Idle courtiers

Chapter 242

The Military Weapons Bureau of Yuheng Qingli Department of the Ministry of Industry is located in Baigezhuang, fourteen miles away from the capital.

There are many places in the capital called "each" village, such as Yanggezhuang, Magezhuang, and Zhanggezhuang.

Ge means home, and Baigezhuang used to live in a family with the surname Bai.Later, the Military Weapons Bureau was established here, and the population expanded rapidly. After dozens or hundreds of years, it has become a market town.

From a distance, it looks like a big city, but there are no walls.

There are two horizontal and vertical streets and more than a dozen alleys in the market town.It was the day of the market, there were many people on the street, and many government servants were patrolling the street.

Lao Guo stopped one person and asked where the Yamen of the Armament Bureau was.Only then did I know that these yamen servants belonged to the Military Weapons Bureau.

Hearing that there were new ambassadors and deputy envoys in front of them, several yamen servants were shocked, and hurriedly welcomed the old man back to the yamen, and asked everyone to gather in the yamen to meet the chief officer.

The yamen is located more than a hundred steps northwest of the intersection, no different from ordinary county yamen, with a front hall and a backyard.

In the front is the lobby, next to the lobby is the judge's hall for the deputy envoy, and behind it is the back office where Master Zhou lived.

The Military Weapons Bureau has one ambassador, two deputy envoys, six secretary offices, and one hundred soldiers.In addition, there are four large warehouses, a firearms factory, and a workshop for making spear heads and goose feather knives. There are sixty craftsmen, and the yamen has tens of thousands of taels of liquidity on hand every year.

It is said that sixty miles away from Baigezhuang, there is a leather bureau and a saddle and bridle bureau of Yuheng Qingli Division, which make armor and saddles, needless to say.

Several bureaus of the Yuheng Qingli Department are located in Daxing County. If there is an incident in the local area, the bureau itself will handle it, and the county has no right to speak out.This shows how miserable it is to be the magistrate of Daxing County.

Unfortunate for three lives, the magistrate attached to Guo, and three lives did evil, and attached to the provincial capital of Guo.The magistrate of Daxing County is attached to Guo Jingcheng, and the territory of the county is divided into fragments by the various central yamen. I don't know how many bad things he has done in his previous life.

Tragedy!
Zhou Nan's more than 100 people are in charge of local security, and have the power to arrest and deal with criminals; they manage a prosperous business town, and there are tens of thousands of taels of water every year.

With a usable armed force and a large amount of state-owned assets, Zhou Nan's real power is greater than that of Pudong county.

Seeing his subordinates bowing down on the ground, old Zhou Zhi was full of complacency.I feel as if I am the chairman of a large state-owned enterprise in the future, and I won't change it even if I give it to a magistrate!

"Get up!" Zhou Nan took charge of the party for the first time, quickly entered the role, and shouted in a tone of voice.

Then he exhorted everyone a few words, and put the blacklist that Lao Guo had already prepared on the long case from his sleeve.

Old Guo understood, straightened his back, stared fiercely at the crowd, and said, "Although our Military Weapons Bureau is of low rank, it is in charge of one side. In addition to manufacturing weapons, we also have the responsibility of arresting theft, smuggling, arresting fugitives, and treachery." I have heard people say that some people use public equipment for private use, smuggling and smuggling. Smuggling and smuggling is nothing more than that, and there are even some people who are so bold as to use soldiers to smuggle salt and medicine. I want to ask, who gave you the courage?"

While talking, he sneered loudly: "Don't think that Daxing County can't control you under the banner of the Military Weapons Bureau and with soldiers and horses. Others can't control you. Okay, let's take care of it ourselves. Today, I can't say that I will replace Zhou. The old man cleaned up the door."

When Lao Guo mentioned the excitement, he simply took off his hat and threw it on the ground.

Others go into battle shirtless, but the old man is the first to charge.

The hundred or so people were terrified when they saw his mouth open to eat people, knowing that Zhou Nan was trying to show his prestige.

