Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 36 Invite Zhu Di to Dinner

"Elders, you can submit the accounts in your hands to His Royal Highness Yan King for review! As long as His Royal Highness Yan King passes the review, you can also go to the household room to get various Jiali IOUs!"

Guo An gave instructions to the various district chiefs who were waiting at the side, and then sat behind the newly moved desk.

"Of course, I can also review here!"

"Yes, magistrate!"

Although all the district chiefs agreed very readily, but many people went to Zhu Di's side!

In this regard, Guo An is happy to see the success.

Anyway, Zhu Di could have more to do with the matter of borrowing grain, and for him, the county magistrate of Wanping, he would have an extra security guarantee.

Otherwise, according to the suspicious and bloodthirsty character of that old Zhu in Yingtian City, coupled with the ubiquitous Jin Yiwei, he can't guarantee that there will be some accidents in the future that will involve him in the matter of borrowing food!
However, Guo An has not been relaxed for long.

The old people who had gathered in front of Zhu Di with curious faces were all quietly moving towards him.

Guo An was well aware of why this was the case, but he was in good agreement with all the village chiefs and did not bother.

In this way, Zhu Di only inspected a dozen or so old men until he came down to the late office, but his face was dull, as if he didn't know how much he had suffered.

Guo An approached Zhu Di in a very sophisticated way, and bowed his hands to Zhu Di with a grateful face.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for helping me review the matter today, otherwise I don't know how long I'll be busy at night!"

Hearing this, Zhu Di's expression brightened, "It's just a trivial matter. I think when my father sent me to Fengyang to do farm work, I was much more exhausted than you!"

"Yes, Your Highness has worked hard!"

Guo An hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted with sincerity.

Zhu Di was very satisfied with Guo An's attitude, and then asked curiously, "Are you so busy with official duties every day?"

Guo An replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, it is not like this every day, it is like this for half a month within a month!"

"However, as long as the chief envoy can send the county magistrate and the master, as well as the history, the subordinate will be much more relaxed! Only in this way can we free up our hands and bring tens of thousands of people in Wanping County to earn a lot of money. More money, better life!"

"make money?"

Hearing this word, Zhu Di couldn't help but frown slightly.

"You thief officer, as a majestic Wanping County parent officer, why are you still such a philistine, always thinking of making money? Since you love money so much, why didn't you become a merchant?"

Guo An murmured helplessly in a low voice: "I don't know why I came to Wanping County to become the boss!"

"Ok?"

Zhu Di looked at Guo An with some doubts.

Guo An quickly said: "Xiaguan means that Xiaguan came to be an official with a sincere heart, thinking that thousands of people in the world can live and work in peace and contentment!
But I didn't expect that after I became an official, I discovered that whether it is a commoner or an official, if you want to live a good life, you must have surplus money at home, and the grain tank will never be short of food.

Otherwise, no matter whether it is the common people or the officials and dignitaries, they will not be able to settle down! "

"Hmph, people are not enough, even if those corrupt officials' homes are full of money and food, they are still not satisfied. Only by beheading their whole family and killing the chief culprit, can these people's greed be curbed!"

Zhu Di said sharply.

"What Your Highness said is very true, those corrupt officials who are never satisfied will have to kill their entire families!" Guo An said quickly.

"Ok?"

Zhu Di understood Guo An's meaning, "Is it justifiable for you to think that some officials are corrupt?"

Guo An looked up at the sky, and said helplessly, "Your Highness, I'm already very tired after working all day. Now, I'm all in the evening. It's my personal time. Can we stop talking about work?"

"A matter of work?"

Zhu Di looked at Guo An with a strange face, and he found that he couldn't understand the magistrate of Wanping County more and more!

"Your Highness, the job is to do business, to deal with the affairs of the county government and the court!"

Guo An was more than happy to explain these insensitive topics to Zhu Di, "The lower officials are used to calling the affairs of the imperial court and the county government as work.

The imperial court gave the lower officials a salary and asked them to work in the yamen every day, and the lower officials would do their best to deal with government affairs. This is the responsibility of the lower officials.

And when it comes to Youshi, after Xiaguan returns home from office, it is time for personal time. Xiaguan just wants to rest and enjoy life! "

Zhu Di looked at Guo An with a half-smile, "So, are you going to be lazy?"

"Your Highness, the imperial court has issued the salary of the lower officials to open the yamen. After the yamen is disbanded, why do the lower officials have to work so hard to handle official duties?"

Guo An quickly explained with an aggrieved face, "Besides, during the Shangya period, the lower officials worked so efficiently and handled so much government affairs.

Xiaguan is just a thin and thin scholar. In a day, he has to combine work and rest, so he must rest when he should rest!

Otherwise, if the government affairs entrusted by the court have not been dealt with, and you are tired first, then you will be ashamed of the court, your majesty and your highness! "

Zhu Di said: "Your mother, it seems that this king is an evil landlord who specifically exploits you!"

"A mere landlord is no match for Your Highness!"

Guo An replied with a smile.

Immediately, without waiting for Zhu Di to reply, Guo An continued: "Forgive me, Your Highness, it's getting late, and I've worked hard all day, I need to go back and have a good rest, and then have a delicious meal.

Therefore, the next official must first resign! "

"Food?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but think of the ordinary but extremely delicious bowl of rice at noon, and subconsciously licked his lips.

"Speaking of which, I still have some words to ask you. I didn't expect you to go back to eat so early!"

"Why don't the officials wait for His Highness at the county government office tomorrow?"

Guo An asked tentatively.

Zhu Di frowned slightly, and Guo An understood it in his heart.

"Speaking of which, His Highness has helped the lower official handle government affairs all day in the county government, and the lower official has not yet thanked His Highness properly.

If not, today, I will prepare a little wine and food at the mansion, so that I can have a good feast for His Highness? "

"Gourmet Beaux-Art?"

Zhu Di's expression wrinkled again, "You thief officer, I am the majestic king of Yan, I haven't tasted such delicacies of fine nectar and jade dew. Is it someone who is greedy for your bojiu delicacies?"

"Yes Yes!"

Hearing this, Guo An's expression changed, "The wine at Xiaguan's mansion is indeed inferior, but the food cooked by the chef at Xiaguan's mansion is the secret recipe developed by Xiaguan, so it has a special taste.

Or, please ask His Highness to send someone to bring some fine wine from the palace, and Xiaguan invites His Highness to go to the humble house and taste Xiaguan's original food? "

"You magistrate, you still study food?"

A trace of curiosity flashed in Zhu Di's eyes.

"Exactly. Your Highness may not know that the lower officials want to eat!" Guo An nodded slightly.

Zhu Di turned his head and shouted, "Li Wang!"

"The end is here!"

Li Wang quickly ran over.

"Quickly go back to the palace, and bring some altars of fine wine to Guo An's mansion for this king!"

"The end will obey orders!"
