The officials in this world are similar to those in the history of the Xia Kingdom. They are all low-ranking and have considerable power. For example, Lu Lianbin is the official in charge of the specific affairs of the government jail, which is commonly known as the prison head.
Although the official is not an official, he is not a servant. If the people are put above the people, he is an official. However, in the government, he is an official under the minority officials. He is in charge of the robbery and the history of the prison.
The jurisdiction is nominally the same as the clerks and other clerks in the Sixth Room, and in fact the status is slightly lower than that of the clerks in the Sixth Room. Because clerks are civil servants no matter how they say they are, while clerks are military officials.
Therefore, the dictionary is different from the dictionary. Although the latter is just a miscellaneous official, it is also selected by the Ministry of Personnel and appointed by the emperor. It is a "official official" who is appointed by the court.
The dictionary is commonly known as "Siye" among the people, and is privately called "Four Masters" by the county yard, which means that the status is only below the magistrate, county magistrate, and chief clerk. When the above three are not in the yamen, there are
Officials qualified to be trialed.
And in this Demon City Government Office, there are more officials and bigger ones, and the status of Dianshi is not as prominent as that of the county government office.
Of course, Lu Lianbin understood what his boss said was so powerful. In fact, he was to suppress himself first and then raise himself, giving him a chance to excuse himself. In addition, he also cooperated with the prefect to act, so he immediately complained about his own difficulties and the strength of his enemies.
Reported it over.
The officials looked very ugly after hearing this.
After the Dianshi had finished singing the white-faced, it was naturally the prefect's turn to sing the red-faced.
Their prefect, who is mediocre in all aspects, seems to have a lot of skill trees in official articles, and is very capable of beating the superiors and bullying the inferiors and doing superficial articles. Otherwise, they would not have caught the court that year.
When he was good at Westernization, he went from being a juren to his current position as a magistrate of the Demon City and a fourth-rank Taoist rank in just a few years.
Sure enough, the prefect encouraged Lu Lianbin and the prison guards as soon as he spoke. After all, these people had really fought with the enemy, and they were almost injured, and they had no credit and worked hard.
Then he scolded the yamen runners and the people who were killed and robbed were useless.
Especially the leader of Minzhuang was scolded almost to the point of being scolded.
"Damn it, you guys still dare to call them elite?"
"I was touched into the barracks and broke the muskets. I realized that if you don't have that foreign instructor, you won't be able to fight?"
"It's really a mud that can't be supported on the wall. If there is any negligence, I will go home and dig food for me!"
It’s not that the prefect was angry. It was really that more than 100 foreign guns were bought from foreigners for a large price. It costs more than 30 taels of silver per shot. Although I knew that the foreigners were deliberately raising the price, I had no choice but to collude with the foreigners.
There was no competition for each other to suppress the price, so the prefect could only accept it with his nose. Fortunately, it was not his own money, and the arms expenses were paid out from local taxes and donations from gentry and merchants.
Now that more than a hundred broken poles are still not possible, the craftsmen in the government office cannot repair them, so they have to spend a lot of money to find foreigners to repair them. This money needs to be paid out by the government office.
Fortunately, there were only more than 100 people stationed in the government office, and more than 800 other Minzhuang were stationed in the military camp, otherwise he, the prefect, would have felt so distressed.
After the official asked, Master Ning, who was standing there, asked Lu Lianbin with concern:
"Brother Lu, you have really lost your bad luck and suffered an unpredictable disaster. Are those thieves really so powerful?"
Lu Lianbin looked at his subordinates behind him and shook his head and said:
"It seems not as good as you and me alone, but these bandits and the magician who has not shown up, have at least ten people, and there are some strange means, namely you and me, and the famous family, Brother Wu, who has not shown up.
If you come together, it is probably difficult to stay a few."
When everyone present changed their expressions when they heard Lu Lianbin say so seriously.
The three masters are recognized by the government office, and even they can't take them. How can the others do it?
Although these adults are not good at doing things for the people, they are very clear about their own lives.
Not only are there many such bandits, but there are also magical warriors and demons. If they are iron-core traitors like Long Hair White Lotus, and if they do any bigger actions in their demon city, it will be a disaster!
When the court held accountable, no one present could get it. The loss of office and job losses were the best result...
Master Tongzhi said worriedly:
"What should I do if the thief is arrogant?"
