Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Therefore, the only one who went to save Fan Shuheng was Liu Bai.

Li Er is very relieved of Liu Bai's work.

"Go and come back quickly, I will wait for you here."

Liu Bai shook his head and smiled lightly, and said to Fan Xiuxiu, "Girl, why don't you go with Liu, otherwise, Liu really can't find where the county government is?"

Chapter 1108 Liu Bai is Interested in the Immortality Medicine

Guan County is a lower county, which is under the jurisdiction of Yizhou. It is the most common type among the more than 1000 counties in the Tang Dynasty.

The only thing that stands out is that there is a water conservancy project that has existed for thousands of years.

Dujiangyan!

In the pre-Qin period, there were three major water conservancy projects.

One is Dujiangyan, located in Guan County, Yizhou.

The second is Lingqu, located in Xing'an, Lingnan.

The third is Zheng Guoqu, in Liu Bai's hometown, Jingyang County!

The historical status is the same, but the actual role played by Lingqu and Zhengguoqu can not be compared with Dujiangyan.

Guan County also got its name from this.

Otherwise, this small place is really not qualified to let the imperial court set up a special county

Sitting in the carriage, listening to Fan Xiuxiu's continuous recounting of the suffering at home.

Liu Bai bypassed the topic.

Ask Fan Xiuxiu specifically about Guan County's history, specialty products and the like.

Fan Xiuxiu talked about all the three major water conservancy projects in the pre-Qin period, and the carriage finally stopped outside the county government office in Guan County.

Liu Bai didn't get out of the car in a hurry, but found an accompanying Taiji employee and went in to inquire about the news.

Tai Kee's manpower spreads all over the world.

Even Liu Bai didn't know how many hidden stakes they had placed in various places.

But with Huang Chao here, everything is not a problem.

In his mind, there is a list of everyone.

Not long after, people from Taiji came out to report to Huang Chao, and Huang Chao replied to Liu Bai.

"Master, Fan Jun arrived a moment earlier than us, and has already gone in."

Liu Bai said lightly: "Are there any of us inside?"

Huang Chao understood Liu Bai's meaning, nodded, and gave a few instructions to the Taiji staff under him.

Until a critical moment, Liu Bai was unwilling to reveal his identity.

It's just a county magistrate, so there's no need to think about it.

Coming here is just a pure hope, to leave Li Er the space to be alone, and let him calm down.

After all, the people in Guan County couldn't get Liu Bai interested.

The only thing he was more interested in was the longevity medicine.

Now it seems that the longevity medicine is inseparable from the Fan family.

Liu Bai even suspected that the longevity medicine was concocted by the Fan family!

That's why he wanted to get in touch with the Fan family brothers and sisters more.

Observe their behavior.

Taiji's people in Guan County must not have a high status.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away, so burying the shadows is of no use at all.

Tai Kee's function is limited to gathering intelligence.

Supervising officials does not belong to their business scope.

Furthermore, there is no need for this.

The cost of training a Tai Ji spy is no less than training a county magistrate.

Not worth the candle!

Liu Bai realized that Fan Xiuxiu was really in a hurry.

It can be seen from this that the Chen family's bullying of men and women is not a lie for others to see.

"Brother Liu, why don't I go in?"

Fan Xiuxiu said sadly.

She thought about taking herself back to her two brothers.

"Don't be impatient, look, isn't this coming out?"

As soon as the words were finished, three or four yamen servants pushed and pushed Fan Jun, and a young man who looked to be about the same age as Fan Jun came out.

The yellow nest outside tapped on the carriage lightly.

"Young Master, Guan County Magistrate would like to invite you in for a briefing."

Liu Bai was too lazy to give face to a small county magistrate, but after thinking about it, he said, "Send them back and let Shen Wei follow me in."

He nodded to Fan Xiuxiu, got up and walked out of the carriage.

Shen Wei followed behind Liu Bai by himself, and walked towards the rear yamen under the ardent hospitality of the yamen servant.

Fan Jun and Fan Shuheng came to Huang Chao to thank them.

Huang Chao said lightly: "Go back first, my young master will be back soon."

Fan Jun and Fan Shuheng also saw that Liu Bai's identities were unusual, so they didn't dare to ask more questions.

