"Xiaguan Zhou Tai visited Lord Zhu, and Xiaguan was selected by Shu Quan of the Ministry of Officials before the month, and let Jingnan Zhixian go. When he passed through Suzhou on the way to take office, he happened to encounter a plague in Suzhou, and he was delayed in the city for several days. This is the name card of the lower official, please review it by Lord Zhu. ”

Zhou Tai was led by Liu Dianzhi from the east hall of the county ya, bowed to Zhu Ping'an, and then respectfully put the name card with his position and resume on the table in front of Zhu Ping'an, and then took three steps back and bowed to Zhu Ping'an three times.

Zhou Tai bowed very much in the face of Zhu Ping'an, and was a little restrained, with a standard feeling of a subordinate meeting the leader.

"Lord Zhou has worked hard all the way, why be polite, please take a seat."

Zhu Ping'an glanced at Zhou Tai's name card, confirmed that it was consistent with the notice issued by the ministry a few days ago, and then got up enthusiastically and returned the salute, helped Zhou Tai a hand, and invited him to sit down.

"Thank you, sir." Zhou Tai was a little at a loss in the face of Zhu Ping'an's enthusiasm, adults seemed to be too enthusiastic......

Can Zhu Ping'an not be enthusiastic, Zhu Ping'an has been looking forward to this day for I don't know how many days, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looking forward to Zhou Tai, the new magistrate of Jingnan County, who succeeded him.

The new Jingnan magistrate Zhou Tai is here, and he will be able to go to Zhejiang to take up the post of criminal envoy and prosecutor.

Of course, Zhu Ping'an was not in a hurry to be promoted, but in a hurry to be in his position and seek his own government. The great trouble in Jingnan has already begun, and only the higher the position, the greater the power in his hands, and the greater the role he can play.

After a few brief greetings, Zhu Ping'an and Zhou Tai handed over important things such as Jingnan County seals, account books, and fish scale atlases, and gave an account of the official affairs of the county government, and introduced Liu Dianzhi and other county officials to Zhou Tai one by one...... In this way, the handover of the new and old Jingnan Zhixian has also been completed.

Next, Zhou Tai's ceremony of receiving the seal and the ceremony of arranging the government will be held in the morning of the next day.

Zhu Ping'an did not participate.

After a brief contact, Zhu Ping'an's impression of Zhou Tai is still good. Zhou Tai is a calm person, who does things in a proper manner, not the kind of vain person, and seems to be a practical person. Jingnan was handed over to Zhou Tai, and Zhu Ping'an was still relatively relieved.

After the handover, Zhu Ping'an said goodbye to Zhou Tai, Liu Dianyi and others, and prepared to leave for Zhejiang immediately to serve as the prosecutor and envoy.

The backyard painting had already packed up his things, and as soon as Zhu Ping'an came back, he set off. Of course, there are also Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others, as well as the demon girl Ruonan.

Zhu Ping'an refused and stopped the request of Zhou Tai, Liu Dianguan and others to send each other, not wanting to mobilize the people, so as not to work the people and lose money, of course, he didn't want to alarm the people of Jingnan. I walked gently, as I came gently, waving my sleeves without taking away a cloud......

However, Zhu Ping'an is still a little too wishful thinking.

Zhu Ping'an stopped Zhou Tai, Liu Dianyi and others from sending each other, but he couldn't stop the people of Jingnan.

When Zhou Tai came to serve as the magistrate of Jingnan, according to the rules, when Liu Dianzhi and other county officials, as well as the squires and wealthy businessmen in Jingnan, went out of the city to greet them, the common people knew about it.

The new magistrate of the county has come to take office, doesn't that mean that our county is about to leave office?!

Ordinary people are not stupid, they know it when they think about it.

Therefore, the people waited near the county government early, and there were people at the front and back doors, waiting to see Zhu Ping'an off.

"The county honor, the county lord has come out......"

In order not to alarm people, Zhu Ping'an deliberately left through the back door, but as soon as he went out, he heard a shout.

After this shout, there were more and more voices of "the county is out", just like recruiting friends and companions, after this shout, footsteps rushed over from all directions.

Looking at the group of people outside the door, as well as more and more people rushing over, Zhu Ping'an was stunned.

"Are you leaving?"

