There is a little husband in the home of crossing

Li Yaonan rested for one night, and went to the yamen to report the next day. Prefect He was very generous to him, giving him any information he wanted.

From files from previous years to population and household registration, Li Yaonan was dizzy looking at it, and was completely speechless to He Zhifu. As an official, he really didn't know what to say, but it's no wonder, Dali, Ningzhou and other places changed Several prefects, but Mr. He can be steady, this is also a kind of ability.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and Li Yaonan was gradually getting used to the affairs of the government office. This was also due to Master He's cooperation. Tong Zhi seemed to have a different opinion, but before he found out about Li Yaonan's details, he did not dare to blatantly express his opposition .

Li Yaonan's life in the yamen was very smooth, and it was much easier than in the Imperial Academy. If he wanted to be smooth, he believed that he would have no problem integrating here, and he could make a lot of money.

In the past few days, he couldn't be too kind, his hands cramp when receiving presents, and the gift warehouse at home almost couldn't be piled up. It really made him feel what it means to be a corrupt official. Facing the gifts sent by local wealthy families, it is not good to return them. Even though he is not a money-minded person, seeing the room full of valuables, he was still terrified. For the first time, he felt that he was actually a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

After thinking about it, Li Yaonan decided to ask the prefect He for advice. No matter what kind of person the prefect He is, since he can serve as the prefect in Yuxi for four consecutive years, he must have his own way of survival.

Li Yaonan never underestimated anyone, especially those in the officialdom.

He randomly brought some gifts, all of which were silk, embroidery, and some popular gadgets in Beijing that Fu Lang insisted on bringing.

At this time, Li Yaonan missed his husband very much. There is a big difference between someone taking care of the inner house and someone not taking care of it. I didn't sleep well.

When he came to the He Mansion, the housekeeper respectfully welcomed him in. He Zhifu is a person who enjoys himself very much. In Changchun, the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard are so beautiful, walking in a sea of ​​flowers and smelling the faint fragrance makes one feel refreshed.

Li Yaonan secretly guessed that Zhifu He must have been frustrated in his official career, so he simply spent his energy on enjoying himself.Just thinking about it in my heart, there was a burst of silk and bamboo music in front of me.

The steward went in first to report, and after a short while, Prefect He came out with a rather surprised expression, as if he did not expect Li Tongpan to come to visit, after all, Master Li's various performances in the government office all proved that he wanted to do something big One day, he ran counter to his leisurely magistrate.

"My lord Li came here today, it's really full of splendor, walk around, sit in the room." Zhifu He said with a smile, quickly calming down his emotions.

Li Yaonan asked someone to send a congratulatory gift: "Your Majesty, you are too polite. I will take the liberty of visiting today. Please don't bother me."

"What did Lord Li say? I am very happy if you can come here. I hope Lord Li will give you some advice for my useless brats." Zhifu He said with a smile, looking at He Li, unconsciously. Showing a touch of nostalgia: "This is something from the capital, I haven't been to the capital for many years, I don't know how much it has changed?"

"The sage is wise today, everything in Beijing is safe, and the people live and work in peace and contentment." Li Yaonan said as he followed Zhifu He into the house, and then the corners of his lips twitched, Master He really enjoyed it.

"Haha! Master Li is laughing at you." Zhifu He sat leisurely on a chair, surrounded by beauties, and a beautiful woman in the room danced lightly. Some of the beauties next to her were caressing the strings of the piano, some were half-embracing the pipa, and there was another beauty. The lady is graceful, sitting on the table and playing the flute.

Li Yaonan smiled and didn't say anything about it. If there was no husband, he might be a libertine. He doesn't agree with the magistrate's hobbies, but he won't object.

"Master Li, you're welcome, Lianyi will go over and serve you." Zhifu He pointed at a beautiful woman and smiled, winking at Li Yaonan.

Lianyi was the girl playing the piano, and upon hearing Zhifu He's order, her cheeks blushed, she shyly looked at Li Yaonan, and stepped forward lightly with lotus steps.The two beauties next to him showed a look of jealousy at the same time. Mr. Li is young and promising, who would not want to serve him.

Li Yaonan didn't refuse, just let her stand aside and serve tea.

Lianyi gave him a grievous look, her pupils were a little watery, but Li Yaonan turned a blind eye to it, and women only had tricks like this.

Magistrate He was a little unhappy, anyone who was in the mood, but there was someone pretending to be serious next to him, would feel upset, and said displeasedly, "Master Li doesn't like Ripple?"

Li Yaonan smiled faintly: "How could it be, Miss Lianyi is extremely beautiful, but she only loves her husband."

"Oh!" Zhifu He suddenly realized that he thought it was clear. He knew that there were people who only loved Shuang'er, and there was nothing he could do about it. There were all kinds of beauties in the house, but there was no Shuang'er alone. Embarrassed to only care about himself, he waved his hand and told all the beauties to go down.

