high official

Chapter 146 Dissatisfied
Early the next morning, Wang Xian went to the Houya to pay his respects. Mizhi County had no wife or children, and he was alone.

The governor of Mizhi County said: "Second Master, just do what you want, the Eldest Master usually only gets up at noon."

As a newcomer, he had to be cautious, Wang Xian insisted on shaking Mizhi County awake.After a long time, the old magistrate opened his sleepy eyes, looked at Wang Xian and said, "Who are you?"

"My next official, Wang Xian." Wang Xian said in his heart, okay, okay, really forgetful. "The history of this county who just took office yesterday."

"Oh, I remembered..." Mi Zhixian saw that it was still early outside, and didn't intend to get up, so he muttered, "What's the matter?"

"The next official heard the sound of the clapper, but he didn't see the officials lining up the office, so he came to ask for instructions..."

"Didn't they tell you? We don't play that." Mi Zhixian yawned again and again: "I have greeted them, and from now on, I will listen to the second master. Do whatever you say, let's divide the work reasonably, Those who are able work harder, and the elderly sleep more..." He closed his eyes and muttered, "I'll sleep again..."

"..." Wang Xian was completely speechless. Yesterday Mizhi County had been bragging that he was governing by doing nothing. It turned out that this 'doing nothing' was aimed at himself.As for how to deal with it, I leave it to others...

With such an irresponsible officer at the booth, Wang Xian had no choice but to go back to his west office. After seeing that the time had passed for a long time, there were very few people who came to meet him.Wang Xian said displeased: "Didn't I say I want to order Mao yesterday?"

"Back to the second master, this county has always been idle, maybe they are not used to it for a while." The few who came responded in a low voice.

"How are you used to it?" Wang Xian said coldly.

"We're used to getting up early," several people said with a smile, "What's more, my lord does not dare to be late the first day at midnight."

"That's good." Wang Xian nodded and said, "Then why did they dare?"

"I said it just now, I'm not used to it for a while..." Several people whispered.

"That's not afraid of me." Wang Xian said softly, then suddenly slapped the table and said loudly: "In a stick of incense, call them all here! Otherwise, just wait and eat!"

A few people in the hall secretly called it unlucky. If I had known this, it would be nice to sleep at home like everyone else.But seeing the second master get angry, who would dare to touch his bad luck?They all quickly took orders to call someone.

According to the regulations, officials must live in the yamen, so most people can still come on time. Of course, most of them are disheveled and sleepy. It can be seen that the saying that they are not used to getting up early is not a lie.

Seeing these messy and rickety guys, Wang Xiancai realized how well the magistrate of Wei County governed the government... When he was in Fuyang County, the cloud board sounded, and the officials came to the hall, sitting upright and neatly dressed.No one dared to be a little sloppy, because if they were picked out by the magistrate, they would be scolded at least, and punished at worst.So from the appearance alone, it looks like a small court meeting.

At that time, Wang Xian also complained about getting up at the fifth watch, but thinking about it now, without this solemn ceremony, without the grand lord going to the morning hall to catch up with each other, the officials would definitely be tired and slack, and the majesty of the yamen would be gone. As a result, many evils abound, and Shangguan will suffer from them sooner or later.Well, but Mizhi County has been here for more than ten years...

Obviously, the first thing Wang Dianshi has to do is to reverse this trend of slack, but simply and rudely hitting the board is not the answer, because the law does not punish the public, and the public will cause public anger, and there is no way to clean up the public anger... …The gang of squad leaders, arresters, prison leaders and the like are not kind.

.

Everyone in the hall saw the young second master's face sinking like water, just lowered his head to read the book without saying a word, and felt a little worried.

After a long time, everyone finally couldn't hold back anymore, and they all looked at Zheng Sixing... Among the six house officials in Pujiang County, there were actually five surnamed Zheng.Zheng Sixing had no choice but to whisper: "I don't know if the second master called us, what instructions do you have?"

After a while, Wang Xian raised his head and said lightly, "There is no instruction."

"This..." Zheng Sixing said in a low voice, "The second master is speaking out of anger, right?"

"To be honest, you will ignore what I say anyway, why should I waste my words?" Wang Xian replied coldly, and continued to look through his files.

"Second master, please calm down." Seeing that he was still angry about this matter, Zheng Sixing hurriedly said: "These gangsters are used to being lazy, and they can't change it for a while, now they all remember..." He said and handed They gave everyone winks, and they all begged in one voice: "Don't make an example, don't make an example."

Only then did Wang Xian's expression soften, and he looked around the crowd and said: "Everyone, do you feel that this official is too strict?"

Everyone shook their heads and said 'dare not' and 'no'.

"Really not." Wang Xian's voice became more and more severe: "The law of the Ming Dynasty expressly stipulates that government officials and servants should arrive at the yamen's office at the time of the day every day, and those who have not arrived at the roll call will be given twenty small boards every time they miss it!" He said: "If the official is strict, your butts will bloom already!"

All the subordinates are hobs, so they won't scare Wang Xian with a few words, but feel that he is a little weak.

