Today, the county government feels that something is wrong, mainly because Li Hua, the county superintendent who rarely comes on weekdays, has been in the county government since a few hours ago, and it is said that he is waiting for the county lord to finish his official business.

But many officials feel that this is a statement, in their eyes, this Li Hua is not easy to provoke, although the other party's official position is not high, but people are imperial history, even if the county commander makes a mistake, people can directly stab it, so that the county order can't eat and walk around, so other officials, on weekdays, can hide and hide. In the entire Changshui County Government, the only exception is Bai County Cheng, and when it comes to Bai County Cheng, the county government is admired and awe-inspired.

Although he is only the second-in-command of Changshui County, in fact, many things are not nodding without Bai Xiancheng, which cannot be done, and because of this, the county commander Zhu Sanjiang is quite dissatisfied with Bai Xiancheng, and he has been fighting openly and secretly for a while.

At this moment, Zhu Sanjiang was in the study hall, and his face was a little unsightly.

"Although Li Hua is the imperial history, he is pestled in the courtyard of the county government if he has nothing to do, this is not a matter, the officials below are all terrified, and they don't know what medicine is sold in this Li Hua gourd. The chief bookkeeper whispered beside him at this time.

Zhu Sanjiang waved his hand: "If he wants to stay there, let him stay, he is the imperial historian, and he has the authority to supervise the officials in the place where he belongs, what are you afraid of? As long as you act according to the official performance and enforce the law impartially, then the imperial history will not be able to do anything to you." ”

"That's what the county magistrate said!" the chief bookkeeper nodded hurriedly, and then changed his words: "But then again, Li Hua and Bai Xiancheng have been a little close recently, although it is a study on the surface, but I am afraid that there is something else in it." ”

The chief bookkeeper is not young, and it seems that he is an old fritter in officialdom, and when he says this at this moment, he obviously has something to say.

Zhu Sanjiang frowned: "If you want to say anything, say it directly, don't play tricks with me here." ”

The chief bookkeeper hurriedly said: "Recently, Bai Xiancheng wants to engage in a strategy of streamlining officials, you know about this matter, and the last time you were in the county government, you have already opposed this point of view, but Bai Xiancheng also has a lot of crooked reasoning, although it was not passed in the end, but I don't think Bai Xiancheng intends to give up, maybe Li Yushi came because of this matter." ”

When the chief bookkeeper said this, he naturally had his thoughts.

In his opinion, Bai Xiancheng's law of streamlining officials must not be passed, you must know that on his own side, there are many relatives and friends who borrow his connections to enter the county government to eat.

And when this is said, they are all big face-saving, and they are also 'iron rice bowls', stable, don't look at those businessmen who are doing business outside, one by one, they are extremely beautiful, but so what? There are profits and losses in business, but as an official, it is a steady profit and not a loss. So for them, this official position, even if it is just a small official, is not in the stream, but as long as there is an official status, there is money, even if they don't work, they can eat and drink without worry.

In addition to relatives and friends, the chief bookkeeper is actually buying and selling the seats of some small officials behind his back, and the price is quite amazing, and among them, the seat of the county government official and the fast catcher is the most sought-after, after all, this is not a border state, if it is a border state, the selection conditions for the county military service are extremely strict, and no one dares to do anything in this matter, but in the inland state, especially in a rich place like Huzhou, there is no external trouble, so it is much more relaxed, so it gives him a chance.

It is conceivable that in the eyes of the chief bookkeeper, what Bai Xiancheng wants to do is not only to cut off his financial route, but also to push him to death, that is, the enemy of life and death, so if there is a chance to deal with Bai Xiancheng, the chief bookkeeper will never be soft.

What's more, the chief bookkeeper knows that Zhu Sanjiang, the county magistrate's hands and feet, are darker than himself, and there are more seats arranged behind his back, so they are now grasshoppers on a rope, and they must be unanimous to the outside world.

Zhu Sanjiang, as a county magistrate, has a higher official position than the chief bookkeeper, and naturally, the level is also higher, how can he not see what the other party thinks and worries.

"You, think too much, no matter if the person surnamed Bai has any ideas, even if he has, what's the use of him finding a Li Hualai? What's more, he wants to streamline the current officials, this is crazy, he used to think that this surnamed Bai has some ability, but now it seems that he is just an unrealistic madman, who does he think he is? Just a county Cheng, he actually dares to touch this kind of thing, not to mention him, it is me, even the Lord of our city government, and even the Lord of Huzhou Prefecture, I will never dare to open this opening, that is to offend all the officials in the world, so don't pay attention to them, they want to make trouble and toss, let them go, in the end, either nothing can be done, or they will be burned. ”

Obviously, looking at the level of the problem, this Zhu Sanjiang is obviously higher, and the analysis is more thorough.

