"Hey, don't be anxious, Your Highness. Although Xiaguan is just a small county magistrate with a thick face and a dark heart, Xiaguan was also forced by the situation in Wanping County.
As long as I wait for the official to sort out the situation in Wanping County, I will definitely bring unexpected surprises to His Highness!
At that time, I hope His Highness will reward him with more money or food for his merits in governing Wanping County! "
"Damn it, can you, a thief official, raise money? I despise officials who are greedy for money!"
"Your Highness, I forgive you. I really don't know. What else can I do if I don't mention money?"
"You are just a small county magistrate now. Don't you want to be a magistrate, or the chief envoy of Peking, or even become a Beijing official?"
"No, no, Xiaguan doesn't have much ambition. Being able to become the county magistrate of a county and affecting the livelihood of tens of thousands of people is already Xiaguan's greatest ability. If he is promoted to another official, he will definitely die!
Therefore, Xiaguan once again begged His Highness to keep Xiaguan in Beiping and make him magistrate of a county! "
As he spoke, Guo An directly picked up the wine glass beside him and drank it all in one gulp. Then he turned the glass over to show that he had drank it cleanly.
Zhu Di looked furious, "You thief official don't want to be my great official?"
Guo An quickly explained with an apologetic smile, "Your Highness has misunderstood Xiaguan. At his core, Xiaguan is a common man who is greedy for pleasure and wants to eat and drink. Therefore, he is lazy by nature and can still survive as a county magistrate.
If he climbs up the ladder further, he will be tolerated by officials all over the world just for his out-of-touch temperament! "
"From all accounts, you are a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"
"Your Highness is wise. The greatest skill of a subordinate is to be self-aware. Apart from having crooked talents in his belly, he only has talents that are greedy for life, afraid of death, and greedy for pleasure!"
"Fuck..."
Zhu Di looked furious, picked up the wine glass, and took a deep drink.
"Hmph, can't you learn from your ancestor Guo Taishi?"
"Your Highness actually knows about the ancestor of Xianguan's family?"
"Hmph, if it weren't for Guo Taishi, why would I let you be the magistrate of Wanping County?"
"What? The position of magistrate of Wanping County that I can serve is actually arranged by His Highness? In this case, I must offer His Highness a glass of wine... no, three glasses of wine!"
"You, a thief, have a conscience!"
"Dry!"
"Since the job of magistrate of Wanping County in Xiaguan is arranged by His Highness, I wonder if His Highness can match him with the title of County Magistrate and Chief Bo?"
"You can just go to the Chief Envoy of Peking for this matter!"
"Your Highness, don't try to prevaricate the official. I have figured it out. For such a long time, the Chief Envoy of Peiping has not given him any assistant officials such as the county magistrate and the chief minister. Maybe the Chief Envoy of Peiping doesn't know. Your Highness is so thoughtful that he doesn’t dare to be paired with a lower official!
Therefore, regarding this matter, I can only trouble His Highness! "
"Then tell me, who do you want to be your assistant?"
"Hehe, I boldly ask Your Highness to assign him a second officer with a strong background. Even if the ability is not that strong, a strong background is required!"
"Why?"
"Xiaoguan is afraid that Wanping County's achievements are too outstanding and will be jealous of the prefectures and counties in Beiping Prefecture, and will be deliberately targeted! Therefore, Xiaguan needs someone who can calm down the situation but has a good mind to come to Wanping County Office Take office!”
"Hmph, you thief official, do you know that I am just a prince. I can only control the military and government of Beiping Mansion during wartime. I am not allowed to interfere with the government affairs of Beiping Mansion, especially the appointment of officials...
Damn it, where can I find a civil servant to be your assistant? "
"If you are not able to serve as an assistant official, how about your highness find a canonical historian for your subordinate? And then urge the Chief Envoy of Peking to appoint an assistant official to your subordinate?"
"Are you such a timid official like you?"
"Your Highness, you don't know. Every time I go out, I can always notice someone staring at me in the dark! However, every time I look back, I find nothing!"
"Do you know who they are?"
"I don't know!"
"Hmph, don't worry, there are just a lot of Dianshi in my palace! I will send you a Dianshi tomorrow!"
Guo An looked grateful and raised his glass again, "Your Highness, if you can really send a prince to help Xia Guan calm down the situation, Xia Guan will definitely make more money and manage Wanping County like a paradise on earth. The presence!"
"Heaven on earth?"
Zhu Di sneered, his face full of disdain.
"You're such a thief, you really know how to talk drunkenly!"
"Your Highness, don't underestimate how demanding a person who is greedy for pleasure will be about his own living conditions!"
"So, if you can really manage Wanping County into a paradise on earth, I will definitely reward you with ten thousand taels of silver!"
"Your Highness, you still want to keep the lower official in the position of county magistrate, even if it is the county magistrate and the lord Bo Ducheng!"
"You're a thief...but I agree!"
"Thank you, Your Highness. I will give you three more glasses!"
"Dry……"
This time, Guo An didn't know how long he had been drinking. Anyway, when he woke up, it was already the morning of the next day.
Under the service of the maid, I hurriedly washed myself and ran to the county government office.
Full of joy along the way!
He believed that after having a drink last night and drawing such a big cake for Zhu Di, he was at least safe now!
Another morning spent reviewing grain accounts.
By afternoon.
Just when Guo An felt that he could enjoy some free time, a government servant suddenly came in to report that a strong man had come outside, claiming to be the new Dianshi!
"Please come quickly!"
Guo An was overjoyed. He didn't expect that Zhu Laosi was so efficient this time.
In less than a moment, a tall, muscular man with a fierce face walked in from outside the door.
"Xiaguan Wang has really met the county magistrate!"
Seeing Guo An, Wang Zhen bowed respectfully.
"Wang Dianshi must not be polite. From now on, the safety of tens of thousands of people in Wanping County depends entirely on Wang Dianshi!"
Guo An had a gentle look on his face and was very satisfied with Wang Zhen as a classic.
"The county magistrate is so polite!"
Wang Zhen still nodded calmly.
"They are all members of our own family, Wang Dianshi doesn't have to be polite."
Guo An smiled softly and said again: "Wang Dianshi has just arrived. I will call for someone to take Wang Dianshi to familiarize himself with the situation of the county government and get to know all his colleagues in the county government. Today Wang Dianshi can deal with some personal matters first. Business, I have something important to do tomorrow, please bother Wang Dianshi!"
"I obey my orders!"
Wang Zhen responded with a solemn expression.
"Somebody come!"
Guo An shouted towards the outside.
"I wonder what the county magistrate's orders are?" A government servant quickly ran in.
Guo An pointed at Wang Zhen and said: "This is my new Wang Dianshi in Wanping County. You should quickly go and call the three squad leaders and all the inspectors to meet Wang Dianshi!"
"Yes, County Lord!"
As the yamen officers left, the entire county yamen suddenly became lively again.
When the "Fourth Master" of the county government took office, everyone spontaneously came up to pay their respects!
Especially the class leaders, patrol inspectors, and civilians of Class 3!