Lianyi stomped her feet resentfully, but she didn't miss it very much. She can still compete with women, but they only like Shuang'er, so how can she fight, it's a pity that she is a big fish.

"Master Li is here today, what is the important thing?" Zhifu He asked seriously, he believed that there is nothing to go to the Three Treasures Hall, and he neither supported nor objected to Master Li's ideas, at most he would only give him Some positions are convenient, others are not.

"Exactly." Li Yaonan was not pretentious, and said with a smile: "Master He has been in Yunnan for several years, and many places in the lower officials are not clear, so I came here specially today, and I hope Sir He will give me some advice."

"Master Li has something to say." Master He smiled and looked kindly, despite his promises, but the meaning in his words did not contain any promises.

Li Yaonan was not surprised by this. Since Mr. He can be re-elected as the magistrate of Yuxi, no matter how incompetent he is, how can he be such a fool: "I will tell you the truth, I have received a lot of bribes in recent days, and I don't know how to deal with them. That's why I want to ask my lord if there is a practice in previous years."

After hearing this, Magistrate He felt relieved, and the smile on his face became more sincere: "Your Majesty Li, you don't need to worry about it. You can accept the gifts they give you. New officials have to go through this process when they take office. It's the same as when you go to visit Zhizhou, commonly known as worshiping the pier. .”

Li Yaonan nodded, and then asked: "Your official is new here, do you have any worries?"

Mr. He was a little surprised, it never happened that Mr. Li would ask him these things. Logically speaking, his fatuous magistrate is not very eye-catching, Mr. Li really thinks highly of him.

Mr. He was very happy and satisfied with Li Yaonan's discerning eyes. He didn't hide it immediately, and pointed out: "There are five famous families in Yuxi. Except for the Yan family, the other four are all local tyrants. It’s complicated. You have to remember not to act rashly. In addition, the Yi people also have their own set of rules. In their eyes, the patriarch is bigger than the government. If they can’t move, it’s better not to move. The Yi people will not let it go."

Li Yaonan frowned: "What if someone commits a crime?"

Master He twirled his beard, poured out a small glass of wine, took a sip, and said indifferently: "Give it to the chief of the Yi tribe, he will deal with it."

Li Yaonan only felt that his head was big. If it was true what Mr. He said, then what is the majesty of the government?

Mr. He sips the wine and eats the side dishes happily, only thinking that when Mr. Li encounters a few more misfortunes, he will naturally retreat in spite of difficulties and understand his good words.

Mr. He has two sons and two daughters, so he kept Li Yaonan for dinner that day, and did not let him go back until evening.

Li Yaonan couldn't refuse, walked out of the room, and stopped talking about business affairs in a sensible manner. The gift he brought, Mrs. He liked it very much, and everyone enjoyed it as a guest and host. Master He gave Li Yaonan an even higher look. Current affairs, knowing how to measure, knowing how to advance and retreat, depends on whether he will make a difference.

Returning home with a depressed mood, Li Yaonan didn't linger for too long. Seeing that June is approaching, the rice in Yunnan is ripening early, and the harvest in July is imminent. He doesn't have much time to think. Li Xiang, under the weight of the word Li, he didn't believe that he couldn't find a way out.

As long as Yunnan becomes rich, the local residents will have a better life, and the country's taxes will be raised, and the rest will be left alone. The current situation is that the government has been emptied, and formal channels will definitely not work.

The next day, Li Yaonan recruited all his guards and asked them to go to various townships and counties to investigate some local conditions, whether it was the customs or geographical environment, write them down for him.

Li Yaonan once again thanked Fulang for all the preparations, and asked him to bring a lot of guards out, otherwise he might be an unrefined commander now, the officials in the government office are divided into three factions, the magistrate, the co-prefect, and the state magistrate, he, the new official, took office , and how can it be moving.If you rashly order the yamen servants to do things, if they act obediently and disobey them, and lose their dignity, it will damage their dignity. It is better to let people understand the situation first, and then make plans.

As a result, the yamen soon discovered that the newly appointed judge had calmed down, wandering around every day, or looking at files, chatting casually with people, and becoming extremely leisurely.

Li Yaonan is actually very fortunate, no matter how complicated Yunnan is, at least it is not deeply involved with the capital. This is a barren land in the eyes of the capital officials. better.

The so-called gains and losses, think about it the other way around, Yunnan is far away from the capital, and the news is not easy to get through. If the magistrate He knew what he did in the capital, he might not be so polite to him. He can rest assured that he is bold in the territory of Yunnan. Pulling the tiger's skin and pulling the banner, the fox pretends to be the tiger!

However, the most important thing to do now is to know yourself and the enemy and win a hundred battles. He has always believed in one sentence, there is no relationship that cannot be broken, and there is no loophole that cannot be found. He does not believe that Yuxi will be an iron plate.
