"You don't have to be polite, please get up quickly."
Zhu Renxia was very pleased with the cooperation of the officials in Jinping County. He was glad that he did not encounter the same situation as Li Yao, who was stumbling upon his subordinates for wearing small shoes.
"Sure enough, money can make all the difference!" Zhu Renxia sighed secretly in his heart.
He knew that the reason why he was able to enjoy such treatment was partly due to Liu Gongfu's face, partly to the prefect's official prestige, and finally to money.
Donating 50,000 taels of silver all at once to support the county government, I am afraid that I am the only one in the Ming Dynasty's more than two hundred years of history.
Zhu Renxia felt that he needed to explain, and said loudly: "The reason why this county can get five thousand taels of gold is because our Chang'an Town dug out the gold mine from the underground of the village, and then it prospered and prospered, and accumulated a lot of money. money.
As the local official, this county has informed the magistrate that Chang'an Town and Village will be officially upgraded to Chang'an Town. Starting today, we have a new town in Jinping County, and that is Chang'an Town. "
Wu Huaijie hurriedly agreed: "I heard that Chang'an Town is now extremely wealthy. The people have enough food and clothing, the economy is prosperous, and the population exceeds 3,000 people. It should be upgraded to a town."
Others said: "The county magistrate is the head of the county. You have the final say and we all listen to you. Even if you want to move the county government office from Jinping to Chang'an Town, we agree."
"hehe……"
Zhu Renxia smiled and did not comment, but he was secretly thinking that it might not be a bad idea.
First of all, Jinping County only has more than 12,000 people, and its city walls are in tatters. In terms of prosperity and city size, it is gradually being overtaken by Chang'an Town.
Secondly, it often happened that local officials moved their administrative offices. All they needed to do was compile a letter and report it to the prefect and governor. This was much simpler than the procedure for appointing local officials.
But Zhu Renxia also knew that he was a new official after all, and if he moved the administrative office before he was firmly established, he would definitely arouse complaints from the people of Jinping County. It's best to do this step by step, and don't rush it.
"The current construction of Chang'an Town is indeed changing with each passing day, but the matter of moving the county government office is not a trivial matter. We will discuss it another day."
Zhu Renxia then changed the topic and continued to ask Wu Huaijie: "Master Wu, may I ask how many armors we still have in the warehouse?"
"Xiaguan has always been the county magistrate and doesn't know the inventory. Let Gan Bocao answer the county magistrate's words." Wu Huaijie threw the topic to Bocao, who was standing in the crowd.
Bo Cao is the official in the landlord's family, responsible for accounting and statistics.
Upon hearing this, Gan Bocao immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said: "If you go back to the county, since there has been no war for a long time, we have accumulated a number of armors in our warehouse. It is estimated that there should be thousands of armors. It's just that they have been idle for a long time and are a bit worn out. .”
“It’s great that there are thousands of pairs!”
Zhu Renxia was overjoyed and ordered Liu Gongfu, Wu Huaijie, and Gan Bocao: "I want to return to Chang'an Town and lead the People's Zhuang Regiment to Guiyang to support Futai, but the soldiers lack armor. You must gather people immediately, repair these armors, and wait for the county Come and requisition.”
"I obey your orders." The three officials clasped their fists together and accepted the order.
Just when Zhu Renxia was about to announce his resignation, Liu Gongfu made another request: "County Master, I, Liu Gongfu, are a rough man. It's okay if you ask me to catch thieves and solve crimes. It's okay if you let me lead troops to fight. But if you let me manage The place is really beyond its capabilities, how about you send the fifth master to the county to help?"
Wu Huaijie was also very familiar with the fifth one, and his impression of him was much better than that of Deng Kewei's master. He immediately agreed: "Although the fifth master is a bit talkative, he is very capable and responsible. If he is transferred here, It could not be better."
Zhu Renxia held his chin and thought for a moment, then said: "After Commander Jiang and I go on the expedition, Chang'an Town needs someone to take charge, and the Fifth Master will definitely be inseparable. I will transfer Zhao Yun to you to help."
"Brother Zhao is fine. After all, he is the one who won the imperial examination." Liu Gongfu didn't choose, so Zhao Yun just took Zhao Yun.
Hearing that there was another person in Chang'an Town who had passed the imperial examination, Wu Huaijie, who was also a civil servant, couldn't help but be in awe, "I never expected that there are people in Chang'an Town who have passed the imperial examination. It's really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon!"
