The Path of the Sage

Chapter 822: The county government has ten rooms

Views:

The sound of thousands of monuments resonates throughout the world.

Qingguo, Luo County, a place with simple folk customs, convenient transportation and rich resources.

Yan Yukong was sitting in the back office processing documents when he suddenly heard a strange voice. He instinctively stood up and stood solemnly.

"Your salary is the blood and sweat of the people. It is easy to abuse the people, but it is hard to deceive God!"

After hearing the majestic voice, Yan Yukong hurried to the front yard and soon came to the stone tablet of warning, where he saw sixteen large characters engraved on it.

Yan Yukong's face darkened. He threw back his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked towards the back yamen.

"Asshole Fang Yun, this is a warning stone tablet! How many people wanted to write on it but failed, but you, who just became the county magistrate, can write a warning motto. Just with these sixteen words, you can get a B grade in the "official administration" category, and the worst is B lower! I thought you would be intimidated by the officials of Ning'an County, but now it seems that you may be able to turn the tables! Do I want to compete for this official administration category?"

Yan Yukong walked back while thinking.

The Qi State and Huang County far away.

Li Fanming cursed, "Is this going to make us live? You don't even have the friendship of a friend from Shengxu! On the first day of being a county magistrate, he's like a king speaking the law of heaven, issuing a dragon-like imperial decree, and why is he taking the imperial examination? Asshole, if I had known, I wouldn't have taken the imperial examination with him, and I would rather have become a Jinshi a year later! You stupid rabbit, what are you looking at?"

The big rabbit pointed at the sixteen words, bowed slightly, then pointed at Li Fanming in a contemptuous manner, with a look of contempt, and shook its paw gently.

"You dare to say I can't do it? I'll tear your rabbit mouth into six pieces!" Li Fanming moved forward, and the big rabbit jumped two meters high, jumped onto the courtyard wall, then jumped out and disappeared without a trace.

Capital city, the residence of the left prime minister.

Left Prime Minister Liu Shan and Ji Zhibai were drinking tea and chatting.

Ji Zhibai complained in a low voice: "Master Geng is too careless. A dignified Hanlin was knocked unconscious in public. I don't know how many people will laugh at us. But fortunately, I have been prepared. Once Fang Yun participates in the literary gathering in Ning'an County today, I will definitely make him look weak! Even if I can't tarnish his reputation as a writer, I will find a way to attack him for his poor poetry skills."

"My nephew's husband was just careless. It's a small matter." Liu Shan sipped his tea nonchalantly.

"My dear teacher, you are right. I really hope that the barbarians will go south ahead of time and destroy Ning'an." Ji Zhibai picked up the teacup and was about to drink it when the Dragon Roar Imperial Edict spread.

The teacup in Liu Shan's hand didn't move at all, and the tea didn't even spill out, but the teacup in Ji Zhibai's hand fell to the ground with a bang and shattered into pieces.

Ji Zhibai was shocked. He said, "This... Is this the sound of the stone tablet? This sound does not contain the power of the Holy Path, but it contains the aura of the Emperor. How could the traitor Fang Yun say that?"

Liu Shan slowly put down the teacup, frowned slightly, and wondered what he was thinking about.

"This is extremely bad! He actually inscribed something on the warning stone tablet. The officials of Ning'an County will definitely be intimidated by him, and a few of them may even turn against him!"

Liu Shan said slowly: "Ning'an County is too chaotic after all. I'm afraid someone has already secretly defected. However, I'm here. Everything is under control!"

Ji Zhibai immediately said, "Master, you are right. You are in charge of the overall planning, and I am the one who does the running. The most important thing for the Prime Minister's Mansion right now is my sister-in-law's pregnancy. What does the doctor say?"

Liu Shan, who was always serious, showed an unconcealable joy on his face. He said, "Today, the doctor just used the medical book to check the pulse of Mingzhi's wife and determined that they are twins, a boy and a girl, and they are in good health!"

