Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 74 Zhu Silang, allocated to this official as a staff master

on the embankment.

Zhou Lang walked back with Zhu Di, and said as he walked, "Mr. Zhu, I'm really sorry, I don't know which muscle of the county magistrate Jiang is wrong, and I suddenly want to see Mr."

"It's okay." Zhu Di smiled and shook his head, and asked, "What's the full name of County Magistrate Jiang?"

He still doesn't know what the magistrate Jiang is called.

"Jiang Jinzhong."

"It's a good name." Zhu Di couldn't help but twitch his lips when he thought of Jiang County Magistrate's fat and short body like a meatball, with a red wine nose and such a name.

Of course, he just felt that Jiang Jinzhong's image was a little funny.

Does not judge people by their cover.

So he asked again: "Tell me about the character of this county magistrate Jiang?"

This stumped Zhou Lang, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Zhu, I used to be an ordinary yamen servant, and I didn't have many opportunities to contact Jiang County Magistrate."

"I just know that this county official is a special official fan."

"After coming to Jiangning County, I often do some ridiculous things in order to express myself to the court and officials."

"Two years ago, didn't there be auspicious signs everywhere?"

Zhu Di nodded.

In my memory, there is such a special period.

In fact, the so-called auspiciousness, to put it bluntly, is to flatter the old man.

"Our county magistrate Jiang has just been appointed to Jiangning County, and we also want to create auspiciousness. What are we doing?"

"Our county venerable has been thinking about it, but he doesn't know where to get a very big tortoise, about the size of two millstones."

Zhou Lang suppressed a smile, and gestured with both hands about the size of the turtle.

"Then they sent someone to tie a rope and throw it into the Qinhuai River at night."

"In order to make Xiangrui a sensation in the present world, County Magistrate Jiang held a poetry and book event on the Qinhuai River, and invited many scholars, including Tongsheng, Xiucai, and Juren."

"Guess Mr. Zhu, what happened?"

Zhu Di shook his head.

Zhou Lang's face turned red, and he tried his best to hold back a smile and said, "When the atmosphere of the poetry meeting was lively that day, the county magistrate Jiang ordered people to be on the shore, and quietly pulled the rope to pull the turtle out of the water..."

puff!
Zhou Lang couldn't help laughing, he was out of breath and said, "But... but the tortoise was pulled out... and found dead! It was gnawed by the fish in the river and changed beyond recognition!"

"At that time, County Magistrate Jiang's face was dark...haha..."

Zhu Di couldn't help laughing, and doubted that it was a sea turtle!
It is very difficult for a freshwater turtle to grow so big.

Moreover, if it is a freshwater turtle, with such a huge size, the Qinhuai River has no natural enemies at all.

Impossible to be eaten by fish.

"The funniest thing is that this matter was heard by the officials of the Jinling Mansion."

"It is said that the Shangguan of the Jinling Mansion sent someone down to reprimand the county magistrate Jiang, and gave the emperor an auspicious omen, what do you want!"

"Okay, stop talking, stop talking." Zhu Di's lips twitched fiercely, interrupting Zhou Lang's words.

Fortunately, this matter was suppressed by the Jinling Mansion.

The truth reached the old man's ears.

The fat county magistrate moved his head two years ago.

At the same time, a large number of people have to be implicated in the Jinling officialdom.

This kind of absurd and bizarre farce has been very common in official circles throughout the ages.

Bystanders, watching the people in the farce, seem to be watching fools.

I am even puzzled, this kind of people who can be officials are supposed to be elites, how could they do such absurd and stupid things?
it's actually really easy.

These people are eager for political achievements, eager for political achievements, eager to express themselves, and please the higher-ups.

At the same time, it is divorced from reality, and has only a half-knowledge of what it is doing, or even no understanding at all.

In this case, no joke!
The county magistrate Jiang is the best example.

Two years ago, Jiang Jinzhong, who had just been appointed to Jiangning County, must have only read magnificent articles like Gui Shishou from books.

It is believed that the tortoise symbolizes longevity and represents a long and long time.