When the chief bookkeeper heard this, he was also relieved, and secretly despised Nabai County Cheng in his heart, in addition, he thought about it and felt that it was good for the other party to make a big deal about it, because if he insisted on doing this matter of streamlining officials, it would inevitably be that the other party's official position would not be guaranteed, and when the other party lost his official position, wouldn't the county Cheng's position be vacant?

As soon as he thought of this, the chief bookkeeper was a little excited.

He has been in the county government for more than ten years, and the official position has not been moved for a long time to the position of the main book, if this time he can seize the opportunity to continue to rise one level and reach the position of the county prince, it will be even better.

And I heard that Zhu Sanjiang has a backer on the side of the city government, maybe in three or five years, Zhu Sanjiang will be transferred to the city government, so first, the position of the county order of Changshui County is not his own bag?

Thinking of the excitement, the chief bookkeeper's face flushed, and he was already beginning to fantasize about the future scenery.

Li Hua is still waiting, Bai Xiancheng has a lot of affairs, Zhu Sanjiang is very good at employing people, and handed over many complicated things in the county to Bai Xiancheng, and he himself is quite relaxed. And recently, within the county government, there seems to be a lot of exclusion of Bai Xiancheng, for example, even if some things are ordered, the officials below will not refute, but they are just dragging it, not doing things well, and it is difficult to grasp their handles.

Li Hua knows all these things, but if this kind of procrastination is really difficult to catch their evidence, and if an official violates official law, this matter is a matter of imperial history, but other ambiguous things, he can't control this imperial history.

Li Hua also knows the recent situation in the county government, and he also knows why Bai Xiancheng encounters this kind of 'exclusion', but the more he encounters this kind of predicament, the more Bai Xiancheng has no intention of retreating and compromising, which is why Li Hua is so respectful and respectful to Bai Xiancheng.

In Li Hua's opinion, Bai Xiancheng stayed here to be a Bapin County Cheng, which was really a bit of a condescension.

Li Hua had been worried before, but the strange thing that happened today, the mysterious visitor, made him feel that Bai Xiancheng was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

Now Li Hua boldly guessed that the mysterious visitor was likely to be the literati example, and now the second-grade immortal official Shangshu Ling Chu Xian of the Shoufu Pavilion, if it was really this Lord Chu, then everything would not be a thing.

But Li Hua felt that he might be thinking too much.

How could an immortal official like Lord Chu Xian appear in the small county town of Changshui? This is simply unimaginable, and if it is true, how dare Bai Xiancheng speak to Lord Chu in such a tone?

It's also impossible.

Therefore, Li Hua is extremely curious and a little apprehensive now, and he only hopes that Bai Xiancheng will finish the matter as soon as possible, so that he can come out and ask clearly.

After waiting for a long time, Bai Xiancheng finally came out, and Li Hua saw this and hurriedly greeted him.

"Lord White. Li Hua saluted, Bai Xiancheng's face was slightly tired, but he still nodded and said, "Master Li, what are you doing here?"

"Li Hua, I have something to ask Lord Bai for advice. Li Hua looked around at this time and found that this was not a good place, so he said that he would take a step to speak, and Bai Xiancheng also thought of what the other party was going to ask, so he also nodded, and the two of them left the county government one after the other.

Many officials in the back pointed and pointed and discussed secretly.

"This Bai County Cheng, this county Cheng's position, I'm afraid he won't be able to sit for long, see how long he can be proud. ”

"Who said no, he was just a second-in-command, and he dared to put forward that kind of whimsical, even naïve and ridiculous idea, I don't think he regarded himself as a county minister, but as a prime minister. ”

"Hahahaha, it's really ridiculous, I don't know how this kind of person sat on the county seat, but it seems that that's all, this Changshui County is still the Lord Zhu, even if it is the Lord of the Book, it is better than leaning on this county that is about to be finished. ”

The eaves of the house at sunset, the sun sets.

The scenery of Changshui County is very good, there are more than a dozen clear water rivers and stone bridges in the county, each with its own characteristics, it is very water town charm, plus the boat fluttering in Xiao Hezhong, and the peasant women washing by the river, add a kind of simplicity and beauty of life.

Li Hua followed behind Bai Xiancheng, and wanted to speak several times, but he didn't have the courage.

Just halfway through, Bai Xiancheng spoke first.

"I know what you want to ask, Lord Li, to be honest, in this Changshui County, you have no academic knowledge or knowledge, you are above others, and you are also a material that can be made, if you are not too pedantic, you will go further in the future, and the stage for you to display your mind and ambition will be bigger, now, you can ask nothing, I will give you a chance, if you want to display your ambitions, make greater efforts for the Holy Dynasty, and want to stand on a higher stage to do something truly meaningful, then, follow me back, and you will know who that person is when the time comes。 Of course, if you don't want to, you just want to live in peace, I won't force you, and now when you go back, you don't know what to do. ”

This is tantamount to giving Li Hua a choice.
