Both of them are familiar with sorghum fermented wine and have tasted it. They know that the wine is brewed by Huzi Banner. Mongolians like it so much that even if they would rather not eat, they still drink a few sips of sorghum fermented wine every day.
The two picked up the wine glasses and drank them all in one gulp.
The hot sorghum wine flowed down his throat and into his stomach, making Yang Jiachen, who usually didn't drink much, grin.
"Eat food, eat food." Captain He did not laugh at Yang Jiachen, but instead asked him to eat food to suppress the alcohol.
Being able to come to Lingqiu as county magistrate at such a young age is impossible without some background.
County Magistrate Huang picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the vegetable, put it in his mouth and chewed it while saying: "Since Captain He is the guard of Lingqiu, it's not good for the two of us to keep disturbing you here. Captain He, could you please send someone to clean up the county?" Yamen, the two of us will move there in the next two days."
"After dinner, I will send someone to clean up the county government office." Captain He nodded in agreement. It was not surprising that the two of them would move to the county government office.
If you want to work, after all, the name of the county government is justified.
"How to deal with the county magistrate in Lingqiu? Didn't you say that the county magistrate didn't kill him?" Yang Jiachen looked at County Magistrate Huang.
County Magistrate Huang said: "The county magistrate can just find him a small courtyard to live in outside the government office. From now on, we will have to work in the county government office, so we can't keep him living there all the time."
"Can we let him help us manage Lingqiu? After all, he is also the county magistrate of Lingqiu. With his help, it will be much easier for us to manage." Yang Jiachen suggested.
However, before County Magistrate Huang could speak, Captain He said first: "Guo Binchang is a bit knowledgeable, but he is also a bookworm. He is good at calligraphy, poetry and painting, but he knows nothing about running a place."
"Can such a person be a county magistrate? If the Emperor of Heaven sends such a person to govern a county, won't he be afraid of causing trouble?" Yang Jiachen said in disbelief.
Captain He laughed and said: "The county government has six clerks and three shifts of government officials. As long as they are there, there will be no big trouble. It doesn't matter whether the county magistrate is capable or not, or to these six clerks. "The less capable the county magistrate is, the better."
"Then the county magistrate has no use. How about just choosing one of the six clerks to be the county magistrate." It was the first time Yang Jiachen heard that there were officials who governed the place like this, and he couldn't help but curse.
Captain He smiled and said: "The county magistrate is either a Juren or a Jinshi. They are all scholars, or scholars. Only these people can be officials. Although the six-room clerk knows a lot and has a lot of power, after all, he is a Little officials, generations of ancestors can’t change it.”
"In the Ming Dynasty, there were officials like this who guarded the place. How could they survive?" Yang Jiachen said.
County Magistrate Huang, who was sitting next to him, put down his chopsticks and said to Yang Jiachen: "The Ming Dynasty is not all incompetent officials like Guo Binchang. There are still many capable people. In addition, the six-room clerk cannot be an official and usually relies on bullying. If the people make some money, they will still maintain the rule of the Ming Dynasty, so even if the county magistrate cannot govern the place, the place can still operate normally. At most, the people will be exploited a little harder."
"Corrupt officials are the most hateful. It was because of the persecution of these corrupt officials that my father had to flee to the grassland." Yang Jiachen slapped his palms heavily on the table.
Although he is young, some things about his parents have not been hidden from him. He knows how his family came to the grassland and then was oppressed by the Mongols for so many years.
Even so, his parents were unwilling to return to the Ming Dynasty, which shows how ruthlessly the corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty exploited his parents.
Captain He patted Yang Jiachen on the shoulder and said with relief: "It's all over. Now with our Tiger Flag, no one dares to exploit your parents."
Yang Jiachen picked up the wine cup on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
"Don't drink too much and have some food." Captain He picked up the nuts on the plate and put them in Yang Jiachen's bowl.
He didn't take Yang Jiachen's childishness too seriously.
From the first moment he met Yang Jiachen, he understood in his heart that such a young man who was sent to Lingqiu should come to Lingqiu to practice. Nine times out of ten, he was a student who had just graduated from the martial arts hall.
For him, Yang Jiachen is not only the Prime Minister of Lingqiu County, but also a junior, and he is also the future of the Tiger Flag.
Being immature is not scary. After experiencing many things, you will naturally mature slowly. What these seniors have to do is to protect such young people and allow them to grow enough.
County Magistrate Huang swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "How many clerks in the sixth room and yamen servants in the third class are left?"
"There are still a lot of people. When the county government clears them out, I will send someone to call them to the county government." Captain He said.
County Magistrate Huang nodded and said, "Then it's all thanks to you."
"I'm here to cooperate and protect you. If you need anything, just ask me." Captain He said with a smile.
The food on the table is very simple, there is no big fish or meat.
The three of them had almost eaten, all the food and wine on the table had been cleared away, and all the wine in the jug had been drunk.
"You have traveled such a long way and have worked hard all the way. Go back to your room and rest first. The county government will clean it up and I will inform you." Captain He said to the two people.
County Magistrate Huang did not object and took Yang Jiachen back to the small courtyard where he was assigned.
Yang Jiachen, who returned to the door of his room, hesitated for a moment, turned to look at County Magistrate Huang who was walking to the next room, and said: "County Lord, didn't you say that the clerks in the sixth room are the most hateful, why did you ask them to go to the Yamen?"
County Magistrate Huang, who opened the door and was about to enter the house, took back the foot he bought.
"If you want to manage Lingqiu well, you cannot do without the help of the six-room clerk. Otherwise, just the two of us will be exhausted and we will not be able to manage Lingqiu." County Magistrate Huang explained to Yang Jiachen.
He knew that Yang Jiachen came to Lingqiu to cooperate with him, or to help Yang Jiachen skillfully handle the county's government affairs earlier, and to cultivate talents for the future expansion of Huzi Banner's territory.
Yang Jiachen frowned and said, "The scribes in the county government are all people who exploit the people. If we use them, they will secretly cause trouble with us, and they may not be willing to work in peace and peace of mind."
"Then it depends on the abilities of the two of us." County Magistrate Huang smiled at him and then stepped into the room.
Yang Jiachen hesitated for a while, but finally gave up the idea of chasing after him to find out more about it, opened the door and returned to his room.
Maybe he was really tired from the journey from Datong City to Lingqiu, and after drinking some wine, Yang Jiachen slept until dark. It wasn't until someone called him to eat that he sat up from the bed in a daze.
There was a copper basin on the wooden stand next to the door, with some water in it.
Yang Jiachen washed his face with water in the copper basin and felt a little more awake before opening the door and walking out.
As soon as he went out, he saw County Magistrate Huang waiting for him.
