Chapter 36 Three fires when the new official takes office
After seeing off General Manager Liang, Fang Zhuo immediately returned to the county government office. He was very curious about the person who was looking for shopkeeper Zhang. If Fang Zhuo guessed correctly, that person should be the head of the Xin escort, who was also the emperor's brother, Ling'an Guo.
The prince!
Unfortunately, when I arrived at the county government office and asked the official, I found out that shopkeeper Zhang had gone back a long time ago. Looking at this situation, it would be a bit unprofessional to go directly to shopkeeper Zhang without taking care of the county government affairs first. "Okay, I'm here."
I am here to act as a county magistrate and show you that my Yanshan is definitely an awesome Yanshan!"
When Fang Zhuo took office, he didn't do anything stupid. He summoned all the government officials and policemen and immediately set fire to the three fires that his new official took office. Of course, it was not just the three fires. For some government officials who were just messing around.
The police and the police were all gone within five days.
The system reform in the county government has changed beyond recognition. The first person to resign was the master. He was old and not suitable for such a high-intensity work. Faced with the master's resignation, Fang Zhuo did not hesitate, because the master left.
Previously, shopkeeper Zhang had sent a young man to take over. This young man was very interesting. From Fang Zhuan's perspective, he could tell at a glance that he was a woman disguised as a man. His fake beard tilted to one side when he spoke.
And when Fang Zhuo asked about the person behind Eunuch Liang that day, Shopkeeper Zhang seemed to find it difficult to speak, and looked at the new master. Fang Zhuo understood this instantly, "If Shopkeeper Zhang doesn't tell me, Feng can guess what will happen in the future."
Even so, it’s just that... you still need to make an appointment.”
Fang Zhuan is busy now, and he has to do everything by himself. There are still things being done in Feng Mansion, and planting in the fields has just begun. From time to time, Zhao Laosi comes to ask about this and that. To put it bluntly, that is
Come and ask for tools.
The county government retained six cadres, eight police officers, and one fake man, the master. After the organizational structure was adjusted, some government orders began to be issued, and each time an order was issued, there were three or five, one by one.
How slow? Let’s talk about how lonely one is. At this point, Fang Zhuo, as the county magistrate, hired ten literate people. Three of them stood at the three city gates with the most traffic, reading out new decrees every day, and one person stayed at the county government office.
The other two people took the new decree and took two detectives to read it in the county every day. The remaining two people took the new decree and took two detectives to each village to read it out.
After that, the village manager was asked to call the village chief. He had to recite the contents of the new decree. He could memorize an outline. The village chief who couldn't recite it three times would be punished. If he couldn't recite it three times, he would be replaced.
How can a person without memory lead good villagers to make a fortune?
If we want to manage Yanshan, which is impoverished and suffers from natural disasters and droughts for a long time, Fang Zhuo is destined to invest first. After fifteen days in office, Fang Zhuo finally asked his master's name. This was the only day Fang Zhuo had free time.
One day, Fang Zhuan moved the date unit "week" in the world to Yanshan, and gave one day off every seven days. Each of the police officers and the Yamen officials would leave one person on duty in turn, and the others would have a day off.
Perhaps because he had just started working and had no experience, the master actually came to the county government office during his break, and he also saw a different Fang Zhuo, wearing a big T-shirt, a pair of big pants, a pair of flip-flops, waving his arms, on the table
What is drawn.
The master's footsteps were very light. Fang Zhuo only knew that someone was coming. He didn't know it was the master at all. He didn't even look up. He continued to draw what he was about to do. The master looked at the side for a long time and said, "Magistrate Feng, what are you drawing?"
?”
"Uh... it's the master who is here, haha. I thought it was a few of them on duty. Why are they here during their break today?" Fang Zhuo stopped what he was doing when he saw that it was the fake man, the master.
"I haven't gotten used to it for a while. By the way, Magistrate Feng, the county government of Ling'an Country never seems to have a rest. This is an unexpected internal order of yours."
"It didn't happen before, but that doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. Besides, this internal order will also be announced to the outside world in the future. It's just that there are no suitable people outside, either those who are farming or doing business. I can only announce it to our own people."
"Oh, it turns out that I misunderstood Magistrate Feng." At this time, the master's voice suddenly changed into a female voice. Maybe the master himself didn't notice it.
"Girl, what's your name?"
"My name is...ah, so you already knew I was a woman?"
"Yes, I knew it on the first day you came here. Can't you see that I only asked you to write and not do anything else?"
"Hehe, Magistrate Feng is really nice, but...why do you still hire me as a master when you know I'm a woman?"
"Does Ling'an State stipulate that the master must be a man?" Fang Zhuo became serious at this time. Although the master was a woman, he was still obedient. No matter what he wanted to write, he never asked the reason and mentioned it without saying a word.
The pen writes. Fang Zhuan likes people who are obedient and immersed in doing things.
"It seems...it seems not!"
"That's good. I'm really worried about getting used to cooperating with you. If you ask me to change someone else, haha, you also know... I'm very lazy."
"Magistrate Feng is really good at joking. Ever since you became the magistrate, you have never been idle, right? Why are you so lazy?"
"Well... isn't this just the beginning? Everything is difficult at the beginning. If I don't work harder, this natural disaster has not caused a drop of rain so far. I don't know how many people will starve to death!"
"I, Ou Bu, my little girl Ruofan, would you like to ask Magistrate Feng, if it doesn't rain and the harvest is lost, how can the farmers avoid starving to death?"
"Your last name is Ruo?"
"Yes, yes! There are many people with the surname... Ruo, and you have to be from the royal family to be named Ruo. Don't get me wrong, Magistrate Feng."
