[Comprehensive] Code of conduct for famous ministers

Chensheng County is not far from the sea, just on the seashore. There are about seven or eight villages in the distance, and most of them rely on fishing for their livelihood.

It's just that the seaside is not peaceful, there are often pirates and bandits coming and going to plunder, money is still small, life safety is the most important thing, as time goes by, some capable people will relocate to the inland, and the rest will wait until they have money. This is also the main reason why Chensheng County is declining more and more.

Zhao Sheng, the head catcher, was the biggest official in the county before Yan Xiubai came. He looked less than 40 years old, tall and stalwart, and one could tell that he was powerful.

For Yan Xiubai's arrival, he was very excited, or overly excited, the stubble-faced man rubbed his hands, and he almost shed two male tears.

No wonder he lost his composure. Yan Xiubai only found out after the fact that the county magistrate hadn't come to Chen Sheng County for nearly a year. At the beginning, the affairs of the county were handled temporarily by the master and him. Later, the court did not send a county magistrate for a long time. Come on, they didn't get their salary for more than half a year, so the master threw his broken fan and resigned in a fit of anger.

In the past three months or so, he has basically been struggling with all the big and small matters in the county. Others are fine, but once he dealt with the paperwork-related matters, he, a rough man who only knows a few words, was dumbfounded.

When Catcher Zhao saw Yan Xiubai, it was as if he saw a savior!

When Yan Xiubai followed him into the room, his first impression was: Chaos!

All kinds of documents and files are piled up in a mess, almost filling every possible corner, not to mention the bookshelf, the only long table in the room is also full, the sunlight is blocked by the window , only some dim light can be shot in, the air is cloudy, and a musty smell can be clearly smelled.

Yan Xiubai frowned almost immediately.

Zhao Butou was a little embarrassed, he hurried over to open the window to clear the air, then rubbed his hands and said: "There are not many literate people in the yamen, since the master left, no one came here, don't worry, my lord. Later, I will call a few people to help clean up."

Yan Xiubai waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind. He walked around the room, and said in a gentle and gentle manner, "I'm new here, and I don't know much about the affairs of Chensheng County. In many places, I still need to rely on Zhao Butou."

Zhao Sheng obviously didn't expect him to say such a thing, and he couldn't help but feel more fond of the new county magistrate. He waved his hands again and again and said that he didn't dare to take it, but his face was relaxed and happy.

"Name: Zhao Sheng

Position: Chief Catcher of Chensheng County

Favorability +10

Please host keep up the good work! "

The sudden voice didn't surprise Yan Xiubai, the curvature of the corner of his mouth didn't change at all, he just thought calmly, it seems that catcher Zhao is indeed a careless and honest person, he is available and there is no need to be on guard.

After spending an afternoon, Yan Xiubai finally knew something about Chen Sheng County under Zhao Sheng's guidance.

"As you said, bandits are so rampant here, and the imperial court doesn't care?" He was a little puzzled.

"I have managed it before, about three years ago, a general soldier was transferred from the Songjiang Mansion, there were about 500 people, and it did have a certain deterrent effect at first, but later the bandits and the overseas gang The Japanese pirates hooked up, and the two sides fought a few times. Our side failed to win, and even the transferred adult fell into the sea. After that, no matter how much we ask, the superiors will not send troops to our side. .”

Yan Xiubai frowned. Although he copied books in the Imperial Academy for three years, it didn't mean he didn't know anything. He even knew a little more about some aspects than others. For example, the current prefect and the third The one from years ago was not the same one, but came from thousands of families.

Because of Concubine Wan Gui, the Wan family is very powerful now, but the Wan family itself doesn't have any talents that can be used, it only creates a mess in the court, and Li Xunhuan resigned because of the Wan family.

Yan Xiubai is just a small seventh-rank county magistrate now, he may doubt the Wan family in Songjiang Mansion, guess whether there is something tricky hidden in it, but he will not be so stupid as to confront the Wan family.

He was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Could it be that we just let it go and let the villages along the coast become the backyard of thieves?!"

Hearing this, Zhao Sheng immediately said: "That's not enough. Since knowing that the superior will not send troops, the subordinates have gathered some young men in their prime. Including the subordinates, there are a total of 86 people, barely able to deal with emergencies."

This approach is not bad, Yan Xiubai nodded approvingly.

Just when he was about to ask something, he heard the sound of footsteps running towards this side quickly, Yan Xiubai turned his head to look, and saw a small head poking in from the window.

The flexible eyes slid around the room, and Ji Tang said crisply: "Sister Shiyin asked me to call you to eat!"

Hearing this, before Yan Xiubai had time to say anything, Zhao Sheng scratched his head and said embarrassingly: "Look at me, the sky is going to be dark, it must be hard for you to travel and travel, and I dragged you to talk for a long time, hurry up Go back and rest, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

Yan Xiubai thought for a while, and said, "That's fine." Then he personally sent Zhao Sheng to the door. In this way, his favorability increased by another five points.

