A group of yamen servants stood in the hall, looking distorted and impatient.

"Come and meet the magistrate."

Cao Youde spoke out.

"I have seen the magistrate."

A group of people bowed their hands to Chen Daomin feebly, and continued to whisper.

"Bastards! Look at what you look like! As servants of the imperial court, you are crooked, how decent you are!

"Now go and clean up the backyard for me immediately."

Chen Daomin slapped the gavel and shouted at the people below.

"My lord, His Royal Highness King An has ordered us not to do private work."

The man who looked like the foreman of the yamen servants cupped his hands.

"Who are you? You are paid by the imperial court, and now this official has the final say!"

Chen Daomin pointed at the man and said.

"The villain is the foreman, and they all call me Boss Wang.

My lord, I'd better see His Royal Highness King An before making a conclusion. It's getting late, and my wife is still waiting for the villain to come home for dinner, so I won't accompany you. "

Ban Wang arched his hands and strode outside.

Seeing this, the other yamen servants hurriedly followed.

"You bastard! What a bunch of bastards! Mr. Cao, let me know that I'm going to recruit a new batch of yamen servants, and all these people will be dismissed."

Chen Daomin's face flushed red with anger, and he was panting heavily.

"My lord, is this too serious?"

Cao Youde advised.

"The most indispensable thing in the world is people. The announcement will be made tomorrow, and the common people will not come to vote by then."

Chen Daomin vowed.

According to his past experience, being a clerk in the government office is a very popular profession, and many people also want to enter the government as a yamen servant through the back door.

"Yes."

Cao Youde bowed and said.

"My lord, why don't you go to Xiaguanna County Yamen to rest for a night, and stay here after you have rested tomorrow."

Cao Youde suggested.

"Then bother Brother Cao Xian."

Chen Daomin looked at the dilapidated magistrate's yamen, and he who was used to pampering naturally couldn't bear the environment here, so he readily agreed.

From the bottom of my heart, I couldn't help adding another impression point to Cao Youde.

"Well, this man will come."

……

The magistrate's yamen was rebuilt along with the renovation of this batch of old cities, and it is only a street away from the magistrate's yamen.

When Chen Daomin stood in front of the newly built magistrate's yamen, his eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

"This? Is this the county government office?"

Chen Daomin is not sure.

Looking at the three-storey concrete building in front of him, except for a stone tablet engraved with "Lingnan Prefecture Magistrate's Office" at the door, this place has nothing to do with Dagan's county office at all.

"My lord, this is our newly built county office in Lingnan Prefecture. In order to save land, it has three floors.

Each floor of the office building in front is divided into different areas, and the living area is behind the office building. "

Cao Youde introduced.

"My lord, come with me, this is the residence of the lower officials."

Cao Youde took Chen Daomin to the back of the office building, which was an area larger than the rest area of ​​the magistrate's yamen.

There are pavilions, rockery and flowing water. Although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

Seeing the living quarters of this county government office, and comparing the dilapidated living quarters of his magistrate's office just now, Chen Daomin admitted that he was a little sad at this moment.

Chapter 55

Cao Youde walked along the path, through the delicately arranged garden path, and brought Chen Daomin to a guest room.

"My lord, you can rest here tonight. The conditions are simple and the hospitality is not good. Please forgive me."

Chen Daomin looked at the bright white wall in front of him. The layout and decoration in the room were almost all novelties that he had never heard of or seen before.

There are only a few that I recognize.

I had seen the glass mirror on the table before in the capital, and the shrewd wife at home spent three months of her salary in order to buy that mirror.

Why did that bed look so wide, Chen Daomin secretly pressed it a few times while Cao Youde was not paying attention.

"So soft!"

Chen Daomin felt a piece of softness in his hands, and he could imagine how comfortable the bed was before he slept.

"My lord, this is a flush toilet. My lord only needs to pull the rope after going to the toilet to flush away the dirt.

This is the hot water switch, as long as you break it, hot water will flow out, adults can take a hot bath later, there is soap there. "

Cao Youde introduced it to Chen Daomin.

"In this scorching summer, the scorching heat is hard to dissipate. The lower official even asked the adults to prepare ice cubes to cool down the heat. If the adults feel cold at night, just put the lid on."

As he spoke, Cao Youde pointed to a long iron box filled with ice cubes.

"Where did Lingnan Mansion get the ice this summer?"

Chen Daomin was puzzled.

You must know that Dagan has the habit of storing ice every year, but this is Lingnan, where there are so many ice cubes for them to store.

Even in the capital, there is ice everywhere in winter, but that is something only the rich and powerful can afford.

Storing ice cubes is an extremely expensive matter, how extravagant is this county government?

