A few days later, an official document from the Ministry of Personnel was sent to Lu'an County, promoting Yu Dongqing to the position of Lu'an County Magistrate, Zhou Huai temporarily filling the post of County Lieutenant, and emphatically commending Yu Liang. As for other officers and soldiers of Wuwei Mansion who were on duty, they were all There are corresponding merit notes and praises, which are equivalent to performance appraisal bonuses.
This is the advantage of following the imperial envoy to handle imperial cases. If you get it done, it will be a great achievement and a beautiful addition to your resume.
At this moment, the entire Liu'an Wuwei Mansion was very lively. The ordinary officers and soldiers were holding official rewards, and they were all very happy, and they were all clamoring to go out for a drink.
Some other officers and soldiers who did not participate in the mission are all jealous. This not only provides extra bonuses, but more importantly, it records merit. With merit, it will be easier to be promoted in the future.
"Hey, Xiao Liu, why are you so happy?" said an old officer and soldier who had just returned from duty.
"What else could it be? I'll just take credit and get a reward." Another person added with a sour tone.
"Really or not? I also heard that something big happened in our county on the way back. How much reward did you get? You look like this."
The officer named Xiao Liu laughed loudly, put his arm around the visitor's shoulders and said, "No more, no more, just three thousand dollars."
"So much?" The veteran was surprised. Three thousand coins was more than their monthly salary.
"None of these are important. What's important is that I got a great merit." Xiao Liu continued to show off.
"You brat, are you deliberately trying to piss me off? If I hadn't been escorting the prisoner to the county, it wouldn't have been your turn to have this wonderful job of following Zhou's inspection. I don't care, you must treat me to a drink after I get off duty today!"
"Haha, it's easy to talk, but Lao Zhang, you can't call Zhou Xinxing anymore, then you have to call Zhou County Lieutenant."
"Oh? The weekly inspection has also been promoted?"
"Isn't that true?" Xiao Liu said mysteriously: "I also heard that Zhang Shangshu mentioned Master Zhou's name in his letter to His Majesty. He is the Holy One. He mentioned it, can he not be promoted? ?”
"His Lord Zhou, this will be great from now on."
The ordinary officers and soldiers were discussing merit recording and bonuses, and Yu Dongqing naturally received a lot of congratulations.
Yu Liang, a girl in her early twenties, with a slender figure and plump breasts, but always dressed up in smart clothes, was curling up her red lips and saying, "Well, they've all been promoted, and I'm the only one who's a little bitch." ."
Zhou Huai chuckled and said: "Miss Yu, what are you talking about? Just based on your resume, no one in Huainan will dare to look down on you in the future, let alone other counties, even if you go to the county-level Wuwei Mansion to apply for a job, it is probably just a sentence." thing."
"You put it that way, I really want to visit Chang'an." Yu Liang said half truthfully.
Zhou Huai got excited about the conversation: "Speaking of Chang'an, I have never been to the capital in my life. By the way, Miss Yu, have you heard of Qi Ying?"
"Of course." Yu Liang was a little surprised that he changed the subject so quickly: "As long as he works in Wuwei Mansion, who hasn't heard of him? Why, do you know him?"
"How can we, a small patrol inspector, know such a big official?" Zhou Huai said: "He once recorded a "Record of Important Cases", which contains all the strange cases that he personally experienced. It seems to be a terrifying thing, but in fact it is... It is the murderer who is pretending to be a ghost, and deliberately confuses the audience. He mostly uses inconspicuous flaws to peel off the cocoon, through various clues, to clear up the fog, and finally uncover the truth. There are many descriptions of the investigation techniques in this record. I read it carefully and benefited from it. To be honest, if it weren’t for Qi Ying, I, Zhou Huai, might not be where I am today, so I consider myself a good teacher and hope to meet Master Qi in my lifetime.”
Yu Liang said sternly: "This is an important case record. Lend it to me to take a look when you have time."
"No problem." Zhou Huai agreed readily.
Yu Dongqing said: "Don't be too fanciful. What kind of person is Qi Ying? He is the most capable general under General Ye Cheng. The chief of the general government, how can you two little people reach such a high level?"
"Hey, aren't we just chatting?" Zhou Huai said happily.
Two days later, the new county magistrates, chief ministers and other officials of Lu'an who were dispatched by the imperial court took office one after another. Zhang Jingrui also hosted a meeting in the county house. On the one hand, everyone could meet each other and get to know each other and their colleagues. On the other hand, On the other hand, they are also given some official duties so that they can perform their respective duties.
Yu Dongqing is now the magistrate of Lu'an County. Needless to say, his job is to handle all the county's government affairs, and he also has to sign and seal some important official documents.
The new county magistrate was temporarily in charge of disaster relief matters, including the allocation and use of money and food.
The main bookkeeper is assigned to be in charge of accounting documents.
The Water Conservancy Supervision Bureau was assigned to be in charge of dredging and dredging rivers.
The Water Conservancy Magistrate was assigned to be in charge of the purchase, inspection, and operation of all materials for water conservancy projects.
Needless to say, Zhou Huai, the new county captain, still maintained good security and assisted in major government affairs in the county, such as when order needed to be maintained.
After putting all these things in place, Zhang Jingrui looked around and said: "Everyone is aware of the current situation of people's livelihood in Liu'an. I won't say it again. I have only one request: to fulfill my duties and tide over the difficulties with the people."
"I obey Jun's order——" All the officials bowed their hands and bowed.
At this time, the county government had officially started, with river diversion and dredging being the first to start. The construction of the new Lu'an Dam also began to be approved.
The scene of recruiting civilian laborers was packed with people, because the flood affected too many people. Some people survived, but they became refugees. Not to mention the wages, even if they only had a mouthful of food, these victims would rush to work. .
At the scene, an official directed the officers and soldiers to maintain order. At the same time, he banged the gong several times. After the crowd calmed down, he shouted loudly: "How many times have I told you! This recruitment will give priority to the people affected by the disaster. You can't see the official notice." Understand! Those people from other places should not come to join in the fun!"
This recruitment was personally approved by Zhang Jingrui, and the remuneration provided was excellent, including ten cents per day, two meals at noon and evening, and a work shed for living.
This salary is enough for an ordinary family to live for a month. It is comparable to some handicrafts, workshops and the like in the city, or even better, because it also takes care of food and housing.
This naturally attracted some other people, who didn't want to make some money.
Zhang Jingrui treated the victims so well, which was obviously a form of work-for-relief plus an obvious form of assistance. He didn't want to see the days when people had no land and no food to eat.
The official was still shouting: "I'll say it again for the last time! If you are not a disaster victim, even if you fish in troubled waters and get a job today, then when you pay your wages in the future, if you verify your household registration and find that it is false, your wages will be deducted. Don't blame me for not reminding you. Sometimes your work is in vain, so everyone should be more conscious!"
As soon as these words were spoken, many people sighed and had no choice but to leave. (End of chapter)
