The scribes in charge of the official department and the scribes in charge of the household department stood with unfriendly expressions, Ye Xiaotian looked at the account books, and said indifferently: "Tell me, in just half a year, the writing and instruments of your two departments have been consumed, and only a brush is worth a penny." There are more than one hundred and eighty brushes, and our Hu County is so busy with business? Or are these brushes all inferior?"
Scribes don’t have salaries and food and silver, and only rely on paper and pen fees, copying fees, and food expenses to support their families, and their income is meager. Therefore, it is difficult for anyone who becomes a scribe to clean himself. . That's why there is such a saying: "Let your officials be as clean as water, and officials will inevitably be as slippery as oil."
However, among the six rooms, the most powerful ones are the Li Ke, Hu Ke and Criminal Ke, they have a lot of extra money, and it is reasonable to say that there should be less corruption of public property, but Ye Xiaotian accidentally looked through the account books, but found that the account books The department and the official department are the most, and the number of stationery supplies received is astonishing.
Beating children on cloudy days is also idle, besides, the people in these two departments are either from Huazhi County or Wang Zhuzhu. Their awkwardness.
The scribe in charge of the official department rolled his eyes, and was trying to find some reason to confuse him, when Dianci suddenly exclaimed: "The county lord is here!" When everyone heard the sound and looked towards the door, they saw the magistrate Hua with a smile on his face. Stand at the door.
Huazhi County's smile was a bit far-fetched, he was the magistrate of the county, the biggest official in the county, and he wanted to summon a low-ranking official, but he couldn't refuse to come, so that's all, he had to condescend to accommodate him, and take the initiative to send him come to your door. Seeing everyone's amazed gazes now, Hua Qingfeng's face was hot, and he hurriedly said to himself: "My xinxing cultivation is still not enough! Be patient! Be patient! Be patient and become a Buddha!"
Seeing Huazhi County, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help revealing a faint smile. He stood up, waved his hands to the scribes in charge of Like and Huke, told them to step aside, took two steps forward, bowed their hands slightly, and asked the question knowingly Authentic: "My lord, you are the parents of a county and the supreme lord of Baili! If you have anything to do, you only need to report it, and the subordinate officials will pay you a visit. Why did you condescend to come here?"
Huazhi County pretended to be calm and said haha, walked in, and said casually: "I don't have such a big air, I should be a virtuous corporal and approachable for an official. As a parent of a county, I have no reason to be superior. You have to let go of your body in order to understand the people's sentiments. Hehe... "
Hua Zhixian said that he had already walked into the classics and history room, Ye Xiaotian was all smiles, and he was very respectful, but he didn't say "Master the county, please take a seat", Hua Zhixian walked up cheekily, and sat down on Ye Xiaotian's seat, He waved his hands and said, "You guys go out first, this county should chat with Ye Dianshi."
All the subordinate officials hurried away as if they had received an amnesty. Seeing that the atmosphere in this room is not right, these small fish and shrimps don't want to get caught in the wind.
The room was empty, with no one else watching, Hua Zhixian immediately relaxed, and he could really let go of his figure, he sighed, and sincerely said to Ye Xiaotian: "Ye Dianshi, the county regrets not listening to your advice. !"
Ye Xiaotian casually picked up a chair, sat down opposite Huazhi County, and asked in surprise, "Why do you say that, my lord?"
Hua Zhixian said: "Ye Dianshi, you are vigilant and good at making changes. It is most appropriate for you to intervene in the dispute between the two villages of Gao and Li. But at that time, Xu Xiancheng took the initiative to invite Ying. The county thought that both of you were newcomers. Since If you want to share the county's worries, then let him go. After all, he is your immediate boss, so it's not easy to disgrace him. Unexpectedly, those outsiders ignored the king's law and despised the court, and actually detained Xu County Prime Minister I am now a hostage. Now... Ye Dianshi, I can only ask you to go out."
Ye Xiaotian suddenly said: "Ah! So that's what your lord is talking about. To be honest, my lord, I did take the initiative to invite you that day, but that day when I just arrived in Huxian County, it was the time when the county lord held a reception banquet for my subordinates. I don’t know the situation of the county government yet.”
Ye Xiaotian sighed, and said to the magistrate of Hua: "I didn't know until I officially acted as an official agent. Xu Xiancheng had already sent a message, and only the stationery was handed over to the lower official. For other matters, the lower official would intervene." No way. The county lord, this is not in his position, how can... "
Before Ye Xiaotian finished speaking, Hua Qingfeng laughed, waved his hands and said, "Ye Dianshi, you misunderstood, you misunderstood."
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said: "Oh? I don't know what the officials have misunderstood? Please show me the county lord."
Hua Zhixian said solemnly: "Xu Xiancheng did say such a thing, and asked the county for instructions. At that time, you had not taken office, and Xu Xiancheng was worried that the cunning would take the opportunity to bend the law for personal gain, so he ordered that all cases should be reported to him. He won't accept it unless he nods. When you officially acted as official agent, he had already gone to the mountains, and it was too late to revoke the order, which led to this misunderstanding."
Ye Xiaotian nodded and said, "I see!"