Liu Gongfu laughed: "Haha... Mr. Wu didn't expect it, right? In addition to this Zhao Juren, Commander Jiang of our People's Zhuang Regiment was a former General Qian, and was once praised by General Qi Jiguang as 'the bravest of the three armies'." "
"Disrespect, disrespect!" Wu Huaijie was filled with admiration and clasped his fists repeatedly.
It was getting dark now, and Zhu Renxia decided that everyone would stay in Jinping County for one night and leave tomorrow.
In the dead of night, Zhu Renxia looked up to the sky and saw the giant face of Chang'an Tianzun.
"Tianzun, this disciple is now the magistrate of Jinping County." Zhu Renxia clasped his hands together and communicated with Zhu Changan from his heart.
He knew that he was now an official of the imperial court and a parent official of Jinping County. If he raised his head and talked to himself, he was afraid that he would cause rumors, so it was better to communicate with his heart.
"Well done. In less than a year, you have become the county magistrate. Work hard and you will have a bright future."
Zhu Changan stood outside the box with a smile on his face and talked to Zhu Renxia in a loud voice.
Half a month passed in the box, and he had only been back from the hospital for four or five days. Although his injuries were gradually improving, he was still unable to go out and do other things.
Therefore, Zhu Changan's daily task is to recuperate from his injuries, use acupuncture to speed up his recovery from injuries, observe the world in the box, and take time to study Rou's body structure below.
In addition, the underground vault built by New Century Security Company is in full swing. The project is going very smoothly and it is estimated that it will be completed in another half month.
Zhu Renxia added: "The warehouses in Jinping County are empty, with only 30,000 shi of grain. I want Tianzun to reward me with some rice and noodles so that I can win over the people."
Zhu Changan thought for a moment and gave a solemn answer: "You are now the county magistrate, and there are more and more people under your rule. It is best not to expose the existence of this Heavenly Lord easily. I will conjure food for you for no reason. , will inevitably lead to all kinds of rumors, you should try to control this kind of discussion within the scope of Chang'an Town.
It is easy for me to give grain to the people of Jinping County, but I cannot put it directly into the county. What will the officials and the people think when they see the county government showing up with mountains of grain for no reason? How will they discuss it?
Three people become tigers, one spreads to ten, and ten spreads to hundreds. Jinping County will spread to Liping Mansion, Liping Mansion will spread to the entire Guizhou, and Guizhou will spread to the entire Ming Dynasty. What if the court knew that Chang'an Town was blessed by gods? Will it cause trouble and create complications? These consequences need to be carefully considered.
Therefore, I can only leave the grain to you in Chang'an Town, and you can send someone to transport it to Jinping County by carriage. Although this is a bit verbose, it can ensure that Chang'an Town will not cause an uproar.
After hearing this, Zhu Renxia felt as if he was enlightened and hurriedly bowed to express his thanks: "My disciple was anxious to help the poor people in Jinping County, but he didn't think carefully about it. Thank you Tianzun for your guidance."
Zhu Changan asked again: "By the way, have you not forgotten that I asked you to send someone to buy some antiques nearby?"
"How dare I forget that disciples have sent Xie Yangxin, Chen Zhili, Yan Wen and others to carry gold and silver to Tongren, Guilin and other places to buy antiques a few days ago. When disciples return to Chang'an Town tomorrow, they will take their harvest Dedicated to the Heavenly Lord." Zhu Renxia replied respectfully.
"See you tomorrow morning then."
Zhu Changan nodded with satisfaction.
His request to Zhu Renxia this time was very simple. Buy it nearby and try to complete the task within five or six days. In addition to calligraphy and painting, other porcelain, jade, jewelry, bronze, etc., as long as they are old enough, have a certain value. , I will buy it.
The reason why Zhu Changan lowered his requirements this time and accepted all kinds of antiques was to distribute goods to "Chang'an Cultural Antique Company" so that Cheng Mei, the general manager, could be useful.
She is a high-priced manager whom she hired with an annual salary of 30 million yuan. If she is not allowed to help make money, it is possible that she will be used as a supporter by Lafayette.
At dawn the next day, Zhu Renxia said goodbye to Liu Gongfu, Wu Huaijie and other officials, led Jin Zhu and more than 30 followers, got on his horse, and left Jinping County for Chang'an Town.