"Oh, I don't misunderstand." Fang Zhuo said this, but he still recited the second half of the sentence silently in his heart, "It would be weird if you don't misunderstand!" At the beginning, he had suspected that the person standing behind General Manager Liang that day was the emperor's relative.
Brother, a few days later, shopkeeper Zhang sent this product and successfully took over the position of master. Shopkeeper Zhang mentioned before that the head of the Xinbao headquarters has a daughter, and then he said that the head of the Xinbu headquarters is the emperor's brother. This girl
Ba Cheng is the daughter of the head of the Xinjia family and the emperor's niece. Wow, what a relationship! Fang Zhuo completely sorted out the network of relationships. It sounds complicated, but there are only a few people in his mind. The royal family of Ling'an Kingdom is named Ruo.
"What is Magistrate Feng thinking? Is it difficult to answer the question I asked?" Ruofan looked at Fang Zhuan in a daze and thought he was thinking about the question she asked just now.
Regarding Ruofan's question, Fang Zhuo has already considered it. There will be no water shortage problem in the places along the river in Ling'an Country. There are many places where there are no rivers passing through them, such as Yanshan County. If it happens in the future,
The problem is that either many refugees are flocking to the capital, or they are flocking to places that can provide them with food. Along the mountains, there will be places for them to eat in the future, so Fang Zhuo is very busy now, and he must step up the management and construction of the mountains.
, there are a lot of things that need to be done in the future, and a large number of refugees are also needed to become laborers, who can be sent to your doorstep for free. Such opportunities are rare, so we must make good use of this drought year.
Regarding the doorway here, Fang Zhuan did not explain clearly to Ruofan, he just said: "You will know in the future!" These four words were full of mystery and temptation.
Ruofan came to Yanshan County because Yanshan County is close to the capital. He heard about the death of Yanshan County Magistrate Fu and the murder of Fu Magistrate's wife on the run. Such bizarre things attracted Ruofan's attention.
She pestered her father to come to Yanshan County, and then she got her wish. When she left the capital, she found out that no one else was appointed to be the county magistrate of Yanshan County. Instead, her father recommended a local person to be the county magistrate. It was so fun.
It was rare that Ruofan arrived in Yanshan and changed her mind and said she would stay and investigate the murder case of Magistrate Fu. She also wanted to help her father pay more attention to whether the new magistrate was suitable and could play a supervisory role. In case she
Her father's vision was biased, and he recommended the wrong person, but he could make up for it as soon as possible. After such arguments, her father agreed, and arranged many people in Yanshan County. The current guys in Xin escort, at first glance
There seemed to be more than a hundred of them. During the day, they wandered around the market pretending to be idlers, and at night they stayed in the courtyard arranged by the letter guards. These people were all protecting Ruofan.
If Ruofan stayed in Yanshan, the price was to write to her father frequently. In the first day or two, she wrote that Magistrate Feng was very weird and didn't act like a magistrate at all. After that, he told her everything
All the contents of the handwritten decree were sent to her father to read.
At first, her father's reply was to explain, 'I have just become a county magistrate and have no official experience. It is normal for you to find something wrong.' After seeing the dazzling array of government decrees, he only replied with two words, 'Continue!'
Today, Ruofan just received the two words "recovery" from her father, so she was so depressed that she forgot that it was a rest day, and ran to the county government office unknowingly. Now she heard Fang Zhuo say, "We will know in the future," how can that be done?
She still wanted to report to her father, but soon, Ruofan thought of another excuse. Since she didn't know it now, she had more reasons to stay in Yanshan County. Thinking of this, Ruofan smiled.
Fang Zhuo felt uncomfortable looking at him. This man was smiling strangely, and there must be something bad going on. So he immediately changed the subject, "By the way, since you are here, please help with something."
"Well, Magistrate Feng, please tell me, Ruofan, Oubu, the master will definitely do it." Ruofan said, returning to the tone of the master before. She was not ready to reveal her identity as a woman, so she had to remain a man.
'Master's tone.
"Post a job recruitment list, looking for cooks who can cook. We require people to be honest, not afraid of hardship, and willing to learn. They should be over fifteen years old and under thirty years old. Uh... let me change it, forty years old.
The following, so we can recruit some people."
"Okay!" Ruofan's advantage is that no matter what she writes, she will do it. Anyway, she can't understand what Fang Zhuo wants to do.
"Also, after you finish writing, call the police. Go and invite shopkeeper Zhang. I have something to discuss with shopkeeper Zhang." Fang Zhuo ordered Ruofan while drawing the picture, not treating her as the prince's daughter at all.
As soon as Ruofan left, Zhao Xi ran over, "Master, the water tower is completed. I just checked the concrete and it has dried completely. What should we do next?"
"Next step? You and the apprentices have been here for half a month. You have two days of rest. First go to Rong Rong... uh... young lady's place. Each of you will receive one tael of silver. You will receive three taels. Come to the county office early the day after tomorrow.
Report.”
"Master, I can't help it. I have food and drink in Feng Mansion and a brick house to live in. I can't take the master's money anymore."
"Uh... How many days have I not kicked you? Have you forgotten my temper?"
"Young ones don't dare!"
"Don't you dare? If you don't dare, just go get the money quickly, go home and rest for two days, and come to the county government office the day after tomorrow! Come with them too! Oh, by the way, don't spend the money randomly, take it back to your family!"
"Thank you, Master!"
When Zhao Xi saw Fang Zhuan's expression, he knew that he would be kicked out if he kept talking, so he ran away. Fang Zhuo always had one with him, so he could contact people in Feng Mansion at any time.
Chapter completed!
