spend time

Daliang has 300 counties in 40 prefectures and 1,003 counties. Moxian Cheng, who holds a seventh-grade official position, can be considered a lowly person from an officialdom perspective.

However, there were only four serious court officials in the Lixian county government, and Moxian Cheng was the one who served under the former magistrate Cai. According to the official practice of Daliang, when Magistrate Cai was removed from office, either the court would send another official to take over, or Mo County Magistrate would be promoted.

Master Cai, a poor scholar who looked like a black mouse, came to power. How could Mo Xian Cheng be convinced! It is rare to have to explain something in front of the princess.

Jiang Shaohua's expression did not change, and he still smiled: "I am young and act willfully based on my own likes and dislikes. As a mere county magistrate, I can support whoever I want to support, and I don't have any worries."

Mo Xian Cheng: "..."

Mo Xian Cheng's face was almost swollen.

It's a pity that Moxian Cheng is not well informed. If he knew that even the official Qipin Dianshan of the palace was kicked out at the last word, he would definitely be wary of the princess's "willfulness" and would not dare to say anything more.

Jiang Shaohua looked at the other two people again: "Do you still have any doubts?"

The two of them saw the power of the princess and dared not to say anything. They all responded: "No."

Then he stood up and handed over his hands, meeting the newly appointed Magistrate Cai.

Moxian Cheng also stood up and bowed aggrievedly.

Cai Ye was busy running around in the county government office on weekdays, like a tireless old scalper who was accustomed to working with his head down. He had never received such courtesy and promotion. His face turned red for a moment, and his eyes were actually a little red.

Jiang Shaohua didn't say anything, just looked at him with a smile.

Cai Ye's heart surged with heat, and he suddenly felt confident.

The princess is backing him! Nothing to be afraid of! He wants to be the magistrate of Li County and let everyone know that he has lived up to the trust and respect of the princess! He will devote himself to the princess until he dies!

"Please get up, all three of you," Cai Ye stretched out his hand to help the three of them up one by one, and said with a sincere expression: "Thanks to the favor and love of the princess, I have become the acting county magistrate. From today on, I will definitely do my best to do my job. Please also Please help me, three adults. Let’s manage Li County together and serve the princess!”

No matter how much the three of them cursed in their hearts, they finally agreed without showing it on their faces.

Jiang Shaohua said: "All the government officials contributed to the suppression of the bandits, especially the Tang government officials, who fought back hard and were very manly. They deserve a heavy reward."

"From now on, the third class of yamen officers in this county will let yamen officer Tang be the general leader and be at your disposal."

Cai Ye responded: "Yes."

Moxian Cheng and the other three people once again cursed in their hearts.

The princess really recruits talents in an eclectic way. The three yamen officers are all old-fashioned, and let a young and ignorant young man be the general manager... Of course, I just don't dare to say anything.

More than that.

Jiang Shaohua thought for a while and then said: "There are more than thirty wounded soldiers in this bandit suppression, and it is not suitable to move them for the time being. Let them temporarily live in the backyard of the county government to recuperate, and I will leave a military doctor to take care of them. When they can move, Magistrate Cai found some errands for them. After half a year, Magistrate Cai’s official appointment document came down and asked them to return to the military camp.”

The new Magistrate Cai was refreshed and almost burst into tears with gratitude: "Thank you, Princess."

The princess was afraid that he would not be able to suppress the county government, so she deliberately left some manpower for him. Among the more than thirty wounded soldiers, except for a few who were seriously injured, the rest could be used as errands after a period of recovery. Even if he can no longer serve as an errand, he is still the princess's eyes, ears and minions. How dare Moxian Cheng make any changes?

With half a year as a buffer, if he still can't secure his official position, no one can blame him for being relieved of his duties.

Chen Zhuo remained silent until now and smiled: "I haven't had time to congratulate the princess for wiping out Heisong Village! By the way, how should we deal with the bandits in Heisong Village?"

Jiang Shaohua raised his eyebrows and smiled: "No need to deal with it."

"Why is this?" Chen Zhuo showed just the right amount of surprise. I obviously received a letter from the princess yesterday, but I am still pretending like this.

Yang Zheng on the side curled his lips inwardly, but he was actually very curious. Only Chen Zhuo had read the letter, and he had no idea what was written in it.

Jiang Shaohua said lightly: "More than three hundred bandits were beheaded, and their bodies were all hung outside the military camp and exposed for ten days."

Everyone: "..."

Moxian Cheng and others felt chills running down their backs, and they wished they could stuff their heads into their chests. Yang Zheng lowered his head a step slower, and when the princess glanced at him, his heart suddenly became cold.

More than three hundred bandits!

They all had their heads chopped off!

And expose the body!

This is a demonstration and a deterrent to all those who have different ideas!

Although the princess is young, her methods are ruthless and sophisticated!

Chen Zhuo lost no time in taking over the conversation again: "This year, Nanyang County has been plagued by bandits and troubles. It is indeed not peaceful. It is appropriate for the princess to do this."

Jiang Shaohua smiled brightly and spoke in a light tone like a normal cute little girl: "Before, I was worried that Chen Changshi would think that I was ruthless and harmful to Tianhe. Chen Changshi also agreed, which shows that I did not do anything wrong. "

"There is still a bandit nest in Li County, and Qin Zhan has led his people to break out the stronghold. We will stay in the county government office for a few days, waiting for good news from Qin Zhan. By the way, we will take a look at the spring plowing in Li County."

Chen Zhuo happily agreed and looked at Cai Ye: "The princess is here, and she has asked Magistrate Cai to arrange a place to stay. Also, after settling in, a dinner party will be held. It is not only to welcome the princess, but also to celebrate Magistrate Cai's promotion. .”

Cai Ye responded respectfully.

……

The former Magistrate Cai left in despair with his wife, children, two concubines, and two carts of luggage. It was quiet when I left, with no one to see me off.

The Jie Feng celebration banquet in the evening was quite lively.

There are two seats in total, one for the princess, accompanied by Chen Changshi and the new magistrate Cai. In the other seat, Yang Zheng was accompanied by three people from Mo County.

The princess didn't drink alcohol when she was young, so the rest of them had a few drinks, chatted for a while, and then dispersed.

The Li County Government Office looks a bit shabby, but the backyard is actually very spacious, neat and elegant. It can be seen that the former magistrate Cai was not without merit. At least he was quite elegant in food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Yin Zhu and Tu Bai were quick with their hands and feet. They had already replaced the bedding and curtains on the bed with new ones, and were waiting for the princess to change and freshen up.

Tu Bai murmured in a low voice: "I don't understand why the princess supports Master Cai so much."

Jiang Shaohua chuckled and said nothing.

Yinzhu was much smarter than Tubai, and laughed in a low voice: "I don't understand this. Without the princess, Master Cai would never be able to be the county magistrate in his life. Even if he wants to secure this position in the future, he will have to rely entirely on the county. Only the Lord can do it. From now on, the princess will have the final say in Li County."

"The same is true for the Tang Yamen servant. He received a great favor from the princess and was promoted to an unusual position. He must be grateful to the princess and do his job wholeheartedly."

Tu Bai suddenly realized: "So that's it."

Jiang Shaohua smiled again and glanced at Yinzhu: "Okay, just know it in your heart. You don't have to say it so clearly. Don't make it known everywhere."
