Zhou Kang left the palace very happily. After he left, Zhou Zhen directly called the guards at the door.
"Liu Wei, you have been following me for many years, right?"
The guard nodded with great respect. He was not only the chief guard of the Royal Forest Army, but also had been following Zhou Zhen when Zhou Zhen was still a prince, protecting Zhou Zhen's safety.
Now Zhou Zhen is over fifty, and even Liu Wei is in his 30s.
Zhou Zhen couldn't help sighing, and then said to Liu Wei.
"In this huge palace, you are the only person I trust most, so you have to do something for me!"
"Here is a secret order. Take this secret order and go to Zhao County in Huaigu Fucheng, where you will take over the position of the Yamen servant!"
"This requires you to always monitor the actions of the newly appointed county magistrate Zhao Feng. No matter what he does or what happens, you must send me news regularly."
"Pay special attention to see if he has communicated with people from those big families. If so, be sure to send the news back in time!"
Liu Wei was a little surprised. He did not expect that the current Emperor would be interested in a county magistrate from the very remote Huaigu Fucheng.
But he had been following Zhou Zhen for many years, so he had long developed the character to execute orders. He nodded in agreement and left the capital with the secret order.
Zhou Kang was also looking forward to it, wanting to see if Zhao Feng could complete the tests of his father.
Zhao Feng had no idea that he had only been to the capital once and was already being taken care of by His Majesty. Moreover, this matter was closely related to his good friend Zhou Kang.
At this time, Zhao Feng was living at home every day, eating and waiting to die, feeling that his life had never been so pleasant.
The cement plant was already on the right track, with Sun Peng and Zhou Fei handling it, so there was no need for him to intervene anymore.
But the new year has passed, and Zhao Feng will soon take office.
Although Zhao Feng still serves as a treasurer, he always has to go to the county government office, and his office is usually at the county government office. He only does things in the capital city occasionally.
Zhao Feng was very reluctant to return to the county government, but he did not dare to have anything happen at this juncture, so he had no choice but to take office and come to the county government.
The yamen servants in the county government office were all standing in front of the county government office, forming a row and waiting for Zhao Feng very respectfully. The leader among them was Liu Wei.
From a distance, they saw Zhao Feng arriving in a carriage. The government officials quickly gathered around them, but Liu Wei stood there unmoved.
"Sir, we finally have you here!"
"Yes, sir, congratulations on taking office!"
Seeing these government officials, Zhao Feng couldn't help laughing twice. He turned his head and looked at Liu Wei, who was standing there, and suddenly felt a little confused.
"What's going on with that yamen officer over there? When he saw me coming, why didn't he come over to greet me?"
When the government officials heard this, they felt a little bitter in their hearts.
When Liu Wei came here, he also had a secret order in his hand. Although they did not recognize the imperial edict, they still recognized the official seal on it.
This secret order not only requires them to keep Liu Wei's identity secret, but also requires them to cooperate with all Liu Wei's orders. It can be said that Liu Wei is their immediate superior, and they can even ignore Zhao Feng's words, but they cannot Do not listen.
But when they heard Zhao Feng say this, they didn't know how to explain it for a moment. One of the more intelligent government servants had an idea and explained to Zhao Feng.
"Sir, he is very stupid. You don't need to worry about him. We will take you to the county government office!"
Zhao Feng nodded slightly, walked over and looked at Liu Wei, and then couldn't help but said in surprise.
"You have a good physique, but you only work as a yamen servant here. Don't you have any ambitions?"
Liu Wei lowered his head and looked at Zhao Feng, and then couldn't help but snorted coldly.
Zhao Feng suddenly laughed: "Hey, you have quite a personality!"
When the government officials saw that there was no conflict between Zhao Feng and Liu Wei for the first time, they couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed Zhao Feng to the county government office.
The structure of the county government office is similar to that of the government office, except that it is much smaller than the government office. The front is the front hall and lobby, which is specially used to interrogate prisoners and handle some government affairs. The back is the living room of the county magistrate. location.
It's just that those county officials rarely live in this county government office because the environment here is so bad.
Zhao Feng walked into the county government office, looked around, and couldn't help but frown.
The walls here have peeled off, the soil on them has been spread all over the floor, and there is even a big hole in the roof.
When we got to the back and looked at Zhao Feng, the county magistrate's living quarters, he was even more surprised. This was so sloppy, even the place where the magistrate lived had a thatched roof!
Seeing Zhao Feng's expression, the government officials were speechless.
"Sir, the previous county magistrate stole a lot of tax revenue every year. Even the money allocated by the court to build the county government office was all pocketed by him. That's why the environment here is so dilapidated."
"But don't worry, sir. At least your official uniform and seal have just been distributed by the imperial court!"
The government officials quickly took out their brand new official uniforms and seals. Zhao Feng couldn't help but shook his head when he saw the official uniforms and seals.
"This county government office is the face of the county. If the prisoners come here and see such a dilapidated county government office, how can they feel the majesty?"
Hearing Zhao Feng's words, the government officials showed bewildered expressions on their faces, and Zhao Feng continued to speak to them.
"You don't need to worry about this matter. I will find someone to repair the county government office again."
"At least we can't let this place be so dilapidated!"
The officials all showed bitterness on their faces, and then they lowered their voices and reminded Zhao Feng.
"Sir, the money allocated by the imperial court to repair the county government office has been spent long ago. Do you have to pay for it yourself?"
Zhao Feng couldn't help but smile. Of course he would not pay for it out of his own pocket. After all, he still has a cement factory under his control. This cement factory is a public-private partnership. When he buys part of the cement at a low price, he will be able to repair it. ?
Liu Wei, who was behind him, remained silent. When he heard that Zhao Feng's first thing was to repair the county government's environment, he began to despise Zhao Feng in his heart.
In Liu Wei's view, no matter what the environment is, as long as it is a county government, it can definitely represent the majesty of the county government.
Zhao Feng insists on repairing this place now, even at the expense of his own pocket. Isn't it just a great achievement?
