Chapter 296 The new magistrate
Because time was tight, Shi Zhipei did not delay after returning. He immediately borrowed a group of powerful elite soldiers from Wei Huang. After some proper discussion, he directly finalized the land measurement plan.
In addition to measuring the land, Shi Zhipei also made another arrangement, which was even more than three inches of those aristocratic families. After such a two-pronged approach, even if there are wise people in those aristocratic families, they will definitely not be able to suppress the children of those aristocratic families who have long been accustomed to being arrogant.
...
Fuyuan County is a large county near Nanjun County City. County Magistrate Wang Shou is a member of the Yuan family. During this rebellion of the White Lotus Sect, Fuyuan County Magistrate Wang Shou had already received the order of non-resistance from Yuan Lianghan, the head of the Yuan family.
Therefore, before the White Lotus Rebels arrived, Wang Shou took his servants in advance and secretly transferred all his property. After the White Lotus Sect arrived, the small families in the city that did not belong to the Yuan family could not make effective resistance without a leader. In addition, there were some private responders arranged by Bai Changqiu in advance, so Fuyuan County fell quickly.
When the White Lotus Sect ended the ravages of Fuyuan County and went to the next county town, Wang Shou brought his servants and some county soldiers back again. With the indescribable tacit understanding between the two sides, Wang Shou quickly "recaptured" Fuyuan County.
In this way, Wang Shou, who had clearly abandoned the city and fled, became a great hero to retake Fuyuan County through this operation. Not only could he continue to be his county magistrate, but he also took this opportunity to scan all the forces in the county that were not in opposition to him.
But just when Wang Shou thought he could continue to be his county magistrate so easily, some uninvited guests suddenly came to the county government in Fuyuan County.
There were more than a dozen people in this group, the leader was in his thirties, and he looked like a scholar. The people behind him were two people dressed as children, and the rest looked like a guard and the rest were all like guards.
However, although these people are extraordinary, the constables are not too afraid. After all, the people do not fight with the officials. Although he is just a constable, he represents the county government and he does not take these people seriously.
"Who are you?"
The constable guarding the county government gate saw that the visitor was planning to break into the county government directly, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He quickly blocked the people and asked, "How could you trespass the government government and the government office besides? Can you seek death?"
“Bold!!!”
Seeing that the constable was rude, the scholar behind the scholar was furious, "My master is the new county magistrate of Fuyuan County. He has sent you a message in advance. It would be fine if you don't go out to greet him, but you dare to speak rudely."
"I think it's you who's looking for death!"
"New...new county magistrate?"
The constable was stunned. He hadn't heard that his current magistrate would be transferred, and there was no news about the new county magistrate in the Tianfu Office. There was no news about this. Could it be that these people in front of him were fooling people, right?
Thinking of this, the constable's expression suddenly became a little serious. However, as an old fry, he did not dare to offend the group of people in front of him rashly without knowing the truth or falsehood. After all, if it is true, if he questioned it again, he might not be able to take it and take it away.
And if it is fake, it's okay. Now he is a little humble. After confirming that it is fake, as a constable, he has some ways to conquer this group of people.
"Zhao Qi, a constable of the Wushi County squad, has met you all."
Constable Zhao Qi bowed to the scholar, and then said politely: "I don't know Mount Tai, and I bumped into the adults. I hope you will forgive me."
After paying the gift, Zhao Qi immediately changed his mind and said, "But is it that you are sure that you are going to take over as the county magistrate of Fuyuan County?"
"What are you talking about?"
The book boy who spoke just now was sharp-tongued. When he heard Zhao Qi's words, he immediately spoke, "Can my master even make mistakes in where he wants to be an official?"
"Okay, Xiaoyuan."
The new county magistrate waved his hand and stopped the book boy who wanted to continue to talk to others. Then he said in a kind tone: "Since Constable Zhao has confirmed it again and again, it means there must be some problems here."
After saying that, the new county magistrate turned around and said to Zhao Qi, "I am Xu Wei, yesterday, said that he would be the county magistrate of Fuyuan County. Although it was quite hasty, Lord Shi said that he had arranged the matter. Logically speaking, someone should have sent someone to inform the former county magistrate. Why do you look unaware of it?"
"Yesterday's order?"
Zhao Qi was stunned for a moment. The county magistrate usually doesn't come to the government office at night, so it is possible that the county magistrate knows that it is not told about it.
Thinking of this, Zhao Qi's attitude became even more humble, but in order to prevent himself from making a mistake, he lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, s
"But just in case, can you please let me see your transfer order?"
"It is possible if you say so."
Xu Wei nodded with some understanding. After all, the handover of county magistrates will be notified at least half a month in advance. Now it is half a day ahead of time, which is indeed a bit strange.
However, although Xu Wei was a little confused, he didn't care so much. After all, the opportunity to become an official is rare, and with his qualifications, he is the position of a county magistrate, which is simply a pie from the sky for him. So as long as the position of a county magistrate is not to kill him, he will not bother to care about the reason behind this.
If you like, you will take office first. If you don’t work, you will resign.
With this mentality, Xu Wei did not make things difficult for Zhao Qi. He asked Shutong to take out his transfer order and letter of appointment from the bag and handed it to Zhao Qi for him to check it out.
As a yamen runner in the important place of the government office, Zhao Qi still knew about the official seal, so he quickly confirmed Xu Wei's identity through these things. The person in front of him was sure that he was the new county magistrate.
"Little Zhao Qi, I have met the county master."
Zhao Qi smiled like a flower on his face. He first handed Xu Wei's appointment letter to Xu Wei's book boy, and then respectfully guided Xu Wei in front of him. "Mr. County Master, please ask for it. The government office is a little messy. I'll find someone to clean up here and order a table of food in the restaurant to welcome you."
“No need.”
Xu Wei shook his head and said, "Let's talk about the affairs of the government office in the future."
"And this time Fuyuan County encountered soldiers and was seriously affected, so I won't talk about the red tape. You should first notify the people in the government office and let them come to see me. I will first understand the situation in Fuyuan County."
"The county respects the master and cares about the people and takes common ground as the foundation. It is a rare blue sky. This time the people of Fuyuan County are blessed."