I'm afraid someone will be unlucky today, everyone has stayed here for so many years, and no one's butt is clean.If you really want to pursue it, no one can escape, it depends on who the old man wants to use as the chicken to kill chickens and police monkeys.

Some of the people below had pale faces, some secretly wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and some had eyeballs rolling around in embarrassment, obviously waiting to see if they would take this opportunity to report revenge.

Seeing that the heat had come, Vice Envoy Guo gave Master Zhou a wink.

Zhou Nan brewed his emotions for a while, and asked softly, "Where is Deputy Envoy Zhang?"

No one uttered a word.

He yelled again, but still no one answered.

The evil fire in Zhou Nan's heart ignited, you are so arrogant and conceited, my master called you, but you ignored it.If I don't give you some color to see, our surname is not Zhou.

He didn't bother to sing blush, so he raised the gavel and slapped it hard: "Vice Envoy Zhang, you villain, stand up for me!"

Still no one speaks.

The people below looked at each other in blank dismay, and after a long time, a secretary stepped forward tremblingly: "My lord, Deputy Envoy Zhang is not here."

Deputy Guo laughed angrily: "What a bastard, doesn't he know that Mr. Zhou is coming to take office today?"

Secretary Office: "Go back to Master Guo, if you go back to Master Guo, Deputy Envoy Zhang has resigned and returned to his hometown early this morning after his full term."

"What... resigning from office and going back to the countryside... that's what happened today..." Vice Envoy Guo was dumbfounded and then blushed.

He was also complacent and devoted himself to showing himself in front of Zhou Nan. From the very beginning, he was frightened and arrogant, but he forgot to let everyone meet the new Mr. Zhou first.Up to now, he still doesn't know the names of the people below, and any positions.

If he had known that Deputy Envoy Zhang had resigned, why would he make such a joke.

Unfavorable start, Lao Guo was ashamed.

Moreover, if I make such a big mistake, what will Master Zhou think of me, Lao Guo?

The anger he and Elder Zhou had accumulated had already drained, and it was pointless to change another chicken to kill.

There was nothing to do, Deputy Envoy Guo had no choice but to say weakly: "Since the surname Zhang has left, that's all, everyone come to pay respects to the Elder Master!"

Disappointed, very disappointed.

As soon as the written script was turned on, the actors ran away, and Zhou Nan felt like punching the air.

No, that's not how time travel novels are written!It stands to reason that when the protagonist in the book arrives in a new place, there will inevitably be an old man who will not take you seriously because of his old qualifications.Then, after a fight, he was severely slapped in the face by the protagonist.

This is the bridge section that readers love to hear and see!
Zhou Nan felt unhappy, and opened his wise eyes to see who among the hundred or so people below had the potential to be a villain.

It's a pity that after watching for a long time, the people below were all respectful and flattering to him, so they almost called Lao Zhou a godfather and real father.

Forget it, since everyone is so upright, it would be too much for Zhou Nan's father to find fault with you.

He had no choice but to comfort his subordinates for a long time, telling them to return to their respective positions so that they could do their jobs.

Nothing happened today, everything went well, but Lao Zhou was a little bit disappointed.

Seeing no one around, Guo Shuban laughed loudly: "My lord, I never thought that being an official is so enjoyable. Seeing more than 100 people kneeling down on the ground, worshiping you as their ancestors, it's refreshing, refreshing! I can't think of me Lao Guo also has the scenery of today."

A villain, a villain in power.Zhou Nan scorned in his heart, and gave this verdict to Lao Guo.

This guy is also unlucky. After being elected in the capital for ten years, he has been running errands in various yamen, and he is treated like a gray grandson. Anyone can step on him.

This time I finally got an official position, and it was still a position full of power and wealth, so I got carried away with complacency.

Zhou Nan wanted to reprimand him with a stern face, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't help laughing: Whether he was a yamen servant, pawn, emissary, or pedestrian, he was someone else's subordinate, and his words and deeds should be respected. Look at people's faces.Now, finally being able to be a tyrant in this three-acre land, it is really a ten-year daughter-in-law who has become a mother-in-law.