Surely I don't know, the tortoise is also known as the bastard among the people!

Anyone who knows this level of ambiguity.

Jiang Jinzhong definitely wouldn't engage in absurd farces such as presenting turtles to an old man with mud legs!
This fat county magistrate must have a good family background, well-clothed and well-fed, and basically has no contact with the people.

Before becoming an official, he was a nerd who only read the books of sages and sages, didn't know the grains, and didn't work hard!

……

Wait until they get close to the shed.

See, the shack in Tuqiao Village, the mats around it have been rolled up.

A fat man, all soaked in clothes, sat like a mountain of meat on a bamboo board laid by Datong.

Several yamen servants kept fanning the fat man beside him.

"My lord, Mr. Zhu is here." Zhou Lang stood at the door and reported.

County magistrate Jiang wiped his sweat and waved, "Let Zhu Silang come in."

Zhu Di walked in.

"You all go down."

After dismissing everyone, Jiang Jinzhong stood up abruptly.

While the bamboo boards were creaking, he knelt on the Datong bunk, bowed his head and bowed: "Greetings to His Royal Highness King Yan!"

The strange look in his eyes flashed away, and Zhu Di regained his composure, and immediately dodged aside.

Looking at it with a half smile...

Jiang Jinzhong was skeptical.

But not sure.

Therefore, kneeling is also very particular. Kneeling, but not going to the ground, is on the Datong bunk.

This is probing.

After a while, Jiang Jinzhong didn't wait for a response, so he raised his head quietly, and saw Zhu Di standing far away, watching with a half-smile.

"Magistrate Jiang regards me as the demoted King of Yan, Zhu Di?" Zhu Di said with a natural smile, "Although the King of Yan is already a commoner at this moment, after all, the blood of the royal family is flowing, and it is not something that ordinary people can climb up to."

"The county magistrate should not harm others or himself."

Jiang Jinzhong looked at Zhu Di carefully.

There is a smile on the corner of his lips, and his eyes reveal the wisdom of a scholar, calm and composed.

It really looks like, Zhou Lang said, the wise man who hides in the countryside.

Nothing royal.

If Zhu Di knew what Jiang Jinzhong was thinking, he would laugh and scold him: What a waste of money!No matter how expensive a person is, he has been a farmer for half a year, and he has been exposed to the wind and sun for more than ten days on the river embankment, and his noble spirit has worn away long ago.

The so-called extravagance is easy to dissipate.

Only knowledge, engraved in the mind, endows people with a deep sense of self-cultivation, which is difficult to be erased.

After living as a farmer for half a year, now, all the original traces on Zhu Di's body are left.

Therefore, it feels more like a wise man hiding in the countryside.

'guessed wrong! '

County magistrate Jiang was full of regret, and glared at Zhu Di angrily. He struggled to sit up, wiped his sweat desperately, and yelled, "Come on! Fan!"

Outside, the yamen servants standing in the distance, with their backs to the shack, heard the shouts and ran in one after another.

Fan the wind, pour tea pour tea.

Jiang Jinzhong pointed at Zhu Di, playing with the taste: "I heard that you are very good at grilling fish, so I will try grilling one for you."

Since it is not Yan Wang Zhu Di, there is no way to make friends in advance.

Then try this man's craft.

Zhou Lang's expression changed, I don't know how Jiang Jinzhong knew about this?
Zhu Di smiled and nodded, "Magistrate Jiang, wait a moment."

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the shed, picked up the fishing basket, and chose a big fish

A busy day, about three sticks of incense time.

A delicious grilled fish served in a green lotus leaf was placed in front of County Magistrate Jiang.

Zhu Di smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "Magistrate Jiang, please try it."

Jiang Jinzhong glanced at Zhu Di, picked up the chopsticks, and tasted them, "Well, not bad! No wonder it can be sold for a tael of silver!"

"Come here, put my chess pieces on the table."

Soon, there will be chess next to it.

County magistrate Jiang pointed to chess while eating fish, "Mr. Zhu is a scholar, so he should know how to play?"

"A little dabbling."

