoy Guo, and scolded: "You guys knew the importance of this position, but you deliberately didn't say it, it's disgusting!"

Zhou Nan originally thought that this ambassador would be more lucrative, but his rank was low and he had no bright future.But I didn't want to be so majestic.

If he knew the way to do this in advance, with his temperament, the position of deputy envoy would definitely be used to exchange benefits with others.

Deputy Envoy Guo got this fat job without spending a penny, what a scheming boy.

Lao Guo was a little embarrassed, and bowed his hands together: "The kindness of pedestrians is never forgotten, and in the future I can only repay it with my body."

Zhou Nan smiled and said: "Old Guo, it's meaningless to talk about it. You've been with me for a while, and we can talk about it. We should make good arrangements for you."

Deputy Envoy Guo burst into tears with gratitude, and asked, "Is there a regulation for pedestrians going to the armory this time?"

Zhou Nanqi asked: "Isn't it just to take office, what regulations do you want?"

Lao Guo: "As the saying goes, once the emperor and the courtiers, whoever is in power will use his confidants. If you guessed correctly, the clerks and yamen servants in the Military Weapons Bureau should be old people who were former ambassadors, and they may not be the same as pedestrians. One heart. There is another saying that goes well, a new official takes office three fires, we have to rectify a few thorns, it is best to be able to drive away a few people, establish authority, and make others afraid of pedestrians."

Zhou Nan: "It's nothing more than ordinary government servants. The officials and secretaries in the bureau are all appointed by the Ministry of Officials. How can we just drive them away?" The civil service system in the Ming Dynasty was perfect. formal employee.If he doesn't make mistakes, as the chief officer, you really can't do anything to him.

Guo Shuban suddenly pulled out a piece of paper full of words from his sleeve, and said: "Pedestrian, my subordinates have already checked. There are many people in the Military Weapons Bureau who are smuggling and smuggling with outsiders. The leader is Deputy Zhang. Messenger, the evidence is conclusive. When the descendants go to the Military Weapons Bureau, they can follow the map to find out what to do, and arrest Fushi Zhang and others, and give them a big blow. Others know how powerful we are, and they will naturally be honest in the future."

Speaking of this, the three big characters "I'm fierce" seem to be written on Lao Guo's shiny bald head.

This fellow has been prepared for a long time, Zhou Nan: "It's not appropriate to take down a deputy envoy on the first day of taking office, it's a bad rule."

Lao Guo smiled: "Actually, I don't really want to do anything to Deputy Envoy Zhang, just to scare him. My lord, the villain can make trouble first and make a fool of myself. After I scare Deputy Envoy Zhang, my lord can come out." Give him a red face, and forgive him for a while. In this way, Deputy Envoy Zhang has received the favor of pedestrians, and will naturally bow his head and listen to you in the future."

Zhou Nan was moved in his heart: "Old Guo, do you know what background this Deputy Envoy Zhang has?"

"I've checked, and there's no background. His deputy envoy was paid for by a disciple of Xia Yan in the early years of Jiajing."

Xia Yan died at the hands of Yan Song back then, and it will be a long time ago, and there will be no future troubles to rectify his relatives as a disciple. Zhou Nan thinks that Lao Guo's suggestion is good.

He wondered in his heart how he could sing that red face well when Lao Guo took the lead in attacking him.

Indeed, as a chief officer, there is no need to be this villain.

Lao Guo is suitable for doing dirty work for himself.
