Wearing a county magistrate to build infrastructure

noon.

Tang Zisheng returned to the county office with a basket in one hand. Tang Mo had been waiting at the back door for a long time. Seeing Tang Zisheng stepping in through the door, he relaxed with a bitter expression on his face, "Master, you are back."

"Why, there are a lot of people looking for me early in the morning?" Tang Zisheng teased Tang Mo when he saw the appearance of seeing the savior.

"It's not too much, but it's all very difficult. I said that the young master is resting, but they still have to stay outside the door until Lord Zhou sends someone to invite them to leave."

Although Tang Mo grew up in the Tang family, he has seen the world, but no matter how much he deals with the government, he is not the servant of a servant.

Therefore, the young master entrusted him with such an important matter, not to make him feel like he was in a hurry. If something goes wrong, he really can't explain it.

"Well, I took this basket of wild mushrooms and fried them as a side dish at noon." Tang Zisheng knew that life was not going well, but this Zhou Xiancheng, "I'll go meet Zhou Xiancheng for a while."

……

Baihe Village.

When Xu Qingcheng came back from the county, his expression was not the same. From time to time, he took out the money bag in his hand and shook it.

"Qingcheng." Xu Yingle is taking care of the side dishes in the yard. He is not in good health and can't do heavy work. Now his brother asks him to do these jobs in the yard.

"Daddy, what's the matter?" Xu Qingcheng put away the money bag and ran over immediately. He thought that Daddy was sick and dizzy again.

"When I came back from the county, I looked like I was out of my mind. I kept staring at the two-patched money bag. Which kid did I meet in the county? Did you see him right?" Xu Yingle, as someone who came here, didn't know My brother is so careful.

"Nothing." Xu Qingcheng denied it flatly, "It's just that I met a good man in the county, and he bought my wild mushrooms together with the basket."

Mr. Tang originally planned to give him a penny.But picking wild mushrooms is a labor-intensive task. Where can they be sold at such an expensive price, it is still forced to be [-] yuan in the end.

"How much did you sell?" A basket of mushrooms is not worth much, as long as it can be sold for ten yuan in the market, it is good.

"Twenty Wen."

Xu Yingle looked unbelievable, those wild mushrooms are worth twenty yuan?Who is taking advantage of such a waste of money.

"What does that man look like? How old is he?"

When Xu Qingcheng heard his father's question, he felt like a mirror in his heart, "Don't worry, father, the person who dares to make up my mind has not yet been born. This person is the son I brought down from the mountain the day before yesterday. It is just right for me to sell fungi today." I gave Mr. Tang the jade pendant that Aunt Mo left at Aunt Mo's place, and they probably felt sorry for it, so they bought the fungus I picked together with the basket."

Xu Yingle frowned, he didn't see what the Young Master Tang that Qingcheng brought back to the village looked like.But according to his brother's good-looking temperament, it's probably not bad.

"Don't worry, Daddy, I won't be so dazed." Xu Qingcheng was a little helpless, he really liked good-looking people.

But who is to blame for this, he can't blame his father for making him so good-looking that he felt a little guilty when he saw that others were not as good as him.

Just like the previous marriage, although that life was not bad, it was still a lot worse than the others. Originally, he planned to just let it go and let it go, but he never thought that the other party would call off his marriage first.

Xu Yingle knew that her brother knew how to measure, so she didn't bother, "The weeds in the field have been pulled, I'll cook."

"Eh."

-

When Tang Zisheng came to Zhou Nanchuan's office, the county magistrate of Zhou was writing documents just like yesterday, and the county magistrate was not in office, and the county magistrate had to temporarily act for everything in the county government.

"Prime Minister Zhou, are you free for a chat?" Tang Zisheng knocked on the door.

Zhou Nanchuan was a little surprised, "I thought Tangzhi County would choose to work with them after visiting Xan'er County."

"As far as I know, Zhou Xiancheng, if you don't collude with them, the most important thing you should think about is that I, the county magistrate, stand by your side, so that your life in the county government will be easier?"

Tang Zisheng was actually a little puzzled, he doesn't look like a corrupt official.

"Whether Tang Zhixian is or not has already come to a conclusion, why bother to discuss hypotheses." Zhou Nanchuan came over from the table and poured a cup of tea, made a gesture of invitation, and signaled Tang Zisheng to sit down and chat.

"Although Cang'er County is sparsely populated, there are still a few squires. Relying on the relationship of the previous county magistrate, they act somewhat domineeringly in Cang'er County.

After the previous county magistrate was transferred away, they planned to get new blessings from me, but unfortunately my family did not lack money.So they are now pinning their hopes on you, the new county magistrate. "

A few words from Zhou Nanchuan sorted out the current situation in Cang'er County to Tang Zisheng, but there were some differences between what Zhou Xiancheng said and what the owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop said.

"I heard that there are many country gentry in the county government?" What Tang Zisheng was worried about was that the people in the county government emptied him of the power of the county magistrate, so that he was just a county magistrate in name, nothing No effect.