"The sage said that if you don't teach and punish, the punishment will be numerous and evil will prevail; if you teach but not punish, the traitors will not be punished." But Wang Xian's next words left them dumbfounded: "I didn't agree with you yesterday on punishment measures. So if I spank your ass today, I will punish you without teaching. Master said, knowing your mistakes can make you better, I must reflect on myself, and I will teach you this lesson now..." After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "Everyone There is nothing else to do today. Everyone, copy the "Law of Officials" from "Law of the Ming Dynasty" fifty times. You can go home after copying. If you can't finish copying, do it fifty times tomorrow!"

All the subordinate officials were dumbfounded, this...is this too torturous?
Wang Xian didn't allow any discussion, and he didn't allow them to go back to find the shooter, so he distributed paper and pens and ordered them to copy in class.

The subordinate officials had no choice but to lie on the ground, pouted their buttocks, and began to copy.There were also a few who refused to write. Wang Xian speculated: "If you don't copy it, you already know it? Then the official will be punished for not teaching..."

A team member surnamed Huang was tongue-tied and said, "Go back to Second Master, I can't wait, I can't write..."

"How can you be the team leader if you can't write?" Wang Xian said coldly: "You guys are suspended from work today, go to a private school to learn how to read, and come back when you can write."

"Second master, please be kind..." The heads of Huang's team hurriedly kowtowed and said, "We are so old, how can we be foolish."

"That's right," Wang Xian nodded and said, "It's the official who shirked his responsibility. Since you are my subordinates, I should naturally teach you." He waved his hand and said, "Every day at you hour, come to my place. This officer will give you literacy classes!"

"Second master..." The first few in Huang's class were worried about studying, but they were even more worried about losing their jobs.

"Suspension is not dismissal," Erhei, who was standing behind Wang Xian, said with a muffled grunt, "Second master is willing to teach you personally, idiots are not blessed!"

Several team leaders had no choice but to kowtow to thank them, and stood up to serve them full of sympathy.Seeing this, the rest hurriedly copied the book with their buttocks pouting, so as not to follow in their footsteps...

There are still a few people who are not late today, so naturally they don't need to be punished. Zheng Sixing is one of them. He still wants to intercede for everyone, so he leaned closer to the table and whispered: "Second Master, I can't work today like this. How about letting They took it back and used their off hours to copy it."

"It's not in the way." Wang Xian looked away from the book and said with a smile: "To be an official, you must be 'clear, cautious, and diligent'. The minimum requirement for "diligence" is to go to and from work on time." As he spoke, his voice faded He said coldly: "If you can't even do this, why do you have to do business!"

His hot and cold, moody energy made Zheng Sixing feel uncomfortable all over, and he felt that he had nowhere to use his energy.I had no choice but to whisper in a low voice: "This is all a problem developed under the hands of the first master. If the second master wants to rectify it, there is no need to be in such a hurry, right?"

"Do you want to provoke the relationship between Shangguan?" Wang Xian looked at him coldly, his eyes were like knives: "It was the elder who asked me to let go of you!"

"Don't dare..." Zheng Sixing hastily said: "It's the villain who has too much heart."

"You shouldn't worry about it, don't worry about it." Wang Xian's tone calmed down again: "Isn't it just a county criminal name? How many things can there be in a day? I just deal with it."

Zheng Si Xinglian claimed that it was true, but he couldn't stop laughing in his heart... After tasting our carefully prepared snacks, to see if you can still speak big words, he personally handed a large stack of files to Wang Xian.

.

However, Wang Xian just gave the order yesterday, and today the subordinates are late collectively. They are really lazy and can't get up?Obviously not.Are they deliberately confronting Wang Xian...

The day before yesterday Shuaihui and Erhei went to the city to inquire. Both of them are experts, so they naturally know that the teahouse in front of the Yamen has everything they need.So I ordered a pot of tea and listened to people talking in the corner of the teahouse... Sure enough, a group of subordinates were talking there, and the topic was the upcoming Wang Dianshi.

But what they were talking about was not how to welcome Wang Xian, but how to give him some flair... Wang Xian was not surprised by this at all, because he was born as an official.He knew that the subordinate officials were born and bred, and have been entrenched in the local yamen for generations, so they have long been a nest of local snakes.And those officials sent by the imperial court are all foreigners, and they left after completing their term of office... Therefore, the officials regard themselves as the real masters of the yamen, and the officials as passers-by in the yamen.

It is true that the officials live two lives and are alone, no matter how shrewd the officials are, they cannot get rid of the deception and interference of these subordinates. If the officials are mediocre and incompetent, they will simply become captives , and left it at its mercy.

A common method used by petty officials is to instigate many local people to come forward to file a complaint at the beginning of the official's tenure, which must make the new officials dizzy.Then deliberately made the case complicated and complicated, making it full of mistakes and omissions. In the end, he was afraid of government affairs and had to rely on them to handle it.In this way, the petty officials took into their own hands the power that belonged to the great master.

There is another reason why the subordinate officials in Pujiang punished Wang Xian, that is, his title of "the first official in the south of the Yangtze River", which is too much to hate.How can a kid who doesn't even have full hair be called the number one in the south of the Yangtze River?Let me show you, ginger is still old and spicy!
They deliberately wanted to make Wang Xian look ugly, so as to dispel the envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts...

　The heat stroke half a month ago caused seasonal rhinitis, and it has become more and more serious recently. Old readers know how serious it is... But rest assured, there will be no fewer updates.It's just that it may explode and be incompetent.There is one more.
