After Lin Ze subdued Wu Fan, he gave him the first task, which was to send a message to his two ministers and ten thousand households to come over and direct the envoys to discuss matters.
Of course, Wu Fan was not asked to convey the news with empty words. Instead, he wrote twelve identical letters, stamped with the commander's seal, and asked him to be responsible for delivering them to those people.
He first changed into the official uniform of the commander, with a golden waistband hanging around his waist representing the identity of the commander.
Then he inspected his "office" and found that there were still more than 20 civilian-like subordinate officials busy in the commander's office.
Some are sorting out some matters that cannot be decided by thousands of households, classifying them and waiting for the commander to deal with them.
Some organize and archive some cases within their jurisdiction and keep the secondary files themselves, while the main files are sent to the Intelligence Department.
There were also a few who purely took care of Lin Ze's daily life, such as arranging carriages, delivering letters, arranging meals for him, etc.
Lin Ze suddenly felt that being an official felt quite good.
An hour later, the first thousand households arrived and saluted Lin Ze: "My subordinate Zhang Zhao pays homage to Mr. Lin."
Lin Ze smiled and replied: "Zhang Qianhu is exempt from the gift."
After Zhang Qianhu stood up, he felt a little shocked. This new Mr. Lin was too young. Could he be able to control it? Should he?
Then he suddenly thought of something, no, at such an age, exuding a pure aura of the fourth level of martial arts, and being able to sit in this position, it must be extraordinary, so he should wait and see what happens.
Lin Ze didn't know that Zhang Qianhu had already thought so much when he saw him, but if he remembered correctly, Wu Fan's original immediate boss was Zhang Qianhu.
Lin Ze couldn't help but think: Wu Fan was quite thoughtful. He first asked Zhang Qianhu to come and meet with him alone so that he could ask for someone, lest Zhang Qianhu might get confused and refuse to agree later in full view of the public.
, things got serious.
Lin Ze has always liked smart subordinates who can save him a lot of trouble, so he happily said: "Does Zhang Qianhu have a Baihu named Wu Fan under him?"
Zhang Qianhu immediately replied: "Your Excellency, there is indeed a hundred households under my command named Wu Fan. Didn't I send him out to deliver the message?"
Lin Ze nodded and said: "I think he is doing a good job. It just so happens that I have just arrived and I am short of people under my command. I wonder if Zhang Qianhu can give up his love?"
Zhang Qianhu immediately agreed: "I will tell him later, and I will obey your orders from now on."
Zhang Qianhu is very happy to see this happen. For no other reason, his nephew Zhang Xiang has been practicing in the sect for ten years and is now considered a minor in martial arts. His eldest brother and father are counting on him to help his nephew find a job.
What a good job, just in time.
Lin Ze was also very satisfied with Zhang Qianhu's "knowledge". He stretched out his hand and waved: "Zhang Qianhu, let's sit and chat. Come and bring some tea and snacks."
Zhang Qianhu bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, sir, for giving me a seat."
Lin Ze then asked some questions about what Zhang Qianhu usually does.
Zhang Qianhu also knew everything and told Lin Ze that he monitored all the happenings in Xicheng. Once something happened, he would control the scene as soon as possible and report it. He was a typical person who did his job well.
People like Zhang Qianhu belong to the majority. After all, not everyone is like Hu Hai, who has an unparalleled good father, nor is everyone like Lin Ze, who is protected by a master who can reach the sky.
Then several thousand households came one after another. After bowing to Lin Ze, they all expressed surprise. However, fortunately, they were all old people who had been in the officialdom for many years. Although they had ideas, they refused to show them easily.
, maintain a wait-and-see attitude.
Because for them, even if no one comes to be the commander, it will not be their turn. Firstly, their martial arts cultivation is not enough, and secondly, there are two mountains pressing on their heads, so it will not be their turn.
Less than half an hour after Zhang Qianhu came in, all ten Qianhu people had arrived, but the two ministers had not moved yet.
Lin Ze's expression didn't change at all, and he chatted calmly and calmly with thousands of households, asking some questions. These households were relatively easy to talk to, and almost always answered their questions.
After another half an hour, Wu Fan walked in with a bad look on his face, knelt down and saluted Lin Ze and said, "I'm telling you, sir, I sent a letter to the two ministers. They both said they had too much work on their hands and couldn't come to see him.
Sir, please punish me if you do something bad."
Lin Ze just smiled and said, "Get up. I'm not too old to be blind. I'm going to punish you. If they don't come, forget it. I'll talk to each household first."
Thousands of households watched, and their thoughts began to sink in. This new adult didn't seem to be tough. He seemed to be lacking in strength and lacked the confidence to speak.
Lin Zeke didn't care what others were thinking and continued: "I will write another letter. You tell them that no matter what, I must see them today, otherwise I will bear the consequences."
The minds of thousands of families fell silent again. It seems that this gentleman is not a fuel-efficient lamp. It is better to wait and see what happens.
Lin Ze didn't chat with them for too long. After understanding everyone's responsibilities and jurisdiction, he let them go down and get busy.
There are three things a new official should do when he takes office, and Lin Ze plans to touch them first and then burn them.
Lin Ze's second letter was quickly released.
Half an hour later, there was still no response.
Lin Ze didn't panic and sent out a third letter, each one stamped with the commander's seal.
Finally, in the evening, the Commander-in-Chief Ai Hui arrived. As soon as he arrived, he immediately ran to Lin Ze and saluted: "My subordinate Ai Hui pays homage to the Commander-in-Chief. I am late, please forgive me."
Lin Ze just nodded: "Ai Qian was busy with matters and could not come over in time. I understand. After all, it is the right time to come over."
Ai Hui's face turned red: "Thank you, sir, for your understanding. Sir, I have called my subordinates over. Do you have anything to tell me?"
Lin Ze shook his head: "I don't have any instructions. I'm just here for the first time. I want to meet you all and get to know each other, so that I don't even know my subordinates when I go out in the future."
Ai Hui replied with a smile on his face: "You are right, sir."
Lin Ze waved his hand and said, "Okay, then you go back first."
Ai Hui retreated in confusion. Did this new commander really just want to meet him? It's really confusing.
Lin Ze waited in the government office until the third watch, but did not wait for Wu Cheng's arrival. Finally, he said to Wu Fan standing aside: "Where is this Wu Chengqian?"
Wu Fan immediately replied: "When my subordinate went to deliver the letter today, he was enjoying himself at Cuihongyuan in Nancheng. I told him several times, but he said he was not free."
Lin Ze nodded: "Okay, you should go down and rest. It's been a tiring day."
Wu Fan complied and retreated.
Lin Ze's face immediately turned serious and he said to the four elders of Fang Xiandao: "Are the four elders confident that they are strong in the sixth level of magical power?"
Qingfeng thought for a moment and said, "If the four of us join forces, we should be able to win. Will the young sect master survive?"
Lin Ze shook his head: "I don't have that much time to subdue an unruly subordinate. Just ask the elder to bring the head back."
A trace of a sinister smile appeared on Qingfeng's face: "Young Sect Master, don't worry, if he is really a sixth-level magical person who is addicted to wine and sex, the four of me will work together and catch him by surprise, and we will definitely be able to bring the head back."
Then the four of them left hand in hand.
Lin Ze just poured himself another cup of tea and drank it slowly.
Half an hour later, Qingfeng came over with a baggage in his hand and said to Lin Ze: "Young Sect Leader, everything has been done."
Lin Ze saw blood dripping on the baggage at a glance and smiled slightly.
