It continued to rain a little snow.
The road surface was moist and moist, and the rain and snow were confused in the sky, with a certain charm fluttering.
Lai Tongyu walked in the front, holding an umbrella, and there was a boy underneath. He even covered most of his head, only half of his face was revealed, and he couldn't see clearly.
A woman followed behind her, and half of her body was covered with an umbrella, and a girl was followed below.
As we moved forward, the smoke gradually became richer, the sound of water came, and the pier arrived.
As soon as I passed, I saw Wang Shoutian.
Lai Tongyu stepped forward and bowed deeply: "Lord."
"No need to be polite, get on the boat!" Wang Shoutian waved his hand and said.
The group got on the boat, and the boat just clicked and slid out. When they saw a group of people running over on the dock, shouting: "Your boat, stop quickly."
The woman's face changed and she was a little frightened.
Wang Shoutian didn't even look at it, and said instructed: "Shang the sail!"
Suddenly the sails rose and the ship was moving quickly.
With a "bang", an arrow shot into the air, almost reaching the bow of the ship, the arrow had already run out and fell down.
Wang Shoutian was furious, glanced at him and asked, "Who is this boy?"
"Ling Jie, the son of the tooth general Ling Ce."
"Hmph!" Wang Shoutian sneered, without saying a word, and the ship quickly left.
It took some time for the ship to start, and even if these people immediately grabbed the ship, they would not be able to catch up.
Although it was the dry season and the water flowed smoothly, under the superb skills, the boat was as flexible as a fish and kept moving towards the distance.
After five miles away, she could no longer see the dock. Lai Tongyu kowtowed to Wang Shoutian and saluted: "Thank you lord."
The rain and snow became heavier, and later it was heavy rain.
Fortunately, the waves on the river are not very big, and the boat can bear them.
The boatman and his wife baked a large pot of hot steamed buns for Chinese food. Of course, this large pot of steamed buns was wiped out.
Time gradually passed, and the rain stopped in the afternoon, and the ash clouds in the sky were densely stacked together, so everyone felt at ease.
Lai Tongyu and Wang Shoutian were talking in the cabin.
At this time, Wang Shoutian looked at Lai Tongyu carefully, and saw that the clouds on the top of the man were dark, but he didn't care.
Wang Shoutian carefully introduced the situation in Jishui County and said, "Now there are about 700 households in the county, and 300 households can raise up to 1,000 households and officially establish a county."
"Although the grade is only in the lower county, I can also serve as the magistrate of the seventh-rank county, and I will be the chief secretary and the six ministers."
"Main thin hall?"
"That is, the master is in the middle and coordinates the documents. He also set up six officials of the household, law, military, official, and warehouse, and are both the ninth rank, to manage the affairs of the county."
According to Wang Shoutian's idea, this main pole hall is actually the future cabinet. Only when he was an official, Wang Shoutian clearly understood why the main pole should be set as the ninth rank.
If the magistrate is an eighth rank, he often participates in the secret matters, is in charge of the affairs of the county, and has the power to pick and supervise the behavior of officials in the county, so he will become the only minister and put the power of the county magistrate under the power.
Only when the rank is not high and one has to rely on the county magistrate to control the government and make the power always in the hands of the county magistrate.
The county government is divided into three levels. The first is the "signing room" of the county magistrate's office. The signing is the abbreviation of the signature and seal. This is the place where the county magistrate handles official documents and is not allowed to be ordered. Even the two chief officials, the county magistrate and the chief clerk, are not allowed to enter, similar to the emperor's inner court.
Outside, there were also county magistrates and county magistrates of the second-level eighth rank.
The county magistrate serves as the county magistrate. In fact, it is similar to the emperor and the crown prince. Once something happens, the county magistrate will succeed him to the throne. However, because of this, it is usually because of this that he will not care about the matter in order to avoid suspicion.
The county magistrate is equivalent to the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty. He is in charge of the military system of a county. This is often a false reputation in peacetime, but Wang Shoutian is preparing to establish it and is responsible for training new recruits.
Below are the six Caoshu, the law Cao, the military Cao, the official Cao, and the Cang Cao Cao, which are also called "Six Rooms". These are actually the six departments of the court.
Outside, there are yamen teams. In addition, there are prisons, prisons, often closed warehouses, horse numbers, and officials. But although the sparrows are small, they are all complete.
Wang Shoutian was thinking about enriching these things. If the county government is truly established completely, it would be actually a core team.
Wang Shoutian said lightly, but Lai Tongyu felt a stern heart.
"Mr. Lai will first serve as an official in the county and be familiar with all matters in the county. When the county is full of thousands of households, I can also report to the general and promote Mr. Lai to one of the six departments. How about it?"
After hearing this, Lai Tongyu kowtowed and said, "Lord, I will devote myself to my orders and serve you to die!"
As soon as he said this, Wang Shoutian felt the movement of the golden seal on his head, and the white air in the jade seal was rapidly decreasing.
And Lai Tongyu, who was kneeling opposite, gradually disappeared, and white air filled the top.