Hua Qingfeng said: "That's right. Hahahaha..." The two laughed at each other, Hua Qingfeng suddenly stopped laughing and said: "I will pass on the order now. Since Ye Dianshi has arrived, it should be up to you It’s up to you to take responsibility for what you’re responsible for.”
Ye Xiaotian said happily: "My lord sees clearly!"
Hua Qingfeng immediately followed up and said: "Nowadays, the two villages of Gao and Li are fighting with weapons, and Li's village has even detained the imperial court officials as hostages. There is no shirking the responsibility."
Ye Xiaotian immediately said with a sad face: "My lord, I am powerless to be an official."
Hua Qingfeng was displeased, and said: "There are people who ignore the laws of the country and imprison the officials. As a history of the county, how can you keep evading your duties..."
Ye Xiaotian said: "My lord, it's not because I'm a lower official, I can't do anything about it. If I want to handle a case, there must be someone available, my lord, do you know what kind of person is the scribe in charge of the history room of the lower official? Hey! He Originally, he was Ambassador Cang, a person in charge of the warehouse. No matter how good the warehouse management is, can he do the clerical work
Besides, the fast class catcher is the person in charge of arresting criminals and thieves, but Zhou Bantou was transferred by Xu Xiancheng to do the work of sending and receiving the landlord, and transferred the sending and receiving work of the landlord to be the fast shift catcher, a person who can only register Can the people who send and receive documents and write the list of complaints do such things as arresting rape, arresting robbers, solving cases and releasing prisoners
Colleagues are supposed to get along with each other in harmony. If the subordinate officials say these words in front of adults, if someone with a heart listens to them, they will think that I deliberately slandered Xu Xiancheng. But the county lord is confidant to the lower official, how can the lower official not treat the adult with sincerity? In the eyes of the subordinate officials, Xu Xiancheng's move is really muddled! "
What Ye Xiaotian said made Hua Qingfeng's face heat up again, but he still had to bite the bullet and respond: "Well...Xu Xiancheng's move is indeed inappropriate, this...if the county brings back all the people... "
Ye Xiaotian raised his eyebrows, and said in a vibrating voice: "Then the official will immediately lead people into the mountain!"
※※※
In the mountains and jungles, 8,000 seedlings were marching towards Hu County. There were 8,000 people, like thousands of spirit apes, walking through the forest vigorously without making any noise.
Sister Sun and Hua Yunfei walked side by side, and asked with bright eyes: "You said that His Excellency grabbed that Yingying girl in front of so many people and kissed her hard?" Mouth?"
Hua Yunfei said helplessly: "Sister Sun, you have heard this paragraph five times, and you still want to ask me?"
Sister Sun's eyes sparkled, her face was blushing with excitement, she tilted her head slightly, and said with a somewhat bewildered look: "I just can't imagine that His Majesty would be so domineering, he is such a delicate person, hehe , What a man!"
Hua Yunfei gave her a strange look, and suddenly asked: "Do you like my elder brother?"
Sister Sun's pretty face turned red, and she hastily denied it: "No way! You...don't talk nonsense."
Hua Yunfei couldn't help laughing and said: "If you don't have it, you don't have it. Why do you look like a guilty conscience. Don't worry, I'm a strict-mouthed person, and I won't say it outside."
"I'm sorry you don't dare, or else..." Sister Sun cast a glance at Hua Yunfei, and threatened, "I know how to use Gu. If you dare to offend me, you must look good to me."
Hua Yunfei snorted, turned his head to look at the silent but seemingly endless warriors following behind them, and frowned slightly. Younger Sister Sun glanced at him and said, "Why, are you unhappy about the sequelae? Why are big men so stingy?"
Hua Yunfei said: "I'm too lazy to be angry with you. I think there are too many of you here."
Sister Sun's big, beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and she said in amazement: "How come, this is building a house for His Excellency! Can it be built if there are fewer people?"
"Do you know that the supreme lord in your heart is just a low-ranking ninth-rank sesame official?" Hua Yunfei didn't say this, he just sighed lightly, thinking with great concern: "After getting along with Lao Mao for a long time, and getting to know the tycoon again, even I started to lose my tune in doing things."
At the same time, Ye Xiaotian was rushing to Lijiazhai with people. Zhou Bantou, who had just been transferred back to the fast shift from the mail room, followed Ye Xiaotian closely, and asked as he hurried on his way: "My lord, do you have a plan in mind when you go to Li's Village?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "At this time, what can I do, but it happens to be such a good opportunity, how can I not make good use of it? Get you back first, even if this matter can't be done, how can he, the king of the county, do it?" Take back the order just issued? This is not a child's play."
When Zhou Bantou heard this, he couldn't help but worry: "My lord, those out-of-war people don't fear the king's law. Even if the magistrate came in person, they might not be in awe. My lord has no plan, so please be careful. In fact, the methods used to deal with Qimuna and others will not work in front of these people."
As the saying goes: "Those who are arrogant are afraid of being stunned!" These tribal people are different from Qi Mu, they are not as overbearing and arrogant as Qi Mu, but once they are provoked, they will be more difficult to deal with than people like Qi Mu, because once they are provoked, they will be more difficult to deal with. , Regardless of the consequences, the ignorant are fearless!
Ye Xiaotian smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, I have seen how lawless people like them are when I was in Guiyang. This kind of people are all compliant, and I will play by ear!"
