Chapter 58 Got the good news

In the golden autumn of October, there is a harvest scene all the way.

Lin Feng and his party left Fangjiacun and walked for more than four days before arriving in Jiazhou.

Just as he was about to enter the city, he unexpectedly met Sun Jiewu at the city gate.

"Sir, you are finally back!" Sun Jiewu said happily.

"Boss Sun, why are you here?" Lin Feng asked curiously.

"Sir, I am waiting for you here. I have been waiting for two days. If you calculate the time, you should arrive in Jiazhou."

In ancient times, there were no communication tools such as mobile phones. When waiting for someone, you could only estimate the approximate time and wait in one place. That was really called waiting for someone.

"Why are you waiting for me here?" Lin Feng then asked.

"Zhang County Zun has also come to the state government office. He said that the governor of Shaanxi has sent documents to Jiazhou. Please go to the state government office when you come." Sun Jiewu said.

"Okay, Wang Qin is coming with me to the state government office. Xiaoyu, you take everyone to Sitong Express' store in Jiazhou to rest." Lin Feng ordered.

"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely put the old lady and the others in place." Fang Xiaoyu replied.

Jiazhou Prefecture Government Office.

"Yuanshan is finally here, congratulations to Yuanshan." Xu Tongzhi was the first to see Lin Feng and came up to congratulate him.

"Is there any happy event?" Lin Feng asked puzzledly.

"Now it's time to call Yuanshan County Magistrate Lin. Do you think it's a good thing?" Xu Tongzhi revealed the answer.

"Is this really true?" Lin Feng was also a little dizzy from this unexpected surprise. He returned to Taiyuan and committed a major case of murder and robbery, and was promoted when he came back?
  "How can you joke about this kind of thing? This is a letter sent by the governor's office. You should read it first and then go to Lord Zhizhou." Xu Tongzhi said and handed over a letter.

Lin Feng quickly opened it and read it. It was written by Jing Xiaoyan.

It turned out that after the owner of the scene, Bo, returned to Xi'an, he immediately reported to Governor Sun Chuanting about Lin Feng and submitted a report on Lin Feng's attack on Gaoliang Village.

I heard that the county magistrate of a county was able to collect the two taxes in just over a month after taking office without triggering a civil uprising. This was rare in the whole of Shaanxi. Such an official who is capable of both literary and military work is also greatly appreciated.

Then he heard that Jiazhou Prefectural Government had suspended Prime Minister Lin County because of the crime of committing suicide by the evil official Ding Dianshi of Fugu County. After reading the evidence of Ding Yingqi's crime submitted by Fugu County and the letter written to him by Feng Tongzhi of Jiazhou County, Governor Sun Da He couldn't help but became furious and sternly scolded the Jiazhou government office.

Sun Chuanting was a frontier official who did what he said, dared to take on responsibilities, and did not stick to old habits. Otherwise, he would not have been able to pull up an army that could defeat the Qin army and defeat the peasant army in less than a year after arriving in Shaanxi. Gao Yingxiang, the nominal leader of the world, was killed.

So he immediately wrote a letter to the Ministry of Personnel, requesting that Feng Mian, the Tongzhi of Jiazhou, be removed from his post, and recommend Zhang Yingjie, the magistrate of Fugu County, to take over as Tongzhi, and Lin Feng to take over as the magistrate of Fugu County.

In these areas under the jurisdiction of Shaanxi Province, the main decision-making power for the appointment of sixth- and seventh-grade officials lies with the Shaanxi governor's office. The Ministry of Personnel is not just fulfilling the appointment procedures, so it will naturally not refute the face of a feudal official. , so the appointment document came out soon.

After Lin Feng read the letter written by Jing Xiaoyan, he couldn't help but feel very excited. Being a county magistrate was not as simple as being promoted from the eighth rank to the seventh rank, but he could truly rule the country.

In ancient times, transportation was very inconvenient, and Shangguan rarely went downstairs. As a county magistrate, he had great autonomy, so he could realize many of Lin Feng's ideas.

"I would also like to thank Mr. Tongzhi for speaking out last time. Zhang Xianzun told me when I got back that without your support, I'm afraid I would have been dismissed instead of suspended." Lin Feng thanked Shangguan, although he only contributed a little. , but this gratitude cannot be discounted.

"Where, where? There is still a noble person in the distant mountains to help. Then let's go to Zhang Zhizhou." Xu Tongzhi said politely.

The two of them walked into the official residence of Zhang Shangqing, the magistrate of the state. Magistrate Zhang was already inside. It seemed that the conversation between the prefects had been going on since ancient times.

