Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 38

"Hehe, don't worry, Your Highness. Although the official is just a small county magistrate, he is thick-faced and dark-hearted, but the official is also forced by the situation in Wanping County.

As long as I wait for the officials to straighten out the situation in Wanping County, it will definitely bring His Highness unexpected surprises!

At that time, I hope His Highness will reward the lower officials with more money or food for their merits in governing Wanping County! "

"Damn it, can you, a thief official, raise money? This king despises officials who are greedy for money the most!"

"His Royal Highness forgives the sin, but I really don't know, what else can I mention if I don't mention money?"

"You are just a small county magistrate now, so you don't want to be a magistrate, or a Beiping political envoy, or even a Beijing official?"

"No, no, I don't have much ambition. To become a magistrate of a county, which affects the livelihood of tens of thousands of people, is already the greatest ability of an official. If I get promoted again, I will definitely die!

Therefore, Xiaguan once again begged His Highness to keep Xiaguan in Beiping and let him be the magistrate of a county! "

As he spoke, Guo An directly picked up the wine glass on the side and drank it in one gulp, then turned the wine glass over to show that he drank it clean.

Zhu Di was furious, "You thief officer, don't you want to be my Ming official?"

Guo An quickly explained with an apologetic smile, "Your Highness misunderstood the lower officials. In their bones, the lower officials are ordinary people who are greedy for pleasure and eat and drink. Therefore, they are lazy by nature, and they can still live as a magistrate.

If he climbed up again, he would be tolerated by officials all over the world just because of his detached temperament like a subordinate official! "

"From left to right, you are a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"Your Highness is wise, the greatest skill of a subordinate is self-knowledge. Apart from crooked talents, there are only those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and those who are greedy for pleasure!"

"Damn it..."

With an anxious expression on his face, Zhu Di picked up his wine glass and drank it vigorously.

"Hmph, can't you just learn from your ancestor Guo Taishi?"

"His Royal Highness actually knows the old ancestor in the lower official's house?"

"Hmph, if it wasn't for Guo Taishi, how could I let you be the magistrate of Wanping County?"

"What? The magistrate of Wanping County, which is supposed to be a lower official, was arranged by His Royal Highness? In this case, the lower official must offer His Highness a cup... no, three cups!"

"You have a conscience, thief officer!"

"Dry!"

"Since the work of the magistrate of Wanping County, the lower official, is arranged by His Highness, then I wonder if His Highness can match the lower official with the county magistrate and the master Bo?"

"You can go to the chief envoy of Beiping for this matter!"

"Your Highness, don't prevaricate the subordinate officials. The subordinate officials have figured it out. For such a long time, the Beiping chief envoy did not match the subordinate officials with the county magistrate and Zhu Bo. It may be that the Beiping chief envoy did not know His Highness is so thoughtful that he dare not match a subordinate official!

Therefore, in this matter, the lower officials can only trouble His Highness! "

"Then tell me, who do you want to be your second official?"

"Hey, I dare to ask Your Highness to assign a secondary officer with a strong enough background, even if the ability is not so strong, but I still need a strong background!"

"Why?"

"The lower officials are afraid that Wanping County's achievements are too outstanding, and they will be jealous of all the prefectures and counties in Beiping Prefecture, and they will be deliberately targeted! Therefore, the lower officials need a person who can live in the place but has a good heart to come to Wanping County. Take office!"

"Hmph, you thief officer, you know that this king is just a prince, and only in wartime can he control the military affairs of the Beiping Mansion, and he must not interfere in the government affairs of the Beiping Mansion, especially the appointment of officials...

Damn it, where can I find a civil servant to be your second official? "

"As the second official, why not help Your Highness to find a classic history for the lower official? Then urge the Beiping chief envoy to match the second official with the second official?"

"You thief officer is so timid?"

"Your Highness, I don't know. Every time I go out, I can always feel that there are always people staring at me in the dark! However, every time I look back, I can't find anything!"

"Do you know where the team is?"

"The lower officials don't know!"

"Hmph, don't worry, there are many classics in this king's palace! This king will send you a classics tomorrow!"

Guo An looked grateful, and raised his glass again, "Your Highness, if you can really send a dianshi to help the lower official to calm down the situation, the lower official will definitely be able to earn more money and manage Wanping County like a paradise on earth. The presence!"

"Heaven on earth?"

Zhu Di sneered, his face full of disdain.

"You thief officer, you can talk drunk!"

"Your Highness, don't underestimate how high a person who is greedy for pleasure will demand of his own living conditions!"

"So, if you can really manage Wanping County into a paradise-like existence on earth, this king will definitely reward you ten thousand taels of silver!"

"Your Highness, you still have to leave the subordinate officials in the county magistrate's position, even if it's the county magistrate and the lord Bo!"

"You thief officer... But, this king agrees!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, and I will toast you three more cups!"

"Dry……"

This time, Guo An didn't know how long he had been drinking. Anyway, when he woke up, it was already the morning of the second day.

Under the service of the maid, he hurriedly washed up and ran to the county government office.

Along the way, full of joy!
He believed that after the night of drinking and making such a big cake for Zhu Di, he was at least safe now!

Another morning of reviewing food accounts.

By the afternoon.

When Guo An felt that he could enjoy some leisure time, suddenly a yamen servant came in to report that a strong man came outside, claiming to be the new Dian Shi!

"Please hurry up!"

Guo An was overjoyed, he didn't expect that Zhu Laosi would be so agile this time.

In less than a moment, a strong man with a big arm and a round waist walked in from the door with a fierce face.

"Xiaguan Wang has really seen the county magistrate!"

Seeing Guo An, Wang Zhen bowed his hands respectfully.

"Don't be polite, Wang Dianshi. The safety of tens of thousands of people in Wanping County will depend entirely on Wang Dianshi!"

Guo An had a gentle face, and was very satisfied with Wang Zhen's classic history.

"The county honorable is being polite!"

Wang Zhen still nodded calmly.

"They are all from my own family, Wang Dianshi is welcome."

Guo An smiled lightly, and said again: "Wang Dianshi has just arrived, and I called someone to take Wang Dianshi to get acquainted with the situation of the county government and get to know all the colleagues who know the county government. Today, Wang Dianshi can deal with personal matters first. There are still important matters tomorrow, please trouble Wang Dianshi!"

"Subordinate to obey!"

Wang Zhen replied solemnly.

"Come on!"

Guo An shouted towards the outside.

"I don't know what orders the county lord has?" A yamen servant quickly ran in.

Guo An pointed to Wang Zhen and said, "This is my new Wang Dianshi in Wanping County. Go quickly and call the three team leaders and a group of patrol inspectors to meet Wang Dianshi!"

"Yes, magistrate!"

As the yamen servants went down, the whole county yamen suddenly became lively again.

The 'Fourth Lord' in the county office took office, and everyone spontaneously came up to pay their respects!
Especially the team leaders, inspectors, and folks in the third class!
