Chapter 583: Magistrate takes office and sleeps on the streets
Finally, Li Guangqing finally understood that things like being full of guests were just deception.
As for why these inns do this, is there any explanation other than Shen's Mansion?
Although the Shen Mansion has been in control of Lianli City for a short time, it has deep roots. It seems that this time Geng Wang will have trouble.
Reluctantly, Geng Wang searched all over Lianli City but could not enter any inn.
Therefore, on the first day after taking office, Mr. Geng slept in the open air within his own jurisdiction. This is a rare memory.
However, Geng Wang didn't know that now was just the beginning.
In the early morning of the next day, the group woke up from the nightmare. After having some simple breakfast, Geng Wang did not go to Shen's Mansion again because he also understood that even if he went there again, he would have to touch it again. Nails mean nothing at all.
In this case, let’s talk about taking office first!
However, if you want to take office, you always need to find a county government office first.
However, when Lianli City was originally renovated, no county government office was built at all.
"Why!"
Li Guangqing sighed with a headache. He really regretted coming.
Nowadays, the dignified county magistrate and official doctor don't even have a place to stay in Liancheng.
Taking office?
What kind of job is this?
It's a complete joke.
"Why don't we find a place to settle down first and then recruit some people.
As for the rest, we can only wait until it is sorted out."
Li Guangqing said helplessly.
Although Geng Wang was unwilling, he could only nod his head.
Immediately, he asked several relatives to go find a house to temporarily use as the county government office.
After waiting for half a day, these personal followers came back one by one.
However, it did not bring any good news to Geng Wang and others at all.
"Sir, the houses in this city that have owners will basically not be sold, and the ones that don't have owners... are all belonging to Shen's house.
Therefore, if you want to find a house, you may have to buy or rent it from the Shen Mansion."
All the houses in the city were built after Shen Tang came. On weekdays, most of them were rented to businessmen who came and went, and some were sold directly.
Therefore, it is not easy for Geng Wang and others to find a suitable place at this time.
"boom!"
In anger, Geng Wang directly kicked over the chair beside him, "This damn Shen Mansion, huh, go find someone else to buy it for me. No matter how much it costs, I don't believe it. This Shen Mansion can still take me from Lianli City." Can’t we drive him out?”
In the Shen Mansion, after the girls had breakfast, Liu Xiangling stopped Zhao Ling who was about to leave.
"Ling'er!"
"What's the matter, sister!"
"Those people are after all ministers of the imperial court, and they are here under the orders of the emperor. If they do too much, it will be difficult to deal with them in the future.
Let them suffer a little and forget it."
Liu Xiangling said slowly.
Zhao Ling thought he was doing it secretly, but how could he hide it from Liu Xiangling and the other girls?
It's just that they didn't have a good impression of these people in their hearts, so they just let Zhao Ling do what he did.
Although she was not afraid of these people, Liu Xiangling did not want to cause any trouble to her husband.
Especially since these people came with an imperial edict, if they were used by someone with intentions, it would be a huge crime.
So, now that I have vented my anger, I simply don’t pay attention to them. Moreover, even if I don’t pay attention to them, can I control Lianli City with those people?
Hard work paid off. Thanks to Liu Xiangling's kindness, Geng Wang and others finally did not sleep on the street again the next day.
However, they also spent a full fifty thousand taels of silver to buy a small yard from a merchant.
There is no way, most of the people who can buy shops or courtyards here are well-qualified businessmen, and these people basically will not stay in Lianli City in person, but will just let the shopkeeper sit in charge.
And how could a shopkeeper easily sell his owner's house?
Almost all of the remaining buildings that are leased or unsold are in the hands of the Shen Mansion.
Therefore, Geng Wang really doesn’t have many choices.
However, he didn't know that even this small courtyard was sold to him by someone from the Shen Mansion.
Looking at the small courtyard with only a few rooms and an area of less than a square meter, Geng Wang almost wanted to cry without tears. He came to be an official to make a fortune, but he didn't expect that before he made any money, he actually took a taxi first. Pen goes in.
Fortunately, he has some qualifications, otherwise, I really don't know what to do in this industry.
Could it be that they could really go to Chengdu Mansion to convey the decree to Shen Tang?
No matter what, I finally have a place to stay!
Seeing Geng Wang settling down, Li Guangqing directly threw the imperial edict of appointment to Geng Wang, and took the man with oil on his soles and returned to Lin'an to resume his life.
He had almost foreseen the outcome of this desperate situation, so naturally he was not in the mood to stay here any longer.
Moreover, he finally understood that taking office in Lianli City was not like other cities. It would be extremely difficult to develop everything here.
Even if a capable official comes, there is absolutely no confidence, let alone Geng Wang's stick?
After Li Guangqing left, Geng Wang was not discouraged.
After all, he is also the magistrate of the county personally appointed by the emperor. What does it mean to be a Shen Mansion?
Looking at the servants and personal entourage who followed him, Geng Wang decided that he must first make a public announcement to calm the people and let the people and merchants of Lianli City know that he, the county magistrate, had taken office. From now on, this was his own world, not Shen's. The world is over.
In addition, he is naturally not qualified to recruit major officials such as chief registrars and county magistrates. Moreover, the imperial court has also begun to select people, and they will be able to take office in a short time. However, because this Lianli City is completely blank, so, However, he, the county magistrate, can recruit other personnel such as miscellaneous officials and police officers on his own.
This can be regarded as a benefit given to him by the court!
Although Geng Wang is a stick, he is not a fool. The people he brought here are indeed his confidants, and they can also be used for some purposes.
However, that's all. In fact, these people don't even know a few Chinese characters, so even if he wanted to use it, there was nothing he could do.
Therefore, the first thing he needs to do is to recruit some people to work for him. Once he has the manpower, he will slowly deploy his manpower to various places in Lienli City. Soon, Lienli City will be Under your control.
"Go, post all these articles, and make sure that all the people can see them!"
He didn't even have a scribe, so even if he had to write the list, he had to do it himself.
All the followers nodded, and then, these posters were quickly posted on the streets and alleys of Lianli City.