Ji Zhibai said happily: "Congratulations, Master. This is a sign of the birth of a dragon and a phoenix! According to this time calculation, when the dragon and the phoenix are born, it may be the day you return to Qing Kingdom!"

“Hahaha…” Liu Shan couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

Qing Imperial Palace. Imperial Study.

Snapped…

A flawless white jade Ruyi was thrown to the ground and exploded into pieces.

"Ridiculous! How can a mere county magistrate speak of the laws of heaven and issue an imperial decree like a king! He is obviously a false saint, how can he have the aura of a king!" Qing Jun breathed rapidly, hatred bursting out of his eyes.

Officials from Qing and Jing have been negotiating for the past two days, and various pieces of news have been arriving at Qing Jun's desk. Jing, which was originally suppressed by Qing, has now completely turned the tables and has been constantly citing the contents of Qing's documents to Jing. Insulting statements often appear, which almost made Qing Jun explode with anger.

In the Ning'an County government office, Fang Yun remained calm as usual.

Those sixteen words came from the "Promulgation of Precepts" by the last emperor of the Later Shu during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period in the ancient Chinese country. Later, Song Taizong intercepted these sixteen words to warn all officials, and they were also reused by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. Such powerful words of admonition, when placed in the Shengyuan Continent, are naturally like the imperial edict of the monarch, which carries the law of heaven.

Fang Yun's private soldiers were all surprised and excited.

"Congratulations, Your Excellency. These are words of advice to officials. They are thought-provoking and thought-provoking. They are also widespread among the human race. They will surely make your administrative rating soar!"

"Each of these sixteen words is a gem, as if it were gifted by heaven. Only a virtual sage could produce them." Fang Yingwu said.

Some Ning'an County officials immediately looked at Fang Yingwu, thinking that this man was so smart. It was nothing for Fang Yun to write an imperial poem before, after all, he had no official position. But now Fang Yun is obviously a county magistrate but he is like a king announcing an order. Someone with ulterior motives can spread rumors and slander Fang Yun for his disloyalty.

However, Fang Yingwu attributed the reason to Xu Sheng in order to shut others up.

The two Ma Man Hous had walked back to Fang Yun's side, one of them holding the seal of a ninth-rank official.

Fang Yun said, "Who is the chief secretary of the etiquette room?"

"It's me." Then a scholar over forty years old with a fair face came out.

"From today on, you will take over the position of Dianshi." Fang Yun ordered.

All the officials looked at the new prefect.

In the county government, there are less than ten officials with real ranks, and below the officials are the clerks.

There are ten rooms in the county government office. In addition to the clerk room, household room, ritual room, work room, military room and criminal room corresponding to the six ministries, there are also receiving and dispatching room, accounting room, recruitment room and warehouse.

The head of the ten rooms is the chief secretary, and the rest are clerks, clerks or bookkeepers.

Almost everything in the county government goes through the Ten Houses, so the Ten Houses have enormous power in the county.

However, the petty officials in the ten rooms had no rank and were far inferior to officials in status. Apart from having some power, their status was the same as that of ordinary people.

The power of the county magistrate, county magistrate, chief clerk and registrar is reflected in their ability to control the ten households.

Although the status of the Rites Room is higher than the following four rooms, its actual power is very small and it belongs to a quiet government office. No one expected that Fang Yun would directly let Yu Bachi, the chief secretary of the Rites Room, temporarily take over the position of the Dianshi.

For Bashi, this was almost a step to heaven.

Yu Bachi was not close to the left prime minister's party, but was related to a famous local family. He was quite talented and knowledgeable. Because he was good at government affairs, he was promoted from an ordinary clerk to the position of general secretary.

It would be extremely difficult for Yu Bachi to make further progress.

"I will follow your orders, sir!" There was no surprise on Yu Bachi's face. He walked forward steadily and raised his hands to take the official seal of the historian.

The officials suddenly realized that Yu Ba Chi had already joined Fang Yun! (To be continued...)