"Come, come, come with me for the next game!"

Zhu Di smiled and sat down opposite.

County magistrate Jiang ate the belly of the fish, and said vaguely, "You go first."

"The grassroots are not welcome." Zhu Di smiled, raised his hand and pushed the pawn: "Gong pawn!"

"Zhu Silang, you are not good at chess, how can you attack your pawns, and I will be the head of the game!"

"Grassmen continue to bow down!"

……

"Pick the car!"

Zhu Di's attack was very fast, and the county magistrate Jiang gradually stopped talking and his face became serious.

……

"General!"

……

"Magistrate Jiang, your Che Caomin accepted it with a smile."

……

"General!"

Zhou Lang looked at Zhu Di, chatting and laughing, killing the county magistrate Jiang retreating steadily, and couldn't help but wink at Zhu Di anxiously.

Jiang Jinzhongyu didn't care to eat it either.

The yamen servant in Zaoban fanned his fan desperately, but there was even more sweat on his face.

After Jiang Jinzhong thought about it for a while, after moving the only rook left, Zhu Di glanced at the chess game, smiled, vaulted, and ate Jiang Jinzhong's last pawn.

Haha ...

Jiang Jinzhong laughed suddenly, "Shoot your elephant!"

"General at the same time!"

"My official car is at the side, the gun is at the front, Zhu Silang, your troops are crossing the river, and it's too late to come back for help!"

"No matter how hard you struggle, within two steps, your general will be captured by this officer!"

Zhu Di pretended to be examining the chess game, and after a while, he got up and bowed with a smile, "Master Jiang is superior."

"Haha, sit down..." Jiang Jinzhong happily pointed to the opposite side and asked Zhu Di to sit down.

He waved his hand and said, "You all go down."

Before Zhou Lang left, he looked at Zhu Di suspiciously: Mr. Zhu really lost?

No matter how he looked at it, he thought it was tricky.

After everyone left, Jiang Jinzhong looked at Zhu Di with a smile.

Zhu Di remained calm and took out a bag from his sleeve.

There are 50 taels of silver in the bag.

The other party mentioned grilled fish.

What's on my mind, I don't know.

In chess, first kill the opponent without leaving any pieces, and then let the opponent win quietly.

This is what he did on purpose.

Fatty Jiang won't be particularly happy if he just gives way to the opponent.

First kill Fatty Jiang, let him be extremely nervous, worried about losing, and then keep his face, show a flaw, and let him win the final victory.

With such a victory, more dopamine is secreted, and people are the happiest.

While Fatty Jiang was extremely happy, it was time to completely eliminate the hidden dangers of doing business.

"Magistrate Jiang, this is a wish from our Tuqiao Village." Zhu Di pushed the bag in front of Jiang Jinzhong, "The villagers also know that farmers violate the rules when doing business."

"But the folks are too poor, so while serving corvée, do some small business..."

Jiang Jinzhong smiled, stretched out his chubby hand, and pushed the small cloth bag back, "I don't want to pursue this matter, and I'm not short of money."

"I heard that Mr. Zhu opened a free school."

"My official is very supportive, and I will study for merit."

"Let's save the money to run the school."

A look of surprise flashed across Zhu Di's eyes.

I have a new understanding of this fat county magistrate.

"I want to invite Mr. Zhu to be my staff master! Although I don't have a court official status, I can give Mr. Zhu enough money!" Jiang Jinzhong finally stated the purpose of this trip.

He is too short of someone who can advise him.

He passed the examination, and he came to Jiangning to be an official for two years, and his performance assessment was not very good every year.

Inspecting the shacks, the shacks in Tuqiao Village gave him "creative ideas" and pretended to pull out weeds, but he was rewarded by the emperor with both derogation and praise.

Zhu Silang is simply his 'blessed general'.

This is one of them.

Second.

After the corvee is over, summarizing and reporting the experience of division of labor and cooperation will definitely be another meritorious achievement!
Third.

Zhu Silang's performance today, and his observation of Zhu Silang.

His ability, character, and way of dealing with affairs are allotted to him as a master of staff.
