Volume 3: Autumn is at the end of the Jiangnan grass has not withered Chapter 145 Puyang Station
Wang Xian and others got off the boat and went ashore and came to Puyang Station, which was five miles away from Pujiang County, when it was already dark and the gate of the post station was closed. But hearing that the county was the new canon's history to come to stay, the post guard hurriedly opened the door and invited everyone to enter, and after a while, the post man and the post official also heard the news and came to salute Wang Xian.
Although everyone is not in the stream, the classic history is one county and four masters, and Yicheng is a drudgery in 'bitter, spicy, sweet and sour', which cannot be compared at all. This Yicheng surnamed Jia, although he is old enough to be Wang Xian's uncle, he called out one by one 'second master', which made Wang Xian very stunned.
After getting acquainted, he said to Jia Yicheng: "Brother, don't call the second master again." In case the prefectural lord hears ......"
"Uh......" Jia Yicheng said with a look of surprise: "The second master still doesn't know the way, doesn't there be a county in this county?" ”
"Huh?" As soon as Wang Xian received the appointment, he hurried here, not in a hurry, because it was September in a blink of an eye. Daddy whispered in his ear every day, 'When you take office, you must avoid the first month, May and September, otherwise you will definitely suffer.' Wang Xian had no choice but to deal with the matter of Fuyang simply, and hurriedly took office on the boat, but fortunately, there was Wu Xiaofat, so he could get out in a few days.
However, he was only busy with Fuyang's affairs, and he really didn't know much about Pujiang. Hurriedly smiled: "Then there is also the master bookkeeper......
"There is no master book." Jia Yicheng said: "In addition to the eldest master, it is the biggest ...... in the history of the classics."
"This ......" Wang Xian couldn't help but be surprised: "Could it be that the number of households in this county is less than twenty miles?" "He is familiar with the law, and he knows that according to the "Da Ming Law> 'If the county household is less than 20 miles, there is no county master book.' 7
One mile is one hundred and ten households, twenty miles is two thousand two hundred, and there are about 10,000 people...... Such counties abound in underdeveloped areas in the northwest and southwest, but in the densely populated Jiangnan, it is really unlikely.
"This county is two hundred miles." Jia Yicheng said with a smile.
"That's about the same as Fuyang." Wang Xian said: "With more than 22,000 households and a population of more than 100,000, how can there be no Zuo Er?" ”
"Hehe, the imperial court has to look at things simple and complicated." Jia Yicheng said: "The county's own affairs are simple, so there is no Zuo Er. ”
"How can 100,000 people be simple?" Wang Xian couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm tired like a dog in Fuyang." ”
"Because there is the first one in Jiangnan in this county." Jia Yicheng couldn't help but secretly say, this Wang Dianshi is really young, and he doesn't know anything.
"Oh, Pujiang Zheng family, I've heard of this," Wang Xian said suddenly: "I heard that it was sealed by Emperor Taizu." ”
"Not bad." Speaking of the Zheng family, Jia Yicheng and You Rongyan said: "The Zheng family has lived together for the ninth generation, loyalty, filial piety and faithfulness, since the Southern Song Dynasty has been more than 200 years, tens of thousands of clansmen, but there has never been a man who broke the law or a daughter who remarried. There have been more than 170 officials, none of whom have been corrupt and bent the law, and all of them have been diligent and honest...... Only such a loyal, filial and faithful family can be worthy of the 'first family in the south of the Yangtze River' given by Emperor Taizu. ”
Wang Xian couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, this first in Jiangnan is a hundred times stronger than his 'first official in Jiangnan'. But how can such a powerful family have no sense of existence? Otherwise, with his acumen, he would not have been negligent to such an extent.
"But the Zheng family is low-key enough." In order to hide his ignorance, Wang Xian hurriedly said, "I haven't heard their movements for many years,"
"Ahem......" Jia Yicheng hesitated, but still whispered: "The Zheng family has been very quiet all these years. After a pause, he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "But at least in this county, they are still the same." If the government has anything to explain, it will be completed without discount, and there is no need to worry about it at all. Therefore, everyone is not good to come to Pujiang to be an official. ”
"What's good or not?"
"The advantage is that the government doesn't have to worry about it, the county will have an early end of taxes and grain, the bandits will be extinct, and the people will be harmonious and orderly." Jia Yicheng said: "The disadvantage is that no matter how good the situation in this county is, outsiders think that it is the credit of the Zheng family, and it has nothing to do with the government." After a pause, he smiled bitterly: "What I hate is that the province also looks at it like this." ”
"Okay, the Zheng family is in charge of Pujiang County, and the officials are just decorations, so they don't have Zuo Er at all?" Wang Xianxin's county is really wonderful.
"Yes, even the eldest master has suffered from it...... Jia Yicheng smiled bitterly: "From ...... In the thirty-third year of Hongwu, he was in this county as the magistrate, and now twelve years have passed, and he is still in the county as the magistrate of the county...... "Zhu Yuanzhang died in the thirty-first year of Hongwu, and Emperor Jianwen changed the yuan the following year. But after Zhu Di usurped the throne, he tried to erase all traces of Jianwen, even the Jianwen era that had been used for four years, but he just let it go.
So the first year of Jianwen became the thirty-second year of Hongwu, and the second year of Jianwen became the thirty-third year of Hongwu...... Until the thirty-fifth year of Hongwu.
"Yes...... "No matter how stupid Wang Xian is, he will not comment on his boss in front of his colleagues. Because the rumors will change their taste, I don't know what it will become when it reaches the ears of the magistrate. Think about the county magistrate who has not been promoted for 12 years, and still don't complain about turning into a river against the current? He didn't want to be someone's punching bag......
