Ye Xiaotian is the busiest person in Hu County, he managed to settle Xu Boyi at the Changing Ceremony, and immediately had to go to the post station to wipe Hua Qingfeng's ass, fortunately, Jing Qianhu had something to do with Nanjing Military Minister Zhang Zhen, And he has a little relationship with Zhang Shangshu, otherwise, no matter how reasonable what he said, the army leader may not be able to listen to it.
After this matter was resolved, it was already very late. When Ye Xiaotian stepped into the house, it was dusk, and the last ray of sunlight had already been buried under the mountain peak. Hungry after waiting, Yaoyao greeted Ye Xiaotian with a loud cheer when he saw Ye Xiaotian coming back.
Ye Xiaotian touched Yaoyao's head with a smile, and said to Sister Sun: "How many times have I told you that you are in an officialdom, you can't tell what your schedule is, you don't have to wait for me, you can eat when it's time for dinner, Yaoyao is growing up At my age, I can't go hungry."
Sister Sun came up to meet her, and said with a sweet smile: "I see, Yaoyao must wait for you to come back."
Ye Xiaotian suddenly noticed that Doni had dressed up, even though she only applied a thin layer of makeup, her face had a fluffy effect. Her lips became much more beautiful under the light, and her pretty appearance reminded people of her charming style when she was on the bed.
This is a very tacit and interesting signal between the two. When Duo Ni dresses up a little, it is a signal of courtship. Of course, she hardly has the opportunity to use this signal, because most of the time Ye Xiaotian takes the initiative to touch it. to her bed.
However, a man will always feel happy if he can make a beautiful woman take the initiative to ask for love, "This little girl, on the bed, always frowns, looks unbearable, begging for mercy coquettishly, what do you say?" brother Take it lightly, I feel uncomfortable, so uncomfortable...', hehe, have you finally tasted happiness now?"
Ye Xiaotian snickered at her contentedly and happily, Douni lowered her head lightly, shyly brushed her hair from her sideburns, her pretty face was slightly flushed. She is in a hurry, really there is no need to be in a hurry, because she has received the news that the temple will send elders to visit the Venerable.
I haven't contacted the Venerable for such a long time, and the temple will always send people to come and have a look. Besides, the last time the Venerable was arrested and taken to Nanjing, they were very worried. Although the danger was saved in the end, the elders were worried and still I hope to persuade the venerable to abandon his official position and return to the temple.
When Duo Ni heard the news, she couldn't help feeling worried. Although she has become the woman of the venerable, she has not yet completed the mission entrusted by the temple. If the elders find out that she is not pregnant, will they find more women for Brother Xiaotian? Although Doni's jealousy is not strong, she also hopes that as few sisters as possible will share Brother Xiaotian's favor.
The family sat down in the flower hall, and the food was put on the table. Just as Ye Xiaotian picked up the rice bowl, Ruo Xiaosheng appeared at the door poking his head. Ye Xiaotian glanced outside and said, "What's the matter, come in and talk about it, don't be sneaky."
Ruo Xiaosheng entered the door, nodded and bowed, and said: "Yes! Master, there are two brocade-clothed men outside the gate of the mansion, wearing official hats and dragon robes. I don't know what officials they are. Anyway, they must be officials. They say yes ... Said to see the master."
Ye Xiaotian understood as soon as he heard it, frowned, and said: "Jin Yiwei? Just say that the master is not here!"
Ruo Xiaosheng said awkwardly: "Master, I... I told others that I want to inform you, Master."
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said: "You are an honest person, so let them come in."
Duo Ni pursed her lips, and said displeasedly: "The government doesn't let people rest even after they are released. Is this how the officials order people around?"
Ye Xiaotian said with a smile: "Your brother is no longer Dianshi, but Daixiancheng! Hehe, it's getting late today, just watch, there will be more people visiting tomorrow."
Ye Xiaotian stood up, bent down again, and whispered in her ear: "Wait for me in vain, brother will definitely go over tonight."
Duo Ni's face flushed red and had a fever when he told her off.
Yaoyao yelled: "Brother and sister Doni are whispering, no no no, they also want to listen."
Ye Xiaotian laughed and said, "Children can't hear such words."
Yaoyao pursed her lips and asked Dooni in disbelief: "Sister Dooni, is she not too young?"
Doni blushed and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, we are all big girls."
"Then what do you whisper, people will listen to it."
Duo Ni rolled her eyes and said: "Let's talk, let's talk... Yaoyao has been a beauty since she was a child, but now she grows more and more beautiful. I don't know who will be so lucky in the future and will marry our little beauty Yaoyao as a daughter-in-law .”
"Really?" Yaoyao smiled all over her face: "How can I be so good, hee hee..."
Ye Xiaotian, who had already walked outside, couldn't help but smile when he heard this conversation, this feeling is really warm. It's a pity that the parents and eldest brother are not here, otherwise it would be more perfect.
His idea of inviting his parents to Hu County was destroyed by Xu Boyi last time. He is an official, and he can't leave his post without purpose, let alone return to Beijing. If someone sends a few words casually, it may be difficult to convince the family. In the eyes of parents, especially sister-in-law, I am afraid that this place is regarded as a wild place. In their imagination, the people here are almost the same even if they are not cannibalistic savages. If you want to persuade them, you still have to make some careful preparations Only then.