"I have met the state and county lords!" Lin Feng saluted respectfully. "We are here from the distant mountains. Now we can no longer call you the county magistrate, but you must call me Lord Tongzhi." Zhang Shangqing greeted him clearly politely.

You can't be rude, Lin Feng is now directly connected to the governor's office. The state government just issued a notice of suspension not long ago, and the official department sent a letter to promote Lin Feng to the county magistrate. His face was slapped.

Lin Feng has only been serving as county magistrate for three months, but there are still people in the court who are good at becoming officials.

The key is that the governor's office is very dissatisfied with the state government's handling of Ding Yingqi's suicide. Zhang Shangqing has been angrily reprimanded in a letter from Governor Sun Da, and he can't help but turn his anger on his former colleague Feng Mian. If this old guy hadn't messed around, how could he have harmed Zhang Shangqing? He must be criticized by the governor.

It just so happened that the Ministry of Civil Affairs also dismissed Feng Mian from his post and asked him to retire early. Zhang Shangqing didn't even conduct the most basic resignation ceremony, so he just told him to get out as far as he could.

Feng Mian had no choice but to leave the government office in despair. This retribution came quickly enough.

"Then I would like to congratulate Lord Tongzhi!" Lin Feng immediately changed his words.

"Same joy, same joy! I am blessed by the joy of the distant mountains." Zhang Yingjie knew that he was blessed by Lin Feng. In order to move Lin Feng's position, he picked up a cheap one, so his attitude was naturally very polite.

"It just so happens that Zhang Tongzhi and County Magistrate Lin have arrived, so there is no need to go back to Fugu to hand over the job. You can hand over here directly and then you can take office directly. Anyway, County Magistrate Lin is familiar with the situation in Fugu, so I don't think there is any need to bother. Come on." Zhang Shangqing said to the two of them.

"Everything depends on the arrangement of the state!" The two responded in unison.

"Also, this time the official department has also made it clear that due to the serious population loss, Fugu will not be worthy of the county magistrate in the future. The history will be determined by the state government. Yuanshan, please recommend a candidate after you return." Zhang Shangqing continued.

For a low-level official position in a remote county like Fugu, the state government didn't think much of it, so it simply gave the recommendation power to Lin Feng, which could make up for the psychological damage caused by his suspension last time.

"Thank you, Lord Zhou. I will make the selection and recommendation after I return to the official position." Lin Feng was overjoyed when he heard this. Without the restraint of the county magistrate, it would be much easier to do things.

"Zun Zhou, Zhang Tongzhi and Yuan Shan are both here today. I suggest we have a meal together at Zhou Yamen to celebrate them."

Xu Tongzhi made timely suggestions, but with Master Zhizhou around, Xu Shihua did not dare to suggest eating at a place like Qingyan Tower.

"That's a good suggestion. Then Yingjie and Yuanshan go through the handover procedures first, and then stay and have dinner together in the evening." Zhang Shangqing ordered.

"Thank you Lord Zhou and Master Xu Tongzhi!" Lin Feng and Zhang Yingjie replied together.

After that, the two left the magistrate's office together and went to the prefectural government office to complete the formalities. Zhang Yingjie handed over the magistrate's seal that he carried with him to Lin Feng. Lin Feng was already in charge of the other county government treasury, so there was no need to hand it over again. , Lin Feng can directly return to Fugu to take office.

Although Xu Tongzhi arranged the dinner in the evening, Lin Feng would not eat with just one mouth.

He asked Wang Qin to inform Chen Xiong from Sitong Express to order a table of delicious food at the best restaurant in Jiazhou, and buy some good wine to deliver together.

Hey, the officialdom is low, so you might as well bring your own food and drinks when you go out for a meal.

Sure enough, when Xu Tongzhi saw that Lin Feng had prepared all the dishes, he immediately gave him a thumbs up and patted him on the shoulder, saying that he had a high emotional intelligence.

In the evening, Zhang Dazhizhou came to the table and saw that the food and wine were so high-end and high-end. He also expressed his satisfaction. Several big officials in Jiazhou officialdom began to drink with amusement. During this period, Lin Feng and three Shangguan also came to have a drink. The big cup frequently set off small climaxes, making the atmosphere of the dinner very lively, and a group of people drank to their heart's content.

But not to mention that the wine table is indeed the best place to bring people closer. After a few rounds of wine, Zhang Zhizhou also put down his arrogance and started drinking with Lin Feng and others arm in arm. This relationship between the upper echelons of Jiazhou officialdom was established. a good foundation.

Since he drank a lot in the evening, even though it was rice wine, Lin Feng was still eighty percent drunk, so he had no other arrangements and went directly back to the Sitong Express Guest Room to sleep.

 In power, Lin Feng's new stage of development has begun.