"My lord, this is the ice cube made by the saltpeter ice making method in my Lingnan Prefecture, it's not a secret in my Lingnan.

His Royal Highness King An came up with this method, and now almost everyone in Lingnan with a little wealth uses this method to make ice to cool down, and it doesn't cost much. "

Cao Youde explained.

"Ah."

It's King An again, why is King An's shadow everywhere in Lingnan.

Chen Daomin now hates Wang An deeply, and his head hurts when he is mentioned.

"Brother Cao Xian has a heart"

Chen Daomin said.

At this moment, the bottom of his heart is already sour.

"Which one is the magistrate's yamen? Why is the county's yamen built a hundred times better than the government's yamen?"

Chen Daomin felt uncomfortable when he thought that he would move back to that old mansion tomorrow.

On the second day, Chen Daomin didn't get up until the sun was up, because the guest room of the county government office was too comfortable, he had never experienced such a thing before.

"Should I talk to Cao Youde about changing the government office into this kind of look?"

Chen Daomin pondered in his heart.

Waiting for him to eat the breakfast brought by his servants, Chen Daomin saw Cao Youde again.

"Master Chen, it stands to reason that you should go to see His Highness King An today, otherwise it would be bad manners and it would be bad if someone caught you."

Cao Youde said from the side.

With yesterday's experience, Cao Youde will be able to play the role of Chen Daomin Yongsei at this time, and he has gradually adapted to this role.

This export is for Chen Daomin's consideration.

"Well, my virtuous brother has a heart, so I ask my virtuous brother to guide me to meet King An."

Although Chen Daomin belongs to the prince, he still has to do his best.

Prince An's Mansion.

Li Su is Chen Daomin who met in the conference hall.

The two of them just exchanged polite words, and ended the meeting hastily.

As long as the etiquette is up, Chen Daomin will naturally not stay to flatter Li Su.

And what he was going to do next, I'm afraid he was doomed to offend Li Su, so why put on a show.

The original batch of yamen servants had already been dismissed by his order.

Today, as he expected, another group of people were recruited by Cao Youde's announcement, which enriched the team of yamen servants.

Prefect Yamen.

Chen Daomin summoned the court officials of all sizes in Lingnan Mansion and held a meeting.

The content of the meeting boils down to one thing.

Abolish the unreasonable decrees issued by King An in Lingnan Prefecture and executed by the government.

After the order was issued, beyond Chen Daomin's expectation, there was no resistance.

The civil servant team in Lingnan Mansion seemed to be like puppets, meticulously implementing the orders issued by Chen Daomin.

The first thing to be abolished was the so-called city entry tax. The magistrate’s yamen issued an announcement announcing that merchants entering the city would no longer need to pay the so-called city entry tax of one ten taxes.

In the future, when merchants pay taxes, the tax officials of the yamen will come to collect them according to the method stipulated in the Dagan law.

The second is to no longer recognize the identity of traffic coordinators, and in the future no so-called traffic coordinators will be allowed to fine them casually on the street.

In short, all systems that Chen Daomin finds unreasonable will be abolished.

Surprisingly, Li Su didn't do anything other than come to the door and berate Chen Daomin.

It was as if his dignified feudal lord had conceded defeat.

The work of "putting order out of chaos" in Lingnan Prefecture is in full swing.

Chen Daomin felt proud of the spring breeze, as if he held the power of Lingnan City in his hands at the snap of his fingers.

In order to ask for credit to the prince, after his decree was carried out meticulously, he wrote a letter to the prince.

Every line in the letter was full of disdain for Li Su, as if Li Su was not worthy to be his opponent at all, let alone His Royal Highness's opponent.

The letter was sent to the capital by a fast horse.

Chen Daomin could already imagine that the prince would appreciate him more when he saw this letter, and that he would be able to make a fortune by then.

Prince An's Mansion, Chamber of Commerce.

At this time, there were more than a dozen heavyweights from Lingnan Mansion sitting in the hall, all of whom were Li Su's core staff.

"I said Your Highness, why did you ask Lao Cao to be a dog for that Chen Daomin? This Lingnan is our territory, so there is no need to let him like this."

Qi Yong dissatisfied loudly.

"You are the dog for Chen Daomin. Whether you can speak or not, I am bearing the burden of humiliation."

Cao Youde rolled his eyes at Qi Yong, speechless.

"Qi Shoubei, when did your highness suffer, your highness must have his own deep meaning."

An official said.

Except for Qi Yong, many of the people present here were the ones called by Chen Daomin at that time.

The fact that Chen Daomin's government orders can be carried out meticulously is also due to Li Su's instruction.
