Chapter 151

The meeting with Li Chengqian was only half an hour later. After bidding farewell to the prince and waving to everyone still in the long pavilion, Luo Yan embarked on the road to Lantian County.

The official road was smooth all the way, and the driver also wanted to hurry up, so he speeded up. In just half a day, Luo Yan was sent to Lantian County.According to the usual practice, Luo Yan notified the Ministry of Officials before leaving Chang'an, and a special staff from the Ministry of Officials would be dispatched to inform the current Lantian County Magistrate Luo Yan of the situation.Now that he has arrived in Lantian, Luo Yan can't just run over to hand over his duties in the middle of the afternoon.

So after staying in an inn, Luo Yan wrote a letter of greeting to the current county magistrate, asking Ah Quan to send it to the county government office, stating that he would go to the county government office to take over in the morning.

It's not that Luo Yan is putting on airs, no matter how you say it, you have to make preparations.Before coming, Lu Deming also specifically informed Luo Yan about the matter.This can be said to be a kind of etiquette in the officialdom, allowing ample time for the predecessor to prepare, or to make up for things that have not been sorted out.The joints are all tacit.

Luo Yan also didn't want to be aggressive when he first came up, so that he would have no friends in the end.

When Ah Quan came back and told Luo Yan that his family knew about it, and said that he would be waiting at the county government office tomorrow, Luo Yan began to rest with peace of mind.The horses and horses are exhausted, even if it is such a short distance in a carriage, it is not at all easier than reading for a few hours.

At dawn the next day, Luo Yan was awakened by Ah Quan's knock on the door.Opening the door, I saw Ah Quan standing at the door with the food he bought outside.

Looking at this boy who was only four years younger than himself, Luo Yan said dumbfoundedly: "Ah Quan, now you don't have to go to court, why are you up so early?"

"Master, you don't understand now. Now you are also the head of a county. When you hand over your duties, shouldn't you dress up well? Let me tell you, it's already late at this time, I forgot to return the official uniform. It has not been taken out and ironed, if there are any wrinkles, it will be too embarrassing to the owner." Ah Quan took it for granted.

After all, in the past, whether Luo Yan was an official or a part-time job in Beijing, his duties were very leisurely and had no real power.Although the official is small now, but the real power is great. With this bit of knowledge, Ah Quan is a servant who was rewarded by Li Shimin, so naturally he is still a pure family.

"Okay, okay, the official uniform is on the shelf. By the time you think about it, it will be too late. I have checked it, and there are no wrinkles that you are worried about. Okay, now that you are awake, bring me a basin of water, and I will Wash your face first, you are still in a daze." Patting Ah Quan on the shoulder, Luo Yan said angrily.

Putting the food in his hands on the table, Ah Quan picked up the wooden basin and went down to fetch water.And Luo Yan sat on the stool in a daze.

Regarding the next road, Luo Yan already has a rough plan after experiencing Lu Deming's teaching.After all, my impression of Lantian County only exists in the few simple materials given by the Ministry of Officials, and this person who belongs to Shang County is well-known in the Chang'an generation.A county with a large population has a lot of arable land, but the treasury is not full.

Speaking of which, Luo Yan's predecessor was also a capable person, and he fully utilized his ability to keep his success to the extreme. In the two years since he took office, Lantian's various taxes have never been less than one cent. , but there is no cut either.This is already a very powerful skill.

It's just that these things are still too brief. If Luo Yan wants to know more detailed information, he needs to understand it after taking office.

After washing his face, Ah Quan forced him to tidy up his official uniform, and Luo Yan went downstairs.In the early morning, there were not many people in the inn, and after Luo Yan went downstairs in all his clothes, he shocked everyone he saw.

The folks know a lot about officials' attire. Although they don't know Luo Yan's role, after being astonished, these people greeted respectfully: "Lang Jun is well." Smiling and nodding to the greeter, Luo Yan stepped on The carriage rushed to the county government.

Seeing the direction of the carriage, these people knew it clearly.It turned out that this young man in his early twenties was the newly appointed county magistrate.The news that Lantian County was going to change the county magistrate spread in Lantian County as early as after receiving the document from the Ministry of Officials.Just as the spring planting was over and the farming was slack, the people in the city began to discuss what the new county magistrate looked like.

So seeing Luo Yan's official uniform of the sixth-rank official and walking towards the county government, everyone immediately understood what was going on.

Not to mention that the news of the instant release from the inn was spreading in Lantian County. When Luo Yan arrived at the county government office, it happened to be the beginning of Chen Shi.At this time, all the officials in Lantian County could rush to the county government, and there was enough time left for these people to chat.

Along the way, seeing that the stalls selling breakfast were about to be dismantled, and the number of pedestrians on the street had gradually increased, Luo Yan nodded, feeling very satisfied.I'm afraid that there are few people under my own rule, and it feels like playing a stand-alone game.Besides, there are more people, and there is a sense of accomplishment in benefiting the people, right?

It took only a moment for the carriage to reach the gate of the county government office. After getting out of the carriage, all the officials of Lantian County were already waiting at the gate.