Hou Ya!

At the age of 46, Chen Tao, the magistrate of Guan County, had already given up any further thought.

This age is the golden age of working hard in the officialdom.

But it also depends on where!

If it is in Guanzhong, or in the south of the Yangtze River, or in an important border town, whatever Chen Tao says, he has to climb up.

However, in Guanxian County, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, there is no ladder to climb up.

Even the people in the official department, I am afraid that they can only think of such a person after the evaluation every few years.

County magistrates are also divided into three, six, and nine grades.

The same is the county magistrate, the county magistrates of Chang'an County and Guan County, can they be compared?

For officials in Guanzhong, there is almost no difference between coming to Guanxian County and allotment.

If there is no accident, Chen Tao will work as the magistrate of Guan County until his death

In this case, it is impossible for him to become an official.

No one is willing to come, of course they will not agree to his appointment!

Most of the local officials in remote areas are like this.

It was just in time for the meal, and the food and drink had already been set up in the back office.

There are many mountains in the middle of Shu, and there are countless wild game in the mountains.

One of Chen Tao's few hobbies is scratching his mouth.

After driving away the servants and maids, he personally placed the dishes on the table.

Big silver carp is best braised in soy sauce.

This is a practice passed down from Chang'an Liu's family.

The head of the fish should face the main position.

Chen Tao deliberately straightened the fish, hoping that the guests could see his sincerity.

"Father, why did you let the Fan family brothers go?"

Chen Tao belongs to the rare late marriage and late childbearing.

Others get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and become fathers the next year.

Chen Tao didn't get married until he was almost 30 years old.

The only son, Chen Ying, just turned 16.

Since I was a child, I have no rules, and I will yell when I enter the door.

Chen Tao has nothing to do with this son.

His parents and wife loved him to the core.

Chen Ying sat down, lifted the chopsticks to eat the tenderest piece of meat under the fish.

Snapped--

Chen Tao slapped the chopsticks away.

"There are no rules! In the past, you were pampered by your father, but today you are not allowed to be presumptuous!"

Chen Ying looked at her father in surprise, feeling that he seemed to be a different person today.

After all, Chen Tao still couldn't see his son being wronged.

Pick out a piece of thick pork ribs from the plate next to it.

Put it in your son's bowl.

Carefully, I pulled a plate of pork ribs, so as not to appear empty.

"If you want to eat fish, let the kitchen do it again. Today, I have a distinguished guest for my father!"

Chen Ying became interested and said, "What distinguished guest? Could it be that uncle is here?"

Chen Tao shook his head and said, "This guest is much more honorable than your uncle. If you see him, you should be more cautious and polite!"

Hearing that it wasn't her uncle, Chen Ying became much less interested.

"Father has lied to me, can there be someone more noble than uncle in Sichuan?"

Chen Tao sneered and said, "Even in Shuzhong, there are quite a few people who are more noble than your uncle. Let alone Niu Jinda, governor of Yizhou, your uncle will pretend to be a grandson when he sees you!"

Chen Ying said displeasedly: "My uncle is pretending to be a grandson, so why don't you?"

Chen Tao stared, and Chen Ying didn't dare to say the following words.

"Anyway, be honest today! When you meet a distinguished guest, you should salute honestly. This is related to your father's future!"

Chapter 1109 These Are All Real Achievements

Under the leadership of the yamen servants, Liu Bai and Shen Wei came all the way to the back yamen.

Judging from Taiji's information, Chen Tao followed the route of corruption.

The imperial court was relatively stingy with the counties in Guanzhong.

All counties in Guanzhong have their own industries, and their finances are based on self-sufficiency, which can bring a lot of benefits to the court every year.

The situation in the counties in central Shu is much worse.

Taxes are not enough to make ends meet, and the imperial court has to spend a lot of money every year for the construction of the city's defenses in Guanxian County, as well as some infrastructure expenses.

Along the way, Liu Bai also took a few glances.

The construction of Guan County is still quite good.

From this point of view, although Chen Tao committed corruption, he did not gain much.

Whether it's Li Er or the big shots in the three provinces, they are all well aware of this situation.