The place where the county magistrate lives is connected with the county government, which is a binary courtyard. Fortunately, there are quite a lot of rooms, so there is no need to worry about not being able to accommodate three people in one room.

The courtyard had been empty for nearly a year, so it was naturally not very clean. The old Chen I met earlier specially brought two people here.

When Yan Xiubai led Ji Tang back to the backyard, the lights had already been turned on in the room, and the smell in the air hadn't completely dissipated, and it was mixed with the smell of food.

There were three pairs of bowls and chopsticks neatly placed on the table. There were not many dishes, two vegetables, one meat and one soup, all made by Lin Shiyin.

Yan Xiubai took a sip of the soup and gave a thumbs up appreciatively.

Lin Shiyin smiled, she worked very hard today, tidying up the house, packing luggage and making dinner, she had never done these servant jobs before, she was very tired, but there was an indescribable sense of fulfillment.

"Wash your hands first before you eat." She walked over and took Ji Yan's hand, "Tangtang also needs to be washed, otherwise you won't be allowed to eat it."

Ji Tang was a little embarrassed, but also a little helpless, struggling hard and said: "Can you change your name, Ji Tang is very good." He is not a girl like Tangtang!

Lin Shiyin smiled softly, "I think it sounds nice."

"I think it's good too." Yan Xiubai on the side added insult to injury.

Two votes to one, the protest is void.

After driving for more than a month, the three of them were all tired, so they went back to their room early to rest after dinner.

Yan Xiubai was lying on the bed, but he couldn't fall asleep. The bed under him was an antique from some age, and it creaked when he moved a little, making it even more difficult to fall asleep.

The night here is too quiet, without the hustle and bustle of the capital, it suddenly reminded him of a long time ago, when he was in Changgemen, he was punished by Master Yang Qingyue to go to the back mountain wall for stealing alcohol, and the smell was damp and cold , It was so quiet that I could only hear my own heartbeat.

He still hasn't figured out why he was walking on the road in a good manner, and changed time and space in the blink of an eye. Hundreds of years later, he woke up on another person who looked very similar to him, and there was more in his mind. A strange thing calling itself a system.

Knowing that the current dynasty and the Tang Dynasty have been separated for hundreds of years, he is terrified. Even the Tang Dynasty in this world may not be the Tang Dynasty he has lived in for more than 20 years, because the Tang Dynasty in this world has Li Bai, but not Yang Yifei. There is Lingyan Pavilion and Tang Xuanzong, but there is no Changgemen, Cangjian Villa, Chunyang Palace, etc., these martial arts schools he is familiar with.

Yan Xiubai is just an ordinary disciple of Changge Daozi. He is not the best in martial arts, nor is he the most top-notch in medical skills. At best, he is a little better than other seniors in painting. Did he catch up with this kind of adventure that he didn't want at all? !

He just wants to go back!

Although the master was a little stricter, the brothers and sisters were a little more boring, and Master Qingyue was always talking about things, but he still wanted to go back.

This is not his home.

Then the thing that claimed to be a system said that if he wanted to go back, he had to complete the task. He was a loyal minister and a good minister, and his task was to assist the emperor, show compassion for the people, and become a generation of virtuous ministers that will last forever.

He has seen many virtuous ministers and good ministers, after all, Changge Gate is the hermitage of virtuous ministers and good ministers.

Poet fairy Li Bai, poet sage Du Fu, poet Wang Wei, and Zhang Jiuling who was a prime minister, none of them are famous ministers who have been passed down through the ages. The Changgemen have always taken it as their mission to help the community, but Yan Xiubai is not one of them.

He may be the most lazy person in the Changge family. He never thought of being an official, let alone helping the country and leaving his name in the annals of history. All he wishes in his life is to have one person and one piano, travel all over the rivers and lakes, and paint all over the beauties That's all.

And those brothers and sisters who had such ambitions didn't wear them, and he, a person with no intentions, had such an adventure. The world is absurd, nothing more than this.

Although being an official is not what he wants, this is the only chance after all, so no matter how difficult it is, he will do it.

He wants to go home.

Yan Xiubai got up, and began to draw up some future plans by candlelight.

There are many problems in Chensheng County, but the two most important ones are banditry and poverty.

For many things, he only has theoretical knowledge in books, but he is very clear about the fact that actual implementation and talking about it on paper are two different things.

Yan Xiubai is not a person without self-confidence, but he will not be overly proud either. Slowly groping and implementing, this is different from painting, it is something that cannot be done immediately.

When he lay back on the bed again, it was already midnight, he heard the soft creaking sound in the haze, and he decided that the first thing to do when he woke up tomorrow was to buy a new bed and come back...