"take it easy!"
Ye Xiaotian thought excitedly: "This has been promoted to the third level, and the eighth level in two years, can it be far behind?"
※※※
"Ye Dianshi!"
"Master Imperial Envoy!"
"Oh! I should call you now... Quanzhi Huxian County Chengye is the master!"
This tone is not right, Ye Xiaotian reminded him to be careful, and laughed without saying a word.
Lin Shilang flicked the tea leaves with the lid of the teacup, raised his eyelids and glanced at Ye Xiaotian, seeing Ye Xiaotian leaned over and only put half of his butt on the chair, the standard respectful appearance of a subordinate official when he saw a superior official, but... he The smile on his face was a little fake, but there was no real awe in it.
"This kid, he has a lot of guts. In a place with poor mountains and bad waters, have even the officials become tricky?"
Lin Shilang drooped his eyelids, and continued to shake the tea foam. He didn't have the heart to spend mushrooms with Ye Xiaotian. Ye Xiaotianzhi was not in the capital, so he couldn't use it for him. , Go back to the capital and prepare for Qiu Wei.
Lin Shilang sighed secretly, and said: "I have learned about your situation from the Hu County officials and gentry, and your reputation is very good. I heard that there was a severe drought last year, and you were the one who figured out a way to relieve the drought for the people. You The water conservancy projects built are still functioning today.”
Ye Xiaotian leaned forward and said: "If you serve one party, you should benefit the other party. This is what a subordinate official should do."
Lin Shilang said: "I also heard that you also made great contributions to suppressing a dragon of bandits last year."
Ye Xiaotian said: "Don't dare, dare not, the inspection department of this county is the one who wiped out the gangster gang, and the inspector Luo Xiaoyeluo made the great contribution."
Lin Shilang chuckled, and said: "It's been more than ten years since a gang of gangsters have been doing harm to this place. They couldn't be wiped out sooner or later, but they were wiped out when you were appointed as the county's history. Your credit, how is it possible."
Lin Shilang said something with a smile, Ye Xiaotian's heart trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but sit upright. It is not a secret in Hu County that he gave credit to the inspection department, but it is impossible for someone to tell Lin Shilang about this kind of thing. Lin Shilang can analyze to this level based on his experience, and he is indeed not easy to deal with.
When Ye Xiaotian was in the prison in the capital, he dealt with high-ranking officials every day. He received a lot of official knowledge from them, but it was fragmented, and there was still a certain gap with the experience he had in practice. He used it to deal with wild places like Huxian County. It's easy for a few small officials, but they are not enough to rely on such a big bureaucrat who really has a strategy.
Lin Shilang said regretfully: "Originally, based on your merits, if there is an official who speaks for you, you may not be able to remove the word "quanzhi". Xu Boyi is the chief culprit, but the emperor will inevitably turn his anger on the officials of Hu County, in this case, it is inappropriate for me to speak for you."
Ye Xiaotian looked fearful and fearful, and said: "Your Excellency has such a heart of cultivation, and the lower officials are already very grateful. Now, the lower officials are just a low-ranking official with a miscellaneous job, and have no obvious merits, so how dare they ask for promotion."
Lin Shilang paused as he moved the tea, and suddenly said: "Ye County Chancellor, the Hu people of Hu County, the names and surnames are just taken at will, unlike my Han children, father and son successively, the family is Yan Jin, you say...they Do you really care about changing your name? What's more, the imperial court still has generous rewards, why do they insist on not doing so?"
Ye Xiaotian sat up straight again, he knew that he was finally going to get to the point, Ye Xiaotian said: "My lord, in my opinion, the people of the Hu nationality should not object to changing their names, not to mention that there are tax reductions and exemptions." Benefits. In fact, it is not the people who really oppose Yisu, but the officials!"
Lin Shilang's expression tightened, his eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at Ye Xiaotian and said, "Officer? Which official?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "Of course it won't be a low-level official. Your Excellency thinks, what other officials are there?"
Lin Shilang's face calmed down, and he smiled and said, "Native officials? As far as I know, the two chieftains in Hu County were beheaded five years ago, and their families were also exempted from the right of hereditary native officials. After being able to change the land and return to the people, now there are only two officials in Hu County at most, and they are not hereditary, why should they care about Yisu?"
Ye Xiaotian sighed and said: "In the eyes of adults, only native officials above official level are called native officials, just like in the eyes of the imperial court, only rank officials are officials. Miscellaneous officials who I can't wait for are probably only a little higher. We are just like officials, but in the eyes of ordinary people, we are also officials.
The same is true in Huxian County. The native officials mentioned by the lower official do not only refer to those native officials appointed by the imperial court. , The authority is unparalleled, although it is not a native official, it is better than a native official.
The stricter the imperial court controls the local area, the stronger the attachment of the local people to the imperial court, the less control they have over the local area. Under such circumstances, how could they accept Yisu? As the leaders of the tribes, Gao and Li cannot do without their support, and it is inevitable that they have scruples. "
Lin Shilang's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he suddenly asked: "If I entrust this matter to you, can you make them change their minds?"
