Chapter 574 of the main text of Ruyi Little Man: This is not okay! Tang Ning had a very good impression of the governor of Quzhou, but she did not expect that he was actually a comrade in the organization.
Along the way, he battled wits and courage with local officials in the south of the Yangtze River. From the governor to the county magistrate, every one of them regarded him as the God of Plague. They would avoid him if they could, and hide if they could. He would even encounter him in normal exams.
There are many obstacles, let alone trying to find out the rebel forces.
Having a trustworthy teammate can save you a lot of trouble and detours.
Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Did Governor Sun find out anything?"
"It's a very important matter. I'm worried about showing off my flaws, so I haven't acted rashly." Governor Sun looked at him and said, "However, in the past two months, I have found some clues through open and covert inspections. Those rebels are very serious."
It may be related to the Zhu family in Quzhou."
"Wish the family"
"Master Tang is not from Jiangnan, and he doesn't know much about the situation in Jiangnan or Quzhou." Governor Sun explained: "Although the east road of Jiangnan is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, the local family forces in various states are intertwined and extremely large, and the local officials either dare not fight with them.
To compete, or have been recruited by them, the Quzhou Zhu family is one of the three major families that actually controls Quzhou."
Tang Ning didn't know much about the situation in Jiangnan before, but this time she went to Jiangnan and had done enough homework beforehand.
Jiangnan East Road is the richest place in the Chen Kingdom, but the imperial court's control over it is limited. Jiangnan's wealthy families have been here for hundreds of years, and their control over the local people is even greater than that of the government.
With the influence their family has accumulated among the people for hundreds of years, they can easily incite the people and provoke civil uprisings. What local officials fear most is civil uprisings. Once such an incident occurs in the local area, the official career of local officials will almost be over.
That's it.
There was no civil uprising in Quzhou, but some people spread words that incited the people to rebel, and the place where the incident occurred was within the sphere of influence of the Zhu family in Quzhou.
Since there is a problem in Quzhou, Tangning naturally can't leave here so quickly.
After Quzhou Governor finished speaking, Tang Ning nodded and said, "I have a general understanding of the situation. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Sun."
The governor of Quzhou sighed: "As long as Quzhou can be stable, no matter how hard I work, it will be worth it."
Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Master Sun just said that the magistrate of Dingyang County is from the Zhu family."
The governor of Quzhou said: "Yes, not long after the Dingyang County magistrate came to Quzhou, he was recruited by the Zhu family. The local officials in Jiangnan have almost been divided up by the major families. If they go against the local officials, they will not be able to move forward at all..."
Tangning nodded and said, "Then let's start from Dingyang County."
Dingyang County is the largest of the five counties in Quzhou, and it is also where the state capital is located. In the past, Tang Ning would only send two Zhang Gu to visit this kind of county-level government office, but today he went there in person.
Dingyang County Government had prepared everything a long time ago. When Tang Ning arrived at the County Government Office with two officials, Xu Qingyang, Zhang Yansheng and a man were already waiting outside.
The Dingyang County Magistrate came forward and said, "Dingyang County Magistrate, I would like to greet you all the officials."
Tang Ning glanced at Gongsun Ying beside her. Gongsun Ying shook his head, indicating that the Dingyang County Magistrate showed no signs of being controlled by the Gu.
The chaos in the south of the Yangtze River was most likely caused by King Qian of the Liang Kingdom. Gongsun Ying and Bai Jin knew voodoos and were used to using them to control others. The voodoo masters around King Qian would only become more powerful.
After the Dingyang County Magistrate finished speaking, he looked back, frowned, and scolded: "Xu County Cheng, Zhang County Lieutenant, what's going on with you two? You haven't seen the adults from the official department!"
Tang Ning knew that Xu Qingyang and Zhang Yansheng, two foreigners, were not doing well in Dingyang, but she never expected that the Dingyang County Magistrate could reprimand them like this in front of officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
When Xu Qingyang and Zhang Yansheng heard this, they could only cup their hands and said, "I have met you all, sir."
Tang Ning looked at them and smiled: "Brother Xu, Brother Zhang, you're welcome, just call me the same as before."
The expression on the Dingyang County Magistrate's face was stagnant. He looked at Tang Ning and Xu County Chief Zhang County Lieutenant, and his heart skipped a beat.
Do they know each other?
He just wanted to show his prestige in front of the officials and show how much he valued these officials. If the three of them had known each other for a long time, his flattery would have hit the horse's leg.
He looked at Tang Ning and asked tentatively: "Master Tang used to know Xu Xian Cheng and Zhang Xian Wei."
"Of course we know each other." Tang Ning nodded and said, "Xu County Cheng and Zhang County Lieutenant and I are students from the same state, and we were also Jinshi in the same year."
The Dingyang County Magistrate secretly thought that something was wrong. For officials, the friendship between people of the same age is usually not shallow. These people often support and help each other in the court. I wonder if what he just did will cause trouble.
Here comes the dissatisfaction of Mr. Tang from the official department...
After thinking about it carefully, he felt a little relieved. What he had just done was not too excessive. After all, Mr. Tang was a Beijing official, a fourth-rank official, and he should not be so small-minded...
Speaking of which, Xu Xian Cheng and Zhang Xian Wei were both Jinshis three years ago. In other words, this Tang Master entered the officialdom only three years ago, and he reached the fourth rank in three years. This is simply unheard of. He
I highly doubt the authenticity of the three of them being Jinshi in the same year...
He looked at Tang Ning, with a dry smile on his face, and said, "I didn't expect that Master Tang and Master Xu and Master Zhang are actually the same age. What a coincidence... Sirs, please stop standing outside and invite us inside."
Dingyang County has prepared all the materials required for the official examination. Many of the standards set by the official department are clearly written in black and white, including case numbers, population growth figures, taxation, etc...
The Dingyang County Magistrate is not too nervous about this assessment. The number of cases in Dingyang County last year was reduced compared to previous years, the population has increased, the tax revenue is clean, and there are no major flaws in education. There is no need to worry about the assessment results.
, unless the officials deliberately make things difficult for him.
But why would the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs give him a hard time? They had no grievances. He only reprimanded the deputy minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs for a few words of the same year. It was unlikely that he would deliberately target him because of this matter...
Tang Ning opened the household booklet, looked at it, shook her head and said: "The household registration management is in chaos, Magistrate Wu, this can't be done..."
He looked at Zhang Gu behind him and said, "Give me a 'Xia Zhong'."
The results of the official assessment are divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. Each level is further divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. "Lower Middle" is the eighth level, which is only slightly better than the worst "Xiaxia".
If the assessment is below "middle-middle", he has failed, and may be demoted or dismissed. One of the assessments is "lower-middle". His position as Dingyang County Magistrate must be unsettled.
The Dingyang County Magistrate's face turned pale and he pursed his lips. Tangning had already opened a new volume and continued to shake her head: "This can't be done. The security in Dingyang County is still a bit bad. For Brother Zhang's sake,
Top, let’s give it “middle or bottom”…”
Zhang Yansheng was startled and said, "Brother Tang, just do things impartially, don't take me into consideration."
"Since Brother Zhang said so..." Tangning looked at the palm and said, "Then let's change it to "Xiaozhong"."
The Dingyang County Magistrate stood there in a daze. This high-ranking official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs could just make random assessments, but he actually had to change the conclusions he had already made. He had no principles at all...
What made it even more difficult for him to understand was how he had offended him and why he was so targeted...