"That's right." Zhou Nanchuan pointed to a booklet on the table, "It records the list of people who are currently involved in the county government with the squire. As for how to deal with it, it's up to you, magistrate. "

Tang Zisheng twitched his lips, why did he feel that Zhou Nanchuan was waiting for him here, "Then thank Zhou Xiancheng first."

……

After Tang Mo finished his lunch, he saw the young master walking in with a booklet with a strange expression on his face.But as a servant who was used to serving the young master, he naturally didn't ask much.

"Tang Mo, go outside and hire some people this afternoon." Tang Zisheng put away the booklet, looked at the appalling food in front of him, and felt that it was most important to hire a cook to solve their food and clothing problems.

Tang Mo also felt embarrassed, and scratched his face. There was nothing he could do about it. Originally, he followed the young master, and all he did was serving tea and pouring water. It was the first time he entered the kitchen to cook, and it was a pity. The wild mushroom brought back by the young master.

"Okay, how many people does the young master want to recruit?" Tang Mo still has some experience in recruiting people. He also helped the housekeeper when he added new people to the Tang family before, so he secretly learned some skills of distinguishing people from the housekeeper. .

"Look at the trick." Tang Zisheng really didn't understand who was needed in these houses, but luckily he was rich.

Although there was not much left of the family property after buying the official, he will be able to pay his salary immediately after taking office. He asked Zhou Nanchuan just now. .

The food is converted into silver, which is almost 60 taels a year, and it is paid twice. Now I take office just in time for the salary payment in July.

60 taels, as a local official, he doesn't give gifts and doesn't leave his relatives, even if he recruits seven or eight people back, he can afford to support them.

"Yes, young master." Tang Mo had already started to think in his heart, there should not be many people serving in the county government office, there should be only one woman who cooks, and one porter who looks after the door.

The back mansion of the county government office is not too big, but two people are required to clean it every day, plus it takes five or six people to take care of the young master on weekdays.

Tang Zisheng managed to finish his lunch, and went back to his room to look through the brochure Zhou Nanchuan gave him. He only remembered who was in the county government yesterday, and now he can still remember the names on the brochure.

Even because several of them visited him yesterday, they could still face each other.

The squire was the first thing he had to solve after he took office, but more importantly, he came to Cang'er County to rely on when the world was in chaos.

The world must be divided for a long time, and the prosperous age has passed two years earlier. Although he is not a visionary talent, he has studied history and knows that prosperity must decline. If the court continues to ignore it, allowing officials to corrupt and oppress the people After that, wars will inevitably break out in the world.

He doesn't care who wins or loses, but once there is a war, even if Cang'er County is remote, there will be no peace.What's more, Cang'er County is located at the junction of Xizhou and Beizhou.

In the northwest direction, foreign countries have always been eyeing them. If there is civil strife, the foreign countries will definitely take the opportunity to attack.

If you don't want to be a stepping stone for others in troubled times, you have to figure out how to live in peace.

No matter how many ways to live in one side, it is just a word of strength.The so-called strength is nothing more than having someone in your hand, who can fight back when others come in.

The geographical location of this place is good, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. If he wants to cultivate an army that can protect himself before the chaos, he will be able to deal with the various situations that will follow.

But who knows that Cang'er County is not only poor, but also has few people. To build an army, 5000 people are far from enough. Excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, there may not be many who are really capable of fighting. For this reason, he has to think about how to make Cang'er County more people.

And it is not difficult to get more people, as long as it can meet the food, clothing, housing and transportation of those who have nowhere to settle down in troubled times, it will be able to attract the people in the surrounding counties who are hungry.

But to realize such an idea, money and food are indispensable, but he has none now.

Tang Zisheng thought over and over again, but there is no good solution for the time being, but nothing can be accomplished overnight.

He has no idea about the food, but money, the squires who are about to deal with it may be able to solve some of the urgent needs.

No sleep for one night.

Tang Zisheng woke up with a yawn. Today is his first day in office, and all the manuscripts for his appointment have been submitted to the county government files.

Tang Mo went outside to recruit people yesterday, and the arrangement was settled last night. It was not Tang Mo who came to deliver the wash water this morning, but a brother selected from the dental shop.

After washing up and having breakfast, Tang Zisheng walked slowly into the room where the county magistrate of Qiantang works.Because today is the first day that Tang Zisheng, the county magistrate, took office.

Now all the working people in the county government are waiting outside the door according to their ranks. Tang Zisheng glanced over and more or less remembered these faces in his heart.

"My colleagues, today is the day I take office. In the future, we must work together and work together to manage Cang'er County well."

Tang Zisheng tried his best to recall the nonsense that the boss used to say every time he came to a newcomer, and after a little polishing, it was his declaration of taking office.

"Don't worry, Mr. Tang, we will do our best to help Mr. Tang, and we will never bend the law for personal gain." Zhou Nanchuan replied to Tang Zisheng's words first.
