Chapter 43 Pen Holder
For the rest of the journey, Su Ze talked about elementary school with the two radish heads when he had nothing to do. Although Lin Xianyang was literate, he always gained something new from listening to Su Ze's lecture on elementary school. Along the way, he kept jumping "+3", "+ 3", when Su Ze was about to arrive in Nanping County, his enlightenment skills had reached Lv4, 360/400.

Su Ze recalled his historical knowledge. Yanping Prefecture has seven counties under its jurisdiction, namely Nanping, Youxi, Shaxian, Shunchang, Jiangle, Yongan, and Datian.

Yes, it is that Shaxian County, but Shaxian snacks are not yet famous all over the world.

Nanping County is Yiguo County, and it is also the most prosperous county in Yanping Prefecture.

Nanping's military status is very important. There has always been a saying in Fujian that "Tong Yanping and Tie Shaowu" are the gateway to Fujian.

When Su Ze walked into the county town, he saw that the city wall was tall, but outside the city wall were some continuous residential buildings, which did not look like a military town at all.

Su Ze used the Lv2 "Art of War" skill to observe the city wall, and saw a lot of flaws, and the low places could even be climbed up through the roofs of residential buildings.

Su Ze shook his head, the Ming Dynasty was indeed relaxed.

If you give him a thousand elites, he will definitely be able to break through this Nanping County.

Just as Su Ze was thinking, the sound of a gong suddenly sounded on the official road entering the city.

At this time, I saw a group of guards holding guards of honor, beating the gong from a distance, and a middle-aged man riding a horse, wearing a crimson official robe, walked slowly along the official road to the city gate.

Although it was almost dusk, Su Ze still saw the Yunyan Buzi on the official robe of the middle-aged official. This is the official uniform of the fourth rank!
He cleared the way to the flag and wrote a letter "knowing the affairs of the Yanping government", and then wrote "avoid" and "quiet" to the card.

Then came a pair of Wanmin umbrellas, followed by a pair of fans, all following behind the middle-aged official on horseback.

And behind the guard of honor, there was a long convoy of carriages, a total of ten carriages stretched along the official road.

Lin Xianyang had never seen such a scene before, he asked in surprise: "Which high official is this coming to Nanping County?"

Su Ze pointed at the opposite flag from a distance and said, "Didn't you write it? The new prefect of Yanping has arrived."

Lin Xianyang quickly rubbed his eyes, wanting to see the face of the new magistrate clearly, the guard of honor quickly walked over the official road.

Lin Xianyang said regretfully: "Brother Aze, you didn't say it earlier!"

Then Lin Xianyang said with a sad face: "Looking at this posture, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the city today."

Just when the magistrate's guard of honor was about to arrive at the city gate of Nanping, a group of officials in official robes hurried out of the city, divided into civil and military teams to greet them on both sides.

Lin Xianyang had never seen these officials in such a state of distress, and couldn't help laughing.

Su Ze looked at the welcoming team gradually forming under the city gate, and murmured, "It seems that a ruthless character has come to Yanping Mansion."

Lin Liangjun, the little carrot head, asked quickly, "Brother Aze, why do you say that?"

Lin Xianyang also looked at Su Ze. Could it be that Su Ze knew the new magistrate?

Su Ze saw Lin Xianyang's doubts, and said with a smile: "It's also the first time I've seen this lord, but now it seems that this new magistrate is not easy to fool."

Seeing the three people still full of doubts, Su Ze explained: "General officials will choose to arrive in the morning when they take office, because they have to sacrifice to the city god before moving into the official residence. Not many people arrive in the evening like this new magistrate, so the new magistrate and his family members will It's really inconvenient to live outside the government office for one night."

Lin Liangjun asked hastily: "Isn't the master of the new magistrate in a hurry? That's why he arrived in the evening?"

Su Ze shook his head and said, "When the new magistrate arrives, the prefect and county officials must be watching. If he knew in advance that the new magistrate would arrive in the evening, he would have been greeted outside the city long ago. It is impossible to be so embarrassed."

"Of course the magistrate promised to arrive tomorrow morning, but he asked his subordinates to hide their whereabouts and arrived this evening."

That's it!
Lin Xianyang looked at Su Ze with admiration. He didn't expect Su Ze to deduce so much inside information from this little detail. This scholar is different!
Lin Xianyang asked: "Then why did the magistrate come early?"

Su Ze said: "Naturally, it is necessary to give Yanping Prefecture a powerful blow, and if we arrive early today, we can immediately take over the government office and seal the account book. If the magistrate has enough accounting room, he can find out from the account book If you have some handles, it will be easy to handle after you take office."

Su Ze's content is beyond the scope of the two radish heads, and they can't understand the twists and turns.

Although Lin Xianyang was considered clever in Changningwei, otherwise his grandfather would not have let him work in the county government office, but he is not at the same level as Su Ze.

Lin Liangjun covered his head and said, "This scholar thinks too much!"

Lin Xianyang couldn't help asking: "Are there any ancestors of Aze brothers who were officials?"

Su Ze shook his head and said, "No one is an official."

"Then how did you know the key to it?"

Su Ze smiled and said, "Read."

"Reading?" Lin Liangjun couldn't help but said, "Can you learn more from reading?"

Su Ze nodded and said: "Of course, there is a book called "Rituals for New Officials", which talks about the precautions for new officials when they take office. Taking office early is the trick written in the book."

"Let you study hard, whether it is the imperial examination or the art of war, farming or carpentry, there are books to read."

By the way, he educated the two radish heads. Su Ze only saw that the new magistrate had dismounted with the help of his entourage, and greeted him enthusiastically with the officials who greeted him at the gate of the city.

The magistrate had a happy face, and the leading civil servant on the opposite side was the judge of Yanping Prefecture, and the magistrate of Nanping County was after the judgement.

But just as the judge and county magistrate were about to attend the ceremony, another row of generals, the commander of Yanpingwei, knelt down first.

However, this military general of the third rank was not as quick as the prefect of the fourth rank, and the new magistrate supported the commander of the Yanping Guard.

"For the commander, you can't do it. There are rules in the "Daming Huidian". My official rank is not as good as the commander. I should salute the commander."

The new magistrate really stood on the right and paid two weeks to the commander.

The new magistrate crossed his hands, stretched out his front body, then bowed heavily to worship the ground, and performed two smart prostrations.

The commander stood in place, but didn't know how to return the salute.

It was not until the assistant officer behind him reminded him that Commander Yu replied awkwardly.

The new magistrate faced the civil servants, and all the civil servants whose positions were not as good as his knelt down in unison, bowing to the new magistrate one after another.

However, in the crowd, a thin middle-aged official did not kneel down, and the faces of the adjutants on both sides of him were frightened. The new magistrate wanted to show his authority, why did his boss go crazy and want to die!

The new magistrate frowned, helped up the judge in the front row and asked:

"Liu Tongpan, what level of government official is this?"

This Liu Tong said tremblingly:
"Report to your lord, this is the new teaching order of Nanping County."

Hearing that it was the teaching instruction of the county school, he was an unqualified official. Although the official position of the academic officer was low, the Ming Dynasty respected the academic officer very much.

The new magistrate also lost interest in using him to kill him, instead he joked:
"Liu Tongpan, do you think that kneeling at this station looks like a mountain-shaped pen stand? Hahaha!"

Liu Tongpan had just knelt down and couldn't agree with the joke, but he heard the Nanping Instructor say righteously:

"There is a saying in the Great Ming Huidian that all subordinate officials will kneel when they see their superiors."

"There's nothing to do today, why do you kneel?"