Originally, a ruling official didn't have much energy, but then he saw that his top was like a bottomless pit, constantly absorbing white air, and the white air that was originally filled with jade seal was half smaller in a moment.
Wang Shoutian couldn't help but be secretly shocked. Why did this happen?
Just when the white gas was less than halfway, the absorption of the white gas finally slowed down. Wang Shoutian couldn't help but change his face, and the gray gas disappeared and a trace of golden gas was generated.
"Hey, it looks like the natal being, and a little different... Is this the aura of protection from ancestors?" Wang Shoutian was shocked and found that not only did the dark clouds dissipate, but a trace of golden aura also oozed out of his official seal, but it was the energy that Lai Tongyu had loyalty.
At this time, the white air in the golden seal was only one-third, but it was permeated with golden yellow, which made Wang Shoutian very happy.
And at this time, the white air that was originally spreading outside sometimes disappeared, and it continued to penetrate and replenish into the golden seal.
The title of the monarch and minister has been decided, and this matter has been done. Wang Shoutian said again: "This time I went out and found two talents. It will take some time to return to the county, but I have to work hard to stay on the boat together."
"Lord, I should have been worried about it. What's the point of being on the boat? Besides, when I was given a chamber of commerce, I was busy with business and now I am just in time for cultivation. I don't have to mind," said Lai Tongyu.
Wang Shoutian nodded, looked at the sky, got up in a hurry, and ordered the dinner to be prepared.
When the king and his subjects have a fight, even if they are on the boat, they will have to set up a simple banquet, but there are everything on the boat and they are ready.
The main dish was a pot of fish soup, with mushrooms in it, and I bought some slices of meat and cut them into a pot. There was not much time. The fish soup was milky white and the strong fragrance filled the cabin.
The two of them savored leisurely, talking from time to time.
At this time, the dark sky was hit by raindrops, and you could feel the cold feeling coming and spreading to your body without wetting it.
Even so, the personal soldiers were still wary of patrol. Sometimes a flash of light was shining, but the light was shining with the sword.
The heavy rain continued to fall, and in a blink of an eye, the river water surged, and the turbid water flowed into vortex. Tomorrow morning, the ship approached the destination again.
"This is Yanshan County."
The county cannot compare with the capital city. The pier is also loose and scattered. There are only a few boats leaning against the side, and no one even checks or collects taxes.
Seeing this, Wang Shoutian frowned and said instructed: "Save a few people on the boat. If you need it, you can buy it and don't go out too much."
"As for order!" The personal soldiers agreed naturally.
When I arrived in the county town, I saw a duck. Lai Tongyu saw that his lord had the intention to buy it. He was afraid that the duck would not be fat, so he went up and poked it with his hands. He found that the meat on the jelly was thick, so he bought it.
I bought another ten kilograms of meat, two chickens, one fish, and some vegetables. The soldiers asked me to take it first, and finally bought five baskets of meat steamed buns, and some dried bamboo shoots, salt, chestnuts, chickens and melons, which I thought it was a thing to drink.
Lai Tongyu was surprised and asked, "What is the purpose of lord?"
"I am looking for a person who lives in the land temple ten miles away from the county. I just waited there to see him, so I naturally have to buy some to cook together." As he said that, he also bought some wine.
All the way out of the county town, they went there. Sure enough, after searching for a while, they found a land temple. This land temple was already deserted and there were no temple blessings.
Wang Shoutian asked someone to clean up and make a fire. He searched for it in the back. Sure enough, he found some pots and immediately handed them over to his personal soldiers to clean up.
After removing the old candles accumulated by the dust, Wang Shoutian lit some incense and cleaned it up.
Seeing this, Lai Tongyu was amazed: "Why is the lord doing this?"
At this moment, a young man in clothes was dressed with patches, carrying a pheasant and singing a song. He came in as if no one else was around. Seeing so many people in the temple, he was shocked and looked at it, saying, "Oh, you passers-by don't have to live here. You will be able to walk ten miles to the county town."
Wang Shoutian laughed and said, "So that's it, but I'll live there. This brother, meeting is fate. You come up and have a good meal with us."
The young man was overjoyed and said, "I have thought of it so much."
Throw the pheasant in his hand and sit on it.
At that time, I put on wine, a whole duck, a pot of mixed stew, and a large plate of white meat, all of them were brought up.
The three of them poured wine first and started eating and drinking together.
"We have drunk, but I don't know what your surname is." Wang Shoutian asked.
The young man did not refuse and said with a smile: "My name is Chai Jia, my parents died early, only my brother and aunt."
Wang Shoutian looked at it intently and saw that this person was probably eighteen or nineteen years old now. Although his clothes were patched, he was also very heroic, and he was covered with a red and yellow aura, and he had some luck.
Knowing that this person is coming soon, even if he doesn't come, this person will have the chance to make a name for himself.
After drinking a few places, Wang Shoutian laughed: "Why do you have to live in the countryside like Brother Chai? Meeting is fate. Why do you want to go with me?"
Chai Jia picked up the bowl, drank with his head raised, and then sneered: "Now my feet are revealed. As soon as I come in, I know that you are not an ordinary businessman."