This demon city Tongzhi was originally just a local county magistrate, and he was not an imperial examination. Instead, his father, who was a businessman, paved the way for him. He first spent money to go to the Imperial College to buy a prison student status, and then worked hard to become a county magistrate and a county magistrate.
.
He spent a lot of money to be promoted to this place. Now he has not been in this fat man for two years. The money he used to clear is not recovered. If he lost his official position because of the crime, the money would be a compensation
Now?
The difference between the fool Tongzhi on the side is the Master Tongzong. This Master Tongzong has always been very Buddhist and seems to have not understood the situation. He sat there half open his eyes and was confused like a clay sculpture.
I don't know if it's really stupid or pretending to be stupid.
The two Tongzhi and Tongzhi are the assistants of the prefect, and if they have such an assistant, the situation of the prefect can be imagined.
However, as a master, Ning Jinsheng couldn't help but pay more attention to those people after hearing Lu Lianbin's words.
He knew that the character of Lu Dian official was always disdainful of exaggeration, and the other party was not in the officialdom, otherwise he would not have just served as a Jie Dian official. After the prefect and others proposed promotions several times, they refused.
"In this way, these bandits are a remarkable group of people!"
Hearing his master say this, the prefect looked bitter and said:
"Mr. Ning, I think that since I took office in the Demon Capital, I have worked diligently. In order to appease the people and reimburse the court, how could I have encountered these hardships? The fact that foreigners threatened the court before has not been resolved, and now the incident of this bandit has arisen again.
, What should I do?"
Master Ning obviously knew his boss's temperament very well, bowed and smiled:
"Haha, Lord Fu Zun has filtered it. In fact, this matter is easy to solve. Whether it is the problem of foreigners or the case of this bandit, Lord Fu Zun, you are responsible. The governor next door is both your boss and you are a five-year-old.
Isn’t the minister of esports and trade responsibility greater?”
When the prefect heard this, his eyes lit up and he knew that his master had a solution.
He quickly said, "Sir, are you saying..."
Ning Jinsheng compliments that he did not take credit for:
"My lord is indeed quick-witted. Although this foreigner's incident happened in our government office, for the court, isn't he the Governor's Office responsible for all the Westernization affairs? If something happens, even if the Governor takes the blame for the crime, the Governor's Office will be held responsible for all the Westernization affairs?
They were all pushed to the head of the Mansion Master, would he be li Hefei lose his responsibility?"
In addition to the word "动" in the feudal officialdom, he was also used to calling some officials by his background and nicknames. The Governor of Liangjiang was from Hefei, so he was called "Li Hefei" after his power began.
Just like Zhang Juzheng, a famous minister of the Ming Dynasty, was from Jiangling, northern Chu, and was called "Zhang Jiangling".
"Master Zun of the Mansion has worked hard to upgrade this Demon City County to the Demon City Mansion, and is willing to defeat the rebels and thieves several times to rebels and rebels, and formed a siege of the Demon City. Such contributions are even to the Empress Dowagers of the Two Palaces and the
The emperor also knew it. Now, the matters negotiated with foreigners are all sponsored by you. Li Hefei is dedicated to compiling his Huai Army. You have put such great efforts in his duties. Now
Even demons are difficult. If the Liangjiang Governor's Office does not contribute to their efforts, how should the people in the world view it?"
The prefect slapped his thighs and praised his contributions regardless of whether it was true or not:
"That's right, this demon city was upgraded from a county town to a mansion during my tenure! I thought I had experienced three wars in the past five years, and personally led the foreign gun team and Minzhuang to repel the two long-haired sieges of the Heavenly Kingdom, and the little knife club.
Didn’t Li Shaoquan, who relied on following the Hunan Army to get some credit for his rebellion, and established the so-called Huai Army? Wu Sansheng is also a great contributor to the court. Why should I take him blame?"
The prefect became more and more proud the more he spoke, as if he had thought of this trick.
"No, I want to send a letter to Jiangning immediately. He, Li Shaoquan, must send me ten or eight masters to help! There is also the Huai Army's foreign gun team, at least I must be able to suppress the number of foreigners in the concession...
”
As a master, Ning Jinsheng of course waited for the writing and drafted a letter for the prefect, and then was responsible for arranging the delivery matters.
In fact, when the master left the prefect's sight and was not paying attention, he climbed over the wall from the side of the government office and was about to secretly inform some people.
