Emperor Jingwen was silent for a long time. The reason why he rewarded the Lord Jiahua with ten hectares of fertile land in Feng County was mainly because she was not in particularly good health and she was also weak-tempered.
Throughout the ages, not only county lords, but also princesses with fiefdoms have been deceived a lot by their subordinates because they are weak-tempered and incompetent!
Originally, Emperor Jingwen also felt sorry for her, but now he was self-defeating.
Ten hectares of fertile land in Feng County was given to Lord Jiahua County not just a day or two ago, but it was only in the past two years that people started to impeach him frequently.
Emperor Jingwen almost subconsciously thought that this was caused by the newly married husband!
"What is the name of Jiahua's husband?"
"Back to Your Majesty, you should be talking about Wailang Du Zhihe, a member of the Cangbu Division under the Ministry of Revenue."
It was obvious that Emperor Jingwen was dissatisfied with this Du Zhihe, otherwise, he would not have forgotten his name at all.
"Isn't Taiyuan Prefecture short of several manpower for this matter of clearing the father-in-law? Just as it happened, Jiahua told me last time that Du Zhihe could not be reused in the household department and his talents could not be put to use, so he should be sent there to serve as a county official. Ling, I want to see if he is really capable, or if he just talks sweetly and coaxes women to have fun!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
This is the best way at the moment.
By separating the county lord and Du Zhihe, the situation in Feng County will be easier to control.
After Cheng Jingzhou was appointed as the magistrate of Feng County, he naturally had to prepare to take office.
Because they were so close, the court only gave them two days to prepare.
Xie Rongzhao stayed in Xie Mansion for a whole day. After going to Feng County, he could no longer run home every day. Before leaving, he naturally had to spend more time with his parents at home, and also eat one more bite of the food cooked by his mother-in-law.
The things that Cheng Jingzhou and Xie Rongzhao had to pack were actually not too much. After all, they planned to come back for the New Year at the end of the year. Besides, there were some things that they didn’t need to bring with them to Feng County. Moreover, this was their family’s residence and was guarded. Nothing can go wrong.
This was not the first time for Cheng Jingzhou and Xie Rongzhao to go to Feng County. They were familiar with each other, so Liu Ruolan allowed the young couple to go to Fuyuan Villa in their free time.
The county government in Feng County is larger than that in Gaoyang County. After all, Feng County is a Shang County. It not only has a large population, but is also relatively wealthy.
Cheng Jingzhou had not been to Feng County for several years. Now that he came here again, he did not find much change, but he still found some clues along the way.
"I remember that the restaurant over there seemed to be called Ying Ke Lai. Has it changed its name now?"
Xie Rongzhao, who had first learned about many matters in Feng County, explained: "In the past, it was indeed called to welcome guests, but now it is called full of guests. It is said that it is the property of the Lord of Jiahua County."
As for how this property was transferred to the name of Jiahua County Lord, the two looked at each other and seemed to have some vague guesses.
"Bao Bao knows a lot about things in Feng County?"
Xie Rongzhao thought about it carefully: "It's not bad. As early as when you knew how to try, I heard my father say that someone in the court was participating in the Jiahua County Lord. Later, I heard Uncle Chen mention that the Jiahua County Lord was playing. There are ten hectares of fertile land in Feng County, so I asked more about it. Later, I learned that my father intended to promote the clearing of household affairs, so I sent someone to Feng County to learn more about it, so I found out."
Cheng Jingzhou pinched her little face and said, "You do have foresight."
Xie Rongzhao glared at him dissatisfied: "You know how to pinch yourself red, and people will see it soon."
"So what? You are my wife, why can't I just show off your face?"
Xie Rongzhao glared at him again, but this time he was kissed by Cheng Jingzhou.
The regulations of the county government are basically the same, except that the county government in Feng County is larger.
The front of the county government office is the court hall, and behind it is the county government office. After going around, there is a door. After exiting, there is an open space of about ten feet. Going forward, there is another door.
Pushing through this door, you will find the backyard of the county government office and the residence of the county magistrate's family.
At present, Cheng Jingzhou's only family member is Xie Rongzhao, so everything is left to Xie Rongzhao's arrangement.
"Move those boxes to the second room in the east wing. Yes, those camphor wood boxes. You two, move the mahogany boxes here to the main room and put them in the hall. Don't go in there anymore. ”
Wang Zizhen directed the servants to start moving, while Xie Rongzhao was accompanied by Chen Xia and sat on the corridor talking slowly.
"Fortunately, Uncle Fang sent someone over in advance and replaced some furniture. Otherwise, we would have been busy."
Chen Xia echoed: "That's right. This county government office is too shabby. The pillars outside haven't been painted for many years."
Xie Rongzhao also followed her words and took a look. Sure enough, the pillars were somewhat mottled. The previous county magistrate was quite frugal.
Wang Zizhen basically arranged all the boxes and cages, and then began to arrange a few rough servants to start cleaning. As for the master's dormitory, they were naturally not qualified to enter.
Wang Zizhen called A Tao into the house and started to clean up the bedroom.
This has already been cleaned, and the furniture in the dormitory has been replaced with new ones. It just needs to be wiped with a rag again.
Ping An and others were busy working in front with Cheng Jingzhou, while Xie Rongzhao, after walking around the yard, still felt that there might be fewer people on hand.
"Miss, don't worry. Wang and his wife have come to Feng County, but they are all in Zhuangzi now. It is estimated that they will be busy for a few more days before they can come to serve them."
"Well, let's do this for now."
The day after Cheng Jingzhou officially took office, he began to order his subordinates, Liufang and related subordinates, to come see him.
"Liufang" is the specific office of the county government, which is composed of officials in charge and subordinate staff.
The Lifang is in charge of personnel affairs, managing county government documents and general affairs within the government office.
The military room is in charge of recruiting soldiers and training, managing local armed forces, post stations and "three shifts" of government officials.
Households are responsible for collecting land taxes and commercial taxes, managing household registration, warehouses and financial revenue and expenditure, and dispatching corvees.
The ceremonial room is in charge of sacrifices, examinations, school education, showing integrity and filial piety, and educating the people.
The execution room is responsible for litigation, judicial trials, and prisoner management.
The Gongfang is in charge of industry, responsible for farming, water conservancy, and engineering construction.
In total, there are about a hundred subordinate officials in the county government.
According to the county magistrate Xie Xiuqi, there are between 105 and 105 county government officials of various types, receiving salary silver, labor and food silver, and the total annual silver requirement is 900 taels.
Liufang is the specific office of the county government, which is in charge of officials and consists of subordinate staff.
The subordinate officials here are basically all locals of Feng County, and the unwritten rules are basically handed down from ancestors. Generally, ancestors have been doing this for several generations.
"Next, we must listen to the imperial court's instructions. We in Feng County must start preparing for the Qingzhang. Are there any questions here in Hufang?"
The housekeeper stood up and said: "Sir, this is a good thing, but Feng County is close to the capital. All land over a thousand acres basically belongs to the nobles. This, this job is easy to talk about but hard to handle. !”
