ten mile river moon

Chapter 4 Reaching the Border Town

Recently, Liu Chengyue has had a happy and painful life. The happy thing is that when I meet Li De on the street, the other party dare not fart. I want to quit my job.

If the Ministry of Household Affairs wants to be modernized, it is the Finance Bureau. Although I wanted to take the finance exam before, I don't want to settle accounts every day!On the first day of work, Liu Chengyue didn't do anything, just watched others make abacus, and she didn't even know how to use the abacus.

After several days of devil training and "reasonable" assignment of tasks, Liu Chengyue finally contracted all the paperwork without having to keep calculating. The result can still be calculated in ten minutes.

As a result, Liu Chengyue, who hadn't had time to congratulate herself for her wit, was immediately tossed to death by the cries of poor people from all over the country. Judging from the papers alone, it is estimated that the entire northern Chu State is a poor county, and everyone came to ask for money, but the emperor's approval was not enough. Don't let it go, at this time, Liu Chengyue has to think of various ways to convince everyone that the treasury is really very poor, and everyone must be self-reliant.

Liu Chengyue, who thought this was the limit, hadn't had time to breathe a sigh of relief, and all the old ministers came to talk to her again. This one said that since her daughter met Liu Chengyue, she didn't think about tea and food, so she wanted to marry Liu Chengyue.

Liu Chengyue is weak, Zhang Shangshu, are you kidding me?I haven't seen your daughter, okay? !

Next, General Li, Wang Shangshu, Li Ge and other people also came to look for me. Liu Chengyue really wanted to cry. I am a gay, gay, and I can’t give your daughter happiness. Hey, why do you all come to me? There is also a No. [-] and No. [-] on the top, everyone!

But after thinking about the champion who is as strong as a butcher and the second place who is short and pockmarked, Liu Chengyue seems to know why she is so popular, but is it my fault for being handsome?I don't want to be so handsome either!

Liu Chengyue, who wanted to cry without tears, finally couldn't take it anymore after working for a month. She went home and discussed with her mother to be a local official. Liu's mother, who thought she would object, unexpectedly supported Liu Chengyue's decision. Even started packing that night.

Satisfied, Liu Chengyue handed over a letter of transfer application to the emperor and waited for a reply with peace of mind. During the month of working in the household department, Liu Chengyue's business ability was really not very good. How well do you expect a person who knows how to use it to do a special abacus job?

Liu Chengyue originally thought that she would have to wait a few days for a reply, but she didn't expect to be admitted to the palace by the emperor the next day.Still in the imperial study room, Liu Chengyue stood in front of the imperial case, and brought out a speech that he had already prepared.

After finishing speaking, Liu Chengyue anxiously waited for the emperor's reply. Unexpectedly, the emperor did not say a word, and wrote the imperial decree with a flick of a pen. After showing it to Liu Chengyue, he called The Grand Duke who was standing outside took down the imperial decree.

Until returning home, Liu Chengyue was still a little dazed, so it's over?It was much better than expected, the whole person was so happy that Feiqi Liu Chengyue went to bed after washing up early.

When he went to court the next day, Grand Duke Fuman next to the emperor took out yesterday's imperial decree. After reading it out, the whole court was a little shocked. This new scientific researcher has only been on duty for more than a month, how could he become a small county magistrate in a border town? ?Could it be that he has lost the emperor's favor?Some old ministers were fortunate that the marriage was not settled at the beginning!

However, another imperial decree that followed made everyone even more confused, one hundred taels of gold, ten pearls, one hundred pieces of cloth... How could these things be rewarded to a courtier who fell out of favor?So what exactly does this mean?The ministers talked a lot.

No matter what other people think, Liu Chengyue went home directly with the things rewarded by the emperor and the imperial edict of appointment. There was already a carriage parked in front of Liu's house. The carriage and the guards in silver spear armor behind the carriage didn't say much.

After getting into the carriage, Liu Chengyue directly ordered someone to drive away. The people watching outside Liu's house in the capital looked at the carriage going farther and farther, and felt very sad. This official position was demoted before it was warmed up.

Li De, who was also watching the excitement in the crowd, was extremely happy. He had calculated thousands of times, but he didn't expect that this kid actually got a chance. Although he really wanted to teach Liu Chengyue a lesson, he couldn't do it. Who dares to move?Is it too long?Now he has finally been demoted, some of the poor and wild people in the border town feel better about it.

On the flat official road, two carriages were advancing one after the other.In the carriage, Liu Chengyue opened the curtain with some excitement to look at the scenery outside. In fact, there were only trees outside except weeds, but Liu Chengyue, who was going out for the first time in this time and space, was still a little excited.

Mother Liu who was sitting across from him was also a little funny seeing him like this, just like all mothers who tolerate naughty children, she talked about Liu Chengyue but still had a smile on her face.

