The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

Xie Shuting was unaware of Xie Ningzhi's fear, and she didn't bother to arrange for anyone to inquire. As long as the letter was delivered to her grandfather, she believed that her grandfather would definitely vent her anger.

Because Xie Tingwen was too overwhelmed with official documents these days, he handed over some unimportant documents of the yamen to Xie Shuting.

Previously, Laigu County was a lower-level county, and there was no county magistrate and naturally no official clerk. However, Laigu County was now prosperous, so Xie Shuting did not have to start planning.

However, the clerkship of the county magistrate is no simpler than that of the heads of the six yamen. In addition to making suggestions, he is also responsible for the yamen's money, taxes, and criminal prosecutions.

Obviously, there are no good candidates at the moment, so Xie Tingwen can only push Xie Shuting up.

Xie Shuting finished sketching the last official document and put down her brush. Lian Xi, who was standing beside her, quickly fetched a towel and rubbed her sore fingers.

"Miss! You've already corrected the cursive script, why are you still so tired?"

"It's not that easy to handle official documents. We have to read every one of them carefully and follow the policies of the state government. There's nothing we can do about it."

While speaking, Xie Shuting closed her eyes slightly, enjoying Lian Xi's rubbing. After all, reviewing official documents was really stressful and tiring.

Although in her previous life she was the queen of a country and the queen mother, and taught two emperors personally, it was much more painful than it is now.

After rubbing for a while, the soreness in her fingers disappeared. Xie Shuting took a piece of rice paper and slowly unfolded it.

"Miss! Haven't you already dealt with everything? Why are you still writing?" Lian Xi looked at Xie Shuting's pale joints and said with some heartache.

"I've worked hard for a year. It's time to win over my father's people. Let's grind ink!"

"Oh!~"

Lian Xi thought of something secretly in her heart, pouted her lips, and responded reluctantly.

She really couldn't understand why the master let the young lady deal with such tedious matters when she was so busy every day.

The young lady had arranged for people to handle the Lotus House and the Lian Family Chamber of Commerce, just like a hands-off boss. Why didn't the master appoint someone from the Sixth Office to handle the matter, and let his young lady do it instead?

However, despite her dissatisfaction, she still followed Xie Shuting's instructions, picked up the ink stick obediently, and rubbed it gently on the inkstone.

As the ink stick and the inkstone continued to rub against each other, a rustling sound was heard, and the originally dry inkstone was once again covered with rich ink.

Xie Shuting didn't even look at Lian Xi's expression. She picked up her brush and started writing in small calligraphy on the rice paper.

Just as Lian Xi guessed in his heart, this list was the welfare dividend at the end of the year. Although it was nothing compared to the thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver earned by Lian's merchants, it was still quite troublesome.

Just as Xie Shuting finished writing about the six heads of the yamen and the important people in the yamen, she felt pain in her arms again. Lian Xi said distressedly, "Miss! Let me write about the others!"

Xie Shuting put down her brush, looked at the list on the rice paper, nodded and said, "Okay! The squad leader will write ten strings of cash, and the police officer will write three strings of cash."

"I understand." Lian Xi responded.

Xie Shuting stood up with a smile and made room for him. She picked up the teacup beside the table, took a sip to soothe her throat, and then rubbed her arms.

Lian Xi was concentrating on writing the copy. Xie Shuting did not disturb her because Lian Xi was very familiar with it. All the works of Lotus Tower in previous years were hers.

Before he knew it, it was noon. Lian Xi slowly put down his brush, blew on the ink that had not yet dried, and folded the rice paper.

"Miss! It's finished."

"Yeah!~"

Xie Shuting nodded and said, "Send these documents and bonuses to father, and call for some snacks, as we have something else to do in the afternoon."

"Yes! I'll go right away." Lian Xi bowed and left the back court carrying the documents on the tray.

Not long after, two maids were seen walking into the backyard with food boxes, putting down the cakes in the boxes and leaving quickly.

At first they were thinking of sticking to Xie Shuting, but after several reminders from Lian Xi and Uncle Qin, they realized that the county magistrate who took office this time was different from the previous ones.

Uncle Qin, as the steward of the county government, only allowed the servants of the original county government to sweep the courtyard and receive guests. As for the master's study and bedroom and the young lady's back room, they were not required to serve.

The maids originally had some small thoughts, but ever since Lian Xi showed his "domineering" side, those maids and servants dared not act rashly.

In the study, Xie Tingwen casually scanned a few documents and was very satisfied with Xie Shuting's comments. However, when he saw the rice paper handed over by Lian Xi, he couldn't help but frowned.

He spread the rice paper on the desk and asked suspiciously, "Is this what the young lady meant?"

Lian Xi leaned forward and said, "Yes, this is what the young lady just wrote."

"Nonsense, this is really nonsense. Go, go now, and ask the young lady to come to the study immediately." Xie Tingwen said coldly.

"Can......"

"Yeah!~"

Sensing that Lian Xi seemed to be having difficulty expressing himself, Xie Tingwen softened his tone and asked, "But what?"

"Master! The young lady has just gone to bed. She has just finished reviewing official documents since noon this morning. If there is nothing serious, then..."

Lian Xi said this, raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Xie Tingwen, and said tentatively: "How about waiting for the young lady to rest, and then I will ask the young lady to come over?"

Xie Tingwen looked at the documents piled on the desk, and his original anger dissipated a little. But when he saw the contents on the rice paper, the anger in his heart was difficult to calm down for a long time.

Lian Xi naturally noticed Xie Tingwen's expression, but due to her status she did not dare to comment on it.

After waiting for a while, Xie Tingwen waved his hand helplessly and said, "Go!"

"Yes!~"

Lian Xi bowed, saluted, and left the study.

After returning to the back court, she quickly and briefly told Xie Shuting what happened in the study, but Xie Shuting seemed unusually calm.

"Okay! I understand." Xie Shuting nodded in response.

Xie Tingwen's performance was naturally not beyond her expectations. After all, there are essential differences between being an official and doing business.

However, whether in the officialdom or business, logistical support is a crucial link. Considering the current development trend of Laigu County, the existing staffing is obviously far from sufficient.

As time goes by, there will inevitably be a need to further increase human resources in order to better cope with the booming business and trade as well as various possible disaster situations.

Only in this way can we ensure that Laigu County will move forward steadily on its future development path and achieve more remarkable achievements.

Therefore, changing Xie Tingwen's idea of ​​reading the books of sages is obviously not something that can be achieved overnight, and it will definitely take a lot of time.
