The county government occupies a large area.
The county government office is in the middle, and lined up on both sides are the various subordinate government offices.
This is undoubtedly the most majestic place in Mayi City, and it is also the most lively place in Mayi.
In fact, the Mayi County Government also has many functions, and almost provides an overview of the military and political affairs of Mayi County. In other words, this is actually a smaller version of the Jiedushi Yamen.
The highest officer of the county, Li Jing, also has many titles, such as county honor, government prince, county prince, and during war, he can also be called military marquis, military lord, general, etc.
That is to say, Li Jing did not have the title of Xijue, otherwise he would be called more.
Therefore, in general, it is natural for Mayi County to be large, but it would be a bit strange if it is small.
Li Po and Li Chun, two country bumpkins, felt a little uncomfortable from the moment they walked onto the road in front of the county government, because the road was really wide. Even a well-informed person like Li Po was surprised. Later,
It is estimated that 90% of those lanes are dwarfed by this avenue.
The two of them were walking side by side, and the stale smell in the ditch beside them could not affect their curiosity. They took a look at this and that, everything was fresh and new to their eyes.
It is easy to find the county magistrate, but the county government office is an important place and it is not easy for ordinary people to get in.
After a lot of talking, Li Po took Li Chun to where Cao Cao was.
Even though both Li Po and Li Chun had a strong sense of direction, they almost fainted at the county government office where people could go in and out. This was really not a place for powerless people.
The atmosphere of bureaucracy is so heavy that no one is willing to say a word to Li Po and Li Po when they look at their outfits.
Li Po also complained in his heart that Cheng Da and Luo San were so unreliable that they didn't know the meaning of sending Buddha to the west, so why did he come to lead them?
When they found the driver, Li Po was already covered in sweat, and Li Chun's eyes were full of fear. She had never seen so many officials since she was sensible.
However, when it comes to Jiacao, it becomes simpler.
After some chatting with the concierge, he heard that someone who had been recommended to the county to raise horses was here. The concierge immediately became a little more enthusiastic and pointed out where they should go, who they should look for, and what they needed to do.
After listening carefully, Li Po breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, okay, this is not the time when multiple documents are required. Otherwise, if you have to go back and forth like this several times, damn, do you want to lose weight?
The two entered an old house and found a room.
The person on duty is no longer a petty official, but a serious county official, a petty bureaucrat in his thirties who speaks with a pure local accent.
It was very busy inside Jia Cao, with a constant flow of people coming and going.
The roars coming from various rooms let Li Po know that just a short while after the New Year, people's tempers were very irritable and he had to be careful.
After waiting for a long time, it was their turn.
At this point, the process has become faster. There is not so much blame-shifting. I have to ask you to make more trips. In addition to showing your authority, you can also get some benefits.
Maybe it's because the low-level officials haven't figured it out at this time, or maybe it's because the people who come here to do things are not ordinary people, so most of the things that need to be done can be done smoothly.
After verifying his true identity, he also asked detailed questions about his origins. After mumbling for a long time, listening to Li Po's pure accent, the official finally showed a smile on his face.
He waved his hand and asked the clerk to bring him a booklet. He opened a page and asked Li Po to sign his name.
Li Po took a pen and looked at the booklet. There were not many words, but he didn't recognize most of them, and he was a little dumbfounded and timid.
The junior official looked at it with a smile. Li Po could only bite the bullet and showed off his calligraphy with the brush he used for the first time. Fortunately, the name was definitely written correctly because Li Chengzu could still recognize a few big characters.
Pass him.
Looking at the awkward handwriting that made him wish he could lie down, the official smiled and didn't take it seriously.
Afterwards, Li Po was given a small bronze medal, which should be similar to an ID card. With this, Li Po could pass through most places in the county without any hindrance.
Then he told Li Po that he would come back to Cao Cao in a few days and receive some certificates, which should be similar to house deeds. In other words, after signing a contract with the government, he would suddenly become a member of the government family.
Li Po walked out in a daze. His identity was now a small groom under Cao Cao, the governor of Mayi County.
Li Po still doesn't know how to classify the inner and outer Cao. In fact, the so-called inner Cao is the private Cao of the county leader Li Jing.
Most of the expenses were borne by the government, but Li Jing himself also had to bear part of it.
In times of war, the government will requisition all officers and assistants, and they are not allowed to keep them privately. However, in peacetime, in addition to serving the county government, most of the things they do are official.
No need to ask, you can tell at a glance that this is a variant of Fu Bing...
It has to be said that after hundreds of years of war, the Sui Dynasty was indeed unique in how to effectively use war resources.
Li Po didn't think much about it. He was now facing a lawsuit on his head.
After leaving the county government office, you have to enter the inner palace, which is Li Jing's private domain. It is built behind the county government office. It is separated from the county government office by a high wall, but there are also many portals.
Generally speaking, the top officials of a county are arranged in this way.
But in fact, the prefects, governors, and magistrates would all guard the land and find private houses for themselves, euphemistically saying that they would be consumed by the provincial government. In fact, they thought this place was not clean enough.
A son of a wealthy family like Li Jing is no exception, but Li Jing lives in the mansion behind the county mansion most of the time. Obviously, he is a guy with a strong desire for power.
In fact, this also means that unless Li Jing is promoted to the governor of Mayi, no one can think of becoming an official in Mayi, because he, Li Jing, now occupies the house of the governor generously. Who comes and lets him Li Jingteng?
He will be Li Jing's mortal enemy wherever he goes...
However, Li Po only felt that he had to walk a long way.
It does take a lot of walking, because the inner mansion is much larger than the outer mansion.
Although Li Jing took office, he didn't bring many relatives, but he definitely had a lot of subordinates. Most of them were Li Jing's personal guards. The fashionable thing of recruiting deserters was done everywhere, and Li Jing didn't fall behind others. Otherwise,
Cheng Zhijie couldn't come in either.
Li Po led Li Chun to a side door, knocked on the door, and checked his waist badge for the concierge who opened the door, and then waited for a while.
The concierge came back again and led Li Po through the door to transfer the property. He kept looking at Li Chun along the way.
He was quite vigilant, but he could only explain with a smile, "My second brother, come and help me with my work."
The concierge smiled and said lazily, "In the future, don't bring people in while waiting for others. If people find out, you won't be able to do this job for long."