After walking for nearly a month, on a certain afternoon, everyone finally arrived at the border town. The dilapidated city gate showed that this was not a bustling town.

Walking through the street, people on the street watched the carriage moving forward with some curiosity. When they saw the carriage driving towards the county government office, several people in the crowd looked at each other and left.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the county government office, and there was a person walking through the door. The person who came was wearing a hat and a goatee that was standard on the magic stick, and a pair of triangular eyes embedded in the long and pointed face, making him look a bit wicked.

Just as Liu Chengyue was looking at him, the man stepped forward and bowed, "This must be the new county magistrate Liu, right? In Xiadingmao, he is the master hired by the county magistrate before the county yamen. Everything has not been settled yet. , so I specially stayed to help.”

Liu Chengyue also said politely: "Master Lao Ding will be responsible for all the affairs after that." After speaking, he followed Ding Mao into the county office.

This county government office looked dilapidated from the outside, but it couldn't be more dilapidated when walking inside. Fortunately, the house was not bad, it didn't leak from wind or rain, and it didn't look shaky.

Considering the transfer of local officials to accommodation, basically all the local county offices in Northern Chu have a public hall in the front, a small courtyard in the back, a study room, two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a living room. The rooms are not very big. , but tidy up is not bad.

After successfully moving into the county government office, Liu Chengyue asked Mr. Ding to call someone from the county government office to wait in the study.In addition to the master, there are six yamen servants and one clerk in the county yamen. These six yamen servants are all local, and the county government pays them monthly.Wu Zuo is recruited by the local government and reported to the imperial court, who will be paid monthly by the imperial court.

After Liu Chengyue had some conversations, she also got to know these people a little bit. The attitudes of the six yamen servants were all average. After all, no matter which county magistrate, it was the magistrate who gave the money, and the attitude of doing things still needs to be refined.

Wu Zuo Liu Cheng is also a local. He learned about Wu Zuo from others in his early years, and he also has some medical experience, but his autopsy skills should not be very good. He came to the county government purely to earn a living.

After getting to know the staff of the county government, Liu Chengyue began to read the files. After all, people can tell lies, but files can't.

After reading the dossiers for several days, Liu Chengyue really started her life as a county magistrate. She led people to purchase necessities such as rice noodles, tables and chairs, and bought a batch of small saplings under everyone's puzzled eyes. The backyard, there is no way, the backyard is bare, there is really no greenery at all.

The things rewarded by the emperor were also used by Liu Chengyue to build roads, renovate shantangs, help the poor, etc., and in the end they were almost used up.The imperial court allocates funds every month, but because the amount is not large, if you want to start the construction, you still have to hand in the paperwork. After thinking about it, when you tried your best to reject the appropriation application when you were in the household department, Liu Chengyue had to give up in the end.

Unknowingly, a month has passed in the border town. In this month, Liu Chengyue has gone to church dozens of times that can be counted on his fingers, and the solutions are only trivial matters.

Usually, what Liu Chengyue does the most is patrol around, looking for ways to make a fortune.But after searching for a month, Liu Chengyue still couldn't find it. There was no way. Although the border town was close to the Luoshui River, the water was too urgent to build a port, and the good geographical advantage was useless.

In addition, this side is surrounded by mountains, one after another, and the only way to the outside world is the official road. It is hard for a person to become rich in such a place with underdeveloped water and land transportation.

Liu Chengyue, who struggled for a long time, couldn't find any way to get rich in the end, so she had no choice but to let him go.Continue to live a peaceful life of eating and dying.

Although when I was a county magistrate in a border town, I didn't have to make plans every day, and I didn't have to deal with the daughters of many ministers to promote Dafa.However, as the saying goes, salted fish can still count on turning around, and Liu Chengyue, who has no pursuit, can only entertain himself.

The next day, Liu Chengyue found a good local carpenter and gave him a stack of drawings.Three days later, Liu Chengyue successfully got what she wanted.

Calling the master and others to sit around the stone table in the yard, Liu Chengyue opened the small wooden box she brought back.Mr. Ding looked at the many small cubes in the box, picked up one and looked up, down, left, and right, but he still didn't find any mystery. It was worth the county magistrate calling the big guys to watch together.

Liu Chengyue looked at everyone's bewildered faces, and smiled secretly, haha, I don't understand now, this is a must-have product for home travel, leisure and entertainment that only humans in the 21st century understand.

"This is called mahjong, and it's something that only four people can play." Liu Chengyue picked up a piece of wood and said, and explained the gameplay to everyone. After a while, there was a sound of wood pieces colliding in the courtyard.

At this time, Liu Chengyue would never have imagined that because of his unintentional actions, Biancheng would become a famous mahjong town in the whole country.Mahjong also quickly occupied the market, and playing mahjong has become a necessary activity for the people of Northern Chu.Of course, these are things for later.