"County Zun, don't you go, okay?! You will be our parents, we beg you......"

"County Zun, don't go...... What are we going to do when you're gone?! We will never meet a parent as good as you again. ”

The common people said emotionally outside the door, and even some elderly uncles knelt down.

"Uncle, aunt, all fathers and elders are on a blind date, please get up quickly...... I'm leaving, Jingnan still trusts Lord Zhou, who will take care of everyone. Zhu Ping'an hurriedly stepped forward to help up the nearest white-haired old man and an equally white-haired old lady, and said to everyone.

"County Zun, if we don't recognize any of us, we will recognize you. Only the county respects us in their hearts, treats us well, helps us reduce taxes, and makes decisions for us, so that we can survive floods and robberies...... We're just having a good life. How many years have passed, how many counties have been infected, and we have met you, a well-informed county, a parent official who really makes decisions for the people and asks for the people's lives. ”

"The county begs you, don't go, stay, and then give us the county."

The corners of the people's eyes moistened.

"What are you going to do one by one, are you going to take revenge?! The reason why we can stand here alive and why our days are getting better day by day is all due to Lai Xianzun. The county zun has been promoted, you don't let the county zun go, are you going to ruin the future of the county zun?! Besides, can you stay if you let the county lord stay? Do you treat national affairs as child's play?! The promotion of the county is the emperor's order! Disobeying the emperor's order, this is a matter of losing your head! You are so selfish! ”

An old man squeezed in front of the crowd on crutches, and shouted angrily at them with his crutches.

"Yes, the county lord has been promoted, we can't stop the future of the county honor."

"The county is good to us, we can't take revenge."

"The county has been promoted, we have to be happy for the county, and we have to see off the county."

"Old woman, go and catch our chickens and see them off to the county."

"We give the county a ...... to Cheng Yi"

After the old man finished teaching the lesson, all the ordinary people also figured it out, and they all expressed their attitudes to see Zhu Ping'an off.

Some of the people catch chickens, some lead sheep, and some take melons and fruits and agricultural by-products, of course, what is even more indispensable is Cheng Yi's silver money, the people spontaneously paid out of their pockets, less than 100 wen, more than a dozen taels of silver, and it didn't take long to make up a large basket of copper coins and broken silver.

"All the fathers and elders are on a blind date, especially the uncle and aunt, you are so old, and you have come from afar to see off Ping'an, which makes Ping'an grateful and uneasy. The hearts of all the fathers and villagers, I have all the peace in my heart, and these silver coins and other things are not needed. ”

Zhu Ping'an was very moved, of course, he still firmly rejected everyone's kindness, and he didn't want a grain of rice or a penny.

"County Zun, we are the people of the mountains, we have never seen the world, and we have no culture. But we know everything in our hearts. In the past, the magistrates only knew about levying and levying conscription, collecting money and grain taxes, but they didn't see anything done for our people, but they made people angry. Since the county lord came, we only know what it means to be a parent official, the county respects the case impartially, and makes the decision for us, the county honors the prisoners who have not paid taxes and goes home for the autumn harvest, the county honors us to reduce and reduce taxes, and the county honors us from floods and robbers...... This pile, one by one, is the county's favor to us, thanks to the county's merits, we survived, lived well, and lived with dignity...... Now the county is going to be promoted, we are here to see off the county, these are our insignificant little thoughts, please don't shirk the county, you must accept it, otherwise we will be at ease. ”

Several old men stepped forward and said excitedly that Zhu Ping'an must accept the Cheng Yi they made.

"Your fathers have praised you falsely, and peace is only a matter of doing what you have done, far less than what your fathers said. The hearts of the fathers and the villagers have been received with peace of mind, and silver and other things cannot be accepted. ”

Zhu Ping'an said stubbornly.

The people did not follow and insisted that Zhu Ping'an accept it. In this way, the stalemate lasted for a long time.

"This is the hard-earned money of my fathers and fellow villagers, and I accept this article safely, and I have the right to commemorate it, carry it personally, and never forget it." Seeing this, Zhu Ping'an had no choice but to take out a copper coin from the money basket and accept it.

The common people admired Zhu Ping'an even more.

Suddenly, Zhu Ping'an's reputation as "one money county respect" and "one money adult" spread far and wide.