Originally, Luo Yan's official could only let these people wait in the courtyard, but Luo Yan also had the status of the founder of the county, and his rank was much higher.Originally, the current county magistrate was going to personally go to the inn where Luo Yan was staying to meet Luo Yan, but he was persuaded by the county magistrate who wanted to be familiar with human nature.

"Since the county magistrate of Luo has already said that he will hand over his duties in the county government today, the implication is that he doesn't want me to go there to greet him. If he goes there rashly, he will make people unhappy."

So everyone waited here early in the morning.Who Luo Yan was, some of these low-level officials knew about it, and when the county magistrate said it, they began to chat about this strange man in the officialdom.After all, Lantian is very close to Chang'an. What Luo Yan did these days has already spread here. Strange people, these people are the most pertinent evaluation of Luo Yan who keeps dying but has never died.

Luo Yan got out of the carriage and saw so many people saluting to him, he felt a little uncomfortable, so he bowed back and said at the same time: "Everyone, you are welcome." In a hurry, Luo Yan only thought of his position as one of them. The grades are the same, and if you receive a gift from others, you must return the gift.But he forgot that he still has a lord who is not too big or too small.

It's not that Luo Yan is stupid, it's just that in Chang'an, the people he meets are either senior officials or higher titles than himself.Only those who do not bow to others rely on their friendship, how can anyone bow to themselves.It's all about habit.

Seeing everyone's embarrassing faces, Luo Yan patted his head, and then remembered that he was considered a big shot here.He smiled immediately and said: "Don't worry about other things, everyone, from now on you will work for the people of Lantian, worthy of Luo Yan's worship." It was a reluctant reason to expose this omission, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The current county magistrate came out and said: "Xu Song, Magistrate of Lantian County, respectfully invite Mr. Luo Lang to go to the main hall of the county yamen, and put it there as soon as the affairs are handed over."

Nodding his head, Luo Yan followed Xu Song, leading a group of officials to the main hall of the county government.

The so-called handover is to check the documents issued by the Ministry of Officials, and at the same time hand over the official seal, the account books of the county, etc.After some procedures were completed, Xu Song rejected Luo Yan's farewell banquet, and immediately rushed to Chang'an with his servants.

It's not that Xu Song didn't give Luo Yan face.Logically speaking, Xu Song shouldn't refuse an invitation from a potential stock with a great reputation in Emperor Xin.But after the handover of duties, it should be time for Luo Yan to come on stage and build a good relationship with the officials in Lantian County. If he really wants to accept Luo Yan's banquet at this time, it will be the time for Luo Yan to be cheated.

It is better to let Luo Yan misunderstand for a while than to trick Luo Yan and be hated by him forever. Xu Song is absolutely not confused about this matter.

Saying goodbye to Xu Song and asking Ah Quan to arrange a place to live, Luo Yan led the officials to the back office.Under the leadership of the county magistrate, he went to the place where the county magistrate handles official business, let these people sit down, and Luo Yan began to ask about their situation.

Xiancheng took the lead, and everyone made a simple self-introduction.Luo Yan can be regarded as familiar with his subordinates.

The county magistrate, Chen Yuru (acted by the author Tada Jianghu), was in his thirties, a Jinshi of eight years of Wude, came to Lantian County for two years, and followed Xu Song to do a lot of practical things.If Xu Song resigns normally, this person is very likely to take over as the county magistrate.

Chief Registrar Liu Zongshen (Xuefeixuewu’s sister wanted it, she looks like an uncle, I don’t know if it suits my taste, haha), a local, in his 40s, had passed the imperial examination in the Sui Dynasty, but failed, after returning to his hometown Being elected by the local government, he started as a cangcao, and now he has achieved a high level.

County lieutenant Song Zhen was also a Jinshi in the eighth year of Wude, but his fate was not as good as Chen Yuru's. He waited for a vacancy in Beijing for half a year before being sent here.

As for the little officials like Liu Cao, although Luo Yan roughly remembered their names, he still needed to get close to them in order to remember them well.

When the new official took office, he was supposed to start a fire.However, Luo Yan didn't have the habit of undermining others, he just asked these people to hold a brief meeting after the introduction.That's right, this was Luo Yan's first fire when he took office.

"I am Luo Yan, I think you all know some of the things I have done from different channels. In fact, I am a very reasonable person."

After a pause, Luo Yan felt that his self-introduction was really unique, and coughed lightly: "Everyone must have heard that I was reprimanded here by His Majesty. Everyone knows the reason. With His Majesty's forgiveness, I will definitely work diligently in the future to benefit the whole world. In my hands, as long as you abide by the law and work hard, everyone's benefits will be indispensable."

Hearing Luo Yan's straightforward promise, these people couldn't help smiling.The more such a person is, the easier it is for everyone to get along with, and this person's status is not low, so the benefits promised will not be unfulfilled.

"However, I also warn you in advance, don't covet benefits that don't belong to you. If anyone has long hands, don't blame me." If the benefits are promised, you have to give some warnings.How could it be possible that Luo Yan didn't know about the nasty things about the local officials before they came, so many people reminded them.But Luo Yan has always followed the principle of "don't say that you don't say something in advance", Luo Yan still explained carefully.

 The second change, continue, use two or three chapters to solve the ordinary days.