The two briefly chatted about the customs of Pujiang County, and seeing that it was not early, Jia Yicheng got up and said goodbye: "The second master should rest early, and the next official will let the county report early in the morning." ”
"I'm tired." Wang Xian nodded, and said with a helpless smile: "Don't call it that, the little brother can't stand it." ”
"Just get used to it." Jia Yicheng smiled and exited the room.
"Second old man......" When he left, Wang Xian repeated softly, with a slight smile on his face.
"Don't you just call you the second master, I'm happy to be like this." Lingxiao sat aside. In order to protect Wang Xian, she decided to be wronged and continued to pretend to be his maid. But whoever expects this maid to serve tea and pour water will definitely be disappointed.
"You know what." Wang Xianle laughed and said: "It's like playing pai gow, I thought I caught a miscellaneous seven or a miscellaneous eight, but who knew that I caught a pair of red heads!" ”
Ling Xiao didn't understand Pai Gow, and looked at Wang Xian with a wink, but he roughly knew what he meant, didn't he earn it.
Wang Xian is indeed very happy. Although in just one year, a great leap from official to official has been achieved, but who doesn't want to be perfect? Can the classic history of Pujiang in Jinhua Mansion be compared to the classic history of Qiantang County, Hangzhou Prefecture? He really didn't know if the Great Tomorrow official was full of food, or if he had a grudge against him in his past life. actually said that 'the hero has another use', but he distributed himself...... It really didn't deal with it.
For this reason, Wei Zhixian comforted him, how good the classic history is, the power is great, there are many subordinates, and it is not in the stream.
Wang Xian almost died of depression, looked at the teacher sadly and said: "The first few are enough, what is there to do with the last sentence?" ”
According to the "Da Ming Law> 'Wei Zhixian, oh no, now it's Wei Xiu, happily said: 'Officials who have not entered the stream can participate in the imperial examination!' Once you enter the stream, you will have no chance with the science field in this life. ’
Wang Xian still cares a lot about the identity of that showman, so he only masturbates with it. Who would have thought that his classic history turned out to be the second in Pujiang County! No, the thought of not having to serve the three gods anymore made him happy.
The next day, in the evening, two scribes arrived late, visited the second master, and conveyed the message of the eldest master...... When to take office, Wang Dianshi decided for himself.
"Tomorrow, then." Wang Xian thought about it, and if he didn't rush too late, he could also make a good impression on his boss.
"This ......" two scribes, one surnamed Zheng and the other surnamed Zheng, and most of Pujiang County have this surname. The long-faced Zheng is the official of the ceremonial room, and when he heard this, he persuaded: "The second master should take office one day later, so that the brothers can be fully prepared." ”
"There's nothing to prepare for. Keep it simple. Wang Xian smiled faintly
"Second old man......" Another round-faced Zheng, who is the head of the county's Xu official team, whispered when he heard this: "As the officialdom goes, 'Shangguan is not auspicious on the fourth day of the first month, the seventy-sixth is the most hurtful at the first seventy-six, and the nineteenth is even more suspicious of twenty-eight, and the fool will suffer if he does not believe." It is inevitable that people will die when they are in office, and they must be injured in the end of their term'...... Tomorrow will be twenty-eight. ’
"This is all nonsense, and the official doesn't believe it." Wang Xian stiffened his face and said: "It's so decided, I won't take office tomorrow!" ”
Seeing that he was so insistent, the two had no choice but to get down, and explained a few words, and a sedan chair came to pick them up tomorrow morning, and the two took their leave.
As soon as the two left, Lingxiao said strangely: "Xiao Xianzi, if you don't believe in the common saying, why did you rush to take office before September?" ”
"First, I don't know if the two of them made it up to accuse me. Second, even if it wasn't made up, I couldn't change it with them as soon as I said it. Wang Xian sighed and said: "I know best how the officials treat the chiefs, every time a new official takes office, the officials must weigh the pounds first, and even those who are arrogant will be directly dismounted."
"Don't worry." Lingxiao said very righteously: "If they dare to bully you, I will beat them!" ”
"Good intentions ......have been received," Wang Xian glanced at her helplessly and said, "Forgot the three chapters of our covenant?" ”
At the beginning, he didn't want this eldest lady to come to Pujiang, but where was Lingxiao willing to listen to him, Wang Xian had to make an appointment with her for three chapters, first, to listen to me, second, not to use force casually, and third, to give me some face when there are outsiders...... Wang Xian, if you don't kill me, I won't take you.
"Remember......" Lingxiao was very trustworthy, and he agreed at the time, so he didn't violate it again, except for the time when he blew up his lungs. She pursed her lips depressedly, grimaced at Wang Xian and said, "They want to bully you, and I don't care!" "Ignore him.
Wang Xian shook his head helplessly, and said to Shuai Hui: "I won't go out today, you and Erhei County will take a look at the terrain, and you will have a number in your heart tomorrow." ”
The two answered and went out together. I came back later and muttered to Wang Xian for a long time, but Wang Xian didn't seem to look good.
In the evening, Wang Xian borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and invited Jia Yicheng to eat wine, and when the wine was hot, Fang asked him bluntly: "There seems to be a practice of making history in the county?" ”
"No...... Jia Yicheng hurriedly shook his head and said, helplessly running into Wang Xian, a powerful character, and in a few words, he let him get rid of it all.
Wonderful recommendation:
